Conan - Hitting the Gym with Kevin Hart

Conan works out with Kevin Hart. It's funny that they've made a remote about something as mundane as the gym but I think that speaks to the confidence they have in Hart.

Incidentally, "football stadium" equals Lincoln Financial Field.

Feels like a Road House Saturday

Rifftrax recently released a new "three riffer" track for "Road House" (they had previously released one that was just Mike. Today felt like the day for it.... It could be my new Saturday night thing.

Paper covers Rock, Mijo.

I think the reason "Road House" has such timeless appeal is that even after multiple viewings, it still remains enigmatic. (Incidentally, this fact may be the only thing "Road House" has in common with "Citizen Kane".) The movie comprises two totally different tones but transitions from one to the other very slowly. I always wonder why they didn't keep it lighthearted and happy as we watch the Double Deuce succeed as a business. I'd sure love to see that movie. But instead the real end of the movie is a dark revenge story full of throat-ripping kill-murders. It's actually not far off from "Miami Connection" in that regard.

Hi, I'm here for karate hardware store practice.

Has there ever been a time or place where bouncers were legends, whose exploits were whispered in hushed tones from town to town? I'd love it if there was but it's hard to imagine. Has there ever been a business that turned around so completely due solely to the quality of the bouncers? Again, I hope so but it seems unlikely. This movie is part of the "rich guy has an iron grip on an entire town" genre that was so popular in the 80s. Did anything like this ever happen? What happened to the police, or any governmental authority for that matter?

Thought maybe we could have a picnic on my dress.

In the end, the Rifftax of "Road House" is quite charming and I recommend it. "Road House" is certainly the right movie for the Rifftrax treatment.

Stand By Me

Today I re-watched the film "Stand By Me" and I happened to watch it on the very day that it takes place. I wasn't meaning to do that, it was just a funny coincidence. Technically, it takes place over two days.

It's still a great movie.

I watched it when I was almost as young as the kids in the movie and now I've watched it when I'm about the age of the adult in the movie. I remember being a kid and thinking how sad and unthinkable the ending is. Now that I'm an adult, it's even sadder because it's not unthinkable.

Magic with The Roots

The Roots are always good for a tremendous reaction shot. I'd like to see an entire act with them. The venue would need really great fire exits.



Here's a previous appearance which elicits a similar reaction.
