Crazy for Swayze

Shane brings us another Whitaker watchable, this time from Mr. Suicide Squad himself: David Ayer. Keanu plays a character we haven't seen much from him in the past, as does Forest. This is the weirdest kind of copaganda. Keanu gets S.W.A.Y.Z.E. Methoded. Shane fixes The Lake House. This movie is probably more enjoyable than we wanted to give it credit for.

Tim Allen rejoins the Swayze Boys for another late 80's comedy classic, so you know we're talking pinball machines and Keanu's comedic chops. We love this guy. He CAN act! Check out Tim's band, Bathroom of the Future: https://bathroomofthefuture.bandcamp.com/ and here for videos from Cow Haus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9APvJPTv4I&list=PL13dvb5HtkBzMYGyUd_gy5OakTc9eXoSR

Mike Smith, advocate for devils, returns for our first installmant in Keanu Week. Florida lawyer, Keanu Reeves, moves to the big city, meets his maker (Pacino), and makes a lot of questionable decisions - including but not limited to ignoring and thought-cheating on his wife (Charlize Theron). But don't worry! It's just a test. Meanwhile, this movie hates women! [Trigger Warning: multiple...

Tyler Smith and Samantha Marshment (3 of 4 Marshments collected so far!) guide us through Charlie Kaufman's joint attempt with Spike Jonze to adapt a movie about flowers. WE DIDN'T EVEN TALK ABOUT BRIAN COX PLAYING AN ACTUAL PERSON!!

Danny Bolterstein hosts and brings long-time friend, Bud Koltys, to see a movie about the adventures of Mark Wahlberg's big dumb prostehetic dick, the death of an artform, and friends they make along the way. It's called cooperative overlap - not interrupting! Check out Podsten Dunstcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/3McxRHYfCXdnaL4bJ7cMud?si=062acf7ee83b4eaa and over on Patreon.com for E...

Your humble hosts affix their eyes, and their eyes alone, on a Kathryn Bigelow sci-fi flick that is, of course, 100% pure adrenaline. No guests, no bullshit, just two dudes talking about a movie made by a lady that [TRIGGER WARNING] features two first-person depictions of sexual assault. James Cameron is a sick, slippery fuck. patreon.com/nooneworkhere for bonus content

Cowboy specialist and romantic partner, Mal, returns again for a vengeance, female-led, cowboy-themed Mortal Kombat. Keith David! Gene Hackman! Sharon Stone! A NATIVE AMERICAN CHARACTER WHO CAN'T BE KILLED BY BULLETS (until he can)! LITERALLY JIGSAW! This movie has it all.

Jordan gets out of the house and meets the Swayze Boys in the metaphorical woods for another crack at Swayze's classic 80's family drama. Josh insists on describing John Milius as a fascist despite the word's actual definition. Vince tells us about the magic of things falling off the back of a truck. Jordan asks about The Bechdel Test.

Middle-Tooth Expert, Alicia Massey, and Factoid-Bringer, Pickle Fritz, meet each other for the very first time, then Jo finally introduces herself and her co-host, Mal. In our Top Gun, Iceman is the hero and Maverick is the villain. The gals treat Meg Ryan as their Swayze stand-in, sync up their cycles, and crown 2024 #wetgirlsummer. Thanks to Chez Kane for the exact music we needed. JO FORGOT, BU...

Our esteemed Remake Expert returns for our first remake rewatch. Josh provides likely-mis-information about North Korea, and we all want more for Jed to do aside from being the personification of jingoism. What did he do in the Marines and why does this movie refuse to address it? And did they really expect us to take North Korea as a serious threat? Thanks to Skachibaches for the CCR cover!

Forest Whitaker specialist, Shane Stroud, shows the Swayze Boys a video-game-adaptation of a movie that's, ostensibly, about the horrors of war. Josh has generational trauma about Vietnam. Vince tries to reason out why he thinks this movie *might* be better than Natural Born Killers. Thanks to The Suicide Machines for a song that answered our question about draft-eligible ages! EDIT: The new L...

Madison Vogler, equine expert, rejoins your humble hosts for a quintessential 90's disaster flick that's more explosions than...... really anything else. Early on, Madison declares that this movie is for and about "sick fucks," and we can't help but agree. Thanks to The Suicide Machines for a much better version of the R.E.M. song - theirs actually ends!!! (EDIT: L.O.W.E. R.O...

Our last remaining dad, Eric Ketchum, rejoins the Swayze Boys, and this time we're headed to Laos to get our boys back from Vietnam (again). We're going to free the POWs, even if most of them were probably already dead! Dadvice #7: Don't forget how to be a kid.

Andrew Zalewski and Korey Brisendine - dads old and new, respectively - meet up with the Swayze Boys at The Nathan Arizonã Unpainted Furniture Emporium for another dadly cromedy romp. Dadvice #5: Let 'em cook! Dadvice #6: Drive responsibly. The Mizzerables: https://themizzerables.bandcamp.com/music

Guitar dads, Andrew Synder and Tom Skill, talk soundtrack and The Amino Acids in our conversation about a movie with a wild cast and odd understanding of time. Remember when living in the van down by the river was a threat instead of something your mom would like to try out? Dadvice 3: Be patient. Dadvice 4: Communication is key; don't be afraid to ask for help! Broadcast from Cow Haus: (Podcast):...

Let's revisit the Patrick Swayze Girldad Classic, Father Hood, with some more-lively guests. Featuring: More Kevin Bacon and Kurt Russell nonsense, and Tim the Toolman Tailor grunts until we're home. Dadvice 1: Hobbies. Dadvice 2: Don't prepare.

The Swayze Boys head back to where it all began and meet Disney Expert Kadee Spangler down in Texas (where a man still has enough elbow-room to wander). The SWAYZE Method returns! This episode is sponsored by Letterboxd.

Andrea Kaminski brings her recreational-sports-organizing expertise to the SwayzePod for another movie where Billy Bob is BAD, but this time, so are the kids! We deep-dive on William Robert's filmography and whether or not he has always been old. New cloud just dropped: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperitas_(cloud)

Neighbor and actual film professional Shawn Neil joins us for a movie where anything CAN(NES) happen, but barely anything does. Classic boomer shit. Achetypal nonsense. Cryptobeastiality. Full-frontal nudity! LITERAL PENETRATION! It's everything and nothing all at once. The CREEM documentary: https://www.creem.com/documentary RESYNATOR trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qu6KZjsAM0A&t=121s

Jo and Kyle - two thirds of Forest Bakery - join the Swayze Boys on a trip across The Pond to shack up with The Bean Family and their inexplicable house keeper. This podcast is very mysterious. Deal with it. Forest Bakery: https://www.instagram.com/forestoakpark/?hl=en

Padawan Katie Foster joins Jedi Masters- The Swayze Boys - for the first Star Wars sequel (?) that ruined everyone's childhoods. Pod racing! Child slavery! Offensive accidents! Vince's George Lucas impression! This episode has it all.

Friend and Letterboxd afficianado, Ian Spratt, rejoins the Swayze Boys for the sequel that would kill itself if it could: ROBOCOP 2. This movie stars everyone's favorite Civil War-Era Piano-man as Robocop's greatest nemesis yet, rivaled only by a man cursed to be a child.

Korey Brisendine joins the Swayze Boys for a trip back in time and into "The Old West." Early on, Josh mistakes Wheel of Fortune for Jeopardy (or vice versa?) and never recovers. Then, Vince misplaces Clint Eastwood in spacetime. Korey does math! And that's before we even watch the movie!! I'll bet Bobby Zemeckis loves online sports betting. This episode is sponsored by the Ford...

Matrixologist, Alicia Massey, rejoins the Swayze Boys for a final dip into everyone's favorite Jesus allegory. Neo is back, y'all, and this time The Matrix is undoubtedly capitalism. Lana Wachowski sets the record straight on the original trilogy's legacy, and drives home the themes we should've been paying attention to the whole time. This time, Yaya's fits are the powerhouse of the film. Alicia'...

Let's cut the bullshit on the Swayze Boy's Irish (and, secretly, Brother) Month. Dan Stover and Brother/Irish Revolution Expert Justin Dolan Stover school us on a real Irish film and real Irish history. Guys, being Irish isn't a joke.
