Dudes do, indeed, rock. I also watched Road House late. Thought it was going to be a good bad movie. But damn if it isn’t great!

As a CA reporter in the early 80s, I got to watch Sam Elliott film for a day on Pismo Beach, which was substituting for Florida in a made-for-tv Travis McGee mystery story. That devilish twinkle in his eye; always present. That aura of “Roadhouse” flirt; always present. No idea what cologne he was wearing, but even over the smell of salty beach air, he is still the best smelling man I have ever met. (I am partial to men’s colognes.) Wish I had been Kelly Lynch in that dance scene just for the smell of it again. Crush on that! 💖💖💖

I am OBSESSED with this trivia about him. Thank you SO much for your reporting!! And for reading! I met Bruce Springsteen in 2016 and the thing I remember most is how MINTY he smelled. So so good. I think he’s my best scented man in memory.

Love. This. Segment. (thanks for subscribing, btw. I will be reciprocating). Oh, how I miss Patrick and his dance moves. Glad you finally got around to watching this movie. I haven't seen many of Sam Elliott's movies, but Gawd Day-um. That voice of his!

Thank you for stacking and subscribing!! If you haven’t seen the Bradley Cooper Star is Born, Sam has a hearty role in it!

You DIDN'T know Sam Elliott was in ROADHOUSE?

And you call yourself an American....

I knew, I just didn’t realize THAT was him! It took me a second to recognize him!

It's cool. 😀

I started watching an episode of Season 5 of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE a few minutes in, and I kept thinking "That bland-faced guy looks and sounds vaguely familiar, who is he?" I asked my wife and she laughed told me "That's Sam Elliott!" I told her she must be kidding because he didn't even look like Sam Elliott without his mustache and drawling voice, but once the episode ended I went back to the opening credits, and By Gum, it was him!

Sam Elliott is a man who should never shave his mustache, because he looks weird without it.

Okay see?? You get it!! I was looking for a mustache and it wasn’t really there in Road House.

"Smegma stain" is an absolutely bloated corpse of an insult; what a champ. We need more art critics like you

I would watch another teamup with these characters or just these dudes. Really, really fun time.
