A made for TV movie starring Tim Curry and Fairuza Balk (Of Congo and Island of Dr. Moreau fame) This scene says it all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUhuPn8_d0Q

It's not racist. He is white. He's also Hispanic (barely). They are not mutually exclusive.

As someone with an ethnic name I'll add a few things: 1. I don't care if someone mispronounces it as long as it's close enough. 2. If I say it's close enough, don't insist that it's not. 3. Don't apologize unless I missed my flight or something because I didn't understand you were saying my name. Out of those, I'd say the second one is by far the most annoying one. You're holding up the line trying to get my name right lets just move on.

Holy shit! Good job Chris Gethard calling out bands from the North Texas scene! I live in Dallas and I love it

"it's like reverse" ...........noooooo.

The whole movie takes place on that one street from The Warriors. It felt like there was just a grid of subway lines on top of every single street, especially in the car chase scene. Also, why didn't Tom just kill Raven after they rescue Ellen? In that scene when after he has just murdered tons of people on motorcycles Raven comes out (in his murder overalls) and says "I'll be coming for her, and I'll be coming for you too". Why doesn't Tom just kill Raven right there? He clearly has no problem killing MANY people.

Kazaam's rap name should be Jefferson Allensworth Rap. Because he likes to rap. There was a super weird and uncomfortable undercurrent about slavery in the movie. Max basically owns a human being, the mentioning Allen Allensworth (he who founded a community of free blacks), Kazaam refusing to be Malik's slave. While he does get his freedom in the end (sort of), it feels like they were setting up to address slavery but then didn't. Also, why does Max keep Kazaam around? He seems to be really irritated by him in the beginning even after he's revealed his powers. Why didn't he just make his wishes quick to get rid of him?

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. Mark Cuban is NOT hispanic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Cuban Super late but whatever I just got to this episode.

There was a confusing moment where Sparks recorded the DA, and used his voice to get Steel out of jail. It was weird, because it sounded like she just recorded his voice and played it back, but then she's also speaking it - as if it's an effect on her voice to make it sound like his voice. When Col. David is trying to track down Steel's location, they have a vocal effect that makes Shaq sound like - Arnold Schwarzenegger. I would have loved to see the scene where they call him up to get the words they needed for that very long conversation! Eat the hot dog, -Podponcho

A few notes: Lorraine Brocco not noticing Fisher Stevens leaving the near the end of the film makes no sense. There's a few instances in this movie where people have TERRIBLE peripheral vision - the scene where Angelina Jolie and her original boyfriend making out while the hackers are looking at her awesome computer comes to mind. Also, Fisher Stevens was arrested on a Plane by Agent Gill - how much time had passed? I assumed that he pretty much put on a disguise and left ASAP. Phreak near the beginning of the movie says he's calling Venezuela, but he has a Puerto Rican flag on his bed. It was also very rude of Dade to ask where the principal's office was to the one guy have a phone conversation, and when turned down just gives up and asks no one else? When talking about Angelina Jolie's laptop, Dade mentions something about the high framerate to which Angelina Jolie responds that it has a PCI bus. The PCI bus does nothing to increase graphics frame-rate, it's just the slot where you would plug in a graphics card or sound card. Not surprisingly, a lot of the "techno babble" makes absolutely no sense. Great episode!

If it is, I guess Steve Martin got bumped to Texas (born there, but raised California) - for Will Ferrell?

Upon re-listening to this episode, I had an epiphany. What if, the ghost mentioned in L.L. Cool J's song refer to a subplot that was cut from the film, but had already recorded for the song?

David's my favorite. You guys all rock, Thank you so much for 217 episodes of laughs, sads, science. So much science. <3
