In honor of the passing of Matthew Perry recently I decided to do one of my favorite movies of his. Of course, I loved him as Chandler on Friends, but this movie holds a special place in my heart.

I forget how gross the opening is. MP plays a dentist and so it opens with him brushing his teeth. So you see like his tongue and stuff. He also breaks the fourth wall a little bit. His wife and mother-in-law live his him and they are quite terrible.

I think this movie is the reason I hate anything to do with teeth. I could definitely never be a dentist or a dental assistant. NOOOOOO THANKS!

Bruce Willis, a contract killer, with an anger problem 🤏🏼 just becomes his new neighbor.

I also act a lot like MP when I’m nervous. I NEVER shut up! And very jumpy

Rosanna Arquette, his wife, who I only just now realized is sister to David Arquette. Now trying to get MP to kill BW for the money. Oh boy. Amanda Peet, plays his receptionist, formally hired to kill MP, but really is like his best friend now and only have his best interest. Wants him to go get laid while he’s in New York.

Enter arguably my favorite character Frankie Figs, played by Michael Clarke Duncan. He keeps punching MP in the kidneys. He works for Kevin Pollak’s character who is looking for BW. Yanni Gogolak, such a funny last name, Gogolak 🤣  He starts moving closer to MP and he tries to back away but bounces off of MCD very funny.

We have Natasha Henstridge playing BW’s wife in the movie. Perfect example of beauty and hard ass. Definitely makes sense why BW’s character was attracted to her.

Got a little munchy so I got my Pop Rock Candy Pocky, its sooo cool and fun to eat lol. Anyway, I paused the movie and I’m already over 300 words in and only 34mins into the movie 🤦🏼‍♀️ because the pop rocks are covered in chocolate most of the popping happens in the back of your throat. It feels funny lolol

Yet again, MP tries to get away from someone in front of him and bounces off of MCD instead 😂

Totally got distracted. Happens a lot lol

Don’t want to give away too much of the movie at the part I’m at now. So I’ll just leave the review here. Not like it isn’t long enough from just the first 30 minutes of the movie 😂☠️

Toke on

this might be a random question but do you have any recs for 70s exploitation movies that have a classic charlie's angels vibe? like the funky music and clothes, women kicking ass, different locations and set pieces but sleazier than the tv show? something like coffy or even certain women in prison movies. i'm not sure if this is up your alley but i'd love any ideas!

not that i have watched, even from the WIP movies for example it's kinda difficult to find that type of collaboration between women because in those exploitation movies it really is every person for themselves and no one is safe (especially not the women). in WIP movies for example those partnerships happen against the women's will a lot of the time so it's hardly ever the nice fantasy one hopes (or the easy girl power sold today). for instance since you mentioned a jack hill movie, there's the big doll house (1971) where women team up to try to escape jail. there's also the big bird cage (1972) and switchblade sisters (1975) but i haven't watched those yet, idk about jack hill even though he did give me the great spider baby. still on WIP films i have watched escape from hell (1980) with the gorgeous ajita wilson, but i'm not sure it is what you are looking for. there's also demme's caged heat (1974). slightly less violent and more absurd, there's franco's ópalo de fuego (1978) where two women team up to escape from prison and go undercover, i'm not sure if that's what you're going for but it rules though. franco's rote lippen (1969) is also wonderful and has janine reynaud and rosanna yanni kicking ass and looking gorgeous (and he also has a lot of WIP movies but i haven’t watched them yet). and also not the 70s but i have to mention my beloved she-devils on wheels (1968). i also thought of a recent watch, reform school girls (1986), it's late 80s but it still has similar roots to those 70s exploitation films and the cast is almost exclusively women. it's totally insane and was directed by tom desimone, who also directed gay adult films. there's also the female gang films from the 70s in japan like terrifying girl's high school (1972) and the stray cat rock and delinquent girl boss series. anyway it's hard to give proper recs on this because i'd need to watch more of them myself, but like i said it's not as straightforward as one would expect today from a movie where "women team up to kick ass and look hot". those movies are way grittier and complicated than that. in jailhouse 41 (1972) for example while the women team up against their will to escape from prison, they also hurt other women eventually and it's a hard watch (though it is my personal favorite from the series). so the kick ass set pieces one would expect do exist, but aren't as simple.
