Episode 11: Raising Arizona (Part 1)

On today's installment we welcome Maria's new roommate, Carri (mentioned briefly in our Transformers commentary and made a brief appearance in our Footloose commentary)! Carri claims that Raising Arizona is the funniest movie yet filmed. I could not produce a counter-argument.

This episode marks the first and possibly last use of the JMMCP theme music! Ten minutes on Garageband. No joke. Yeah, I know it totally sounds like two minutes, but yeah. Ten minutes.

Before I forget, let me just mention that I mentioned during the commentary that Fred Ward, the guy from Tremors, is in this movie. He is not. Nathan Arizona Sr. is actually played by Trey Wilson.

For the most part, I can't think of any good captions for these screen grabs. None that would do justice anyway.
Actually this shot is pretty interesting because I totally lifted it for a film I shot in high school called Asbestos Man vs. Evil Man. Actually "film" is a pretty strong word for what it was. Anyways the pic on the left is Raising Arizona the right pic is AMvEM. You can view the YouTube version here.

Episode 10: Footloose (Part 2)

Ok, part 2 is where things start getting a little crazy. Maybe we shouldn't do the podcast in the front room anymore, because we got crashed a few times. I've got awesome friends though, and just about everybody had something to say. The credited "artists" for this particular podcast should read: Jon, Maria, Monica, Melinda, Joseph, Carri and Rhett -- definitely a new record! Hopefully you can hear Joe talking about how awesome of a movie Ricochet is. Personally, I think it's a total highlight. Also, that clicking sound you hear through half of the audio file is just Joe and Carri playing Guitar Hero in the other room. So, in short... we had a lot of fun, and you can tell. Hopefully it doesn't sound too annoying though.

Anyway, part 2 starts with chapter 7.

This one shot is better than the entire Wild Hogs movie.

LIGHTS! Aaaaugghhhh!

These moves are too dangerous to be performed indoors

See that mountain back there? It's Mount Timpanogos and it's just a few miles north of Provo. I've been to the top. Jealous?

This chick is named Leslie and I think it's Melinda's sister-in-law. I'm not sure. Melinda went back to Texas. Melinda, if you're reading this, do you want to elaborate?

Episode 10: Footloose (Part 1)

I just have to say first of all that Footloose is a heckuva film. I totally forgot how good it is and I'm not saying that in some campy or ironic way or anything. It's just awesome and I had a real good time watching this one. With that said, I'm really sad to say that we must've talked over one of my favorite parts which is when Ren is telling Willard about this girl he met in a club in the big city. They're in the cafeteria. Even if you don't take part in the commentary, watch that part. It's great.

Joining us this week are Maria's two sisters: Monica and Melinda. Melinda made the trip all the way from Texas! Say Hooray!

Here's the scene I was talkin' about where Ren is telling Willard about the crazy chick he met in a club. Notice the guy who offers Ren a joint later in the movie is staring him down and pointing in the background.The movie never mentions where it's set, but notice that it's a cop from somewhere called "Bayson County." There's a town in Utah south of Provo called Payson, fyi. The cop is uncredited, but I'm pretty sure he's a Mormon actor who has appeared in several LDS films.
Melinda knows this chick driving the car. I can't remember the story. Just listen to the commentary for goodness' sake!I was gonna think of a funny caption for this shot, but it's probably not even necessary.
This awkward shot proves that Kevin Bacon and Lori Singer did their own dancing.
I haven't seen that much blood in a teenager movie since Johnny Depp exploded in A Nightmare on Elm Street
Humor! Dancing! Drama! Footloose even has a car sequence of Tarantino-esque proportions!
Here's a little bonus shot from that same scene. Footloose also has a hint of sex.

Episode 9: Step Up (Part 2)

Part 2 begins with Chapter 8. The chapter is called "What do you want?" I sure hope you want dancing, cuz I have a feeling you're in for dance-tastic long haul.

Yeah, this is where they decide to kiss -- right in front of mom. Don't these kids know anything about being teenagers?

Look at the lurpy white boy try to dance! Ha ha! Man, we are so lame.
This is the biggest glass of orange juice ever put to film.
The ending is all inspirational and all that, but who is that munchkin in the background?
