KnockBack, Episode 238 | Lethal Weapon
Added 2022-08-29 16:00:09 +0000 UTCWhen you think of 'buddy cop'-style movies, Lethal Weapon likely comes to mind. The 1987 smash-hit film starring a young Mel Gibson and a relatively unknown Danny Glover is one of the archetypes of this subgenre of action, with two polar opposites finding out on the fly that they have much more in common than they think. Featuring the likes of a pre-accident Gary Busey and chock-full of zany moments that all somehow make sense in context, Lethal Weapon remains a master class in the once-dominant action genre, and a reminder of how movies can be a lot of fun, not take themselves seriously, and yet remain grounded, believable, intriguing, and engaging. So, you may be too old for 'this,' as it were, but you're never too old for KnockBack.

2022-08-30 17:35:05 +0000 UTC'I like Steven Seagal because he is always breaking someone's bones' - actual quote from a 11 year old me while talkng action heroes in early 90s. Knockback as usually delivers more than I asked for 😄

2022-08-30 15:45:35 +0000 UTCI like how you couldn’t tell that was a B.A. dad joke but I could. Don’t know what that says about us. 😅

2022-08-30 14:43:08 +0000 UTCGreat episode and the intro topic is super interesting. I'm dealing with burnout now so I handed in my notice at work and I'm gonna try something completely new.

2022-08-30 09:05:50 +0000 UTCThank you for reading my question. I let my friend know she was referenced in the podcast and she lamented that she sold her NES, copy of Lethal Weapon and all her other games for $50 in 1995 to buy liquor and Burger King in college.

2022-08-29 20:42:50 +0000 UTCI'm surprised by that interpretation, as the result of the conversation was to discuss how the only advantage we ultimately have is to work hard. To each his own.

2022-08-29 20:24:58 +0000 UTCWill ok forward to it :)

2022-08-29 20:23:01 +0000 UTCI guess I'm the director, per se. But I am loath to take anything from Barry, who really does do it all.

2022-08-29 20:22:52 +0000 UTCWe've been given that feedback. Interestingly, I don't hear it, but it's there. We think it's a cable, and I think Dustin is working on it.

2022-08-29 20:07:01 +0000 UTCHad to turn this one off. The self aggrandizing was pretty over the top

2022-08-29 19:26:24 +0000 UTCFantastic episode can’t wait for you guys to get to 2,3 & 4.

2022-08-29 19:08:22 +0000 UTCWe need a knockback episode on all the jokes Tom Segura has made about Steven Seagal before we dive deep into his filmography. This was a fun episode. I can't wait for more Lethal Weapon knockbacks. There is no denying the entertainment value these movies provided rather we liked them or not.

2022-08-29 18:54:52 +0000 UTCVery excited for Dagan to finally get his animation podcast coming. Been stoked/waiting for a while now! In regards to your rpg Colin, I feel like you’ve taken a game director role which you already had but you just don’t have the time to be in the weeds like you used to. Which is pretty cool in a way. Everyone knows it will have your touch, can’t wait for that!
