You Picked the Wrong Podcast: Silent Rage Breakdown

·22 min·2 clips

Johnny Spoiler reveals why you've stumbled into the wrong podcast for Alex Cooper or Devil Born Again.

The episode opens with Johnny Spoiler clarifying the show's focus on spoiling movies, not other topics like Alex Cooper. He discusses recent entertainment news, including Netflix's reboot of '13 Going on 30' starring Emily Batter and Logan Learman, criticizing it as unnecessary. Johnny mentions other projects like a Glenn Palast comedy and a live-action Scooby-Doo series with McKenna Grace as Daphne. The main segment is a breakdown of 'Silent Rage,' a 1982 Chuck Norris film about a genetically engineered killer. Johnny shares trivia: the song 'It's the Time for Love' is sung by Katie Segal, the biker bar scene was shot at Old Blues Bar in Dallas, and director Michael Miller researched genetic engineering at UCLA and the Wadlow Institute. He notes Chuck Norris had difficulty with love scenes but excelled in stunts, which were complex and required days of preparation. The film was originally pitched to Clint Eastwood and Steve McQueen before being rewritten for Norris. After ads for Gear Up and Olapop, Johnny continues with favorite bits from 'Silent Rage,' comparing the killer's warning to Halloween and critiquing the long love montage. He rates the movie as 'Binge Later,' not the best or worst. The episode diverges into a fan argument about 'Jumanji,' where Johnny defends the original with Robin Williams over sequels starring The Rock and Kevin Hart. He recommends other Chuck Norris movies like 'Lone Wolf McQuaid' and 'The Octagon.' Johnny ends with staff picks: HBO's 'Rooster' Episode 3 and the movie 'Is This Thing On?' starring Bradley Cooper, before closing with a call to watch Chuck Norris classics.
