Prices and participation may vary.

In the immortal words of the late, great Shah of Iran.

No way.

Yes way.

We saw double trouble, so you know what that means

What's up, jerks?

Hey, people of earth, I'm trying to figure out if this movie is worth the time it takes to watch it could be much better spent on doing

literally anything else.

It's true,

but you know what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna watch it anyway

because that's just how I feel today.

And it'll be fun to listen to Jason, Paul, and June Rant as they try to figure out that thing that I can't.

And that's this.

How did this get made?

Geostar.

Hello, people of Earth.

And hello, people of Denver.

You just heard the one and only John Hamm.

A Denver one-man band

doing our opening theme song, laying down the gauntlet to every other city.

We've been doing this show for 15 years.

No one had the balls to say, Let me come up there and sing the song.

He did a great job.

We're excited to be back in Denver.

It's been over seven years.

And you know what?

We had to bring something special.

A movie that came out in 1992

starring Peter Paul and David Paul

as Peter Jade and David Jade.

In a little movie called Double Trouble, the IMDb log line is, muscle-bound twins try to smash a jewelry smuggling ring.

That's about it.

Yeah, that's all you need to know.

That's all you need to know that these are two giant men

who are identical.

Not Not only in looks, but in personality.

Honestly, can't tell them apart.

Tagline of the movie: Twin Brothers, one's a good cop, the other is

bad news.

One thing that I think is great about this movie that I want to bring up very early on

is the writer of Double Trouble is also the writer of The Beekeeper, the Jason Satham movie, The Beekeeper.

And this was directed by Jombie from Pee Wee's Playhouse, The Head in the Box.

That's not a bit.

This was directed by Jombie.

He also played the pterodactyl,

worked a bunch with Pee-Wee and Elvira.

And I gotta say, in watching it, I was like, this movie is not badly directed at all.

I was into it.

So that was John Paragon.

Now, to break down everything,

we need my co-host.

Please welcome to the stage, Mr.

Jason Manzukas.

What's up, jerks?

Let's go, Denver!

Let's go!

I have to be cool.

We're at altitude.

I will pass out.

I really have been suffering already.

Just the walking out and a little jumping around, and I'm like cooked.

I'm like, should I get my inhaler?

Jason Ball.

How familiar are you with the Barbarian Brothers?

I'm a full zero for this.

I started this movie up thinking I was about to watch a Jean-Claude Van Damm movie.

Oh, wow.

I had it in my mind that's what double trouble was.

I was like, oh, I think that's what.

And I was like, whoa, whoa, what is happening?

This was a fever dream.

This made me uncomfortable.

I felt turned on.

There are so many things happening in this movie.

Wow.

And there is a movie.

And also so few things happening in this movie.

It's like the perfect movie of

so much, so little.

Which is kind of the Barbarian Brothers.

Would it surprise you that this is one of four of their films?

Done.

And we're rolling on the other three right now?

We're not doing the show.

We're just watching the rest

do they ever do a movie where where there's only one of them, but they keep swap or they keep swapping places?

I would like that if that exists.

Well, how would you know?

Here's what I'll say: the one that really piqued my interest is a film called Twin Sitters,

where they are babysitters for a bunch of restaurants.

Okay, why is it a thing that there's a movie that has to happen for every big jacked action star that they have to contractually do a movie where they're a babysitter or a nanny.

Why is that a thing?

I think I'm rock Vin Diesel.

I think it's just because kids are like, whoa.

It's not a tumor.

I mean, it's not a babysitter,

but it's close.

But even Dave Batista did one with a little girl.

I think he's done two.

So yeah, I don't know.

Why do we want that?

Kids want big people.

Why, to protect them?

Just to be like, whoa.

You know what?

No.

You know what?

Don't give your kids to these big people, right?

Give them to me.

Give me those babies.

Let me hold them.

I'll protect the babies.

Well, you know, in our last episode,

our next co-host, she said, well, this movie went down easy for me because I like looking at abs.

Well, guess what?

You got to...

Double the abs in this movie.

She is the co-host of the deep deep dive.

She is a how did this get made all-star.

Please welcome Jessica St.

Clair.

Wow, wow, wow.

Thank you so much for having me, boys.

Jessica?

Yes.

Barbarian Brothers, does this register to you at all?

Ugh.

You know, I really thought that you guys were going to do a lot of like futuristic trash can fires on me.

You're welcome.

You're welcome.

I believe there's not one trash can fire in the whole tour.

You're welcome.

And during this movie, I thought I've never been hornier.

Thank God I'm in a hotel room alone

that I don't have to get out of.

Oh, the fantasies you would have.

I thought I wish a trash can would set on fire because it would be more interesting than watching this piece of shit.

Now, here's the deal:

I said during Craven that I that his abs saved that entire movie for me.

I think it did for you, too, Paul.

Oh, absolutely.

I think it did for you, and you love that hair.

But

St.

Clair is decided.

St.

Claire is, let me be clear, sexually obsessed with craven.

And also keeps telling me that I wish I was craven.

Therapist in the audience.

Now, any therapist in the audience who want to pipe up when Paul's out there, I'd love to hear from you.

All I know is I see Jason in the airport today, and he's all just like...

Like craven style.

I also bring my own throne wherever I go.

No, but I'll just say this.

I like a hairless man.

I like a man with abs.

I do not

like a man with a tiny waist

and then a big old butt.

I want it big all over or not big at all.

Oh, you see,

I like that little tiny waist.

And then you got that round thing in your face.

Oh,

you do get sprung, Paul.

You do get sprung.

Well, we will break it all down, but we have a very special guest.

This is somebody who I think is one of the funniest stand-ups working.

He is currently a Denver resident, doing amazing comedy shows all around Denver.

His special religion, sex, and a few other things in between is hilarious.

Check it out if you have not seen it yet.

Please welcome to the stage Rory Scovel.

Thank you.

Thank you for that.

Welcome, Rory.

Well, well, well.

I was excited to have you on the show, but more excited to have you for this film because it's a real, like when we find these pockets of movies that you don't know anybody in, but clearly this was a thing.

Oh, it is, again, that we've gotten 15 years into this podcast and have never touched a Barbarian Brothers movie?

That I didn't know such a thing existed until today?

How did I get so qua lucky?

Did you know the Barbarian Brothers?

I've seen their faces.

I don't know

in my dream

if I have the right dinner,

they show up.

I don't know them, and I will never

ever look into them again.

This was it for me.

Peter and David Paul.

By the way, that's the other thing that gets me about the name.

Whoa, fuck.

Are these the Paul brothers' dads?

Are these Jake and Logan Paul's dads?

That's brother.

Whoa!

Are these the prime daddies?

These are.

These are the dads that have changed the world with cool sons.

These are my Paul brothers.

Right here.

OG.

These are G Paul brothers.

Straight Gen X.

These are my Paul brothers.

Yeah.

I really didn't know where to even begin with this movie because it starts with like a limo driver who's late, who's picking up this guy.

Now,

he,

we're led to believe he's an actor who's bad at his job.

Little do we know, big twist coming.

This guy's a stone-cold assassin.

He kills more people than anyone.

But he straight up looks like he's like

Jimmy Olson.

He looks like he's

Superman's favorite.

I'm wondering, you guys would be the experts, but has a mild man

ever been an assassin?

So when I see a red-headed gentleman, I don't think Stone Cold Killer.

Right.

A little too fresh-faced, too.

Yeah, a little too fresh-faced, and he has a little pony.

Everybody in the movie, ponytail.

Everybody.

Even when the rest of the hair is short, pony.

Oh, yeah.

Well, that's my favorite guy.

The guy that has like really short hair and then a ponytail in the back who fights one of the Paul brothers in the factory afterwards.

Yeah.

And I was like, this is a Gabris part right now, 100%.

It kind of reminded me of John Candy's stunt double.

It's like he had a little bit of a mustache.

But I was wondering about this assassin because we meet him.

He gets out of the car.

He forgets his hat and he's just running around on the street.

Rosehill?

Rosehill?

I was like, this is lucky that this guy happens to be on the street.

But then I was like, when I found out he was an assassin, I was like, is he that method of an assassin?

Because he's like, I'm an actor.

And I like, is he really going to learn?

Why was being late part of it?

That's what I'm saying.

It's like, why was being late?

Or was he a backstory?

Or was he late?

Like,

I was like, whoa, is this a choice?

Or what was that?

That's what I'm saying.

I'm saying this guy is like a stone cold killer who's also like, I like to get into my parts.

I am a limo driver who is trying to be an actor.

I I got to leave my kids to do this audition, and I have to pick up this guy.

He's got a full backstory.

And the actual actor pitched that.

He was supposed to be on time.

And he goes, what if I'm late?

And they were like, oh my god.

I would love it if

the hitman pitched it.

Yeah.

When they're hiring him to take the hit.

He's like, if it's cool with you, I'd like to be late.

They're like, wait, we gotta, as long as you kill him, man.

We gotta time it out with the funeral.

He goes, I know, but what if I'm late?

Yeah, I'm thinking, I'm thinking, and I've got an excuse like my kid was hurt or no no I had an audition

all right go

he's always like boss can I talk to you for a second so I'm thinking for this

you know I've been trying to go vegan right so I'm hungry and so like so I'm gonna definitely have a thing where I'm like oh is that is that steak are you eating steak and it's like yeah we don't need all the backstory money just just kill him

I would have loved the movie if it went into that much detail about the mild manner ginger the MMG The MMG.

I'd also like to point out, he could have turned around and shot the guy before they even started the car instantly.

Really?

You didn't have to do all that.

Now, can we just talk?

This actually

is a real bugaboo for me.

If you cut out, add it to the list.

There are so many driving shots.

If you cut out the B-roll of driving, you would have a 15-minute film.

Okay, but now, hear me out.

No.

Hear me out.

How would you know how people got from one place to the other?

Yeah, because it's another story.

That's another story.

Oh, what?

I just saw this fucking guy in jail.

Now he's at Diamondown?

Yeah.

And also, if you know the streets, you're like, is that the best route?

Yeah.

They definitely weren't going to LAX the best route.

I know that.

Yeah, when they got near the LA River, that guy should have been like, is this the way?

It's not the right way.

Are you going to kill me?

The guy should be nervous.

He's got one of those metal suitcases handcuffed to his wrist.

He should be be on guard.

When they come out with a grinder, Roddy McDowell, give it up for Roddy McDowell.

Roddy McDowell.

Champ in this movie.

When they come out and they've like, they kill him, and the guys come out and

his beautiful aluminum zero Halliburton briefcase.

This is, there will be a Zeukes Cubes episode in this.

Because there's backpacks.

Diamond backpacks.

Anyway, they've got a grinder, and instead of grinding

just one link on the handcuffs, walking away with it yes they grind the whole case in half yeah and it takes 15 minutes why by the way I mean I'm probably the more sadistic person like just cut that fucker's hand off I thought I thought they were gonna

wouldn't that have been so much better yes this was the driving shot of chopping off the thing yes

that guy pitched that by the way

he wanted to cut the hand off he goes hold up hold on a minute what if instead I take three times as long to make a horizontal cut all the way across?

Yeah.

I didn't even know you could get into a briefcase that way.

I guess it does make sense.

There is so much that goes on right away.

I will say this.

My grandma, who has since passed, a lovely woman, 97 years old, incredibly racist,

she

worked in the Hamptons.

And occasionally in the Hamptons, she'd have these run-ins with famous people.

And one of the famous people that she worked, that she bumped into was Roddy McDowell.

And it was this picture of my grandma was up in her house because Roddy took the picture of my grandma and then signed it.

So it's a Polaroid of my grandma signed by Roddy McDowell.

Not of him.

Not of him.

And not of her with him.

And my grandma would tell this story about how, when he took that picture, he cradled her face

and said, Kay,

I created 15 distinct personalities in Planet of the Apes.

That is so fucked up, Paul.

Yeah, that's why I wouldn't want him in the picture either.

Whoa!

Talking to me like that.

My grandma was like, and he grabbed my face and he looked me right in the eyes and he said, Kay, I created 15 different personalities.

Imagine if someone, you had this incredible moment with someone, you had some sort of an experience, they shared a picture, a moment, they caressed your face, they came in close, and the thing they had to say was, I created 15 distinct personalities for Planet of the Apes.

I created

a thing.

To put a time on it, this is late 90s.

So

to put a timestamp on it, this is pre-Planet of the Apes.

To make it even weirder.

No one knows what he's talking about.

You'll know.

One day.

You'll see.

You'll see.

Kay.

Disappears into a cloud of dust.

Kay, I created 15 different twin personalities for the barbarian brothers in double trouble.

Prizes and participation may vary.

Now, this is all before we meet the barbarian brothers.

One of the barbarian brothers, obviously, a thief, but not a thief.

A cat burglar

who is obsessed with cat, like like like very much like cat woman, like he's drawing pictures of cats and he's he's very into like cat and mouse games.

He's doing a heist while calling the police on on himself so they'll chase him.

This was my favorite move when he did the.

Oh.

I'm rolling.

You're rolling.

Oh, wait, is that like?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, he rolled up.

I thought he was making like a

whisker move.

No, no, like a camera.

Wait, you thought he was trying to insinuate movies in a game of charades

to a camera.

So every time you thought he was like, you're watching me.

So we do his.

Well, the quality of the film is so bad.

I have to say, though.

Wait, were you in?

I wish you were in your room and he did that and you were like, okay, movie.

Double trouble.

No, but I have to say, I do think they had some good burns back and forth to each other.

Oh, yeah.

That was, I agree, because that was, they, what's interesting in the movie, obviously, one of them is a cat burglar, one of them is a policeman who's after the cat burglar.

But what's so strange is they hate each other.

Yeah.

Just actually, just the cop hates the cat burglar.

The cat burglar seems to like giving it to his brother.

No, but then it all comes out.

But the cop because he was straight A student and he had no choice but to be bad.

So you did like it.

You loved it.

Which one was your favorite?

Yeah.

Which one do you think was my favorite?

The bad boy.

Yeah!

I thought he was fun.

He was funny.

I did think he was funny.

Well, that was less abs, though.

You have to factor in.

You're getting more abs from the cops.

He was the one that Wardrobe did not give a crop top to.

Oh, my God.

And he was like, it's cool if I wear this in every scene, right?

For the entire month.

He's wearing that half in every scene.

The fact that one character in this movie does not change his wardrobe for one scene, but it's like, oh,

multiple days.

My guess is they did that for us to tell them apart.

Oh, yes, right?

Yeah.

Yes.

He's always in that.

Yes.

Because if they change much, we're going to have to do the exposition to be like, I'm the one that was in the Raiders.

Yeah.

That's right.

Well,

I mean, in one scene, he's just dressed as a police officer.

We needed it that much to know.

Oh, he must be the cop.

Oh, oh, that's the one.

Oh, that's the cop because of the uniform.

The literally.

Beth, can we play scene four?

This scene fucked me up because I was like, I'm confused.

Scene four, this is when they are dressed the same.

Oh, wait, maybe, oh, wait, maybe this is not.

Sorry.

Either way, either way, if you ever have to shoot a gun down at someone, it's yo, yo, shot!

Shot!

Shot!

The casual nature of gunfire.

Oh, my God.

Making no effort to aim, nothing.

I would love it if they cut now to an overhead and there were just like six dead civilians this is what this actually started the phrase friendly fire yes like this is an active shooter right here

also also not a cop nope not

in fact a prolific criminal criminal

by the way i've noticed even like the uh the nerdy cop that's partnered with them they all carry their guns very high Oh, yeah.

Yeah, poor winner.

Poor like a baseball bat.

Yeah.

It's up.

It's like upper cheekbone and a higher.

I'm like, how are they going to get that gun down?

They are not good at guns.

Well, you know what?

I thought I had the scene where they're at the restaurant where they're dressed the same.

Oh, yeah.

And they're in suits.

Yeah, and then suits.

I was like, I don't know who is.

The way you knew was that the one who's the crop top walked for some reason in a suit like this.

Like, the suit made him

unable to bend his limbs.

But yet he is a guy who is wearing tight jeans

and a crop top, which is not like

loose.

I know how great would it have been if he got fed up with the suit and then just cut it

at the waist.

You know, just was like, okay, now I feel better because I just need this two inches

peeking right through.

Well, did you guys watch wrestling when you were little?

Okay, now I don't know.

Are they wrestling?

Are they your guys?

I was too busy talking to Rory.

They're not wrestlers.

They're not.

Did they ever do porn?

Like Like that.

Well,

you look at this and you're like,

this is my preferred white lotus scenario.

Big time.

Big time.

These guys so you can tell.

I would love it if the Barbarian Brothers were in the next season of White Lotus.

Where are they now, huh?

Well,

we'll see.

They're here tonight, ladies and gentlemen.

The Barbarian.

Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.

When they ran, when they both ran at this up, I laughed.

I laughed so hard.

The barbarian brothers, Peter and David, are fraternal twins who had a small bit part following in the careers of Arnold and Lou Ferrigno.

But then they made their first film, Barbarians.

Okay, sorry, sorry.

So they are bodybuilders.

Well, like Lou Ferigno and Arnold, you mean?

Yes, because

they actually, where they got their start was in Rhode Island because they had their own gym called

P ⁇ D's House of Iron.

So that's...

That's the porn I want.

How is that

P ⁇ D's House of Iron?

How is that not an 80s-era MTV show?

Yes.

By the way, that might be a good shirt for tonight, P ⁇ D's House of Iron, Rhode Island.

Before this movie, their biggest claim to fame was that when they were nominated for a Worst Newcomer at the Raspberry Awards, the Golden Raspberry Awards, they were the first actors to ever attend

the ceremony.

That's cute.

That is cute.

Halle Berry has done it now.

Francis Porcopa has done it.

But they lost.

They actually lost to an arm wrestler from

the Stallone movie Over the Top.

Does that feel good?

Like when you lose that night?

Yeah,

but do you think they only lost because they split the vote?

Probably.

By the way, I loved them.

Oh, I do.

I found them

watchable.

They were charming.

They found them infinitely watchable because I was like, what's up?

What's up with these brothers?

I felt like they would block the scene and they'd just be standing off being like, blah, blah, blah.

And someone would just push them in.

They'd be like, what?

Okay.

It felt like they were improvising.

It felt like maybe the movie was a prank being pulled on them.

Yeah.

They felt so organic and in the moment that I I was like, these guys are either geniuses or they have no idea.

That's what I'm saying.

This movie was not badly directed and finally acted.

I mean, like, everyone's like, knows what they're doing, and it's fun.

Like, even that guy who is like their nerdy Whitney.

Whitney.

Whitman.

Justice, justice, justice.

Justice for Whitney.

Justice for Whitney.

Because that guy,

all he does is try to get away from it.

Oh, wait, there's a guy dressed as Whitney.

Yes.

Yeah.

Can Can we get house lights?

Can we get house lights?

I want to marry this.

Stand up again.

Stand up again.

I got to get a picture of Whitney.

Come on.

I salute you, sir.

I salute you.

Are there any other Whitneys in the room?

I salute you, sir.

I want to just give justice to Whitney because Whitney is paired with them.

He does kill

the method actor

assassin and murderer.

And at one point he's like, should I go call for help?

And he's like, yeah.

And he runs away and the barbarian brothers are like, dick.

Yeah, what if you're like.

All he does is save their life over and over and over again.

It was a nice moment.

He literally just saved them.

Well, they've got like big bully energy.

Like they're bullying each other.

They've got like a real...

So to me, they felt like they were just going to be like hazing Whitney the whole time.

Well, I got to say that's true to the book.

The book that's he was

Whitney was that and they they were that to Whitney.

And so to see that on screen and go, that's hard to translate, but they did it.

And you read it in the original, Frank.

Yeah, that's exactly right.

Yeah.

There's so many iterations of it.

It's biblical, really.

It's a Cain and Abel fable.

It's a Cain and Abel right here.

I mean, honestly, even trying to tackle a subject matter, we all know it, you know.

So

you know what's funny is I just remembered, in the scene where they're in the apartment and they trap the guy under the weights when they come back and find his throat is slit they go take whitney's pulse and when upon discovering that he's alive they're like ah

yeah he's alive i was rooting for this other police officer

too

who's done nothing but help them

nothing but help although i do think he went to a bad doctor because he just got bonked on the head and they wrap him up like a too much

even need to wrap a concussion.

It doesn't feel like that's an answer to you.

I don't think that's how you do it.

Like a bug's bunny wraps a concussion.

The beginning of the movie, when the cat burglar is cat burglaring, they call in the cop brother who seems to be working some sort of vice because they're not in a police uniform.

He's with a woman and a partner.

His partner, who I believe.

Careful.

I was going to say

careful.

I feel the the temperature of the water shifting.

Careful.

Careful.

I thought that she was undercover as

careful.

Okay.

Just because a woman wears a pair of platform heels that don't fit her

and cause her a lot of problem walking does not mean she is a street walker.

Well, I just thought that they were, they looked like they both were not on duty and they looked like they were in deep undercover.

Like, it wouldn't have been like, let's call in the Vice Squad for this.

It's like, I couldn't make heads or tails they never appear in in any kind of police wear in any kind of nobody likes like do you wonder are they undercover cops i think that's what i think do undercover cops dress in street clothes or when is it only when they're on the beat when they're in the office what do you think the beat is when they're out of the streets being undercover okay have you ever like seen undercover nope cops nope

because they're so undercover you know you wouldn't know but you know know, they always look so slobbish, and I feel like that is such a tell of what they think of us.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That cops are like, we got to blend in with them.

Here's what should I wear?

Dress like shit.

Yeah, this is.

But now

this is maybe the one area with which I agree with the police.

We're slobs.

Yeah, yeah.

The world they are living in is full of slobs.

They're right.

Okay.

But here's the thing.

We find out he is not undercover because he wears that outfit all the time.

Yeah, that is his normal.

That's his normal clothes.

So I guess he just shows up to work.

I guess maybe though that's his normal

appear to be a police officer at all.

Yeah, like it surprised me that he was, and it surprised me consistently that the police continued to keep him in their employ.

Yeah, because in no way, shape, or form does he do any good police work at all.

Well, I mean, when you say that, are you saying like when he was typing and kind of couldn't and he was like, ah, that's your whole statement because I fucking quit or do you mean when he just sacrificed his kitchen sink to be where a cat should be?

Okay, or do you mean when he goes home alone and decides it's time to work out

and then put those clothes back on?

Yeah, all of the all of the above.

I need to break down the cat moment because he is gifted a cat

because he

was called in on a.

Okay, like it wasn't like he hasn't been like hunting a cat burglar.

It was like, hey, can you get down to this building?

He did.

He didn't catch him.

And then they gave him a cat.

And then that made me.

But when they delivered it, they really lean into it.

They're like, we heard you were chasing after a

cat

burglar.

And I was like, honest to God, kill yourselves.

Yeah.

Everybody, this is awful.

But that that crushed.

You watched.

Watch that scene.

Oh, yeah.

That line crushed.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, when they were testing this movie, dials went up.

And weird to believe,

the captain later, the captain later, played by Scotty from Star Trek.

Oh.

Jimmy Dewan.

Excuse my voice.

I'm sorry.

I was screaming at assholes all day.

I'm giving her all I can.

My first sip of beer with James Dewan.

Really?

Yes.

How old were you?

Not of drinking age.

I was at a Star Trek convention with my dad.

And

my dad's like, oh, look, there's Scotty.

And we were in the Penta Hotel in New York City.

And he was drinking a beer.

And we waved.

And he's like, come on over.

And we sat down at the table.

And he's like, you ever have one of these?

And I said, no.

Not right.

Not right.

And then I took a sip of beer from

Scotty.

It was the best.

I think he might have been grooming you, Paul.

And then he fucked me.

You're getting space groomed.

Do you know how many chapters?

Book it it up.

Two petty chapters of Paul's book could not be published because they were too sad.

No, I think.

Now,

to make the transporter work, I just have to put this in your ass.

I think

the only reason that story didn't make it into the book is you don't think it's dramatic.

Yeah, that's it.

Yeah, that was just run of the mill meeting.

That's just a Tuesday round here.

That's in the Good Stuff book.

What was your dad?

Your dad was like, do what he says, boy.

He says, drink it, you drink it.

Beam it up.

You have space beer.

Beam that beer up to your lips.

If an original member of Star Trek gives you a drink, you've got to take it.

I agree with that, actually.

To that end, Denver, I will be in bars for the rest of the night and tomorrow offering beers to children only.

Beers for babies.

So they give him this cat.

He takes this cat home.

And immediately

he stops to get kiddie litter.

Yeah.

But not food.

Not food.

or it's baby food or mayonnaise I couldn't tell it's baby or like a it's Gerber it's Gerber baby food okay it's Gerber babies

okay they love it they love it

the 92 was different it's mayonnaise it's mayonnaise they always

most babies first meals are BLTs you have to always mayonnaise

but yeah you'd think the store you go to for kitty litter would also sell cat food yeah sorry all we got is baby mayonnaise also my guess is they have litter boxes.

My guess is if they've got the litter, they might have a litter box.

But now it was 10 bucks, and he was just like, nice try, bud.

I'm not buying that shit.

Nice try.

The cat can shit in the sink just like I do.

Did you notice the sink didn't have a faucet?

Yeah, it was

this.

All right.

This movie.

It's a detective work, Rory.

Good for you.

So this movie has one of my favorite moments in it, and I apologize to Denver because it's going to be very specific to the four of us.

Okay so you guys all can leave for a minute.

Leave for one second.

A quick timeout.

When his partner is murdered at the train station the next morning they cut to like the investigation and they are at Travel Town which is which is at Griffith Park which is a kids train park where they have abandoned trains like and kids can run around and I was like They're just shooting this at a kids park?

And they shoot it in a way where it's like, it doesn't look super weird that there's like an old 1910 train right off to the side.

Like, they couldn't even afford to be in the train yards.

Nope.

Scotty from Star Trek was like, How are we on locations?

I might know a place.

I got, I know, we shot a ton of Star Trek all over this city.

You need trains.

There's a museum back there.

It was, it was, I was laughing.

I was like, there were way too many trains to be there, and they were like trying to desperately show it's not a no.

She is meeting her CI, who is dead, at a train that is legitimately from the 1800s.

Yeah, that's right.

And by the way,

that literally like made its way across America.

And she's meeting this guy in the middle of night.

In the middle of night, he's wearing sunglasses.

Like, what did he say?

Meet me.

I'll be sitting on a train in the middle of the train tracks.

Like, hey, I'm totally clean.

I'm clean now.

I've got a regular job.

Just meet me at the middle of the night.

Like, he's no.

A lot of red flags.

It's a lot of red flags.

Let the street lights illuminate our interaction.

Yeah.

And she's like, oh, you're on the stuff again.

Like, she's upset with him at first.

She's rooting for him.

Yeah, well, she's going to date him.

I mean, I think that they did a good job of saying, like, wait, she's not trying to date him.

No, she's married.

She was married.

She's married.

She's married.

She's married.

Wait a second.

I thought that, wait, date, right?

Wait a second.

I thought that she and Barbarian were...

were in love.

No, they aren't.

No, no, they aren't.

Well, don't fucking turn on me.

I believe they are cop partners because doesn't the person who reports that she's dead say her husband will be

strong.

Don't you remember when the the partner leans in?

He's like, I'll get him.

I'll get whoever did this.

And then the other guy is like, the other shitty cop is like, let me see that toxicology.

She was literally two feet away from the husband.

Nice.

The grieving husband.

I bet she was a junkie.

Yeah, that's why the barbarian brother punches her.

Okay, that makes sense.

Punches the guy from Son of the Beach.

Which also, I think, maybe is when you then see a swing set.

Yes.

Yes.

You very much do.

Yes, he gets thrown into a train.

It's an insert.

It's the shot of just a swing set, and he flies into it.

Yeah.

They drag so hard to make it a train station, but they're like, we need this punch scene.

I mean, we got to.

We got to do it.

We'll do it in front of the swings, but we're supposed to be the train.

Nobody cares.

Oh, there's a lot of

swing swing sets near train stations.

We used to play all the time on train swings.

I don't mean to interrupt your meal, but I saw you from across a cafe, and you're the Geico Gecko, right?

In the flesh.

Oh, my goodness.

This is huge to finally meet you.

I love Geico's fast and friendly claim service.

Well, that's how Geico gets 97% customer satisfaction.

Anyway, that's all.

Enjoy the rest of your food.

No worries.

Uh, so are you just gonna watch me eat?

Oh, sorry.

Just a little starstruck.

I'll be on my way.

If you're gonna stick around, just pull up a chair.

You're the best.

Get more than just savings.

Get more with Geico.

Hello, people of Earth.

I want to tell you about a podcast that I think you are going to love.

It is called Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade.

The legends of SNL and Comedy are together doing a show that I...

absolutely love.

They will take you behind the scenes at SNL and honestly the entire entertainment world.

Every Thursday, the guys hang out with friends and comedy icons like Will Arnett, Nate Bargatzi, Amy Pohler, Jerry Seinfeld, and so many more.

On Mondays, join Dana and David as they riff on current events, pop culture, trending clips, and answer all of your audience questions.

So kick back, relax, and enjoy the comedy, absurdity, and world-class banter from your favorite duo.

Follow and listen to Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade, wherever you get your podcasts.

The other thing is there's a lot of crazy shots.

Like when he's talking to the police chief, it's that close-up of his face, and then it fades into his face, and then it's back to his face.

Like, who was it that directed it again?

Jombie from Pee Wee's Playhouse.

Okay,

I feel like he was like, you know what?

This is a stupid movie, but I'm going to do some artistic things.

Well, I'm going to have a good time.

I'm going to have a good time, and I'm going to push myself.

I felt like the only time that he made a mistake was when he cuts from one brother to the other brother.

That I found confusing, because it's like, you can't cut this one.

His coverage is strange.

Yeah, you can't quite make sense of it.

Right, because it does feel like you're that guy who works at the gym.

Like, where did I just go?

By the way, that's a bit that they do.

Love it.

You know, that's a bit that they've done

your whole life.

Give me six more of that.

Yeah, yeah.

Give me six more.

Which way did I just go?

Like, incredible.

I loved it.

Twitch.

Tweets are fun.

I don't want to put you on the spot, but have you ever, late at night, put your ear to the wall to hear a man working out and get super horny?

She did not need to put her ear to the wall.

First of all, he sounds like he's taking the biggest shit of his life.

Yes!

Oh, forget it.

Oh, forget it.

No, that was so.

Does she think he's jerking off?

I don't know.

I think that she just finds it hot that he's working out.

Yeah.

And also, that's where I was like, oh, these guys must be like famous bodybuilders that it was such a sensually shot scene.

Well, it's like give the people what they want.

Yes, but the

who wants that.

What they want is like him pumping iron and graphic insert shots of his vascularity.

And I was like, who is this for?

Who is it for?

It's not for me.

Oh, I don't think so at all.

Well, there was a debate.

Do we have him work out on this set or do we have all of the actors take training on how to handle guns?

Oh,

they made their choices.

They made their choice.

They made their choice.

I mean, the other thing is, the other brother had just gotten out of jail after being in jail for a long time and lives in a very nice house where he has a warhol of himself.

Yeah.

Well, he's a thief.

That's perfect.

He's a thief.

He broke into a place where he had the...

So if you don't think that the barbarian brothers who exist in this world, Andy Warhol isn't obsessed with them.

Like in this world,

I would be shocked if someone, when you go out there, isn't like, here's a picture of the barbarian brothers with actual Andy Warhol at the factory.

I don't believe it.

What was up, though, when we cut to him in his apartment and he's balancing that woman who we all wanted to look like?

That woman was like it, right?

You wanted to be in a one-time.

The high-cut leotard, but with bike shorts under.

Yeah, bike shorts under it.

And then your hair is so flushed over that you have to hold your head like this.

The scene where the barbarian brothers fight each other.

It's great.

I'm not kidding.

This is

a Mark's Brothers level masterpiece.

A fight that begins in an apartment, rolls out of the apartment, down the stairs, into the street, into the back seat of a car, populated by two people, out of that car.

Wait, but then they're like, honey, there's two big men fighting on our backseat.

Ah, shut up.

Shut up.

I was like, this movie gets it.

Into a China shop.

Thank God.

I was like, thank God that they weren't like, no, we want to be like serious action guys.

No, they get it.

It's absurd.

They go into a China shop.

Yes.

Yeah.

They are bulls in a China shop, literally.

It just says,

China.

It's just a sound.

But yet they have no money because they don't show a single plate break.

Yeah.

It's all just sound effects.

Smash cut to parking lot.

Did you notice one of my favorite genuine moments in this film is one of my favorite moments that I can't believe I've never seen, which is at a certain point, Roddy McDowell is watching the security footage of the robbery, okay?

And it's the scene you were referencing earlier where the brother does that.

And when the whole thing plays out, Roddy McDowell hits stop, at which point, not only does the security footage stop, but the score stops.

Yes.

As if the score of the movie has been scoring the security footage.

And when he clicks it off, it stops.

It was, I had a panic attack because I was like, am I losing my mind?

Because the score was also not like, score was like,

I was like, that's a fun way to watch security for it.

I stole the milk.

The electric guitar stuff in this movie is insane.

Yeah.

It's fucking insane.

They should have won an award for that soundtrack.

I want that soundtrack.

If you told me they hired the guy that roller skates up and down Venice Boulevard playing electric guitars, I would believe you.

Well, you know, the song that the driver plays, Bob the Assassin, is his own band.

He got that in the movie.

Yeah, that's it.

Bob's own, the Ginger's own band?

Yeah.

Well, see, this was a fun set.

And actually, when I was on YouTube,

I was watching it on YouTube because I didn't want to pay for this piece of shit.

And the first comment on YouTube is somebody who worked, I think, craft services

on the film and just said it was a ball.

And the brothers couldn't have been nicer.

And I think that comes off on the screen.

I agree.

They're all having a laugh in this movie.

Right?

They clearly don't take themselves too seriously.

And that's both in the movie and it's got to be real because they seem like they are just a couple of goofballs.

Yeah, they're a couple of names.

Even on like those late night shoots, you could tell they were probably like, hey, should we do another take?

And everybody was like, I don't care.

We got it.

Let's not do it.

Who fucking even cares?

We got it.

We got it.

I do think that this is like the fact that he wears the same outfit is like the director going, we could pick up any scene at any point.

Any moment.

Let's pick up Scalore.

You know what I feel like the movie is, or maybe it was the inspiration, and it's interesting you say that Jombi directed it.

It almost obeys cartoon logic.

Yes.

You know, they do stuff that I feel like mostly happens in cartoons, like when

Whitney takes the criminal brother to the bathroom and the brother climbs out the window, climbs all the way down.

His brother puts a gun in his, a cocked gun in his face and says, go back.

And he has to climb back up, climb back in.

Whitney's still talking about his sister.

I was like, this is cartoon.

This is a Bugs Bunny routine.

But by the way, Whitney's improv in that was killing me.

He's like, my sister, she likes tennis, but one of her feet is different than the other.

She's wearing a shoe.

I was like, this, I'm in.

Like, he was doing a full rip about her leg being shorter.

When they go, when they leave that scene and they go to the criminal brothers' apartment, and they realize it's been trashed, they tear in, and Whitney goes to go up the stairs and stumbles.

Stumbles and falls.

They keep it.

That has kept it.

I think that was part of Whitney's character.

He's always stumbling.

Oh, you think, oh, well, he fell over that barrel.

Oh, you're right.

Okay, so maybe that was purposeful.

In my mind, I was like, this was the only usable take.

It did look like he fell over.

Like he heard it.

Oh, yeah.

And by the way, but I could see them going, keep it.

That's part of your character.

And they're building that.

Yes, and they go, now at the end, you're going to fucking flip over a barrel.

That was his first take on the film.

Yeah, right.

That was the first thing he shot, and he tripped, and they were like, you're fucking genius, dude.

That's what I'm talking about.

Everybody's being encouraged to bring something to to their chair.

He also, in that scene, has quite a bit of trouble putting his gun back in his holster.

He's like...

Aw.

Yeah.

Oh, Whitney.

And I'm like, what?

Is this a choice?

Is this a new prop?

Yeah.

That he's like, oh, fuck,

this gun doesn't fit in.

It's funny, too, because it's also a little out of frame.

Yeah.

So you only know that he can't get in there because you can see enough just to get there.

Like, just to hear.

And he's not even center frame.

He's off to the side.

I bet you they didn't have the proper holster for his gun.

He's like, yeah, yeah, you've got a fucking holster.

And he's like trying to jam it in there.

I like when they do characters, and I was trying to figure out what you think the characters are.

I thought they were doing robots.

When they get the man in the tanning bed,

you are bad.

We will.

I was like, yeah.

And the weird thing was, is they put towels on themselves as if to hide themselves, but their faces are fully

visible.

They are.

They don't just put on.

So, okay, so they follow a guy to a spa, like a health club.

They go into that health club.

They, the guy is in a tanning bed.

They, they cover themselves, they don't put towels on like, we belong here.

They put towels all over.

They're a mummy.

Like, not even just mummy, like they are big, like grimace.

Yeah.

Like, they are, like, white grimaces rolling around in there acting like, yeah, we belong here.

I was like, what the fuck is happening?

It was nice to see a tanning bed, though.

It was, yeah.

Just to know that people used to treat themselves to a midday tan.

Oh, yeah.

You know, kind of made me nostalgic.

Also deciding to go, like, imagine in their reality, like, he's in there tanning.

What should we do?

And they were like, I think we cover ourselves in towels,

talk like evil robots over him.

And they both were like, that's what we do.

Don't you wish?

That's the idea.

Don't you wish they had included that scene?

Yes.

I wish they'd included the scene where they came up with this plan.

Yeah, because it is they are

and I guess maybe because I thought they were wrestlers or something like that, they feel like they are their whole thing is aimed at kids like that kids would like like 13 year olds would be like oh my god, this is crazy That's like honestly, there are 13 year old boys in the year 1992 watching that scene in the candlelit living room and they're like, that's what you do if you get a girl back in your place.

Yeah, that's what you do.

That is what you do.

You make the you do cirque the sole.

That's what you do.

And I gotta get a loop.

Where could I get a loop?

Mom, dad, can I get a loop?

What, whatever?

I need loose diamonds, loose coal, and a jeweler's loop.

That's how you get laid.

This is why we have a masculinity crisis in this world.

That's right.

Bring it back.

Bring it back.

Bring it back.

Bring back the best shirt.

I wish we had the barbarian brothers.

We have the Tate tape brothers now.

Oh, thank you.

Yeah.

If you want to talk about masculine, I want to talk about the guy.

Denver is Edver on board for the Tate Brothers.

Talking about masculine, I want to talk about the guy whose job it is to lock down the diamond exchange, who has a cup of coffee that says,

Damn, I'm good.

Yeah.

Yes.

Hey, yeah, lock this place down.

The casualness of that operation, too,

was very bizarre.

Like, that was the only day that they had a lot of extras.

And that they just put outside a regular office building, ICE, or whatever it was.

By the way, that's where they shot Children's Hospital for the last two years.

Did they really?

That's all.

That's the old Sunkist building.

Wait, at the International Diamond Exchange?

Like, every...

Wow.

I literally have shot in every location that the Barbarian Brothers have shot in.

I'm like, it's all the career.

It's a career ball.

It's all career.

Whenever I'm watching one of these things, I'm like, oh, they had no money for this.

I've shot in all of these places.

I remember that one time we were shooting the league and

somebody had shown us.

Shut up.

We were on a couch.

We were on a couch.

And someone showed us this picture, and it was a full porn audience.

I shot BFF there.

Yeah.

He's like, yeah, these places are just used.

Every set you've been on is covered in cum.

Yeah.

And that's honestly, that's the charm of doing this.

I've been in so many disgusting hot tubs in the valley that I'm like, absolutely not.

This is, I'm for sure getting hep A through F in this.

Let me go out to the audience.

Let me see what the audience has to say.

Careful out there, Paul.

These are barbarians.

Well,

I want to go to anybody in a costume if you're in a costume and you have your hand raised.

Make sure we know you're in a costume.

All right, hey, how you doing?

What's your name?

Chris.

All right, Chris, what do you got?

Can we talk about this satellite dish that gets

pushed off?

Yes, he does take a satellite dish as if it's like thousands of pounds.

And we're like, oh my God.

And he throws it on the car, and then the guy whose car falls on, he just kind of pushes it off.

I loved.

Are the barbarians not that strong?

Oh, I assume they're strong, but you're right because what we don't see is him dislodge it from a mounting.

We don't see him do the

like, like, oh,

I'm having to use so much strength to lift and detach this satellite dish.

It really is just like, oh, I got one of these.

Wing.

But he flips a plane at the end.

Oh, they flip a plane.

That's fucking crazy.

By the way, you know, this is a bit that the two of them do.

Flip cars.

Oh, flip the flip car.

They have done this.

That's fun.

That's fun.

They have mentoed so many people.

Twins are so fun.

Every Miata that lives near them.

Let's do it.

Boom.

We used to, we used to, when I was in high school band, we used to,

we'd have to get a whole bunch of people, but our band director had a very small light car, and we would all go out and pick it up and put it into positions that were impossible impossible to get out of.

That's fun!

It was very fun.

Teachers suck.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hell yeah.

Get him.

You showed him.

You just try and show us the beauty of music.

Just like the barbarian brothers said, be cool, don't go to school.

Yeah.

All right, so we're with our barbarian sister.

All right, what's your question?

Your name, your question.

My name is Liz.

You know how the police chief fires Whitney at some point?

Okay, but also when Whitney's introduced, he's in the FBI.

So.

Yeah, right.

Why does he have jurisdiction over him?

You're right.

How can he fire him?

Yeah, that's kind of how dumb Whitney is.

Justice for Whitney.

You know what?

I guess that makes sense for why Whitney keeps showing up.

Because he's like, no, no one fired me.

I worked for the fire.

I hired you guys.

I worked for the federal government.

The The only way that

someone can fire me is in some number of years when a teenager takes control of the department in which I am in and gets rid of me for efficiency's sake.

I think that's foreshadowing Doge.

Yes.

That's what the movie is.

Yeah, Big Balls is going to fire Whitney.

All right, I'm looking at somebody who's actively writing a note right now about the movie.

All right, what's her name?

Andy.

Okay, Andy, what do you got?

So this movie came out in 1992.

1994, Quentin Tarantino came out with Pole Fiction.

Did Tito the bodyguard look a lot like Vincent Vega to anybody else with the long hair?

Just the hair.

Just the hair.

Just the hair.

Yeah.

Do you think that you think that this is like Quentin Tarantino going, I need to write a movie about that guy?

Well,

I would honestly not be even remotely surprised if they did this movie on video archives and Quentin was like, you know what?

I love this movie and I based Quentin's hair on Tito.

I would absolutely believe you if you told me that because this movie is so strange that I'm certain it was constantly playing at video archives.

Sir, what's your name?

Your question?

My name is Andy.

I've got two quick tidbits about the movie.

Oh, great.

The actress who eavesdrops on Peter working out, husband number three of five was none other than John Claude Van Damme.

Wow.

All right.

Wow.

And not that I looked for it and couldn't find it, but apparently these guys did a spread for Playgirl in 1986.

Wow!

Beth!

Hang on.

Beth, if you can hear that.

I feel like one of these nerds is going to have the magazine.

You do?

Yeah.

Do you have the magazine?

You have the magazine, ma'am?

No?

Do you have the magazine?

Okay, no.

Where's Beth?

Inexplicably raising her?

You're heavy on it.

All right, here we are.

Now, if you want to ask it in your robot voice, you can, but you don't have to.

All right.

What's your name?

Alex.

Great.

That was awesome.

You don't have to do more than that.

I enjoyed that, and you committed to it.

Alright, so, yes, your question.

Why did they have to rappel down the side of that building when they told someone else, like, go get the car?

So that guy who went to get the car had a different way to get down.

Okay, that we don't know.

He that guy might have repelled also.

Yes, I think that guy first.

I think he's the first repeller.

They all were like, we're in a penthouse.

We have to be ready to repel down the side.

By the way, I haven't been to many penthouses, but that is not a fancy penthouse.

You've been to many penthouse.

Jesus Paul.

No, I said I haven't been to many.

Oh, you haven't?

But I can tell you that that is not.

Well, there isn't a penthouse that's on the fourth floor

They were

high up

the fourth floor.

Yes, they were not high up at no

but is this again you guys watch shitty movies like this all the time Have you ever seen an action movie where people repel to get away?

Because it seems like that not that slowly it's easy to

shoot somebody well also it would be impossible to set up and repel that quickly right you have to find a base yes you have to yes exactly you have to be on boulet you

You have to have your

climbing shoes, your harness, your chalk bag.

Yeah.

Guys, guys, read the book.

It's in the fucking book.

That's what they did.

This movie stayed true to the original vision.

I got two final comments here.

One from a personal trainer.

All right, so what do you have for a personal training point of view?

I just wanted to warn people that if you are lifting weights and you're doing chest presses please do not rest the bar on your actual chest

pan crush your rib key but what if i what if i'm not a pussy

and again do you oh i have a question too and and feel free to weigh in or not if you have an opinion do you think these guys are juiced to the gills

yeah Can you achieve this naturally?

Yes, or how quickly can I look like this?

Remember, I'm 52.

Well, you know, RFK Jr.

is juiced, and he fully jacked in his 60s.

The healthiest guy in the world.

I swear to God,

every time he opens his mouth, it's like the Tasmanian devil is trying to tell me something.

Every press conference, it's like, what do you think about vaccines?

All right.

Well clearly there's a lot of opinions about this movie.

There are some people who even love this film.

It is now time for second opinions.

Hi, I'm Fern.

I'm Steve.

And we're both librarians, and this is a storytime classic.

Peter and David lifted lots of weights.

Grew awesome mullets and flipped some cars and planes.

I can't remember the rest of the plot.

So I'll give this rad movie five stars on Amazon.

I started

amazing guests.

Support your library.

I love our library.

Support your library.

Any other librarians here?

Where are the other librarians?

Stand up quick.

Stand up, librarians.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

Thank you, librarians.

That's right.

They're even in the balcony.

We got librarians in the balcony.

Whoa.

Everybody here is the librarian.

Everybody's the librarian.

Everybody.

There's too many librarians.

This was a trap.

This is all a doge.

It's a doge trap.

Too many librarians.

All right, there are 144 reviews on Amazon.

77% are five-star.

This one was written in 2016.

The author is BC,

and it looks like this person is responding to someone.

Do we think it's David Caridity?

Somebody else I met my first trip to LA.

Mr.

C?

Mr.

David Carrick.

Made him drink.

Made him drink.

He signed my autograph with a

yin yang.

Well, the crazy thing was, is like he was shooting a movie that in the future sex is outlawed, and he's trying to get it back on track.

Oh, wow.

And you, as a child, heard about this?

Well, they asked me to be an extranet, and I.

All right, BC writes: First off, it's David and Peter,

not John.

And it was released in 1992,

and it's a B movie.

This movie is full of puns and jokes that make this cop crook movie a bit better than the others.

The barbarians were a fun duo to watch on film, however, a director's nightmare by playing tricks, by pulling cars in the parking lot around with a chain, and not taking acting very seriously.

The few films they made are full of fun and enjoyment for the viewer.

This movie is at the top of my list.

Five stars.

Now, I don't know who he was yelling at before, but it seems like he's angry.

This is from Dupe for Life.

Dupe for Life writes: This

only had a few beer emoji, beer emoji, beer emoji.

Okay, these guys are built like brick shithes.

LOL, the arms on them, had me want to go and run through a wall.

Go watch it.

Good movie.

Jackson packed.

Enough said.

Five stars.

Wait, did you just say jacked and packed?

Jackson packed.

Jackson packed.

What does that mean?

I don't know.

But that guy is certain that we all do.

That guy's okay.

Jacked and packed would make sense.

Jacked and like six-packed.

Yeah, right.

Maybe the beers may be.

Oh, wait a minute.

Physical trainer, personal trainer, is

a common term.

Thank you.

Okay.

Yeah, we don't know.

She gets it.

You know, look, people love this movie because Sad Hydra writes, if you're mad at this movie, like, what the hell is wrong with you?

It's about beefy twins.

Five stars.

It's about.

And then finally, Alex writes this.

Has everything I could possibly want.

Great cat movie.

Five stars.

You know, what's never pointed out is that that cat is like just dead in the sink.

Just dead.

He doesn't go home again.

He doesn't appear to leave more baby food.

The cat was so thirsty and it like turned the water on, but there's no faucet.

No faucet.

Nothing occurred.

The water kept flowing into the sink, but then just getting soaked up by the litter.

Oh, God.

All right, so let me just give you a couple fun facts.

The barbarian's father,

in 1993,

proposed a barbarian's theme park, but it was never built.

What?

Honestly, our loss.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Proposed to who is a great question.

Did he just go up to someone like, hey, you should make a thief park?

You should make a whole thief park of that.

These guys.

Like, oh, I just, I'm, I just worked the register.

I don't know what you want me to do.

I would like some of the money out of it and go make my boys a ride to ride on.

It's like a tilty world, but it's them underneath it.

I'll get them to actually run all the rides.

They'll do it.

Okay, so this is how they kind of broke into the thing.

They were popular at Gold's Gym in Venice for their silly antics, like sticking smelly boots in each other's faces to kickstart their next feat of strength.

And then they created their own workout tape that was sold at Muscle and Fitness called the Barbarian Psyche Tape.

Their diet was 36 eggs, a dozen of amino acid capsules, and chocolate milk daily.

Can we get

a guest dog?

Okay.

That is very bad.

I don't know.

36 eggs doesn't sound bad.

36 eggs and chocolate?

Do you know how expensive that would be now?

Seriously.

36 eggs every day?

It's like an airwan smoothie.

Yeah.

They retired from acting,

but then they tried to break into the music industry when they started rapping.

They've released multiple songs, and they found their biggest success on the islands of Hawaii.

Woo!

You know what I

mean?

One lesson I did learn in this movie as an actor myself is that if you aren't a great actor and you have to deliver a line with sarcasm, the audience will not know if you are being sarcastic or if you were just continuing to act poorly as a character.

There was so much sarcasm in this, and I was like, was he being a dick or was he just saying his line?

Doing it bad.

Now, we did talk about the Playgirl magazine magazine shoot.

Beth was able to find the cover.

All right, so that is the cover.

They didn't even make the cover.

There it is, the Barbarian Brothers Pex Bad Boys Pose.

The cover is Christy McNichol?

Yeah, so that's their Playgirl magazine.

I can't, I can't.

I can't tell you how much,

as a solid Gen Xer, a 52-year-old, everybody in my high school looked like these guys.

Yeah, because you were close to Rhode Island.

I think Rhode Rhode Island is something that's very important to the barbarians.

Inexplicably background.

A bunch of suburban Massachusetts kids decided in my high school to take steroids, thinking it was going to get them into the NFL or something.

And they all had this exact same look and all the vascularity and the crop top.

All of it was giving me such high school bully vibes.

It was incredible.

It was triggering for you.

It was.

All they needed was like shaved lines in their head.

What a lot of people don't know is Jason looked exactly like this in high school.

Not far.

Pretty much.

Not far.

Minus the beard.

Just minus the gray.

Final thoughts on the movie.

Anything we did?

I mean, we didn't even get into.

Who cares?

Okay.

David Carradine was a great cameo.

The master thief.

They got him for one day.

They got a lot of people for one day on this movie.

But any, I mean, I loved it.

I loved it.

Yeah.

I loved it.

And I will very briefly mention that at the end, the big diamond heist, yes, they're all, I love the idea of

it's backpack-based vacuum cleaners, and we're just vacuuming up diamonds.

What a great idea.

Loved it.

But then they've got a clear out, they've installed clear windows.

So that it's obvious, like, it's just full of diamonds.

Yeah.

You can't then go walk out on the street and be like, we're just workers.

We just vacuumed up the diamonds.

Yeah.

We cleaned it real good.

That vacuum looks like when you go to the car wash, what they use.

It wasn't like a high-tech vacuum.

It was just something you do not.

These are shitty.

You're baby shells.

Just like Ghostbusters with no budget.

Yeah.

Like, we'll get them.

My question was, I don't know what a diamond exchange is, but do they lay them out individually for like, these are all of our diamonds.

And they're all the same size.

Tiny.

They're very tiny.

That diamond exchange was sad.

And it seemed like, I guess what it seemed like was that he was getting a way better haul robbing the diamond places in the beginning of the movie than they did at the end of the movie.

And you know what was a bit?

That's a great point.

What was a bit unsatisfying about the ending of the film is that I really felt like the brothers came together to fight the thing.

And then at the end of the day, the bad brother just like threw it all up in the air and stole the diamonds?

Or was that just a bit?

He's got to be him.

He's got to be him.

I guess, but doesn't that undo the entire movie?

Oh, do you know?

I'm so sorry.

Do you think there is an arc in this movie?

What did you foresee that?

I thought these characters had made some change.

So you were let down by the end.

That there wasn't enough barbarian brother growth?

There is.

It's just growth hormone.

Also, are we meant to believe that they have been building this subway for the express intent to get these diamonds?

Because that's a long way out.

Yeah.

Yeah, and also way more expensive than

the diamonds.

Yeah.

I would think.

I mean, how much money Kent Construction stands to make building a subway

grossly dwarfs the hall

that he's that he's splitting with Roddy McDowell.

And oh my god, we didn't talk about my favorite scene.

I'm so sorry.

My favorite scene is when the barbarian brothers are in the spa, they torture the guy in the tanning bed, they shred his clothes.

Oh, yeah.

Right?

And then they basically make it such as they burn him in the bed, they shred his clothes, so they're really trying to get under his skin, right?

Then he walks out, and they're watching him from the cop brothers absolutely demolished

Camaro.

He's driving like an absolute wreck.

Anyway, they're watching him, and they're like, ha ha, we got him.

And he comes out and he's walking.

Then they watch.

They're going to follow him and do whatever.

They watch as he is run over the most brutal multiple times

by a wild man of ginger violent yeah the way his legs are

that was some quentin tarantino shit like I was like I have to look away at one point the little tiny legs were just oh yeah

like the like the wicked witch's like curled up legs yes by the way we did mention Quentin Tarantino a bunch but you know who actually did cast them

Oliver Stone They were in Natural Born Killers.

They were deleted out of the film.

Robert Downey Jr.

interviews them, and Oliver Stone said, yeah, they were overacting.

It's my fault.

That was the

hit.

He took the hit for them.

Yeah, I did hit for him.

There's a world in which I guess maybe if they were more directable or if they were a little bit better actors, that they would have had like character bits in movies and TV for the last 30 to 40 years.

We would all be like, This is incredible.

Yeah, a staple.

This was an absolute delight.

It was.

I watched this on the plane today.

It was fun.

I felt the woman next to me being like, what the fuck?

Because I was like,

rewind, rewind, rewind.

Why would I be rewinding and taking notes?

Taking notes and honestly, sometimes taking notes like this.

Why are they driving in the car?

Like dictating notes into the phone, saying it out

like a lunatic.

When you guys said it was this movie, I thought it was going to be a Mary Kate and Ashley Olson.

I was hoping.

And I was like, what's happened to their show?

Well, I'll be honest,

for me, it meant only one thing, and it was that maybe this was going to be a movie starring the Double Trouble twins,

who were my first crush in The Wingsy Child.

And it did not.

But when I searched for this movie, that did come up.

So it does exist online, and I will now be watching all of the Double Trouble show.

Probably tonight in my hotel.

Great.

Good show.

All right, so we all recommend it.

Rory, tell people where they can find you.

You're in Denver or wherever,

whatever you want to tell them.

Tell them.

You can find me all over.

I do a show.

I'm doing a show at the Skylark Lounge on April 15th,

running my newest hour.

Those tickets are on sale soon.

And then myself and two other comedians, Adam Caden Holland and Ben Roy, do a show.

If you enjoy this, we do a show called Movie Night where we watch a movie and we basically do Mystery Science Theater 3000 live.

and we do that at the Bug Theater, and the next one is April 29th.

Come on down!

Woo!

If you don't mind, may I recommend everybody, I believe it's all on YouTube, Rory made an incredible TV show called Robbie

for Comedy Central that never aired on Comedy Central, but the entirety of it is on YouTube.

If you like things like Detroiters or Southside or anything that's funny, this show is absolutely fantastic.

I can't recommend it enough.

I love that.

Thank you.

As well as your stand-up special that is improvised, which is also dynamite.

Thank you.

Jess, anything you want to tell people to check out?

Well, love for you guys to listen to the deep dive.

Any deep divers in the house, significant women, everybody's welcome.

Woo!

And you can join our academy if you want to earn your degree in significance.

I love it.

Our accreditation is pending.

And also, you know what?

I'll promote your your local library.

Yeah, baby.

A lot of the movies we do on this show are hard to find.

Some of them are available at the library.

Canopy, hoopla, we know it all.

Libraries are amazing.

They've been a credible support for me and that and my book.

It's been awesome.

Oh, yeah.

What do you want to plug anything?

I'll plug Invincible, season three, just finished on Amazon Prime.

I will plug upcoming season 19 of Taskmaster UK.

If you don't think I give these British fucks the what for,

I do.

And the final season of Big Mouth is coming out at the end of May.

Yes.

Let's do it.

Let's fuck some pillows.

I will say that if you just want to watch a free show every week, Rob Hubel and I do a show called The Dark Web,

Claire, Roy's Cole Roll Post here.

Good night.

That's a wrap on Double Trouble.

And you know what?

The movie might have ended, but the Barbarian Brothers will live on in my mind.

I love doing these live shows.

They are so much fun.

If you want to come see how did this get made live, we're going to be in Toronto on May 9th.

I want to give a big shout out to Rory Scoville.

He is one of the greats.

Currently, he is living in Denver and doing amazing comedy shows there.

So if you are in Denver and you want to see great comedy comedy and movie-based comedy, because he has his own kind of mystery science 3000 night in Denver, check out what Rory's doing.

Follow him on all the social media platforms.

And then, if you want to see him in the rest of the country, you can.

It's just going to be a little bit more scatter shot because, you know, he doesn't live in everybody's place that you live in.

Anyway, you get how it works.

Another big thank you to Jessica St.

Clair.

It's been a blast having her on tour with us.

Dinosaur Improv is actually bringing one of Jessica St.

Clair's partners out with us in our shows in Toronto and Chicago.

I believe most shows are sold out except for the matinee on May 11th.

So if you want to see some early comedy, 4.30 p.m.

on May 11th, come out and see Dinosaur at the Den Theater.

I also want to thank the Paramount Theater where we performed in Denver.

Checked out Meow for the first time in Denver.

Awesome.

Went to an amazing mini golf place called Holy Moly.

No relation to the Steph Curry show.

And it was great.

Thank you, Denver, for taking such good care of us.

And you know who also takes good care of us?

Our manager, Beth Thomas.

That's right.

She makes sure every show goes so smoothly and that you can hear it.

Now, if you are a part of the show, you can get yourself the t-shirt that we designed live with the Denver audience.

It says PD, House of Iron, Narragansett, Rhode Island, snag that shirt, and a ton of other HTTGM merch at howdidthisgetmade.

dashery.com.

That's right.

We have a new place to get your merch.

Howdidthisgetmade.dashery.com.
