BONUS Episode - Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F | Nothing But Netflix

[00:00:01] I was flipping through the channels the other day But there was nothing good on, I had nothing to play So I went to my computer and realized That there was so much content before my eyes But there's nothing but Netflix in my heart and on my screen

[00:00:20] There's always something that I still haven't seen But maybe one day we can try to watch the rest So Rob and Chappelle, give it your best Yeah, that's right, Nothing But Netflix is back! A big one this week! The number one movie on Netflix is

[00:00:43] Beverly Hills Cop, Axel F And the heat is on! We are back here, ready to talk about My partner in all sorts of investigations Here on Nothing But Netflix It's Chappelle, Chappelle how are you? What's up Rob? I'm good, I'm very excited

[00:01:06] I am happy to see Axel F is number one in the movies on Netflix But we could have saw that coming, right? I don't know what deal he has I don't know what deal he has with Netflix

[00:01:18] But there's no way this wasn't going to drop at number one on Netflix And be number one for about a week or so I'm glad we're in front of the game by talking about it This is my alternate intro that I wanted to do

[00:01:28] Boop boop boop boop boop boop boop It matters, it does That motif is seared into my brain Because I've seen all of the Beverly Hills Cops' scissors And I was happy they brought it back for Axel F But yeah, that perfectly encapsulates what we're doing here today

[00:01:52] We're doing the fourth movie of the same exact movie, four times And I'm very excited to talk about it And we have an Eddie Murphy expert on the panel with us I'm so excited here because you can never have too much firepower they say

[00:02:04] Okay, let's bring in another buddy Tyrone Graham, Tyrone how are you? I'm doing wonderful man I'm happy y'all brought me on here I am an Eddie Murphy fan, I got his picture on my wall

[00:02:17] I am ready to talk about Axel F and all the things that come with Beverly Hills Cop Probably of all the Eddie Murphy movies, this is Beverly Hills Cop 1 is the one I've watched the third most out of all of them So I'm excited about this

[00:02:31] Okay well, don't bury the lead, what's 2 in 1? Let me guess Coming to America would be number 1 And number 2 is hard because there's so many options For me I would pick life, but I don't think that's your number 2 It's not life because it's a hard movie to watch sometimes

[00:02:54] Yeah, it's not life I think it is, a real one would say Shrek but that's not your number 2 either No, you got one more guess I didn't guess, I think it's Harlem Nights It is not Harlem Nights Dang it, is it Boomerang? It's Boomerang Ah, god damn it

[00:03:14] I was like I actually only have one guess I was narrowing it down between Harlem Nights and Boomerang And I felt like that would be up there But yeah, it's a solid top 3 tie Okay, well this is the fourth Beverly Hills Cop movie

[00:03:28] It's been a minute since Beverly Hills Cop 3 Which came out in 1994 The original Beverly Hills Cop movie was The movie that really launched Eddie Murphy into movie superstardom Huge box office, I think $300 million for Beverly Hills Cop 1 Now admission from me

[00:03:53] I had never seen the original Beverly Hills Cop before this week I did a lot of research to get ready for this podcast But I had never seen the original Beverly Hills Cop 1 Oh, you only saw 3? No, I had not seen any of them

[00:04:13] I watched one this week to get ready for this And I did a lot of research to get ready for Axl F That's pretty good with dropping Rosewood's iconic Always need more firepower line That's pretty solid, that's good research

[00:04:28] Yeah, well look I wanted to do my homework to get ready for this So I guess my question is And I am certainly the most senior member on this podcast But I was but a little kid when the original Beverly Hills Cop came out

[00:04:48] And it's a movie that's rated R So at what age were you two exposed to the Beverly Hills Cop films? Some age Relatively young I am the least senior of the panel But even I remember watching it as a kid Kind of passively

[00:05:13] It wasn't ever something that I was like Oh mom, let's go watch Beverly Hills Cop But if the adults were watching it I could probably watch it along And then it was one of those movies that I don't want to say timeless

[00:05:23] But I remember it coming on television a lot And then with the sequels Then you would always get the replays of the original And so because they did two sequels prior to this one obviously

[00:05:34] There were plenty of times where I would just come across it in my childhood But it's definitely not a movie that was made for young Chappelle It was out before I was born And I probably should have been a little bit older before I started watching it

[00:05:46] And they're all on Netflix now You can go back and watch them But they go to strip clubs They're not all on Netflix Oh, three's on Netflix I didn't look for it I'm a number three apologist So I went to go see if it was on Netflix

[00:05:59] And it was not So I was like, huh, interesting Yeah, there's an agenda there They're trying to silence number three So number three ain't that bad Yeah, I mean my brothers are seven and ten years older than me So I watched

[00:06:12] I saw Billy Rosewood in Fast Times at a young age You know what I mean? You know what I'm saying? So I've seen all the deliriouses and the Raws And the Beverly Hills Cop And everything in between at a very, very young age Okay

[00:06:26] So this was a long wait from 1994 The Beverly Hills Cop 3 That we end up now What? 20 years 30 years greater 30 years greater 30 years greater From the Beverly Hills Cop 3 To ultimately end up here for Axl F

[00:06:48] Ty, what kind of setup do we need before we talk about Axl F? Do you want to just talk big picture? Well, my question for Tyrone is Was anybody waiting for this? As the Eddie Murphy big fan on the panel

[00:07:01] Have you been waiting 30 years for another Beverly Hills Cop? I watched it at 3 a.m. in the morning The day that it launched So absolutely A big fact that a lot of people don't know is Beverly Hills Cop 1 was kind of like the first

[00:07:16] Or maybe one of the first action comedy movies And it was number one for 14 I'm sorry, yeah, for 14 weeks straight So it's not like, you know The franchise is heavy in people's minds And so yeah, I think Behind Coming to America

[00:07:32] This is probably the one that people was looking forward to a reboot of For Eddie Murphy, for sure And did you enjoy the Coming to America sequel? I enjoyed Yes I can't say no Sorry That almost sounded like an answer

[00:07:49] Well, because I know that the Coming to America was I feel like largely viewed as a disappointment And I think that this seemed like It's a very personal project to Eddie Murphy It sounded like that a Beverly Hills Cop reboot Sequel had been in the works

[00:08:06] I think from what I understand Like from back from like 2009 They've been trying to do a fourth Beverly Hills Cop movie And I really got the sense That Eddie Murphy wanted to stick the landing on this one Really wanted to rewrite the sins of Beverly Hills Cop 3

[00:08:22] And really do a good final Beverly Hills Cop movie Yeah, with Beverly Hills Cop 3 He'll tell you himself They even made fun of it in Axl Elf You know that it was a shitty movie And he is not He's done with doing shitty movies

[00:08:39] He's done plenty of them But he's done with doing those terrible movies And I think what they learned from this With director Jerry Bruckheimer Who also did I believe Bad Boys 4 Is that the best way to continue with these sequels With these old actors

[00:08:55] Is to stick to the nostalgia, right? Lean into what made it popular in the first place And for my opinion, I think they did a great job There's a lot of callbacks to the first one And the second one for sure

[00:09:08] And I think that's what they're trying to do And the second one for sure in this movie Ty, you were happy with Axl Elf? I was happy with Axl Elf Because I knew going in What I should watch it for, right? I should watch it for just

[00:09:27] Like I said, the nostalgia part of it Coming back to some of those things That kind of made me laugh with the original one Some of the antics of Axl Foley Making sure we lean into that a lot I don't think, honestly, 30 years ago

[00:09:40] Was when Beverly Hills Cop 3 happened I appreciated Beverly Hills Cop 3 But it didn't really lean into what we knew about Axl Foley And this one completely leaned into Axl Foley Which is what I appreciate about it the most Yeah, to me that was the most disappointing thing

[00:09:56] About Beverly Hills Cop 3 Is that they made a third movie After years of not having one And then they didn't use it to tie up any storylines We didn't learn anything new about Axl Foley In the third one that would say

[00:10:10] Okay, this is the end of the story So this really felt like, okay Now we've learned some more intimate details About the character Axl Foley Because prior to this None of the other movies explored Probably any of his life

[00:10:23] I think this is the movie where we find out That he actually had a family I think prior to this They barely touched on any type of dating situation Kids, none of that And so this really felt a lot more personal and adult Than those last two

[00:10:38] Which were really just comedic shooting movies Beverly Hills Cop isn't going to give you anything It's going to give you a shootout And a high-speed chase And so Unusual vehicles Yeah, you have to outdo yourself Unusual vehicles Yes So I mean at some point

[00:10:53] The helicopter had to come out And so I think by giving us this one Really did flesh out the story And the character a lot more To where you can say If this is the last one I feel like I've learned enough

[00:11:04] To where I can tell you about the franchise And wrap it all up in a bow Yeah, I thought this was really fun also I was going to say, spoiler alert This is not the last one They're already working on number five What?

[00:11:15] And then sometimes you just go too far And see, that's the problem That's the problem See, we were all Everything was happy And everything was good But I am so anti-sequel I just For me Sometimes a story can be told And then it can just end

[00:11:30] And that can be okay Why do we need a fifth one? What? These characters are dying, Kim They are dying They're literally getting old and dying They've killed off so many characters From the franchise already And now we have to do this again

[00:11:45] We don't know who's going to be available By the time they're done filming number five These people are getting old It's been 40 years Let it go Yeah, I feel like that's the cardinal sin here Because I feel like that This was really, really fun

[00:11:58] I really enjoyed this one But I feel like you got out of the casino And you were up People like this movie It's 66% on Rotten Tomatoes All the Beverly Hills Cop fans are happy You make another one It's not going to go great

[00:12:18] Yeah, and Beverly Hills Cop 3 was 11% on Rotten Tomatoes We've got to do something You did the thing Mission accomplished Mission accomplished I'm with you I think the storyline kind of made it feel like This is the end, you know, of it

[00:12:33] Because some of the antics that he usually does So very well Didn't really hit all the way through successfully I was shocked to hear that there's a number five Already in the works But people just feed off of that They have money They have money, man

[00:12:48] I want to ask a question This movie For anybody who didn't see it But I'm assuming that either people Watch the movie And want to hear us talk about it Or aren't going to watch the movie So I think we're good here

[00:13:02] But we're going to spoil the whole movie The movie takes place Where we see a lot with Axel Foley's daughter, Jane Is Jane's mother the love interest from the third movie? No And I got it all broken down All right, so when they said he had a daughter

[00:13:22] I kind of paused the movie And I was like, all right, who could it be? This was before we saw Jane And I said, all right So in the first one He really didn't have a love interest But he had an old college buddy named Jenny Summers

[00:13:32] And she's very beautiful They had a little commentary That made it seem like possibly, right? In the second one He had a little flirtatious vibe With Captain Bogemil's daughter In the second one But then the third one Was the first time they introduced a love interest

[00:13:49] Which was Teresa Randall's character Who was Janice Perkins If I'm not mistaken So you think Janice You think Jane And you think, boom, this is it But the problem is The third one came out 30 years ago And Jane is 32 years old

[00:14:04] And even on her driver's license in this one It says she was born in 1991 So it's some other person That happened in between number two and number three I thought that maybe This movie takes place in the future And maybe that the mom was from the third movie

[00:14:17] But if it happened in 1991 And we have in canon That the events of the third movie took place in 1994 From what Joseph Gordon-Levitt says Then yes, there is a mystery woman Who was a Beverly Hills resident? Did Axel Foley take up? No Yeah No, she was

[00:14:38] His baby mama is in Detroit And so that's the thing From the third movie All of the Beverly Hills cops movies Largely take place in Beverly Hills All of these love interests that Todd just outlined All take place in Beverly Hills Except this one

[00:14:53] This is the one where the daughter is telling us Throughout the movie No, we were in Detroit Then you moved us to Beverly Hills And then you moved back to Detroit essentially You know And so whoever this lady is She's a Detroit lady

[00:15:06] And I think that might be one of the storylines That they need to tie up And one of the questions they're going to answer In the next Axel F movie That's coming apparently Because I mean What else are we going to be talking about? If we're just like

[00:15:18] There's no other loose ends to tie up They need to tell us who this woman is Who is this woman? Okay Yeah, but it's not Jane From Janice I guess From number three Yeah, and they needed a reason to come

[00:15:30] So in all of the Beverly Hills cops movies Beverly Hills cop one His friend Mikey died That's what brought him to Beverly Hills Beverly Hills cop two Captain Bogemil got shot That's what brought him to Beverly Hills And then in three What's his face? Died

[00:15:46] The police captain died Yeah The police captain died So this was the reason to come to Beverly Hills Is the daughter So if they're going to have a fifth one They got to make up a reason Another reason for him to come to Beverly Hills

[00:15:58] Yeah, so Axel Foley is famously from Detroit Chappelle, do you feel like it was time For Axel Foley to return Because the city of Detroit is back Where the lions have now risen to prominence Is that why it's time All of the tides from Detroit are rising?

[00:16:18] Well, you would think that But then every The theme of all of these movies Is that he gets the hell out of Detroit As fast as possible And he never goes back Every movie Every movie The one pattern that you get

[00:16:28] You cannot have a Beverly Hills cop movie Without somebody saying Go get on the plane right now And him going, yep I'm going to do that And then he does it And he doesn't do it They say we will drive you Out of the city limits

[00:16:39] And he says, yep I'm going And he doesn't do it He tries to stay out of Detroit longer Than the lions been trying to stay Out of the Super Bowl You know, so I think that it's quite the opposite I think Yank should be leading into Detroit

[00:16:49] He's trying to get away He actually makes it sound like An awful place to be I'm not even going to lie to you I think watching the Beverly Hills cops That and Fox News Is really colored the way I look at Detroit Just saying

[00:17:07] Do we spend the most time in Detroit In this movie? I guess in the first one That they We saw like a big car chase in Detroit But we actually go to A Red Wings game in this Yeah That's probably the most local moment

[00:17:20] That we've had for Detroit In any of these movies Because I think in the In the second one He like tell his homeboy Like, hey, drive my Ferrari And make sure You know, like people think I'm in Detroit But like So you get like the flashes

[00:17:32] Of back and forth to Detroit But he's trying His damnedest To stay out of Detroit Every time Like Ty said Normally it's because One of his friends gets shot Or killed or something like that I was actually surprised That none of the Like his title Like his homies

[00:17:47] Got killed in this movie Because typically He's mourning the loss Of one of his friends In one of these movies And yeah And that drives him To where I mean, that's why he can't leave He's like, I can't possibly leave now Because it's so deeply personal to me

[00:18:00] This tie that I have To Beverly Hills And this time They didn't have to do that Because they had his daughter there Yeah Also, Billy gets kidnapped So in this movie At least it's like They didn't kill off One of his friends To start the movie Yeah Yeah

[00:18:17] Which I was like, no You don't see the link up With him and Billy Until like 30 minutes left Is in the movie So that's another reason For him to stay Because you gotta find Billy You can't leave Rosewood out there Yeah Yeah Now, Axel Foley

[00:18:29] Is holding up great But is it worth talking about That Axel Foley Has gotta be Like, okay In his mid-60s I think at this point He's 63 years old 62, 63 years old Yes In this movie And is black Definitely don't crack And I think they kinda

[00:18:48] Leaned into that a little bit When he was talking about Paul Reiser's character With Paul Reiser, yeah I mean I would argue that Paul Reiser is probably not The worst aged actor In this movie Because My guy John Ashton Who plays Taggart I didn't recognize him

[00:19:06] I thought they recast him I was like, oh That's sad That the original actor Didn't make it this far It's really sad That they had to bring him Cause I did not recognize that man It's stress from the marriage Chappelle It's stress Yeah Yeah, okay Look

[00:19:24] It's been a long time I'm not judging him For getting old That's the goal The goal is to get old But yeah He definitely didn't look like If you put the cast Side by side Next to their 40 years ago cast A lot of them are unrecognizable

[00:19:39] Eddie Murphy is not One of those people Who's unrecognizable He's not much the same Put on a little weight He's not as athletic As he used to be But you could still tell It was him Now Fun fact I remember watching The first Beverly Hills Cop

[00:19:52] And I remember There was like an enforcer guy He's like a security guard Type situation And I was like, oh I don't know who this man is But he seems like a mean guy You know He was there To drop the hammer He was the muscle And then

[00:20:05] And then It hit me This time Watching Axl El Who the hell that was It was Mike Ermitrop Why couldn't I come back He looks so much older With hair Than he does without it I was like, that's That's incredible I was like, who is this man?

[00:20:20] But yeah A lot of these people have Have seen younger years But they're blessed To have made it this far Thanks Yeah And Axl Foley's still Moving around great Yeah I don't know what His stunt situation is like In this movie

[00:20:36] Or was like in the last few movies But Yeah The stunt man The stunt man was doing A lot of lifting In this one Because Eddie Who had to be nimble For some of the stuff They were doing in this movie Yeah Yeah Because you know

[00:20:50] The thing that I would compare it to Is you know That so Indiana Jones They did the trilogy And then they brought back Indie for You know A movie It They actually did get Bring back Indie For a fourth movie Around that time They were talking about

[00:21:05] First doing this 2008 And it was a disaster And then they did another one And you know But Indie Was not looking too good That Indie really Looked like And Harrison Ford is in his 70s But They had to do a lot of the movie Where it's like

[00:21:20] Passing the torch And he couldn't do What he used to do But For Axl Foley I don't think there was any of that In this movie Of that he could not do The same things That he was getting away with Way back when Yeah I don't You know

[00:21:36] I think they might have limited Some of the stuff That they wanted to do But you know As far as Action movies are considered Like the original one Wasn't extremely action packed Especially when you compare it To Indiana Jones Sure Fun fact Ladoon came out the same year

[00:21:50] As Beverly Hills Cop 1 But The original character For Axl Foley Was actually supposed to be Sylvester Stallone Yes So It was supposed to be Probably a lot more action packed Than it ended up being Well Ty Sylvester Stallone Is always getting dragged By the Beverly Hills Cop franchise

[00:22:06] And even here There's still Easter eggs To Sylvester Stallone Because Stallone Was supposed to be The original Beverly Hills Cop And then He ended up like Wanting to do all these rewrites On the script And then Eventually Took his whole thing To go make His own version

[00:22:26] Of Beverly Hills Cop Yeah He made Cobra Cobra Yeah It was a terrible movie But that's what he ended up doing And they've been They've been kind of Digging at Sly All Since Beverly Hills Cop One I remember I don't remember that reference In Beverly Hills Cop one

[00:22:44] And Beverly Hills Cop two They had pictures Of Sylvester Stallone Yeah In Roe Woods house And then in the third one They had like Sayers talk about Somebody named Stallone Wanted to buy the gun Or something like that Well Ty In Beverly Hills Cop two

[00:22:57] They have Brigitte Nielsen Who is Stallone's White I don't know if an ex-wife At the time Were they like Ex-wife Yeah I got a twist Of the knife Rob Yeah You got your ex-wife It was Rambo knife That's what it is Yeah Yeah Also I'd seen an article

[00:23:15] About an interview Eddie Murphy did On Jimmy Kimmel Where they were talking about His His action Star You know Prowess And you know Kind of How it feels to try To be doing a movie Like this at 62 And you know Some of the stunts And so I think

[00:23:32] The article said Something to the effect of They would ask him To run down the stairs Right And so he'd run down the stairs And they said Okay but Can you do it faster this time And he said Okay And so he tried to get And he's like

[00:23:45] No Eddie But faster Like literally Go faster And so He finally said Look I look like Axel Foley But I'm not Axel Foley We have to figure out A way around this And so they came up With the short term That if it was ever Something they were

[00:23:59] Asking Eddie Murphy To do outside of His physical limitations He was gonna say I'm gonna do it And that's real Because Morgan Freeman At 62 Was still doing Action movies But you gotta believe He wasn't running up And down stairs And stuff like that So He was the president

[00:24:15] They don't run Yeah They don't run Yeah so I think Eddie Murphy You know I think he played it off Yeah these days Dear God Imagine having a president That's only 62 Wow that'd be crazy But yeah So I think that Even though The show does

[00:24:31] The movie does a good job Of bringing up The story of Axel Foley That we grew up with Yeah So should we Go through the story And talk about Everything that happens Here in Axel F? Sure You got it Yeah Okay so Axel Foley Seems to have

[00:24:47] Like some intel About That there's gonna be Like a big heist Of the Detroit Red Wings While they're playing Their game Yeah This is The problem Crime Yeah I guess though Right They're like You know And I mean He's not gonna Show up He's Black

[00:25:06] And this is hockey But he does He pulls up And the whole time He's there I'm expecting His partner to get killed You know like Because again That's such a hallmark In all these Beverly Hills cop movies I'm like any second now His partner's gonna get killed

[00:25:20] I mean somebody's gonna die He's gonna get a phone call And somebody's dead But nah He makes it through He makes a couple Negro hockey league jokes And uh Destroys half the city And I'm sorry He's gonna rob a bank And he will tear down the city

[00:25:32] To make sure that you go to justice And like at some point You gotta just let him go Because it's not worth the money How much treasure Could the Detroit Red Wings Have on their person That it was worth The potentially billions of dollars

[00:25:41] Of damage that was done To the city of Detroit When is the last time The Detroit Red Wings Won a championship Because there was a championship Ring in there And I don't know How accurate that is You're like Detroit doesn't win stuff What are you talking about

[00:25:53] Look there's a There's a There's a There's a There's a There's a Look there's a There's a hockey fan Somewhere right now Yelling at us I don't know When the Last time that happened But they did make sure To flash the ring Maybe 08 So you know Probably

[00:26:11] He's not on the team anymore That's 16 years ago It was a It was a classic It was a relic Antique if you will You know Sometimes it go You go that long And I win it I think I think as long as you get one

[00:26:23] That's all you can ask for Who is the conference Or division championship Who knows Who knows Okay Well it seems like That he's being celebrated For apprehending These jewel thieves But Paul Reiser His character Is getting a lot of flack For this Deputy chief Jeffrey Friedman

[00:26:39] And he's back He's back You know Is he in all the movies Or is he Just one and two Just one and two I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know

[00:26:54] I don't know I don't know I don't know Just one and two Didn't make Number three, unfortunately Okay And look None of these guys retire They're all still Out there But Finally Jeffrey Friedman Eventually He's going to retire He took the fall For Axel Foley On this one

[00:27:13] And He's doing it because At least he has a family To go to Axel Foley doesn't have anything Except for His work He's a deadbeat That's basically What they're telling us In our faces He's a deadbeat. He doesn't talk to his daughter. He's addicted to this cop life.

[00:27:31] That's why he stays on the streets, even though he's 60 plus years old. And just like in Beverly Hills Cop One and going further, the inspector or the chief is taking hits for Axel Foley's antics. And that's what we have here.

[00:27:46] Yeah. But in Axel's defense, the chief acting like he want to go home to take care of his grandkids and stuff like that. He don't even like his grandkids. He said one of them could be a sociopath. I've always said this.

[00:27:55] You don't know who these kids are when you have them. They they they you know, you can you can nurture them to be whoever you want them to be if you can try. But, you know, deep down, if that's a sociopath, that's a sociopath.

[00:28:04] And then you can do about it. So, you know, I don't know. I like to hear both sides. We need to interview the grandkids first before we start making any snap judgments about people and the way they treat their kids and their grandkids.

[00:28:14] I'm just saying, because we like me. I said the kids take a lot of hits in this movie. They really were. There's several people who like, bro, our kids ain't even that cool. And I started to think maybe that's the underlying message here.

[00:28:26] Like, is Axel Flowey's daughter even that great? She seem all right. Mm hmm. Yeah. Right. Well, he tried to say like it's hey, like it's your fault, too, if this thing didn't work out. And she was like, no, you're the parent. That's your fault.

[00:28:40] He's like, well, you don't have good vibes. I don't want to hang out with you. You suck. Yeah. We hear kids called losers in this movie. Sociopaths in several different ways. They just really just try to make sure like you could be a deadbeat,

[00:28:52] but your kid could also suck. Both things can be true at the same time. Yeah, true. That's OK. So we then see for the first time Jane, Jane Saunders, not Jane Foley, that she is a lawyer and she is working

[00:29:11] with the case of a man who is on trial for killing a police officer. I think this guy's name is Sam. Yeah. Sam and Enriquez. Yeah. You know, yeah. Yeah. And so he doesn't have like a good alibi

[00:29:30] for how he ended up next to this cop that was shot named Copeland. And so we end up seeing that we go to trial and we're seeing that Jane is trying to subpoena these records. And ultimately, Jane is barking up the wrong tree.

[00:29:47] And we see some masked men try to intimidate her into dropping the case. They do a very elaborate stunt of like, like pushing her like her car out of a parking garage just to intimidate her. Yeah, I was similar to Chappelle's watching one of the interviews

[00:30:05] and they was like, you know, even though this is a comedy, they want you to know that this is like very real stuff that's happening. And so they wanted the villains to be villains and they was villaining in this moment. I thought shorty might have been gone.

[00:30:19] I was like, I know shorty's face from others, from other stuff. And maybe it might be too soon. But this might be the death that Chappelle was looking for. This might be the death that brings him to Beverly Hills. And he got a vengeance.

[00:30:32] This might be the one. Mm hmm. Yeah, I was hoping for I mean, I hoping that she died, obviously. But I was like, I'm waiting as a person who knows these movies. I'm like, OK, somebody about to die. I think it's you. You're gone. But I don't know.

[00:30:44] I feel like you it's such a half measure. Like I understand you're threatening her, but no disrespect. But why not just kill her? You know, you went to all this to just push her off of the off the parking garage. Like that would dangle her

[00:30:57] feet hundreds of feet in the air or however many feet in the air in a car to be like, don't don't make me do this again. It's like, OK, at this point, why don't you just do it? Yeah, that's a good point, because I think it speaks to,

[00:31:09] you know, you have this lawyer and you want her to drop the case. Right. And so I think you want to like, again, I don't want to tell the hired guns how to do their job, but I think you want to like sort of like intimidate her.

[00:31:20] Like, oh, I better drop this case. Otherwise, but like at the point where you do all this, like I think there's going to be a lot of questions asked of like, what did they want? It's like they wanted me to drop the case. Right.

[00:31:31] Why did they dangle you off the side of the building, lady? I don't know. I'd like to drop the case now. Like, oh, OK. And the main villain is yet to be revealed at this point. You you find out nothing is going to come back on him.

[00:31:43] He has too much power anyway. So why not just offer? I agree. Yeah. All right. They didn't think that one through. OK, so we see Judge Reinhold's character, Billy Rosewood, that he's been, I guess, working like with Jane on trying to investigate this case,

[00:32:06] that he's the one that's saying like, oh, see you. You do remind me of your dad. He's going out on his own and he's going to go investigate. He has like some an SD card with some footage and he's going down to where he thinks

[00:32:22] that he's going to get some information about this someplace, like by the dock. And he's instantly captured. Yeah, he's a P.I. Now he doesn't work for the Beverly Hills Cop Police Department any further. And so he's at the impound.

[00:32:37] He's investigating Copeland's car and he finds that SD card in there to basically says what actually happened. And so, of course, he immediately gets kidnapped because you can't solve the case that quickly in the movie. We're only 30 minutes in at this point. So that's that's where we insert

[00:32:58] Axel because Axel is on the phone with him and he tells him he's at the impound. Here's the dogs barking. So that kind of heads up where he needs to start investigating first. Yeah. And good for Judge Reinhold, who's back.

[00:33:11] He has not been in a lot of things lately. You know, a lot of these people have kind of been like off the grid for a while. I get used. I see Judge Reinhold. I'm like, oh, God, is that Billy?

[00:33:23] You know, like I said, I hadn't seen him in so long. I won't say he didn't age well. He just aged. You know what happens? And I was like very surprised that I can't think of the last thing I'd seen him in prior to Beverly Hills Cop.

[00:33:37] I mean, I mean, before Axel Elf, what? No, I mean, like, yeah, since Beverly Hill Club three. Has he been in anything? So he has not. I'm on his IMDb. He has not been in anything since 2017.

[00:33:51] He was in four Christmases and the wedding and the movie Bad Grandmas, which I guess is a sequel to Bad Grandpa. He was in four Christmases. I don't see that movie. Is it a wedding? No, I think. Four Christmas and a wedding.

[00:34:09] Not to be confused with four Christmases. Yeah, that's different. OK, that's different. And I know this might be like a Hallmark movie or something. So, yeah, it's been a minute since he's been in anything big. But look, they they had his number.

[00:34:28] Oh, yeah. They they clapped him up real quick. But why? Why not kill him either? I don't get it. That's that's why I think it would be too sad. Oh, you talk about Billy? Yeah. So you got to leave Billy alive because they're looking for that SD card.

[00:34:43] You know, they don't want like let's say Billy dies and he's told somebody where the SD card is or something like that. Then you're like, if you kill me, then my people are going to make sure this tape gets out and then you're going to be sorry.

[00:34:56] So they got to keep Billy around at least till they find the car and then they can murder him. Because I was wondering the same thing. Because again, I'm waiting on the bodies. I'm like, all right, because I just I'm so used to Eddie Murphy.

[00:35:07] The one thing he was he's done Axel Foley is he grieves his friends really quickly like they die and then he moves on to the fine crime. Well, he never mentions him. He never cries. He never goes like we never see anything.

[00:35:17] And so I was like, OK, you could get rid of Billy here. But then I think leaving Billy in is still a lot of fan service. I think he's such a beloved character in the franchise

[00:35:27] from even from the first movie when he was him and Axel Foley weren't even cool. I think people still had a soft spot for Billy. And we've seen him evolve from just like it seemed like this, like innocent cop

[00:35:37] to like all of a sudden this gun toting like a like a super cop. And then now he's a private investigator. So we really watched the whole timeline again. If you're making another Axel F movie, Judge Ronald ain't doing a lot of acting.

[00:35:51] I don't know how much longer you got Billy for. You need to go ahead and knock these out. That's probably why he was in only in a quarter of the movie, actually. Yeah, I'll show my face, but I'm really not going to be doing this.

[00:36:02] I really wonder what he does now. I'm definitely this is the most interesting thing about this movie to me now. I need to go and do a deep dive in the judge. I'm a proud host career. What does Billy Rose would do in life?

[00:36:13] Yeah, it's taking it easy. It's chilling resting on his Beverly Hills cop money. I'm mad at it. All right. Well, we end up where Billy has been captured. Jane has this whole thing going on that.

[00:36:30] All right. It's time for Axel Foley to go back out to Beverly Hills. He gets a ride to the airport from Paul Reiser, which was very nice. And so he's going to go investigate what's going on over in Billy Rosewood's office.

[00:36:45] And one other thing, Axel Foley's superpower is that he is a great BS-er. He's going to just show up and just start vamping, pretending to be people, and for the most part, people buy it. Yeah, I'm actually pretty curious because all of the original movies,

[00:37:05] when he moves into these types of characters, it's improv, right? Is right off the top of the dome and he just makes it happen. I'm curious if he did it this this time around. I will say this is no shout out.

[00:37:17] I mean, this is no shade to one of the people I love the most, but I don't think he does it as well as he used to do it. So it makes me think this doesn't always work. Now, it doesn't always work. You used to always work.

[00:37:29] It used to always work. But now he's struggling a little bit. He's got some gaps in his in his play a little bit, you know what I mean? But he started off pretty good. Right. You know, you say, hey, what y'all doing here?

[00:37:42] And then you make them say who the person is named that you you supposed to know. Right. And then you get upset with them at the same time. It was pretty great job. Right now. The whole Wesley Snipes thing, I don't know where that came from.

[00:37:55] I guess he was just paying homage to him because he was on coming to America or whatever. They got a great bond or whatever now, but I don't I don't see the similarities. Mm hmm. Right. He just he pretends to be someone just long enough to get information

[00:38:09] from the people and then for them to leave him alone. It happens all the time in all these movies. But this yeah, throughout this movie, none of his old bits are just hitting like they used to hit and not to the audience,

[00:38:19] but to the actual people that he's using them on. You know, like this one doesn't work because he's pretending to be somebody he's not. But there's a picture of him in Billy's room. So he's like, yeah, I don't know who this Billy character is.

[00:38:30] And they're like, you sure? Because this is you in the photo. Oh, damn. You know, my bad. Wow. That's crazy. But, you know, amongst those is called callbacks. I even like some of the musical cues they were using in the movie.

[00:38:42] The new time dance song without going to come right up when he's trying to escape from Rosewood's office. Mm hmm. Yeah, he tries to steal the parking attendant's car. Like I like it's me a cop. And like he like flashes his badge and like I said, normally

[00:38:56] flashing that badge, you get whatever he wants. This time that lady was like, sir, I'm sorry. First of all, parking attendants, definitely, definitely a black job. Number one. But also that lady was not standing for it. She was like, no, shut it down.

[00:39:08] She ends up trying to mace him. She holds on to the car. Those people take their jobs way too seriously, like way too seriously. And I think he underestimated that when he tried to steal this commandeer, this car from her.

[00:39:19] This is why we thought this was the last one, because I think the directorial, you know, line here was that they wanted it to be like, hey, man, this is a different world, right? This is a world you don't need to be on these streets no more.

[00:39:33] And we see that all throughout the movie. So I mean, I guess we'll see what happens with the next one. You know, the actual effort tire. I don't know. This is one of my favorite parts in the movie where he steals

[00:39:44] the parking attendant's car and is driving, but then he's been maced and she keeps she's like hanging on. He's like, you don't need to use that much. She's right. The hell out of him. I'm telling you, they take their jobs too seriously. I don't know why.

[00:40:00] Like I think they're saving the world by doing this. If they get some type of stipend at the end of the year for a quarter, you got to meet. But she was hanging on for dear life.

[00:40:08] It led to a high speed chase, which, of course, we're always going to get in these movies. And then, of course, he gets arrested immediately in Beverly Hills. He's probably been there for like 20 minutes and already got arrested, which is typical.

[00:40:19] He's been arrested more times in Beverly Hills than he probably has in Detroit. Same as always. And the person who arrested him is his one of his daughters. He's got like 20 children. But one of the the women cops that arrested him is his daughter. Oh, Eddie Murphy's daughter.

[00:40:36] Eddie Murphy's daughter. Eddie Murphy's real. Yes. Yes. OK. Yeah. Does he gets brought to the police station? Oh, yeah. I was like, I don't know. He's the expert. I'm like, yeah, I said it must be true. So they bring him in and that we see Joseph Gordon Levitt.

[00:40:57] Well, what's he been up to? Aging. Don, don. I don't lose. Yeah. Yeah. He was in the Knives Out movie. Yeah, I was going to say, was he in Knives Out? That's the last time I saw him. Yeah. I mean, he's he's an elder statesman now.

[00:41:17] You know, he's got he's old. I remember when he was like the new young upstart actor and everybody was like, oh, what is what is Joseph Gordon Levitt going to do? And now it's like he's like a leading man.

[00:41:29] He's got Golden Globe nominations and all kinds of stuff. Now, like I was like, OK, he comes in. He has a little bit of a pedigree about himself. But in this movie, he is the new cop that Axel Foley has to deal with in the police department.

[00:41:41] And this always happens to there's always somebody in there who's like, hey, I don't know, really familiar with your work, but you're going outside the lines and we really need you to start acting a certain way.

[00:41:49] But we get some very heavy vibes early on that this guy, Bobby, I believe him and him and Jane got some chemistry. It's palpable throughout the movie. Yeah. They have a history. They've had intercourse. They've had intercourse. Have you had have you had intercourse with my daughter?

[00:42:08] Yeah. You can't just ask that. I mean, I guess you can, but you shouldn't. Well, Bobby, he gets familiar with Axel Foley's whole dossier. But Axel Foley wants to talk to Taggart, who's still here. He's still working. He's in charge.

[00:42:24] And some fun facts about that dossier is at the end of Beverly Hills Cop one, Captain Bogemill basically lies about what happens at the end of the event or whatever. And they ask him to file a police report with that exact same police report is in his dossier.

[00:42:41] And this is also when they make fun of his events in 1994 with Beverly Hills Cop three. But they're not his best work, not his best work. But he said, Trent, I want to say, Trent, don't be a bitch. Go get me. Yeah, go get me.

[00:42:56] And Taggart is thrilled to see Axel Foley. Yeah. Game that old punch in the stomach, right? Chappelle, it happens. I think I think that with Axel Foley here, I mean, Collins and Taggart is the right move. They've they've been together for two movies.

[00:43:13] Taggart wasn't in the third one, if I remember correctly. Yeah, I think he retired at that point, but he came out of retirement. Yeah. But according to John Ashton, I think he said, like, have you seen did you see the script? That's why he didn't come back.

[00:43:25] Oh, really, John Ashton, that's where you draw your line. OK, we'll talk about that. But yeah, he was back. I think you got to you got to pull in the big guns and say, all right. Like I know somebody high up who who knows Axel Foley intimately.

[00:43:39] And they've known, like I said, that he has worked his way into the good graces of Taggart for over three decades at this point. You know, the first movie, they were not on the same page at all. He was trying to get them to break the rules

[00:43:52] because that was the whole thing in Beverly Hills. The cops are by the book. They do everything by the number. None of this fancy Detroit, you know, renegade stuff you'd be doing this maverick activity. But now he's got Taggart on his side.

[00:44:05] And it's good because he is getting charged with reckless endangerment and like all kinds of other different crimes, because I mean, he showed up as a cop from Detroit, but he still broke the law. So he ends up in handcuffs.

[00:44:17] Yeah, well, he's going to call his daughter, his lawyer. But she keeps hanging up on him until he mentions about Billy Rosewood. She finally comes out to help him out of there. You can't keep Axel Foley in handcuffs for long, though. Chappelle. Tyrone, this is new.

[00:44:37] I've seen Axel Foley in handcuffs a bunch of times. I've never seen him pick it pick pick a handcuff lock. And he does it. He makes it seem like this is like an old parlor trick that he's done all the time.

[00:44:49] But I don't think in any of the prior movies have we ever seen this happen. It felt like it was new to me. I believe so. I do not recall. Please fact check me on that one.

[00:44:58] But I do not recall him getting out of handcuffs in any of the prior ones. So in the last 30 years, he's learned some new tricks basically. It's what has happened. Yeah, well, I mean, and I guess maybe he's never been in handcuffs

[00:45:10] in the prior in the movie, in the other movies, but he's definitely been arrested a few times. He has been in handcuffs. Yep. OK, because this one when he got pulled over for jaywalking, he was in handcuffs in that one. So yeah, I'm like, when did this happen?

[00:45:22] He's like, oh, yeah, you know, I you know, I have a past. I wasn't always a cop like that's a through line in all the movies. Like we know that Axel Foley used to be a bad boy before he was a cop.

[00:45:32] And so he's used to doing things like this that are just a little bit above or under the law, depending on how you look at it. And so he's able to pick his way out of these handcuffs. But again, this felt like a new trick to me.

[00:45:44] Like we just kind of slid this in here as one of the things that he's always been able to do. And I think for I think it just leans into what you just said, where he mentioned in the first ones, hey, I haven't always been a cop

[00:45:57] when he kind of like stole the car. So this is like another trick that's added to the list. Yeah, yeah. I think he's fractured the law. Yeah. And I think it is in here

[00:46:07] because then that his daughter is able to do it at the end of the movie and then shows that, you know, she was paying attention. So it was like, I think more of a device that served to show

[00:46:18] about the relationship they had more than a call back to something. But I did think it was something that he had done previously. No, he had not. And it's been 30 years since the last movie. He had plenty of time to learn this trick. Yeah. They invented YouTube.

[00:46:32] Yeah. Do you see all the things that they mentioned? All the things you've learned in the last 30 years? You know, I'm sure if you had spent the last 30 years learning how to break out of handcuffs, I'm sure you could. For sure.

[00:46:44] Let's bring in now that there we have Kevin Bacon is here. Kevin Bacon is friend. Yeah, red flag. You know, anytime you see Kevin Bacon, anytime you see Kevin Bacon show up at this point in the movie, he's the bad guy. He did it. He did it.

[00:46:59] Whatever y'all said he did. He did it. He's evil. I love Kevin Bacon as an actor. Love him so much. But every time you see him at this point in the movie, he's the bill. He did it. Whatever they said he did, he did it.

[00:47:09] There's no I was like in the movie right now. Kevin Bacon's here. Arrest that man. He did it. He's evil. Yeah. Yeah. He's he's in his villain era. And the way they introduce him, it was like, hey, it's just me

[00:47:18] and tagging in here. Oh, no, it's this other guy to what? Who is you? Yeah. Why are you in here? I got to be the bad guy. So I feel like that the Beverly Hills Cop villains like are typically like have a type, right?

[00:47:34] Yeah, they're in the police department. That's the type. They're in the FBI. They're in the police department. They're in some sort of cahoots. They have some sort of cover that they can lean into. The only one that wasn't involved in the police department

[00:47:51] is Victor Maitland from Beverly Hills Cop one. They're involved in some form of fashion in some sort of cover. So, yeah, they have a type. They got inside job. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. OK. Well, that the Kevin Bacon character, his name is Cade Grant,

[00:48:09] that he's like a like a really your daughter is representing a cop killer. I'm like, what's it like? What's that like? Really trying to drive a wedge there. Seems like it works like a tiny bit. I mean, it's already a wedge. There's already a wedge there.

[00:48:26] And then, you know, like her being a defense attorney is one thing. But defending cop killers, you know, for Axel Foley, he he's seen a lot of his cop buddies get killed. You know, like we've seen Billy get shot. He's seen the chief die.

[00:48:42] He's seen like he's seen these people. It's happened to them. And like I said, he moves on very quickly in the movies. But it has the hurt to know that your daughter is now defending some of the people that you know, that are that you have cared

[00:48:52] so much about in the past. And so she's like, wait a minute, you're defending the people who've killed them. You know what? How is this happening? So he already really wasn't keen on mending that relationship too much. And this definitely did not help.

[00:49:05] So we spend some time with Axel and Jane. They're talking about their relationship. Did you like the dynamic between Jane and Axel? Now, I was a little annoyed. You know, like we we know that the underlying theme is like,

[00:49:23] you need to make up, you know, whatever the problem is. I need to come to terms with it, talk it out, be a family, blah, blah, blah. So I kind of was kind of like, OK, let's get to that part.

[00:49:32] And I really wanted to hear where the like where the divide came in, you know, where the wedge started, because we know he's not present in her life. But, you know, why? Why wasn't he present in her life?

[00:49:43] We've never been given any information to believe that Axel Foley didn't want a family in the past or that, you know, wasn't interested in having a daughter. But she's she's giving him the cold shoulder so much to where you don't really learn

[00:49:53] anything every time he tries to make a move. She kind of shuts him down. And there's a few times where he makes a joke here and there, where she'll kind of crack a smile and you can see he's just chipping away at her.

[00:50:03] But for the most part, I was kind of like, hey, can we, you know, figure it out, talk it out, y'all to get out. Let's let's get this show on the road because we got to go say, Billy, I think.

[00:50:12] I think for a minute in the film, I was really concerned with, OK, Billy Rosewood is in danger. This is important to me. You know, he's like one of my favorite characters. We got to go save him. Let's get it together. They really stop paying attention to it.

[00:50:22] For a long time. Don't mention him for 20 minutes in the movie. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, when we see him like I like he was just like tied up for days on end. Yeah. He's getting tortured.

[00:50:38] But he tells he tells his daughter who, you know, they keep saying that they're very similar, but she's driving a red convertible like they're basically the same person. And so because I think, yeah, he had a Ferrari in Detroit.

[00:50:51] He's letting his homie drive while he was away in the second or third movie. And so like this is they're the same family. And so there's a lot of similarities between the two of them.

[00:51:01] But we do learn that he moved her out of Detroit to hide from the 12th Street mafia, some gang or something like that. And then, you know, when him and his wife didn't work out, he came on home.

[00:51:11] You know, he got his family out the way and then he came home. And so that seems to be where the divide started. What was he doing in Beverly Hills when he moved there? That he was he was. Doesn't sound like it was that long. Early having sex.

[00:51:23] Mm hmm. Yeah. Just enough time to leave his daughter behind. Just enough time. Because it doesn't sound like he was part of the Beverly Hills Police Force. No, no. And not that they would ever hire that man.

[00:51:39] He's done so much destruction in Beverly Hills that I don't think they would. Also, do we ever get any inclination as to where the mom is? Where is wife? Oh, that's the first movie. Nothing. No inclination at all about who the mom is, where she is.

[00:51:54] All we know is she was crazy. That's that's what he said. So I don't you know. Number five facts or facts. OK, number five to the number five. OK, so they need to find the car that was used in the Copeland's car.

[00:52:12] They go to this police impound yard and they end up meeting this guy who is an aspiring actor. He was in a movie called Jupiter Ascending. Chappelle, the Jupiter Ascending sound interesting to you? Well, it sounded like it's about Jupiter.

[00:52:30] Right. And there's probably a big part of the movie where it ascends. And I was really interested in that part specifically. But aside from that, it really I don't know. They left a lot to the imagination. I check it out.

[00:52:43] If it was on Netflix, I'd check it out for for this podcast. Yeah, but that was the best part was Jupiter Ascending. That was the best part of it. Chappelle, I mean, if you saw that part, then you've seen the whole movie. I don't know. Yeah.

[00:52:54] That's all you needed. So many YouTube clips. So they get that guy to bring them into the impound yard. They find that here was Copeland's car and there was a camera in it. And the camera is missing an SD card.

[00:53:08] And so that they are going to need to track down this SD card. And there are some bad guys from Billy Copeland's office who are following them. They're able to figure out that they have a tracker on them

[00:53:24] and they put the tracker on a bus so they could escape. Yeah, but then they got caught up. And here's kind of like the thing that happens where, you know, you say, OK, cool, your antics and your trickery isn't working as well. But how about your action?

[00:53:43] Is that is that working well? And we find out, no, it's not. He needs help in a big way. And that's where, you know, the dynamic between him and Jane, the boyfriend. Oh, Bobby, Bobby, Bobby, Bobby, right? Bobby was rough, just like him and Taggers relationship.

[00:54:06] But because of their protection of each other, eventually, that's where kind of the relationship kind of grew. And so we saw an opportunity for this to happen coming up. Yeah. But when you say his trickery doesn't work, I mean, it literally Jane

[00:54:19] has to step in now and do some of the impersonating and stuff that he's used to doing because he tries to be the fire chief to get into this area and get to go to the social club. And he's not getting upstairs to go

[00:54:33] to the top floor where everybody is. But luckily, Jane is able to impersonate a person from the mayor's office. She's just like she's like Axel Foley, but a little bit sharper, you know, like where she's she's a lot quicker on her feet with it

[00:54:48] because she's not doing the same shtick from 30, 40 years ago. You know, like she's got some new fresh tricks that she's pulling out. And so that's what gets them up to the social club to go and meet with Kevin Bacon

[00:54:59] and to basically go confirm that he not only did he did whatever they're accusing him of doing, but he doesn't care because he's so powerful that they can't really stop him. You know, like he's not exactly hiding it. He's wearing very expensive shoes and clothes like hide.

[00:55:14] Right. Yeah. He has henchmen like this man have hit. If someone has henchmen, then they are evil. You know, I'm saying like you don't you don't need to know what they did. Just know they did something because why do you need henchmen?

[00:55:24] Otherwise, how often do you need someone to hint for you? It probably doesn't come up often unless you're doing evil, evil things. So, yeah, the bacon, like I said, you did it. We're just going to count down until they catch you.

[00:55:35] Yeah. Henchmen won't even come to like some like charitable thing you're doing, like, you know, they won't even help you move. No, no. But this this henchman, they will do evil stuff. Evil things. They sign me up.

[00:55:49] Mike Ermentrout was in the social club in Beverly Hills Cop one. So I like a thing for his cop. These henchmen in Beverly Hills, they on a different level. Like Detroit, he don't go to the to that's where like the

[00:56:01] the top henchmen from like all over the country, all like they get on a bus. They go out to Beverly Hills to get involved in the most evil schemes. Yeah, they got a club. It's like a fraternity. They go there.

[00:56:17] They might even do some like, you know, donations and such. There's a kind of exercise is, yes, balls. You know, it's a whole hench convention. Exactly. At some point. All reason to do the donations is for tax evasion. That's all. Yeah. Very evil.

[00:56:31] The whole thing. The whole enterprise. So Jane and Axel like have like a real, you know, moment in the movie where it's sort of like the maybe the absolute bottom of their relationship when Axel's trying to say, like, well, look, that it was both our fault.

[00:56:52] We were you know, you did things I did things like let's just agree like we're both wrong. And she stops him in his tracks as the parent is always the parent. The child is always the child. Suck on that, Axel. Yeah, that's tough.

[00:57:08] I mean, she she ate them up. She did because, you know, I don't think that's always necessarily the case. I just I don't I don't think they like at all times. It's the parents job to make sure that a relationship between them

[00:57:20] and their child doesn't doesn't work out. Like I said, obviously, some some children just have bad vibes and that's OK. And you don't have to talk to those kids if you don't want to. I mean, results may vary.

[00:57:31] But I'm just saying, like if the kid sucks, hey, just saying. But I think here this is where she really is. And like, no, you can't you can't try not to take responsibility for what you did by saying we both made some mistakes when in reality

[00:57:44] you left me hanging. Now, of course, I don't want to talk to you because of that. But we cannot start with the root of the issue is that you left us hanging. You really ditched me and my mom and left us here. And we haven't heard from you.

[00:57:54] And so, of course, I just I wanted to talk to you. But he's not ready to apologize because from his point of view, he's like, I didn't do nothing wrong. She stopped talking to me. It's like, yeah, but still, you know, you kind of got to

[00:58:04] you kind of have to bury the hatchet at some point. And you changed your last name shortly like Degg. Yeah, it's on this. It don't even go. Yeah. Yeah. I wish I could last a little bit too long.

[00:58:18] I thought he was going to be like S.A.U.N. Durst, you know, but yeah, I'm just well, it was the only joke that made her laugh. She kind of liked that one a little bit. She started loosening up at this point.

[00:58:29] Axel Foley needs to go spend the night in the hotel. I thought this was a fun callback to the original hotel that he stays at. But he says he doesn't even try to scam them. He attempted to. And he just said, Oh, he tired. I'm tired.

[00:58:46] It was a long day. Long day. It really was. And also, if you really think about it, he the scam he did in Beverly Hills the first time he still paid like full price for the hotel. But basically now the hotel is just like, I don't know,

[00:59:02] 10 times more expensive than it was back then. It was like nine hundred forty dollars a night or something like that. The first movie, I think it might have been like one hundred. I think it was like two something.

[00:59:12] They didn't have a room for him, though, that he like. I don't know why he picked that hotel to stay at. And they didn't have like any availability. And then he like, you know, said that he was in town to interview Michael Jackson.

[00:59:26] And then they suddenly found the room. But they did get the police department to pay for it in the end. Yeah, they got they got the police department to pay for it. And they got some free robes as well. I think the police department paid for that, too.

[00:59:40] But but this time it was like there was no point. There were vacancies at this hotel. I mean, unless you go get a discount, which you really probably should have fought a lot harder for that discount when you found out there was nine hundred dollars to stay here.

[00:59:50] And I would have gone anywhere else, anywhere else. You cannot tell me that's not a one night to. Yeah, exactly. He could have been he could have done a blind hotel deal. Damn it. Right. You could have did the Apple line because usually on the Apple line

[01:00:04] is cheaper. And we could have found a four membership or something like the. Membership. Yeah, this was tough. There got to be a super eight or a whole Joe in that town or something. I know Howard Johnson around the corner. You can stay at the lesson.

[01:00:17] Nine hundred forty dollars. Well, he was mad at Kevin Bacon for wearing Gucci shoes. So you're staying at nine hundred forty dollar a night hotel. You spend that much time in the hotel. But if I spend nine hundred dollars, I'm living there. It is the entire.

[01:00:32] Yeah. For twenty four hours. That is my headquarters. I'm not I'm not leaving the room. Nine hundred dollars. The the the the pictures with the red string and all of that. Yeah, all of that. This is where this is headquartered.

[01:00:45] This is this is where the lair, you know, like everybody got to come to the hotel. I'm not taking any outside callers. Thank you. All right. Well, Axel Foley is going to show up at Jane's work the next day wearing a new suit.

[01:00:58] Let me talk to this kid. And so she ends up, you know, being at least a little bit charmed by him. Going to let him go and talk to the person. They're going to go out to go.

[01:01:13] I don't know. Do they ever get there or they get like this is when they come after them with the machine guns? The machine guns. Is this it? This is when they when this when they come after them with the guns. Yeah. Yeah. When they get attacked.

[01:01:28] This is when right after he's suspended, Bobby is suspended. And so he's kind of following behind him because he's like, this is the only option that we have. And so we've got an attack, an ambush that is happening in the middle of the street. Yeah.

[01:01:46] Yeah. Is it isn't it with the drug cartel? You know, the one yeah, the one thing you always don't get in these movies is that they always going to have a shootout, a shootout, car chase. It's going to happen.

[01:01:56] But they when I say shootout, I mean, they use guns, guns in the Beverly Hills. You know, like I think in the third movie, they actually had to like stop down and be like, wait, they got machine guns now.

[01:02:05] Like we we up to machine guns because now we're like fully automatic assault rifles and stuff like that. Like they are. They're not playing no games. The cartel means business. And we had to see basically him just dodging a bunch of bullets.

[01:02:20] That's that's very much one of his his skills as Axel Foley, too. He doesn't get shot often. He does get shot. But for the most part, you know, for the percentage of bullets that are whizzing past him, he does pretty good for himself.

[01:02:31] Yeah. I mean, this is like a major shootout that happens like in the streets of Beverly Hills. Like I kind of feel like that this is like major national news at this point. Yeah, yeah. I mean, like, yeah,

[01:02:46] they even got the lady with the dog on the news that, hey, the dog saved the day. Right. I don't I don't know why these thugs are in the middle of Beverly Hills right now. It's like a massacre. Yeah, but crazy.

[01:02:59] Yeah. Isn't that they don't really stop down too much on that. So Bobby ends up being the person who's in the most trouble about this that they realize that they need to spy on what Kevin Bacon is doing. And he's got this big mansion in Beverly Hills.

[01:03:19] If they could just get next door, they could spy on what's going on and they need a realtor to help them. And here comes Serge's back. Bronson Pinchot. Bronson, that's another name you don't hear often these days in television. What was the last time you saw Bronson Pinchot?

[01:03:39] I don't know. No. So, you know, every time I think about him, I think about his life. I think he had a brief stint on the Surreal Life or some reality show in the like two in the early 2000s.

[01:03:51] I actually think he had a couple of shows on the VH1 reality kind of scene. But I was shocked to see that they still brought Serge back. Serge is becoming another beloved character in the franchise.

[01:04:03] I think in the first movie, he was just kind of like a throwaway character. But to keep revisiting him with Bronson Pinchot, I think that's a good move from the movie. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And you know, in the first one, that whole scene around

[01:04:16] get the fuck out of here. Like, obviously, they needed it coming up. But that was an improv scene as well, where you could try a little limit with a twist. Right. All of that is improv.

[01:04:26] And so bringing him back for number three and then eventually for this one, like his character is completely beloved in the series, in the franchise. Yeah. I wonder, could they do more with Serge in Beverly Hills Cop 5?

[01:04:39] I mean, they better hurry up and do it quickly, because again, I don't know how old they want people to be doing it. Bronson Pinchot is already 65. Like if they wait another 30 years. He looks good, too. Bronson Pinchot. He does.

[01:04:51] But you can't wait another 30 years to bop one of these movies. You know what I'm saying? Like you kind of have to get in front of this now while everybody's still young. You know, we ain't getting any younger. Yeah. I thought he came in.

[01:05:00] I thought he brought in a lot of energy. I thought this was like like in the middle of the movie. Like I thought it was, you know, a nice cameo to have him back. For sure. Mm hmm. Yeah.

[01:05:12] Yeah. He's a lot more helpful than he was in the first movie. Like by the first movie, he was just like a throwaway character. By the third movie, I think he was like a like a like a secret weapons guy. Like he had like, oh, yeah, I got.

[01:05:21] Yeah, he's got like a utility kit for people and like he's got spy tools. And now this one, he has access to the mansion that's next door to Kevin Bacon's mansion. So he's like, OK, I can get you in with the realtor. And then you know that.

[01:05:36] Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, we probably have a backstory. That's if anything, we need the the Surge prequel. You know, we need to know that. Yeah. Surge, he's like posting art, art, art stores to selling guns and I material, like you mentioned, to now having access to realtor.

[01:05:53] It's like he's a hustler. He's out there. Yeah. Yeah. Give us the prequel to that. Maybe that's the fifth movie. You know, it's the prequel. We get young Axel F, young Surge. You know what I'm saying?

[01:06:04] Like they don't really know each other, but we got to see how they move in prior to the events of Beverly Hills Cop one. Interesting. Between the events of Beverly Hills Cop two. That they can do it that way. All right.

[01:06:15] So they go to the house and they're pretending to be interested. And Jane and Bobby have to act like a husband and wife. And, you know, Chappelle, I feel like this happened on suits. Like I feel like any time these couples are like pretending like, oh, we're

[01:06:31] interested in this home and like they end up like really falling for each other. Yeah. And each time I'm telling the woman to stand up, I was like, girl, this is your fault. You know, like the same thing that she's she's mad at.

[01:06:43] She's mad at her dad for leaving her, which makes total sense. But she's throwing herself at Bobby. She even makes it like she makes out with him at some point because you're like, oh, yeah, we're married. We're married, honey. Oh, yeah. We're having a baby.

[01:06:57] Like all this other stuff. And like she's really leaning into it. And Bobby kind of looks confused because he's like, girl, you don't me. You don't tell him because you you don't want to date a cop yet. Here you are 10 steps away from each other.

[01:07:08] You can't keep your hands off of them. Which one is it, lady? Stand up. She got trauma, Chappelle. She got trauma. That's what it is. I play on Bobby top like that. You know, you don't take her and play with her for the last 30 years.

[01:07:21] However long she been. I don't know. Her people hurt people, but she was just buzzing her dad about going to therapy and she might need to go to. How do you at least look at some stuff online? Yeah. Yeah.

[01:07:33] Or read something online because sometimes you just talk about going to therapy. You don't actually go check out our podcast about council culture. We kept. All right. Well, we see that Axel Foley is going to sneak off and do some spying, but Kevin Bacon

[01:07:53] is going to be able to suss this out. By the way, the realtor here is Nassim Padrad from formerly of SNL, and she's very funny. Yeah, she's the best. Like I was dying at her the entire time. She also hates children.

[01:08:13] I like again, she I think she was talking. She was giving them a tour of the mansion with the big spiral staircase and the bitchy columns. I said, oh yeah, we need to get more Nassim Padrad on things.

[01:08:24] Again, I just kept realizing, like, I don't really get to see some of my faves like I used to. I have to go track her down and find out what she's up to because she was very fun in this. Mm hmm. Yeah.

[01:08:34] She's the thing about her kid being a loser because his glasses was hilarious. So he has the glasses already. I mean, you can already see it coming. Mm hmm. Yeah. All right. So that they're going to get busted and Kevin Bacon is going to get the call.

[01:08:51] And so he knows that they're onto them. Yeah, they go see Chileno. Yeah. All right. Luis Guzman is here. Yeah. And I. Yes. And he's not too poorly for TV, obviously, or at least not for Netflix. But Luis Guzman is always fun to see.

[01:09:11] He is the head of the cartel and he also is doing karaoke. What song was he? Man eater. Man eater. Yeah. So perfect. I was shocked. I didn't know Luis Guzman was going to be in this one. Yeah. So getting to the end,

[01:09:26] which between Spanish and English at the same time to sing that thing. Now, when they were outside this place, I was like, OK, this is like a strip club and OK, we're going back to our Beverly Hills

[01:09:37] cop roots of OK, they got to Axel Follies got to go. He knows where the strip clubs are. But what was this place? It was like Luis Guzman is just like on the stage, like singing karaoke. And I think it's just a bar.

[01:09:53] I think it's just the karaoke bar. Just yeah. Yeah, it is. And maybe he's the only one that can sing. Maybe it's his place. He's the only one that can sing. Can't nobody else saying the rest of the people is just henchmen.

[01:10:05] Yeah, I mean, I'm sure they would like to sing, but again, he's in charge. So it's like if he wants to be the only one up there doing his hits, then I guess you kind of got to let Luis Guzman cook.

[01:10:13] You can't you can't assert yourself into the playlist. Yeah, this is just a random club. I really thought they were going to go back to the strip club, though, because that iconic moment in the first movie, or at least at the ending,

[01:10:25] they go to like a yeah, they're going to like a steakhouse now. Yeah, they got old. Or maybe maybe Netflix put the cuffs on him a little bit. I was like, hey, we don't we don't really want to show that right now.

[01:10:36] So it's like what we're going to do for this. Maybe it's Chileno's spot. It's like a fetish thing because the girl did slap one of the henchmen like that was there and you know, maybe he likes it. I don't know.

[01:10:45] Maybe that's their little small little entryway into a strip club nature. Yeah. All right. So they find out from Chileno what's going on and Julino saying that like, OK, Grant is a dirty cop. He's working with the cartel. And so he gives them a bunch of info.

[01:11:06] And Julino wants to get his nephew, Sam, off these charges. So he hooks them up, but he warns them like, don't mess with me. Yeah, so Sam is Sam needs to figure out like they basically got to figure out why why Copeland is dead.

[01:11:23] Copeland's dead because he was going to go clean. He was going to go clean. And Kay obviously didn't want that to happen. We knew Copeland was talking to Billy. And so, you know, that's how Chileno's nephew got on the hook.

[01:11:35] And so, you know, Axel is doing a really good job with Julino. He does not like Bobby, but he is telling them, like, hey, you know, you can get through this. But, you know, this is about the cartel. This is about drugs, about money. It's about guns.

[01:11:49] This is a big, huge thing. And I even realized that this could have been a whole setup. You know, I think I end up seeing that Cade is behind getting getting them all, you know, I guess, captured.

[01:12:00] What is it? They end up getting tased at one point when they find drugs in Bobby's car. Yeah. Well, they come out of there and then the police come up and then Grant just opens up Bobby's car. And it's like, oh, look at this.

[01:12:14] Look at this cocaine right there. Right there. Yeah. All right. We got him. Yeah. Lock him up. We got him, Joe. Yeah, we got him. Two people that didn't know each other two days ago are dealing cocaine together.

[01:12:26] Like, how did you know it was going to be right there? In the first place he looked. That police work, you know? Yeah. And then we kind of realize what is going on, like what's driving K Grant's whole like operation here

[01:12:41] because him and Axel talk and they're talking about how, you know, in the line of duty, Axel's been shot. Cade's been shot. But when Cade got shot, all he got was like a ribbon. He didn't really get, you know, anything special.

[01:12:55] He shows where he broke his fibula and how he starts talking about how expensive it is to live in Beverly Hills. He's like, bro, I can't I can barely even pay my bills here in under normal circumstances because it's so expensive. I keep getting shot at.

[01:13:10] I'm sacrificing my life here for the city and I'm barely getting compensated. So of course I turn to the drug game and that's a tale as old as time. You know, you can't you can't live. So you go and trap.

[01:13:21] And so it just trapping on a bigger level. You know, the cartel is it's probably not. I wouldn't recommend it. You know, I don't think I would recommend that for anybody. But I mean, you know, when he outlines this as his big reason, I'm like, yeah, well,

[01:13:36] you know, it's not really affordable to live here, Cade. I don't know. You're not special. We're all we all broke out here. I'm sorry. You take off your shoes, sir. You know, it's one thing to I guess he felt like it's not about

[01:13:48] living. He wants to thrive, you know, like he's like he's doing the Lord's work here. He should be getting compensated for it as such. And so now he's going to take matters into his own hand and make his money dealing with the cartel. Mm hmm. Yeah.

[01:14:01] But he don't realize that Eddie Axel has a misspent youth and he knows how to get out of handcuffs. And so there you go. Like, so, yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, he gets out of the handcuffs after we see that, you know, Grant is like monologuing for a bit.

[01:14:19] And then he like opens up the vent to the ceiling. And then when Grant comes in, he looks up and then Axel Foley was what? Under the desk? No, he jumped out of the. I this is a terrorist rule. He jumped out of the vent.

[01:14:37] He was in the vent and then he jumped down and like smacked him over the head like Batman. I see. But then he said, you watch too many movies. I thought that maybe he wasn't in the vent and he thought they get it.

[01:14:50] That I thought he came out of the vent. I thought it was one of those where he looked up in the vent and he's oh shoot. And he like gotcha. You know, he came and got him because I think we don't watch that again. Yeah. He's a replay.

[01:15:01] He thought that Kay was going to like climb up in the vent looking for him or something like that. Like, oh, obviously this man has now traveled through the ventilation system to get out of the jail because that's what you would normally see in movie and TV.

[01:15:12] But now he's kind of like, no, I just hid long enough to just trap you and handcuff you to the table. Nope. Didn't jump out. Didn't jump out. No. Oh, where'd he come from? He came from a secret compartment interrogation.

[01:15:26] Yeah, I think he was like just behind under his behind the table or something. Yeah. So Chris had Kevin Baker's head was up in the vent. He came down and then Axel was there pulling the chair from under him. I don't I don't know where you went.

[01:15:40] He's magic. Mm hmm. Yeah. Axel. OK, so that's another thing you learned in the last 30 years. It's another trick. He he gets out, Bobby, and then they get up to the roof and they need to escape. And turns out that Bobby, that he was formerly in the military,

[01:15:55] I think the Air Force. And so he can fly. We need you to fly this helicopter. We need to go. You can do it. Axel tells him. And Bobby is very nervous. It's been a long time since he's flown a helicopter. It's been a very long time.

[01:16:10] And the last time he flew a helicopter, he actually crashed one. And that's what charged caused him to quit his job and tend to become a cop that he is now. He's no longer a helicopter pilot and he's got a little PTSD from the last crash.

[01:16:22] So it's not only that he is. First of all, I imagine flying a helicopter is not like riding a bike. Like I imagine after 30 years, I still probably. Yeah, I imagine that he's wrong. It's been a long time. Yeah. Yeah. I imagine that he is incorrect

[01:16:37] and that it is not normal to get back on a helicopter, because again, helicopter technology has probably changed. But the bigger problem here is that Bobby has PTSD. Like he is not over the last crash. And so because of that, he can't even focus. They're getting shot at.

[01:16:52] And he has a fly a helicopter through a city. And Axel Foley is yelling and also pulling a gun on him. He's like, you're going to shoot this. You're going to drive this plane or I'm going to shoot you.

[01:17:01] And so then I'm going to do my best because I'm not dying in a helicopter crash. I'm not dying in a helicopter crash. So under the rest, yeah, Bobby's not Bobby's not a lot of help at all. They actually do crash the helicopter.

[01:17:13] Did you know that to solve PTSD, all you got to do is slap the person a couple of times? Oh, you got to do it. Did not work. They crashed the helicopter. Yeah, I thought this was one of the best parts of the movie.

[01:17:27] I thought this was such a fun chase scene that they're flying the helicopter solo. Axel Foley is threatening. He's going to shoot Bobby himself. He takes his gun out. He's going to shoot him for I'm going to shoot you and then I'm going to shoot me.

[01:17:44] Yeah, I can't die in a helicopter crash. They're actually kind of I agree. You know, there's certain ways you can't go out. You Axel Foley, you died in a helicopter crash. Yeah, yeah. And then so then they end up crashing onto a golf course.

[01:17:58] And then this was wild. Yes. Rob. Yes. This is a shooting. Is here. Rob, they did this just for you. Yeah, I was so happy. First, this is Rob's first Beverly Hills copy. We got to give a shoot. Give me a shooter McGavin reference.

[01:18:16] And I think that that's also I think that a helicopter crashing on the golf course, I think, is like what is the final hole on Happy Gilmore? Where the helicopter ends up making like the TV tower fall

[01:18:31] and then Happy Gilmore has to play through play it where it lies. Yeah. So this was incredible. Then we got to have it. Did Adam Sandler know we have the right to shoot him again? And I don't know how we're going to get sued for this.

[01:18:48] Not we, Jerry. I'm not. Yeah. So I can't just go be another stuff that's not normal. Does Beverly Hills cop take place in the same universe as Happy Gilmore? I mean, I'm forced to believe it. Does Beverly Hills? I don't think I don't think so.

[01:19:07] No, but that was they were traveling anyway for, you know, you shoot, you shoot different golf courses. So maybe she would just happen to be in town. Now it's still obviously the same universe. But I don't know. Shooter was still shooting like that. Man, look at him.

[01:19:19] I guess your name is Shooter. And Shooter's going to shoot every time. Yeah, this is incredible. Yeah. All right. So then they have to leave the golf course and Axel Holy needs a car and he goes to the valet.

[01:19:34] Can you can you help me with a car like Beverly Hills? Beverly Hills got one. It was what Damon Wayans at the Banana Man. Yeah, Beverly Hills. Not to was Chris Rockett, the valet person. They didn't have one in Beverly Hills, cop three that I can recall.

[01:19:49] But then we got a rocket as the valet person in this one. Yeah. Yeah. And no trickery. Like I'm your brother. Yeah. Avery on crack is like, no, don't try to brother me, man. And they got to go back for you, my brother. I'm your brother.

[01:20:01] Keep calling each other brother. And then everything seems like it's good. But if you're on crack, he's not about to lose his black job because of this. You know, he's not going to have it. And so he tells he's like, no, I'm not helping you.

[01:20:11] And then he code switches into a British accent, which I don't even know if that's called a code switch. I really think that at that point you put it on a fake accent. Like it sounds like the code switch might have been him calling Eddie Murphy brother.

[01:20:23] That's right. That is a phenomenal code switch like I've called before. Not like that. Yeah. A different level of code. You don't get to just go be British, you know, dance Idris. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So the key here is Bobby has turned the tide.

[01:20:40] He's not straight. He's not buttoned up anymore. He's stealing keys now. Yeah. Yeah. So they steal a car and they get away. Jane goes to see we haven't seen Jane in a minute in the movie. They go see she goes to see Taggart.

[01:20:55] And when she comes out, she gets kidnapped. So now we got now another hostage here for Kevin Bacon. Yeah, they end up going to the docks. I mean, Jane and Taggart's conversation was definitely just like, hey, you need to make up with your dad.

[01:21:09] Like that's the whole that's the whole point of her trying to talk to him. But, you know, she gets held hostage. They have to go to the docks because they have to find Billy Billy's car. And I was starting to miss Billy at this point.

[01:21:21] I was like, oh, it's been a long time. I was like, is he dead? Did you know, I believe. But no, he's still there and he's being held hostage. And so they end up coming in and just releasing him.

[01:21:30] Yeah. And then Billy pretty good for being, you know, captured the whole movie. Yeah. I mean, Billy was down bad. But Rob, the thing about Billy is that Billy loves his guns. He loves his guns. That starts in about Beverly Hills Cop, maybe like two.

[01:21:44] And then by three, he's like full on Rambo. Now, there's still a little. Yeah. Although he's although he's down bad, you give him a gun and it's like he's like Thor with his hammer. You know, he kind of comes alive a little bit. So Billy's back, baby.

[01:22:00] Yeah. And this was a this is a call back to the to Beverly Hills Cop one because Eddie Murphy was in the warehouse. Axel Foley was in the warehouse kidnapped by Victor Maitland. Billy came to save him this time. Axel Foley saves Billy Rosewood.

[01:22:13] And then, of course, they head to the mansion. Yeah. OK, so we end up tracking the call. We get Paul Reiser back one more time to track the phone that Grant has and find out where Jane is.

[01:22:26] And so the back in the mansion, they end up stealing like this. What? Tractor trailer filled with like precious statues. Yeah. Long statues. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's what it was. Yeah. OK. Yeah. And cocaine. Yeah. And cocaine. Yes, it's always cocaine. Yeah.

[01:22:51] And so they end up trying to like we're going to drive to this mansion. They end up trying to like side swipe a bunch of cop cars to get the police to be following them for backup. But the police all end up just like crashing into each other.

[01:23:08] Yeah, it wasn't great. Wasn't great. You know, they didn't call for backup. Yeah, they didn't call for backup because, you know, obviously they don't really work for the cops right now. Billy Bobby is suspended and Axel Foley has been told to go back to Detroit

[01:23:20] at least five times by this point in the movie. But this is when we're at the most Beverly Hills cop of the movie. You know, this is when it gets to like it is completely the back and back in the swing of things.

[01:23:32] We get the original Beverly Hills cop theme is finally playing at full blast because throughout they've been kind of like sprinkling in the motif. But now they're completely in on the dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, like the whole time.

[01:23:44] And so we get all the action, the mansion fight. Like it was back to what we know and love from the original trilogy and a new version played by Little Nas X. Yeah. Yeah, that too. You got to. I mean, the movie is called Axel F.,

[01:23:58] which is like the name of that track. The theme song is called Axel F. So, yeah, that's an interesting name for the fourth movie. Yeah. No, in the fifth movie is going to be called Lil Axel F., you know, the prequel. Yeah. Jane F. Yeah.

[01:24:24] All right. Three and a half. So they end up crashing the truck through the front of the house. I mean, a lot of a lot of big stunts and big action things happening like you would expect in Beverly Hills Cop.

[01:24:37] I don't know how they survived this shootout, though. Oh, it's a dumb move. It was a dumb move, Rob. This is a terrible move. Like glasses. It's not bulletproof truck. This is a regular degular truck that they just drove in. The columns are collapsing.

[01:24:51] The house isn't collapsing at the same time. It's it's a wild turn of events. I honestly don't know how they got out the doors. I don't know. And like there's like like five guys with like machine guns. Like, uh, I don't know. Taggart showed up.

[01:25:05] He showed up with his big gun, you know, he's like, all right, I'm in. And so between what you got, Taggart, you got Billy, you got Bobby and you got Axel and Jane. That's basically like that's the crew that yeah, you know, that's a suicide squad right there.

[01:25:19] They're ready to take apart all these people. And so somehow they managed to survive the shootout. I think a few of them, they don't get shot either. I don't there wasn't a lot of them that got shot. Right. Or was this the one where everybody got shot?

[01:25:30] Who the bad guys? No, no. The main cast. Oh, Axel got shot in the third movie. I think at least four of the main characters got shot. So this one this one was very different. Oh, Billy got shot in the last one, you know.

[01:25:44] But yeah, this time now they're bulletproof. They did a good job. So meanwhile, upstairs, Jane is able to escape out of the handcuffs and she breaks love vase over a guy's head. But when Axel gets up there, he is going to end up

[01:26:01] having a face off a confrontation with Kevin Bacon. And we see that one of the henchmen gets around the corner and ends up, I guess, was maybe going for Jane. But Axel jumps in the way and he takes a bullet before

[01:26:19] Bobby is able to take down Kevin Bacon. Yeah, R.I.P. Kevin Bacon again, we knew this was coming. The moment I seen him, I was like, you did it. You did it, Sebastian Shaw. Every time. And I don't know. Kevin Bacon's just in his villain era.

[01:26:33] I can't think of the last time he was a good guy. But not before Invisible Man, I think. I think Invisible Man. Wow. Was it? No, that's Hollow Man, isn't that? Hollow Man. Yeah. Yeah. God. I think he's yeah, I think he's been typecast at this point.

[01:26:50] Maybe a few good men. Right. Like you're a lousy baseball player, a lousy pitcher or whatever. You know, I think that was the last time he was a good guy. And if he was a good guy, he was basically defending Jack Nippleson, who was,

[01:27:01] you know, not to spoil it, but he was a bad guy. So Kevin Bacon's always evil. Just assume he's evil. Kill him. Yeah. Bacon's bad for you. I always remember. Yeah, well, everything is bad if you're not going to moderate. You know, some bacon is good.

[01:27:16] They got beef bacon. Oh, it's not the same. Beef bacon is great. Yeah, that's not bacon. Ty, does Axel get shot in the same location that he got shot in the first movie? And and number three. Oh, he always gets shot in the shoulder.

[01:27:33] Yeah, the wound never even closed. The bullet just goes back into his life's little spot right into that little same, same little area. Yeah, he's been shot a lot of times. But he's OK. But he's fine somehow. Yeah. Get us get a shot at 62 is not recommended.

[01:27:51] I definitely think that maybe in the in the fifth movie, they don't shoot him because it might be the last time. All right. Which was a great part of that. Real quick, a great part of that gun scene is in Beverly Hills.

[01:28:02] Cop one, he's running away and then he shoots back blindly across the wall. But nobody's there to shoot this time. He actually shoots the henchmen. So I thought that was great call back to the first one, too.

[01:28:12] Yeah. And then also Billy gets to do his drop your weapons. Finally gets to work. Yeah. We love Billy. Good to see Billy back. Yeah. And so Axel goes to the hospital.

[01:28:26] They don't even try to like play it for a second that he's not going to make it that he is having a real issue with the hospital food. It's Fritters. Yeah, just Fritters. Yes, it is not really any type or it doesn't really say what kind of Fritters

[01:28:42] it's enough to make him leave the hospital. Yeah. If he can escape out of handcuffs, he can escape out of hospital in a full hospital gown. I don't think he even changed clothes. He just walked out and went to the diner next door.

[01:28:51] Goes to Norm's that has he been to Norm's before in Beverly Hills? I don't think I have. This is a callback. I think I missed this one. OK, yeah, I missed this good product placement for norms in like it's like a diner chain in L.A.

[01:29:08] and that he goes over there and then Jane finds him. Everybody seems like very good. He seems fine. Everybody seems like are they concerned about his cholesterol now at this point? Like it seems like everybody's very concerned about his diet. He was asking for sugar earlier.

[01:29:24] He got diabetes. He got he got high blood pressure, all that stuff. Yeah, it's not he's 65. Yeah. Yeah. You just didn't begin. You shouldn't be getting shot at this age. And you definitely should be like watching your, you know, your diet

[01:29:36] and exercising and stuff and going to the hospital. They're going to try to keep him for a little bit longer. He's got to stay at least a week. Mm hmm. Yeah. If you want to know how to solve daddy daughter issues,

[01:29:45] just jump in front of a bullet for. Yeah. But I do it. Yeah, you were right that that was, you know, the parent is the parent getting shot helped with this relationship, so that was good. Yeah, and they're able to kind of form a relationship,

[01:30:02] she's able to admit that, you know, like, hey, she was also, you know, he he started the the you know, the divide by leaving them and you know, and she did not help by saying, OK, well, I want to talk to you.

[01:30:12] No way. But now they've kind of met. And they can see eye to eye on like, you know, their differences. And it looks like we've gotten the family back together. You know, like they're going to be good friends or at least have a working relationship moving forward.

[01:30:26] And then the movie seemingly ends with them going back to the hospital. And at first I was like, you can't end a bit like this. It has to end with Eddie Murphy's face in a freeze frame. Like you have to.

[01:30:39] And so then I was very pleased to see that they came back with an additional scene. Yeah. So Billy and Taggart are outside watching. Are they watching the room to make sure that bad guys don't get in or that no? Axel, they're watching him.

[01:30:52] Yeah, they're on Axel watch. Can they go upstairs for that? They don't want him to know that they're watching him, I guess. Yeah. Which I mean, after this point, it's been 40 years. Just tell him, hey, you know, you all know the game.

[01:31:05] You know, we're supposed to be watching. Can we sit in here and watch you? Well, they're not doing a good job because they he sneaks out of the hospital and ultimately like gets in the backseat. I thought for a second that he was going to tell them

[01:31:14] that he banana in the tailpipe them again. That was actually funny about that is the whole movie. The director was trying to find a way to do a banana in the tailpipe. And Eddie Murphy was like, no, like it's not going to work. It's not going to work.

[01:31:30] So I think they kind of found a slick way. I don't know if you all saw that Shaq did like a Netflix commercial where he played Shaq so fully and every time he fully brought out a banana as his gun.

[01:31:41] So that was kind of like their way of doing banana in the tailpipe. But they tried to fit it in and there wasn't any good way to fit it in without it being super cheesy. Yeah. Wow. OK, and ultimately they're going to go out to dinner.

[01:31:55] They're going out, going out for steaks, not to a strip club this time, going out for a let's go get a porterhouse. I think they should went to a strip club and I think they should did an end credit of them singing Nasty Girl. Yeah, yeah.

[01:32:11] And then the first frame is all I wanted. I was like, we cannot end this. It's a staple of the franchise. It only like it happens every time. And so I was looking for it and we got it. And at that moment I said, OK, I like this.

[01:32:25] You know, this this fits. It felt like it wasn't forced. It felt like it was very good. They felt like a good end to the story. Now, famously wrong all the time. Me, I'm always wrong. And so here I was wrong.

[01:32:37] This is not the end of the story. Apparently there's going to be a fifth Beverly Hills cop. Another iteration of the Axel Foley storyline. I'm assuming it's going to be called Axel F2. Yeah, I don't know. But I think at some point you got to.

[01:32:50] It's time, you know, it's time to let this go. 50 years of Beverly Hills Cop is wild. Ty, do you think that cooler heads will prevail and that before they get to actually making Beverly Hills Cop five, that somebody will say, eh. We're good. No, no, no.

[01:33:08] I think as long as Jerry Bruckheimer is involved, I think Eddie Murphy will appreciate it. And if Eddie Murphy is all about it, everybody else is probably going to be all about it. I don't think cool heads will prevail.

[01:33:20] The only reason that I think it won't happen is if the story, if the script isn't considered good. Right. He said that. So that's the only thing I think will happen. But I think it's going to go down, man. Rob, expect it. OK, and I'll be here.

[01:33:33] Well, I thought this was so fun. I really loved the movie and the podcast was very, very fun to talk about. So really glad we got together for Axel F. Ty, is there another movie? So we did coming to America. We did now Axel F.

[01:33:51] Is there any other remaining Eddie Murphy franchise that potentially gets a sequel after some time? I do not think there will be another one that gets a sequel. I think he's moving on to newer movies. However, there's two things that I think is a possibility.

[01:34:12] So one from Boomerang, they did make a TV show that lasted, I think, for two seasons, maybe three seasons. And it was an extension of the movie. So is there a possibility for it to be a Boomerang 2? Maybe. But from Harlem Nights,

[01:34:29] where the concept was to bring all of these comedians onto one big movie and do a thing, I do. I have heard that he is going to do something like that again. It won't necessarily be a Harlem Nights 2, but it will be a conglomerate

[01:34:45] of comedians that will come on one big movie and they will do a thing. Yeah. OK, so I've heard rumors of, you know, we can't we can't talk about Eddie Murphy without talking about one of his biggest films of all time, Shrek.

[01:34:57] Shrek five is supposed to be a donkey spin off, you know? Oh, and so actually there's a Shrek five and then a donkey spin off. Then I don't like it. Yeah. So yeah. So we're going to talk about sequels that probably aren't necessary.

[01:35:11] We got to talk about Shrek five is coming and the donkey spin off as well. Ty, did you watch Candy Cane Lane? I did watch Candy Cane Lane. What'd you think of that? I thought it was pretty decent. Yeah. Rob, we watched that.

[01:35:26] Stop asking me these questions about Eddie Murphy movies. I'm always saying it's good. It's good. OK. Yeah, I thought it was pretty, pretty good. Like, I don't remember the exact details of it.

[01:35:37] Like it was in like some sort of like his block was in like some kind of like hollow or Christmas decorating contest. And then he bought like these like special Christmas decorations. And then, you know what it was?

[01:35:53] It was that the 12 days of Christmas came to life and was like, like it's getting out of control. But I watched it twice and I thought, what's his name? Is it Chris Redd? I think his name is the comedian from SNL.

[01:36:09] I think he had a little thing with Ken, Ken's wife or whatever. He was hilarious in that movie. He was I died laughing at his parts. Yeah. OK. All right. Chappelle, what's next for us on nothing but Netflix? Candy Cane Lane to back to the late Amazon Prime.

[01:36:28] Well, it's on Netflix now, and I guess we got to talk about it. Tyrone B. Pack your things. We're back on Candy Cane Lane. No, no, I've never seen Candy Cane Lane. What was like? I'm good. I am good.

[01:36:40] But as far as Netflix goes, a lot of big stuff on Netflix. Sprint just dropped on Netflix. I think I want to talk about it over on recap kickback. So that's going to be a fun time getting ready for the Olympics.

[01:36:49] Of course, the man with a thousand kids is the number one show on Netflix right now, which I will be talking about with Sarah Caridina Marriott fourth on crime scene. But coming up, I think we're bringing back our football content.

[01:37:03] The receivers docuseries will be dropping on Netflix very soon. Yeah, we talked about quarterback last season. That was very fun receiver. I guess they followed five receivers. Devante Adams, Justin Jefferson, George Kittle, Debo Samuel and keeping the Detroit theme alive. Amon Ross, St. Brown.

[01:37:29] Yeah, this will be fun. You know, we talked about the vibe. I'm sure we talked about we talked about the Vikings last time because we did talk about her cousin. So we'll be returning back to talk about them a little bit more.

[01:37:44] But I am excited to see some of these other people because, you know, following following some of these teams are going to end in some very sad endings in a way that quarterback ended very happily.

[01:37:56] You know, it was very like it was like the tale of Patrick Mahomes going to win the Super Bowl, you know, like so far for Chiefs fans. They loved it or whatever. But there are a few people in this documentary

[01:38:05] who will not be very happy at the end of this. And so very excited to see how that turns out and how that plays out. And we definitely got to reach out to the people over at the 32 fans podcast

[01:38:14] Akiva and Chester to see if they want to come on as I guess. OK, looking forward to that one. All right. So, Ty, what's coming up for you? Um, nothing. Nothing, absolutely nothing is coming for me. If you will have me on for any other movie or show

[01:38:33] or whatever you would like to talk about, I'm happy to be here. But I do know that eventually I will make my return to recap kickback. It has been a while. So I expect to be there in some time in the near future.

[01:38:46] I just don't know what for. OK, so I got nothing. But James Jones said the same thing the other day. Well, James Jones didn't even hit a music video. Where that come from? That's Jacob Jones. He's talking about James. My man. I just saw the music video.

[01:39:09] I got the Jones mixed up. Yeah, his name is air now. OK, they're called Jacob Jones. But no, James Jones has lied and said he wants to come on recap kickback. And so maybe I'll get him in Tyrone on to talk about something.

[01:39:21] Probably not. We'll see. We'll see. See what the overlap is there. She's got what's coming up for you. Still talking about below deck here on our JP with Sasha. It's been a fun time. You know how that goes.
