I can assure you Gabrus, by no metric is reddit "good"
Gibsons performance in this one especially is very Robin Williams
Just think, if the multiverse is true, there’s a universe out there where Robin Williams played Riggs and Mel Gibson played Ms Doubtfire. And they both probably got oscars
So this is where I learned about "cop killers". Bring back memories of sleeping st my aunt's house as a kid. This was one of her VHS tapes, we were Gibson fans. I watched this one a bunch.
Segway! The inventor of the Segway did not die! He sold the company, the new owner died on a Segway. The inventor, Dean Kamen went on to invent other things, including the coke freestyle machine. There is a documentary about it.
Ahem…Today is Nov. 4, 2025. Check the news for this day. https://youtu.be/XU7gnMSzf_c?si=Tk7VuHi4dLLb3AKF
"hated it" sent me. Dying.
Speaking of lighting sets on fire and with Ninjavember upon us, may I recommend Samurai Reincarnation. The final sequence is Sonny Chiba fighting two guys on a very dangerously on fire set.
Yes, I saw that last year, and that whole thing looked massively dangerous, and I’m sure Chiba, and his crazy ass JAE were very pleased with themselves.
I would pay money to have Big John's buddy Barney on the show...
Hell yeah
Right there with Gabrus only remembering this movie for the “cop killers” bullets. This movie grossed $322M. JFC.
Stanger: “What is the plan, Warner Brothers?” Zaslav: “The plan is to get a lot of money—for me.”
Vulnerable question: Anyone else (who uses phone for work) think you have an incoming call when one of the boys takes a pause after a comment? I honestly like when editors leave it in (more like a natural convo). But my social anxiety is activated bc I am so used to hearing their 3 voices overlap.
Can we get the name of the lead free protein on this months shadow wolves?
Serendipity: I’m watching hotel TV right now, and it’s My Cousin Vinny, followed by Lethal Weapon 3!
I remember Entertainment Tonight had a segment covering the opening building explosion. I believe it was shot in Florida. Anyway here’s a clip of Roger possibly at the happiest point of his life in the entire series. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qO1myPRSNEA
Hell yea Beastie Boys Hello Nasty tour in ‘98 at the Coliseum. That was bananas.
My mom used to make big casseroles for our dog instead of kibble and wet food so that she'd lose weight. It was a bunch of ground beef and veggies and turmeric for her joint health. When I moved back home after college I asked my mom to make me a batch of the dog food too but with more seasoning. It was actually super nourishing and helped me stay skinny. My dog got upset when I ate it though cuz she thought I was eating her food since it smelled and looked the same. She was a beagle so she was extra crazy for food. They eat like piranhas
The HBO behind the scenes on LW2 and LW3 is so hilarious, especially LW2, which has cameos by Dan Ackroyd and Chevy Chase. It’s just VHS camcorder skits on the Warner lot. They even incorporate the ROAD HOUSE Mercedes fireball crash into it because they were shooting on the same lot. https://youtu.be/fShkPcqJRxI?si=ELGPn2_EFFN0tpDs
Behind the goal either club level, or right below club level are the best seats for hockey. After those two I’d say center ice 2nd level, and near front row to get the whole view of the rink. It’s the best live sport I’ve ever been to no matter where you sit really. Even the cheapest seats near the back wall of an arena for me are a steal compared to watching it at home, or watching any other sport live.
Is Horny Three Stooges the new high-water mark for improvised comedy?
The Three Stooges grape fruiting each other is a high water mark for all comedy.
Are Boys II Men still playing the same kind of music? I went to a Cyndi Lauper event pre covid and she was doing jazzy kind of music and wouldn't play any of her older stuff
I have a pony tail. If you’re thinking about it, realize you will go through an awkward pre-tail phase that will make people think you’re not capable of making good decisions. On a related note, I’m thinking about making manpig tails a thing.
This comment and the ABZ pony tail talk reminded me of this Kroll Show classic https://youtu.be/lAjs8tS57U0?si=Jawp9rfCCOb7_J5J
Have yall seen that Mel Gibson movie The Beaver? 🦫
No, but it's currently on the Criterion Channel.
Man, not hearing Casey Donahue's name in the credits was such a bummer. I get it, but I wasn't prepared. You are missed, Casey!
...But The Janitors Love Casey More
Believe it or not, my wife is pushing me to a balding ponytail deal. Gonna live out Gabris' dreams.
Very funny that this episode came out right after it was announced Netflix is looking into buying Warner Brothers after Rodgers quoted them that they “ make their own stuff” lol
Cops in Saint Paul still ride around the skyways on Segways. They're phasing in these tactical standing tricycle things now that the Segways are wearing out.
Tactical. Standing. Tricycle.
Love it!! And a shout out too!! Where can I see this Bronson live show?? I'll pay top dollah
Hearing these guys talk about the comedy element explains why "Gone Fishing" happened. And makes me wonder why it did work.
The Three Stooges game is real. https://youtu.be/mGZ0MTzbeSY?si=0Cn07R1t-y3VkLhh
Played it in the 80s on my Commodore Amiga. It was a huge hit at the time!
How many times did Murtaugh yell “RIGGS!”? I lost count at 437.
my kid was gaming in the same room and went 'why does he keep saying Riggs all the time?'
You make me wanna smoke!!!
....WHAT?!
Join my change.org petition to bring back 1 guest per year, as a treat
I think the last time they did that was the Lethal Weapon 2 episode; with a disinterested guest from the other podcast about television Gabrus cohosted.
Thanks for doing this one! Sincerely. Shane Black’s take on this one is great (the mystery starts to uncover while they are doing foot patrol. Implying all the silly incidentals). Yet, the Jan De Bont photography is killer. It’s just not done like this anymore.
Jan and his anamorphic prime lenses and 35mm film. Beautiful lens flares and bokeh. I miss those days of cinematography. RIP Panavision
The best thing that can be said for this sequel is that it isn't Lethal Weapon 4. It's just a sloppy mess that shows how much Shane Black was responsible for the quality of the first two movies. Although Rene Russo was good in it so that's something.
“Cop killers.”
They only said it like 50 times in this movie
