DRUNK CINEMA 021: "Hot Fuzz" Is Up!

 
"What's the situation?"
"Two blokes and a fuck-load of cutlery!"
-- Sgt. Nicholas Angel & DS Andy Wainwright, Hot Fuzz

Hello again, movie fans!  My wonderful co-host Xan Sprouse and I are back with a new episode of Drunk Cinema! This time, we watch Hot Fuzz, the 2007 buddy cop action comedy film directed by Edgar Wright, featuring Simon Pegg as Sgt. Nicholas Angel, Nick Frost as PC Danny Butterman, Jim Broadbent as Inspector Frank Butterman, and Timothy Dalton as Simon Skinner!

In this episode, Xan and I discuss things like Drunk Cinema finally being a legal drinking age, the death of Meat Loaf, Tom Hanks on the Saturday Night Live sketch "Black Jeopardy", what happened with our first attempt to watch Hot Fuzz in 2021, Xan's dying headphones, Kevin Spacey ruining Edgar Wright's film Baby Driver, Xan crushing on Anthony Rapp, the Spaced TV series that gave us Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, David Bradley as William Hartnell and the First Doctor on Doctor Who, Olivia Colman on Broadchurch, Xan and I watching Peacemaker, Bill Nighy as Slartibartfast and Martin Freeman as Arthur Dent in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie, uncredited cameos by Peter Jackson and Cate Blanchett, Nicholas pissing off the pub owners by kicking out the hoodie gang, Bill Bailey playing twin roles, the three flavors of Cornetto ice cream cones in Edgar Wright's Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy, the horrible local theater play of Romeo + Juliet, Timothy Dalton as James Bond and the Chief on Doom Patrol, Arthur Wembley having a huge stash of guns and an old sea mine in his shed, Danny's impressive DVD collection, Xan liking an English breakfast except for the mushrooms, the Sandford city council going full Wicker Man, using a train of shopping carts as a battering ram, the missing swan doing a ride-along, Nicholas Angel and Simon Skinner's Godzilla vs. Mothra fight in the miniature of Sandford, the awkward moment when Simon Skinner gets impaled on a miniature church steeple, The World's End being my least favorite of the Cornetto Trilogy, Xan and I discussing Airplane! in our next episode, and more!
