What are you talking
Jon RichardsonHOST
about now? You said it sounds like a sitcom and I said it sounds like characters from Police Academy.
Jon RichardsonHOST

Jon RichardsonHOST

Javier Grillo-MarxuachHOST
Michael Winslow from the Police Academy movies.
Javier Grillo-MarxuachHOST
He was the human noise machine from those movies.
Javier Grillo-MarxuachHOST
Yes.
Josh BellHOST
Yeah.
Josh BellHOST
And I think, you know, as for me as a kid, like I loved Bobcat Goldthwait in the Police Academy movies, the terrible later Police Academy movies.
Josh BellHOST
So I'm sure that was something for me that was appealing about it.
Josh BellHOST
But watching them both now, Better Off Dead is clearly better.
Chris JohnstonHOST
It's Easy Rider's Raging Podcast.
Chris JohnstonHOST
And let's talk sequels, shall we? To recap something I said on the last podcast where I talked about Police Academy 2, their first assignment, I said that sequels have that tricky balancing act of needing to be the same but different.
Chris JohnstonHOST
OK, but sequels to sequels have an even trickier sort of high wire act to perform because they need to be the same as the first film, but different to that film and also different to all the other films that followed it.
Chris JohnstonHOST
And I mentioned last time around as well that comedy sequels were often not good.
Chris JohnstonHOST
And in the sequel to Rush Hour, his partner, played by Chris Tucker, is an American cop who's now a fish out of water in Asia.
Chris JohnstonHOST
So they did the flip.
Chris JohnstonHOST
And so, in a sense, Police Academy 3, back in training from 1986, does do the flip in terms of its, you know, these random people, these sort of bunch of rejects we met in the first film at the Police Academy are now the instructors at the Police Academy training new randoms who are, you know, the new batch of rejects.
Chris JohnstonHOST
So that's the flip.
PaulHOST
I've always liked Steve Guttenberg.
PaulHOST
You know, Three Men and a Baby, all the Police Academy movies.

That movie, I'd never heard of.

Alyson HorrocksHOST

Matthew Ryan WilliamsHOST
Jim Morris was the soldier who wrote the original article that this story is based on, the true story that this is based on.
Matthew Ryan WilliamsHOST
Also, screenwriters include Gene Quintano, who was the writer of Sudden Death, the JCVD hockey hockey movie that we watched, as well as a credited writer on Police Academy.
Matthew Ryan WilliamsHOST
I don't think it's all of them, though.
Matthew Ryan WilliamsHOST
No, he started with Police Academy three back in training for Citizens on Patrol and five assignment Miami Beach.
Matthew Ryan WilliamsHOST
He also did write a movie I really enjoy that we need to watch at some point.

ColbyHOST
But I know he was in at least...
