Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! Today, we're taking a retrospective look at 48 Hrs. (1982), a film that, while pioneering in the buddy cop genre, certainly shows its age in terms of attitudes and content. Directed by Walter Hill and starring Nick Nolte alongside Eddie Murphy in his film debut, this action-comedy navigates the rough dynamics between a hardened cop and a wise-cracking convict.48 Hrs. pairs Jack Cates, a grizzled San Francisco detective played by Nick Nolte, with Reggie Hammond, a fast-talking convict portrayed by Eddie Murphy. Cates pulls Hammond from prison for just 48 hours to help track down a murderous duo, setting the stage for a partnership that's as contentious as it is critical.The core of the film revolves around the duo's urgent hunt through the city's underbelly, with their clashing styles leading to both comedic and tense moments. While the movie delivers action and quick quips, the racial dynamics and some character portrayals can feel jarring and uncomfortable to a modern audience.Why It's ProblematicOutdated Attitudes: The film's portrayal of race relations and its handling of certain stereotypes have not aged well, reflecting broader societal norms of the early '80s that can be offensive today.Chemistry and Conflict: While Nolte and Murphy's dynamic is memorable, it's sometimes overshadowed by the film's problematic elements. Their interactions, meant to be humorous, often delve into sensitive areas with questionable execution.Genre Impact: Despite its shortcomings, 48 Hrs. is credited with setting the template for future buddy cop films, blending action with humor and drama, and showcasing Murphy's star potential.At its essence, 48 Hrs. tries to tackle themes of redemption and partnership against a backdrop of crime and punishment. However, the execution sometimes falls short of addressing these themes with the depth or sensitivity that contemporary audiences might expect.For those interested in the evolution of film genres and the impact of cultural context on storytelling, 48 Hrs. serves as a useful, albeit flawed, case study. It's a reminder of how far cinematic narratives have come in depicting diversity and relationships.Join us as we dissect 48 Hrs., not just for its place in action-comedy history but also for its reflection of past attitudes and what lessons can be drawn today. Whether you find it a guilty pleasure or a problematic relic, there's no doubt that it opens up important conversations.
Welcome to the OTHERhood. We all know the story of how Harrison Ford nabbed the role of Indiana Jones from an unavailable Tom Selleck, and how Eddie Murphy scored the role of Reggie Hammond in 48 Hours at the expense of Jimmy Walker. Would the original casting have been better? But did you know that Eddie Murphy was considered to play Malcolm X and that Harrison Ford was passed over in favor of Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate? Waht would have happened had those casting choices stuck? Join the Blerdsassins Next Door at 6p PDT/ 8p CDT/ 9p CDT to discuss what would have happened in some well-known films if we had had our first choice with casting and if Hollywood had theirs.

It can take months or years for the Department of Defense to develop strategic and operational plans, with people, information and tools often scattered and stove-piped into silos. ERDC researchers have been working to develop a digital map-based environment for remote collaboration in near real time, enabling faster and more complete military planning to support timely and better-informed command decisions. The Joint Planning Services (JPS) platform allows access to dozens of authoritative live data feeds, with integrated tools to process and analyze the data, and meaningful ways to visualize the results. It also enables seamless coordination across echelons, organizations and warfighting functions. On the latest episode of the Power of ERDC podcast, we talk with JPS program manager Reggie Hammond from ERDC's Geospatial Research Laboratory in Alexandria, Virginia. We discuss how JPS is revolutionizing military planning (2:38), why ERDC is developing this capability (5:08 & 15:11), what is unique about the JPS platform (16:43), how the Joint Forces can benefit from JPS (24:14), how the technology can be used on the civil works side (27:06), and more.

A string of homicides, including the death of a fellow cop, leads Detective Jack Cates to release a small-time crook for 48hrs. Reggie Hammond only has a few months left on his sentence, but the threat of his previous partner getting away with his stash of cash is incentive enough to team-up with the hardheaded Cates. Can the two put their differences aside and stay focused long enough to settle the score, or Ganz and his team get away with it all?

Wunza a movie and wunza a podcast about buddy films, James Cameron, and Taylor Swift. Also, what happens when your favorite show ends or gets canceled? How long do you sulk and what steps can you take to move on with your life. Comment on this episode, ask a question or share what entertains you by visiting our website. EPISODE MENU [1:18] Roger Ebert and the wunza movie. [1:50] Hitman's Bodyguard and don't you think the roles should have been reversed. [3:02] One of my favorite wunza movies is 48 HRs with Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy. [7:51] Kylo Logan; let's review Lucky Logan. [12:21] James Cameron got in some hot water after stating the truth about the Wonder Woman movie. [26:03] Throw Atomic Blonde into the mix of feminism. [31:58] What to do when your favorite show is canceled or not renewed, which means canceled. [32:41] Downward Dog, I really love that show and ABC canceled it this summer. [34:48] Sense 8 canceled after two seasons. C'mon, couldn't get least get three? [43:36] What you can do when your favorite show ends. [50:36] Listener question. [53:37] Taylor Swift really needs to sit down and be humble. FOR STARTERS Robert Ebert to this day is my favorite movie critic; Ebert and Stephen King when Stephen King reviews movies for EW. Roger Ebert.com is my source for trusted movie criticism these days and also, there is this pop culture writer I enjoy reading who writes for Wired Magazine, her name is Angela Watercutter and if there is anyone worth reading these days, her stuff is worth the pop culture indulgence. Roger Ebert phrased this term, the wunza movie, which consists of two individuals: one is a blank and the other is a blank and together they will do blank. Example Two: Nice Guys One is a small-time private detective and the other a muscle for hire who must work together to solve a murder. Example Two: 48 Hours. One is a crook and the other is a cop working to capture a prison escapee. Example Three: Hitman’s Bodyguard One is a disgraced bodyguard and the other a hitman who is the key witness in the trial of a Russian leader suspected of the genocide. Not-so-Bosom Buddies and Hitman's Bodyguard Hitman’s Bodyguard was more a spoof of a 48hrs and Nice Guys or the wunza movie. Although, nice guys and 48 hrs contained many humorous moments worth the laughter, the story maintains rooted in the human element and the evolution of the relationship between the two different people forced into this unfortunate situation. The Human Element The human element is where Hitman’s Bodyguard misses out on an opportunity to become one of those wunza movies we take seriously. Samuel L Jackson and Ryan Reynolds make an awesome duo, however, their roles should be reversed; Sam should be the bodyguard, an older experienced man of duty, with Reynolds as the young cocky hitman. Jackson's portrayal of a hip energetic fast-talking assassin played perfectly in line with his coolness, however, it didn’t bode well for the fatherly relationship he later established with his younger bodyguard. Jack Cates and Reggie Hammond Consider the relationship between Jack Cates and Reggie Hammond; these two detest one another as did Bryce (Reynolds) and Kincaid (Jackson) the two characters in Hitman’s Bodyguard, but which pair was more believable? Cates and Hammond’s relationship developed after a series of detours, rundowns, and attempts at Hammonds' escaping custody. Cates continually taunts Hammond throughout the movie, never really showing any remorse or concern for his well-being — 48hrs ends with Cates punching Hammonds in the face. The two were jokey but not in that slapstick sort of way; their comedy materializes from the many potholes they experience in search of Ganz, Hammond’s former partner in crime. Byrce and Kincaid Bryce and Kincaid weren’t able to necessarily share in one another’s misery necessary to develop a true pseudo-relationship. Maybe it was because they had killers on their backsides attempted to thwart their attempt to get Kincaid to the courthouse in time before the dismissal of the case a corrupt government official, or maybe it was all this back and forth with the government and Interpol that disrupted the continuity of the wunza story. Whatever the case, Kincaid, and Bryce were very likable but not well established as two individuals we should care about; they were more comedians than a hitman and bodyguard. Selma Hayek Should Guard Her Hitman’s Body The best comedic moment came with Hayek’s foul-mouthed tirades. As Sonai Kincaid, Selma Hayek plays wife to the Hitman who's doing time by association for her husband’s misdeeds. When we first meet her, she lays on the thick Spanish accent with such profanity-laced fluidity to a couple of FBI agent that just warms the vulgarity in all of us. The previous movie I saw her in was How To Be A Latin Lover, and although she’s a good English speaker, she’s even better when they let her Spanish fly. Logan Lucky and This Side of The Come Up Heist movies are dependent on the stakes involved and for Jimmy Logan, the stakes are rather modest: he just wants to catch a break and the Indy 500 is right for the pawn. read the review SCOOP DU JOUR: What to do when a show you enjoy ends or is canceled Petition.

THIS, THAT, AND OTHER NEWS Columnists berate James Cameron over sexist statements about Wonder Woman that were not entirely wrong. Wonder Woman is an overrated success. There was no malice to his statements, however, defenders (and Patty Jenkins herself) have dragged Cameron through the mud because he's not a woman, which, I took offense too because he his a Hollywood director and he knows a bit about the ilk of studio heads and producers who only see dollar signs.

On this episode, we're talking with Brian O'Neal of the BusBoys about the band's appearance in the buddy-cop classic, 48 Hours. The 1982 film was the film debut of Eddie Murphy. In it, he plays convict Reggie Hammond, who is taken out of jail for the titular period of time in order to help Nick Nolte's cop, Jack Cates, catch a thief and murderer named Albert Ganz. It's funny, cool, and made Murphy a huge star. In one of the film's two rather classic nightclub scenes, at a bar Vroman's, Hammond tries to pick up a lady while a band play some kick-ass boogie-woogie rock 'n' roll behind it all. That band, the BusBoys, plays a song, "The Boys Are Back In Town," which is so immediately catchy that it makes a return over the end credits, AND even gets referenced in the tagline for the sequel, Another 48 Hours, when it comes out eight years later. Strangely, it never saw release as a single -- or in any form -- until the Busboys re-recorded it in 2000 for their fourth album, (Boys Are) Back in Town, along with the other song from the film, "New Shoes." We talk about all of this, as well as the band's work on the soundtrack for Ghostbusters, with the Busboys' Brian O'Neal.
