Broken Arrow (1996)
We're sad to say that this week's movie was miscast across the board. That's right, BROKEN ARROW is a real lesson in bad casting. Travolta is having some fun as the bad guy and (unintentionally?) switching between dialects but he can't convince us he's a pilot - we just don't buy it. Slater on the other hand had us actually missing the charisma he brought to KUFFS - what the fuck? And Samantha Mathis well... Anyway the Boyz fight through it and find some stuff to love about this movie - hey, they're movie buffs - ain't it cool?

“It so annoying to just exist.”
Hell yeah
You guys gotta do Blind Fury
If the penny goes, so would the nickel. We can't use nickels without the penny. In reference to the nuclear testing and native americans.... "Walk away... Walk away"
There's too much animosity around the penny. We need to bring peace to the penny. A Penny Pax, if you will.
Rodgers: I’m assuming you’re playing sound through an A/V receiver. The delay would be due to the default process of your remote . If u programmed it through software, go to the receivers settings and trim the millisecond delay. If it’s Logitech it should be easy to square away.
Regarding having to do tech support whenever you go home I have a fun example: I went home for my stepdads funeral and had to get his ashes out of the gunsafe because the urn had been accidentally locked in there and nobody could figure out how to open it without the key which we didn't have. Goddamn boomers.
RE: scaring the cows I'm in law school and just last night my professor described a case where the vibrations from demolition traveled to this mink farm and made the mother minks go crazy and kill their young. Just thought I'd let you know.
Stangerbot having a kid is the kind of actionboyz lore development I'm here for
Urinal Advert: If you’re cleaning beneath this you might be interested in The Action Boyz.
The boyz might be remembering Vondie Curtis-Hall from Die Hard 2, he plays one of the henchmen that McClane gets into a shootout with in the baggage area and Bill Sadler's character threatens to execute if he fails him again.
Is this it for American Woo films? Hard Boiled can't be far off.
A perfect way to start to black history month. Great episode.
Is “of mice and men” one of the summer movies?

going hard on aintitcool.
A film so forgettable they reused the Zimmer music in Scream 2.
Another train movie!? Does Nick Wiger pick the films you guys watch? Travolta clearly likes playing these eccentric villains, but he just doesn't have the chops for it. When he exclaims "Lick my Bunghole Motherfucker!" in the Pelham remake, I'm just not convinced that he truly wants analingus.
Very underrated Arnold quote in End of Days ‘You want to fuck with me? You think you know bad, huh? You're a FUCKING CHOIR BOY compared to me! A CHOIR BOY!!!’
I liked End of Days, fittingly named as one of the last decent Arnie films. Gabriel Byrne is having a blast too. “Is this your wife? Is this your daughter?...”
I think it was Entourage which had a Harry Knowles-type getting bribed for a good film review with a couple of women. Clearly an open secret.
I have to say I fucking love Frank Whaley. He has such a great look that sort of felt out of time. Like, had he come of age in the 60's he would have been the biggest fucking movie star. Glad to see him popping up and working still though in stuff like Hustlers.
Career Opportunities for Tarch (Target March)?
This is episode is peak hummer
Terry Carmichael...reminds me of Knight Rider
Damn this movie sucks but Stanger once again showing off how smart he is with the ornithological knowledge. Stanger always goes blue first? Nah, Stanger always goes. . . KNEW first.

Broken Arrow. David Foster Wallace’s favorite movie.
Is this true? It’s tickling some trivia button in the back of my brain, but I don’t feel like doing a google for it.
"Broken Arrow...the movie that asks, 'What if everyone was miscast'?" Hitting the ground RUNNING!
I'm never even movie of this and I heard
I've never even heard of this movie and I'm a movie muff.
I can honestly say for the first time listening to this podcast- I've never even heard of this film.
And I'm a movie buff
