Do you really think all hollywood movies today are bad? I understand that most of the franchises are dead but the new original stuff I feel has been mostly good.
Clarence spent all his days in a comic book store and his nights watching movies and/or listening to Elvis... that's why he is and acts a certain way, that's his backstory = trying to be a Hero, but as it is real life he runs into consequences and problems. Great movie - five out of five stars!
I can see how some people would say that it is sloppy and weird not in a good way; characters being introduced all over the place then killed off, almost unexisting backstories, motivations, arc, etc. However is one hell of a ride, and easily one of the most rewatchable movies I've ever seen.
Gary Oldman is what is known as an actual actor. That's why he different in every role. Most actors just play themselves. Anyone who can convincingly play a drug dealer/pimp and also play Winston freaking Churchill knows what he's doing.
Great stream Drinker ! You and Gary play off each other well, especially talking about this truly awesome 90s classic. Turned into a bit of an MCU stream at the end with MauLer, but not surprising after the crappy Black Widow and rubbish finale of Loki, which everyone is keen to discuss...with disgust. Cheers !
Thank god, I'm old enough to know all those fantastic movies! Must really suck to be born after the 90's, when the world totally got to this horrorshow we all live in now. ;b
This is one of my all time favorites. There is so much good stuff in there. That Hopper Walken scene , the ridiculously star studded cast (today's stars)
Tarentino can make Reservoir Dogs budget movies from the change he finds in his couch and people would still pay to watch them. It would actually make him much more money.
I can’t help but feel Tarantino has lost some of his magic. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood has its moments, but for the most part it feels like a step down from the guy who made Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill 1 and 2 and Inglourious Basterds.
@@Garrus1995 There's a difference when a person is struggling to make things, and when he can just make whatever he wants with no issues. I think Tarintino is the kind of guy who thrives more when it's tough.
@@UnbeltedSundew Yeah. I feel like maybe he’s just resting on his laurels. He no longer has that hunger that drove his early career because he is so successful that anything he throws at the wall will just stick because his name is on it. He has said that his next film will be his last film; I hope it’s a good farewell to a guy who at one time made the best films in Hollywood.
I love this movie and so glad you and Nerdrotic chose to cover it. Even though Tarantino didn't direct this one, the writing and dialogue are unmistakably him, so I always thought of this as a kind of "lost" Tarantino movie. Great cast and incredibly memorable. Great content as always, Drinker!
I'm sure someone already mentioned it, but that Hans Zimmer song, "You're so cool" borrows its theme from Carl Orff's classical piece, Gassenhauer. I remember loving it in "True Romance" because it was also used in "Badlands" which has a similar Bonnie & Clyde type of plot. It was a great echo of another great film-- gotta love Tony Scott for that.
Thank God for both of you. My wife doesn't appreciate movies like I do, so she doesn't talk about or watch many. You guys give me what I need to survive. "Yeah Safari Motel"
I can't decide who has the best chemistry with Drinker- Gary, Mauler or Az. But it doesn't matter. Each combination has it's own charm. Absolutely love this series.
@@RRTNZ Dankula and Drinker had a great Scottish rapport, and Sargon is so well spoken he would sound great with almost anybody. I was thinking specifically of guys he's had on multiple times. I suppose if I HAD to choose one guy for the Happy Hours, it would be Gary. No knock on anyone else, but Gary is older and has seen more of the movies I love it seems. Sorry Longman.
@@andrewconrad2859 Agree, Gary is the same age as me, about 13 or so years older than the Drinker, so he brings a different perspective- some of the classic films Drinker loves so much Gary would have seen in the cinema, rather than on VHs or TV. MauLer is very clever but gives long critiques and explanations that slow down the stream ( same with Shad) , whereas Gary keeps is pretty straightforward. Finally, Gary gets massive points because True Romance was his choice, and that's a sign of excellent taste. So, Gary would be my first choice.
@@RRTNZ eloquent and concise. excellent summation. I couldn't agree more. I'm 48 myself and can notice the full and partial generation gaps with some of the fellas. Gary is so relatable to my age group that my liberal yet non-Woke (thank God) buddy became an instant fan after Drinker led him to Nerdrotic. All that said, the common denominator is Mr. Jordan, and he is a treasure. Be well 👍
Catching this video years after, but wanted to add that this movie is indeed a marvel. Really surprised that you lads talked about it cos I also haven't come across anybody who's seen it. Great video; 3 hours nicely spent. PS: first movie I remember with Christian Slater is "Pump up the Volume"
The Drinker has not seen the Duelists ????? Perhaps he is too young to have seen it back in the day, but I still think it may be Ridley Scott's best movie. Limited budget, an economical script, a beginning, a middle and a very satisfying end. And almost every single frame is a little work of art. Plus it has Harvey Keitel, Diana Quick, and some great animal performances (by animals).
I’m catching up on all your work, Drinker. It’s a great channel. We’re the same age and our taste is remarkably similar. In an earlier episode you said you hadn’t seen True Romance (or couldn’t remember) and my brother, I wanted you to see it so much. Imagine my joy to find this gem! Nerdrotic is a great guest too 👍🏼❤️🤓
The True Romance theme song is actually borrowed from Gassenhauer nach Hans Neusiedler (1536) arranged by German composer Carl Orff. The use of this piece in cinema dates back to Terrence Malick’s Badlands (1973) but it’s also been used in Ratcatcher (1999), Finding Forrester (2000), Monster (2003) and Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story (2009). In other words, don’t thank Zimmer juuuust yet.
No fan of Zimmer here, but he did give it a new arrangement and expanded the melody. There are a few videos of folks trying to do the version for lute.
I remember reading the review on the Friday it was released and the critic mentioning Tarantino's quirky dialogue so I had is name in my mind. Just from the cast alone and Tony Scott I went to see it on the first weekend and I will never forget the local drug dealer, big black kid named Yoti was jumping out of his seat and laughing so loud during the Walken/Hopper scene that it made it alright for everyone else to laugh. That scene was even borderline for 92 never mind today. It seemed that Tarantino's rise was super quick after that flick, Reservoir dogs was getting buzz at Sundance and came out not too long after and then Pulp Fiction. In reality it was a two year period that changed modern film.
I prefer the original. The linear storytelling was more engaging and I'm glad they changed the ending. Alabama's monologue after Clearance's death frustrated me and ended too sour of a tone. Not saying I want all movies to end happy, but it works just fine in this movie.
@@Jordie_42 I think that's the US uncensored directors cut, I only found out about that awful ending last year. Completely agree and I'm so glad that's not the version I love.
@@MoviesRemastered It was an alternate ending on the DVD. The Director’s Cut keeps Clarence alive, but Alabama shoots the Chris Penn character instead of the Paul Ben-Victor mobster still being alive
Thanks@@triangleman2k6 . This has got me to research different versions and there seems to be 3. Inc a extra seen with Jack black ushering people out the cinema. I'm gonna try to get all versions and edit my own epic. cut Cheers Drinker! You've reignited my love for this movie. 🍻
As it happens, I was in Taos, NM the day after Dennis Hopper was buried there. He was buried in an old church yard that looks, well, like a paupers graveyard complete with homemade crosses and headstones. And we (me and my gf) could drive right up to it, and it was covered with hand painted stones, mostly referencing Easy Rider. It was surreal.
I few years ago a collegue of mine told me that she don't want to watch a movie because it was old. In fact older than ten years. I could not understand this attidute at all. Are movies getting worse just because they are not made within the last few years? What about books? Should we only engange with things that are not older than a few years? What's the logic behind it? What should we do with the movies made from Alfred Hitchcock? Are they from ancient times now and should be avoided at all costs or maybe even better: burned? Or all this legendary movies from the seventies like "Chinatown" or "Taxi Driver"? If you ask me this movies almost get more interesting when they get older. Not only do we made a a travel in time when we watch them but in addion they are truly timeless and will never lose their value.
@@Dunderslag Actually I used Older in quotes because I still don't think of movies that came out in the 90's as old yet. Late 60's to early 70's movies are where my definition of Old or older movie actually starts. But then again can you blame me I remember when 8 tracks were just starting to be replaced by cassette tapes and no one had heard of a CD let alone a DVD or Blu-ray. But yeah I agree the older they get the more interesting they are.... Provided they were at least an OK movie to begin with. Movies like Travolta's Battlefield Earth.... Yeah I don't think any amount of aging could save it.
Good evening Mr. Drinker. Can you do a review on the Departed please? It’s one of my favorite Scorsese films, and highly under appreciated in my opinion.
The great thing about this movie is you have no idea what you're getting into. I showed it to some of my much younger brother's friends who'd never heard of it, and for the first ten minutes they thought they were watching a cheesy romantic film. Then the Drexxl scene happened and everyone in the room went "what the hell?" ... lots of themes in this movie about the malign influence of TV and films, something Tarantino also explored and was hammered home with zero subtlety by Oliver Stone in "Natural Born Killers".
What a film. Absolutely fantastic. Did you know that Hopper and Walken did the script word for word? They didnt change a thing. Its that good. Gary Oldman - The music by Hans Zimmer -fucking timeless. Patricia Arquette pre woke. gorgeous. Her and her best unsupporting actresses!! BTW drinker, I think its 1994 not 1992.
Wow I had never seen this film until you did the stream for it. I read that QT wrote it and was curious about it but never watched it. I got a few minutes into the stream and decided I needed to watch it. Such a good movie. Really enjoyed it. Thanks for the recommendation.
Watching ur live today so I know I'm late. Just had to say...one,best boss ever! And two is on love at first sight, I met my man in a gas station parking lot when he was working a 12+ hr a day factory job and was living in a tiny truck. After talking for couple hours, He came home with me and he's been with me everyday since November 2nd,1999. I had to go through a true life character arc. I fucked up, totally failed at marriage, and gave up after a nightmare year when I met him. I wouldn't have seen or appreciated him had I not been such a miserable asshole for the couple years beforehand. We been together longer than my parents were.
Still to this day my favorite movie of all time . I can say it word for word . My ex-wife is Sicilian , I have used the Dennis Hopper lines on her at least 60 times , I'm sure you can guess she did NOT like it .
The main theme in True Romance is called “You’re So Cool” and it’s an interpolation of CARL ORFF’s 1536 piece, _Gassenhauer._ A slightly different interpolation was used as the main theme in Terrance Malick’s BADLANDS. The recursive, intertextual nature of the score is one of my favorite things about True Romance. It mirrors the narrative’s pop culture kaleidoscope to a tee.
1:54:22 A great sports movie starring Kurt Russell is Miracle, about the US Men's Ice Hockey team defeating the Soviet Union in the semi-finals of the 1980 Winter Olympics hockey tournament
This is probably the strongest cast of any film I can think of - fuckin _everybody_ is in this thing! Its box office performance was utterly incongruous.
What a great movie! I absolutely loved watching it. Me and all my pals were entranced by it, and that rarely happens nowadays. Some of them will be looking at their phones, and some will talk about random stuff, which pisses me the fuck off. But with this one, it was quiet as a tomb.
I thought the story on the script for True Romance that the money Tarantino got from selling the script was the money he used to make Reservoir Dogs. Yes Dogs came out first, TR was made afterwards.
Guys, you should review Banshee and Warrior. I mean, they are recent shows and they could "do it nowadays". Those are sexy violent brilliantly written shows.
Most authentic thing is brad pitts honey bear bong. That was kind of a popular hippy phish head thing back in colorado, then they put it in this movie.
Why the fuck have I not seen this movie? I saw reservoir dogs, pulp fiction, etc back in the day. True romance and reservoir dogs are on HBO Max. Thanks for talking about this movie. I guess I ignored it because of the title. Didn’t even look at who made it. I caught the last part of the live stream, and the rest the next day on the repost.
love to see a breakdown of the show "Doom Patrol".. only JUST now found out about it.. and seems to be actually better than most Marvel stuff out there ( Its DC ).. and Brendan Fraser, one of the few Nice Guys in Hollywood, has a nice comeback as Robot Man in this show.. i love it........... but, i just love this stuff anyway.. and it dont seem " woke".. so GO DC...... get your comic freak on !!
I’m from the same city as one of the writers of L.A. Confidential (Brian Helgeland) - New Bedford, Massachusetts. It’s a not a huge city so I always think it’s cool whenever someone from here makes it big.
Richard Lynch set fire to himself in 1967 in a drug fueled haze but survived. After extensive therapy and reconstruction he went on to a successful career in tv and film but due to his somewhat distinct appearance, he was relegated to mostly bad guy heavies. Even though he got stuck in a niche, he was good at what he did and a fine character actor. His last work was with Rob Zombie for Halloween and The Lords of Salem, but he was in such poor health for Salem that Zombie regrettably had to replace him with Andrew Prine. By that time he was mostly blind and died not too long after of what appeared to be natural causes.
This film only got me interested with the amazing cast but written by Quentin tarrentino. This came out around reservoir dogs. But on the eve of pulp fiction the following year
These Happy Hours have become therapy sessions for all the broken hearts Hollywood has created from ruining the craft and our characters.
Do you really think all hollywood movies today are bad? I understand that most of the franchises are dead but the new original stuff I feel has been mostly good.
What are you talking about? I was on a film set just last week and lemme tell ya, the Crafty table was _excellent._

Theme song is from Badlands with Martin Sheen
I enjoy these live streams.
The main theme in True Romance is called “You’re So Cool” and it’s an interpolation of CARL ORFF’s 1536 piece, _Gassenhauer._ A slightly different interpolation was used as the main theme in Terrance Malick’s BADLANDS. The recursive, intertextual nature of the score is one of my favorite things about True Romance. It mirrors the narrative’s pop culture kaleidoscope to a tee.
That theme song was recently used in a commercial and did anyone mention the producer character was completely based on Joel Silver.
1:16:54 Tarantino born in Tennesse is a huge Elvis fan. Tarantino appeared in the TV show Golden Girls as one of many Elvis impersonators.
That song was first used in this film but has been used in alot of tv adverts
It’s always so strange seeing the face of the drunken man.

One of the best films of all time.
Please do a Happy Hour of Dead Man's Shoes.
1:54:22 A great sports movie starring Kurt Russell is Miracle, about the US Men's Ice Hockey team defeating the Soviet Union in the semi-finals of the 1980 Winter Olympics hockey tournament
Still in my top 3 movies.
Sports Comedy? Nothing can beat Slap Shot. The cast, the lines (!), shaggy chest 70s, Paul Newman killing it. Nothing will ever top that movie.
Love your work, man.
Can't wait for the drinker recommends on this one.
This is probably the strongest cast of any film I can think of - fuckin _everybody_ is in this thing!
Its box office performance was utterly incongruous.
I was the only person who saw this at the movie theater back in 1993… 😎
I didnt. Such a great movie too.
I love that tune
Christian Slater is good in young guns 2, true romance, broken arrow, and hard rain.
Pump Pump the Volume, Heathers
I adore this flick.
What a great movie! I absolutely loved watching it.
Me and all my pals were entranced by it, and that rarely happens nowadays.
Some of them will be looking at their phones, and some will talk about random stuff, which pisses me the fuck off. But with this one, it was quiet as a tomb.
Paused this podcast, sailed the High Seas, watched the movie without even a piss break. Fucking awesome!
I thought the story on the script for True Romance that the money Tarantino got from selling the script was the money he used to make Reservoir Dogs. Yes Dogs came out first, TR was made afterwards.
These two gents together are fucking GOLDEN!
Beep Bop Boop
Tarantino's best movie
Guys, you should review Banshee and Warrior. I mean, they are recent shows and they could "do it nowadays". Those are sexy violent brilliantly written shows.
Hopper was great in " True Grit" with John Wayne
Most authentic thing is brad pitts honey bear bong. That was kind of a popular hippy phish head thing back in colorado, then they put it in this movie.
Why the fuck have I not seen this movie? I saw reservoir dogs, pulp fiction, etc back in the day. True romance and reservoir dogs are on HBO Max. Thanks for talking about this movie. I guess I ignored it because of the title. Didn’t even look at who made it. I caught the last part of the live stream, and the rest the next day on the repost.
You are in for a treat! Enjoy!
I might have to get the new Arrow 4K remaster shipped from the UK in case there’s not a Region 1 release
This movie absolutely holds my fairy tale ending
@1:20:29…in the director’s cut, it was Alabama; in the theatrical cut, it was a dying gangster.
You and Christian are tight man, we need to get him on the stream. That cracked me up. No hate
Thank you Nerdrotic. I agree I am sexy.
love to see a breakdown of the show "Doom Patrol".. only JUST now found out about it.. and seems to be actually better than most Marvel stuff out there ( Its DC ).. and Brendan Fraser, one of the few Nice Guys in Hollywood, has a nice comeback as Robot Man in this show..
i love it........... but, i just love this stuff anyway.. and it dont seem " woke".. so GO DC...... get your comic freak on !!
It becomes very woke sadly. Brendan Fraser was so fucking good though.
Watching after working a late night, cheers Drinker, feck off cup!!
Don’t make me make LA Confidential into the new Quigley Down Under - just watch and review it already, you won’t regret it.
Now that would be a great review....awesome script
I’m from the same city as one of the writers of L.A. Confidential (Brian Helgeland) - New Bedford, Massachusetts. It’s a not a huge city so I always think it’s cool whenever someone from here makes it big.
Might be my favorite movie of all time
Richard Lynch set fire to himself in 1967 in a drug fueled haze but survived. After extensive therapy and reconstruction he went on to a successful career in tv and film but due to his somewhat distinct appearance, he was relegated to mostly bad guy heavies. Even though he got stuck in a niche, he was good at what he did and a fine character actor. His last work was with Rob Zombie for Halloween and The Lords of Salem, but he was in such poor health for Salem that Zombie regrettably had to replace him with Andrew Prine. By that time he was mostly blind and died not too long after of what appeared to be natural causes.
Drinker you should consider doing a video on 'Three Billboards outside Ebbing'. One of.my favourite films in recent years
This film only got me interested with the amazing cast but written by Quentin tarrentino. This came out around reservoir dogs. But on the eve of pulp fiction the following year
