Twister (1996)

This movie was pure brownballs

Hell yeah

"A bunch of big fuckin' smart fuckers fuckin' each other."--Stanger, in regards to Michael Crichton's marriage.

My aunt also didn’t like pee poop lingo so she called farts “corkerbombs”

Cary Elwes comes from a super wealthy family that never uses the term "brown balls" when they have to take a shit, he's probably selective with his projects ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Love Men in Tights…nigga that shit is mad funny

Threedom had a whole Stallone tangent in the new ep where they’re doing Stallone impressions, reminded me of Rodgers talking about that Aukerman podcast they did where he hated the Stallone impressions in a podcast about Rocky 4 ..still haven’t heard it tho, is that supposed to go up on Patreon at some point?

watching Krull for the first time, he looks like if Pratt and Cumberbatch fucked

Citizens On Patrol was Police Academy 4 which was my favorite as a kid. Haven’t revisited the series this century so maybe PA 1 or 2 would be better but sight unseen I’d love for the Boyz to cover 4. Young David Spade plays a skater punk

10000 Maniacs Unplugged was pretty big when I was in high school in the 90s. Wasn’t really into it but if you’re listing the big Unplugged albums that one loomed large in my little universe

Went on the Twister "ride" at Universal Studios Orlando ages ago. Paxton has this bit during the opening where he describes the tornado as a "demon spirit". My friend and I immediately locked onto that and kept referencing for weeks (while doing a terrible Paxton impression).

IVE GOT A LITTLE RESEARCH BUDGET ITS PATHETIC

High concentration of Big Red Dead Sleds here in Texas. So now every time I see one I’m gonna think about how that psycho scared his daughter with stats about a truck she probably rides in sometimes to…. get back at his ex wife or something?

Listened twice. Favorite bits: the cuts made to avoid an R-rating & "If you see the police, Universal".

The height talk was fun. I am always interested in people’s heights for some reason. It’s kinda dumb, in that nobody can control how tall they are. I’m barely 6 foot, but for years thought I was at least 6’1 because my 5’10ish friends would always SAY they were 6 foot. Here’s a question: Would you rather be a Foot taller, or a Foot shorter?

Rodgers said ‘hail’ in his Christian Slater voice and Christian Slater played ‘Hale’ in Broken Arrow. 0/3 ABz found this interesting.

Back when I had an agent she always submitted me for shit I wasnt gonna book. Native American? Im so white Im see thru. Junkie? Im really muscular. Cmon! I was also cut out of a movie. In the David Gordon Greene film Manglehorn we shot this huge action set piece in a bank robbery. I got to act opposite Holly Hunter and Al Pacino. I shot her and he shoots me. The whole thing was cut. Fuck.

I hate to do the “well actually” thing but I gotta defend bubba on the guns angle. Clinton was actually pretty good on gun control. He presided over the 94 assault weapons ban which Bush let end in 2004, and signed executive orders in 98 banning import of more then 50 types of automatic weapons. Only bring it up because he’s such a loyal listener these days

Walking the dog recently, I heard three guys walking and talking and one of them was pointing into a parking lot and saying how he'd read a study that said 22% of Dodge Ram owners have gotten DUIs. There was a pause and then another one of the guys said "I have a Ram. But I drove a Tahoe when I got my dewey." Made me laugh.

Great episode

I shouldn’t admit this but am I the only one that didn’t realize it was Helen hunts character in the opening scene? I’ve seen this movie 20 times and never realized this until the boys pointed it out.

Nice to hear former President Bill Clinton is a fan of the show. Really brings a level of class

The Boyz have talked about owning movie posters as kids and also trying to get cardboard cutout standees and what not. I got the movie poster for Twister after it came out at a Suncoast Video store and it was my pride and joy for years. I thought it was so badass.

Happy to hear that stanger bot is alive and well, I still miss him tho

Wow, I never thought we’d actually hear Rodgers admit to making Stanger stop doing bot/gorgon

Man no "J.O. into the vortex" talk? Bummer

This feels like the first movie where a lot of screentime consists of actors reacting to CGI happenings outside a car. It started with Jurassic Park "must go faster" scene. Now entire Star Wars and Michael Bay movies are just characters screaming and repeating the same thing in the cab of a vehicle while CGI bullshit is hitting the fan around them.

After listening to the episode and spending too much time in the sauna, I'm wondering if there's a more compelling/possibly the original longer plot of Twister where Melissa was the reproductive therapist for Jo and Bill while they were still married and Jo couldn't get pregnant. It might explain Jo's (justifiable) animosity toward the divorce papers and her line "Boy, not much for browsing are you?". Also there's a good chance this was brought up during the episode, hard to pay attention for all 3+ hours. Huge fan, 5 stars, would recommend

Listening to Stanger and Rodgers trying to talk without Jon was so fun

Now I want a Big Red Dead Sled horror franchise. Return of the Big Red Dead Sled Dead Sled 3: Road Rage Dead Sled 4: Vehicular Manslaughter The best part of Caddyshack is hands down Ted Knight. Great episode. Later.

I hope the Boyz give the 13th Warrior a fair shake. It's actually way better than people remember. Definitely in the "we don't know how good we had it" category.

Holy shit, yes! I love this movie, such a 90’s nostalgia trip. Just wish Stanger could hold my hand during the scary parts. I love Stanger so much, he’s big and strong.

Cary Elwes isn't really a leading man, outside of comedy. He probably could have cashed in if he got in the romcom game in the 90's but even still he kinda makes more sense as the other guy smarmy asshole that the lead beats out for the girl or whatever. Like his character in Liar Liar I guess? Havent seen that since I saw it as a kid

Cary Elwes seems super nice. He introduced himself to me on my one day working one on a low budget movie, and i’m an electrician, not hmu or wardrobe

The ending credit song, Respect the Wind, by Van Halen was so good

Love Cary Elwes. Most punchable face of the 90s

Christian Slater saying "hail" and no reference to Broken Arrow?

Rodgers has got to hit the follow button on John Levenstein's twitter. He is one of my favorites on there. The driest of the dry.

What a way to find out I've been mispronouncing Cary Elwes last name since Men in Tights came out.

This movie didn't start my childhood fear of storms, but seeing it in theater didn't help, or maybe it did, idk. I was driving home from trip to Denver 3 years ago in May. Heading east, hearing the radio say "if you're between these mile markers, pull over and seek shelter," which I was. Real nasty shit was slightly north of highway, I was determined to get the fuck out of there so I kept going, looking for funnels. Radio people were me hyping up how crazy this storm was and then the radio broadcast warning sound came on. But when I saw these tricked out SUVs pulled over on my side or going west on highway, then I was like oh shit this storm is the real deal. The storm chasers were out in full force. Cool tires and huge antennas and roll cages and shit, I was really excited to see them but their presence only made my situation scarier.

I agree, Dusty is a cool name. And is very interesting.

Jay-Z Unplugged with the Roots as his backing band was iconic growing up.

Let's try to guess which actor talks like Juno that Rodgers hates based on all the intentional clues he gave us. I'm going 100% it's Donald Glover

I ran into Sam Champion at the gym recently: like many famous people, he has a head the size of a truck tire.

We determined on The Reddit that Dave moved to Baja to bartender after Stanger-Gorgon started working with Eugene.

This ep is so funny I made brown balls in my pants

Shout out to Stanger for bringing up Jodeci. Their take on Stevie Wonder’s “Lately” was one of the best live performances I’ve ever heard.

No love for the Dashboard Confessional MTV Unplugged?

Pearl Jam Unplugged is good but Alice In Chains is great, they had Jar of Flies/Sap practically made for it. Layne Staley’s last gig with them.

Anyone interested in reading my Stangerbot/Dorothy erotic fanfic?

There should be some kind of award for character actors heroically trying to sell shit as lame as the origin story for Paxton's nickname in this.

I hated this movie as a kid. Whenever friends came over to watch a movie, they'd always want Twister. Everyone really loved the cow scene for some reason. Got to a point where I'd just keep The Fifth Element VHS in the twister sleeve.
