We Recommend: A Movie Podcast

Unstoppable (2010)

Jesse and Jason Episode 80

Send us some fan mail!

What happens when you mix Denzel Washington, Chris Pine, and a runaway train? We're going full throttle into Tony Scott's action-packed film "Unstoppable," and trust us, this ride is worth every hairpin turn. Ever wondered if a train could be the next big action movie monster? We humorously explore how Scott uses clever filmmaking techniques to make it just that, complete with animal sound effects to give the train a personality all its own. Plus, you might be surprised by Rosario Dawson's unexpected enthusiasm for trains—a passion that parallels the gripping urgency of the film's plot.

But that's not all! Get ready for some laugh-out-loud moments as we reminisce about Chris Pine's memorable shirtless scene and delve into the high-stakes drama of a train loaded with toxic materials. With nods to films like "Speed," we're unpacking how "Unstoppable" masterfully blends humor with intense action. And who knew train evacuations could be so fascinating—or so hilariously bungled? Our discussion even veers into whimsical conspiracy theories and daring solutions like parachutes for runaway trains.

As we dissect the film's portrayal of corporate decisions and heroism, Frank's retirement takes a back seat to stopping chaos on the tracks. From daring rescues to an intense showdown, the climax is as exhilarating as it is satisfying. Whether you're a fan of action-packed narratives or just curious about the unstoppable nature of trains, this episode promises an entertaining journey through Tony Scott's underappreciated gem. Tune in for some light-hearted banter, thrilling insights, and a celebration of this compelling movie that deserves another look.

Speaker 1:

Hello and welcome to the we Recommend podcast, a movie podcast where every week, we recommend a movie for you to watch and then come back here and listen to us discuss. I'm Jesse, I'm Jason, it just got away from me, it got away from you. It's a train dewey, not a chipmunk, because this week we recommend Unstoppable, unstoppable. So this is Unstoppable. It came out in 2010. Yes, it is our boy Tony Scott's last movie. Do you know anything about Tony Scott?

Speaker 2:

No, did he do Training Day that?

Speaker 1:

would be funny. No, but he should have done Training Day. I've actually never seen Training Day, so he did the first Top Gun. This is the man that created Top Gun Much better movie yeah.

Speaker 2:

What.

Speaker 1:

Oh no, this movie rules Jason.

Speaker 2:

It's like a blue collar wet dream. Yeah, it's great.

Speaker 1:

Little Top Gun is like a secret gay lover airplane movie. This is like two men falling in love on a train. You have two men falling in love in the air, in a plane. The man knows how to make two men fall in love in different transportations.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, there's no high fives at all.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, well, they do. Puts his fist in the air at the end. He also did True Romance man on Fire, deja Vu, oh, that was good, crimson Tide. He loves Denzel Spy Game Enemy of the State. He really does love Denzel Domino, like the guy crushes. Oh, the Last Boy Scout. Have you ever seen that Long ass time ago? And then he did Beverly Hills Cop. So you know just someone that good yeah the guy is a good director and he this was his final film and it's really good. What?

Speaker 2:

do you want to do for your last film, tony Trains, trains, I like trains.

Speaker 1:

I like trains, but so this movie had a budget of a hundred billion a hundred million dollars and it made one hundred and six seven worldwide, so it was a hit. It's not one of those like I mean nobody talks about it, but everybody loves it. I'd never heard of it. When I talked to it I was like, hey, have you seen? Unstoppable. It's like what's that? And I was like it's the one Denzel, chris Pine, they're on a train. It's Unstoppable. Like oh yeah, I, everybody knows it and everybody likes it. I mean it's definitely.

Speaker 2:

It's such a fun movie for me I guess because it's like speed but train, yeah, yeah right. It's got some very silly moments to me name one name one now the whole beginning.

Speaker 1:

But the thing is is based on a true story, like so the whole beginning on how it started, you know, like the guy getting out of the train and stuff. That was real, except in real life it wasn't going as fast. It was going like 25 to 40 miles an hour or something like that, and they were able to, like, attach another train to it and slow it down to 11 miles per hour and then they're able to get on.

Speaker 1:

But this is actually a real story, just quite, as you know, dramatic, but it was, it was I think it was carrying the same type of chemicals as this train was in the movie, so it wasn't like a super. The only difference is, like a lot of the other train, cars were empty, so it wasn't as like heavy to stop, I guess. So that's really kind of that wasn't like a chrysler building on wheels.

Speaker 1:

It's a missile heading strip for the size of a chrysler building. Oh god, that's so good, uh, but I just like. I love the filmmaking in this, though, because you know trains don't look like they go fast. You know, just visually, if you film the train it wouldn't look like it's going fast. But tony scott, he used like 12 cameras at a time, every shot, just because they're constantly flying around and went to each one all the time. I know it was great.

Speaker 1:

It's because you have to like make this train feel like it's a speeding bullet.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, out of control.

Speaker 1:

And so they're constantly having things pass in front of the camera to make it seem like it's going faster and going the opposite direction. So it really looks like it yeah, a lot of moving shots, yeah, looks like a lot of moving shots, yeah, and then, like slowly, they're building up that way. This isn't a train, this is a fucking monster.

Speaker 2:

It's like after it.

Speaker 1:

I wish it did have a monster face on the front of it, funny thing is they added animal noises to some of the train sounds, so it sounds more of like a living creature and more of a roar, which is, I mean it's every time it cuts to it and it's like a front shot of the train. It's like it's like it's like this. This monster became Godzilla like halfway. This train became Godzilla halfway through.

Speaker 2:

I would watch that movie in a heartbeat.

Speaker 1:

It's like it. It just transforms into Godzilla. Godzilla train actually, you know it's funny. If you watch Shin Godzilla it's kind of similar to this movie. There's just people in rooms like how are we going to fix this?

Speaker 2:

we can't stop him. He's walking too fast. Yeah, well, no, it's just like they can't destroy so why didn't they do the thing they did at the end, in the very beginning?

Speaker 1:

uh, they just didn't think it was going to be like well, so they didn't know that they could grapple onto it, because no one, I guess, saw like the back of the train and it it's like so dangerous, I guess, and I guess they just had better plans, like sending the guy in the helicopter down onto it, which seemed like a good plan. Yeah, I mean is this, you know, hit the bump at the wrong time and then they just don't have enough tracks. It's like there's so much train tracks in this, but it's like there's just never enough to, you know, because they wanted to get it off of the rail and that's what ends up crushing him yes.

Speaker 1:

Whatever that guy's name, I can't remember. I got it in my notes though, but also I just, I mean Denzel, dude, you love Denzel, I like.

Speaker 2:

Denzel Denzel's great. He's pretty good. I like in this movie how he's whenever we find out that he's right about something that he knew about, he's kind of funny with it. Yeah, he's like I was 28 years in the railroad system.

Speaker 1:

I know what I'm talking about. I know trains. There's just something about Denzel that makes me so happy. When he starts smiling and laughing, I'm always like I just immediately start smiling and laughing. Oh good, if Denzel smiling and laughing, I'm always like I just immediately start smiling and laughing like oh good, this is like.

Speaker 2:

Oh hell yeah, if Denzel's having fun, then that means I can have fun. Chris Pine although in Training Day he's so off-putting.

Speaker 1:

I've never watched the whole thing. He's a scary person in that movie. I know he's and when he smiles in that one, you're like oh no, me and Natalie are planning on watching that soon, so I can't wait to do it. What did you think about Chris Pine in this? He's fine he's fine.

Speaker 2:

I really like Chris Pine in Star.

Speaker 1:

Trek yeah, he's great. I think that's what that really boosted him up. He's so funny in that, yeah, charming. And this one I think he's and super duper strong somehow. Yeah, I don't understand. I mean, have you seen his muscles? Oh, star Trek Beyond. They're like take your shirt off, boy, because they did. That was literally. They're like well, since we showed like a girl changing in the second one, we're going to make Chris Pine take off his shirt in the third one, so they can't say we're sexist or the the, the alien girl that's hiding in his room oh no, it was like the blonde girl in the second one.

Speaker 1:

Oh okay, yeah, he just like walks in on her. She's changing. It's like why is this in here? This was strictly just to have a half-naked woman on screen. Yes, um, rosario dawson. Great, apparently she's super into trains and every time she goes somewhere she takes a train. So, just so that she could, she tries to take a train that she's never taken before, something I never thought I would know about Rosario Dawson.

Speaker 2:

But she plays Connie. She's great.

Speaker 1:

Then you got Ethan Supley as Dewey. Oh man he plays the best.

Speaker 2:

He's always like the big dumb fat guy.

Speaker 1:

What is it? Boy Meets World. Yes, Isn't that the? What I remember him most from always is the butterfly diaries or the butterfly effect, not diaries.

Speaker 2:

I was thinking of vampire diaries.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and I don't. I don't even really know that movie Is this. When I watched it once, I just remember him being like a golf boy and I'm like what, Even something.

Speaker 2:

Or my name is Earl yes, a goth boy, and I'm like what?

Speaker 1:

even something? Or my name is earl. Yes, he's so good and my name is earl. Oh, love him. Oh man, then you got a surprise. Tj miller, I forgot he was in this. Honestly, he's gliss. It's my name and, uh, my secret favorite character is, uh, inspector werner yeah, werner, the guy with guy with the mutton chops, yeah. Yeah, he just kind of is like, hey, I'm here for a train thing, and then he's like oh well, you're in luck because we got a huge train situation here. I'm glad you're here. Actually it's so good.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, he was so intense. They make train people so intense.

Speaker 1:

Yeah Well, this is the time when train people have to be intense.

Speaker 2:

This is the best day of their life.

Speaker 1:

This is the worst case scenario and you want your best train men on it. No, I mean, I just think that I know this movie is kind of be a little silly and it might just be kind of like a stupid like action movie that I like.

Speaker 2:

I still liked it even though it was silly, is this?

Speaker 1:

like so well paced, it's not overly long. You kind of get into like oh, you meet your characters. They don't like each other. Now they're in a train. Oh, by the way, there's an unstoppable train. There's a runaway train and it's like all right, we're in it from inside the trailer.

Speaker 2:

What about? What did you think about Denzel's daughters? Oh, working at Hooters. Yeah, I thought that was pretty funny. Funny that when he said it, of course, but then they kept going back to the Hooters. Yeah, and it's like everybody's watching it. Yeah, it's like everybody's watching it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and it's like hey, you know, I mean everybody's. This is like Philadelphia's biggest news story today. Everybody's going to watch it. Like, turn off the fucking game. There's a missile the size of the Chrysler building coming up here. Something funny in it I do feel like is that Philadelphia might be terrible at evacuating cities. Yeah, because people are constantly right next to the tracks through the entire movie evacuating cities.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, because people are constantly right next to the tracks of the entire movie and they're like in the path of destruction.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and it's like yo y'all gotta get these people out of here.

Speaker 2:

Even Chris Pine's like uh, wife and son, they're just like next to the curve that if it were to derail they would all be vaporized. It's like what the heck?

Speaker 1:

Let's go to there. Yeah, and look at it. Yeah, it's wild. I was like you guys, like tops, get everybody off these damn roads. Man, we got to go.

Speaker 2:

Get away from the big bullet train. What the hell.

Speaker 1:

But it is something. This is one of those things about something else. Well, go ahead, oh well.

Speaker 2:

I was watching. Well, I was watching. I was like this could this be the alternate dimension of the Adams family? When he wrecks the trains? Oh yeah, this is what's happening in his train town.

Speaker 1:

It's like if you, if a camera, just shrunk in into it and then all of a sudden it becomes. This is what it is.

Speaker 2:

Well, it does, because it shows that one guy, but like the other train, is the one that, like I'm talking about, it's like we can't slow it down because of this. No, it's because Gomez Adams wants you to die.

Speaker 1:

Wow, we just interesting conspiracy theory here oh my gosh, read it, look into it something. This is one of those movies where it's like it shows the process of something right, like them going to pick up train cars seeing denzel and they're like toggling switches and stuff, and I love movies that shows me like how things work while we're also watching it and then they're also explaining how it's working.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they're doing it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's like okay, cool and that's why you get like you know, like the young guy in there, so it's like, oh, I can explain, he's just trained, so now there's a reason we can give this dialogue. But I just love seeing people like you know, like him, maneuvering everything like the switches, and it's like I've never thought about how trains work. Yeah, I just thought they just pressed a button and it went.

Speaker 2:

It's kind of satisfying.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and just like seeing, like the juxtaposition of like the train going fast and then just seeing them, just like do, do, do, do, do, pick up some cars, and it's like Tell me about your whole life. Yeah, and just you know all the, all the shots of, just like you know, the trains going into the stations and like picking up cars. They're just I don't know, they're really beautifully shot, but it's also just things I never think about and always I like movies that make me think about.

Speaker 2:

Gives you some insight into why people love trains so much yeah.

Speaker 1:

It made me like trains a little bit and scared of them at the same time, because they can't stop, dang it, even if they're going like 11 miles an hour, it's like we're not gonna be able to stop in time and we're gonna have to back up the train and this is gonna cause like another hour of work and it's like, dude, trains are crazy. Trains are crazy. They just don't stop and they take forever to go, but also you can't stop them. So what is this?

Speaker 2:

they should put on the wheels on them they're like parachutes, yeah, the fast cars use. Yeah, slow down when they drag.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, just like a bunch of parachutes, Like we have to stop this thing and it just flies up in the air and explodes. Also, something really cool about this movie was the truck on the train tracks, like the railway truck that, like Dewey and Gilles are in. Yeah, yeah, never thought about that and that seems really cool and I'd like to drive a truck on a train track.

Speaker 2:

I know, it seems really. It seems like a cool place because you could go real fast and nothing's ever going to be in your way.

Speaker 1:

It's like you can't turn off, you're just driving, even though they did have a wheel. So I'm like I guess you can unattach and then just drive it along.

Speaker 2:

But no, because the wheels will not drive on the road yeah, well but it still had wheels on it.

Speaker 1:

So I'm assuming you could like detach it from, maybe like the rail thing, I don't know, man, but it was cool.

Speaker 2:

Is this something that you know?

Speaker 1:

like you, never really think about you, know you're. I was upset that they didn't have the old timey, like crank thing yeah, like that would have been really funny if dewey couldn't catch up to that train. He's not gonna be able to do it that way. That poor guy though, like damn, you know, it's just whenever we're in our factory and we have our safety training, it's like Dewey should have been there for his train safety training.

Speaker 1:

It sucks that he probably called out that day All right, just a few little facts. There's not a lot. So, like I said earlier, the film is inspired by the Crazy 8's unmanned train incident in 2001. The train, led by CSX Transportation bunch of numbers, left its Walbridge Ohio rail yard and began a 66-mile journey through northwest Ohio with no one at the controls. After the engineer got out of the original slow-moving train to correctly line a switch, mistakenly believing he had properly set the train's dynamic braking system, just as his counterpart in the movie did, two of the real train's tank cars also contained thousands of gallons of molten phenol I don't know how to say it Similar to the fictional train in the film. Yeah, so it was a real thing.

Speaker 2:

How do?

Speaker 1:

you spell that Phenol. Yeah, phenol, p-h-e-n-o-l.

Speaker 2:

Phenol, phenol, we can't say words, sometimes Explosion stuff.

Speaker 1:

Especially me. Yeah Well, apparently it's not like it won't explode, but it's like very toxic fumes and stuff like that. Yeah, trains love carrying toxic shit around.

Speaker 1:

And it's used for dyes and adhesives. So Gross, apparently so. Chris Pine performed all his own stunts. Denzel Washington had like seven stuntmen one for each day of the live shots on running trains, according to Tony Scott, in addition to insurance concerns, denzel got a fear of heights, apparently, and had him up at 25 feet on a 50 mile per hour train, which was no easy task. When Washington is on top of the tanker car, that's really him no CGI. Oh fuck, there really isn't a lot of CGI in this. Washington is on top of the tanker car. That's really him. No CGI. Oh fuck, there really isn't a lot of CGI in this. Yeah, I didn't really like you don't notice it. It just seemed like they actually I mean 100 million dollars in 2010. I think they're just ramming trains into things. Man, what a fun day. I know, god, this I mean. What a great, what a great movie to be on set up for. You know, it's like, oh, we're gonna shoot at a train with some bullets okay, cool, let's try that.

Speaker 1:

I think that was actually something that.

Speaker 2:

No, that wasn't real, that was just kind of something they added for the movie yeah, they should have used like the beanbag guns, yeah, not bullets, yeah, and especially since they're bigger and might have a better chance of hitting.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, chance of hitting, it might have been better. It was pretty funny because as soon as they started shooting, the captain was like fuck, wait, there's gas. Why would they put this right over the gas tank? So one of the fun things.

Speaker 1:

So how do you think they controlled the train in this movie? I don't know, ox, they used it like a remote control car. Oh cool, they just remote controlled it. So it's the same way as they do. I don't know, ox, they used it like a remote control car. Oh cool, they just remote controlled it. So it's the same way as they do toy cars. They just did it for a giant train, big RC train. It's really cool, I want an RC train. So, and just our last little one, there wasn't a lot of like super interesting facts, but 20th Century Fox executives asked Denzel Washington to shave $4 million from a standard fee of $20 million, denzel making that bank. They also asked Tony Scott to cut $3 million from his usual $9 million fee, citing frustrations with a lack of a start date. Washington withdrew from the film, so he technically wasn't going to be in it, but then they gave him a bunch of like they gave him a train, they gave him like a enticement package and apparently they revised the script and then Denzel was like, okay, I'm on.

Speaker 2:

Do you know that Patrick Swayze is really into trains Really? Oh, he was.

Speaker 1:

Man too bad Rosario.

Speaker 2:

Dustin and Patrick Swayze didn't get together.

Speaker 1:

What if they met on a train? It'd be love.

Speaker 2:

There's an episode of Trailer Park Boys where they steal Patrick Swayze's train and they use it to smuggle cigarettes into America.

Speaker 1:

Wait, did Patrick Swayze have his own train?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, like he had a toy train. Oh, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha they used this toy train, and then they loaded it down with bootleg cigarettes.

Speaker 1:

What.

Speaker 2:

Yes, it's so funny.

Speaker 1:

Never watched Trailer Park Boys. Yes, it's so funny. Never watched trailer park boys. It's, it's ridiculous. It seems like super low budget. I've maybe watched one episode and I was like I don't get it. Uh, it's really young if I watched it, though I liked it. I need to try it out.

Speaker 2:

It's like letter kenny.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, dumber.

Speaker 2:

Another thing I haven't watched it's another show that people constantly talk about. Yeah, completely worth it is that the one?

Speaker 1:

no, that's not the one where there are football players, is it? There's hockey players? A couple of them are oh, I'm thinking of Blue Mountain State or something like that. Yeah, I never watched that one, me neither.

Speaker 2:

I watched one episode where they had their. They made the new players pick up Oreos with their butt cheeks. Oh, classic. And then one of the guys ate the Oreo Hell yeah.

Speaker 1:

It's like you can't tell if there's any poop on it because they're already dark, unless there's a little bit on the cream part. Well, now that everybody's turned off the podcast, we should probably let's call it. Let's go up into the plot. All right, let's hop into the plot. Man. So Unstoppable 2010,. Directed by Tony Scott. The movie opens with a bunch of really jittery shots of trains. It makes you feel like, uh-oh, what am I about to watch? Trains are dangerous. Is the whole movie going to be crazily shot like this?

Speaker 2:

Yes, spoiler alert it is, but it works.

Speaker 1:

We cut to Chris Pine on a quiet morning, waking up in the living room of his brother's house. He's wearing tighty whities and his like brother's kids are just walking around. It's like hey, put some fucking pants on, dude. He goes to watch his kid go to school. He's like watching inside the truck and looking in from the rearview mirror and he calls his wife when she goes back inside and family guys playing in the background.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I thought that was interesting.

Speaker 1:

I want to make a movie where, during all the very important parts because it's such a realistic thing though Like usually if you're doing something in your house, you got a TV show on and most likely if you're people of our age, you're watching, like Bosburgers, family Guy or something like silly cartoon or just some silly show, friends, the Office. So if there's ever an important, serious moment in your life, think about it. You might actually be having like the silliest dumbest show on in the background.

Speaker 1:

And so now I want to make a movie where anytime, like constantly, someone's having Family Guy playing in the background every house, and even if there's the most serious moment a death or anything or an argument he's got like Peter. Griffin in the background Doing his cutaways. I just think it'd be so funny. I was like oh, yeah, I wonder how many serious moments I had with Family Guy in the background.

Speaker 2:

But are they letting this kid watch Family Guy before he goes to school? I don't know when Family Guy's used to watch, I know. Like it shouldn't be so they've put on this dvd like here, son watch your morning, family guy I would my kids were like six years old yeah, it's, it is funny.

Speaker 1:

Let's see, we found the first.

Speaker 2:

We found the first problem with the movie family guy does not play at 8 am in the morning.

Speaker 1:

Hey, I'm not judging their parenting, I don't know if they it was on netflix, it might have judging their parenting stuff. I don't know. If it was on Netflix, it might have been streaming on Netflix, I don't know. All right. So then we're at the rail yard. We see Will, who's played by Chris Pine. He's looking for Frank Barnes, played by Denzel Washington. He gets a lot of angry stares from all the older workers. New kid Almost starts a fight. Will asks is there a problem? Uh the man, no problem. I just don't like working at a damn daycare center. Will, yeah, well, I don't like working at a retirement home. So it's like whoa, whoa, whoa, dang when we're like why are they so mean to this new guy?

Speaker 1:

we'll figure out a little later but it's just like I don't know man and well, well, actually we figure out almost immediately. So Will's family's name has some power, I guess in Stanton, and that's how he got his job, even though he's not qualified, because he has no experience at all. To be a conductor seems pretty crazy that, just straight out of training you're like now you're in charge of this train. It's like maybe we let him shadow train a little bit more, but I guess that's what he's kind of, that's what he's doing with, yeah, but I just feel like he should, he, he should start lower level, you know, and that's why they're mad. Yeah, that's why they're mad and they're taking all the jobs took my job, chris.

Speaker 1:

Pine took my job and then we cut a couple of bumbling idiots, dewey and Gil Gil Gilisi. I think they have to move a train. Dewey starts the train and tells Gilisi, gilisi, gil. Now I can't remember how they say it in the movie. We'll call him the Big G To not worry about the air brakes, because you know they make bad decisions. Frank tells Will that. Then we come back to Frank. Frank tells Will that he has only one rule. If you don't know what to do, then ask. It's his one rule. Frank has been railroading for 28 years. We hear that three to four more times in the movie. Will has never railroaded and is doing it because it's something different.

Speaker 2:

I feel like I'm being railroaded.

Speaker 1:

Jesse keeps making me watch these stupid action movies and railroading me. Will is prepping the train, but he gets a call from his brother. It's about a court date being moved up. Frank asking us everything is prepped. He seems to know what he's doing. Will does.

Speaker 2:

I must have completely missed this part, because I spent the whole movie wondering why there wasn't a guy in the train, in the fast train, what? Yeah, totally I guess.

Speaker 1:

You miss the Dewey falling over and everything. Yeah, I guess. So the whole time I watched this movie I want the guy in the train to stop it.

Speaker 2:

Well, that's what killed me, though. Whenever they do it at the end, I'm like why didn't they just do that in the beginning? Oh wow.

Speaker 1:

Well, maybe you should. You would probably like the movie a little bit more if you knew there wasn't a person in it.

Speaker 2:

Well, no, no, I knew there was. Eventually, like I kind of knew that there wasn't a guy in there, but that was like why wasn't there a guy in there? Yeah, well, and that's because.

Speaker 1:

I don't know, we'll do that right here. Dewey notices while moving 777, or 777, that one of the rail switches is set wrong. So dewey sets the independent brake, or independent to try and outrun a switch and switch the rails. So the independent is essentially um, the train goes by itself, you know, keep moving, apparently. But he had like the power set all the way up because he had like 30 cars on it so he needed a lot of power to go and I guess it was like an independent brake he had set on and so he thought it was like, oh, move slow, you can run out quickly, switch it and then run back on while it's going like five, ten miles an hour. But because he didn't have it set right, the switch, it doesn't lock the switch, I guess, and so it ends up moving. I don't know how, maybe there's a ghost, I don't know. Hell yeah, ghost train.

Speaker 2:

I hell yeah, ghost train I'm not a big.

Speaker 1:

I don't know trains, but I'm just trying to explain to the best I can fuck. Yeah, man, that was something Natalie asked, like I think this train's possessed is there a ghost on it?

Speaker 2:

oh yeah, that's like the second season of ghosts. There's a cartoon, an anime, where the train is a demon holy shit, demon hunter.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, oh, really oh sorry, spoiler spoiler damn yo, yo, I'll have to bleep that out, just kidding. So, um, but Dewey runs out, switches the line, tries to chase the train to get back train to get back on it, but it's too fast and he falls over and it's funny and it's like, uh oh, it's like dang, if only there was a faster guy doing the train.

Speaker 1:

Fucking Dewey. Maybe TJ Miller should have been the one on the train. So then we cut back to Frank and Will. They're like Will is doing this thing where he's turning the train on like this platform. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's really cool and it's something that I'm like I've never, I've never knew this existed and I never knew this was a, and it's cool that I get to see it.

Speaker 2:

It is kind of cool They've got all the, because if you ever watched Thomas the Train Engine, Thomas, the Tank, the Train. Engine. They all kind of hang out in their clubhouse, which is around one of these turntables.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, man, I just don't remember that much about Thomas.

Speaker 2:

I don't think I watch too much Thomas it sucks, does it?

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, I guess you've had to watch it as an adult.

Speaker 2:

As far as kids shows go, yeah, not great. I thought it would never be blue, I guess no, blue is the best thing that ever happened.

Speaker 1:

I thought about watching it as an adult, but then I felt like I like watching it. I would be on some sort of watch list, you know.

Speaker 2:

So it makes me feel like a bad father, yeah.

Speaker 1:

But I like so, um, frank uh remembers that it's one of his daughter's b-day. The daughter is mad at that. He may have forgotten her b-day. She doesn't want to talk to him classic daughter or mother or wife or something. Doesn't want to talk to you right before you're about to be the most dangerous situation of your life happens every time in these movies.

Speaker 1:

um, and apparently will messed up turning on the track, turning the track thing. He it backwards. I don't know train stuff. So Frank tells him if he didn't know something he should have asked, like he said. Will confronts him about the whole picking on the new guy and the young guy thing. Frank explains that the railroad is hiring yellow vests, which is the new people, to take older people's job. Will says it's not his intentions. But Frank says people don't see it that way. Yeah, but it's not his intentions. But Frank says people don't see it that way. Yeah, but again they're blaming the wrong person. Yes, you've got to blame the people in charge, something you should never take out any aggression on new people whenever they get hired in on a place.

Speaker 2:

Just be nice to them and show them how to do the damn job, but they're the easiest targets.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they really are. Oh, how about this? I'll tie you up to this train real quick. It's just something that we have to do at the beginning, tie you to the front of it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so we meet Connie, who is being updated about the coaster. Connie, how the hell did this happen, dewey? It just got away from me, connie, it got away from me. It's a train, dewey, not a chipmunk. So good, I had some dope lines in this movie, though I don't know. I'm already getting pumped up just thinking about the movie Trains might be so horny, especially a fast train.

Speaker 1:

You don't want a train to go a little fast. So apparently the train is going into opposing trains, like it's on the line, so trains are going to head straight into each other.

Speaker 1:

She tells them to get on the rail truck to catch it. Here's the thing. I didn't even think about it. Man, somebody makes a mistake on a railroad, like a track. Like they don't do the switch, they accidentally miss it. That's bad, fuck, you're fucked. So many people could die. Man, it's crazy. Luckily you're on it and you can stop it and hopefully reverse it in time. But man, I never realized I mean, everything's dangerous. But man, I never realized the consequences Messing one thing up in trains.

Speaker 2:

You see on the news, I think there was this past year a train collision in India or something Crazy. Hundreds of people died. It was awful Golly. And you think, how could that happen? I guess it's easier than you think.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I mean mean just one mistake, one little forgetting to do one thing.

Speaker 2:

apparently you can just there's some guys back in the office going, oh shit, family guys playing on the background, um, so they.

Speaker 1:

And now there's like a. There's a bunch of kids on a train going to a train field trip and of course it's the train that's heading straight for the 777 train. Um, and they're trying to update the. The conductor on it and the kids are so loud. It's like he's stressed out and I was like man, this is what bus drivers felt like every day Feel so bad. And then we meet the star of the show, baby, because we meet Ned. Ned is being sent to get ahead of the train to throw a switch that will take it off the main line. So Ned gets out of his diner and he hauls ass. Baby, I love. Every time we cut to Ned he's like pedal to the metal, so fun. I love Ned. He's got his ponytail so good. He's so intense. I know, but hey, sometimes you need a Ned, you do. You need a man who's just going to drive 100 miles an hour to catch a train.

Speaker 2:

He's the man.

Speaker 1:

It's like about to do donuts and everything. He's just driving so fast, jumping ramps and shit it's like all wet out and everything so good.

Speaker 1:

So we cut back to Frank. Frank starts asking questions about Will. He's like what's up with your wife? He says his long story. He's like I don't know what else you think we have to do today? And Will does the same. We learned that Frank was married once, daughters waitressing at Hooters to pay for college. Chris Pine, I'm a fan. This is so fun though. It's like a fun little scene between, because you finally see him kind of being friendly a little bit, even though it's all about to be ruined whenever he messes something up.

Speaker 2:

It was so funny when he says that his daughters work at Hooters and he just kind of stares. He says it in smiles like it's funny. He's just waiting for the new guy to like say some sexist shit about his daughter.

Speaker 1:

So he could beat the shit out of it. Yeah, and you know, it's like it's made as like kind of a little joke in the movie and it's probably is for fathers who have daughters that work at Hooters.

Speaker 1:

People are probably like but, seriously if you're going to pay for college, seriously, if you're going to pay for college, work at like Hooters or something, because you make so many tips. Apparently, there was somebody that we took, like they had like transportation from our apartments to the MTSU and you could just hear like the girls that would ride the bus like at the same time I would. They would talk about like making, like working at like Toots and Hooters and stuff and they'd be like it's like yeah.

Speaker 1:

I've made. I made like my month's rent in one night, goddamn. And then like one person's, like yeah, in a really busy night I made like three months rent in one night.

Speaker 1:

From tips alone. I wish I had boobs. Yeah Well, I think they have male versions of it, but then we gotta get muscles. You still have to have boobs, um. So we cut to connie.

Speaker 1:

Connie's trying to get in touch with corporate. Then, uh, then all of a sudden inspector warner comes in. He's there for the train safety for the kids. She's like get the fuck out of here, we don't need you right now, um, and then we see the train. It's going way faster than 10 miles per hour because there's a girl standing in front of the tracks and it's just like what the fuck? Um, and then ned is at the switch. Uh, waiting for it, but it's not showing up. Then doing uh, big g show up. Um, they start giving each other hell. Um, he updates connie and now they are all know that it's under power and it's going way faster than 10 miles per hour. Um, dewey had it at full power because it had the 39 cars on it. Connie tells him to speed up, to jump on. She has Ned haul more ass to follow the train and he's ready for it?

Speaker 2:

His button, yeah, the haul ass button.

Speaker 1:

It's like what gear you got in it? Oh, it's only in fifth gear Put it in the haul, ass gear. And I love it. You get a couple of shots of the train and it's like slowly becoming a monster at this point, yeah, it's great. And then we cut to the kids train and it barely makes it past the coaster. The guy conducting it or driving is just like sweating bullets.

Speaker 2:

And like all the kids are like is this supposed to be going that fast?

Speaker 1:

right next to us and almost hitting us. It's a great field trip for the kids. I know. Be like like mom, you'll never guess what? We almost died you never guess what almost hit us while we're in a train. What honey? Another train it's like. Oh, so you're no longer going on field trips on trains.

Speaker 2:

Did you ever go on a train field trip? Never been on a train ever we did it.

Speaker 1:

I want to be on a train, yeah, but not like a subway train. I mean I would like to do a subway train, but I want to be like on, like a, yeah, but not like a subway train. I mean I would like to do a subway train, but I want to be like on, like a Harry Potter type train. You know, that was just going through, like the mountainsides and stuff That'd be fun.

Speaker 1:

That's the kind of we did. I think it would be fun for 10 minutes, and then I'd be like we're just in a train.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's kind of how it is really expensive train rides you can buy that go through like beautiful areas of. One of my neighbors went on one through canada and it was like a seven-day train ride. Yeah, and it's just like all the alcohol you could drink all the food. You want, dude? That's cool, you got a bed on a train.

Speaker 1:

That'd be great. I mean that's. That's a hell of a way to travel, though I mean they would make stops and go like sightseeing and then you get back on the train, that's even better.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it sounds really fun.

Speaker 1:

Where was this? At Canada, canada Classic Canada, they're always doing that. I would love to do something like that, though. That does seem like fun. It's like oh cool.

Speaker 2:

I get to relax in a how it looks. The pictures were beautiful yeah, all right.

Speaker 1:

So back to the movie we got. We're cutting back to frank and will. They're just chugging along. So it goes from super fast train to these guys. It's like going five miles an hour. Maybe it's great. It's great side by sides, I feel like it really like lets you feel how fast the other train is going. Yeah, um, and then will hooks up the car. The track goes to hook up the cars but gets a call. Apparently the restraining order that's put on him by his wife is being extended for 30 more days. Frank catches him on the phone again. God, this woman is unstoppable. Yeah, also, hey, will, how about you hide properly? There's trains that can block your sight. Stop walking out into the open. Connie calls the police to set up roadblocks on all the main crossing lines. Dewey and Big G catch up to the train. Big G tries to jump on the train, but they are unsuccessful.

Speaker 2:

No, thank you for what he is doing trying to jump on the train.

Speaker 1:

That's super dangerous. Eventually they'll have to and it'll be someone who can do it with, you know, one foot. But yeah, they're running out of track, so like there's not going to be any more side to side track, so there's only a chance to do it right here Seems to happen a lot in this movie. There seems to be no long stretch of two trains next to each other, probably on purpose. Yeah, I'd hate for them to hit each other. Yeah, so Frank and Will fight because Will put too many cars on the train. They have 25 instead of 20. Will is going to get green cheated. Oh no, what does that mean? I don't know. He's just going to get in trouble. I guess they're not allowed to do that. I don't know what green cheating is, but this is classic real world and like real world versus training fight. You know, like that people have all the time where it's like yeah, you went to school and you trained. This is the real world. Shit gets dangerous out here.

Speaker 2:

Frank brings up for 20 years yeah.

Speaker 1:

And then Frank brings up like you shouldn't worry about getting green sheeted because you're a Colson. And like well say, oh, that's what this is about and this is where and you know, will says something like insulting. He's like you're a funny guy, you're a funny guy in a great way that Denzel talks. So Frank gets the update about the rogue train. Though runaway train they're looking back. It's about kids getting kidnapped. I know it's like, oh what.

Speaker 1:

Never knew that until I got older and I was like but I like the song. Now I don't want to ever listen to the song.

Speaker 2:

Well, like the music video that they used to watch all the time on, like VH1 and MTV, is just so fucking sad.

Speaker 1:

Never seen it, never seen the video. So they learn they have to pull over to get out of the way. Then we cut to news clips explaining everything.

Speaker 2:

What do you think?

Speaker 1:

Everything step by step. Yeah, so everything you just learned, we're learning again.

Speaker 2:

What do you?

Speaker 1:

think about the news clips.

Speaker 2:

They're kind of. They're one of those silly things about the movie.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I feel like the graphics are what kind of kill it and like the way that it's filmed, with like the lines, it's like all right. But cool thing is, the newscasters were good because they're actual newscasters from the area. They filmed it in Ohio, I believe so, not Pennsylvania.

Speaker 2:

Oh, yeah, that was funny. They're like now Will's doing this Whoa, now that we've just learned that something that just immediately just happened.

Speaker 1:

yeah, it's happened. Yeah, I know it's kind of it's silly, but they're just trying to make you, you know, like feel like you know the real life consequences of how it would be, you know, I guess. But yeah, it can kind of be like, uh, sometimes when they cut to you, I'm like this is a little silly, it's like. I know I know what happened, I saw it, yeah, but it does give you the reason to have a shit ton of helicopters in the sky, yeah, which is great. You can put more helicopters in your movie, just do it Like them.

Speaker 2:

And the helicopters are painted the same colors as the train.

Speaker 1:

I know, isn't that weird they were matching helicopters. That's oh my gosh, ooh. Which helicopter should we pick?

Speaker 2:

what color's the train? It's?

Speaker 1:

like oh cool, we have the same color helicopter. Ooh, let me change my outfit.

Speaker 2:

I still have the same colors. Yeah, that's okay, okay.

Speaker 1:

So headquarters calls and it's gal, gal, galvin, galvin. Yeah, I was like, did I just spell gal, galvin? No, it's galvin galvin. Yeah, I was like, did I just smell spill gal, gal, galvin? No, it's galvin. She tells him that some of the cars have a toxic material on it. Inspector warner knows about the chemicals it's molten venosol. You know? Yep, whatever, I'm just gonna call it molten.

Speaker 1:

Uh, galvin is I thought you were gonna say molten lava that was awesome uh, galvin is about to have a meeting to find out how to stop the train, but connie isn't allowed on the call because you know you figured you want the person closest to the train to be on the call. But you know, whatever, they have to block off 173 railroad crossings, Holy shit.

Speaker 2:

And they don't do them fast enough. Yeah, because they're always like just falling down as the train is barreling.

Speaker 1:

I mean, jeez, like think about how many cops you have to have out and about to stop it.

Speaker 2:

Like I mean, that's a lot of manpower you're going to have and I don't remember when the part where they show the state troopers and they're all wearing their silly hats with the chin straps. Yeah, that's like the shit you wear for parades. Yeah, like they're just out there all wearing it.

Speaker 1:

That never happens. Well, Jason, when a train goes by you at 70 miles per hour, your hat might fly off.

Speaker 2:

That's just so funny. It's so tongue-in-cheek. They're trying to show these people that are heroes, and they're always wearing their best uniform all the time.

Speaker 1:

Nah, dude. Good thing they wore their best uniform for the most news-covered day possible. And then this is where we get the line. Connie tells him that the train is the size of a missile. Is the size of a train.

Speaker 2:

A Chrysler missile.

Speaker 1:

The train is a missile the size of a Chrysler building.

Speaker 2:

Jesus Christ, Chrysler building is like oh hey. It's like, hey, it ain't that big, You'll see something big.

Speaker 1:

come over here to New York Chrysler Building's in New York, right, yeah, I think so Cool. So Connie wants to derail the train before it gets into the city, but Galvin denies Bitch-ass Galvin. And at one of the crossings Ned shows up after hauling so much ass, driver rams, oh and then. So all right, yeah, this is where the horse trailer stuff. So ned shows up and there's a guy's whole like one of those haul truck, like rock hauling trucks that we see all the time, you know, driving down the road. He's not paying attention because he's futzing with his uh radio like the whole time. It's like, hey, you do not have to look at your radio so intensely when you just let you know it was his first day.

Speaker 1:

He doesn't know how it works. He's like I've never learned this radio before I have to really pay attention.

Speaker 2:

What was this button do? Oh shit, yeah.

Speaker 1:

But it causes him to hit a truck that has a horse trailer on it and it flies it like makes the horse trailer get. You get this dope shot of like the people trying to get the horses out of the trailer and you're inside the trailer with the camera and you just see the train coming and I was like dude trains are so scary, but it's like.

Speaker 1:

I really love that shot and it really kind of wish they would always let one, let one of the horses get hit Really, just destroyed. Something I've learned about you in this podcast is you're so totally down with horses exploding.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, man, because there's so many ways, there's so many ways to kill a horse. Yeah, there's a ton of ways to kill everything, jason, but horses are more funny because they're big.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah yeah, I get it, and I don't like them very much.

Speaker 2:

Yeah Well.

Speaker 1:

I like horses because I grew up with them. They're beautiful, majestic creatures. If all my horses didn't eventually die of old age. I would bring one here to kick you. I would be afraid of it, man. So one of my horses it was like my horse, technically it was called Spooky. We called it Spooky because it would get spooked real easy. Technically it was called spooky. We called it spooky because it would get spooked real easy.

Speaker 1:

But like one day like we woke up in the morning and he was like kind of like super, like cut up and bloody, like in our fence and I guess that there was like I don't know if it was like a mountain lion or whatever is in our area um, it was just, I guess, attacking it, but like our horse was trying to get out and it's just running into like the barbed wire fence and stuff. Horses are so dumb, it's really well, he's being attacked by another an animal, that would definitely kill it.

Speaker 1:

I'm sorry, but you can see like the footprints of like some sort of big cat. Poor spooky Dad said it was a panther and I thought there was no way, because they don't think mountain lines. Yeah, just probably been a mountain line, big kitty, cat, but yeah anyway. So they get the horses out of just in time, and the gray shot inside the trailer already said that. So Frank and will go get to their siding to get off the track, but they won't fit because dumb old will put too many cars on. So Frank says he's going to have to go to the next rip track, which is apparently is a rest and repair track.

Speaker 2:

So it's like they repair trains on the rip track I don't know.

Speaker 1:

I looked it up.

Speaker 2:

It's kind of like the pit in racing.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they now learn that the train has power and they have to make it six miles to the rip track. Jesus Christ, so much words I never use, do trains.

Speaker 2:

Can you like, because of this, things like this happen. Do they have like a cutoff, like they can send a signal to it like Wi-Fi, the airlock?

Speaker 1:

Is that what that?

Speaker 2:

is yeah, and they didn't push the airlock, so that's the reason they can't.

Speaker 1:

There's like no dead man break because of it. Now, way to go, dewey. He made all the wrong decisions.

Speaker 2:

What would a name?

Speaker 1:

like Dewey, I just feel Well, he was ready for lunch. Okay, you'll do a lot of dumb things if you're hungry. Yes, I've done it. It's like you know. You have like the post-nut clarity, it's like the post-lunch clarity.

Speaker 2:

Yes, that's why I have so much clarity today.

Speaker 1:

Yes, I have eaten lunch.

Speaker 2:

I had sexual relations with my wife.

Speaker 1:

While having lunch, I'm so clear. So the headquarters are all having their meeting. Galvin has a plan, we learn, and apparently the plan is to have another train get in front of the runaway train to slow it down. It's ran by Judd Stewart.

Speaker 2:

Start throwing horses in front of it. Throw as many horses as you can.

Speaker 1:

You just have a bunch of cowboys come up, get alongside it, throw lassos on it Like everybody break at the same time Whoa.

Speaker 2:

Surprising. I thought that they were going to do that with the trucks.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

But then I thought different, because that was dumb yeah, definitely wouldn't work, jason.

Speaker 1:

So and then, while they have someone in front of the train to slow down, they're going to have someone being dropped down from a helicopter to get on the train. Apparently, it's like somebody in the army or something.

Speaker 1:

Yeah they should do that. Yeah, they tried it. They should try it again. Ned shows up and says that the police needs Ned shows up after continuing to haul ass, says that he needs a police escort and once he says, drops Connie's name, the police are like all right, and so now he's hauling ass with a police escort. Just to let you know, every time I talk about Ned I'm going to be saying haul ass, because that's all he does.

Speaker 2:

That's all he knows how to do it's so funny.

Speaker 1:

I love Ned. And then we get the scene where they try to stop the train. They are not successful because whenever they are able to slow down the train to like 40 miles per hour, which is what they needed to do to drop the guy down, but as he gets onto the train, of course it bumps into the other train and the guy goes flying into one of the other, into a window. He survives Somehow and so, and now they're going to try to slow it down again and switch the lines to get it off the main line. And when it gets to the switch he's still going way too fast and derails the other train and kills Judd RIP. Judd RIP. And I believe it's the guy that made like the like that had the retirement home joke. Oh yeah, I think they. Everybody kind of looks the same, although the background actors I'm like man, you all just look like blue collar train men. It's like the casting in it is great like, especially with all the extras.

Speaker 2:

I'm like, yeah, these people look like they work in train yards they're so I'll get to it later, but like when they get really excited they're really excited. So fucking excited about trains that's.

Speaker 1:

Oh man, I love that. It's like every time they do something right and everybody's pumped up. I'm like let's fuck Um so we're a team. Yeah, and so Frank gets in contact with Connie. Um, it's going to be close, but they're going to be able to make it to the rip track. Um, frank is sad when he hears Judd died, though. Oh, they all blow their train horns at the same time out of respect.

Speaker 1:

So Frank, knowing he might die, calls one of his daughters. He calls them to tell him he loves them and they know something is up, though it's really sad. Hey, knock, knock. You ever made a call like that, thinking you might die. So I better like call people. Uh, no, I don't think so. I have. Damn. Yeah, it's like when I worked in uh home depot on winchester there was a tornado heading straight for us and we're in a tin can essentially yes.

Speaker 2:

Filled with sharp objects and dryers that are in crushes and water heaters. You're in the barn from Twister.

Speaker 1:

And I remember I was just texting people. I'm like, hey, we can't. They're not letting us leave, so like we're just in the break room.

Speaker 2:

I'm about to be perforated.

Speaker 1:

We're just in the break, I'm about to be perforated. We're just like in the break room and I'm like there's fucking knives everywhere in here. Uh and so and everybody's like what are you doing? This is stupid and I was like it's coming to us. I don't know, I'm just saying something, nice guys I don't know what's gonna happen here.

Speaker 1:

Luckily, I guess the wind it's you know readjusted the tornado. That was like the really bad one. Like I remember we stayed at Home Depot from like 2 am because it like knocked out power in surrounding areas, so like people from Alabama were coming to buy generators so we had to stay there waiting for the people to come and pick up the generators. That sucks. And we had, like delivery no, we were waiting for deliveries of generators coming that night, so we got them and we were just waiting for the truck to get there and so, like, the employees that stayed and all the people waiting for the generators from like alabama and stuff, we're all just waiting.

Speaker 1:

We all had pizza it's kind of fun yeah, they only made us work a little bit. Oh, that's good after hours, because I was like. I was like are we gonna have to like just like down, sock and stuff? They? They're like just just for like an hour or so and it's like, but after that we just kind of get to chill and eat pizza, like yeah, and it's like I'm saying that's where.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to get paid for what I'm saying yeah, you're in danger, though. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, well, at that point we were out of the way of. Tornadoes are great for business. Yeah, they really are for Home Depot. I got a lot of overtime so they make it to the rip track. They are head to head with the train. It's very close, but they are able to make it out so that at least, like, the front of the train is not going to get hit. So they'll survive. But it does hit the last car and it just plows through it. Yeah, it's really cool. I love when trains hit things. I'm a basic man.

Speaker 2:

I just want to see things get hit and blow up. Hell yeah man. Can't be an action movie without shit blowing up Right.

Speaker 1:

So Frank learns that they are evacuating Arklow and that they are going to try to derail the train just right outside of it. Frank thinks that the mobile derailer won't work though, and because he worked for 28 years for the railroad company, he knows, so he wants to catch up to the train and hook up his engine to slow it down and stop it. Will is against the idea until Frank brings up his wife, who lives in Stanton, which is right after Arco, and he's like what does your wife think, right after Arculo? And he's like what does your wife think? And he's like, fuck, she probably thinks dang, I hope he dies, just kidding. So then Will decides like hey, I'm a part of this.

Speaker 2:

She's just watching there. She's like come on, come on, yeah, come on. Die, die, die, die.

Speaker 1:

It's like I do want to cheat on you with a crop. So connie calls frank and them. Frank tells her he is going after the train. Connie learns from frank that they are using a derailer, so connie doesn't even know that they're about to derail the train. Connie says they shouldn't derail it because they are going into populated areas and if they just fucking listen to her they could have derailed it in a field or something yeah, it could, or just remove the tracks or something.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I feel like there's more than one way to derail a train. Yeah, but you know they don't want to mess up any.

Speaker 1:

Put a bunch of pennies on it, they don't want to mess up. You know the tracks. I guess you know we could just put them back.

Speaker 1:

Greed, oh yeah, we don't want to mess up the tracks, but these people, yeah, it's like they just kind of got into the situation where like, oh well, now it's too late because it took too long. I guess it's the idea is, the train's going way too fast to like spend time derailing it or like taking off tracks. I have no idea how long it takes to take off a track. I don't either. So Connie is mad because if they derailed it, patched in with Connie and Galvin at this point, frank tells him it won't work and that he's going after it. Then we learned that the real threat is that there is an S-curve in Stanton that the train is heading for and apparently the speed limit for that is 15 miles per hour.

Speaker 2:

They were going 70. And this S-curve is surrounded by flammable stuff.

Speaker 1:

I know I'm like man, people just really don't think about where they put things.

Speaker 2:

But who?

Speaker 1:

would ever thought this would happen.

Speaker 1:

They're just going to run it to the nuclear weapon factory and so, essentially, if the train derails, this is going to blow up a whole city. Hell yeah, I'm here for it. And this is why Galvin's wanting to derail it now and he's like, well, it's our only option. Galvin tells him to stop or he will fire Frank. Then we learn that Frank already got his 90 days notice, and it's 72 days ago is when he got it. He's being forced to retire with half benefits. That sucks. Frank says he isn't doing it for Galvin, he's doing it to save the train. What a hero. Save the train. His true love is 777. Yeah, man, if only that. I guess this train company isn't unionized. No, I think they are, because, I mean, I don't know if it's like this specific one might not be, because isn't that like a union issue and like unions would step?

Speaker 1:

in and be like no, you're giving them full benefits.

Speaker 2:

I don't know how unions work.

Speaker 1:

Maybe they just didn't add it into the movie because it'd be too complicated to explain. I feel like most trained, but this is why we shouldn't get rid of them even though that seems to be the plan for some people.

Speaker 1:

I don't know, maybe watch this movie and think about things. Um so, uh, will takes the radio though to talk to galvin says mr galvin, this is will colson, your conductor. I'm letting you know we're gonna run, run this bitch down. It's like let's go. And then Denzel's like sir, you're breaking up, and he almost does an act. It's like check act.

Speaker 2:

I was like more attacks is happening.

Speaker 1:

Everything always leads to another movie cover. So Frank asked Will what his long story is with his wife, because this is a good time.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, this is a good time to have a weird conversation.

Speaker 1:

Hey, you got to.

Speaker 2:

I feel like you should be focused on the bad train.

Speaker 1:

I feel like it's one of those things where it's like well, we're all super nervous, we have a long time till we're catching up with this train. Let's try to not think about the fact that we might die soon, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Or maybe use that time to formulate a plan.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, hey, he's got a plan. He's going to run that bitch down, yeah, so we learned that Will got paranoid about his wife texting someone and he wanted to see the phone. And apparently they went to high school with this cop that really liked her. His wife is named Darcy, and so he wants to see the phone and he goes to grab at it and I guess it scares her. And then he like leaves and he goes to the cop's house and they have a conversation. He tries to explain, everything's okay, but then we learn that Will had a gun with him and he like threatened him to never talk to his wife again. And then, when Will goes, back.

Speaker 2:

What's wrong with that?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I mean, hey, pretty ballsy to cough with a gun. Some people might find that flattering. Yeah, and the kicker is that his wife was texting his sister-in-law something like that, so he pulled a gun on her.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's like, why are you texting her?

Speaker 1:

but he learned that when he gets back to his wife's house that all of the cop buddies are there waiting with a restraining order, and that's why um like to restrain him from being around cops around her, just like for her, so he can't be around her. The kid, um, and he's like, uh, I'll never be able to, uh, you know, be with her again at this point, and like, brings, like it's not too late, man, you can always.

Speaker 1:

You can always make things up yeah, just leave the gun at home, I guess, yeah you know, just, uh, just wait till she falls asleep, then look at her phone, I don't know. Just like, don't get too crazy immediately. So after the train tracks after learning will is not a very good guy, I guess he just made a big mistake. Yeah, it's like one day everything's going fine and the next day it's not.

Speaker 2:

It's like, yeah, usually when you pull a gun out on a cop, the next day is not very good and it's never gonna end up well for you, yeah.

Speaker 1:

So we get a scene where the police try and shoot the emergency stop on the outside of the train. That was so fucking funny but then they stop because they see it's fuel tank oh, you think.

Speaker 2:

You think the truck full of diesel with carrying like a million pounds of explosion gel. It's all I think is you know what?

Speaker 1:

maybe a good idea. You blow the train's fuel line up, and then maybe it just runs out of gas if there's nobody in it. Yeah, yeah, fucking fire away, just like get back further. I don't know they were too close. Yeah, and also, just because you shoot a tank of gas doesn't mean it explodes.

Speaker 2:

It usually just means unless there's a spark.

Speaker 1:

So as long as you shoot metal on metal and there's no spark, you should be okay.

Speaker 1:

They're kind of designed not to explode, like they do in the movies, yeah, but it's cool if it did yes. So Triple Seven comes up on the derailleur and it's like this whole set. They explain how the derailleur works and as it comes, everybody's got hope and it just plows through it and does absolutely nothing, it's going to blow up some cop cars. For some reason it just becomes a shrapnel grenade. Why are all those cop cars right next to the track? Probably to block them from actually by the crap? Wait, wait, wait.

Speaker 2:

No, it did show that they're all in a line and the front car wasn't starting because they're working on it. That's right I just clicked in my head for sure, like when I saw that I was like they parked on the tracks yeah, might have been a better idea.

Speaker 1:

You know what? Your idea of putting trucks in front of the track, starting to work, just debris, yeah, and I love like frank was right and he starts laughing like ha ha yeah, you get a little ha ha I've worked on the railroad for 28 years. Um so, uh. Then frank tells, his story is that his uh wife died of cancer seven years ago, and they are train cancer, yeah and this is just leading them to become more friends.

Speaker 1:

Frank tells him to call his wife and uh, he's like, well, I can't. It's like I've called her. She hasn't called me back. It's like, well, you need to call her again. You quit too easy, like just giving some old man advice.

Speaker 2:

There was watching us. He goes. Yeah, men, do quit too easy.

Speaker 1:

Yeah like well, we don't quit, then we become become.

Speaker 2:

We get restraining orders. There's a delicate middle ground.

Speaker 1:

Men have yet to find it. No, we never will. Just depends on who you're talking to. Yes, it's like you'll see. All right, I've tried to call three times. Is the fourth time creepy, or am I quitting too?

Speaker 2:

early Dick pic. Did your wife like the movie? She didn't watch much of it, she was just kind of there when that part happened.

Speaker 1:

Gotcha. So we cut to Darcy who was sleeping, because I guess she works at night and can sleep through all telephone calls. She is finding out about the whole situation. She turns off Family Guy to put on the news. She sees Will's on the train and Frank's daughter sees that Frank is going after the train because now all of Hooters is invested. Yeah, man.

Speaker 2:

Maybe Will doesn't have to worry about getting back together with his wife yeah, just go to Hooters.

Speaker 1:

Go to Hooters. Probably go to Denzel's daughter. We get a quick shot of Ned hauling ass next to a train. Warner talks to Frank telling him that Frank needs to, whenever he attaches to the other train, to alternate full throttle with braking. And Frank's because Frank was just like he's like you.

Speaker 2:

Sure it's going to work. I've been here for 28 years.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, he's just going to attach to it and then just go forward as fast as possible to try to rip it apart. Yeah, so apparently, just rip it apart. Yeah, so apparently like the braking would help slow it down because it'd be like resistance and then like they go resistance and then they go something like that. I don't know trains. Frank asks if they can uh trust this guy. Connie says they're in a perfect world. We can trust them.

Speaker 2:

Yeah yeah, I like that. I like that she's kind of in control of this yeah, like he trusts her judgment.

Speaker 1:

It's definitely it's classic oh big wigs. Don't know shit, I've worked here. 28 years.

Speaker 2:

I know everything. They know what the paper says.

Speaker 1:

You know what the thing is. It's always true. You know, working in a factory, I'm always like man. I don't know nothing about running these machines.

Speaker 2:

You just don't know.

Speaker 1:

You don't know. I'm sorry, you just don't.

Speaker 2:

You have an idea, but you don't know. Yeah, they've read the manual, probably.

Speaker 1:

It's like come on here, show me how to do that. So Will decided that he will be the one going outside hooking up to 777. They get up on it to attach it to them. So like, yeah, they're like backing into it and like he hits it. And of course when he hits it it like destroy, hurts the car, the last car on it.

Speaker 1:

Of course it has to be a grain truck, so it's just like pelting on the grain. It's really cool. I'm like oh, I did not expect this to be more intense than it already is.

Speaker 2:

It looks like liquid, yeah, and so much of it.

Speaker 1:

So like he backs into it and it attaches, but like the pin didn't drop. So then Will has to sit there and stomp on the pin trying to get it to hit. But then he is like like slips and the train kind of crushes his foot Ouch, ouchy, and he's like looking like he's about to fall off. But the pin did go successfully in at that point.

Speaker 2:

And then the news. The copters are like where did he go? Will's gone. Oh, there's Will yeah.

Speaker 1:

He's done something. It's like, wow, he just gave his wife a heart attack by saying he's gone. It's like, yeah, yeah, that means he's probably under the train. She's like, yes, I'm going to have sex with every single person at the station. But. But then we see that he did it, he successfully did it, and he got onto the train. And then he limps back with a bloody foot back into the compartment.

Speaker 2:

It's funny how he tapes it up, because then later he's like in a yellow cast.

Speaker 1:

It kind of looked like he just put yellow tape on, yeah because when he gets back into the train car I don't know what you call the front of the train engine I don't know what you call it, that's train engine.

Speaker 2:

I don't know what you call it.

Speaker 1:

That's the engine. The engine, yeah, the front of the train. Yeah, I'll just say that he goes in. Denzel's like wrap some duct tape on it, that'll help. Connie calls to check in. He's like how's Will Denzel? He's different, he's different. So it match speed and then start slowing down. He then takes Warner's advice and alternates between full throttle and braking and it starts to slow down. Yo boy, a little bit, but suddenly it's immediately not working anymore and they're being dragged by the train now because it's too heavy and got too much speed.

Speaker 2:

I was so confused. I was like, why does the train keep speeding up the whole time? Because I didn't see that one part.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's kind of important Ghost train. There's a ghost conductor, hell, yeah. So the max speed on the turn that they're about to come up on in Stanton is 25 miles per hour. The speed limit's 15. I thought it was 15. The highest that they can go to make it is potentially 25. They're going 70. So they come up with a plan to use the individual brakes on the train cars to stop it. So Frank's essentially going to go out there and like manually handbrake all of the trains as far as he can to slow it down. I love it, because Will's starting to kind of like say something like kind of sweet and he's like Denzel, don't get sentimental on me, makes me think I'm gonna die.

Speaker 2:

Yes, yeah actually he's like he's gonna die yeah.

Speaker 1:

So frank decides that he is the one to engage the end of a break. He successfully starts breaking the last few cars. The train is starting to slow down until will and frank's uh train loses their brakes and their engines.

Speaker 2:

Essentially, yeah, it's awesome yeah.

Speaker 1:

And it was like the inspector immediately right before it says man, I hope their brakes don't go out.

Speaker 2:

But Denzel's like, or Frank, he's like, just blow the block. You know, just do it Just do it and then they're all like really surprised that it happened. So right when they're coming up on the turn, and then the news crew's like I think they're going to blow the block. Yeah, it's just repeating what they've just said to each other.

Speaker 1:

So as they come up on the turn, we learn that the train will derail right in front of a bunch of giant fuel tanks. How?

Speaker 2:

embarrassing.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and so they're. Essentially they're hitting the turn with Frank on top of 777. They're going about 40 miles per hour, essentially something. And as they hit the curve, frank tells Will to hit the independent brake, which is like a separate brake, I guess, sure, I don't know. And so he just tells him to like start, like slam the brake and the train starts to tip. Hell yeah, it's reminiscent of speed when the train the bus gets on it, hell yeah.

Speaker 1:

And the train bus gets on it, um, and it looks like it's gonna fall off, and some of the cargo falls off, but hitting, uh, the independent brake causes the train to slow down enough to land the train back on the track. They did it. So what do you think of the scene, though? Like is it too silly, or did you think that it was, like, pretty intense?

Speaker 2:

it was pretty intense. I mean it was kind of cool, yeah, because I mean I was kind of hoping something would explode. But you know can't win it every time, always hoping for something come on, man.

Speaker 1:

So frank is now trying to make it um to the front of the train to stop it, uh yeah, you think they're like oh, let's just go to the front.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, well, it's just like hey, I can probably just run across this train right. Super dangerous, like not everybody's Tom Cruise that can do it.

Speaker 1:

Or James Bond in Skyfall, yeah, but he gets to a point where, like, the jump's too far because it's like unstable, it's like just a bunch of beans and stuff.

Speaker 2:

Rounded beans, big pipe things.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so he can't make the jump. But luckily our boy Ned, who's been still all in ass gets next to the train, cause luckily there's a road right next to the train. Now he tells Will to jump onto the truck. Will is able to do so successfully. Holy hell, that would be scary. I'd be like I don't know, man, I don't know. I was so pissed off at Ned, though, whenever he's trying to get Will to jump into the truck.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, he's like come on, you pussy. Like okay, for one like this is super scary.

Speaker 1:

It's like hey, ned, I know your like adrenaline is pumping. You've had a police escort for like two hours here and you have a huge ponytail, so that gives you a lot more testosterone. But this is scary and he's got one leg man. I would like to. If, like, there was pads everywhere, I'd like to try. That'd be kind of fun, but also scary.

Speaker 2:

So but, ned, he ain't done hauling ass, baby, he's got more ass to haul, he gets into the next highest gear, which is super asshole-hauling.

Speaker 1:

Because they're going to go to the front of the train, so Will can jump on the train and stop it. The issue is they're running out of parallel road and if they don't stop it, frank's going to die, probably. Yeah, so they get next to the front of the train. Will tries to make the jump. It successfully, does he?

Speaker 2:

did it. Everybody's super pumped about that, with all of.

Speaker 1:

Philadelphia watching on screaming at their TVs. All these meatheads are high-fiving each other, I'll be watching this. Kissing, hugging and Will stops the train with Frank celebrating on top. They give each other the classic. We did it, mr Fantastic, mr Fox.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, Solidarity yeah.

Speaker 1:

And as the train stops, will notices that he got a missed call from Darcy Frank and Will give each other a look and Darcy gives Will a big old hug. And then we cut to the press conference. Ned is giving a speech saying like I was built for this.

Speaker 2:

I got that dog in me.

Speaker 1:

I'm Ned. I want to go fast. I'm the all-hull-asser of the railroad system. Frank and Will are also at the press conference. You know they're making jokes. We learn that Frank's getting his job back and maybe a better one. You know they're making jokes.

Speaker 2:

We learned that frank's getting his job back and maybe a better one. Before the the press conference, like whenever they find out that the train every the day has been saved. And it cuts through all the people watching it and they're screaming. They're just like the most intense, like yes, fuck, yeah, we saved all of philadelphia it just seems so a little over the top.

Speaker 1:

It's like all right.

Speaker 2:

Some of them really angrily screaming.

Speaker 1:

Your team didn't win like the big game here. Why are we still screaming like an hour later? And Connie shows up and it's like I don't know which one of you I'm going to kiss. First Frank, like me, yes, so. And then he kisses the cheek. And you know, like Connie has like a real, like kind of like adorable reaction to kissing on the cheek. That was because that was the first, first take of it and it's her first kiss.

Speaker 1:

Rosario Dawson was super excited to give Denzel Washington a kiss on the cheek because, you know, everybody's a huge fan of Denzel and so when she does it, like her genuine, like reaction, like I can't believe I just did that. That was like a real reaction. Denzel wipes his face. Yeah, he goes ew Dude, like I only, like my wife who died of cancer seven years ago, which happens to be I was 21 years into my 28 year railroading career. It's like, frankly, get it. And then we get a shot of a helicopter saying over and out, and then we get the classic like animal house, like what happened next? Frank was promoted, retired and then eventually retired with full benefits. Way to go. Frank Will is married to Darcy and has a second kid on the way, and he's only had to steal her phone one other time. Connie was promoted to Galvin's old job and Dewey's working in fast food Nice. He should be in jail.

Speaker 2:

People died because of him, I feel like I don't know, dewey's just maybe should have given him a pass this one time. Surely he wouldn't do it again.

Speaker 1:

Well, I'll have to disagree with you on that one, Jason. This guy should be at least go to have probation or something.

Speaker 2:

No, he just needs like retraining A horse trailer died Jason.

Speaker 1:

A horse trailer. Those things are expensive, man. Yeah, and that's the film we're going to go into our categories first, before we end the podcast. I don't know why I'm saying it the way I am. So, our first category is the good, the bad, the ugly, the fine. We talk about the good of the film, something we like. The bad, something we didn't like. The ugly, something we thought didn't age well. The fine, something that did age well. What do you got for the good?

Speaker 2:

Good, I, you know it's kind of cool to see how trains work. Yeah, I guess, yeah, and like an unstoppable train.

Speaker 1:

It's fucking cool, yeah, never, never thought about runaway trains, and now I think about them more than. I ever have 100% increase in my train thought I also think I've said train in this podcast more than I've ever seen train in my life. Yeah, my train thought I also think I've said train in this podcast more than I've ever seen train in my life. Yeah, the only train I like is, uh, the ones I run. You get it. It's like a sex joke or something yes, yeah, yes, I'm cutting it very funny, yes everybody's laughing.

Speaker 2:

All of philadelphia is throwing their hands in the air yeah all of philadelphia is listening right now. This is their favorite movie.

Speaker 1:

So my good was the filmmaking, just in general. I just thought that you made a train something scary and look faster than trains look in real life and it's cool.

Speaker 2:

It was cool.

Speaker 1:

And also Denzel Washington. He's always fun, he's great, no matter what he can be in the worst movie ever, he goes for it and he does it, and he's just one of our best actors. What do you got for the bad?

Speaker 2:

Not bad. I think I'll touch on it a little bit. Not enough horse dying, that's true. But, you hate horses and want them all to die.

Speaker 1:

I hate when horses live. Yes, jason, if you became president, what would you do? Kill all horses.

Speaker 2:

No, I'd just put them in an internment camp, oh okay.

Speaker 1:

Wow, people don't like our podcast anymore. My main bad was the news segments. They just looked fake. It looked really fake and it's because they're filming with the same type of camera that they use to actually film the movie and they try to like bring it up a little bit and it doesn't look as good.

Speaker 1:

It just doesn't look as good and it just looks. You know looks. They almost never news in movies almost always looks bad. The graphics never look accurate, you know, because it takes a lot of time to prepare for a new show. I've learned that in school. So the ugly, what do you? Got for something that didn't age?

Speaker 2:

well, flip phones, mine was just flip phones. Yeah, flip phones. They look so bad they kind of age out you can still get them though Burner phone.

Speaker 1:

How many burner phones you?

Speaker 2:

got None anymore. That's the whole point. Sure, what do you got for something that age? Well, uh, I don't know um mutton chops yeah, are they ever actually cool? Yeah, yeah, I mean ned makes them in the 50s maybe. Hell yeah, you never see them, but when you do see them you're like that is kind of cool yeah, it's like I wish I could grow sideburns so I could do that, but I cannot.

Speaker 1:

I have no sideburns.

Speaker 2:

Like.

Speaker 1:

Joe Dirt Like he doesn't have sideburns. Yeah hey, not everybody can grow sideburns, Jason.

Speaker 2:

I'm laughing Really.

Speaker 1:

Seriously, I can't. It's very embarrassing.

Speaker 2:

It's not embarrassing.

Speaker 1:

I just can't do it. Whatever I, I'm not a hairy boy I am. So now that you know how much hair we have, we'll go to the fine, something that aged well, I picked Tony Scott, even though he's dead, so technically he can't age anymore.

Speaker 2:

No, he doesn't age well at all, but he's a great director.

Speaker 1:

I mean shoot. We had a sequel to Top Gun and because Top Gun 1 is so well-loved, it made billions of dollars. Hell yeah, dude, it's like Tony Scott will live on through the movies. I love that? What do you?

Speaker 2:

got Something aged well, something that aged well, I mean, I think, after this, of course, when was? Because I think Chris Pine, like I don't know how many, how far in his?

Speaker 1:

career. This is kind of the beginning of his career, yeah, and then a bunch of like bad romantic comedies.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, I kind, of like you, know his career from this point on. So, yeah, he's kind of I think a lot of.

Speaker 1:

He's one of the Chris's, you know our.

Speaker 2:

Hollywood Chris's.

Speaker 1:

And it's like he's usually one of the more popular ones, like in terms of like acting. I feel like he's probably the best acting, the best actor of all the All the Chris's See. He's got more of a dynamic range than the other ones. The other ones just seem to be we're funny and usually when we're not doing funny, it doesn't quite work as well. Yeah, versus Chris Pine can do funny and also serious at the same time. He's more of a believable handsome actor. Yeah, he looks like he would work in certain jobs. Versus you. Look at Chris Hemsworth and it's like he's too pretty. You're a model.

Speaker 2:

That's all you can do.

Speaker 1:

You're either acting or a model Same with Chris Pratt. Pratt used to be like you could see him as an everyday guy, but now he's too muscular as well. And then the other, Chris, Captain America, Chris, Anyways. So we are going to move to our next category double feature. It's a movie that goes great with the movie Unstoppable.

Speaker 2:

Do you have anything Trading Day? I think yeah, Because it has train in the word and Denzel Washington.

Speaker 1:

He's giving shit to another new guy.

Speaker 2:

He loves to do it. He's good at that.

Speaker 1:

I picked that. It's very similar, but instead of on the ground, it's in the sky.

Speaker 2:

Con Air baby, Put the bunny down, yeah.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, I do understand what you're saying with Super 8. Like, yeah, the giant train crash, that was fucking awesome.

Speaker 2:

So good.

Speaker 1:

And something Con Air has giant plane crash. Yeah, Hell yeah.

Speaker 2:

And a bunch of criminals, yeah that escape. It's way sillier than unstoppable, and Nicholas Cage's accent is awful, yeah, but his hair.

Speaker 1:

It's awful, a masterpiece. No, con Air is so much fun, if you like. It really is fun. Just some people trying to get off a plane and stuff, just like you want to get off a train.

Speaker 2:

That's the movie I'd go with it's way too long, but it's great.

Speaker 1:

It is pretty long when they get to like Vegas or wherever they're at it's like. Is this gonna end like? You did the movie.

Speaker 2:

You already did the plot of the movie and I love how he got sent a present for being too good at karate. Yeah, that was just the best his hands are lethal weapons yeah and that's our episode covering unstoppable.

Speaker 1:

I hope you liked it. If you've never seen it and then you watched it and you liked it, let us know that was super fun. Um, because unstoppable it's just kind of a lost gem. I just feel like it's like a good movie that nobody talks about, and they should um, so maybe because it is stoppable?

Speaker 2:

yeah, because they did stop it it was not unstoppable.

Speaker 1:

I mean it was until they actually hit the brakes in the account, but without that it was an unstoppable trap it was so anticlimactic when he stopped it for me it's like oh you, just, somebody just had to press the brake yeah, he's just like oh, let's just slow down if only they had. You know, what they really needed was spider-man.

Speaker 2:

Hell yeah, spider-man whenever he fell between the two, whenever they were trying to the couple the cars together and he fell. I thought they were going to do that where he tries to hold them together and he just gets ripped in half.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, anyway, man, these movies would be nothing if they just had superheroes in their life. All right, so that's our discussion of Unstoppable. Join us next week for part one of a two-week two-parter. Two weeks in a row we're doing the same movie from the same universe. The first movie we're doing is Kill Bill. Hell yes.
