The Rock (1996) Episode 166: Show Notes. Hello everyone and thank you for joining us for another episode of Your Inner Child Is An Idiot podcast, a show diving into the nostalgic memories of pop culture from our childhoods. When you hear ‘The Rock’ most people will think of the wrestler, but we are not talking about that rock; we are talking about the 90s hit film about an escape from Alcatraz Prison. It starred Nicholas Cage as the no-holds-barred hero, the legend Sean Connery, and Ed Harris as the perplexing villain. In this episode, we don’t hold back and talk about the plot of the movie, why the love interest has no impact on the plot, the problems with Nicholas Cage’s character, what the best lines in the movie are, the role of female characters in the film, why some of the movie’s plot does not make sense, and why the car chase scene is good and bad at the same time. Tune in today for another hilarious episode as we unpack one of the cheesiest movies in history to find out if your inner child is an idiot, with your hosts, Damon Xanthopoulos and DJ Phillips! Key Points From This Episode: Introduction to today’s topic and discussion about Sausalito cookies. Tweetables: “I usually think of Transformers. I think I didn't realize this was him. But this might be the platonic form of a Michael Bay movie. I'm not going to declare that, but I'm going to put that forward as a possibility.” — @yiciai DJPhillips [0:16:28] “Yeah. He plays that James Bond-ish character very well and he does it with aplomb in this movie. But Nicolas Cage is so all over the place that I don't know what I'm supposed to think about him.” — @yiciai @damonxanth [0:27:20] “It's not just like he changes over the course of the movie. It's literally from sentence to sentence. It's completely different. It makes me miss his characterization in Con Air, if that tells you anything.” — @yiciai DJPhillips [0:28:36] “It's a really dumb plan and I feel aggrieved that the movie wants me to sympathize with Ed Harris, even though he's doing reprehensible things.” — @yiciai @damonxanth [0:46:24] “This is a very stupid car chase. Please let the record show that I believe that. I really enjoyed this car chase. It was very dumb. But I don't know if I've ever seen a car chase that makes me think.” — @yiciai @damonxanth [0:49:54] Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: YICIAI
