🎵 This is Free With Ads, the podcast that asks the question,
why pay the Criterion Channel 11 bucks a month to watch the greatest movies ever made,
like Casablanca and Rashomon,
when you can go on YouTube for free and watch the real greatest movie ever made,
which, unlike those snooze fests, includes the scene where Patrick Swayze throws a dog at Keanu Reeves,
who then punts it like a football.
I'm Jordan Morris.
And I'm Emily Fleming.
Today's movie is Point Break, the 90s action movie classic that asks the age-old question,
are we going to jump or jerk off?
Before we get into this movie, which is, as of this recording, streaming free with ads,
let's talk about something else we saw for free on the internet this week.
Other free stuff.
So, mine is an internet comment on a YouTube video.
Okay.
Now, it's from one of the YouTube videos, the Good Mythical Weekend videos.
Okay.
That we've all been doing.
These have been a lot of fun.
Check them out on the Good Mythical Morning YouTube channel that we've all been doing. These have been a lot of fun. Check them out on the Good Mythical Morning YouTube channel.
Link in the show notes.
Link in the show notes.
Check them out.
The usual host, Rhett and Link, not there,
but me, Emily, Matt, and a rotating cast of fun folks
are doing goofy challenges and having a good time.
Now, usually I like to stay out of the comments.
It's not good for anybody.
Let them do what they're going to do in there and protect my mental health.
True.
But I went in there.
Okay.
They were nice enough on Good Mythical Weekend to let me plug the book youth group.
And I was like, hey, I'm going to go in there and see if anybody's excited, see if anybody's asking where to order it, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
No, they were not.
They were just complaining about weird things.
That's okay.
But I did see-
Typical comment section.
Sure, yes.
But I did see this comment, which while probably coming from a bad place, actually really made me laugh and kind of blew my mind.
So not to speak for anyone, but there were some people in this particular video who were out lesbians.
And that was not the content of the show, but just people who are known to be out lesbians.
Yes.
This was the comment.
What is this, the lesbian show?
If I wanted to see lesbians act
silly, I would go to circus.
To
circus? To circus. I would go to
circus. This is the most Borat-ass
shit I have ever read.
Are...
What is the
circus? What does this guy think
the circus is? I know what
the circus is, but what is circus?
I would go to circus.
I don't know.
Maybe circus circus is in Vegas.
Is that that hotel in Vegas?
Yeah.
I heard that's like a dilapidated mess at this point.
It was good in the 90s when my parents used to take me there.
Oh, I see.
Yeah, but no, now it's terrible.
This comment is coming from, for sure, a dark place.
Sure.
But it's so silly.
What is this, the lesbian show?
That sounds great.
I would love to watch the lesbian show.
You should only be so lucky, sir.
I would also love to go to a lesbian circus.
Would that be great?
Amazing.
Maybe I don't know what a circus is.
Maybe this guy knows what circus is, and we've been wrong. Maybe I don't know what a circus is. Maybe this guy knows what circus is.
Maybe we don't know what circus is.
I guess, you know, and I guess in the times
I've been to the circus, I haven't really known
the orientations of the
people involved. Maybe it is
an inordinate amount of lesbians.
Well, you know what? Here's the thing. He may
have taken time out of
going to circus
to watch this video. And now he's like i'm back and now he's
like fuck i could have been at circus and i would have been having a better time with lesbians this
is not enough lesbians the lesbians at circus were more there were more and now this is some yeah
sure it's only some not enough there's not. There's not even funnel cake at my house.
This guy is just such an ally.
He is such an ally.
I think he's such an ally that he's pissed he only got a couple of lesbians.
Sure.
When he could have gotten a whole-
Circus.
A whole big top.
A whole big top full.
Riding elephants, throwing knives.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wait.
What's Cirque du Soleil?
That's French. So that's notque du Soleil? That's French.
So that's not really Cirque du Soleil.
We don't have to talk about it.
We don't have to talk about Cirque du Soleil?
I think it's, listen, it's all beautiful.
It's all art.
It's all art.
It is.
But so sorry, buddy, that there weren't enough lesbians for your viewing experience.
I'm sure that we'll, I don't know.
I can't wait till Circus.
I don't know what the hiring process is.
I can't wait till Circus comes to town.
I can't wait for Circus.
Yeah.
Well, there you go.
In summation, never look at YouTube comments.
Never.
Hey, today's movie, Point Break.
Matt, you've seen it before.
Emily, you've never seen this movie before.
Never, ever seen it.
It is a sleepover classic, a cable classic.
I'm surprised you dodged it for this one.
Well, I think that sleepover classics for boys,
I mean, I'm not trying to overly gender anything,
but when I was a girl, most of the stuff we watched was
if we could sneak a horror movie in there, we'd try,
and then we'd cry and turn it off.
But it was mostly, I don't know, fantasy stuff, like Labyrinth.
That was kind of what we were digging on.
So it's grown men who like to do stunts and shit.
Yeah, but it's for little boys like me.
Yeah.
And the thing is, like, we watch things like, I don't know, like Now and Then and stuff where it's like girls riding bikes and like climbing a tree.
It's not really like doing stunts or whatever.
All right.
Well, yeah, point break.
I'll be excited.
We did have Motocrossed,
which was a made-for-Disney TV movie.
That was pretty lit.
We did have that.
Right.
Now, is anyone in that movie
young, dumb, and full of cum?
I remember.
Oh, God.
I forgot to put that as my quote.
Oh, we'll talk about
young, dumb, and full of cum.
Is that where that comes from?
Oh, yeah.
This movie has so many quotable lines, and I'm not sure.
Some of them, I'm not exactly sure why they've been quoted so much, but I just know that,
and again, I'm so in the pocket for who this movie means something to.
Yeah, you're a California boy.
You're both California boys.
It's a very SoCal movie.
That's right.
Matt, how did you experience this?
So, well, I first saw it when I was in middle school.
My best friend, Johnny, who showed me all the cool movies, told me about this one.
Whoa, cool.
Yeah, Johnny was so-
He sounds rad.
Yeah, he was the raddest kid I know.
Did he have a butterfly knife and M80s?
No, but his parents were Scientologists, but then they got excommunicated because they're fucking rad.
Cool.
All right.
Fucking too rad for Scientology.
Too rad for Elrond.
Hell yeah.
And yeah, he showed it to me, and it was, as a kid, this was the coolest movie I'd ever seen.
And then re-watching it as an adult, I finally saw it as like a, I i don't know someone with a fully developed brain and i
was just like this is one of the dumbest movies i've ever seen well but uh it is still what a
ride yeah well okay so young dumb full of cum i've heard it forever right that's literally from this
it's from this is it really i feel like that he was taking that from porn. Oh, maybe. Maybe this was just a cliche. I thought it was in a song or something.
No, it was a 70s porn, I'm sure.
It's kind of early in the movie, so let's get to it.
Let's do it.
We start out.
All right.
Keanu Reeves, he's Johnny Utah.
He's in the rain.
He's shooting a gun at targets.
We cut between him and Patrick Swayze's Bodhi surfing.
These are two men who will soon collide out in the waves.
Johnny Utah, Keanu
Reeves, he's going through. It's his first day
at the LAPD.
And his captain is John C.
McGinley, and he's a fucking tough
ass, and he doesn't like Keanu
Reeves one bit. Is it too early
for Hunkwatch? You know what?
Let's talk about it. Hunkwatch. Why not?
It's Hunkwatch? You know what? Let's talk about it. Hunkwatch. Why not? It's Hunkwatch.
Give me Quigley.
Give me that Quigley.
You like McGinley.
Was it McGinley?
John C. McGinley.
Yeah.
I thought you said Quigley.
I like Quigley better.
I'm going to call him Quigley.
Yeah.
So John C. McGinley, maybe most known as, I don't know, maybe most known as the mean
doctor from Scrubs.
Hell yeah. Or he was in Office Space
I did know him from that
oh yeah yeah yeah
that's the role for me
with him
a really wonderful
that guy from that thing
fantastic
but it's funny
because on IMDB
it says
John C. McGinley
Ben Harp
as
John C. McGinley
oh interesting
so
what does that mean
maybe he like added the C to get around
some of that stuff.
Yeah, or something.
I don't know,
but it's Ben Harp as John McGinley.
I don't get that at all.
But yeah, I want him to take
his tiny straight teeth
and bite my neck.
Okay.
I don't know.
I just like his cantankerous attitude.
I mean, he is just a classic,
hard-ass captain.
He's mean to Keanu Reeves for basically no reason.
He just hates him.
But here's the thing.
Of course Keanu Reeves is another hunk watch.
For sure.
No need for the sting.
He's another one because their interaction together was so hot.
Yeah.
I loved when-
This movie has hot man-on-man yelling.
Yes.
These men are in each other's faces.
Man-on-man chemistry, whether it's angry or, I don't know, affectionate.
Sure.
So when he walks in to, I guess, the office or the FBI headquarters, wherever he's going to be,
he's got to answer to our boy mcginley over here and
he is just railing on him like you can't drink we don't drink coffee we blah blah and keanu reeves
is just going answering every question with a positive response like absolutely sir i'd be
happy to do that like he is and you could tell that that McKinley's like a little bit caught off guard
because he's a little charmed.
Sure.
And he's, by the end of that conversation,
he's like, fuck you anyway.
The thing that sets him off is that Keanu Reeves
takes a bite of a donut.
Right.
Too casual, it's too casual for the FBI.
That's not eating clean.
That's not eating clean.
And then yes, the oft-quoted line happens.
Matt, do you got this?
Can we listen to it?
Guess we might have ourselves an asshole shortage, huh?
Guess we might have ourselves an asshole shortage. I love it.
Not so far. Yeah, not so far
as he walks away. Not so far.
He's so hot.
I have some thoughts on Hunkwatch, but I should
say that that was not the first draft of that line.
There were a couple others. It was originally
a worm firm and full of sperm.
They also tried huge, a stooge, and full of spooge. Pop quiz, you Worm Firm and Full of Sperm. They also tried Huge, A Stooge
and Full of Spooge. Pop Quiz
You're a Whiz and Full of Jizz.
So then they landed on Young, Dumb
and Full of Cum.
Wait a minute, wait a minute. I want to
come up with one. Sure, yeah.
Let's wait.
Hold on.
Yeah, Matt and I will just stare at our phones.
No, I want to do one. I want to do one, too.
Do you want to have one?
Whack, mack, and full of gack.
Yeah, sure.
Whack, smack, and full of gack.
That works.
I don't know that I've ever heard semen referred to as gack, but it has a gack-like quality
to it.
Wait, what about hunk, funk, and full of spunk?
Did you already do spunk?
These are all great.
No, I didn't.
Okay, all right.
I also, this is one I didn't do.
A druid, a zooid, and full of seminal fluid.
T-min, a demon, and full of semen.
These are some cut ones.
Oh, that's so good.
Let us know your favorite.
John C. McGinley catchphrase, free with ads.
I just love how much Emily and I are going, um.
I worked on this all afternoon.
It's fine.
These aren't off the dome
We want to rip one Jordan
Alright
Anyway
Mean green and full of seed
There you go
It doesn't work
I was looking for one with seed
If there's a good one for seed out there probably
So I just want a few more words about Hunkwad
New Jew and filled with goo
That's true I'm sorry I don't know Keanu Reeves. New Jew and filled with goo. That's true.
I'm sorry.
I don't know if Keanu Reeves is a Jew, though.
I mean, again, I don't want to note these to death.
You're just coming off of them off the dome.
I spent an afternoon on this on RhymeZone.com.
By the way, it knows the word spooge.
Hell yeah.
Shout out to RhymeZone.
RhymeZone.com.
A quick word about hunk watch.
Oh, wait.
It's mean, green, and full of cream. There you go. There you go. All right. Quick word about hunkwatch. Oh, wait. It's mean, green, and full of cream.
There you go.
There you go.
All right.
Quick word about Hunkwatch, please.
Sorry.
So, you know, one of my all-times is in this Lori Petty.
And this is a very important role of hers in her filmography to me.
A babe of the pod.
Oof.
And so, yeah.
So I think we are raising Lori Petty's jersey up into the rafters.
Yes.
And we we we need not make her hunk watch, although I'm sure she will come up again on this pod.
Yes.
Quick minute to talk about Patrick fucking Swayze.
Yeah.
We never talked about on this podcast.
I think he's so great in this.
Of course.
And just, you know, just live, beautiful dancer's body, intense, doing the fucking karate kicks. Of course. And just you know, just live, beautiful, dancer's body, intense,
doing the fucking karate kicks.
My God. It's kind of amazing because
you watch this movie and you see
how just fantastic
Patrick Swayze is as an actor.
Cheer, yeah. And
Keanu Reeves is
not a great actor.
I worry about Keanu Reeves'
neck. Oh yeah? Can he move it? He's very a great actor. I worry about Keanu Reeves' neck.
Oh, yeah?
Can he move it?
He's very stoic.
He has a stiff neck. Well, okay.
Straight.
Okay, at the end of the movie, he throws something into the ocean, but he does not move his neck.
Yeah, he's got a Batman neck.
It's like this. It's got like Batman neck.
It's like I had a, okay, my papa had a, he was in a tuberculosis ward for a lot of like
my mom's childhood and stuff.
And then he had Crohn's and then he had arthritis and he had to get a lot of his spine and neck
replaced with like, you know, fake stuff.
Yeah.
So he couldn't move his head up.
Oh my gosh, papa.
His like neck had to be like, so his body could move.
So it's like if he introduced himself,
it was like this fun thing where he had to scoop his whole body up
and go, ha-ha.
But Keanu Reeves looks like he's got my pat-paw neck.
Everywhere he goes, it's like he can't move his neck very much.
He's, in general, sort of a stiff actor in terms of his line delivery.
But he's physical. But maybe some of that comes from the neck.
Yeah, but he's such an athletic, physical actor.
But yeah, he's not a dancer.
He ain't no Patrick Swayze.
I just want to say that although I am saying something that could be perceived as negative about Keanu Reeves,
the truth of it is, despite his not fantastic acting ability,
he is one of the most just captivating actors.
Engaging.
Engaging.
So it's like, he's wonderful.
And I think time has been kind
to these Keanu performances,
which I think were punchlines at the time.
Yes.
But I think now we see that he is doing something.
Yeah.
And you know, it can,
and especially in like a big, crazy,
dumb, insane movie like this,
this thing maybe seems like a little bit small,
but like, you know, it works so well in other stuff.
But he's supposed to be kind of like he's undercover.
He has to like play everything kind of tight.
He's got to like play his cards tight, you know?
They are real fast and loose
with some of the undercover stuff in this.
Boy.
They don't take it that seriously.
I was watching this going,
what is the FBI?
I remember just watching it and going,
at some point,
how is it that these cops
couldn't catch these people with masks on?
It just really seems like a derpy-der kind of thing.
And no one knows what anybody else is doing.
Have some meetings, people.
Yeah, when are we calling in the FBI?
Have an all-hands.
Have an all-hands.
Exactly.
So, yeah, let's get into it a little bit more.
Keanu Reeves, he's paired up with Pappas,
played by Gary Busey.
Yeah!
Going wild, Busey.
Definitely not in the Hunkwatch.
No.
Nowhere close.
Sure.
But he's part of the newest sting,
which is biggest teeth.
I know.
He's 50 chomps away from the Hunkwatch.
Those are the biggest teeth.
He was great in this movie, though.
I did like watching it.
He's so fun in this part.
He's going for it.
Yeah, totally. He knows that this is a crazy movie this part. He's going for it. Yeah, totally.
He knows that this is a crazy movie.
Yeah.
And he's an old grizzled cop.
He doesn't like this kid either.
Why does no one like Keanu Reeves?
He's fine.
Because he's new.
Because he's handsome and he's new.
And he took a bite of a fucking donut.
Oh, fuck him.
And so, okay.
So they let Keanu know everybody's working on a case.
It's the ex-presidents.
They're these guys who rob banks in president's masks.
They're crazy.
They're pulling down their pants as they're going out of the bank.
And Pappas has a crazy theory that all the other FBI guys laugh at him for.
He thinks that they're surfers.
He looks at the guy's tan as he's pulling down his pants to, like, moon the security camera.
He's like, that's a tan line.
These guys are surfers.
And so the plan is for Keanu, the new guy, the young guy, to go undercover to learn to surf and find just some guys out of the water who might also rob banks.
Any surfers.
So he gets aboard.
He goes out there.
He fucking eats shit immediately.
He's pulled out of the water by Lori Petty.
Woo!
Oh, boy.
Okay.
Yes, she's Tyler.
She's got the Go-Go's haircut.
So cute.
Yeah, she's great.
And he says, so she like fucking reads him the riot act.
She's like, why are you out there?
You shouldn't be out there in the water.
You clearly don't know how to do this.
And there's this moment that makes me laugh every time.
I've always loved this part of the movie.
He shouts at her as she's going back out into the waves.
My name's Johnny Utah.
And she just goes, who cares?
I actually almost put that in my favorite quote.
I love that part.
It's so funny.
And I think at some point this movie was just called Johnny Utah.
So maybe that was a remnant from.
That's so funny because there's a Disney movie called Johnny Tsunami.
Oh, yeah.
That was a made for Disney TV movie about a surfer.
I would love it if this was like the first draft was a Disney movie about some bank robbers who were surfers
and they're like, this seems a little dark.
Maybe Disney lets go of this one.
But we should let people know,
if this is your first episode listening with us,
we are huge Tank Girl fans.
I love Tank Girl.
And so we love Miss Petty.
This is like her can do no wrong period.
And obviously she's been in
tons of great shit
but like
this tank girl
league of their own
oh my god
peak Petty
yeah
nobody does it better
she's also been in
Gotham
which is a TV show
that everyone hates but me
and we watched the pilot
for Free With Ads
on Maximum Funs
yeah and the old bonus feed so Maximum Funs. Yeah, in the old bonus feed.
On our bonus feed.
So if you want to sign up for Maximum Funds bonus material,
we are definitely talking about that,
but not the one that she's in.
But she is in it.
So, and she, and then, you know,
and not to just sit here and talk about every single fucking thing
Lori Petty does in this movie.
We love her.
She towel changes.
Oh, my God.. Oh my God.
Oh my God.
And the jorts are so cute.
The jorts look great.
Wait, what were you going to say about the towels?
It's just as great when she towel changes.
Oh yeah?
It's that thing where you wrap the towel around
and then you pull off your swimsuit
and you go on your car.
You see the swimsuit.
It's so sexy.
It's so sexy.
You guys are,
all I thought about was,
oh, I want some longer jorts.
They are, yeah, they are very fashionable. I also thought that. I also thought that. That's are, all I thought about was, oh, I want some longer jorts. They are, yeah, they are very fashionable.
I also thought that.
I also thought that.
That's kind of how I thought,
when I was watching the closing ceremony
for the Olympics,
Billie Eilish had these really cute,
like cargo shorts that were like.
Cargo shorts are bad.
That were like below the knee,
and I was like, oh shit, do I need to get those?
Long shorts.
It's gonna be a long short fall.
Yeah.
We had a hot brat summer and we're having a long short fall.
Long short fall, baby.
Heck yeah.
Okay.
So he is just fixated on her.
He's like, you need to teach me how to surf.
He bothers her at work.
And she's like, fine.
Come out at 6 a.m. and I'll teach you how to surf.
And so they do the thing.
Oh, and he also tells her this backstory about him.
And we, the audience, don't know his backstory.
But it's like, I was a football star.
My parents died.
And now I decided that I'm not going to live anybody else's life.
So I came out to L.A. and I'm a lawyer who wants to surf.
Yeah.
So that's the backstory he gives her.
And I'm a lawyer who wants to surf.
Yeah.
So that's the backstory he gives her.
But he does it because he finds out through researching her at the bureau that she has a tragic backstory with her parents that are dead.
So he goes, oh, that's my in. Oh, I missed that.
Yeah.
He goes, that's my in.
Yeah, yeah.
And so then he says his parents are dead.
And it sucks her in immediately.
And I was like, damn, is that that how easy it is?
Like as a FBI agent that if you want to get in with somebody, you just find out who's dead in their life.
Sure.
And say, my one of those died as well.
Exactly.
All the cats.
Let's have sex on the beach.
And if no one's dead, you ain't got shit.
You're fucked
I'm sad too
wanting to have sex
yes
yes I do
yes I do
so that's the
so yeah
so that's the back story
that kind of starts
their relationship
so they're out there
learning to surf
and oh my god
fucking Bodhi shows up
and he like
kisses her
they have this very
like interesting relationship where they like used kisses her they have this very like interesting relationship
where they like used to date they still kind of like flirt with each other and are into each other
but like it's um yeah but it's like complicated yeah and yeah you kind of get the sense that they
like still hook up and that maybe you know Bodhi's a rambling man it feels like that is Venice Beach
protocol yeah sure like so many like that is Venice Beach protocol.
Yeah, sure. Like, so many weeks out at Venice Beach a lot, it seems like everybody fucks everybody.
So this is, so we're kind of, and Keanu Reeves just never fucking suspects this guy.
Never suspects this guy till like the very end when there is no other suspects.
Yeah.
This like hot athletic guy with a giant house on the beach and no job to speak of.
He just like, maybe it's this guy.
He never suspects him.
That's not that uncommon.
There's a lot of rich kid surfers.
You're right.
Yeah, you're right.
You could reach to some, you know, like it's a kid.
Yeah, this is parents' money, you know?
No, you might be right. But hey, he's a lawyer surfer.
He's a lawyer surfer.
Maybe there's more of him.
Yeah, you never know.
He could also be a lawyer.
So yeah, so they're playing football on the beach.
And then, that's a big thing, playing football.
They all like, no.
So the thing about Keanu Reeves being a football star at one point was true.
And everybody knows him.
Like, oh, we saw you play the Rose Bowl.
Kind of weird that these surfer guys are into college football, whatever.
And then they run afoul of the surf punks.
Oh, it's a bunch of surf punks.
Anthony Kiedis is one of them.
There's a huge guy named War Child.
What?
Yeah, one of those guys' name is War Child.
I missed that part.
Patrick Swayze briefly says they're Nazis, but it never comes up again.
Oh, yeah, I heard that, and then I thought, that can't be right.
And then I just kind of brushed it aside.
Yeah, they're the worst.
Nazi surfers?
I guess, yeah.
Listen, there's all kinds of surfers out there.
All kinds of surfers.
You go to Venice Beach, you're going to meet Nazi surfers.
You're going to meet Buddhist surfers.
You're going to meet, you know, lawyer surfers.
Motorcycle surfers.
Motorcycle surfers.
They have the motorcycle on top of the surfer.
On top of the surfer.
Dog surfers.
Dog surfers.
Oh, for sure.
Yeah, especially if you have a little bulldog.
Yeah, of course.
That's cute.
Surfing, you know,
it takes all kinds, man.
So they like fight with these guys.
Fucking Swayze
does a bunch of kung fu.
It's so fucking cool.
And Keanu Reeves is like,
these are the guys.
These are the guys.
So they do like a sting on them.
So yeah, so the FBI
is surveilling these surf punks.
And then just like
while some other guys are staking out
this house, he goes to
Bodhi's house for a house party.
There's fire breathers. Oh my fucking
God, this house party.
God, I miss
fun house parties.
I know. I thought the same thing.
I haven't been to a fun house party
in over a decade.
Yeah, me too. It's been probably 10 fucking years.
And I've been to some nice ones with Settlers of Catan.
Or just a bunch of comedians, and they're playing Magic Mike 2 on a big screen, and some of us are watching it.
I feel like the pandemic, those two years, put us for being the young-
Dumb and full of cum people we used to be.
No one's full of cum anymore.
What happened to all of our cum?
The young millennials that people used to lust after.
Yeah, we're old now.
To like make money off of.
To after the pandemic, we were two years later immediately old and full of dust and everyone went Gen Z.
My balls are filled with dust. No more cum.
We were immediately considered old
and all those parties
before the... I was going to tons
of parties before the pandemic.
And now I don't have any
but I don't have anything to go to.
I want to go to a fucking house party so bad.
All of my friends have kids.
That's a thing and I think our
you know, I feel like our
people are like,
I love canceling plans.
That might face when someone cancels.
Yeah, plans are fun.
I don't cancel.
Self-care, sure, do it.
Maybe we all overcommit, but you know what's fun?
Plans. And parties.
And going to parties. And drinking.
And hooking up with somebody at a house party. Yeah back up hell yes let's back up for a second okay i just remembered where he i
have been wait what to some house parties and i remember now i went and went oh yes
i don't like this i forgot i don't like it it's forgot. I don't like it.
It's just,
maybe there was a time in which,
you know,
there was also a time I used to drink and do drugs and stuff.
But there's just something about being old
and surrounded by younger people
who are with fire breathers
and someone's like,
you know,
taking a tequila shot
and they're sucking a lime off each other.
Yeah.
Where you're just like, oh, I actually do kind of want to play Settlers of Catan.
That does sound nice.
Sure, I want to have a LaCroix and go to bed at 10.
I think when we watch this movie, what we're actually saying is,
oh, I wish I was Patrick Swayze.
Right, yeah, sure.
I wish I was one of the leads of this movie.
Yeah, I like to go to house parties and talk at someone until everyone disappears.
Yeah.
Like, that's my favorite thing.
We're great at parties.
Contact us, freewithads at maximumfund.org.
Freewithads, invite us to your party.
We'll drive as far as San Bernardino to go to your house party.
Ventura, let us know.
Hell yeah.
Shout out to City of Industry.
Ooh, I bet that would be fun.
Yeah.
Or I've been movie after.
Or before.
Anyway, so at this party out by the bonfire,
Keanu Reeves learns about the 50-year storm.
It's this legendary wave out in Australia
that only happens every 50 years.
And these guys are all set to ride this thing
and they don't give a fuck if they die.
They're not even going to live to see 30, they say.
This is the ultimate rush.
Also, they're all under 30?
Okay.
Yeah.
I wonder how old Swayze was here.
But yeah, I wonder if they're supposed to be in their 20s.
Everybody here does look 35.
I think everybody in the past looked older.
No, that's true, though.
Everyone in the past looked older.
So they might actually all be 23.
Yeah, you could be right. And I think Swayze
has always looked like a handsome
50 year old man. Yeah. In like
a great way. Oh, for sure.
But yeah, anyway.
So yeah, we're setting that up.
That's going to come back later.
He and Lori Petty, they smooch.
They do it on the beach. They wake up.
He's like, oh, I'm late.
But then they smooch a bunch more.
This is great.
This is a great, oh, it's the first time we did it, and we don't want to leave.
This is great.
But the thing he's late for is the raid that he planned.
Oh, God.
Again, this is the most disorganized police department. He just runs up like tucking in his shirt and they're about to like kick down the door of this Nazi drug den.
Well, it's also just like, OK, I was thinking about how he's sleeping with the girl who's helping him get in with these people.
I feel like if you're an undercover FBI agent, you would find a way to avoid fucking someone in this situation.
Yeah, especially since it's based on coercion and like an outright lie.
Yes!
You know what I mean?
Like, as a kid.
What a piece of shit!
I remember watching this movie and not really having a thought about him actually sleeping with her.
Upon rewatch as an adult, I'm like, this cop needs to be fired.
Sure.
Oh, 100%.
He needs to be fired.
And it's like, if the thing he needed was a surfing lesson in LA,
there are one million dudes who will give you a surfing lesson.
And he just happened to hang out with this girl who knew the guy.
Yeah, right.
It's all very convenient.
Although, for whatever reason, Keanu, again, never suspects these guys.
So maybe he just doesn't think he's getting in danger anyway.
He's also Keanu.
He's also Keanu Reeves.
And can do whatever he wants.
So Keanu Reeves was 26 years old at the time of the release of this movie.
Patrick Swayze was 38.
He was my age.
Wow.
Oh, my gosh.
And yeah, geez.
I mean, just who looks perfect?
He looks great.
He looks great.
Everybody looks great.
So they're staking out these surf Nazi punk guys.
One of the dudes is just pouring a giant beer on his Cheerios.
I love that.
Yeah, no, I like that too.
So Gary Busey does this thing.
He's like, I'm looking for my dog.
And they know it's a sting immediately.
Shit goes down.
Cops kick down the door.
It's this big shootout.
Everybody's getting shot.
Keanu Reeves comes in through the bathroom.
There is a woman showering.
And she's nude.
And she beats the shit out of him.
Yeah, yeah.
Now,
am I the guy you should come to for feminist theory?
No, absolutely not. No. But
maybe worth saying, maybe this is the
moment where you know why this movie
is maybe a little different because it was directed
by a woman of like
maybe there was a moment where it's like
alright, it's a 90s action movie, we've got to have
some tits in here. Okay.
But she's going to beat the shit out of them.
Yeah.
She's going to beat, yeah.
Anyways, I really like this moment.
I love this whole shootout.
Yeah.
The lawnmower kind of comes back in some fun ways.
We get this kind of jump scare
where a guy turns on a lawnmower,
and then it's the reason that nobody can hear
Keanu Reeves over the radio.
Yeah, that sucked.
I know.
And then later, one of the bad guys is about to push his face into it,
and then Gary Busey shoots the lawnmower before his face gets into it.
Love all the lawnmower stuff.
It was so cool.
Big fan of the lawnmower.
Super scary.
And then before Gary Busey arrests the guy, he says,
Speaking of the microphone, Squidbrain, just a great one-liner.
Gary Busey, he joined the
Bureau just because of his one-liners.
Right, yeah, exactly. He qualified for that.
He aced the one-liner test.
You climb the wall, you shoot the target,
and you say some dumb, confusing shit
when you arrest someone.
Yeah, at some point, at the beginning,
Gary Busey was going through, I guess you have to constantly
go through training to be in the FBI,
and they blindfolded him him and they were like,
you gotta get two bricks from the
bottom of the pool blindfolded. And you were like,
what? I wonder
if that's a real thing. I also wonder
that, I know. I also, can I tell you, because
you're a pool guy. Yeah, love the pool.
My hair is dyed red so I can't
really, I'm trying to find a swim cap
that's cute. Oh yeah. But my favorite
thing in the world to do is dive for change at the bottom of the pool.
Isn't that fun?
That's what my mom would do at the pool when she didn't want to talk to me anymore.
She would just have a bucket of change and throw it, and then I'd go get it and bring it back.
And she'd be like, great, put it in the cup, and then sling it back out.
Wow, you got four bucks.
Yeah.
I love that game.
That's great.
That's all I did was dive for change at the bottom of the pool.
It's like medicating your ADHD child.
I mean-
You just throw some change in a pool.
Can I tell you?
This will work.
Every time I look at a pool, I want to dive for change in it.
Yeah.
Every fucking time.
I loved it.
I just float and see how long I can hold my breath.
That should be-
Oh, flips underwater?
You know how there's like, yeah, and then there's barcades
and there's like, you know,
like adult bumper bowling,
cosmic bowling. Have
fucking adult party change
diving. I love it.
But also, remember when the rubber torpedo
like... Killed a guy?
No, no. Oh, never mind.
The swim toys that were in the pool, it's like
a rubber little torpedo that's heavy.
Oh, they're really fun.
It's like change diving, but it's a bigger target.
But it's really cool because you throw it while you're under the water,
and it's like a torpedo with little fins on the back,
and it goes forever.
So you can throw to your friend at the other end of the pool.
It's super fun.
That sounds fun.
Yeah.
I would love to do that.
And the catch game with the Velcro.
Anyway.
Yeah, that's fun.
Yes.
Great game.
These are all games for children.
These are all fun games.
But also doing as many flips underwater as you can without your belly tickling and you drown.
I love drowning.
Yeah.
Remember drowning
and coming back as a ghost?
Yeah, but you flip underwater
as many times as you can
without coming out.
That's my favorite.
That's great.
A lot of fun games
to play in the pool.
So it turns out,
and this part is just like maddening
if you want to think about
how disorganized
this police department is.
In the surf punk Nazi drug den,
there was a guy who was undercover.
He's like, you fucking ruined my thing.
And then there's this moment where-
Tom Sizemore, by the way.
Oh, is that Tom Sizemore?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So he says, do you think I like this hair?
And he points to his hair.
I'm sure in the script,
it was intended that that guy
would have had a mohawk or something.
And he got this dumb haircut
to infiltrate the gang
they don't do anything
to this guy's hair
he's like
you think I like this hair
and I'm like
this normal hair
change the fucking line
what are you talking about
yeah that needed to be
a different way
regular hair
give him a piercing
on his face
you think I like this nose ring
yes
and it makes sense
or this vest
or anything
literally
glue a ponytail on the guy if
he has to fucking shoot some tiny tail yes anyway that uh drove me a little crazy that drove me a
little crazy too i i was very confused by that but also they say that and again i'm there's no
reason to dig into the logic of point break fair no reason but they say at one point that john
mcginley okayed this
and then he comes to the thing after
and it's like, what are you doing? It's like, you okayed this.
They just said it anyway. He's just a cunt.
I have a feeling, you know that there's
some movies where somebody has a really
good part in it
and you know it's the reason why they got a part
in something else. This was
the reason he got scrubs.
Had to have been.
Just a guy who no matter what you do
it's wrong. Hates your guts.
Yeah, but he's still charming
and you wanna fuck.
Just that guy. There's a lot of those.
I would love to find a way to do a
sting for that, but it's a very niche
thing where you see
somebody who got a part in something.
Did it for his reel.
He's typecast.
Oh yeah there it is. So anyways
this happens. They're in trouble.
There's this moment later where
Gary Busey and Keanu Reeves are like
staking out a bank that they think the guys
are going to head up. Yeah. And one of the
lines that people love from this movie
that I like that they love it
but I've never quite understood why people love it.
Yeah.
Is Gary Busey sends Keanu Reeves to a sandwich stand to get meatball subs.
Oh, my God.
And he's like.
He's so hungry.
I know.
The meatball subs look fucking great.
And then he like as Keanu Reeves is going to get them, he leans out the window and he goes, Utah, give me two.
And people love-
He said two before that.
Right, and he's just saying it again.
And if you watch, there's like special features
for this movie online.
And like, everybody, there's a little moment
where they have the whole cast talk about Gary Busey
and how much they love Gary Busey,
and they all love him.
And everybody goes, gimme two!
Gimme two!
Gimme two!
And I'm like, what?
I like it, but I don't know why give me two became a thing can anyone explain it was i mean i don't i can't
explain it but the enthusiasm for it points to it being a meme in the 90s that everyone liked
totally yeah i mean i know people say give me two and you laugh and sure yeah anyway um maybe it's a fingering thing maybe yeah maybe maybe
it's a possibility fingering story gotta use two gotta use okay give me two never three
maybe one occasionally okay maybe you know this movie a lot of homoerotic subtext. So maybe that's what Gimme Two was.
Gimme Two.
Thanks, Matt.
So, of course, the bank they're staking out, the ex-presidents hit it.
There's a shootout.
They start chasing the guys.
So, you know, they're all in the president's masks.
And so they know it's Keanu Reeves at this point because he starts chasing them.
I know, the eyes, when he's looking in the eyes.
Yeah.
There's a lot of cool stuff in this chase.
They use a gas pump as a flamethrower.
That's really cool.
Fuck yeah.
And this is where one of my favorite things ever be in a movie.
As they're chasing each other, Patrick Swayze throws a dog at Keanu Reeves who grabs it
and then punts it like a football without thinking about it.
It's so crazy.
It's just, yeah, I love all the crazy shit in this.
My favorite thing is that, you know,
BSE and they're like getting their asses handed to them by the Bureau
and they're like, okay, we're going to make this happen.
And then it's so casual in front of the bank.
He's like, I don't know, go get me a sandwich.
It's like, why would you leave the steak out like why this is where the movie as an adult really falls apart like logically everything starts not making sense because right before this
he finally starts putting pieces together oh shit maybe patrick swayze my man bode yeah my man who it
obviously is yeah my man who it obviously is and he gets this because he sees like roach or one of
the other like goons uh pulled down his pants you know and moon and he's like oh that's that's the
ass from the security camera i recognize that ass anywhere whoa well it anywhere. And so then when they're doing the stakeout, clearly he's thinking to himself, it's Bodhi and his boys.
Yeah.
And then everything starts falling apart because you're like, don't they all know that?
Who each other is at that point.
Because he's blowing his cover now.
Yeah.
By him chasing them.
And there's that.
What's the point of being undercover if you're just going to be at every bank as the fbi one day he's going to show up well why are you
hanging out with them anyways then well yeah and just the fact and yeah just like him going to
their house parties and like all the how bad he isn't being undercover also by the way he's using
his actual name that too and and he is a famous person in the world of the movie.
Why did they choose him, the guy everyone knows as a famous football guy?
Well, if you're a famous football guy, you're going to have to use your real name.
Sure.
Because they're going to recognize your face.
I suppose so.
But pick someone else who's not famous to do it.
Can I tell you, because fucking Gary Busey has a villainous face, as we know.
When he was like, I want two meatball subs at 10 in the morning, I went, oh, he's in on this.
Right.
I immediately was like, oh.
What kind of psycho?
Well, yeah, I went, of course Busey is in on this.
Like, of course.
And then he just wasn't.
I was like, what the fuck is this?
No, that's because
you've only seen it
as an adult.
Right.
If you had seen it as a kid,
you would have known
that Debussy would never have any.
Because as a kid,
you'd be like,
listen, when I'm hungry,
I'm hungry.
I can't wait to be grown up
so I can have
two meatball subs at 10.
Can I also tell you
something?
That sometimes
I miss being a kid
and sometimes I'm sad
because I'm getting older and I will die one day.
But I do not miss being a kid because you had to wait to eat.
I know.
I remember being in school and you were dying of hunger and then you had to wait.
It's not eat time.
Shut up.
And you were just looking at this clock forever.
And if you ate in class, you'd get yelled at.
Yeah.
And so I'm just really glad I'm not a kid anymore.
We could eat whenever.
I could eat right now.
I could.
I've got a Slim Jim in my pocket.
I could eat that.
While we're on the subject of everything being weird.
Also, he, okay, so Johnny Utah is from like Montana or something, right?
He said Ohio.
Oh, is it Ohio?
Okay.
I think he's in the real.
It's not Utah.
I think when he he he's about to
reveal his real backstory which he's he's like he says his parents are in colorado right right
so his parents didn't actually die that was a lie that he told to to get into laurie petty's pants
but he is johnny utah he is johnny utah but also i'm just like if you're gonna make a movie about
a guy who has to learn how to surf and like learn how to fit in with people who are surfers,
casting Keanu Reeves is a little bit weird because he already sounds like he knows how to surf.
Right.
And he looks like he knows how to surf.
And he doesn't look like he knows how to play football.
No, nor does he look like a lawyer.
Sure.
nor does he look like a lawyer sure
and if someone like
and I think that like
if the movie
was like thinking
just a little bit harder
yeah
it's like the hair thing
it's like the
do you think I like this hair
right
like if
just like
you can rewrite something
when you cast it
have someone say like
I know we probably
shouldn't use the football guy
but fucking listen to him
yeah listen
he talks just like these dudes exactly you just need a line and it explains everything yeah it to him you know he talks just like these dudes you just
need a line and it explains everything yeah it's so strange and he was just like he's fresh from
bill and ted here so he's like not an action guy yeah he's just like you know that was his thing
yeah anyway uh so they go and bodie's gang goes to like grab keanu reeves uh at his house laurie
petty has found out about it. He just left his-
And she's pissed, as she should be.
She shoots the gun at the pillow to wake him up.
Oh my God.
And yeah, just again, bad policing from this guy.
He just left all his police stuff in the bathroom
and she found it.
Yeah, that's how she fights.
Yeah, I found it in the bathroom.
Oh, that's wonderful.
Terrible policeman, Johnny.
Jesus Christ.
Fuck boy.
And anyway, so then like Bodhi and the gang
come and get him like in the morning
to take him skydiving.
Yeah.
So then it is kind of unclear
how much Keanu Reeves knows at this point.
And I think everyone knows who each other is,
but maybe he doesn't.
But nobody's saying it. But nobody's saying it.
But nobody's saying it.
So I was confused while I was watching this
because I missed the part where she found his shit
in the bathroom.
I thought someone had told her.
No, it's worse.
Yeah, she just finds his wallet.
So I thought someone had told her
and it was Bodhi and them.
They already knew.
And then he's like, come out here and let's go skydiving
even though I know you're an FBI agent
so when I was watching it
the stakes were way higher
and I liked it that way
so I think what they are setting
up is that the gang knows
but Keanu thinks they
don't because maybe he
doesn't even suspect them
I know and that is such a fucking
great moment too. That's an awesome moment.
They like talk about that moment in Hot Fuzz
of like him locking eyes
with Bodhi. He knows it's him and he can't
shoot him. He fucking shoots his gun in the air.
But then that kind of goes out
the window here anyway.
So they go skydiving
and like I
love this part so much.
So this is, so Swayze's actually doing this.
Whoa.
You like follow him, you know, he says like, you know,
via con dias to the camera and jumps out and that's actually him.
And when they show him skydiving, he's doing ballet moves.
So he's doing like, he's pointing his toes.
He's doing all of these spins.
What? And that's just kind of like he's pointing his toes. He's doing all of these spins. And it's that's just kind of like the character is gone.
This is just Patrick Swayze got into skydiving.
It's he's you know, and everybody else is kind of going, well, fuck.
Yeah, it's like fucking God.
Somebody says that.
And the Patrick Swayze is doing these beautiful dances in the air.
It's really like majestic anyway.
Well, it's crazy how it works, too, because, you know, I'm watching it in the air it's really like majestic anyway well it's crazy how it works too because you know i'm watching it in the plane uh you know they're all like talking about like jumping off and whatnot
in my head i can't even pay attention because i'm going do they know did do they know that he knows
does he know that they know and then as soon as they jump i'm like i don't care anymore this is
awesome it's a beautiful air dance we're all made of stars yeah i'm gonna draw
a stoozie on this notebook paper and i yeah and i guess like swayze got so into skydiving and we
just leave the set and go skydiving and like insisted on doing this all himself really cool
um anyway so a bunch of other stuff happens they take laurie petty um they take laurie petty hostage
and force keanu to do a bank robbery with them.
They do the bank robbery.
A bunch of people die.
There is a moment where like Patrick, I'm just like saying things I like about the movie,
but Patrick Swayze like has to shoot someone and they make it very clear he's never fucking
done this before.
Yeah.
It's like a big, it's like, it's like there's so much little stuff in this where I'm like,
this,
like this is so much
more considered
than your average action movie.
Like,
like a great filmmaker
made this movie.
Yeah.
Who would go on
to make some great movies.
And like,
just that thing
of like,
showing you
the pain on his face
from having to kill someone,
which he thought
he would never have to do.
I don't know,
kind of big and like, it is a little better than
movies like this of the time
right well to me
it was like
what if Robin Hood had to deal
with a
good sheriff
yeah
like someone who was
just trying to do their job and stuff,
and then there's two guys who are good guys.
Yeah.
They both have to do what they got to do.
Right.
And what if they also served?
Yeah, what if they also served?
And also kind of wanted to kiss all the time.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, it's kind of a Western, if you think about it.
Yeah, totally.
In a way.
100%.
But, yeah, I think that they're both likable characters.
You like both of them very much.
Maybe more Patrick Swayze than Keanu.
I know, you could so see being in this guy's weird cult gang
or whatever, he gives a little speech at some point,
he's like, we're doing this to inspire people
who are out there in their fucking metal coffins.
Yeah.
And you know, it's like,
but you also bought a giant house with the money
you probably robbed for it. Yeah, metal coffins. But you also bought a giant house with the money you probably robbed for it.
Yeah, metal coffins. I was like,
why do you keep talking about the metal coffins?
Oh yeah, that's the fucking cars we're in
going to our jobs. I'm gonna do a
mahogany type thing. I don't know
who the fuck he thinks he's talking about.
Anyway,
so, you know,
shootout happens. They go to escape
in a plane.
They're going to skydive to safety.
Before they jump out, Patrick Swayze says, Keanu Reeves, I know you want me so bad.
It's like acid in your mouth.
Ew.
Yeah.
I thought he said ass in your mouth.
And then I thought he said ash in your mouth because that's a very Game of Thrones.
It's like your dreams will crumble like ash in your mouth.
So then he said that and I was like,
I guess it's ash.
It's acid in your mouth?
It's acid.
I know you want me so bad.
It's like acid in your mouth.
What the fuck does that mean?
Like the drug?
I think like it hurts your mouth.
But like you want me so bad,
it's like acid in your mouth.
It stings.
It stings.
I don't get it.
I think ass in your mouth is better.
That's the millennial remake of Point Break.
Hashtag ass in your mouth.
Yeah, sure.
Let us know on Twitter.
Let us know.
You want me so bad you want to eat my ass like grocery.
Do it.
And that means space it out between five days in the week.
And freeze it if you can't use it.
Don't let it go.
Don't let my ass go bad in the fridge.
Stick it in the freezer.
You can warm it up later.
What?
That sell-by date is bullshit.
Don't confuse it with expiration.
Right.
Dumpster dive that ass in your mouth.
Dumpster dive that ass.
So Patrick Swayze jumps out.
Keanu Reeves jumps out with no chute and his gun in one hand.
What the fuck?
This is all so physically impossible.
Yeah.
And he speeds up in the air, which how do you do that?
He swims with his arms.
Right.
Or yeah, I guess so.
I guess he can swim in the air.
Yeah.
And he catches Patrick Swayze in the air
and there's a standoff because I guess
whatever the weird logic of this is,
he has to drop his gun to pull the chute.
And so he does it, drops his gun, pulls the chute.
Patrick Swayze says, God damn, you're one radical son of a bitch.
And it's a Mexican.
Well, I don't know if it's a Mexican standoff, but it's a standoff.
In Mexico.
They're in Mexico at this point.
Yeah, technically it is a Mexican standoff because it's like I'm not pulling.
It's a game of chicken.
You know, I'm not pulling the ripcord.
You got to do it.
And Patrick Swayze wins this twice.
Two times.
Right.
He is like, I would, I'm so radical.
I don't even care about dying.
Yeah.
It's so cool.
I love him.
Yeah.
We all love him.
I love him so much.
He was with one woman.
It's like, you know, he was married for a really long time.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I mean, they met when they were both teenagers,
and then they were together till he died.
Oh, my God.
I love him even more.
I love him so much.
We didn't deserve.
Have we gotten a better movie star since?
No.
I don't think so.
Maybe we have.
I wanted him to fall from the sky during the Olympics and not Tom Cruise.
Wouldn't that have been great?
That would have been great.
Wouldn't that have been great?
Anyway.
God, what a fucking filmography on this guy.
Yeah, badass.
Anyway.
So they land.
Lori Petty is there.
They kept their word.
They didn't kill her.
So her and Keanu reunite.
And we're about to get to the thrilling conclusion
of Point Break right after this. we're back it's free with ads we're talking about point break um so it happened Swayze got away
and this starts Keanu on a on a madman's journey to find the man who no one can find,
he chases him all over the world.
Did you write this movie?
I did.
It's called The Man Who No One Can Find.
Find the man.
I'm going to find the man, but no one can find him.
I will find the man who no one can find.
I'm looking for a man.
Have you found him?
No.
Keanu Reeves.
Reeves, one that no one can find. As the man who looks for the man Keanu Reeves. He's one that no one can find.
As the man who looks for the man.
Patrick Swayze is the man who no one can find.
And Laurie Petty as a woman.
Coming soon to a theater near you.
He's a woman.
Coming soon.
Coming soon.
I found him.
I found the man.
But no one, I thought no one could find him.
Yeah, well I did.
What do we call him now?
We gotta find a new name for the man. the man. Oh, fuck. But no one, I thought no one could find him. Yeah, well, I did. What do we call him now? We gotta find a new name for the man.
Found man.
Coming to theaters.
The sequel to the man.
Here I am.
Oh, no, I lost him again.
It's me.
I'm the man that no one could find.
Everybody.
Rock Lobster.
Lobshack.
There's a little lob place where we can find a man!
Anyway, so he finds him on the beach during the fucking 50 year storm.
It's in Australia.
Yeah, duh!
Yeah.
So he's right there where he says he was going to be, about to ride the biggest wave.
Keanu's on the beach.
They're flanked by all these cops.
He's caught.
He knows he's caught.
But Patrick Swayze says, just let me catch one wave.
And Keanu uncuffs him.
He goes out in the water.
He says, via con Dios.
And then we see him kind of wipe out.
Keanu walks away, throws the badge in the ocean.
Keeps that neck real stiff.
Keeps the neck nice and straight.
He assumes the badge went in the ocean.
Yeah.
And that's it.
That's point break.
What you don't see is that Patrick Swayze catches it.
Right.
And then gives it a little kiss.
Gives it a little kiss.
And he says, I'm going to die now.
Bye.
Bye.
We never made another one of these.
There was a bad reboot.
I think the reboot is free with ads
currently.
The reboot's a real fucking bummer.
I can't imagine
watching it.
The reboot just
could not understand
what's fun about this movie.
It's so ignorant to what makes this movie fun.
Anyway, bad movie.
Totally.
So that's Point Break.
Before we rank it on a scale of 1 to 10 super loud commercials,
we're going to talk about the best lines of the movie.
Emily, what do you got?
Okay.
So when they're at that stakeout at the bank,
him and Gary Busey, Keanu Reeves and Gary Busey, right before he's like, I'm hungry, go get me a meatball sub.
It cuts to them at the stakeout.
And this is the first line that you hear Gary Busey say in the car.
This Calvin and Hobbes is funny.
I also love this part.
Yeah, I was like...
It's so great how Gary Busey just laughs out loud at the Sunday comics.
I know, but it's also just like, this is how you know they're going to suck at this steakhouse.
Right.
Because he's just loudly laughing.
It starts with him laughing at Calvin and Hobbes and then makes him go get food for him in an important moment.
I'm sorry, but Gary Busey's character in this movie is
unpredictable. He's too big of a dumbass
to enjoy Calvin and Hobbes the way
he's enjoying it. Calvin and Hobbes
is way more deep. What do you think he would be laughing
at, probably? He would be laughing
at, like, I mean, shit.
Garfield, right? I mean, maybe a Garfield.
I could see him laughing at
a Mary Worth, possibly a family
circus, but not a Calvin and Hobbes.
You think he has the mind for that?
I don't think so.
I do, but I also just, his character is so all over the place and intriguing when you look at it in pieces.
Because when you meet him, he's an asshole kind of grizzled cop or whatever who's still diving for bricks with a blindfold
on.
Yeah, yeah.
But he has this amazing theory that actually leads to it.
That turns out to be right and no one believes him.
But then he wants to sit there and look at Calvin and Hobbes stuff and then get a meatball
sub.
He's all over the place.
I guess that that is Gary Busecey in a nutshell but it's just
the character itself seems like they just went okay we there is i think gary bucey just went
hey can i be looking at calvin i think it was a it was probably a situation of like maybe this
character was written a little more down the middle and when they cast him they're like all
right just let this fucking guy go whatever he let him do whatever he wants. Yeah, pretty much. So my line is actually
a deleted scene from the movie
and this is a real,
I know sometimes we'll do like,
this is a deleted scene
and it's like a bit.
This is not.
This is an actual deleted scene
from Point Break.
I don't believe you yet.
It is.
It totally is.
Okay.
Don't you lie to me.
I would never lie about it.
Unless it was part of the bit me lying,
which it isn't.
So I'm not lying.
So this is John C. McGinley being pissed at Keanu Reeves for surfing on company time.
And I think it is that thing we talk about where it is kind of leaning into what a dude Keanu Reeves is.
And maybe the movie needs a little bit more of this.
But I just really like this scene.
And there's a little Gary Busey tag that I'll talk about after it.
So, Matt, can you play this actual deleted scene?
All right.
You think taxpayers would like it, Utah, if they knew that they were paying a federal
agent to surf and pick up girls?
Babes.
Big one.
The correct term is babes, sir.
This type of undercover operation is entirely dependent on picking up the idiom of the speech.
Otherwise, penetration is impossible, sir.
Of the social infrastructure, I mean.
Anyway, why isn't that in the movie?
He's filled with cum.
He's filled with cum.
He's got so much cum.
I'm coming for the social infrastructure.
Holy shit.
And then they cut to just, in that scene, they cut to a shot of Gary Busey smoking a cigar and throwing a football to
himself.
No,
it's great.
It's awesome.
Um,
I wish they would have left that in there.
That's so fun.
Um,
well,
Hey,
now that we've talked about the best lines in point break,
uh,
or the best deleted scenes in point break,
we're going to rank the movie right after this.
We're back.
It's Free With Ads.
We're going to rank Point Break on a scale of 1 to 10 super loud commercials.
Matt, you go first, and then we'll do Emily, and then I'm coming in high, so I'll finish it out. Okay.
What do you think?
I'm giving this a solid 8 Stussy symbols out of 10 Stussy symbols.
8 cool S's.
Yeah.
No, it is really,
it does hold up.
And every moment in which
I started using my adult brain
to be like,
this doesn't really make any logical sense,
was immediately overtaken
by just some of the coolest action
that I remember as a kid
and I think holds up perfectly.
Emily, what do you think?
Never seen Point Break.
This is kind of cool.
Never seen it.
I'm going to give it a seven.
Okay.
This isn't, like you guys know, the action movie stuff isn't always my bag entirely.
I think I like the hunks, lots of hunks.
What I really like about it that gave it a seven over a six is that I'm not a big fan of Top Gun.
And this came out like four years after Top Gun.
And I feel like this is a much more personality, quirky, cool, driven vibe action movie.
There was a beach football type thing going on.
Better hunks in this, personally.
Not as much Loggins, not as much Kenny Loggins in this movie.
Which the soundtrack was lacking.
We were talking about this earlier.
Not a lot of needle...
Was there any big songs or big hits?
Not really.
There is some pop music that I didn't recognize.
It just came out at such a weird time.
It's not the 80s anymore.
Nirvana's in a couple years, so
uh,
Guns N' Roses rip-off?
We'll put Red Hot Chili Peppers in here,
but we're not using their music?
What's going on?
And it is like, I wonder what these guys
would have been listening to in 1992
in Southern California.
It's certainly not this stuff. I think the Eagles, maybe a little bit of that.
Yeah, maybe if there was more classic rock,
if there was more reggae.
Like, these guys would have known what Black Flag was.
These guys would have known what, like, NWA was.
Ska or some punk would have been appropriate.
Yeah, I know, it would have been.
But I think, like, for a mainstream movie,
like, record companies don't know that stuff exists.
Yeah, yeah.
They're learning that it exists.
Yeah, so I liked it a lot. I thought it was i like the personality driven stuff i loved gary
busy being in here i liked kind of the quirks and everything also we love miss petty we do the babe
the babe the babe um okay so yeah so for me it is a very like It is a 10 from my heart
Not from my head
Again yes
If you're watching this for the first time in 2024
Which head?
The penis head?
Yeah
Owie owie
Sorry
Oh my peepee likes it
Are we a parody of our own podcast at some point?
Yeah
Sure
Just sent in a parody
Have we done 10 of these?
It's just nonsense now.
So,
yeah, I just
love this movie. It's one of my favorites.
I'll always like watching it. And yes,
very plot holes for days,
goofball stuff for days.
But if you love a 90s action movie,
I think this is probably the best one of all time.
And yeah, some great stuff.
And I will also say that I think the free with ads averse kind of saved a movie from this director that I really like.
One of Catherine Bigelow's movies before this is Near Dark.
It is a redneck vampire movie starring Bill Paxton.
Yes, yes, yes.
It was a lost movie for a long time.
Couldn't stream it anywhere.
You couldn't buy a DVD.
I had to go to one of LA's last remaining video stores to rent an old DVD.
But it just started popping up on free with ad services.
And I'm like, hey, this is what this shit's for.
To save cool movies that Netflix can't be bothered with.
So check out Near Dark.
Okay, that's Point Break.
Watch it if you want to.
Let's do some plug-in.ily anything matter anything um the only thing i can think of is uh in november there's going to
