April Dispatch is out

Episode 733 – The Rookie (1990)



Oh man. This movie stinks.

Every single cliche about 80s buddy cop movies rolled into one, without any of the joy found in a parody like Last Action Hero. Sheen is woefully miscast to boot. It's got some good explosions and car stunts, but imo it's one of the worst movies Clint Eastwood has ever directed. All the more stunning that it's the last movie he directs before Unforgiven and his 1990s miracle run.

Andrew’s reaction on Nexus today was totally mine when he went “I’m so relieved you both liked this” for Those Old Scientists.

How did they take the Voyager episode? If I remember it was one of the better Voyager episodes, but that's a low rear end bar. The entire series is a sequence of interesting ideas that could make great TV, which are immediately abandoned for terrible TV options.

Also that small budget film had like 8 production companies (the title roll at the start of the movie was hilarious and actively for a grown from my crowd as they just kept coming). I’m sure the Saudi production group could front some more cash for a couple new interstitials.

I'd assume they'd roll on to DS9, and find that the true top Starfleet Captain is The Sisko. The dark era for Nexus will be when they're doing an episode of Voyager and an episode of Enterprise.

I hope they just drop any specific long running tv show. There can be some good stuff but Star Trek and Melro210 is like the least entertaining content they make for me.

Watched some holiday appropriate movies over the weekend with my partner. One of the movies was Stigmata, so I listened to the ep the guys did again today.

Early on they talk about Gabriel Byrne thinking he was going to be Keyser Soze in The Usual Suspects and all the success Kevin Spacey had after that. They go on to say, "He wishes he had everything Kevin Spacey has." :stonklol:

Eric signed up for SA because he told about this thread and wanted to communicate with fans and see what everyone was talking about. He was, rightly, quickly scared away. He is not a goon.

Hi,

Wanted to drop in and let you know some of the thought process here.

A reason we moved mailbags to YouTube is that very few people every downloaded those episodes as audio. Same thing with the On Screen episodes. We receive like maybe a 10th of the download numbers a main episode does. The drop off is like a cliff. So we thought only die hard fans listen to the mailbags, they might enjoy seeing us and making it more of a fan/creator shared experience.

We are not yet sure what we're doing with it but part of making it video only is to get people AWARE we have a YouTube channel. We're going to play with more visual elements going forward, I promise. I also am not sure an On Screen is the best introduction to the show for random people downloading off the main feed too. It just isn't exactly what WHM is, so it's odd for someone to download WHM and hear us gush about a movie instead of "hate" it.

We thought doing Mailbag and OS as video might be a better option than not doing them at all.

We also thought we're coming up 10 years doing this show and it's kinda fun and different to try something new. So a decision there is kinda selfish because we just want to do something different. We want to experiment, have fun in a different way, and see what shakes out. It kinda gets old just doing the same thing forever. I'm open to ideas if you think there's something better we could be doing than YouTube.

We have gotten a ton of positive reaction from fans overseas who resigned to never being able to see a live show, etc, etc.

Eric

Found his most recent post, in case anyone is curious. I guess I shouldn't have said "quickly", he posted for 4 years, but only ever in the 2 Bad Movie Podcast threads.

It's the only sports movie I like more than Major League. It's also a great example how movies used to acknowledge the working class as normal people and simply can't anymore.

I went to the arena they used for filming it and they've got screen used props, costumes, photos all over the place. It's pretty cool.

Before I saw Slap Shot all I knew about it was the Hansen brothers and that they made a DTV sequel decades later with one of the Baldwins. I was shocked that Slap Shot was an actual movie with a point of view and characters and everything! The Hansens are barely in it but they gave it the best moment:
