 Welcome to another episode of frightfully forgotten VHS tales before we get started. What are we drinking today? We're drinking shivers. It's a Canadian common as opposed to a California common beer today We're gonna bring to you some stories about Convoy the movie on movie and just some stories about it. It's not horror we know But it's a movie that from our childhood goes way way back and yeah more so for Justin when I had met you You already into this movie. Yeah, I already had it. Yeah, and that was like 89 My dad was a truck driver. Yeah, what better trucking movie than fucking convoy, right? And then naturally, you know, I loved trucks everything to do with trucks And so I loved convoy and I remember when I first met you going over to your place Like I was blown away as to how many truck toys you had. Yeah, and I used to have truck wallpaper. Oh, yeah Truck everything everything trucks fun. I remember Going to your place and you know your mom let me in and Going through the kitchen and then going to the living room and you're watching convoy things the first time I ever saw Convoy like on the TV or whatever you're in that rocking chair Yeah, that little brown little brown rocking chair. You had some fake like truck wheel in your lap and you're just fucking giving her on this like Rocking chair watching convoy like pretending to shift and I'm like, what is this like you're really excited about this So you're like, I'm playing convoy. Yeah playing Sat down and beside you and watch this convoy movie and like, okay, I get it This is so fucking fun cuz it's a blast. Yeah, it's pretty good. I mean fucking Chris Chris Doverson and Bert Young Yeah, it's like come on. It's awesome. Yeah, it's a good cast. Yeah, it's a good cast Allie McGraw is pretty good male lead and actually it's a good story, you know Yeah, it's kind of a dumb story. Don't but it's good in the context of the movie Yeah, exactly. It's kind of silly too. You know a whole movie a whole hour and a half movie based on a song Yeah Yeah, which is actually quite the opposite really because a lot of songs are based on movie Yeah, it's a hit song from a movie like Ghostbusters. It is a good movie. It is it's fun. It's fun as fuck It's such a fun movie. We had watched it recently actually we were having a couple of drinks I think maybe we were even shooting that night. Carl Woods came over and we insert picture here We popped in convoy. Oh Fuck it was so funny fucking Ernest Borgnine is a blast. I need your car What are you kids doing in there? We're doing nothing officer. What do you mean nothing? What's that you got in your mouth? The kid's chewing all this weed that you did You got in your mouth Get the hell out of here The kid's car comes up to the ducks truck. There's all What do you think you're gonna do like in some shitty car next to a big He's all trying to see and then y'all drives him off the road and he goes through that chicken coop Through the roof like that a house Super ridiculous Sandwiching the car between the two semis and everything The fight scene too, I'm gonna go out and say that this is probably one of the best fight scenes ever I Think like one of the best So good like they did such a good job and I love how like the duck like Chris Christofferson The main character big, you know the leader of all the truckers, you know, and he all sucks It's all punched out and you can't even participate in the fight. I like the comedic realism of that I like Bert Young, too. He's all he's all running the trips over that You think they're all strong and tough and a bunch of badass guys and they all like And then I get serious at the end which is kind of neat the arrest the black character spider Mike for no reason But he's easy to arrest the black guy and like the states in the south or whatever So with no ground you just throw them in the cell beat the shit out of them And it's pretty dark at that point and then they have to go rescue him And they that's how they they create the convoy to go rescue him Yeah, yeah the character development you really feel for spider Mike This is a little bit more than a VHS tails. I think it's more of a VHS tail slash Recommendation yeah for this kind of forgotten little Underground trucker gem called convoy, which is tons of fun Chris Christofferson. He's all strong Yeah, I always love this. I love this in my house like a convoy poster in my Put that in my living room. That's a nice painting. Yeah, that'd be awesome like a painting of myself like that I'm all muscular and everything so until next time keep drinking and keep convoying
