Ep 170: Cutaway - SKYtember!
77 Plays19 days ago
Completing the Major League skydiving trilogy, we have the 2000 made-for-TV film CUTAWAY! A hotshot U.S. Customs agent (Tom Berenger) goes undercover in the world of competitive skydiving to bust a ring of drug smugglers. He infiltrates a team led by a thrill-addicted jumper (Stephen Baldwin), learning the ropes — and risks — of high-altitude free-falling. As he gets pulled deeper into their daredevil lifestyle, the line between his mission and his new loyalties starts to blur. It’s crime, adrenaline, and parachutes all tangled together in early-2000s action fashion that definitely isn't just a hodgepodge of Point Break and Drop Zone.

00:01:07
Speaker
Second one. Second one. Two. We did two Sky Timbers. Two. That's how on the video they'll say Sky Timber and then it'll say two and he'll come up and do that. Planning ahead. See, and people think we don't look too far in the future. It's a year away. Yeah. And I'll definitely not forget.
00:01:25
Speaker
I'll definitely won't be dead.
00:01:28
Speaker
So
Future Plans: Sky Timber Theme Continuation
00:01:29
Speaker
this week we are here to complete the Major League Skydiving Trilogy. Yes. with two This was all an accident too, by the way. Yeah. Yeah. We didn't plan it that way.
00:01:40
Speaker
The skydiving part we planned, but the major league alumni? My God. Yeah. This is two thousand s USA Network original cutaway. Ow. So questions and and just general discussion about that.
00:01:53
Speaker
He wasn't in long enough. watched this. Who wasn't in long enough?
00:01:59
Speaker
The rod. The
Discussion on 'Cutaway': Cast and TV Elements
00:02:01
Speaker
rod. I have questions. Yeah, rod's never in enough. So I didn't know this was made-for-TV movie the first time I watched it. Now that I did know that, you see the commercial gaps.
00:02:12
Speaker
But also, how was there nips? There were nips. There was no nips, was there? There was a girl in a bra. Yeah. oh I got fucking straight tits, dude. um um It's when... Oh, you get rid of when comes in. Talking about when... Ripcord are... ahead.
00:02:31
Speaker
Ripcord are under um the parachute, and then there's a naked lady, and Cord's got a camera on his head, and Rip's like... It's when Baldwin coming in. She's wearing nothing but a
Exploring 'Cutaway': Nudity and Character Portrayal
00:02:41
Speaker
thong. Yeah, Baldwin comes in. Oh, you missed that. Yeah.
00:02:44
Speaker
I don't know. I didn't see it. So I was wondering, i was like, did they film it? And then just like for USA, they're like, oh, we got to cut away from that. Yeah, just cut out the quick thing. I mean, there's a lot of almost nudity, too. I got Boom Boom, slow dancing with a stripper. Yeah. And ah I mean, our main girl here, Star, completely naked. i don't think that was Boom Boom. that's That was his number four, which we don't have a name for him.
00:03:08
Speaker
No, that was Boom Boom. Boom Boom was number one. Then it was Rush. Rush. There you Ground Rush. Yep. I know everybody's names and numbers. ah But then also we have Star, the the main, the love interest here, completely naked in bed with a more than fully clothed Stephen Baldwin as if they just had sex and his shoes are still on.
00:03:30
Speaker
Well, yeah, he's got to get ready to run. He's used to fucking other people's women. Do you think his wife was like, you better have four layers of clothing on between you and that woman? I mean, you know, i was looking at his movies and he does mostly do like really Christian shit now.
Stephen Baldwin's Career Shift to Christian Roles
00:03:45
Speaker
So maybe. Well, that's that's he had a big I think it was after Biodome, like almost directly after Biodome, working with Pauly Shore made him go look and find God.
00:03:55
Speaker
ah When did he do threesome? was that Take it from me. I'm going to have a little bit of threesome. What is threesome? You've brought that up before when we've talked about Stephen Baldwin, and we both were like, we don't know what you're talking about. well'll have to I think it's got that one dude in it. ah Stephen Baldwin.
00:04:14
Speaker
Yes, her. And it's it's got a girl and a guy. and another guy. And Stephen Baldwin. And they all share an apartment number three, a dorm. They're in college or whatever.
00:04:27
Speaker
And then he writes some on the side on the door. So threesome. So it's a number three, some. All right. That's the name of the movie. It's from the ninety s This movie is just like, here's some story, kind of like someone kind of thought about a story.
00:04:43
Speaker
And then it's just like 10 minutes of skydiving. And then like, oh, yeah, there was a story. You know what? Skydiving. ah We have a no skydiving. It is the loosest of plot lines. They understand the story because they live that life. So they expect us to understand everything.
00:04:59
Speaker
Which I'm okay with. I much prefer the montages over dialogue. This is directed, well, it's written and directed by Guy Manos. It was written by him and his brother, Greg.
00:05:11
Speaker
And it was directed by him. They wrote Drop Zone. Yeah. Yeah. So this was them going this started and Whitney was like, this is just drop zone. And I was like, well, it makes sense. The guy's like, I got one story.
00:05:24
Speaker
They didn't put enough skydiving in my other one. Let's do our
'Cutaway' Budget and Casting Choices
00:05:27
Speaker
own. Okay. So instead of them skydiving onto a building, they're skydiving cocaine into a party. Very different. Yeah.
00:05:36
Speaker
And we're not stealing anything. We're just doing drug deals. Well, they did us they didn't need us to. They wanted us to like Tom Berenger. And guess what? We do. And we probably would have even if he was kind of a more nasty boy. Nasty boy. Why do you what I call him that? Yeah, nasty boy. don't mean So I don't obviously have a box office game because it's a television movie.
00:05:54
Speaker
But I do have a budget if you guys want to try to guess how much this movie costs. Okay. Ladies first. They did about 490,000 skydives. 54.
00:06:08
Speaker
fifty four 54 million? yeah Yeah. 2048. Nine million dollars this movie cost to make. What? Oh, man. I'm cock of the walk. That is wild. Wow.
00:06:22
Speaker
and Nine million dollars? Dude, I'm surprised you can even get fucking a Baldwin out of bed for nine mil. Fucking their family name actually was Bedwin. What the fuck was Stephen Baldwin doing in 2000? Nothing.
00:06:34
Speaker
They called him and they were like, Tom Berenger's in this movie. And he was like, all right, maybe that'll help my career. Thank God Tom Berenger's in this movie because he's actually bringing ah what I think is a good performance. And maybe we're getting llamas here.
00:06:46
Speaker
No, i think it's I think it's actually pretty good. I think i don't think it's a Llamas thing. I'm trying to think back to the movie now. I'm picturing it my head. No, Berenger always puts us all in it. Because, i mean, Baldwin is, I think, the weakest spot. Everybody else I kind of expect, all these guys that are jumpers, I expect nothing out of them.
00:07:04
Speaker
um So, like, when he gets fucking whatever happens to him later in the movie, he gets a brain injury, question mark, He's playing like this starting to go like senile. He's cutting it away. Well, he's like he goes to the wrong plane and shit.
00:07:18
Speaker
I have a picture. That's why I'm bringing it up. Oh, because he has a brain injury. Yeah. Oh, yeah. If you're watching on video, you can see him, though. Like he's acting. Stephen Baldwin is just like, I think I'm supposed to look sad. Yeah, even the moments where Stephen Baldwin's like, I don't know where I end.
00:07:32
Speaker
And that's called Keanu Reeves. I don't know where I end. And the other guy begins anymore. I'm cutting away. Like, it's just always a flat fart. Oh, for Stephen Baldwin voice, you just do a normal white guy voice, but you go like this.
00:07:45
Speaker
I gotta do a movie. I'm doing movie. I gotta do a movie. I was in my own home. I had dreadlocks.
00:07:53
Speaker
I like skydiving. Look at me go. ah ah it's just so He is so flat. um I do like Star because she is a poor man's Diane Lane. Yes, she is.
00:08:06
Speaker
I kept looking. was like, i know this chick. She's also in nothing else. ah She's in a movie with Lance Henriksen we guns to be watching called Lost Tribe. Looks terrible.
00:08:17
Speaker
Oh, I looked at her IMDB and I was like, all these movie covers look like fake movies and I didn't click. The the the Lost Tribe is one that looked like Predator. Yes. Makes sense that it would be a fake movie. As I kept thumbing, it had Lance Henriksen. was like, whoa.
00:08:32
Speaker
So there wasn't a whole lot of background information about this movie other than that the guys are skydivers. But I did find a thing that said that there is apparently... They can make a hell of movie for nine million.
00:08:43
Speaker
There's apparently a real world drinking game in the skydiving community that involves taking shots every time a character in this movie uses the phrase cut away. Oh, you're going to be drunk. You're going to be dead if you're doing I think i miss I probably missed some, but I got 14.
Plot Setup: Stephen Baldwin as Undercover Agent
00:09:00
Speaker
Yeah. I should have counted. I can't do 14 shots after I've drank 10 gins. 14 shots in 104 minutes. that sounds like a That sounds like you're going to poop yourself at some point.
00:09:12
Speaker
The guys from Dropzone going to come put shit in your underwear. We get the name Drop Zone popped in here too. They did say Drop Zone quite a few times. Yeah.
00:09:24
Speaker
yeah It's theirs. They almost said terminal velocity too. they Well, but luckily it would have been vertical terminosity. True, true.
00:09:33
Speaker
Keep in mind when we talk about this, because i didn't we didn't think about this, we are going to, at the end for our final episode of Sky Timber, kind of stack these up against each other. Yeah. And I think maybe as movies instead of as skydiving movies, that makes sense because our final one is not much of a skydiving movie.
00:09:53
Speaker
No, it does have at least one skydiving scene. We ran out of movies because there was five Mondays. Yeah. Could have done Demo Drop. oh we've We got one. oh We got one that pairs well with this movie because we're going to have a Rodman double feature.
00:10:10
Speaker
Only problem is nobody from Major League is in it that I can think of. Let me look into it. What's his name? Mickey Rourke. Was he at any of the Major Leagues? No. No.
00:10:21
Speaker
All right. Well, then, no, we got nobody. What about the guy from Hot Fuzz? Nick Frost? No, the priest guy. He's been in other stuff we talked about. Indiana Jones. Yeah, he was in Indiana Jones and stuff. yeah I don't think that he's in the major leagues.
00:10:36
Speaker
Major League Four, back to high school. There's only been three. There's only been three, and the third one's a banger. If you have a bad movie podcast. So this one starts out with this awful 90s computer shit of like...
00:10:50
Speaker
It's just tippy-tapping away. to give us To give us this information up front that they turn around and give us again in the immediate scene following it. It's just showing how many aliases he has, how most people don't want him to go back undercover. Also, lest we forget, I think we're about to find out, he's a customs agent.
00:11:08
Speaker
Yes, U.S. Customs. This whole movie seems like he should be DEA, ATF, FBI, yeah any TLA. You are a U.S. s you You don't even have a fucking three-letter acronym, pal.
00:11:21
Speaker
and don't know I know you're gonna run in and yell US s Customs Investigation Agency Fuck we need a shorter thing guys US CIA Nope can't do US CIA Uh uh But yes, it's Vic Cooper that we're looking at the computer profile of who's played by Stephen Baldwin, who we will talk about again because he's in Flintstones Viva Rock Vegas.
00:11:43
Speaker
Viva Rock Vegas. Sorry. I also forgot until I looked at his IMDb that he was ah the MacGyver smoker in Half Baked. Oh, yeah. i just I haven't seen that movie in so long. I read that, and I was like, holy shit, he was. I believe it's right around Biodome time, because I believe he has those
Baldwin's Disguise and Plot Role
00:12:01
Speaker
little locks.
00:12:01
Speaker
Yeah, I think it's he probably just walked away from Biodome and went and did that cameo, and then came i could do your cameo. ah We'll have to talk about Biodome at some point, because as much as I really do enjoy that movie, it is bad. It is made in Arizona.
00:12:15
Speaker
And there we go. And it does rule. It does rule, but it is bad. That's what we do. Yeah. So look forward to February of next year. I always do.
00:12:26
Speaker
It's ah so it's Vic Cooper and his boss, Lieutenant Brian Margate, actor, activist Ron Silva. He's a he's a welcome back, right?
00:12:37
Speaker
think we just talked about him. Oh, he had to be in something. I know we have time. cop No, the only things I really recognize that are movies that like would be here is like Time Cop and The Arrival.
00:12:49
Speaker
Huh. You know what? Let's see if maybe not. Let's see if the the Internet knows. Letterboxd would know. I typed in actor activist Ron Silva and nothing came up. No, I'm just kidding. ah He was a good activist, by the way. No, but we did watch Ali together and he's in that.
00:13:07
Speaker
Why? Maybe that's what I'm saying. now Because that's what it's it's just it's a a joke from another podcast, but it's 100% true. He's not just an actor. He's an activist and he had been he's rest in pictures, by the way. Yeah, he was just surprisingly one of the like, not surprisingly, but like he was one of the good ones.
00:13:24
Speaker
Yeah, he was he was a yeah political activist when it was a big thing. Yeah. Oh, I don't know the other podcast Jack got it from. I just know every time Ron Silver comes up, which is a strange amount of times, he says actor activist Ron Silver. Now I have to say it, too. Yeah, it's just what happens.
00:13:42
Speaker
I think he should be recognized. Like if it was like ah actor skateboarder, I would say that, too. Actor skydiver, ah Mike Jeter. okay Oh, well, speaking of actor skydiver, I think most of the stunts in this, I mean, obviously they're using stunt people for the crazy shit, but sure we see Stephen Baldwin, Tom Berenger, Dennis Rodman.
00:14:05
Speaker
Well, dude, are you going fake Dennis Rodman? We're running into the same thing with Shaquille O'Neal at a smaller scale. But we see all of them. I mean, they had to have faked him when he was doing the plummeting thing. Either that they just used a dummy.
00:14:17
Speaker
Well, we don't know how big he is. like we we just we We need to have a big person when there's other people around him. When he's just doing the swoops down, ah you could have him. yeah You don't know how big something is in the sky. does look like he has eight and a half foot arms while he's falling. but like Well, he does. do You see these guys actually skydiving in this movie. like It's not like the other ones. We do get the low angle, green screen, close-up thing. Sure, that's so they can talk. But we see that. we I saw...
00:14:44
Speaker
Stephen Baldwin's cheeks s flapping back in the wind. Like, and that's not, I mean, they did it in the wind tunnel and they could do that, but also it didn't look like the horizon of the earth. Like,
00:14:57
Speaker
Yeah. And we can see their faces. So it's pretty impressive for that. The USA original programming has more actual like famous people skydiving than drop zone or terminal velocity combined. Famous is is on the lower end of famous. We love them.
00:15:15
Speaker
You're talking to a person that has owned multiple Dennis Rodman movies um on multiple mediums. But we know once it went from VHS. I didn't get that. I didn't say movie stars. I said famous.
00:15:27
Speaker
If you say Dennis Rodman, everybody knows who you're talking about. If you say Tom Barringer, most people know you're about. If you Tom Barringer, anybody over 40 knows who you're talking about. There you go. There's the caveat I needed. But this came out in 2000, which was 25 years ago. So it was only people over 20. You're good to go. That's true. I think that's how you get this $9 million dollar budget. Like, all right, we're doing casting. You're good, but are you willing to actually skydive? No?
00:15:51
Speaker
Bring on the next one. Yeah. But basically the thing here is they're trying to bust these people for bringing in drugs, I guess, because they didn't go through customs. um But they want their piece. It seems like a DEA job. But either way, right ah or almost anybody else, Derek, he's like, DEA thinks they're going to get this case, but it's going to be ours.
00:16:12
Speaker
He just wants that he wants customs to be cooler, but he couldn't he couldn't get it. He tried to get a job for the DEA and they were like, no, thank you. No, you're a wild man. We don't need you. Yeah, you're going doing the drugs, not enforcing them. But like they bust this plane and there's no drugs on the plane.
00:16:28
Speaker
Just a attractive woman who gets stripped to and down to her skivvies for no reason I can detect other than. think we know why.
00:16:39
Speaker
Mr. Ussa himself got on there with his big cigar was like, we got to see boobs. We got to see nips. Sir, this is going to be on your USA network, Mr. Ussa. All right, get as close as you can to nips.
00:16:50
Speaker
Put her a bra and ice her nips up. Let's go. Yep. I mean, this girl is flying this plane. She's like a drug pilot. She shows up later in the movie, too. But she's flying this plane. She's got her, like, jumpsuit.
00:17:01
Speaker
Sure. Yeah. but She was like, I'm going to go fly a plane for a drug deal today. I'm going to put on
Skydiving Scenes: Comedy and Interaction
00:17:06
Speaker
the sexiest lingerie I can find at my house. It was just white matching. This is not her sexiest. This was like they had like the the fucking like, i don't know. There was like lacy shit and strappy shit. It wasn't just like normal. I don't wear enough sexy things for you.
00:17:19
Speaker
This is not what a person wears when they're going to work. This is what they wear when they're going out. And if it is, sometimes if it is you usually have a layer over it. It is something you wear when you're going to work. If you work at a place where you spend a lot of your time hanging off of a metal pole, you don't know what it's like to be a woman.
00:17:36
Speaker
Wait, you're saying she's welding skyscrapers in New York. so Sometimes I would like to wear something pretty. So I feel pretty. And then that makes me a happier bartender.
00:17:48
Speaker
I've actually heard that from multiple women too. um You dress for yourself. One them being Carla from Scrubs. Sometimes I just need to feel good about myself and wearing this thong makes me feel good about myself. I don't know. It just seems weird to me. Sexy women wear sexy underwear all the It's the matching thing. It's like it's super lacy. This is something you wear when you know someone's going to be taking it off.
00:18:07
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. If a girl has matching underwear and bra, she planned on having being seen naked. This is her racket. This is her racket. She's like, if I get fucking frisked, someone's going to get a boner, and then I'm getting out of jail. But she knew that, she also knew that it was coming it was coming any day now. So, yeah, she planned on. Well, you saw what she was wearing. It was definitely coming any day now. Oh, it's coming any minute now. Let's talk about Stefan Baldwin's ridiculous disguise.
00:18:34
Speaker
Ridiculous. This fucking beard. Do you have a shot of it or no? No, it's so hard to find pictures from this movie. It's a glued on, of course. It's a glued on beard goatee. It's merkin, dude. No must, it's a merkin. He went down on somebody with a merkin, came up, and he's like, I gotta get to set. Film.
00:18:52
Speaker
That's it. If you guys are interested, go find our post about the episode. That'll be on Facebook or Instagram because I'm going to have to take screenshots from the movie because I could literally only find like four pictures on the Internet from this movie that weren't in VHS quality.
00:19:06
Speaker
But yeah, it's it's I bring it up because she me way down the line at the end of this movie, she sees him, she looks back, and Behringer's like, yeah, he's my number seven. And she's like, all right, whatever.
00:19:18
Speaker
not That's that weird looking grungy dude from the beginning of the movie that had a ridiculous mercantile glued to his chin. Yep. Yeah, well, she's you know maybe she's not very smart. Skydiving break.
00:19:30
Speaker
Skydiving break. We'll be right back. It's been 10 minutes, guys. We have to have a skydiving sequence. So that going is that going to commercial? Is that what you saw? i Maybe. I don't know. It just felt like it was like in the movie, they're like in the middle of something important, and then it's just like skydiving.
00:19:44
Speaker
Yep. have commercials? They were just like, been 10 minutes, guys. No, we didn't have. We watched it not with ads. Oh, OK, because it's on Prime. Oh, and it yeah said available with commercials, but I didn't get one. So I'm wondering if I bought this.
00:19:59
Speaker
You didn't get a start or a finisher? you might have bought it because I had to start over. i might go buy it because i I don't remember if I said last week and I wrote it down so I could say it this week and I forgot at the beginning.
00:20:10
Speaker
But this is on Prime with ads, um only with ads, which is the reason I won't i refuse to subscribe to the ad-free Prime, because they have certain movies that still have ads. Fuck that shit. That's because it's on those fucking freebie channels or Tubi. No, this is ah straight up on Prime, but only with ads. Not freebie or whatever.
00:20:29
Speaker
Sometimes it's through those channels. like i know it's I know it's still on Prime, but it's like it's it's that they have the rights to it. I don't know. didn't get commercial. It's also on Starz, but only on Apple.
00:20:41
Speaker
So if you have Apple and you have stars, there you go. But you can rent it for four or buy it for six. So I think you might own it because you buy it for six. For that price, I bet you I do. Yes, you would have. I'm going to buy it. This movie was a fucking hoot.
00:20:55
Speaker
Sky Timber is such a fun time of the year. Definitely had fun this month, guys. Thanks.
Skydiving Stunts and Plot Advancement
00:21:00
Speaker
I will be looking forward to, because, you know, we record early. I'll be looking forward to August from now on because of Sky Timber.
00:21:07
Speaker
ah Thank you. Thank you, Tom Berger, for giving me a reason to live. All I got to do is get through these kids' movies, and then I can watch people jump out of planes a month. man, now I don't look forward to July.
00:21:19
Speaker
i mean, that's always been your thing. That's true. We live in Arizona. No one here looks forward to July, dude. Well, then also. Yeah, i know. yeah Everyone knows it's my birthday.
00:21:30
Speaker
It's his ah anniversary of Georgia, the jungle for it's. Yeah, exactly. um But anyway, like, yeah, they they bust this thing. There's actually shrimp in it. He's in trouble.
00:21:41
Speaker
IA is going to investigate him because he's the one who told them that this was the plane and they think he tipped off the pilot something something. Yeah. So we cut to him. he her handprints on her butt.
00:21:54
Speaker
We get to him hanging out and these little kids come running up to him and they're like, help Joe. He's stuck on the roof. And I told Whitney immediately. I was like, it's a cat or some stupid because he starts parkouring up the side of this building. like We're watching fucking missing in action again. Right.
00:22:08
Speaker
yeah Definitely better than missing missing in action. You want to give this an extra star? yeah You put a rocket launcher fight in the sky while they're fucking parachuting. that No one's done that in Sky Timber yet. no one has done that where it's like fucking ah gunfight in the middle of the sky. Get some balls.
00:22:28
Speaker
Or sword fight. There's gotta be. No, there was, he in and Terminal Velocity, right? Yeah, Chris McDonald was shooting at him, but there wasn't like a gunfight. I'm thinking like just them falling together and just like oh bit exchanging blows.
00:22:43
Speaker
Point break where Keanu has the gun and oh that's true. Bodhi's like, we've got to drop the gun or pull. But again, he's not firing. We need people firing. I need a Matrix style gunfight.
00:22:54
Speaker
Well, we have fireworks and that's close to. that's I don't know why you are defending this, but he gets up to the roof and it turns out Joe isn't a person or a cat.
00:23:07
Speaker
Joe is a parachute army man. He gets up there, it's a parachute toy, he throws it down to the kids, and then we have voiceover in his head of him saying, that was the last plane out, I was there, I saw it loaded myself.
00:23:21
Speaker
And it's like the eure eureka moment. It's so dumb because, I mean, obviously we know it's a skydiving skydiving movie, but even if we don't, he kinda like spells it out. He's like, it was there, and then it wasn't, this is the last stop, they couldn't have just disappeared, like, well, yeah.
00:23:35
Speaker
They can. 100% they can. And I thought it was going be even dumber where he was going sipping his little coffee and then watching somebody skydive in the beach and just be like, whoa.
00:23:45
Speaker
You thought that would be dumber? That feels less dumb than making him parkour up to a roof to throw some kids their GI Joe. to No, because at least he has a chance of falling. Well, it's also our first skydiving stunt of the movie. Ooh, big facts. I lost the cap to this, Jen, so I think we have to finish it now. ah Do you need assistance?
00:24:05
Speaker
I'm like, So he goes to this drop zone called fly boys. He's looking up at these people skydiving. It's obviously not all happening at that moment, but he's looking around at people doing all these different like crazy skydiving stunts like, you know, different kinds of dives and whatever they do. Somebody had a skyboard all of ah Power Rangers. Yeah.
00:24:27
Speaker
But I was like, there is no way all of these people are skydiving at the same time because it's not like there. It's not like the star that we get in this movie throughout the whole thing. These are all independent people. It's like, how did you put seven planes up and you're just like, all right, everybody crisscross and don't hit each other. I mean, you go you know what you're doing, right? Okay, cool.
00:24:45
Speaker
but You can have seven, like, what would would just say? Nine people jumping on that sky bus. Yeah. Yeah. But these are all, I don't know. It's just so, I guess it's just the way it's shot because they're very clearly different groups. so it's like, it's weird.
00:24:59
Speaker
And also only one of them ever lands. So I guess the rest of those people are in limbo forever. They hit a tornado and they're just stuck up there forever. Just waiting to fucking die.
Romantic Subplot: Star and Baldwin
00:25:08
Speaker
Skydiver. Oh, another skydiver. I think that's the same one. We have some debris. Debris.
00:25:15
Speaker
ah There's that couple with that little family sitting there like trying to judge who he is. Lawyer, chef. Lawyer? No, I'm thinking i'm thinking ah child services.
00:25:28
Speaker
oh yeah. No, I think. No, he's. What's the daughter say? I think he's health department, dude. Yeah. else of perfect Yeah. And then he's all yeah. Wolf. Oh, Wolf. Oh, yeah. Because he's all shocked by the skydivers, which we find out. Walked into a propeller. This movie is almost fucking over as soon as it starts. Like, yeah. Whoa, look at the. black We find out that's a skydiving virgin, a Wolf. Oh,
00:25:49
Speaker
Yeah. Because what foe you jump out that plane for or something. It's dumb. It's dumb and racist. So that's fun. Yeah. They could have like they could at least made an acronym like why the hell you falling outside?
00:26:05
Speaker
But we meet star, our love interest, played by Maxine Bonds, who but was apparently in a movie with Lance Henriksen. Yeah, that's about does for me in this, though. Oh, she's a cutie. She's cute. She she does her acting. as button.
00:26:20
Speaker
She looks like she doesn't shower, doesn't smell too bad doing it. Right. Oh, these people don't shower. They all live in this drop zone. Yeah. you do You just fucking in. didn't one shower scene.
00:26:31
Speaker
No, because you just go into the lake. ah good. Fresh as a daisy. They air bathe, much like Benjamin Franklin used to. But this fucking guy is supposed to be this expert undercover agent. This is his 50th undercover mission. He's got a thousand aliases, whatever. Hold on. Didn't say he's an expert. Just says he does it a lot.
00:26:49
Speaker
she asks what do you do he says i'm in computers and sales and internet stuff stuff internet stuff it was the beginning of the internet convincing it was the beginning of the internet but still the dot-com boom was already almost ending like we were about to everything was collapsing at this point all those dot-com stocks and all that stuff and he's like i do internet i'm Yeah, Derek's delivery was more convincing than his because he's like what what do you do? i don't know.
00:27:16
Speaker
Sales? Computers? Internet stuff? i Stop asking me questions. so and Show me your boobs. I'm Baldwin. I know. He tries to kiss her so many times. They are already trying to fuck.
00:27:30
Speaker
She's as horny as him, too, because she's like, well, what am I going to? at first To a degree. Because she's like, dude, what are we going to do? ah You're going to strapped to me like this. Fetish unlocked.
00:27:42
Speaker
um And he has a problem because he's he's used to being in control. So am I. Do you think she flipped and was like, well, I'll take the other person because she was he was asking about the pilot?
00:27:53
Speaker
yeah Because we see the pilot. That's what I was thinking. She gets all butt hurt. Yeah, because he's she's flirting with him, as we said. he sees a picture of the blonde and he's like, who's that? And then she pawns him off on...
00:28:04
Speaker
Rush, yeah, ground rush, according to the credits. I mean this with love. Like, she's the the other chick, the pilot, of like a bimbo girl. You know what i mean? Like, she's got the big fake boobs. She's a rock-hard body. She's got the pink in her hair.
00:28:18
Speaker
So this chick, Star, who's supposed to be much more of a plain Jane down-to-earth, I-wake-up-looking-this-cute kind of girl, It's like, i've lost I'm the nice girl. I've lost guys to her before. So no, we're done.
00:28:28
Speaker
The fact that you're looking over at her asking who she is while I'm talking about being strapped to you. Yeah. go fuck yourself. Yeah. Strap yourself on. Yeah. Bad timing. You know what? You're going to go up for this jump.
00:28:39
Speaker
Ask when you get back down. Yeah. But by the time they get back down, they're in love. So yeah okay. um Because he paid off some old lady. We also we see you we in the background, we see him land, I think.
00:28:53
Speaker
ah Or he's just fucking with a shoot. But it's Randy Turbo Kingston, played by Dennis Rodman. Ow! Who we'll be seeing again next week. Yep.
00:29:04
Speaker
And at least one other time. and then I think we're out of movies. Yeah. He didn't do very many, did he? He did Simon Says. Yeah. And then there's another one that he did that cannot remember. was scrolling through his stuff and I saw other things, but every almost every one of them, he is Dennis Rodman.
00:29:23
Speaker
So I think it's like cameo shit. I own two movies of his. Two of them. One with Simon Says. Two of them. Simon Says double team in this and I don't know There was another one that was like It's very much like Simon Says It's probably the exact same plot Different Dan Cook role So they go up for the jump You could have put Dan Cook in this role Hey, let me why are we jumping at a perfectly good airplane?
00:29:50
Speaker
Is there any 16 year olds down there? Actually, before we go up for the jump, we also meet Tom Berenger because he just comes fucking bombing into this fucking who drop zone and almost takes out Stephen Baldwin. Yeah.
00:30:03
Speaker
What the hell was that? Close up ah because he's holding a bottle of water and he dives and throws the water in the air. And it's like a close up of the bottle of water. but it never lands, it doesn't hit anybody.
00:30:14
Speaker
Yeah, no, Behringer has Yeah, Behringer has it. Oh, does he? Behringer has Oh, okay, didn't see that. That's why, because Baldwin's looking around for Thanks the refreshments whatever. Yeah, he's like, enough of the refreshments, let's get to work. Oh, I thought he was just like, fuck you guys, you're standing around, let's get back up there.
00:30:28
Speaker
To a degree, but he's also like, thanks for the water, bitch. Oh,
Character Interactions: Ron Silver and Stephen Baldwin
00:30:32
Speaker
okay. You fucking wolf-o. it's Okay.
00:30:36
Speaker
um So, yeah, they jump on. We find out that Tom Berenger, red line, is the and he's the know it all. He's telling the pilot how to what degrees to took to put the plane at. He's telling Rush five, not 15. Put it back.
00:30:49
Speaker
They're not rush. This is boom, boom on the camera. Right. He's telling boom, boom, like, oh, use this aperture instead of that because the sun's going down. And you know who he is. Sorry. The character is discount Bodhi.
00:31:01
Speaker
No, um red line. Oh, yeah Because he's just he's like, i see the line. I see. i I see all the lines. Actually, I see your filming line. I see your jump line. I see your flight line. I mean, in more than one way. From the from the newer point break. Not.
00:31:15
Speaker
Yes. Yes. I'm sorry. The newer. Oh, I was even thinking from the original because I have that in my notes later. But like the whole I mean, the reveal the reveal is that he knows about the the the drug smuggling.
00:31:28
Speaker
Yeah. But the whole time, Stephen Baldwin's like, no, no, it can't be him. It's this other guy. It's very much the point break thing, except for it goes for the whole movie instead of for 10 minutes when he's like, it's the Nazis. And then they bust the Nazis.
00:31:40
Speaker
I think I was focusing too much on the word line because that's like that was the, you know, the point break second one. Like, I see a line. There's a moment in this where they're talking about how he can jump out of the plane faster than anybody else because he doesn't need to see.
00:31:54
Speaker
He just gets that he feels it. Does that make sense? I get almost supernatural because everybody else that does it needs to see a trajectory. Go ahead, Whitney. um Because you can feel the air movement differently. I'm sure he's just picking up on everybody's vibrations.
00:32:08
Speaker
It's kind of like a bird. He is much like a bird. Tom Burdinger. Tom Burdinger. Man, I got to get me a bird and name him Tom Burdinger real quick. We'll right back. Going parrot shopping.
00:32:21
Speaker
Steven Baldwin pays off this old lady who's going skydiving with them so that he can switch and jump with Star. And Star doesn't really notice. She's like, all right, ma'am, let's check your make sure you can test your bladder control or some other statement old think it's just more like because...
00:32:37
Speaker
ah Rush is the other instructor And he takes the old lady And he just kind of laughs And he's like okay Because he knows what's going on And he takes So he's already going with her He's got her strapped in So she comes up And she's just like Okay ma'am Like she's just like You want to be You want to be Mrs. Silovitz or whatever That you can be I think it was Mrs. Shipley I think it said in the credits Oh Shipley's good Shipley's good But they they do the jump It's ah the thing from our opening video of Stephen Baldwin screaming and flipping.
00:33:10
Speaker
Real stunts, man. Real stunts. When they get down, i don't know, five and a half hours later or however long this because it feels like it takes them for she pulls early, I guess, so they can because it's I guess you got the new people you're showing them. Look at all the beautiful.
00:33:22
Speaker
Absolutely. And he's got, there's a fun back and forth. She's like, it's great up here. You can see everything. But the line that gets me in a good way, she's like, isn't that like sex? He's like, if it is, I've been doing it wrong.
00:33:34
Speaker
Like, fuck, dude, this is the most fun I've ever had. And I've had a lot of really weird sex. Trust me I'm a recovering Catholic. But like I like as they're going down, they're already the chutes already open.
00:33:47
Speaker
And that's when Tom Barringer just goes fucking zipping by on his little skyboard because that's his thing. Hence, red line. He goes as fast as he possibly can until the last second and then pulls his chute.
Skydiving Training Montage: Humor and Development
00:33:59
Speaker
He's afraid to die, but he's more afraid of somebody going faster. Yep. We learned that they land on the beach and they almost kiss Rodman and Rush and all the others pull up.
00:34:10
Speaker
No words from Rodman yet. Just a no. He just has mostly this movie. Rodman's performance is much like the picture. I have much like Steven. That's Rodman's performance. It's just a disapproving look.
00:34:21
Speaker
Yeah. Even on the poster, he is disapprovingly looking at Steven Baldwin. What year is double team? Ninety seven. Oh, so he regressed because this is him not being he's never been a phenomenal actor, mind you, but he's better in double team than he is in this.
00:34:39
Speaker
Maybe he was doing less drugs. This is after the heyday. Yeah. That's true. And he was actually skydiving in this one. So maybe he was sober.
00:34:51
Speaker
He seems like someone that would enjoy skydiving. Exactly. I guarantee you this isn't the first time he's done it. He skydived in a basketball. I saw it. I also guarantee you that he brings his own wardrobe, but a mesh fucking tank top and a black snakeskin cowboy hat. They didn't have that in wardrobe. Oh, andless like exactly. Just like double team. he's run Those are his clothes.
00:35:10
Speaker
They just got like fucking chain mail over a mesh shirt with like a a fucking cowboy hat on. I'm like, what is happening? I immediately whatever he wants to wanted this outfit.
00:35:22
Speaker
for sure if I had the body to wear this, dude. That's all I would wear. You have the body to wear anything you want. Thank you, but no. Body positivity, bitch. I'm body neutral.
00:35:33
Speaker
So Ron Silver sends Stephen Baldwin off to learn. Talking about actor-activist? Yeah. To learn about skydiving from Delmyra, who I'm assuming, or Delmyra, who I'm assuming is the one you told me not to look this up.
00:35:46
Speaker
Correct. Who is Casper Van Dien. yes i thought that would be a fun surprise. Well, it's funny. So I didn't do the actors before we watched. I did i looked up IMDb after. um but i was watching the opening credits of course and like i saw ron silver and i was like oh maybe that's the one because all i knew was the three that are on the poster right so was like oh maybe that's the one jack was telling me not to look about and then i saw thomas e and nicholas and i was like i hope that's not the one jack told me i'd be happy about who could possibly care and then and at the end i was like it's the rookie
00:36:18
Speaker
at the end with the fucking hammer and Casper Van Dean. And i was like, oh that's the one. I pulled a Whitney the first time watching it and didn't see any credits. So all these faces popping up were like, whoa, is that Stephen Baldwin?
00:36:32
Speaker
This is the first time Whitney's ever read the credits because it started and she was like, who the fuck is Ron Silver?
00:36:40
Speaker
Well, you might know him from his acting, but you might also know him from his activisting. Activisting. Well, we know I'm a huge activist. But Castro and Dean, ah the star of Starship Troopers to this, which is one of my favorite movies, even though it's not great, but it's awesome.
00:36:57
Speaker
it's It is great. It is great. He's also wrong about that one. He's also in Alita Battle Angel. He's one of the like oh mutant people that has like the but not mutants. What the has like the board, the cyborg shit. Yeah.
00:37:11
Speaker
They went full General Grievous. Yeah. um He's got like a... You can set again i see him. He's like shirtless. He's got like a thing in his eye like he's in Boba Fett. Boba Fett?
00:37:21
Speaker
Yeah, you know. Book of Boba Fett. um Apparently he's also in 114 other movies. I was like, whoa. I knew he was in two. many of them are theaters?
00:37:33
Speaker
One. I don't know. Starship Troopers. And Alita Battle Angel. Oh, that's what you mean by theaters. I was like, Broadway acting?
00:37:45
Speaker
I would love to see a Starship Troopers the musical. The bugs are attacking. My friends are fucking fracking.
00:37:53
Speaker
Whoever's playing Neil Patrick Harris is like, I have to stick something in this bug's vagina mouth. You mean Neil Patrick Harris. He loves the stage. Oh, yeah. I guess he could just do it. Who do you think who do you think is spearheading this fucking musical?
00:38:07
Speaker
He's fucking 60. We're talking MPH here.
00:38:13
Speaker
But Casper Van Dien is basically playing his character from Starship Troopers at the end of the movie once he's a tough guy. Except for now he's in the army, not the Marines. In the army now. Because he's screaming about how he's the best. and He takes Stephen Baldwin into a wind tunnel. I am the greatest!
00:38:30
Speaker
He takes him into a wind tunnel to train him. And like Stephen Baldwin's like, what, this makes you the best? He's like, no, I make us the best. And then he jumps on this wind tunnel. And this has got to be a stunt person. Obviously, I would agree.
00:38:41
Speaker
But this guy just jumps in this wind tunnel and just starts doing these twists and twirls and spirals. Sky ballet. That looks so much fun because you're not plummeting to the earth. I'll do the part with the big fan. i want to do all. Oh, man. Because you know what? If that fan stops working and that net rips for some reason and I like fall through the fan, it'll still be s spinning fast enough to chop me up. I don't have minutes to think about my death before I hit the earth. to To quote Classy, you don't want to think about the bad shit you've done on your way to die. Exactly. Should have called my mom more. I'm falling down to the earth and I'm like, oh, fuck, I should have posted that last episode. Plop.
00:39:17
Speaker
Right? Oh, no. How'd I get a note of like, share, and subscribe?
00:39:24
Speaker
um But he is he knows about Redline. He's like, a lot of people say he's the best, but I'm the fucking best. And then it's a weird montage. See this jawline, dude? I'm the greatest. You see this jawline? I'm the greatest.
00:39:34
Speaker
That's why he's so cocky. He looked at himself in the mirror. But this is a really weird montage set to one of the worst songs I've ever heard. It's like this wind tunnel. think this is when I text you. The fuck?
00:39:44
Speaker
ah I had to look it up. I shazammed it or I Googled. It's the fartiest soundtrack for for of a month of really weak soundtracks. It's the fartiest. Yeah. It's by the classic 90s or group Entrain.
00:39:58
Speaker
and train Oh, nobody knows. But it's like a weird montage because it's like the wind tunnel training ah drop zone school stuff. um You see Thomas Ian Nicholas running around with his orange hair because here's his plan. And then also, but also a star in Baldwin in this montage fall in love.
00:40:17
Speaker
He does a solo jump like that's the whole montage. It's like it's like, let's get to the next part of the movie. Let's skip a bunch. Yeah. Yeah. Because what his plan is, is to he has the um Customs because of all the poll they have in this country Customs is talk the army into teaching him how to skydive so he can learn faster because otherwise it's going to take him what years to to to develop just with these what are they called the speed stars? Yeah. ah Well the the yeah it's a speed star. Miami speed star is what they're doing and then oh I thought you're talking about the army team they're the golden knights much like the Las Vegas football team right?
00:40:53
Speaker
Uh-huh. I've had a couple golden knights not with a K. hmm. Same, same. But like he does all that stuff to train about free falling. So like he's impressing all of them right out of the gate.
00:41:07
Speaker
Even Redline because Redline's like he did this after 80 jumps and she's like, try 18. Yeah. And yeah, he has this thing about like like, oh, he's or she's freaking out at first when they do their first solo jump.
00:41:20
Speaker
And she's like, he's like a prodigy. And the guy's like, yeah, at freefall. But he still needs help with ah steering. And then we go back to the montage. He beefs a great montage. And then they my favorite one, he's just hanging off the side of a garbage truck.
00:41:32
Speaker
He's got this look like. I love it. That's the best shot of this fucking movie. It's a living. Stunts be damned when he's rolling past on a garbage truck stuck to the side because this movie knows how to take out the trash and it's the lead actor.
00:41:46
Speaker
It's crazy though because... All the story stuff, a lot of it happens in montage where they just skip entire scenes and hope you'll you'll follow along. Because you do. However, it's still an hour and 44 minutes.
00:41:57
Speaker
i didn't I should have got a stopwatch out because I'm going to say of that hour and 44 minutes, half of it at least yeah at least half was just skydiving, yeah including montages. which for people listening, that's not a complaint. No, no, it's awesome. It's not. there's I mean, a lot of the stuff they're doing isn't the crazy, exciting, like adrenaline skydiving stuff we've seen in our other movies so far.
00:42:21
Speaker
Right. But they'd show him doing all this crazy. It's a skydiver directed movie. So it's like, people doing parachute stacking things like pyramids and like hanging off each other and doing like dances while they're skydiving upside down. We get the tandem one where the skydivers put their legs together and their chutes go out.
00:42:38
Speaker
Yeah. Like that's a fun fucking little buddy dive. Right? Yeah. it's It's a pretty good advertisement for skydiving. If I wasn't terrified of plummeting to death. This is the least action movie we've had of it of all. Like it has a gunfight.
00:42:51
Speaker
You know what i mean? Yeah. One. But again, that's not a complaint. That's just me saying like the action of this is a skydiving where our other ones have skydiving plus fights plus gunfights. Yeah.
00:43:04
Speaker
Or it's a gunfight plus skydiving. but Not yet. No, we've only one person's ever had a gun at a time. I guarantee you there's a movie where people are jumping out of a plane and shooting at each other.
00:43:15
Speaker
There has to be Hong Kong. I was saying the movie a gunfight. Hong Kong or India made it. With skydiving. I don't understand. It's fine. Cut it. Shaboinga.
00:43:26
Speaker
Um, but yeah, like after he's impressed by the, it's only 18 jumps, whatever he's given him all these pointers and doing all this stuff. Uh, red line is, and he's criticizing. It sounds like criticism.
00:43:36
Speaker
Yeah. mean, it is He leaves and stars like, dude, that's, that's not bad. Red line doesn't talk to students. Uh, you know, he must see something in you. But of course, right after this, Rodman confronts him and he's like 18 jumps my ass.
00:43:51
Speaker
That's kind of his big line of the movie. Trying to fight him. And Stephen's like, I'm not fighting you. Yeah, because Dennis Rodman just tried to fight you. The dude's like six foot eight. he just he like Probably, yeah. He punches fucking ah Stephen Baldwin and Baldwin like kind of like gives him a a little toss over kind of thing.
00:44:10
Speaker
And then he's like, well, I'll see you on the flight line and just book books it the fuck out of there. And he's like, no way. If that guy fucking, if he bear hugs me, I'm fucking dead.
00:44:21
Speaker
I've seen double team. He knows karate. did say I did. I think so If I remember right, he trained by monks. I did say somebody was going to die, though. Yeah. Yeah.
00:44:32
Speaker
Did you have any idea who or just knew someone? I just knew someone was going to die because of how he was climbing the ranks. And I was like, well, someone's going to die. So boom, boom can get back in Yeah.
00:44:45
Speaker
Also, I know they all have cool skydiving names. well Is it boom, boom? Because he shit himself. I was going to say, don't call me boom, boom, dude. Like, oh, that's Boom Boom. Why? Well, because on his first jump, he shit his pants. ah Also, he just quit his job. Or maybe that was Rush. I don't know.
00:45:00
Speaker
Everybody just quit. there These are all cutaways. and that's Even this little kid who's like a young, what do call it? Well, he's he's a prodigy of sorts because pro he's in college. but He's writing his dissertation on something.
00:45:16
Speaker
On Redline. Oh, and ah Jack, we mentioned Thomas Ian Nicholas with his orange or pink or whatever color. Oh, yeah. He's either Rip or Cord. He's Rip. He's Rip. And his friend Cord is played by a guy named Philip Glasser, who you wouldn't know. band?
00:45:32
Speaker
Except for he is Fievel in their Fievel mouse movies. All of the Fievels. I've never seen a Fivl before. like in live I've never seen what he looks like. Oh my gosh.
00:45:44
Speaker
He's in a few movies I saw. That was the thing I recognized. He's in stuff that's live action, but he does a lot of voice work. I was distracted because they were dressed like a Limp Bizkit album. Same with, right? And then same with the Prodigy Kid. He's been in shit ton of shit.
00:45:59
Speaker
A lot of it voice acting, but a lot of like... He was in Picket. He was one of the kids in Picket Fences. I've never seen him, but... So so this i mean this is who you're getting for cheap.
00:46:10
Speaker
Yeah. People that have worked, they know how to fit in your little system, but they ain't going to cost you nothing. $9 million dollar budget. Good God. Whitney knew he was from a show. I thought it was from Step by Step. Step by Step. But ended up being Picket Fences. The nerdy little brother.
00:46:25
Speaker
I can see Step by Step because I haven't seen that in long enough. There is a generically white nerd. But Picket Fences, yeah, with Tom Scarif. So he goes, Scare it. ah
00:46:39
Speaker
So yeah, Vic snoops around, finds some information about turbo goes to meet with Ron silver. And I was, I was really hoping they would just keep meeting on this basketball court. Cause they meet here twice. not And i why not? So he walks out here wearing like a fucking Kangol hat and whatever he's, whatever Stephen Baldwin is dressed like.
00:46:56
Speaker
He had a bandana. Well, he goes back from back and forth. He's got a Cypress Hill bucket hat at some point. He's got the bandana. I mean, he is doing his best ah late 90s.
00:47:07
Speaker
It's not even new metal yet. It's that like, you're unbelievable. Oh, like that's his look is that song. he's ah He's a big fan of the new radicals.
00:47:20
Speaker
Don't skydive, you've got a reason to live. yeah Just stay up. Oh, there you go.
00:47:32
Speaker
But yeah, he goes and meets with Ron Silver. First of all, he shows up with this folder that he stole. He's got it like tucked in the back of his pants. He like does it a little quick thing, turns around. So it's like a sneaky, like here's the file. Like they're undercover. Come get it.
00:47:46
Speaker
But then Ron Silver just snatches it and then just immediately in the middle is just like, I'm going to read this file. It's like it makes no fucking sense. zero Look, Derek, I got you this microfilm. Cool. Let me project it onto this wall where everyone's walking past so we can see what's on this microfilm.
00:48:02
Speaker
Let me project it up in Times Square. We're going to see what's going on here. Yeah, there we go. I'm going to cast this real quick here to the best buy. But like the big thing here is Baldwin's like this money's got to be coming from somewhere because none of these people have fucking jobs.
00:48:15
Speaker
They're all a bunch of bums. Have you smelled them? I'm just wondering at how much each of these jumps has to cost. I mean, aside from fuel, it doesn't cost anything, right? You don't go out skydiving just like that on a weekday. On a weekday. I mean, the fuel is the big cost um because repacking your shoe, it looks like they're doing it their themselves. They're themselves.
00:48:35
Speaker
um you need food to eat that's i mean food and fuel that's it so they pay the pilot they need a lot but this pilot's probably a cutaway too yeah but like they're getting lots and lots of like that first drug deal we see should probably should be enough to cover fuel for months yeah but then it also at one point it also costs to get internationals Sure, that's true. That's true. You got your fees.
00:48:59
Speaker
You got to maybe repair or replace uniforms. But what is it when he does the first job with ah Baldwin, he's like, what do we get tonight? He's like, 100 jumps. Yeah. Not even thinking about it in money because that's not what he's there for, man. He doesn't think about it money. He's a fucking monk.
00:49:15
Speaker
um Thinks about it in monkey. But so Baldwin goes all in. He shows up at the thing. He's like, he's got a bag. What's in the bag? My life. I'm cutting away. Shot. Oh.
00:49:26
Speaker
And like, i pi I just turned to Whitney and laughed. I was like, so they're all just like, yeah, he's cutting away. He's joining us. He's done 18 jumps. He's ready to just give his life up after four days of skydiving. right Some people get addicted really quick. Ask heroin. Like just sometimes. All right, hold on.
00:49:45
Speaker
Heroin. Do people get? Just kidding. Just kidding. I use the other arm. Can't see the veins in this arm. With your right-handed, you can't stick a needle in with your left arm. over here trying to do needle with my left arm. I keep missing.
00:49:59
Speaker
He's all jabby jab. The ah nurse that works for our doctor's office, who's very delightful, by the way, love Mo. I have the tattoo on the forearm, and she every time she takes blood, she's like, i just i wish your vein was on the heart so I could just stick that guy in the heart. right Like she's like, you're having fun with your job. Like she said it one day. She's like, oh, that was really morbid. It's like, no, no, I dig it.
00:50:24
Speaker
Distracting me from the giant needle in your hand. So keep going. I know Derek was getting a blood drawn one day and I was like, oh, that looks like a good vein. And she's like, are you a phlebotomist? I was like, I want to be.
00:50:37
Speaker
I'm a phlebotomist, hip hop, phlebotomist. My lyrics are bottomless. I'm an amateur phlebotomist. I'm just kidding. I'm an independent phlebotomist. I haven't been picked up by anybody yet, but you know, it's kind of a, it's, i'm a hobby phlebotomist. If, if I have to really say free agent, if you will, I'm a rogue phlebotomist.
00:50:59
Speaker
I just phlebot people. Vampire. Okay. I just give me your blood. Oh, is that why Tom Cruise is listot? Cause it's kind of like phlebot. He's a listotomist.
00:51:11
Speaker
I'm the first naked one. I'm phlebotomless.
00:51:16
Speaker
Take your pants off and let me get some blood. There we go. Get that femoral artery, baby. So, ah yeah, Tom Berenger's like, hey, welcome to the crew. he puts Vic in the the speed star formation, which kicks Boom Boom out, which I thought was going to be a bigger thing.
00:51:33
Speaker
No, everyone's tired of him shitting himself on the way down to Boom Boom. You are out. We finally have a guy that doesn't leave a fucking smoke trail of crap. It's always slowing down the formation of the group.
00:51:46
Speaker
Also, I told you, you've got to stop eating protein powder straight up, dude. You've to mix it. Don't snort the protein. A spoonful of protein powder helps boom, boom, go down.
00:51:58
Speaker
Every time an Egyptian tomb opens, it's coming right out of your butt.
00:52:03
Speaker
ah So they do their they do their practice, but we find out that like Star is very upset in a plot line that doesn't matter because she's the first female speed star. On the team. the rule is that there's no romance on the team, so she can't be with Stephen Baldwin anymore.
00:52:23
Speaker
And then when they land and they're and then they're doing this montage next scene, they're holding hands. Yeah. During the montage of team practices, they're watching their video and holding hands. I'm like, it's a cut scene and I'm fine with it.
00:52:36
Speaker
Well, and they they act like they're sneaking around the rest of the movie, like when we see her naked later and she's like, you better go before they see us. But then just in a in a moment that's just dropped. Tom Barringer is like, you guys want to fuck around. You got to you're going find out like that's pretty much fuck around. Find out.
00:52:51
Speaker
He only put that rule on because people are going to get jealous because it's it's seven guys and one girl. Yeah. Somebody's going to get jealous. I mean, Rip and Cor are going to go jerk each other off listening to fucking Limp Bizkit, so that's fine.
00:53:03
Speaker
They're like, he said no romance, but I don't actually love you, dude. I just want to jerk it. yeah i just need jerk buddy. I don't love you. I'm just horny. God, if I nickel every time I heard that.
00:53:16
Speaker
have two nickels, which is not a lot, but it's weird it happened twice. It's two more nickels than you had. It's true. So at the end of this montage.
00:53:27
Speaker
I have nickels, Greg. Can you bill me?
00:53:34
Speaker
At the end of this montage, Vic gets moved up above ah the the smart kid, Cal. um So it's like already like it's like, oh, i well, we skydived for a day. And well, you're better than this 12 year old that we have with us. So his name's his name's not his real name's not Cal, not his Christian name. That's his nickname. It's short for calcium.
00:53:57
Speaker
Calligraphy. Calligraphy. Man, you got some fancy ass writings. Everyone's like ripping on. Look at that guy's got calligraphy. well Calligraphy. What's up, calligraphy? Because he got start with them doing like skydive skywriting.
00:54:13
Speaker
He's got like the smoke coming out of his feet, like ah Charlie Sheen in terminal vertical terminosity. Or it's short for Caligula, because this little boy dirty. He's got some hormones. He's in college. He's just like, yeah, boy. First time he jumped with them, he was like, so we have an orgy now, right, guys? And they were like, all right, calm down, Cal. Breaching boner. um everybody Everybody else's boner helped break the speed, like break a little wind in front of you. your boner help you break wind is what I'm asking? And Boom Boom was like, what about breaking wind?
00:54:41
Speaker
Yeah. I think I down here first. but Well, you guys are going to call him cowl, not fart pants. You call me boom, boom. Boom, boom.
00:54:55
Speaker
at At night, Vic is doing more sneaking around. He finds like a satellite navigation thing. And so night vision binocular or monocular of some sort. too Yeah.
00:55:06
Speaker
And turbo shit. But then turbo comes out, takes the car. Vic has to hide. um He goes back and he's this is where Boom Boom and Cal. This is the only time that's.
00:55:18
Speaker
getting train we're not goingnna get away from We're not going to get away from this secret special agent move that he does so that Rodman doesn't notice him. Because Rodman gets in the car. He just ducks on all fours like a sphinx pose. yeah And then Rodman drives away and he's just stuck there. like He looks right at the camera like, I look ridiculous.
00:55:38
Speaker
It's so fucking funny. Rodman looks at him when gets out. Rodman gets the car and then turns around and looks... And he doesn't see anything. now he gone. And when they cut back, Stephen Baldwin is coming out from behind like ah a door or something.
00:55:51
Speaker
So yeah, he went down on all fours and then somehow got up and got away fast enough for Rodman not to him. It was just the stupidest, like, this is what they teach you in custom school. Table. I learned this. I learned this. Anytime there's a nuclear attack, you get under your desk like this.
00:56:07
Speaker
The only way we can take down Robin is if I give him the old table maneuver. You're going to push him when I yell table, right? Okay. Don't make me look stupid just sitting there looking like a table. But like the only time his moving up in the ranks really comes to fruition of any sort until much later in the movie is here because Boom Boom and Cal are sitting around the fire and Vic shows up and they're both just like whispering and like and looking over at him. and like just He's like, you guys just going to sit there and talk shit about me?
00:56:34
Speaker
Meh. Well, then he's like, you know, it's not me. It's Redline making all the shots. It's ah he's the one doing this. and we need And we do get like ah the point break, like cult thing kind of here because the kid is like, no, Redline's not doing that.
00:56:50
Speaker
No, it's like they're all just like Redline can't possibly do anything wrong. Yeah. like No, Redline. And i'm not saying he's doing anything wrong, but he's making these decisions. Yeah. No, don't blame our God. But then someone says one of them says great earring that Tom Barringer.
00:57:04
Speaker
afraid just one big left gold hoop i love it one of them says that red line uh make sure everybody can jump he pays for all the jumps and and that's when think it's boom boom but that's when baldwin's like i thought turbo had all the money because he saw his big gold watch and shit oh yeah he's like turbo red line same thing so that's when stephen baldwin's like oh no is my friend involved in drug Shooting but the little drug drug is shooting drugs shooting the ah
00:57:36
Speaker
Shit talking so quick dude because boom boom and calamari are instantly like well look here's how this works out and they come in this way and yada yada using like beer bottles to said elaborate yeah Yeah. So, I mean, it's it's just kind of disappears, but it's fine.
00:57:52
Speaker
It gets us to the next skydiving scene. Actually, before that, they go back and meet at the fucking basketball court again. And this is when I told Whitney, I was like, I hope that Ron Silver just worked for one day at this basketball court.
00:58:03
Speaker
And Stephen Baldwin just kept walking off camera and putting on it. He's like, all right, take off the bandana, put on the bucket hat. Like I was like every time he needs to meet him at this basketball court with a different hat. all right get rid of Get rid of the album cover for the band Lit and let's move on to the Young Radicals. That's the set we the set dressing we're doing now. Thank you.
00:58:23
Speaker
Next one, Backwards Red Hat. I want to fit in with ah Rip and Cord. What do you have that says Crazy Town? i do like that they start meeting at the ah track instead.
00:58:36
Speaker
Yeah, that's that's that's where they go after. i was kind of disappointed. I mean, that's funner, but I'm disappointed too, especially because you, like, very bad boys. You could have had ah Joey Pants as just throwing up buckets because actor-activist Ron Silver does not fucking ah make a bucket at all.
00:58:53
Speaker
Ever. But the thing the thing here is, ah Vic, is like, if I can get it on their drops, then we can take down everyone. And Ron Silver is like, ah you're getting closer, but you're not close enough.
00:59:04
Speaker
You know how it happens? That's how it happens. That's how you get it. Because 1% of 1% is 1%. I know what he's saying, but the way it's written is like, you know how it happens? That's how it happens. It happens. And I'm like, what?
00:59:16
Speaker
Like, I... I understand because I've seen an undercover cop movie before. Yeah. But like this is so poorly written dialogue wise that it's just like think that's why I prefer the montage.
00:59:27
Speaker
We're not blaming actor activist Ron because he is doing the best with that line. That's a fucking hard line to chew. This is where we get the scene where Star and Vic hook up. She's completely naked. He's fully clothed.
00:59:40
Speaker
I just take it out of my pee hole for a little bit. Is that OK? I'm going to pop it out and pop it back in. We are wearing all black. You know we're going to be able to see the residuals. You know what? It's fine. I think it's blue.
00:59:51
Speaker
I'm in. It dries up and his crotch is just all crusty. Oh, God. He's like, that's fine. It'll all blow off on the next jump. Is there any black lights in this movie? All right.

Bar Scene Humor: Strippers and Alcohol Consumption
01:02:11
Speaker
And red line goes to Vick's tent after he leaves and is like, all right, now you're moving up to third. And that was Russia's position. So now he comes in. He's like, Hey, we got to talk.
01:02:22
Speaker
Yeah. And so they get drunk at a strip club. That's but it's closing down and he's dancing with a stripper. We missed a scene here. They filmed the scene with strippers. Oh, yeah. Betting you because it's it's a shot. the The trope that we that I hate as a bartender.
01:02:36
Speaker
It's a table of like 30 empty shot glasses. I'm like, first of all, yeah you're over serving. Second of all, you're showing that you're over serving. Third, how many glasses does this bar have that each customer just gets to keep at the amount of shots they have? Well, you see, they actually went through the script and counted how many times they said cutaway and each of them got one shot.
Rock Bottom Realization and Base Jumping Comedy
01:02:57
Speaker
Stephen Baldwin just fucking hammered right now. This is when he found Jesus. He was like, I got to change something. did 26 shots in three scenes.
01:03:09
Speaker
But like way Russia's thing is he's like, you've still got some kind of issues, something you're holding on to. You got to be able to do whatever it takes, whether it's legal or illegal. Yeah. baldwin's oh Good. It's not red line. It's it's rush.
01:03:21
Speaker
What are you talking about illegal? And then they fucking base jump off of fucking power line and whatever this thing is. But it's just so funny because as their skydive or base jumping down and he's like baffled, he's like, what are we even doing? I'm like, you had to climb up there.
01:03:39
Speaker
You didn't just wake up here, did you? Oh, maybe he was that drunk. This is him coming too. He sobered up as right when they jumped? Yeah. Yeah. This is his moment of clarity after drinking. Every time they say cutaway, he's like, you know, that's when I woke up on top of a fucking water silo with a parachute strapped to my back and some guy named Ground Zero, I knew I'd fucked up. I thought I was about to hit rock bottom, but luckily my shoe opened. thought I was going to hit rock bottom, but he moved out of the way just in time. Yeah, that's right. I jumped with a guy named Rock Bottom.
Skydiving Competition: Humor and Dynamics
01:04:10
Speaker
but So that's it. So it's not Rush. Did you think they were going to kiss? Yes. i Did I not say kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss? Stephen Baldwin just kisses everybody he jumps with.
01:04:21
Speaker
Well, no, it's it's fucking... His nickname is Smoochie. What's the other guy's name? Not Boom Boom? ah Rush. Rush. Rush. Rush is the one who like grabs him. and like I was like, oh my god, he's about to be like... yeah Not only am I not the robber, but I am i am a robber. I'm a thief. going to steal a kiss.
01:04:38
Speaker
Smooch. They call me Mr. Steal Your Boy. They call me Mr. Boombust. So they start throwing around a bunch of numbers. and We find out later. I was like, what are they timing? Because they're talking about how the army team did a 16 and the lead guy hit 160. And I'm like, okay, 160 I get. That's the the speed.
01:04:57
Speaker
Sure. That's easy. But I was like, what is 16? I knew that from the gate because he even says, he's like, we got we start at the timer, the first person coming out, and then the timer and the last person. and then you um ah when they Did they explain that?
01:05:11
Speaker
Yes, they did. Where was I? Typing something. ah Just on IMDb. I was waiting for the next fucking skydiving scene. I was like, oh, they're talking again. Derek just checks out. Well, all right, so here's what we got to do here, Tolbert.
01:05:25
Speaker
We got to move on from
Intense Skydiving Drills: Comedy and Critique
01:05:26
Speaker
the... They're jumping again.
01:05:30
Speaker
But his punishment to Star and Vic for fucking against the rules and because Vic is his being too slow next guy whatever, is that he has to do terminal...
01:05:44
Speaker
drills it's almost terminal velocity so close dude bad punishment by the way that's like somebody catching me smoking weed and being like now you gotta smoke to this whole fucking pack of joints like okay because that their punishment is go back up there and skydive more yeah okay we love skydiving we we we have we established that we fucking love skydiving in this movie yeah but it's a group It looked like in that montage, they had to piss in a bottle, grab food and get in the plane, take off one shoot, put back on. Yeah, that's what i was going to say. They show throughout that montage that it's like it's drills of jumping. It's like they get down and like they're taking off their shoots and there's Rip and Cord with two new shoots. And it's like, get back up there. as only It's got to be exhausting.
01:06:30
Speaker
They have to repackage everyone at the end. That's the big one. is At the end of the night, they're like, here's all the shoots you use. Now start packing. I was going to say, because You tell me I get to jump and you're going to hand me a new shoot. Okay.
01:06:40
Speaker
But no, now I have to pack them all. That's the part that sucks. Everyone that you've done. It's Rodman's worst performance of the movie. Cause he's the one who shows them It's a music based montage. who doesn't say anything, but he goes, takes them into the the tent full of shoots and he points to him and he does, um, uh, what's his name?
01:07:00
Speaker
The Jeff from Miami connection. He does like a Just a slow hand out thing. I guess people who are listening me. don't what these shoots are doing here. Exactly. The way he points is so stiff and like, this is for you.
01:07:16
Speaker
Soon this will all be yours, except for that dark place over there. We don't go there. He was known for his rebounds, not his deliveries. All right? There you He's a mailman. That was kind of so We've got to drop a rockin' awful nu metal song throughout this montage.
01:07:33
Speaker
And you better believe I Shazammed that one, too. Was it Rip and Cord doing it? There's a group called Cell Dweller doing a song called Symbiont. oh Dumb on at every term. It's less awful than the last song, but it's still awful.
01:07:50
Speaker
But not by much. Well, that last song was like, let's do like soft new metal reggae like It was such a weird combination and the whole thing was all about how we're all one or whatever.
01:08:02
Speaker
It was the Goo Goo Dolls covering Bob Marley, which is something no one needed to hear. no one ever. I said it and I'm upset.
01:08:10
Speaker
But at the end of the montage, we find out their punishment's over because Vic hit 168. He's a fucking madman. Guess what? He's now number four. Yep. He moves up to number four. Moving on up.
01:08:22
Speaker
And you know who gets pushed down? Star. So now she's a sad... She's used to being a top. Yeah. um But no, like they they this this group has bought into the idea of the jump.
01:08:35
Speaker
Like the competition jump. i don't really care I don't really get why they so are shitty about being moved away. We are trying to get better. We're getting faster. That's what I didn't understand. I didn't understand why everybody was so angry. know your ego's hurt.
01:08:49
Speaker
Yeah, it's ego and it's posturing and it's like it's all that stuff. But it's like if it's going to make the team better and you're doing a team based skydiving is like a solo sport. But this is a team based.
01:08:59
Speaker
Yeah. And then a Rip and Corder like digging on her and she's like, shut up. You're fucking next, dude. Yeah. And it's just like, no. And then like, he's like, well what do you do if that happens? He's like, I won't care.
01:09:11
Speaker
oh like they're just the stoners. They're the Bill and Ted. Well, they're the crazy ones because they're skydiving caps have like dreadlocks
Skydiving Attire and Character Antics
01:09:20
Speaker
on it. Also, wouldn't they be faster if they took those bitches off?
01:09:24
Speaker
He's wearing like a felt thing with giant felt spikes sticking off of I would have actually loved ah scene with Redline like, you want to win? Take that goofy shit off your fucking head. Get in line. Get in uniform, you punks.
01:09:36
Speaker
What does this look like? game? Does this look like we're having fun? had Dennis Rodman take his nipple rings and his cock ring out. He did that for the team. But he put them back in because they were actually so heavy that it made him fall faster. God, what gauge do you think it is?
01:09:52
Speaker
His cock ring? Yeah. I don't know. Is the low number bigger? Yeah. 23. twenty three Is that a big? No. All right. Double zero. That's wet. The double zero is big. Low numbers. I'm an idiot. 23 what you basically get gun ear piercings with.
01:10:06
Speaker
I dated a guy who had a zero gauge PA. Oh, I know the PA. Could you put your hand through it? Number two pencil.
01:10:17
Speaker
So you can put your pinky through it. Yes. Gross. Yeah. I do like Rip and Cord, like, talk after they where they're talking shit and, like, they're still laying on the ground and one of them...
01:10:31
Speaker
One of them insults the other one. He's like, brown noser. And then it's like, nose asser. Brown kisser. Ass kiss nose butt. like they' just Salad tosser. And then they have sex. And then they have sex.
01:10:42
Speaker
With each other, if that wasn't clear. You know what? I saw those stupid skydiving videos you make. They suck. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I said those things about those skydiving videos. I'm just so so scared. I'm scared of skydiving alone. want to skydive all over. I choose you.
01:11:00
Speaker
over again pampa he goes for another meeting with ron silver this one's at the racetrack and uh you stick at anyone ever tell you you stick out like a skydiver He stick out like a skydiver at a horse track as somebody that wears Hawaiian shirts on the regs.
01:11:18
Speaker
I appreciate this line where he's like, this is just who I am now.
Illegal Activities Denial: Movie Trope Humor
01:11:21
Speaker
This is who or who I am right now. This is who I am right now. Sorry, dude. I'm a skydiver. I don't have a real job. I just jump out of airplanes for fun.
01:11:30
Speaker
Hawaiian shirts are the least of my concern. Yeah, but he's still in denial here because he's telling Ron Silver like red line doesn't seem like the type. It's all turbo. Like, and this is where in my notes i have i have written Bodhi right after that because it's that's the whole thing. Like, no, it can't possibly be him. He just so charming.
01:11:49
Speaker
Mm hmm. Yeah, but it's he's not doing and that's what we learn when we find out that he is only doing it to fund all of this. He's not doing it because he enjoys doing it. It's slightly altruistic.
01:12:01
Speaker
Yeah, you know, he's like, I just want to make sure all of my people can jump. Well, I guess it's also greedy because he wants the best team and the best team is the one that can just practice day in, day out.
01:12:12
Speaker
Well, yeah, because your biggest competition is the army skydivers whose job is to skydive. Yeah. Right. They get paid for it. so guys are These guys are not getting called into active combat very quickly.
01:12:25
Speaker
They're the ones that are shooting guns. I was like, they're a year away from getting called into combat. Yeah, they might be skydiving into fucking ah to into Afghanistan soon. This movie ends with Stephen Baldwin being like, next year the army's going to do this. And I was like, no, they're not.
01:12:41
Speaker
Mm-mm. Next year, Casper Van Dean's going to be in Afghanistan. Something tells me that the army's not going to repeat this next year. If I was a betting man.
01:12:52
Speaker
But he's getting all absorbed in his skydiving thing because he wins at the racetrack. He gives the thing to Ron Silver, and he's like, what, you bet on ah you bet on number eight? i can't get I can't just do it out of nowhere. You bet on number eight? You bet on number eight?
01:13:04
Speaker
And he's like, yeah. bet on number eight? Eight's always the fastest. because that's tom berenger's position and casper van deen's diarrhea said what's his name del maria casper van dean casper van dean sure diarrhea it is something like that delmira oh no that jawline
01:13:24
Speaker
um so they they go up to jump and like literally right as they're about to jump out of the
Skydiving Position Switch: Comedic Confusion
01:13:30
Speaker
thing red line just goes up and grabs vic and he's like nope now you're one more position up all right everybody i know you didn't practice for this these positions go i thought he pulls him back two more because he keeps ripping cord together Oh, okay. Which is smart.
01:13:45
Speaker
Yeah, because they have to... You don't separate Tweedledee and Tweedledum. No. you That's how you get somebody Tweedled killed. Thing one and thing two. Wouldn't you know your own position pretty well and not...
01:13:58
Speaker
position seven or or you're moving forward. So position like five. like that would fuck you up. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. And I guess I didn't catch that he pulled him, too, because that's when Dennis Rodman's like, well, that's the furthest he can go, right? Like, this is about you and me, man.
01:14:13
Speaker
So because I was like, well, he was in four. Did they cut the scene where he went to five? na he but but that makes sense. He went past. Yeah. Tweedledee and Tweedledum. That checks.
01:14:25
Speaker
So they do a jump. They stay. Oh, they find out that the army did a... 16. 15. Or no, this is where they do a 15 second, 15.15.
01:14:36
Speaker
They keep doing them and the Behringer's like, we're stuck at 15. 15. yeah And like he said something in the movie. I don't know if it's happening or if it happens later. But he was like, you know, people used to think it was impossible to do sub 20.
01:14:49
Speaker
I changed that. yeah And now they're sitting here going 15 is not good enough. well It turns out it's not. But what we get, said, what we get the end of the movie is a giant jump in time, like records.
01:15:01
Speaker
Yeah. They do another one and he's this is where he's like, I'm going to have Turbo and Vic both jump at the same time, position seven or whatever, six and a half, I guess. They're racing to see who's going to be seven.
01:15:13
Speaker
Yeah, basically whoever gets to the group first gets to be seven. This is the part that blinked. Or no, Zoe had come in, so I didn't see Rodman hit his head.
Skydiving Mishap: Humor and Dark Commentary
01:15:21
Speaker
it It is a blink and you miss it kind of thing.
01:15:23
Speaker
It's literally like they go out the door and like the, there's a shot out the door of the bay and you just see like him just real quick go bunk. And then it's like cut away to them, cut away, take a shot to them falling. So, and I was actually kind of confused at first too, cause like Rodman's plummeting. and so I wrote down that he had gotten knocked out when he jumped, but I swear to God, there's a moment where he looks behind himself.
01:15:49
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. I think the skydiver does. I don't think the character does. Yeah. But he's that he's falling like uncontrollably. He slams into the formation. We find out later that that's what kills him because he broke his neck when he's crashed into them.
01:16:04
Speaker
um Vic tries to save him, can't reach him. Redline gets there and pulls his chute the last second. But when they land, Turbo's dead. He just drops. Yeah, he's he's fucking just dead weight.
01:16:15
Speaker
And Dennis Rodman is off to another party. Bummer. Yeah. Can you write me out of this movie, dude? Carmen Lech is throwing some thing, and I'm going to try and get in there, if you know what mean. Right? So much to his chagrin, they have to bring Boom Boom back in.
01:16:30
Speaker
So Redline's like, all right, shitpants, you're up. All right. It's your turn it's your time to shine, shitpants. There are 30 people living at this drop zone camp. But these are the only nine people who could possibly do this, I guess.
01:16:44
Speaker
Well, because Boom Boom made nine because they had to push. Nobody else is good enough. Everybody else is like, I love skydiving. That's the only thing I want to live for. But red line very specific and I'm not good enough.
01:16:56
Speaker
Okay. I guess that makes sense. And for some reason, everybody's mad at Vic. Yep. For this thing. and Because he's just got he is going on like nothing happened. like Because that's what Redline does. He's taking the lead.
01:17:09
Speaker
yeah's yeah He's following the lead. Well, I think people maybe suspect foul play from him. Do they? I don't know. Maybe not. I don't know. But they're all just like they're they're pissy with him. i mean, it doesn't again, it does not carry on like a lot of plot threads in this movie. It's like for this moment, he's like, why are they mad at me?
01:17:25
Speaker
And then we cut to the next scene and nobody cares anymore. so Yeah. yeah um He has a little heart to heart with red line and he's like, you know, how did you go so fast fast enough to catch him? I was going balls out and I couldn't get him. He's like, because fear is holding you back.
01:17:38
Speaker
Fear of dying. Blah, blah, blah. Yeah. well that's That's the line I said earlier. You're not afraid of dying. i am. but afraid of losing more. Yeah. He's like, so you're my number seven. Now you need to be my partner and everything.
01:17:51
Speaker
And we need some quick cash to get to the nationals. So let's go do some things that turbo had set up. Let's go do crimes. And Stephen Baldwin's worst delivery. Fucking Tom Barger looks at him goes, this is the real deal. And he goes, so am I, I am a U S customs agent.
01:18:11
Speaker
So am I,
01:18:15
Speaker
Viacondios! Both of us! um I was telling Whitney, I was like, Thomas Ian Nicholas just did American Pie the year before this. Yeah. So I was like, why isn't he in a real movie? Because he got to skydive for free.
Actor Choices and Character Dynamics
01:18:30
Speaker
that's which That's what she said. I was like, I feel like his agent didn't get all the information is what I think happened. like They called and they're like, oh, we have this movie we want ah you we would love if Thomas Ian Nicholas would be in this movie with us.
01:18:42
Speaker
um Who's in it? Oh, well, we've got Tom Berenger. We've got Baldwin. it just said just just says we've got Baldwin. And they're like, Thomas Ian Nicholas is like, Berenger and Stephen, sorry, Alec Baldwin.
01:18:54
Speaker
Oh, my God. Professional basketball player. Yeah. He's Michael Jordan. He shows up to set and he's like, That's ah but's not Alec. Is that a Baldwin?
01:19:05
Speaker
What the fuck Baldwin is that? Why does Adam Baldwin look more related to Alec Baldwin than Stephen Baldwin? What Baldwin is that and why the front of his pants all white and crusty? Because he only has sex out of his dick holes. I think he knew what he was signing up for. yeah i think so too. but yeah' just he's He literally is just, if you watch him, he's just there having fun like yeah he and his buddy are just they're just having fun they could care less he's a real life cutaway he's like look dude if you want me to be in your movie and i just get paid i don't have to pay for the jumps i'm in maybe that is his buddy too maybe they're actually friends they were both child stars to a point because he was in uh uh the one you said rookie of the year and kid in king arthur's court and other kid was uh fievel
01:19:55
Speaker
Fievel. Fievel! Fievel! Fievel Mouskiewicz. If memory serves me correctly. Correct it is.
01:20:05
Speaker
Go on. So we get another montage of drug jumps set to the ro the Ron Price band Buckeye playing Nobody's Business.
01:20:17
Speaker
oh your Your band is literally the Ron Price band Buckeye. Like, is there another Ron Price band and that's your location? We've run into this before.

01:20:34
Speaker
We've had a booking issue very similar. yeah Do we have a buckeye? Oh, yeah. Yeah, we a buckeye. That's where the funk junkies are from. Ohio has buckeye trees.
01:20:47
Speaker

Drug Delivery via Skydiving: Fictional Scenarios
01:20:50
Speaker
Well, city. The municipality. The quaint little hamlet. It's bigger than an incorporated township.
01:21:00
Speaker
on the inside. It might be worse than Yuma. It might be. But yeah there's this montage of drug jumps. ah Well, the first one, i just love that there's no nothing said about this.
01:21:11
Speaker
They land at these twins. where We find out with the Castillo twins. But you've got like mobster twins that are running shit. That's terrifying. Yeah. Yeah. Give me give me this story. Like, if if you're going to cut anything, get rid of all this fucking U.S. s custom shit and make give me the skydiving drug world.
01:21:28
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. I want to see these two fucking twins ordering cocaine via phone delivered by skydiving. and They each say one word like they go back and forth.
01:21:39
Speaker
Yeah, like Tomax and Zaymont. Like we need the cocaine delivered now, bitch.
01:21:51
Speaker
Dude, all of a sudden the cocaine gets delivered and sudden you can see a fucking Pizza Hut parachute coming in. Like, hey, know what? It's just a good delivery system. We're not going to miss out on any money. So you want a hot pie and a two liter? You hit us up, dude. We got a fucking blimp up there just cooking these things hot.
01:22:08
Speaker
ah Pizza insurance does not apply if you order skydiving delivery. yeah No shit. and you know um Your pizza just got lost because your driver got ah your skydiver, sky driver just got launched into a tornado.
01:22:24
Speaker
We will not be seeing him again. His family does want to say sorry that he dishonored you. You know how Amazon was talking about doing like the drone deliveries? Yeah.
01:22:36
Speaker
Scratch it. Skydiving deliveries. They already hate their employees. Oh, you could you could figure it out. You can't figure it out. With a drone, you can control it. If you just push 150 people out carrying packages, they'll get there.
01:22:52
Speaker
If you have a concussed, drugged up Tom Barringer that can hit a fucking launch pad, ah a landing pad anywhere he goes, somebody else could too. He's concussed and vikendened out.
01:23:05
Speaker
And vikendened. But we get his real name in their little conversation. and i couldn I didn't quite get it, but it's something along the lines of Toppipanagelitis. It's Tommy Papalopoulos.
01:23:17
Speaker
But it's not as Greek as that. It's like Papalagelitis or something. Yeah, because it's Flemish. It's Flemish. Belgian. Belgian. Yeah, it is it is very Papatopatopoulos, but it's less less Greek.
Film Critique and Actor Career Speculation
01:23:32
Speaker
And ah Baldwin's got another one. I can see why you cut that away. Oh, that's a shot at least.
01:23:41
Speaker
um But he does talk to him about like, you ever worry about getting caught? Actually, he says, do you ever think about getting caught? Which is a weird way to word that you ever think about getting caught? Yeah, yeah. I thought about it, but yeah, I thought about it and I changed my mind.
01:23:56
Speaker
ah don't want to get caught. But he's like, if you're going to pay, if you're going play, you got to pay. I'd go to jail if I had to, because winning is all that matters. Yeah, he's not. he No, he's not going to go to jail if he has to.
01:24:08
Speaker
No, he's not. Well, i think it's only because they won. He's like, cool. I can release myself now from this prison. i've So if they would have come in second, he would have gone into jail, done his time, come out and been like skydiving at 60.
01:24:22
Speaker
Yep. 100%. I mean, he's already skydiving at 60. I'm pretty sure. cow Gentleman's 55. We have another meeting. We're going lose Tom Berenger soon, man. I'm sad.
01:24:36
Speaker
Yeah, probably. i mean, i I saw him in something The dude looked old in Major League, and that was 1992. Oh, he looked great Major League. Hold thy tongue, sir. I challenge you to a skydiving duel.
01:24:48
Speaker
We're just going to fucking parachute at each other and try and slap each other. Oh, missed! Skydiving jousting. i You give me some sky jousting, dude. I'm having such a good time.
01:25:01
Speaker
Hollywood. Get some fucking balls. He is 76 years old. Yeah, and that's not that old, but like just one of the things that... and in this good my my The old roommate I had, she was watching one of those new Sniper movies, which is a remake of him doing Sniper, but he plays the guy's dad, so he's in it. I'm like, man, i Tom is looking rough, dude. May 49. Nice. Chicago.
01:25:27
Speaker
nice chicago But yeah, it'll be it'll be a sad day. It'll be a sad day. So he meets up again with Ron Silver. He's like, ah yeah, so I was wrong. It turns out it was red line the whole time. My bad.
01:25:39
Speaker
Yeah.
Undercover Agent Twist: Comedy and Reflection
01:25:40
Speaker
um So have you ever been seduced? Remember in the beginning where there was that girl with the the big boobs and the the silky underwears?
01:25:51
Speaker
He did too he did that to like with me with with me with his mind. he I looked in the eyes and he had the underwear on in his eyes. Does make sense?
01:26:02
Speaker
And I love Silver's like, when's the first delivery? And he's like, ah yesterday. He covers this dog's ears because he's like, Ron is going yell at me, dude.
01:26:15
Speaker
Did he buy this dog? Like, what is he loving on this dog for? its It's only in this scene. I think it's to show it's the movie showing look, they're not abused and neglected like other Greyhounds.
01:26:26
Speaker
They get pets. Oh, okay. It's so you don't feel too bad because I mean, this is a Greyhounds had a terrible still probably still do have a terrible life. He's like, they know they can't stop us.
01:26:37
Speaker
I mean them Right. Oh, did I say us? Oh, no, I'm not getting too deep. This is how it happens. It happens and then it's happening and then it happened.
01:26:48
Speaker
And that's what happened. And that's what happened. That's what happened. It's just happenstance. But this is where Tom Berringer is talking about like what you said earlier with him because they they're getting ready to jump again. He's just sitting on the edge of this plane with no parachute, which is terrifying.
01:27:01
Speaker
And everybody on the team is watching. I'm like, and they're all sort out back. Yeah, they're as far from the the bay as possible. And he's just like dangling his legs off like i knew I wasn't going to get it, but I wanted a scene of him like just to just to like ah to pump up Baldwin be like come get me um pump and fucking right right out of the plane wouldn't that been a sick ass scene like now he's gotta go very much like Yancey Butler does he has to redline it this is the only oh no I don't think Point Break 2015 had one either this is the only but besides that maybe this is the only one that doesn't have a a shootless skydive
01:27:40
Speaker
Because it's much more practical. It's a $9 million budget. Well, because these guys are skydivers, and never wrote that into the other script. And why do all these skydiving movies do that? Nobody would do it. That doesn't happen. Nobody does that.
01:27:52
Speaker
Oh, that's not wrestling. um But would he's given him this little speech, and it's what you were talking about earlier. He's like, it's not in the books that Cal reads or the mechanics that that star taught you.
01:28:02
Speaker
It's all about feeling the things that you can feel and and see how many things you can cut away. You got to cut away everything from your life, not just some of it. And have a bear. Stop having sex with that hot ass chick star.
01:28:15
Speaker
All right. Cut it away. Skywank. Cut it away. Cut it away.
Internal Conflict: Humor and Drama
01:28:23
Speaker
So there's more jumping and drug dealing or drug delivering.
01:28:27
Speaker
Montage. um You already established that term. Yeah, there's more drug jumping or drug shooting. And then we get to. Is this the bust?
01:28:38
Speaker
Yeah, well, yeah, because he calls there's a real quick thing where he calls ah Silver and he's like, hey, man, like there's this thing's going down, whatever this this is the one they're going to bust him on. Yeah.
01:28:49
Speaker
And he's been wearing a wire this whole time. And he's like the wire helps me stay connected. Yeah. it's because I'm losing myself as he is looking at himself in the mirror doing the poses.
01:29:00
Speaker
I'm going to golf clap Whitney because her delivery was better than fucking Baldwin's ever was. Cause he's like staring into the mirror. It connects me to everything. You, the jump, electricity, Felicity. What was I saying? I checked out. I'm so sorry. i Oh, we're doing a movie.
01:29:19
Speaker
Oh fuck. Yeah. Uh, see ya. yeah So there's this big party and they got a sky skydive onto the roof to deliver these drugs. um The cops are there. or The sorry overshot.
01:29:32
Speaker
We'll take the elevator up. Sorry. The customs agents are there listening, but there's interference because somebody else there is wearing a wire. Yeah. there's no time to gain tension because these guys land on the roof.
01:29:43
Speaker
and Do it really you can flip off. It's the FBI. FBI. You think the FBI is going to be okay with the U.S. Customs fucking up their their whole sting?
01:29:56
Speaker
Well, no, it's funny, too. People getting fired, man. The FBI guys come in and like ah Ron Silver comes in to try to stop them or like let them know that he's a shield out first. But he's got his gun and his badge and the guy's like, there's a gun.
01:30:11
Speaker
I know he held up his badge and he yelled U.S. Customs. The FBI was
Skydivers vs. Law Enforcement: Comedic Tension
01:30:14
Speaker
like, what? And that's why they- am a U.S. Customs agent. They fired because it was U.S. Customs. like, get the fuck out of here. did you Did you hear what he said? I think he said U.S. Customs agent. That's a really bad fake. If you're going to pretend to be anybody, don't be U.S. Customs agent. Shoot him. So it's not a fake.
01:30:31
Speaker
Why would somebody protect? It's not a fake? What do you mean? We have a customs agency? We give them guns? Yeah. We allow them to go undercover and skydive with guns.
01:30:42
Speaker
That's what's happening. This guy's getting paid to fucking skydive. It's awesome. But during the shootout, Ron Silver and Redline face off, holding the guns at each other.
01:30:53
Speaker
Vic jumps in and pushes Redline through this like glass window, which I guess is what caused his brain damage for the rest of the movie. Well, he slams down on the ground. Yeah, guess he lands pretty hard. Yeah. And they base jump off this thing, which is pretty fucking cool. These two dudes just plummeting.
01:31:08
Speaker
It's part of our opening video. If you guys watch this on YouTube or or like I said, I'm going to pop it up on a reel or something. Or give us a shot on Patreon. We have two different levels. We have a $3 level. Two. Which is called. Two levels.
01:31:23
Speaker
Fight the Ninja. Fight the Ninja. Yes. Yes. Fight the Ninja. And then the other one is. Under the gun. And you get ad free and extra bonus episodes when you do the five tier.
01:31:35
Speaker
Yeah, ad free if for only $5 a month. But like right after he drops off Redline and he gives him some pills, he goes back and Ron Silver's got a great thing. He starts coming. He's like, that's a police line.
01:31:47
Speaker
Don't cross it. Yeah. i I go very, very Bronson with it. Yeah. don't That's a police line. Don't cross it It's a hard thing to we're going to have to cover more Ron Silver because i like him and I want to work on that accent.
01:32:06
Speaker
It's but it's a kind of just a watered down Bernie Sanders.
Skydiving Competition Climax: Humor and Drama
01:32:09
Speaker
Yeah. And I just I can't. say My mouth just automatically turns into Bronson. Which I'm fine with. if Dude, if Bronson, hey, there's a line you'd cross. Don't cross it. That's what happens when it happens and it's happening.
01:32:21
Speaker
get it a swording I don't hear a difference. I think that is silver. it's like It's like when we were talking last night about our voices that come up for people who we don't have one for and it's almost always just Charles Bronson.
01:32:37
Speaker
It's an easy one to do. Sometimes I just, you know, i sometimes I like doing a Ray Romano or a Jay Leno, so I'll slip them whenever can. ah But like Baldwin here is like... That's a line you don't cross. It's happening. When it happens, it already happened. Deborah!
01:32:54
Speaker
Deborah, what's happening? Raymond, don't cross that line, Raymond. I'm going to cut away, Raymond. I'll cut you away. I wish I could cut you away.
01:33:06
Speaker
My brother's too tall to skydive. He jumps out of the plane. He already hit the ground. Is this thing on? But like Baldwin is like, you know, he you can't be mad at me because I still have my cover. He's like, no, your cover has you.
01:33:20
Speaker
Boom. but Because you crossed the line. Yeah, I'm your partner, not him. Yeah, son of a bitch. Put a gun in my face. Yeah, most important thing is my cover's all intact. like, no most important thing is I'm your fucking partner, and he pointed a gun at me.
01:33:35
Speaker
Yeah. So happy that you have your cover intact. You know what? Go back to having sex with that sky hippie. So basically he's like, I'm gonna go arrest your man. So Stephen Baldwin goes and and he's like, I'm quitting skydiving, but I'm not gonna quit you, Star.
01:33:49
Speaker
And she's like, yeah, you will. Cause if you could cut this away, you could cut me away. Cut away, cut away, cut away. Five shots, motherfucker. You can cut me away and away I'll be cut. I'll be cut in a way, anyway.
01:34:04
Speaker
And like Redline comes in and he's having a ah mental breakdown. He's like, yeah, just quit because you do it's not real. Nothing's real. All that's real is this is real. And then he like passes out. He is concussed.
01:34:16
Speaker
well because He should do should be at the hospital. Concussed. He's losing some blood. He chugged a bottle of fucking Rohypnol. I mean, he is loosey goosey right now. They have nationals tomorrow.
01:34:27
Speaker
I do like it where he's like, you don't think that I could quit or I want to quit? You think this is my fucking choice? Like, I i thought so until you said that. But he's just like, you can't quit this. It's the only thing fucking real.
01:34:38
Speaker
the The only way out is how Turbo went. Turbo took the only fucking way out of this life. The only way out in. You and we are tripped. So then I get really lost because like the crew is taking parachutes off of the
Skydiving Gear Confusion: Humorous Misunderstandings
01:34:52
Speaker
plane. Yeah, because I figured it out. It's because Redline is hurt. and So they're ye unpacking everything. Because like they're they're taking the stuff off and Vic comes up and the kid's like, yeah, everything's loaded up.
01:35:03
Speaker
But they're literally taking things off. Yeah. And then he's like, no, go get Redline and Distar. And he starts throwing them back on. And I was just like, Are we there's a missing scene here somewhere, but it doesn't matter because we need to cut to more skydiving. We've been we've been 10 minutes without skydiving right now.
01:35:22
Speaker
It's egregious. Can we please get a plane up in the air with people on it? Thank you. What's all this talkie talkie? We need jumpy jumpy. Jumpy jumpy. And I love when they go to this and it's all these people doing all these different shit, which is really cool. Like all the the parachutes stacked together to make the big pyramid and all that.
01:35:40
Speaker
But one of these people is skydiving with a dog and that dog looks like it's having the time of its fucking life. I've seen some videos of this before. Goodest that there's There was one recently that's like a dog's bucket list was to go in an airplane. i was like, that's stupid because that dog does not have a bucket list. And i look at the video, like, that dog is having the time of its life. It 100% wants to do this.
01:36:03
Speaker
There was, I saw a documentary of this guy. A dogumentary? A dogumentary. um And this guy was like, yeah, i rescued, it was like a border collie. It's like I rescued him. And one of the things that I always do is he face jumps and the dog would always be up ah left up there like watching and like kind of whining and so he was like fuck it and he tried it one time until one day the dog just jumped off and the dog fucking absolutely loved it like he steps and he's got god like he gets in the thing like all right let's let's go come on yeah that dog can jump on his own this is all you need
01:36:40
Speaker
He's got like a... Joe, when I rescue you, I'm going to kill you.
01:36:47
Speaker
um But yeah, it's the big meat. The Golden Knights, we find out, have been doing 13s in practice. I'm assuming this guy is a real skydiver. That's one of the announcers. I have to assume there's somebody excited. Like one of the 50 people that watched this when it premiered in USA Network was like, oh, that's Shmé from Wien Mufan. And he's a professional skydiver.
01:37:08
Speaker
I would love to see one of these, by the way. Just sitting like this, just woo. It looks hot and full of sun.
Skydiving with Animals: Absurdity and Excitement
01:37:16
Speaker
i just don't, it doesn't seem that exciting. Like watching the movies is exciting, but you're like, you're watching the skydiving and that's cool, but like they're so far away. Yeah, but they're doing cool shit up there.
01:37:25
Speaker
The technology is so much better to watch the shit up there from my fucking tablet. You know, when you go there, you're just like, look at that. Just some specks up there. Looks like somebody's having a sky wank.
01:37:38
Speaker
Why am I wet? That's why I brought my umbrella. Why is it salty? Honey, bring the tarps. You know how those Miami speedsters are. They're a bunch of meth addicts that skydive. You know they're having sky wanks.
01:37:53
Speaker
ah Guys, I think Boom Boom is back on the team because, ah well, that wasn't bird shit that just landed out on my car. Oh my god, a human oh shit could totally damage a car. Decimate your vehicle. was gonna say, it just wrecked your shit like Armageddon. Especially if it's from just eating straight protein powder. That's a solid rock.
01:38:11
Speaker
oh yeah, dude. It's like a fucking Hoover picking up kitty litter when he eats.
01:38:17
Speaker
But Casper Van Dien sees Vic and he's like, hey, man, how's your secret super undercover mission going? And Vic's like, shut the fuck up. What are you doing right now?
Character Rivalry and Dramatic Confrontations
01:38:27
Speaker
But it's not even that. like It's just like, did you find what you looking for? He's a little bit subtle, a little.
01:38:32
Speaker
But then Baldwin flips to such a degree, he was like, going to beat you, yeah bitch. ah why Why did we go right there? There was no escalation. As soon as he he's like, Air Miami is going to kick your ass. And he's like, the fuck you say to me?
01:38:46
Speaker
I was like, you don't want to piss off ah ah an angry man who has a gun that's given to him that he's allowed to carry all the time. All the time. This is the guy that's going to have a sky fight. He is unhinged. like Oh, yeah. He's the best. Well, it's because more skydive montage.
01:39:02
Speaker
And then after they get the 13 to 9 or whatever it was, 6-6, ah He picks up the walkie walkie and he's like, hey, red line, you know, that little little CB. Yeah, that little Vic Pearson's guy you got.
01:39:18
Speaker
And then up comes customs. i was like, what? So you were going to tell him that he's undercover and then just push him out of the plane. Like, well, where was your ending right here? his end game was them to fall apart if anything the jump doesn't happen i don't think he hopes he gets killed i think he hopes that they like punch each other and like you know what i'm not jumping with you cool you're disqualified the golden knights win again yeah i think that's what he's going for but i like if you throw somebody in a plane you better hope they don't have a parachute if you want to kill them i like when uh though when they're getting in each other's faces and he's like what happened to turbo and red line just comes out nowhere and he goes dead
01:39:53
Speaker
that from We killed him. But then fucking Baldwin escalates. He's like, yeah, he was too fucking slow, so we killed him. like what he does That's how much this shit means to me, dude. We saw it in a Drop Zone more than ven Vertical Terminosity, but like these guys have like a...
01:40:14
Speaker
a nonchalance about death. They have to because yeah shit happens. There was something I was reading and I didn't hear it in the movie. I expected to hear it because it was in like, i think it was in the trivia. Someone's talking about like a toast that they have, that skydivers have that's like blue skies, black death or something like that.
01:40:30
Speaker
Isn't that what they did in Drop Zone? I thought, yeah, Drop Zone had something like that. It was in the trivia for this though and it might have been why because someone was like, I don't know, it's Guy Manos. He wrote one of them.
01:40:41
Speaker
Oh, both of them. But like, yeah, so like their whole thing is like make light of it because shit happens, but we're going to keep jumping. You're literally dancing out with death every jump. You died doing what you loved, except for in Rodman's case. Dancing with my death. Why? Oh, Rodman didn't die doing what he loved. He died.
01:40:57
Speaker
just about to do what he loved what he loved was uh smoking cigars and fucking white bitches and there's nothing wrong with that lifestyle but van deen has like a a baby level freak out he's like you're gonna lose you're a loser loser loser i don't he didn't really he didn't react i don't know what to do i dropped my best lines i call him a loser twice maybe that's why he gets on the cb Yeah, when we do see Redline try to get on the wrong plane and it's like, well, this can't be good.
01:41:28
Speaker
This isn't good for anybody. And I think they're doing this so like it's not so sad when he releases his parachute at the end. They're like, yeah, he might have been dead anyway. hmm. But like there's definitely some brain swell. Yeah, because their first i think going up and down and all that fucking pressure, that's not helping.
01:41:46
Speaker
I didn't think about that. Their first jump, he's slow to get out and it kind of cost them a little bit, but they still do way better than any time we've seen in the movie. Yep. And then the army jumps and beats them by like one one hundredth of a second.
01:41:59
Speaker
And then we got round two and they get it go even faster.
Skydiving Competition Outcomes: Humorous Tactics
01:42:02
Speaker
But Vic is getting ah hot dog on them and he comes in hot dog and he hits the group and fucking hurts star and so she's like what the fuck is your problem cowboy yeah like yeah it's located my shoulder And then we have the fucking the army team goes and they have a great time.
01:42:23
Speaker
And that's where I got my opening from, though, because this fucking announcer guy, he's on there on TV. Holy sh. And I love that the other the the because he's like the color commentators. Then the professional guy next to him, the Bob Euchre, if you will, looks over and is just like, that was close.
01:42:42
Speaker
god You have Bob Euchre doing a skydiving competition. You just got another star. Just a bit outside. a bit outside. don't know how guys can lay off wins this easy.
01:42:56
Speaker
Only a tornado was asked to catch that one. If they would have had him doing the skydiving announcing, that would have completed our major league thing to such a degree. Oh, that yeah. It would have been insane.
01:43:09
Speaker
It also would bump up any movie.
01:43:13
Speaker
um The third round, they both fuck up. Casper Van Dien fucks up his his jump. And then Redline misses the grab. So it's all down to the last round. Are you guys surprised? I didn't know that's how the movie was going to go. No, neither did I. Shocked.
01:43:26
Speaker
Shocked.
01:43:30
Speaker
But the army goes out and does a fucking crazy shit. They get like less than 12 seconds. And they they're like 10, six or some just, I think it's like 11.6.
01:43:41
Speaker
Okay. But like we said at the top of this, like it is it's jumping exponentially fast. It is not just like, cause this guy, the, the, the shaving cream guy talks about it. He's like, well, they thought this was impossible. And you know, we're going to see some shit. We're to see someone gets a 15 and they're like, that would have been good.
01:43:59
Speaker
He's like, we're to see some records broken, but it's just fucking going fast. Well, yeah, that's the thing. He's like, that 15 was good last year. Yeah, not anymore. That was last year. Now we've found a way to get better meth in Miami.
01:44:13
Speaker
But up on the plane, ah it's Caligula is like, dude, there's no way because we fucked up. like Because the the last one, it was like 15 something for the army, but it was like 17 something for the Miami guys.
01:44:26
Speaker
So he's like, there's no way we can do this. Yeah, we have to get under 10. So it's over. And they're all sad. Stallone comes out. Nothing's over. But when when Ron Silver comes in, instead of saying.
01:44:37
Speaker
he's undercover he's like he's uh not a seven he's an eight ho but that's when uh tom baringer tells him he's like dude i know who you are i knew the whole time i thought i could save you i thought wait what what movie doing we thought i could save you that's all i thought was that part where it's like i knew the whole time i just thought i could save you we all do Don't make it a trope.
01:45:03
Speaker
So him and Redline and Vic are going to do the neck and neck jump to race down, try to cut some time.
Philosophical Skydiving: Motivations and Outcomes
01:45:10
Speaker
Because that worked really well last time. Yeah. Well, see, Turbo didn't do it because he didn't cut everything away.
01:45:16
Speaker
No, he still had a gold Rolex and a yellow Ferrari. He was he was doing it for the wrong reasons. He was doing it for the money. He was doing it for the Ferrari. He was. That's the thing. That's why Behringer, this fucking sky monk, was okay with his death. he's like He didn't really believe. like Yeah, he cut away, but he really liked the money and the skydiving.
01:45:36
Speaker
He needed both. the you know The adventure, the adrenaline. He's an adrenaline junkie, not a believer. But they do get do it. They hit a 9.9, but they have to hold the formation for five seconds. I think five seconds. Yeah. And this shit almost falls apart. Do they like and these guys are bags?
01:45:52
Speaker
Yeah, these guys. Undertaker and he's on his back. These skydiving stuntmen do a really good job. Either that or they just flip the camera. But you see the ground. so like Because they're all upside down, which can't be the safest way to be falling to the ground. Another sky duel.
01:46:08
Speaker
Oh, no, it's Casper Brandine. He's got steel chairs coming out of the sky.
01:46:14
Speaker
He's just flying down with a fucking chair. chair at 168 miles an hour. You're dead. He's dead. Somebody call his mama. Wait, did they take a watermelon up with them? No, that was Vic's head.
01:46:29
Speaker
He's doing his best, Gallagher.
01:46:32
Speaker
You're all in the splashone splash zone, splat. Honey, aren't you glad we brought those ponchos? Splat. We thought it was just for the Skyjacks and the Boom Booms.
01:46:44
Speaker
Turns out it's brain matter, too.
01:46:49
Speaker
What was that Vic guy's last name? Gallagher. I thought so. I thought so. I thought i thought so. Gallagher sounds right.
Skydiving Scene Finale: Humor and Resolution
01:46:54
Speaker
Casper Van Gallagher. um But yeah, they they they complete it.
01:47:00
Speaker
Vic keeps asking. He asks a Star. He's like, who won? And she's like, we did. And he's like, no, who won? And she's like, I don't know. So he like zips off to have another conversation. He like directs himself to, I'm going go over to this part of the party and have a conversation with red light did you not see that steering montage i am a skydiving agent and they do their like their legs interlocked yeah they do the tandem thing or not tandem but like the dual thing again and vick asks and he's like we won and he's like no but who won and red line says you did you're under arrest
01:47:36
Speaker
Yeah, you're under arrest. Redline releases his chute where he goes to do it and Vic's like, it's you're too low to pull your re reverset reserve chute. He's like, I'm not going to need it. Where we're going, we don't need reserve chutes. Splat! It should have been a fucking splat. It was not. Just Gallagher.
01:47:53
Speaker
um Let me take care of the special effects for this movie. And then he pulls his parachute. Splat! Splat! there's a family over there with ponchos. Splat. Yeah, because I don't know how high they were at this point. It's too low for the reserve chute, but that's still probably like 800 feet.
01:48:07
Speaker
Yeah. And he just plummeted down. going to help. And he he landed on that fucking, he landed, he bullseye on the landing pad. Well, he went straight for it. You saw it. He was like, bullet.
01:48:19
Speaker
But yeah, Tom Berenger is just taking a nap, dude. like there would be this His body would at least be contorted. Yeah. we We saw it bounce in vertical terminosity. We saw that body bounce.
01:48:32
Speaker
Yeah. Bodies don't bounce. They go splat. And the most USA this movie gets is when he... like from when he releases his shoot and then we have like the montage in Vic's head of all the scenes that he's had with Tom Berenger.
01:48:50
Speaker
I'm like, this is a made for USA movie. I did get Bernie. No, I didn't want him to die. Of course you got Bernie. No. He wanted him to die. he was i think darre i didn't even think about it. Derek's right. that Tom Berenger was dying.
01:49:07
Speaker
Yeah. Like, this was it. And you even touched on with the fucking air pressure ah altitude. Like, that's going to fuck with you, too. You're hemorrhaging already.
Character Fate Debate: Drama and Humor
01:49:15
Speaker
So, yeah, I think it was him just like, I'm not dying in a fucking jail cell.
01:49:19
Speaker
I'm dying on a fucking bullseye. Because we won the gold. And then the fucking flatline where he walks over and someone's like, who won between you two? And Baldwin's like, we did.
01:49:32
Speaker
I thought he said he did. No, he said we did. Because that's what everybody kept saying. It's hard to understand Stephen Baldwin with his little lips. I understand. No, because when he asked Star who won, she's like, we did. He's like, between us two. Then he asked Tom Berenger who won. yeah We did. It's like, no, between us.
01:49:49
Speaker
So when the crowd, the the group asked him, he's like, we did. Yeah. And then they're like, oh, you are part of us. And then then he's standing there ah facing actor activist Ron Silver.
01:50:04
Speaker
Just queefing into the camera. He's like, do I go to my cop family or do I go to Cut It Away and Sky family? Yeah. No hesitation, dude.
01:50:15
Speaker
Cutting away because he goes always like, all right, forget that fucking dead dude right there. Like we forgot the other dead dude back there earlier. Let's talk about next year. i saw this guy with Michigan group. He's not as fast, but I think we could teach him.
01:50:29
Speaker
Yeah, he starts talking about next year. I do 364 more days till fucking skydiving season. Got to toughen up. Real quick. It's funny because of our ah deduction of Boom Boom's name. Because I had written down the line because Boom Boom comes up to me. He's like, what's this all mean?
01:50:44
Speaker
And he's like, it means you're number two, which is very funny.
01:50:52
Speaker
um And we set up for a really good sequel. Cutaway 2, Boom Boom's Revenge. no Boom Boom Boogaloo?
01:51:06
Speaker
Electric Boom Galoo. ah but it's it's Because now you got fucking Baldwin who's like, he's the guru now. So what's he going to have to do? He's going to have to have some sort of like sex trafficking ring or rob banks or something. Well, in the end of this movie, this confuses me because. Yeah. So, okay. So is he going to get a arrested? Oh, they have a sponsor now.
01:51:30
Speaker
Yeah, but like but they don't have to do the thing anymore. Is it the guy from Point Break sequel? He cuts away and joins the skydiving people. Yeah, but the customs people know that he trafficked a bunch of drugs.
01:51:43
Speaker
So does he get arrested? Is he getting fired? Is this no do they? Does he have to tell everybody that he was undercover the whole time? or is he just going to continue living his life as Vic Pearson instead of Vic Cooper or whatever? You know what i mean? Like.
01:51:56
Speaker
I'm trying to catch all the sky drugs, guys. You don't understand. I can't leave. The end of this is a problem. They spent all this money on this operation. Turbo's dead. Redline is dead. The only person who's still alive is Vic.
01:52:10
Speaker
Well, he was an agent, but he definitely brought a bunch of drugs in and didn't arrest anyone. So cut cut scene, though. They have ah information now on like the cartel twins and yada yada. Yeah. OK, yeah. I guess he can give him that. All right. He can give him that. That's it.
01:52:27
Speaker
So that is the end of... We got a sky cutaway. No, not sky timber. We got to start with Whitney's fucking recommendation because she finished this movie and text our group, what did I just watch?
Final Thoughts on Skydiving Movie: Humor and Action
01:52:40
Speaker
So she's the wild card here.
01:52:44
Speaker
I fucking loved it. That's I was like, what did I just watch this fever dream of a like? I mean, I loved it in the sense that it was exactly what I wanted in a skydiving movie.
01:52:56
Speaker
More skydiving, less dialogue. Yes. Were plot lines dropped and picked up and dropped again like hot potato? Definitely. But did I follow along? Yes, I understood everything.
01:53:08
Speaker
um i even asked if I should get high first and I didn't. um But it's fun, sober. bet it's hilarious. Hi, I'm drunk. I wouldn't know.
01:53:21
Speaker
But I definitely recommend this. You get a full recommend for me. Since Jack brought this movie to us, I'll go next. We'll save him for the ah dismount. um I recommend it. i It's not a good movie, but it's a very fun movie.
01:53:36
Speaker
Like we talked about, like she said, the plot lines just reappear and disappear like fucking ninjas in the night. I think in my letterboxd. Selling cocaine in Miami. my God, I knew what was going to happen. In my letterbox review, I called it the most skydiving skydiving movie I've ever seen because that's what it is. It's a movie written and directed this time by the skydivers.
01:53:57
Speaker
So they're like, yeah, yeah, plot. Okay. Can we skydive now? Yeah. So it's it's a lot of fucking air pranks and they're really fun. and It's not as adrenaline. Like there's no cars dropping out of planes. There's no no shootless jumps. There's none of that. But...
01:54:13
Speaker
It is a lot of it. So if you enjoy watching people skydive and laughing at bad acting and trying to understand plot. The laughing at bad acting is very important, I think.
01:54:24
Speaker
Also, if you yeah you get some peaks of some sexy, nearly naked women. And sometimes naked. Yeah. Apparently. But yeah, so that's my recommendation. i don't need to say too much more than what you guys already said. i will say that I did recommend it to you guys, but then I was a little nervous today because I watched it mostly sober and I was like, fuck, dude, I hope this holds up. I hope but I didn't just recommend a stinker because Derek was texting me about watching at that point vertical terminosity.
01:54:54
Speaker
That's what you were watching. Oh, yeah. When you actually recommended this. Yeah. Yeah. Like when we when we were first, like a year ago now. But I was like, fuck, dude. I hope this stacks up because Vertical Terminosity and Drop Zone were fucking bangers.
01:55:05
Speaker
So I was like, well, damn, maybe I picked the stinker of the of the
Podcast's Love for Entertaining Bad Movies
01:55:09
Speaker
month. I didn't. No, you didn't. This is far from it. You guys touched on and ah on why it's so good. And yeah, full recommend.
01:55:18
Speaker
It's what this podcast loves. These are the bad movies we love. You can watch alone watch it with friends. It's not not it's it's the least it's it's the least a movie of those three movies. And that is fine. But we love those really cool kind of like ah Point Break, which was 2015, which we did not recommend. But this is like that.
01:55:36
Speaker
But without being so self serious, it's just a montage of people doing cool stunts. That movie could have been cool if everybody wasn't so brooding. And the lack of the lack of oversaturation in this one.
01:55:48
Speaker
Yes. You can tell what time of day it is. Yeah. Yeah. It's not always ah dusk and or dawn. Unlike that movie Surfer we watched with Matthew McConaughey. Sorry. Surfer, comet dude.
01:56:01
Speaker
Yeah. Stay tuned for that one one day. right. All right. All right. who Are we going to do January again? i did find out there were due I did find out that there were two more 1989 underwater disaster movies that I didn't know about.

It's kind of confusing. I looked it up on Just Watch, which is the app that we use to find this stuff out. And on the little thing, it said it was available on Tubi and a couple other places. But when I clicked it, it wasn't there. We talked about this before. So it's coming up. Maybe it's going to be there soon. Maybe it'll be there by the time this episode comes out.
01:57:09
Speaker
But even if not, it's on Prime. Oh, this is the first of the month. like this is wherere We're in the beginning of a new month recording-wise. It's out. Get out. It's not on Prime. Sorry. It's on Amazon and Apple.
