***Demolition Man*** is the story of a futuristic paradise of peace and harmony in 2032—no guns, no disease, everyone's happy and healthy, and Libertarians live underground in the sewer—but then a white cop from the nineties ruins the whole thing.

### **Opening Phrase**

Where each week we sample another selection from Christian cinema, except not really—sometimes apparently we watch movies that aren't religious *or* awful, because Heath only has the one celebrity impression.

### **How Bad[?] Was It?**

Well, if you love the Joe Rogan podcast, but he's not explicitly racist enough for you, you will love this movie.

### **Best Worst**

* Heath: …best best prophecy. [It got everything right.]
* Noah: ...effort at a Schwartzneggarian one-liner. [Sly keeps trying for an "I'll be back."]
* Eli: ...dystopia. [What the Nineties was afraid of.]

### **Notes**

* Heath inexplicably chose to review a great secular movie this week, *despite* Noah not being away. Possibly they just needed a brief respite from torture—a gift to themselves between a Sports-tacular and a Christmas-tacular.

### **Jokes**

* [Heath: By the way, was Dennis Leary funny? Was he funny *then*?] [Noah: Never. Never once. His entire bit was talking really fast, and giving out lists, and making people think there must have been something funny in there that they missed at some point. That was *all* he ever did.] [Eli: I *loved* Dennis Leary. So—] [Heath: I think I thought he was funny, yeah.] [Noah: I never—see, he was just like fucking Adam Sandler: everybody was laughing at this shit and I was like "But he never even told a fucking *joke*!] [Eli: \*cackles\* This was almost my best-worst! If this podcast has a through line, it is the terrifying journey of Noah's life, where *we* (me and Heath) have been able to look back and been like "Oh no, I fucking loved that thing; I thought it was great ", and poor nine-year-old Noah was like "That seems pretty homophobic to me guys. Are you *sure*? Are you sure?"] [Noah: I would love to day that it was because it was homophobic that I didn't like it, but it was just not fucking *funny*. Not that homophobia is funny… okay, I'm going to dig myself into a fucking hole.] [Heath: No, but Adam Sandler changes the volume of his voice at *random*. Sometimes it's ALL THE SUDDEN LOUD! Isn't that funny? That's a joke, isn't it?] [Eli: Heath, I feel like you're kind of shitting on your own plate there, man. Let's not… "All the sudden loud" is not a trick out of not our bags. Let's find a much less glass house to throw stones at.] [Heath: He's one of my major influences. Artistically.] (4:55)
