Road House Minute

Here's another project from Roger! In this podcast, he and two other podcast friends share a new movie each month -- actually, a movie that two of them like very much and that is totally new to the third person. Episodes will be dropping on the third Monday of each month, so check it out! Hosts: Susan Hill, Todd Kehoe, & Roger Wistar Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/threefortheshow/ E...

Listeners, we're back in your audio feeds for one more time, summoned back into the Road House Minute universe by the unveiling of the movie we never thought we needed and then found out that we were delightfully charmed by -- Doug Liman's 2024 remake of "Road House". This movie takes its low expectations and clears them by a Jasper-sized mile, and both Marcie and I were very ple...

We might have hit the nadir in our journey through the RHCU with this week's installment. And it's not going to do Kelly Lynch any favors. This week we delve into a vastly inferior 1989 film, the Gus van Sant drama "Drugstore Cowboy". By all accounts this is a critically acclaimed movie, but Marcie and I can't seem to figure out why. We'll need an amazing guest who can tu...

Our first foray into the Kelly Lynch extended universe is rather grim, which is surprising given the amount of neon lights and kitschy 80s tropes in this Tom Cruise vehicle, Cocktail (1988). Cruise has described it as "not my crowning jewel", and it would be hard to disagree. Still, attention must be paid and we will see what tasty flavors, if any, we can extract from this monument to ma...

Our second Sam Elliott vehicle is inarguably a better film -- it was nominated for eight Oscars, including Elliott's only Academy Award nom. This is the fourth edition of A Star is Born (2018), starring Elliott, Lady Gaga, and Bradley Cooper, who also directed. Joining us is a podcast star in her own right, Alice Lauren. No shallow takes in this episode, just a lot of love for Ally, Jack, and the...

We're your huckleberries in this next installment of Season Two as we explore a fan favorite from the Sam Elliott catalog, 1993's Tombstone. Although this western had a tortured production that produced some arguably messy results, it does feature some amazing acting by Elliott, Val Kilmer, Kurt Russell, and several other major character actors. And of course, it remains one of the most quotable a...

Our second film in Season Two is the movie that bridges Patrick Swayze's career between Road House and Point Break. And what a major shift in tone! It's the 1990 romantic movie "Ghost". In this episode, Swayze plays, well, a ghost, caught in limbo while trying to prevent his girlfriend from being attacked. We're in limbo as well about this movie, but we continue Couples Corner with another excelle...

Dear Road House Minute fans, please enjoy this special trailer episode for Roger's new project, the SPEED MOVIE MINUTE. If you enjoyed listening to Roger, Marcie, and guest Bentley Michaels break down the apocalyptic fight between Dalton and Jimmy, why not come back for a whole movie featuring both Roger and Bentley! Much of the same usual wackiness, plus some Pop Quizzes for all you hot shots out...

We begin our tour through the Road House Cinematic Universe with an iconic entry in the 1990s action movie canon, Point Break (1991). Patrick Swayze returns as another Zen action star, this time paired with Keanu Reeves in one of his earliest starring roles. And this time, Marcie and Roger are also paired with two bonafide experts on the film -- Jessa Lowe and Murren Kennedy, the hosts of the most...

The end of the credits -- damn, I can't get enough of Cody. Thank you to all the listeners and everyone who helped make Season 1 of Road House Minute into one of the best experiences of my life. Don't unsubscribe, though -- we promise to keep bringing you interesting content, just maybe a little less frequently or minutely!  All the best, Roger (and Marcie!) Hosts: Roger Wistar & Marcie W...

More credits, with the camera lingering on the bass player, before slowly retracing its path through the drummer back to Cody.

Cody continues to jam over more credits. They're really getting their Jeff Healey value here. The camera pans slowly from Cody to the drummer, and then to the bass player.

Collins Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/roadhouseminute/ Twitter & Instagram: @RHMinute Email: daltonsaysbenice@gmail.com Thanks to David T. Smith for our podc...

Dalton and Doc finish their aquatic escapades as we return to Cody jamming in the Double Deuce and the credits roll.

Smith for our podcast art.

The surviving cast enjoy an 80s sitcom-style laugh together, which seems altogether appropriate after conspiring to commit murder. Cody kicks it up a notch as we head into the credits, but not before another awkward scene of intimacy between Doc and Dalton, this time skinny-dipping with Cody in attendance.

The denouement begins as Red destroys the evidence by collecting everyone's shotgun. Tinker extricates himself from his taxidermic showdown. The Jasper police department arrives on the scene for the first time all movie. Good job, boys. The sheriff demonstrates his crack investigative skills, resulting in a round of Alibi-O-Rama. Our star witness, Tinker, is forced to admit that he lost to furnitu...

Doc arrives at Wesley Manor for reasons passing understanding, but fortunately just in time to see Dalton NOT kill a man for a change. Bad idea, as it turns out, since Wesley returns the favor by retrieving and brandishing his pistol. He then prophetically announces, "It's over!" before getting a shotgun blast to the chest from Red, then one from Emmet, then one from Stroudenmire, and finally the...

OK, fun and games are over. Dalton breaks Wesley's spear in half and kicks him onto a chair. But Wesley recovers and seems to be ready to impale Dalton before we get reminded that if you kick a man in the knee, he drops like a stone.  Wesley draws his tiny, tiny pistol, which Dalton quickly kicks away, and then prepares to deliver the Vulcan Throat Rip. Hosts: Roger Wistar & Marcie Wistar...

Brad Wesley seems to be trying to make peace with Dalton, now that he knows he can't beat him. But I doubt that Dalton shares his views of a Jasper with both of them still in it. He fails to find Dalton behind a stuffed bison -- should have checked the other side. Dalton emerges and the final fight begins. It would seem like Wesley should be no match for Dalton, except for his expert spear-throwin...

RIP Tinker -- you lost to a dead animal. At least you got in a few good shots before it fell on you. Dalton delivers a classic 80s action movie one-liner, then tries to hide from Wesley, who indicates he has an unusual plan for Dalton's body after he bags his trophy. Wesley continues to twist the knife (pun intended) about Wade, trying to draw Dalton out with his clever, clever words. Hosts: Roger...

Now we are down to two, and the mano y mano battle between Dalton and Wesley can begin. Wesley roams the house with a very large handgun, looking for Dalton. Oh sorry, we forgot about Tinker -- an understandable mistake given his ineptitude. Tinker nervously searches the house, ending up in a scary taxidermy room. His own fight to the death with a giant stuffed polar bear begins. Good luck, Tinker...

Ketchum continues his sweep of the house, looking for an elusive Dalton. Clearly his correspondence course in police tactics is paying off now -- at least in his mind. But his searches come up empty, and Dalton gets the jump on him. Dalton disarms Ketchum, forcing him to pull his knife -- the same knife that killed Wade. Dalton kicks the knife out of Ketchum's hand, and while throttling him, catch...

It's our third major pyrotechnic display as Dalton's Mercedes comes to a halt in a massive fireball. Turns out that the reason Dalton never drives that car is that it can explode at the drop of a hat. But where's Dalton? The body count begins to climb as Ketchum discovers the bodies of Morgan, then O'Connor. Hosts: Roger Wistar & Marcie Wistar Special Guest: Brian Boucher Facebook: www.faceboo...

This is it -- the musical score tells us that Dalton isn't messing around any more. It's now a fight to the death with Brad Wesley. But first, how do we get past an army of dimwitted henchmen? It's time for the gunfight at the Wesley Corral -- one unmanned drone car versus a hail of bullets.

Now with one major relationship in his life seemingly destroyed, Dalton is about to make an even more horrifying discovery. Turns out that Wade was the target all along -- it was tails.

Dalton demands that Doc leave with him, but Doc adamantly refuses, still horrified by the death of Jimmy. Dalton is having none of it, grabbing her roughly and insisting that they leave. Doc pulls away, and indicates to Dalton that she views him and Wesley as one and the same, before telling him to get out. Accepting the rejection, Doc heads back to the Double Deuce. Hosts: Roger Wistar & Marc...
