Welcome back to the resurrection of the podcast that started it all—welcome to "Second Chance Schwartzy" with the indomitable brothers Aleks and Milenko! This time, they're revisiting the golden era of Arnold Schwarzenegger's filmography, kicking off with a deep dive into the 1988 buddy cop comedy, "Red Heat."Picture this: Arnold Schwarzenegger as Ivan Danko, a Soviet Union cop sent on a special assignment to the chaos of Chicago, USA. His partner in this odd couple adventure? The hilarious Jim Belushi as Art Ridzik. It's a fish-out-of-water story with a touch of the buddy cop dynamic that defined the era.While "Red Heat" might seem like a goofy comedy at first glance, the brothers reveal its hidden layers. The film cleverly explores the cultural clash between Danko's Soviet background and Ridzik's Chicago upbringing, emphasizing the surprising similarities between the two. Set against the backdrop of the dwindling Cold War tensions and the impending dismantling of the Soviet Union, the movie captures a unique moment in history.But that's not all—the plot thickens with Ed O'Ross playing Viktor Rosta, the notorious USSR drug pusher and big bad guy. The narrative weaves a subplot involving the Cleanheads, a Black liberation movement, drawing intriguing parallels between Black liberation in America and socialist principles in the USSR. It's a dense and captivating plot that unfolds against the backdrop of East meeting West."Red Heat" is a classic tale with an ensemble cast that's nothing short of iconic—Gina Gershon, Laurence Fishburne, Peter Boyle, and more. The movie surprises with its depth and intriguing layers, making it a classic worth revisiting. So, join the brothers as they unravel the intricacies of this Schwarzenegger gem in "Second Chance Schwartzy." It's a blast from the past that promises to be a great and surprising ride!
