Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile.

Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back.

So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills.

But it turns out that's very illegal.

So there goes my big idea for the commercial.

Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch.

A prompt payment of $45 for a three-month plan equivalent to $15 per month required.

New customer offer for first three months only.

Speed slow after 35 gigabytes if network's busy.

Taxes and fees extra.

See mintmobile.com.

F1 stands for F yeah,

the Simpsons.

Stealing from Surf2

and a very cheesy Stallone.

All this and more on this week's How Did This Get Made?

Last Looks, hit the theme.

Last looks,

last looks.

Say something before it's gone.

Because it's Last Looks, Last Looks.

This is the opening song.

Well, after this one, Paul moves on.

Hello, all my surf zombies.

It puts the lotion in the basket.

I'm Paul Scheer, and welcome, welcome to How Did This Get Made?

Last Looks, where you, the listener, get to voice your issues on Surf 2, a movie that honestly, I mean, it just grossed us out.

We were utterly disgusted by this movie, but also kind of loved it.

I tell you that Aaron Renee, one of our Discord users, thought the movie should have had the tagline, Surf 2, Greece 3,

Eugene's Revenge.

I love it.

Thank you, Aaron Renee, for that alt tagline.

Remember, if you have an alt movie tagline or a title, submit it to us on our Discord and we might just read it on the show.

All right, it is 4th of July, people.

So we'll be hearing all your corrections and omissions on Surf 2.

There's not going to be a lot of them because a lot of you people.

are out on vacation, living the life, not trying to correct us, just letting us live.

But we will get to those corrections and omissions.

Plus, we have a deleted scene from last week's episode, which you're going to love.

And jason's not here he's also on vacation it's just me fresh home from f1 which i loved it's the best uh ha ha i mean yes is the bad guy a little complicated to understand sure but I don't care.

It's like Top Gun Maverick, but dumber, but in a way that makes it better.

I don't know.

I'm still processing it.

Anyway,

we have so much to get to, but we'll also reveal next week's episode.

But before we get too far into things, I have to give a shout out to Quinn.

Quinn, I love that opening theme song.

That was so good.

Good for you.

Good for all of you.

I love doing the show every week, week after week.

I am here for you and you are here for me because you deliver the best last look episode themes in the world.

No one else has as good themes as we do.

So keep them coming.

Just go to httgm.com.

That's our website.

There's a little button there.

You hit submit a song, and that's how you could submit songs to this.

It's easy.

Keep them short, though, right?

Brevity is the soul of wit.

And I believe that was said by Michael Bay.

All right.

Next week, Pacific Northwest, you've been warned.

Dinosaur Improv is coming to Seattle.

and Portland.

July 9th at the Neptune Theater.

July 10th at the Portland Theater, which is also the Aladdin theater I like to call it the Portland Theater we'll be at the Aladdin on the 10th and we'll be at the Neptune on the 9th joining us is E Patterson from the righteous gemstones and resident alien it's going to be me Jason Edie Hubel Seth Morris, Carl Tart, Owen Burke, Chad Carter, and then get ready.

How did this get made?

We'll be in Vancouver on the 12th.

Okay, we have changed locations.

Repeat, how did this get made?

And Vancouver has changed locations.

You should have been notified by your ticket, seller, broker, whatever you call the people you buy tickets from.

We are now at the Vogue Theater,

and we might,

as of this recording, be completely sold out.

So, heads up, Vancouver is at the Vogue theater now.

We cannot wait to see you.

And we'll be talking about the 2001 Sylvester Stallone car racing drama driven, which will not live up to my F1 IMAX experience.

Oh, man.

You know, we have two IMAX theaters, like true IMAX theaters in L.A.

One's on City Walk.

One is at the Kodak Theater, the Dolby Theater, the big one, Mann's Chinese Theater is what I call it.

And I got to tell you this, beautiful IMAX, great sound, saw RRR there, seen a lot of movies there.

Concessions suck ass there.

They're terrible concessions.

It's like the concessions are trapped in 1984.

I don't get it.

I don't get why the concessions are so bad there.

Anyway, that's just a shout out to a very specific problem that I have with one of the only two IMAX theaters here.

And I know there's these other theaters.

Oh, we have, oh, IMAX presentation.

It's not IMAX.

It ain't IMAX, buddy.

It ain't IMAX.

Anyway.

If you haven't heard,

this is going to be too abrupt of a change of tone here.

you know, we have been celebrating bad movies for over 15 years on this show, and one of the reasons why this show is so good is our movie picks.

And

the main person responsible for these amazing movie picks has been, uh, for as long as I can remember, Averill Halley.

Averill Halley is one of our movie picking producers.

I mean, she is our movie picking producer, and um, she is going through a battle right now with brain cancer, and you know, she has asked for some love um that's really one of the most beautiful things if that tells you anything about avril it's uh it should tell you everything um we were hoping that if you have a second you could send her an email some fan art just something to brighten her day at andrew at movie bitches dot xyz

uh you can send it right to andrew at movie bitches.xyz just a little note even checking in if you've done it before and if you want to send her something nothing perishable and nothing scented, you can send it to Avril Halley, P.O.

Box 641-Agora Hills, California, 913-76.

Avril is truly one of the kindest, nicest people I have met.

I've loved my time working with her.

We can't wait to have her back.

Just, you know, if you have a second, send her some love.

Okay, that is all that I got.

Let's get into it.

Last week, we talked at length about Surf 2.

Well, not that long, just regular.

We had questions.

And you know what?

We might have even missed a few things.

Here's your chance to set us straight.

Fact check us, if you will.

It is now time for corrections and omissions.

Corrections and omissions.

Boom.

That's Action Jackson 5.

That's like, was that Dark Ska?

I mean, is it called Dark Ska?

I love it.

All right, let's go to the Discord.

Dove.

Dove.

Dove writes, the Buzz Cola International Surf Trophy that they gave Eric Stoltz at the end is a woman's bowling trophy.

I'm looking at a picture of it, and you are correct.

And you know what?

This movie gets it.

I'm not here to pick apart this movie.

This movie gets it.

But Dove also goes on to say the sign above the store said said sir boards sur boards because I assume they didn't give an F.

Oh, I like that Dove.

So many Easter eggs and other things just for the audience.

They definitely had a blast.

You know, this is stuff that actually came up during the fan Q ⁇ A as we cut it out for time.

But yes, sir boards and groceries is a great...

a great notice a great find if you will and the discord is full of these finds of pictures.

Everything is so beautifully detailed.

Mitch Kappa Chunkstyle writes, giving the nerdiest couple two full pages in the yearbook seems really extravagant.

Well, Mitch Kappa, we all know the nerds put together the yearbook, so

of course, but they were called the nerdiest couple.

Maybe it's a small school.

I had a, I went to a small private school when I was very young, and I still have my yearbook from it.

And

there was only one senior.

So it was like junior class, sophomore class, and then it was the senior.

The senior.

And it was a full-page picture of her.

Lonely.

That seems so lonely, but back then it felt so cool.

Ghostbag writes, does Eddie Deason's character in this film create Buzz Cola with three Zs with the intention of initially putting the surfers to sleep?

Oh, and the zombification is

like is an unintended consequence?

Okay, wait, wait, wait, ghost bag.

Let me go with you.

I like this.

What if the buzz cola means zombies?

Buzz and the extra Z is for a zombie.

Ghostbag, we got something.

Let's go to the phones.

First up, Rob.

Oh, we know where Rob is from.

Rob from Long Island, what do you got?

Hey, guys, it's Rob from Long Island.

Just listening to the Surf 2 podcast, and you talked about a thong, and you were surprised that the Beach Boys sang about thongs.

But in the olden days, thong was referred to flip-flops, basically, because it's that little strip that goes between your toes.

It's kind of like what we think of now as a strip between your legs or whatever.

So a thong is basically a,

it could be a flip-flop or a bikini bottom or something like that.

So that's why that's that.

All right, right.

Well, how about that?

Finally, learning something on this show.

And you know what, Rob?

I looked it up in the dictionary, which is I just typed into Google and I typed in definition.

And a thong is defined as

a narrow strip of leather and or other material used especially as a fastener or as the lash of a whip.

And also a skimpy bathing suit or a pair of underpants.

Well, well, well, thank you.

I'm glad that my image of the Beach Boys stays untarnished.

Thanks to you.

All right, next up, a lot of calls from Seattle.

And by the way, we are so excited to come back to Seattle on a Wednesday.

And you guys are buying tickets for a Wednesday?

Hell yeah, Seattle.

We fucking love you.

All right, John, what do you got?

Hey, Paul.

I haven't done this in a long time.

This is John.

He helped me out a lot with my kids with some questions back in the day.

I just want to kind of give you a full circle follow-up.

We were at your Seattle show a couple weeks ago where you got the legendary shirt from Den of Thieves.

The very next week I went to CinemaCon and we got to watch a screening of How to Train Your Dragon with Gerard Butler.

And I only had like two seconds to

talk to him and he was either get a picture with him or show him my phone where I took a picture of you wearing this shirt.

So I chose option B and I showed him the picture of your shirt, you wearing the shirt at the show.

And he was stoked.

He started laughing and he was like, I'm glad it's got to go to home.

So anyway, that's basically it.

It's dumb, but I thought you would enjoy enjoy hearing that.

All right, love the show.

Bye.

Well, John, I'm glad to hear that my advice has gone over well, but let me tell you this.

More importantly, you did the right thing.

I know that it would be cool to have a picture with Jerry B,

but you do a moment like that.

As someone who has to deal with a lot of different people in my life and people come up, that's going to stick out in his head.

You did done right.

You did done right, John.

I appreciate you taking your moment to share it with him.

I appreciate you calling in.

I appreciate you being back on the show, but I'm going to just say,

I know it's a bummer not to have a picture with him, but I got to tell you, that story might live on longer with him, and then you are part of it.

So, I mean, you're not getting to benefit from it, but

Just know that was awesome.

And way to go that he's doing a Train Your Dragon screening in Seattle.

My buddy produced that movie, and way to go for that whole team.

They were awesome.

We went to visit them.

As a matter of fact, when they were shooting, when we were in

Belfast.

Yeah.

Okay, next up, Katie.

Oh, not Katie.

Jafar.

What do you got, Jafar?

It's Katie from Seattle, but yet again, anyone listening to this is going to know me as Jafar.

So fuck it.

But I guess I'm just Jafar now.

I'm calling with an answer for Jason because yelling from the upper balcony like a true monster is absolutely not the best way to convey information.

At the time, it just seemed really vital that we clear up what I'm now referring to as Krawlgate.

Okay, so after the huge reveal about there being a director's cut, Jason wondered what else is different between the two versions, apart from the crawl, which, by the way, I'm pretty sure either replaces or plays over the montage most of us saw with the carbuncle feet, because I think Jason would have remembered it if he had seen those monstrosities.

But aside from the crawl giving you the entire plot of the movie up front, there's literally only one other significant difference.

The director's cut has significantly more nudity.

When Jason said he loved the movie so much because it had topless scenes every 15 minutes like clockwork, it made me realize I must have watched the wrong version because while I saw some big American naturals, I definitely didn't see that many big naturals.

Naturals aside though, I agree with you, it was way more fun not having to crawl and having to try to make sense of what's happening while absolute mayhem unfolds.

Sincerely, thank you so much to everyone who makes the podcast, though especially the live shows, happen.

Not just for the great episodes, but for giving nerds like me a place to indulge very specific, very strange creative pursuits.

When Surf One happens, I want to be in the costume department.

Thanks so much.

Take care.

Katie,

you are definitely hired on Surf One.

I like this explanation.

It was, it was, I'm wrapping my head around it, and I think you're right.

I think it is better that we understand the movie less, leave more to our imagination.

And thank you for coming in great costume.

I will say, if you come out to see Dinosaur, no costumes needed.

But I believe you might actually be coming to Vancouver.

So we hope to see you there.

All right.

Next up, Luke from, you guessed it, Seattle.

Hey, Paul, had a great time at the Cirque 2 show.

Hope and catch you guys in a week or so for Dinosaur.

So not necessarily a correction or a mission, but more theory I wanted to posit.

And the more I think about about it, the more I've convinced myself it's true.

But I think this movie might have inspired one of the more iconic images in modern pop culture.

And that's the image of Homer Simpson just choking the shit out of Bart.

A la Chuck and Bob's dads when the guys come out of the water from competing in the surf season when they're a surf competition and they just wrangle their necks.

And the first thing I thought was like, boy, that looks a lot like Homer choking Bart.

Also, thank Matt Greening, being a guy in California at that time,

being a fellow Pacific Northwest weirdo and someone whose dad made surf movies when Matt Groening was a child.

I think it's very possibly true.

So that's what I think.

I want to give a shout out to Avril and just want to thank her for all the weird-ass movies that she's brought into my life.

and put me on some watch lists probably.

So take care, guys.

Hope to see you for Dinosaur.

Wow.

Okay.

Well, first of all, thank you for buying a ticket, or hopefully buying a ticket to come see us in Seattle.

No pressure.

But this might be the best connection yet.

You know, I gave a lot to Rob from Long Island.

I've given a lot.

I mean, look, we didn't even,

this is actually one of the better corrections of missions we've had.

This is tricky.

I don't know where we're going to land at this.

All right.

But I'll tell you this much, Luke.

You were not the only one that saw that Simpsons connection.

There were a lot of Simpsons connections, which make me believe your theory even more.

So you can check out our

Instagram because on our Instagram, we are going to post all the Simpsons connections that we have found in this movie, and they are great.

I mean, Buzz Cola references.

There are

the Transformation of Sparkle.

You're going to see.

It's good.

I believe you.

You know what?

Luke,

you might have really cracked open a whole gold mine here.

Anyway, let's go back to the Discord.

John Steele writes, hey, Paul, as a fellow lover of One Crazy Summer, I just want to bring up the appearance of Tom Villard, a.k.a.

Clay Stork, Bobcat Goldthwaite's on-screen twin as Jocko the Surf zombie.

Oh, yes, I did notice,

and I'm glad you pointed it out.

I did not bring it up because I felt like I would have to explain so many different parts of it, and it was out of, but yes, John.

I saw Tom Villard.

I was psyched to see Tom Villard.

I love the Stork brothers.

I'm a big fan of One One Crazy Summer.

And if you've not seen it, what a perfect time to watch it.

Last year we were in

Nantucket for the film festival doing a How did this get made show there and we watched One Crazy Summer, which shot a lot on Nantucket back then, and it was a real, it was fun for the whole family.

Anyway, this one's going to maybe boggle your mind from Fun Facts 47.

Even though Eric Stoltz lost out on sharing the screen with Biff Tannin in Back to the Future, if you don't know that story, look it up.

I don't need to get into it here.

He did star in this movie with a different Biff, Biff Maynard, who played Bob's dad.

Now, it would have been more of a coincidence if Biff played Chuck, that's Eric Stoltz's dad, instead.

Well, yes, that would have been...

the coincidence we would have needed.

And fun facts 47, that feels like a 47th fun fact.

Like you got the good ones out of the way, and now you're getting like, you're, you're digging a little bit deeper than you need to.

JXL writes, I was fascinated by the character arc of Big Head.

He starts off with some self-awareness, joking about cheating his way to a 53 on his IQ test, and then tacks on a bow wow as a sketchphrase early on.

As the movie progresses, his dialogue is stripped down to just a sketchphrase.

Did he do some lasting damage to himself in that garbage eating contest?

I'm going to say Big Head, I think, was suffering once he started eating a chain link fence, which was right in the opening scene.

You can't digest that.

That's too much metal.

I mean, the garbage eating contest, at that point, I think his brain was already gone.

Above wow.

All right.

So many great corrections and omissions this week.

But man, oh man, what could it be?

What could it be?

I have to say,

Seattle brought it this week.

I want to give Seattle

the winner of the week, but that's unfair to give it to all of Seattle.

It would be like, I'm like kind of like, oh, you know, giving them too much.

I'm going to give it to Luke from Seattle, who pointed out this giant Simpsons connection that I've never heard about or knew about, and I love it.

So, Luke from Seattle, you are the winner.

And guess what, Luke?

I normally say you win nothing, but guess what?

I'm going to give you two tickets to dinosaur if you want them in Seattle on me.

I'm comping you.

Just hit us up.

I don't know how to do that, but hit us up.

Hit us up at how did this get made at dearwolf.com?

No.

Well, hmm.

On the Discord?

You're on the Discord.

Yeah.

So just hit us up on the Discord.

We'll figure it out.

Okay.

UN.

Yay!

Okay,

that was more complicated than it needed to be.

Anyway, if you want to chime in with your own thoughts about the latest episode, hit up the Discord at discord.gg slash HTTGM or call us at 619-P-A-U-L-A-S-K.

Coming up after the break, it's Paul's pick.

But first, take a listen to this bonus deleted scene from Surf 2 where we talk about the origins of Surf 2 and it being in 3D and how this movie is connected to our home theater in Los Angeles, the Largo at the cornet.

All right, so take a listen to that.

All right, let's see.

Okay, oh, Joshua Cadman was cast as Johnny Bighing producers by drinking an entire six-pack during his audition.

There were unsafe work conditions on this film.

I know.

That is unsettling.

That's unsettling.

We did hear that the writer-director had suffered a surfing injury to the face, and while on painkillers, he wrote this movie in two days.

It was originally called Frankie and Annette Go to Hell.

I love that too.

And then he retitled it Surf Death, the movie.

And then

basically he made it into Surf Trash, which was sold at canned as a 3D film Can?

Yes, so they sold it at Can as a 3D film and while it was not shot in 3D

They did use a lot of images that they felt like oh, maybe we'll turn this into 3D cuz some setups seem to be 3D

and then

the scene where the where the boobs keep slapping the guy in the face would have been 3D?

Forget about it.

That'd be incredible

I'd never leave my room.

Yeah.

Now here's another two interesting connections here.

So they had, when they finished the movie, the studio was like,

Jason, Jason, come back.

I'm just picturing it.

And I'm like, Cal Gon, take me away.

When they finished the movie,

the studio was like, we can't release this.

So they had to kind of add in a bunch of the new sex and gross out gags.

And they really wanted to capitalize on Revenge of the Nerds.

so they originally titled it surf to the nerds strike back

but that came came away and now this is the best part of it um we perform at largo which is the coronet theater

this film

premiered at the coronet theater at largo for the overflow So basically kids who couldn't get into the premiere went to Largo to watch Surf 2.

Wow.

So that's maybe, I mean, look.

So we've been in the same theater that

piece of history.

Yeah, what a piece of history.

Wait, Paul, can I ask you a question, though?

I think we might have covered this.

So those boobs were added post

really.

Not all.

Not all, but more.

I think like a bunch of the very

inserts that are very close cut are the are the reshoots simply because they don't have any other people around them they can they and those those people might already have their boobs might have fallen by the time they were doing the reshoots fallen off fallen down

you know what i mean

there's a lot of sun damage going on i don't know how you think the sun makes boobs fall down yeah you don't know yeah because they they grow away from well yeah

it's gravity um look at gravity okay gravity i understand but you think the sun controls gravity i think that sun damage doesn't do great things things for big American naturals.

Oh, so now the American, now the naturals are American and they should be.

You will be surprised to know that.

We're going to build that bra.

Yeah!

That the way that they sold this movie at Cannes was around Sparkle.

She was

that well, it's Linda Carriage.

That was the one they're like, it's going to be a Linda Carriage movie.

We'll go see a Linda Carriage to meet the movie.

It's hard to think this movie was ever in can.

Well, I think they do that to sell a lot of weird movies.

It's like a lot of movies come out of can and like, oh, we've got the financing for it.

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile.

Now, I was looking for fun ways ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back.

So, I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills.

But it turns out that's very illegal.

New customer offer for first three months only.

All right, welcome back.

By now, I'm sure you've noticed that every week we re-release old How Did This Get Made episodes, and these matinee episodes come out every Tuesday.

This week's matinee was Highlander 2 the Quickening with Sam Richardson, and next week we are kicking off Sylvester Stallone Summer, and we'll be re-releasing Over the Top.

So, keep on checking out all of our replays and classic episodes every single Tuesday, and stay tuned, Vancouver, as we bring Stallone Summer to you on July 12th at the Vogue Theater.

All right, now Jason is not with me this week, but he has been killing it on Taskmaster, and it's going to be one of the things I talk about on Paul's picks.

Casey Campbell, play us in.

Hey, all you dumb dumb streaks and geeks.

Now it's time for both pick of the week, and let's go.

Wow!

All right.

All right, people, what have I been up to?

What have I been watching?

I just did a very big recommendation on my sub stack.

I have a sub stack.

No big deal, but mine is free.

I'm not charging any money for that.

But I did a whole bunch of stuff.

And there's one thing I really want to talk about, which is, and I talked about it already on this show, but I'm bringing it up one more time because it's just so good.

When Things Fell Apart with John Ronson is a podcast that is blowing my mind.

I just finished it today.

Two seasons, eight episodes each.

And it really attacks the culture war that we are finding ourselves more and more in the midst of.

And he goes back to all these pivotal moments that start

this like a snowflake that becomes a snowball that then becomes an avalanche, where we change our perception on something, or the world starts to take a position that is so

wrong in a way.

It's awesome.

I mean, we go back from how the Catholic Church adopted an anti-abortion stance to the myth of kids identifying as furries and using a litter box in classrooms to a disgraced scientist who had become the leading voice on not having vaccines and the documentarian who had it out for Anthony Fauci.

All of these things started from the weirdest places, but then took on this giant cultural relevance.

I find this podcast

just fascinating.

It's not done in an incredibly funny way.

It's just very, very interesting.

You know, John Ronson,

he wrote that book called The Men Who Stare at Goats.

It was made into a movie that was not as good, but it was like the CIA experimenting with like psychedelic drugs and telepathy and all this kind of cool.

I like John Ronson a lot.

I think you will like this podcast when things fell apart.

I also have been deep into Love Island.

You might have heard me on Nick Vile's show last week, The Vile Files, as I broke down my impression of Love Island, first time watcher of Love Island, and I got to say, was shocked at how much tongue is happening in kissing nowadays.

I've been married for a very long time, and these people are leading with tongue.

Is that a thing?

Are we really like tongue first kissing?

I mean, like, I don't mind tongue as a part of kissing, but are we leading with the tongue and not the lips?

I don't know.

I don't know.

This show is making me second guess how people kiss.

There is one thing that if you do watch Love Violin, please avert your eyes.

You had to suck milk out of a teat, a fake teat,

and then spit it into your partner's mouth and then collect all the extra milk.

And then when a couple was making out that you didn't like, you had to throw milk on them.

I just said all those words.

Yes, I did.

That's what that show does.

And I watched it.

I did fast-forward a lot through that.

I couldn't take it.

It was disgusting.

But that is just a normal, that wasn't even the finale.

That was like a mid-season fun episode.

Megan the stallion is in an episode and she kills.

I'm just falling in love with this show.

Like I mentioned earlier, I saw F1, really enjoyed F1, loved Final Destination, Bloodlines.

Wow.

Talk about a franchise that figured it the fuck out.

They definitely did.

It's so damn good.

Oh, I love it so much.

You know, I've been doing a little bit of a throwback.

Amy Miles, when I was coming up in New York doing the comedy thing, I'm still doing the comedy thing, but when I was coming up in New York, there is an amazing musician.

Her name is Amy Miles.

She actually composes a lot of the music for Amy Pohler's stuff, the Good Hang podcast, Amy Poehler's podcast, which is great, great episode with Mike Scher.

If you're a Parks and Rex fan, you would love it, but just if you're a writer, you would love it.

Mike is great, super smart, talented dude.

Amy Miles composed the song for the Good Hang podcast, but she has a bunch of great albums.

I've just been listening to Dirty Stay Out, I believe the album is.

It's her first album, 2002.

Man, she's great.

Love Amy Miles.

So I'm going to give her a shout out.

And then

Best Show, Tom Sharpling, 25th anniversary of Best Show coming up this October.

Rob Hubel and I were on this past week talking about terrible gifts, really interesting cameos, and so much more.

So check out Best Show wherever you get your podcast.

And I'll give one more plug of something that I am in,

which is

Unspooled.

Unspooled, we tackled the New York Times

best hundred films of the millennium, and I think we had actually really interesting conversation about that.

So if you've not checked out unspooled or you want like a quick episode to just kind of wet your whistle that's the one to do okay i have more to tell you about but first this

Okay, next week we'll be going from Chef Boyardee's to Pro Volone Please.

Yum.

I don't know.

This one was hard.

That's right.

Next week, we are watching the 1991 film Oscar, starring Sylvester Stallone as Snaps Pro Volone.

That's the Pro Volone that we needed.

What's this plot?

Well, it's a comedy.

It's a farce.

It's a remake.

Stallone stars as Oscar,

where he plays Angelo Snaps Pro Volone, a mob boss who promises his dying father that he will leave the world of crime and become an honest businessman.

Well, it's really like a stage play

with

mediocre timing.

Anyway, Rotten Tomatoes gives this film a 12% score on the Tomato Meter.

And Michael James of Letterbox, well, that's, you know,

anyone can post on Letterbox.

Michael James says, this comedy of errors has its set of hits and misses, but it does stay quite watchable, providing a good dose of laughter.

It was also fun to catch Stallone in this mode.

It's a perfectly laid-back guilty pleasure watch on a lazy afternoon.

You know, I've said that about movies that I have been in.

It just means that it's fine.

And, you know, honestly, Oscar is fine.

I don't recommend that you need to watch it, but you can listen to the trailer.

The year is 1931, and gangster Snaps Provolone is in control.

The police are powerless.

His rivals are helpless.

No one in the entire city dares to defy him.

Except his daughter.

I'm a modern 30s woman.

Look!

Put that away of your father.

She'll do anything, anywhere, with anybody.

Your daughter and I are lovers.

What?

Did he tell you I was pregnant?

What?

Touchstone Pictures presents Sylvester Stallone in the story of a father.

What we need is a a husband.

Trying to find someone

who will marry his daughter.

I've decided to go away to a convent.

Well, you're a little late.

You can rent Oscar on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, and Fandango.

In addition, I encourage you to check out Hoopa, Canopy, and Libby, which are digital media services offered to you by your local public library that allow you to consume movies, TV, music, audiobooks, e-books, and comics for free.
