Hell yeah

Oh snap those Dominic twins were in Twinsitters w/ the Barbarian Brothers!

one of my whole family's favorite movie, we watched it A LOT. very excited for this one

Rodgers talking about how rookie mustache wearers talk about their mustaches all time. Proceeds to talk about his mustache for 5 minutes.

When Arnold has the milk mustache you can see on his desk that he poured his milk into a glass

T+57:10 - "So we get some opening credits,"

Glad to see Branscombe Richmond getting so much love recently. Here is a tribute from Massachusetts' all time worst band on their best album, I Like It When You Die: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0NEjqcuGmk

“wait ‘till after the Super Bowl shit-head.” That one got me. Great episode. Later.

Um um Gabrus …..do you think when Crysp is trying to but the toy for 200 dollars, that gave Arnold the idea for jingle all the way

The sister is mentioned in Weird Science. That's why his parents are out of town, he says they're visiting her fiance. 0/everyone find this interesting

As one who posts with my full name, I've never sent an unsolicited DM. But feel free to solicit me!! I have such wonders to show you!!

Richard Portnow at 70 looks better than I did at 25.

I live in Astoria, Queens

Hey all you friendly folks from Astoria are you sure you want to keep telling ABZ listeners what a nice place it is? Is this a demographic you want to encourage?

Astoria, Oregon didn’t suffer much from the wildfires of 2020 but did see some vegetation and trees get sun burn from being so hot during the heat wave in June. I was in Portland and it reached 116 degrees at the peak. I didn’t have ac in my kitchen area and cans of seltzer water exploded. Astoria is a beautiful town to visit. Lots of trees, lots of views of the ocean, and many movie spots.

Astoria is a sleepy sailor town. About 10-12k residents. Tourist town in the summer, extremely dreary and rainy in the winter. Definitely worth taking a weekend in, especially if it's the Fisher Poet's festival. A gathering of salty and weird fishermen spinning yarns. I know a few people who made some good cash making films in Astoria (TMNT 3, Free Willy, etc). You guys were talking about cheap beach towns to check out, Astoria area is definitely one to go to. I have considered retiring or moving there often.

Arnold's beard looks like when Beavis cut his hair off and glued it to his face.

Was reminded of the insane fact that Goldblum and Davis made The Fly before Earth Girls Are Easy. 3 out of 3 ABz found this interesting.

For a bit of my youth I always thought Richard Tyson quit Hollywood to become Raven in ECW/WCW

I’ve now been programmed that anytime I say or hear “what else” I start laughing thinking of the stand up sets of Yoda, Dar or Gwildor.

Never seen a fireman with a pony tail and huge suit

Nice

It used to drive me crazy growing up, but now I find it funny when people pronounce Oregon the wrong way. It has come all the way around.

I probably watched this movie dozens of times as a kid. I was mildly surprised how much I enjoyed it this time around. Arnold is genuinely funny and the kids are really cute.

I LOVE the First Law books so much. Gabrus is my only Logen Ninefingers, Stanger is Jezal, Rodgers is Caul Shivers

Pamela Reed is the best female character actor of the era. The Best of Times, Cadillac Man and Kindergarten Cop are fun weekend TV movies and she's great in all of them. And she did voice work on Ken Burns' Civil War documentary.

“Two Moon Junction” — still a hot Skinemax movie today. I recommend it for Shadow Wolves.

So I took a trip up to Astoria Oregon early this summer. Right as everything was opening and right before the fires. They filmed parts of Kindergarten Cop up there, alomg with the Goonies, Free Willy, Point Break and TMNT 3

As a child, I would have paid anything to get a sandwich from a vending machine like that.

Very excited about this pick! My childhood was completely defined by this movie and The Sandlot. And pants shitting - an incredible amount of pants shitting.

I also remembered his beard as bad ass when watching this as a kid. I was completely waiting to see it again like Rodgers and then he came on the screen in HD and I was like, oh…that’s just glued on hair clippings

Janitor closet locked, lasers in place. I can now listen in peace.

Met Richard Tyson at Qs in Santa Monica in 2009. Since I’m a huge fan of 3 O’Clock High we talked about that and the DP Barry Sonnefeld. The lead in 3 O’clock High Casey Siemaszko is in the Back to the Future trilogy as the 3D glasses wearing guy in Biff’s crew. Anywho Tyson was super super nice.

Holy shit got so excited when I seen this. My life is a mess. Thanks

One of my most memorable theater going experiences as a kid, and not because of the actual movie. This was my family’s Christmas Day movie in 1990. We were about 30 minutes in when an usher came and asked my dad if he could come with him, leaving my brother, mom, and me alone. He was gone for a long ass time and showed back up when Dominic is trying to get the ferret at the end. My mom is all “where have you been?” And my dad says he will tell us after the movie. So we are leaving the theater and he tells us that two teenage girls had told the theater manager that my father was a man that they’d seen on America’s Most Wanted and so they called the cops and he had spent an hour talking to the police while they ran background checks on him. The plus side was we got something like 20 free movie passes as well as some popcorn and drink vouchers out of the whole thing because the theater was so apologetic.

Astoria is amazing, it still has the same coastal village vibe from Goonies and KC. Between this, Short Circuit and Goonies, it was becoming the place for PG-13 movies for awhile.

I realized watching this that all my memories of it are from Cop and a Half.
