TRC: Ep. 99 Road House

The Recasting Couch Movie Podcast

Road. House.

This has been a long time in the making. We planned on doing it earlier and then it left streaming. Now that it’s back, we are ready to fulfill our destiny. I reveal that I have never seen this before. Mike constantly ridicules me. You know. Our standard shit. But we are back in the studio, and we recorded this only a few hours before the super fun live show for the Philly Pod Fest, so we are in rare form.

Road House is the documentary about the life of Patrick Swayze if he never became an actor. Co-starring Sam Elliott and Kelly Lynch, this movie is just fucking fun. A totally ridiculous plot, followed by a completely over the top villain (Ben Gazzara), and an incredibly lax police department. It’s a recipe for awesomeness.

How would you rather die? Throat ripped out or a polar bear falling on you in slow motion? It’s a tough call. Honestly, I couldn’t even decide which one is a funnier way to die. The magic claw of throat ripping is funny in a different way. Polar bear is some classic comedy shit. I think I go polar bear only if I’d be guaranteed some wacky sound effects as it happens. Otherwise it would just feel like a tree falling in the woods, you know what I mean? Me neither.

Thank you to everyone who came out to Philly Podcast Festival (@phillypodfest)! We had so much fun that we’re thinking about trying to organize another live pod. If that sounds like something you’d want to go to, hit us up publicly on twitter @recastingpod or privately by email us at [email protected]

Shout out also to Tattooed Mom (@Tmoms) for hosting us (and the festival at large) and Obie Media for recording the show. That episode will drop next week.
