Get To The Chedda! Road House (1989): Bar Fights, Big Hair, and Throat Rips

GTTC Ep 6. Roadhouse Screen One

Step aside prestige cinema, because Get To The Chedda! is back, and this time we’re heading straight to the Double Deuce for one of the most gloriously outrageous action movies of the 1980s: Road House (1989).

In this brand new episode, host Matt Bourne unleashes the Cheese-O-Meter™ on the Patrick Swayze classic that has it all – roundhouse kicks, monster trucks, bar stool beatdowns, philosophical musings, and of course, Sam Elliott in full denim glory.

What’s in the episode?

  • The Legacy of Dalton: Patrick Swayze’s stoic, mullet-clad cooler with a heart of gold and fists of fury.
  • Barroom Carnage: We dig into the infamous fight scenes that make Road House a go-to cult action flick.
  • Cheddar Watch: Where does Road House rank on the legendary Cheese-O-Meter™?
  • The Villainy of Brad Wesley: Ben Gazzara hams it up with villainy so smooth you could spread it on toast.
  • The Music, The Mayhem, The Shirts Off: There’s no shame in loving every ridiculous, over-the-top second of it.

This is Get To The Chedda! at its most high-octane. Think of it as the podcast equivalent of a flying knee to the chest in slow motion.
