watching RAMBO III (praise to the brave soldiers of the mujahideen) and reminded of my personal head-canon that every character kurtwood smith has ever played is simple clarence boddiker in a different universe
Yeah, that did make That 70's show a tad jarring; kept waiting for Red to drop the pretense and be Boddiker.
Also, the streaking episode where Red asks Ford why he pardoned Nixon is a decent episode.
It's fucked up that the best political commentators in the country, in my view, have come together to analyse our even more fucked up society through the lens of movies I obsessively watched when I was 9.
It's especially wild when you realize it's John Rambo spent his youth in a forever war that messed him up, and then decided to go right into another forever war
Are you also covering The Living Daylights? Itโs one of my favorite Bond movies. No wonder the Mujahideen were successful with Rambo and 007 supporting their cause.
I saw Rambo III in a dollar theater while at a summer debate camp at Baylor University (at least that's what my dating profile says). Still not cool with his creating the Taliban, but all of us playing hooky had a good pre-MST3K experience, laughing our asses off at that chewed-gum necklace.
There's no reason every character Kurtwood Smith has ever played played isn't an origin story of Clarence Boddiker. Boddiker's like a archetypal convergence or eternal champion sort of thing.

They were okay. It was the weirdos from the Taliban, backed by Pakistani intelligence forces, who stepped in after the Russians left and weโd lost interest who are still causing trouble today.
My brother is trying to start a podcast about his head canon where every character an actor plays is actually the same character in the same universe, and you have to connect the dots to explain how that could possibly be - and he's starting with Debra Jo Rupp.
