with me today is a special guest from The no redeeming qualities podcast we
0:44
have with us he goes by the name zip so welcome zip to the show hello how you doing today I'm doing good I'm ready to
0:51
talk about some uh some Arie movies the no redeeming quality podcast is a podcast that I personally listen to and
0:58
for you listeners happen to listen to this podcast and my Rocky podcast you've already heard zip on that podcast I
1:05
asked zip hey do you want to do a recording and he says I love to come on the worst of the best podcast cuz I want to talk about Arnold and I'm like dude
1:12
let's let's do it Arnold is one of the biggest actors in the world of course he's he's worldwide known I mean when it
1:19
comes to uh action stars and to movies and uh faces of the world I Arnold and
1:26
Sly these two guys kind of rule the roof still to this day him and Mr Stallone are like a shoe in for the Mount
1:32
Rushmore of action Stars pick four people who's on that mountain Arie and Stallone are for sure yeah I would say
1:40
maybe Bruce Willis Bruce Willis is probably on there
1:46
hwood Hollywood did you ever eat at a Planet Hollywood I want to say that I
1:52
have I know I've done a Hard Rock Cafe but I don't know if I've done Planet Hollywood I like to think that I have I
1:58
like to think that I have given more money to Stallone I think it went out of business a long time ago but I remember
2:04
I went there for my like birthday when I would have been like eight or nine but other than that I don't really
2:11
remember anything about Planet Hollywood I've also never been to a Hard Rock Cafe so okay well let me tell you it's pretty
2:17
much like any kind of food that you'd have at any standard Barn Pub but there's paraphernalia around the walls
2:23
okay yeah so a music themed Planet Hollywood exactly like you'll have like Bruce wills's torn up shirt from Die
2:29
Hard things like that so I must have gone twice cuz I don't think this happened at the birthday party but I do remember I
2:36
was in one of them and they had the prop of the giant cockroach from one of the Freddy Krueger movies we had to move
2:43
tables because it was so gross my mom couldn't like eat and look at it that is awesome well speaking of Freddy cougar
2:49
of course when this comes out it'll be closer to Christmas than it is today but tomorrow's Halloween but we just got news that Halloween has been postponed
2:57
one day due to inclement weather that's happening tomorrow in our neighborhood we're going to get up to 100 km hour winds tomorrow they can just do that
3:03
they can just postpone Halloween they did the city did yes they put out a mass notification the schools will be
3:10
announcing that to the children tomorrow for those parents who don't have social media apparently it's a bylaw that you cannot trick-or treat tomorrow for
3:16
safety reasons and to also not disturb the peace well it's supposed to be 100 km wind that's pretty bad so you got
3:22
trees and debris and the power goes out you know you're going to have dark everywhere that's a very good reason to postpone it can't imagine anybody like
3:29
arguing that also it would be a Friday night versus a Thursday night so that's probably better for the parents and for the kids ironically it is a little bit
3:35
better so we got two Friday Halloweens in a row borrowing any unforeseen weather for next year it's a leap year
3:40
next year so it's going to be on Saturday thank thank you for that okay
3:46
we went and celebrated Halloween last week and I went and look that up because I thought like oh yeah next year's going to be on Friday and it's like you know
3:53
I'm sorry can I swear on this yes you can cuz I edit it does matter you say whatever you want so we're not live so
3:59
do what you want do editing probably do all the editing on your show I bet you Bob does nothing as far as editing yes
4:04
Bob does nothing that's what I mean no other yeah your co-host Bob on the show he's fantastic but I meant like post-
4:11
production he does nothing at all oh yeah that's me that's that's me yeah that's all me that's like me with my
4:16
brother Ruben who can't be here tonight because of his work schedule so that's why Zip's filling in yeah I'm the same way I do all the editing all the
4:22
promotional stuff everything but I love my brother all the same that's okay that's okay okay so here we go Arnold SCH sagger movies this guy believe it or
4:30
not well I'm sure our listeners do uh he's quite a box office draw but he doesn't have as many movies as you think
4:37
with big numbers as you think that's what I found the most surprising in doing this um putting together this list
4:44
so there's two things one we adjusted the numbers that we'll present with each movie for inflation because that's
4:51
important because it tells you the amount of tickets sold if this was released in 2019 because you hear about
4:57
the the numbers for like a end game or U or the new Joker movie and as well as
5:02
those movies are doing they're doing obviously very well this gives you an idea how well these movies if they were
5:08
released today of course they wouldn't look like the way they do but if they were tickets sold today what the numbers
5:13
are in comparison to Modern Day movies even with the inflation I'm a little surprised by his numbers I guess I kind
5:21
of thought the same thing some of these aren't very surprising but some of them are there's one in particular I'm
5:28
staring at that I just I'm kind of disbelief that it's as high as it is I'm in disbelief that this movie is on the
5:34
list yet alone ranked where it is okay yeah as our listeners know and if you're first time listening to the show I will
5:40
explain CU people might be listening to the show because of your audience zp what we do my brother and I is we don't
5:45
pick the best we find the worst from the best whether it's a top 10 list here or
5:51
top 10 list there or the greatest movies or music videos or whatever it might be from any artists or collection of lists
5:58
we just choose what we think is the worst from that best because every best of list has something that we still
6:03
think is a stinker this list is certainly no exception the public has spoken Arnold is a box office draw
6:10
worldwide but let's start at the bottom with escape plan this is interesting because this movie when it came out I
6:16
know I was very excited when this movie was announced because we have a real long time pairing between two childhood
6:23
action heroes of my my childhood of Arnold schagger and Sylvester Stone in a prison drama or action movie which
6:29
garnered two terrible sequels that Stallone himself starred in but the original wasn't so bad what do you think
6:35
of Escape Plan I did not see Escape Plan okay I need to because like you said it's got Stallone and Arnold sourer in
6:42
it so is it worth going and seeing yes it's it's not bad I mean there's no way there's no way that I'm going to pick
6:48
the worst right off the bat uh or off this list I should say with the Sylvester Salone in it this is going to
6:54
be if you watch this movie you're not going to be bored you're not going to be like oh my goodness what am I watching here
7:00
it's exactly what you think it is it's Arnold and sester in a prison and there's no Escape but they figure out
7:07
how to do it and there's a corrupt warden so basically it's a futuristic uh lockup with with Arnold as well it had
7:14
have been released in today's dollars even though it was only released like four or five years ago it would have made 152 million worldwide which isn't
7:22
that great but to be fair it only cost like 50 million to make so it made three times it's a budget you're a Stallone
7:28
buff why did it take that long for them cuz I know they did The Expendables but that's not really like them doing it
7:34
together why why did it take so long for them to do a movie together ego ego absolutely they were in competition
7:40
throughout the 80s and 90s and then sorger was out of the movie business for eight years because he was governor of
7:46
California that's true that's true and that's almost a decade and I remember when Arnold went into uh politics I
7:53
thought that was great I mean good for him it goes to show that for him it's not about the money he actually did something that he felt was giving back
7:59
to the country that was you know has given him so much I actually admire him for that it doesn't matter what you think of his politics it's just the fact
8:05
that he actually served in the community for a years there nothing to sneeze at a lot of people saw it oh he only did it
8:12
because he's popular and it was an ego thing but if you've like ever read about Schwarzenegger's life outside of movies
8:19
it makes total sense that he would do it he is a go-getter I mean he was a successful businessman before he even
8:27
started acting right while he was doing bodybuilding he owned some kind of a brick Lang company okay that made him
8:34
wealthy so okay that's awesome we're not going to get into his obviously his personal life or whatever I mean he's
8:42
he's made some mistakes but it's not like he's look he messed around on his marriage but I would dare say what I I would be surprised if any celebrity
8:48
hasn't to be honest with you just they haven't got caught it's Arnold but the fact that he messed around with his n uh
8:54
nanny or whatever and she looked terrible you know it just goes to show
8:59
tell you that he was just laying it on everyone like you know it didn't matter
9:05
how attractive they just you know I don't know I think it's also we see the pictures of her when it the Scandal came
9:11
out which was like 20 years after the fact I mean maybe she was more attractive sure you know when it
9:17
happened but still you know let's give let's give Arnold the benefit of the doubt yes next one Junior the uh comedy
9:25
quote unquote comedy Junior came out in 1994 and I saw this in the theaters oh
9:31
god well I keep in mind I was I was 1819 when it came out and I was a huge Arnold sweger Mark at this point in his career
9:39
and in my young life I had no reason not to think this wouldn't be a fun movie oh
9:44
and it is a fun movie it's a not a great one I mean it's stupid as hell it's that
9:49
word it's quintessential comedy s [ __ ] just get him yelling get him dressed up like a lady you know yeah yeah I'll
9:57
never forget the the line from the trailer that we all saw then it came out and when it came out of course we looked
10:02
forward to it in the movie when he complained about his nipples being
10:09
sensitive you just got to go what on Earth compelled them to make that movie
10:15
you know like what a off-the-wall concept that that he scors Egger's carrying a a
10:23
baby and ddy deito was there and I I this came out 1994 so he was was he that
10:30
old I is my math right let's see he's older than my he's a couple years older than my dad and my dad was born in 1950
10:37
yeah oh yeah so he would be he would have been in his early 50s look really good he was in his early 50s when he did
10:43
Terminator 2 yeah we'll get to that yeah that's I'm just thinking like God dang I didn't know he was that old yeah so this
10:49
was directed by Ivan wman of course the popular and and successful comedy director uh rest in peace this was his
10:56
fourth movie to direct with Arnold in it cuz he had a cameo and Dave but that won't be in our list cuz cameos don't
11:02
really count yeah cameos don't count because Arnold's done a few cameos he's kind of funny that way okay so that made
11:08
171 at the box office again not too bad and I would assume the budget on that wasn't very high yeah 60 million budget
11:15
so it almost tripled its budget as well comedies aren't usually too expensive I bet you half that money went to his uh
11:20
pay there's no special effects really in it or anything yeah so have you seen it you seen it I meant to ask oh yeah yeah
11:26
I've seen Junior I have not seen Escape play no that's funny and I'm looking at the
11:32
rest of the list and I've seen the rest of these so okay good well here's the thing that's crazy to me I'm surprised
11:37
by how low this one is predator I'm actually not really why because I think
11:43
Predator was kind of a cult classic wasn't it did it not get popular until
11:49
after it was out of the theaters when any action film buff speaks about
11:54
Predator it is spoken with reverence there's nobody that I know that that
12:00
likes Arnold and likes action and or likes action who might not even like Arnold who doesn't like Predator it's impossible you cannot not like action
12:07
movies especially from the ' 80s and not like this movie I was actually super lucky that the first time I saw a predator it was on AMC I missed the very
12:17
very very first part of the movie so the I started watching it when it was all of them in the helicopter going to the
12:24
jungle and so I had no idea what it was about I just thought it was like
12:29
Commando some kind of shoot them up movie and then you know then the the Sci-Fi Predator itself starts coming out
12:35
so you know I was 10 and I'm just good lore like it was oh man it was such a
12:40
good movie I actually I saw it when I was about yeah the same age but I saw it on VHS when it was a new release cuz I
12:45
was too young to see in the theaters cuz it's a pretty violent movie it came out in ' 87 but I got it on VHS as a kid and
12:52
I bought it I remember I bought it from the Columbia House video Club I watched the crap out of this movie it's just
12:57
such a great great movie in the scene where they're all laying their ammo down the firing there with the they lay the
13:04
jungle to nothing with their bolt they've seen the alien or the Predator take one of the men into the bushes and
13:10
they just shoot the jungle up yeah and and Jesse Ventura is somehow carrying a minigun that no the whole point is that
13:18
there're supposed to be like a light a light self-sustained Commando
13:23
Force oh let me carry around the heaviest machine gun you could possibly
13:28
get together I mean it's still awesome it amazing it's amazing he's carrying a Minun you got yeah you got Carl Weathers
13:34
in this talk about a rocky crossover got Carl Weathers in it you've got Bill Duke Jessie Ventura and I was a huge
13:40
wrestling Watcher in the 80s of course so seeing Jessie Ventura playing this badass military guy was this amazing and
13:46
this movie is directed by action professional director John McAn who did the Die Hard movies and he also did some
13:52
other ones that didn't do so well hunt for at October though he did that one as well this movie is just look this is my
13:58
favorite Arnold movie huh well it might be my favorite yeah the problem you run into with Arnold that I you run into
14:06
usually with these action movies is that when they're great they're amazing they're a great time and when they suck
14:11
they really suck yeah well him and stone suffer from the same thing when Stone knocks out of the park with it's the any
14:17
Rocky movie for example or the ramble films when he knocks him out he knocks him out but when he's in a dud they're
14:22
in a dud it's weird very little very little gray area when it comes to these two okay so that's the Predator film
14:28
only cost 15 million to make and they made well $100 million back then so it
14:33
totally was profitable but in today's budget or today's tickets it's 193 so almost 200 million worldwide on you
14:39
could say on a $40 million budget so it made its money back and then some I'm surprised that it it only cost $15
14:45
million to make yeah that's on a budget you heard who was the original Predator right oh John Claude vanam and you know
14:52
that had to have been like selective hearing on his part cuz apparently he quit doing it when he found out that he's no one would see his face face or
14:59
anything and it's like well what did you think the alien was going to look like under the mask take a look on YouTube to
15:06
the early footage of jeanclaude on Predators out there the alien creature was actually different as well and it
15:12
looked terrible so the changes they made in in Jean claud's firing or whatever leaving actually helped make the movie
15:18
that much better because they redesigned the the Predator I think this might have been a another design before the John
15:24
Claude version but they had uh I think the original script had it be like a a
15:30
men in blackes like little alien inside of a big suit oh okay but they wanted
15:36
Arnold to get to beat it up and so they thought well that's not going to be very entertaining if he's beating up like a
15:41
tiny alien so great great choice great decision so right all right holidays are
15:48
around the corner some people watch this movie every holiday season are you one of these people Jing I am one of these
15:55
people they do Black Friday up in Canada right do you guys don't have Thanksgiving I feel so stupid I'm sorry
16:01
we yeah sorry we have Thanksgiving in October Canadian Thanksgiving in October and we do have sales that we kind of
16:07
mimic with the US definitely but no we don't want to have Thanksgiving in November and I will say for our
16:13
listeners I my wife and I in our military career we were posted to Washington State worked at a naval
16:19
Airbase there for 4 years and we really enjoyed our we had three kids born in the states we had three American children so we love the us and we love
16:25
our ties there so often we celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving October and we kind of do a double header and do it again in November for American kids it's
16:32
a good holiday I think I think a lot of people who don't care for American culture kind of crap on it but I'm a big
16:40
fan of Christmas starting on Black Friday yeah yeah I I don't think until
16:46
the evening of Thanksgiving which a lot of years will watch jingle all the way the evening of Thanksgiving because it's
16:51
like kicks off the you know the Christmas season yeah this is a total guilty pleasure because this is just a
16:59
an absolutely silly movie yeah telling everyone don't celebrate Christmas until
17:05
after American Thanksgiving that is your that is what's allowed in my books too I love that part of being in the US was
17:12
the celebration of of America Thanksgiving and it it's like a it's almost like a really great appetizer to
17:18
the Christmas season it is getting better because there were a couple years ago it just felt like Christmas was starting in like September and it was
17:24
just it was just absurd but you know we at least have this barrier to Christmas
17:31
where it's kind of like you can tell people it's not an arbitrary date it's like wait until after Thanksgiving like
17:36
Canadians I guess you guys don't have that it's kind of a free-for-all then what it is here is sometimes people say
17:41
we don't like this start the Christmas celebration until after veterans or uh Remembrance Day November 11th to pay
17:49
respect the army veterans and then after that weekend you can kind of start talking about Christmas that's what we
17:54
kind of do in Canada do you like jingle all the way it's a guilty pleasure it's funny it's silly uh you got a father
18:03
who's trying to get the toy for his kid you wouldn't have this issue anymore today because of Amazon of
18:10
Amazon but back in the 90s this was an issue with parents still clamoring at the toy shelves bless Amazon's heart for
18:16
eliminating a lot of movie plots that's what's funny about some of these movies you you can't make some of
18:21
these movies today because of modern day technology takes away the plot the other side of that is that opens up more doors
18:29
for more stories you can tell sure sure sure yeah now this movie almost made 200
18:34
million worldwide so not a bomb and it only cost like 20 million to sorry how much to C it cost oh a little bit higher
18:40
budget almost 75 million to make but I would argue again they probably paid this cost 7 that cost $75
18:49
million yeah well the action sequence at the end so to speak when uh Arnold turns into Turbo Man yeah turbo man that cost
18:59
a little bit you know of him flying around and Arnold was probably 20 million and I think this was Phil
19:04
Hartman's last movie wasn't it yeah boy rest in peace what a tragic way to go
19:09
can you imagine yeah it's having your spouse shoot you while you're sleeping
19:15
that's just insane and there's a big show Cameo you said you're a wrestling fan so yeah
19:21
that's that's right I don't even think that the Big Show was the Big Show at the time I think he was still was he
19:27
like the Giant at WCW yeah either way 96 he might have
19:33
been in 96 actually this is just before the uh Attitude Era yeah so they just needed a big ass guy that was oh he
19:40
played like a coper or a Mard or something didn't he when Arnold sourer gets into the he gets into the fight
19:46
with all the M Santas oh that's right and Big Show and Big Show is one of the M
19:53
Santas and Jake Lloyd played his son that was the Anakin Skywalker from Phantom Menace we all know how great his
19:59
career went so man I do feel for him because you know he he suffers from schizophrenia
20:05
now as an adult and it's just like they say a lot of those are are stressinduced
20:11
disorders and you know so much negativity about his his role when he
20:17
was like an eight-year-old you know like yeah I think the wrong the wrong actor was
20:22
shot oh God we could have used Phil Hartman's laughter More Than Jake
20:28
[Laughter] I would sacrifice Sinbad before the the
20:34
child okay you're right why didn't say he had
20:40
to be shot as a child like now would have been
20:45
fine holy we might not curse but we can get pretty dark on this show okay yeah
20:52
all right so the next one Speaking of child actors and adult stars we got the Last Action Hero so Junior I saw in the
20:59
theaters Predator I did not jingled away I did not Last Action Hero I did see in
21:04
the theaters and actually that's the last time I've seen that movie oh man The Last Action
21:10
Hero I think is an AMC one for me cuz I don't think I've seen it more than once
21:16
right no so I yeah I wasn't particularly crazy about it and this one was directed as well by John McAn who directed
21:22
Predator so Arnold and Arnold and John were hoping to uh recreate the magic they made on predator
21:29
and they missed they missed that Mark very significantly now but this is a movie I think that I'm enough to say
21:35
that was ahead of its time but it's one of the ones that kind of winked at itself because it's Arnold playing
21:42
himself in a in a satirical way and so I think with the right writing I think it
21:48
had a clever idea yeah it was a clever pitch that didn't turn out to be a clever movie I think with the right
21:54
writers today cuz we have some really good people that can write today in today's movies this would have been a great nod at
22:01
Arnold's career of a action star and he's an agan action star and all that stuff so the idea was clever but it just
22:08
didn't pan out I think it probably suffered from the same thing that the movie Little Shop of Horrors did where
22:16
you go into it thinking it's going to be like a full-blown action movie but you know it's this kind of self-aware quas
22:23
comedy and it's probably just not what people were expecting and and looking at how much it made that surprises me I no
22:32
I had never would have thought that would have made that much freaking money yeah it made $27 million worldwide so it
22:39
made money and it's made and it made its money back but it didn't make enough to Warrant a sequel and speaking of sequels
22:44
Arnold doesn't do too many of those does he the exception the very very famous franchise that he did that we're going
22:50
to talk about later he's not big into sequels really he's got a couple that we'll talk about peak of his of his
22:56
career was that during a time when sequel weren't or movies weren't sequels heavy as they are today yeah so 217
23:03
million now we're reaching the $300 million Mark of his movies end of days
23:08
I'm surprised it is where it is a little bit but it made $38 million worldwide there's another movie that sweger did
23:15
that's not on this list and the name is escap was it called the sixth day yes did another movie around that time
23:22
period And I think you could put a gun to my head and I cannot differentiate those two movies really end of day is
23:28
the one where is it Kevin Pollock pisses on something and it sets him on
23:34
fire well yes end of days came out in 99 it was an American Supernatural action
23:39
horror film directed by Peter hams the film follows former New York Police Department detective Jericho Cain I love
23:47
that how his name is Jericho Kan after he saves a banker from an assassin but he finds himself embroiled in a
23:53
religious conflict and must protect an innocent woman who is chosen by evil forces to conceive the Antichrist was
24:01
Satan yeah odd Choice odd choice for Source
24:06
nagger it is a very odd choice this would have been his first type of religious type drama I actually walked
24:13
out of the theater on this movie really yeah because of it was bad
24:19
or did something offend you well I will say at the time uh that I was I was quite religious at the time and I think
24:25
that played into part of it I'm not opposed to movies that deal with religion or even with a Satan character
24:32
or you know the conflict of evil CU really whether it's the dark side of the force or the devil it's the same type of
24:39
conflict Supernatural conflict right uh so it was a part of that I was you know I was quite Orthodox at the time and so
24:46
there was a part of me that kind of felt uncomfortable I'm not a big fan of these
24:51
type of ult movies and so it was a little bit more than I knew what the premise was about but it was a little bit more than I anticipated it was just
24:57
too too gross too much for me at the time this was 20 years ago would I be able to sit through it today maybe but I
25:04
was also bored too yeah that's it didn't engage me it just I wouldn't say it just
25:10
it just offended me but it offended my time and my my energy and I was like I wasn't enjoying the movie and I actually
25:15
got my money back and said this movie isn't what I thought it' be and they gave me my money back on my way out it's a really bad combination for a movie to
25:22
be offensive to somebody and also bore them yes you're giving them absolutely no reason to stay
25:29
in the seat my sensitivities could probably handle the M subject matter today but I would probably just be just
25:35
as bored that made $38 million at the box office and I remember uh being excited
25:42
by this movie because it also spawned a new music song by Guns and Roses who kind of lay dormant at the time I'm not
25:48
a big guns and roses guy all right I am sorry no it's fine you don't either you
25:54
are or you're not it's fine talk about two polar opposite movies his next big box office success was the movie
26:00
Kindergarten Cop made $350 million worldwide I'm old enough that I saw this in the theaters this is like a second
26:06
tier to jingle all the way but also incredibly entertaining yes directed
26:13
Again by Ivan rman came out in 1990 it only cost 26 million and it went
26:19
on to gross close to 350 million worldwide so big box office good God big
26:26
box office how did we see was he was born what 47 yeah so he was what's 90-
26:32
47 he was 43 in this film he would have been 43 yeah that's my age so weird
26:38
looking at him on this movie poster he's my age in this film do you ever do that do you ever compare your age to an
26:44
actor's age especially from movies from the past I do I do it all the time in my old age you know Hitler didn't commit
26:50
genocide until his 40s so I try not to get bogged down and in what I've accomplished I just turned 30 so oh
26:57
you're young boy bless you I was going to say there's a reason I haven't seen most of these movies in theaters is I
27:03
wasn't alive yet well keep in mind this was your topic of choice oh I know I know there I I didn't get to see them in
27:10
theaters I just got to see them on you know VHS and yeah yeah well this was a great movie a lot of fun and I remember
27:17
getting a kick out of it so of course the big lines you know it's not a tumor and he yells shut
27:22
[Laughter] up and as a parent I know that very well
27:29
the shut up oh would this have been Schwarzenegger's first comedy no we're get into it yeah you'll know oh okay
27:36
okay okay I see I see I see this was directed by Ivan wman again yeah another
27:41
successful comedy hit with Arnold and Ivan and this is the thing about Arnold compared to Sly that I give points to
27:48
Arnold is Arnold can do comedy and I think he has the advantage because he's just such a freak of nature and he's got
27:54
the funny voice yeah and I mean freak because bigger than the average
28:00
man even to austrians apparently what part of Austria he's
28:06
from they have like the ridiculous accent amongst the austrians like they're the ones with the super thick
28:12
accent so you know then he comes over here and it doesn't help that he's got this crazy ass weird name and he's like
28:19
built like Hercules and Stallone never seemed like he laughed at himself as much as Source
28:26
[ __ ] did hold that thought I agree with you I just got to go check something for the wife I meant to tell you I might have a couple interruptions I'm home alone with the kids so so far
28:32
they've been really good but I just got to check tell them to shut up yeah shut
28:39
up shut up shut up shut up shut
28:49
[Laughter] up all right back all right I agree with
28:55
you about saying that I think slide he doesn't seem to he takes himself too
29:01
seriously at least he did during the ' 80s and '90s yeah it's a a Stallone comedy uh stoer might mom will shoot is
29:08
that the only one he did that he did Oscar I don't even remember Oscar um
29:15
like a testament to Schwarzenegger's sense of humor is if do you remember the it was either the first or the second
29:20
time he was on the campaign Trail for governor he got hit with a he got hit with an egg and his immediate reaction
29:27
was he he said he wanted him to throw bacon at him too what about this reaction you got hit by an egg what do
29:33
you think of well this guy owes me bacon now I mean there's no two ways about it because I mean you can't just have eggs
29:39
without bacon but this is just all part of you know the free speech I think it's great to see this people here screaming
29:45
out imagine you're in some communist state or some dictatorship you couldn't do that that's why I love this country
29:51
and you have to take the whole package when love something I think that California is great I think America is great everyone can speak out everyone
29:58
there's freedom of speech that's what creates the ultimate of democracy so I believe in that and I welcome that right
30:04
and I just think in 1989 if you hit Stallone with an egg right I don't think
30:10
he would have saw it as very funny agreed all right well speaking of comedies we got Arnold and another one
30:17
Batman and Robin an unintentional comedy I had a
30:22
poster of Arnold Sor sagger as Mr Freeze on my wall oh you are young oh my goodness yeah how old were you 97 I
30:29
would have been uh 8 years old oh there you go as a kid I love Batman and Robin sure I mean
30:38
it was it was fun it was stupid it had Mr Freeze and it also it was also s it
30:43
was like The Best of Both Worlds it was Mr Freeze and Arnold swarzenegger right now I will say that the movie does suck
30:51
it's a terrible movie of course but George Clooney in particular is possibly the worst Batman
30:59
to ever Dawn the suit yeah he was George Clooney in a Batman costume like he wasn't even
31:05
trying I I used to watch ER and I I kind of liked him okay in that but I remember when he left to go do movies I thought
31:12
oh really he's going to be a movie star and I will say he's not that great of an
31:17
actor he's a heartthrob he's a handsome man and I'm sure he's a nice guy and he's not very engaging he doesn't really
31:23
capture the screen the way I think he thinks he was going to
31:29
now do you know any of the history behind why Arnold swarzenegger ended up
31:34
as Mr Freeze because regarding like Mr free the character it makes no sense because the
31:42
the original character the non sweger version barely talks and he talks very
31:47
kind of softspoken he's cold you know you get it he's a cold kind of introvert
31:53
kind of scrawny and that's why he has the suit so then they were like you know what let's change it to where he's a
32:00
giant hulk of a person who does nothing but throw onliners it it's a bizarre
32:05
Choice tonight's forecast a freeze is coming allow me to break the ice you are
32:13
not sending me to the cor freeze well what killed the dinosaurs the I
32:24
AG stay cool bird boy let's kick some
32:30
ice show some mercy I'm afraid that my conditioners left me cold to your please
32:36
of Mercy all right everyone chill it's a cold Town cool
32:45
party can you be called Batman killed to Perfection revenge is a dish best have
32:53
C winter has come at last freeze freeze
32:59
ice freeze I see winter F Frozen I see freeze winter ice I freeze winter winter
33:08
freeze Frosty Patrick Stewart was originally considered for Mr Freeze see that at
33:14
least makes sense I could see that that makes me upset that would have been a better choice and then you should had
33:20
swarzenegger be Bane you know oh yeah that was if we could have recast this film in '97 and gave it a serious
33:27
Direction it could been a fun film what makes it not a good film obviously it went too campy too childlike I like the
33:34
idea of Batman Robin of course the movie did not deliver in any way shape or form we got bat nipples though we did get bat
33:41
nipples and that was important and a bat credit
33:47
card does Bruce Wayne have his own just his own bank I guess I guess he's just
33:52
banking on the financial institute not investigating who owns the bat credit card but anyway this movie is awful it's
34:00
a terrible terrible film it killed the Batman franchise at the time until Chris
34:05
Nolan about 10 years later took it back it kind of killed superhero movies too
34:10
until X-Men people forget that it was actually X-Men that revitalized the comic book movies it was X-Men and then
34:17
swiftly followed by Spider-Man and then Batman and then probably yeah Chris NL
34:22
and Batman yeah the year before Batman and Robin this movie I am surprised surpris how high is on the list I don't
34:30
understand but it I guess it just came out at a certain time when I don't know Arnold was still still a draw this is
34:37
the one I was referencing yes yeah okay 370 million at the box office there zip
34:43
and that movie is a racer what it's a terrible movie it's a
34:48
generic action movie you know and then a one that's not on this list a couple years later he made a collateral damage
34:55
I mean a raser is just collateral damage as far as you know what it is how this
35:00
made $370 million right it's weird that must have been a lot of dissatisfied movie goers
35:08
is so weird the only thing about this movie that in my brain is even worth remembering is that my one of my sisters
35:16
collects erasers you know like the ones you put on a pencil right one Christmas
35:21
I got half price books this is after VHS had gone out it was DVDs I got her the
35:28
VHS of eraser and wrapped it everybody would give her a gift and then they put like an eraser in it you know to build
35:34
her collection and I thought it was going to be the funniest thing I ever did and not a single person in my family
35:40
laughed when she opened it completely fell flat nobody understood
35:45
it that's hilarious I had a science teacher in middle school we watched parts of eraser because she was teaching
35:53
us something about x-rays or something like that overall this is an incredibly forgettable movie yeah the film follows
36:00
a US Marshall who protects a senior operative testifying about an illegal arms deal and is forced to fight his
36:06
former allies when one of the players is revealed to be a mole yeah there you go okay now now
36:14
we're getting to the big stuff now I combined the two uh box office but this
36:19
two movie early in his career did much better than I thought it did at the box office so conand the Barbarian the uh
36:27
end Conan the Destroyer made a combined box office of 387 and 34 of that box office
36:34
was from Conan the Barbarian so it belongs on the list all the same but it almost made $400 million worldwide those
36:40
two movies why have they not followed up with the third one the the king Conan is
36:46
the biggest disappointment to not happen in in swarz Sager's career it's very
36:52
frustrating he's at I me he's getting old now but King Conan is old but that story needs to get done but Conan the
36:58
Barbarian I never read the original uh like the I guess the pul fiction
37:04
magazine you know where the the Original Stories came from as a standalone film
37:09
it is very entertaining and it has an orene remember that yeah you know what's funny about that is I got that from
37:15
Blockbuster as a kid I have no idea why my dad thought that was okay I we
37:22
watched it that was yeah so you know watching an orgy scene with your dad when you're like nine it's so funny now
37:28
for our listeners like we're not talking what you would find on the internet today I'm just saying it was a group of
37:33
people in this weird like occult type ceremony and they're all in the kind of
37:39
in the background a little bit there's a variety of people just making love oh
37:45
and then there is an explicit sex scene and I think the first third of the movie
37:50
where he has sex with the witch I can't quite remember he throws her in the fire yeah you know it's like hanging dong I
37:56
mean it's a on sex scene you know but uh this this made you know this
38:03
movie itself made almost on its own $340 million at the box office which is why
38:09
sourcer did Conan the Destroyer just cuz it made so much money and it just bombed Conan the Destroyer has its moments it
38:16
just feels like an imitation of the first one there's a great picture from Conan the Destroyer if you want to put
38:22
it in perspective arie's a big dude he's 6 foot something you know obviously very
38:28
very muscular there's the picture of him in between Wilt Chamberlain and Andre
38:35
the Giant it just makes you go like oh my God Andre the Giant is such a big guy
38:42
you know yeah it's crazy it's crazy I know what you're talking about yeah cuz Andre the Giant was the voice of the
38:48
dragon at the end right was that right yeah I'm pretty sure he was the I don't think he his person was in the movie but
38:55
I think he voiced the the Dragon at the end where they pull the horn out and you know there there's a wizard and I don't
39:01
really remember the rest but well if they needed a someone just to mumble oh and James Earl Jones in the
39:09
first one when he turned into the snake that scared the [ __ ] out of me as a kid you can tell that it's practical effects
39:15
now but you know as a kid that really did freak the [ __ ] out of me do you ever see in the same vein and around the same
39:20
time the movie called Beast Master I have never seen Beast Master Beast Master creep CED out of me it was about
39:27
basic basically is about a guy who was able to command animals right so he's a
39:33
beast master and these animals were able to help him throughout his medieval you know science fiction fantasy adventures
39:40
in a Conan like type land and there was a scene in Beastmaster where these
39:46
winged witch creatures humanoid witch creatures wrapped their wings around a
39:52
body of a person and basically when they opened up their wings the person turned into goo just slapped on the ground like
39:59
like a stew and that sequence I saw this as a child has
40:04
scarred me to this day I remember do somebody told me that apparently on HB I
40:10
didn't have HBO growing up but they would show Beast Master so much that people called H or people said HBO stood
40:16
for hey Beast Masters on I don't know I don't know if that's
40:22
true or not that might be what I saw that's probably the only thing I know had the movie channel for a little while
40:28
I remember as a kid we had the HBO as a kid cuz I remember thought it was so cool that we could watch movies without
40:34
commercials and the the one movie so I think I saw then I must have seen it then the other movie that came on all
40:40
the time and this is really a deep cut the movie tank have you I'm not familiar with that
40:46
one okay after this show Google tank trailer from the80s and I think it's a guy that goes like stir crazy and and
40:53
uses the tank to cause Mayhem in the city I imagine that it was just those were the films they got the rights to so
40:59
they you know bled it bled it dry yeah so tank was on all the time and when you're a kid and there's nothing else on
41:05
TV you watch tank so twins came out in 1988 this was a huge smash making $411
41:12
million of course the movie stars Arnold sorger with his twin brother Danny
41:17
DeVito I like it yeah it's a very funny movie unlike Junior I think the premise
41:24
I mean the premise is also kind of silly but but it does have a little bit more
41:30
kind of a drama feel to it a little just a hair more a heart to it because like you know when Danny DeVito what did he
41:36
he literally said he's the genetic leftovers you came out first of
41:41
course we weren't expecting him this uh must be we made
41:47
the milkshake we weren't making milkshakes we're making the most fully
41:53
developed human the world has ever seen but but instead of just one perfect
41:58
kid mom had the two of us way to go mom wrong the embryo did split in two but it
42:07
didn't split equally all the Purity and strength went into
42:13
Julius all the crap that was left over went into what you see in the mirror every morning whoa whoa whoa you telling
42:19
me I'm the crap no no this is not true wait a minute julus I want I want to hear this you're telling me that I am
42:26
the leftover crap that I'm no good he's wrong look at him you saying that I'm a
42:31
side effect you haven't got the brain power to understand this and I haven't got the time shows over hey
42:41
[ __ ] tell us where mother is um Whispering PES it's an artist Colony 200
42:49
mil north of Santa Fe if you're lying to me I'll be
42:55
back yeah cuz small I mean that's funny but I mean that is also sad because you know I mean and
43:01
also Danny deito is a [ __ ] or is he just a really short guy well did you
43:06
ever watch taxi oh yeah yeah my parents like to watch taxi yeah I guess I'm agent myself I love taxi and Danny deito
43:13
he was great in that TV show he played the boss who worked at the cage and he'd get so angry he'd be you know he' he'd
43:19
hang from the cage with his hands and feet like a Mony he's not tall he's 4 fo 10 yeah
43:26
that's got to be the cut off to be a [ __ ] I mean that that's got to be I think under five is officially a [ __ ]
43:32
is it okay well now what I love about this movie is Arnold actually you get to see his
43:37
comedy chops a little bit so he would have been 41 in this film he really played The Fish Out of Water really well
43:43
like the kind of adorable character he loved his little brother that he hadn't seen his whole life and he protects him
43:50
with his brute strength but he's got the a kind heart innocence kind of almost a nativity and he plays it very very well
43:58
and then Danny DeVito Al just had to play himself can
44:04
L now Danny DeVito he has been old his whole life
44:10
right he's like Chris Lloyd also from Taxi where you're just you've always been an old man you've always been old
44:17
but he was and the Tommy Lee Jo Tommy Lee Jones is the worst Tommy Lee Jones is the absolute worst about that Tom Le
44:23
Jones has never no to Tom Lee Jones credit he hasn't aged in 35 40 years
44:29
yeah there's going to be a point where I'm going to look like Tommy Lee Jones and he'll still look like Tommy Lee Jones that's what I mean like he has
44:35
been 75 for the past 40 years Dan DeVito in this film he was about 42 so he was
44:42
the same age as swarzenegger he looks 42 in that but like in taxi he he he looks
44:47
like an older man why is it the people that we saw as older when we're growing
44:53
up actors or even a grandparent and then we see their photos of them when they were younger than we are
44:59
now whatever age you're looking back and they still look older than you are at the time now I've always thought about
45:05
that I think it might have to do with the clothes they wear okay and maybe the way they cut their hair it is true just
45:13
people looked older back then I see pictures of my dad for example when he was in his 20s and he still looks like
45:20
he's my dad who's older than me even though I'm looking at a picture of him when he's 25 years younger than I am now
45:25
it's just it's weird people in my family uh age hard so that doesn't
45:31
that's my dad has four boys and we're all about 5 years older than apart from
45:37
each other and that when you get us in a line you can just see the progress of what like I'm the I'm the youngest so I
45:44
can look ahead of the line and I'm okay that's what I'm going to look like when I'm 35 when I'm 40 when I'm 45 when I'm
45:50
50 what was the budget for twins well it couldn't have been too much I mean there was really very little effects and stuff
45:56
let's see here uh the budget was only $18 million box office was $450 million
46:02
and there's a rumor that doing a sequel called triplets with Eddie Murphy I would watch that all right the next one
46:07
I saw this in the theaters Total Recall I think I was in ninth grade this would have been my first hard R movie that I
46:15
ever saw in the theaters where I know that I kind of snuck in no yes I was 15
46:20
and this is from the same director writers of Robocop so I knew that Paul verhoven he delivers when it comes to VI
46:26
violence and uh and action I saw this in the theaters and I'm so glad I did when
46:32
you're 15 and see this movie for as a 15-year-old kid back in the day it's right up your alley you're just left
46:39
like in awe of how how insane it is that seems like a good age for the Triple boob yeah I I remember thinking at the
46:47
time like should I like this more yeah I definitely got some conf conflicted
46:52
feelings about the triple boob but I remember thinking they did a great makeup job like where does one begin the
46:59
other one I always wondered that too is the fake one like in the center or did they
47:04
push the other two to the side you know I don't I don't quite know how breasts work sorry I think the schematics was is
47:12
that they must have put the one the third one the kind of in the the middle in in the middle yeah
47:18
that's oh my goodness that's hilarious it had a pretty healthy budget between 50 $60 million which would have been
47:24
close to you know 90 100 today it made in today's money $451 million so
47:29
certainly nothing to sneeze at it's also got some good Prime uh source and anger puns in it okay yeah there's a lot of
47:35
great there's a lot of great ones in here and throughout Arnold's career in general but so at the at the time this was one of the most expensive films ever
47:41
made no [ __ ] really yeah I might have to go back and rewatch this one because I don't think I've seen it in a long time
47:48
I know they remade it so I'm sure the remake's awful it's horrible yeah I
47:53
don't usually do remakes all right now we're we're getting into the big guns
47:58
literally True Lies $600 million worldwide and a solo movie just one just
48:06
one this isn't even a franchise just one well that's James Cameron for you yeah James C boy it's so fun there's so many
48:12
James Cameron haters but there's something about him where he can get the box office if you're going to hate James
48:18
Cameron he made Terminator and Terminator 2 he made aliens he made True
48:24
Lies he made Titanic I never seen Avatar as far as like not having a very like a
48:30
large volume of work what he has done is pretty amazing yeah it's crazy a lot of
48:35
people just don't like them they just don't like them anyone that's successful in their whatever field they're in
48:40
there's a little bit of a narcissism in there there's a little bit of an eagle he also led the second expedition to the
48:46
Mariana Trench it's like okay uh if it had to be anybody I guess it should be
48:51
James Cameron okay what did you think of Avatar at the time I know I got sucked
48:57
into the uh hysteria of it and I remember seeing the theaters being be more of a it was a visual spectacle for
49:02
sure that's where I give full credit to James ceron where he pushes technology and it helps all their movies in the in
49:07
the meantime you look back at it now it doesn't I say it doesn't hold up but it's like we've already surpass what
49:13
it's done uh with CGI is because of you know technology just advances so quickly but he's doing that again apparently
49:19
with what he's doing now whatever he's doing now apparently it's Reinventing film again with the Avatar sequels that he's working on I'm looking forward to
49:26
seeing how he pushes the film boundary again why not and I never saw Avatar because honestly it just didn't interest
49:34
me at the time 3D stuff gives gives me a headache yeah I don't go I don't go out of my way to watch it it's been about 10
49:40
years or so since Avatar came out and I feel like every time I hear them tell me
49:46
somebody tell me about a sequel there's another one it's like oh he's making five new avatars and a theme park we'll
49:53
make the second one and also get an original plot I know the synopsis it's essentially Dances with Wolves it's also
50:00
Pocahontas you know it's not a very original story unobtainium okay yeah oh
50:06
wow good remembering that's such a stupid name you call it oh okay anyway
50:12
one thing I loved about True Lies in 1990s we got to see Jam Le Curtis in quite a quite a fun little dance routine
50:18
yeah uh I don't know Jam Lee Curtis is like my mom's age well she's 32 in that
50:23
film really yeah cuz she was born in 58 in the movie oh sorry let me scratch that it's a little bit older she would
50:29
have been 94 she was born in 50 she was 36 she was 36 in True Life okay still I
50:37
mean I also just never found her to be particularly attractive I yeah I always
50:43
had a thing for her even had a thing for her before this film came out cuz I was a big Halloween fan as well the original movie yeah yeah and her mother Janet
50:50
layi another very attractive woman and I just uh yeah good jeans yeah now True
50:55
Lies as far as as action movies go that Arnold has made with the exception of
51:01
some of the uh cyborg theme movies we're going to talk about here in a minute this is probably the most straight and
51:08
narrow movie he made yeah it's an action movie it's a thriller but it's not like Commando it
51:16
doesn't really have any crazy sci-fi elements or campiness to it yeah it has comedy basically plays a secret agent
51:22
Shamy Curtis's uh role in it she's the wife to him she has no idea she thinks he's just a boring businessman she's
51:29
getting a Restless in their marriage the idea that she gets wrapped up in his adventure of a of a secret spy or or and
51:36
all that stuff and they you know rekindle their relationship through this adventure it's quite clever and quite
51:42
quite a fun movie and you can see how it made so much because you can see dates going to this movie because it had the
51:48
elements that were a little bit light for those that were yeah that's probably it now that you say that it was probably
51:54
the fact that you could get a couple that would want to go see this movie yeah exactly all right now I threw this
52:01
in and you we don't have to have it it's not going to make my worst cut anyways but I threw it in just because I wanted
52:06
to show how big this Trilogy how much money this Trilogy actually made and
52:12
people might be surprised by this but Arnold was in all three of them even though he cameoed in the first one he had a bigger role by far in the second
52:18
one and and the healthy one in the third one but the Expendables Trilogy made $94
52:24
million worldwide that doesn't surprise me that's a that's actually a healthier number than I anticipated when I did the
52:29
numbers I don't know if I've seen the second and third Expendables whoa whoa I
52:36
know these movies came out at a period where I really wasn't seeing a lot of movies I also kind of just felt like I
52:42
already knew the story before I saw it the action sequences and everything are actually a lot more fun than you might
52:48
have thought originally like they're actually it's a fun Trilogy it really is again you're not bored you can't be an
52:53
action star fan yeah an action fan of film and watch these and go those boring it's not challenging your brain cells
53:00
it's just a fun ROM it's exactly what it intends to be and on that level they're fun but I just wanted the audience to
53:05
hear how much movies The Expendables actually made that Stallone that is a that's 300 million a pop yeah that's
53:12
yeah it's not too bad and that's a Stallone creation so I I have to give him a shout out and this is where Stallone gets another point that Arnold
53:19
doesn't get so Arnold gets points in the comedy section and his versatility section I agree but uh Stallone gets
53:25
points for creativity St has directed and written many films where Arnold has done neither yeah Arnold's definitely
53:33
more of a onscreen guy right all right well now on to the uh this probably is
53:39
not very surprising now when you you included I'm assuming all the way up to Genesis yes but I only included the four
53:46
movies that he was in cuz there was there was we're talking about a course oh that's right he wasn't in Salvation
53:51
yeah so here you go folks you now I'm sure a lot of you like oh I know I know how much money these made but here we go
53:57
the Terminator movies the four that he was in so Terminator T2 Judgment Day
54:03
Terminator 3 the rise of the Machines and then Terminator Genesis combined box
54:08
office of $22.07 billion that's
54:13
crazy so is it any wonder that they're doing another movie with Arnold in the
54:19
in the Terminator franchise people might not remember this that's even what's even more staggering about that is that
54:25
Terminator 3 didn't even get full release at least here in the states they had to pull it from the theaters because
54:30
he started running for office oh really yeah and I'm sure we live in a America we're in a Hell hellscape nightmare
54:37
right now so I'm sure nobody would even I'm sure everybody would ignore those rules now but yeah it was like you know
54:43
if a movie is supposed to run for six months they it only ran for three because they had to pull it well your country's doing just fine I who who's
54:50
your president again is he doing okay hopefully by the time that this drops that America will still have electricity
54:56
you know I mean that's kind of how I'm you don't want to get me on a on a ra on a rant about on Trump it's
55:03
Arnold is actually probably the one of the singled digigit Republicans in this
55:09
country that I tolerate and respect yeah yeah right there's no way any way in any
55:15
way shape or form the Terminator franchise or T1 or T2 would ever be on anyone's worst list come on my fiance
55:21
has not really ever seen any swarzenegger movies at all as we record this dark Fate's coming out soon so I
55:28
might use that as an excuse to get him to watch Terminator and Terminator 2 yeah because dark fate is a direct
55:34
sequel to T2 yes yes yeah it's a rebooted T3 essentially sort of so for
55:40
our listeners who have any interest in The Terminator films and you think to yourself gee I want to go see let's you know we're we're sponsored by Terminator
55:47
dark fate so we'd like to thank our sponsor Terminator dark fate yeah it's a direct sequel the t2 so
55:54
keep that in mind my dad got in trouble for letting me watch Terminator 2 when I
55:59
was probably way way way too young because it scared the absolute crap out
56:05
of me oh really so scared a Terminator 2 but you want to know what scene jacked
56:11
me up the most sure when the security guard walks and he sees the other
56:16
Terminator who turns into people and stabs them through his eye that oh my
56:22
God that scared the crap out of me awesome no I mean it was yeah but you were younger of course I saw this movie
56:30
in 1991 I was the age of 16 the listeners have to understand there was no internet I didn't see any trailers I
56:37
won tickets ni yeah I was already a huge Arnold fan so I already loved Arnold saw first Terminator you know and I knew
56:44
that this was coming from the director of aliens the director of Terminator 1 the director of the Abyss so I knew
56:50
James car work very well I was already a follower of his at the time there was a comic book store that was giving away
56:57
for the first 100 people to their store free tickets to an early screening of T2
57:03
while I hopped on a bus and went down to curious comics on yat Street in Victoria British Columbia I'll never forget
57:09
they're there to this day actually still hanging on I walked in and got my tickets me and my buddy right so we go
57:15
to the theater I'll never forget the moment when Arnold because at this time
57:21
I'm thinking if you because if you see this movie you think for the T800 Arnold's Terminator
57:26
is the bad Terminator people don't understand the way the movie is filmed if you don't know it's filmed that the
57:33
cop is there to stop Arnold not from saving the boy but from killing the boy
57:39
cuz we know in the first Terminator he was a killer yeah you don't know that he is good in this movie the trailers did
57:46
not reveal this at the time this was back in the day when things were still not spoiled so spoil alert for anyone
57:51
hasn't seen T2 but yeah come on yeah but keep this in mind this was equivalent to
57:56
finding out Darth Vader was Luke's father like you didn't know this going in yeah never I never thought about that
58:02
yeah watch try to watch it thinking you don't know the story and when you watch it the Terminator is hunting for the boy
58:08
and the talking Terminator the T1000 have you seen this boy have you seen this boy we're led to believe that he has been sent back the same way that
58:14
Reese was sent back in part one when they go in that hallway and the boy uh looks back and forth between the you
58:20
know the T1000 the T800 and then Arnold pulls out the gun and little nod to Guns
58:25
and Roses you cat out the gun and roses fall out cuz G I love it s as a g r fan
58:30
I went woo in the theater and then the T1000 starts shooting and Arnold takes
58:36
the Bulls and then he shoots back I'm like why isn't he shooting the boy and then I'm like oh my gosh the cop's
58:41
trying to shoot the boy and then the things suck in and me and my buddy we literally 16 years old okay we have
58:47
never seen technology or CGI like this in our life we leaped out of our seats and hooped and hollered like we were at
58:53
a rock concert because yeah that I didn't get it from that perspective because I saw T1 and T2 you know on VHS
59:01
what is the first oh my God CGI moment in T2 for somebody who that was new
59:07
Uncharted Territory was it when he shoots when he shoots him in the head with the the shotgun it was the that hallway scene because the T1000 gets a
59:14
boom boom boom and and then the T800 stands over the uh T1000 and the bullets
59:21
sink into themselves and I'll never forget I turned to my buddy and I said how is he
59:27
gonna kill this thing and we were just on the edge of our seat the whole film we just could not believe it and then of
59:33
course when he walks out of the fire and then he readjusts his face and if you'll notice when the T1000 readjusts himself
59:40
he actually fixes his hair at the end and we were just like we couldn't believe it so I I'm telling you zip kids
59:46
are spoiled today with CGI I admit but I'm telling you I lived in the Golden Age of this advancement because for us
59:53
CGI was it was so foreign i' never seen this liquid changing motion it was like
1:00:00
I could I couldn't believe they could do this on a movie I was blown away right around that exact same time Jurassic
1:00:05
Park came out which had a lot of cutting edge CGI as well for the dinosaurs right
1:00:10
must be something in your brain because you watch Jurassic Park you watch Terminator 2 now right and it still
1:00:17
holds up smart film making same with the Star Wars original trilogy because it was done with smart and it it was done
1:00:24
with intelligence it wasn't just a bunch of CGI it was storytelling and
1:00:29
that's the key it's storytelling my co-host on no redeeming qualities Bob he's a huge movie guy like huge like his
1:00:37
dad is kind of describing the same thing you did he's told me before that it has to do with the fact that they still took
1:00:43
shadowing into consideration and lighting with the CGI versus a lot of people just do the CGI and that's why he
1:00:51
doesn't blend in with the scene as well yeah yeah I like it you ready for your worst pick I hope our fans have listen I
1:00:57
mean fans listen I hope our fans have enjoyed our exhaustive SL not exhaustive because really you could have an Arnold
1:01:03
podcast easily and I think there's probably some oh because there's some gems that aren't even on this list uh
1:01:09
Running Man Commando as far as the worst of these I it's got to go to it it's got
1:01:16
to be a racer oh wow I mean b i don't man because Batman and Robin Batman and
1:01:23
Robin at least is so bad that it's almost funny right yeah yeah it's but
1:01:28
eraser is just so forgettable here's how it works to help you if you want to
1:01:34
stick with your choice absolutely cuz you can change the rules you can change before the episode end you are forced to
1:01:39
watch all these movies again but you get to pick one not to watch if that makes sense which one can you say I don't have
1:01:46
to watch that one so I'm forced to watch all these movies but you get to get rid of one I will actually change my answer
1:01:51
to end of days yeah yeah yeah despite my feelings on end of days the reason why
1:01:57
I'm not picking that it's close I think it's my second to be honest with you if I was forced to watch all these again which some would love to do again the
1:02:02
one that I could do without seeing again cuz I have seen it all the way through in the end of the days it would just be interesting for me to watch it again
1:02:07
with my eyes of today and the fact that I haven't quite finished the movie I might as well see the ending uh junior
1:02:15
the whole idea of a pregnant man is repulsive to [Laughter]
1:02:21
me the comedy quickly depleted with the idea of a man being pregnant when you saw Arnold pregnant and the idea there's
1:02:29
a baby in that stomach and I'm like oh my gosh there's no part of his body that ACC that truly because the male body is
1:02:36
just different than the female body and there's just nowhere where is this baby being handled in this body whereas the
1:02:42
placenta and I was just like I couldn't all I could do was Envision a baby growing in Arnold's
1:02:48
tummy and I was just it might be the grossest image I've ever had in my life obviously the baby was a
1:02:57
C-section you would think that they would be like let's pick the most
1:03:03
muscular tough person that we're going to have to cut through to get to this baby doesn't he
1:03:10
have abs yeah that's what I'm saying like okay all right all right all right oh see that's well I don't know I mean
1:03:15
how does it work with a lady who has a C-section I don't know I guess I guess they what they have to they have to cut
1:03:21
open all that body part to get the baby so I guess they would have to cut his abs open those pressure just ABS would
1:03:26
have been well hold on hold on am I wrong I don't know I I think a C-section is kind of more across the pubic area
1:03:34
where the stomach meets the waist okay and not directly over the stomach oh
1:03:39
gosh okay so maybe you don't have to cut through ABS is this grossing you out no I well I I'm not a big medical there's a
1:03:46
reason I'm not a doctor one I'm not smart I well you know me and my fiance we're a same-sex couple and uh we're
1:03:52
looking to have a kid in the next couple years so this I I mean which one of you this is what we're going to have to do
1:03:58
this is what we're going to have to do yeah so you know I think I was going to need to research the film to see how one
1:04:04
of you can okay oh that's hilarious so that that's
1:04:10
my that's my worst because it's not only is it just not funny really any I don't think it would hold up uh I I think I
1:04:18
would rather just see how end of days ends How does Arnold you want to see the
1:04:23
end of end of days yes how does Arnold beat up the devil oh my goodness okay well thank you
1:04:30

crash in fact I will say cuz I've listened to every single one of your episodes from day one I will say that
1:05:07
you guys have eased up a little bit you're a little bit more user friendly that was actually a conscious decision
1:05:13
when we started to get a fan base was it's kind of like if this offensive
1:05:18
content is going to push away more people than it would pull in then what's
1:05:23
the point no you that's fine you know doesn't but I want to I want to make it known as a longtime listener since day
1:05:29
one or since episode one that it has not taken away from your uh your content or
1:05:35
your uh the way you deliver and I will say that in fact I think it actually has helped you guys are very smart I want to
1:05:42
say that I want I'm not trying to blow smoke up your butt but take it anyways you guys are quite intelligent with your commentary both whether it's about
1:05:48
