I liked El Mariachi. Desperado and Once Upon A Time In Mexico too but sadly those films led us to where we are today: Spy Kids in Star Wars! 

6 years is a lifetime when you’re a teenager

Agree with all points except the last one. That’d be like asking for a Western or a WW2 film to be set in the 1970's.

They did throw in Ultravox’s Vienna which came out in 1980 and the High School reunion had the Divinyls ‘touch myself’ which was released in 1990

Unfortunately I’dont think Tia Carrere is a good pick precisely because she’s a 90’s icon. We all remember her from Wayne’s World which came out in 1992 when she was in her mid-20’s. 

I’ve lived in rural Victoria for the last 10 years. Had a few run out in front of me but have usually seen them coming and been able to slow down or avoid them. If it’s night or twilight, I expect them to run out so I keep my eyes open and my foot near the brake pedal.

I agree with the idea of them pimping up their rides after scoring a gig as foot-soldiers for La Boba Nostra but I still think the shiny chrome look is just so out of place for Tatooine. If they were weathered up a bit, I wouldn’t have such an issue but they just looked like they were transplanted from a different…

Can you also tell him to say that the Mayans were right about 2012? We could have done with a bit more thinning of the herd 10 years ago

Any outcome that results in me having to wear lederhosen and listen to schlager music is not a desirable one. 

Kangaroos can be easily avoided if you keep your eyes of your phone while your driving (admittedly something that most aussies find difficult to do)

I’m not sure that telling him that it all went pear-shaped when he invaded the USSR and instead inferring that he should maybe play friendly with Stalin and perhaps collaborate with him in developing the atomic bomb, is really a desirable outcome.

Absolutely loved it. Was pissing myself laughing throughout.

I can see the Scooter Kids winding up as really annoying antagonists in a Saints Row game at some point.

That was getting to me in the first couple of episodes. He’s supposed to be like the head of The Mob. 4 people (or more specifically 1 human, 1 droid and Rocksteady and Bebop) do not constitute a mob. 

It’s up there with the Last Jedi’s glacial paced bombing run / fleet ‘chase’ combo and a ‘de-aged’ Robert Deniro handing out a superannuated beat-down in ‘The Irishman’

With this weeks ‘Alita: Battle Angel’ kids and the jarring product placement for Boston Dynamics in the first episode, Robert Rodriguez seems determined to shove in as much anachronistic shit as possible and it’s pissing me off.

It’s almost guaranteed that at some point the galaxy’s equivalent of Anthony Bourdain filmed an episode on Tattooine and now the Mos Eisley Cantina is an awful hipster tourist hangout and the nearby barbecued Kowakian monkey-lizard stall has been bestowed with their equivalent of a Michelin Star.

Tbh I thought it was a reference to Once Were Warriors.

As much as I liked the first episode, has anyone addressed the robotic dog-shaped elephant in the room?
