Alex, Randy, Beck, and Tyler discuss The Randy and Alex Film Festival; the movie's (completely stacked) intro credits; behind-the-scenes drama; Cary Elwes as Iceman; Alex's deep disappointment at the film's 37% Rotten Tomatoes score; some of the film's many profoundly unlikely scenarios; drinkin' weird stuff and Bud heavies in a moving car hauler; and a surprising number of personal health jokes, but not to do with the scenes you're thinking of (which have perhaps not aged as well as some other parts of the movie); Also covered: the gritty and impressive race cinematography; the real BAT.com; the best '90s movie parking lot; the formative way in which several of our crew learned about drafting; and, of course, the Cruise Run. Tyler reveals himself as easy to please, while Beck's godfather does not. Finally, we get a late (and exceedingly rare) name drop from our Mr. Nonnenberg.
