All on the what is that, the West Coast.

SPEAKER_01 2:10

Go meet the guy that played um Joey Jeremiah on Degrassi. Meet all those guys. I wouldn't mind doing that.

SPEAKER_06 2:17

I mean, I would love to go see where Ryan Cosling grew up.

SPEAKER_01 2:21

Speaking of Ryan Gosling, Megan and I were watching that Project Hail Mary. That's a long movie.

SPEAKER_06 2:26

I did, I it is a very long movie.

SPEAKER_01 2:28

What'd you think?

SPEAKER_06 2:29

I thought it was good. It gave me uh Flight of the Navigator, but like, you know, 2026.

SPEAKER_01 2:35

There you go. Yeah, I I didn't even think about that, but you're right. You're absolutely right.

SPEAKER_06 2:39

Yeah, I was totally in my feels about it. I mean, I cried. I was like, oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 2:43

We haven't finished it yet.

SPEAKER_06 2:44

So no spoilers. It's good.

SPEAKER_01 2:47

That's what this podcast is.

SPEAKER_06 2:48

What do you think of it so far?

SPEAKER_01 2:49

I like it.

SPEAKER_06 2:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:50

And and honestly, you know, I don't love Ryan Gosling, but I don't dislike him. It's one of those things. Uh, but I mean he's he's pretty good in this.

SPEAKER_06 3:01

I I don't mind him. Love him. I I love him.

unknown 3:04

I love him.

SPEAKER_01 3:06

Well, yeah, I'd say it's pretty clear. You were just talking about how you wanted to go up to Canada and like low-key kind of stalk him a little bit.

SPEAKER_06 3:11

I mean, not stock, just see where greatness came from.

SPEAKER_01 3:14

I just admire from afar.

SPEAKER_06 3:15

Just see where greatness came from. That's a okay. All right.

SPEAKER_01 3:19

So let's see here. What did I leave off? Oh, all right, here we go. So but before we get going on what I can only imagine, it's gonna be a fantastic episode. Just have a couple of announcements to make. One, we're gonna be pulling back on having special guests. Now, before you overreact and get all depressed and go off to go chug cheap booze and write bad poetry to your cats, we're still gonna have special guests, just not on every episode. It's a scheduling thing, it's tough. It's tough to get people in here. Things happen, kids get sick, they get sick, people gotta work late, people eat some bags, walk them away, they can't stop shitting. It happens.

SPEAKER_06 3:58

Also, you know, we're enough. Some might say more than I but I do like the occasional drop-in. Yeah. I love uh M M M action.

SPEAKER_01 4:09

Oh, making the Megans? Mm-hmm. Yeah, the Megans. Yeah, you would. But we are we are enough. And I do say, I dare say more than enough at times. And we got beer, so that just makes everything better. But I do want to thank each and every person that has been on before and everyone that will be on in the future. You'll be here one day, and most importantly, you will be back.

SPEAKER_06 4:33

Also, Mr. Tarantino, if you ever want to, you know, come on our podcast and talk about this movie or any of your movies, we would love that.

SPEAKER_01 4:43

I would I would love that. I would definitely love that. I would love if Martin if Martin Scorsese were to be here right now.

SPEAKER_06 4:49

I mean, yeah, I dream of genie move right now.

SPEAKER_01 4:54

If only, Megan, if only.

SPEAKER_06 4:55

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:57

So, but yeah, Megan and I are mainly doing this so that we can create more content and do it a lot more consistently. And secondly, of course, pending a business meeting, or slightly more daring, a business dinner, big things are on the horizon for this podcast. I realize that's not a whole hell of a lot to go on. I don't want to give away too much and have a bunch of people running around out there creaming their drawers until the time is just right. Of course.

SPEAKER_06 5:22

We know how you fans are. I know, I know.

SPEAKER_01 5:26

I just, I mean, ever since I started this, my popularity has skyrocketed. At least that's what I tell people.

SPEAKER_06 5:33

It's a rumor, I seems easy.

SPEAKER_01 5:36

I know, right?

SPEAKER_06 5:36

My husband doesn't even refer to it as a podcast. He's like, You're gonna go do your thing, right? Your movie, your movie. I think, oh, tonight he called it a movie club. You're going to your movie club.

SPEAKER_01 5:48

I I tried to start one. I tried to start one a long time ago with uh Megan and a mutual friend of ours, is how I actually met Megan. We tried to start a film club, just three of us, right? First time out of the gate, we decided, okay, you know what? It'd be kind of fun. Start a film club. We'll get together, we'll watch a movie, and then we'll talk about it. Nothing too crazy.

SPEAKER_06 6:11

Yeah, like the film movie version of a book club.

SPEAKER_01 6:15

Yeah. Exactly.

SPEAKER_06 6:16

Visual. You want to know how many meetings we had? How many? One. One.

SPEAKER_01 6:20

They talked throughout the entire fucking movie. The entire time. I'm just like, yeah, this is not really the whole point, guys. So, you know, shut up.

SPEAKER_06 6:29

Yeah, this is good that we stop talking. That we can meet up in our movie club, you and me, Mick, and talk about the movie we watch separately. Yeah. Because I have to rewind a lot and be like, what did he just say?

SPEAKER_01 6:42

Oh, I every single movie that I do an episode on, or that now we do an episode on, I watch it several times. Three, four. I mean, I watch it mainly if I enjoy it, and then I watch it again, take notes and everything, and watch it again, get everything I like, don't like, yada yada, and all that shit. So yeah. Um so anyway, now with all that being said, like Megan said, we are going back to Mr. Tarantino for his directorial debut. Yes, that's right. We are talking about reservoir dogs. And I got in here to chat it up with you a little bit, so let's um let's let's let's do that. Let's chat it up.

SPEAKER_06 7:22

I mean, before I was chat, chat, chat, chat, chat. Before I had looked up the year of this film, I really thought Four Rooms was his directorial debut, but in fact it was Reservoir Dogs, which I mean I felt like it set the tone for the rest of his films. Yeah. And I'm I'm on board. I like it.

SPEAKER_01 7:41

Yeah. This one I saw this, I think I was about 12 years old the first time I saw it. A lot of people would think that's a little too young to be seeing Reservoir Dogs, but Pulp Fiction was my first Tarantino film. Yep, saw that one next.

SPEAKER_06 7:55

And then uh what is it? Um Dusk Until Dawn.

SPEAKER_01 8:00

You like that one?

SPEAKER_06 8:02

I mean it's it's it's just kind of like a cult classic uh amongst therp certain people. And yeah, I don't I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 8:13

I I think it would barely get to cult classic status.

SPEAKER_06 8:17

Yeah, it it's not like what I would want to pull out of the you know, DVD library and be like, let's watch this. No, no.

SPEAKER_01 8:27

I watched that not too long ago.

SPEAKER_06 8:28

Maybe around Halloween and maybe in the theme of vampire stuff, I would then watch it.

SPEAKER_01 8:34

Yeah, but uh, I mean, maybe, I don't know. I I I do love how Cheech Maron plays like some like four different characters in that movie. That's all well and good. Um looking back on it now, loved the hell out of that movie when I was a senior in high school. Of course, that was in 1998. And just, I don't know, just didn't really blow my skirt up anymore. George Clooney's really not all that great in that movie.

SPEAKER_06 8:58

Yeah, yeah. Um I think he did great for his part, but uh I mean during Halloween too, I have to like watch the Evil Dead movies, all of them, you know, and do that. So and some people would say that they're incredibly awful.

SPEAKER_01 9:17

Not me.

SPEAKER_06 9:18

Not me.

SPEAKER_01 9:19

Maybe they're so bad they're good. I don't know. I don't even know. I wouldn't even go that far, but I do love them.

SPEAKER_06 9:23

I just love them, and I love the memories of like the first time I watched them, and my mom was dating this guy, and his son Josh uh was was like every other weekend, you know, because his parents were divorced. And so I I mean we would just watch these movies, and he was always I would hope his parents were divorced.

SPEAKER_01 9:42

Mom is really into married men. Not judging.

SPEAKER_06 9:46

Well, I'm just saying, like, you know, like that's why he was in a weekend situation.

SPEAKER_01 9:51

Yeah, I I I'm I'm a I'm a divorced man myself, Megan. I'm I'm well aware of that.

SPEAKER_06 9:56

Well he could have he could have just been you know living with the dad.

SPEAKER_01 9:59

Oh like yeah kind of a fuck you, mom.

SPEAKER_06 10:01

You're you're a junkie, can't get your shit together and go live with the maybe, but I mean that woman is actually so sweet and she's a saint, so I can't say that. No, no, but far from. Far from.

SPEAKER_01 10:13

Good. I I love hearing that. It gives me hope.

SPEAKER_06 10:17

Yeah, so we would watch these movies all the time, and yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:20

Dusk until dawn was one of them, one of the many that I got to well, but let's not get off the topic of Evil Dead just yet. So you're a big fan of Bruce Campbell?

SPEAKER_06 10:32

Yeah. Well, I mean, uh, him and Evil Dead. I don't really like stop some uh any cameo he's done or any small party he's done, like I've watched, but what was the one you're you're on the edge of potentially bashing Bruce Campbell in my presence and I will not be. Take a step back from that ledge, my friend. I need to drink.

SPEAKER_01 10:57

No, thought I was gonna have to get violent, and I loathe violence.

SPEAKER_06 11:01

But when you say like big fan, I'm not a big fan. I'm just a fan uh of when I see him. I like him, but I don't like saw it after except for Evil Dead.

SPEAKER_01 11:11

I'm I'm a big fan. Uh I remember years ago hearing a rumor, and that's all it ever turned out to be, was a rumor, that there was gonna be a sequel to Freddie versus Jason. And we all remember what that was like, but they said the sequel was gonna be Freddie versus Jason versus Ash. I'm like, oh God, are you kidding me? Freddie and Jason will stand a chance.

SPEAKER_06 11:33

Well, who's Ash?

SPEAKER_01 11:36

Ash from Evil Dead, his character in Evil Good.

SPEAKER_06 11:39

Oh, God, you know what? I can remember his name. Yeah, you got it. You got it, no? That's okay. I can remember his name.

SPEAKER_01 11:45

Yeah, that yeah, that's who he played. Boomstick and the chainsaw for the hand and everything.

SPEAKER_06 11:50

Oh yeah, classic. Classic.

SPEAKER_01 11:53

All right. My friend, do you have anything you wanna anything you want to say here before we get to the trailer? No, let's get to it. Excellent, let's get to the trailer.

SPEAKER_04 12:02

Mr. White, Mr. Black, Mr. Pink.

SPEAKER_03 12:06

Why am I Mr. Pink? Yeah, I think it's you this day. You're Mr. White, you have a cool family name. Let's go to White.

SPEAKER_04 13:09

Michael Match. There, the Reservoir Dog.

SPEAKER_01 13:26

You shoot me in a dream, you better wake up and apologize. Reservoir Dog stars, well, you just heard it a little bit ago, Harvey Kaitel, Michael Madsen, Steve Buscemi, Tim Roth, Chris Penn, Eddie Bunker, probably the coolest name ever, Quentin Tarantino, and Lawrence Thierry. It was released September 2nd, 1992, written by Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avery, and directed by the man himself, Quentin Tarantino. Megan. What's up?

SPEAKER_06 14:01

I love I love Quentin Tarantino.

SPEAKER_01 14:03

I know, so do I. I love him. Alright, should we dive into the synopsis then? Yes. You ready? Ready to do this?

SPEAKER_02 14:09

Yes.

unknown 14:09

Alright.

SPEAKER_01 14:10

The film begins at a Los Angeles diner where a group of eight men are finishing breakfast and listening to one tell his version of the meaning behind the Madonna song like a virgin. It's not about a sensitive guy meets a nice, or it's not about a sensitive girl and needs a nice fella. That's what True Blue's about. Granted, no doubt about that. Um, I gotta say right away, the thought of middle-aged men discussing Madonna, tad bit far-fetched.

SPEAKER_06 14:34

Just saying. Also, men saying the word virgin to me is so ick.

SPEAKER_01 14:39

Really?

SPEAKER_06 14:40

Yeah. Just virgin. It's yeah, virgin. Well, it's like moist to people. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:46

That's a rough one, too. I I don't have a problem with virgin. That word does not You're a man.

SPEAKER_06 14:51

You're a man. Why would you have a problem with the word virgin?

SPEAKER_01 14:54

Of course I'm a man. All men.

SPEAKER_06 14:57

No man has a word uh has a problem with the word virgin. I just have a problem with men saying it.

SPEAKER_01 15:02

Really?

SPEAKER_06 15:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:03

I won't say it anymore.

SPEAKER_06 15:04

Appreciate it.

SPEAKER_01 15:05

I'll say I said it a few times just to kind of mess with you. I won't do it anyway.

SPEAKER_06 15:08

It's gonna be nails on a jackpot. It's just okay.

SPEAKER_01 15:12

So it's it's a it's a bit much, much then.

SPEAKER_02 15:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:16

I had to do that. Shout out to our friend Leslie. We love we love you, Leslie.

SPEAKER_02 15:20

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 15:20

So anyway. Yeah. I asked her if she wanted me to dedicate this episode to her. I haven't got confirmation yet, so I'm kind of going a little maverick there.

SPEAKER_06 15:29

Well, you know, they are dressed uh impeccably well for this movie. So and Leslie is always dressed impeccably well. So you know what?

SPEAKER_01 15:38

How do I reach those heights?

SPEAKER_06 15:39

Yeah, and she would always make like a good argument on what they should do next.

SPEAKER_01 15:45

You're right. Yeah, she would. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 15:47

Actually, she would actually just handle business.

SPEAKER_01 15:50

She loves this movie, too. Yeah. Yeah. She would escape with the loot.

SPEAKER_06 15:59

Yeah, definitely.

SPEAKER_01 16:01

It'd be all part of her master plan.

SPEAKER_06 16:02

Yep, mastermind.

SPEAKER_01 16:04

Alright, so the conversation moves from Madonna to the playlist of local yet fictional radio show K Billy's Super Sounds of the 70s, with Steven Wright as the DJ. A random address book that someone is spending an unnatural amount of time mulling over, especially over one particular name, Toby. Toby? Toby Wong. Toby Wong, fucking Charlie Chan. I got Madonna's big thick coming out of my left ear, and Toby the um I don't know what.

SPEAKER_02 16:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:33

We won't say that. And finally culminates in a mild argument over tipping at a restaurant. The men at the table are as follows. Mr. White, played by Harvey Kaitel, Mr. Orange, played by Tim Roth, Mr. Blonde, played by Michael Madsen, Mr. Pink, played by Steve Buscemi, Mr. Brown, played by Quentin Tarantino, Mr. Blue, played by Eddie Bunker, nice guy Eddie Cabot, played by Chris Penn, and Joe Cabot, the boss, played by Lawrence Tierney. Now I have right here your notes. Megan, take it away.

SPEAKER_06 17:08

Oh, before you go on, I just want to touch on the waitress discussion. He doesn't believe in tipping, Mr. Pink. And uh the word, what does he say? Words too busy shouldn't be in a waitress's vocabulary. Uh, and then him playing his like pressing his thumb and index finger together, playing the world's smallest violin for all of the waitresses is just bullshit. Dealing with the general public while serving them, making small chat, dealing with an expectation that after seeing you twice, I must remember your drink order and food preferences, balancing dishes to ensure that everyone at your table receives the meal at the same time. Maintaining an uncleed uncluttered space for all of the items you are still working on, stacking your used dishes, getting spit all over us, your I mean, it's disgusting. Uh, I feel like everyone should be a waiter or waitress at some point in their adolescent life. Dealing with the general public will teach you discipline, routine, patience, etiquette, social awareness, and people who tip shit probably don't put their cards back. And that's how I feel. Yeah. My fallback after 20 years of being a hairstylist, because I know nothing else, would be probably to waitress. And it's something you can do at any fucking time.

SPEAKER_01 18:30

Have you been a server before?

SPEAKER_06 18:32

Uh no. No, no.

SPEAKER_01 18:35

Is that sarcasm?

SPEAKER_06 18:36

Yeah, that was sarcasm. Yes, yes, I have. Yes, I have.

SPEAKER_01 18:43

You sounded like a former server.

SPEAKER_06 18:44

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 18:45

See, I've never done it, but I know full well. I I don't know, but I can imagine it's not an easy job. I I've said this many times to people. I'm like, dude, servers, it's a hard job. You gotta know. I mean, you gotta come up there, you gotta and like you said, you gotta deal with all sorts of people. Now I've had jobs where I've had to deal with the people with the public before, and I fucking hated it, but I've never been a server. You gotta come, you gotta take their order, you gotta, you know, remember who's getting what. You gotta know how often to come back and check on them, see if they need anything, if they need a refill or this or that. You know, you want to be able to go over there so that you're paying enough attention to them, but not go over there too much. You don't want to bother them. It's a hard job.

SPEAKER_06 19:31

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:31

But they also mention working at McDonald's. Now that's something I do know something about. I didn't work there in high school and a little bit after. That's also a hard job.

SPEAKER_06 19:40

Yeah, fast food is it is it's a hard job.

SPEAKER_01 19:43

It's a simple job.

SPEAKER_06 19:45

You have a small space not easy. You have a smaller space to work in, so you really just kind of like bebop like your maybe like what what's that movie? Uh or a video game, Link and Um Zelda. Yep. Yeah, you just kind of like bebop around in this little square, this little rectangle. With your little ass sword, yeah. Trying to get the uh spatula, the trip.

SPEAKER_01 20:09

I took I took a lot of shit in high school when I worked at Mickey D's.

SPEAKER_02 20:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:13

And I would tell people the same exact thing every single time. I'd be like, you know what? Kiss the ring. I'd be like, which ring? The one located right in the center of my ass. Kiss that ring. Be like, I'm sorry, you know, not all of us get jobs handed to us. Not all of us can go and make a decent amount of cash working on the family farm. So there you go. Pound it up your mother's ass if you don't like it. It's a hard job. And a lot of people that gave me shit for doing it would try to work there, and guess what? They couldn't fucking hack it.

SPEAKER_06 20:46

Yeah. I uh I had many jobs in my teenage years, many in my early 20s. Many, many, many, many jobs. But the thing was in my house was you aren't not working. Right. So I had lots of jobs because I was constantly working. Yeah. And even though it didn't work out for me.

SPEAKER_01 21:07

Well, I I imagine the the possibilities to work at a lot more places um were a lot more vast in Jacksonville than they were around here.

SPEAKER_06 21:17

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 21:18

There wasn't a lot of options around here.

SPEAKER_06 21:19

Oh yeah. Sushi restaurant. I worked at Target for a little bit, American Eagle, but I was like allergic to the wool sweater, so that was short-lived. Um you know, waitressing.

SPEAKER_01 21:30

I imagine that'd be a that'd be a little bit of a problem.

SPEAKER_06 21:32

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 21:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 21:34

So what's the worst job you've ever had, real quick, before we get back to Um, I I wouldn't say necessarily worse. Uh I I really like working in the food industry sucked, but I still had a lot of fun at those jobs. Sure. Uh the one job where I was doing what I really wanted to do, but I hated my boss uh was this I will God, I can't remember his last name, but Bruce from the Owner of Hair Piece, I will call you out, you piece of shit asshole. Go right ahead.

SPEAKER_02 22:05

Go right ahead.

SPEAKER_06 22:06

Uh, he was so mean to me. I was fresh out of school, and he just made it very blatant how his distaste for me in front of everyone would make a scene, would try to make me feel small any chance he got. Wow. Yeah. So fucker. I mean Bruce. Luckily, I didn't give up on hairstyling, but fuck you, Bruce. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 22:32

Yeah. Who the hell would Bruce think he is? Fuck Bruce.

SPEAKER_06 22:34

Yeah, fuck you, Bruce.

SPEAKER_01 22:35

Yeah, for me, it was um, I worked at uh a uniform company called Centas. Okay. And I had uh like two bosses. There was the main boss, he was real fucking jag-off, total fucking pig. All right, he came from John Deere, so he thought he was hot shit, right? And then there was his loyal little lap dog, Dan Connell, who just total 10 pounds of shit in a five-pound bag. I mean, just a total talking pile of pig shit this guy was. He used to wear IO Hawkeye ties to work. What a fucking idiot. I mean, he was just oh my god. And he only taught that way at work. And I just wanted to look at him and just be like, you know what? First of all, one of these days, I will be around to piss on your grave. That is the definite. I might not even wait till the funeral's over first. And I will call him out by name. He is he's a fucking asshole, in my opinion. I think I'm allowed to say that. The other one was Gary Shields, and he was the Nazi son of a bitch that was actually running the show. He was like cool for like a hot minute, and then like right away, like his second day there, he became a total jerk off. He really was. And he was he treated the women in the office like shit when he finally realized they weren't gonna fuck him. So there was all that. He'd make like one of those. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 23:54

So luckily, I never had like a male boss like that, but Bruce, I mean, he was a he was a gay man. You know, good looking. I I was so excited to work there. I had admired his salon for years, and then it just was like I think I told him at one point, I said, I feel like I'm the painting on the wall that doesn't go with the place, and I don't know how to fix it. And uh, because I was just like, I don't know what to what can I do to make you like me and also make me feel like I am on the right path to success of being a hairstylist.

SPEAKER_01 24:33

Like you weren't gonna get it from him, it sounds like so.

SPEAKER_06 24:36

No, he was awful.

SPEAKER_01 24:37

Yeah, I remember the one time in the three and a half years that I worked for Shit Taz, though is what I called it. I called in sick. To be honest, this was like 24 years ago. I really wasn't sick. I just wanted the day off to look for another job. They called me back, said that I needed to come in. They were gonna fire me. I had to beg those assholes to not fire me. It's like just one of those things that just makes you feel so dirty. Like thought I was gonna have to go home and take like a rape shower or something like that. It was so gross. And uh Dan Connell, this son of a bitch, looks at me and tells me that he says, Okay, you can keep your job, a few stipulations. One, no calling in sick for six months. Like, right away, if I could do it all over again, I would have called HR and been like, so a company that offers paid sick days, I just got told I'm not allowed to use them. Like me solely, I'm not allowed to use them. So maybe I should get over it because it was so long ago. Maybe I shouldn't let this guy live rent-free in my head. Unfortunately, I do because this idiot doesn't he's not thinking about me. But when that man goes, and hopefully it's very painful, I will be around to piss on his grave. And like I said, might not even wait for the funeral to be done first. I'd be like, everyone, cover the kids' eyes. I won't be long, but I have drank a shit ton of water and coffee, so maybe this might take a while. So yeah. The world would be a better place without those assholes.

SPEAKER_06 26:12

The the way I quit my job was I went in early. I set everybody station up. I, you know, put everybody's capes, did everybody's barbicide jars, you know, cleaned everybody's station, and then I went into his office and I typed up a letter that said, as of today, I am no longer an employee at Hair Beast. Good for you, you know. And then I gave it to him and he was like, What's this? Oh, he What the fuck does it look like? It's a letter of mention. And all I could say over and over was thank you for the opportunity. Thank you for the opportunity. That's all I kept saying on repeat. I was like, Thank you for the opportunity. Because if I said anything else, it was gonna be like, you know what? Fuck you, Bruce.

SPEAKER_01 26:54

That's actually probably perfect because that probably just pissed him off even more.

SPEAKER_06 26:57

Oh, yeah. He was like, I want my hair color back.

SPEAKER_01 27:02

I don't know what you're talking about. Thank you for the opportunity.

SPEAKER_06 27:05

It's just whatever, whatever. Peace out, bro.

SPEAKER_01 27:09

All right, let's get back to the movie. This is a conversation we probably should have saved for the office space episode if that if and when that ever happens, but it's already it's out there. Yeah. It's out there now for the masses, for the tens of people that are gonna hear this episode for now. All right, anyway. The men in the suits and colors assigned to them for aliases all know Joe and his son, nice guy Eddie, but do not know each other at all. They are complete and total strangers. After they finish their breakfast, they head out to go and complete their well thought out and well planned diamond heist at a high-end jewelry store. Following this, we see Mr. White speeding away with Mr. Orange, sprawled out in the backseat, covered in blood and writhing in pain from a gunshot wound to the stomach. At this point, it has become abundantly clear that the heist has not at all gone according to plan. Mr. White, obviously not able to take Mr. Orange to the hospital, takes him back to the abandoned warehouse being used as a rendezvous point. Shortly after this, Mr. Pink shows up and is and is 100% convinced that they were set up. Short time later, Mr. White tells Mr. Pink about a past job that he was working, where they found out that one of the members of their crew turned out to be an undercover cop.

SPEAKER_06 28:26

I really did not like the opening scene, the dialogue, the acting. Uh so happy with the rest of Tim Roth's performance, but that scene and dialogue was so painful.

SPEAKER_01 28:38

At the diner? No. Oh.

SPEAKER_06 28:40

In the car, yeah. Opening scene.

SPEAKER_01 28:42

It's a little rough to watch.

SPEAKER_06 28:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:44

It just uh it's a bit, yeah, it's a bit much.

SPEAKER_06 28:47

No, it was just so bad. I mean, both of them, Harvey, mm-mm. It they got better. They got better.

SPEAKER_01 28:55

I see. Well, all right. I'm kind of with you on Tim Roth in that part. I lied Harvey Keitel.

SPEAKER_06 29:01

I mean, he did a lot better, but you know, he was working with like whatever the hell Tim Roth was given at that point. So, like, you could see his struggle of dealing with Tim Roth's shit. Yeah, that's I don't know what was happening, but Tim Roth was not giving it.

SPEAKER_01 29:18

Well, especially like when they get back to the warehouse and he says, Larry, I'm fucking scared, man. Oh. Will you hold me?

SPEAKER_06 29:28

And he's just all like, yeah, you go ahead and be scared. You were what was it? You were brave enough for one day. I was like, thanks, Pops.

SPEAKER_01 29:38

Not really my strong suit to hold another man, but yeah. All right, okay. Try anything once.

SPEAKER_06 29:44

Yeah, uh, yeah. You yeah, yeah. It just nope, I don't know. Rough, huh?

SPEAKER_01 29:50

Not your cup of tea. Nope. All right. Mr. Blonde arrives at the warehouse amidst the physical altercation between Mr. White and Mr. Pink, and is clearly on Mr. White's shit list due to the fact that Mr. Blonde started shooting innocent customers and employees at the jewelry strewer store immediately after the store's alarm was tripped. I came this close to taking this ass out myself.

SPEAKER_06 30:16

Oh my god, when he shows up slurping down his fast food drink just idly by you know, standing and watching the turmoil unfold between Mr. Pink and Mr. White and like their mental breakdowns. I just I love it.

SPEAKER_01 30:28

The boys didn't stop playing so rough. Somebody's gonna start crying. Michael Madsen, Chicago boy. Well, born in Chicago anyway, so but yeah. R.I.P.

SPEAKER_07 30:39

He's uh yeah, he's such a he's such a good looking man. Right? He's such a good looking man.

SPEAKER_01 30:44

Seriously, okay. All right, right now, I know I should probably save this for later on, but you know what? We're on such a good role here. We're drinking Canadian beer, we're popping, we're clicking, we're firing on all cylinders. Who is on who's uh your celebrity crush?

SPEAKER_07 31:00

Oh, my celebrity crush? Ryan Cosling.

SPEAKER_01 31:03

Okay, hold on now.

SPEAKER_07 31:04

Duh.

SPEAKER_01 31:06

Thing is, though, she's gotta be a woman.

SPEAKER_06 31:09

Oh, gotta be a woman?

SPEAKER_01 31:10

Yeah, someone that is just all like Is that what you're getting at?

SPEAKER_06 31:13

Like uh Michael Madsen. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 31:15

Well, for me, it's Ed Harris. I don't give a shit. I have no clue.

SPEAKER_06 31:19

Ed Harris. Yeah, I know, right? He's a good looking man, right?

SPEAKER_01 31:23

Guy's like 250 fucking years old. He's still he's still a fucking stud. Like, holy shit, dude. I am not embarrassed to say it. For most men, it's like Jack Nicholson. I I totally get that. But for me, it's Ed Harris.

SPEAKER_06 31:37

Uh, I have Rachel McAdams.

SPEAKER_01 31:40

Okay. Um, we had a thing, it's over.

SPEAKER_06 31:44

Yeah, she moved on to bigger and better things. I am.

SPEAKER_01 31:48

I'm kidding. It's a joke.

SPEAKER_06 31:50

Um, mine, I'm not joking. I wished in my girl dreams. Funny stuff about you all the time, buddy. I can't think of her name off the top of my head, but uh she is I think she's French, um, but she was in the movie Inception. She was Leonardo DiCaprio's character's wife.

SPEAKER_01 32:13

Elliot Page?

SPEAKER_06 32:15

No. No kidding.

SPEAKER_01 32:17

Um, I don't know what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_06 32:19

Uh well, I mean, she's beautiful.

SPEAKER_01 32:21

If you want to IMDB it while I keep going, feel free.

SPEAKER_02 32:25

I will.

SPEAKER_01 32:25

Yeah. But honestly, on a good day, Michael Madsen would be up there, especially younger Michael Madsen from this movie. It's like, dude, holy shit. I'm 150% heterosexual, and I look at Michael Madsen in this movie and it's like, dude, brother, you got it going on.

SPEAKER_06 32:45

So Tom Hardy would be my next yeah, I can see that. And I uh yeah, Megan likes to. I love me some ShilaBeuf.

SPEAKER_01 32:52

Really? Oh, and even he's all fucked up now, though.

SPEAKER_06 32:56

And Chris Pratt. Okay. Oh god, Chris Pratt.

SPEAKER_01 33:00

Like uh, like oh um uh hurt is it hurt locker Chris Pratt or is it Zero Dark 30?

SPEAKER_06 33:07

Any, any, any parks and recreation, Chris Pratt.

SPEAKER_01 33:12

Oh, when he was all when he was all uh yeah, when he's hilarious as shit.

SPEAKER_06 33:16

And I'm like, yeah, laughing up a storm. Like dad bought it out and everything.

SPEAKER_01 33:20

And so if you like Chris Pratt, we should do a movie called Take Me Home Tonight. He's in that. It's when him and Anna Ferris are still married.

SPEAKER_02 33:28

Ooh.

SPEAKER_01 33:28

Yeah. It's kind of a cool movie. I like it.

SPEAKER_06 33:32

Alright, I gotta look this up. I forgot I'm not connected to your internet on my computer.

SPEAKER_01 33:37

Really?

SPEAKER_06 33:38

Yeah, I don't know, I it's whatever.

SPEAKER_01 33:41

Alright. Um, well, while you're doing that, I'll just go ahead and continue with my portion here. Yeah, I can go. So, Mr. Blonde has in the trunk of his car, um I have here an undercover cop, but that's not right. He has a uniform cop that he took hostage from the robbery. A cop that he plans to torture not for information, but just to plain torture for his enjoyment. Nice guy Eddie arrives and is convinced that there is no setup and takes Mr. White and Mr. Pink with him to get the diamonds that Mr. Pink has stashed. After this um after this, the torture of the cop by Mr. Blonde begins. I try to stick to the abridged version of the movie, but I feel this scene needs to be discussed.

SPEAKER_06 34:30

Yeah. Oh, sorry, I was looking up. It's Marion Goldyard.

SPEAKER_01 34:37

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah. I know her. Um, she was in a movie I really enjoy called Midnight in Paris. Yeah. Have you ever seen that?

SPEAKER_06 34:46

Uh once, but I need to see it again. Yeah, it's good. Yeah, once.

SPEAKER_01 34:50

And um, she was in Public Enemies too, which unfortunately got a bad rep. Not for me. I liked public enemies.

SPEAKER_06 34:58

All right, yeah. Uh, but back to our scene. Um what is it? Mr. Mr. Ballon begins. Yep. Yeah, and doing his thing. Uh, turning on the radio to Sweet Sounds of K Billy, voiced by, you know, comedian Steven Wright. And then the dance he does with the knife to the song stuck in the middle, taunting the cop. Love the choice. Love it. Yeah. So easy, like easily believable that he just shot up a freaking is it a bank?

SPEAKER_01 35:26

Is it oh it's uh jewelry store.

SPEAKER_06 35:28

Jewelry store. Yep. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 35:30

Jewelry store. I don't know why that word is hard for me to say.

SPEAKER_06 35:33

Well, you're you're Chicagoan. And you're talking about Michael Madsen.

SPEAKER_01 35:37

I can understand you getting a little saying a little flusher, a little hot under the call hot under the collar here. Uh Mr. Blonde, you're like charmingly evil.

SPEAKER_06 35:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 35:50

Um Tarantino just has this knack for picking maybe not the perfect song, but a great song for certain scenes.

SPEAKER_06 35:58

Yeah. Uh I love his soundtrack. I love his soundtrack. Yep. It's uh to every movie he does. I think oh I feel like Pulp Fiction is one of the first of his movies that had a actual soundtrack come out with it.

SPEAKER_01 36:12

Like no, I I used to have the Reservoir Dog soundtrack.

SPEAKER_06 36:15

There was a soundtrack to it? Okay.

SPEAKER_01 36:17

Yep.

SPEAKER_06 36:18

I mean, great, great choices. I did see in an interview one time that sometimes like he'll have a song in mind for a certain scene, and then he like builds the scene around the song to make it.

SPEAKER_01 36:31

Yeah, that that makes perfect sense. Yeah, I love it. Um, yeah, the soundtrack to Reserve uh Reservoir Dogs, the soundtrack to this movie, it's got like all sorts of clips from Steven Wright. I mean, and pretty much all the music on there.

SPEAKER_06 36:49

Killy's super sounds of the 70s.

SPEAKER_01 36:54

That was Edison Lighthouse's Love Grows Where My Rose. No, Love Goes Where My Rosemary Grows. I don't know if that's Edison Lighthouse. I can't remember.

SPEAKER_05 37:04

I used to know it from that's very good though. Yeah, it's very good.

SPEAKER_01 37:08

Where the cinematic Mick podcast just keeps on trucking. So all right. After slashing the cop's face and removing his right ear with a straight razor while stuck in the middle with you is playing in the background. Yeah, that scene's hard to watch. I didn't mind it when I was a kid, which might have worried my parents a little bit, but now it's I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 37:30

I think when you're a kid, you don't really realize like Oh, thank God you're saying that. You know, like you're just like a you just took that ear off and it's like severe, you're just like, whoa, that ear just came off, you know? And then yeah, because when I watched it, I was like, oh, like now as a 40-year-old adult, I'm just like, oh god, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 37:48

Because it's one of those things where it's like, you know what, don't worry, because in a little while it's not gonna matter much anyway.

SPEAKER_06 37:52

So I mean, yeah, because he just he saws at it too.

SPEAKER_01 37:55

The whole time he's saying he's telling him to hold still, it's like, you know, I'm just gonna hold still when you heck my ear off. It's like fuck up. Fuck you, Mr. Bond. I'm gonna make this as difficult for you as possible.

SPEAKER_05 38:05

Oh, he just got my fucking ear.

SPEAKER_06 38:07

What what is it that um I'm fucking dying?

SPEAKER_02 38:12

Shut the fuck up. I'm fucking dying here.

SPEAKER_01 38:21

Oh my god. I actually do love the banter between Marvin Nash and Freddie Neuendike. That's that's a most awful name I've ever heard. But um I do love the banter between them when he's when he tells them, well, actually, hold on, we're getting to that. Let me just put a stick a fork in that for a little bit. So anyway, after slashing the cop's face, removing his right here with a straight razor while stuck in the middle with you, is playing in the background. Mr. Blonde then goes to the trunk of his car to retrieve a can of gasoline. One can only guess what he has planned with that. This is the gasoline that he plans on using to burn the cop alive. Holy shit. He's just about to light him up, uh, despite the cops' pleas, when Mr. Orange awakes just in time from being passed out from loss of blood and empties his clip into Mr. Blonde. It is here where we find out why the cop being tortured recognizes Mr. Orange, and that is simply because Mr. Orange is the undercover cop. And there we go. I gotta maybe talk about Mr. Orange's backstory.

SPEAKER_06 39:31

Oh, yeah, the commode story uh having a whole bunch uh whole bunch of marijuana on him while like being in the bathroom with three cops and a drug dog. Classic. Just you you have to like he probably reeked, reeked of it.

SPEAKER_01 39:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 39:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 39:52

More than likely.

SPEAKER_06 39:54

Who did you just send my picture to?

SPEAKER_01 39:56

Our friend that we were talking about earlier. Oh. The one that we dedicated this episode to.

SPEAKER_06 40:00

Of course. I'll allow it. That's my Leslie talk. I'll allow it.

unknown 40:05

Allow it.

SPEAKER_06 40:06

She's a lawyer. That's right.

SPEAKER_01 40:09

Let this whole thing transpire. Show me your leadership capabilities. So it is here where we find out how Mr. Orange got shot, of course, after the whole commode story and all that, and all that that Megan just got done talking about. He did not get shot by the cops, but by an innocent bystander that him and Mr. White were attempting to carjack.

SPEAKER_06 40:29

Mm-hmm. That won't that woman said, nope, not up in here.

SPEAKER_01 40:33

I'm just gonna go ahead and get my 38 that I got right here in a car.

SPEAKER_06 40:36

You take in my car.

SPEAKER_01 40:38

Then Mr. Orange is like, oh, really? Bam! Yeah. Oh, and she and unfortunately she had a baby. Wasn't in the car with her though, so that's good. But yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 40:50

I got a baby.

SPEAKER_01 40:51

Mommy's not coming home.

SPEAKER_06 40:53

No.

unknown 40:53

No.

SPEAKER_01 40:54

Undercover cop shot her.

SPEAKER_06 40:56

Well, maybe, maybe she survived. Maybe she survived.

SPEAKER_01 40:58

No.

SPEAKER_06 40:59

Maybe. Maybe.

SPEAKER_01 41:00

No, you got her pretty much right in the heart. She's she's maybe. That is dope.

SPEAKER_06 41:04

Maybe it was to the to the right.

SPEAKER_01 41:07

Well, either way, I mean, did you see in the in the did you see her in the car after that?

SPEAKER_06 41:12

No.

SPEAKER_01 41:12

No, that means they they dragged her ass out and left her right there on the street.

SPEAKER_06 41:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 41:16

She gone.

SPEAKER_06 41:17

To live another day.

SPEAKER_01 41:18

That's right. Just give up the car. That car looked like a piece of shit anyway. Just give it up.

SPEAKER_06 41:22

What a well.

SPEAKER_01 41:23

It is oh, then again, it is LA though. So even piece of shit cars probably aren't cheap.

SPEAKER_06 41:29

I mean, yeah, you gotta imagine like how many people a day try to take your car in LA. That's true.

SPEAKER_01 41:34

That is true. That is an excellent point. So, Mr. White, Mr. Pink, and Nice Guy Eddie return to the warehouse where Mr. Orange concocts a story of how Mr. Blonde was gonna take everyone out and make off with the diamonds. Nice guy Eddie kills the cop, does not believe a word of Mr. Orange's story. He's just gonna decide out of the fucking brew to rip us off. Megan, why don't you tell me what really happened?

SPEAKER_06 42:05

That is such a good impression.

SPEAKER_01 42:07

Oh, thanks. I've been known to have a good impression time uh time or two. Yeah, that's a good thing. Um let's see here. Uh okay. Nice guy Eddie kills the cop. Just puts three slugs in him and does not believe a word of Mr. Orange's story. Joe finally arrives and is certain that Mr. Orange is the rat and is about to shoot Mr. Orange, resulting in Mr. White pulling a gun on Joe and nice guy Eddie pulling a gun on Mr. White. Gotta wonder if Quentin Tarantino likes Mexican standoffs as much as he likes feet. That's a question that we hope to answer in future episodes.

SPEAKER_06 42:45

Quentin, we would love to have you on our show. Discuss discuss this.

SPEAKER_01 42:49

I'll give him a call.

SPEAKER_06 42:50

Yeah. Have your people call call our people.

SPEAKER_01 42:53

Oh, I don't I don't have any people. Yeah.

unknown 42:57

Shh shh. Don't don't have to.

SPEAKER_01 42:59

I don't lie to my listeners, Megan. We don't lie.

SPEAKER_06 43:02

I'm your people. No, no, you're several of my personalities will be our people.

SPEAKER_01 43:06

You are my co-pilot.

SPEAKER_06 43:08

Together we're gonna get yeah, but several of my personalities will be our people. Wink wink. Oh yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 43:15

Several of your personalities, okay. But personalities, I like very very United States of Terror. Okay, let's do this. Let's roll with it. And of course, we will need legal representation. Nudge nudge, wink, wink.

SPEAKER_06 43:28

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 43:29

Hopefully she's listening. Yeah. Well, not right now. I gotta edit and I gotta go.

SPEAKER_06 43:33

Leslie, expect a call from Quentin Tarantino.

SPEAKER_01 43:36

She doesn't like you name dropping Megan. And he she's not gonna get a call from Quentin, okay? It's it's it's gonna be someone that reps him. Well I need someone that reps me. How come I don't have to?

SPEAKER_06 43:49

I don't know. I feel like he might want to like I don't know, feel us out. You know, however he goes about it.

SPEAKER_01 43:56

It's like that time I was in Vegas, right? And me and Megan, I think we were all Over at Caesars, and we saw that big ass fountain. And I was like, That guy up there, that Poseidon guy, he's got a trident. I want a trident. Why don't I have a trident? And then a friend of mine said, because you're not a god. I'm like, you know what? And I'm like, you sound like just like those narrow-minded assholes at the Parthenon, okay? There. I don't know where that came from, but once again, it's it's out there. It's there.

SPEAKER_06 44:24

Good story.

unknown 44:25

Thanks.

SPEAKER_06 44:26

You should you should tell that over cheese at another party.

SPEAKER_01 44:31

I don't know. I'm not much of a party goer, Megan. I'm more of a party ruiner.

SPEAKER_06 44:36

Did you hear me say cheese? Like what kind of it's a great party as long as there's cheese there.

SPEAKER_01 44:41

Well, green cheese is very good.

SPEAKER_06 44:42

It's a party I want to be at.

SPEAKER_01 44:44

I've had it once.

SPEAKER_06 44:45

And hopefully, not I don't feel like people will ever go really too wild around cheese, you know? So like that's a safe party to go to.

SPEAKER_01 44:52

They gotta have some oozo.

SPEAKER_06 44:54

Cheese serving party.

SPEAKER_01 44:55

Yeah, them start pounding some oozo.

SPEAKER_06 44:57

And then if they call it a chiccuterie, I'm there.

SPEAKER_01 44:59

Then they'll get crazy. Oh yeah, yeah. We're right there on that. Bam. High five.

SPEAKER_06 45:03

My husband once didn't believe that I could make a like eat a chiccuterie for dinner. And I was like, I don't need a main meal. This is this is it. The meal.

SPEAKER_02 45:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 45:14

I've been practicing my whole life with lunchables. I'm here for the full, you know, here for the game. You're in, you're committed.

SPEAKER_01 45:21

It's like when I was up in Michigan and it was uh unseasonably cool around Memorial Day. They dared me I wouldn't jump in the lake when the water was like 52 degrees. I was like, you just dared the wrong person. Jumped in there and just nothing but my jeans.

SPEAKER_07 45:38

Oh, wet jeans.

SPEAKER_01 45:40

Meh, I didn't mind. I was half in the bag anyway, so jeans. That's just like it was yeah, it wasn't great, but I didn't give a shit. I jumped in twice.

SPEAKER_06 45:50

So one good turn deserves another, and just I think the only really bad choices I ever made at parties was just vomiting.

SPEAKER_01 45:58

Been there done that too.

SPEAKER_06 45:59

Mm-hmm. Yeah. I always had a boyfriend break up with me while I was vomiting. I was like, please, mm-hmm. It's not what you think.

SPEAKER_01 46:10

What an asshole.

SPEAKER_06 46:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 46:12

You know what? Sounds like sounds like he did you a favor.

SPEAKER_06 46:15

Oh, I mean, all did he at least hold your hair back? No. What a prick. No, his friend kissed me and he got mad at me. I was like, Your friend kissed me. I pushed him away. Nice. Why are you mad at me, bro?

SPEAKER_01 46:28

Megan, you you you player.

SPEAKER_06 46:30

Yeah. One eyed Joe. One eyed Joe kissed me at a party.

SPEAKER_01 46:34

He only had one eye?

SPEAKER_06 46:35

Well, I mean, he had both eyes, but like he could only see out of one eye.

SPEAKER_01 46:39

It's like a Daniel Steele novel.

SPEAKER_06 46:41

And he had one beautiful blue eye. The other eye, he decided to get a better aim during paintball and got shot at and got shot in the eye. That's why you don't take your goggles off people.

SPEAKER_02 46:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 46:54

Mm-hmm. Safety first. Yeah. Also, I just want to throw a shout out to any charcuterie lovers. Uh, try some travel oil on your honey.

SPEAKER_01 47:04

My friend Beth Kelly loves to make uh and makes a fine charcuterie board. She's very good. I haven't seen her do um, I haven't seen her do too many uh lately, but she makes a damn fine charcuterie board.

SPEAKER_07 47:19

Oh yeah. I'd like to be friends with her.

SPEAKER_01 47:23

Let me see if I can make that happen. Have her people call your people. All right. All right. Yeah. Uh let's see here. Uh after a f after a tense few moments, Joe shoots Mr. Orange. Mr. White shoots and kills Joe and Nice Guy Eddie, but not before nice guy Eddie gets a shot off at Mr. White. Mr. White consoles Mr. Orange, telling him that they're most likely going to the joint. He says they're going to do a little time. I like to say going to the joint. It is here where Mr. Orange confesses to Mr. White that he is indeed a cop, and Mr. White realizes that he's been defending the rat the entire time and has just killed two of his friends. Mr. Pink takes off with the diamond. Smart move there, but unfortunately is more than likely gunned down by a barrage of police gunfire. The cops enter the warehouse, so you don't see them, but you only hear them. Where they find Mr. White holding a gun to Mr. Orange's head, telling him to drop the gun. Mr. White shoots and kills Mr. Orange, and the cops shoot and kill Mr. White. And one thing I do have to add in here, where Mr. Orange clearly picks the worst time to admit that he's a cop. And here we go.

SPEAKER_00 48:36

You come at motherfucker!

SPEAKER_01 48:38

That's all I gotta say about that. Alright, Megan.

SPEAKER_06 48:42

Everybody wins! You know, for his directorial debut, Tarantino Set the Tone. Um, definitely I said it before with his style, and you can see it, you know, throughout his films. Um, even Dust Till Dawn. Uh and well, Four Rooms was different, but I really liked Four Rooms. Um, but yeah. Also, his his uh his love for racial slurs is just, you know, I mean like if you're gonna get away with it in the film industry, it's where you do it. I I suppose the day we have to like talk about the movie Django, we're gonna have to talk about that very carefully.

SPEAKER_01 49:25

Cause that doesn't that hold the record for how many times it's said?

SPEAKER_06 49:31

I don't know. What would be the second um piece of shit out of me?

SPEAKER_01 49:35

I don't know. I don't I don't think about such things.

SPEAKER_06 49:38

I mean, well, no, but I would just like I would just wonder, like, would it be gosh, what's that? Um I can't think of it. It's a movie about uh slavery, and I would feel like they said it a lot in that film too. It's an older film, you know, it was like three parts.

SPEAKER_01 49:57

Roots?

SPEAKER_06 49:58

Yeah. Sorry.

SPEAKER_01 50:01

Yeah, what are you doing?

SPEAKER_06 50:02

Pulling a Megan over here.

SPEAKER_01 50:04

That's alright. This sort of thing. It happens once in a while. There we go. I I just matched you.

SPEAKER_07 50:11

Yeah. Um, but that would be my guess, but gosh, yeah, Django, they say it a lot.

SPEAKER_01 50:17

Yeah, I guess um, I think it was Leo was really, really uncomfortable saying it.

SPEAKER_07 50:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 50:22

And I guess Jamie Foxx had to look at him and just be like, grow the fuck up. We're making a movie.

SPEAKER_06 50:28

I mean, I'm sure he probably said it a lot cleaner than that, but yeah, but even like you're having to rehearse and then you're like having to like be this person and take on this character. You know, some people get so into I never thought about that.

SPEAKER_01 50:42

Yeah, you're right.

SPEAKER_06 50:43

You know, you gotta breathe it and use it as your so it comes off so naturally, so you're not like cringing every time you say it and go to say it. Like, yeah, the effort had to be there and the amount of times. That's probably why he's such a humanitarian. He's like, Oh gosh, please forgive me.

SPEAKER_01 51:02

Right. Yeah. It's it's just yeah, I I never thought about that.

SPEAKER_06 51:06

Leo would be another crush. He was my crush when I was younger.

SPEAKER_01 51:10

Well, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 51:11

Yeah. I mean I mean, I even loved him what's eating Gilbert Grape. Like, I thought his performance in that was amazing.

SPEAKER_01 51:19

You know what role that he was actually offered like a few years after that?

SPEAKER_06 51:24

Hmm.

SPEAKER_01 51:24

Dirk Diggler, Boogie Knights. Turned it down, turned it down to do Titanic, I believe. Smart move there.

SPEAKER_06 51:31

Yes, very smart move.

SPEAKER_01 51:33

Even though Boogie Nights is a great movie.

SPEAKER_06 51:34

Oh, but I loved him and Titanic.

SPEAKER_01 51:36

Everyone did.

SPEAKER_06 51:37

I loved him and Titanic.

SPEAKER_01 51:38

It's a great film. Jack.

SPEAKER_06 51:41

I would have made room for you. I'm sure. God, the amount of times that women have probably said that to him in his lifetime of like, I would have made room for you on that door. Rose was a bitch.

SPEAKER_01 51:52

You probably would have looked at him and been like, Yeah, honey, I'm not making room for you. So you've seen some of the women I've been with. You've seen some of the women I'm probably gonna be with in the future. I'm Leonardo DiCaprio. I can do anything. So all right. Uh, do you want to start off with likes or um you go ahead. All right. Um, my first one finding out Mr. Orange is the undercover cop before the end of the movie. Mr. Blonde. Um, oh shit. Never mind. Yeah, that's my it just kind of spilled in because you added in your notes here. So yes, my first one. No, no, it's all right. Um, yeah. So my first one, finding out Mr. Orange is the undercover cop before the end of the movie. That is my first like for this one. I like that. That whole wait till the end, big reveal bullshit. No, not necessary.

SPEAKER_06 52:43

Yeah. Um, I like a lot of the lines that we've talked about throughout this that you've quoted. Um, if I was a butt cowboy, I wouldn't even throw you to the posse. Which I had to like look up the lingo switcherousky for that. Um, but yeah, thought that if I just if I was a butt cowboy. Like where he gets this stuff. Um, and uh also when Mr. Blonde says, uh, you gonna bark all day, little doggy?

SPEAKER_01 53:16

Or you gonna bite?

SPEAKER_06 53:16

Or are you gonna bite?

SPEAKER_01 53:18

I used to quote this movie so much when I was about 13 years old, and people had no idea what the hell I was talking about. And I thought I sounded so cool, and I didn't.

SPEAKER_06 53:28

You probably did, but you were just ahead of your time.

SPEAKER_01 53:32

Uh you know what? Okay, fine, we'll go with that. We will go with that. That'll that'll work. Um, what about you? What do you got?

SPEAKER_06 53:41

Uh, I just I just did mine. You go.

SPEAKER_01 53:43

All right. Uh Mr. Blonde setting in motion the torture of the cop as soon as everyone leaves. I mean, he leaves no time at all. You can tell he has been waiting. Like he's he knew what he was going to do as soon as they leave that warehouse and that door shuts. He's just all like, finally. He even says, alone at last. He's like, guess what? I think I parked in a red zone.

SPEAKER_06 54:09

Yeah, riding around, listening to the sweet sounds of the 70s with DJ K. Billy, as if prepping for the sweet soundtrack to the cop's desk. Like, I mean, he had to be talking to him too. The whole time he wasn't like, Oh, can't wait. Oh, this you hear that? You know what this song's about? Probably said some fucked up reason the song is.

SPEAKER_01 54:33

Knowing full well that while he's torturing this cop, he's blowing his chance to call and win tickets to the monster truck rally featuring Big Daddy Don Bodine's truck, the Bohewemath. Love Steven Wright. We'll get to all that in a little bit. Oh, yeah. Um, all right, you're up.

SPEAKER_06 54:53

Uh Michael Madsen's um ability to morph into James Dean so easily. Uh feels like Tarantino knew that. Uh, you can see in his characters giving that vibe throughout his films. Michael Madsen just get like does it so well. And he's, I mean, he's so handsome, but he just does it so well. All he has to do is light up a cigarette, and he is like instantly James Dean.

SPEAKER_01 55:17

Yeah, exactly. I just I love it. I thought he was just the the coolest guy back in the day.

SPEAKER_06 55:25

So the movie this little squinty faces, oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 55:29

It's it's like, damn, dude. You got the black hair, you got the blue eyes, it's like yeah, yeah. You hear all the panties drop in the background, like it's like deafening as it's all happening all at once. It's like it's like, whoa, all right, okay. Michael Madsen's out and about, okay, he's out on the prowl. I get it. So, all right, so um, let's see. My next one little foreshadowing, uh little foreshadowing around the beginning. Mr. Orange telling Joe that Mr. Pink was the one that didn't throw in for a tip. It's not much on the surface, but if you really think about it, it makes perfect sense. If he's willing to rat out about that, it's like, uh, I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 56:13

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 56:14

I mean, come on.

SPEAKER_06 56:15

Well, at first he goes to take out because he's like, all right, he convinced me. Tim Roth. Yeah. He goes to like he's like, oh, he's convinced me. Leave the dollars there. And then he rats him out afterwards.

SPEAKER_01 56:30

Yeah. Um, I had to mention this one. This is not one of mine. Uh, but in the warehouse, which was an actual abandoned mortuary, the embalming room that Mr. Pink and Mr. White are in, there are bottles of what I'm assuming is embalming fluid back of there on the shelf. The pink and white ones are off to one side, and then about three to four feet off to the right, three bottles all orange, which is to kind of symbolize that like he's not with you guys. I cannot take credit for this one. I listened to the Reservoir Dogs episode from the Three Guys in a Flick podcast. If I hadn't listened to that, I wouldn't have known anything about that. But I see you have here that you noticed that.

SPEAKER_06 57:13

Yeah, I saw it too. And it was uh I can't. I went back and I watched Well, I thought it was odd. And then, like, when I was reading your notes, I was like, Yeah, they were separate. That's right.

SPEAKER_01 57:27

And I I guess according to the guys from Three Guys in Afflict, this is like a thing that Tarantino does. So now I gotta go back, I gotta watch all those movies. Yeah, let's do it and see like, okay, what am I looking for here? What did I not see all these times?

SPEAKER_06 57:42

So I love those things.

SPEAKER_01 57:44

All right. What about you?

SPEAKER_06 57:45

Oh, let's see, let's see. Oh, Tim Roth getting the cop to shut up with the which we mentioned earlier, you know, like fuck you, I'm fucking dying here. Love that.

SPEAKER_01 57:58

I love that scene.

SPEAKER_06 57:59

That is when like Tim Roth really started acting in this movie. I mean, uh you see it in his backstory, like he does really great as the cop, and like when he's telling the commode story to uh Joe Cabot and nice guy Eddie and Harvey, uh Mr. White, Larry. Um, but yeah, you you like see it throughout there, but as from dying and the passion from since he's been on this heist, that is where it began.

SPEAKER_01 58:31

Bravo.

SPEAKER_06 58:32

Way to show up.

SPEAKER_01 58:33

Although you do you do kind of notice that his American accent does kind of slip a little bit.

SPEAKER_07 58:40

It's hard to like when you're passionate, and you know, I think it's just like I once did a play.

SPEAKER_06 58:48

I mean, granted, this was high school and I was a freshman, but I did this play, it was uh we did this series of 30-minute plays, they were directed by students, all all student-led and everything. So did that, and I was trying to have a New York accent, and then I had this massive monologue, and through that monologue, I turned British, and I could not go back, and it sucked. And the next night, and that was like opening night, and then the next night I was like, nope, I'm just gonna say this normally. I'm not doing an accent because some accents are just tough. I got tongue-tied and I was like, Oh crap.

SPEAKER_01 59:32

Yeah, accents are just tough, yeah. Some are a little bit easier than others.

SPEAKER_06 59:37

So I think, yeah, Tim Tim Roth did great with his New York style, you know, gangster accent.

SPEAKER_01 59:44

Especially, I mean, because I mean, you know, you never know. In a city like New York, I mean, a Manhattan accent might be different than a a Long Island accent. I mean, I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 59:57

Yeah. I mean, you got like Arkansas Southern is way different than you know, like Georgia Southern. Yeah. Very, very different.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:06

Same thing with like Texas and Alabama.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:08

Yeah. It's just it's like you know, it's it's so interesting. Like, I went to watch this documentary on um accents and dialects and everything, and this phenomen I wish I knew his name, but this phenomenal little man, this older man, just like could he was talking about the history of dialects and where the Jamaican came from, but like different parts of England is where they came from. And that's how like the Irish, you know, and so a lot of the Pennsylvania almost sounds like with their accents, you know, have a by about of like an Irish sound to it with certain words. And so it's just as and like the southern draw with was like a British, uh, you know, from a certain area in Great Britain. It's just interesting.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:58

Yeah, yeah, that does sound interesting. Yeah, it'll tell me the name of it. I'd like to check it out.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:03

Uh I will never know the name. I'll have to like Google and dissect.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:08

I'm sure we can find it.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:09

And try to remember what I watched. We can find anything so long ago.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:13

Find the orange and pink and white bottles of emblem uh embalming fluid if we can find that.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:18

So all right.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:20

Um, whose turn is it? Is it mine?

SPEAKER_06 1:01:21

I think yours. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:22

Okay. Um, next one I have is the backstories. I just I I do uh Mr. White and Mr. Blonde's backstories are nice and quick, to the point. Obviously, Mr. Orange's has to be a little bit more detailed, a little bit more in depth. But yeah, I dug them. I used to remember thinking, like, well, how come they're not doing backstories for everybody? It'd be like a three-hour-long movie. Well, I think we don't have that kind of time.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:48

So yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:50

All right.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:51

Um, I like the Pam Greer reference, uh, because she ends up starring in Terratina's um Jackie Brown, which is another favorite I have of his.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:03

Yeah, Jackie Brown's a cool movie.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:04

Yeah, Jackie Brown is great.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:06

Michael Keaton plays uh same character in that that he did in Out of Sight, or played the same character in Out of Sight that he played in Jackie Brown. Ray Nicolette. You ever seen Out of Sight?

SPEAKER_06 1:02:18

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:19

Oh, it's a good movie.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:20

Yeah, I don't think so.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:21

Yeah. George Clooney really upped his game from sight, out of sight.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:26

Who else is in it?

SPEAKER_01 1:02:27

Uh him, Jennifer Lopez.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:29

Oh before she was like, doesn't she like go in the trunk and then like yeah, and then she as soon as he opens the trunk, she hits him.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:37

Uh no. He grabs her, they go in the trunk, they they have a moment.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:43

Yeah, there's a moment where she hits him too.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:45

And uh oh, what is it? Uh he gets out of the trunk, she's got a a handgun that he didn't know that she had, and she just starts.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:55

Yeah, because she she's a she's a cop.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:57

She's a U.S. Marshal.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:58

Yeah, that's right.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:59

Yeah, yeah, baby, I love that movie.

unknown 1:03:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:01

Dennis Farina plays her dad, another Chicago boy.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:05

So Yeah, it's been a long time since I've seen that.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:08

Yeah, it's a good one.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:10

Yeah, but I love Pam. I also love Pam Greer. So I like Pam Girl.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:15

Everyone loves Pam Greer.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:16

She's such a sexy, sexy black woman.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:19

Jackie Brown.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:21

Foxy Brown.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:22

Foxy Brown, coffee, all that stuff. Yeah, she is she is beautiful. Um let's see here. Alright, so it's it's me? Alright. Two words, one name, Michael Fucking Madsen. I first saw this movie when I was about 12 years old. I just thought he was the coolest freaking guy out there. Still do in some way. Um, I even like I said, I used to quote him when I wanted to sound tough, and I would say, You keep talking like a bitch, I'm gonna smack you like a bitch. I was 12, and quite possibly the least intimidating intimidating thing you've ever seen.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:00

I I love that line. I also can see how this movie shaped use after knowing you've I can see how good fellas shaped use too.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:08

You know it.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:10

Oh, yeah, for sure.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:11

All right, you're up.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:12

Uh, I think that was my last. Oh, yes. Um, I do like that we don't see the heist, and that in this movie is the direct aftermath of the heist. I I love that. I just love that choice. I like how he did that, we jumped to it, you know, and it's just like you start with this crazy topics of conversation at dinner at breakfast, and then it's all of a sudden, ah, mayhem.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:42

Yeah, yeah. As in what was going to go so well, just yeah, no, sorry. This is not it's it's it's not your day, kid.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:52

Yeah, so I like that he opened that door because I feel like movies have kind of taken that, you know, down the line later on.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:59

Couldn't couldn't tell you a movie that I'm thinking of right now, but and I guess that is kind of a part of Tarantino's directing style. It's like certain things are just led up to the imagination.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:11

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:12

Yeah, you know, make them what you want to be. I guess he said in Pulp Fiction where everyone has these theories of what's in the briefcase, and I guess he just said he's like, it is what you want it to be. What do you want it to be? Make make that aspect of the movie your own.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:29

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:30

Even though it's a freaking masterpiece.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:32

Did he I can't remember, did he do a briefcase thing too and uh kill Bill?

SPEAKER_01 1:05:38

That's a good question. I don't think so.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:43

Okay. I don't know. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:49

Alright. Um let's see. Um my next one they had the Komodo story scene with the LA County shares. I'm gonna shoot you. In the face. You don't put your hands on the fucking dash. And his girlfriend is real sexy Oriella bitch. He's like, Charles, Charles, what are you doing? Listen to the officer. Stupid fucking citizen has no idea how close he came to getting taken out. That close. The hairdry. And then after that, the uh let's get a taco scene. I love all that. That whole scene right there. When you're dealing with a store like this, they're insured the ass. So if you get a manager or an employee, or no, that's um yeah, managers know better than to fuck around. But if you get one and thinks he's Charles Bronson, take the butt of your n uh take the butt of your gun, smash her nose in. Nobody says fucking shit out of that. He falls to the ground, blood scoring all over the place. Might get some bitch talk static to you, but give her a look like you're gonna smash her in the face next. Watch her shut the fuck up. And then of course the whole thing that cut cut his little finger off and tell him his thumbs next. After that, I'll tell you if he wears ladies' underwear or not. Alright, you got some notes here. I'm gonna give you the mic, so.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:02

Oh, I mean my notes were more of like into the dislikes. Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:08

Well, let's get to that then.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:10

Alright, uh I mentioned it earlier, but the opening scene Mr. Orange and Mr. White. Yeah, that whole scene was just awful. Overacting by both, but mainly Tim Roth. But I just wanted it more believable. So I wasn't a fan of that part.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:32

Okay, um dislike. And that's fine. That's your age. This country that you have the God given right to have that opinion. Um I respectfully disagree. I don't think it was overacting on Tim Roth's part. Um I'm not at all bashing your opinion. I'm just saying, I mean, we've never been shot in the gut before.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:54

So let's let's ask our fans a question. You can email us. Mick will give you the email. Email us and uh let us know what you think. If it is it overacting, is it not overacting?

SPEAKER_01 1:08:06

Excellent idea.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:09

You know, when did you feel like it picked up in the movie? Let us know.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:13

That's an excellent idea. Didn't even think about that. Yeah, gotta give it to you on that one. Yeah, let us know what you think. Um my first, and I I don't have a lot of dislikes, honestly. I enjoy this movie so much. No backstory for Mr. Pink. I think he's in the movie quite a bit. I think they could have worked up a small one for him. I mean, what you know, maybe they we could have gotten a reason as to why he doesn't tip. I mean, I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:40

Oh, he gave us the reason. Oh yeah. So waitressing is subpar and beneath him. Get a real job. Yeah. It the but you know what's funny is like the the waitress talk is almost how people would talk about strippers. You know, like just the the level that he saw.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:02

I mean, I guess that's a profession that you you did not work in.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:05

No, I did not work, but but it is very very funny that it it just kind of coincides with kind of what people would have a discussion about too. Like, is stripping a job not job? Oh, it's a job. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:19

It's a job. It's not it's not a job for everyone.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:22

No, it's not a job for everyone. I mean God bless you women for putting putting yourselves out there like that. Some unfortunate circumstances have led to for some people to do it, but those other people who do it because they love it, good for you.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:39

Yeah, hey, no judgment here. I mean, like I said, it's uh yeah, that's a that's a professional, right?

SPEAKER_06 1:09:47

No, I well it's a pain gig. I knew a girl that I went to high school with that she ended up being uh a dancer at a club.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:54

So an erotic dancer, not a stripper, but an erotic dancer.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:57

An erotic dancer. Okay, I mean I guess she would take some stuff off.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:04

Oh, so occasionally kept it classy.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:07

Um but yeah, they were topless until the till the cops came and then they were oh boy. Then they weren't topless for a while.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:16

I see. From the fringes of the law there a little bit. Oh yeah. All right. Um so is it you or is it or did you just Oh I I mean, let's see, I can give you I can give you a dislike. Let's hear it.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:30

Um, let's see. I needed more from Mr. Blue.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:33

I think we all needed more from Mr. Blue.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:35

Like, why was he even there? Why, why?

SPEAKER_01 1:10:37

He had he had like something like three lines in the entire movie.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:41

I mean, dark and or not dark, uh like mysterious and um quiet. Uh sure we can believe that he shot up the place with Mr. Blonde.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:53

I mean, yeah, we can you can believe that. No, but I just think that if I would have just taken that character off. Right. I think if he were going crazy like Mr. Blonde, then Mr. White would have said something about that. But it sounds like Mr. Blonde's the only one that went apeshit. I mean, he just started taking people out. So, like Mr. White says, the choice between choice between doing 10 years and taking out some stupid motherfucker ain't no choice at all. But I ain't no madman either. And what the fuck was Joe thinking? So all right. Um my second and last dislike, Mr. Orange putting on a wedding ring before and going to the meeting. I have no idea what that's about.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:40

I I thought that was weird too, but maybe a nod to him having a moment that he might not make it. You know, like he's about to go on this heist and he might not make it. So he if he dies, he's gonna die with his wedding ring on.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:54

Oh, yeah. The LAPD severely dropped the ball on this whole thing. We find that out when he's talking to Marvin Nash when he's he said there's about three dozen cops waiting about a block away, and Marvin just goes, What the fuck are they waiting for? He's like, you know what, Marvin? Exactly. That's a great question. What the hell are they waiting for? Yeah. Like two of their guys in there are one is really messed up, and they're let's face it, they're both about to die. And it's like, no, we can't. We can't. We we gotta wait until Joe Cabot sticks his big bald head through that door.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:27

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:28

All right, so that's my last dislike.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:30

So yeah, that was uh, I don't have any more. Do you have any more? Nope.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:34

All right, so let's go to a little bullshitting from the back lot. Go ahead and kind of start getting to the point where we gotta wrap this up.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:42

First one up. Quentin Tarantino added the opening diner scene so that Mr. Blue could have some lines. Originally he had none. What's special? Taking you back and suck your dick? I'd go over 12% for that. Wouldn't we all, nice guy Eddie? Wouldn't we all?

SPEAKER_07 1:13:00

Yeah, Mr. Blue.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:02

Uh that's what that's what nice guy Eddie says. You might go over 12% for that. It's like, excuse me, mister excuse me, Eddie, 20% is standard. Yeah. 25% is classy.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:12

Yeah. Uh the budget was so low for this film that the actors were mostly the wore mostly their own clothes, and the suits were provided for free by the designer due to her love for the American crime filled genre. Buscemi and Ross wore their own black jeans instead of the suit pants.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:31

Armani or nothing. That's my rule. That's my rule. It's gotta be Armani or nothing at all.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:36

I you know, nowadays, so like if you have a new director or whatever, it's usually trying to do some kind of special effects, I feel. So a lot of those flops or whatever happen nowadays, you know, using AI or kind of like not really tying the story together. Right. But like these moments where you have a director that's starting out in Hollywood and you have a film like this come out, and you know these little backstories of like it's a low budget, but people like the film and they want to be a part of the project, and they're loving the film, and that's what they're trying to go for. Uh, love those, love those films, love films like that, love stories like that. Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:21

Yeah, I totally agree with you on the whole thing with the wardrobe. That uh tracksuit jacket, that nice guy that he's wearing. Yeah, that was Chris Penn's. That was his personal jacket.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:32

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:33

All right. Next one up, Mr. Blonde's real name is Vic Vega, and he is the brother of Vincent Vega, who is John Travolta's brother or John Travolta's character in Pulp Fiction. There was a film planned for the both of them to star in, but was ultimately scrapped. And apparently when Quentin Tarantino uh scraps the project, it stays scrapped. It was, I think it was supposed to be called like Double V for Vega or something like that.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:02

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:03

No. It's a shame. I would have. No, I think good choice on Tarantino's part. Yeah. You don't think it would have been good? No.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:11

I would have given it a shot. Can you honestly say there's a Tarantino movie you don't like?

SPEAKER_06 1:15:18

Uh who did he do uh Grindhouse with?

SPEAKER_01 1:15:30

Oh, I know what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:32

Yeah, I just I can't remember. His his Rodriguez or Yeah, some somebody Rodriguez.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:39

Yeah, Robert Rod Rodriguez.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:41

Yeah, I think Robert Rodriguez.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:42

Sounds about right.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:43

Uh I wasn't a huge fan of Grindhouse.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:45

No?

SPEAKER_06 1:15:46

No.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:47

Not uh not even is that um that's the one with Kurt Russell, right?

SPEAKER_06 1:15:51

In the Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:52

The the Deathproof car?

SPEAKER_06 1:15:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:54

But only to get the real advantage, you really gotta be sitting in my seat.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:57

Yeah, Death Proof and Grindhouse.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:59

Yeah, yeah. Didn't like it, huh? One year thing?

SPEAKER_06 1:16:03

No.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:03

Alright. That's fine. Alright, what do you got?

SPEAKER_06 1:16:07

Um at around 59 Mins. Mins. Mins. Michael Madsen had difficulty filming the torture scene due to his strong adversion of violence. He was particularly reluctant when he was required to hit actor Kurt Baltz. When Baltz adlived that he had a child at home, Madsen, who had just become a new father himself, was so disturbed by the idea of leaving a child fatherless that he almost couldn't finish the scene.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:35

I've heard that too.

SPEAKER_06 1:16:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:37

It's gotta be so hard when you know you can play someone who's damn near ruthless, but in reality, you're a big teddy bear. I personally cannot relate to that at all. Bullshit. I can really I can relate to that 100%. A lot of people I got I got called a gorilla last night. I got compared to a damn gorilla last night. That's twice in like the past few months, and someone's called me a damn gorilla. But in reality Wasn't your wife? One was one was my wife, yes. And the other was a friend. Apparently, I lumber around like a freaking gorilla.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:09

I call my husband an ogre.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:11

Oh I mean, I realize I I've been called intimidating before only because of my size. And it's like, you know, they're like, no, you're not intimidating like that. It's like when you walk into a room, who's not gonna notice me walking into a room? And a lot of people would think, like, oh, don't piss this guy off. It's like as if you could. I'm like a giant teddy bear. I'm like those really big teddy bears that nobody leaves with uh from the carnivals and shit.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:37

So yeah, I'm a I'm a slap and run type of girl. Yes. Yeah, I mean, I can shit talk and be in your face like I'm gonna hit you, and hopefully you believe it so you leave me alone. But if if it comes to it, I'm gonna hit you real good and I'm gonna take out running.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:56

Yeah. Running to me sounds like a bit of a nightmare.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:01

So I just decide just to really Oh yeah, it's gonna suck, but hopefully my adrenaline kicks in and I just fly.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:09

I personally detest violence. I have no need for it. Yeah. But even though boxing is one of my favorite sports, I don't consider that violence. I consider that a combat sport.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:18

That is a combat sport, and it's I mean, it's footwork. I feel like it's uh some boxing matches can be like a really good dance. Like it's a really, really good dance.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:27

Boxing's a martial art. So what I consider violence, I consider two fucking idiots, two drunken idiots in a bar being all like, well, hey, you let's fight all of them fighting words. Let's get it on. That's violence. Yeah, I don't like it. Yeah, it's not for me. All right.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:43

Uh I don't start none, but there won't be none.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:46

Exactly. All right, you're up.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:49

Oh, let's see. What else do I have? Um, Tim Roth sat in the fake blood so long sometimes that it dried and he would have to be peeled off the floor like a band-aid.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:01

Can only imagine that. Yeah, I guess uh Tarantino would have kind of floated the idea of having like a like a doll or something like that. Just to kind of Roth was just all like, no, I'm good. Gonna sit here in this, you know, red dyeing corn syrup and yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:16

And take a nap. And if I wake up, you know, it's just in character.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:20

If I fall asleep and all of a sudden I can't move, just go get an ice scraper and just pry my ass up. I'm good. Let's do this, let's rock and roll. All right. Um, let's see here. My next one to Quentin. It's not about dick, it's about love. Was the message Madonna sent to Tarantino in reference on his thoughts on Like a Virgin? So it's really not about some John Holmes motherfucker that's like, whoa, baby, he's like straight up digging tunnels. He's like Charles Bronson and The Great Escape. Another Charles Bronson reference, too, in one movie.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:55

Oh, yeah. He's like, you know. I feel like didn't we have some Charles Bronson references in our like I don't know. I just feel like I'm hearing Charles Bronson a lot.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:06

What's the problem? It's like Charles Bronson should be referencing every day of our lives. True, true. Um, but I think we all wanted to do our own little death wish.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:17

Maybe it's also just because I just watched the movie and heard it so many times in the movie or twice. But um, yeah, it's like when you learn your what kind of car your friend drives, you see that car everywhere. And so now I'm just like, Did you say Charles Bronson?

SPEAKER_02 1:20:33

Again?

SPEAKER_06 1:20:33

It's like the doctor's office, Charles Bronson. I'm like, whoa, I can't get away from this.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:38

It's like that guy has got everything to do with everything. So be like Charles Bronson. If you can't be like Charles Bronson, be like George Hamilton. Apparently, George Hamilton at 12 years old had already slept with his stepmother. Clearly, he can do anything.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:54

All right. Tarantino originally wanted to be-like how you just you just disregarded that.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:58

Like, okay, no, all right. Moving on. Okay, like that was weird.

SPEAKER_06 1:21:01

Tarantino originally wanted to be Mr. Pink, and the only way he would let Buscemi have it was if he did a killer audition, which he did. The dialogue of Mr. Pink is so Tarantino, though. Like, I could just see how he wrote that for himself. But like all great movies, it would have been different.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:20

Yep. Totally agree. Uh, let's see here. What do I got? Um, okay. Allegedly, Lawrence Tierney was arrested on a day off from shooting for pulling a gun on his nephew. Yes, and was taken to the set from his arraignment. It's like, gangster, all the way.

SPEAKER_06 1:21:42

Yeah, when I met acting. When I read that, I well, huh? And you know, just you never know. You never know what these Hollywood folk oh my god. Never know. So weird. Like, you know, Tarantino. I don't care what it costs to get him out of jail, get him here for this movie. We'll bail him out and we'll just how it went for you, Quentin, Mr. Tarantino. Which do you prefer? Do you prefer Q Dog? Uh T Dog? QT? Yeah, QT. What do we want to what would you like me to call you when you come into our office? And we'll we'll find out.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:20

We'll find out eventually when he's here.

SPEAKER_06 1:22:22

Yes. Let us know.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:24

That that would be a freaking trip right there. If he just like denies everyone else an interview, but he he sh he agrees to show up here.

SPEAKER_06 1:22:32

I'm gonna give these, you know, this little dinky town podcast.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:36

Well somebody shows up at my door and it's like you're not a look alike, right? I'm like, you're like the guy.

SPEAKER_06 1:22:44

Yeah. I might say um a lot if he's here. Just want to prepare everybody. Oh, yeah, yeah. We can start it, in fact, you know, probably if if that day ever comes and Mr. Tarantino graces us with his presence, and we can ask him tons of questions because I have lots. Um, if you want a preview of those questions, Mr. Tarantino, I can send that over to your people. I'll have my people send it over. And uh yeah. Let's make it happen. Mm-hmm. But ah, I think this needs to happen. Remember, you know, just give us a chance.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:16

All right, looks like we've uh we each have one left for a little bit of bullshitting on the back lot.

SPEAKER_06 1:23:23

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:24

Yeah, you're up.

SPEAKER_06 1:23:24

Oh yeah. Okay, sorry. When I look at you and sorry, I was I was just thinking about Quentin right here. I'm gonna write him a song.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:33

Okay, come on, get used to the show.

SPEAKER_06 1:23:34

The movie has been in the top ten heist movies, even though you've never seen the heist.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:39

That is an excellent point. I never thought about that either. But yes, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:23:43

That's all right.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:44

Terrific heist movie, and yeah, you're right.

SPEAKER_06 1:23:46

From the bullshit I got for you.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:48

Alright, I got I got one more. So apparently, Lauren Searney was a bit of a nightmare to work with in the beginning by being distracted and forgetting lines. He was even fired a third day, but rehired after cooler heads prevailed. I can see that. Yeah, I I've I heard that that he was uh a little bit of a pain in the ass.

SPEAKER_07 1:24:10

I I mean I could see it now.

unknown 1:24:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:13

All right. Uh, usually I have some questions. I don't have any questions for you. I do have to say, I do have to tell this quick story, which is not really my strong suit. So I'm a senior year in high school, right?

SPEAKER_06 1:24:23

I'm a senior in high school violin to let you know when to wrap it up.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:27

Play that world's tiniest violin. So I'm a senior in high school. This is spring of 99, like a month or two away from graduating. I'm doing co-op, right? So work in the morning, go to school in the afternoon. Senior year was a freaking breeze. Well, towards the end of the year, we're all seniors, like I said, been getting ready to graduate. And on Fridays, we would go and visit everyone in the class where they worked. One dude worked at a local taco house establishment. So we just went there for lunch. It's like a class of like 32 kids coming in here, okay? Split between two tables. That's one server for our table. Let's just say 16 kids. No one is picking up the tab, we all pay for our own. That's 16 separate tickets. This poor woman has got to write up. And I know her personally. I mean, I'm more friends with her young um her younger sister, but I also know her. Sure enough, she brings us our ticket, we all pay, and it's like, all right, cough up a buck or two for for a tip. I'm sitting next to this kid, and this kid, real fucking asshole, literally says, I'm I'm looking at him and I'm like, let's go. Come on, cough up a buck or two for a tip. And he sits there and he goes, I don't tip. And of course, I I couldn't resist. I'm like, what do you mean you don't tip? I don't believe it. You don't believe in it. And I was sitting there, of course, and I'm like, You have no idea what you're talking about. This is a hard job. It's the it's basically the the job any woman can get without a college education and make a living on. The reason is because of their tips. Let's just say he didn't he didn't give in, he didn't cave. But I tried to reenact this entire scene verbatim, but I wasn't even joking around. I was like legitimately pissed off with this guy. I'm just like, what the f I was like, you cheap bastard, cough up a couple bucks. So I think I put in a little bit extra for him. I was like, you cheap son of a bitch.

SPEAKER_07 1:26:29

Oh, I don't know what it is. Sounds like a loser.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:34

You have no idea. This guy's a real fucking put.

SPEAKER_06 1:26:38

I did love like Steve Boucemi playing Mr. Pink and having this thought process because it is so Steve Boucemi to not believe in something, all of his characters throughout his repertoire. It's just like he never believes in something.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:55

Do you ever notice how when they're all coughing up money for the tip and he's just sitting there and he's just kind of like doing that little scratch underneath his chin?

SPEAKER_06 1:27:03

Because he can't wait to talk about it of why he doesn't believe in this.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:07

He's just so cavaliered. It's like, this is a this is a hard job. So he's working at McDonald's, but no one feels the need to tip them. But no, society says, tip these guys over here, but don't tip these guys over here. It's fucked up.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:18

I love Steve Pushemi so much. He can be annoying and lovable at the same exact time. I just love him so much. I know, I'm I'm a big fan too.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:28

So so yes, that is a story, and I think that is maybe one of the very few times I've told the story and actually told it quick. So, you got anything else you want to add, or should we go on to the Manhattan scale?

SPEAKER_06 1:27:40

The Manhattan scale.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:41

How many Manhattans does this movie get, or your drink of choice? In this case, it could be Molsons, could be Gin and Tonics, could be, you know, Fuzzy Navels, Pink Squirrels, could be tequila sunrises. I don't really give a shit. Could be six cups of coffee.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:56

I am gonna do white Russians and a very big Lebowski of you. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:02

Uh and careful, man, there's a beverage here.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:05

I am going to give it 3.6.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:14

Okay. Yeah. I gave it 3.75. So we're pretty much Sympatico.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:20

Yeah. I loved it, but Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:24

Not the perfect movie, but I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:27

I loved Pulp Fiction more.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:30

Oh, yeah. What's your favorite Tarantino movie?

SPEAKER_06 1:28:33

Pulp Fiction.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:34

Pulp Fiction, yeah. Um I think Mines and Glorious Bastards.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:37

Uh I was gonna say that's probably the second I love. And um uh Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:45

Yep.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:47

That's a really good one too. Me and Megan did that one.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:49

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:51

All right. Yeah, anything else? No, nothing. I say I I just I just don't want to cut you off, bud. No. That's all.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:58

Oh, trust me, I will butt in. We know this about me, right?

SPEAKER_01 1:29:01

Oh, yeah, that's true.

SPEAKER_06 1:29:02

That's true.

SPEAKER_01 1:29:03

I couldn't cut you off if I tried. Well, you glorious Megheads and Megheads, it is time for our least favorite part of this podcast.
