But Snake Plissken is the ultimate personification of Carpenter's anti-authoritarian sensibilities.

2025-01-13 10:12:09 +0000 UTCHappy that you guys appreciated Escape from LA. I've always been a defender of this misunderstood Carpenter flick, and even told him to his face during a Dutch convention that I considered it 'underrated'. I even have a tattoo of Escape from New York but using the final line of LA- 'Welcome to the Human Race'. Truly one of the greatest final lines of cinema.

2025-01-13 09:55:00 +0000 UTCStill think you guys should talk about Saturday Night in a catch up. It’s not amazing but definitely a bit better than I expected. I have a feeling you guys would have some interesting things to say about it!

2025-01-08 17:35:28 +0000 UTCCorrect Kurt hiatus ended with the Elvis mini series directed by John Carpenter, which fun fact about that Kurt has been on screen with Elvis at the 1964 World's Fair, at the same time a young Michael Eisner met Walt Disney at the same event

2025-01-08 04:14:40 +0000 UTCJust another movie idea “With Honors” starring Joe Pesci and Brendan Fraser

2025-01-08 03:45:41 +0000 UTCI’m starting to worry 3000 MILES TO GRACELAND is going to get torn apart. Perhaps its random use of Jon Lovitz won’t be viewed in a positive light.

2025-01-07 20:53:23 +0000 UTCIt was so nice to hear all the positive take aways on the movies. I wish this episode was an hour longer though. Great job guys!

2025-01-07 19:07:49 +0000 UTCI can only hope my last words are half as inspiring

2025-01-07 17:40:07 +0000 UTCHappy New Year, boys! Fun fact but Walt Disney’s last words were “Kurt Russell”. Another great episode guys, audios a bit low on this one though

2025-01-07 14:11:08 +0000 UTCLoved hearing the praise for the late great JT Walsh - he was brilliant in everything and is one of my favourite all time actors too. Sling Blade is a film that he’s in all of five minutes, but he is absolutely unforgettable in that.

2025-01-07 09:12:34 +0000 UTCLove 3000 Miles to Graceland have nostalgia feelings towards that film like Elvis music and Kevin Costner, also Christian Slater being a an Elvis fan reminded me of True Romance I love him in True Romance

2025-01-07 05:35:19 +0000 UTCI have been thinking of just sending you guys a load of just Burt Reynolds staring movies for a "Burt Reynolds Bonanza" as I title it

2025-01-07 02:29:12 +0000 UTCIt's good to see me and Kurt share the same work ethic, "Do your job, and shut the fuck up."

2025-01-07 01:41:02 +0000 UTCSpeaking of the guitar I argued with someone recently, his whole thing was because the guitar was smashed Quentin is an asshole. 1.) It wasn't his guitar, and 2.) It's not like Quentin wanted that guitar smashed, it was an accident

2025-01-07 01:37:17 +0000 UTCHey, since you briefly mentioned Home Alone 2 and the idea of the retread "it happened again!" sequel, I thought I'd share my idea for what it could've been instead. My daughter and I were talking about this a couple of years ago during our annual re-watch and we came up with a premise that separated not just Kevin from his parents but all of the McCallister kids from the two sets of parents. It would be fun to have the kids all have to work together as a family unit to make their way back to the adults.

2025-01-06 22:15:25 +0000 UTCI had the exact same thought about the men's lodge thing watching that stupid Best of Times movie. I think it actually IS illegal.
