Yeah, so we are we are doing uh the warriors and come out to play Yay. Um plus we gotta Ask Orange in Guess the shit idle. We've also got a movie rant from our grumpy old bastard, uh Seth Constantine. And um so Neil, basically, all I've gotta say is get your leather waistcoat at the ready. Yeah, I've got the trousers on and the pants. Um we are off to Coney Island. So, Neil, can you can you can you dig it? Can you dig it? Have some of that. So so there you go. That that intro, nice and quick. You know, it's gonna have been on my sex life. Have you anything about our sponsors? Oh, oh god, do you know what, Neil? We have. Have we really? Yeah, things are looking up. So people, we've got a new sponsor, and um, it's all to do with movies. This this podcast we do now. And they've got a hold of like very rare movie movie trailers. That's what they've done. Oh, is that what yeah? They've never been shown, Neil. So they're rare as shit. Then they never made it to to screen or to to um well to YouTube or any anything which shows movie trailers.

SPEAKER_03 2:23

So, but Neil, they send it to us. No, we should bring this back, you know, you know that. What I mean, like, remember Barry Norman, you know, movie 85, movie 86. Why are the movie 2025, 2026?

SPEAKER_02 2:37

Because it because of social media and the age of the internet now.

SPEAKER_03 2:40

I know Jonathan Ross used to do it, he used to review movies, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:43

But uh again, you know, you can watch anything on on um the interweb these days, way before it comes out. Yeah, especially.

SPEAKER_03 2:52

You can also watch football, but they still have fucking pundits talking about what we already know.

SPEAKER_02 2:57

But what I'm saying to you, Neil, is no one watches the fucking telly anymore, everybody watches it online, yeah. Capiche. That's why there's more podcasts and ever. A little thing on podcasting. Do you know what pisses me off? What really boils my piss, what really gets my goat, the fact that there's so many celebrities now, comedians. Jonathan Ross is one of them, yeah, and people like him. Um, that they they've earned all this money from social media, or not social media, but from TV and radio and all that, and now they're delving into podcasts, yeah. You know, this is greedy. Greedy. This is for the us the little guys, you know what I mean? Trying to like make a little way on social media, we're never getting on TV. You know, this is our little way of of doing something, and now they're jumping in on the bandwagon and all you greedy bastards.

SPEAKER_03 3:45

I was watching uh uh Cave Lemon on there the other day, yeah. Um, whatever you want to call him. Um, but he's real man now, John. Uh Lee Francis. He does one now, yeah. I even watched The Rock, John. He was on one multi multi-billion bastard air, and he was with um Sylvester Stallone and uh uh he was on the other end, and uh what I forgot the other the other block.

SPEAKER_02 4:08

I suppose, yeah, but what I'm saying is it's all right if you're you're hosting a podcast and you get a special guest in, yeah, because that's good for you, yeah. But if you are a special, you you are a celebrity, a TV movie celebrity, and you're doing your own podcast, you don't need the fucking money. You know what I mean? You've already got the limelight. Leave it to us, let us try and get a bit of like whatever we're trying to do. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, give us a bit of limelight, give us a bit of limelight kind of thing, you know. So, yeah, but there's loads of people. What the fucking I don't I don't know how many celebrities near, do you? I know allows. I mean in this country anyway.

SPEAKER_03 4:46

Well louds are good, then name this one. Um Silla Black.

SPEAKER_02 4:50

She's dead now. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 4:51

I have to dig that one up there, yeah. Rest in peace, Silla. Yeah, love you, Silla. She's one there of a legend. Um, yeah, there's loads of people do it, John social media, you know, famous people. Yeah, actually talk to them. Peter Odder Wingy does one, John. Oh fuck it.

SPEAKER_02 5:04

He's from the place to be a West Brom player. Very, very we don't care about him now. I do, John. I don't, not interested. Not interested. Because one is nothing to do with movies, nothing to do with TV. Johnny played with TV, and plus he he he he shot our club in the in the back. Yeah, he did. So there you go. Piss off Peter. Good player. He was a good player. Um yeah, we have got we are a sponsor now, and uh it's Gauss Beer Pictures now.

SPEAKER_03 5:31

In the sleepy screen of the free, free, free, free, free, free, free, free, free, free, mic, um, money, junior, easy, we're the groovy man, he's pretty so there you go. No one knows about that that film new, because it never it never actually came to proficient. He it was just never got made.

SPEAKER_03 6:42

No, no, which is a shame. I love uh Austin Powers are there, John.

SPEAKER_02 6:46

Yeah, but that's not Austin Powers Neil. Yeah, but he played Austin Powers. That's that's that's Mike Myers Jr. Michael Myers Jr. Yeah, let's go with that. That's that sounds feasible. So we know the Warriors Neil. Let's get into the Warriors. Come on, then, kid. Let's let's get a get on that get on that subway and make our way down to the Bronx. Let's bop our way home. That's if that's if we make it home, Neil. So basically, in a nutshell, Warriors is a 1979 action thriller, about a street gang who have to escape from the Bronx after being framed for the murder of Cyrus, a respected gang league. Neil, you ain't gonna believe what I've got.

SPEAKER_03 7:30

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 7:32

Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah. No, he's not here, Neil, but I've got his speech. Well, most of it, yeah. So on yeah, so this is Cyrus's speech. In the what if you haven't watched the film, you need to watch it just for the speech. Legendary. Here we go. Can you count suckers? You got the Saracens sitting next to the Jones Street boys, we've got the moon runners next to the Van Corn and Rangers. Nobody's wasting nobody. We've got 20,000 hardcore members, 40,000 affiliates, 60,000 soldiers. Now there ain't but 20,000 police in the whole town. Can you dig it?

SPEAKER_03 8:15

Can I just say, sir? Go on, you know there's free Rave Records, right? I can't believe you've just cut Saurus's speech short. John, they are in the Rive Records. Can you dig it? Right? And then you got 20,000 hardcore revers. That's what it says, right? The top buzzwinds, and then you got DJ Rap done one, and uh it says uh the other bit, John, that we ain't got two yet. What good news, Bar's the bigger leaves have been cool?

SPEAKER_02 8:44

Neil that one and how but Neil, you you you're cutting in again. I'm just telling you about the ride record. That's fantastic. Now I've got to go back. I've lost me my page for Soris' speech. Dick Splat. Sixty thousand soldiers. Now there ain't but twenty thousand police in the whole town. Can you dig it? Can you dig it? Can you dig it? One Dick Splat, one gang to run this city. We got the street suckers. Can you dig it?

SPEAKER_03 9:19

Fantastic, Neil. I just think it's iconic. I don't give a shit what anybody says. It is Neil. It is Neil. It's just there's that many um there's that many signs in the film as well, John. Oh no. There is a bit like um uh what's his name, Roudhouse.

SPEAKER_02 9:34

There's that many good signs in that, and that's what makes the film quotable signs, really quotable signs. That's what it is. Um, it's like, but you know, when they've done that scene, that there was actually real gangs there. Yeah, there's real gangs there. Now, so Neil, I I've got a little ranking of some of the gangs because you like it that much, John. I've got a little ranking, Neil, from gangs ranking from worst to best, yeah. You know, in in the in the in the the world of the warriors, yeah. So basically, this is this is what I've come up with. You got the saracens, Neil. Do you know where the sarens Saracens are? Yeah, the Saracens are basically like the Warriors from a different part of town. Then you got the Hurricanes, the Hurricanes are the Spanish ones, hey amigo, yeah, kind of things. I'm pretty loco. That's the hurricane. Then you've got the the Van Courtman Rangers, which Sora spoke about. You've got the Bull, the Boyle Avenue Runners. Now, I don't know if they're their leaders, Susan Boyle. I'm not too sure. It could be, do you know what I mean? You never know, she gets around. You know, she was old when she was on the X Factor. She's probably about 30 in 1979. So yeah, that could be the Suzanne Boyle Avenue Runners. Then you got the gladiators, and I don't mean shadow, and wolf turning up in his big hamster ball in nightshade. Then you've got the savage huns, you got the moon runners, you got the panzers, you got the Joan Street Voice Boys who is rivals to the Warriors, you got the Satan mothers, the electric eliminators, and then you've got the boppers. The boppers, the boppers was the cool dudes, yeah, the black cool dudes in the like the um the silk silk purple shirts and and the funky hats. Then you've got the hi-hats now. Do you know that no with the hi hats?

SPEAKER_03 11:32

The hi hats. Well, so with the hi hats on.

SPEAKER_02 11:37

Well, yeah, they're called hi hats, but what what they are, they're a street mime gang. Do you know the ones with the white faces and that's that that's them, that's the hi-hats. Come on, sippy. Then you got the punks. The punks are the ones who had a fight in the subway in the toys. They're the punks. Then you got the orphans, neil's fiery gang. If Neil was gonna be in your gang, you'd be in the orphans, yeah. Definitely. You meet in the orphans, then you got the turbulice, the turbulice, sorry, the Lizzie's, the rogues, and the baseball furies coming in at number two from worst to best, the gramacy riffs.

SPEAKER_03 12:22

Whoa, you don't fuck with the riffs, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 12:25

Well, uh, who was the leader?

SPEAKER_03 12:27

I can't remember his name.

SPEAKER_02 12:28

Exactly, and then the warriors as obviously was his name said in it. Oh, obviously.

SPEAKER_03 12:34

What was his name? Was the name said in in the film?

SPEAKER_02 12:38

Yeah, I remember. I've got a quiz for you later, Neil. So I think that's one of the questions. Is it? Yeah, so that's gonna get down to storm that is.

SPEAKER_03 12:46

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 12:47

So, yeah, and the number one is obviously the Warriors. Yeah, it's as simple as bloody that. So, Neil, the Warriors. Yeah, the film is iconic, as we well know. It's set in um 1979, or that's when the the film come out. I don't know, I don't I have no idea where it when it's set now, because it's very kind of how can you say it's not futuristic, but it is, it's got that futuristic kind of dystopian feel, don't you think?

SPEAKER_03 13:15

Can I ask you a question? You can ask me. When I watched it lightly, yeah, it's it goes into cartoon mode and then goes on to other sections.

SPEAKER_02 13:22

Is that that's a dark that's a director's cut, I think, or the extended edition, one of the two. Yeah, because I think that's what it is. The worries is kind of a cartoon um style it's very cartoonish. Yeah, do you know what I mean? I mean, look at look at some of the gangs. I mean, if you were gonna be approached by some a gang dressed as mime artists, what do they mime it in you or something? You know what I mean? Like stuck in a glass box, yeah. You know, that I don't think I don't I don't know if you'd be laughing or or running for your life, yeah. Do you know what I mean? So that that's why it's got that kind of um cartoonish um flavour through it, and that's why in the director's cut there is a kind of a a cartoony element with the with the cuts of the film, yeah. So yeah. So what what have we all got in what have we got in your now to say kid? Oh you know, just with what you already said. I'm bloody tasted. I am yeah, but I remember watching it when it first came out. There was Neil, there's nothing better back in the day. Um the early 80s, yeah. There's a new film out. You get get your your best clubber on, your shoes, and you run out into the the dirty, murky, mog ridden streets of Wartel to get up to the uh the video store. Alan's Alan's video store put loose face on the wall at the top of Plaque.

SPEAKER_03 14:44

Well, I just want to say something, right? Yeah, when when all of films that start off with a good soundtrack, right? It makes it a bit like the wanderers, yeah. You know, a bit like um Greece. There's a gang in Greece. There's this one when he's two gangs in Greece when the when he uh shoots uh Cyrus, yeah. What song comes on, John? When he when he shoots him, yeah, and and and the air with the big lips is there going so when he gets shot, yeah, and then they uh run.

SPEAKER_02 15:20

That's not when he gets shot though, is it?

SPEAKER_03 15:21

Yeah, when he gets shot, yeah. But it was he all he says it when he's lying on the floor and one of the warriors are there, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:27

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 15:28

He says it, and then all of a sudden the radio It wasn't it was the warrior.

SPEAKER_01 15:32

The warrior should say yeah, and that's when the thought it was the warriors, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 15:36

Yeah, yeah. So and then obviously the radio comes on and then it shows the woman that you know who sees the lips say. I'm sure I'm sure that's it, and people are yeah, other small small, and then like to we're gonna put a sound gun for you warriors. You better go on just keep on running.

SPEAKER_02 15:54

No, it's um it's some running because there's a lot of running in the warriors, kind of running songs. There's more running in the warriors than in charity fire, and that was a better race. Yeah, there's a lot there's a lot of chase scenes in in the warriors. Um, so Neil, the Warriors is so we'll get to the chase scenes in a minute. The Warriors. Do you know um the actual who the Warriors were? The names of them. So basically, at the at the start of the film, he got killed straight away, didn't he? I think he got killed with elbows because you just don't worry. Have some of that. That was uh that was the war chief, Neil. The war chief of the Warriors. His name was Cleon, yeah, Cleon. And he died within 10 minutes of the film. Yeah, so the number two steps up, Neil Swan.

SPEAKER_03 16:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:38

Now Swan's a cool dude, yeah. He texts now shit. Do you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03 16:43

Why do they call him Swan because he's always got a vest through?

SPEAKER_02 16:47

I don't know why they called him Swan Neil, to be honest. Maybe he had he had a tag on his leg, he was protected by the queen. I don't know. Maybe he maybe feeds on bread. I really don't know. But uh Swan, the the guy who played Swan, Michael Beck. Or was it Peck? Michael Beck. Peck, it might have been Peck, John's gonna chance Peck, Michael Peck, because that's why they called him Swan. Um, he was the uh the lead male in Zanadu with the Livvy Newton, was he? He was, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you got Ajax, who to meard above. Yeah, I thought I think his real name was Daz. Um at Ajax, he was the best, he was the main warrior for me. Yeah, he was the he was he he had the he had the the the good lines, yeah. He died give a shit, and he looked the part.

SPEAKER_03 17:34

Who gets good by the coppers?

SPEAKER_02 17:36

Yeah, who gets arrested by that bitch on the fucking set him up, set him up, man. You know what I mean? She was coming on to him, huh?

SPEAKER_03 17:46

You know, that was a sting at its best. Well the one guy's bought 20,000 fucking hardcore members. I remember he was thinking, I was wearing these pants.

SPEAKER_02 17:59

Well, that's how cool he was, and he didn't care about now. Do you know what I mean? So Ajax got arrested, he was out the film way too, way too quick, yeah for me. Then you got Coaches, hey Coach Coach was the the one who had the kind of the Indian headdress, yeah. Do you know what I mean? Then you got Rembrandt, the artist, the one with the Afro, yeah, he was called Rembrandt Neil because he was an artist. Well, I'm not being funny, but when he drew the W on that gravestone or whatever it was, it was fucking shit. If he was the best, best spray bank graffiti artist out of the Warriors, the rest must have been terrible, absolutely terrible. Then you got Fox, who was the scout, he were the tail. You got Fox who was the scout, right? But he he died quick as well, didn't he? Yeah, he got through onto the tracks, and then do you know why he got he got killed off quite quick?

SPEAKER_03 18:57

No.

SPEAKER_02 18:58

Well, Fox was a uh kind of a well-known actor at the time. Yeah, he also played a big part in the movie The Thing. He was Windows in the Thing. I think it was called Windows. Yeah, some night it might not have been Windows, it was it was one of them anyway. And um, apparently he was a bit of a twat on set, yeah. And so they just cut him at the film and said, Right, we don't want you no more. We're gonna kill you off. He went all right. No one's seen him since. And then you got vermin, John. Something about vermin, you know it reminds me of. Is that a film staring Cameron Diaz? Actually, there might be a Gauss Beer Picture trial over that next week.

SPEAKER_03 19:44

No problem. You know what it reminds me of, John.

SPEAKER_02 19:46

Yeah, a young Eric Bristol. He does, yeah. Oh no, but he was funny. He was he was the comedy of the Warriors, and he was called Vermin, and apparently between him and Cleon, they are the ones who who created the Warriors, yeah. In in the book, anyway. Oh because there is a book, Neil. Oh, is that there is a book, yeah. So yeah, so out of all them, Neil, who was your favourite warrior?

SPEAKER_03 20:10

Oh, it's gotta be what he swan eyes. Do you think? I like I liked Swan. Yeah, Swan was cool. You know, he he's a miserable bastard. Yeah, yeah. I I don't think he smiled once. Yeah, he could have fucking shagged there on the tracks, wouldn't he?

SPEAKER_02 20:22

Small even then. Then again, I reckon she needed a good bath. I did. Do you know what I mean? I did so but all the orphans went through her. Oh fuck see, the leader of the orphans. No, his always was fucking he had football eyes, one was on when one was away. Fucking always have made fucking uh bald eggs. I'm sure they'd go through that machine when they do the lottery. No, no, I've never won a beer.

SPEAKER_03 20:47

Honestly, John, the the orphans. I mean, it was the actual orphans because there was scruffy this fucking filthy.

SPEAKER_02 20:55

There must have been. Here you go. Here's a Molotov cocktail. More fiber was Ajax Neil. Oh wow, I Ajax fucking love that character, and he's still in movies now. He is, yeah. And he he was literally in the new um Welcome to Derry um the it um series on uh on a Paramount, I think it was. He was in that, he was the he was the uh the sergeant. So yeah, Ajax for me was the best, he was the coolest, and he didn't give a shit. And obviously, all he wanted to do was get laid and have a punch up.

SPEAKER_03 21:32

Yeah, he did.

SPEAKER_02 21:33

A bit like a lot of people knew them Warsaw back in the day.

SPEAKER_03 21:35

Do you know what I mean? When he's getting charged by the uh baseball furies, John.

SPEAKER_02 21:40

Well, lot side yeah, the baseball furies. I mean, to me, right, they are the best gang.

SPEAKER_03 21:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 21:47

They are the best gang.

SPEAKER_03 21:48

If you were down Pleck Park, right, yeah, jogging right, and you see fucking ten blogs running at you dressed as baseball players with all the pace faces painted, they've all got baseball bats. Yeah. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_02 22:00

But the I do know but the playing crickets. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 22:02

Yeah, yeah. But the uh when the music in it when the when the chase and through the bark, it's just like you said it's intense, he's done it in 79. This film was people.

SPEAKER_02 22:10

That that music is very, very kind of like electric synth, isn't it? Perfect. It is, and do you know what the song's called? No. The song is called The Baseball Fury's Chase. Yeah, that's as simple as that.

SPEAKER_03 22:22

That's what it's an i'd answer more question. Have you?

SPEAKER_02 22:24

What was your question? Sorry.

SPEAKER_03 22:25

Song that comes on.

SPEAKER_02 22:26

Um, I don't think I'm I'll be in your quiz. It's uh yeah. There's your boy. It's uh nowhere to run. There he goes, aye, nowhere to run to, baby. Nowhere to hide.

SPEAKER_03 22:41

I don't know who it's where I go and the things I see. Every step I make is off people, and he yeah, it's by Marfra and the Vandelas. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And they were Robin Two John. It was years ago, man. Oh they're gonna do logical records. Popped all the way to Belston. They're dancing in the street.

SPEAKER_02 23:01

Nice.

SPEAKER_03 23:05

Thank you.

SPEAKER_02 23:06

So anyway, so the the um the villains of the film, the villains of the film are the rogues. Yeah, right. The lead the leader of the rogue. He was gonna send me a message today, Neil, but I didn't have time to read it. Yeah, so we never got to that point. But Luther, yeah. Luther was the uh was the leader of the why why did he shoot Cyrus Neil? Um come on, why did he shoot him? Do you know?

SPEAKER_03 23:29

I don't know why he shot him. He's just a fucking knock guys on her.

SPEAKER_02 23:33

Neil, there's there's a reason why he shot him, and I thought you would have known this.

SPEAKER_03 23:37

Don't put me under pressure, John. Sorry. He shot him because he wanted he wanted uh to be the main one. No. Um that he was gonna.

SPEAKER_02 23:46

So I'll just tell you. Go on, Luther, the leader of the rogue, shot Saurus because he just likes doing things like that. Yeah, that's what he shot him because he was a he was fucking doolally. He was doolally tap, Neil. That's what he was.

SPEAKER_03 24:01

He was, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 24:01

He was doolally tap. I'm sure that was Sean Pennarddy. I'm sure he was in RoboCop though, Neil. Robo Cop 2. I think he was. He's been in a few things, eh? But he's got a very distinctive voice. I mean, if you had some bottles now, you could actually uh do the old um come out to play.

SPEAKER_03 24:21

You know, he made that up himself, John.

SPEAKER_02 24:23

It did, yeah, apparently, yeah. It's uh it was totally, totally improvised.

SPEAKER_03 24:27

Yeah, it was, yeah, because he it his mate did it to him before, and it there's the the needed summer to entice the worries in that scene, and he thought to himself, get the bottles, and he started doing it. He's going, do that again, and that's how it goes.

SPEAKER_02 24:40

Again, iconic. It is, it's iconic. It's iconic, Neil, even though he goes out over the top. It looks like he's straining for his shit at one stage. He might have done that on the bog. Imagine him on the tour of the dog brilliant, but yeah, Neil, what what a gr what a great villain, you know what I mean? Do you know what I mean? But yes, uh Neil the Warriors back in the day when I first watched that, I was blown away by it. Yeah, and you know what, it still stands the test of time, it does, in my opinion. It really does. The music, the feel of it, and when Dove Gate, it's got some kind of cheesy, kind of comical elements through it. Yeah, the fight scenes are not the best, let's be honest. It's it's not like watching um uh some of the fight scenes you see these days, yeah. But it's it's more real, you know. You can see that you know, you can see that that's how a fight would probably go down.

SPEAKER_03 25:44

But you'll remember, John, it was 1979. Well, how what's that going on? I'm just saying you couldn't.

SPEAKER_02 25:52

Yeah, but they could have still done a better fight scene, especially with the baseball furies.

SPEAKER_03 25:55

What John the Saints got the Saints took over that. Well, this is very true. How about you bend over to the baseball strap your ass and turn into a popsicle?

SPEAKER_02 26:04

A popsicle for uh British uh listeners is is an ice lol, an ice low lollipop lollipop kind of thing. So so yeah, it's like the the fight scenes could have been a lot better choreographed, you know, in in my opinion, but they were still iconic nonetheless, yeah. Nonetheless. And I've got some trivia for you, yeah. Got some trivia for you on the Warriors, Neil. And uh, do you know what you've already mentioned some of them, you toss pot. Um, anyway, so trivia. Do you know Vermin was talking about the one he said looked like Eddie Bristow, yeah, which again I thought was a great character because he it brought it brings that kind of comedy element, and he was but he was kind of a brawler, apparently, in the books. Yeah, he was a bit of a yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, you can he could um he could look after himself. Yeah, so Vermin it was originally he was going to be killed by the Lizzie's, yeah. Yeah, well then there was not lesbians, was it the Lizzie's? No. Well, I don't well the most two game off on the show. I mean the name itself, the Lizzie sounded like a bit of a lesbian now, and the wore comfortable shoes, yeah, yeah. So um another little bit of trivia for you, Neil. The the film trucks, now all these movies they have big trucks now, they put all the cameras in and all the wires and all this, that and the other, they had to be protected by a real gang called the Mongrels. Yeah, those called the Mongols, and they paid him five hundred dollars per day to to guard the film trucks from other gangs trying to rob them. I know, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 27:31

Marry with them, John.

SPEAKER_02 27:32

Don't know. In in the fight scene between Swan and the uh the baseball furies when they're having that little scuffle with the baseball mats, yeah. And Swan kicks him in the ribs, yeah, and he flies back. He broke three of his ribs, to be sad.

SPEAKER_03 27:47

Yeah, he did, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 27:48

He broke three of his ribs.

SPEAKER_03 27:49

I do say them wings are very fucking dangerous.

SPEAKER_02 27:52

Not Swan's ribs, neither.

SPEAKER_03 27:54

Oh no, what about the wings? The baseball furies. I know, John. You know what Swan can break your fucking arm with his wing.

SPEAKER_02 28:02

You know that. Well, I do now. That's a fact. I do, I do now, and um obviously they filmed a lot of the scenes within the Bronx, apparently. I'm not too that I might I might have said that wrong, but who cares? Um, one of the crew was got pissed on from one of the tower blocks while he was doing while he was filming. Yeah, yeah, he did, yeah. And uh another little trivia for you, Neil, the Warriors sign, what was painted? It was painted over a real gang tag. Now, the gang itself, the one in question who the Warriors sign got painted over, they were so pissed that the the the film the film people the the producer and all that had to pay them to be in the film to say listen, sorry about that kind of thing. So that that was actually in the film, and more than likely, that was in uh the meeting in the in in the park for uh Cyrus Cyrus's speech. Yeah, so yeah, so there you go, kid.

SPEAKER_03 28:55

Have some of bloody that tell you what, whoever I watch this film, watch the fucker. It is it's fantastic. It's it's a great film. It is a great film, it is a great class. That's what to me, it's a classic.

SPEAKER_02 29:08

It is a classic, it's up, it's up there with in my top ten films of all time. So out of out of 10 now, what would you give the Warriors on a flick the screen writing?

SPEAKER_03 29:17

You know, I love the Warriors, John. Yeah, I had t shirts and everything.

SPEAKER_02 29:20

Did you have a leather wise count?

SPEAKER_03 29:22

I had a leather wise coat, yeah. Um, we used to have an ed band in as well.

SPEAKER_02 29:26

You've got you've got a baseball furies um canvas somewhere, I don't know where it is.

SPEAKER_03 29:30

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 29:30

Um it's in your house now. It's in the house. It's in the house. It's yeah, above my bed dirty. What are you sticking up your ass and make into a popsicle? That's what I want to know. That's what we all want to know.

SPEAKER_03 29:44

Sure, fix my um what what writing would I give you? Yeah. Um you know I always give good scores, don't you? Yeah, but this is like one of my favourite all time. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 29:58

So it's a strong nine, John. Strong nine, yeah. Um, I would probably give it on the flip screen writing, I would give it uh 8.8, which is uh to me, it's an excellent score. Yeah, an excellent score, Neil. But a movie, right, at the same time came out as the uh as the same time as the Warriors, and it was very, very similar. Yeah, it was very similar, Neil. And uh any ideas what it was called?

SPEAKER_03 30:27

Time as the Warriors, uh same kind of film as The Warriors.

SPEAKER_02 30:32

I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 30:34

You don't know, Neil. It was obviously the The Wanderers, um stuff like that. That was a time travel film, like The Wanderers.

SPEAKER_02 30:45

The Wanderers came out in 1979. Yeah, the Warriors came out in 1979, yeah. So you have hit the nail on the head there. Now, our good friend, who is a massive movie goer, not only does he exercise demons and um catch ghosts and spirits and ghouls, and travels the country to the most haunted locations to save people from being possessed, Neil. Yeah, he also likes to sit down with a cup of tea and some Yorkshire biscuits and watch a good movie. You know, when you say that he exercised the demons, you mean that he gets him on the treadmill and then probably so it's our it's our good friend, our grumpy old bastard, the Yorkshire Exorcist, the real Yorkshire Exorcist, Seth Constantine and he sent me a little movie rant.

unknown 31:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 31:35

Not just for the fact that you could still buy a house for the price of a second hand fog called Tina, but for straight gang cinema. You've got the Warriors and you've got the Wanderers. Both came out the same year, both about lads in matching jackets looking for trouble, but they're as different as a prime ribeye and a tin of cold hot dogs. One's a favor dream, and the other is a trip down a very good memory lane. No, the warriors. That is not a film. It's a manual and how to get home when the last bus has been cancelled and everybody in the city wants to kick it in. It's like a comic book, but not to life. You've got gangs just as minds, gangs on the wall escapes, on the baseball stories, when walks, in face paint, I'm picturing. If lost all of them in the middle of Ottersfield, I wouldn't be scared. I'd ask them if they were lost on the way to a fronty desk party. I just want to get back to Courley Island. I'm a nice like that. Trying to get from late city centre back to Jonesby after the centre stops. Didn't guns of lads over too much longer and think of this way. It's stylised, it's moody, and that's stylus fella at the start. Can you dig it? Brilliant. Well, if we didn't have that speech in a working men's club, someone would have shown to sit down in your bird, which had to play a bingo. Then you've got the wanderers. This one, it's a bit closer to home. It's set in the early 60s, and it's more about the camaraderie and the fact that your life's generally a bit rubbish. But you've got your mates. The boldies. No, they are terrifying. Not because of supernatural flowers, but because they're just big angry blokes with no error and a grudge against the world. I've met a few boldies in my time. Usually bounces at your local disco and don't like the look of your tie. You've got the donkey buldies. They're the real nightmare. They don't jump, they don't post. They're just a fear that just fog like a bad woman. They're a member of the spirit's gonna deal with the climate ones and always the most troublesome. It's got that soundtrack, run around too and look like. It makes you nostalgic for the time when getting love for the settled and given a football of a screen in the middle of it. Rather than what's gonna have a nonsense to do on the internet these ages. If you look in me, which is better, the body is filled a thrill, and the wonder is filled through. But if the bodies had just stayed on the chilling kit, the lids down there'd been only 40 minutes, but then we wouldn't have had a film, would we? Just remember, if you've never been chased by the gang in a bit, more kit, don't run. Just open your umbrella and look 'em in the eye. You hate it when you aren't impressed by their outfits.

SPEAKER_02 34:41

So I think I think Neil, I think Seth's a fan. I do as well.

SPEAKER_03 34:45

Of both films, yeah. I really do. That's a very good uh a good summary and no synopsis of it won't sound negative, you know what I mean.

SPEAKER_02 34:55

Which make which makes a change for ourselves. It does. So the wondrous Neil, the Wonders also came out in 1979, but it was set out in 1963 in Gangland, the Bronx. Now, the difference between the movies are kind of one's very colourful, one's kind of set around a rock and roll soundtrack, which is the wanderers, and there's a couple of gangs in there. You got the wanderers, you've got the Ducky Boys, what Seth was saying, you got the Wongs, yeah, which was like all Bruce Lee took kind of Chinese, no one fucking the Wongs, you've got the Del Bombers, which is the Black Crew, and then you got the Ford and Baldies who love pizza, by the way, and love joining the Marines. So, yeah, a little fact for you, Neil. Yeah, right. One of the gangs, the um, I think it was the Ford and Baldi, was an actual gang. Sorry, the Ducky Boys, sorry, the Ducky Boys, I've even got an arrow there. The Ducky Boys were an actual gang, yeah, and in the book by Richard Price, that was called Killers. That's what that was called. Yeah, and a neat little fact about the wondrous now. Did you know Bob Dylan was in the film? Really? Yeah, at the end of the film, when um one of the main characters walking past a bar, he appears in, and there's someone singing, Times are changing, the Bob Dylan song. Well, that is actually Bob Dylan, yeah, yeah. Bob Dylan then.

SPEAKER_03 36:12

Oh no, that fact about the orphans show, yeah. The killers and all that, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 36:16

The orphans, the ducky boys.

SPEAKER_03 36:17

The ducky boys with the killers, those recall the killers. I know I know that. I know, but yeah, I think we might do a little uh you know that go on then.

SPEAKER_02 36:24

Somebody tell me is that a killer song by the show if you'd have sung it, I would have somebody told me you had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend. That one I've never understood that line.

SPEAKER_03 36:37

I know, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 36:38

Somebody told me you had a boyfriend that looked like a girlfriend. Yeah, next half sense anyway, Neil.

SPEAKER_03 36:43

So the wanderers, I think we might do a little section, yeah, and another properly on the wanderers in another episode. What I was on about what song starts at the wanderers that get you hooked straight away.

SPEAKER_02 36:56

It does, Neil, and um I do now because I've done a video last week. The intro to The Wanderers, yeah. It is um Walk Like a Man by um Frankie Valley and the Four Seasons. Brilliant fan bloody tastic. And did you know they look like dicks with ears? Anyway, Neil, I've got a quiz for you. Yeah, a quick for you. Um this is on the Warriors people. So if anybody's watching now and you're still watching, I'm down awkward, I might look stupid. Come on now. Um you can play along if you want. You can play along. So get your pens and papers ready, people. I've got five questions on the warriors. Question one, Neil. How many warriors make it back to Coney Island? Um was that Morse code?

SPEAKER_03 37:41

Yeah. Um incorrect. Two got killed now.

SPEAKER_02 37:49

SPEAKER_03 38:24

And do you know when it came out in the charge? It was actually in prison. Really? Yeah, snow was in prison when he came out. But it's not the snow from the Warriors. Um question two. Cyrus is the leader of what gang?

I like doing things like that.

SPEAKER_02 40:14

That is correct, Neil. And that wraps up the Warriors again, Neil. Just give us a while, I just get my phone ready. Yeah. What the Warriors meant to you when you first watched it as a young ginger kid.

SPEAKER_03 40:28

Well, very yeah, I was. Um it was um I probably watched it in the 80s, John, when I was still a kid. Yeah, I don't watch it in 1979 because I was still in my rusks and shit in my pants, but I was still doing that in the 90s and the nauseas, yeah. But uh as soon as I've seen it, John, I've I absolutely love the film, John. And it it's it's living for it's lived with me till this day, yeah. Because I remember, I don't know if it's gotta have been fucking you fetching it from the video shop and uh putting it in the top louder, putting in the putting it down with your foot, pressing play with your big foot, buttons that big. Yeah, and where's the control? Oh, it's on a wire.

SPEAKER_02 41:15
