00:00:02
Speaker 1: This is a HeadGum Podcast. What's up, shitheads?
00:00:12
Speaker 2: Welcome back to another episode of High and Mighty.
00:00:15
Speaker 1: It's me, your boy, the number one.
00:00:19
Speaker 2: Fuckboy, Johnny G, from the south shore of Nassau County, Long Island, standing six foot two, three hundred and something. You heard the Ozempic conversation in the last couple of weeks.
00:00:32
Speaker 1: So has my cardiologist. It's Johnny G.
00:00:37
Speaker 2: All you got to do is trust me. Jackson Maine from A Star is Born? What are you doing here? I'm going to fucking kill myself. Give my dog a steak. Give your dog a steak. Also joining me in the High and Mighty Studios. Not in the High and Mighty Studios. I'm in the Chef Kevin Shed. The Chef Shed, if you will.
00:00:53
Speaker 1: Holy shit.
00:00:54
Speaker 2: We are doing a very special episode of High and Mighty as we wind down to episode 500. This might be the first you're hearing that I'm ending at episode 500, making it unglamorous.
00:01:03
Speaker 1: This one is for Arthur Gabrus, R.I.P. my nearly silent co-host.
00:01:10
Speaker 2: Now, we did a reverse Star is Born. He left a steak on the plate for me, and then he hung himself in my office.
00:01:17
Speaker 3: Oh!
00:01:18
Speaker 1: Arthur!
00:01:19
Speaker 2: Joining me in the Chef Kevin studios for an episode, a very special episode of High and Mighty. It's from episode 2 7 21. Probably my most recurring guest that don't drink alcohol. It's Ben Rogers and Ryan.
00:01:34
Speaker 1: Stanger of the Action Boys! Wow! The Action Boys are here back on High and Mighty.
00:01:42
Speaker 2: Happy to have you guys as I go through all the greats Coming down the homestretch here. How could I not ask you guys to do another two hours of talking?
00:01:52
Speaker 1: To be the Alpha and Omega.
00:01:53
Speaker 2: Much like the bomb beneath the planet of the apes.
00:02:00
Speaker 1: It feels good to come back to where this show started as you heard the teaser. You guys were- High and Mighty is winding down. That was a good tease, Gabers, because you got to hype this stuff a little bit. Now everybody's going to freak the fuck out. And they'll be there for episode 500. You can't just fucking- Strap in, bitches. Get a little chatter going about that. A little buzzing, a little gossip, a little chatter. And everybody will be like, well, I got to tune in to the Action Boys episode to hear about the ending of High and Mighty.
00:02:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got to watch that Action Boys episode because Gabrus is going to Bud Dwyer himself.
00:02:37
Speaker 1: High and Mighty. Gabrus, did you win Best Host in one of the early years of High and Mighty? I feel like you did. I won some award early on, and I forget what it was. I think it was Most Improved Player.
00:02:53
Speaker 2: I started talking into the mic on episode 145, so people were impressed.
00:02:58
Speaker 1: A Spirit Award is always a rough one to win.
00:03:02
Speaker 2: I did get most improved player my senior year of high school, which just means he's now on special teams.
00:03:08
Speaker 1: He was useless for three years. He didn't break the bench. Well, as we look back on High and Mighty and our old episodes, and it's also a new year, we're looking forward. I thought it would be fun if we looked at times in some of the movies we've done. Now, a big... subgenre of action movies are science fiction action movies. And we have done a ton. A ton of movies set in the future. And one of the weird things about living in this time now, 2025, very futuristic year. It's like a looks futuristic written out. It's weird. The last few years have. And I thought it would be fun to look back at some of the future movies we have done and decide if we are before it or after it in this current time of 2025. So we will name a movie. You guys will, we'll say if it's, if it's now in the past, Or if it's still coming up in the future, or this is the cop-out answer, near future. They didn't give us the time. Prepare for a lot of near futures for me. Which is the cop-out answer? I'd like to cop out again, sir.
00:04:30
Speaker 4: All right.
00:04:31
Speaker 1: You know, this is just film for entertainment purposes. There's no prize.
00:04:37
Speaker 5: Pass.
00:04:37
Speaker 1: I think people that listen are fascinated by a non-answer.
00:04:43
Speaker 2: Okay.
00:04:44
Speaker 1: So, of course, I've gone above and beyond. We have a lot of movies to go to. We've done a shocking amount of movies set in the future. Finally figured out how to get Rogers to do a bunch of work for High and Mighty. Yeah. So if you want a taste of what our show is like, it's kind of like this. With more. Pass. I pass. Two confused guys and one guy who did more than he should have.
00:05:07
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:05:08
Speaker 5: Anything we can do to activate Ben's perfectionism and put him to work.
00:05:13
Speaker 1: Well, okay, we talked about the Alpha and Omega, the bomb from beneath the Planet of the Apes. This is a good place to start. We just covered this movie on the show. Do you think we are before or after Planet of the Apes in the year 2025? I believe we are before, Stanger. near future. No, no, no, no. Definitely before. It's three niner five five. Wow, Gabriel! Three niner five or fiver is what I remember.
00:05:44
Speaker 5: Yeah, we were doing niner and also it was a mistake that they made.
00:05:49
Speaker 1: It was wrong. It was wrong also. 25 years off or something from Planet of the Apes. Just lazy. A fascinating lazy mistake. A fun movie where we get to see General Ursus, the gorilla in the sauna. Yeah.
00:06:02
Speaker 5: Yeah, we see a sauna scene. We see two apes in bad costumes in the sauna.
00:06:06
Speaker 1: Here's a fun one. TC-2000. TC-2000. Okay. A movie from 1993. Well, this is what.
00:06:16
Speaker 2: The fun part of this game, obvious to us, but maybe not to listeners, is you watch a movie from the 70s. It's like in the super future of 2001. So this is a movie from 1993.
00:06:25
Speaker 1: It's set in the future.
00:06:25
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:06:25
Speaker 2: They.
00:06:31
Speaker 1: Do you guys think it's near future? We've already passed it in 2025?
00:06:36
Speaker 5: Well, it's starring the great Billy Blanks of Taibo fame.
00:06:41
Speaker 2: I believe in 2025 now, we still do not have tracker communicator technology.
00:06:46
Speaker 1: Tracker communicator is what Billy Blanks' Jason Storm is. His brother is hard to kill, and he is TC. TC. Jason and Mason Storm. TC stands for tracker communicator.
00:06:59
Speaker 5: Communicator communicator um jason storm better than jason born can i give.
00:07:04
Speaker 1: You guys a a hint 2000 is not the year it's not the year it's the model of the of the tracker communicator i'm gonna go uh we are we are before the events of tc 2000 i'm gonna say after stanger is right we are after it's set in 2020 2020, also a very futuristic year. I think 2000 and 2020 are two of the most futuristic years. Can I tell you, five kicks us past, you know, past. Yes, Stanger. That's one thing I did notice. 2024 is the setting of a lot of movies we've covered. Weird.
00:07:39
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:07:39
Speaker 1: Probably because of the way it looks written, because I think that is kind of like- 2025 is like too perfect.
00:07:44
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:07:44
Speaker 1: It's like- So it's like- It's too much of a quarter qualifier, so it's like a little- I'm a great writer, so I'll put this before- I've had sex with 91 women.
00:07:52
Speaker 2: Meh.
00:07:52
Speaker 1: 71. That reads better. Do you guys remember when we made a trip to Delos, the amusement park that contains Westworld? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I do now. Westworld. Delos? Westworld. Westworld, the movie from 1973. What do we think? Before or after? Before. Yeah. Well, you think we're before it now? Yes.
00:08:18
Speaker 2: Yes.
00:08:19
Speaker 1: This is a cop-out. It's the near future. And for all our listeners who have a problem with some of the results here, I am going off of. the broken internet, what I can find there. I'm not actually rewatching all these movies. So if I missed a couple, maybe they throw a date in the background or there's some weird fucking comic book adaptation that like aliens.
00:08:44
Speaker 2: The old Brenner's credit card says the year is 2006.
00:08:49
Speaker 1: Kill yourselves guys.
00:08:50
Speaker 5: Also listen to action boys. If you want to hear how the internet sucks now. Um, also we did establish that, or maybe just, I did that, uh, we, uh, We think that present world would have been a good idea for work as.
00:09:05
Speaker 1: An amusement park. Yeah, I think that was just you. Might have been just me. Who knows? Listen to the show and see. Okay.
00:09:10
Speaker 2: And I think we know this already, but I did work at Westworld in the near future. I'm the guy who scoops the cum out of all those android horses. You know if you go to Westworld, you can kill whoever you want and fuck whoever.
00:09:23
Speaker 1: Can I fuck one of these horses? I'll be in the stable. I think you're supposed to put peanut butter in the horse's mouth, sir. No, trust me. I'm putting it on my balls. I'll be in Looney Tunes land. I didn't agree to a cream pie. If you want to know what our show is. Cream pie? We'll finish inside. It's okay.
00:09:51
Speaker 2: We can't get pregnant. I'm having a centaur. But I'm your mom's horse. It's okay. It's my step horse.
00:10:06
Speaker 1: Okay, Zardoz, 1974. Zardoz, if you take Wizard of Oz and get rid of the of and the whiz, you get Zardoz or the we.
00:10:17
Speaker 2: I wish I stood up and had the bottom half.
00:10:22
Speaker 1: You dress like that to see Wicked, right? Standing with like a ponytail and a pistol like this. Hey, could you stop singing, man? Fuck you. Okay, can I just say, this is not a cop-out. Okay. I did give us a date. I have a feeling it's like we are before Zardoz. I'm saying before as well. Good job, guys.
00:10:48
Speaker 6: 2293.
00:10:48
Speaker 1: We're doing good. This is the Eternals and the Brutals were in that. Sean Connery plays one of the Brutals. And that's what I would want to be. Not those fuckers. I'm going to buzz through the cop-out ones because that's no fun. Robot jocks. Sadly, that one's a cop-out. Make a choice. Achilles. Remember that one? And the gen jocks. Genetically altered. Crash and burn. Yeah, crash and burn, baby. Escape from L.A. This is a good one. Where we meet Map to the Stars Eddie, Steve Buscemi's character. And we get Bruce Campbell. Bruce Campbell is the Surgeon General of Beverly Hills. That one's a cop-out. No, this is not. This one has a date. This one has a date. I'll say we're before. No, no, no, no. We're after. My guess is also after. We are after.
00:11:41
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:11:41
Speaker 1: Thank God I fucking changed it. That was a close one. Everybody got nervous.
00:11:46
Speaker 2: For the listeners, we did stop down. Stanger got out a laptop and looked it up because he was refused. He keeps saying, I refuse to lose again.
00:11:53
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I don't know what he's.
00:11:55
Speaker 4: Also, come on.
00:11:58
Speaker 5: We agreed to leave all that out. Don't fucking light me up. We stopped down ten times. Come on, you broke his confidence. We don't bring up that stuff.
00:12:06
Speaker 2: This time was annoying because the first laptop was dead and we had to charge it and then you were like, let me go get my car laptop.
00:12:11
Speaker 1: Okay, we agreed to protect me on the episode. Here's a good one. Soylent Green. A lot of 1973 movies we did, I'm learning. Soylent Green. This is with Detective Thorne, Charlton Heston, Saul Roth, Edward Robinson, who dies the way we all want to do in a giant movie theater.
00:12:36
Speaker 2: I just want to go to the Vista and during the intermission of The Brutalist have someone just snap my neck.
00:12:43
Speaker 5: More than just seeing flowers and orchards and shit.
00:12:46
Speaker 1: I want to watch a full movie. Orange lights.
00:12:48
Speaker 2: I want to watch Manhunter on the big screen and then get killed at the end. During Strong As I Am.
00:12:53
Speaker 1: For me, it's Red Dragon. The better movie. Rat Pack Entertainment. The far superior Red Dragon. I'm going to go with after. We are after that. I'm going to say we're before that. We are after. It's 2022. Whoa. Just made it. Just squeaked by. 2022. Oh, God.
00:13:15
Speaker 2: I'm not going to lie. The whole time I've been going like, will I be alive for this?
00:13:18
Speaker 1: And then one of them was like 23. I was like, okay, no.
00:13:22
Speaker 4: 2022?
00:13:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, most likely. I was more or less alive then. Let's go back to the 90s with Free Jack, 1992. Emilio Estevez's Alex Furlong, Formula One racer. Turned Free Jack. Mick Jagger's Victor Vesendik. This is a movie with bonejackers who are stealing people who are about to die in the past to use their body for future rich people. Actually, kind of a cool idea. The execution, not so great. Now, are we before or after the time of freejacks, which is what they call bonejacked people who escape? Wish my wife was a bonejacker.
00:14:02
Speaker 2: This is a little confusing because we do have bonejacking technology now. In real life, but are we ahead of the curve or the movie's prediction or are we behind it? That's the question. I'm saying we're before.
00:14:13
Speaker 1: I think we're after. We are after. Free Jack is a mere 10 years after 1992. It's 2002. Wow. Free Jack, where 9-11 never happened, but bone jacking did. God, the bone jackers could have made out like bandits on 9-11.
00:14:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, As long as Buster Poindexter is your fucking agent, you're fine.
00:14:47
Speaker 2: Good morning and welcome to the advertising portion of High and Mighty. I'm saying good morning because I slept so great last night.
00:14:55
Speaker 1: And you know why?
00:14:56
Speaker 2: Because I got a Lisa mattress. Honestly, I'm a sweater. You can guess that by my size. And I live in the Southern California desert. But the Leesa Hybrid mattress I got keeps me so cool. No joke, it's the most comfortable mattress. I'm not a mattress expert, but it is the most comfortable mattress I personally have ever had. They have different mattresses and models to choose from, each designed for a specific sleep position and feel preferences. High quality materials, meticulous designs. They are assembled in America. And delivery is free. Returns are easy. You have a hundred nights to try your mattress in the comfort of your home. It's truly the most comfortable. I can't explain it because I'm not very smart, but it's firm and soft at the same time. So as a side sleeper, I don't absolutely dislocate my shoulder every night, but I also don't sink all the way in as a 300 pounder and frequently with previous mattresses, I would sink so much in that my wife would have to like no choice but to roll towards me because I'd create such a steep incline. But now it doesn't happen anymore. So this has been a huge improvement for both of us. And we're able to offer 20% off now. So if you go to lisa.com today to order your mattress, Lisa is offering 20% off all mattress orders And two free pillows for our listeners. That's L-E-E-S-A dot com. Remember, no matter who you are, there's a Lisa just for you. L-E-E-S-A dot com. And get a chance. Go to Lisa dot com today. 20% off mattress orders and two free pillows for our listeners. If you get the opportunity to say where you heard it, tell them it was the High and Mighty podcast.
00:16:35
Speaker 1: But Lisa, baby. uh no escape 1994 oh ray lance henriksen yeah lance henriksen.
00:16:50
Speaker 6: What's the name absalon do you guys remember what every morning we gotta wake up and go uh what is the name of the island on no escape absalon okay good you are allowed to continue.
00:17:03
Speaker 1: Your day uh absalon and the year was an alternate title Oh, shit. This is where Ray Liotta gets convicted and goes to prison for the death of innocents in Benghazi. Oh, my God.
00:17:18
Speaker 5: This is also pretty close to Goodfellas, and he did a big body transformation for this. Yeah, this is four years after Goodfellas was released. Yeah, I'm taking it serious. We're doing fucking.
00:17:32
Speaker 1: And Matt Dillon is like his little, like, fucking scurrying around. Or is it Kevin? One of the Dillons. Kevin. And we are very close to this year. Ooh. So before or after? I think we're before. I'll say after. Okay, we are after. Thank God. 2022.
00:17:47
Speaker 3: Ooh.
00:17:47
Speaker 1: We really just crossed over into passing a lot of these movies, which is terrifying.
00:17:53
Speaker 5: The reason I remember the name of it is Absalon is because it replaced absolutely for me.
00:18:02
Speaker 1: Can I get you another beer? Absalom.
00:18:05
Speaker 6: Okay.
00:18:06
Speaker 1: All right, Buckface. Here you go. Are you meeting anyone here? I got to cut you off. I knew you were ordering for the first time. I know this is one, but your first drink and you're dead sober. I'm sorry, buddy, but you got to get out of here. I know this is a Heineken Zero, but I got to cut you off.
00:18:25
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:18:26
Speaker 1: Will you leave? Absolutely. On my TC2000, Death Race 2000 does say the year. I thought it is past. Yes, this is a gimme. Stanger. But I thought it was fun to see that. Bust out the laptop. It's the fallout from the world crash of 79. Ooh. This is with the great Don Steele as Junior Bruce. Oh, yeah. The real Don Steele. A fine kill. A neat kill.
00:19:02
Speaker 2: That dude has turned up in so much stuff since then. Like, I catch him all the time. Like, that voice is so recognizable. I see him in so much shit.
00:19:10
Speaker 1: Great role in Gremlins, which we will be covering on Action Boys in 2020.
00:19:15
Speaker 2: I just watched it. that's what I'm thinking of. I watched it like 10 days ago with Tiff.
00:19:19
Speaker 1: Okay. So T2, a movie we've talked about quite endlessly from 1991. Uh, any guesses as to, um, when John Connor is from? Yes. What year is, is, is the T 800 sent from in T2? Are we before it or after it? Uh, uh, Judgment Day is 1997, according to the film. August 29th, 1990.
00:19:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, Skynet becomes a certain thing, but how long do the humans kind of last until we're in that treads running over skulls?
00:19:52
Speaker 1: What year are they sending the T-1000 and the T-800 for Terminator 2? Are we before it or after it? There's another close one. Yeah, we're before it. It's like 2050. Stanger? Oh, fucking A. I'll say we're after. We are before. It's 2029. Coming up. Holy shit. Coming up.
00:20:15
Speaker 2: Oh, cool.
00:20:16
Speaker 1: My very own year. My own birthday. Oh, here's another good one. Cherry 2000. Now, like TC2000, it is not the year. It is the model number for Cherry 2000. This is with Sam Treadwell looking for his sex doll with tracker E. Johnson. Solicits the health of Melanie Griffith. Melanie Griffith, not Cherry 2000. Not Cherry 2000.
00:20:44
Speaker 4: No, sir.
00:20:45
Speaker 1: Melanie Griffith is the tracker. E. Johnson. Edith. Yeah.
00:20:52
Speaker 5: And also not Jonathan E. from Rollerball. E. Johnson from Cherry 2000. They did give us a year.
00:21:00
Speaker 1: Are we before or after Cherry 2000, do you think? We're after. After. We are after. Good job, fellows.
00:21:06
Speaker 3: It's 2017.
00:21:06
Speaker 1: Ooh. Interesting choice again. Here's a tricky one. Virtuosity from 1995. Now, it starts in the present. Oh, right. And this is with our boy Sid 6.7. Oh, my God.
00:21:23
Speaker 2: I know any time this movie comes up, I just have to talk about the list of personalities that they upload to make Sid 6.7. It's like all these serial killers, but then there's also.
00:21:37
Speaker 1: Sorry. It's like fucking, what's his name, the leader of the Khmer Rouge. Like Serpentor is on there.
00:21:47
Speaker 2: It literally has like Hitler and all these people as well.
00:21:52
Speaker 1: Lucy from Peanuts. I guess she's kind of a villain. Denzel's character. Pol Pot?
00:21:58
Speaker 4: No.
00:21:58
Speaker 1: Denzel's character, Lieutenant Barnes, goes to jail for killing the man who killed his family. Now, of course, that guy's DNA is mixed in with Sid 6.7. So they have to— the concept is very similar, actually, to another future movie, Demolition Man, which we'll also be talking about. Now, how many years go by is he in jail for before they spring him for the events of Virtuosity? So are we before or after that, do you think? We are— We are after that. We're after. Yeah, it's kind of a gimme. I'm a 6.5 guy. So yes, it's 1999. It's right before the turn of the millennium. 99's a popular one for these movies. This doesn't give us an exact date, but we will know if we were before or after because it does give us some information. The Fifth Element, 1997. Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman. Bruce Willis says, Corbin Dallas. Corbin Dallas, multi-pass. Leeloo Dallas, multi-pass.
00:23:02
Speaker 4: Leeloo.
00:23:03
Speaker 1: Mila Jovovich. Lilo Dallas Motipas. Lilo. Gary Oldman is Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg.
00:23:12
Speaker 2: One time I got my hair cut, like, really poorly, like... you know, like a fashy kind of like way too high on the side.
00:23:18
Speaker 1: And like, and it was like bad. My brother goes, you look like Gary Oldman from the fifth element. And it's such a fucking day. Cause he has like that weird plastic thing that's covered up. Yeah. That's a bad bird.
00:23:28
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
00:23:29
Speaker 1: Chris Tucker dynamite in this movie. We are before the fifth element. After. Okay, we are before its 23rd century, though it does start in, I think, ancient Egypt. Yeah, it's like Luke Perry. Or, no, the 20s. I think it's like the British excavation of... Is Luke Perry poking around in this fucking... Yeah, that might be him in the beginning. I can't remember. Oh, I don't remember. He's like, he does something with mummies at some point. Here's a surprising one. Highlander 2, The Quickening from 1991. That is set in the future.
00:24:04
Speaker 2: Wow, that's crazy. It's gotta be before now, though. Stanger before after?
00:24:11
Speaker 1: I'll say after. We are right after. It's 2024. Whoa! The idea, if you haven't seen the Highlander 2, it's completely fucking insane. The idea is after the events of 1, Christopher Lambert Duncan Connor McCloud. Oh, McCloud. Duncan McCloud is from the TV show. That's right. I hate that I know that.
00:24:46
Speaker 2: By the way, we had an Action Boys holiday party, which was just like us having lunch at Ben's house, and it was like three hours long, and it was.
00:24:52
Speaker 1: Just like this. What? It was pretty much, remember this movie? We literally are doing nothing different. Three people that lived nearby moved out. Yeah. We sat in my backyard Which is about the size of like a sauna And we did just kind of Like we could.
00:25:12
Speaker 5: Have just recorded it What's better mixing up The TV and the movie or actually knowing it I.
00:25:21
Speaker 1: Know it's a little bit.
00:25:22
Speaker 2: Of both This is the place where you have that conversation Where you're like they're actually not related But I can feel.
00:25:28
Speaker 1: It Fascinating movie Cop out the Robocop universe Near future Yeah, near future. Tom Noonan is Kane in RoboCop 2. Yes, I understand. Selling nuke, needs nuke. Streets of Fire, another near future one. That's a weird kind of like, you know, I have. I'm trying to remember. Is that like a musical sort of? It's a musical. Walter Hill. Willem Dafoe is Raven Shattuck. Oh, with the weird hair. Yeah. One of his many weird hair. Eddie and the Cruisers is in it. Rollerball. Michael Paré.
00:26:10
Speaker 2: With Stanger, it all comes back to Eddie and the Cruisers.
00:26:12
Speaker 1: Moranis got bullied him on the set. Rollerball, they did give us a date. The 1975 version of Rollerball with James Caan as Jonathan E. After. You think we're after? I think we're after. We are after, folks, it's 2018. Wow. That's further along than I thought that they were doing. Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man. We got some of the best roller ballers. It's a cop-out. They don't give us an exact date. It's near future. For Marlboro Man?
00:26:43
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:26:43
Speaker 5: We were stunned watching this that it's set in the future. And, like, they set up, like, how Burbank has become the place to be.
00:26:50
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:26:51
Speaker 1: And everybody is named after a product for some reason. The movie takes place almost exclusively in Burbank, which is such a funny choice. You know what? I think that movie is what that shitty Elvis movie that we— Wishes It Was. Wishes It Was. What was the name of that? 3,000 Miles. 3,000 Miles of Graceland. God, maybe the worst film we've watched on this show. I think so. I think so. That got me more upset than any movie. And I hadn't seen it since it came out. And I didn't like it then.
00:27:19
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:27:19
Speaker 1: But I hated it even more now.
00:27:20
Speaker 2: I was excited to give it another, this is a shadow wolves episode. If anyone's wondering, I was excited to give it like another look of like, Hey, you know, time has passed. Maybe it's even worse.
00:27:31
Speaker 1: My favorite name of the, that somebody had after a product was sure. Microphone. Did I scan the room?
00:27:39
Speaker 2: How'd you come up with that?
00:27:43
Speaker 1: Kaiser Soze. Billy Goat t-shirt, long sleeve.
00:27:48
Speaker 5: This is my friend Ultima OC White Coat.
00:27:53
Speaker 1: Here's one of our favorites featuring... Colonel Robert Neville, MD. Omega. The Omega Man, 1971. Hello. Now, it doesn't give us an exact year, but we are dealing with the fallout of the Sino-Soviet battle, which was a thing people thought would happen in the 70s, that the USSR and China would have a nuclear war. Everybody was kind of hoping. I feel like the U.S. is back on that tip. I'm like, maybe we'll just kill each other. I remember like wishing, I think the, the, the concept of, uh, uh, escape from New York where it's the U S versus Russia is Russia and China a little bit more realistic. Uh, so do you think we're before or after, uh, Omega man? We are after, we are after. Yeah. A four minute mile. Roger Barrister already. Yes. Good call. Uh, the, the, They think World War III happens 1975 to 1977. Wow.
00:28:54
Speaker 2: So that movie takes place somewhere after that.
00:28:58
Speaker 1: So it could be 78, could be 98 or whatever, but. Do you think we're before or after Hell Comes to Frogtown, 1988? After. This is with Roddy Piper as Sam Hell, one of the few men with working jizz. Yeah.
00:29:17
Speaker 2: I remember almost nothing from this movie except for, put your blouse on.
00:29:22
Speaker 1: It's like the only thing I remember, which is a bit we did. Everybody's horny. Everybody's horny. They want to fuck him. Okay, put your blouse on. Sam Hell's weird voice. Roddy Piper's. He's got a weird voice.
00:29:34
Speaker 5: And he also tells her to, she's trying to sleep with him, so she takes her blouse off. But then he tells her to, put her glasses. No, there's a weird flip that he does with glasses. Put your blouse on, take your glasses.
00:29:49
Speaker 2: Off.
00:29:49
Speaker 1: This is set in the late 20th century. Whoa. So we haven't gotten to, or so we've crossed, we've beaten, we've beaten Frogtown. Yeah, you beat, you were right. We're past it. You were right. I was in high school in the late 20th century. Put your camel jacket on. Mad Max. Take your shirt off. Universe cop out in the near future. We don't know. Yeah. I believe. Yeah. Thanks a lot, Miller. Fucking fill us in, dude. We want to know the year. Of course, I got to know how Furiosa lost her arm. Now, we do have a year for Time Cop from 1994 with Jean-Claude Van Damme as Agent Max Walker. I am Max Walker. Definitely after. Ridden my boots. Now, walk us through. Why do you think we're after a snagger? I'd like to hear the logic behind this because I think you might have it. Because they do. There's a lot.
00:30:44
Speaker 5: Attention paid to years. I feel like I remember years in it, but I don't know how.
00:30:49
Speaker 1: Because it starts in the present. And then you jump to the future after... Wife dies. Yeah, so he's got to go back in the past. You don't want to jump too far. So it's 10 years after the release date. Release was 1994. It takes place in 2004. Holy shit. You don't have to drive the car yourself. The car drives for you. 2004, what great Reese's peanut butter cups. Everyone will have mullet.
00:31:22
Speaker 7: I have to do split on my island in kitchen. I think in future mullets will be greasier. Any guess when the adventures of Judge Hershey and Judge Dredd of Mega City One are?
00:31:39
Speaker 1: Judge Dredd, 1995. They still haven't gotten Judge Dredd right.
00:31:43
Speaker 2: I liked the movie Dread, but they didn't get the character right, but that was a fun movie.
00:31:47
Speaker 1: Dread is, yeah, just like a new version of The Raid, but I enjoyed it. But, like, they've never gotten the kind of, like, fascist. They need a director like Verhoeven to be doing Judge Dread. Right. I mean, he would be the only guy who would, like, get it. Or the Russo brothers. be fucking awesome 600 million dollars awesome what do you guys think are we before or after judge dread they call it dread notice boring i never want to be in marvel i'm just kidding don't have your weapon to prepare to be born um i think we're before i think we're uh before as well we are before judge dread 22nd century 2139 absolutely Great job on that one. He's a fan of the show. Speaking of Verhoeven, let's talk about Starship Troopers 1997. Wow. Now, I have no memory of doing that. So this... They do not tell you what the year is, but in the director commentary, Verhoeven does say when it takes place. Whoa. How many guesses is the word before or after? You see the kind of work that goes into it?
00:33:01
Speaker 2: Just going off the tech available to them in the movie, I got to go that we are before it.
00:33:07
Speaker 5: Gosh, and we're, they do make some, you know, the kind of war that it is. And I think maybe after.
00:33:18
Speaker 1: We are before a 23rd century, according to the director commentary, stars Casper Van Dien as Johnny Rico. Rico's roughnecks. Now, this will be a nice plug for Zombie Squad, one of the tiers of Action Boys, which we are, we, it's still, this one hasn't been released yet. We're about to record it in this very shack for K9000 starring Catherine Oxenberg. who will marry Casper Van Dien around the time of Starship Troopers, I think.
00:33:52
Speaker 2: Isn't Catherine Oxenberg also the woman from the documentary about NXIVM?
00:33:56
Speaker 1: Her whole life is wild. We can really get into it on Zombie Squad. But you go to her Wikipedia page, you will be like, this can't be true. She's from royalty.
00:34:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's like Zelig level. She has like 25 lives, more or less. It's fucking nuts.
00:34:11
Speaker 1: I remember.
00:34:12
Speaker 2: Being so into her, she's also beautiful, like into her during the NXIVM doc, I'm like, this fucking woman did what, NXIVM?
00:34:19
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, and one of the craziest parts, she's in the movie K9000, which we're covering for Zombie Squad, made for TV. I love that she has this. Adaptation of K9. She's better than I stand by. She is royalty.
00:34:31
Speaker 2: She's been dealing with the NXIVM cult. Her family is all wealthy. She's like done millions of things. And the thing that's most intriguing to us is that she acts in K9000. And as a matter of fact, we've referenced.
00:34:41
Speaker 1: Her as she would eventually marry Casper Van Dien, which is also weirdly interesting. Married to Van Dien.
00:34:47
Speaker 5: And for those of you that don't know, K9000 is a made-for-TV pilot of a potential series that never happened that was a spinoff of the movie K9 starring Jim Belushi and what was the dog's name?
00:35:05
Speaker 1: God, I can't remember. Catherine Oxenberg also married to Robert Evans for like a day. There we go. Did she do canine? You betcha. Oh, here's the one we're real close to. Johnny Mnemonic with Dolph Lundgren as the street preacher.
00:35:24
Speaker 2: And Johnny Mnemonic also features Ice-T and a dolphin in his tank.
00:35:27
Speaker 1: Ice-T is J-Bone. And don't forget Henry Rollins' spider.
00:35:32
Speaker 3: Oh.
00:35:34
Speaker 1: So this is close. This is close to us. Johnny Mnemonic from 1995. I'm going to guess it's We Are Before It. P is silent. I think it's an M. The P is really silent. It's not even there. Johnny Ponomic. God. I'm going to say.
00:35:57
Speaker 2: There's got to be a special way to try to remember when Johnny Mnemonic comes out. There's got to be some sort of device that helps you remember. What can we call it?
00:36:09
Speaker 1: I just immediately thought of pneumonia. That's why I got to repeat.
00:36:13
Speaker 2: Does that push you before or after? Just remember the one word answer that moves the game along.
00:36:22
Speaker 1: And again, there is no prize. And we're back. Laptop is dead. Ten different giant chargers. I can't even remember what Gabrus' answer was anymore. Where before? I'm going to say before. Okay, we are after 2021 Johnny Mnemonic. Now I remember seeing that in 2021 real life. I remember seeing Johnny Mnemonic. If I didn't fumble on the word stuff, the letters, I would have got that. Oh, here's a good one. Let's just give him the point. Yeah, give me the point. Okay, this one goes to Stanger. Time to redeem yourself. Waterworld, 1995, featuring the Mariner. We all remember the Mariner, but do you guys remember Dennis Hopper's character? He's the deacon. The deacon, the leader of the smokers.
00:37:07
Speaker 6: Yeah.
00:37:08
Speaker 1: Now, what year do we think this is? Do you think we've already passed it, or are we yet to get to it? I think we're after it. I think we're after it.
00:37:18
Speaker 2: Narratively, but it's coming up rapidly scientifically. So we are way before this.
00:37:26
Speaker 1: Waterworld 2500. Oh, my God. Oh, shit, dude. That's going to be a fucking rip in century. I think they shot it too far. Way too far. That one's the one that seems to the fucking closest. 2500 is such a good guess. Let's make it 600 years from now. Planet will be gone. Star Trek II, Wrath of Khan from 1982 featuring Khan Noonien Singh. You've, by the way.
00:37:56
Speaker 2: You've mentioned so many movies, and it wasn't until Waterworld, a movie I didn't even really love, that my brain went.
00:38:01
Speaker 1: I gotta re-watch that. You didn't love it? I mean, I loved it, but it's like, it's crazy to re-watch it. The best part of, all you need to re-watch is the Universal logo where the water gets all fucking, like, where the planet gets wet, and then that's it. That's the best part.
00:38:15
Speaker 5: I think you need to get him, watch him flying out of the water because he's swimming so fast.
00:38:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, that one's pretty, I mean, you can listen to our episode where we all were hoping we would like it, and we all fucking hated it, so. i remember that much.
00:38:28
Speaker 3: I think i'm back to like trick you again let's put it on all right we're back we hated it poor kevin's on hour seven of recording this gene triple horn we've been to the apple store three times.
00:38:40
Speaker 1: Uh i do distinctly remember a story from that episode where you said genie triple horn huh to stone and he you kind of like uh, accidentally like made it awkward for him. You were like, she's pretty hot, huh? Or something like that. You did.
00:38:56
Speaker 5: He, he, my son came into the episode cause he had some thoughts on it. And so that's what it was.
00:39:01
Speaker 1: We spoke to him. Yeah. Yeah.
00:39:03
Speaker 5: And so, uh, I was going to ask him the question that kind of the prompt that would tell him, tell us what he, where he would tell us what he thought. And then I just asked him a question about gene triple horn and you can, he's really little and you can hear him go, wait, what?
00:39:16
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:39:21
Speaker 1: Threw him under the bus. He's like, uh, before. He's like, double horn. We're like, what? More than quadruple horned if you ask me. What was the question again? Star Trek 2. Star Trek 2. Are we before or after? Corinthian leather. The world of Star Trek.
00:39:42
Speaker 2: We know that the incline press has been invented at this point, right?
00:39:46
Speaker 1: Yeah. Upper pecs are being developed. Cons pecs, of course. This is mostly known for the pecs of our villain who are framed by his necklace and shirt collar that a lot of people thought was a chess piece, but no. Just Ricardo Montalban.
00:40:02
Speaker 2: Ricardo Montalban is just that fucking- gorgeous skin that is really developed and then sort of corseted up.
00:40:10
Speaker 1: Yes.
00:40:11
Speaker 5: He's got super packs and like crazy separation. Also filmmakers and people involved, tired of answering the question about it.
00:40:18
Speaker 1: Yeah. Really annoyed. They are annoyed by it. Uh, We're before, right? We're before. This is 23rd century. It's not until the next generation that this all starts happening. Yeah, 2285. Whoa. I have good feelings about that year. 2,285 pounds. It is crazy that it's like... I'm an elephant. I did it. Wow, yeah. Okay, Star Trek II, and then you go another fucking 200 years and get to Waterworld? Yeah, a little bit of slowdown in tech. Okay, this is a tough one.
00:40:53
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, how do they have those fucking jet skis and stuff?
00:40:56
Speaker 1: Those things lasted? They lasted 600 years. Yeah, it's fucking crazy. And again, maybe the internet is wrong. Cyborg is a tough one because they don't give us an exact date, but it's around now. But we got to talk about, you know, we got to mention it since we covered it on the show with one of the great intros where I actually rewatched the intro thinking they must give us the date. And instead it's like, The strongest scientists are trying to fix it, but I don't want to. I like this world! Fender. Fender Stratocaster. This is with Gibson Rickenbacker, John Claude Van Damme's character, who is not the cyborg, by the way. Not the cyborg. Nor is the... The villain is also not the cyborg.
00:41:40
Speaker 2: The guy who has weird digital eyes is not the cyborg either.
00:41:47
Speaker 1: Here's one of our favorites. with Tom Selleck as Sergeant Jack Ramsey. Oh, and he's got the electronic scatter suit on. Runaway from 1984. Gene Simmons as a bad guy. Gene Simmons as Dr. Luther. I randomly got.
00:42:01
Speaker 2: Served a Gene Simmons thing on Instagram Reels, and he speaks like six different languages in the conversation amongst people. Like, he responds in Korean to a guy speaking Korean.
00:42:10
Speaker 1: He was like a professor and stuff before he got into music. Before he figured out that he just wants to rock and roll.
00:42:17
Speaker 3: Um.
00:42:20
Speaker 1: Stan, you ever see Gene Simmons hiking or anything like that? Listen to action, boys. It's been brought up. Clown white. I've been putting this makeup on longer than you're alive. Anyway, I guess I'll just take the Kiss pinball machine. What year do we think? Are we before or after Runaway? Kirstie Alley. Where everybody has robots and some of the robots start killing people. Is this a Stephen King story, too? No, this is a Crichton. Crichton, that's right. And Crichton director. Crichton director, yeah, as well. Good memory.
00:43:00
Speaker 2: All shooting down. He insists on holding the camera. Crichton, who's like eight feet tall. Stand next to Gene Simmons, your fucking tiny little Selick in your little fucking.
00:43:11
Speaker 1: I think Simmons is big. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
00:43:13
Speaker 7: Yeah, right?
00:43:13
Speaker 1: Creighton Simmons and little Tom Selleck. And Selick is big, too. He's like, I gotta get all big guys. I don't want to look like a freak in the director chair.
00:43:23
Speaker 5: Gene Simmons had to wear the kiss boots to get notes from Creighton.
00:43:28
Speaker 1: She's very attractive. Michael... What's a scatter suit, Michael? Michael, I built a scatter suit for real. I'm going to go with after.
00:43:41
Speaker 5: I know DNA is in the insects. That's how you got the idea from Gene Simmons.
00:43:47
Speaker 1: I'm saying... Rising sun scared the hell out of me, Michael.
00:43:52
Speaker 4: I didn't know you could die from gasping. I didn't know gasping was dangerous. You know my hair is inspired by Samurai. I like how it scared him. He's like, I got to stop all these kinks because I could fucking die. I'm going to say we're before.
00:44:09
Speaker 1: We are after Runaways set in the futurist gear of 1991. Oh, amazing.
00:44:14
Speaker 5: That makes sense for how it looked.
00:44:21
Speaker 1: Yeah. When did the movie get made?
00:44:23
Speaker 5: 84.
00:44:23
Speaker 1: And probably seven years. You know, you got to give them credit of like not saying near future. They're at least giving it something. And robos. Yeah, the robos. Yeah. Yeah, and the robos. And the robos. I felt like I was getting, like, I wanted a toy that my parents would never buy me. The movie did have actual robots in it, which is what was one of the cool things about it. Enemy Mine, 1985. With grapefruiting Jerry, Louis Gossett Jr. Balsam. Tarwich. Uncal, you look terrible. And he shaves his beard. Has anyone talked about Enemy Mind more than us? Dude, I got in trouble on a job in Enemy Mind. I never told you guys this, did I? No, you did, but I'm not. Tell it. Yeah, tell it now. So yeah, I can tell it now. I was on a job, I won't name it, but the showrunner was like, well, it's like an Enemy Mind situation. And he explained what he thought, and I was like, well, that's actually not what the movie's about. He was like, what are you talking about? I was like, have you seen Enemy Mind? He's like, yeah, of course. I was like, well, that's not what the movie is about. And then the whole room went quiet, and we had just covered Enemy Mind. And then talked about it for three hours after. Kind of gets in your memory a little more. That wouldn't have mattered, though.
00:45:53
Speaker 5: Yes.
00:45:53
Speaker 1: And this dude got like weirdly embarrassed that like, and I was like, so it's like what you're talking about is a different thing and we could do that. But it's, I mean, an enemy, like you reference enemy mind a lot. You should know he would bring up the movie constantly. And I was like, you should know that is not what the, like you've created a different movie in your head and it's, and that's not the plot of the film. And if you're a normal person, you're just like, oh, what? You know? Oh, cool.
00:46:22
Speaker 5: And then nobody would care and it would be totally fine.
00:46:25
Speaker 1: I mean, I was saving him future embarrassment from someone else like me. When he finally met Lou Gossett Jr. and blew it. That Wolfgang Peterson, I think it is. It is. Yeah. Before or after? A word before. Before. I keep accidentally using the real tech in the movie and being like, well, we couldn't do that. In my head, I keep going like, well, we don't have that kind of space travel yet. Well, obviously, we've never met that alien, so we gotta be before. I would know. I think I would know if we met that alien. I think I would know if bonejackers existed. We are before. We are before late 21st century. That's all that it gives us, but we're still early 21st century. Predator 2 from 1990. a movie whose director once told me I was bad. What's that story again? This director, probably like the meanest like feedback I've ever gotten for an audition for like an under two. He was like, like, two-line scene, and he was, like, fucking just, like, wildly dismissive and insulting to me. Oh, shit. Crazy that he was even in the room for those. Yes.
00:47:32
Speaker 5: Do you remember, or do you know any of the other movies he's done? I feel like we've talked about... He mostly has done TV.
00:47:39
Speaker 1: TV, okay. And this was for a TV show that I was auditioning. But, yeah, yeah, he was in there, and he was, like, he did not like me. But I like Predator 2 nonetheless. I think we're after Predator 2. After, I agree. Because they're kind of hitting, right? It's kind of like... Yeah, so it's movie released 1990. 1997, Dana Glover as Mike Harrigan.
00:47:58
Speaker 2: They're leaning too hard on, like, the violence of L.A. to make it too far. Incredible cast. Cast is stunning.
00:48:06
Speaker 1: Hell, if you want a semen sample, I'll just give you a pair of my drawers. You get all three. I can't remember that joke, but it's in my head. We brought up Escape from L.A., Escape from New York, set before it in the futuristic year of 1997. Jesus. Wow. So that was in the cinematic universe of Predator 2. Here's a tough.
00:48:26
Speaker 2: One.
00:48:27
Speaker 1: Total Recall, 1990. One of our favorites. Arnold Schwarzenegger as Douglas Quaid or Carl Hauser. Hauser is actually a friend of mine.
00:48:43
Speaker 2: I think we're before Total Recall. Gosh, it's fucking beads of sweat. I didn't think you would be taking this seriously. I kind of could have guessed it.
00:48:55
Speaker 5: After the silent pee snafu, I feel like I've got to seem smart again. I got to feel like I got to seem smart again. Everybody thinks I'm smart. I don't want to lose that.
00:49:05
Speaker 1: Got to keep this up. We are after Total. Oh, wow. Gabrus is right. We are before Total Recall 2084. 2084. We could be alive for Total Recall. Trying to keep it interesting. 60 more years. That puts me at 102. You're going to live to 102? I don't know. With this kind of longevity. Yeah, I got to just get my Manjaro squared away and I'll live forever. Hey, what's up? You're listening to episode 600 of Being Fat.
00:49:37
Speaker 2: I'm with the Mike Mitchell AI. I'm with the Mitch head in a jar. Big fucking jar.
00:49:44
Speaker 5: Wouldn't it be so much better if these Waymos had the Johnny Cab thing?
00:49:48
Speaker 1: Tech. Hell of a day, isn't it? I would. I wish they did. Why is it that hard to put a fucking fake robot driver in there? They fucking have that shit. Fucking beautiful sex doll with her tits out.
00:50:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, they could just use the same tech they did for an aerial animatronic at Disneyland.
00:50:09
Speaker 1: Like a pirate. Now, according to the Internet, Aliens, which we covered, takes place in 2179. But I don't remember it being mentioned in the movie, so I'm not going to include it. I think that's kind of stuff that's done more recently. Yeah, because especially with these extended universe movies and shit like that. Well, she's asleep for 60 years. Here's a tricky one. And her bush hair doesn't grow that much.
00:50:33
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:50:34
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the only way you can date it is by like bush hair. I don't think you need to say hair. Bush. I think bush covers it. I'm talking about the hair of a bush. It's like saying manless drone. It's like saying George W. Yes. I think you mean L. Demolition Man, this is a tricky one. Demolition Man from 1993 with Sly as Spartan and Snipes as Phoenix. And then we got Sandra Bullock as Lenina Huxley. Wow, I didn't even put that together, the Huxley get there.
00:51:16
Speaker 2: And then you have Dennis Leary as Dennis Leary doing six minutes from his actual hour in the movie.
00:51:21
Speaker 1: The funniest guy in San Angeles.
00:51:23
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:51:25
Speaker 1: Now, this movie takes place after the fast food wars, so... Yeah, Taco Bell's the only restaurant. Rat burgers are delicious.
00:51:33
Speaker 5: What would rat boys think of how delicious the rat burgers are in San Angeles?
00:51:38
Speaker 1: The hunka-chunka is still safe. I'm talking about bowling. The horizontal mambo hunka-chunka. They, of course, do versex. Instead of fluid exchange. Nobody... Gives a shit if you fucking show your tits. Elon Musk is like, this is what is going to happen. We got to get Trump elected. Everyone has shit all over their ass crack and fucking in their drawers. Everybody's fucking sticking shells up their asshole. Thank God they got rid of toilet paper. The worst invention of our time. You got to go swear at the citation machine for swearing. We are before. We are just barely after. We are before, so Demolition Man is, well, it's a little bit of a trick question, I suppose. We're before and after. Demolition Man starts in the futuristic year of 1996, but then they're frozen in 90s. So they jump to near future to have the freezing technology for when Spartan and Phoenix get put away. Then they thaw them out in 2032. Oh, wow.
00:52:46
Speaker 2: I just watched the first Austin Powers again for some reason with Tiff, and it is also freezing the bad guys.
00:52:53
Speaker 1: It's like the same shit we've been doing so many movies. Hey, who's better at being frozen? Austin or Spartan? People really thought we'd have cryogenics figured out. They felt right around the block. Now we're just using it to like... Ted Williams.
00:53:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're just using it to like melt the fat off housewives' guts. Just using it to enrich in guys who own cryo.
00:53:16
Speaker 1: Here's one we might be revisiting in 2025 for the Action Boys podcast. One we've already covered on High and Mighty. The Running Man in 1987. Now, it does give us some dates of when this movie takes place. Do you think it's before? This is with the... The famous trio of Weiss, Cunningham, and Richards. Ben Richards. Yeah. Is... The Butcher of Bakersfield. The Butcher of Bakersfield, supposedly.
00:53:46
Speaker 5: I'm going to say we are after, and I hope the price is right.
00:53:52
Speaker 1: I'm going to say... No, I hope the family feud is right. I'm going to say before. Show me before. Survey says... We are after. Oh, wow. Good shit. Running Man 2017 to 2019. Of course, we're referring to Richard Dawson as Killian. And also the host of Family Feud, the lip kisser. The famous lip kisser. The first host of Family Feud. And you could say maybe the all-time greatest. Nobody's been able to live up to it except maybe Harvey.
00:54:30
Speaker 2: I think Ray Combs stumbled a little and then Harvey brought it back.
00:54:36
Speaker 1: Harvey brought it back. I don't know why this.
00:54:38
Speaker 2: Detail is stuck in my head that Ray Combs tried to kill himself in a psych hospital by hitting himself in the head with a rock.
00:54:45
Speaker 1: Jesus. And I don't know if that's true. Like, this is a crazy thing to maybe think is true. Why did they have a rock in there? It was a map of a rock. I came up with my name, brother. I'm out there chilling. Okay, so that's all I got for you guys. But I did make another list to end on that we could talk about of movies I was shocked aren't set in the future. Ooh, that's... I like this category. Have you ever seen... It's like a.
00:55:13
Speaker 2: it's a meme that's gone around, but my friend Dan meth made this poster. That is like where we're at in the future.
00:55:19
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:55:19
Speaker 2: And it's like all, it's like the year that every sci-fi movie takes place.
00:55:22
Speaker 1: And it's like, you are here. And then it's like 2000, like, I do like, I do like seeing that come around, uh, beast master two through the portal in time, not set in the future or the past. Of course, it's a different dimension. The title has nothing to do with it whatsoever. Beast masters playing at the theater where they are. That's such a crazy. Independence Day. Not set in the future. Wow. Face Off. Not set in the future. Now, it was written, the screenplay, and these, again, are all movies we've covered on the Action Boys podcast. The screenplay was written to be set in the near future, but they decided to say, like, fuck it. Let's just, like, set it now.
00:56:03
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:56:04
Speaker 1: John Woo, Nick Cage, and John Travolta having a little powwow. It's like, you know what? Let's just shoot this fucking movie. And again, some of these I could be wrong. I was shocked that The Warriors wasn't set in the future. In my head, I always thought that was in a weird kind of like near future. Oh, I always thought it was in the contemporary to the time of the movie, like 70s, 80s, because of the styling.
00:56:27
Speaker 5: I thought they jumped it forward a little bit to make sense of the gangs.
00:56:31
Speaker 1: Congo.
00:56:31
Speaker 2: Congo.
00:56:33
Speaker 1: Set in present day. That's unbelievable.
00:56:38
Speaker 4: Amy.
00:56:39
Speaker 1: And we're close to having this. It is weird that we've surpassed the robot voice.
00:56:45
Speaker 6: Right.
00:56:45
Speaker 1: That now just like, it's like, Hey, it's me. You're a glove. Hey, it's me.
00:56:49
Speaker 2: I'm not Elon Musk. Did you hear about this controversy that's going around? He, he's gotten hot water because he, uh, was talking about the, uh, immigrants hiring the H1B visas or whatever.
00:57:01
Speaker 1: And he, Racists who.
00:57:03
Speaker 2: Support him are like, wow, what do you mean you're bringing in Indian guys to take American jobs? So they got really mad at him. Someone made a Twitter. spaces or whatever those like little rooms where you go and a guy who came in there with a blue check named like spencer something and clearly had a voice modulator thing on was like it's fucking bullshit but he has like a light south african accent everyone's like this is elon pretending to be someone else and create with like a bunch of followers like a fake account and screaming about how like maga needs to pay attention elon is right i mean.
00:57:36
Speaker 5: Fingers crossed for joey gorp to uh Make a verbal appearance somewhere. This one will blow your socks off. Do we explain Joey Gorp?
00:57:45
Speaker 1: Joey Gorp? I'm sure we've, I mean. I mean, I don't know. Joey Gorp is John Krasinski's alt that he uses to respond to people who are hating on him. As Jack Ryan. We got obsessed with George. I can't– who found Joey Gore? Did Clements find Joey Gore? I don't know. I don't know. I thought it was Stanger because– It wasn't me. No, I heard about it from Ben.
00:58:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got so into it because people were anti-Krasinski because they're like doing a CIA show is also like propaganda and you're not believable. He's like– John Krasinski, 6'3, 225, lean, knows martial arts. And it's like this guy Joey Gorp is defending everyone with his size and his stats and stuff.
00:58:28
Speaker 5: And his only posts were anybody that went after. It was like Krasinski, the nerdy guy from The Office, is not believable. And his only posts were responses to those people.
00:58:40
Speaker 1: Joey Gorp had no other online posts. I think I got to give Clements credit for enlightening us about this. mystery of joey the gorp reverse uh i bright i think about it all the time gorp gloves uh rotor wow not in the future yeah wow that's that's one of our favorites god i haven't thought of rotor in a really long time uh universal soldier not in the future i mean that that kind of makes sense once you start thinking about it because like it's got to be close to vietnam or wherever they're supposed to be.
00:59:16
Speaker 5: It's got to be close to one of roland emmerich's uh pool parties for boys.
00:59:22
Speaker 1: Some of these movies are just set in like this stylistic world where you, you kind of like in your head think maybe it's the near future, but sometimes it's just like set in a movie. Bunkaroo Banzai, for example, no date given. It's kind of supposed to be contemporary present day, but like maybe it's just its own kind of universe. Yeah. Beethoven, Beethoven second. It's like, um, it's like Shazam. Like, Those comic books. Shazam, to me, never seemed like it was set in our actual world. No, no.
00:59:53
Speaker 2: It was like a weird sort of comic book world.
00:59:58
Speaker 1: Love those movies. Hackers. Not set in the future. That was supposed to be the present. Acid Rain? What are the names? Zero Cool. Zero Cool. Yes, that is. Street Fighter. Street Fighter. Set in present times. Wow, that boat is supposed to be from present times? Yeah, the U.N., the strength of the U.N. That's why I believe it. Tron, set in the present. Oh, yeah. Man. Present day, man. I love your fucking bridges. It's so lazy and bad. You just do it. Say man. Yeah, that's all I can do. Hey, Tron, man. Hey, man, we got to get in these bikes, man. Player one. You're a player. Deep Star Six, a movie we covered. Oh, my God.
01:00:49
Speaker 3: Right.
01:00:51
Speaker 1: Deep Star Six, famously, we watched separately. We watched.
01:00:55
Speaker 2: A big chunk of it together. We watched a big chunk of it. During the road tour, when we were on the road for road tours.
01:01:00
Speaker 1: When we were in Dallas, and we threw it on, and we, like, completely got absorbed. Yeah, and we're like, we have to ration this. We got to stop it now. Well, it was mostly we.
01:01:10
Speaker 2: Wanted to put on a movie that we could just chill and talk over, but we got so into deep stuff.
01:01:15
Speaker 1: We were like, man, the costumes are really good. They were like, the effects are pretty good. And then we were just fucking... Fully silent watching the whole movie. Tell me about your life. Into the movie. Stargate. Set in the present. Is that where Luke Perry is dealing with mummies? That could be.
01:01:32
Speaker 2: Because they have, like, the weird, like, before they go through the gate, there's, like, the regular world that they're in.
01:01:39
Speaker 1: And don't. at us we don't give a fuck double team a lot of van damme movies i've noticed all kind of feel like there may be in the future because they just don't.
01:01:48
Speaker 2: Have any like connection to reality yeah right i don't even remember anything from double team double team and i've seen that movie outside of the podcast and dennis robin i remember the basketball parachute.
01:02:00
Speaker 5: Well double team is wild that it's not in the future because of that weird like pat like uh prisoner element that they have.
01:02:08
Speaker 1: To escape from. These could all be wrong. Eve of Destruction. Do you guys remember covering that movie?
01:02:14
Speaker 4: Nope.
01:02:14
Speaker 1: No memory of it. Gregory Hines. Eve 6 or whatever. Like the robot, the killer robot lady. I do not. That is incredible. This is where he like tap dances. Island of Dr. Moreau. Never forgot it. Set in the past, in the present. Lawnmower Man, set in the present. Here's a shocking one that maybe you guys can't even remember doing the movie. Megaforce, not set in the future. I remember doing Megaforce. I remember Megaforce. We recently had to do like Old Man Find the Word for it for that. Well, because I was thinking a laser movie was Megaforce.
01:02:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, because Laser Mission and Megaforce, honestly, the names could be switched and you wouldn't like nothing.
01:03:00
Speaker 1: Hal Needham's huge flop.
01:03:02
Speaker 3: Yeah.
01:03:03
Speaker 1: The weird Bostwick suits that, like, they had those, like, kind of thin wetsuits that showed too much in, like, a weird way.
01:03:10
Speaker 5: Hal Needham's showing up on set wearing jeans and, like, a denim watch doing laser mission. I gotta say, the Mylar suits look like them in the future.
01:03:21
Speaker 1: So, that brings us to about an hour worth of future movies. We did it, and it brings us back to the future of Action Boys, which will continue in happy to be part of the high and mighty universe. What a ride.
01:03:37
Speaker 2: This is like a case of Family Matters and Perfect Strangers where the spinoff ends up being a stronger property than the original. Not a lot of people know this, but the mom from Family Matters is an elevator operator in Perfect Strangers, and that's how they used to launch TV series back.
01:03:52
Speaker 1: In the day.
01:03:53
Speaker 2: They just covered her family and gave her a nerdy neighbor named Steve Urkel, and then that blew everything out of the water.
01:03:59
Speaker 1: It's probably more similar to the handicapped individual in St. Elsewhere where, like, all those shows are in his head. Right.
01:04:07
Speaker 4: Wow.
01:04:13
Speaker 1: Right, that's the show? Yes. It's like the St. Elsewhere universe. Right, it ends with a- Like NYPD blues in it, like a fucking thousand- The crossover ends up being too crazy, like Homicide, Life on the Streets, and NYPD blue, because Belzer's the same guy.
01:04:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's because a bunch of friends ended up crossing over. Yeah, and he's like Munch in two series, so he's like the constant.
01:04:32
Speaker 1: He's imagining Cousin Larry. Hey, have you ever been to Mykonos? That's not where he's from. He's from a fake name place, right? Balki? It's not Mykonos. That's a real place. I don't know. I can't remember. I can't remember. I'm an expert on. I was raised by TV, and I don't even remember. We better pause the episode. Yeah. Let me get my laptops out. Bulky chargers. Lots of bulky chargers. We're back.
01:04:56
Speaker 2: We noticed that Stanger's laptops were mine and Roger's. Now we have to have a whole other combo.
01:05:01
Speaker 1: Turns out there is a P in Johnny Namada.
01:05:05
Speaker 5: See?
01:05:05
Speaker 1: You fucking wrote on Sharpie on my screen? No. Prove it.
01:05:14
Speaker 2: Now, High and Mighty has 500 episodes by the time, if you're listening to this, in the year 2458, right before Waterworld starts.
01:05:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever AI is listening to this and stealing our personalities, like, hopefully you were entertained. But we have... Mine's still on the table for some reason. Whenever you want. No takers. There's three personalities here. Grab all of them if you want.
01:05:37
Speaker 2: Okay.
01:05:37
Speaker 1: Doubled and tripled up on you guys, and mine's still there. You end up being like the only way to stop AI. Send in StangerBot. It's like the virus that... Michael, I'm not thinking correctly. In the end, a StangerVirus wiped them out. The project was called Project Algernon. Hey, Kit, why are you taking so long with those directions, buddy? There is no tracking him, Michael. He's outside of the universe.
01:06:12
Speaker 5: So some thoughts on the wind down of High and Mighty. We want a scloosey with us.
01:06:19
Speaker 2: High and Mighty has been a great experience for me. I met a lot of great people, but mostly one of the highlights was the UFO guy who.
01:06:28
Speaker 2: Probably my most heavily redacted episode as I'm like, well, we're talking UFOs, but we'll leave out the Biden drinking baby blood part. Definitely check out that episode and try to guess when you know how I am as a conversator, try to guess why I'm not talking so much in that episode where I'm just looking at the clock going, 48 minutes is long enough.
01:06:51
Speaker 1: Can we get back to the globe, drones, and fucking jerseys?
01:06:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd rather talk about aliens with you, dude. I know I fucking picked a weird fight there. But Action Boys is still going strong.

Strangers united by the threat of death. We got all the fucking major players. Seagal. Vladimir Putin is a good man. Arnold. Here, come. Give it to me. I need you to cream pie me now. Stallone. All the people that are loving this movie. It's actually, it's got a lot of heart. You're mentally irregular. Now, somewhere, somehow, someone's gonna pay.
01:08:26
Speaker 5: I would fucking love for my wife to, like, see me rip a guy's throat out.
01:08:30
Speaker 1: But they didn't count on one thing. This movie's fucking insane. It's how you know it's a good movie.
01:08:35
Speaker 2: You have to do almost all the work yourself to figure it out.
01:08:38
Speaker 1: Oh, there's a fantasy component. There's some sword fighting. There's some lightning. Bam, bam, bam, bam. So you came to town. You wake up after a few years and you don't even know who you are anymore. We're going to be making Terminators. We're going to make a really great deal with this. What? I don't hate him, but I've been in a room with him. Yes, I understand. This is now the 20th ending of the movie. I'm done. I'm your dad.

Speaker 2: Welcome back to another episode of High and Mighty.
00:00:15
Speaker 1: It's me, your boy, the number one.
00:00:19
Speaker 2: Fuckboy, Johnny G, from the south shore of Nassau County, Long Island, standing six foot two, three hundred and something. You heard the Ozempic conversation in the last couple of weeks.
00:00:32
Speaker 1: So has my cardiologist. It's Johnny G.
00:00:37
Speaker 2: All you got to do is trust me. Jackson Maine from A Star is Born? What are you doing here? I'm going to fucking kill myself. Give my dog a steak. Give your dog a steak. Also joining me in the High and Mighty Studios. Not in the High and Mighty Studios. I'm in the Chef Kevin Shed. The Chef Shed, if you will.
00:00:53
Speaker 1: Holy shit.
00:00:54
Speaker 2: We are doing a very special episode of High and Mighty as we wind down to episode 500. This might be the first you're hearing that I'm ending at episode 500, making it unglamorous.
00:01:03
Speaker 1: This one is for Arthur Gabrus, R.I.P. my nearly silent co-host.
00:01:10
Speaker 2: Now, we did a reverse Star is Born. He left a steak on the plate for me, and then he hung himself in my office.
00:01:17
Speaker 3: Oh!
00:01:18
Speaker 1: Arthur!
00:01:19
Speaker 2: Joining me in the Chef Kevin studios for an episode, a very special episode of High and Mighty. It's from episode 2 7 21. Probably my most recurring guest that don't drink alcohol. It's Ben Rogers and Ryan.
00:01:34
Speaker 1: Stanger of the Action Boys! Wow! The Action Boys are here back on High and Mighty.
00:01:42
Speaker 2: Happy to have you guys as I go through all the greats Coming down the homestretch here. How could I not ask you guys to do another two hours of talking?
00:01:52
Speaker 1: To be the Alpha and Omega.
00:01:53
Speaker 2: Much like the bomb beneath the planet of the apes.
00:02:00
Speaker 1: It feels good to come back to where this show started as you heard the teaser. You guys were- High and Mighty is winding down. That was a good tease, Gabers, because you got to hype this stuff a little bit. Now everybody's going to freak the fuck out. And they'll be there for episode 500. You can't just fucking- Strap in, bitches. Get a little chatter going about that. A little buzzing, a little gossip, a little chatter. And everybody will be like, well, I got to tune in to the Action Boys episode to hear about the ending of High and Mighty.
00:02:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got to watch that Action Boys episode because Gabrus is going to Bud Dwyer himself.
00:02:37
Speaker 1: High and Mighty. Gabrus, did you win Best Host in one of the early years of High and Mighty? I feel like you did. I won some award early on, and I forget what it was. I think it was Most Improved Player.
00:02:53
Speaker 2: I started talking into the mic on episode 145, so people were impressed.
00:02:58
Speaker 1: A Spirit Award is always a rough one to win.
00:03:02
Speaker 2: I did get most improved player my senior year of high school, which just means he's now on special teams.
00:03:08
Speaker 1: He was useless for three years. He didn't break the bench. Well, as we look back on High and Mighty and our old episodes, and it's also a new year, we're looking forward. I thought it would be fun if we looked at times in some of the movies we've done. Now, a big... subgenre of action movies are science fiction action movies. And we have done a ton. A ton of movies set in the future. And one of the weird things about living in this time now, 2025, very futuristic year. It's like a looks futuristic written out. It's weird. The last few years have. And I thought it would be fun to look back at some of the future movies we have done and decide if we are before it or after it in this current time of 2025. So we will name a movie. You guys will, we'll say if it's, if it's now in the past, Or if it's still coming up in the future, or this is the cop-out answer, near future. They didn't give us the time. Prepare for a lot of near futures for me. Which is the cop-out answer? I'd like to cop out again, sir.
00:04:30
Speaker 4: All right.
00:04:31
Speaker 1: You know, this is just film for entertainment purposes. There's no prize.
00:04:37
Speaker 5: Pass.
00:04:37
Speaker 1: I think people that listen are fascinated by a non-answer.
00:04:43
Speaker 2: Okay.
00:04:44
Speaker 1: So, of course, I've gone above and beyond. We have a lot of movies to go to. We've done a shocking amount of movies set in the future. Finally figured out how to get Rogers to do a bunch of work for High and Mighty. Yeah. So if you want a taste of what our show is like, it's kind of like this. With more. Pass. I pass. Two confused guys and one guy who did more than he should have.
00:05:07
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:05:08
Speaker 5: Anything we can do to activate Ben's perfectionism and put him to work.
00:05:13
Speaker 1: Well, okay, we talked about the Alpha and Omega, the bomb from beneath the Planet of the Apes. This is a good place to start. We just covered this movie on the show. Do you think we are before or after Planet of the Apes in the year 2025? I believe we are before, Stanger. near future. No, no, no, no. Definitely before. It's three niner five five. Wow, Gabriel! Three niner five or fiver is what I remember.
00:05:44
Speaker 5: Yeah, we were doing niner and also it was a mistake that they made.
00:05:49
Speaker 1: It was wrong. It was wrong also. 25 years off or something from Planet of the Apes. Just lazy. A fascinating lazy mistake. A fun movie where we get to see General Ursus, the gorilla in the sauna. Yeah.
00:06:02
Speaker 5: Yeah, we see a sauna scene. We see two apes in bad costumes in the sauna.
00:06:06
Speaker 1: Here's a fun one. TC-2000. TC-2000. Okay. A movie from 1993. Well, this is what.
00:06:16
Speaker 2: The fun part of this game, obvious to us, but maybe not to listeners, is you watch a movie from the 70s. It's like in the super future of 2001. So this is a movie from 1993.
00:06:25
Speaker 1: It's set in the future.
00:06:25
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:06:25
Speaker 2: They.
00:06:31
Speaker 1: Do you guys think it's near future? We've already passed it in 2025?
00:06:36
Speaker 5: Well, it's starring the great Billy Blanks of Taibo fame.
00:06:41
Speaker 2: I believe in 2025 now, we still do not have tracker communicator technology.
00:06:46
Speaker 1: Tracker communicator is what Billy Blanks' Jason Storm is. His brother is hard to kill, and he is TC. TC. Jason and Mason Storm. TC stands for tracker communicator.
00:06:59
Speaker 5: Communicator communicator um jason storm better than jason born can i give.
00:07:04
Speaker 1: You guys a a hint 2000 is not the year it's not the year it's the model of the of the tracker communicator i'm gonna go uh we are we are before the events of tc 2000 i'm gonna say after stanger is right we are after it's set in 2020 2020, also a very futuristic year. I think 2000 and 2020 are two of the most futuristic years. Can I tell you, five kicks us past, you know, past. Yes, Stanger. That's one thing I did notice. 2024 is the setting of a lot of movies we've covered. Weird.
00:07:39
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:07:39
Speaker 1: Probably because of the way it looks written, because I think that is kind of like- 2025 is like too perfect.
00:07:44
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:07:44
Speaker 1: It's like- So it's like- It's too much of a quarter qualifier, so it's like a little- I'm a great writer, so I'll put this before- I've had sex with 91 women.
00:07:52
Speaker 2: Meh.
00:07:52
Speaker 1: 71. That reads better. Do you guys remember when we made a trip to Delos, the amusement park that contains Westworld? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I do now. Westworld. Delos? Westworld. Westworld, the movie from 1973. What do we think? Before or after? Before. Yeah. Well, you think we're before it now? Yes.
00:08:18
Speaker 2: Yes.
00:08:19
Speaker 1: This is a cop-out. It's the near future. And for all our listeners who have a problem with some of the results here, I am going off of. the broken internet, what I can find there. I'm not actually rewatching all these movies. So if I missed a couple, maybe they throw a date in the background or there's some weird fucking comic book adaptation that like aliens.
00:08:44
Speaker 2: The old Brenner's credit card says the year is 2006.
00:08:49
Speaker 1: Kill yourselves guys.
00:08:50
Speaker 5: Also listen to action boys. If you want to hear how the internet sucks now. Um, also we did establish that, or maybe just, I did that, uh, we, uh, We think that present world would have been a good idea for work as.
00:09:05
Speaker 1: An amusement park. Yeah, I think that was just you. Might have been just me. Who knows? Listen to the show and see. Okay.
00:09:10
Speaker 2: And I think we know this already, but I did work at Westworld in the near future. I'm the guy who scoops the cum out of all those android horses. You know if you go to Westworld, you can kill whoever you want and fuck whoever.
00:09:23
Speaker 1: Can I fuck one of these horses? I'll be in the stable. I think you're supposed to put peanut butter in the horse's mouth, sir. No, trust me. I'm putting it on my balls. I'll be in Looney Tunes land. I didn't agree to a cream pie. If you want to know what our show is. Cream pie? We'll finish inside. It's okay.
00:09:51
Speaker 2: We can't get pregnant. I'm having a centaur. But I'm your mom's horse. It's okay. It's my step horse.
00:10:06
Speaker 1: Okay, Zardoz, 1974. Zardoz, if you take Wizard of Oz and get rid of the of and the whiz, you get Zardoz or the we.
00:10:17
Speaker 2: I wish I stood up and had the bottom half.
00:10:22
Speaker 1: You dress like that to see Wicked, right? Standing with like a ponytail and a pistol like this. Hey, could you stop singing, man? Fuck you. Okay, can I just say, this is not a cop-out. Okay. I did give us a date. I have a feeling it's like we are before Zardoz. I'm saying before as well. Good job, guys.
00:10:48
Speaker 6: 2293.
00:10:48
Speaker 1: We're doing good. This is the Eternals and the Brutals were in that. Sean Connery plays one of the Brutals. And that's what I would want to be. Not those fuckers. I'm going to buzz through the cop-out ones because that's no fun. Robot jocks. Sadly, that one's a cop-out. Make a choice. Achilles. Remember that one? And the gen jocks. Genetically altered. Crash and burn. Yeah, crash and burn, baby. Escape from L.A. This is a good one. Where we meet Map to the Stars Eddie, Steve Buscemi's character. And we get Bruce Campbell. Bruce Campbell is the Surgeon General of Beverly Hills. That one's a cop-out. No, this is not. This one has a date. This one has a date. I'll say we're before. No, no, no, no. We're after. My guess is also after. We are after.
00:11:41
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:11:41
Speaker 1: Thank God I fucking changed it. That was a close one. Everybody got nervous.
00:11:46
Speaker 2: For the listeners, we did stop down. Stanger got out a laptop and looked it up because he was refused. He keeps saying, I refuse to lose again.
00:11:53
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I don't know what he's.
00:11:55
Speaker 4: Also, come on.
00:11:58
Speaker 5: We agreed to leave all that out. Don't fucking light me up. We stopped down ten times. Come on, you broke his confidence. We don't bring up that stuff.
00:12:06
Speaker 2: This time was annoying because the first laptop was dead and we had to charge it and then you were like, let me go get my car laptop.
00:12:11
Speaker 1: Okay, we agreed to protect me on the episode. Here's a good one. Soylent Green. A lot of 1973 movies we did, I'm learning. Soylent Green. This is with Detective Thorne, Charlton Heston, Saul Roth, Edward Robinson, who dies the way we all want to do in a giant movie theater.
00:12:36
Speaker 2: I just want to go to the Vista and during the intermission of The Brutalist have someone just snap my neck.
00:12:43
Speaker 5: More than just seeing flowers and orchards and shit.
00:12:46
Speaker 1: I want to watch a full movie. Orange lights.
00:12:48
Speaker 2: I want to watch Manhunter on the big screen and then get killed at the end. During Strong As I Am.
00:12:53
Speaker 1: For me, it's Red Dragon. The better movie. Rat Pack Entertainment. The far superior Red Dragon. I'm going to go with after. We are after that. I'm going to say we're before that. We are after. It's 2022. Whoa. Just made it. Just squeaked by. 2022. Oh, God.
00:13:15
Speaker 2: I'm not going to lie. The whole time I've been going like, will I be alive for this?
00:13:18
Speaker 1: And then one of them was like 23. I was like, okay, no.
00:13:22
Speaker 4: 2022?
00:13:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, most likely. I was more or less alive then. Let's go back to the 90s with Free Jack, 1992. Emilio Estevez's Alex Furlong, Formula One racer. Turned Free Jack. Mick Jagger's Victor Vesendik. This is a movie with bonejackers who are stealing people who are about to die in the past to use their body for future rich people. Actually, kind of a cool idea. The execution, not so great. Now, are we before or after the time of freejacks, which is what they call bonejacked people who escape? Wish my wife was a bonejacker.
00:14:02
Speaker 2: This is a little confusing because we do have bonejacking technology now. In real life, but are we ahead of the curve or the movie's prediction or are we behind it? That's the question. I'm saying we're before.
00:14:13
Speaker 1: I think we're after. We are after. Free Jack is a mere 10 years after 1992. It's 2002. Wow. Free Jack, where 9-11 never happened, but bone jacking did. God, the bone jackers could have made out like bandits on 9-11.
00:14:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, As long as Buster Poindexter is your fucking agent, you're fine.
00:14:47
Speaker 2: Good morning and welcome to the advertising portion of High and Mighty. I'm saying good morning because I slept so great last night.
00:14:55
Speaker 1: And you know why?
00:14:56
Speaker 2: Because I got a Lisa mattress. Honestly, I'm a sweater. You can guess that by my size. And I live in the Southern California desert. But the Leesa Hybrid mattress I got keeps me so cool. No joke, it's the most comfortable mattress. I'm not a mattress expert, but it is the most comfortable mattress I personally have ever had. They have different mattresses and models to choose from, each designed for a specific sleep position and feel preferences. High quality materials, meticulous designs. They are assembled in America. And delivery is free. Returns are easy. You have a hundred nights to try your mattress in the comfort of your home. It's truly the most comfortable. I can't explain it because I'm not very smart, but it's firm and soft at the same time. So as a side sleeper, I don't absolutely dislocate my shoulder every night, but I also don't sink all the way in as a 300 pounder and frequently with previous mattresses, I would sink so much in that my wife would have to like no choice but to roll towards me because I'd create such a steep incline. But now it doesn't happen anymore. So this has been a huge improvement for both of us. And we're able to offer 20% off now. So if you go to lisa.com today to order your mattress, Lisa is offering 20% off all mattress orders And two free pillows for our listeners. That's L-E-E-S-A dot com. Remember, no matter who you are, there's a Lisa just for you. L-E-E-S-A dot com. And get a chance. Go to Lisa dot com today. 20% off mattress orders and two free pillows for our listeners. If you get the opportunity to say where you heard it, tell them it was the High and Mighty podcast.
00:16:35
Speaker 1: But Lisa, baby. uh no escape 1994 oh ray lance henriksen yeah lance henriksen.
00:16:50
Speaker 6: What's the name absalon do you guys remember what every morning we gotta wake up and go uh what is the name of the island on no escape absalon okay good you are allowed to continue.
00:17:03
Speaker 1: Your day uh absalon and the year was an alternate title Oh, shit. This is where Ray Liotta gets convicted and goes to prison for the death of innocents in Benghazi. Oh, my God.
00:17:18
Speaker 5: This is also pretty close to Goodfellas, and he did a big body transformation for this. Yeah, this is four years after Goodfellas was released. Yeah, I'm taking it serious. We're doing fucking.
00:17:32
Speaker 1: And Matt Dillon is like his little, like, fucking scurrying around. Or is it Kevin? One of the Dillons. Kevin. And we are very close to this year. Ooh. So before or after? I think we're before. I'll say after. Okay, we are after. Thank God. 2022.
00:17:47
Speaker 3: Ooh.
00:17:47
Speaker 1: We really just crossed over into passing a lot of these movies, which is terrifying.
00:17:53
Speaker 5: The reason I remember the name of it is Absalon is because it replaced absolutely for me.
00:18:02
Speaker 1: Can I get you another beer? Absalom.
00:18:05
Speaker 6: Okay.
00:18:06
Speaker 1: All right, Buckface. Here you go. Are you meeting anyone here? I got to cut you off. I knew you were ordering for the first time. I know this is one, but your first drink and you're dead sober. I'm sorry, buddy, but you got to get out of here. I know this is a Heineken Zero, but I got to cut you off.
00:18:25
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:18:26
Speaker 1: Will you leave? Absolutely. On my TC2000, Death Race 2000 does say the year. I thought it is past. Yes, this is a gimme. Stanger. But I thought it was fun to see that. Bust out the laptop. It's the fallout from the world crash of 79. Ooh. This is with the great Don Steele as Junior Bruce. Oh, yeah. The real Don Steele. A fine kill. A neat kill.
00:19:02
Speaker 2: That dude has turned up in so much stuff since then. Like, I catch him all the time. Like, that voice is so recognizable. I see him in so much shit.
00:19:10
Speaker 1: Great role in Gremlins, which we will be covering on Action Boys in 2020.
00:19:15
Speaker 2: I just watched it. that's what I'm thinking of. I watched it like 10 days ago with Tiff.
00:19:19
Speaker 1: Okay. So T2, a movie we've talked about quite endlessly from 1991. Uh, any guesses as to, um, when John Connor is from? Yes. What year is, is, is the T 800 sent from in T2? Are we before it or after it? Uh, uh, Judgment Day is 1997, according to the film. August 29th, 1990.
00:19:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, Skynet becomes a certain thing, but how long do the humans kind of last until we're in that treads running over skulls?
00:19:52
Speaker 1: What year are they sending the T-1000 and the T-800 for Terminator 2? Are we before it or after it? There's another close one. Yeah, we're before it. It's like 2050. Stanger? Oh, fucking A. I'll say we're after. We are before. It's 2029. Coming up. Holy shit. Coming up.
00:20:15
Speaker 2: Oh, cool.
00:20:16
Speaker 1: My very own year. My own birthday. Oh, here's another good one. Cherry 2000. Now, like TC2000, it is not the year. It is the model number for Cherry 2000. This is with Sam Treadwell looking for his sex doll with tracker E. Johnson. Solicits the health of Melanie Griffith. Melanie Griffith, not Cherry 2000. Not Cherry 2000.
00:20:44
Speaker 4: No, sir.
00:20:45
Speaker 1: Melanie Griffith is the tracker. E. Johnson. Edith. Yeah.
00:20:52
Speaker 5: And also not Jonathan E. from Rollerball. E. Johnson from Cherry 2000. They did give us a year.
00:21:00
Speaker 1: Are we before or after Cherry 2000, do you think? We're after. After. We are after. Good job, fellows.
00:21:06
Speaker 3: It's 2017.
00:21:06
Speaker 1: Ooh. Interesting choice again. Here's a tricky one. Virtuosity from 1995. Now, it starts in the present. Oh, right. And this is with our boy Sid 6.7. Oh, my God.
00:21:23
Speaker 2: I know any time this movie comes up, I just have to talk about the list of personalities that they upload to make Sid 6.7. It's like all these serial killers, but then there's also.
00:21:37
Speaker 1: Sorry. It's like fucking, what's his name, the leader of the Khmer Rouge. Like Serpentor is on there.
00:21:47
Speaker 2: It literally has like Hitler and all these people as well.
00:21:52
Speaker 1: Lucy from Peanuts. I guess she's kind of a villain. Denzel's character. Pol Pot?
00:21:58
Speaker 4: No.
00:21:58
Speaker 1: Denzel's character, Lieutenant Barnes, goes to jail for killing the man who killed his family. Now, of course, that guy's DNA is mixed in with Sid 6.7. So they have to— the concept is very similar, actually, to another future movie, Demolition Man, which we'll also be talking about. Now, how many years go by is he in jail for before they spring him for the events of Virtuosity? So are we before or after that, do you think? We are— We are after that. We're after. Yeah, it's kind of a gimme. I'm a 6.5 guy. So yes, it's 1999. It's right before the turn of the millennium. 99's a popular one for these movies. This doesn't give us an exact date, but we will know if we were before or after because it does give us some information. The Fifth Element, 1997. Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman. Bruce Willis says, Corbin Dallas. Corbin Dallas, multi-pass. Leeloo Dallas, multi-pass.
00:23:02
Speaker 4: Leeloo.
00:23:03
Speaker 1: Mila Jovovich. Lilo Dallas Motipas. Lilo. Gary Oldman is Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg.
00:23:12
Speaker 2: One time I got my hair cut, like, really poorly, like... you know, like a fashy kind of like way too high on the side.
00:23:18
Speaker 1: And like, and it was like bad. My brother goes, you look like Gary Oldman from the fifth element. And it's such a fucking day. Cause he has like that weird plastic thing that's covered up. Yeah. That's a bad bird.
00:23:28
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
00:23:29
Speaker 1: Chris Tucker dynamite in this movie. We are before the fifth element. After. Okay, we are before its 23rd century, though it does start in, I think, ancient Egypt. Yeah, it's like Luke Perry. Or, no, the 20s. I think it's like the British excavation of... Is Luke Perry poking around in this fucking... Yeah, that might be him in the beginning. I can't remember. Oh, I don't remember. He's like, he does something with mummies at some point. Here's a surprising one. Highlander 2, The Quickening from 1991. That is set in the future.
00:24:04
Speaker 2: Wow, that's crazy. It's gotta be before now, though. Stanger before after?
00:24:11
Speaker 1: I'll say after. We are right after. It's 2024. Whoa! The idea, if you haven't seen the Highlander 2, it's completely fucking insane. The idea is after the events of 1, Christopher Lambert Duncan Connor McCloud. Oh, McCloud. Duncan McCloud is from the TV show. That's right. I hate that I know that.
00:24:46
Speaker 2: By the way, we had an Action Boys holiday party, which was just like us having lunch at Ben's house, and it was like three hours long, and it was.
00:24:52
Speaker 1: Just like this. What? It was pretty much, remember this movie? We literally are doing nothing different. Three people that lived nearby moved out. Yeah. We sat in my backyard Which is about the size of like a sauna And we did just kind of Like we could.
00:25:12
Speaker 5: Have just recorded it What's better mixing up The TV and the movie or actually knowing it I.
00:25:21
Speaker 1: Know it's a little bit.
00:25:22
Speaker 2: Of both This is the place where you have that conversation Where you're like they're actually not related But I can feel.
00:25:28
Speaker 1: It Fascinating movie Cop out the Robocop universe Near future Yeah, near future. Tom Noonan is Kane in RoboCop 2. Yes, I understand. Selling nuke, needs nuke. Streets of Fire, another near future one. That's a weird kind of like, you know, I have. I'm trying to remember. Is that like a musical sort of? It's a musical. Walter Hill. Willem Dafoe is Raven Shattuck. Oh, with the weird hair. Yeah. One of his many weird hair. Eddie and the Cruisers is in it. Rollerball. Michael Paré.
00:26:10
Speaker 2: With Stanger, it all comes back to Eddie and the Cruisers.
00:26:12
Speaker 1: Moranis got bullied him on the set. Rollerball, they did give us a date. The 1975 version of Rollerball with James Caan as Jonathan E. After. You think we're after? I think we're after. We are after, folks, it's 2018. Wow. That's further along than I thought that they were doing. Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man. We got some of the best roller ballers. It's a cop-out. They don't give us an exact date. It's near future. For Marlboro Man?
00:26:43
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:26:43
Speaker 5: We were stunned watching this that it's set in the future. And, like, they set up, like, how Burbank has become the place to be.
00:26:50
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:26:51
Speaker 1: And everybody is named after a product for some reason. The movie takes place almost exclusively in Burbank, which is such a funny choice. You know what? I think that movie is what that shitty Elvis movie that we— Wishes It Was. Wishes It Was. What was the name of that? 3,000 Miles. 3,000 Miles of Graceland. God, maybe the worst film we've watched on this show. I think so. I think so. That got me more upset than any movie. And I hadn't seen it since it came out. And I didn't like it then.
00:27:19
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:27:19
Speaker 1: But I hated it even more now.
00:27:20
Speaker 2: I was excited to give it another, this is a shadow wolves episode. If anyone's wondering, I was excited to give it like another look of like, Hey, you know, time has passed. Maybe it's even worse.
00:27:31
Speaker 1: My favorite name of the, that somebody had after a product was sure. Microphone. Did I scan the room?
00:27:39
Speaker 2: How'd you come up with that?
00:27:43
Speaker 1: Kaiser Soze. Billy Goat t-shirt, long sleeve.
00:27:48
Speaker 5: This is my friend Ultima OC White Coat.
00:27:53
Speaker 1: Here's one of our favorites featuring... Colonel Robert Neville, MD. Omega. The Omega Man, 1971. Hello. Now, it doesn't give us an exact year, but we are dealing with the fallout of the Sino-Soviet battle, which was a thing people thought would happen in the 70s, that the USSR and China would have a nuclear war. Everybody was kind of hoping. I feel like the U.S. is back on that tip. I'm like, maybe we'll just kill each other. I remember like wishing, I think the, the, the concept of, uh, uh, escape from New York where it's the U S versus Russia is Russia and China a little bit more realistic. Uh, so do you think we're before or after, uh, Omega man? We are after, we are after. Yeah. A four minute mile. Roger Barrister already. Yes. Good call. Uh, the, the, They think World War III happens 1975 to 1977. Wow.
00:28:54
Speaker 2: So that movie takes place somewhere after that.
00:28:58
Speaker 1: So it could be 78, could be 98 or whatever, but. Do you think we're before or after Hell Comes to Frogtown, 1988? After. This is with Roddy Piper as Sam Hell, one of the few men with working jizz. Yeah.
00:29:17
Speaker 2: I remember almost nothing from this movie except for, put your blouse on.
00:29:22
Speaker 1: It's like the only thing I remember, which is a bit we did. Everybody's horny. Everybody's horny. They want to fuck him. Okay, put your blouse on. Sam Hell's weird voice. Roddy Piper's. He's got a weird voice.
00:29:34
Speaker 5: And he also tells her to, she's trying to sleep with him, so she takes her blouse off. But then he tells her to, put her glasses. No, there's a weird flip that he does with glasses. Put your blouse on, take your glasses.
00:29:49
Speaker 2: Off.
00:29:49
Speaker 1: This is set in the late 20th century. Whoa. So we haven't gotten to, or so we've crossed, we've beaten, we've beaten Frogtown. Yeah, you beat, you were right. We're past it. You were right. I was in high school in the late 20th century. Put your camel jacket on. Mad Max. Take your shirt off. Universe cop out in the near future. We don't know. Yeah. I believe. Yeah. Thanks a lot, Miller. Fucking fill us in, dude. We want to know the year. Of course, I got to know how Furiosa lost her arm. Now, we do have a year for Time Cop from 1994 with Jean-Claude Van Damme as Agent Max Walker. I am Max Walker. Definitely after. Ridden my boots. Now, walk us through. Why do you think we're after a snagger? I'd like to hear the logic behind this because I think you might have it. Because they do. There's a lot.
00:30:44
Speaker 5: Attention paid to years. I feel like I remember years in it, but I don't know how.
00:30:49
Speaker 1: Because it starts in the present. And then you jump to the future after... Wife dies. Yeah, so he's got to go back in the past. You don't want to jump too far. So it's 10 years after the release date. Release was 1994. It takes place in 2004. Holy shit. You don't have to drive the car yourself. The car drives for you. 2004, what great Reese's peanut butter cups. Everyone will have mullet.
00:31:22
Speaker 7: I have to do split on my island in kitchen. I think in future mullets will be greasier. Any guess when the adventures of Judge Hershey and Judge Dredd of Mega City One are?
00:31:39
Speaker 1: Judge Dredd, 1995. They still haven't gotten Judge Dredd right.
00:31:43
Speaker 2: I liked the movie Dread, but they didn't get the character right, but that was a fun movie.
00:31:47
Speaker 1: Dread is, yeah, just like a new version of The Raid, but I enjoyed it. But, like, they've never gotten the kind of, like, fascist. They need a director like Verhoeven to be doing Judge Dread. Right. I mean, he would be the only guy who would, like, get it. Or the Russo brothers. be fucking awesome 600 million dollars awesome what do you guys think are we before or after judge dread they call it dread notice boring i never want to be in marvel i'm just kidding don't have your weapon to prepare to be born um i think we're before i think we're uh before as well we are before judge dread 22nd century 2139 absolutely Great job on that one. He's a fan of the show. Speaking of Verhoeven, let's talk about Starship Troopers 1997. Wow. Now, I have no memory of doing that. So this... They do not tell you what the year is, but in the director commentary, Verhoeven does say when it takes place. Whoa. How many guesses is the word before or after? You see the kind of work that goes into it?
00:33:01
Speaker 2: Just going off the tech available to them in the movie, I got to go that we are before it.
00:33:07
Speaker 5: Gosh, and we're, they do make some, you know, the kind of war that it is. And I think maybe after.
00:33:18
Speaker 1: We are before a 23rd century, according to the director commentary, stars Casper Van Dien as Johnny Rico. Rico's roughnecks. Now, this will be a nice plug for Zombie Squad, one of the tiers of Action Boys, which we are, we, it's still, this one hasn't been released yet. We're about to record it in this very shack for K9000 starring Catherine Oxenberg. who will marry Casper Van Dien around the time of Starship Troopers, I think.
00:33:52
Speaker 2: Isn't Catherine Oxenberg also the woman from the documentary about NXIVM?
00:33:56
Speaker 1: Her whole life is wild. We can really get into it on Zombie Squad. But you go to her Wikipedia page, you will be like, this can't be true. She's from royalty.
00:34:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's like Zelig level. She has like 25 lives, more or less. It's fucking nuts.
00:34:11
Speaker 1: I remember.
00:34:12
Speaker 2: Being so into her, she's also beautiful, like into her during the NXIVM doc, I'm like, this fucking woman did what, NXIVM?
00:34:19
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, and one of the craziest parts, she's in the movie K9000, which we're covering for Zombie Squad, made for TV. I love that she has this. Adaptation of K9. She's better than I stand by. She is royalty.
00:34:31
Speaker 2: She's been dealing with the NXIVM cult. Her family is all wealthy. She's like done millions of things. And the thing that's most intriguing to us is that she acts in K9000. And as a matter of fact, we've referenced.
00:34:41
Speaker 1: Her as she would eventually marry Casper Van Dien, which is also weirdly interesting. Married to Van Dien.
00:34:47
Speaker 5: And for those of you that don't know, K9000 is a made-for-TV pilot of a potential series that never happened that was a spinoff of the movie K9 starring Jim Belushi and what was the dog's name?
00:35:05
Speaker 1: God, I can't remember. Catherine Oxenberg also married to Robert Evans for like a day. There we go. Did she do canine? You betcha. Oh, here's the one we're real close to. Johnny Mnemonic with Dolph Lundgren as the street preacher.
00:35:24
Speaker 2: And Johnny Mnemonic also features Ice-T and a dolphin in his tank.
00:35:27
Speaker 1: Ice-T is J-Bone. And don't forget Henry Rollins' spider.
00:35:32
Speaker 3: Oh.
00:35:34
Speaker 1: So this is close. This is close to us. Johnny Mnemonic from 1995. I'm going to guess it's We Are Before It. P is silent. I think it's an M. The P is really silent. It's not even there. Johnny Ponomic. God. I'm going to say.
00:35:57
Speaker 2: There's got to be a special way to try to remember when Johnny Mnemonic comes out. There's got to be some sort of device that helps you remember. What can we call it?
00:36:09
Speaker 1: I just immediately thought of pneumonia. That's why I got to repeat.
00:36:13
Speaker 2: Does that push you before or after? Just remember the one word answer that moves the game along.
00:36:22
Speaker 1: And again, there is no prize. And we're back. Laptop is dead. Ten different giant chargers. I can't even remember what Gabrus' answer was anymore. Where before? I'm going to say before. Okay, we are after 2021 Johnny Mnemonic. Now I remember seeing that in 2021 real life. I remember seeing Johnny Mnemonic. If I didn't fumble on the word stuff, the letters, I would have got that. Oh, here's a good one. Let's just give him the point. Yeah, give me the point. Okay, this one goes to Stanger. Time to redeem yourself. Waterworld, 1995, featuring the Mariner. We all remember the Mariner, but do you guys remember Dennis Hopper's character? He's the deacon. The deacon, the leader of the smokers.
00:37:07
Speaker 6: Yeah.
00:37:08
Speaker 1: Now, what year do we think this is? Do you think we've already passed it, or are we yet to get to it? I think we're after it. I think we're after it.
00:37:18
Speaker 2: Narratively, but it's coming up rapidly scientifically. So we are way before this.
00:37:26
Speaker 1: Waterworld 2500. Oh, my God. Oh, shit, dude. That's going to be a fucking rip in century. I think they shot it too far. Way too far. That one's the one that seems to the fucking closest. 2500 is such a good guess. Let's make it 600 years from now. Planet will be gone. Star Trek II, Wrath of Khan from 1982 featuring Khan Noonien Singh. You've, by the way.
00:37:56
Speaker 2: You've mentioned so many movies, and it wasn't until Waterworld, a movie I didn't even really love, that my brain went.
00:38:01
Speaker 1: I gotta re-watch that. You didn't love it? I mean, I loved it, but it's like, it's crazy to re-watch it. The best part of, all you need to re-watch is the Universal logo where the water gets all fucking, like, where the planet gets wet, and then that's it. That's the best part.
00:38:15
Speaker 5: I think you need to get him, watch him flying out of the water because he's swimming so fast.
00:38:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, that one's pretty, I mean, you can listen to our episode where we all were hoping we would like it, and we all fucking hated it, so. i remember that much.
00:38:28
Speaker 3: I think i'm back to like trick you again let's put it on all right we're back we hated it poor kevin's on hour seven of recording this gene triple horn we've been to the apple store three times.
00:38:40
Speaker 1: Uh i do distinctly remember a story from that episode where you said genie triple horn huh to stone and he you kind of like uh, accidentally like made it awkward for him. You were like, she's pretty hot, huh? Or something like that. You did.
00:38:56
Speaker 5: He, he, my son came into the episode cause he had some thoughts on it. And so that's what it was.
00:39:01
Speaker 1: We spoke to him. Yeah. Yeah.
00:39:03
Speaker 5: And so, uh, I was going to ask him the question that kind of the prompt that would tell him, tell us what he, where he would tell us what he thought. And then I just asked him a question about gene triple horn and you can, he's really little and you can hear him go, wait, what?
00:39:16
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:39:21
Speaker 1: Threw him under the bus. He's like, uh, before. He's like, double horn. We're like, what? More than quadruple horned if you ask me. What was the question again? Star Trek 2. Star Trek 2. Are we before or after? Corinthian leather. The world of Star Trek.
00:39:42
Speaker 2: We know that the incline press has been invented at this point, right?
00:39:46
Speaker 1: Yeah. Upper pecs are being developed. Cons pecs, of course. This is mostly known for the pecs of our villain who are framed by his necklace and shirt collar that a lot of people thought was a chess piece, but no. Just Ricardo Montalban.
00:40:02
Speaker 2: Ricardo Montalban is just that fucking- gorgeous skin that is really developed and then sort of corseted up.
00:40:10
Speaker 1: Yes.
00:40:11
Speaker 5: He's got super packs and like crazy separation. Also filmmakers and people involved, tired of answering the question about it.
00:40:18
Speaker 1: Yeah. Really annoyed. They are annoyed by it. Uh, We're before, right? We're before. This is 23rd century. It's not until the next generation that this all starts happening. Yeah, 2285. Whoa. I have good feelings about that year. 2,285 pounds. It is crazy that it's like... I'm an elephant. I did it. Wow, yeah. Okay, Star Trek II, and then you go another fucking 200 years and get to Waterworld? Yeah, a little bit of slowdown in tech. Okay, this is a tough one.
00:40:53
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, how do they have those fucking jet skis and stuff?
00:40:56
Speaker 1: Those things lasted? They lasted 600 years. Yeah, it's fucking crazy. And again, maybe the internet is wrong. Cyborg is a tough one because they don't give us an exact date, but it's around now. But we got to talk about, you know, we got to mention it since we covered it on the show with one of the great intros where I actually rewatched the intro thinking they must give us the date. And instead it's like, The strongest scientists are trying to fix it, but I don't want to. I like this world! Fender. Fender Stratocaster. This is with Gibson Rickenbacker, John Claude Van Damme's character, who is not the cyborg, by the way. Not the cyborg. Nor is the... The villain is also not the cyborg.
00:41:40
Speaker 2: The guy who has weird digital eyes is not the cyborg either.
00:41:47
Speaker 1: Here's one of our favorites. with Tom Selleck as Sergeant Jack Ramsey. Oh, and he's got the electronic scatter suit on. Runaway from 1984. Gene Simmons as a bad guy. Gene Simmons as Dr. Luther. I randomly got.
00:42:01
Speaker 2: Served a Gene Simmons thing on Instagram Reels, and he speaks like six different languages in the conversation amongst people. Like, he responds in Korean to a guy speaking Korean.
00:42:10
Speaker 1: He was like a professor and stuff before he got into music. Before he figured out that he just wants to rock and roll.
00:42:17
Speaker 3: Um.
00:42:20
Speaker 1: Stan, you ever see Gene Simmons hiking or anything like that? Listen to action, boys. It's been brought up. Clown white. I've been putting this makeup on longer than you're alive. Anyway, I guess I'll just take the Kiss pinball machine. What year do we think? Are we before or after Runaway? Kirstie Alley. Where everybody has robots and some of the robots start killing people. Is this a Stephen King story, too? No, this is a Crichton. Crichton, that's right. And Crichton director. Crichton director, yeah, as well. Good memory.
00:43:00
Speaker 2: All shooting down. He insists on holding the camera. Crichton, who's like eight feet tall. Stand next to Gene Simmons, your fucking tiny little Selick in your little fucking.
00:43:11
Speaker 1: I think Simmons is big. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
00:43:13
Speaker 7: Yeah, right?
00:43:13
Speaker 1: Creighton Simmons and little Tom Selleck. And Selick is big, too. He's like, I gotta get all big guys. I don't want to look like a freak in the director chair.
00:43:23
Speaker 5: Gene Simmons had to wear the kiss boots to get notes from Creighton.
00:43:28
Speaker 1: She's very attractive. Michael... What's a scatter suit, Michael? Michael, I built a scatter suit for real. I'm going to go with after.
00:43:41
Speaker 5: I know DNA is in the insects. That's how you got the idea from Gene Simmons.
00:43:47
Speaker 1: I'm saying... Rising sun scared the hell out of me, Michael.
00:43:52
Speaker 4: I didn't know you could die from gasping. I didn't know gasping was dangerous. You know my hair is inspired by Samurai. I like how it scared him. He's like, I got to stop all these kinks because I could fucking die. I'm going to say we're before.
00:44:09
Speaker 1: We are after Runaways set in the futurist gear of 1991. Oh, amazing.
00:44:14
Speaker 5: That makes sense for how it looked.
00:44:21
Speaker 1: Yeah. When did the movie get made?
00:44:23
Speaker 5: 84.
00:44:23
Speaker 1: And probably seven years. You know, you got to give them credit of like not saying near future. They're at least giving it something. And robos. Yeah, the robos. Yeah. Yeah, and the robos. And the robos. I felt like I was getting, like, I wanted a toy that my parents would never buy me. The movie did have actual robots in it, which is what was one of the cool things about it. Enemy Mine, 1985. With grapefruiting Jerry, Louis Gossett Jr. Balsam. Tarwich. Uncal, you look terrible. And he shaves his beard. Has anyone talked about Enemy Mind more than us? Dude, I got in trouble on a job in Enemy Mind. I never told you guys this, did I? No, you did, but I'm not. Tell it. Yeah, tell it now. So yeah, I can tell it now. I was on a job, I won't name it, but the showrunner was like, well, it's like an Enemy Mind situation. And he explained what he thought, and I was like, well, that's actually not what the movie's about. He was like, what are you talking about? I was like, have you seen Enemy Mind? He's like, yeah, of course. I was like, well, that's not what the movie is about. And then the whole room went quiet, and we had just covered Enemy Mind. And then talked about it for three hours after. Kind of gets in your memory a little more. That wouldn't have mattered, though.
00:45:53
Speaker 5: Yes.
00:45:53
Speaker 1: And this dude got like weirdly embarrassed that like, and I was like, so it's like what you're talking about is a different thing and we could do that. But it's, I mean, an enemy, like you reference enemy mind a lot. You should know he would bring up the movie constantly. And I was like, you should know that is not what the, like you've created a different movie in your head and it's, and that's not the plot of the film. And if you're a normal person, you're just like, oh, what? You know? Oh, cool.
00:46:22
Speaker 5: And then nobody would care and it would be totally fine.
00:46:25
Speaker 1: I mean, I was saving him future embarrassment from someone else like me. When he finally met Lou Gossett Jr. and blew it. That Wolfgang Peterson, I think it is. It is. Yeah. Before or after? A word before. Before. I keep accidentally using the real tech in the movie and being like, well, we couldn't do that. In my head, I keep going like, well, we don't have that kind of space travel yet. Well, obviously, we've never met that alien, so we gotta be before. I would know. I think I would know if we met that alien. I think I would know if bonejackers existed. We are before. We are before late 21st century. That's all that it gives us, but we're still early 21st century. Predator 2 from 1990. a movie whose director once told me I was bad. What's that story again? This director, probably like the meanest like feedback I've ever gotten for an audition for like an under two. He was like, like, two-line scene, and he was, like, fucking just, like, wildly dismissive and insulting to me. Oh, shit. Crazy that he was even in the room for those. Yes.
00:47:32
Speaker 5: Do you remember, or do you know any of the other movies he's done? I feel like we've talked about... He mostly has done TV.
00:47:39
Speaker 1: TV, okay. And this was for a TV show that I was auditioning. But, yeah, yeah, he was in there, and he was, like, he did not like me. But I like Predator 2 nonetheless. I think we're after Predator 2. After, I agree. Because they're kind of hitting, right? It's kind of like... Yeah, so it's movie released 1990. 1997, Dana Glover as Mike Harrigan.
00:47:58
Speaker 2: They're leaning too hard on, like, the violence of L.A. to make it too far. Incredible cast. Cast is stunning.
00:48:06
Speaker 1: Hell, if you want a semen sample, I'll just give you a pair of my drawers. You get all three. I can't remember that joke, but it's in my head. We brought up Escape from L.A., Escape from New York, set before it in the futuristic year of 1997. Jesus. Wow. So that was in the cinematic universe of Predator 2. Here's a tough.
00:48:26
Speaker 2: One.
00:48:27
Speaker 1: Total Recall, 1990. One of our favorites. Arnold Schwarzenegger as Douglas Quaid or Carl Hauser. Hauser is actually a friend of mine.
00:48:43
Speaker 2: I think we're before Total Recall. Gosh, it's fucking beads of sweat. I didn't think you would be taking this seriously. I kind of could have guessed it.
00:48:55
Speaker 5: After the silent pee snafu, I feel like I've got to seem smart again. I got to feel like I got to seem smart again. Everybody thinks I'm smart. I don't want to lose that.
00:49:05
Speaker 1: Got to keep this up. We are after Total. Oh, wow. Gabrus is right. We are before Total Recall 2084. 2084. We could be alive for Total Recall. Trying to keep it interesting. 60 more years. That puts me at 102. You're going to live to 102? I don't know. With this kind of longevity. Yeah, I got to just get my Manjaro squared away and I'll live forever. Hey, what's up? You're listening to episode 600 of Being Fat.
00:49:37
Speaker 2: I'm with the Mike Mitchell AI. I'm with the Mitch head in a jar. Big fucking jar.
00:49:44
Speaker 5: Wouldn't it be so much better if these Waymos had the Johnny Cab thing?
00:49:48
Speaker 1: Tech. Hell of a day, isn't it? I would. I wish they did. Why is it that hard to put a fucking fake robot driver in there? They fucking have that shit. Fucking beautiful sex doll with her tits out.
00:50:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, they could just use the same tech they did for an aerial animatronic at Disneyland.
00:50:09
Speaker 1: Like a pirate. Now, according to the Internet, Aliens, which we covered, takes place in 2179. But I don't remember it being mentioned in the movie, so I'm not going to include it. I think that's kind of stuff that's done more recently. Yeah, because especially with these extended universe movies and shit like that. Well, she's asleep for 60 years. Here's a tricky one. And her bush hair doesn't grow that much.
00:50:33
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:50:34
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the only way you can date it is by like bush hair. I don't think you need to say hair. Bush. I think bush covers it. I'm talking about the hair of a bush. It's like saying manless drone. It's like saying George W. Yes. I think you mean L. Demolition Man, this is a tricky one. Demolition Man from 1993 with Sly as Spartan and Snipes as Phoenix. And then we got Sandra Bullock as Lenina Huxley. Wow, I didn't even put that together, the Huxley get there.
00:51:16
Speaker 2: And then you have Dennis Leary as Dennis Leary doing six minutes from his actual hour in the movie.
00:51:21
Speaker 1: The funniest guy in San Angeles.
00:51:23
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:51:25
Speaker 1: Now, this movie takes place after the fast food wars, so... Yeah, Taco Bell's the only restaurant. Rat burgers are delicious.
00:51:33
Speaker 5: What would rat boys think of how delicious the rat burgers are in San Angeles?
00:51:38
Speaker 1: The hunka-chunka is still safe. I'm talking about bowling. The horizontal mambo hunka-chunka. They, of course, do versex. Instead of fluid exchange. Nobody... Gives a shit if you fucking show your tits. Elon Musk is like, this is what is going to happen. We got to get Trump elected. Everyone has shit all over their ass crack and fucking in their drawers. Everybody's fucking sticking shells up their asshole. Thank God they got rid of toilet paper. The worst invention of our time. You got to go swear at the citation machine for swearing. We are before. We are just barely after. We are before, so Demolition Man is, well, it's a little bit of a trick question, I suppose. We're before and after. Demolition Man starts in the futuristic year of 1996, but then they're frozen in 90s. So they jump to near future to have the freezing technology for when Spartan and Phoenix get put away. Then they thaw them out in 2032. Oh, wow.
00:52:46
Speaker 2: I just watched the first Austin Powers again for some reason with Tiff, and it is also freezing the bad guys.
00:52:53
Speaker 1: It's like the same shit we've been doing so many movies. Hey, who's better at being frozen? Austin or Spartan? People really thought we'd have cryogenics figured out. They felt right around the block. Now we're just using it to like... Ted Williams.
00:53:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're just using it to like melt the fat off housewives' guts. Just using it to enrich in guys who own cryo.
00:53:16
Speaker 1: Here's one we might be revisiting in 2025 for the Action Boys podcast. One we've already covered on High and Mighty. The Running Man in 1987. Now, it does give us some dates of when this movie takes place. Do you think it's before? This is with the... The famous trio of Weiss, Cunningham, and Richards. Ben Richards. Yeah. Is... The Butcher of Bakersfield. The Butcher of Bakersfield, supposedly.
00:53:46
Speaker 5: I'm going to say we are after, and I hope the price is right.
00:53:52
Speaker 1: I'm going to say... No, I hope the family feud is right. I'm going to say before. Show me before. Survey says... We are after. Oh, wow. Good shit. Running Man 2017 to 2019. Of course, we're referring to Richard Dawson as Killian. And also the host of Family Feud, the lip kisser. The famous lip kisser. The first host of Family Feud. And you could say maybe the all-time greatest. Nobody's been able to live up to it except maybe Harvey.
00:54:30
Speaker 2: I think Ray Combs stumbled a little and then Harvey brought it back.
00:54:36
Speaker 1: Harvey brought it back. I don't know why this.
00:54:38
Speaker 2: Detail is stuck in my head that Ray Combs tried to kill himself in a psych hospital by hitting himself in the head with a rock.
00:54:45
Speaker 1: Jesus. And I don't know if that's true. Like, this is a crazy thing to maybe think is true. Why did they have a rock in there? It was a map of a rock. I came up with my name, brother. I'm out there chilling. Okay, so that's all I got for you guys. But I did make another list to end on that we could talk about of movies I was shocked aren't set in the future. Ooh, that's... I like this category. Have you ever seen... It's like a.
00:55:13
Speaker 2: it's a meme that's gone around, but my friend Dan meth made this poster. That is like where we're at in the future.
00:55:19
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:55:19
Speaker 2: And it's like all, it's like the year that every sci-fi movie takes place.
00:55:22
Speaker 1: And it's like, you are here. And then it's like 2000, like, I do like, I do like seeing that come around, uh, beast master two through the portal in time, not set in the future or the past. Of course, it's a different dimension. The title has nothing to do with it whatsoever. Beast masters playing at the theater where they are. That's such a crazy. Independence Day. Not set in the future. Wow. Face Off. Not set in the future. Now, it was written, the screenplay, and these, again, are all movies we've covered on the Action Boys podcast. The screenplay was written to be set in the near future, but they decided to say, like, fuck it. Let's just, like, set it now.
00:56:03
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:56:04
Speaker 1: John Woo, Nick Cage, and John Travolta having a little powwow. It's like, you know what? Let's just shoot this fucking movie. And again, some of these I could be wrong. I was shocked that The Warriors wasn't set in the future. In my head, I always thought that was in a weird kind of like near future. Oh, I always thought it was in the contemporary to the time of the movie, like 70s, 80s, because of the styling.
00:56:27
Speaker 5: I thought they jumped it forward a little bit to make sense of the gangs.
00:56:31
Speaker 1: Congo.
00:56:31
Speaker 2: Congo.
00:56:33
Speaker 1: Set in present day. That's unbelievable.
00:56:38
Speaker 4: Amy.
00:56:39
Speaker 1: And we're close to having this. It is weird that we've surpassed the robot voice.
00:56:45
Speaker 6: Right.
00:56:45
Speaker 1: That now just like, it's like, Hey, it's me. You're a glove. Hey, it's me.
00:56:49
Speaker 2: I'm not Elon Musk. Did you hear about this controversy that's going around? He, he's gotten hot water because he, uh, was talking about the, uh, immigrants hiring the H1B visas or whatever.
00:57:01
Speaker 1: And he, Racists who.
00:57:03
Speaker 2: Support him are like, wow, what do you mean you're bringing in Indian guys to take American jobs? So they got really mad at him. Someone made a Twitter. spaces or whatever those like little rooms where you go and a guy who came in there with a blue check named like spencer something and clearly had a voice modulator thing on was like it's fucking bullshit but he has like a light south african accent everyone's like this is elon pretending to be someone else and create with like a bunch of followers like a fake account and screaming about how like maga needs to pay attention elon is right i mean.
00:57:36
Speaker 5: Fingers crossed for joey gorp to uh Make a verbal appearance somewhere. This one will blow your socks off. Do we explain Joey Gorp?
00:57:45
Speaker 1: Joey Gorp? I'm sure we've, I mean. I mean, I don't know. Joey Gorp is John Krasinski's alt that he uses to respond to people who are hating on him. As Jack Ryan. We got obsessed with George. I can't– who found Joey Gore? Did Clements find Joey Gore? I don't know. I don't know. I thought it was Stanger because– It wasn't me. No, I heard about it from Ben.
00:58:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got so into it because people were anti-Krasinski because they're like doing a CIA show is also like propaganda and you're not believable. He's like– John Krasinski, 6'3, 225, lean, knows martial arts. And it's like this guy Joey Gorp is defending everyone with his size and his stats and stuff.
00:58:28
Speaker 5: And his only posts were anybody that went after. It was like Krasinski, the nerdy guy from The Office, is not believable. And his only posts were responses to those people.
00:58:40
Speaker 1: Joey Gorp had no other online posts. I think I got to give Clements credit for enlightening us about this. mystery of joey the gorp reverse uh i bright i think about it all the time gorp gloves uh rotor wow not in the future yeah wow that's that's one of our favorites god i haven't thought of rotor in a really long time uh universal soldier not in the future i mean that that kind of makes sense once you start thinking about it because like it's got to be close to vietnam or wherever they're supposed to be.
00:59:16
Speaker 5: It's got to be close to one of roland emmerich's uh pool parties for boys.
00:59:22
Speaker 1: Some of these movies are just set in like this stylistic world where you, you kind of like in your head think maybe it's the near future, but sometimes it's just like set in a movie. Bunkaroo Banzai, for example, no date given. It's kind of supposed to be contemporary present day, but like maybe it's just its own kind of universe. Yeah. Beethoven, Beethoven second. It's like, um, it's like Shazam. Like, Those comic books. Shazam, to me, never seemed like it was set in our actual world. No, no.
00:59:53
Speaker 2: It was like a weird sort of comic book world.
00:59:58
Speaker 1: Love those movies. Hackers. Not set in the future. That was supposed to be the present. Acid Rain? What are the names? Zero Cool. Zero Cool. Yes, that is. Street Fighter. Street Fighter. Set in present times. Wow, that boat is supposed to be from present times? Yeah, the U.N., the strength of the U.N. That's why I believe it. Tron, set in the present. Oh, yeah. Man. Present day, man. I love your fucking bridges. It's so lazy and bad. You just do it. Say man. Yeah, that's all I can do. Hey, Tron, man. Hey, man, we got to get in these bikes, man. Player one. You're a player. Deep Star Six, a movie we covered. Oh, my God.
01:00:49
Speaker 3: Right.
01:00:51
Speaker 1: Deep Star Six, famously, we watched separately. We watched.
01:00:55
Speaker 2: A big chunk of it together. We watched a big chunk of it. During the road tour, when we were on the road for road tours.
01:01:00
Speaker 1: When we were in Dallas, and we threw it on, and we, like, completely got absorbed. Yeah, and we're like, we have to ration this. We got to stop it now. Well, it was mostly we.
01:01:10
Speaker 2: Wanted to put on a movie that we could just chill and talk over, but we got so into deep stuff.
01:01:15
Speaker 1: We were like, man, the costumes are really good. They were like, the effects are pretty good. And then we were just fucking... Fully silent watching the whole movie. Tell me about your life. Into the movie. Stargate. Set in the present. Is that where Luke Perry is dealing with mummies? That could be.
01:01:32
Speaker 2: Because they have, like, the weird, like, before they go through the gate, there's, like, the regular world that they're in.
01:01:39
Speaker 1: And don't. at us we don't give a fuck double team a lot of van damme movies i've noticed all kind of feel like there may be in the future because they just don't.
01:01:48
Speaker 2: Have any like connection to reality yeah right i don't even remember anything from double team double team and i've seen that movie outside of the podcast and dennis robin i remember the basketball parachute.
01:02:00
Speaker 5: Well double team is wild that it's not in the future because of that weird like pat like uh prisoner element that they have.
01:02:08
Speaker 1: To escape from. These could all be wrong. Eve of Destruction. Do you guys remember covering that movie?
01:02:14
Speaker 4: Nope.
01:02:14
Speaker 1: No memory of it. Gregory Hines. Eve 6 or whatever. Like the robot, the killer robot lady. I do not. That is incredible. This is where he like tap dances. Island of Dr. Moreau. Never forgot it. Set in the past, in the present. Lawnmower Man, set in the present. Here's a shocking one that maybe you guys can't even remember doing the movie. Megaforce, not set in the future. I remember doing Megaforce. I remember Megaforce. We recently had to do like Old Man Find the Word for it for that. Well, because I was thinking a laser movie was Megaforce.
01:02:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, because Laser Mission and Megaforce, honestly, the names could be switched and you wouldn't like nothing.
01:03:00
Speaker 1: Hal Needham's huge flop.
01:03:02
Speaker 3: Yeah.
01:03:03
Speaker 1: The weird Bostwick suits that, like, they had those, like, kind of thin wetsuits that showed too much in, like, a weird way.
01:03:10
Speaker 5: Hal Needham's showing up on set wearing jeans and, like, a denim watch doing laser mission. I gotta say, the Mylar suits look like them in the future.
01:03:21
Speaker 1: So, that brings us to about an hour worth of future movies. We did it, and it brings us back to the future of Action Boys, which will continue in happy to be part of the high and mighty universe. What a ride.
01:03:37
Speaker 2: This is like a case of Family Matters and Perfect Strangers where the spinoff ends up being a stronger property than the original. Not a lot of people know this, but the mom from Family Matters is an elevator operator in Perfect Strangers, and that's how they used to launch TV series back.
01:03:52
Speaker 1: In the day.
01:03:53
Speaker 2: They just covered her family and gave her a nerdy neighbor named Steve Urkel, and then that blew everything out of the water.
01:03:59
Speaker 1: It's probably more similar to the handicapped individual in St. Elsewhere where, like, all those shows are in his head. Right.
01:04:07
Speaker 4: Wow.
01:04:13
Speaker 1: Right, that's the show? Yes. It's like the St. Elsewhere universe. Right, it ends with a- Like NYPD blues in it, like a fucking thousand- The crossover ends up being too crazy, like Homicide, Life on the Streets, and NYPD blue, because Belzer's the same guy.
01:04:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's because a bunch of friends ended up crossing over. Yeah, and he's like Munch in two series, so he's like the constant.
01:04:32
Speaker 1: He's imagining Cousin Larry. Hey, have you ever been to Mykonos? That's not where he's from. He's from a fake name place, right? Balki? It's not Mykonos. That's a real place. I don't know. I can't remember. I can't remember. I'm an expert on. I was raised by TV, and I don't even remember. We better pause the episode. Yeah. Let me get my laptops out. Bulky chargers. Lots of bulky chargers. We're back.
01:04:56
Speaker 2: We noticed that Stanger's laptops were mine and Roger's. Now we have to have a whole other combo.
01:05:01
Speaker 1: Turns out there is a P in Johnny Namada.
01:05:05
Speaker 5: See?
01:05:05
Speaker 1: You fucking wrote on Sharpie on my screen? No. Prove it.
01:05:14
Speaker 2: Now, High and Mighty has 500 episodes by the time, if you're listening to this, in the year 2458, right before Waterworld starts.
01:05:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever AI is listening to this and stealing our personalities, like, hopefully you were entertained. But we have... Mine's still on the table for some reason. Whenever you want. No takers. There's three personalities here. Grab all of them if you want.
01:05:37
Speaker 2: Okay.
01:05:37
Speaker 1: Doubled and tripled up on you guys, and mine's still there. You end up being like the only way to stop AI. Send in StangerBot. It's like the virus that... Michael, I'm not thinking correctly. In the end, a StangerVirus wiped them out. The project was called Project Algernon. Hey, Kit, why are you taking so long with those directions, buddy? There is no tracking him, Michael. He's outside of the universe.
01:06:12
Speaker 5: So some thoughts on the wind down of High and Mighty. We want a scloosey with us.
01:06:19
Speaker 2: High and Mighty has been a great experience for me. I met a lot of great people, but mostly one of the highlights was the UFO guy who.
01:06:28
Speaker 2: Probably my most heavily redacted episode as I'm like, well, we're talking UFOs, but we'll leave out the Biden drinking baby blood part. Definitely check out that episode and try to guess when you know how I am as a conversator, try to guess why I'm not talking so much in that episode where I'm just looking at the clock going, 48 minutes is long enough.
01:06:51
Speaker 1: Can we get back to the globe, drones, and fucking jerseys?
01:06:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd rather talk about aliens with you, dude. I know I fucking picked a weird fight there. But Action Boys is still going strong.

All the people that are loving this movie. It's actually, it's got a lot of heart. You're mentally irregular. Now, somewhere, somehow, someone's gonna pay.
01:08:26
Speaker 5: I would fucking love for my wife to, like, see me rip a guy's throat out.
01:08:30

01:08:35

01:08:38
Speaker 1: Oh, there's a fantasy component. There's some sword fighting. There's some lightning. Bam, bam, bam, bam. So you came to town. You wake up after a few years and you don't even know who you are anymore. We're going to be making Terminators. We're going to make a really great deal with this. What? I don't hate him, but I've been in a room with him. Yes, I understand. This is now the 20th ending of the movie. I'm done. I'm your dad.
