Hello.

2

Hello.

3

I'm Katie and welcome to the

season one finale of RetroMate.

4

Today, we wrap up our celebration

of Kurt Russell and Patrick Swayze,

5

the ultimate everyman of cinema.

6

Get ready for one last look

at their iconic careers.

7

I think I'm going to start by sharing

a few recent listener messages.

8

The first one is a review actually.

9

So hint, hint, everyone.

10

Give me a review, please.

11

This is an apple review.

12

The title is great host

five stars by charger 91.

13

Katie is a very kind and warm personality

who does a great job hosting her show.

14

She does her homework for all of the

movies she reviews and brings great

15

insight along with her opinions.

16

I have not listened to an episode in

which I disagree with what she has to

17

say about the films and look forward to

checking out more episodes in the future.

18

Her guests are insightful.

19

For the most part, and the atmosphere

of the show is like having a

20

good conversation with a friend.

21

I recommend giving her a listen.

22

Thank you.

23

Charger 91 then on pod chaser.

24

I think I've mentioned before, but and

there's a link on my captivate site too,

25

which is retro made dot captivate dot.

26

F.

27

M.

28

If you want an easy link to pod

chaser, if you, are not an Apple user.

29

This one is from Stephanie and it's

regarding the mean season via podchaser

30

made me want to watch this movie.

31

Scott and Katie have a fun

discussion and it was educational.

32

I didn't know what mean season meant.

33

I didn't either.

34

Also at the beginning of each episode of

retro made is our childhood on a podcast.

35

Love hearing the music

news and shows of the time.

36

Thank you, Stephanie.

37

Oh, Stephanie also gave one about

Grandview USA and Three's Company.

38

My favorite part of this

was Three's Company.

39

Loved it.

40

Yes, Terry was my favorite too.

41

I had said that Terry was

my favorite blonde roommate.

42

She says, now I'll have

to see this movie too.

43

Hadn't heard of it before.

44

And then here's one from Megan and

is just a general, not specific

45

to any episode on Podchaser.

46

I'm fairly new to podcasts

and love this one.

47

All of the nostalgic trips down memory

lane from the good old days are fantastic.

48

And many I've totally forgotten about

until Retromade rewinds and reminds me.

49

Yeah.

50

Music, TV shows, people, places,

happenings of the time, fashions,

51

toys, and of course movies of the

time, I particularly have enjoyed the

52

theme of season one, Patrick Swayze

and Kurt Russell, our every men, Katie

53

does an excellent job preparing and

providing all of the helpful info

54

and has some awesome guests as well.

55

Thank you.

56

And I have a listener email, and

this is in reference, it's kind of a

57

general email, but also focuses some

tidbits that I had requested feedback

58

for from the fatherhood episode.

59

This 1 is from so Richardson

from backlog cinema.

60

He says, dear Katie, how's it?

61

I hope that you've had a fruitful year.

62

I'd like to congratulate you on

having your successful very long

63

season of Swayze and Russell.

64

It has been a long season hasn't it?

65

They won't all be this long.

66

It's just that Kurt Russell and Patrick

Swayze had a lot of movies from the

67

80s and 90s that we had to cover.

68

And I'll get into those numbers here

in a bit, but back to Zoe's email.

69

He says, I still like how you touch on the

big things that happen in entertainment

70

on the week of the movie's release.

71

In the latest episode, you talked

about Jodeci and while you recognize

72

their impact, you weren't familiar

with their cover of Lately.

73

Yes, Lately is a cover

of a Stevie Wonder song.

74

I actually couldn't remember

it as I was listening to you.

75

I had to stop the playback of the episode

so that I could listen to the song.

76

This is quite embarrassing

as I'm a big Jodeci fan.

77

I think I have all of their albums,

so I should have remembered the song.

78

While listening to all the memories

came flooding back, the version

79

that hit number one was their

live recording on one of those MTV

80

unplugged shows, and they nailed it.

81

You could almost tell that it's a

Stevie Wonder song as you listen to it.

82

As for Onyx, the rap group

definitely has more hits than slam.

83

I had Maybe assumed that

it was a one hit wonder.

84

So thank you.

85

Thank you.

86

So but for me, that's the one

and only that really matters.

87

I don't follow them that much.

88

The only other song that I

know that they did after some

89

research was a throw your guns.

90

It's all I have.

91

I just wanted to chime in

with my 2 cents and encourage

92

you to keep up the good work.

93

Best wishes.

94

So thank you.

95

So, and right back at you.

96

All right.

97

Well, I was glad to share

some listener feedback.

98

I would like some more if you

guys want to send me an email

99

RetroMadePodcast at gmail.

100

com.

101

Always need those reviews and those

ratings comments on YouTube, et cetera.

102

Keep it coming.

103

Okay, so in this retrospective

of season 1 I'm in marketing,

104

so I'm very numbers oriented.

105

So let's take a look there 1st.

106

There were 40 movies.

107

So that's why the season was so long.

108

It's almost an even split.

109

Kurt had 22 and Patrick had 18, but I

will say that Patrick had North and South,

110

which was a multi season mini series.

111

It was like multiple movies in one.

112

So I would say it's pretty even.

113

Between the amount of content from

the eighties and nineties of our

114

two every men, I was lucky to be

joined by 34 different guest hosts.

115

So, all of you guest hosts out

there, I hope you're listening.

116

I want to thank you personally.

117

And hopefully you'll be

back to join me on season 2.

118

We had two handsome hunks that we covered.

119

And I dubbed them the ultimate Everman.

120

I hope you guys agree.

121

It kind of sounds like a lot of

you do, but even if you don't,

122

I'd like to hear from you.

123

They're very similar in age, too.

124

Does anybody know who's older?

125

And by how much?

126

Yes, Kurt is older, but

only by about a year.

127

Kurt was born March 17th,

128

And Patrick was born August

129

Now, a long running gag of our first

season was, Trying to get my guests

130

to agree with me that I thought they

looked alike because I very much

131

think that they look a lot alike.

132

And I would say the long story

short in terms of the consensus

133

is that it was a mixed bag.

134

Some people did, some people

didn't, some people very much

135

did, some people very much didn't.

136

Ultimately, I think I was able

to twist some arms into kind of

137

seeing it after I pointed it out.

138

It's kind of one of those things,

like when you buy a car, you

139

don't, you only notice that car.

140

If you buy it, things like that anyway,

just to recap, some of the movies

141

that we covered , I did not cover

the season in a chronological order.

142

It sort of turned out to

be maybe a little bit.

143

Front loaded with the more popular

films, and we ended the season

144

with some of the lesser films, and

that was likely due to guest picks.

145

So, by the end of the season, all the good

ones, so to speak had been picked, but.

146

We start with Kurt Russell covering

the 80s and 90s movies of his career

147

in 1980 with Used Cars, and then

148

So, Used Cars.

149

Then we have The Fox and the Hound,

where he voiced Copper, and that

150

was released in 1981, the same

exact day as Escape from New York.

151

Then we have The Thing.

152

And then Silkwood, Swing Shift, The Mean

Season, The Best of Times, Big Trouble

153

in Little China was 86, Overboard 87,

Tequila Sunrise, Winter People, Tango

154

and Cash, that's 89, now Backdraft as we

155

Captain Ron, Tombstone, Stargate, and in

96, we get the sequel of Escape from New

156

York with Escape from LA, then Executive

Decision, Breakdown, and Soldier.

157

Very similar to Trajectory

with Patrick Swayze.

158

I did cheat a little bit.

159

I started the season or his 1st

160

that's just because it was his very

1st theatrical performance ever.

161

So that was Skatetown USA in 1979

162

Then The Outsiders, Red Dawn, Grandview,

USA, North and South, the 1st season

163

was in 1985, Youngblood, Dirty Dancing

in 87, they both had spectacular

164

movies in 87, Roadhouse in 89, both had

spectacular movies in 89, then Next of

165

Kin, Ghost starting the decade of the 90s.

166

That was 1990 and then Point Break

in 91 City of Joy, Fatherhood, Tall

167

Tale, Three Wishes, Two Wong Fu, Thanks

for Everything, Julie Newmar, that

168

was 95, ending in 98 with Black Dog.

169

So they both had their

last movie of that decade.

170

Where they at least

171

So neither of them had

172

Interesting.

173

You guys tell me what your

favorite Kurt movie is.

174

Tell me what your

favorite Patrick movie is.

175

From the 80s and 90s.

176

That was, that's the

criteria for this season.

177

You could probably tell from

the episodes, but my favorite

178

Kurt Russell movie is Overboard.

179

Followed very closely by

Big Trouble in Little China.

180

Patrick Swayze.

181

Dirty effing dancing and

I had several guests.

182

I feel like that didn't seem

into it or hadn't seen it.

183

And I, I just cannot say

it's not just for girls.

184

Like there's beautiful women.

185

It's so it's a hot, hot, hot, hot.

186

Movie the music is epic dirty

dancing y'all need to rewatch it

187

or watch it if you haven't and then

followed very closely by Roadhouse

188

Very clearly.

189

I hated Stargate.

190

That's my least favorite Kurt Russell

movie of this season did not like it at

191

all There wasn't a movie of Patrick's that

I didn't like at all So it's kind of hard

192

to pick which one was my least favorite

so to speak Oh Rambo's joining me Usually,

193

you guys, I have the dogs kenneled

while I record, but I didn't this time.

194

So that's who's back there.

195

He's, he's that's that

tail wagging behind me.

196

That's Rambo.

197

So, okay.

198

My least favorite movie for Patrick

was kind of hard to pick one, but

199

ultimately I went with Grand Theft USA.

200

It was just weird.

201

I didn't love it.

202

It was my least favorite.

203

Now People Magazine started their

204

never represented, which it's kind of a

travesty in my opinion, but Patrick was.

205

Anybody have any guesses which

year people honored Patrick?

206

Patrick got our people's

207

There's several reasons why I

wanted to put these two together in

208

addition to them both being super

handsome, them being every men,

209

them reminding me of each other.

210

They have a lot of connections actually.

211

So I want to.

212

Talk through that with you, I will say

there's even more after doing the season.

213

I recognized even more connections.

214

So they're both pilots.

215

Both of them had pilots license.

216

There is a fox and the hound connection.

217

So the original 1981 Kurt voiced

copper and then there was a 2nd 1.

218

I forget which year sometime later, but

Patrick voiced a character in the 2nd 1.

219

Cash was his name.

220

Isn't that interesting?

221

Kurt also played a character named

Cash but Cash was the leader of a

222

band called the Sing and Strays.

223

So there's a fox and a hound connection.

224

Speaking of Tango and Cash, we

talked about this in the episode but

225

Patrick was actually originally cast

as Gabriel Cash in Tango and Cash.

226

That Kurt ultimately took but he

did Roadhouse instead, and I'm not

227

mad at that, that's, that's awesome,

Roadhouse is a, is a better movie,

228

even though Tango and Cash is Awesome.

229

Kurt Russell was considered for Patrick's

role as Jack Charles in Fatherhood, as

230

well as the role Truman in Next of Kin.

231

They both had athletic

aspirations, but injuries turned

232

them towards acting full time.

233

So I'm, I mean, I don't want them to

have injuries, but we got them as actors.

234

So I guess that worked out for us.

235

Kurt Russell did pursue

baseball very seriously.

236

He even played in the minor

leagues before an injury

237

ended his sports aspirations.

238

And then he fully committed to acting.

239

Similarly, Patrick Swayze

initially trained as a.

240

Dancer attending Harkness ballet and

Joffrey ballet schools, but transitioned

241

into acting after injuries, curtailed

his dance and gymnastics career

242

that he talks about in his book,

243

Patrick Swayze and Lisa Naomi

wrote the time of my life.

244

That's the book I just showed.

245

So if you guys haven't read it,

this is another reminder for you.

246

They both played truckers.

247

So again, I know we talked about it,

but truckers were hot in the 80s.

248

According to cinema, black dog

and big trouble in little China.

249

They were both in Westerns tombstone.

250

Do you guys remember the

Western that Patrick's in?

251

So tombstone for Kurt, which

one was Patrick and anyone,

252

anyone, anyone tall tail.

253

They both dressed in drag.

254

To Wong Fu for Patrick and

anybody remember Kurt dressed

255

in drag and Tango and Cash.

256

They both played cops, Patrick in Next

of Kin and Kurt in Tequila Sunrise.

257

Although I will say, I think

Kurt played cops in several

258

movies, especially later too.

259

They both played military soldiers,

Uncommon Valor for Patrick and Stargate

260

escape from New York and escape from L.

261

A.

262

and then Kurt also played

a cop in tango and cash.

263

So, yeah, Kurt has played a lot of

cops as well as military people.

264

So they both played cops.

265

They both played military soldiers.

266

They both played characters

named Jack in a lot of movies.

267

Of movies, I know that's a

common name, but I mean, come

268

on can you guys think of them?

269

So, Kurt Russell, which

movies did he play Jack?

270

You know what Jack Burton

always says in a time like this.

271

Then we have Colonel Jack O'Neill.

272

So that's from Stargate, right?

273

Colonel Jack O'Neill.

274

Now, Patrick played Jack Charles.

275

Black Dog.

276

He played Jack, a character named Jack, in

the movie Three Wishes, and then Jack, oh,

277

I'm sorry, Jack Charles was Fatherhood.

278

It's too many Jacks and

Jack Cruz in Black Dog.

279

Forgive me.

280

There's just too many Jacks to go around.

281

Did you guys know that

Patrick had a nickname?

282

People close to him didn't

call him Pat or Patrick.

283

Anybody know what he went by ? His

dad was also known by this name.

284

Anyone?

285

If you read his book, you'd know.

286

Buddy.

287

People close to Patrick called him Buddy,

and his dad was known as Big Buddy.

288

So from a young age, Patrick was

affectionately called Buddy by

289

his family and close friends.

290

The nickname stuck with him

throughout his life, even as

291

he rose to fame in Hollywood.

292

Those who were close to him

continued to call him that.

293

It reflects the down to earth

approachable nature that Swayze was

294

known for both on and off screen.

295

His Texas roots and warm personality

made him beloved, not just by fans,

296

but also by colleagues, family,

and friends who cherished the

297

nickname as a term of endearment.

298

So rest in peace, buddy.

299

We miss you.

300

They both got several

awards, both good and bad.

301

Let's, let's see here.

302

Where do we start?

303

Where do we start?

304

I will also talk about a handful

of other standout movies that I

305

didn't cover because they weren't.

306

Either in the 80s or 90s, or it

wasn't like a big theatrical release.

307

So that was kind of the

criteria for this season.

308

Let's start with Kurt Russell.

309

He was a 1979 nominee for a primetime

Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a

310

Limited Series or special for playing.

311

Elvis Presley.

312

I think that was a TV movie.

313

Then he was the 2015 winner,

Hollywood Film Award for Ensemble

314

of the Year in The Hateful Eight.

315

I don't think this exists anymore,

but I, I love these old ones, sort of

316

like the TV land awards, but there's

the AARP Movies for Grownups Award.

317

He was a 2004.

318

Nominee best breakaway

319

blue now, a little more on this.

320

This has a 6.

321

6 IMDb rating.

322

I had not seen this movie before.

323

I will say listener of the show.

324

Adrian from Sweden.

325

This comes highly recommended by Adrian.

326

He was disappointed

that I didn't cover it.

327

So Adrian, this is just for you.

328

I hadn't seen it before, but

because in addition to you shouting

329

its praises it was the nominee

for best breakaway performance.

330

I did watch it for the first

time and I really was surprised.

331

Because it's a very different

type of role for Kurt.

332

He's a dirty cop.

333

Here we are with yet another

Kurt role where he plays a cop.

334

He's not a very likable person.

335

It takes place.

336

This is really interesting in LA in the

early nineties with a backdrop of the

337

not guilty verdict of the Rodney King

assailants and the subsequent riots.

338

So that's the setting that this movie is.

339

Taking place in I really

took note of the soundtrack.

340

I am a big, like nineties hip hop person.

341

So it has a fantastic soundtrack,

including EZE, TLC and Wu Tang.

342

Incredible cast.

343

So Ving Rhames, Brendan Gleeson.

344

It was directed by Ron Shelton.

345

Who we talked about because he directed

he directs a lot of sports movies.

346

And he did best of times and 2

other actors that were also rappers.

347

So it was really fun to see corrupt

has a pretty big part in this.

348

And then there's another person I was

like, oh, my God, is that Master P?

349

It sure shit was Master P.

350

And then his son in the movie.

351

Is.

352

I was like, God, who is that kid?

353

I mean, it really looked like what

Kurt would look like as a kid.

354

And I was like, I wonder if that kids

related to Kurt in some way, because he

355

looked just like how you would imagine a

young Kurt Russell so much so that when

356

I looked him up, he is Kurt's nephew.

357

We did talk about Kurt's

actual son playing the earlier

358

version of himself in soldier.

359

This is dark blue and his nephew.

360

He plays his son in the

movie, so that's super cool.

361

Then Kurt was also nominated for that

362

for best actor for the movie miracle.

363

Critics choice, super awards, 2024

winner for best actor in a science

364

fiction or fantasy series or a limited

series made for TV movie, blah, blah,

365

blah, blah, monarch legacy of monsters.

366

And that also got a Saturn award nominee.

367

This is so not my type of

thing, so I've not seen it.

368

I will just have to take their word for

it, but I'm sure Kurt was wonderful in it.

369

He got some not so great award noms also.

370

So there's Razzie's And I actually just

recorded a Razzie episode with friend

371

of the show, the 80s and 90s uncensored.

372

So I'll be sharing that on my social

soon when that episode comes out.

373

So there was a 2004 stinker bad movie

award nomination for Kurt for best.

374

Or I'm sorry for worst

fake accent for Miracle.

375

He has a Minnesotan.

376

Yeah, I think Minnesotan accent

for playing the coach in Miracle.

377

More on that a little bit later.

378

I, I don't think that was

warranted, but they did.

379

He was nominated in 1990 for a Razzie

for worst supporting actress, because he

380

was dressed in drag and tango and cash.

381

We covered that at the

time of that episode.

382

And then

383

this one is, I find a little interesting.

384

2002 Razzie nominee for

worst screen couple.

385

And now I haven't seen

this movie in a long time.

386

It's 3, 000 miles to Graceland.

387

Now this is worst screen couple

and there's two versions of it.

388

With either Kevin Costner or Courtney Cox.

389

Somebody might have to explain that to me.

390

Was he a couple with both

of them in this movie?

391

I'm confused either way,

the Rossi's didn't love it.

392

A few standout movies that we didn't cover

393

according to IMDb, and that was my

criteria for picking some standout movies

394

that we didn't cover 2007s Grindhouse.

395

So, which is kind of a weird, a weird

concept, Tarantino is like a double

396

feature and the second movie is the

one that Kurt's in and it's death

397

proof where he plays stuntman Mike 7.

398

5 IMDb.

399

I actually didn't realize what the

deal was, so I watched both movies

400

of grindhouse and either way.

401

I gotta say, I was honestly

shocked by the high rating 7.

402

5 is extremely high on IMDB.

403

So for Stuntman Mike,

I think Kurt was good.

404

I did very much enjoy Kurt as Stuntman

Mike, but the dialogue for the girls

405

in the I, I just couldn't get past it

was so overly done and like, overly

406

Tarantino just massively unrealistic

for how people actually speak that.

407

It took me out of it.

408

And I, I was just thinking, oh,

this is just like Tarantino in his

409

brain thinking a certain thing.

410

But again, Kurt was good, but

the movie average at best.

411

In my opinion, I have

no idea why I got a 7.

412

5.

413

And I'm not like a Tarantino basher,

there are some of his films I really,

414

really like, but this not one of them.

415

And then 2004 is Miracle

where he played Herb Brooks.

416

This got a 7.

417

5 also on IMDb.

418

And I do think that's worth it.

419

We do not get to see Kurt's natural

luscious signature locks in this

420

because he's wearing a wig to

portray coach or Brooks in this.

421

So it's that very.

422

Classic late seventies, early

eighties, men's hairstyle.

423

My dad totally had it.

424

In fact, he still does just

a shorter version of it.

425

There were some fun accents.

426

So he got kind of shat on by , the

stinker awards for his accent.

427

But I, I don't know.

428

I kind of liked it, but I get

a kick out of accents, so I'm

429

probably got the best judge, but

lots of fun accents in this movie.

430

We get Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota.

431

Like, that area of the country,

we get a lot of that accent.

432

We get a lot of Massachusetts

accent because that's essentially

433

most of the players were either

in the Minnesota, Wisconsin, North

434

Dakota area, or Massachusetts.

435

I will say, since I broke my wrist being

pushed down on an ice skating rink.

436

I had a little PTSD watching the ice rink.

437

Gotta say, I don't, I don't, I

think I'll be forever changed now

438

watching hockey or ice skating or

whatnot, but I did very much enjoy

439

rewatching this and it is beautiful.

440

I think it's worth the 7.

441

5 IMDb.

442

Okay, so are there some awards and

or some other standout movies that

443

we didn't cover for Patrick Swayze?

444

Sure.

445

Three , Golden Globe nominations for

best performance by an actor in a

446

motion picture, comedy, or musical.

447

Dirty Dancing, Ghost, which also got

a Saturn Award nomination, and to Wong

448

Fu, thanks for everything, Julie Newmar.

449

You guys, this really is a good movie.

450

I mean, if you haven't seen it,

it's, it's, It really is good.

451

You got to watch it.

452

You got to re watch that movie if

you haven't seen it in a while.

453

The guys are just, they're great.

454

Phenomenal, especially my Patrick he got

455

most desirable male in point break, duh.

456

And then 1989 BMI.

457

Did you guys know what that is?

458

I didn't.

459

It's broadcast music, Inc.

460

They have awards and he won.

461

For this song, she's like

the wind from dirty dancing.

462

We've talked about this throughout

the whole season because he

463

shopped that shit around.

464

And finally it got made for dirty dancing.

465

And then he won a BMI for it.

466

He also got nominated for a Razzie

for worst actor in two movies.

467

The same year, actually.

468

Both movies came out in 89

next of kin and roadhouse.

469

I mean, W.

470

T.

471

F.

472

What?

473

No, absolutely not.

474

Absolutely not.

475

Again.

476

You'll have to be on the lookout for

that Razzie episode that I did with

477

with another 80s and 90s podcast.

478

We talk about how it's bullshit.

479

Okay.

480

I also wanted to call out

the SNL Chippendales audition

481

sketch with Chris Farley.

482

This was aired on SNL October 27th, 1990.

483

It is epic.

484

It goes down in history.

485

It's remembered as one of the

show's most iconic sketches.

486

Look it up.

487

You're welcome.

488

It was the first actually SNL sketch

to feature Farley in a starring role.

489

I didn't know that.

490

And he, this was only his fourth.

491

As a cast member, so he was very new.

492

And this was like, he just

like hit it out of the park.

493

According to Farley's agent, Doug

Robinson, a video of the chip and

494

Dale sketch was what led to him

being signed by the talent agency.

495

C.

496

A.

497

Then.

498

I keep hearing about 2001's Donnie Darko.

499

I'd not seen it before, but

everybody keeps referencing it.

500

So Jake Gyllenhaal is in

that with Patrick Swayze.

501

And then Jake Gyllenhaal went on to

play Dalton in a Roadhouse remake.

502

So it has an eight on IMDb.

503

That is extremely high.

504

So I watched it.

505

Now Patrick is not, I think he's

maybe like the fourth or the fifth.

506

Credit, so he's not like the main

character Jake Gyllenhaal is, but he's,

507

he's a secondary character in this.

508

It's very strange.

509

It's a weird movie.

510

It has a cult following.

511

and I don't get it.

512

I think maybe I just really don't

get this, this eight IMDB rating.

513

I was bored.

514

Perhaps if I saw it back then, you

know, back at the, you know, at, at

515

the age I was then maybe at, and,

or if I saw it multiple times or

516

something, maybe I'd feel different.

517

But I, I'm absolutely shocked.

518

That it has an eight on IMDB.

519

I was bored.

520

I just, I, I don't know.

521

Maybe I'm really dumb, but it

was not a good movie like at all.

522

Tell me I'm wrong.

523

Tell me I'm right.

524

Tell me either way.

525

Let me know what you guys think then.

526

I wish I could have seen it.

527

There's high praise for

Patrick's last role.

528

So he was in a 2009 TV series

called The Beast, where he plays

529

Charles Baker, a veteran, FBI agent.

530

It has a 7.7

531

on IMDB.

532

It's very, very well received

by critics all praising Swayze's

533

performance, but it got low Nielsen

ratings because people know it's good.

534

And it was canceled.

535

And then , Patrick Swayze.

536

Passed away September 14, 2009.

537

He was only 57.

538

God, that's young

from , pancreatic cancer.

539

So I think I looked for the beast,

I was going to try and check it

540

out and I can't remember it wasn't

easily available to watch if I

541

recall, but I will update you guys.

542

If ever I get my hands on

and I'm able to see it.

543

I will try, so those are , some

awards, both good and bad.

544

As well as some other movies that

were rated very highly on IMDb that

545

we did not cover on this season.

546

Retro Junkies, that is a wrap

for this season of Retro Made.

filmographies of Kurt Russell

548
