Wow. Stuart Gordon's FORTRESS. Join us as we fawn over this epic masterpiece!
Ryan makes the claim that this might be one of the best films we'll ever cover on the podcast. This is without remembering that we covered TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA in our infancy and still have GONE GIRL to uncover in a future episode BUT don't let that diminish the quality and sheer entertainment of this Stuart Gordon film. Out of the crop of the recent cinematic wonders we've been graced with over the last few months (some good, some pretty bad) FORTRESS is a welcome breath of fresh air.

00:44.490 --> 01:01.770
Well, hello there. Welcome to On The Bitte, the podcast that uncovers full-frontal male nudity in cinema. My name is Laura and I am here with my fantastic Always Forever co host Ryan.
01:01.770 --> 01:17.490
Yes, I'm glad that every time we start a new episode, I don't feel like we've done an episode in a while, but every time you can come up with a new and inventive way to basically say that I am, um, just your co host and nothing else.
01:17.490 --> 01:23.702
What else do you want me to say? I mean, for the purposes of the podcast, you are the co host.
01:23.786 --> 01:28.106
Yes, I'm the co host. Um, and I'm the joke bearer.
01:28.238 --> 01:33.270
Yeah. I mean, pretty much this wouldn't exist without you.
01:33.270 --> 01:42.510
That's always nice to know. Some purpose in life Jokeman. The Joker, the joke.
01:42.690 --> 01:58.930
I was going to try to tie that in somehow to the movie that we're going to talk about today, but I don't have anything to wrap that into. I just wonder if you're ready to talk about the Sci-Fi action movie Fortress.
01:58.930 --> 02:00.122
Fuck, yes.
02:00.196 --> 02:01.166
Oh, my God.
02:01.288 --> 02:03.522
I'm very happy that we're talking about Fortress.
02:03.606 --> 02:09.438
I'm so stoked this movie was directed by Stewart Gordon.
02:09.534 --> 02:16.478
This is easily like one of the best movies we're going to cover on this podcast. Uh, yeah, this is going to be one of the best ones.
02:16.564 --> 02:17.498
It is really good.
02:17.584 --> 02:18.006
Easily.
02:18.078 --> 02:21.578
I'm not even going to lie. This is pretty good.
02:21.664 --> 02:30.190
Yeah, this is going to be better than in The Cut and Power of the Dog is going to be better than both of those movies.
02:30.190 --> 02:35.298
Well, before you jump into Stuart Gordon, this movie stars Christopher Lambert.
02:35.454 --> 02:36.342
Lambert?
02:36.486 --> 02:40.110
Listen, he's a Frenchman. He's French.
02:40.170 --> 02:53.120
Yeah, but look, I feel like you're appropriating them slightly because it's like Camon Bear. You're saying Lambert, just because you're learning French, that doesn't mean you have to appropriate this poor man. It's fucking Lambert.
02:53.120 --> 02:56.006
Uh, but his name is Christopher GI.
02:56.068 --> 02:57.246
Denny Lambell.
02:57.318 --> 02:59.354
Like, that is his name. That's his actual name.
02:59.392 --> 03:02.142
That's fine. His stage name is Christopher Lambert.
03:02.286 --> 03:03.450
That's lame.
03:03.630 --> 03:15.366
No, it's not. He played Ryden. He played Ryden in the Anderson Mortal Kombat movie. And he was also of the Macleods in Highlander.
03:15.558 --> 03:16.746
Well, yeah, no shit.
03:16.818 --> 03:19.260
There can be only one.
03:19.260 --> 03:26.562
Uh, also starring Lori Loughlin. Kurtwood Smith. You guys. Kurt Woodsmith.
03:26.646 --> 03:32.526
Who's Kurtwood Smith? Ms. Y. Bobby? Not one.
03:32.588 --> 03:34.790
Yeah.
03:34.790 --> 03:36.550
Robocop Guy, the 70s Show.
03:36.570 --> 03:43.870
For those of you who haven't seen. Of course you've seen RoboCop. What am I talking about? Clifton Collins Jr. And Jeffrey Combs.
03:43.990 --> 03:46.462
Buy that for a dollar. Jeffrey cohes.
03:46.486 --> 03:47.418
I can't believe you said that before.
03:47.444 --> 03:49.910
Me.
03:49.910 --> 04:10.910
Tell, uh, me about Stuart Gordon. This is so crazy because I never thought we would talk about Stuart Gordon because we've seen a ton of his movies and there are some that come close that I know that you're going to talk about, but. Yeah, I don't know. This is the first one I saw. This is a complete accident in this film in terms of how we're doing it.
04:10.910 --> 04:11.790
What do you mean?
04:11.900 --> 04:22.700
Because I had it on my watch list on Letterbox, and I was working in Miami and I was just kind of going through my watch list. Just random shit to watch.
04:22.700 --> 04:23.478
Uh huh.
04:23.504 --> 04:28.470
Put this on Bada. Boom. There's penises in it right in the beginning of the movie.
04:28.520 --> 04:52.818
Right. I think what I mean is, if you're familiar at all with any of Stuart Garden stuff in this sort of context in which his films have come to be like, there's a lot of female nudity and stuff in his movies, it would seem kind of serendipitous that there would be the odd Dick hanging around.
04:52.844 --> 05:06.834
But we've seen a bunch of his movies and I'm trying to become a Jeffrey Combs completionist here, and I've never seen a penis. We've seen Castle Freak. You're going to bring that up?
05:06.872 --> 05:30.529
Yeah, no, I'm going to talk about Stuart Gordon just now. So basically, I got into Stuart Gordon quite late. I saw Reanimate or decades ago. But let's say I didn't put two and two together when it kind of came to looking at Stewart Garden stuff. I think in the last couple of years, maybe pandemic times, for sure. I started kind of going through the Stuart Garden filmography. Uh, yeah.
05:30.530 --> 05:31.938
Um, I think we both did well.
05:31.964 --> 05:37.482
Yeah. He only passed away in two 2020. Oh, organ failure.
05:37.496 --> 05:38.514
Oh, my God.
05:38.612 --> 05:55.758
Yeah. And the thing is, I usually like Google and I kind of have a little look to see where the director is and stuff like that. But basically one of the questions that Google presented to me, because they give you a list of questions. Right. They usually are the common questions that people ask. That's why I have that YouTube thing where they ask celebrities like that.
05:55.904 --> 06:02.274
Google. Oh, you start typing something in and then it auto populates the rest of your questions.
06:02.312 --> 06:07.230
So pretty much the first question that came up was, how did Stuart Gordon died?
06:07.340 --> 06:09.822
Oh, how does Stuart Gordon died?
06:09.896 --> 06:33.742
Yeah. Or how did Stuart Gordon died? Yeah. Do better Google. Anyway, um, so, yeah, Stuart Garden, film director, theater director. I'm, um, going to ring off a couple of things I quite like about it. One of the notable things I think Stuart Garden has done other than his own body of work, is he co wrote Honey in Front of the Kids?
06:33.816 --> 06:36.390
Oh, my God.
06:36.390 --> 06:36.718
Yes.
06:36.744 --> 06:39.118
We also produced Honey I Blew Up The Kids.
06:39.144 --> 06:50.014
Well, they both have Rick Moranis in it. Yes, they do. That's. The only thing I care about right now is Rick Moranis. Uh, in terms of Honey, I shrunk the kids.
06:50.052 --> 06:54.690
Oh, I thought you man just didn't like your.
06:54.690 --> 06:57.850
Life. I do love Rick Moranis.
06:57.900 --> 07:04.426
Right, okay, so I haven't seen Honey I shrunk it's on Disney Plus. What? No, I haven't seen it in a long time.
07:04.428 --> 07:06.094
Oh, my God, it was going to crap.
07:06.252 --> 07:08.938
Yes, they ride a big Ant in that movie.
07:08.964 --> 07:12.002
I remember an amazing movie.
07:12.026 --> 07:22.850
It's on Disney Plus. On Disney Plus. Who would keep Disney Plus? Unless, um, you're a fucking Marvel fanboy.
07:22.900 --> 07:23.858
Oh, shit.
07:23.884 --> 07:27.722
You love any of that fucking Disney bullshit? Blank check.
07:27.796 --> 07:30.698
No, I'm just waiting to talk about bling check, but go on.
07:30.724 --> 08:09.270
Yes, let's talk about something good. So, shirt Garden, film director. Theater director. He's best known. I've only picked out four films here. He's obviously made more than this. Um, but Rihanna Mayer in Nineteen, 1985. From beyond nineteen 1986. Jocks in then this is after Fortress. But he did do a movie, Castle Freak, which we also pointed out in Nineteen 1995 is one thing that I can see. I don't know if Jeffrey comes in robot jocks. I can't remember. I only watched it last year, basically, just fine. I watched it last year.
08:09.320 --> 08:11.958
You watched it without me?
08:11.984 --> 09:13.234
Yeah, because it was on. I'm allowed to watch things on my own and let's, uh, just find robots. Well, you know how much I love robots that fight each other. Like fucking Robot Wars. The fucking bitchy tits. Anyway, talking about bitches tits is a scene in Castle Freak, which is, uh, knowable, but I won't spoil it for you, but, um, yeah, he's a practitioner of horror, and that's what I would probably signify him most commonly with being as he's a horror filmmaker and mostly kind of body horror filmmaker. Uh, yeah, um, because certainly from beyond. I mean, apart from Pitting The Pendulum, he has updated, uh, from beyond and reanimate her above HP Lovecraft stories. Okay. And yeah, he is a collaborator with Jeffrey Combs, who I would cite as the greatest senior of all time.
09:13.332 --> 09:15.206
Wait, the greatest what?
09:15.278 --> 09:42.014
Scene eater. Um, this isn't a sure Garden movie, but he was also in a film that I watched. What was it called? It was like a seven ripoff. He plays like, one of the other detectives in that.
09:42.052 --> 09:44.222
Oh, my God, we watched that together?
09:44.236 --> 09:56.214
I think so, yeah. He's also another collaborator with Brian Yasna, produced Reanimator and a couple of other Stuart, uh, Gardens movies.
09:56.262 --> 09:56.631
Fear.
09:56.651 --> 09:59.502
Fear.com. Yeah, it one of those.
09:59.586 --> 10:03.408
Fear. Fear.com. Yeah, that the movie, right?
10:03.408 --> 10:14.922
Yes. Uh, Brian Yasa directed the sequel to Reanimar, which was Bride of Reanimir. Very good. And another original movie called Society, which is fabulous.
10:14.946 --> 10:17.138
I've been waiting to watch Society. We've owned it.
10:17.164 --> 10:31.934
Yeah, we've got it on Blue Ring a year. I've been waiting to watch it again. Yeah. Uh, no, I'm very happy to like Stuart Gardens turned into one of my favorite film directors, and I've only started watching a lot of his filmography within the last couple of years.
10:31.972 --> 10:36.738
I really like that he's the type of director that makes me very uncomfortable.
10:36.774 --> 10:37.142
Fuck, yeah.
10:37.156 --> 10:50.678
And I appreciate that because there's not a lot of directors or films in general that have me watching something where I just feel physically ill or just uncomfortable sometimes. I'm talking about From Beyond specifically.
10:50.704 --> 10:54.098
Yeah. That film never stops being engaging, though.
10:54.124 --> 11:01.598
From beyond is a five star film, and it's very wet and glossy and disgusting, and I really like it. Very good.
11:01.624 --> 11:10.330
Yeah. All that kind of all dry. Um, Lovecrafty and stuff. I absolutely love that shit.
11:10.330 --> 11:10.662
Yeah.
11:10.686 --> 11:22.682
There's some weird stuff in front beyond as well. Like all the sex stuff. I love that's the crux of the story. They're tapping into the sexual potentials of their brain.
11:22.696 --> 11:29.082
I think I just like HP Lovecraft stuff. Wasn't Color out of Space? Hp Lovecraft? Yeah.
11:29.106 --> 11:33.362
Let's put it this way. Stuart Gordon's career is relatively.
11:33.376 --> 11:36.134
How did we forget it's? Richard Stanley.
11:36.172 --> 11:53.582
Yeah, Richard Stanley. He was like. Yeah, he was linked to island of Doctor Moreau before it got taken over. And then also he made that movie. Made that movie with the robot hardware. Oh, yeah. That movie is fucking good as well.
11:53.656 --> 11:58.442
Everyone should go see Hardware and just buy Color out of Space because it's got Nicolas Gauge in it.
11:58.456 --> 12:04.738
Yeah, we got it for, like, three $3. Yeah.
12:04.894 --> 12:19.278
Fortress. Fortress. So let me give you the synopsis, which is pulled from Letterbox. It's very strange. Okay, let me put on my synopsis voice. Okay.
12:19.304 --> 12:46.190
In the future, the inmates of a private underground prison are computer controlled with cameras, dream readers and devices that can cause pain or death. John Christopher Lambert and his illegally pregnant wife, Karen Lauren Lachlan, are locked inside the fortress but are determined to escape before the birth of their baby.
12:46.190 --> 12:47.574
Okay, fair.
12:47.612 --> 12:48.744
Very fair.
12:48.744 --> 12:52.218
It's, um, a prison movie. It's a future prison movie.
12:52.244 --> 12:57.858
When I was describing this movie to you, I go, It's a space prison.
12:57.884 --> 12:59.266
Yeah. No, they're not in space.
12:59.278 --> 13:03.090
I'm like it's. Christopher.
13:03.090 --> 13:06.862
Lambert. Christopher Lambert in space. In the prison, which is not what it is.
13:06.876 --> 13:10.566
Which is not. It's an underground desert prison.
13:10.566 --> 13:10.882
Yes.
13:11.016 --> 13:14.522
Um, which is fine. That's okay.
13:14.546 --> 13:17.158
It's not as interesting as space. Is that what you're trying to say?
13:17.184 --> 13:21.542
Well, here's the thing. If it's in space, what's the point of escape?
13:21.566 --> 13:28.412
That's very true. Yes. In space, no one can hear you scream. Or so that tagline to that movie that one time.
13:28.412 --> 13:33.690
But, uh, in space, does crime pay?
13:33.690 --> 13:44.362
Yeah. I guess that's maybe an overused line. I do quite like it in the context of the movie, though, because this movie does play a lot into the strengths of it, being very, very silly.
13:44.376 --> 13:52.078
Would you, um, think that would be a better tagline? Like, that would be a good tagline for the film. Right. Crime does not pay.
13:52.104 --> 13:53.978
Oh, you're going to tell me the tagline?
13:54.014 --> 13:55.258
That's not the tagline.
13:55.344 --> 13:57.850
What? They're missing the fucking beat there.
13:57.900 --> 14:00.790
The tagline makes no sense. Okay, you ready?
14:00.840 --> 14:03.646
Right. Okay. I'm about to be disappointed.
14:03.708 --> 14:05.110
Welcome to the future.
14:05.160 --> 14:10.530
Where punishment is the ultimate crime.
14:10.530 --> 14:11.610
What?
14:11.610 --> 14:13.714
Exactly? That doesn't make any sense.
14:13.812 --> 14:15.206
Correct. It does not make sense.
14:15.218 --> 14:22.870
We're going to do a rundown. Let's say we get to episode fifty 50, going to do a rundown just specifically on taglines and how to make them better.
14:22.920 --> 14:26.878
Why wasn't it Crime does not pay?
14:27.024 --> 15:04.954
Well, because when movies are made, the marketing Department is completely separate from the creative ensemble that makes the movie. That's what I'm assuming happens. Okay. And Stuart Garden might have come in and being like, I like that poster. And then that's it. You just kind of walked out. Right. Because that's the only reason. I know. That is I watched a few documentaries with Ridley Scott and he gets himself right in there, gets his fingers and all the pies, and he's like, I like that poster. I think it was for Gladiator or something. And that poster for Gladiator is nothing special.
15:05.112 --> 15:09.142
But yeah, uh, I don't trust Ridley Scott anymore.
15:09.156 --> 15:21.510
Well, no, we get to talk about something we like, which is fortress. Yeah, well, the film starts and we're basically plunged into thick Dystopia, and I fucking love a bit dystopia.
15:21.510 --> 15:37.290
Okay. So in this world that we are thrust into, the people in America are only allowed to have one baby per woman.
15:37.290 --> 15:50.098
Right? Right. Is that abundantly clear at the beginning of the movie, though? I don't know, because that's the thing. As we were watching it, that didn't become clear until about twenty, 20 or 30 minutes.
15:50.124 --> 16:00.690
I watched the beginning twice because, like I was saying before I started it when I was away and I watched it without you until all the penises showed up. And then I knew I had to stop it.
16:00.690 --> 16:09.510
Yeah. That is the makeup of our lives now. It's like if we start a movie and it Dick shows up, we have to stop the film almost entirely and watch it together.
16:09.510 --> 16:24.802
And luckily, this film, it happened early on. And so there was another movie that we're going to have to do in the future that was also amazing that if it happens later in the film, there's nothing I can do. I'm like an hour, twenty, 20 minutes. Boom, boom. Penis.
16:24.816 --> 16:37.786
I just got to. It means you have to watch again. I will have to watch some things. Yeah, uh, I guess. But there's more to talk about in this film than just the Dick. So because this film is fucking madness. Like, I love this movie.
16:37.848 --> 16:42.382
Okay, so you don't like my beginning of the film? You don't like me. Okay, my description.
16:42.396 --> 16:44.218
What do you mean?
16:44.244 --> 16:47.602
I was just saying, in the world, you're only allowed.
16:47.616 --> 16:51.502
But I don't know if that's like, it's explicitly explained.
16:51.516 --> 16:55.130
At least the first five.
16:55.143 --> 17:01.462
5 minutes of this, you find out. Or at least I felt I found out later. So whether or not I'm paying attention by that.
17:01.476 --> 17:08.606
No, you're not. Within the first five, 5 minutes drive up to Border Patrol because they're going from America to Canada.
17:08.618 --> 17:10.594
They're going over the Canadian border. Right.
17:10.692 --> 17:23.190
Okay. And she's got a flag jacket on because she's got a boom boom baby in her belly and they are scanning them for.
17:23.190 --> 17:25.606
Pregnancy. This would have cleared a lot of my.
17:25.608 --> 17:26.266
Oh, my God.
17:26.328 --> 17:30.598
Really? Yeah, that's what I thought. They were aliens.
17:30.624 --> 17:33.346
Yeah. Because I did say space prison.
17:33.348 --> 17:37.774
I was thinking alien stuff. Okay. Um, that does make more sense.
17:37.812 --> 17:59.458
Yeah. So then they're trying to protect her belly from getting shown on whatever scanner that they have. And then she gets scanned and she's clear to go because he's wearing a flat jacket. While they're trying to go through Border Control or Border Patrol, someone else goes through who is pregnant. And then it goes. And then they get caught.
17:59.484 --> 18:01.138
They drag her off to the Fortress.
18:01.164 --> 18:09.538
They do. And one of the border patrol guys goes, you fucking breeders. And they're like, oh, sorry for being so crass.
18:09.564 --> 18:12.670
Yes, those goddamn breeders.
18:12.840 --> 18:19.640
Right. So then you go, okay, you're not allowed to have babies, apparently.
18:19.640 --> 18:34.638
Yeah. Um, it's a real shame. Like the premise of this, um, movie and how it reflects our present day life in twenty 22.
18:34.674 --> 18:57.878
Oh, awful. And it doesn't come up until later in the film, but it was said by Kurtwood Smith, I think at some point, a little bit later where he says that you're not allowed to have more than one baby per woman and abortions are illegal America.
18:57.904 --> 19:20.418
So you get arrested and put into the Fortress prison and you have your baby effectively in a controlled environment so they can take the baby away from you and effectively do experiments on it to become what they are developing is like the master race, like the next evolution.
19:20.454 --> 19:26.678
They're creating human beings, humans that are like robots filled with blue Goo.
19:26.704 --> 19:29.166
Pretty much. Yeah. They're turning them into androids.
19:29.238 --> 19:42.122
It's wild. Yes. And it does not make sense for most of the film. You have no idea what's happening. So we're pretty much just telling you right off the bat what happened.
19:42.196 --> 19:51.242
Sorry. Yeah, it's a big kind of reveal, I guess. But if you've not seen Fortress because according to Crackle, because we started watching the movie on Crackle, that is true.
19:51.256 --> 19:53.702
That is our first film we've ever tried to watch on Crackle.
19:53.716 --> 20:06.254
Yeah. And it's probably the last because we were watching it on Crackle. On Crackle. It said it was made in ninety 93. Came out in ninety 92. And if you use, um, Crackle, I don't know. Does Crackle have like a subscription service?
20:06.292 --> 20:14.354
It might, but it's free. So you go, oh, lovely. I can watch a movie legally for free with ads.
20:14.392 --> 20:21.606
And the ads are like every fifteen, 15 minutes. Mother of Crisis. Yeah. It's crazy.
20:21.618 --> 20:35.558
There's an an hour and a half long movie with like three, 3 minutes of ads every ten or fifteen, 15 minutes. Bless their hearts. They're doing their best. But I'm like, Yikes. When we started, it was in.
20:35.584 --> 20:40.022
Yeah. No, it was in box. Yeah. A VHS transfer. Yeah.
20:40.036 --> 20:41.414
It was a terrible quality.
20:41.452 --> 20:42.938
Really bad.
20:42.964 --> 20:46.214
Then, Ryan, you found it on YouTube for free.
20:46.312 --> 20:53.906
Yes. So pretty much because we're recording this we're recording this quite late into the evening because we were just like, fuck it, let's record something.
20:53.908 --> 20:55.442
We made a delicious stir Fry.
20:55.456 --> 20:57.662
We made a delicious stirfry. We've had some wine.
20:57.676 --> 20:58.298
We did have some wine.
20:58.324 --> 21:00.302
And we're very happy right now.
21:00.316 --> 21:01.430
It's a great time.
21:01.480 --> 21:05.174
Yes. We've had a rough few weeks.
21:05.212 --> 21:06.938
Thank God for Fortress.
21:07.024 --> 21:48.590
Yes. So we were watching it on Crackle. But I was like, I'm not dealing with these fucking adverts. For the most part. It was, uh, diabetes medication. Yeah. And I don't know what medication commercials are like in the US until I watch these commercials. And we watch the same commercial two times through because we had to watch four commercials once in a row. Yes. So we had to watch the same commercial twice, once after the other. And for whatever reason, they list all of the terms and the conditions and all the side effects and stuff within the commercial. And the commercial itself ends up being like about a minute and a half. And let's put it this way, if we spoke as fast as the guy who was doing that commercial, this podcast episode would probably last about five, 5 minutes.
21:48.640 --> 21:58.574
Seen those from the trip. And Rob Bryden, uh, is talking about how he would do commercials. He would do the terms and conditions. He would do really fast. Whatever I can't.
21:58.672 --> 22:01.118
Yeah. Well, that's a radial thing.
22:01.144 --> 22:01.262
Yeah.
22:01.276 --> 22:09.674
But that's also really a TV thing, because on TV it is on TV. You get around it because you put and you talk, you put the stuff in really small writing at the bottom.
22:09.712 --> 22:20.710
You speak really fast about how if you take this medication, you're going to have diarrhea suicidal thoughts and you'll bleed from your eyes. So you have to say it really fast.
22:20.710 --> 22:33.518
Yeah. Also, this is medication that only works with type one diabetes, not type two. So you have to make sure you have the right medication if you're interested. And you have diabetes and scenes of them in a fucking solar farm and all those other bullshit.
22:33.544 --> 22:39.758
What the fuck is this bless your hearts. Anyone who has diabetes, just watch Crackle. And there's adverts for.
22:39.784 --> 22:58.342
Like, those fucking Viagra adverts where it's just like a man on a horse. Yeah. Just like you can be a man one day. A man who back. It's like Radar Stallion. We're kind of getting off point. Okay. Yeah.
22:58.366 --> 23:30.094
She's pregnant. And because of, uh, this, unfortunately, um, the reason that they are getting arrested, which they point out pretty early on, is that unfortunately, they're first born, passed away, which is the most awful thing you can imagine. And so, of course, they would be hiding the fact that they would want to have another baby. Someone really atrociously said to them, like, oh, one wasn't enough for you. And Lambert is like, yeah, my first baby passed away.
23:30.262 --> 23:30.622
Lambert.
23:30.646 --> 23:32.154
I'm going to keep saying Lambert.
23:32.192 --> 23:33.462
Yeah, right. Well, I don't think it's true.
23:33.476 --> 23:37.290
But anyway, and I'll say Jeffrey Combs, and you can say Jeffrey Combs.
23:37.340 --> 23:40.254
Okay, please. A character called DD.
23:40.292 --> 23:43.002
No, that's Clifton Collins Jr. No, that's him.
23:43.016 --> 23:48.198
He calls himself DDay. Wait, which one Jeffrey Combs? That's who he plays in the movie.
23:48.224 --> 23:52.018
Guy called DDay. Dday was Clifton Collins Jr. No.
23:52.054 --> 23:58.942
You'Re talking about Jeez. Uh, you're misreading all sorts of shit within the credits. Anyway, carry on.
23:58.966 --> 24:07.638
We're talking about it. They're trying to have another baby even though they're not allowed. And Chaos and Susan, they get put in prison.
24:07.664 --> 24:11.682
So even if the baby's dead, they can't have another baby because they're just replacing the one that.
24:11.696 --> 24:24.222
He never explained that to any authority figure whatsoever. And I wish he would if he only told it to his prison friends. Okay, just tell an authority figure like, oh, this happened. He'd probably still be put in prison.
24:24.236 --> 24:28.158
Well, it's because the computer is that new. She knew. She knew everything.
24:28.184 --> 24:36.346
There is an Overlord computer system. Um, uh, who looks in your dreams?
24:36.358 --> 24:46.338
I'm assuming Z is Z Ten. The Z Ten. I'm assuming it's. What do you call that? An abbreviation of some kind?
24:46.364 --> 24:50.850
They never said it was spelled out on the thing.
24:50.900 --> 24:57.560
Either way. Either way, there's a female, uh, computer, and she's horrible.
24:57.560 --> 25:06.522
Yes. Um, she watches your dreams, and you're not allowed to have sexy dreams, which is hilarious. Do you remember when very first night.
25:06.536 --> 25:09.222
Well, no, hold on. You're glossing over like a big.
25:09.236 --> 25:10.794
I haven't even talked about Dixie.
25:10.832 --> 25:13.186
Yeah, because you're glossing over that whole bit.
25:13.258 --> 25:15.666
I'm so excited about the rest of the movie.
25:15.668 --> 25:21.630
The rest of the movie is fucking ridiculous. Okay.
25:21.630 --> 25:31.402
Yeah. Wow, Dixie. Okay. I feel like I have a lot of stuff before that even happened. Like, there's a titular line that happens in the beginning, which happens a million times. So if anyone ever wanted to play.
25:31.416 --> 25:43.702
Well, no, they get caught. So they get caught and they start running across the bridge, right? And a fucking dog set on him. There's dog violence, and that dog fucks him up.
25:43.716 --> 25:55.590
But there's titular, uh, lines throughout this movie, which I was about to point out that if you ever wanted to play the titular line game, don't do it for this movie. Yeah, you'll die because they say Fortress a million times.
25:55.590 --> 26:14.122
Or unless you have a goal. I would, but, my God, uh, let's put it this way. So they get arrested, right? And then it's just a bunch of male prisoners in a train being transported to the desert for the underground prison, obviously called Fortress.
26:14.136 --> 26:23.074
As soon as they arrive, an, um, announcement comes over the intercom that says Strip down.
26:23.112 --> 26:27.450
That tells them over the radio, stripped down.
26:27.450 --> 26:39.458
Yeah. So all of these men have to take off their clothes and walk through the hallways of the Fortress pretty much to get scanned.
26:39.494 --> 26:43.138
Remove all jewelry, remove everything from themselves.
26:43.164 --> 26:47.158
And obviously rings, uh, no rings, anything.
26:47.184 --> 26:57.034
So all their clothing is taken off of them. This is very kind of, I guess, like Holocausty.
26:57.072 --> 27:04.822
Well, it's prisony because you have to. I mean, didn't the same thing happen in, like, Guardians of the Galaxy?
27:04.896 --> 27:28.262
Maybe, but no one saw. They got a hold down that movie, did they? No, they didn't see Raccoon fucking Rocket. Raccoons fucking fucking team. I know. Um, they basically strip off naked, and they're kind of being carried off the train, so to speak. That's where we get an eye full of all these prisoners.
27:28.396 --> 28:07.538
Yeah, there's like five or six at least, men walking through. I mean, everyone's naked. You don't see a lambear penis? No, I don't even think you see a Clifton Collins penis. No, probably not. But it's, um, funny, because out of all the films that we've done and all the films that I've seen that have full frontal, this is the first movie I've seen that has penises reflected in sunglasses. Do you remember there was, like, a cop and he had those mirrored aviators. And then you can see all of the people walking by.
28:07.684 --> 28:14.766
Well, it's the shot that was replicated, uh, from Cool Hand Luke. Oh, right, yeah. So you see the reflector.
28:14.778 --> 28:17.126
There's no penises in that, so I'm not interested.
28:17.248 --> 28:25.990
No, there isn't. That movie is pretty good. Uh, how many eggs can you eat? Oh, not that many.
28:25.990 --> 28:39.066
Yes. That scene comes, um, in at nine, 9 minutes, 25 seconds the film. So you can imagine me sitting in my hotel trying to watch a cool flick and then going, oh, shit. Uh, I think I was on the phone with you, actually.
28:39.078 --> 28:45.698
It's all relatively quite nondescript, though. I mean, it all kind of just within the context of it.
28:45.724 --> 29:03.970
Oh, my God, no. If this didn't have wieners in it, I guess it would be okay. Yeah, but I think kudos, like, kudos to you, Sir Gordon, for putting wieners in this movie, because it's not, like, shocking in any.
29:03.970 --> 29:04.134
Way.
29:04.134 --> 29:06.422
All, um, of these people have to.
29:06.436 --> 29:08.890
Of course, all that shit stuff happens.
29:08.890 --> 29:38.802
Yeah. Like, they all have to strip naked because you're in prison and they have to make sure you don't have any weapons or jewelry. And everyone's got barcodes on their arms. Oh, yeah. Holocaust, I guess. There you go. Bar codes on their arms. And then the barcodes are on the back of their prison uniforms, and everyone's a number. Yeah, but, yeah, I mean, it makes sense because they are naked to just be like, oh, yeah, here's some penises. Yeah. Nothing close up.
29:38.826 --> 30:07.022
There's a lot of them. No, there is quite a lot. But as they're being funneled down this metal corridor, obviously the Foreman, or who would you call who's the prison Foreman is over on the TV, kind of telling them what their places in life and all this other sort of bullshit. But then they all get put in these not so much stewards, but like, these headlock things.
30:07.036 --> 30:11.654
They put their heads, like, through a hole in the wall and captures their necks.
30:11.692 --> 30:15.266
And then they're forced to swallow a bomb.
30:15.328 --> 30:26.942
Yeah, they have to, like, put, man. It's like a big silver cylinder. We can call it phallic if you want. That shit goes right down their throat.
30:26.956 --> 30:30.876
Yeah. They deep throw this mechanical mechanism.
30:30.876 --> 30:33.602
And, um, then they have to swallow a little magnetic bomb.
30:33.616 --> 30:55.418
Well, the thing is, um, the bomb has to go, um, has to reach their intestines. Because as the film progresses, the word they use to activate the bombs that cause them quite a measure of discomfort is called intestinalation. Oh, my God. Yeah. So that's. Why did you not realize that?
30:55.444 --> 30:59.067
I didn't, uh, know. What that word flashing on the screen?
30:59.067 --> 31:03.098
Intestinazation. Um, intestinals. Five, 5 seconds.
31:03.124 --> 31:04.622
That of thing.
31:04.636 --> 31:16.958
And then they Mark out, like, different areas. So if you cross over a yellow line, you'll get discomfort. If you cross into a red line, the fucking bomb goes off in your stomach and it has in your belly.
31:16.984 --> 31:30.602
And that thing is crazy. It almost felt like the first time you saw someone with the intestinalation bomb blowing up in their stomach. You're like, it seems a bit extreme.
31:30.676 --> 31:47.846
Well, here's the thing. It's the control mechanism that they use in this particular prison movie, as opposed to, like, the magnetic boots in Face Off, for example, which is obviously a lot tamer than having a small bomb go off in your stomach.
31:47.848 --> 31:53.882
I mean, this is like Suicide Squad esque, but in your belly and not in the back of your head.
31:53.896 --> 32:07.030
Yeah. It's kind of like a Royal. Except this isn't the first time. Obviously, there's been some level of explosive implanted into someone to keep control of them. Escape, um, from New York.
32:07.030 --> 32:08.410
Anybody.
32:08.410 --> 32:28.022
Right. That's certainly the one I would picture. But the pantheon of prison, or as we would say, future prison movies. Is this film better than Escape Plan? Yes. Or Escape Plan to the Batista edition.
32:28.036 --> 32:35.834
And I got to tell you, you know, I love my Arnold. Yeah. And I love Stallone, but God damn, that movie is boring.
32:35.872 --> 32:39.206
That is not their best outing, like two 2013 or.
32:39.208 --> 32:54.962
I think that movie came out so boring. I'll go to the theater for any type of Stallone, any type of Arnold, no matter how it disappoints me sometimes. But that movie is not good.
32:54.976 --> 32:57.002
Is it better than The Condemned.
32:57.016 --> 33:00.818
That stone cold movie that we bought a million years ago and never watched?
33:00.844 --> 33:17.378
We don't know. We don't know yet because we haven't seen it. And another one came, obviously, I spoke about Face Off. I don't think this film is as good as Face Off, but I don't know if it's as good as Ricky O or the Story of Ricky, which also takes place in a prison.
33:17.404 --> 33:19.286
I haven't seen them yet.
33:19.348 --> 33:26.942
Well, we can watch. We can watch the story. Ricky. Ricky. Oh, at some point I've got it on Bluray. Okay. It's fucked, um, up.
33:26.956 --> 33:31.046
I know Fortress is pretty good.
33:31.228 --> 33:57.198
So the reason I bring those other movies up, though, is that this obviously falls into a lot of the trappings of those movies. The story is always progressing to the point where the characters need to escape. That's pretty much all it is. That's all you get from a prison drama. It's pretty much we need to get out.
33:57.224 --> 34:01.880
Is this better than Shaw Shank.
34:01.880 --> 34:05.410
Redemption? Um, I mean, it's more entertaining.
34:05.460 --> 34:06.298
Oh, my.
34:06.324 --> 34:10.798
Then The Shawshank Redemption. It's a lot funnier.
34:10.824 --> 34:21.982
Say to me like, hey, Laura, I like to watch a prison movie today. Would you want to watch Shaw Shank? Or would you like to watch Fortress?
34:21.996 --> 34:35.926
What would you rather watch for? Okay, I think Shawshank has its place. You know what I mean? They put Shawshank up there with Citizen Kane and how good that film is, and it's a very good film.
34:36.048 --> 34:40.534
But I feel like in love. I don't have, like, a boner for Shawshank. People do.
34:40.572 --> 34:48.330
Yeah. I mean, Darabonts only made, like, three good films, you know, that's one of them.
34:48.330 --> 34:50.678
Wait, is it also Twister?
34:50.774 --> 34:51.898
Frank Darabont.
34:51.924 --> 34:56.080
Oh, no, wait, who did.
34:56.080 --> 35:00.506
Twister? Uh, who did Twister? Jan De Bont.
35:00.568 --> 35:01.502
Yeah. Who did you say?
35:01.516 --> 35:08.870
I said Frank Darabont. I was close. Okay. Two completely different directors.
35:08.920 --> 35:11.126
Yeah, but Bond Debant.
35:11.248 --> 35:31.118
Yeah. Jan De Bont. Yeah. Danish cinematographer. Uh, by trade, Derek Bond also did sound as similar to me. Right. Okay. I was dropping some fucking knowledge on you. My apologies. He also made fucking Speed. Wait, which one made Speed? Buckwe is Hot Shot. Which one's Speed? What are you talking about?
35:31.144 --> 35:32.622
Which one made Speed?
35:32.646 --> 35:36.602
Yander Bond. Hell, yeah. See, and, uh, he also did Twister.
35:36.616 --> 35:37.562
Five star films, right?
35:37.576 --> 35:38.330
There you go.
35:38.440 --> 35:40.622
Right. But we were talking about Shawshank, which was.
35:40.636 --> 35:51.942
Yeah, we're talking about Frank Daraborn because he did The Green Mile as well. And he also did. Yeah, that was also in prison. Stephen King stuff. Stephen King loves prisons. But also he did The Mist.
35:52.026 --> 35:53.498
Uh, well, listen, I got to love the mist.
35:53.524 --> 36:48.170
Yeah. I mean, Frank Darabont loves Stephen King, but that's how Frank Darabont got his start, because Stephen King optioned some of his books, uh, his short stories for nothing so that people could make them into films. And that's how Frank Darbon got his start. He adapted one of his short stories, obviously. Um, Shawshank is a short Navela. It's a short story. Uh, RIA Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption became one of the best films ever made anyway, pretty much. We're talking about prison movies. They all kind of fall into the same trappings. And when you get into, like, these situations where it's just a bunch of men in prison. Oh, dear. Well, that's the thing. That's when men start talking about your ass or how are you going to pay the rent, that sort of.
36:48.170 --> 36:58.482
Thing. What is the name for a man that's like the sexy man in prison? It's going to be offensive. I'm not trying to be offensive or anything.
36:58.496 --> 37:02.082
I thought, well, there's the fresh fish. I know that.
37:02.096 --> 37:08.478
But there's like, a, uh, man who likes to find the men to have sex with him.
37:08.504 --> 37:11.970
I don't know. Does he call them, uh, pudding? Uh, I don't really know.
37:12.020 --> 37:22.882
Okay, well, we can call them pudding. And so if there was a pudding in the movie, it would be Clifton Collins Jr. Who is the hot piece of pudding in this movie.
37:22.906 --> 37:38.146
There's an uncomfortable amount of shots in the movie where it's just these grown men and, like, they're tattooed and they're chiseled and stuff. Like they look like they look like prisoners. They, um, just giving them, like, a sideways glance.
37:38.158 --> 37:47.090
They're giving them wink, wink and eyebrow lift, and they keep looking at Clifton Collins. Pudding ready to get in there?
37:47.090 --> 37:49.830
Yeah. Punching those cheeks.
37:49.880 --> 37:55.578
Like, right when he walks in the door, they're like, hey, they're ready.
37:55.604 --> 37:59.694
And he's like, far too good looking. Yes, that's the problem. He's far too fresh faced.
37:59.732 --> 38:23.194
Yeah, he's fresh fish. Yes. It's so bad. There is a part a little bit later where sweet Clifton Collins Jr. Is just trying to work. They've all got pickaxes. They're widening out the prison, and then this dude is literally trying to rape him.
38:23.242 --> 38:35.278
Prisoner one 187, 87. The thing when it starts and you see it, it's like he's got them slightly undressed and they're working.
38:35.434 --> 38:44.902
Imagine everyone's at work and everyone's just trying to do their job. And then this random dude got this guy half undressed and screaming.
38:44.926 --> 38:51.030
They're like, Gary, calm down.
38:51.030 --> 39:03.742
Hi. He's screaming. And they're like, oh, leave him alone. Let him get to it. It's like, no. Liz Bear comes up and punches the shit out of, like, prisoner one 187. Cliff in calling.
39:03.756 --> 39:12.878
Yes. Because the thing is, this isn't funny. It's not meant to be funny. Maybe it's the way in which you see it and you're just like, oh, Jesus.
39:12.914 --> 39:20.794
He's fucking undressing him screaming I'm like, is he trying to rape this man? One 100% at work right now. This is a professional environment.
39:20.832 --> 39:21.442
Well, look, I mean.
39:21.456 --> 39:26.110
To be fair, this isn't okay in any environment. I just want to make that very clear.
39:26.160 --> 39:33.276
Yes. No, that's very true. They're alluding to it quite early on to the point where it's a bit Reapy.
39:33.276 --> 39:43.138
Like, uh, one after the other people are. And this is a different man, by the way, that was into him in the beginning. This is like five, 5 minutes later and a different man who's into the pudding.
39:43.164 --> 40:35.794
Yeah, that was the roommate. They're obviously like. They're quite like. They're stuffing. They're just stuffing people into these cells pretty much because they're like six roommates or some roommates in one area. And they're trying to dig further into the prison so they can create more floors so that obviously they can get more prisoners in and stuff like that. But, yeah, the reason, uh, uh, we know it's. Prisoner one 187 is tattooed that number on his forehead. Yes, he does. He's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen in my life. But no, it's, uh. All right. Christopher Lambert dispatches them and fights them on this, uh, bridge scene and stuff like that. And it's like, really good. Yeah. But it's okay because they're, like, kill the prisoner and he doesn't do it. And his fucking stomach implodes.
40:35.952 --> 40:42.502
Yeah. They execute him via his magnetic stomach bomb.
40:42.516 --> 40:46.378
Well, no, the, um, robot shoots him in the stomach.
40:46.464 --> 40:49.462
Oh. And, uh, then he grabs a little bomb out of it. Oh, God.
40:49.536 --> 40:49.702
Yeah.
40:49.716 --> 40:53.978
Because they shoot him in the belly and his whole belly is wide open. And the guy, like.
40:54.014 --> 40:56.806
Fucking puts his hand all the way through it's.
40:56.868 --> 40:59.702
So gross. I loved it.
40:59.786 --> 41:12.690
Fucking awesome. So good. Um, my gosh. But because Lambert couldn't dispatch them and kill them for them, they put them in a Gyroscope. Uh, that makes them all rule.
41:12.690 --> 41:28.610
I cannot believe that this film has a Gyroscope. And I have a list going on letterbox of all of my favorite VR films that mostly are from there's not a long year span.
41:28.660 --> 41:38.162
Ninety 90s is the decade of the VR movie. I love it because even The Matrix is in the ninety 90s, you know? I mean, closure. Yes.
41:38.296 --> 41:42.762
Uh, like Insanity, Russell.
41:42.786 --> 41:46.154
Uh, Crowe and Virtuosity. Virtuosity.
41:46.192 --> 41:55.682
So good. So good. And having Hackers is fucking hackers. This movie. Somehow you put Lambear in a Gyroscope. Boom.
41:55.876 --> 41:56.202
Done.
41:56.226 --> 41:57.578
You're in my VR list.
41:57.664 --> 42:01.850
Yeah. At Boner.
42:01.850 --> 42:08.514
City, he's having all of these dreams about having sex with his wife, like, really slow. Yes, way too slow.
42:08.552 --> 42:40.098
The minute he arrives making love to his wife and they're in the cell, and it's like it's just rife with rapy undertones. Apart from, obviously, Jeffrey Collins, DDay is in there, and he's got, obviously, glasses that are just the bottom of melt balls. One of, um, the other people who's in there who's obviously got higher pegging than the rest of them. He basically says, uh, don't dream, uh, which I think is a lot easier. Easier said than done.
42:40.124 --> 42:57.470
Yeah. He just says, don't dream. He didn't introduce himself. I don't know your name. And you're saying, don't dream to me. I'm tired. I had a long day, and I can't control that type of thing. Friends. And obviously he dreams about Hot Bone and his, um, wife.
42:57.470 --> 43:01.926
Yeah, I think that comes as a given. Christopher Lambert, he is the Highlander, after all.
43:01.928 --> 43:02.562
He is indeed.
43:02.576 --> 43:06.618
You know what I mean? Like, he's been born in his way through time in those movies.
43:06.644 --> 43:07.026
Hell, yeah.
43:07.028 --> 43:14.298
And I can't remember which one it is where basically it's like he bones a lady every age.
43:14.324 --> 43:18.306
I feel like it's the quickening. The second one.
43:18.368 --> 43:21.346
Right. Okay, so one that's like the soft core porn.
43:21.358 --> 43:25.434
We're going to have to go through those. I'd be happy to watch all those movies.
43:25.472 --> 43:26.390
Yeah.
43:26.390 --> 43:30.198
Maybe Lambear Fest two, 2022.
43:30.344 --> 43:31.842
I the first Highlander.
43:31.856 --> 43:48.246
There is this one point where limbier kicks that due, um, down the stairs. And it's just like that part of showgirls where Jesse Spano, um, from Save by the Bell, pushes Gina Gershwin, uh, uh, down the stairs.
43:48.308 --> 43:52.762
Yeah. That's how you get up in that world, though. That's how you get there. That's how you get center stage.
43:52.786 --> 44:07.050
That's right. And I feel like you had something to tell me, because there's that part where Lambert's wife says to Kurtwood Smith that she was talking, um, about music appreciation. Like, she skipped music appreciation class.
44:07.160 --> 44:24.046
So she saved Lambert from the Gyroscope thing. Basically saves his life, and she pays the price, but she's going to spend the time with fucking Ruble court boy, right?
44:24.168 --> 44:32.950
Yeah. It was the deal. Like, oh, Kirby's, like, you spend your nights with me. Like, you stay with me, and I'll let your husband, um, go free.
44:33.000 --> 44:40.342
Yeah. So it was an off the cuff line that she says to him, Where some of the fucking music?
44:40.356 --> 44:52.918
Oh, no. Because she goes, do you even understand love? Can you even make love? Do you even understand? He goes, well, how do you understand? How do I love music? And she goes, Well, I skipped music appreciation.
44:52.944 --> 46:04.282
Yeah. So supposedly back in the day, there were courses at high school which were music appreciation. So you would listen and swap music albums and stuff with each other to experience new music. And I remember I used to work in a shit place with horrible people. And I remember getting this one story, uh, told this man was in authority. I remember getting this one story told to me about he was in music appreciation. I'm assuming it's the equivalent of. I would say it's not like wood shop. At least in wood shop actually learning a skill. This is kind of like, what would we have called it's? Not home economics. Because at least you're learning how to Cook. It was like personal studies or social studies, basically. Like, how do you interact with other human beings? Which is like the most natural thing for any person on the face of the planet to be able to do. And that's what they're teaching you. But yeah. No, he told me this story, uh, where he went to one of these classes and he didn't like one of the albums that one of the other kids had. So he threw it. He threw out a window.
46:04.296 --> 46:05.098
Oh, my God.
46:05.124 --> 46:25.138
And it broke. I was like, you didn't like the music? And I was like, what sort of music do you like? Basically a bunch of stuff where I was just kind of like, you also had like, tasks. You, uh, used to get very naked, like a lot of the times when he was changing before. Yeah. It was weird. I've seen that story is getting really weird. I saw many pants more often than not. Right.
46:25.164 --> 46:26.602
This is strange.
46:26.616 --> 46:46.258
I had tattoos and stuff like up and down his arms and it was just like music notes. So this man obviously liked music enough to get musical notes and stuff like tattoos all the way up his arm. He looked a little bit like a leathery Roger. And I say that because Rod Stewart is already rather leathery.
46:46.284 --> 46:49.738
What album it was. I'm very curious.
46:49.764 --> 46:52.712
The Kid Rock didn't, uh, divulge it. Well, no, this is the seventy 70s.
46:52.732 --> 46:57.598
Oh, it music appreciation in the seventy 70s.
46:57.624 --> 47:13.870
Yeah. This man was not young. He also liked Boris Johnson. So I don't know if that's ever a fucking claim to any, uh, kind of level of intelligence. But anyway, we've all survived the last two years. I'm not going to hold a grudge.
47:13.980 --> 47:53.602
Well, so the next part that I remember from this movie is where I don't even know what Kurtwood Smith's name is in the film. I don't even know his character name, but it doesn't matter. So he's like, got Lambert's wife and she's all super pregnant, laying in bed, and she wakes up and he's all hooked up to all these tubes and whatnot he's like all topless in this weird chair. All the TVs are going and he's getting pumped up and she's super freaked out. And then he's like, oh, this is pretty weird. And he uncooked himself and it was super uncomfortable. Don't get me wrong, I love a topless scene. Yeah.
47:53.616 --> 47:54.578
You know me.
47:54.614 --> 48:00.274
Kerwin Smith has a very awkwardly hairy chest. Made me very uncomfortable.
48:00.312 --> 48:34.414
Yeah. For being like the master race, or at least like the next evolutionary step of the human gene pool. They're not doing a fantastic job of making these people attractive. And we do kind of look at it all and it's like the man's getting pumped with a bunch of aminos to keep himself awake. And also he doesn't need to eat or drink. And this is also like where he gets absolutely hammered on like, a couple of sips of some champagne. Yeah, he does as well. And he fucking falls over and shit and then goes into the feel position because he's too fucking pissed.
48:34.452 --> 48:41.578
God, you're making me really have to consider whether or not Kerwood Smith is attractive. And I never thought about it before.
48:41.664 --> 48:56.638
Well, I'm not saying that he's not attractive. I feel like within the context of what this superior race is supposedly meant to be doing, they would do a better job of making them look a little bit better than they do.
48:56.664 --> 49:01.390
So to be the superior race, you have to be more attractive than everybody else.
49:01.440 --> 49:33.838
Well, let's put it this way. If we look at generations past where supposedly in speech marks superior races, they had a very particular way in which they would look. But yeah, we, um, do meet some more of these because they're like cloning. Obviously the babies and stuff they're taking from these mothers, these illicit children, they're just kind of turning into these horrible fucking half mechanoid Android thick heads. Pretty much.
49:33.864 --> 49:34.882
Yeah, that's true.
49:34.896 --> 49:47.530
There are some really beautiful, like, gory Stuart Garden stuff in this movie as well, which we won't spoil. That stuff needs to be seen to be believed. There's some really cool shit.
49:47.580 --> 50:01.018
Cool scene where Jeffrey Comes is trying to figure out how to get that little bomb out of their bellies. And he called the little bomb TNT on PMS.
50:01.044 --> 50:04.290
Which I thought was very funny.
50:04.290 --> 50:06.690
Yes, that whole scene.
50:06.690 --> 50:29.258
Um, depending on the culture that we're in now, someone would try and cancel Jeffrey Cohen for that comment in that movie, probably. Yeah. Well, no, they get the bombs out of them because they use the other bomb that they got from the other guy whose stomach got fucking blown out as a magnet. So they just, uh, get the bomb to come out of their intestine and through their throat.
50:29.294 --> 50:36.278
I'm really worried about that. That seems really unsafe. Oh, God. Rip your esophagus open.
50:36.314 --> 50:38.378
It's also not real. It's fine.
50:38.414 --> 50:39.094
That's true.
50:39.132 --> 50:41.882
Yeah. It's also not possible either.
50:41.906 --> 50:42.718
Suspension of disbelief.
50:42.744 --> 50:47.190
I loved it. Yeah, it's phenomenal.
50:47.190 --> 50:59.254
Yeah. There's a scenes with this clone soldiers and they pull the helmets off their face and they're, uh, like low rent robocops. Pretty much, yeah. But they look awesome. And they're so creepy.
50:59.292 --> 51:03.262
Yeah, they're pretty freaky. So good. So where do we go with this? We kind of just like.
51:03.276 --> 51:13.174
I don't want to spoil the whole movie. You guys like it's on YouTube? It's on crackle. If you want to spend two 2 hours at watching a ninety 90 minutes.
51:13.212 --> 51:16.342
It probably ends the way that you suspect it to end.
51:16.356 --> 51:35.914
It does. And there are actually two endings, which is interesting because I don't know which is the original ending. I was having trouble figuring that out. The ending that you have on YouTube is an extended ending, and there is another ending that ends which I could say it's, um, like the border of Mexico.
51:35.952 --> 51:37.042
Okay. That makes more sense.
51:37.056 --> 51:44.314
But then it also extends further in the version that we watch on YouTube, which you guys can watch. So super interesting. Yeah.
51:44.352 --> 51:50.510
And this film also has a sequel, Fortress Two.
51:50.570 --> 52:04.210
Fortress Two, reentry made in Two 2000. I'm going to watch it. We're going to watch it. The penis, in terms of visibility and context. And we're going to write zero to five the film.
52:04.320 --> 52:09.482
Okay. Yeah. Well, I know this. I'm telling everybody else. I'm glad you know this.
52:09.506 --> 52:15.132
Telling everybody else. Okay, good. In terms of visibility and context, I'm going to give this a three 3.5.
52:15.152 --> 52:17.302
Oh, okay.
52:17.316 --> 52:18.790
You it needs more.
52:18.840 --> 52:22.558
No, I think it needs less. I think it's like a one. What?
52:22.644 --> 52:24.382
Yeah, but there's so many penises.
52:24.396 --> 52:29.782
I know. I don't feel like I barely saw any of them. I saw them. Okay.
52:29.796 --> 52:31.714
I feel like I saw them. You can. Well, here.
52:31.752 --> 52:34.010
I didn't really. I didn't really see them that much.
52:34.010 --> 52:35.818
You're going to give it a one?
52:35.904 --> 52:49.654
Probably because I don't really remember seeing anything. All right. It was all kind of obscured. I felt like at one point I was concerned. I'm like, is Laura just seeing Dicks that I don't see?
52:49.692 --> 52:54.466
Yeah, there was a bunch of them. They were walking by. There was like five or six of them.
52:54.468 --> 52:55.762
I mean, I don't know. Maybe I'm just.
52:55.776 --> 52:56.878
I have an eye for it.
52:56.904 --> 52:58.030
Maybe I'm immune to it.
52:58.080 --> 52:58.858
No, it is my job.
52:58.884 --> 53:01.342
Maybe I'm completely desensitized today.
53:01.356 --> 53:11.430
No, you're not. Well, then in terms of rating, I am going to give this film an overall four 4.5.
53:11.430 --> 53:25.258
Okay. I love this movie. Well, I gave it a four because I had a lot of fun with this one. And there's not a lot of films out there that we've seen recently where I've had, like, an absolute ton of fun. And I do quite like this one.
53:25.284 --> 53:50.250
This film is short. It's always nice to have a ninety 90 minutes and especially one that you can just watch on the Internet. And I feel like, weirdly. It's almost an underground type thing. I didn't know this film existed even though we were going through Stuart Gordon movies. Right. And this movie just appeared to me as if in a dream.
53:50.250 --> 54:08.902
Well, it was available a little bit more widely on other platforms because it was on, uh, Amazon for a time. So it was available. We just didn't sit down and watch it. And we wouldn't even know it was going to be a candidate for the podcast if you hadn't watched at least the first nine, 9 minutes.
54:08.916 --> 54:13.834
Yeah. Is always exciting to me because I feel like having it.
54:13.872 --> 54:20.430
Could any film have a Dick? Any film that we have never seen have a Dick in it? Is that what you're thinking? Yeah.
54:20.430 --> 54:39.719
Okay. All movies have a Dick in it unless proven otherwise. Yeah. That's the way love goes. That's very true. I just think it's cool. This is exactly the type of movie I like. It's got a little lamb bear. Yeah. Action. Sci.
54:39.729 --> 54:40.118
Sci-fi.
54:40.144 --> 54:41.462
Yeah. Me up, baby.
54:41.596 --> 54:47.774
Yeah, I like it because it's a prison movie. That's weird. I don't think that's weird.
54:47.812 --> 54:52.142
That is very strange. Well, Ryan, would you recommend this movie?
54:52.156 --> 54:56.834
Yeah, of course I would. Because at the end of the day if you don't like this you don't really like movies.
54:56.872 --> 54:59.678
Yeah. Boom. In your face.
54:59.704 --> 55:00.582
There you go.
55:00.606 --> 55:11.498
It's really good. It's so dumb and I hope you take that with a, um, grain of salt. This movie is dumb as hell. It's awesome though. I also would recommend this movie. It's, um, obvious.
55:11.524 --> 55:19.694
Yeah, it's very fun. There's nothing wrong with it unless you have a problem against fun. Yeah, exactly.
55:19.732 --> 55:34.926
Hell yeah. I don't know, guys. We need something to look forward to these days. Life is rough and tough And I think everyone's having a hard time do yourself a favor and watch this movie Because we're all having a hard time.
55:34.938 --> 55:42.998
We're not able to formulate sentences to the point where we're kind of life is rough and tough.
55:43.024 --> 55:55.922
Thank you, Stuart Gordon. Yeah, well, thank you so much for being here. Stay with me, Ryan. I am honored and pleased and I treasure you.
55:55.936 --> 55:58.510
Thank you so much.
55:58.510 --> 56:05.110
Thanks. Coming to you from the mind wipe Chamber. I've been.
56:05.110 --> 56:12.026
Laura. What's my name again? Ryan. Okay. I'm drooling all over the place. I don't know what's going on.
56:12.028 --> 56:13.562
Oh my God. Have you been in the gyroscope?
56:13.576 --> 56:16.118
I think I've been in the mine white Chamber. That's where we are, right?
56:16.144 --> 56:17.222
We are in the mine white Chamber.
56:17.236 --> 56:17.766
Where are we?
56:17.778 --> 56:21.074
I've got the switch. Do you want me to turn it down a little bit?
56:21.172 --> 56:22.718
Maybe. I'm very dizzy.
56:22.744 --> 56:23.346
Oh, boy.
56:23.358 --> 56:25.274
I've been here for four days.
56:25.312 --> 56:26.834
Oh, no one's ever made it. Four days.
56:26.872 --> 56:27.902
Oh, shit.
56:27.916 --> 56:32.650
Thank you so much for being here, guys. We will see you next.
56:32.650 --> 56:34.062
Time. Who is this?
56:34.086 --> 56:44.000
I'm not going to take him off the gyroscope, mommy.
