Lou Diamond Phillips vs Mark Wahlberg! It's The Big Hit (1998) on Hindsight is Horrifying

Season 2, Ep. 54

The Big Hit: “Let’s go, baby! Let’s work!”


Did you ever consider the hitman’s feelings when he kidnaps you? You will when you watch this trashtastic piece of cinema starring Lou Diamond Phillips, Marky Mark, and Mark Wahlberg!


For real, #Hindsighters, what innocent catholic schoolgirl doesn’t dream about falling victim to kidnaping and inevitable Stockholm Syndrome when they’re taken hostage by someone as hot as Marky Mark?


#Hindsighters, forget about Christina Applegate (we’re kidding; even Darth knows that’s not possible) and focus on the jailbait that is China Chow in this hot cinematic nonsense.


What’s the one lesson your intrepid podcasters have learned from this movie, you ask? Sensual, non-consensual cooking inevitably leads to kosher takeout.

Can they belch loudly enough? Did you know that John Goodman is in this movie? Does this movie hold up? Listen and find out as Darth, Adam, and Jason discuss Revenge of the Nerds!
  • 8. Teen Steals Fighter Jet to Save his Dad! It's "Iron Eagle" on Hindsight is Horrifying.

    01:03:50
    You’re a hot-blooded teenage boy on the verge of graduation and prom. Your application to flight school has been rejected. Your fighter ace dad is facing the gallows in a non-existent outlaw nation for the crime of being American. It’s up to Doug Masters and Col. Chappy Sinclair (yes, those are really their names) to hatch a PLAN. Just not before Doug races a Cessna against a dirt bike. Jumpin’ Jack Flash, this has GOT to be an 80s movie. Col. Ted Masters (seriously, these names though) is being held captive in a rouge state that’s run by Snidely Whiplash or Tony Shalhoub. Your favorite podcasters simply cannot decide.  Regardless, it’s time to crank up the tunes and jack an F-16, because it’s the Fall of the 80s on Hindsight is Horrifying!#1980s #80smovies #airforce #f16

    01:08:27
    What could be better than chasing tail and cheating at sports in the great outdoors? Nothing we humble podcasters can dream up, unless you figure out a way to factor in Bill Murray in a kid’s toy helmet.This 70s nonsensical classic not only granted the world access to the incomparable team that was Ivan Reitman, Harold Ramis, and Bill Murray. This film also taught us the greatest lesson that any kid could garner from summer camp: DON’T BE A MEATBALL!What’s a meatball? If you have to ask, you’re a total meatball.Could Bill Murray BE more creepy in this movie? Undoubtedly. Would that matter? In the 70s, probably not. Just ask Geena Davis. She used to be in movies, but she’s not in movies anymore.Don your Hawaiian shirts and short shorts. Lace up your Ah-Dee-Dahs and join us for our final Summer of 70s episode, Meatballs!
