I want an unequivocal, unmitigated apology from everyone (and especially from HE commenter Dean Treadway) who argued with me about the spelling of Road House. Everywhere in the country it’s spelled “roadhouse” and the movie title is just wrong…a weird fabrication. And guess what? Road House itself agrees.
Jake Gyllenhaal: Can I ask a question?
Jessica Williams: Sure.
Gyllenhaal: Why is it called the Road House?
Williams: Whadaya mean?
Gyllenhaal: Isn’t roadhouse one word?
Williams: Yeah. That’s the joke. It’s a roadhouse, but it’s called the Road…House. Get it?
Gyllenhaal: Still unresolved.
Williams: Well, I don’t know. My uncle had a unique sense of humor.
