Jake Tapper, Conan, & Gourley Swap Michael Caine Impressions | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend
I want to make sure I mention this all. the demons are here this book is out. there's a large chunk at the end which. is telling you you know it's giving you. basically factual follow-ups wouldn't. you say that's true are you talking. about the end notes yeah end notes the. endnotes are just uh I put those in the. end of at the end of every book so. people can know what's real and what's. not real from all the stuff I write. about because there's historical fiction. it's historical fiction so there's real. things and if you want to know. you know did Jacob did Jake make up Viva. Knievel or is that a real movie and you.
just go no Viva Knievel was a real film. and then I do the review from the 1977. daily Variety in the most daring feat of. his career Evil Knievel leaps over a. mountain of Blazing cliches and a. cavernous plot. that's so real you know what I think. that critic had made up their mind. before they went I think they went you. know to hate evil Knievel's movie I. would have written a wonderful review. for that movie uh well I think Gene. Kelly was in it well this is there was. an ERA do you remember this was it the.
Swarm it was about bees Killer Bees. coming up and they got huge stars to be. in these oh the Irwin Allen all the. Irwin Island Disaster films had the. biggest Hollywood stars of the 30s and. 40s and 50s were in disaster movies in. the late 70s and 80s yeah and it's. mostly them saying my God how could this. have happened think about the Towering. Inferno it had Paul Newman and Steve. McQueen and O.J Simpson and Fred Astaire. that's right keep going uh that's a fire.
well Roddy McDowell's in all of them. right and George Kennedy George Kennedy. is in every almost every disaster movie. but you know so then you talked about. the Killer Bees thing in this one we've. alienated so many people on this place. about the Swarm yeah not the Swarm but. the Killer Bees so when so in the 70s. this was a legitimate fear who's old. enough to only are you the only you know. you maybe you too no no I love that you. pointed to blay who's actually about 22.
Killer Bees were a big thing that were. going to kill us all so right they were. coming from South America they were. coming they did a horror movie about it. called the Swarm they did there was an. NBC did a special about it and. researching this book I found out that. it was all pretty much invented by. Rupert ronak to sell papers oh my God he. sucks in San Antonio not prepared to say. that the first the first newspaper. Cooper he bought these San Antonio. newspapers and they basically scared the. out of the country to sell papers. and the Killer Bees were a real thing. but it was you were they were it was.
going to take years for them to get to. the United States and you only really it. wasn't like one one would sting you. you'd be like like a thousand would have. to sting you to kill you anyway no no it. was it was a I remember it was a again. an incredibly cheesy kooky movie about. the Killer Bees coming and taking over. towns and I remember there's at one. point I think it was Michael Caine was a. scientist in it and he said I don't do a. Michael Kane impression it'll just be. Nixon again but no but Michael Kane says.
I can't believe it was the bees they've. always been our friends like. I like of all the of all the insects it. was the bees it's more like um I can't. believe. it was the Beast it was the bees you. know it's just a slow it's a slow I'm. really shocked but it's not I can't. believe okay but there you go it was the. Beats they took a turn well well. I'll try again there you go okay there. it is there it is I love bees Mary.
Poppins all right all right fool do you. remember do you remember that when I'm. the voice of reason here. then uh the has hit the fan do you. remember when uh do you remember the. horror movie starring Michael King. called the hand I just watched that did. you watch really I haven't seen that oh. I adore that movie he is a cartoonist. who loses his hand in a car accident and. then the hand starts killing people the. hand escapes and starts killing people. and then should we do the spoiler alert.
or yeah I wouldn't worry if you're not. sure whether it's is it is imagining it. or it's manifesting he's like is he. killing is he killing people yeah and. he's imagining that it's his hand. creeping along I'm gonna say no I'm. going for it's actually the hand correct. but you don't find that out to like the. last minute yeah I didn't wrote it. Oliver Stone who plays a cameo as a bum. in that movie too yeah. we um we got more time let's cover some. movies.
this is what talking to you does Jake. because your books are filled with uh. all this stuff then the next thing you. know we're talking about the hand yeah. and so we might as well get the word out. on the hand yeah uh I think written and. directed by Oliver Stone yeah and that. same old story about a cartoonist who. loses his hand. 1981 and the Hand of course goes out and. kills people yeah so check that out I'm. sure that's one of those movies that. when you look for it on streaming you. will not find it oh I got I got places.
