Joshua ConkelHOST
Hmm.
Drusilla AdelineHOST
And they have to be put down by, uh, you know, a trailer park full of Audra Jordan, her daughter, Reginald VelJohnson, and Eric Warheim-
Joshua ConkelHOST
[laughs]
Drusilla AdelineHOST
... um, as veterans.
JustinHOST
That was
SimonHOST
Carl Winslow.
SimonHOST
Okay.
SimonHOST
I also thought he was dead.
SimonHOST
Yeah.
SimonHOST
The whole time, I'm like...
SimonHOST
I'm thinking Walmart brain Carl Winslow.
SimonHOST
It was just actual Carl Winslow.
Elric KaneHOST
You know, there's throwbacks to...
Elric KaneHOST
He's got Reginald Van, VelJohnson, you know, from Diff'rent Strokes, and Die Hard.
Elric KaneHOST
The, the cop from Die Hard is in here as one of the vets in the thing.
Elric KaneHOST
So it's got some fun throwbacks.
ChadHOST
Production designer, Tom Hammick.
ChadHOST
He also did the design work on "You're Next," "The Guest," "The Devil's Candy," "Blair Witch" from 2016, "Death Note," Ti West's "X" and "Pearl," and Zach Cregger's "Weapons." We have a cast of Adria Arjona, Rebecca Hall, Dan Stevens, Michael Biehn, Drew Starkey, Reginald VelJohnson, Eric Wareheim, and Alex Pereira.
ChadHOST
Hawk, do you remember the first time you saw this film?
HawkHOST
I do.
13 MINS LATER
ChadHOST
Don't overthink it.
ChadHOST
He's gonna throw a funny line.
ChadHOST
The motherfucker casts Carl Winslow from "Family Matters." Reginald VelJohnson is in it.
ChadHOST
[record scratch] [upbeat interlude] And he delivers the line of the movie, and this line tells you everything that this movie is.
Dustin FranklinHOST
Yeah, and she had one eye.
Dustin FranklinHOST
Um, I, I thought that Carl Winslow, shout out to Reginald VelJohnson, I thought he was the best part of the movie just because he had a couple lines that were funny, and I actually did like his character.
Dustin FranklinHOST
But the rest of the movie, the writing just, it was not good.
Dustin FranklinHOST
Uh, thin story at best with no logic, no explanation, just this, just, uh, used as a weapon to get us to, or a, uh, vehicle to get us to the action, which there's no shortage of, and it was great action.
Dustin FranklinHOST
I mean, Adria, Adria Ar- Arjona, she's great, and I've seen her in some other stuff, and I'm a big fan of hers.
Dustin FranklinHOST
But I just...
Dustin FranklinHOST
Her and Reginald VelJohnson, they tried their best to make chicken salad out of chicken shit, and for me it just didn't stick.
Dustin FranklinHOST
But-
Ryan ScottGUEST
It's like, you know, there's all these great actors that show up even just for little bits like Rebecca Hall, Dan Stevens, Michael Biehn.
Ryan ScottGUEST
Um, Reginald VelJohnson of "Die Hard" fame is in there.
Ryan ScottGUEST
And, like, it just, it just feels...
Ryan ScottGUEST
Again, it scratched every itch that I have.
7 MINS LATER
Ben PearsonHOST
These super soldiers are trained to just wipe out whatever's in front of them basically.
Ben PearsonHOST
And I, [chuckles] I admit that I was on board a- as they were, and this is not really a spoiler, they escape the facility that they were kind of contained in.
Ben PearsonHOST
And then they just end up at this trailer park where Adria Arjona's character and Reginald VelJohnson's character live.
Ben PearsonHOST
And [chuckles] I was just kinda like, "Okay, so why are these all-powerful genetically modified super soldiers just like stalking around this trailer park? Like why wouldn't they just move on to whatever it is that they're trying to do next? Like are, is it literally in their programming that they have to kill every single person that they come across?" Because I think there are, uh, I think that doesn't really track because there's a gas station scene earlier in the movie and I think there's at least one survivor there.
JD DuranHOST
Yeah
Megan KearnsHOST
... w- you know, we get those depictions of veterans and struggling with PTSD with Celeste, um, our main character, and obviously with Reginald VelJohnson's character.
Megan KearnsHOST
You know, so we...
Megan KearnsHOST
And they get...
34 MINS LATER
Megan KearnsHOST
You know, or like Tom Cruise with his kids in War of the Worlds.
Megan KearnsHOST
Like, there is space for that, to have that kind of complicated dynamic, to explore PTSD.
Megan KearnsHOST
I love Reginald VelJohnson.
Megan KearnsHOST
I'm always delighted when he shows up in something, and I feel no differently seeing him as Josiah.
Victor VasquezHOST
And so Adam Wingard has this kind of feeling of making things very epic in a way, especially when he's dealing with these humongous monsters like Godzilla and Kong.
Victor VasquezHOST
So how would that translate into a much more grounded story? Well, he included and got some of the help from these actors like Adria Arjona, Alex Pereira, Blake Kennedy, Reginald VelJohnson, Drew Starkey, Dan Stevens, and Rebecca Hall.
Victor VasquezHOST
Now, what the heck happens in Onslaught? Well, I'm happy to tell you from a non-spoiler perspective.
Victor VasquezHOST
In this film, we are introduced to Celeste.
MattHOST
I was like-
MarkHOST
And Reginald VelJohnson, my favorite guy, Carl Winslow from Family Matters.
MarkHOST
They were supposed to do a Family Matters reboot where Carl comes back.
MarkHOST
Probably not now.
MattHOST
Dude, I was so surprised to see him in the movie.
MarkHOST
I was shocked.
MarkHOST
I love Reginald VelJohnson.
MattHOST
It threw me off.
JTEHOST
Dan Stevens, who stars in The Guest and was actually in the last Godzilla vs. Kong film, also returns to work with Adam Wingard.
JTEHOST
And our boy, man, you had to be happy to see Reginald VelJohnson, our boy from Die Hard and Family Matters, making a return to the big screen.
JTEHOST
It was so nice to see him in this movie.
JTEHOST
And one of my favorite action stars of the '80s, uh, Hick- the man known as Hicks, Michael Biehn.
Benny HamlinHOST
Love the soundtrack of this movie.
Benny HamlinHOST
But so the, the plot is completely paper thin.
Benny HamlinHOST
With the exception of Reginald VelJohnson and, like, this government agent with no eyebrows, Dan Stevens' character, it has one of the worst makeup jobs I've ever seen in a major-
JTEHOST
