Upsetting Day: The Over the Top Podcast đ
Added 2020-10-16 12:01:01 +0000 UTC
Happy Upsetting Day! Hopefully youâre not upset that youâre getting a podcast instead. Today we discuss the important and oft-overlooked movie genre: Over the Top.
Now, I know what youâre saying: âThatâs not a genre, thatâs a movie! A great movie! You are not the men to bring it low!â
And youâre right. So we contacted Jason âDavid Wongâ Pargin for backup. Heâs known as the âalternate thumb positionâ of podcasting, and today we finally find out why. Weâre not here just to make fun of Sylvester Stalloneâs wild misunderstanding about the importance of armwrestling in modern society, weâre here to make fun of its entire legacy: from The Wizard to Road House, from Twister to the Huey Lewis/Gwyneth Paltrow classic⊠Duets? Yes, Duets! We make fun of Duets! We dare.
Haha, thatâs the poster for Over the Top?!
Haha, thatâs the poster for The Wizard?!
Haha thatâs the poster for Duets?!
Haha thatâs the poster for Road House?!
Twister is beyond reproach.
I also once again defend my title as âMost Losingest Competitorâ in Seanbabyâs Book Game! Guess how it goes! Hey, fuck you. Maybe it goes well this time.
It⊠it doesnât.
And remember, Jasonâs here promoting his new book: Zoey Punches the Future in the Dick. I have read this book. All the way to the end. Yes, I know youâre proud of me and I appreciate that, but I mention it because I know the book is fantastic. Itâs funny, thrilling, stupidly hilarious, and also subtly, cuttingly relevant. I donât know how he pulled all that off, but he really did. Itâs sort of Idiocracy for the Elon Musk generation. Itâs sort of cyberpunk for the TikTok generation. Itâs funny and itâs deep and itâs compelling and itâs satire and itâs a book! You read those!
While youâre here, please remember weâre still just starting this podcast. It really helps if you like and subscribe to The Dogg Zzone 9000, and it helps immensely if you review it. Try to mention how big our dicks sound!

1. My son has autism, Brockway your use was not offensive at all. It was the 80s super power. 2. My wife was once "approached" by a K-couple at a bar. 3. I just ordered both Zoe books. 900. That new theme is the essence of what makes the HOTDOG so mighty, it was hilarious.

2020-10-17 13:06:16 +0000 UTCI actually love how lame Patrick Swayze's dialogue is in Road House. It's such a great character detail. Here's this guy who's surrounded by people that throw around golden one-liners all the time, and he just absolutely can not keep up. In the rare instance where he says something halfway-creative like "pain don't hurt" or whatever, you get the impression he's just repeating something Wade Garrett said and doesn't even necessarily understand what it means. He can study philosophy and read classic literature all he wants, but he's never going to be the guy with the clever comeback. He really is just good at one thing. It's such a great detail that I'm convinced the only reason it didn't get cut is that Swayze and the producers never picked up on it.
