Episode #728: Indecent Proposal
Added 2024-03-12 04:00:03 +0000 UTC“Ooo, yeah, throw a plate at me, Demi Moore!” - Eric
On this week’s episode, the 2024 Listener Request Month continues with a convo all about the absolute trash-fest that is, Indecent Proposal! Why don’t we see the Moore/Redford sex scene? Why are we doing that flashback with Woody Harrelson and Demi Moore, using a bad wig and braces respectively, to comically play 19 year-olds? Why are we bothering with the lame, dueling, his & hers VoiceOver tracks? How cowardly were these filmmakers and studio execs who were scared to have Redford play an actual villain? And why didn’t we ever get the Seymour Cassel spin-off film, Shackleford?! PLUS: Using Robert Redford movie titles as sex slang, fun for all!
Indecent Proposal stars Demi Moore, Woody Harrelson, Robert Redford, Seymour Cassel, Oliver Platt, Billy Bob Thornton, Billy Connolly, Danny Zorn, Kevin West, and Rip Taylor as Mr. Langford; directed by Adrian Lyne.

2024-03-14 14:59:28 +0000 UTCAndrew thought Michael Douglas made the indecent proposal and i thought Robert Redford said "hey that guy looks like broccoli!" In ant-man 3.

2024-03-13 18:45:51 +0000 UTCMy brother is an architect. Has not made it big, has not designed and built his own home and has not sold a night with his wife. He might need to take some pointers from the Wood man.
Chris Tobias
2024-03-13 18:41:05 +0000 UTCWas anyone else waiting for Chris to mention the "Phone Tap" video during the "cummies" bit? I feel like there's a 0% chance he doesn't know/remember that one.

2024-03-13 16:44:19 +0000 UTCAndrew talking about the arctic explorer made me want to recommend a David Grann book partially about him, but mainly about a 21st century guy obsessed with him and wanting to recreate Shankleton's expedition despite there being iPhones in the world (and research stations at the pole) thus making his goal a simple vanity project. It pairs very well with The Lost City Of Z, but a lot shorter. It is called The White Darkness. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_White_Darkness_(Grann_book)

2024-03-12 22:35:09 +0000 UTCThe only redeeming part of this movie is the Kingpin parody with Chris Elliot.

2024-03-12 22:13:38 +0000 UTCAndrew, "Rusty Shackleford" was also Dale Gribble's alias on King of the Hill!

2024-03-12 19:59:25 +0000 UTCThis movie wants me to believe that these 2 are a normal couple with money problems, but the way they deal with the central dilemma is "we can never talk about it. We'll just hide under this pile of coats and hope that somehow everything will work out." They're such babies the whole movie. Also you don't even have to have sex, according to the verbiage of the contract. If the spectre of sex is such an enormous burden on the relationship before the evening goes down, just establish some boundaries, go have a great Italian dinner with Redford, say good night, and enjoy your $1M, what's the dilemma there? I guess that would require these 2 characters to have an adult conversation.

2024-03-12 19:49:19 +0000 UTCYou don't even have to fuck if you don't want to, one of the stipulations in the contract is that they get the money even if Demi and Robert's evening together isn't "consummated"

2024-03-12 19:46:53 +0000 UTCYou call this guy an architect? Paul Kersey is rolling in his leathery grave.
Hard To Gwil
2024-03-12 18:59:55 +0000 UTCWas Demi Moore’s weird vest mentioned? She wears it throughout the film. It’s a long thin vest with almost two large purse-sized pockets on either side. It’s my most enduring memory of this movie and I haven’t seen it anywhere else.

2024-03-12 17:15:35 +0000 UTCAre there people who really wouldn’t take this offer? My girlfriend and I both agreed that we would take it in a minute. Jealousy doesn’t even play into it. It’s one night of fucking for one million dollars. I’m sure everyone here and their partners have fucked people they regret for zero dollars.

2024-03-12 17:13:08 +0000 UTCKirstie Alley's character was definitely drooling over Trump in Cheers as well. I mean she was like a one-dimensional gold digger, but still

2024-03-12 16:43:17 +0000 UTCone, I have a relative who is an architect. It is not even close to the "sexy" job that TV/Movies make it out to be. Even at the big firms you mostly just work on small projects while hoping to get that big office building or sports arena contract. The pay is not that great either. Since they mention Willem Dafoe... on the set of Body of Evidence Madonna called Willem Dafoe "confusingly large" Cummy Twenties was just the best part.

2024-03-12 13:02:24 +0000 UTCRedford is a legend, but this was bad casting. Michael Douglas or Jack or Connery would have elevated this from "shit" to at least "trash."

Jason
2024-03-12 12:24:38 +0000 UTCGoddamn I hate this movie. Also I agree with Steve where, Redford’d face is extremely handsome, but there’s something weird about it. Like it’s a caricature of his face in real life. I’m surprised he was only 55 in this movie, his Mask face makes him look like a younger looking 65 year old

2024-03-12 11:44:25 +0000 UTCThis movie was the ultimate blue balls for my 15 year old self. Based on the plot and the R rating I was expecting soft score porn from Demi. This should have been rated G.
John Locke
2024-03-12 10:12:05 +0000 UTCHey, Fellas! If you scanned the IMDb, etc. screenwriter Amy Holden Jones is the creator of the Fox Network medical drama THE RESIDENT - that ran for (in Sadjak voice) 107 EPISODES from 2018-2023! The Wikipedia entry is a treasure trove of actors who wisely rejected it; apparently, it was to be John Cusack in the Harrelson role. Speaking of Woody, he was supposed to play Aidan Quinn's role in BENNY & JOON (released also in 1993) & Paramount had to pay MGM for breach of contract 😄 Happy (early) St. Patty's & am I correct (per Andrew's Instagram): WALL STREET is the April 2024 WLM!? 😲

2024-03-12 07:09:09 +0000 UTCOn the subject of Billy Bob, I genuinely called him "Dollar-Store Billy Bob Thornton", because I didn't realize it was actually him until I was skimming the cast list a few moments later. That realization was honestly the most entertaining moment I had watching the movie.
