Kindergarten Cop (1990)

Hell yeah

Will See

Oh snap those Dominic twins were in Twinsitters w/ the Barbarian Brothers!

Steve S.

That maybe got the biggest laugh of Ryno’s entire run from me

CokeHawk

Not on board with this take. Raiders, the Rockys, Terminator, Karate Kid are all great episodes right off the top. Thought Superman was great too

CokeHawk

They got the meats.

Hammerthrust Von Sexron

counterpoint: nah

Donnie Danko

4 quadrant movie!

Dave McM

They’re all I know the film for…

Dave McM

Terminator 2 is a great episode and the gift that kept on giving. Your take is dead.

Hack Burton

Gonna have to go to 23rd ave and get a Sal Kris and Charlies

Vinnie Spano

Absolutely!

Coconut Banger

I like how Stanger was saying that he "thought" there "might be" some sultry scenes in that movie. We've all seen the clips of Sherilyn Fenn in that movie.

Coconut Banger

I saw them live in 1998. It was an experience

Gape Ape

So, was it your dad that was on America's Most Wanted?

Swimfan69

Typically the better the movie is, the more straightforward and less entertaining the ABZ episode is, and this one followed that trend.

one of my whole family's favorite movie, we watched it A LOT. very excited for this one

Ryan Michael Liston

Rodgers talking about how rookie mustache wearers talk about their mustaches all time. Proceeds to talk about his mustache for 5 minutes.

Ser Linksalot

They don’t mean us. Keep on dm sliding.

Hammerthrust Von Sexron

2323 23rd Ave. On the corner of 23rd Ave and 23rd street. If you see 23rd lane you’ve gone too far.

Action Boyz will never recover from this

Kevin Alexander

Got 'em.

Michael Pemulis

When Arnold has the milk mustache you can see on his desk that he poured his milk into a glass

Tigerman McCool

T+57:10 - "So we get some opening credits,"

Steve

Yeah that got the biggest laugh of the episode from me. Just really silly and funny as hell.

Scott Tammel

Glad to see Branscombe Richmond getting so much love recently. Here is a tribute from Massachusetts' all time worst band on their best album, I Like It When You Die: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0NEjqcuGmk

Mr. Mister Bungle

“wait ‘till after the Super Bowl shit-head.” That one got me. Great episode. Later.

Thicc Nolte

It’s the best

Wadi

Um um Gabrus …..do you think when Crysp is trying to but the toy for 200 dollars, that gave Arnold the idea for jingle all the way

John McClane

The sister is mentioned in Weird Science. That's why his parents are out of town, he says they're visiting her fiance. 0/everyone find this interesting

As one who posts with my full name, I've never sent an unsolicited DM. But feel free to solicit me!! I have such wonders to show you!!

Shawn W Savage

Richard Portnow at 70 looks better than I did at 25.

James Jameson

I live in Astoria, Queens

Vinnie Spano

lol.

Irvin

Hey all you friendly folks from Astoria are you sure you want to keep telling ABZ listeners what a nice place it is? Is this a demographic you want to encourage?

Joe B

I just spent a week with people from Iowa. They kept saying “Oreygun” and had to correct them. To get back at them I kept asking about Iowa State (they are all Iowa alum).

Perla X. Caballero

Astoria, Oregon didn’t suffer much from the wildfires of 2020 but did see some vegetation and trees get sun burn from being so hot during the heat wave in June. I was in Portland and it reached 116 degrees at the peak. I didn’t have ac in my kitchen area and cans of seltzer water exploded. Astoria is a beautiful town to visit. Lots of trees, lots of views of the ocean, and many movie spots.

Perla X. Caballero

Astoria is a sleepy sailor town. About 10-12k residents. Tourist town in the summer, extremely dreary and rainy in the winter. Definitely worth taking a weekend in, especially if it's the Fisher Poet's festival. A gathering of salty and weird fishermen spinning yarns. I know a few people who made some good cash making films in Astoria (TMNT 3, Free Willy, etc). You guys were talking about cheap beach towns to check out, Astoria area is definitely one to go to. I have considered retiring or moving there often.

Filthy Phillips

The Right Stuff? Isn’t that a movie about cocaine?

Bob Brown

Is stanger or bang drizzt?

MB

Arnold's beard looks like when Beavis cut his hair off and glued it to his face.

Gil Slits

Was reminded of the insane fact that Goldblum and Davis made The Fly before Earth Girls Are Easy. 3 out of 3 ABz found this interesting.

Jesse Crap

And The Right Stuff as Drunk Audiobook Reader’s wife.

Jesse Crap

Had my bachelor party in Astoria a couple years back and visit quite a bit. It’s an awesome place. There is an annual Fisherman’s Poetry Festival in the late winter that is a blast.

Eric Leibbrandt

For a bit of my youth I always thought Richard Tyson quit Hollywood to become Raven in ECW/WCW

From Parts Unknown

*ABZ listener voice* You may recall she played Kurt Russell’s wife in The Best of Times, which also starred Robin Williams. She would eventually play Williams’ ex-wife in the 1990 comedy Cadillac Man.

Bob Brown

I’ve now been programmed that anytime I say or hear “what else” I start laughing thinking of the stand up sets of Yoda, Dar or Gwildor.

IssaHotdogaSandwich

I just watched Cadillac Man because it was added to Showtime this month. She's great in that movie

Mijo

I moved to Los Angeles in 2008 and for the first couple years lived in West LA and I definitely ran into Richard Tyson in Santa Monica too. Q's seemed to be his spot but I'm pretty sure I saw him at Sonny's on 26th and Wilshire too. He's had his run ins with the law but man, he was definitely a real booze hound to the point where you could tell he had some serious addiction issues. As an aside I remember being at Sonny's on Wilshire and me and some guys were at the bar and Jason Patric was at the bar and I was like "damn thats cool" and then in walks Robin Wright and she sits down with him and they are chatting and I was like "HOLY SHIT!" It was a real welcome to LA moment for me.

Scott Tammel

Gabrus is my Wulfgar

bloodflart

Never seen a fireman with a pony tail and huge suit

Nice

PizzaCrustPunk

It used to drive me crazy growing up, but now I find it funny when people pronounce Oregon the wrong way. It has come all the way around.

Irvin

I probably watched this movie dozens of times as a kid. I was mildly surprised how much I enjoyed it this time around. Arnold is genuinely funny and the kids are really cute.

Dan Mayhugh

You guys probably would’ve received 30 passes if they had mistaken him for an Unsolved Mysteries perp.

Bob Brown

I LOVE the First Law books so much. Gabrus is my only Logen Ninefingers, Stanger is Jezal, Rodgers is Caul Shivers

MB

Pamela Reed is the best female character actor of the era. The Best of Times, Cadillac Man and Kindergarten Cop are fun weekend TV movies and she's great in all of them. And she did voice work on Ken Burns' Civil War documentary.

Bob Brown

Odette Annable was also in Banshee. She played Nola Longshadow.

Pod Ween Satan

Man I miss America's most wanted. That show terrified me as a kid

Mijo

“Two Moon Junction” — still a hot Skinemax movie today. I recommend it for Shadow Wolves.

Paul

So I took a trip up to Astoria Oregon early this summer. Right as everything was opening and right before the fires. They filmed parts of Kindergarten Cop up there, alomg with the Goonies, Free Willy, Point Break and TMNT 3

The Great Jizzard of 76'

As a child, I would have paid anything to get a sandwich from a vending machine like that.

Hammerthrust Von Sexron

Very excited about this pick! My childhood was completely defined by this movie and The Sandlot. And pants shitting - an incredible amount of pants shitting.

Gabbagoon

I also remembered his beard as bad ass when watching this as a kid. I was completely waiting to see it again like Rodgers and then he came on the screen in HD and I was like, oh…that’s just glued on hair clippings

Sam Riebesehl (Reeb-Uh-Shell)

Me too

bloodflart

Janitor closet locked, lasers in place. I can now listen in peace.

Frank Morris

Visited there a month ago. Awesome community. Got my Goonies T.

tom welge

Met Richard Tyson at Qs in Santa Monica in 2009. Since I’m a huge fan of 3 O’Clock High we talked about that and the DP Barry Sonnefeld. The lead in 3 O’clock High Casey Siemaszko is in the Back to the Future trilogy as the 3D glasses wearing guy in Biff’s crew. Anywho Tyson was super super nice.

Paul Perez

Holy shit got so excited when I seen this. My life is a mess. Thanks

One of my most memorable theater going experiences as a kid, and not because of the actual movie. This was my family’s Christmas Day movie in 1990. We were about 30 minutes in when an usher came and asked my dad if he could come with him, leaving my brother, mom, and me alone. He was gone for a long ass time and showed back up when Dominic is trying to get the ferret at the end. My mom is all “where have you been?” And my dad says he will tell us after the movie. So we are leaving the theater and he tells us that two teenage girls had told the theater manager that my father was a man that they’d seen on America’s Most Wanted and so they called the cops and he had spent an hour talking to the police while they ran background checks on him. The plus side was we got something like 20 free movie passes as well as some popcorn and drink vouchers out of the whole thing because the theater was so apologetic.

Justin Robinson

Astoria is amazing, it still has the same coastal village vibe from Goonies and KC. Between this, Short Circuit and Goonies, it was becoming the place for PG-13 movies for awhile.

Adam Ross

I realized watching this that all my memories of it are from Cop and a Half.
