The Hunt for Red October

Yeah, none of the main characters have French accents, but there is a character in this that does have a French accent.

So they're not doing the like, you know, I don't know, like Hunt for Red October thing where they like start speaking in French and then it transitions to English.

Yeah.

It's just like...

Because I remember as a kid thinking, why is my mother not able to get, like...

She would talk about the hunt for Red October.

And she would, like, say, like, it's the search for Blue November or whatever.

It's, like, approximately right.

We'll talk about that later, how you get into that world and potentially ask us questions.

But for this one, the reason I wanted to do the intro is the movie is The Hunt for Red October, which if people don't know, it's actually sort of like a classic 90s action film.

It's obviously a Tom Clancy adaptation.

It's got very famous actors in, like Sean Connery, as obviously Sam O'Neill, who just died recently.

we have a lake-like dish in lithuania really water like it's just

this is this is garbage like

just hot garbage the whole script is is terrible in fact i wouldn't call this the hunt for red october i would call this the hunt for a script doctor which is what this movie needed so so badly to hold up in any set.

I mean, like you, going in, because I hadn't seen this since probably like 2000.

So Susie went into this not knowing that Seagal beefs it, right? She was blissfully unaware.

And we're watching it, and she's like, you guys are wondering if this is a Steven Seagal movie or not? like it's such a steven seagal movie for the first 40 minutes yeah wow okay like if you were completely unaware going into this you might start thinking like is this seagal's best movie like he's like is he a prominent part of a really good movie because there's so much of him that's in it and it's also complementary to the style that they're going for right like that yeah air force one hunt for red october style like his bullshit fits into it really well

well especially because based on the text of the film you can only assume that he is a wrong idiot yeah in the text of the movie like because they they set up this conflict with him and kurt russell and at first i was like oh what's the deal did they go to like college together or something did one of them sleep with the other one's girlfriend or something like that and like no Kurt Russell was the analyst that sent him on the mission that is the cold open of the movie to find the nerve gas that is on the plane.

So he thinks that Kurt Russell is full of shit and sent him on a wild goose chase and got one of his guys killed.

I think it is better than Some of All Fears, which I think is the third of those four.

I would agree with that.

And then I don't think it's better than Clear and Present Danger, and it's definitely not better than Hunt for Red October.

I like Some of All Fears more than I like Executive Decision, but Executive Decision is a better movie, I

And Sean Connery said what he did, and it was awful and reprehensible, but I can still watch The Rock.

or The Hunt for Red October.
