Road House Minute Road House Minute

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 pleasantly surprised by the results.

Come listen to us break down this new entry into the RHCU with the surgical precision of a man suturing his own gash. We'll compare major characters, plot, special effects, music, and oh so much more. And at the end of the day, is it possible that the new version is better than its original inspiration? You'll have to listen to find out!

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 turn our episode up to 11, and that's what we get in Sean German, host of Spinal Tap Minute and Groundhog Day Minute. He loves this movie almost as much as Nadine loves Dilaudid.

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 materialism. Joining us with his own flair is podcaster extraordinaire Mark Hofmeyer -- let's see how this movie stacks up for him against some of his other projects, Deep Blue Sea and Con Air.

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 rest of the cast.

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 and memeable movies to this day. We'll be joined by two excellent podcast hosts from Predator Minute, Cliff Stevenson and Aaron Landerville. See if you can count how many times Roger incorrectly calls Val Kilmer "Doc Hollywood" in this episode -- how lewd!

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 excellent pair of married guests, Rick and Julia Ingham from the Mad Max Minute. What does Mad Max have to do with Ghost? Absolutely nothing!
