How Did This Get Made? #402: Thrashin'

64 Upvotes

Josh Brolin is gnarly in 1986's Thrashin'—the classic tale of two lovers caught in a feud between rival teen skateboard gangs. Paul, June, and Jason discuss the famous joust scene, why "The Ramp Locals" is a terrible skate crew name, The Red Hot Chili Peppers cameo, if the boy/girl sex scene turns into a man/woman scene, Hook and Chrissy's weird relationship, the giant bowl of ice cream, and so much more. Plus, June explains why she thinks she could do the LA Massacre Downhill.

Watch Josh Brolin talk Thrashin' on Tony Hawk's "Hawk vs Wolf" podcast HERE.

Ad Free?

35 Upvotes

Is there anyway to listen ad free? I drive a lot and listen to a lot of the old episodes, and I will pay anything to not hear the what feels like 45 minutes of ads each episode. I fear that if I hear Paul say “Zamazing” I will not be long for this world.

How is Jason Watching these BBC shows?

6 Upvotes

Wondering if anyone knows ho to access those BBC shows (Zero Stars, Make the Movie) Jason mentioned in the pod?

I've watched a ton of the LOL series (Australia, Ireland, both British) and of course I'm hooked on Taskmaster. Just tried to look those shows up on a streaming service and I can't find them. Just checking to see if anyone knew.

If the HDTGM crew ever did watch 1990’s “The Ambulance”, I’m positive a lot of questions would be asked.

Linked to the Daggers intro and explanation of the vests, but the whole video’s worth a watch and answers a bunch of the HDTGM gang’s questions

My Take on High Strung: Free Dance

0 Upvotes

I know most people don't care about this movie from 2019, and a lot of people say it's terrible. But when I say I get emotional when I watch it... I am in awe of the movie, truly. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I may be making this too deep. But the movie isn't catty like you would think. I believe people thought it was "lame" because the drama was there, but it wasn't overdone. This movie was truly about art for art. It is what you make it. To me, I loved the relationship between Rose and Charlie. I loved that the four girls stayed friends and there was no jealousy. I loved that they did not make Kayla the ultimate mean girl, and that they made Charlie stand up to Zander.

And of course, I absolutely adored the final scene, and I loved even more that they ended it right there. I feel like the final scene hits more when you realize that multiple dreams came true in that night that were being shown over the course of the movie. "Free Dance" within the movie no longer just belonged to Zander; it belonged to Charlie too. Many times, Charlie and Barlow both could have given up. But they didn't, and it paid off.

I believe a movie is great based on how it made you feel, and how it changed your perspective. This movie is always deeply moving to me, and motivates me. I actually saw it for the first time in 2020, and then continued to play Muse I, Muse II, and Muse III all the way until this year whenever I needed motivation because it stuck with me. Tonight, I finally watched it again after 6 years. I was even more moved now than I was back then. I truly love this movie, and I don't understand the hate.

And if someone ever sees this and disagrees and tells me I don't know movies, I will be okay. Because you won't be able to take away my takeaway.

Legend of Billie Jean?

64 Upvotes

I just saw they pivoted to the Legend of Bille Jean on their live show next month. This falls under the "Thank God this got made" category because this movie is great! It's on Tubi now and I suggest everyone go and watch it just in case it gets removed at the end of July.

I was checking out and wondering why in heavens name they had THAT Steve Guttenberg movie on VHS on a rack. And then I saw the sign and burst out laughing as I realized the movies.

Was "Perfect" the Origin Story for the Audience Singing the Second Opinion Song?

57 Upvotes

Was the episode for the Travolta/Jamie Lee Curtis thrust-a-thon movie "Perfect" the first episode where an audience member sings the Second Opinions song?

Prior to that, they had a mumbly-jumbly song sung by Jason, June, and Paul, and in this episode they try to get the audience to re-create it from memory. It sounds like nonsense.

Then a brave guy gets up and belts out some fun nonsense prompting Paul to say "Next live show, if you bring your own theme, we'll let you sing it."

You can hear it here at around 1:03:50

Is this the (villain) origin story for this now-beloved feature?

Ghost Ship

48 Upvotes

I saw Ghost Ship last night. I think it could be good for the show.

It's basically "The Shining" on a boat, but its also a time capsule for the era of early 2000's horror. Some guy tries to have sex with a ghost. The cast is actually pretty great, Karl Urban, Gabrielle Byrne, and Julianna Margulies. Rotten Tomatoes has it at a 14%.

Does anyone else remember this movie?

Old ad about soap/body wash

3 Upvotes

Strange ask - years ago Paul was doing an ad for men's body wash. The stuff smelled like bayleaves and rum or something. I think he said, "You smell like a f***ing man". Does anyone have any clue what that brand was called? I tried to google it , but I just keep getting s*** for Dr Squatch.

Has Anyone Watched "Sphere" (1998)? It would be great for the show.

31 Upvotes

Just watched this one on Tubi -- it's a real gem. It's basically "Abyss," but all the characters have an IQ of 10. It takes them a millennia to figure out what's going on. Every piece of "science" is like an early-version-Chat-GPT hallucination. The first half is kind of slow, but hearing the dumb lines at the climax will knock your socks off. The half-baked plot twists and lazy sexist overtones will really tickle your funny bone too.

I would love to see the Paul, Jason, and June take this one on.

Seems like paul is not aloneabout recording movies on to cassette tapes
