0:4545 secondsI interviewed you like five years ago I had to double check when it was I can't believe it was five years ago and I know you have a thousand reviews You Meet A lot of people do you recall being a
0:5454 secondsguest on Going the Distance to Rocky series podcast about five years ago was that five years ago yes it was it seems
1:011 minute, 1 secondlike it was more recent I double checked the date and I thought it was more recent too but I went to my YouTube channel I was like oh posted uh
1:091 minute, 9 secondsJanuary 2017. yeah so a lot has happened both in uh your life and of course my life and and I want to say I I got to
1:171 minute, 17 secondsget this out of the way so when I invited you on that show the reason why I did of course is the it's a rocky podcast and I was Googling on YouTube
1:251 minute, 25 secondslike other people doing Rocky reviews and film reviews and I came across a Cinemassacre and I came across your review of the rocky franchise I think at
1:331 minute, 33 secondsthat point it would have been up to Creed not Creed 2 because I don't think Creed 2 was out at that point and I wash it of course about 20 minutes long and I'm like oh boy this guy
1:421 minute, 42 secondshe nailed it he nailed the show something I'd you know do episode after episode this guy you know you know articulates in 20 minutes
1:491 minute, 49 secondsanyways I was really impressed by it and and I know you don't take this badly but I didn't know who you were I didn't know like I didn't know you from any other YouTuber or personality on YouTube or
1:581 minute, 58 secondswhat have you but I really like that I really like how he discussed Rocky so you know I'm gonna bite him on sent you an email and I I forgot that I sent the
2:062 minutes, 6 secondsemail you emailed me back after some time oh sure I'd love to come on like okay cool then I Googled you and I was like oh this guy actually has a Wikipedia page you know so anyway so
2:142 minutes, 14 secondsanyone listening to you knows who you are but for me it was kind of I just want to say thank you because one I'm just a ham and Ager but you took a chance on a small little rocky podcast
2:232 minutes, 23 secondsand you came on you're very gracious with your time but I I just want to say I feel bad because my brother and I at the time we're so inexperienced in our
2:302 minutes, 30 secondsrecording equipment was terrible and I think we were just I said man I don't think I gave James the best interview I feel like I feel bad so time has passed
2:382 minutes, 38 secondsI I've interviewed other people but I will say having you on helped me get other people on my show if that makes sense and I was able to of you like
2:452 minutes, 45 secondsRobert Tepper who's saying noisy way out I interviewed uh Vince dicola who did the Rocky 4 soundtrack and then then the
2:532 minutes, 53 secondsbest one I interviewed was I don't mean the name drop I'm just saying you were kind of the start of people allowing to come on my show uh was Bill Conti I got
3:003 minutesthe interview oh wow yeah how many Oscars do you have James I'm just sorry oh Oscars so anyways I just wanted to thank you
3:093 minutes, 9 secondsagain for coming on the Rambo podcast so tell the listeners that like what do you do who are you and why would people know you I am best known as The Angry Video
3:173 minutes, 17 secondsGame Nerd I review old video games the ones that you don't want to remember the ones that uh frustrate you yeah that's really all it
3:253 minutes, 25 secondsis it's a Nostalgia Channel I do Nostalgia stuff yeah Rocky is a big part of it that's especially cool too to hear that you uh you found out about me from
3:333 minutes, 33 secondsRocky it's always uh neat when it's something different some people say oh I learned about you from your horror movie
3:413 minutes, 41 secondsreviews or Godzilla or something so that's always cool you were the yeah you were the rocky guy and that's how I first found out about you was searching
3:493 minutes, 49 secondsout uh Rocky stuff now you did a video called Rocky jumps a bench which I believe was released in 2008 and at the time of our interview it wasn't
3:573 minutes, 57 secondsavailable on YouTube I think it was hard to find but you've since re-uploaded because I think when we talked about it you're like I don't think it's on YouTube it was you didn't know where it was you re-uploaded in 2017 so I don't
4:064 minutes, 6 secondsknow if you re-uploaded because of our interview because we mentioned it in that interview that it was on YouTube so it might have been afterwards I don't know do know that it was like for a
4:144 minutes, 14 secondswhile it was like it would get taken down because of movie clips or music or whatever it was all the copyright [ __ ] so I eventually like did one
4:234 minutes, 23 secondsthat was like less music and more updates too like I kind of updated a few of the locations like oh the Spectrum
4:314 minutes, 31 secondsdoesn't exist anymore and like the ice rink wasn't Philly it's been found that that was in LA right things like that so
4:394 minutes, 39 secondsit was cool to have like a new version of that and then recently doing the Rocky IV locations so that was the
4:454 minutes, 45 secondssequel very long overdue sequel uh Rocky climbed him out and definitely want to talk about that so your partner in that
4:534 minutes, 53 secondsvideo was some that I've become friends with through my Rocky podcast was Derek Wayne Johnson and he's been very kind and gracious with his time he I've
5:015 minutes, 1 secondinterviewed him four times for four different projects he's someone I guess you could say we've become friends I I don't use that Loosely but we've talked
5:085 minutes, 8 secondsbetween interviews and stuff somebody I've kept in touch with and he's a as you know he's a gentleman a scholar very
5:155 minutes, 15 secondshandsome he's all those things uh so how did you end up meeting Derek though I first met him back when he was uh when
5:235 minutes, 23 secondshe was coming out with King of The Underdogs the John Appleton documentary I as I recall I think he emailed me I
5:315 minutes, 31 secondsdid an interview with him on the channel and since then I've met him a few times in LA and then this time doing the uh
5:415 minutes, 41 secondsthe rocky documentary it it's a weird thing to reach out to somebody and be like hey do you want to climb the rocky mountain with me and he was into it and
5:505 minutes, 50 secondsthat that was really cool because a lot of people would think like oh this is crazy like this is because it was it was kind of a crazy idea
5:595 minutes, 59 secondsum but I wanted to do it it was kind of a bucket list thing I just want to see who was going to go with me and uh he's been like my Rocky buddy even though we
6:076 minutes, 7 secondslike all kinds of stuff we like all kinds of films but we kind of met over Rocky themed things you know John
6:146 minutes, 14 secondsAppleton those kind of topics so it was great you know to have somebody who was really into it you know
6:226 minutes, 22 secondswho just wanted to be there and wanted to um get close to those locations like as close as we were able to yeah I mean it
6:306 minutes, 30 secondswas kind of like a little bit of a spiritual journey it was cool yeah it's a wonderful video I watched it the moment you guys dropped it uh he hinted
6:376 minutes, 37 secondsat it I was very excited about it and when I heard it was coming out and when I saw it amazing stuff amazing footage
6:446 minutes, 44 secondsand legit I'm very impressed that you guys found what you found it it's one thing to find the corner of a Street in
6:526 minutes, 52 secondsPhiladelphia where Rocky's house was or where he talked to Gazo it's another just to find like where were those homes that you know Rocky was training at
7:017 minutes, 1 secondwhere was the river that he ran through that was legit like oh you actually found the river that he ran through and then all that stuff was pretty pretty spot on and amazing I was getting very
7:097 minutes, 9 secondsstressed out though I don't want to spoil the ending when you guys were getting closer to where the mount was like what do you guys are wearing like flip-flops and tank tops I mean like I
7:177 minutes, 17 secondswas getting kind of yeah like you guys are not prepared to climb that mountain it stressed me out it's like how far you I was getting worried about your food so you guys have enough food to eat like it
7:257 minutes, 25 secondswas really stressing me out it seemed like where's your food where's your water yeah then we went to the store before that we got like uh those granola
7:337 minutes, 33 secondsbars and stuff like that so we had that we had like bottles of water uh the only thing we didn't think about was like we should have really got some like good
7:407 minutes, 40 secondshiking gear yeah you were the sneakers or something yeah it was you're sliding all over the place but yeah it's a wonderful I don't wanna I'll just plug it I mean obviously guys if you if
7:497 minutes, 49 secondsyou're a rocky fan or or even obviously just a James roll fan I'd recommend watching that video I mean nobody needs my plug I mean I don't know anyways you
7:587 minutes, 58 secondsmight get you're gonna get a huge bump for my plug but anyways I I just want to say it's it is amazing and well done but I I have a challenge for you and Derek
8:058 minutes, 5 secondsfor another rocket location though oh okay cool the Rocky 3 beach scene we need to have you guys do the beach and yeah and you guys will
8:148 minutes, 14 secondshave to do the run with each other and uh glistening lakes and high shorts and hug each other in the ocean I mean that has to be the follow-up yeah yeah Rocky
8:238 minutes, 23 secondsuh ran a beach or something yeah Rocky ran the beach there you go perfect so yeah you heard it here folks that's my challenge to you guys is uh is that and
8:318 minutes, 31 secondsthen you have to find Tough Gym that was the gym that Apollo took rock is called tough gym so I don't know if that gym is still there but it'd be interesting to see if you guys could find that location
8:398 minutes, 39 secondswell now you got me curious I'm gonna I'm gonna start looking to know it well you've got me curious there James okay all right so there you go there's a
8:478 minutes, 47 secondslittle bit of Rocket talk but now we're gonna roll of course into ramble this is a Ramble podcast what is your fandom overall with Rambo or is it just Rocky am I dragging you through this what's
8:568 minutes, 56 secondsgoing on oh yeah yeah like I probably saw I was gonna say Rambo 2 but technically it is Rambo one it's First
9:039 minutes, 3 secondsBlood Part Two uh so it's yeah it's it's rabble First Blood Part Two yes that's the official yeah it's always been kind
9:109 minutes, 10 secondsof a confusing situation um like I remember as a kid uh I think my dad showed me these movies or they were on TV or something and I was asking
9:189 minutes, 18 secondsthem like wouldn't it be second blood like there's First Blood second yeah well last blood that one fell in so you're right you shouldn't yeah or more
9:269 minutes, 26 secondsblood additional blood yeah Rambo 2 Rambo 2 whatever we call it it's
9:339 minutes, 33 secondsfine it was like the uh the NES game so it was the same plot of the game where he has to go in to uh Vietnam right yep
9:419 minutes, 41 secondsand he has to take the the pictures and I think he asks in the beginning he's like what you just want me to take pictures that's it you don't want me to
9:489 minutes, 48 secondslike rescue the hostages that whole plot happens in the game like in like the speech bubbles the first movie I think
9:559 minutes, 55 secondsis the best in my opinion but it's very different it's not what you think of when you think of ramble you think of him like running in to rescue people
10:0410 minutes, 4 secondswhere's the first movie it's just like a war between him and the police force but this movie was where he got like really
10:1110 minutes, 11 secondsripped and went into that like Macho 80s hero character yeah I mean the second
10:1810 minutes, 18 secondsmovie is just it's classic it's very different than anything he's done like with Rocky or anything it's just such a
10:2410 minutes, 24 secondsdifferent character Sly probably is one of those actors you kind of think of in a Typecast kind of way I was like just doing like one thing doing like an
10:3310 minutes, 33 secondsaction hero but it's so different Rocky and Rambo people have made fun of Sly throughout the years for his acting chops or what have you but when he plays
10:4110 minutes, 41 secondsramble and when he plays Rocky I don't see Sly I actually see the ramble character Rocky like he does a great job separating the two characters and he's known for both and there's very few
10:5010 minutes, 50 secondsactors that can do that I mean when you watch Indiana Jones or Harrison Ford play Indie I don't think Han Solo there's very few actors that have been like immortalized by a certain character
10:5810 minutes, 58 secondswhere they can be almost two different iconic characters and you don't get the two mixed up I think Sly is one of those few people have done that yeah yeah I
11:0611 minutes, 6 secondsthink this movie is a great Testament to that and that's a good point about Harrison Ford too he has has a lot of roles but you know two big roles that
11:1311 minutes, 13 secondsyou're known for that are different but they're kind of the same they're kind of a little bit related but different yeah because I think every actor channels
11:2211 minutes, 22 secondsthemselves to some degree with within their own acting it's just natural yeah before I forget I found out that you
11:2911 minutes, 29 secondswere the first person on YouTube to use a thumbnail did I hear this wrong it was on another YouTube channel I'm not sure actually because I don't remember it
11:3811 minutes, 38 secondsletting you pick thumbnails back then I don't know when exactly the thumbnails would have been but um let's see if I
11:4611 minutes, 46 secondscan find the videos one of the one of the one channel that I follow they were doing like um YouTube history or just the first like they're talking about the records that were broken or what have
11:5411 minutes, 54 secondsyou did they mention you and it was just like apricot because I was like oh I'm going to be talking to James like in two days when I watched this video and they said that yeah you were the first use of
12:0312 minutes, 3 secondsthe thumbnail so maybe it was by accident I don't know but I was gonna oh wow it's pretty cool though that's pretty awesome
12:0912 minutes, 9 secondsokay so uh do you remember then the first time you watched ramble how old you were or did your parents rent it for you or something like that oh pretty
12:1712 minutes, 17 secondsyoung I mean I don't really remember if it was a rental or if it was on TV I mean I suppose it had to be a rental because I remember the uh the [ __ ] them
12:2612 minutes, 26 secondsline in part three yeah it's a big moment two and three kind of blurred together in my memory a little bit but I was definitely pretty young when I saw
12:3412 minutes, 34 secondshim right I'm just about five years old now four
12:4212 minutes, 42 secondsand a half years old and you yeah so that sounds more AC probably you would have seen part three for sure on VHS or rental because my mom took me to ramble
12:5112 minutes, 51 secondsthree in the theater that was my first ramble film to see in the theater was part three I would have been uh 13 at the time so you would have been nine yeah so okay yeah you would have been
12:5912 minutes, 59 secondsyoung with part three chemo so really you're still quite young so for you to be about nine years old 10 years old and already those three ramble films I can't imagine your parents are rushing to get
13:0713 minutes, 7 secondsyou the ramble Trilogy at that age yeah I don't think so yeah so my mom took me to ramble three and then yeah that's all course four and five in the theater but
13:1613 minutes, 16 secondsyeah the first uh the first two of course I was too young to see in the theaters oh cool because I actually just watched your Saturday morning cartoon video I think it's your latest one on
13:2313 minutes, 23 secondsyour channel there and I noticed all the cartoons you were mentioned it's like oh these are I mean these are all your memories and these are all James memories of cartoons they didn't relate
13:3113 minutes, 31 secondsto me so I knew you must have been just that it's it's funny because with cartoons it's like you're there's a certain cartoons will come out that when you get older you think yourself well
13:3913 minutes, 39 secondsI'm not watching those those are for those are for kids and I was probably 10 or 11 when I'm thinking in those terms so that makes sense because my Saturday
13:4513 minutes, 45 secondsmore cartoons were quite different I mean I used to watch like Hulk Hogan's Rock and wrestling GI Joe course was big
13:5313 minutes, 53 secondsHe-Man yeah so I was just but the Muppet Babies and the ones you were bringing up those were kind of new they were like I've stopped watching it and you also
14:0114 minutes, 1 secondmentioned a video about Saturday morning cartoon not they were definitely called that when I was a kid that could that was like your and it was like basically
14:0814 minutes, 8 secondsfrom like six in the morning we're kind of the more unknown ones eight was like Prime Time eight in the morning prime time cartoons and then by by noon you
14:1714 minutes, 17 secondsdid Stick Around by dude you were going outside to play like all these are garbage cartoons so it was a yeah it was definitely a real thing was that Saturday morning was for kids it was their YouTube that's so cool that's all
14:2614 minutes, 26 secondswe had it was like we didn't have YouTube we only had like three channels you know four channels and they all played and you used to have to decide but it's before VCRs you'd have to
14:3314 minutes, 33 secondsdecide like ah which one am I gonna watch I don't know which one of the 3p good I'll watch the other one anyways and so I think they're throwing the commercials and then they all play the
14:4114 minutes, 41 secondscommercials at the same time you're like ah so I think what people like about your channel is that Nostalgia I know we're going kind of back and forth and I
14:4914 minutes, 49 secondsapologize I want to make sure I speak to to what you do and I know people are watching for that reason too so what is it about the Nostalgia of that time that
14:5814 minutes, 58 secondsthey certainly you have tapped into as a Creator but why do you think it resonates with people so much why can't we quote unquote Just Let It Go as they
15:0615 minutes, 6 secondssay Let It Go yeah yeah I don't know but that's kind of like a theme in a lot of my stories too things I hope to create and also things that I have created like
15:1415 minutes, 14 secondsthere's always a theme of you know the Angry Video Game Nerd is sort of like can't let the past go but he looks back at the past and more of like a negative
15:2215 minutes, 22 secondsway so sure yeah I don't know it's like you look back to the past to find some kind of meaning in your current life and try to recall something that was
15:3015 minutes, 30 secondsimportant to you or something that's a part of you I think it has to do with that it's a lost that was the art but the kids today and I have kids I know you have kids I think
15:3815 minutes, 38 secondsyou had a second daughter since our last recording when they become our age at 30 and 40 years old let's say what are they
15:4515 minutes, 45 secondsgonna like they don't did everything's at their fingertips now like my kid like my uh my son who is a big Simpsons fan he's 10 years old he's binged The
15:5315 minutes, 53 secondsSimpsons like twice the whole old 30 seasons on Disney plus he just like but there's no waiting you know what I mean there's no like I watch this Saturday
16:0016 minutesmornings there is something nostalgic about the Saturday morning or after school specials and what are quote-unquote YouTube creators going to
16:0816 minutes, 8 secondsbe doing 30 years from now what are the what's their Nostalgia going to be is there going to be Nostalgia yeah I don't know because like already I'm trying to
16:1416 minutes, 14 secondsfind like Nostalgia more recent like just like Hey we're always talking about the 80s let's start talking about the 90s and now well let's start talking
16:2216 minutes, 22 secondsabout the 2000s just trying to figure out is there any point where it just stops becoming as important or it doesn't have the same charm there is
16:3116 minutes, 31 secondssomething unique about the 80s and 90s I think and I heard some Theory not theories but people have speculated something had something happened in the 2000s where identity remember the
16:4016 minutes, 40 secondsdecades that used to have identities you think about 70s 80s and 90s there's a unique identities 60s and 50s there's all those unique identity you could say
16:4816 minutes, 48 secondsoh that outfit's from the 50s that outfit's from the 70s look he's wearing bell bottoms you know you could always identify identity with uh style fashion
16:5616 minutes, 56 secondsand music with every decade but I feel like after the 2000s what were the 2010s what was their identity 2010s are tough
17:0317 minutes, 3 seconds2000s there's still a little bit of a carryover from the 90s I guess a little bit there's like AOL and like
17:1017 minutes, 10 secondsstill going on and I just remember uh Napster so is that the new Nostalgia is computers computer related stuff maybe
17:1917 minutes, 19 secondsMyspace yeah it might be the new Nostalgia it might be computers all right interesting all right maybe yeah so are you ready to do a little bit of a
17:2717 minutes, 27 secondsramble discussion here sure yeah I think some people I just want to make sure we'll get everyone if I'm missing any chat here okay I said here uh this is from back door wolf this is your only
17:3517 minutes, 35 secondsyoung once you won't be Nostalgia for things now like you were when you're a kid I understand I guess what I'm asking I'm trying to put ourselves into kids position that's what I'm saying is like
17:4317 minutes, 43 secondsI know we can't be nostalgic about today but I'm wondering if the people there my kids for example what are they going to look back on is now
17:5117 minutes, 51 secondslike oh I remember watching Simpsons on my iPad boy that sure was the day it just it's just weird yeah it'd be interesting to see what I'm already prepared to like remind them be like hey
17:5917 minutes, 59 secondslook remember when you used to watch this I already do that actually like there's stuff that the oldest one is nine so I'll show her things I'm like oh
18:0718 minutes, 7 secondsremember when you were like two when you watched this and they don't or dude or does she sometimes it's kind of like you're unsure maybe she remembers it or
18:1518 minutes, 15 secondsmaybe she doesn't or she's like embarrassed to remember it or that's not cool anymore you know they want to grow up so fast oh no I haven't eat your
18:2218 minutes, 22 secondsdaughter I feel you so good luck all right so you ready to watch a little bit of ramps what we're gonna do is we're I'm gonna replay this last scene because it's the most probably
18:3118 minutes, 31 secondsconsidered the most iconic Scene It was it looks like Rambo is about to get some serious [ __ ] right now yeah so I just want to replay it again because it just
18:3918 minutes, 39 secondssets the action that we're about to watch John come in thank you he's here
18:4918 minutes, 49 secondsRambo this is Murdoch we're glad you're alive where are you Precision will come to pick you up
18:5818 minutes, 58 secondsMurdoch yeah you like that help me to get you
19:0519 minutes, 5 secondsuh first of all I'm just so glad you played that because I was because I knew you were doing this in like pieces like how are you going through the whole
19:1219 minutes, 12 secondsmovie I'm like oh man like I I hope I get the scene where he he says Murdoch I'm coming to get you it's like the
19:1919 minutes, 19 secondsAdrian win scene in Rocky 2 you know what I mean it's that yeah like the only thing close which I think is is three is when he says uh I'm your worst nightmare
19:2819 minutes, 28 secondsyeah yeah I want it's like no I gotta show James because it gets you in that mood again that music kicks in he's about to backhand that big Russian guy
19:3619 minutes, 36 secondsthere and the lightning flash I forgot about the lightning Flash On Cue mag nature was on ramble's side that day Nature's like hey could you

20:0320 minutes, 3 seconds[Music]
20:1020 minutes, 10 seconds[Music]
20:1420 minutes, 14 secondsall right what I like right away is that Co his female partner she's been kind of not really helping out Rambo but now is
20:2220 minutes, 22 secondsshe doing it man she's she's taking out a few of the uh the viacon there to get Rambo out of there and I love the payback if you remember before the scene like ramble was getting tortured quite
20:3120 minutes, 31 secondsextensively by the uh that big Russian guy and that was amazing like a uh it was like a that thing well I can't I'm

21:1921 minutes, 19 seconds2022 this came out in uh 85. it is silly but it's just so good because when this came out it wasn't it was it wasn't
21:2721 minutes, 27 secondssilly I mean I'm sure critics oh this is not this is ridiculous but it was just so unique in its own right that uh it's been mimicked and copied so many times I
21:3621 minutes, 36 secondsdon't know what other film before round with two really shot the 80s action to this level like that's
21:4321 minutes, 43 secondsbeen copied as much this one has been copied so much about what other 80s films this was literally the mid 80s that kind of this over the top one-man
21:5121 minutes, 51 secondsArmy I mean I can't think of many that have been copied nearly that much but you know like Mad Max 2 pretty big and

22:3822 minutes, 38 seconds[Music]
22:3922 minutes, 39 secondswhat's up so I just love how how many soldiers I mentioned this in a previous episode
22:4722 minutes, 47 secondswhen they first went to the campuses how many soldiers are at this location you have what 10 prisoners of War but they
22:5422 minutes, 54 secondshave a hundred a hundred Vietnamese soldiers or vehicle soldiers here it's like where do they sleep what do they eat who's cooking all their food I mean this is quite an outfit and they have a
23:0323 minutes, 3 secondshelicopter it's just over the top protection for these 10 pows that they move around every two weeks I like the
23:1023 minutes, 10 secondsuh barbed wire just moving it with his bare hands yeah Rabbit doesn't have time to put on gloves or any kind of protection he's just got to move that barbed wire oh I forgot to mention that of course for our listeners there's
23:1923 minutes, 19 secondsRussian soldiers have also joined the viacon army so Rambo is literally against two different military factions here these guys are just again
23:2723 minutes, 27 secondsprotecting or hiding pows that's all this assignment is like your assignment is they've got 10 soldiers for every one
23:3723 minutes, 37 secondsdiseased ridden sick pow they can't move for our listeners there's the big Escape ramble and Co or right now the camp
23:4523 minutes, 45 secondshelicopters on them so the Dodge and the helicopter light Rambo seems to have troubled helicopters both in part one part two and part three helicopters seem
23:5323 minutes, 53 secondsto be a reoccurring theme ramble versus the helicopter I mean it's definitely a jungle movie it's not like it doesn't have a lot of different scenery too it's
24:0224 minutes, 2 secondskind of in one place but uh the amount of enemies it shows is is insane and the body count fighting against the helicopter I'm sure a lot of video games
24:1124 minutes, 11 secondslooked at this because it seemed like there was often a helicopter as a level boss or something and you had to like
24:1824 minutes, 18 secondstake out the weak spot so that was a long sequence I'm not not in a bad way but for quite a fun sequence of course
24:2524 minutes, 25 secondspeople can see this on their own movies of copies of the movie but the ramble and Co escaping you got Rambles sliding down The Ravines and they're going
24:3324 minutes, 33 secondsthrough the water and they got the helicopter chase and it's exciting the sequence it's almost very sweet of Indiana Jones it has its own type of
24:4024 minutes, 40 secondsIndiana Jones Flair because a lot of it's just very little ramble shooting back they're just escaping they gotta Escape they realize they're a little bit outnumbered here they can't take on the whole Army so they're trying to hide and
24:4924 minutes, 49 secondsescape and now it's like the next day I guess that's what we're like to believe here the sun is rising Colonel troutman's gonna go talk to
24:5624 minutes, 56 secondsMurdoch here you got Murdoch he's literally a little bit nervous under the collar there he is sweating now he's really sweaty now first he's sweating
25:0425 minutes, 4 secondsbecause the heat but now he's sweating because he's got the threat from Rambo I'm coming to get you yeah it pays off so good at the end it really does what
25:1125 minutes, 11 secondsdo you think is better the Ramble 2 ending with him facing Murdoch or a ramble facing down teasel sheriff teasel in the sheriff's station which one do
25:1825 minutes, 18 secondsyou think is a better payoff oh man the first movie that's tough though I think if I were to take the scene out of
25:2525 minutes, 25 secondscontext I think this one with Murdoch as a whole I think the first movie does it best sure that's fair yeah yeah but it
25:3325 minutes, 33 secondsis a nice little sequence of course when he goes in he's going to stab him or what we think will be a stab but it's not but yeah yeah it's great sequence so
25:4025 minutes, 40 secondsMurdoch here though he's sweating we're safe for now I love how Julian Nixon who plays Cole
25:4725 minutes, 47 secondsshe's she just looks great here because she's dressed up because she was dressed up as a the town Harlot you know to come visit the boys that's how she got inside of the camp she pretended to be it was
25:5625 minutes, 56 secondsher turn to be the [ __ ] of the village type thing so that's how she got into the town or to the Village of the viacon soldiers but so she's still dolled up is what I'm getting at and she looks just
26:0426 minutes, 4 secondsshe looks fantastic the actress herself in the character did we mention before another episode I think it might have been with Derek Derek actually he was on episode three we mentioned that this is
26:1426 minutes, 14 secondsactually Julie Nixon's first movie and it never really she's done like steady work throughout her career but we speculate or at least
26:2126 minutes, 21 secondsI speculated on that episode that it never catapulted to where I think she deserved I think if she was found today she might have more work than she did in
26:3026 minutes, 30 secondsthe 80s which is too bad for her first movie this isn't bad I mean like Sandra Bullock's first movie really a big movie was Demolition Man that helped her career and then speed of course but then
26:3926 minutes, 39 secondsthis one here I don't know I just feel bad for Julie Nixon never really because she's very athletic I mean she probably had a lot to offer and there's just more female roles now for like action
26:4826 minutes, 48 secondssequences and it's almost like the wrong decade for her so I feel bad you know they're resting it's the next day they think they're safe from the Chase and
26:5626 minutes, 56 secondsthey're gonna have a bit of a conversation here you look like hell Ramba what's up nice maybe need this you heard bad sorry
27:0527 minutes, 5 seconds[Music]
27:0727 minutes, 7 secondslisten uh what you did back there I won't forget it
27:1527 minutes, 15 secondsthanks
27:1727 minutes, 17 seconds[Music]
27:1927 minutes, 19 secondswhat do you do now try getting across your Thailand think of America
27:3027 minutes, 30 secondstake me with you
27:3027 minutes, 30 seconds[Music]
27:3627 minutes, 36 seconds[Applause]
27:3727 minutes, 37 seconds[Music]
27:3827 minutes, 38 seconds[Applause]
27:4327 minutes, 43 secondsme yeah it's funny no matter how many times I watch this film I always forget the kiss
27:5227 minutes, 52 secondsI I don't know why it says I don't know if it's a Mandela effect or something maybe people could let us know in uh comments was that kiss always in the
27:5927 minutes, 59 secondsfilm because I know they filmed the kiss but I try to remember if there was a cut without it I can't I can't recall but it's just weird seeing ramble kiss I don't know why I find it weird I don't
28:0828 minutes, 8 secondsreally remember it either I do remember what happened there's a lot of what a bummer just so you know and James the
28:1628 minutes, 16 secondsauthor David Morrell which I had the pleasure of interviewing at the start of this podcast uh he wrote the adaption so of course he wrote and created the
28:2428 minutes, 24 secondscharacter Rambo first Blood and but then Parts two and three were made as films and he was given he's the only author that has the rights to write the ramble
28:3128 minutes, 31 secondscharacter so he was given the scripts for two and three and he wrote his novelization from the scripts so he had his own background what he added for background for part two he did slide bad
28:4028 minutes, 40 secondsor the ramble character bad he made Rambo a virgin so if you were to argue like which one's Canon well I mean you could argue David morels the author of
28:4828 minutes, 48 secondsThe or the Creator the character so he he said at this point in ramble's life now of course Sly is a little bit older than the ramble character in the books
28:5528 minutes, 55 secondsBible maybe seven to ten years but I had a high school sweetheart he went to war and he came back he never consummated that relationship with the girl before
29:0229 minutes, 2 secondshe went to war and he's just never been with a girl since so that that's the first time he's kissed a girl according to David morale since his high school days I mean it makes sense given his
29:1129 minutes, 11 secondshistory yeah so she's like you take me to America and he's like yeah get some code time I think you make good
29:2029 minutes, 20 secondschoice yeah we go
29:3329 minutes, 33 seconds[Applause]
29:3629 minutes, 36 seconds[Music]
29:5129 minutes, 51 secondsthat kills okay so we should say first okay let's go let's go so she goes walking away he's like oh I forgot my bow and arrows it goes back to get his
29:5929 minutes, 59 secondsbow and arrow and she's out there exposed alone I guess in theory him forgetting the bow and arrow saved his life because if he had been walking out there with her
30:0730 minutes, 7 secondswould he not have been I wonder would he not have been just as shot as she was the guy was hidden then her getting killed alerted of course that he
30:1530 minutes, 15 secondswas now you know they're under attack but had he been just as available to be hit there in theory he could have been hit too what do you think of that uh killing of Co there I don't think I ever
30:2330 minutes, 23 secondsliked it really I mean now I look back at it and I I think of it a different way now I'm just like well it's meant to be shocking it's meant to get you upset
30:3230 minutes, 32 secondsI think as a kid when I saw that I'm just like no way you got to be kidding me why would they be so cruel to have her die it is pretty brutal I'd say
30:4130 minutes, 41 secondsgraphic it's one of the more graphic kills of a character in the film one because it's the quote-unquote good guy it's a good person being blown away so
30:4830 minutes, 48 secondsyou don't like don't enjoy watching that when it happens to the bad guys you get giddy from the yeah yeah look they're getting torn apart by bolts but when it
30:5630 minutes, 56 secondshappens to a a good especially a female and that I think I know it sounds I don't know I don't know if that's a bad misogyny I
31:0431 minutes, 4 secondsdon't understand I know like watching women getting blown apart it's a little bit more disconcerting for me anyways and it wasn't common for films I don't
31:1231 minutes, 12 secondseven think back then but more so now because we have more equal rights and films I guess with uh you know women actresses or actors you know playing
31:2031 minutes, 20 secondsthese more violent roles but seeing a woman getting blown away like that it wasn't very common at least in my viewing days I can't think of many other
31:2731 minutes, 27 secondsmovies I mean I know Mad Max you know the first one sure you know his family gets killed but uh I can't think of a lot of other movies where they would
31:3531 minutes, 35 secondshave the guts to do that yeah at that time she gets Blown Away lands in the water she's not quite dead yet we'll get a little bit more out of her before she
31:4231 minutes, 42 secondsdies so ramble took out like four or five soldiers but the individual that killed Coeur shot at Co he is the kind
31:4931 minutes, 49 secondsof the top leader you know he's the main guy bad guy leader captain or whatever of the viacon Guard so he gets away like
31:5731 minutes, 57 secondslittle weasel he runs away and his comeuppance is great as you know oh he's the one who gets blown up yeah same it's the same guy that killed Co and the
32:0532 minutes, 5 secondsRambo knows that it's the guy shooting at him with a handgun and rambling yeah slowly throw that scene in uh Gremlins too as well oh do they that's the thing
32:1432 minutes, 14 secondsthat uh Gizmo is watching on the TV oh that's funny that is funny and at the end of the movie he imitates that with
32:2132 minutes, 21 secondsthe rubber band and the Matchstick or whatever when he uh when he burns the lead Gremlin you could do a whole podcast on that how many times has this
32:2932 minutes, 29 secondsfilm been imitated not mocked but Lampoon imitated drawn from referenced it's insane it's insane
32:3832 minutes, 38 secondsyou're right
32:4232 minutes, 42 seconds[Music]
32:4532 minutes, 45 secondsoh yeah yeah
32:5532 minutes, 55 secondsno no
32:5932 minutes, 59 seconds[Music]
32:5932 minutes, 59 secondsno and his virginity streak continues yeah I was gonna say
33:0733 minutes, 7 seconds[Music]
33:0833 minutes, 8 seconds[Applause]
33:1233 minutes, 12 secondsthat's actually a really good shot there of him holding the water that'd actually make for like a good oil painting or having ramble hold something like that
33:2033 minutes, 20 secondsit's actually really cool seeing cool shot yeah and if you notice too that film it's almost like soap opera look to the film if you don't like it looks blur
33:2833 minutes, 28 secondsthat blurry but we'll see kind of policy there's the word yeah
33:3233 minutes, 32 seconds[Applause]
33:3533 minutes, 35 secondsI want the rescue team ready to go in one hour you're risking your career your reputation even your family security you honestly think any one man's worth all
33:4433 minutes, 44 secondsthat yes I do I'm giving you a direct order to withdraw from this project do I get the rescue team or do I go over your head you don't seem to understand
33:5133 minutes, 51 secondssomething I'm in charge here you're just a tool we're the machine I want him placed under arrest it's not to
33:5833 minutes, 58 secondsleave the face never had a chance did he like you said Colonel he went home well that's where we're gonna stop I know
34:0734 minutes, 7 secondsit's right where the Revenge sequence kicks in but let's talk about that sequence which is before uh so Murdoch's telling Troutman about
34:1534 minutes, 15 secondsyou know he's just a tour I'm in the military I'm in the Navy I should say and there are days or moments where yeah you kind of feel that way and I understand that there's a big machine
34:2334 minutes, 23 secondsthere's a there's a big mission or whatever it might be at the end of the day the people that kind of run the machine are part of the mission we're just tools if I were to quote-unquote
34:3134 minutes, 31 secondsdie or fall over somebody else just rolls in and takes my place it's unfortunate but that's kind of the nature of the military in general is what we sign up for you wouldn't talk
34:3934 minutes, 39 secondsthat way to speak that like that's the way that it works like everyone is kind of trained to know the other person's job to a degree so if someone does fall
34:4834 minutes, 48 secondsor whatever that there's someone else can come and take the place but to speak that way like that so callously it just shows this government conglomerate that's very indifferent to the
34:5634 minutes, 56 secondssacrifices that these soldiers they're people they're not just tools what do you think of your first your first experience on the Rambo podcast and watched a little bit of the film again
35:0435 minutes, 4 secondsafter maybe a little while very cool yeah it's such a great idea you on your Saturday the morning cartoon you showed a quick little piece but you didn't talk
35:1235 minutes, 12 secondsabout it the ramble cartoon because you showed what is the RoboCop I was like oh come on yeah yeah because you're talking about how the
35:1835 minutes, 18 secondsvideos of sorry cartoons when we were kids were able to take like rated R hardcore radar films and make them into a kid-friendly cartoons there's another
35:2735 minutes, 27 secondsbig one I forgot about uh toxic Crusaders I don't remember if it was Saturday mornings but oh really they did that one for that one too sometimes I couldn't remember whether it was a
35:3535 minutes, 35 secondsSaturday morning show or a weekday show there's also I remember Attack of the Killer Tomatoes what oh you haven't seen that one that was a cartoon as well yeah
35:4435 minutes, 44 secondsI mean probably very short sure sure but there was like a team of Heroes in it with swords that are dicing up the
35:5135 minutes, 51 secondstomatoes and uh that's funny it was kind of gory because even though they were tomatoes I kind of thought of it as like blood when they're getting cut up and
36:0036 minuteseverything that is hilarious that is wild the ramble cartoon was horrible I remember being because that came out when I was I guess I was a little bit older I I'd already been a fan of you
36:0936 minutes, 9 secondsknow the first two ramble films even at the age of like you know 10 I'd watch the first two and I was getting a little bit old for cartoons at 10 or 11 back in the day I remember ramble cartoon came
36:1836 minutes, 18 secondsout I probably gave it I gave it a whirl but the moment I realized it wasn't Stallone doing the voice acting I think that was a big turn off for me like oh that's not Stallone's voice there's one
36:2636 minutes, 26 secondsscene where he literally he rides a rocket in the sky holds on to it and I'm like I can't I can't do this cartoons don't work as well did you ever know the
36:3436 minutes, 34 secondscartoon Robotech Robotech no I don't think so okay well this is me gonna nerd out on you a little bit so this is my uh
36:4336 minutes, 43 secondsyou don't have to do this but this is my challenge to you because I think you should add this to your repertoire of reviews or something it was the uh it was like you probably recognize the
36:5136 minutes, 51 secondsships these guys so what it was is it was a Japanese production they would go into this like Transformer robots that would turn into Jets and then they would
36:5936 minutes, 59 secondsalso then be they could walk around so the humans would control them in the cockpit but they would transform from walking robots to the Jets and they were
37:0737 minutes, 7 secondslike fighting this Alien Invasion and what have you it's one of the best cartoons ever but this was like six and six in the morning Canadian television they would show this Robotech and it was
37:1537 minutes, 15 secondsone of the few cartoons that was like serialized drama one episode would go into the next episode and so it wasn't a matter of you just
37:2437 minutes, 24 secondslike oh I'm gonna watch He-Man episode like every episode ties yeah it was actually a serialized drama and it was about as adult as you could get to being
37:3137 minutes, 31 secondsa cartoon yeah wow yeah and look at that images real quick yeah that's so funny how there were so many of these shows
37:3837 minutes, 38 secondsthat resembled Transformers GoBots Voltron and all that kind of stuff yeah it's one of the originals it's it's an
37:4537 minutes, 45 secondsamazing cartoon uh and amazing it's been an absolute pleasure James having you on I want to say thank you for guessing on
37:5237 minutes, 52 secondsthe show for for cracking wise for a little bit hanging out with me I know your time is busy but why don't you tell us so what people can expect from Cinemassacre that's is that your that's
38:0138 minutes, 1 secondyour major Channel that's your main stick because I know you got a lot of projects so I do want to describe again what your what that channel is about and oh well I mean it's just a Nostalgia
38:1038 minutes, 10 secondschannel of uh video game reviews and movie reviews and then anytime when do anything original as well but it's generally reviews of
38:1838 minutes, 18 secondsmedia but yeah I'm working on some horror movie reviews right now and another angry nerd episode it's a big one now in fact uh right after this I'm
38:2838 minutes, 28 secondsgoing back to some editing going into this like an analysis mode of like you know movies and stuff so so this is your
38:3538 minutes, 35 secondsjob job this is your doing this channel I mean I do a side Channel I'll just quickly plug it I don't think any of my ramble listeners I do a reaction Channel
38:4338 minutes, 43 secondswith my best friend called welp that's w-e-l-p welp here we are on YouTube it's a hobby we do uh like patreon requests where people ask us to react to some
38:5238 minutes, 52 secondssongs and what have you anyways I just like editing our own videos and things like that I know how much work on a small scale how much work it goes into
39:0039 minutesproducing I look at your Channel and how many how much of it are you doing on your own because I like I'll edit a stupid 10 minute reaction video
39:0739 minutes, 7 secondsand it's just like oh this is so much time I mean do you have people to edit for you oh thank you yeah yeah I do um generally
39:1539 minutes, 15 secondsum I edit what I can but then I send a lot of it to other people to edit so the movie reviews most of them are being edited by someone else but I still look
39:2439 minutes, 24 secondsat the final product that's the thing with the edit the reason why I don't even want to offload it to anyone else because I I want to keep certain jokes in is that creative control because when
39:3339 minutes, 33 secondsyou send things it's creative control yeah it's like you they added exactly how you want right so how do you tell them how to edit it before they get it
39:4039 minutes, 40 secondsthey have the script they have everything they have all my notes because generally what I edit it's already laid out because it's already written in a script so like here's how
39:4839 minutes, 48 secondsit goes it'll even be like notes in the script like show this image get it from this time code of the movie use that that's all that work there you might as
39:5539 minutes, 55 secondswell just edit it you know that's what I thought before okay but there's so much [ __ ] work when you edit it's like your love leveling out the sound and
40:0440 minutes, 4 secondslike trying to equalize the volume and do like a fade in here and so much of it's technical like color correction and everything that goes into it it is kind
40:1240 minutes, 12 secondsof easier to offload that because then when you once you offload it you can start writing the next episode so you're writing it while they're editing and
40:2040 minutes, 20 secondsthat keeps a flow going no that makes sense yeah like I said mine's just little reaction channels this is basically the video of me my friend I do
40:2840 minutes, 28 secondsthe overlay and put her yeah and I do it for this video too you'll see that I what I'm looking at right now Discord is not going to be what it looks like on YouTube are you allowed to say what
40:3540 minutes, 35 secondsyou're next to the massacre video is going to be because this just so you know this will be about a month this is gonna be a month out when this comes out I'm aiming for like eight videos in
40:4340 minutes, 43 secondsOctober the first one's probably going to be the monsters review which is shot and done somebody's editing that but I'm I'm doing the writing shooting and end
40:5240 minutes, 52 secondsediting on the one that I just did today today I'm I'm doing one because it's like really specific I pick which ones I edit myself and which ones I give to
41:0041 minutessomeone else like okay you could you could do this this one is really specific this one might just be easier I edit but the next one I think is that is
41:0741 minutes, 7 secondsthe monsters okay there's a remake that Rob Zombie's doing with the monsters I think coming out oh that's it that's it's the Remake yeah oh oh it's that
41:1541 minutes, 15 secondsremake it's already out well it came out very quietly oh geez I feel terrible I think it's only on us Netflix as far as I know oh I haven't seen it like I
41:2441 minutes, 24 secondshaven't seen the advertise or anything it came out very quietly I mean half of the video that I spend talking about the original and Rob Zombie just like a
41:3341 minutes, 33 secondslittle tribute to Rob Zombie a tribute to the original show and then the second half of the video was like what I think of the new one it's like anything new
41:4141 minutes, 41 secondsyou're just you're digesting it a lot of it because a lot of I'm like whoa like this is this is weird it's a weird movie I've seen the trailer I admit I did
41:5041 minutes, 50 secondswatch the trailer out of curiosity because Rob Zombie is a character and of himself in the movies that he does are quite you know violent and gory and then I thought okay I know he's doing a
41:5841 minutes, 58 secondsfamily friendly version of this is my understanding does it stay family friendly it's the only Rob Zombie movie you could show your kids that's insane I
42:0642 minutes, 6 secondsdon't know what they'll think of it but you could show it to them but visuals are great but let me tell you that it visually it just looks like the pure
42:1542 minutes, 15 secondsembodiment of Halloween like it looks like a retro Halloween commercial the lighting is all just hyper colored
42:2242 minutes, 22 secondseverything is just vibrant and all right well by the time this episode comes out it actually might be Halloweenish time so that's funny we did get one comment
42:3142 minutes, 31 secondshere on our Discord about Tough Gym this is from pooches they said I did some research about Tough Gym that you
42:3842 minutes, 38 secondschallenge James to make a video at and they came up with nothing but there is a website that has Google Map links to other locations of that film Rocky 3 but
42:4742 minutes, 47 secondsTough Gym might be something you're gonna have to do some mystery artist sorry uh Sherlock homes type worker to find out where the Tough Gym location is
42:5442 minutes, 54 secondsoh okay that's not known I believe it might have been spelled try t u f f i can't remember now I don't know if it
43:0143 minutes, 1 secondwas I don't know if it was phonetically spelled or correctly spelled but either way it is called Tough Gym that's where Apollo takes rocket this is where it all
43:0943 minutes, 9 secondsbegan he says this is where it all began this is gonna go back to the basics and yeah okay yeah so are you honestly gonna
43:1643 minutes, 16 secondslook at doing a Rocky 3 location beats sequence Rocky right on the beach it took me years and years and years to do the Rocky 4-1 so hopefully uh I think
43:2443 minutes, 24 secondsthis one might be easier I don't think it should be as much yeah oh it will be but still like just putting it on the on the list of everything else coming up
43:3243 minutes, 32 secondsyou got a busy life and I I'll let you go I'm sorry I can just keep talking I could nerd out with you as well if we could talk Rocky video games and uh
43:3943 minutes, 39 secondsagain James thank you so much for coming on the show and get you know what honestly giving me another chance I I would say like a Redemption because you were very kind and gracious with your stories first interview because you did
43:4843 minutes, 48 secondsa lot of we asked you a lot of how you got started and all that storyline stuff so I didn't want to repeat all that same Mantra and if you're probably tired of talking about that every time oh that's
43:5543 minutes, 55 secondsall right yeah but uh thanks for coming on on this show and good luck to you and your future endeavors oh cool thanks you too all right thanks brother bye-bye
44:0344 minutes, 3 seconds[Music]
