Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)

Was just listening to some back episodes while I build some shelves in my living room. The boyz were talking about America's Funniest Home Videos. My daughter was on an episode maybe 8 years ago. She was being a sassy 5 or 6 year old and then ran out of the room and her dress-up fairy wings got caught on the door striker plate and she slammed into the wall. I got a t-shirt out of it and she got some fun "3 truths and a lie" fodder for drinking games in college.

Hell yeah

I accidentally watched 20 mins of Beverly Hills Cop 3 and the first bit has Axl ring Bogomil and say that he should have gotten with his daughter

That Aunt Diane, swoon, slip and slide riff has me crying laughing

The “jazz rag” bit are the end killed me, so fucking funny

I remember the New Kids cartoon as well. I watched one episode with my sister who was obsessed with them. In the episode I saw, the New Kids took a bet to see what color of car would pass them the most as their tour bus was broken down on the side of the road. One of them was labeled as the ‘rich kid’ and he won the bet because they broke down in a wealthy neighborhood. He knew there would be more red cars because rich people love red cars. This scene has been burned into my memory for the last 25 years and I think about it randomly. Happy to finally find a place to share.

For some reason the Lin Manuel Miranda dig made me laugh the hardest. You got to check out that recently surfaced clip of him in a Holocaust based production of Jesus Christ Superstar. His singing is even worse than that premise.

Hi I am here to clamor for Shakedown. It's basically about defunding the police! I watched it maybe less than a year ago!

I just wish they had played the theme from the first movie in this one. Just once and I would have been satisfied!

I think this ep might take the record for most mispronounced words

“What are you talking about Gabriel, a genie?”

If Bogomil's name started with a different letter, would Dent have insisted they not attempt to kill him until they had committed enough crimes to reach the appropriate letter?

So Tony Scott is pretty clearly the most-covered director on the pod by this point, right? I always liked his stuff that I had seen from the 80s/90s, but this show has really given me a new appreciation for the guy. Just the way he shot the opening heist gave me that warm, fuzzy feeling.
