Overview of 'Hot Rod' - A Box Office Flop
00:00:49
Nicole Shine
We're back this week with Hot Rod 2007.
00:00:53

00:00:56
Nicole Shine
um We really like this movie.
00:00:59
Conor
Yeah, it's fucking stupid, but it's good.
00:00:59
Nicole Shine
what on the it's fucking so It's so fucking dumb, but it's so good.
00:01:04
Conor
Yeah, it's one of those type of movies.
00:01:06
Nicole Shine
Yeah, it makes me laugh every time. and it
00:01:09
Conor
Yep. We're laughing about it thinking about the scenes now.
00:01:12
Nicole Shine
I know, we haven't even... I know. So, directed in 2007 by Akiva Schaefer.
00:01:23
Nicole Shine
um It stars Andy Samberg, Isla Fisher, Jorma Tocone, I think. Bill Hader, Danny McBride, Will Arnett, Sissy Spacek, and Ian McShane.
00:01:36
Nicole Shine
The budget was $25 million, and it was kind of a
Cult Classic Status of 'Hot Rod'
00:01:40
Nicole Shine
bomb. It only made $14.4 million.
00:01:42
Conor
They did not make it.
00:01:43
Nicole Shine
But it's one those Saturday Night Live movies, and whenever, you know, Saturday Night Live movies,
00:01:50
Conor
They're hit or miss. Mostly miss.
00:01:51
Nicole Shine
most of them are misses. I mean, it just is what it is.
00:01:53
Conor
Yeah.
00:01:55
Nicole Shine
um But it's so fucking funny. And...
00:01:59
Conor
I feel like this one's like one those cult classics though. You know?
00:02:02
Nicole Shine
Yeah, it is like, yeah, it's one of those movies that kind of bomb at the box box office, but they become, like, cult classics or whatever.
The Unclear Time Period of the Film
00:02:10
Conor
Later on. Yeah.
00:02:10
Nicole Shine
Yeah, and it's another weird thing about this movie is you don't really know what time period it takes place in. It's like, like, this movie, I want to say this movie, Napoleon Dynamite, and a couple other movies where it's like, is it the 80s or is it, to like, the 2000s?
00:02:28
Nicole Shine
You know what i mean?
00:02:29
Conor
Yeah, are the people far behind or is it actually that decade?
00:02:29
Nicole Shine
Because it's like...
00:02:33
Conor
Yeah.
00:02:34
Nicole Shine
Yeah, because like they dress and kind of listen to music from the 80s, but then they'll have something that's from today, and you're like, what? like they'll have like In this movie, they have like YouTube or whatever, but like they dress and listen to music from the 80s, so it's it's weird.
00:02:41
Conor
Yeah.
00:02:53
Nicole Shine
But anyway, i not to think too hard about it.
00:02:53
Conor
Yeah, that's true.
Rod's Life & His Stunt Crew
00:02:58
Nicole Shine
But anyway, so um our main character, Rod, is a stuntman. Um, but he's kind of a loser. He still lives at home with his parents, or his mom and his stepdad, which we'll get to. But, um, he, um, he has a crew, which are his two friends, um, Dave, oh, what's the other guy's name?
00:03:20
Nicole Shine
Hold a Uh, um, Dave, oh, There you
00:03:27
Conor
There you go. Yeah, Rico.
00:03:27
Nicole Shine
Dave, Rico, and his half-brother, Kevin.
00:03:30
Conor
Yeah.
00:03:31
Nicole Shine
That's his crew. um His half-brother is kind of like the manager, his brother, Kevin. Dave, um well, Rico builds like all his like ramps and his props and stuff.
00:03:44
Nicole Shine
and No, Dave builds all his ramps and props and stuff, and Rico does like his pyro.
00:03:46
Conor
yeah
00:03:49
Nicole Shine
and know Yes, he has pyro. But, yeah, so um he's kind of he's a really bad stuntman.
00:03:53
Conor
Every stuntman should.
00:03:59
Nicole Shine
Like, in the beginning of movie, it shows him trying to do a jump, and he immediately fails. And he's like, nailed it. But it's funny, because every time he he'll miss a stunt, he'll be like, nailed it.
00:04:10
Conor
No.
00:04:11
Nicole Shine
So heat right now, his latest big stunt that he's going to do, he's going jump the pool. yeah. He's planning on jumping the pool. He's handing out flyers. And then there's this weird Asian guy named Richardson who keeps following him around. He, like, wants to join the crew.
00:04:28
Nicole Shine
And he's always, like, bothering them. Be like, let me join your crew. Like, don't know. It's just weird. It's like, what is the point of that character just to be weird? yeah yeah
00:04:37
Conor
Yes. What's the point of any of this movie?
00:04:39
Nicole Shine
ah no no, this movie has literally no point, but it's so good.
00:04:39
Conor
Jesus.
00:04:43
Nicole Shine
So anyway, um later that night, Rod goes, Rod and Kevin go home after his failed attempt of the day. And he goes home to fight Frank. Now, Frank, Frank is a stepdad.
00:04:53
Conor
Yep. Yep.
00:04:56
Nicole Shine
And he fights Frank because he feels like if he beats Frank in a fight, he'll have, he'll get his respect.
00:04:57
Conor
brain as
00:05:02
Conor
as though little fredrick
00:05:02
Nicole Shine
That's the whole point of him fighting Frank. And Frank is, first of all, all you need to know about Frank is Frank is Ian McShane.
00:05:05
Conor
yep
00:05:09
Nicole Shine
And Ian McShane is pretty much Ian McShane in every movie that he's in, and it somehow works in every movie. But if you've ever seen Deadwood, McShane is Al Spurgeon from Deadwood, and that's all you need to know about Frank.
00:05:25
Nicole Shine
And he's pretty much the same character, except for he says, fuck a lot less.
00:05:29
Conor
So,
00:05:31
Nicole Shine
So he fights, he goes down, he gets prepared, he puts on his pads and stuff, and ah his brother's like, why you have to keep fighting him, you know, he's gonna beat you and you don't need to keep fighting him and all this stuff and he's like well kevin he he's your real dad so he automatically has to love you i have to get earnest respect or whatever so he goes down to the basement he immediately like punches him in the face and gets his ass kicked frank kicks his ass basically and
Rod's Motivations and Love Interest
00:06:00
Nicole Shine
um he's like one i'm gonna beat your ass you're gonna respect me
00:06:06
Nicole Shine
So, ah and it's funny because they're like crashing around and all you hear is crashing and bumping into walls and falling over stuff.
00:06:14
Conor
all up that fronted pose
00:06:15
Nicole Shine
And the mom's just so, she's just like, oh, okay, whatever. Just let him, it was just
00:06:18
Conor
They're just playing. Like, she's just so oblivious to it. Yeah.
00:06:21
Nicole Shine
And the mom and sissy's face like that. But, um ah so he gets his ass beat. And then Frank, he has, he wears like a fake mustache because he can't grow a real mustache. He's like, I have a glandular problem.
00:06:33
Nicole Shine
Yeah.
00:06:33
Conor
Yeah.
00:06:33
Nicole Shine
So as they prank beats his ass, he takes his mustache and puts it on his eyebrows. it's like, take out the trash.
00:06:40
Conor
ah
00:06:41
Nicole Shine
So he goes to take out the trash. And we meet Denise, who's the love interest slash next door neighbor. She's not his love interest. like He has a crush on her. But she just kind of a you know sees him as a friend or whatever right now.
00:06:51
Conor
Yeah.
00:06:57
Nicole Shine
And so they kind of talk. He invites her to the pool jump. She's back from college, I guess. um And I know, they yeah these college students, i don't know about that.
00:07:07
Conor
34 year old college now. Yeah. have
00:07:12
Nicole Shine
At least his brother Kevin looks like he's actually young.
00:07:15
Conor

00:07:15
Nicole Shine
The rest of them look, yeah.
00:07:17
Conor

00:07:19
Nicole Shine
But um I like at the like when he's leaving, to her, he's like, you look shit you look pretty. She's like, what? He's like, you look shitty.
00:07:28
Conor
but
00:07:35
Nicole Shine
That was pretty funny.
00:07:36
Conor
Fuck.
00:07:39
Nicole Shine
but So, the day of the pool jump, Kevin's not there. And he's like, where's Kevin? But they go ahead and do the jump anyway. it's funny because they like to kick all the kids out of the pool.
00:07:51
Nicole Shine
Yeah,
00:07:52
Conor
The Asian dude won't leave.
00:07:54
Nicole Shine
they're like, get out of the pool, Richardson. He's like, if you let me join your crew, I will. He's like, what did you do?
00:08:01

00:08:13
Conor
And the camera pans between him and Bill Hader.
00:08:14
Nicole Shine
but and
00:08:17
Conor
And Hader's just like stunned. He's like, what what the fuck am I looking at?
00:08:20

00:08:29
Nicole Shine
And then Rico kicking all the kids of the pool. Get out of pool, little girl.
00:08:33
Conor
Rico gets some kind of satisfaction from that.
00:08:35
Nicole Shine
Oh, I love Rico.
00:08:36
Conor
Yup.
00:08:37
Nicole Shine
But, um, so he, they said, get everybody out of the pool. he does the jump. Denise shows up. He's like, please don't let me look dumb in front of Denise. And he does this thing where he's like spirit of a bottle.
00:08:49
Nicole Shine
No, he like calls on his like spirit animal guys.
00:08:52
Conor
because the
00:08:53
Nicole Shine
And he's like spirit of a bottle nose dolphin spirit of an eagle or whatever.
00:08:53
Conor

00:08:58
Nicole Shine
It's pretty funny. And one time he's like spirit of a house cat.
00:09:01
Conor
Yeah. What the fuck?
00:09:03
Nicole Shine
But anyway, he, of course, misses the jump, falls in the pool, and...
00:09:08
Conor
like very much misses the jump. He like goes down as soon as his bike leaves the ramp.
00:09:11
Nicole Shine
He immediately falls.
00:09:17
Nicole Shine
So, anyway, so he fails,
The $50,000 Stunt Plan
00:09:20
Nicole Shine
and then um he goes home, and it's funny when he walks in, he's like, Kevin, you missed the jump, totally nailed it. Yeah.
00:09:26
Conor
Ha ha ha.
00:09:28
Nicole Shine
But everybody's all huddled around Frank, and he's like, what's going on? and basically his mom's like, you know, um Frank's dying. He only has, I forgot how many months to live.
00:09:40
Nicole Shine
He needs a heart transplant. We can't afford it And it's funny because he's like, how would you keep how could you keep this for me? and he's like shes He's like, why didn't you tell me? She's like, well, I thought you couldn't handle it.
00:09:54
Nicole Shine
And he was like, well, how could you keep this from me and Kevin? She's like, oh, no, Kevin knew.
00:09:59
Conor
ah sir before that when she says that we thought you couldn't handle out it he goes i can handle it
00:10:08
Nicole Shine
And it's funny because he goes with Frank and he's like, Oh, he's like, you gotta live. I'm never gonna get to beat you in a fight. And he's like, well, I guess you'll never get to beat me then. He was like, he's like, let's go right now.
00:10:17
Conor
the
00:10:20
Nicole Shine
He's like, it wouldn't mean anything. Be i close on death's door or whatever. It's so funny. he's like oh god He's like, oh, I would get you better so I could beat the shit out you.
00:10:30
Conor
I think
00:10:33
Nicole Shine
But anyway, so he gets all mad and he goes off. This is those funny. He rides off into the woods.
00:10:40
Nicole Shine
I'm laughing because I can't even get it out. And he does this, like, eighty It's very 80s, like, when somebody has, like, an emotional moment and they play, like, the emotional ballad, whatever. And he starts, like, dancing in the woods.
00:10:53
Conor
Like, think of the scene from Kevin Bacon in Footloose in that, like, old factory, but just change it to a forest.
00:11:02
Nicole Shine
Yeah, he's, like, dancing around, smoking, music playing. And then he starts doing those flips.
00:11:08
Conor
Yeah, but never, never, never, never.
00:11:08
Nicole Shine
like nop It was just obvious stuff, man. Never, never gonna take ya.
00:11:10
Conor
Yeah. Yeah. never
00:11:14
Nicole Shine
It's so funny. It just stresses on this one. so And then, like, at one time, he goes to do a flip, and he falls.
00:11:17
Conor
yeah
00:11:22
Conor
He ends up flipping down this like ridiculous long slope.
00:11:25
Nicole Shine
This is amazing. Yeah, this is like mountain that he falls down. And he falls for such a long time in a movie. Like, in real movie time, it's like five minutes.
00:11:35
Conor
so
00:11:37
Nicole Shine
He's like, oh, oh, oh. Like, you think he's going to stop falling and he just keeps fucking falling.
00:11:43
Conor
And then at one point, he goes, up
00:11:48
Nicole Shine
But after he's done with his long ass fall, he sees this billboard and it says something about one big jump or something like that.
00:11:57
Conor
Yeah.
00:11:57
Nicole Shine
he's like, that's it. So he gets the inspiration to say, Frank, he's going to do one big jump.
00:12:04
Conor
Yep.
00:12:04
Nicole Shine
going to raise the money so he can do a big jump and get, the because of Frank's operation is $50,000. Which, what kind of heart?
00:12:09
Conor
All this so he could beat his ass and earn his respect.
00:12:12
Nicole Shine
Yeah, so he can beat his ass. Yeah. Yeah.
00:12:14
Conor
Stupidest premise ever, but it works.
00:12:15
Nicole Shine
Yeah, it works.
00:12:16
Conor
Trust us. It works.
00:12:20
Nicole Shine
So the way it's put together, it's really, it works.
00:12:23

Nicole Shine
So they do, they decide they're going raise the money he's going to hire himself out for like birthday parties and, you know, different parties and people can hire him out to do stunts and they'll raise the money to to do the jump.
00:12:40
Conor

00:25:10

00:25:12
Nicole Shine
I love that. You're going to make the demons come out of me, boy. And the, um, The part where it was another part I can't think of that we like that we've skipped over. But it's it's so many good ones in here that it's just, oh, where they were talking about their plan to save Frank and Dave had to go to work.
00:25:35
Nicole Shine
So he was following him around.
00:25:35
Conor
Oh.
00:25:37
Nicole Shine
Dave had to go work at the bowling alley. And he's like following him the Yeah.
00:25:42
Conor
Oh, yeah. It was like right when Rod was telling them their plan. Yeah, to save Frank.
00:25:47
Nicole Shine
And it's funny because they're like the whole team is like following him around while he's doing all his bowling alley tasks, like cleaning the shoes and resetting the thing, taking out the track.
00:25:54
Conor
Taking out the trash.
00:25:59
Conor
Oh, God.
00:25:59
Nicole Shine
Anyway, so all his dumb ass stunts. So he um he's like um walking in one day and he sees like Kevin like editing the footage.
00:26:11
Nicole Shine
And he's he's like, oh, this is awesome. And he's like, yeah, I'm just making a little movie. I'm making, a you know, you after. Oh, yeah, he caught Kevin singing ah karaoke to his stuffed animals.
00:26:24
Conor

00:26:33
Nicole Shine
He had all his stuffed animals on the bed. He's like singing cat George Michael to him. It was hilarious. He's like, what are you doing, Dusty?
00:26:40
Conor
No, then.
00:26:41
Nicole Shine
But, um yeah, so he's like, us so it gives him another idea. He's like, we can put all this footage together and screen it like a movie, and that will help us raise the rest of the money.
00:26:52
Nicole Shine
So they put that together and have a screening at this theater and um selling tickets to raise the rest of the money. And um they start showing the footage.
00:27:06
Nicole Shine
Frank's there, the mom's there, everybody's there and Richardson. And when they um start showing the footage, people start laughing because he's fucking ridiculous.
00:27:13
Conor
showing something repeat
00:27:16
Nicole Shine
Like all he does is fucking his stunts are stuck and all he does is get hurt.
00:27:17
Conor
Yeah. Like his friends are, you know, not going tell him the truth or whatever.
00:27:23
Nicole Shine
Well, no, his friends aren't laughing. It's just the the rest of the audience.
00:27:27
Conor
Yeah. I think his friends like think he's awesome.
00:27:29
Nicole Shine
Yeah, because even when people are laughing, Richardson was like, stop laughing at Rod. You know what like yeah and frank Of course, Frank was laughing his ass off.
00:27:33
Conor
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, right.
00:27:37
Nicole Shine
But Frank's such a dick.
00:27:39
Conor
Frank's a dick.
00:27:41
Nicole Shine
Like, all through the movie, like, different parts throughout the movie, he's, like, trying to have these heartfelt moments with him. He's like, oh, Frank, I'm gonna get you better or whatever.
00:27:47
Conor
Right.
00:27:50
Nicole Shine
He's like, pussy. Under his breath. Like, because they had dinner one night, and the mom's like, all right, it's the first time that your dad's been able to sit with us, you know, no fighting or whatever.
00:28:03
Nicole Shine
And he's like, what? he's like, Kevin can fight him. He's like, I promise not to fight him. And, like, he's, like, saying stuff to Rod. He's like, oh we're we're raising the money, it's you know, to get you better, Frank. And he's like, you you know, being making smart-ass comments under his breath. And he's like, you are the devil. Yeah.
00:28:25
Nicole Shine
And then he, like, slams the door. He's like, have fun being married to Satan.
00:28:33
Nicole Shine
So, yeah. But, um, so that Rod, after everybody's laughing at Rod gets all mad and, like, takes the projector thing and throws it and breaks the glass.
00:28:44
Conor
Because he can't figure out how to turn it off, so he just takes it, throws off a fucking window.
00:28:48
Nicole Shine
Yeah.
00:28:51
Nicole Shine
So he ends up having to spend all the money that they raised to replace their projector so he don't go to jail.
00:28:58
Conor
And they were there, man. Like, they were totally there, I think.
00:29:00
Nicole Shine
Yeah.
00:29:01
Conor
Yeah.
00:29:02
Nicole Shine
So they're back to square one.
00:29:05
Conor
Yep.
00:29:06
Nicole Shine
So he goes home that night and his mom's like, okay, I finally got, I got to tell you the truth. So basically, his dad was not a stunt. i forgot what he did for a living, but he wasn't a stuntman.
00:29:17
Nicole Shine
had just took that picture um with Evel Knievel because he had came to his job, and he took a picture with everybody at the job.
00:29:23
Conor

00:29:25
Nicole Shine
And he really died in a pie-eating contest.
00:29:29

00:29:34
Nicole Shine
He was like, how'd he die? She was like, he choked on a piece of pie. She was like, he really wanted to win that contest.
00:29:44
Nicole Shine
So Rod gets all mad. He's like, well, if my dad wasn't a stuntman, means I'm not a stuntman. This is where we get the part in the movie, the dejected down part of the movie or whatever.
00:29:55
Conor
Goes in his room, rips up the, you know, some posers.
00:29:57
Nicole Shine

00:29:59

00:30:06
Nicole Shine
You know I have a glandular problem.
00:30:08
Conor

And he's like, are you really writing it down are you just waving your finger in the air?
00:36:46
Conor
Yeah.
00:36:50
Conor
Which he was.
00:36:52
Nicole Shine
He's like, no, I'll give her the message. And then like he hangs up he gets the center the music plays and he gets that look. And she was like, who's that? He's like, wrong number or whatever.
00:37:04
Nicole Shine
So...
00:37:06
Nicole Shine
so He's going, so finally, it's the day of the jump. um I like when they gave Richardson the flyers to hand out. And he's like, just running, just assaulting people with the flyers.
00:37:19
Nicole Shine
Cause everybody like putting flyers up and he's like taking like stacks of flyers and like throwing them at people and then doing his dance.
00:37:19
Conor
Oh, yeah.
00:37:26
Conor
ah
00:37:30
Nicole Shine
And then like Kevin's watching on a video and it's just Richardson like all of the camera. Yeah.
00:37:38
Conor
but
00:37:39
Nicole Shine
But anyway, it's so dumb. But um so it's the day of the jump. And the crew comes to Rod's house. And they all walk to the place together where he's going through the jump. And it's funny because it's like a motivational song.
00:37:53
Nicole Shine
And like its you know it's the scene in the movie where they play the most inspirational music. And everybody walks to the jump or whatever.
00:38:00
Conor
The slow walk.
00:38:01
Nicole Shine
Slow walk. And they're looking around because more and more people start following them. And they get to downtown and all of a sudden a fucking riot just breaks out.
00:38:11
Conor
This one guy breaks off and throws like a fucking rock in a window.
00:38:13
Nicole Shine
back in the window And then everybody starts rioting and fighting and chaos breaks out and fires and police come and start tear gassing people and shit.
Preparation for the Big Jump
00:38:24
Nicole Shine
And then they get to where the um they get to where the jump is and they're like, oh god, was that because of us? It was like it started out really positive and it just got crazy.
00:38:35
Nicole Shine
And then we cut to Rico. He got a TV in his hand. He's like, man, there's just no telling what people will do when that kind of situation breaks out.
00:38:40
Conor
but
00:38:42
Nicole Shine
He's on the TV. But, um, so they sell him. They give him, um, they fixed his bike and put it, give him, it was it wasn't a new bike.
00:38:52
Nicole Shine
They, like, put, like, hydraulics or some shit on it or
00:38:56
Conor
Yeah, they souped it up. That was it.
00:38:59
Nicole Shine
Yeah, got him a new suit. Rico hooked him up some, um, some new, um, pyro and yeah they got a rock band playing and it's you know they got the telethon going and people were calling in
00:39:06
Conor
Yeah. spared no expense.
00:39:17
Nicole Shine
and frank and mom were at home listening on the radio am because it was funny because it was on the news and it was like and it'll only be on our botchie by a local radio uh am radio they had to cut their am on
00:39:20
Conor
Yep. Yes, i AM.
00:39:29
Conor
ha
00:39:31
Nicole Shine
and um so denise is riding um oh yeah she hears it on the radio well because she's in the car with jonathan and he's like why do you hang out with those dorks or whatever and she's like i like those dorks or whatever and um finally he's like i'm gonna go inside we say they stopped at a store he's like i'm gonna get us some um
00:39:57
Conor
Jimmy hat so we can bone later.
00:39:58
Nicole Shine

00:39:58
Conor
or something oh damn it what did he yeah a dog bags
00:40:06
Nicole Shine
yeah
00:40:10
Nicole Shine
He was like, yeah, I'm going, he's like, want me to get some dong bag so we can knock boots later.
00:40:15
Conor
ah ah that's sexy
00:40:21
Nicole Shine
And then he was on the way there. He's like, well, I think I ran over a squirrel. I got tell Sullivan. Yeah.
00:40:28
Nicole Shine
so
00:40:29
Conor
think he wants Sullivan to see your dong tag.
00:40:30
Nicole Shine
So, like, when that and when he was in the stores when she heard the thing on the radio, and he came out, and she he was going to, and she she finally got, gets tired of him, and like, I'm done, or whatever.
00:40:34
Conor
Yeah.
00:40:43
Conor
Yeah.
00:40:43
Nicole Shine
and um it's so funny, because she's leaving. He's like, babe, wait, babe.
00:40:50
Nicole Shine
Babe, wait, babe.
00:40:51
Conor
Wave, babe.
00:40:52
Nicole Shine
Like, he doesn't chase after He just, like, stands there and's like, babe, wait.
00:40:56
Conor
Different poses in his car.
00:40:56
Nicole Shine
No, babe. No.
00:40:57
Conor
He's like, babe. Babe, babe, wait, no, no, babe, babe, babe, babe.
00:40:59
Nicole Shine
Babe, babe, babe, wait. No, babe, wait. Babe, wait. Babe.
00:41:08
Conor
ah
00:41:08
Nicole Shine
So dumb.
00:41:09
Conor
It's really dumb.
00:41:11
Nicole Shine
So she's off to go to the rest of the team. She gets there. And, um you know, everybody's, Ry's starting to get scared now. Because he's like, oh, shit, this is a real, like, I could die if I don't make this.
00:41:22
Conor
Yeah.
00:41:22
Nicole Shine
It's not like my other stunts where I just get hurt. Like, I'll fucking die if I don't make this. And um so Denise shows up, and she kind of he's kind of nervous.
00:41:34
Nicole Shine
He's like, what am I doing? I don't know what I'm doing, all this stuff. And she kind of gives him a kiss, and that motivates him to so risk his life, I guess.
00:41:42
Conor
To risk his life. For that ass.
00:41:45
Nicole Shine
And it's funny, because Rico's like, why is Rod kissing his sister?
00:41:49
Conor
Oh, gosh.
00:41:49
Nicole Shine
And they were like, that's not his sister. He's like, well, my whole worldview is totally shattered right now.
00:41:57
Nicole Shine
But he goes, he does the jump, and he he makes it over the busters, but when he lands, he crashes hard and, like, gets thrown in um and gets knocked unconscious off his
The Big Jump & Earning Respect
00:42:14
Nicole Shine
bike.
00:42:14
Conor
Yeah.
00:42:15
Nicole Shine
Because at first he's like, I'm going to make it. Because he does his soul of an eagle. ah Soul of a battle there.
00:42:19
Conor
He does like three or four of them, right?
00:42:21
Nicole Shine
Yeah. And he looks like he gonna make it and then he gets like up in the air and he's like, oh shit, I'm not gonna make it.
00:42:27
Conor
You see that he's like smiling and is like, he's one place and his bike is another.
00:42:34
Nicole Shine
No, he gets knocked unconscious and it's funny because while he's unconscious, like the the chalithine thing stop and they're like, why does the number stop? And they're like, people I guess people are trying to see if he's gonna make it or whatever.
00:42:47
Nicole Shine
And then while he's unconscious, he has a vision of the grilled cheese and the taco fighting.
00:42:57
Nicole Shine
And it was the taco, the grilled cheese wins because it's regular rules.
00:43:02
Conor
Yep. Yep.
00:43:04
Nicole Shine
so um So, he kind of gets, he he comes back to, um and he's like, oh Stand me up or whatever.
00:43:16
Nicole Shine
and he puts his arm up kind of like victory. And then ah the numbers start going again. And Denise and Kevin help stand him up. And they're like, you probably shouldn't move. He's like, no, I definitely have like 20 broken bro.
00:43:30
Nicole Shine
But he's like, he stands up anyway. They stand him up anyway. And he told Denise she was white right. The grilled trees won. And they they get to the $50,000. And it's funny because the rate the AM guy was like, we have raised enough money for Frank's conveniently-priced surgery.
00:43:49
Conor
The price. ah
00:43:52
Nicole Shine
Oh, I love the part where like Rob was signing autographs before he was about to do the jump. And he told the kids, he's like, don't let your dads eat pie.
00:44:03
Nicole Shine
He said, don't be like Frank and don't let your dads eat pie.
00:44:07
Conor
Oh, God.
00:44:07
Nicole Shine
And um ah so, he got the, we got $50,000. So, it cuts to six months later. Because, like, while they were training, Denise was teaching Rats how to do Tai Chi.
00:44:20
Conor
Yep.
00:44:21
Nicole Shine
And, like, one of the moves, like, she was showing him the slow push and Zen Tai Chi moves. And he's like, okay, Sensei. She's like, you don't have to call me Sensei.
00:44:33
Conor
It's like, okay, Shate.
00:44:33
Nicole Shine
but But he was like, okay, why don't we start with this kiddie stuff? And you know he's like, is there a move that will make someone crap themselves if you hit them? And she's like, right, I'm not going to lie. There is a move like that, but I don't think you're ready.
00:44:47
Nicole Shine
And she's like oh he's like, we can start with the kiddie stuff and you can teach me the crap yourself move. So she does it on him.
00:44:56
Nicole Shine
and was like well it totally didn't work and she's like he wanted to see it right he's like yeah and it didn't work but he obviously shit himself he's like i told you to tell me and it didn't work he's like well i'm gonna go home now and he's like walking off on and later you see him like doing laundry so it's six months later and he's getting ready to fight frank again and kevin's like oh he's
00:45:02
Conor
You can tell he's carrying a load.
00:45:22
Nicole Shine
The doctor says he has ah a heart of a 20-year-old now. You you know, you're going to try to fight him or whatever. And, like, he goes down. He's actually started growing his own little mustache or whatever.
00:45:34
Nicole Shine
and he goes and they start. He goes down there and start fighting. And Frank is getting the better of him at first. But then he gets the better of Frank. And, like, they, like, ah fight through the damn wall.
00:45:46
Nicole Shine
Like, everybody's in the backyard grilling out. And the mom's just like, just let them. You know, they're just playing.
00:45:50
Conor
I know, right? They'll work it out.
00:45:51
Nicole Shine
or
00:45:51
Conor
It's fine.
00:45:54
Nicole Shine
And Rod finally beats his ass. And then he does the crap yourself move on him. And that's the end. He's like, he like puts his hand up of, like, victory. No, he's like, say you respect me.
00:46:06
Nicole Shine
And he's like, i respect you, son. And and he puts his head a hand up and does the, like, victory thing and does the crap yourself move on him.
00:46:13
Conor
Yeah.
00:46:13
Nicole Shine
And it goes off.
00:46:14
Conor
Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
00:46:14
Nicole Shine
Yeah.
00:46:17
Conor
Oh, wait. Didn't he say, um... No. Say, I'm a man. I'm a man.
00:46:21
Nicole Shine
Yeah, he sam a man yeah he's he's like, you're a man, son.
00:46:22
Conor
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's what was. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. And he goes to shake his hand.
00:46:27
Nicole Shine
i Because cause like at one point earlier, Frank was like, the reason that he does that, treats him like that, is he's like, well, I'm not going to be around about to die, and you're to have to be a man around here, and you act like a kid all the time, or whatever.
00:46:28
Conor
Yeah.
00:46:38
Conor
Yeah. Right.
00:46:41
Nicole Shine
So, but yeah, so that was but the end. Like, this movie, it's just a whole bunch of funny scenes put together, and they use the
00:46:48
Conor
It's just a bunch of skits. Yeah.
00:46:50
Nicole Shine
Yeah, they shoot, they use the dad's dying, gotta save him as the catalyst to do all this dumb shit.
00:46:57
Conor
Yeah.
00:46:57
Nicole Shine
But...
00:46:58
Conor
Yeah.
00:47:00
Nicole Shine
But it's so, I mean, this movie is so fucking
Reflecting on 'Hot Rod' as a Cult Classic
00:47:04
Nicole Shine
funny. Like, it's funny from the moment it comes on to the moment it goes off.
00:47:04
Conor
ye
00:47:08
Nicole Shine
It's so fucking funny.
00:47:10
Conor
It really is.
00:47:11
Nicole Shine
Um, alright, so... Favorite character?
00:47:19

Nicole Shine
For this movie.
00:47:22
Conor
Yeah, they're they're all so good.
00:47:25
Nicole Shine
There's so many good ones.
00:47:26
Conor
i know.
00:47:27
Nicole Shine

00:47:30
Conor
um might do. Part of me wants to just say the Asian dude for his fucking ridiculous dancing.
00:47:35
Nicole Shine
Oh, we're just saying?
00:47:39
Conor
ah That gets me every time.
00:47:43
Nicole Shine
I like Frank Enrico and I can't.
00:47:46
Nicole Shine
I like them both, but probably Rico, probably because he was part of the crew.
00:47:48
Conor
Yeah. Yeah.
00:47:51
Nicole Shine
Just because he gonna make the demons come out of me, boy.
00:47:54
Conor
Yeah, you crack up every time we watch that part.
00:47:56
Nicole Shine
her so And then the part where him and Kevin were dancing to Stacey Q, and he kept pushing them into the fucking van.
00:48:03
Conor
Yeah! Fucking slam them into the fucking van.
00:48:04
Nicole Shine
Hey, little girl, I don't like ri ah Cherry. Yeah, yeah, it's Rico. It's Rico.
00:48:13
Conor
Oh, shit.
00:48:15
Nicole Shine
Who's yours? You said Richardson, right?
00:48:18
Conor
Either him or Rod. Yeah.
00:48:20
Nicole Shine
Oh, Alright, who's your least favorite character?
00:48:21
Conor
Yeah.
00:48:26
Nicole Shine
This movie, I don't... I don't have a least favorite.
00:48:27
Conor
I don't have a lease.
00:48:29
Nicole Shine
It's so good.
00:48:30
Conor
The only lease one I have is maybe Babe. Babe, wait. Just because he's the bad guy, you know?
00:48:34
Nicole Shine
Yeah. Yeah, but he was even funny. yeah
00:48:37
Conor
Yeah. So there's, it's only for the story that I, he's my quote unquote at least favorite character.
00:48:39
Nicole Shine
Yeah.
00:48:42
Nicole Shine
Yeah.
00:48:45
Nicole Shine
This is one of those movies where everybody's so... Like, you like... ah Even the characters you're not supposed to like are funny. Yeah, when did this picture,
00:48:52
Conor
Like there's, yeah, like I feel like when we do this, who's your least favorite? It's for characters that are like just annoying and you're like, I'm so happy when their scene's over.
00:49:01
Nicole Shine
no,
00:49:02
Conor
But no, everyone's just at 10 in my, yeah.
00:49:05
Nicole Shine
everyone good. everybody's so good in this. um And everybody has a purpose.
00:49:10
Conor
Right, exactly.
00:49:11
Nicole Shine
So, yeah, just just because he's supposed to be the bad guy, maybe Jonathan, but we we needed a bad guy.
00:49:16
Conor
Yeah.
00:49:18
Nicole Shine
So, um let's see.
00:49:18
Conor
Yeah.
00:49:22
Nicole Shine
Does the movie hold up?
00:49:23
Conor
I think it does, but I feel like we're in a niche market.
00:49:28
Nicole Shine
Yeah, um...
00:49:30
Nicole Shine
If you like absurdist comedy, you'll like this movie.
00:49:34
Conor
Yeah.
00:49:36
Nicole Shine
If you're thinking you're going to watch any kind of drama or any kind of...
00:49:36
Conor
Yeah.
00:49:42
Conor
A regular comedy or.
00:49:43
Nicole Shine
yeah yeah it's a very dumb comedy.
00:49:47
Conor
Yeah.
00:49:48
Nicole Shine
But it's funny because a lot of those Saturday and Night Live movies are not funny.
00:49:52
Conor
Yeah.
00:49:53
Nicole Shine
They just take a skit from them and try to stretch it out.
00:49:56
Conor
That was perfect.
00:49:58
Nicole Shine
yeah
00:49:58
Conor
Yeah, that was perfect for a minute skit, you know, on 30 minute show.
00:50:00
Nicole Shine
e
00:50:02
Conor
But then they, yeah, like you said, tries to stretch it to an hour and a half and it just doesn't transition well. But I think this one does.
00:50:08
Nicole Shine
yeah yeah this movie's only 88 minutes it knows what it is it knows what i what it's doing there's no wasted um there's no wasted side plots or anything like that
00:50:17
Conor
Yeah.
00:50:22
Nicole Shine
um
00:50:23
Conor
Gets in, does the funny, gets out.
00:50:25
Nicole Shine
yeah like Yeah, you might say, okay, the crew, maybe they're not developed characters or anything like that, but um they don't have to be.
00:50:33
Nicole Shine
That's not what this...
00:50:33
Conor
Yeah.
00:50:33
Conor
ah
00:50:34
Nicole Shine
This movie is not that.
00:50:36
Conor
Right.
00:50:36
Nicole Shine
So, um... Yeah, I think it does.
00:50:40
Conor
Yeah.
00:50:42
Nicole Shine
Okay. See That is this week.
00:50:46
Conor
Woohoo.
