Breakdown

So, that came out in 95, and that's the movie that Nate will be discussing or advocating for this week.

And this week's movie from 1997 that I will be advocating for that will be winning, by the way, is Breakdown.

A highway thriller? A semi-truck thriller? A car disaster film? I don't know.

I like highway thriller.

Yep.

Um.

So, and then Breakdown, you've got Kurt Russell and Kathleen Quinlan, JT Walsh, RIP.

Man, JT Walsh was so awesome, so sad that he's no longer with us.

So with me today to count down the next section of the films of my favorite of all time, we ended at 666, The Conjuring 2.

Last time.

And I'm Nick.

And today we are talking about the 1997 suspense thriller kind of action movie, Breakdown, starring Kurt Russell.

And Nick, you brought Breakdown to the table.

So why don't you tell us a little bit about your history with it?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Not a lot to it, but very enjoyable and a lot of fun.

I will say Breakdown for me is a four out of five.

right, man, let's jump into the facts on the princess bride.

Uh, the film, the princess bride was released on September 25th, 1987 with a PG rating and a running time of 98 minutes directed by the late great Rob Reiner and written by William Goldman from his own novel.

He adapted his own novel for this.

Real quick, just before we jump further into this, William Goldman is like one of my sort of heroes in screenwriting.

friend uh uh our friend gave us this great looking like beautiful copy of it and like yeah we still got that one

I had hoped that it was actually going to be The Princess Bride by S. Morgenstern and just the thing, but like the novel, right, is still framed like the movie, you know, kind of thing.

Anyway, okay, the film stars Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Mandy Patinkin, and Andre the Giant.

with a 93% Rotten Tomatoes score.

Patrick Dempsey is in it.

And then that movie, Outbreak, will go up against... 1997, one of the most underrated thrillers maybe ever, in my opinion, but definitely of the 90s, Breakdown, starring Kurt Russell and J.T. Walsh and Kathleen Quinlan.

It's a very, very good little sort of road caper some some some dual vibes to bring us back to to season one actually so um both very good movies good 90s thrillers both have the word break in the title this is gonna be a fun one we'll be back to normal steve you'll be the judge relax okay i'm not passing this one off okay you can you can calm down you'll be back to judging Nate will be taking Outbreak.

I'll be taking Breakdown.

All will be right with the world.

I want to give the fans what they want.

So it'll be interesting.

But that's down the road.
