V/H/S HALLOWEEN

1
00:00:26,610 --> 00:00:29,450
I proclaim this the summer of
George.

2
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,320
All right, everybody, welcome to
the pod and the Pendulum and

3
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,800
Happy Halloween.
I'm your host, Mike Snooney.

4
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,400
And if you're listening in
Halloween, if you're listening

5
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,840
to this like you're going
through the back catalog and

6
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,680
it's like April 12th, you're
like, what do you mean Happy

7
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,440
Halloween?
Am I Rip Van Winkle?

8
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,000
Did I fall asleep?
No, you didn't.

9
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,000
You're just not listening on the
day we're dropping it.

10
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,520
So we are recording this like
super last second right now to

11
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,720
get like a really fun bonus
episode for you up and to get us

12
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,680
all caught up to speed on this
franchise.

13
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,040
But that means we can make like
no mistakes tonight because

14
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,800
there's going to be just about
no editing done on this episode.

15
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,880
So we got to like really nail
it, really be perfect.

16
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,920
So let me introduce my Co host.
First up from the Spectre Cinema

17
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,600
Club, you know whom is Mr. Devon
Kuyper.

18
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,840
Devon, how are we tonight?
Hello, hello.

19
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,280
Doing great, Mike.
Great.

20
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,400
Excited to be here.
Oh my goodness.

21
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:50,960
You nailed it.
Oh my God.

22
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,080
Can't believe it.
No, you know him.

23
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,240
You love him.
It's Mr. Steven.

24
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,440
Chewy Walrus Steven.
How are we this evening?

25
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,600
Doing great, Mike.
Happy to be here, happy to be in

26
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,520
on my second entry in this
franchise and I'm excited for

27
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,400
Halloween.
Boo, trick or treat, etcetera.

28
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,240
Excellent, excellent.
Also joining us just back from a

29
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,200
cross country trip this back
from the left coast.

30
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,640
She is the host of I almost said
Spectre Cinema Club.

31
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,800
She is the host of Bodies of
Horror, Miss Nicole Gobel.

32
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,640
Nicole, how are we?
We are doing good.

33
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:36,280
Very excited to be here and
talk.

34
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:41,640
I think this is the first of
this franchise that I've been on

35
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:46,240
for an app, so I'm very excited
to share my thoughts.

36
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,600
Excellent, excellent.
I'm excited to talk about.

37
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,440
We were just talking a little
bit off air and we almost

38
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:57,360
recorded like a whole episode's
worth of goods if we were to go

39
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,480
down that path before we hit the
record button.

40
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,360
So.
Thank goodness Nicole had the

41
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,800
foresight to say I don't want to
talk about it yet.

42
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,560
Hit record.
Yes.

43
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,920
Thank God for Nicole.
As we often say, yes.

44
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,120
For Nicole, that might as well
be the motto of the pon, the

45
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,320
pendulum.
Honestly, thank God for Nicole.

46
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:17,400
Yep.
So this is, you know, going to

47
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,440
be a little different from a lot
of our episodes.

48
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,320
Like there's really no
background information to go

49
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,320
over with this one.
Like it's really going to be

50
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,120
just like we're just going to
let it RIP and talk about our

51
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,000
thoughts on each segment and
maybe our thoughts in the movie

52
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,560
overall.
Again, just wanted to get a fun

53
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,880
Halloween day content up there
because we are nothing if not

54
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,240
like total sluts for SEO.
I mean, that's really what we

55
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,040
are like.
Correct I.

56
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,600
Think it was my wife who once
wore a shirt that said we'll

57
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,560
suck Dick for good SEO.
She did not say that and oh God,

58
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,760
I am not editing this episode at
all.

59
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,800
Foisted by his own petard,
everyone.

60
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,160
I am already fucked.
No cuts.

61
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,040
OK.
No doing it live.

62
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,280
Nothing whatsoever.
All right, so I don't want to

63
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,400
start now, I guess, because I
don't know what I'm going to

64
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,000
say.
It's been a loopy day.

65
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,279
It's been like an absolute like
loop.

66
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,600
I've told you a couple of things
I've said off air in

67
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,280
professional situations and the
reaction was like what the

68
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:28,800
Christ, like what the actual,
what were you thinking?

69
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,560
So.
Really the only reaction we

70
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,200
could have had.
Yeah, which understandable.

71
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,280
Can't blame you.
So I guess I'll ask like, what

72
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:39,920
are your when's the first time
you watch this?

73
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,000
Like, is it a recent watch?
I know it just came out, but

74
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,440
like, did we watch it before we
decided to record in this or we

75
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,720
like, Oh my God, we're
scrambling to get this in?

76
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:56,480
This is a remembering audio
format, so nodding the heads

77
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,600
doesn't necessarily.
Well, you can't hear that.

78
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,400
What?
You can't hear the rattling in

79
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,200
my skull as I shake and nod my
head.

80
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,680
There we go.
So, Steven, how Nicole, since

81
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,600
you haven't been on in a while,
why don't you kick things off?

82
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:17,640
Yeah, I watched this as soon as
we decided to do an episode.

83
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:24,240
I was actually going to hold out
and watch this tomorrow improper

84
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,720
because I've just been really
busy with travel stuff.

85
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:35,040
And so was like, this is going
to be so perfect because I work

86
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,720
from home, I don't really have a
lot of meetings.

87
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,000
So I am just going to vibe and
have this and many other films

88
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:49,240
on in the background.
And so I I moved it up a little

89
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,080
bit.
So last night in the hotel room,

90
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:58,800
I thank God for the Grand Hyatt
in San Francisco and their

91
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:06,400
Chromecast ability to, you know,
broadcast what you're watching

92
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,720
and not the channels in the
hotel.

93
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:19,480
So yeah, I watched it and woo,
lots of feelings on this in

94
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,080
comparison to the others.
OK.

95
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,240
And are you a fan of the series
in general?

96
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,000
I am a fan of some of the
series.

97
00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:29,240
OK.
Specifically.

98
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,640
How do you feel about it since
Like Shudder has taken it over?

99
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,120
And it's always been a bloody
disgusting production.

100
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,440
But how do you feel about it
since, Like, Shudder has taken

101
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,120
it over?
You know, I think the, I will

102
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:49,120
say that I think the quality of
the shorts overall I think is

103
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,440
very strong.
OK.

104
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,360
You know, like if you watch
something like the ABC's of

105
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,640
Death.
And why would you?

106
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,520
Well.
I did.

107
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:05,160
You too.
And I will say, like the quality

108
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:11,200
across those is wild because you
have some that are just like,

109
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:16,920
what is this?
And then you have some that are

110
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,640
very, very strong.
And obviously it's a lot of

111
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,400
them.
So they're very, very short.

112
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:28,400
So I think, you know, in terms
of the BHS franchise, I really

113
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:34,400
like that they are very curated
in terms of like what the theme

114
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,400
is and all of that.
Like I, I do like that they set

115
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,400
that up.
And I think that Shutter has

116
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:47,080
done a really great job at
making sure that that quality

117
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,000
stays consistent.
Sometimes I do wonder like how

118
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,680
often do we need a new BHS?
You know, do we want to wait for

119
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,000
someone to really make like a, a
different kind of mark on the

120
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:07,640
down footage landscape and then
do something there and kind of

121
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:12,280
go in slightly different
direction where you have one

122
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,320
director that's maybe like
spearheading it?

123
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:21,640
I know we kind of do that with
the, with kind of like the

124
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,840
interludes here, but I don't
know.

125
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,280
I, I will say though, that this
surprised me because I was like,

126
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,320
I don't know if I'm going to
like it.

127
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:38,080
I mean, I, I was surprised.
Do you guys hear my Chihuahua

128
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,919
barking?
I was going to say, it sounds

129
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:41,440
like Twinkie's got some
thoughts.

130
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:45,480
Twinkie has some Twinkie.
Oh my God, she's so adorable.

131
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,640
I love her so much.
She's such a good girl.

132
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:52,840
I will share pictures of her and
my queen Lacy.

133
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,000
Just them sitting on the bed
together.

134
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Just totally regal.
Just yeah, the best I, you know,

135
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,920
I when you mentioned like AB CS
of Death, I thought for a second

136
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,600
of like another Halloween
anthology, like Tales of

137
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,440
Halloween, which came out
probably around, I want to say

138
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,160
2015, maybe later, earlier than
that.

139
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,800
And that's one that like like AB
CS of Death, like the quality

140
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,440
is, it varies.
Like there are some really great

141
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,760
ones, but it's really front
loaded.

142
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,400
Like you watch Tales of
Halloween and for the 1st 30

143
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,080
minutes you're kind of like, is
this better than trick or treat?

144
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,280
And then you're like, oh, it
absolutely is not like it's

145
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,840
really, really front loaded.
Yeah.

146
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,720
Like this is like the first
Halloween anthology I can think

147
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,840
of since that or trick or treat.
That is OK.

148
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,760
Really left any sort of mark on
me.

149
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,200
Steven, how about yourself like
overall, what would you say like

150
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,080
your like opinion is of like
this as a franchise?

151
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:03,040
So I guested on the first VHS
episode or had shared hosting

152
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,560
duties or however you want to do
that.

153
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,520
And then I was going to do a
yes, and I was going to do a

154
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,880
later entry in the franchise as
well.

155
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,640
And then I didn't do that.
So this is actually the second

156
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,600
VHS film that I've seen.
OK.

157
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,960
So I don't know that I really
have an opinion on the franchise

158
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,640
overall.
I don't know that I'm qualified

159
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,400
to proffer an opinion on the on
the franchise overall.

160
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,760
But I will say I've had, I've
had fun with both of them.

161
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,880
Again, I feel like there's high
and low points.

162
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:45,880
I question the editor's ability
to put together a an anthology

163
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,320
in a way that rises and falls in
an effective way.

164
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:54,400
I feel like the the the cardinal
rule of any kind of anthology is

165
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,640
you want to start strong, you
want to finish strong and maybe

166
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,080
put like your worst thing second
usually.

167
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,960
Oh, OK.
Yeah, you, you start with your I

168
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,960
had a a buddy who was a high
school choir teacher and

169
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,080
whenever he was like putting
together concerts, he's like,

170
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,960
you put your best thing for or
your best thing last, your

171
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,200
second best thing first and your
absolute worst thing second.

172
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,360
He goes.
That's how you organize like

173
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,920
anything.
And I was like, that makes a lot

174
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,480
of sense that way.
You're starting strong, you're

175
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,960
ending strong, you're starting
with your best, the strongest

176
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,280
thing you have.
You're ending with the strongest

177
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,800
thing you have.
You're starting with the second

178
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,680
strongest thing, and you're
getting your worst thing out of

179
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:34,920
the way as soon as possible.
And honestly, this one, I think

180
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,200
kind of fits that mold a little
bit, a little.

181
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,520
Bit too.
OK, I do think it does too.

182
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,600
Like that's that's why I was
like, oh, OK, because I think it

183
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,400
kind of does that.
I don't think Nicole agrees, but

184
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,200
I'm anxious to, to, to, to, to
discuss this further anyway.

185
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:55,840
But like the organization, the,
it, the, the beginning, I think

186
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,720
it does.
I don't know that it ends on its

187
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,440
strongest note.
I will say that.

188
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,360
Well, let's fight.
That's what I will say.

189
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,080
Let's fight.
Let's do it, Mike.

190
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:08,360
My goodness I I just rewatched
the last segment like literally

191
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:13,320
10 minutes before sending the
link to record and it fills my

192
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,160
heart with so much love and joy.
I feel like the Grinch and

193
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,720
Christmas morning when he's
hearing everybody from Whoville

194
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,640
sing.
I just like it really.

195
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,960
In fairness, that is a very mic
coated segment.

196
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,400
It really is.
It really is just for the fact

197
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,720
that it has Rick Baker like
slagging his neighbor for the

198
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,240
effects like.
For how cheap the effects look,

199
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,440
it's perfect.
What a great joke.

200
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,560
I mean, it's just, I don't know.
And I feel like I have been both

201
00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:48,200
like Zach the kid and Keith the
dad at various points in my

202
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,640
life.
But we'll get to that.

203
00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:53,000
I guess.
Let's start with the let's start

204
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,000
with the prologue.
Let's start with like the

205
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,160
interstituals that kind of cut
throughout the movie.

206
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:05,200
Diet Phantasma, directed and
written by Brian M Ferguson, a

207
00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:07,920
filmmaker that I'm not super
familiar with.

208
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:13,600
It looks like he's mostly been a
music video director for bands

209
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,240
like Garbage and Arab Strap and
a few others.

210
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,400
So I can't say that I am super
familiar with his work.

211
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:26,800
But I think if anything, like
the weakest part of the VHS

212
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,600
series is typically been the
interstitials like the ones that

213
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,240
kind of how you weave in and
out.

214
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,280
And I wonder how this worked for
y'all and I guess the colds you

215
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:42,480
want to give the setup of this
whole segment as a whole.

216
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:51,520
Yeah, so we basically just start
off in a lab and it's kind of

217
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,200
like a focus group slash Guinea
pig.

218
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,560
Scenario.
Where people have signed up to

219
00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:05,000
basically taste test this new
soda called Diet Phantasm.

220
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:13,880
And so you have kind of the
leader of kind of the crew there

221
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,360
along with all the people who
are monitoring things.

222
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:22,920
And so they start bringing
people in and let's just say

223
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:28,520
that the reactions to the soda
vary, but it all usually ends in

224
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:34,200
lots of goo and blood and keep
the cold pipe prong thingies

225
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,840
coming out of cans and adhering
to people.

226
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:44,000
And it's interesting, I think
the one thing and you said this,

227
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,560
I think really perfectly.
I usually do.

228
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:55,200
Which is about like the couldn't
the framing this, and this is

229
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,080
one of the, this is obviously
like the framing piece because

230
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:02,760
we go back to this repeatedly.
They're wanting to release this

231
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,640
soda right on Halloween, and so
they're trying to find someone

232
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:12,360
that has a certain reaction to
it, which is basically mind

233
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:17,240
control zombie to be in the
commercial and basically spout

234
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:22,360
the talking points, which I
actually found humorous and kind

235
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:27,440
of a sociological way.
But the thing that was lacking,

236
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:32,040
if this is going to be something
that we go back to, I really

237
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,520
would have liked more, like
more.

238
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,040
You could have explored it a
little bit more.

239
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,560
You could.
Have more variety in each

240
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,200
segment.
Exactly.

241
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,160
More variety and you could have
understood what the motives of

242
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:48,360
the company were a little bit
more just because that's not

243
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,440
clear.
I mean, you know that you need

244
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,200
to have it.
They're obviously a really

245
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,320
fucked up company and that's
just the foundation.

246
00:15:55,360 --> 00:16:00,160
But you know, it reminds me a
lot of like Shamrock from

247
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,240
Halloween.
Season.

248
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,720
Of the witch.
Yeah, that's a good point.

249
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:11,120
And I really like that we know
more about the Shamrock court

250
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,320
and the leader and why they are
doing this.

251
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,080
And you don't get that here.
And I feel like that that was

252
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,920
lacking.
But I like the effects.

253
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,080
I, I don't know.
I just, for me it, like you

254
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:31,120
said, it gets very repetitive
and I'm like, I was going to

255
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,720
drink the soda and stuff is
going to come out of their face

256
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:38,320
and then they die and then we
get squeegee people coming in to

257
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,080
clean.
You got it.

258
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,320
Just looks like a perfect
Tolkien dwarf with glasses just

259
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,400
coming in to clean up after
every single one of.

260
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:47,760
Them.
You know what those people

261
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,040
needed?
They needed a friend.

262
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,480
Like our friend.
It's a trap.

263
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,240
They needed an Admiral Ackbar
there to tell these 4

264
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,440
participants that they were
walking into a trap and that's

265
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,840
what they didn't have.
I will say though, I love we

266
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,119
start off with adults coming in
and then we start to get the

267
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:11,440
kids and that's like, oh, we're.
Gonna yes, yes, I am for that.

268
00:17:12,839 --> 00:17:15,480
It's funny too, like you
mentioned the sociological

269
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,839
aspect of it.
It's set in 1982.

270
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,640
And if you're of a certain age
and I've looked at the

271
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:26,000
demographics of our show and it
skews a bit older, we need to

272
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,480
find a way to appeal to the
quote UN quote kids.

273
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,920
How do you do the fellow?
Kids, yes, hello fellow kids.

274
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:40,800
Would you like to do some drugs?
So I've got riz and drip and all

275
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:46,080
that. 67 AM I right?
Don't know that's where I draw

276
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,200
the line.
Oh my God, that's I yelled at

277
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,360
kids at a haunt we went to
recently because first they

278
00:17:54,360 --> 00:17:57,880
tried to cut us in line.
So I got in front of them and

279
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,920
I'm like, all right, you little
creeps, I'm getting in front of

280
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,240
you because you're not taking.
And they were like, Jesus, we're

281
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,120
12.
And then I said, and another

282
00:18:06,120 --> 00:18:10,440
thing, if you sit here and yell
6-7 the whole time, we're in

283
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,080
line.
So help you God.

284
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,520
Well, now you're just inviting
them to do it, Mike.

285
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,840
No, they did not.
They did not say a word.

286
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,760
Every parent like applauded
around us.

287
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:27,400
They were like, this is great.
So but this set in 1982, folks,

288
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,000
we're on one tonight, folks.
We are absolutely this is

289
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,800
probably I need notes, I need a
script set in 82.

290
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,960
It's the height of like the cola
wars.

291
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,720
And it's when Pepsi is running
these ads with like, the taste

292
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,760
test, the blank taste test,
where they would literally just

293
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,440
pull people off the street and
you would drink Pepsi or Coke.

294
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,200
And Pepsi was winning.
And that caused Coke to change

295
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,080
its formula.
And I think this is like right

296
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,440
around when Diet Coke was
introduced is, well, for the

297
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,640
first time.
Like, that wasn't a thing.

298
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,760
So it's fascinating that this is
when it's set as well.

299
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,280
Yeah, and I will.
I I'm glad that you framed it

300
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:10,640
like that too, because, you
know, we don't really get those

301
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,640
commercials anymore where people
are doing like the blind tasting

302
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,000
of sodas.
I remember those growing up

303
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:22,080
whenever there was like a new
saying that either Coke or Pepsi

304
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:26,280
or even some of the other
brands, they would have like saw

305
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:31,600
people in a mall and antiquate
it more and they would be like

306
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,320
taste of soda.
And it, I mean, you're not in

307
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,640
the laboratory, but it has that
same kind of feel.

308
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:43,600
And I, I, I kind of liked that
setup.

309
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,120
But again, I just wish it would
have like, because we're really

310
00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:49,960
digging into it a little bit
more, we're coming back to it

311
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,200
and because we are in a slightly
different setting, I would have

312
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,960
liked more.
Yeah.

313
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,040
Because it's the framing device,
I don't mind that it lacks the

314
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:04,360
narrative cohesion of some of
the other ones because it is,

315
00:20:04,360 --> 00:20:07,920
again, it's something that we're
getting in between all the other

316
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,160
pieces.
And so that that doesn't bother

317
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,320
me as much.
And I I had a lot of fun.

318
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,280
With the effects and I liked how
there were slight variations

319
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,960
like there was the you know the
guy who got his you know tongue

320
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,240
stuck in the in the in the can
and it got ripped off and the

321
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,960
the tentacles would like fly out
of the can and like grab their

322
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,880
faces.
One guys head just explodes like

323
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,480
scanners like there there is
some variety in the kills there,

324
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,880
which I think is a lot of fun
and again, I basic I mean it's

325
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,560
1982.
It's in the height of the cola

326
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,840
wars and yes, Mike, apparently
Diet Coke, according to

327
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,600
Wikipedia, was unveiled on July
8th, 1982.

328
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:46,720
So tis the season.
Look at you and your your Gen.

329
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:51,920
X knowledge coming to avail you.
But it's also, you know, it's,

330
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,280
it's, it's the Reagan Reagan
era, it's it's Reaganomics, it's

331
00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:00,600
consumerism, it's deregulation,
It's, it's all of this shit

332
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,560
happening at the same time.
And so like I'm, I'm reminded a

333
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,240
lot of Larry Cohen's of the
stuff while I'm watching this,

334
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,320
where it's like, hey, this thing
will kill you and we don't

335
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,320
fucking care.
We just want to make it as

336
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,160
baseline safe.
And I'm using heavy air quotes

337
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,440
there listener as possible so
that we can mass market it.

338
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,640
And then who the fuck cares
about the consequences?

339
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,360
This shit's all deregulated
anyway.

340
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,840
So like, that's the kind of the
vibe I got out of it.

341
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,680
And so for that, I, I really, I
was kind of vibing with it.

342
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,800
I, I really kind of dug this
segment quite a bit.

343
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,360
I I think I enjoyed it, maybe
more than than the rest of you,

344
00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:36,760
but I had a good time with this
one.

345
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,320
I I didn't hate it like I
thought it was much better than

346
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,840
some of the other framing
segments at some of them and a

347
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,920
couple of the movies have like
abandoned them completely.

348
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,320
Like they were not even going to
bother having a framing segment

349
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,760
in.
And what I did like like Tidden

350
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:57,760
Cole's point, like having it
really started to pick up when

351
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:02,280
like you see like the very
angelic looking young child go

352
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:08,440
in and he's got like the big
glasses and the tussled hair and

353
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:13,520
he's really cute scene adorable.
And he drinks the first can and

354
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,840
nothing happened.
I love when he's like this

355
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,200
smells horrible.
And you have like Doctor

356
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,160
Rothschild being like I told you
to put in the pumpkin spice

357
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,000
like.
Right.

358
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,000
That was like, the humor is
great.

359
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,280
And then it's like, OK, nothing
happened.

360
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:34,160
We need to up the ante.
And you don't even see the kid

361
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,520
drink it.
You just see the the tech bring

362
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,960
it in with a pair of tongs,
doesn't even want to handle it.

363
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,400
But then the next thing you hear
is this explosion and a bunch of

364
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,840
viscera hit the glass.
It's like, that's great.

365
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,040
Like that is fantastic.
Yeah.

366
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,840
I just, yeah, I do.
I couldn't wrap my head around

367
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,720
like, what are they trying to
do?

368
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,120
Like the first segment or two,
when you're watching it, you're

369
00:23:02,120 --> 00:23:07,080
like, OK, are they upset that
like there's that first segment

370
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,760
looks like he's getting attacked
by the creature from the thing

371
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,200
and right, that's what it really
looks like with the tentacles

372
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:15,040
coming out.
Yes.

373
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,160
And like, is that not the result
that they want?

374
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,680
Are they disappointed that these
people are dying?

375
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,040
Or is there something you really
didn't get a sense of what they

376
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,680
wanted?
See, and I think that that's

377
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,000
where I'm getting at with like
the lacking bit, like what,

378
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,840
what's the motivation?
Like what are they trying to do?

379
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:38,160
What is the desired like effect?
I think they get there with

380
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:44,040
that, but like, you know, are
they concerned that people are

381
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,440
dying like in any way, shape or
form?

382
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,200
Or are they expecting people to
die and just being like, what

383
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:56,480
if, you know, whoever, whoever
survives this soda day says ends

384
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:01,080
up in a commercial?
And so I, I just wish that that

385
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:06,320
would have, I mean, I think it
could have taken like 4 seconds

386
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,240
to add in something where you're
able to develop that a bit more.

387
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,600
I think we get some of that in
the mid credits scene where

388
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,720
they're like, it's made from
actual ghosts and you're like,

389
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,840
oh, they're trying to possess
the populace like that.

390
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,440
And the only one that was
successfully possessed is the

391
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,440
little girl who can attest.
It's scary how good it tastes

392
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,360
like I, I, I don't know, I, I
just, I just took for granted

393
00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:34,000
that that was the, the end goal,
that obviously there's something

394
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,840
sinister.
It's a corporation in the 80s.

395
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,440
Obviously they're up to no good,
but, you know, to what degree

396
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,240
and what the.
Yeah, right.

397
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,760
Yeah.
Citizens United.

398
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,920
What?
Yeah, you're right.

399
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,040
No, it is the time of like
Reagan basically saying, why

400
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:56,240
should we have any regulations?
You know, like, and that's when

401
00:24:57,120 --> 00:25:00,360
I mean, when you think of all
the cartoons we loved during the

402
00:25:00,360 --> 00:25:07,160
80s, He man Transformers, GI
Joe, Care Bears, they're just

403
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,200
commercials for action figures.
Correct.

404
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:13,800
And I hate to say it, it was
better.

405
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:20,000
It was a better time.
Showing your hand there, Mike,

406
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,080
but OK, yeah.
You know I mean.

407
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,440
We I, for one, welcome our
corporate overlords.

408
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:32,000
What would you prefer to come
home to every day like He Man

409
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,920
and GI Joe back-to-back every
day after school or whatever

410
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,080
slop they're churning out now on
AI?

411
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:48,240
Well, I mean, if my choice is a
30 minute toy commercial or AI,

412
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,360
I'm going to take the fucking
toy commercial.

413
00:25:50,360 --> 00:25:52,720
Mike, come on.
It's like the kids aren't coming

414
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,840
home to Kurosawa is all I'm
saying.

415
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,720
You know, like No 10 year.
Old, but they should be.

416
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,600
Going like I can't wait to throw
on Rashomon, you know, which

417
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,200
would be.
There's probably a really lame

418
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,760
10 year old out there somewhere
who loves Kurosawa.

419
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:12,160
I'm kidding.
Wait, Nicole?

420
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,120
Nicole was like, I was
introduced to Kurosawa at 10.

421
00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:18,720
Damn it.
No, I love Kurosawa.

422
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,200
No eyes, do I?
But not at 10.

423
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:28,400
OK, what's a very young age, 13?
So that's not. 10 It's not ten.

424
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:31,360
But it's.
Whoa.

425
00:26:31,360 --> 00:26:33,720
It's the principal Mike and I I
can see.

426
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,320
But at 13, that's like 1/4 of
your life.

427
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,640
Do you know what I mean?
Like between 10 and 13.

428
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,640
That's like me being introduced
to it when I'm like 70 is what

429
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,760
I'm saying.
But I have a shortened lifespan,

430
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,680
so that's different.
Oh God, OK.

431
00:26:50,360 --> 00:26:54,120
You that is.
That is a mic drop moment, Mike.

432
00:26:54,120 --> 00:26:59,840
I just, you know, I got nothing.
You can't come back from that I.

433
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,960
Was working.
I had a graduate degree.

434
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:10,200
You were working in the mines.
Think I got the black lung pop.

435
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,640
You were walking to and from the
salt mines each day, uphill both

436
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,440
ways.
Barefoot in the snow.

437
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:24,640
Barefoot, OK, Should we move on
to our next segment?

438
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,400
Let's.
Do Written and directed by Anna

439
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,640
Slakovic.
I hope I'm pronouncing that

440
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:37,000
right, young director.
She her first feature I believe

441
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,880
is Appendage, which played
Sundance and was picked up by

442
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,920
Hulu in 2022.
I haven't seen it yet, but I

443
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,160
think I'm going to have to add
this to my like, let's watch

444
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:50,960
this before the end of the year
list.

445
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:56,240
And Steven, do you want to give
the kind of setup for Kuchi

446
00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:01,440
Kuchi Ku?
Sure, they're a couple of high

447
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,000
school girls who are getting
ready for their last night of

448
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,400
trick or treating.
Ever getting stoned out of their

449
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,720
minds, hot boxing baby masks
before they go trick or treating

450
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,640
and a bunch of kids pound on the
window, tell them that mommy's

451
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,240
going to get them because
they're too old for trick or

452
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,560
treating.
And they're like, OK, whatever.

453
00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:23,720
So they, you know, they go trick
or treating and, you know, get

454
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,600
various warnings and ignore them
and oh, there's a house that no

455
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,920
one's going to and it's very
large and hey, we'll go there

456
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,400
and get all the candy.
So they run out to get quote all

457
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:38,520
the candy and they, they decide
to walk into a house that's not

458
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,480
their own and immediately
discover there's no way out.

459
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:48,240
And you see, you hear laughing
voices, creepy faces peeking

460
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,680
from around corners saying
things like coochie, coochie

461
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:57,240
COO, etcetera.
And they come across a girl that

462
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,880
went missing last year who was
dressed as a cheerleader and her

463
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,840
face is all big and chubby like
a baby.

464
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,560
And then they come across a
grown ass man who's in a in a

465
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,840
diaper who also has a big old
chubby face.

466
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,240
And they're they're seeing these
pictures all around the room.

467
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:17,800
They realize that's the mommy
and she was like they see the

468
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,600
the bloody sign on the on the
wall that says he made me mommy.

469
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:26,560
And you realize this is a woman
who was likely forced into

470
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:34,560
marriage and probably assaulted.
And then as as we kind of go on,

471
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,000
not only is there no way out,
but there's no escape from their

472
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,600
fate.
And one of the girls gets turned

473
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:46,560
into a baby and the other one
just kind of resigns herself and

474
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:51,120
leans up against the mommy as
she sings a lullaby with her

475
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:59,480
multiple lactating teats, like 6
of them lined up like a dog's.

476
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:04,840
And she sings a little lullaby
as the camera as the footage

477
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,120
cuts out, and it's really effing
creepy.

478
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,520
So yeah, I was going to say what
are our overall thoughts?

479
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:20,200
Really effing creepy.
I, I like this one a lot.

480
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:26,040
Also, I think we what's
interesting about this entry,

481
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:30,360
and I haven't watched some of
them in quite some time, so I

482
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,520
don't have like a full-fledged
recollection.

483
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:38,160
But I think, you know, with this
being kind of our first earnest

484
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:45,960
like anthology piece, one thing
that I found really interesting

485
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:50,600
is that we start to like looking
back at the end, we're getting

486
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:55,200
little Easter eggs of connective
tissue in all of them.

487
00:30:55,320 --> 00:31:02,560
And I don't think that's been a
staple in all in previous VHS

488
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:07,360
entry.
So I was like, I kind of like

489
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:12,120
how they sewed some of this
together kind of Easter eggy,

490
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,560
very good.
But I really liked this one

491
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,760
there.
It was very barbarian in.

492
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:24,600
Very much.
And that was upsetting.

493
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:31,000
I absolutely.
The one thing that aggravates me

494
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:35,920
with shorts, like shorts like
this in general is that you

495
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,720
really can't give, you know,
like, characters like our two

496
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,720
main protagonists that we're
following in the house, Once

497
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:49,720
they get in, they just have a
setup to be annoying and

498
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,000
assholes.
And so on one hand, you're just

499
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,600
like, I don't like, yeah, they
were warned about it.

500
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,640
Go to fucking town on them
because I'm over it.

501
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,880
And oh, you could escape, but
you want to take a fucking nap?

502
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:12,360
Well, bye.
I think the idea is it's not

503
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,320
that they want to take a nap.
It's like when that music plays

504
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,920
like it lulls them.
But.

505
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,000
It's definitely a magical.
Starting to work.

506
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:23,720
Fighting it, they're just like.
Right, No, I.

507
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:25,760
Need to lay down.
I'm like, no you don't.

508
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,320
Maybe there's some Red Bull in
that teaching You don't know.

509
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:34,720
Go find some.
I mean, we've got like 5 other

510
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,840
segments to cover in this in
this movie, Nicole.

511
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,880
Like they have to give up at
some point.

512
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,720
Yeah.
I think this one would have

513
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,400
probably been best suited for
feature length, honestly.

514
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,480
Of all the of all the various
segments maybe?

515
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,760
Because there's enough lore
there to kind of explore with

516
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,000
like the Mummy.
I really dug a night Nicole.

517
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,360
I completely agree.
Like the limited amount of time

518
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,480
you spend with like Laci and
Kaylee outside of the home, like

519
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,920
there's not like a lot of great
stuff there to offer.

520
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:11,040
Like they go to one house and
they like swipe at the candy,

521
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,320
they ring the doorbell and the
guys like, aren't you too old

522
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:14,960
for this?
Now?

523
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:19,360
To me, dude, who cares that
they're too old to trick or

524
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,000
treat?
Like let them have fun.

525
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:25,520
Like the world is shitty enough,
but then they like immediately

526
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,880
run up and steal candy from a
kid in front of their parents.

527
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:34,520
And I will share a story here
like the year of COVID Halloween

528
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,480
when we were they did let us
trick or treat.

529
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,520
I took my daughter to this
really cool neighborhood where

530
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,000
like they really do it up in our
town.

531
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,960
It's kind of isolated and it's
easy to get around.

532
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:51,480
And this kid who went to the
school that I interned at as a

533
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:55,440
school counselor and I knew him
and spoke to him a few times

534
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,760
that he wasn't a regular.
He ran up to my daughter and he

535
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,600
scared her in a mask, which is
fine.

536
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,120
It's Halloween.
You do that once.

537
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,920
But that she reacted.
But as soon as like she he saw

538
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,760
her react, he kept trying to
scare her and she was like stop

539
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,360
and he wouldn't.
And then he ran away and I went

540
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,760
after him and, like, go shot in
his face.

541
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,239
I'm like, you're going to go
back and you're going to

542
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:22,880
apologize to my daughter because
she's 10 and you're not going to

543
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:27,199
be a creep.
And he did, you know, so if

544
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,120
anyone ever stole candy from
her, I would probably break

545
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,320
their hands.
Like as a dad, I would be like,

546
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,639
it's go time.
I'm rolling up the sleeves.

547
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,360
And because that Kit Kat, I'm
going to be eating some of that

548
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,440
when she gets sick of it.
Just saying.

549
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:48,760
I grew up in a really like I
grew up in a rural area and so

550
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:54,880
our trick or treating was a very
small town and it I think looks

551
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,800
it it my experiences with trick
or treating is very different

552
00:34:58,840 --> 00:34:59,480
than.
What kind?

553
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:01,800
Of the visual representation.
Is.

554
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,360
Yeah, but what?
What was it like?

555
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:06,920
Like what was the what was it
like?

556
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,960
So it's just like we live in a
rural kind of like farm towns.

557
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,160
So very far apart.
Very far apart.

558
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:19,880
We did go to another town where
my grandparents lived and we

559
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,840
trick or treated there and that
was a little bit more

560
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:22,720
neighborhood.
Sure.

561
00:35:24,240 --> 00:35:31,400
But yeah, we, I, I think that,
you know, I never had that

562
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,360
experience of someone like
trying to steal candy besides,

563
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,600
like, my older sister.
Like when I would come home,

564
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,640
she'd be like, oh, thank you so
much.

565
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,360
Please.
I really am excited about him,

566
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:49,760
which is fine, but I yeah, it's
just for me, I think, you know,

567
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:54,480
going back to what I think is
like an epic time tested,

568
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,840
absolutely perfect anthology is
trick or treat.

569
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,160
And I love that you frame kind
of like the rules of trick or

570
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,160
treating.
And I would have liked that, you

571
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:08,880
know, because that's part of the
Easter eggs, part of like a, a

572
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,600
sewed together piece.
I would have liked some of like,

573
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:17,600
well, why are like these people
kind of being targeted?

574
00:36:18,240 --> 00:36:22,160
Like why were these two girls
obviously picked out to come to

575
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:27,680
this house and be new babies?
Yeah, You kind of wonder if like

576
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:33,000
every like the babies that we
see, like every year, are those

577
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,800
the bad kids?
Are those the teenagers that are

578
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,720
out messing up?
And how what's weird about

579
00:36:38,720 --> 00:36:43,080
Halloween is it starts as a
little kids holiday and then

580
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:48,600
around like I'd say 15, you kind
of outgrow it, you know what I

581
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,040
mean?
Like there's a stretch between

582
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:54,720
like 13 to maybe like early 20s
where it's not a big deal.

583
00:36:54,720 --> 00:36:57,560
And then when you're an adult,
it becomes a big deal again.

584
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,240
And like Lacey and Kaylee are at
that weird kind of like in

585
00:37:01,240 --> 00:37:05,320
between age.
And we don't know what they're

586
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,400
like the rest of the year.
Like so this is just them

587
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,320
cutting loose like the one night
a year you're supposed to be

588
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:15,160
able to do that.
I will say what I love about

589
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,720
this.
Like first you see the arm

590
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,280
coming through the door with the
basket of candy and the coochie

591
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,600
coochie COO.
And you're like, oh, that's

592
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,320
creepy.
And that works.

593
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,800
Like that's so enticing.
Like you're either going to be

594
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,160
like, Nope, there's no chance in
hell I would ever do anything

595
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,640
like that.
Or you're like, oh, I'm 100% in.

596
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:40,320
Let's go, let's go do this.
Nicole, where do you fall on

597
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:44,160
this?
Oh, I I really do love that

598
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,080
setup.
I also love that when you see

599
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:52,080
the like the arm and then
obviously the name tip over the

600
00:37:53,600 --> 00:38:03,040
the little pumpkin and you see
Oombebe a very small feet eye.

601
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,680
I I really love that.
I love that it just lets you

602
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:13,560
like linger on this figure and
it's not rush you don't have

603
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:18,000
it's not jump scary.
It's just really unsettling,

604
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,760
unnerving.
And I would have been like all

605
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,040
in.
I would have been like, oh, I'm

606
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:25,640
gonna let's go like this is
wild.

607
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:30,440
Yeah.
And to me, it when they're going

608
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:35,200
through the house, the way it's
staged and the way it's set up

609
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,480
and the way that like the
production design of it, it

610
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:44,480
looks like one of the coolest,
creepiest, like haunts you could

611
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,200
go through.
Like you would pay.

612
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,440
Like we talked about, we didn't
talk about.

613
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:53,400
I think I've like mentioned off
the air, like as much as I love

614
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,680
Hell House LLC, I love that
movie so much.

615
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,560
The actual haunt that you would
pay to go through sucks.

616
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,960
Like it's so bad.
Like it's not worth the money.

617
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,880
No wonder why Alex was losing
his shirt.

618
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:13,120
This you would pay like $40 to
go through it.

619
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,840
Like like you mentioned the
pictures, like the news, like

620
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,240
the way it's set up like it
looks scary as fuck.

621
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,560
It is so cool and that's what I
love him.

622
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,000
I feel like I'm going through
like a really cool funhouse fun.

623
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:30,040
And I'll say that like when the
baby man appears like the first

624
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,800
time you see the dude in the
diaper.

625
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:38,360
I had to pause this.
I had to pause it because I was

626
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:42,280
laughing and clapping.
I was laughing so hard because

627
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:46,280
it's like, now, granted, if that
was put in front of me in real

628
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:50,440
life, I, I would absolutely need
to borrow a few of his diapers.

629
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:55,400
I'd shit myself.
But look, it wouldn't take that

630
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,200
to get me to shit myself.
OK?

631
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:02,600
Let's just, you know, I was
laughing so hard I couldn't help

632
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,200
it.
I was just in hysterics with how

633
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,800
much I was enjoying just that
visual.

634
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,960
Now this one this this one from
top to bottom just creeped me

635
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:17,720
the fuck out.
I was so deeply unsettled

636
00:40:17,720 --> 00:40:21,080
through all of this, to the to
the to the, to the point where I

637
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,240
think this might be my least
favorite of the segments.

638
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,920
I it's good.
Like I, I get it's, it's good,

639
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:32,120
but I just don't enjoy it.
Like it was very unsettling for

640
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:36,040
me.
Sure, the assault connotation,

641
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:42,240
the the suicide, all of that
kind of just like like and and

642
00:40:42,240 --> 00:40:45,640
again, everything is like
greasy, gross, dirty and I'm

643
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:50,520
just like I'm I and, and when I
see the baby man, I'm I'm just

644
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,800
like fuck, Nope, Nope, Nope,
Nope, Nope, Nope, Nope, Nope,

645
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:54,800
Nope.
Don't want that.

646
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,200
Like I'm having the exact
opposite.

647
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,320
Like I'm curling up like my
entire body is recoiling onto

648
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,920
the couch because I'm just like
I no thank you.

649
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:04,760
No, no, no, no thank you.
How do you?

650
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:10,160
How do you think our respective
partners would react if like, we

651
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:14,520
decided to change up the bedroom
routine a little bit and showed

652
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:18,200
up in our outfit on in that
outfit unannounced one night?

653
00:41:18,720 --> 00:41:23,080
Like what would your partner's
reaction be?

654
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,040
I think my wife would be a
little into it.

655
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:30,680
I think she'd be like.
It's I think she'd be like this

656
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:34,120
is this is weird, but if this is
what you're into, I guess.

657
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,400
I'd love that for you too.
See it.

658
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,360
Just want to say I love that for
you too.

659
00:41:39,720 --> 00:41:41,800
You want to bring her on and ask
her like just.

660
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:43,520
I would.
I do not, no.

661
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,720
OK, fair.
Being being part of the King

662
00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:49,480
community, Yeah.
King Shame No.

663
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:53,080
No shaming.
Yeah, you just got to let it go

664
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:54,800
and.
Be there's no shape, just love.

665
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:56,200
Just, you know.
Exactly I'm.

666
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:58,600
Down like, what?
What?

667
00:41:58,800 --> 00:41:59,880
What do we do?
Yeah.

668
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,080
How is this factoring in?
Because.

669
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,320
Right.
Just because someone shows up in

670
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,360
a diaper, don't make any
assumptions.

671
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:12,680
You got to layout specifics.
Open communication, vital and

672
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:16,400
important, particularly in the
world of kinks.

673
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,000
So yeah.
I think the thing that creeped

674
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:24,640
me out the most was when the
Mummy character like squeezes.

675
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:29,360
I think it's Casey so tight that
you hear the ribs crack and then

676
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,960
she's just like done at that
point.

677
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,280
Like that is what got me more
than because that's an audible

678
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,120
crack and you're like, oh,
that's not good.

679
00:42:37,720 --> 00:42:40,800
Oh yes.
I do want to say it played by a

680
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:46,200
newcomer, Laci's played by
Samantha Cochran, and this is

681
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:50,480
like her I think maybe first or
second on screen role.

682
00:42:52,240 --> 00:42:55,280
I think she might be one of the
most strikingly beautiful women

683
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,760
I've ever seen in a movie.
Like she is just wow.

684
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,520
I'm just pointing that out,
that's all.

685
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,640
Right on.
Yeah, I, I'm glad that you

686
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,560
mentioned the the rib craft,
though, because I think there's

687
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:13,120
something that's really going to
the like unsettling, unnerving,

688
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:20,160
disturbing element of this.
You know, it's being harmed in

689
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:25,960
an act of care, right?
When you hug someone so tightly

690
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:33,720
that they snap and so I that
just adds like that extra look

691
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:38,600
to it.
And I, I really think that

692
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:45,120
there's a lot of attention paid
to kind of like that escalating

693
00:43:45,240 --> 00:43:48,480
ick factor and I appreciated
that.

694
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,560
Yeah, same.
Should we move on to the next

695
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,320
segment?
Let's do OK.

696
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:58,560
This is OOTS supra Sick Infra
written by Paco Plaza and

697
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:03,840
Alberto Marini and directed by
Paco Plaza who is 1/2 of the

698
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:10,800
team behind Rec Rec one in Rec 2
and I don't remember if he

699
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:14,400
directed Rec 3 or 4.
He directed Rec 3.

700
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:18,800
OK, the good sequel.
The good sequel, Got it.

701
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:27,880
OK, did he also do Sleep Tight?
I don't think that was him.

702
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:32,800
He did do Veronica which
literally the day after I

703
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,560
watched this one of my Co
workers is like hey have you

704
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:35,960
seen Veronica?
You should check that out.

705
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:37,920
OK, it's very.
Good.

706
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:39,960
So it's very.
That's what I've heard.

707
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:41,480
Yeah, it is actually very good.
OK.

708
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,240
Nicole, do you want to give the
rundown on this short?

709
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:52,440
Sure.
So this short is very, I think

710
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:56,640
that this is kind of a slow burn
short.

711
00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:01,160
I feel we get flashbacks and
flash forwards.

712
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:09,640
We just see this man, this man
and his name is Enrique, and he

713
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:13,880
along with some friends, had
gone into this mansion where a

714
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:20,400
medium had lived previously.
And they're being LED through

715
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:24,640
the mansion and they get into
this room and there's a phone.

716
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,960
And it's just a phone sitting in
the middle of the room, very

717
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,840
black phone esque.
And it's like, well, it

718
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:33,400
shouldn't work.
But it starts ringing.

719
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:38,520
And Enrique is dressed up as I
guess like a firefighter EMT

720
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,640
type scenario.
And he's kind of fucking with

721
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:45,280
the group because the person
who's taking them through the

722
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:49,400
house, who's dressed up as a
nun, she's like, no, do not fuck

723
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:53,760
with this because this was not
here when I last went through.

724
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:57,960
So this ain't a prop that you
want to fuck with.

725
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:01,320
So let's just keep it moving.
And he is like, no, no, no, I'm

726
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,720
going to, like, dance on up to
it.

727
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:07,880
And then all shit gets hairy,
Carey.

728
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,880
And people die and are lifted up
and eyeballs are ripped out.

729
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:20,440
And then we are kind of seeing
intercepted with the story, a

730
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:24,280
flash forward where
investigators are taking

731
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:28,600
Internet who survived back to
this mansion to get information

732
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:33,440
on what happened.
And lo and behold, as they go

733
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:38,160
back to this room and they're
they're really kind of cruel

734
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:41,960
with him because at this point,
like you're really sympathetic

735
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:46,080
to this guy because he's seen
some really horrific shit.

736
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:51,120
And obviously PTSD scale is what
way high here.

737
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,720
And you know, he talks about his
stomach hurting and how he

738
00:46:54,720 --> 00:46:58,040
doesn't want to like he's just
having reactions.

739
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:04,040
And then, you know, they're kind
of like basically making him

740
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:07,520
like reenact certain moments
from this event.

741
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:11,960
Lo and behold there's phone and
he's like oh shit no answer it

742
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:16,200
and the woman investigator is
like lol I will.

743
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,320
And he's like, no, don't do it
like I told you, like this is

744
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:23,080
what fucked things up before.
And she's like, no, I just want

745
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,960
to see what's going on.
And then it just.

746
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:31,040
She might have been like the
random caller on a radio contest

747
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,520
where like I'm trying to win
Taylor Swift tickets.

748
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,200
Yeah, but it's not that.
It's not an.

749
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,000
Evil force that.
Was even worse, something even

750
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:43,240
more horrifying.
And so you get the same kind of

751
00:47:43,240 --> 00:47:47,840
scenario that you get with
party, which is everyone gets up

752
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:52,600
to the ceiling and they all get
flayed in eyeballs, ripped out.

753
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,560
The eyeball stuff really fucks
me up.

754
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:55,160
I.
Hate me too.

755
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,200
It's.
Gross and unpleasant.

756
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:06,280
I really liked this one a ton.
I love that we get that story to

757
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:12,680
it and that we're seeing kind of
this like progression of time

758
00:48:12,720 --> 00:48:15,480
and you're learning even though
we're not getting like a whole

759
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:20,000
fucking background of Enrich.
You're really sympathetic to him

760
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:24,080
and you're understanding like
this guy was real fucked up.

761
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:27,840
I will say, though, that also,
it seems that when he answered

762
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:32,760
the phone initially, he becomes
like possessed because when the

763
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:36,360
phone rings, when they are doing
it with the investigators, he's

764
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:42,320
the one that has the reaction.
So yeah, that is the recap.

765
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,120
I liked it.
Three out of five stars.

766
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:49,680
See, I I give it a three out of
five because I'm very high on

767
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:55,280
this movie, but I would say it's
the weakest of the segments for

768
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,760
me.
I love this.

769
00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:02,040
One this one.
I had so much.

770
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:04,480
This is my second favorite one
in the movie.

771
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,160
I'm really high on this one.
Yeah, absolutely.

772
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:09,800
I think it's first of all, it
looks incredible.

773
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,520
Like it.
Look, it's really, really well,

774
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,720
Well done.
And I, you know, I love the

775
00:49:15,720 --> 00:49:18,280
effects of it.
I mean, yes, the eyeball stuff

776
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,560
grosses me out, but the way that
it's, it's done is really

777
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:24,320
effective and cool.
I love the effect at the end

778
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:27,440
when everyone goes flying up
onto the ceiling and then the

779
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:30,480
camera falls and then you just
see all these bodies just come

780
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:34,120
crashing to the ground at once.
Like it's so cool.

781
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,440
I, I love the, the, the slow
build of it.

782
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:41,360
Again, like Nicole said, it's a
slow burn and I really kind of

783
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:44,800
love it for that.
The other one that in this

784
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:48,560
series that I like I think even
more than this one, is also kind

785
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:51,600
of a slow burn hint, wink,
nudge.

786
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:56,400
But like I just this one, it's
suitably creepy.

787
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,880
It's you know, the possession
ghost story thing.

788
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:03,520
You get to see the guy who's
been traumatized kind of through

789
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,680
possession, kind of get his
vengeance on the people that

790
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:11,480
have been fucking with him.
Like it's, I like this one a

791
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:13,160
lot.
I had a good time with this one.

792
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:17,840
I think I would have liked it
more if you took the flashbacks

793
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:21,240
out because I think it makes
this a bit redundant.

794
00:50:21,240 --> 00:50:24,680
I do agree the ending is really
strong.

795
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:27,040
I don't know if either of you
like.

796
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:30,440
There's a ride at Canopy Lake
that I like to go on.

797
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:34,040
It's called Turkish Twist where
like you go against the wall, it

798
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:37,160
spins really fast and then the
floor drops and you're pressed

799
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:40,280
against the wall.
It's like the zero gravity ride

800
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:44,160
in a fun part, right?
And that's what this end reminds

801
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:47,880
me of like that feeling of like
I want to move and I simply

802
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:51,400
can't and how scary that is.
And you combine that with like

803
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:55,240
the eye trauma of getting your
eyes plucked out, like that's

804
00:50:55,240 --> 00:50:58,720
really horrifying The.
Effect on that 1 is really cool

805
00:50:58,720 --> 00:51:02,320
also where I mean it's a close
up, basically a close up on her

806
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:06,160
face while he is pulling her
eyes out and it's really really

807
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:07,160
well done.
Yeah.

808
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:12,840
And I would say that this is
probably the one that if to me,

809
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:17,760
there's just a couple that I
feel big to be feature length.

810
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:22,280
And this is 1 for me.
Like definitely I want a feature

811
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:28,840
length of this now because it's
so interesting and I would love

812
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:33,560
to spend more time kind of in
that in between section of like,

813
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:39,000
you know, what happens right
after when the nook is taken in

814
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:41,280
and they're like, what the fuck
happened?

815
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:45,600
And I I would have loved all of
that, but I think what they gave

816
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:50,520
us gave us just enough story
that I was on the hook.

817
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:57,040
I really really, really OK.
Yeah, I think I love the ending

818
00:51:57,040 --> 00:52:01,160
of it.
I love the conceit of like the

819
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:06,560
phone that's not hooked up and
then you are just compelled

820
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,600
against your own good judgement.
Like that works for me.

821
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:17,480
I think that if you cut the the
way that it intercuts in and out

822
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:22,720
didn't quite quite work for me
overall, but it's still a pretty

823
00:52:22,720 --> 00:52:25,600
strong segment because of the
things that work for it.

824
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,160
So I don't have much more than
that.

825
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:30,920
If you guys have more please
like if you guys love this one.

826
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,560
I mean, it's kind of one of
those things like I it, I like

827
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:37,480
it to the extent that I'm like,
what can I say?

828
00:52:37,720 --> 00:52:39,120
It rules.
Like what do you want?

829
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:40,440
What do you want from me?
It's great.

830
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:43,880
This is 1 I want to watch again
and.

831
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:46,720
Again, OK.
Yeah, and I agree with you.

832
00:52:46,720 --> 00:52:50,120
I would absolutely watch a
feature length version of

833
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:51,680
something like this.
It doesn't even need to be found

834
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,680
footage honestly like I would.
I would watch a full a full film

835
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:59,800
of this for sure.
Well, the next segment hitting

836
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,120
right in the middle, hitting
that sweet spot.

837
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:07,440
This one is fun size written and
directed by Casper Kelly, who is

838
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:11,720
not really a a filmmaker per SE,
but he's done a lot of work in

839
00:53:11,720 --> 00:53:15,080
television, a lot of work with
the Cartoon Network.

840
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:20,520
So like Harvey Birdman, attorney
at law, Aqua teen, Aqua Teen

841
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:23,600
Hunger Force.
He also.

842
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:26,360
Cooks.
Yeah, I have not seen that, so

843
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:31,720
I'm not familiar with it.
It's really, it's pretty weird,

844
00:53:31,720 --> 00:53:35,120
OK?
I mean, you, you might like it.

845
00:53:35,720 --> 00:53:37,560
You might.
You very well might.

846
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:43,120
He also he's the guy that wrote
the Cheddar Goblin segment in

847
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:44,800
Mandy.
Your favorite?

848
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:47,160
Movie, right?
It's a good segment which the

849
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:51,200
Cheddar Goblin segment on its
own kind of rules.

850
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:56,440
So I can't really complain about
if it was like if Mandy was just

851
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,600
the Cheddar Goblin, it would be
amazing.

852
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:02,120
It would be a great movie.
So what you're saying is you

853
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:03,920
want feature length cheddar
goblin?

854
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:05,680
Oh.
My God, you don't.

855
00:54:08,240 --> 00:54:10,600
It's been so long since I've
seen Mandy, I don't know that I

856
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:12,400
remember Cheddar Goblin, to be
honest with you.

857
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:15,320
A.
Series of holiday themed movies

858
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:19,080
about the cheddar goblin like
cheddar goblin at Easter,

859
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:23,480
cheddar goblin at Memorial Day,
puking up Mac and cheese on

860
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:25,200
tombstones.
It's.

861
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:29,960
Labor Day, Cheddar Goblin.
What if they did a VHS next year

862
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:35,200
and it was all like horrific?
Like products.

863
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:39,360
Products gone bad.
Like VHS processed foods.

864
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:43,280
Well, that or it could be
anything and it's just like evil

865
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:49,840
commercial VHS consumerism.
VHS capitalism I watch.

866
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:54,080
There it is.
The cheddar goblin diet

867
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:56,400
Phantasm.
There's.

868
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:58,880
Like all of these things could
like be woven in.

869
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,760
I would actually find that that.
'D be cool from.

870
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,520
A psycho like a psychology
perspective I I.

871
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:06,280
Find that very.
Fascinating.

872
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:11,760
There's a guy on TikTok, not
TikTok on reels that I watch

873
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:14,720
which I guess is the same thing.
I was going to say.

874
00:55:14,720 --> 00:55:16,120
Which means he's probably from
TikTok.

875
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:22,040
Pretty much I Hey, fellow kids,
do you want to watch the, the

876
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:26,800
TikTok together?
So his thing, he's like like

877
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:30,680
slop food where like what he
does is he goes and he buys like

878
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:36,280
the cheapest, most processed
foods, like microwavable burgers

879
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:39,480
from the dollar store, for
example.

880
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:43,680
And he tests them out for like
how sloppy and gross they are

881
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:48,120
and how bad they taste and like,
it's really disgusting.

882
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:52,160
And yet I can't stop watching
them and look at that Kitty.

883
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:57,760
It's.
An adorable black and white

884
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:01,240
Kitty that's on that has jumped
off.

885
00:56:01,240 --> 00:56:05,480
He no longer wants to be part of
the show, OK.

886
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:09,320
But first he wanted nothing to
nothing more than to be on the

887
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:11,280
show, and then as soon as he was
on the show, he wanted nothing

888
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:17,160
more than to be off the show.
So Steven, why don't you give

889
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:22,480
the rundown of a fun size?
OK.

890
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:26,840
Is this your least favorite?
This other than coochie, coochie

891
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:28,520
COO Yeah, it is.
I don't.

892
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:30,640
I don't care for.
This one coochie coochie COO was

893
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:31,920
well done.
Just creep.

894
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,120
You up exactly.
I just don't think this one's

895
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:35,800
particularly well done if I'm
being very.

896
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:36,800
Honest, this would be your
second.

897
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:39,480
This would be your number.
Two, this is this.

898
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:45,120
Yeah, this is my #5 out of 6.
But you would place it #2 in the

899
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:49,080
running order like given your
like.

900
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:51,760
Yes, yes, correct.
Yes, that.

901
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,240
Absolutely.
That's where I would do that.

902
00:56:54,240 --> 00:56:56,400
Sorry.
I'm I and I've done so much math

903
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:58,160
today, Mike.
I don't want to do more math.

904
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:01,640
I'm gonna cry.
So on your spreadsheet column B.

905
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,040
Yes, exactly.
Fair enough.

906
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:06,960
There we go that now you're
talking my language.

907
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:11,400
No, this.
So there's a group of adults who

908
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:13,960
decide they leave an adult
Halloween party.

909
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,480
Not adult in that you know it's
an orgy, but adult in that it's

910
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:18,360
for grown-ups, you know for
grown-ups.

911
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:21,520
Why not?
So they leave in there like it's

912
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:23,360
true.
We, we pick up after so I have

913
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:28,000
no idea, but they decide that
there wasn't any candy, damn it,

914
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:29,320
and it's Halloween and we want
candy.

915
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:31,880
So they decide to go trick or
treating and they come across a

916
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:36,320
house that has, you know, the,
the, the take only one sign.

917
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:38,760
And so they, they reach in and
you know, they're like, oh, I've

918
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:40,600
never heard of these candies.
These are so weird.

919
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:45,160
And someone takes more than one
and the next thing you know he

920
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:47,200
is getting sucked into the candy
bowl.

921
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:50,600
And the next thing you know
they're all being sucked into

922
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:53,920
the candy bowl.
And they find themselves in a a

923
00:57:53,960 --> 00:58:00,640
candy warehouse being tormented
by a, a candy mascot like a king

924
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:04,440
with a large purple roundhead
who can only utter the words bum

925
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:09,520
size.
And eventually they all are

926
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:12,360
killed and turned.
And their body parts are they're

927
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:17,360
cut up and turned into candy.
One the the first guy that gets

928
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:22,000
cut up, you, you see his penis
ripped off and turned into a

929
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:24,440
chocolate coated nougat filled
candy bar.

930
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,360
And that invariably happens to
all of them.

931
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:31,000
And then one point.
One of the girlfriends utters

932
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:34,520
it's his balls, which is just
great.

933
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,720
And you see all of these things
being like coated with like

934
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:43,920
caramel and chocolate and
peanuts and it's, it's fucking

935
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:46,800
weird as hell.
And then eventually there's like

936
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:50,200
a a little person who's dressed
as a candy bar who joins fun

937
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:53,680
size to torment these people.
Eventually they all die.

938
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:55,920
One girl thinks she escapes and
then she turns around and

939
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:59,760
there's fun size who rips?
She's trying to remove the, the,

940
00:58:59,880 --> 00:59:03,960
the wedding ring that her fiance
gave her because she was trying

941
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:05,760
to end that relationship all the
time.

942
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:07,960
And then she's killed and ripped
apart.

943
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:12,600
And you see a, a kid, two kids
and their mom at the, at the

944
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:15,080
same house later.
And the kids like, Oh, this

945
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:18,080
candy's weird.
And it's, it's the girl's

946
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:19,960
finger.
And she's like, Oh my God, throw

947
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:21,680
that down.
And he's like, wait, I got

948
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:23,440
another one.
And then you see the bull come

949
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:27,320
to life and like come at the mom
and devour her.

950
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,320
And that's that's fun size,
everybody.

951
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:33,320
Once again, I would say what
those kids needed was a friend

952
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:34,960
like Admiral Akbar.
It's a crap.

953
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:37,000
Thank you, Admiral.
Really.

954
00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:39,640
We all need a friend like Akbar.
Let's be honest.

955
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:43,200
We need a friend like Akbar and
not a friend like George C

956
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:44,080
Scott.
Really.

957
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:48,160
No which?
Do you have the shortened

958
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:51,800
version or the full version and
the Oscar goes to?

959
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:55,400
That's OK, got to win this one
and I bribed everyone in

960
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:58,160
Hollywood.
George C Scott in man getting

961
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:11,240
hit by football.
Once again, still Brian's

962
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:14,560
greatest contribution to the
show.

963
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:18,560
Track suits be damned.
Track suits, knowledge, good

964
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:23,480
cheer, friendship, all that
secondary to George C Scott man

965
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:27,480
getting the groin by football.
I love this segment and it's

966
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:31,160
funny because it kind of
parallels the first one.

967
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:34,760
It's a group of like people that
are maybe a little too old for

968
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:37,520
Halloween.
Similar thing happens where an

969
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:39,560
adult is like, aren't you too
old for this?

970
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:43,040
And it's like, again, dude,
these kids though, like they're

971
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:45,200
not assholes.
Like, they're just like

972
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:49,960
overgrown children.
And The funny thing about this,

973
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:53,280
which you didn't mention in the
recap, there's this weird

974
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:59,120
subplot where like there's like
an engaged couple and the girl

975
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:03,160
clearly doesn't want to be
engaged and he is unaware of

976
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:06,320
this.
And throughout the segment, he

977
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:09,320
just refers to her as fiance
over.

978
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:12,680
He never uses her name.
It's just it's so weird and you

979
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:15,600
think it's going somewhere.
It really aside from the

980
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:19,600
engagement ring like it really
doesn't and that it tickles me

981
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:23,920
for some reason where you're
just like what if I just have

982
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:27,920
heard him keep referring to her
as fiance for no real reason

983
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:31,440
over and over and I kind.
Of and it's like fiance run.

984
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:34,360
Yes.
Come on, Beyoncé, let's go.

985
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:37,760
Even in situations where it's
absolutely absurd, he's he's

986
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:40,360
doing it.
I love this segment.

987
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:43,840
Like the special effects are
incredible.

988
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:47,680
I mean like you get one of the
weirdest deaths of all time in a

989
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:51,920
movie where one girl, the
cheerleader of the group, has a

990
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:56,080
tube that is filled with what
look like Skittles shoved up the

991
01:01:56,080 --> 01:02:01,040
poop shoot.
And then they are basically like

992
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:04,880
shot out of that tube at the
speed of light until they burst

993
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:08,840
out of her face, which doesn't
kill her, it just makes her

994
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:12,240
whole face explode.
And then she lies on the

995
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:17,000
conveyor belt and dies.
Like that to me is incredible. 7

996
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:20,840
stars out of six, no notes.
Love this so much.

997
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:25,840
I did not love it, but I
appreciated it.

998
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:29,800
I thought it was very obviously
it knew what it was doing.

999
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:36,120
From the beginning.
I the I here, I think you got a

1000
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:39,080
little bit more of the like
trick or treating lore was like

1001
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:41,640
bad things happen if you don't
take just one.

1002
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:48,480
So I appreciated that.
I liked the ick factor of like

1003
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:52,920
watching someone's body get
process and then covered with

1004
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:55,200
caramel.
I thought that was really funny

1005
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:58,520
and disgusting.
I also thought it was very

1006
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:06,720
clever that you have the air
vent turn into the conveyor belt

1007
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:11,080
and they really don't escape,
but they do, but they don't.

1008
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:19,080
So I really liked that.
I so in San Francisco by the

1009
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:23,000
hotel so being on the East Coast
I have never had

1010
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:26,120
jack-in-the-box.
Not a fast food franchise I've

1011
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:28,520
ever had.
I don't really do a lot of fast

1012
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:33,600
food just because vegan options.
Fast food is rough.

1013
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:38,320
Although I did, my hotel was
right next door to a Mr.

1014
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:42,200
Charlie's, which if you're
familiar with a Mr. Charlie's.

1015
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:45,160
I am not it.
Is basically like an art piece

1016
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:48,680
that they will stage across the
street or next door to a

1017
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:54,600
McDonald's and they have what's
called frowny boxes and it's or

1018
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:59,280
frowny meals and it's wild and
it's all vegan and I was so

1019
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:00,640
excited.
All right on.

1020
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:05,240
I walked by a jack-in-the-box
and I'm like, that is a fucked

1021
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:09,280
up clown mascot and I don't care
for it.

1022
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:12,320
And then when I watch this, I'm
like, oh fuck, it's the

1023
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:15,040
jack-in-the-box.
Kind of is, yeah.

1024
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:20,680
I am in California and it's here
and it is blocks for me and it

1025
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:26,240
will get me and I did not
appreciate having the dreams of

1026
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:31,280
a clown from fast food.
I thought it was like, look like

1027
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:34,840
the mayor of McDonald Town, like
if you remember that mascot,

1028
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:36,520
that's what it Mama.
Cheese.

1029
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:41,560
Merry Mcchees, Yeah.
Yeah, I did.

1030
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:44,360
Not with Skittles instead of
beefy goodness.

1031
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:47,240
And then the little beefy
goodness.

1032
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:52,680
Assistant, obviously.
I would venture to guess that

1033
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:55,800
they'd probably cast a little
person in that role.

1034
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:59,280
And I have feelings.
OK.

1035
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:02,240
About that.
Such as?

1036
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:10,120
I feel so weapons that came out
earlier this year, there is an

1037
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:15,480
incredible scene towards the
end, lots of running and they

1038
01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:18,840
use as kind of like for the
running shots where you don't

1039
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:24,320
see the faces, little people,
very child's play coded in that

1040
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:27,600
sense.
And it's like, why couldn't you

1041
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:31,720
just have like a short about
where a little person was in the

1042
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:37,720
lead and they were just cool?
With a little person, what?

1043
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:39,880
Why?
Why can't you just have a little

1044
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:42,240
person in the lead?
Right of.

1045
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:46,360
A horror of a horror short or a
horror film instead of having

1046
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:50,680
them in very like contained
sectors.

1047
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:52,920
Got it.
A film.

1048
01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:56,560
OK.
Kind of like either a creepy

1049
01:05:56,560 --> 01:06:01,880
element and or stunt.
Right.

1050
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:04,520
Yeah.
Instead of instead of stunt

1051
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:06,520
casting, actually, you know, put
them front and center.

1052
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:09,800
What would a what would a horror
movie from a little person's

1053
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:12,320
perspective be like?
Now I want to see that someone

1054
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:14,280
make that movie, Nicole, make
that movie.

1055
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,880
So this is what I struggle with
and we've kind of talked about

1056
01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:22,080
this before is like I because
the little person in the role,

1057
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:24,920
like it's not monstrous because
it's a little person.

1058
01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:29,600
It's monstrous because it's it's
a fast food mascot that is like

1059
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:34,200
trying to kill people, same as
like Mayor Mccheese, like

1060
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:37,040
shooting Skittles out of its arm
when you cut its arm off.

1061
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:39,720
Like what would be the
alternative?

1062
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:43,480
I guess just I think, and I
think you're going for that

1063
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:47,480
because you're going for the
contrast of like the tall, lanky

1064
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:52,840
character and then you have like
a much smaller character.

1065
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:55,880
And it's not like it's monstrous
because he's little.

1066
01:06:56,160 --> 01:07:00,320
It's monstrous because like,
they're a murderous fast food

1067
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:02,320
mascot.
Like both of them are pretty

1068
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:07,360
creepy.
Creepy when you especially like

1069
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:12,040
the sequences where it's just
the assistant, OK, and they're

1070
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:14,160
kind of fucking with people.
I get it.

1071
01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:17,760
Like, that's fine.
It's not that I have an issue

1072
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:23,560
that that it's cast that way.
It's just why is this so

1073
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:25,280
consistent?
Got it.

1074
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:29,360
Why not have?
Someone you know, why can't you

1075
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:35,160
know, they play a parent in one
of the other, you know, films

1076
01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:36,880
that We'll talk.
About or one of the group of

1077
01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:39,600
four kids that are getting
chased, Right.

1078
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:41,920
Yeah, I can't argue against
that.

1079
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:43,600
That makes sense.
Yeah.

1080
01:07:43,960 --> 01:07:45,160
I'm I'm right there with you,
Nicole.

1081
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:52,840
So not to change the subject,
but if you saw our human body go

1082
01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:57,120
through this conveyor belt and
cover it in nougat and caramel

1083
01:07:57,120 --> 01:08:00,520
and chocolate, what do you think
the most delicious part of the

1084
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:02,080
body would be that you would
like?

1085
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:05,400
Be like, you know what, I will
try that delicacy.

1086
01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:17,880
I want you to go first, Mike.
I'm not going to incriminate

1087
01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:24,960
myself until you do.
I'm thinking the butt, I think

1088
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:30,439
because there'd be like enough,
you know, like protein and chew

1089
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:32,560
to it.
But it wouldn't be tough like

1090
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:34,840
the tongue.
It wouldn't be crunchy like a

1091
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:37,120
finger.
It's already sweet, that's why

1092
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:40,560
they call it cake.
Yeah, yeah, I'm thinking the

1093
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:42,240
butt.
I mean, I know that's a very

1094
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:45,800
basic answer.
You know, I do not have an Al

1095
01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:49,439
Pacino.
She's got a great ass cute lined

1096
01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:52,720
up for the board.
So unfortunately I feel like

1097
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:55,960
I've dropped the ball.
I've let myself, my country, my

1098
01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:58,680
listeners doubt.
But yeah, and your Co hosts, not

1099
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:02,000
to mention your Co hosts, yeah.
How about yourself, Steven?

1100
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:06,439
I'm going to go, I mean, if
we're talking like similar to

1101
01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:09,160
like like a pig, I'm going to go
with the belly meat because

1102
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:11,760
that's where the bacon comes
from and chocolate covered bacon

1103
01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:13,960
is delicious.
It is delicious.

1104
01:09:15,359 --> 01:09:17,240
So yeah, that's what I'm going
with.

1105
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:20,760
And Nicole, do you need to
abstain because this would not

1106
01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:25,880
be vegan or?
Yeah, it's all just, it's all

1107
01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:29,640
just meat and it's flesh and
it's upsetting and I can't even

1108
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:33,800
eat the caramel and that's bad.
Oh, that sucks that you can't

1109
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:35,760
even eat caramel.
Oh, that's a bummer.

1110
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:38,359
Because of butter.
Yeah.

1111
01:09:39,319 --> 01:09:41,399
Can't you make caramel with your
sugar and water?

1112
01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:45,399
No, you usually have to put like
some either butter or some type

1113
01:09:45,399 --> 01:09:46,720
of.
Cream, yeah.

1114
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:48,279
Or margarine.
Can you do it with?

1115
01:09:48,319 --> 01:09:49,640
Can you do it with like coconut
milk?

1116
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:54,279
I mean you can do lots of things
with coconut milk, it doesn't

1117
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:57,280
really use good.
OK, Yeah, well, think about

1118
01:09:57,280 --> 01:09:58,920
vegan food as it usually
doesn't.

1119
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:01,040
I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.

1120
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:03,120
I was a joke.
Mike, there is a lot of

1121
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:06,080
delicious vegan.
Food base, you're not a beast

1122
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:08,560
like there are some vegan stuff
that is.

1123
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:11,320
Just.
Like not so far to go.

1124
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:15,840
And I think this is it.
Like what?

1125
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:22,000
What would a vegan take on this
short bee?

1126
01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:28,560
I don't know, like tofu people.
Hydrox, like Merrimick cheese,

1127
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:32,200
would be made of Hydrox cookies
which are vegan.

1128
01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:34,640
Oreos are vegan.
Are they?

1129
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:35,880
I do not think they were.
Yep.

1130
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:42,960
I ate mostly vegan for lunch
today and then I put sour cream

1131
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:44,160
on it and then it wasn't vegan
anymore.

1132
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:46,680
Did you, I was going to say, did
you eat mostly Oreos for lunch?

1133
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:49,320
Like it's that.
One no, no, Mike, I'm diabetic.

1134
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:50,640
I really shouldn't do this stuff
like that.

1135
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:54,480
No, I no, I did.
I did a tofu scramble with tofu

1136
01:10:54,480 --> 01:10:56,720
and some veggies, kind of fried
it up and then put like some

1137
01:10:56,720 --> 01:10:59,640
salsa like to soak in the tofu
to give it like make it kind of

1138
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:00,520
spicy.
It was really good.

1139
01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:02,840
And then, you know, to cool it
down, I put sour cream on it.

1140
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:05,800
So I kind of ruined, but it was
vegan up until that point.

1141
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:11,760
Well.
I just think that this, it was a

1142
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:16,360
very fun, short, pun intended
like that.

1143
01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:21,520
It is almost like a centerpiece
to some of like the themes and

1144
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:24,840
little Easter eggs.
I appreciated that.

1145
01:11:25,480 --> 01:11:30,360
But yeah, I guess part of it was
I was just so distracted by a

1146
01:11:30,520 --> 01:11:36,280
jack-in-the-box or, wait, is it
jack-in-the-box or in and out

1147
01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:37,960
that has the clown?
It's Jack in.

1148
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:39,760
The box jack-in-the-box.
It's jack-in-the-box.

1149
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:44,120
OK, thank you.
And I was very upset about that.

1150
01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:47,080
Like I literally did dream about
the jack-in-the-box clown.

1151
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:50,520
I'm so sorry.
And like, sitting like in the

1152
01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:52,600
lobby and me being like, the
fuck is this?

1153
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:56,800
And then trying to run.
So it was very emotionally

1154
01:11:56,800 --> 01:11:59,920
upsetting and also very not
vegan.

1155
01:11:59,960 --> 01:12:06,200
So yeah, I give it two out of
five stars.

1156
01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:09,400
Given it four I really love this
segment.

1157
01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:13,680
I really enjoyed it.
I it's a good parallel to the

1158
01:12:14,480 --> 01:12:18,720
first segment like and that's
that's for better or for worse,

1159
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:21,040
the fiance.
It just has a sense of humor

1160
01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:25,240
that tickles me.
When they cut off the mascot's

1161
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:30,840
arm and it shoots out gumballs
and she yells, it's not human.

1162
01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:35,160
Like that is just the kind of
humor that I don't know, it's

1163
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:36,760
so.
And when they just stop, when

1164
01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:40,240
they're watching their friend
get processed and the dude just

1165
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:44,040
is like, is that caramel?
Like that, like the whole like

1166
01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:48,120
absurdity of this.
It tickles me in a way that few

1167
01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:50,360
things do.
Yeah, you're going to love too

1168
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:52,400
many cooks, Mike.
You're going to love too many

1169
01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:55,680
cooks.
Well, Speaking of children and

1170
01:12:55,680 --> 01:13:01,920
tickling, that brings us to our
next segment directed by written

1171
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:06,240
and directed by Alex Ross Perry,
Kid Prince and Perry's probably

1172
01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:10,040
probably the most accomplished
director of anyone in this like

1173
01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:14,280
his 100% lineup and cute clothes
like Christopher Robin, her

1174
01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:18,160
smell starring Elisabeth Moss.
He's directed the Paul Schrader

1175
01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:21,680
documentary Man in a room.
More recently, like this year,

1176
01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:26,200
he released a documentary called
Pavements, which is about the

1177
01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:31,000
indie rock, these indie rock
band Pavement who fucking rule.

1178
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:35,040
And I haven't seen that doc yet,
but I really want to.

1179
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:38,920
I'm going to cue that up.
Nicole, I see you nodding your

1180
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:42,600
head to like the acknowledgement
of that Pavement rules.

1181
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:48,400
I'm going to ask you a question.
Could only have one Pavement or

1182
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:51,480
Archers of Loaf.
Pavement.

1183
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:56,760
Archers of Loaf.
Steven Foxworthy smiling

1184
01:13:56,760 --> 01:13:59,400
politely.
Sorry, I love both, Payment is

1185
01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:04,680
great, but Archers of Loaf, one
of the most under heralded bands

1186
01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:08,240
of Archers of Loaf after their
first indie record was

1187
01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:10,600
successful and everybody was
courting them.

1188
01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:14,640
They're like, we're going to
make a super noisy uncommercial

1189
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:17,720
record just so labels will leave
us alone.

1190
01:14:18,160 --> 01:14:21,040
And that record was even better
than the first record.

1191
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:23,520
Annie, I love Archers of Loaf so
fucking much.

1192
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:26,720
Pavement rules, no argument.
What's your argument for

1193
01:14:26,720 --> 01:14:32,240
Pavement over Archers of Loaf?
I I mean, Pavement was really

1194
01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:37,120
one of those early bands for me
that I just got super into OK.

1195
01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:42,280
I was very into indie rock and I
love the little like spat

1196
01:14:42,280 --> 01:14:44,720
between Pavement and Smashing
Pumpkins.

1197
01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:48,240
I thought that was very funny
because I also am a big Smashing

1198
01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:51,760
Pumpkins fan and so I felt a
little riff.

1199
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:54,840
But no, I just like Pavement.
Yeah, it's a very good.

1200
01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:57,800
They are an excellent band.
They are an excellent band.

1201
01:14:58,360 --> 01:15:03,400
Absolutely adore them.
So, kid print Nicole, I think

1202
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:07,680
you're up.
Yeah, I love, love.

1203
01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:10,360
This is my favorite.
Not my favorite but I love this

1204
01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:11,960
segment.
It's so good.

1205
01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:13,440
Horrific.
It is, yeah.

1206
01:15:14,280 --> 01:15:16,520
It is disturbing.
So fucked up it is.

1207
01:15:18,240 --> 01:15:21,040
Upsetting it.
Oh my goodness.

1208
01:15:21,040 --> 01:15:25,480
So yeah, you mentioned that this
is directed and written by Alex

1209
01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:30,640
Ross Perry, and I'm also a big
fan of his personal Queen of

1210
01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:32,320
Earth.
Listen up, Phillip.

1211
01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:34,800
Yeah, listen up.
Phillip is very good.

1212
01:15:35,480 --> 01:15:39,440
Like he is very influential and
really a landmark in terms of

1213
01:15:39,480 --> 01:15:42,760
like your mumble core yeah
genre.

1214
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:50,560
So kind of running hand in hand
with like Kai West and so I the.

1215
01:15:51,080 --> 01:15:55,240
Duplasses.
Yes, the Duplasses, the brothers

1216
01:15:55,280 --> 01:15:58,400
Duplass.
So I was very excited when I saw

1217
01:15:58,440 --> 01:16:02,400
that he was on board for this,
and it is no surprise that this

1218
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:07,680
was my favorite.
Basically, you have this town,

1219
01:16:08,080 --> 01:16:13,120
it's Halloween time, and there
have been reports of all of

1220
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:16,840
these, like missing teenagers
and kids in this community to a

1221
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:19,040
point that they're basically on
the walk down now.

1222
01:16:19,440 --> 01:16:22,120
They've decided that for their
trick or treating, they're not

1223
01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:23,640
necessarily going to do trick or
treating.

1224
01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:28,320
They're going to have like a
little event where kids and the

1225
01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:33,960
family can go and cops are there
to hand out.

1226
01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:38,280
A piece of candy.
A piece of candy for everyone

1227
01:16:38,320 --> 01:16:40,080
and they still have some games
like.

1228
01:16:40,240 --> 01:16:44,040
Jeff's kiss on that, by the way.
Like Jeff's kiss on that little

1229
01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:45,880
detail.
You're going to get a piece of

1230
01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:47,160
candy.
Right.

1231
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:49,720
And none of the kids want to be
there.

1232
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:52,800
And I also really love that,
like none of the kids are really

1233
01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:56,440
into it from the junk.
But you also get these

1234
01:16:56,440 --> 01:17:00,360
intersections of what are these
kid print videos, which is

1235
01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:05,840
basically these videos that are
filmed so that kids that go

1236
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:09,600
missing, there's this video that
kind of explains who they are, a

1237
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:13,480
little bit of detail so that
they can be found and returned

1238
01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:19,560
to their family.
And it is intense.

1239
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:25,040
You then follow kids that are
captured and you think it's one

1240
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:28,280
thing, but it's not.
It takes place at a video store.

1241
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:32,200
The guy who is the owner is a
person that's filming kind of

1242
01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:36,920
the main segments, and then you
find out that the kid print and

1243
01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:39,400
the horrific stuff that's
happening to the kids that are

1244
01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:49,280
coming in is by the assistant
and I hated him very much.

1245
01:17:50,840 --> 01:17:54,320
The assistant.
Yeah, Bruce, I thought that he

1246
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:58,680
was horrifying and like that he
wouldn't hurt a family type.

1247
01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:03,440
Yeah, he kind of gives off like
a Levar Burton vibe in terms of

1248
01:18:03,440 --> 01:18:07,600
like sweetness and kindness.
And then even when he's like

1249
01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:11,000
almost like he doesn't know what
he's actually doing, like

1250
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:15,440
there's a sense of like
disconnect or depersonalization

1251
01:18:15,440 --> 01:18:19,080
that is going on with his
character, which I found really

1252
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:22,280
fascinating.
Well, and when you see like

1253
01:18:22,440 --> 01:18:25,160
what's happening to these
people, like he's getting them,

1254
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:28,440
it's gross, yes, and very
visceral.

1255
01:18:31,200 --> 01:18:34,720
I think one of the standout
moments for me is towards the

1256
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:40,800
end when so so his name is
Bruce, the owner of the store.

1257
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:43,800
His name is Tim.
And everyone thinks that maybe

1258
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:48,400
Tim could be behind this.
Like people like he's kind of

1259
01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:51,400
considered a little creepy, a
little awkward, but no one

1260
01:18:51,400 --> 01:18:57,760
really has any beef with Bruce.
And so you see Bruce, he was

1261
01:18:57,760 --> 01:19:03,800
saying, Tim being kind of a the
guy that he is, he's like, hey,

1262
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:06,320
wouldn't it be really cool if I
just solved all of this with my

1263
01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:08,640
camera?
And so he goes to his store and

1264
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:11,760
he traces it back and he walks
in on it.

1265
01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:14,040
Do you think that's what he's
doing?

1266
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:17,600
Because like, I have a different
impression of Tim.

1267
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:21,560
I feel like Tim is oblivious to
what's going on.

1268
01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:24,400
And like, he goes back to the
store because the cop has asked

1269
01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:28,320
him, can you go find this tape?
And he just stumbles on it.

1270
01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:33,640
No, I but he does make that
mention earlier when they're

1271
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:36,600
going to the trick or treat
event with the cops.

1272
01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:38,720
He's like, wouldn't it be cool
if I had my camera and.

1273
01:19:38,720 --> 01:19:41,880
I got it, yeah.
So it's just creepy.

1274
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:47,160
We see, like I said, the stand
up moment to me is when.

1275
01:19:47,640 --> 01:19:52,120
So Tim goes back to this video
store, this electronic store.

1276
01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:55,360
He's kind of discovers what's
going on.

1277
01:19:57,360 --> 01:20:05,440
The two captured teenagers end
up killing ten, thinking that

1278
01:20:05,440 --> 01:20:10,720
he's in cahoots with Bruce.
And then you see Bruce with part

1279
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:13,040
of his skinned face.
I think it's Ethan's face,

1280
01:20:13,040 --> 01:20:17,960
right?
He is giving like Ethan is what

1281
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:22,480
we see kind of like the prey of
Ethan, where he's like, oh, come

1282
01:20:22,480 --> 01:20:25,400
back to the store.
Let me show you a camera.

1283
01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:28,840
It's going to be cool if you had
one and it's very unsettling,

1284
01:20:28,840 --> 01:20:33,960
but it's done in a way that
you're like, but you see him and

1285
01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:38,920
he's kind of in this role of
like playing kind of like this

1286
01:20:38,960 --> 01:20:44,440
scared kid and responding to
some of the questions and

1287
01:20:44,440 --> 01:20:48,160
prompts that the kids get when
they make these videos.

1288
01:20:48,560 --> 01:20:52,120
It's very disturbing.
It makes me wonder if he like

1289
01:20:52,360 --> 01:20:54,560
had something happened to him as
a kid?

1290
01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:56,920
Almost I.
Think so, yeah.

1291
01:20:57,160 --> 01:21:00,080
Had to have.
Because he even makes mention

1292
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:02,680
like kind of brings you back to
your own childhood and what

1293
01:21:02,680 --> 01:21:06,320
could have happened to him and.
Yeah, so they when Tim is

1294
01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:11,040
killed, they think that they
have the police come, they find

1295
01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:13,680
that Tim is dead.
They can't find the two

1296
01:21:13,680 --> 01:21:16,680
teenagers bodies from my
understanding.

1297
01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:21,240
Correct.
And so they're like, oh, this

1298
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:23,520
was all Tim, and now he's dead
and everything is safe.

1299
01:21:23,640 --> 01:21:28,400
And you get the little interview
with Bruce, who says what you

1300
01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:31,080
just said, like, takes you back
to your childhoods.

1301
01:21:31,200 --> 01:21:33,880
I had no idea that this was
going on, blah, blah, blah.

1302
01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:40,920
And then you see it literally
the very, very end.

1303
01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:43,640
And the last restraint is that
there's another girl that has

1304
01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:47,720
been lowered there.
It's now November and she is

1305
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:50,240
doing a kid print video and
she's scared and she's getting

1306
01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:53,360
killed by Bruce.
So the massacre continues

1307
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,160
because.
He don't know.

1308
01:21:55,160 --> 01:21:58,440
So I agree with you both.
This is a great segment.

1309
01:21:59,080 --> 01:22:02,880
What I found distracting when I
was watching it, I'm like, is

1310
01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:06,480
that Tim Robinson?
Like that they somehow get Tim

1311
01:22:06,480 --> 01:22:11,280
Robinson to start because like
he really gives off that vibe,

1312
01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:14,560
especially when he interacts
with anyone else.

1313
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:18,000
Like when he has that like brief
segment with his wife and two

1314
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:21,480
kids and they're like getting
ready for this event.

1315
01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:25,600
And like nobody seems to act.
The wife seems to loathe him

1316
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:28,640
from Jump Street.
She's like, Oh my God.

1317
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:31,680
Like it very much.
Like we talked about friendship,

1318
01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:37,240
the vibe that Kate Mara has with
Tim Robinson from Jump Street.

1319
01:22:37,240 --> 01:22:40,040
So I found that like a little
bit distracting.

1320
01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:43,280
Like I know it's not, but I
can't help it to the point of

1321
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:47,560
like, he's such a boob.
Like he's doing this service,

1322
01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:51,200
but like, they're at this event
and one of the mothers is like,

1323
01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:54,080
I'm bringing my kid home.
There was just another

1324
01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:56,520
kidnapping today.
I'm horrified.

1325
01:22:57,080 --> 01:22:59,400
They mentioned and they
mentioned the girl's name and

1326
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:02,240
it's literally like the girl
that we meet later in the in the

1327
01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:05,200
shore, Yeah.
Off in the distance, there's

1328
01:23:05,200 --> 01:23:09,640
like a little girl sitting alone
with another adult that no one

1329
01:23:09,640 --> 01:23:12,240
seems to know.
And he's like, it's just some

1330
01:23:12,240 --> 01:23:14,600
fat guy here for candy for
Halloween.

1331
01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:18,080
Like, totally oblivious.
You know, when there's reports

1332
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:22,080
on the radio, he shuts them off
like he has like no

1333
01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:26,520
understanding how bad it is.
And then he just like stumbles

1334
01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:33,280
like into this like horrific
scene and gets like gets got for

1335
01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:35,520
it.
Like that is it's a great

1336
01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:40,360
performance and it is very
Michael Scott vibes as well.

1337
01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:43,640
I would say like totally, I'm on
board with it.

1338
01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:47,480
How about yourself, Steven?
I I also love this one.

1339
01:23:47,480 --> 01:23:51,600
I heard you guys talking earlier
about what you enjoyed about, or

1340
01:23:51,640 --> 01:23:54,800
I guess the, the elements that
that made Bruce as creepy as he

1341
01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:57,600
was apparently, and I read this
on IMDb, so take it with a grain

1342
01:23:57,600 --> 01:23:59,640
of salt.
Apparently that guy's a minister

1343
01:23:59,680 --> 01:24:02,920
in real life.
Like that's, yeah, the guy that

1344
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:04,680
plays Bruce, he's actually a
minister.

1345
01:24:04,840 --> 01:24:06,680
So, you know, do it, do with
that what you will.

1346
01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:10,440
But no, I, I, I really, I really
dig this one.

1347
01:24:10,440 --> 01:24:13,480
I dig how creepy it is.
I dig how unsettling it is.

1348
01:24:14,600 --> 01:24:18,240
Like it's, it's not unsettling
in the way that like I, that put

1349
01:24:18,240 --> 01:24:22,320
me off with Coochie Coochie COO
like this one was just, And

1350
01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:25,720
again, I, I, I, I think a lot of
it is owed to Alex Ross Perry,

1351
01:24:25,720 --> 01:24:30,080
who is just an incredible
filmmaker and really knows how

1352
01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:32,280
to stitch a story together and
do a lot with a little.

1353
01:24:32,640 --> 01:24:35,800
And I mean, he comes from, you
know, comes out of indie indie

1354
01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:40,360
cinema and like really is doing
able to do a lot with what he's

1355
01:24:40,360 --> 01:24:43,920
got to work with here and just
creates a really effectively

1356
01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:49,280
creepy story that in the fact
that they they don't get the guy

1357
01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:52,480
at the end makes it I think he
all the more unsettling.

1358
01:24:52,480 --> 01:24:55,920
It's that case of mistaken
identity thing that when we're

1359
01:24:55,920 --> 01:24:59,440
when it when it's done well, is
really, really effective.

1360
01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:04,600
You know, talking to the killer
at the end, who is just, you

1361
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:08,400
know, basically telling on
himself and no one knows.

1362
01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:10,720
But we know because we we know
who he is.

1363
01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:14,320
But like, just in, in a way that
just makes it even creepier.

1364
01:25:14,320 --> 01:25:16,000
Like it's, it's just so well
done.

1365
01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:19,320
I really loved it.
Yeah, I, I, yeah, I had a lot of

1366
01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:22,160
fun with it.
And it's easily the best segment

1367
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:25,240
of the of the film for me.
Adds to the creep factor.

1368
01:25:25,240 --> 01:25:28,800
Nicole, you kind of mentioned
this is like when you know

1369
01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:31,840
what's happening, like when
Bruce has been revealed, you

1370
01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:35,760
start getting these sort of
quick cuts with like other

1371
01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:39,280
segments of other children as
they're very scared.

1372
01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:43,320
And then like the torture scene,
Bruce like skinning the kid

1373
01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:45,240
alive.
All these little quick

1374
01:25:45,240 --> 01:25:49,160
horrifying cuts to see.
You get just enough to like get

1375
01:25:49,160 --> 01:25:53,040
very unsettled and disturbed and
then you're on to the next

1376
01:25:53,040 --> 01:25:56,000
thing, then you're on.
It's a perfect segment.

1377
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:58,920
Like I don't know if I'd want to
see this.

1378
01:25:58,960 --> 01:26:02,840
It also gives off like very much
like Derrickson and Cargill

1379
01:26:02,840 --> 01:26:04,800
vibes in the way that it's
filmed.

1380
01:26:05,280 --> 01:26:09,120
Like there's something that
feels almost like sinister with

1381
01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:12,400
this as well, like just the
aesthetic of it.

1382
01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:17,760
I love it.
I think it's also, it's not

1383
01:26:18,280 --> 01:26:21,440
paranormal like this shit
happens.

1384
01:26:22,040 --> 01:26:24,480
Yeah.
And I think that that makes it

1385
01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:27,960
release.
I mean, I think that's the like

1386
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:32,520
really ace horror of it is that
this shit happens.

1387
01:26:32,960 --> 01:26:41,000
But I also I'm forgetting the
name of the Hulu Into the Dark

1388
01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:44,320
movie that came out.
I think it was this year or

1389
01:26:44,320 --> 01:26:46,400
maybe it was last.
No, it would have been last year

1390
01:26:47,600 --> 01:26:54,480
where it was like a, a Mr.
Rogers figure that there was

1391
01:26:54,480 --> 01:27:00,560
this tape and it got circulated.
These different kids and people

1392
01:27:00,560 --> 01:27:04,720
ended up being kidnapped and
parents were murdered.

1393
01:27:05,040 --> 01:27:09,880
I'm forgetting the name of it.
And I don't know why it reminded

1394
01:27:09,880 --> 01:27:14,760
me very much of that because
again, when he mentions like how

1395
01:27:14,760 --> 01:27:18,520
I feel, you know, like taking
you back to your childhood, it's

1396
01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:21,680
like something probably pretty
sinister happened to him.

1397
01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:26,880
And there's probably like some
sick and twisted conduit in his

1398
01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:32,640
brain where he's like, I think I
am sparing these kids from even

1399
01:27:32,640 --> 01:27:36,720
worse now.
Don't know because literally the

1400
01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:39,360
news report says this is the
most gruesome thing we've ever

1401
01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:40,120
seen.
Right.

1402
01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:44,440
And he does not hold back.
But there's that, you know,

1403
01:27:44,680 --> 01:27:49,040
doing something to spare a child
and save them when it's actually

1404
01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:52,760
doing the exact opposite.
Right.

1405
01:27:53,480 --> 01:27:57,480
I did not know Paul Verhoeven
directed one of the Into the

1406
01:27:57,480 --> 01:27:59,800
Dark film.
So just like trying to find that

1407
01:27:59,800 --> 01:28:04,240
movie and I had no idea.
I'm going to need to start going

1408
01:28:04,240 --> 01:28:07,040
through some of those.
Like I cancelled.

1409
01:28:07,480 --> 01:28:11,880
We had like the yearly
membership to Disney in Hulu

1410
01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:15,240
when they did the like, get it
for a year for 30 bucks.

1411
01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:18,680
So that expires in a month and
we've cancelled.

1412
01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:21,600
So yeah, I'm going to have to go
through that.

1413
01:28:22,320 --> 01:28:26,280
OK last segment.
Are we ready to move on?

1414
01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:29,080
Are we ready to go to the OK
last segment?

1415
01:28:29,080 --> 01:28:33,480
Home haunt written and directed
by Micheline Pitt, Norman and RH

1416
01:28:33,480 --> 01:28:39,120
Norman husband and wife team.
This is my favorite segment of

1417
01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:42,440
the whole thing.
This might even be like my

1418
01:28:42,440 --> 01:28:48,080
favorite VHS segment full stop.
Like I is it better than safe

1419
01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:50,440
haven?
Like no, it's not like a better

1420
01:28:50,840 --> 01:28:55,120
put together segment, but Oh my
God this is the most Mike

1421
01:28:55,120 --> 01:28:58,200
Snooney encoded segment of all
time.

1422
01:28:58,200 --> 01:29:02,440
That is, that is correct.
So it starts with this kind of

1423
01:29:02,440 --> 01:29:08,280
like almost like cheesy home
commercial of this home hunt

1424
01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:13,040
with like this little kid, He's
like 11 years old playing Igor

1425
01:29:13,360 --> 01:29:16,880
and dad is doing the voice over
work and they're giving a tour

1426
01:29:17,320 --> 01:29:22,280
of the home hunt and everyone is
kind of, it's very cheesy.

1427
01:29:22,280 --> 01:29:27,680
It's very early to mid 2000s.
There's something like very

1428
01:29:27,680 --> 01:29:30,560
slapdash about it.
I don't know if you guys have

1429
01:29:30,560 --> 01:29:35,400
seen the movie An American
Scream, the documentary about

1430
01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:39,040
3:00.
There's a town in Massachusetts

1431
01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:43,480
where three different families
did three different varying

1432
01:29:43,480 --> 01:29:46,480
levels of home haunts.
One of them was like, and I

1433
01:29:46,480 --> 01:29:49,480
think the people, the home that
did it like they were

1434
01:29:49,480 --> 01:29:54,840
definitely, I would say
intellectually impaired, but

1435
01:29:54,840 --> 01:29:58,360
they put together like a really
cute, fun, whatever they could

1436
01:29:58,360 --> 01:30:03,080
find home hunt, God love them.
One was in the middle, just a

1437
01:30:03,080 --> 01:30:06,280
dad, like whatever trash he
could find, he could do.

1438
01:30:06,280 --> 01:30:09,440
And then one family was like,
no, we want to GoPro.

1439
01:30:09,520 --> 01:30:12,640
And the dude spent all year
putting this together.

1440
01:30:13,160 --> 01:30:15,160
This was not that level of home
haunt.

1441
01:30:15,160 --> 01:30:18,840
To think this was like Jeezy.
And then the kid Zach is like,

1442
01:30:18,840 --> 01:30:22,360
dad cut the shit, cut off the
camera kid is now in high

1443
01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:25,120
school.
These videos have been posted on

1444
01:30:25,120 --> 01:30:30,280
YouTube and you're not going to
believe this, but that has made

1445
01:30:30,280 --> 01:30:35,320
Zach not the cool dude on campus
scoring with all the ladies, but

1446
01:30:35,320 --> 01:30:39,400
the object of ridicule and scorn
amongst his peers.

1447
01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:41,720
I know.
Shocking.

1448
01:30:42,560 --> 01:30:45,040
And Keith, the dad doesn't
understand this.

1449
01:30:45,040 --> 01:30:47,720
He's trying to convince.
Like Zach, I need you.

1450
01:30:47,720 --> 01:30:50,160
I need to take part in this.
Come on, buddy.

1451
01:30:50,160 --> 01:30:51,880
This is great.
Dad's clue.

1452
01:30:52,160 --> 01:30:54,480
His heart's in the right place,
but he's clueless.

1453
01:30:55,280 --> 01:30:58,760
He's very clueless.
And it takes mom, who's played

1454
01:30:58,760 --> 01:31:01,160
by Nancy.
I'm sorry, mom Nancy, who's

1455
01:31:01,160 --> 01:31:04,880
played by Sarah Nicklen, who
folks that don't know, like she

1456
01:31:04,880 --> 01:31:09,560
came up did a lot of films with
Richard Griffin, indie filmmaker

1457
01:31:09,560 --> 01:31:13,480
out of Providence that makes
like super micro budget films, a

1458
01:31:13,960 --> 01:31:18,520
lot of exploitation.
So she has started works like

1459
01:31:18,520 --> 01:31:22,480
none of that.
The disco exorcist, Dr.

1460
01:31:22,480 --> 01:31:26,720
Frankenstein's hungry wax Museum
of the dead, murder university.

1461
01:31:27,120 --> 01:31:29,720
I adore her.
Like she's a terrific actress on

1462
01:31:29,720 --> 01:31:34,880
her own and she is like just a
strikingly beautiful person, but

1463
01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:37,440
she's also like just supremely
talented.

1464
01:31:37,440 --> 01:31:41,520
So it's fun to see her here.
She convinces Zach they have to.

1465
01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:44,960
He has to take part in this.
And Zach and dad go to this

1466
01:31:44,960 --> 01:31:49,920
thrift store to get the props.
Dad sneaks into the backroom of

1467
01:31:49,920 --> 01:31:52,960
the thrift store where it says
employees only because that's

1468
01:31:52,960 --> 01:31:56,160
where all the good stuff is.
He finds a record.

1469
01:31:56,160 --> 01:31:59,280
Halloween Horrors says, I know
what I'll do.

1470
01:31:59,360 --> 01:32:02,000
I'll steal this record.
Although he does say he puts

1471
01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:06,000
money on the counter for the
woman, but it's clearly not for

1472
01:32:06,000 --> 01:32:08,280
sale.
And you're not going to believe

1473
01:32:08,280 --> 01:32:10,040
this when you play a haunted
record.

1474
01:32:10,040 --> 01:32:14,120
Bad shit happens.
So Halloween night now they

1475
01:32:14,120 --> 01:32:16,920
unveil A haunt that actually
looks really fucking cool.

1476
01:32:17,240 --> 01:32:22,520
Like, I'm sorry, when like Zach
pulls down that tarp and you see

1477
01:32:22,520 --> 01:32:26,680
like the top of a giant demon
head and these giant hands

1478
01:32:26,680 --> 01:32:29,480
coming over and I'm like, that's
some cool shit.

1479
01:32:29,480 --> 01:32:30,920
I mean, so probably.
Cool.

1480
01:32:31,360 --> 01:32:34,960
It looks really neat, there's a
line out the door and there's a

1481
01:32:34,960 --> 01:32:39,640
varying degree of enthusiasm by
people that are lined up for it.

1482
01:32:39,880 --> 01:32:43,040
There's 2 girls from Zach's
school and one of them is like

1483
01:32:43,040 --> 01:32:44,920
hi Zach.
Like actually gives him a little

1484
01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:47,920
smile.
It's like dude, game on, go get

1485
01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:52,280
you some Playa play a go play
and then her friend is like hi

1486
01:32:52,520 --> 01:32:55,200
Igor and you're like what a
bitch.

1487
01:32:56,000 --> 01:33:00,480
One of the people in line is
Keith's neighbor, played by Rick

1488
01:33:00,480 --> 01:33:05,000
Baker, the great Rick Baker,
great Rick Baker Oscar of they

1489
01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:07,960
created a kids special effects
were so good.

1490
01:33:08,280 --> 01:33:13,560
The Academy created award just
so Rick Baker could win The man

1491
01:33:13,600 --> 01:33:17,280
behind the effects of America
were Open London, which is

1492
01:33:17,280 --> 01:33:20,400
something I recommended to a
client to watch tomorrow night.

1493
01:33:20,640 --> 01:33:22,280
He was looking for a movie
recommend.

1494
01:33:23,160 --> 01:33:24,800
Great.
Rack Honestly 100.

1495
01:33:24,800 --> 01:33:27,520
And 40 bucks an hour.
You might not get good therapy,

1496
01:33:27,520 --> 01:33:30,680
but you will get tremendous
recommendations.

1497
01:33:31,040 --> 01:33:33,560
Tremendous.
Rick Baker's in mind and all

1498
01:33:33,560 --> 01:33:37,240
he's there to do is talk shit to
Keith about how bad everything

1499
01:33:37,240 --> 01:33:39,880
is.
I don't know if he's supposed to

1500
01:33:39,880 --> 01:33:44,160
be Rick Baker or he's just
playing a guy named Rick, but

1501
01:33:44,360 --> 01:33:48,040
I'd like to think he's playing
Rick Baker and he's so salty.

1502
01:33:48,040 --> 01:33:51,040
I think his name was Rich.
Like it's like the one letter

1503
01:33:51,040 --> 01:33:53,920
difference, like the plausible
deniability of it all.

1504
01:33:53,920 --> 01:33:55,360
It's it's him.
It's him.

1505
01:33:56,080 --> 01:34:01,440
So they go into the hunt, Dad
puts on the record, and shit

1506
01:34:01,440 --> 01:34:05,240
gets real really quick.
Like they get stuck in the room,

1507
01:34:05,360 --> 01:34:08,640
things burst on fire, there are
zombies, people are getting

1508
01:34:08,640 --> 01:34:11,600
eaten, it's chaos.
They go to the next room.

1509
01:34:12,400 --> 01:34:17,000
Rick is like, this is all fake,
this looks stupid, this is dumb,

1510
01:34:17,000 --> 01:34:19,160
why do we come here, blah blah
blah.

1511
01:34:19,640 --> 01:34:23,480
And then he gets like a ghost
sheet comes over his head,

1512
01:34:23,880 --> 01:34:26,640
squinches him, blood is spurting
everywhere.

1513
01:34:26,640 --> 01:34:29,040
And you're like, oh, it's on
like Donkey Kong.

1514
01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:31,840
Chaos ensues.
They're running from room to

1515
01:34:31,840 --> 01:34:34,880
room to room, 1 by 1.
They're getting picked off.

1516
01:34:36,160 --> 01:34:40,720
The really like bitchy girl from
the front start of it abandons

1517
01:34:40,720 --> 01:34:42,880
her young sister that he was
bringing through.

1518
01:34:42,880 --> 01:34:46,480
She was bringing through this.
She goes into the electrocution,

1519
01:34:46,480 --> 01:34:48,840
the torture room, she gets
electrocuted.

1520
01:34:51,120 --> 01:34:53,760
They run.
The only people that are left

1521
01:34:53,760 --> 01:34:57,080
are the family, Keith and Nancy
and Zach.

1522
01:34:57,080 --> 01:35:02,720
And they're horrified.
They end up in a display that

1523
01:35:02,720 --> 01:35:05,800
looks like basically Hansel and
Gretel and the little witch's

1524
01:35:06,200 --> 01:35:09,160
cabin.
And the little girl wanders into

1525
01:35:09,160 --> 01:35:12,320
the cabin.
And five seconds later, Keith

1526
01:35:12,320 --> 01:35:14,400
kicks in the door.
It's too late.

1527
01:35:14,440 --> 01:35:17,800
The girl is already in a boiling
cauldron, getting cooked alive.

1528
01:35:18,200 --> 01:35:23,320
This ugly like green skin like
classic haunted house which

1529
01:35:23,680 --> 01:35:28,320
bites off the girl's fingers,
pulls like Nancy into the

1530
01:35:28,320 --> 01:35:30,680
rescue, starts whooping ass on
the witch.

1531
01:35:31,280 --> 01:35:33,800
The girl is boiled a lie.
The next time you see her she's

1532
01:35:33,800 --> 01:35:37,200
just a skeleton.
Nancy tries to drown the witch.

1533
01:35:37,200 --> 01:35:42,320
They family eventually like gets
out but the witch isn't dead.

1534
01:35:42,480 --> 01:35:44,200
She grabbed.
I don't think the family gets

1535
01:35:44,200 --> 01:35:51,320
killed, but she does grab the
camera from the from Zach and

1536
01:35:51,320 --> 01:35:54,000
you get a point of view shot of
the witch flying on her

1537
01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:57,800
broomstick as she's going
through a street of unsuspecting

1538
01:35:57,800 --> 01:36:01,400
trick or treaters grabbing kids,
ripping their heads off.

1539
01:36:01,400 --> 01:36:05,800
Blood is spurting and we go to
credits and it's like what an

1540
01:36:05,800 --> 01:36:07,800
ending.
It's the perfect way.

1541
01:36:07,800 --> 01:36:11,520
It's so much fun.
It is everything I love about

1542
01:36:11,520 --> 01:36:13,720
Halloween, including there's
even a comment.

1543
01:36:13,720 --> 01:36:16,840
Zach is like, there's a lot of
dead kids on the cover of this

1544
01:36:16,840 --> 01:36:19,320
record and dad's like, I know,
right?

1545
01:36:19,880 --> 01:36:20,560
It's.
So.

1546
01:36:20,640 --> 01:36:21,640
Good.
Isn't it great?

1547
01:36:21,920 --> 01:36:24,720
It's so good.
I love everything about it.

1548
01:36:25,160 --> 01:36:28,200
I would not only watch like this
is a full length movie.

1549
01:36:28,520 --> 01:36:32,560
I I want a Peter Jackson
director cut Lord of the Rings

1550
01:36:32,560 --> 01:36:39,720
trilogy of just this family.
I love it so much. 18 stars out

1551
01:36:39,720 --> 01:36:43,040
of four, no notes.
Why am I wrong guys?

1552
01:36:43,040 --> 01:36:44,680
Why are you going to deflate me
right now?

1553
01:36:44,680 --> 01:36:45,840
Why are you going to bring me
down?

1554
01:36:49,200 --> 01:36:52,800
I like this a lot.
I thought it was a lot of fun

1555
01:36:52,880 --> 01:37:00,760
and I like the dynamic between
dad and son and how he saw a

1556
01:37:00,800 --> 01:37:05,520
little bit of that over time
too, when he was very little and

1557
01:37:05,520 --> 01:37:10,360
was really like excited to be
part of the Halloween

1558
01:37:10,360 --> 01:37:12,600
happenings.
And then as you know, like you

1559
01:37:12,600 --> 01:37:18,600
said, you get into that magical
age where it's just not as cool.

1560
01:37:18,880 --> 01:37:23,160
And adding in like now that this
has just become like their

1561
01:37:23,160 --> 01:37:28,440
family's thing, he is getting
teased about it at school and

1562
01:37:28,640 --> 01:37:30,520
kind of cramping his style that
way.

1563
01:37:30,880 --> 01:37:36,440
And so I really loved just being
able to like exist in this world

1564
01:37:36,440 --> 01:37:38,440
with his family because I
thought the family was really

1565
01:37:38,440 --> 01:37:43,960
interesting.
He saw the ending with the witch

1566
01:37:43,960 --> 01:37:49,160
was my favorite part just
because I was like yes, kids

1567
01:37:49,520 --> 01:37:55,520
getting heads ripped off, like
guts ripped while she's doing a

1568
01:37:55,520 --> 01:37:59,520
little twirly twirl on the room.
Loved it.

1569
01:37:59,840 --> 01:38:05,600
I love a little panache, and I
love that we end with a shot of

1570
01:38:05,600 --> 01:38:09,920
Like the the Haunt, like the
little demon hands.

1571
01:38:09,960 --> 01:38:11,360
Yes, I love that.
And I was.

1572
01:38:11,640 --> 01:38:14,360
Crumbling.
And I thought that was really

1573
01:38:14,600 --> 01:38:16,920
cool.
I I, I agree.

1574
01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:20,840
I think it I think that kid
print impacted me more.

1575
01:38:20,920 --> 01:38:25,200
Yeah.
But I really liked just the vibe

1576
01:38:25,200 --> 01:38:27,360
of this.
This is very Halloween.

1577
01:38:27,840 --> 01:38:29,920
This is the vibe I want from
Halloween.

1578
01:38:30,320 --> 01:38:35,000
It's scary and funny and clever
and a little bit silly, where

1579
01:38:35,000 --> 01:38:38,520
kid print is like we're going to
skin teenagers alive.

1580
01:38:39,480 --> 01:38:41,960
Yeah, which is also cool.
We're for it.

1581
01:38:44,120 --> 01:38:47,520
I mean, yeah, I I agree.
Like this is something that I

1582
01:38:47,720 --> 01:38:51,640
like you said, this could be a
feature film and this would

1583
01:38:51,640 --> 01:38:54,320
definitely be on high rotation.
Like.

1584
01:38:54,720 --> 01:38:59,160
Your annual Halloween feeling
because it really does set the

1585
01:38:59,200 --> 01:39:02,680
scene and it's fun.
But I don't know.

1586
01:39:02,960 --> 01:39:09,960
I would give to me, I would rank
this probably like maybe 4 out

1587
01:39:09,960 --> 01:39:12,160
of five stars because I really
did enjoy it.

1588
01:39:13,280 --> 01:39:17,800
I give kid print 5 out of five
just because it's so dark and

1589
01:39:17,800 --> 01:39:20,160
scary and upsetting.
Yeah.

1590
01:39:20,240 --> 01:39:25,280
But I this is such a good one to
kind of like end on.

1591
01:39:25,280 --> 01:39:27,840
To it is because.
It just makes you feel.

1592
01:39:27,880 --> 01:39:30,520
You can't end on kid print like
you can't end on.

1593
01:39:30,520 --> 01:39:32,840
No, no.
Because you think of like,

1594
01:39:32,840 --> 01:39:37,800
traditionally the VHS films, the
last segment is usually like,

1595
01:39:38,200 --> 01:39:41,800
like Radio Silence made their
debut with like, I think it was

1596
01:39:41,800 --> 01:39:46,200
like 1031, I forget the year.
But it's like the Haunted House

1597
01:39:46,200 --> 01:39:49,880
1 where it's like really fun.
Like typically like, that's how

1598
01:39:49,880 --> 01:39:52,600
VHS, like typically how the end
is.

1599
01:39:52,600 --> 01:39:55,120
They tend to go for a bit more
fun.

1600
01:39:56,840 --> 01:39:59,720
Yeah.
What about yourself, Steven?

1601
01:40:00,800 --> 01:40:03,400
It's not that I didn't like this
one because I did again, like

1602
01:40:03,480 --> 01:40:05,080
everything you guys are saying
is correct.

1603
01:40:05,080 --> 01:40:07,920
It is very fun.
It just didn't work as well for

1604
01:40:07,920 --> 01:40:09,400
me as some of the other
segments.

1605
01:40:09,880 --> 01:40:13,040
So like where this one fall like
it falls in the bottom half, but

1606
01:40:13,040 --> 01:40:16,720
only because I really thought
three of these segments were

1607
01:40:16,720 --> 01:40:18,840
really were were stronger than
this one.

1608
01:40:18,840 --> 01:40:22,040
Honestly, there's only really
two that I didn't care for and

1609
01:40:22,040 --> 01:40:24,320
that's fun size and Coochie
coochie COO like.

1610
01:40:24,320 --> 01:40:28,200
So I still enjoy this one, but
it's just not like it.

1611
01:40:28,280 --> 01:40:30,920
It doesn't stand up with the
other ones for me.

1612
01:40:31,200 --> 01:40:33,800
And again, this is totally a
matter of personal preference,

1613
01:40:33,800 --> 01:40:37,520
but it is a lot of fun.
Like I knew a guy I did a movie

1614
01:40:37,520 --> 01:40:41,920
once with a guy who had a home
haunt in Muncie, IN called the

1615
01:40:41,920 --> 01:40:46,400
Organ Trail and he dressed up as
a killer clown named Creepy who

1616
01:40:46,400 --> 01:40:50,120
had a bat with a little buzz saw
at the end called that he called

1617
01:40:50,120 --> 01:40:52,360
his giggle stick.
You can actually watch the short

1618
01:40:52,360 --> 01:40:54,600
film on YouTube.
It's called We did.

1619
01:40:54,600 --> 01:40:56,360
Yes.
The Pumpkin Man 3 is the name of

1620
01:40:56,360 --> 01:40:58,280
the film.
It's like 1/2 an hour long.

1621
01:40:58,280 --> 01:40:59,640
It's on YouTube.
Check it out.

1622
01:40:59,640 --> 01:41:02,920
It's really fun.
It was directed, it was written

1623
01:41:02,920 --> 01:41:05,800
Co written by a student of mine,
a former student of mine.

1624
01:41:05,800 --> 01:41:07,640
And he was like, hey, I we need
an adult.

1625
01:41:07,640 --> 01:41:10,040
Can you come play a cop?
And I was like, yeah, sure, why

1626
01:41:10,040 --> 01:41:11,480
not?
You know, it's one night.

1627
01:41:11,480 --> 01:41:13,720
There were like 2 nights across
like 2 weeks.

1628
01:41:13,720 --> 01:41:15,960
Yeah, this is going to be fun.
And it was, it was a good time

1629
01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:19,920
and it's one of my now 3 IMDb
credits that I have.

1630
01:41:19,920 --> 01:41:22,280
So go check it out.
It's fun.

1631
01:41:22,840 --> 01:41:25,600
But I mean, he was a really, he
was a really cool, really great

1632
01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:28,480
stand up guy.
He did like local wrestling and

1633
01:41:28,480 --> 01:41:31,800
he actually started the haunt to
as a fundraiser for local

1634
01:41:31,800 --> 01:41:33,680
charities around the Muncie, IN
area.

1635
01:41:33,680 --> 01:41:37,120
Like he would like it was in
honor of his infant son who had

1636
01:41:37,120 --> 01:41:39,640
passed away.
And like, eventually the thing

1637
01:41:39,640 --> 01:41:43,000
got shut down for like zoning
violations and stuff like that,

1638
01:41:43,520 --> 01:41:46,520
like, you know, typical home
haunt reason things.

1639
01:41:46,520 --> 01:41:50,720
But like there was a really well
structured and very elaborate

1640
01:41:50,720 --> 01:41:54,560
haunt and you know, so the the
kind, but he was not like the

1641
01:41:54,560 --> 01:41:57,520
goofy dad.
It wasn't like the cheesy kind

1642
01:41:57,520 --> 01:42:00,440
of stuff, but you know, it.
I like the contrast of what if

1643
01:42:00,440 --> 01:42:04,280
this very silly, goofy, cheesy
thing that only like a certain

1644
01:42:04,280 --> 01:42:07,760
kind of people are going to find
scary, it actually comes to life

1645
01:42:07,800 --> 01:42:11,280
and becomes truly terrifying.
Like, I like the contrast of

1646
01:42:11,280 --> 01:42:13,120
that.
And I think it's the contrast of

1647
01:42:13,120 --> 01:42:16,600
that that I think makes this one
work as well as it does that.

1648
01:42:16,640 --> 01:42:19,360
Yeah, on its surface, it is
goofy as shit.

1649
01:42:19,920 --> 01:42:25,280
But then once the demons from
the from the record come out and

1650
01:42:25,280 --> 01:42:28,680
infest and haunt and possess
everything, well, then it's a

1651
01:42:28,680 --> 01:42:31,000
terror.
Then this haunt is actually

1652
01:42:31,120 --> 01:42:33,480
haunting and.
And poor Rick Baker.

1653
01:42:33,480 --> 01:42:35,800
But I mean, yeah, it it's it's
fun.

1654
01:42:36,080 --> 01:42:38,560
It's silly, it's goofy, it's
scary.

1655
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:45,600
Before talking that much trash.
I mean, here's the thing, he's

1656
01:42:45,600 --> 01:42:48,720
not wrong, he's just an asshole.
See.

1657
01:42:49,520 --> 01:42:55,080
I did prove though that the the
quip afterwards was like I want

1658
01:42:55,080 --> 01:42:59,600
to see you do a haunt and I'm
like if he did a.

1659
01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:01,760
Haunt.
Sign me the fuck up.

1660
01:43:01,760 --> 01:43:03,640
I didn't.
Lose your mind.

1661
01:43:03,880 --> 01:43:05,320
Yep, I so the greatest thing
that you've.

1662
01:43:06,520 --> 01:43:09,360
Ever experienced in your?
Life I'm going to challenge you

1663
01:43:09,360 --> 01:43:12,840
here, Steven, because even
before the stuff goes down, like

1664
01:43:12,840 --> 01:43:16,480
they go into that first room
where the record player is and

1665
01:43:16,480 --> 01:43:20,560
there's a lot of like just the
entryway when you go in you have

1666
01:43:20,560 --> 01:43:24,440
that huge open mouth.
The demon facade looks really

1667
01:43:24,440 --> 01:43:26,560
cool.
You can tell a lot of work went

1668
01:43:26,560 --> 01:43:29,760
into it.
That first room where the record

1669
01:43:29,760 --> 01:43:34,560
player is like there's a lot of
detail and character like it's a

1670
01:43:34,560 --> 01:43:40,280
cool like for a neighborhood
hunt like that looks better than

1671
01:43:40,280 --> 01:43:43,200
some of like like we said hell,
how's LLC?

1672
01:43:44,200 --> 01:43:48,360
They're like they're letting
that hotel do a lot of heavy

1673
01:43:48,360 --> 01:43:51,640
lifting in order to make that
like thing work.

1674
01:43:51,640 --> 01:43:55,880
Like they have three scare
actors in the whole thing and

1675
01:43:56,200 --> 01:43:58,800
one of them's thing is like I
can bug out my eye.

1676
01:43:58,800 --> 01:44:01,480
It's like good for you dude,
have a cookie.

1677
01:44:03,120 --> 01:44:05,960
This is I wouldn't pay to go
through this one before I pay to

1678
01:44:05,960 --> 01:44:09,120
go through like the apaton.
I thought it looked was very

1679
01:44:09,120 --> 01:44:12,760
very cool for all so.
I mean, and and it's the the

1680
01:44:12,800 --> 01:44:17,000
elements that I think that I'm
with Rick Baker on is like they

1681
01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:20,120
walk into the next section and
it's just like these sheets

1682
01:44:20,120 --> 01:44:24,160
hanging from like fishing lines.
And I'm like, yeah, that looks

1683
01:44:24,160 --> 01:44:26,760
shitty.
Like I agree absolutely.

1684
01:44:26,760 --> 01:44:28,840
Rick Baker.
But then one comes to life and

1685
01:44:28,840 --> 01:44:32,160
like sits on his head and eats
him and that's hilarious.

1686
01:44:32,160 --> 01:44:33,160
I mean.
It is.

1687
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:37,560
It is objectively funny.
Like I can't, I can't argue with

1688
01:44:37,560 --> 01:44:39,040
that.
And I think this is the most

1689
01:44:39,600 --> 01:44:42,480
effectively comedic of the
segments as well.

1690
01:44:42,480 --> 01:44:44,760
Like this is the one where I was
actually like I was, I was

1691
01:44:44,760 --> 01:44:46,960
having a great time just
laughing with this one.

1692
01:44:46,960 --> 01:44:50,520
But again, like in terms of like
my overall enjoyment, it it

1693
01:44:50,520 --> 01:44:55,160
falls short of for me in in this
particular order, kid printing

1694
01:44:56,920 --> 01:45:02,640
OOTS supra Sikh infra and diet
fantasma for me.

1695
01:45:03,720 --> 01:45:05,560
So do we have any final
thoughts?

1696
01:45:08,160 --> 01:45:11,120
I really like the vibe of this
overall.

1697
01:45:11,280 --> 01:45:14,920
I think it was very cohesive.
It was very Halloweeny because

1698
01:45:14,920 --> 01:45:17,800
you went to the mood and even
the moms that I didn't really

1699
01:45:17,800 --> 01:45:22,280
care for, I still found myself
really liking and enjoying.

1700
01:45:23,760 --> 01:45:29,200
I I would have to say of the
VHSS so far, this would rank

1701
01:45:29,200 --> 01:45:32,840
really high for me because I
just like the the terminal

1702
01:45:32,840 --> 01:45:35,840
clarity.
This strikes.

1703
01:45:35,840 --> 01:45:41,280
So yeah, this is definitely
worth a watch on Halloween.

1704
01:45:41,920 --> 01:45:45,200
Yeah, I agree.
Steven, you first.

1705
01:45:45,800 --> 01:45:49,000
You're overall No, I mean, I
thought it was.

1706
01:45:49,000 --> 01:45:51,480
I thought it was fine.
And again, anthology movies for

1707
01:45:51,480 --> 01:45:54,360
me tend to be a little more hit
or miss just because there's so

1708
01:45:54,360 --> 01:45:57,200
many different pieces and you've
and again, because people don't

1709
01:45:57,200 --> 01:45:59,840
know how to put together in
anthologies, a lot of that the

1710
01:45:59,840 --> 01:46:04,000
rise and fall the over because
it's one cohesive it it's one

1711
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:07,560
film, but the pieces are all
usually directed by different

1712
01:46:07,560 --> 01:46:10,440
people and in different, you
know, configuration.

1713
01:46:10,440 --> 01:46:14,160
So the effectiveness of the
overall anthology plays a role.

1714
01:46:14,720 --> 01:46:17,320
So again, anthology is usually
for me, not something I seek out

1715
01:46:17,320 --> 01:46:18,680
because again, they tend to be
hit or miss.

1716
01:46:18,920 --> 01:46:20,960
That said, this one's a lot of
fun.

1717
01:46:20,960 --> 01:46:24,760
Again, it it fits the vibe, it's
the theme is theming.

1718
01:46:24,880 --> 01:46:28,280
Like it absolutely works.
It absolutely fits fits the

1719
01:46:28,280 --> 01:46:30,040
vibe.
And again, I think it would be a

1720
01:46:30,040 --> 01:46:34,480
very good Halloween night watch
or just, you know, again, if

1721
01:46:34,480 --> 01:46:37,160
you, if you've got the day off
today, you're just putting on a

1722
01:46:37,160 --> 01:46:41,520
bunch of movies, toss this one
on, you know, MM, you included

1723
01:46:41,520 --> 01:46:44,960
it in your in your Halloween
marathon that we that we

1724
01:46:44,960 --> 01:46:47,280
programmed earlier.
Like you really enjoyed this

1725
01:46:47,280 --> 01:46:47,680
one.
I.

1726
01:46:47,680 --> 01:46:51,080
Love this movie.
This is the re watching it for

1727
01:46:51,080 --> 01:46:54,640
the show Like this is my
favorite of the VHS movies that

1728
01:46:54,640 --> 01:46:57,000
I really enjoy it as a series
overall.

1729
01:46:57,320 --> 01:47:01,600
I've had the good fortune to see
three of them in theaters at

1730
01:47:01,600 --> 01:47:08,240
Fantastic Fest, like I saw Too
Viral and last year's Beyond and

1731
01:47:08,520 --> 01:47:12,920
I wish like I know that Bloody
Disgusting and Shudder sometimes

1732
01:47:12,920 --> 01:47:16,760
do theatrical runs.
I don't know why this doesn't

1733
01:47:16,760 --> 01:47:19,840
get a small theatrical like
because I think this would make

1734
01:47:19,840 --> 01:47:21,600
bank.
Like this is the perfect.

1735
01:47:22,040 --> 01:47:26,000
I wonder Steven, like if your
opinion of this would improve if

1736
01:47:26,000 --> 01:47:29,680
you saw this in a crowded
theater with the with the

1737
01:47:29,800 --> 01:47:33,800
audience it was hyped for.
I think that adds to it because

1738
01:47:33,800 --> 01:47:37,080
I I went back like I when we did
VHS viral.

1739
01:47:37,080 --> 01:47:38,760
I'm like, I really don't like
this movie.

1740
01:47:38,960 --> 01:47:42,560
I found my review of the movie
and I'm like, I really like

1741
01:47:42,560 --> 01:47:45,040
this.
Like watching at home alone was

1742
01:47:45,040 --> 01:47:49,280
such a different vibe and to me,
like it really nails so much of

1743
01:47:49,280 --> 01:47:52,000
why like Halloween is such a
great holiday.

1744
01:47:52,480 --> 01:47:53,880
It hits different segments of
it.

1745
01:47:53,880 --> 01:47:56,040
There's some overlap.
And like you said, Nicole, there

1746
01:47:56,040 --> 01:47:59,520
is some little things that kind
of tie and bind them together.

1747
01:47:59,800 --> 01:48:01,800
There's a great ebb and flow to
it.

1748
01:48:01,800 --> 01:48:05,600
And there's like segments that
really creep you out, segments

1749
01:48:05,600 --> 01:48:09,440
that scare you, segments that
kind of like are a bit puzzling.

1750
01:48:09,440 --> 01:48:12,080
And then there's things that are
like, let's just have some fun.

1751
01:48:12,080 --> 01:48:16,680
But when I tend to be like that
fun size home haunting, those

1752
01:48:16,680 --> 01:48:18,480
are the things that grab me the
most.

1753
01:48:18,480 --> 01:48:24,560
So this is not only my favorite
like VHS movie, but you know, we

1754
01:48:24,560 --> 01:48:28,480
do our top 10 for the year.
I think you'll hear about this

1755
01:48:28,480 --> 01:48:32,080
movie again.
But when we talk about our top

1756
01:48:32,080 --> 01:48:34,720
10 for the year, I really love
this so.

1757
01:48:34,920 --> 01:48:37,800
Yeah, I just, I just tallied up
mine and it's probably not going

1758
01:48:37,800 --> 01:48:39,320
to make the cut, I'm afraid.
No.

1759
01:48:40,520 --> 01:48:42,840
I've there's a few more, there's
a few more big movies of the

1760
01:48:42,840 --> 01:48:46,240
year that I still have to see
that I I feel have a good chance

1761
01:48:46,240 --> 01:48:48,120
of beating him out for the year.
So.

1762
01:48:48,640 --> 01:48:50,720
Yeah, that's fair.
And you know, everyone has like,

1763
01:48:50,720 --> 01:48:53,920
different.
Steven, what role did you play

1764
01:48:53,920 --> 01:48:58,040
in The Pumpkin Man 3?
I was the cop that they call

1765
01:48:58,040 --> 01:49:00,920
when when the when the first
roommate dies.

1766
01:49:01,360 --> 01:49:04,560
I'm the lead investigator on the
case and I'm the guy that they

1767
01:49:04,560 --> 01:49:07,000
call in when when the shit hits
the fan.

1768
01:49:07,600 --> 01:49:10,320
His name is Ed, which is
ironically my father's name.

1769
01:49:11,360 --> 01:49:15,200
I will say that the the comments
seem to be like almost

1770
01:49:15,200 --> 01:49:18,840
universally positive on this
short and it's funny.

1771
01:49:18,840 --> 01:49:21,880
The first segment, the first
comment is that detective is

1772
01:49:21,880 --> 01:49:25,520
really funny actually.
There you go.

1773
01:49:25,520 --> 01:49:28,880
There you go.
I mean, it's the script I did

1774
01:49:28,880 --> 01:49:30,600
do.
I did do a fair, fair bit of ad

1775
01:49:30,600 --> 01:49:34,000
libbing in the interrogation
scene, which again, you'll see.

1776
01:49:34,000 --> 01:49:35,840
Yeah, I know, right?
It's hard to believe.

1777
01:49:36,760 --> 01:49:40,440
Well Steven, aside from the
Pumpkin Man 3, where can our

1778
01:49:40,440 --> 01:49:44,920

1793

We're on a bit of a hiatus right
now while I catch up with life

1794
01:50:29,160 --> 01:50:32,720
and do research, but that one I
do with my friend Hope Lichtner

1795

great Orson Welles.

Yeah, but you can also find me
on the I'm also on the Endless

1797
01:50:38,160 --> 01:50:40,400
Elsewhere podcast Halloween
special this year.

1798
01:50:40,400 --> 01:50:42,440
I'm, I'm one of the lead
characters in that.

1799
01:50:42,440 --> 01:50:45,280
So all sorts of places you can
find me these days.

1800
01:50:45,680 --> 01:50:49,000
Is the Fossum network short for
four possums?

1801
01:50:49,360 --> 01:50:53,240
Is it the only network created
by possums and four possums?

1802
01:50:53,960 --> 01:50:56,520
I think it stands for Fucking
Awesome.

1803
01:50:57,200 --> 01:50:59,800
OK.
But you can't put fucking in

1804
01:50:59,800 --> 01:51:04,840
like a, so it's fossum.
OK, so it's not Foss.

1805
01:51:05,040 --> 01:51:08,720
No, it's FAWE.
Well, that makes a lot more

1806
01:51:08,720 --> 01:51:10,240
sense.
Right.

1807
01:51:11,600 --> 01:51:13,960
OK.
I think you just broke Nicole.

1808
01:51:14,640 --> 01:51:17,520
I think I did.
Nicole, where can we find you

1809
01:51:17,520 --> 01:51:17,880
laughing?
I love.

1810
01:51:19,680 --> 01:51:21,480
How you were just so earnest
about that.

1811
01:51:21,520 --> 01:51:24,760
You're like, is this a?
Network.

1812
01:51:24,760 --> 01:51:29,720
Yeah, we, we when I worked at a
school, we once had a meeting

1813
01:51:29,720 --> 01:51:34,120
with the mayor and he came in to
talk with myself, the other

1814
01:51:34,120 --> 01:51:38,240
three counters, the principal
about post COVID, what to do

1815
01:51:38,240 --> 01:51:41,480
about the attendance issue.
Like people were not coming to

1816
01:51:41,480 --> 01:51:43,680
school.
Like it was like really bad.

1817
01:51:44,000 --> 01:51:47,760
And we're spitballing ideas.
And I said with a completely

1818
01:51:47,760 --> 01:51:51,080
straight face, I'm like to the
mayor and my principal, I'm

1819
01:51:51,080 --> 01:51:55,880
like, what if we renamed the
school the Davis Fireworks and

1820
01:51:55,880 --> 01:51:59,640
Ice Cream Factory?
Because kids really like ice

1821
01:51:59,640 --> 01:52:03,360
cream and fireworks and maybe
they think we'll have that and

1822
01:52:03,360 --> 01:52:06,040
they'll come.
And they just looked at me.

1823
01:52:06,040 --> 01:52:08,800
The mayor never met me.
The principal knew.

1824
01:52:09,440 --> 01:52:14,280
And she just after like a 15
second silence she's like what

1825
01:52:14,280 --> 01:52:19,560
the fuck is wrong with you?
You commit to the bit, and

1826
01:52:19,560 --> 01:52:23,360
that's why we love you, Mike.
I do never broke.

1827
01:52:23,560 --> 01:52:25,840
Sorry Nicole.
Where can folks find you?

1828
01:52:26,960 --> 01:52:31,560
Yeah, you can find me over on
Anatomy of the Screen hosting a

1829
01:52:31,680 --> 01:52:36,560
podcast called Bodies of Horror
where I talk about horror films

1830
01:52:36,560 --> 01:52:41,880
through the lands of disability
and chronic illness and talk

1831
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:45,360
about topics also around
caregiving.

1832
01:52:45,360 --> 01:52:48,160
November is National Family
Caregivers Month.

1833
01:52:48,240 --> 01:52:53,240
I work for the organization that
leads National Family Caregivers

1834
01:52:53,240 --> 01:52:55,200
Month.
We set the theme every year, we

1835
01:52:55,200 --> 01:53:00,240
lead the campaign, so it is all
sublease right now.

1836
01:53:00,240 --> 01:53:04,600
It is amazing.
So I'm going to be doing as I do

1837
01:53:04,600 --> 01:53:08,920
every November, some episodes
that really zero in on

1838
01:53:09,560 --> 01:53:13,520
caregiving because caregiving is
a part of that journey.

1839
01:53:13,600 --> 01:53:18,560
Outside of that you can find me
sometimes on Blue Sky really bad

1840
01:53:18,560 --> 01:53:26,160
about doing Blue Sky.
Like I want to, I want to say

1841
01:53:26,240 --> 01:53:28,480
things, but I just feel like I'm
not cool.

1842
01:53:28,840 --> 01:53:30,760
Or witty.
That's not true at all.

1843
01:53:32,520 --> 01:53:35,480
So.
But no, I started last night so

1844
01:53:35,480 --> 01:53:42,000
after I had watched VHSI have a
tradition that one of the only

1845
01:53:42,000 --> 01:53:47,880
things I will watch in the hotel
room are the 10,000 reruns and

1846
01:53:47,880 --> 01:53:51,400
marathons of Law and Order SVU.
Just because it doesn't matter

1847
01:53:51,400 --> 01:53:56,680
what day, it doesn't matter what
time zone you're in, any time

1848
01:53:57,440 --> 01:54:03,840
today there is an episode of Law
and Order SVU playing somewhere.

1849
01:54:04,120 --> 01:54:06,000
Absolutely.
And I will watch it.

1850
01:54:06,040 --> 01:54:12,640
And so I started like basically
just like going through episodes

1851
01:54:12,640 --> 01:54:15,280
and being like, I'm now watching
this episode.

1852
01:54:15,720 --> 01:54:21,160
This episode is bad.
Here's why the hair It was a bad

1853
01:54:21,160 --> 01:54:25,080
time also.
I have watched a total of 0

1854
01:54:25,080 --> 01:54:27,600
episodes of any Law and Order
ever.

1855
01:54:29,680 --> 01:54:31,640
It's wild.
Yeah, that's insane law.

1856
01:54:32,920 --> 01:54:38,560
And Order SVU is really like the
best just because you have in

1857
01:54:38,640 --> 01:54:41,440
older seasons, you have Belzer
who is.

1858
01:54:41,800 --> 01:54:43,280
The best?
Amazing.

1859
01:54:43,840 --> 01:54:48,640
I love iced tea as Otafen Finn
Tutuola.

1860
01:54:48,760 --> 01:54:52,760
It's all good.
So yeah, maybe someday I will do

1861
01:54:52,840 --> 01:54:58,560
a whole like spiel on why this
is both the most problematic but

1862
01:54:58,560 --> 01:55:00,600
also interesting show you.
Can.

1863
01:55:00,960 --> 01:55:03,040
Spend multiple hours, but that's
it.

1864
01:55:03,040 --> 01:55:05,800
That's where you can find me.
And now no one will want to find

1865
01:55:05,800 --> 01:55:06,960
me.
You can also shoot me an e-mail

1866
01:55:06,960 --> 01:55:10,520
at buddybefore@gmail.com.
But one place you might find

1867
01:55:10,520 --> 01:55:13,480
that rent at some point might be
in our patron page, which

1868
01:55:13,480 --> 01:55:16,840
listeners of the show, if you
really love what we do here,

1869
01:55:16,840 --> 01:55:21,520
after after two hours of this,
you're like, give me more, give

1870
01:55:21,520 --> 01:55:25,640
me more of this go to.
Hook it up to my veins, yeah.

1871
01:55:25,760 --> 01:55:31,640
Pwwpatreon.com/pod on the
pendulum where we have about 80

1872
01:55:31,880 --> 01:55:36,640
plus hours of extra content for
the month of October alone.

1873
01:55:37,120 --> 01:55:41,280
We released an episode of Steven
and I talking about 20 times

1874
01:55:41,280 --> 01:55:44,080
James Gunn's Superman, which was
a lot of fun.

1875
01:55:44,640 --> 01:55:47,720
Fun episode.
Ari and I did 2 fan

1876
01:55:47,720 --> 01:55:50,400
commentaries.
As of right now the Dead to

1877
01:55:50,400 --> 01:55:53,880
Silence fan commentary is up so
you can cue that movie up.

1878
01:55:53,880 --> 01:55:58,080
James Wan's under appreciated.
I don't want to say classic, but

1879
01:55:58,080 --> 01:56:01,840
a really fun, I think great
movie for this time of year I

1880
01:56:01,840 --> 01:56:03,360
would say.
Goofy as hell.

1881
01:56:03,480 --> 01:56:07,120
Yeah, that that one.
I think you do kind of have to

1882
01:56:07,120 --> 01:56:09,760
queue up the movie and listen
along with us.

1883
01:56:09,760 --> 01:56:12,400
I could not put that on as a
stand alone episode.

1884
01:56:12,960 --> 01:56:17,000
But we also did an episode which
will drop at midnight on

1885
01:56:17,000 --> 01:56:20,600
Halloween.
A fan commentary on 2007's Rob

1886
01:56:20,600 --> 01:56:24,520
Zombies Halloween and I think
although like it's probably

1887
01:56:24,520 --> 01:56:28,040
better if you watch along with
that movie, you can listen to

1888
01:56:28,040 --> 01:56:30,600
that one on its own.
It's just kind of us kind of

1889
01:56:30,600 --> 01:56:34,080
shooting the shit as we like
talk about that movie and what

1890
01:56:34,080 --> 01:56:36,960
works and what doesn't work for
that was a lot of fun because

1891
01:56:36,960 --> 01:56:39,560
that's a movie that you know
long time listeners know

1892
01:56:39,840 --> 01:56:42,400
fucking.
I hated that movie when it we

1893
01:56:42,400 --> 01:56:45,640
recorded on it and I've come
around on it like I think like

1894
01:56:45,640 --> 01:56:49,480
the fact that the very least
he's doing his own thing

1895
01:56:49,480 --> 01:56:54,120
compared to David Gordon Green.
Just like what else can I do to

1896
01:56:54,160 --> 01:56:56,200
mimic John Carpenter in this
one?

1897
01:56:56,240 --> 01:56:59,920
Please, fans like this movie,
please like our movie.

1898
01:57:00,320 --> 01:57:02,560
It made me kind of respected a
lot more.

1899
01:57:02,560 --> 01:57:08,200
If you you can find me at Mike
Snoonian on Blue Sky once I

1900
01:57:08,200 --> 01:57:11,480
change my handle back to that
because I gave myself like an

1901
01:57:11,480 --> 01:57:16,240
unreadable like, oh, we're doing
spooky names and yeah.

1902
01:57:16,400 --> 01:57:19,760
You're supposed to change just
your your profile name, not your

1903
01:57:19,760 --> 01:57:22,720
full account name.
I realize that I've been trying

1904
01:57:22,720 --> 01:57:25,800
not to use spooky this season.
There's been a lot of writing

1905
01:57:25,800 --> 01:57:27,600
about why it's a problematic
term.

1906
01:57:27,920 --> 01:57:31,440
So I've tried to use scary.
So I've gone with like my ghoul

1907
01:57:31,440 --> 01:57:35,800
boonie and it just doesn't work.
So I'll have to change it back

1908
01:57:35,800 --> 01:57:39,000
to Mike's Noonie and.
It took me like 5 minutes to

1909
01:57:39,000 --> 01:57:41,720
find you the other day when I
was trying to tag our our drafts

1910
01:57:41,720 --> 01:57:43,560
episode.
It's an issue.

1911
01:57:43,880 --> 01:57:47,600
