I don't know what you people are talking about. The description clearly says 1988, not 1998. And I certainly wouldn't have entered the wrong year by mistake and corrected it afterwards because I'm infallible as you well know.

Me at 3 AM: must go to sleep. Smeghead: Uploads new Cinematic Excrement episode. Me: Sleep can wait for another 23 minutes. Damn you, Smeghead. You and your hilarious videos.

Paul Rudd going onto Conan and having the clip of Mac and Me play almost every time is a great story and makes Mac and me worth it.

At best, Cocktail is a Flashdance story for men - contrivance included.

The making of Cocktail was mainly the inspiration behind the creation of TGI Fridays. It all started when Alan Stillman opened the first TGI Fridays restaurant in 1965, in New York. He lived in a neighborhood with many airline stewardesses, fashion models, secretaries, and other young, single people on the East Side of Manhattan near the Queensboro Bridge and hoped that opening a bar would help him meet women. At the time, Stillman's choices for socializing were non-public cocktail parties or beer-drinking taverns that women usually did not visit. He said that "There was no public place for people between, say, 23 to 37 years old, to meet." He sought to recreate the comfortable cocktail party atmosphere in public despite having no experience in the restaurant business. Sounds a bit like Tom Cruise's character learning the bartending business.

Mac and Me deserves a full episode

TGI Fridays in the '80s was primarily a bar and nightspot, my dude. I used to work there. It wasn't until the '90s that they pushed into becoming more "family friendly."

“CONFOUND THIS MOVIE! IT DRIVES ME TO DRINK!”

A more accurate title should be episode #113: Cocktail & More

"Mac and Me" should have won Worst Picture of 1988. It's a terrible "ET" rip off that Steven Spielberg should have sued whoever directed this movie.

Cocktails is great! I'm writing a similar script based on my own life. Gas Station cashier superstar.

Cocktail didn't deserve to win Worst picture. Mac and me should've won instead.

Just in time for my lunch break... on 3rd shift at the nursing home.

2:31-2:37 - Well, to be fair, Obi-Wan wasn't exactly a saint in the original trilogy. 4:02-4:09 - Being miserable and treating other people like dirt is every New Yorker's God-given right. 7:55 - And he drank himself even stupider when he made The Mummy. Come on, you all knew this was coming. 9:24 - Doesn't have nearly as much ring to it as "You complete me."

Hot to Trot's horse definition should've just stated that "a horse is a horse of course, of course. And no one can talk to a horse, of course". (Mr. Ed theme.)

Some bars do get so busy that 10-20 people just shout their orders at the bartender. But that's usually a nightclub on a Saturday night or an actual bar during a big sports game and both of those cases usually don't happen that much. It sure as hell doesn't happen at a restaurant bar like TGI Fridays or Applebees.

Cocktail probably won Worst Picture because it was a big hit financially.

I agree that "Hot to Trot" is worse than "Cocktail" and it's even worse than "Caddyshack II". John Candy was a waste of good talent and Bobcat Goldthwait like Nick Swardson in "Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star" is not leading man material, but a side comic relief.

Thanks for uploading and the 5-in-1 review! Good stuff, funny as always!

One summer when I was in high school I worked for a few weeks at the delivery dock of a hospital. We'd take deliveries and bring them to the appropriate part of the hospital. My boss was a dumb high-school dropout who really thought he'd arrived in life because he was in charge of 2 other people. I remember him talking about how he loved Bobcat Goldthwaite.

When the actuall Cocktail review ended at around 10:26 I thought "There's still 13 minutes to go... Oh, this should be good!" I was right!

I would poke fun at the Tom Cruise character not having aspirations, but I've met my brother in law, and the character is a ball of fire by comparison

Me: wait, it took 10 minutes to read Cocktail to filth? What’s happening with the second half? *mentions the other Razzie nominees* Me: oh, okay. Never mind.

I actively refuse to believe that Hot to Trot is real.

Yeah, I agree, putting it up against Hot To Trot and Mac And Me, Cocktail isn't that bad. And I looked up what won the next year. The question for next time, what does God need with a starship? 😉

In 1998? Your ten years off. Also, thanks for giving us a 5-in-1 rview!!! You're the best, Sean!

The razzies really goofed up that year. I'm beginning to rethink my opinion on the razzies.

I didn't even realize the last parts of your review were actually ADR I expect Star Trek V is next

There's 1998 instead of 1988 in your description by mistake. Get it corrected soon. The video rocks, btw. Good to see you mentioned all the other nominees too and how they stacked up against Cocktail.

LOVE it when I get a new cinematic excrement upload! Keep up the good work!

To think, the song Kokomo was written for this movie. Obviously, the song has eclipsed the movie several times over

it hurts me to think about the hundreds of people that watched Cocktail and thought it was cool.

The "Is he, though?"-reference killed me! Well done, sir!

"Keep Your Eye on the fruit!" Well done Broski :)

Cobra with Sylvester Stallone is my favorite bad action movie from the 80's. The plot doesn't make any sense and Brigitte Nielsen can't act to save her life. It's a prototypical Cannon movie.

The Colonel just wants Rambo back because he's the best... by default... the rest of their team is dead.

Hot to Trot sounds like an 80s version of Chairmen of the Board (I hope to see both of these films covered one day)

The only good thing that came out of this movie was Kokomo by the Beach Boys. Wouldn't you agree? I love that song!

Fun fact about Hot to Trot, Bobcat knew it was bad but his agent drew a dollar sign on it after Bobcat asked why he would do it and the experience of filming the movie was so bad that it led to him to becoming a filmmaker, I highly recommend Bobcat’s movie Worlds Greatest Dad

I've been waiting for this for a long time.

I always love the videos when he goes into depth about other things

You missed the perfect opportunity to play Kokomo by The Beach Boys in the credits. That song came from the Cocktail soundtrack and was a #1 hit. Perhaps some Razzie voters were Brian Wilson fans and wanted to stick it to Mike Love. What'cha doing next? Oh, it's Star Trek V. I hope this is one of the times the Razzies got it right.

Here's who else was considered for the roles of Brian, Coughlin, and Jordan: Brian: 1.Jeff Bridges 2.Jim Carrey 3.Steve Guttenberg 4.Tom Hanks (couldn't accept the role due to scheduling conflicts with Big) 5.Rob Lowe 6.Bill Murray (was busy with Scrooged) 7.Keanu Reeves (was busy with Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure) 8.Charlie Sheen 9.John Travolta 10.Robin Williams 11.Ted McGinley 12.Michael Keaton 13.Matthew Broderick Coughlin: 1.Jack Nicholson 2.Dustin Hoffman 3.Michael Caine 4.Dudley Moore 5.Paul Newman Jordan: 1.Jodie Foster 2.Heather Graham (was busy with License to Drive) 3.Jennifer Grey 4.Daryl Hannah 5.Jennifer Jason Leigh 6.Demi Moore 7.Sarah Jessica Parker 8.Molly Ringwald 9.Ally Sheedy

TGI Friday's had a really different rep in the 80s. But your points remain valid.

You are on of the most underrated KZfaq s

I've been a barman. I have had this exact experience of having EVERYONE at the bar shouting at me. It got so bad I had to get a bouncer to stand by the bar to stop customers from threatening to kill me because I took too long to serve them. Also had a sixpack stolen from behind the counter. Bartending is a horror.

Shit movie, but the most clever tagline of all time. "When he pours, he reins"

I guess Sean's gotta pull out the Kirk costume again for next time. Can't wait!

Thankyou for taking the time to review Cocktail. It's great and you're wrong.

I would personally prefer, “Next time, we are going to Boldly go where no man has gone before.” This means on Cinematic Excrement episode 114: we are going to take a look at Star Trek 5: The Final Frontier.

If you guys want a prime example of why Bobcat Goldthwait is sidekick material, he was the voice of Pain in Disney's Hercules.

This trope always irritates me to no end; the young, ambitious person who says they have no plans to start a family (have kids) that ALWAYS ends up changing their mind. Would it kill Hollywood to have at least a few characters stick to their guns when it comes to children? Not everyone wants them or has to have them; this ain't the 1950s anymore.

I actually saw MAC & Me as a kid and enjoyed it, though I was younger than Eric at the time.

I remember seeing this and giving it a review in the school paper. My first review ever!

I really enjoy Kokomo by The Beach Boys. It was the only good song in the god-awful 80’s era of The Beach Boys.

Next month: Star Trek 5. A film that DID deserve Worst Picture.

About time man. Where have your bad movie reviews been.👍

The book is dark, gritty, seedy, sleazy, funny in a black-humored way. It's a great read and this movie has none of that.

The director of this film would later go on to direct one of the best sci-fi horror films of the '90s "Species". And also others such as "Dante's Peak" and "The Recruit".

Oh, you mentioned Mac and Me? You and Phelous can poke fun at it later on, maybe?

2:01-2:09 This scene was using TV footage from October 10, 1987. Washington beat #13 Arizona State 27-14, Michigan State beat #12 Michigan 17-11.

Been a month already!

Its hard to believe anything could be worse than Chaddyshack 2

News Flash: He never would have gotten even one job interview on Wall Street without the relevant credential and experience.

I hate that I’m old enough to know this.... T.G.I. Friday’s ny was actually the place that popularized the style of bottle flipping etc for the mainstream. It was famous for it at this time so it’s probably not unreasonable to show a scene like this - as it would have seemed exotic to everyone else / but a weekend at T.G.I. Friday’s The restaurant is nothing like it used to be in the 80s and you’ve only seen this in Vegas because of Friday’s back then. Great video as always my man!

Similar to how Cruise was nominated for both & worst actor at the same time, Aerosmith’s “I Don’t Want To Miss a Thing” was nominated for both best & worst original song at the same time as well.

Fun (personal) fact: I actually saw Mac and Me before I saw E.T. Let me explain. E.T. was in theaters the year I was born and I am guessing my family had seen it because I was flat out forbidden from watching it. My grandma thought the movie was too violent if memory serves so Mac and Me was something I watched instead. Despite the fact that I am very well aware that it is a crappy movie, I still have fond memories of watching it (remember I like Hudson Hawk and Howard the Duck so... I am very familiar with cinematic excrement). My grandma didn't like it... but enjoyed watching it with me. Another fun fact: I was forbidden from watching E.T. but I used to watch Alien Nation the television series with my grandma (yes, the same one). She had... weird rules. Some things I wasn't allowed to watch and yet other things was perfectly fine. Wasn't allowed to watch Nightmare on Elm Street nor Friday the 13th... but watched the sequels with her full knowledge (Also watched Tales from the Crypt and Tales From The Otherside). Wasn't allowed to watch Heavy Metal (I doubt I need to explain why) by my DAD, my grandma said it would be fine. :D Her logic with that one was: "It's a cartoon... she loves cartoons!" Enjoyed listening to my dad try to tell my grandma why I couldn't... while they were actively watching it and she was in the same room. My family is weird.

I take "Rain Man" any day over "Cocktail".

Didn't expect cocktail to be so dull the Sean recaps the other nominees to bump the runtime, not that there was much to the plot.

My very first thought when I saw the title was, "No. No. No. NO! COCKTAIL WAS A CLASSIC-! Actually, it was pretty terrible wasn't it?" Thank you for showing me the light. And this was before I even got one second into the video.

Now I want a full review of Hot to Trot.

And despite all said here…. I always have and always will enjoy Cocktail and can’t justify why really.

Mac and Me or Hot to Trot should have won--or both should have tied for the win...

Okay I usually think Bobcat's schtick gets tiresome but that seems to be because the people behind the camera don't know when enough is enough. But you should check out Shakes The Clown if you haven't already. Bobcat directed and stars in it, and Martin Scorsese calls it the Citizen Kane of drunken clown movies.

13:33 Rambo didn't give us that line, Optimus Prime did in the Transformers episode War Dawn. That episode aired in 1986, two years before Rambo III.

A guy gets a bartending job and learns responsibility, which helps him improve his love life? That's honestly a pretty good premise for a movie.

You might wanna double check the description...unless I'm mistaken, Cocktail and Rain Man (which I'm assuming "Tom Cruise Starred in the Best Picture of the year" is referring to) were 1988 movies, not 1998.

For me personally I agree with you Hot to Trot is not only bad it's not even so bad it's good while Mac and Me would be a close second one of the upsides is that it gave Paul Rudd his favorite prank to pull on Conan. I feel like Bobcat is a better director while just ok as a supporting actor provided he's given a good script two good examples are his roles in Hercules as Pain and the guy who goes crazy in Scrooged.

Never throw Elizabeth Shue away.

I liked this movie as a kid, Elizabeth shue taking off the swimsuit was an early sexual awakening for me. Fight me

However, this review is genius! So I feel happy again! great stuff.

I don't remember anyone disliking this film when it came out. Jamie Foxx even used call Cruise, 'Mr. Cocktail', because the film was so successful. Cocktail was the 7th highest grossing movie of 1988. To compare, Beetlejuice was 10th. I think since people now see the RT score, they automatically think that's how the film was thought of back then, but it was not. Rotten Tomatoes wasn't even around when the movie came out. Cocktail is a really good movie.

I don't care if Caddyshack 2 was horrible, I want the the family picture where all the faces are Chevy Chase's.

Great ADR skills toward the end 😉

Cocktail is Kind of a Diss-Movie against Tom Cruise if you listen closer to the Dialogs told to Tom's Character. The Movie would be great if there actualy wouldn't be a Happy-Ending. I would make the Ending like this: His Girlfriend doesn't forgive him and he gets then beaten up by the Bodyguards of her Dad and get kicked out to the Streets. He becames a total lunatic Stalker then and after he cathes her up to try to talk to her again then she uses a Protection-Spray on him and calls the Police. He gets arrested and later he commits Suicide by hanging himself up in Jail. That would be such a wonderful Ending and the Movie would be so much better :)

What makes "cocktail" worse than "hot to trot" is that it takes itself seriously.

Tom Cruise went from "Top Gun" and "The Color of Money" to this, because being a cocky bartender is an extension to his range of being a cocky Navy fighter jet pilot and a cocky pool hustler.

I don't know if coglin is a peek into tom cruise's future as he has love intrests that are way younger than him.

Never saw Caddyshack II. Never will.

... and being just OK is the worst offense a film can make. Either win convincingly or lose devastatingly. That is the only way to be remembered.

Did something happen to your mic during recording or did you decide to dub half your video just to mess with people? :D

Cocktail: the original Twilight!

I would love to see you do an entire video on Mac and Me.

Next time: Star Trek V: The Final Frontier

There's a bar & grill in my city called "Coughlin's Law" that I had assumed was in an old law office or owned by former lawyers or something like that. I didn't realize the name actually came from this movie until just now.

I'm shocked! I love this movie.

In July, we shall venture... The Final Frontier.

Smeghead 👍🏻👍🏻 way up

Just curious, but are these videos monetized?

I've actually enjoyed cocktail not just a drink but the movie. But all of his points are very valid and I will not see the movie again the same way.
