WISHMASTER 2: EVIL NEVER DIES

WISHMASTER 2: EVIL NEVER DIES

This week Mike and Devaughn are joined by guest Matt Konopka ( Killer Horror Critic ) for a boys night on the town. Along with our fun-loving, wish-granting Djinn, we're hitting our two favorite hotspots the casino, and jail! Join us for a spirited discussion on how this straight to video sequel might be responsible for the downfall of American democracy, why the Djinn should just follow every good grandma's plan of "you catch more flies with honey than vinegar," and how Mike discovered that goth/punk art thieves that are deadly with a pistol are the kind of lady that leave him weak in the knees.

00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:37,600
None.
Hey there everyone, and welcome

2
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,400
to the pod and the pendulum.
We are the show that covers all

3
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,880
of the franchises one movie and
one episode at a time.

4
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,320
As always, I'm your host, Mike
Snoonian, and I am here to make

5
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:54,920
even more wishes this week with
Witch Master 2.

6
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,680
Evil never dies.
What would happen if you took

7
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,920
this movie and Halloween Kills
and they just had to go head to

8
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,560
head?
Like, would evil not die or

9
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,840
would evil die tonight?
Maybe we'll ask that later on.

10
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:13,720
Anyway, this is the 1999 direct
to television sequel to the 1997

11
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,800
film Wishmaster.
I kind of put this little

12
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,560
anecdote down here before we
introduce the Co hosts and our

13
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,320
guests that when I was at high
school, I went to this dance and

14
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:28,360
I remember getting super excited
to get like another girl's phone

15
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,280
number and getting in my like
best friend at the time's car to

16
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,240
go home.
And I was like, I met a girl.

17
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,360
I was super happy.
I'm like 1314 years old and my

18
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,760
friend's dad is like, did you
rub a lamp or something?

19
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,440
And I don't know.
That's the kind of energy I want

20
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,080
to bring to this week's episode
to skip Bowen.

21
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,200
Let's crush some hope and dreams
type of energy with this like

22
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,360
really fun direct to video
movie.

23
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,640
So I am not alone, like I said
before we have sitting in the Co

24
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,000
host chair from the Spectre
Cinema Club and Tainted Love

25
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,120
podcast, Mr. Devon Taylor.
Devon, how are we?

26
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:14,600
I claim which is that I am owed
A5 star review on Apple

27
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,840
Podcasts.
Not the show, just Devon Rev

28
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,680
Rate Devon Taylor.
My impression?

29
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,280
Marginally better.
Sorry Mike, that was awful.

30
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,440
But I love you still.
Devon, did you have a friend

31
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,520
who's like parents were Dicks to
you growing up Like I did?

32
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,440
Like the kind of parents that
are like, you know, we know

33
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,960
you're young and impressionable,
but we're going to be Dicks

34
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,600
anyway.
Like you have any friends,

35
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,240
parents like that?
And now even better, I'm from

36
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,920
Missouri so I just had parents
that were low key racist

37
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:47,400
instead.
Fair enough.

38
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,960
So yes, they did hate.
So yes, they did hate me

39
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,040
actually.
Yeah, good.

40
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,600
Points You got to love Missouri.
Well, we have someone sitting in

41
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,360
the special guest chair today
joining us for the first time.

42
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,920
He is the founder of the site
Killer Horror Critic.

43
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,040
He has By Lines and Arrow Video,
Dread, Central Mandre, Vellum

44
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,320
and many more.
Let's welcome for the first time

45
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,200
special guest Matt Konopka.
Matt, how are we?

46
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,600
Hey guys, I'm good.
Thank you for granting my wish.

47
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,880
We're going to be doing also a
terrible impression.

48
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,800
I want to point well, point out
something.

49
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,480
We are not a video podcast, but
Matt, you look like you would

50
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,360
win like second place in the
like Dave Batista look alike.

51
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,520
Oh really?
Stay.

52
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,560
Fair.
Like I'm like, it's our first

53
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,480
celebrity Batista.
And then I get excited and I'm

54
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,520
like, God, just.
It's not.

55
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,360
Yeah.
No, I just censored that last

56
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,840
week.
No, it's very hot here because I

57
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,320
have to turn off the air
conditionings for these.

58
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,520
So yeah, I just didn't want to
sweat during this.

59
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,480
That's all right.
I just sweat, naturally.

60
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:58,920
It's totally fine.
Yeah.

61
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,960
Matt, I'll pose the same
question I posed at Yvonne.

62
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,920
Did you have any friends whose
parents are, like, the worst?

63
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,000
Just absolute.
I mean, I don't want to say the

64
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,760
worst, but my, my best friend's
parents growing up, his dad was

65
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,320
not like super fond of me
because you wouldn't, you

66
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,800
wouldn't know it to talk to me
now, but I had a very like high

67
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,560
pitched voice when I was a kid
and, and I and so and I would

68
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,400
like scream and make a ton of
noise.

69
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,560
And there, there was one, there
was one night where I was

70
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,480
sleeping over and my friend's
dad just like got really mad at

71
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,240
how much noise I was making and
told me that I had to go home.

72
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:44,240
And, you know, he meant that I
had to go home as soon as I got

73
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,680
up in the morning.
But I took it as like, I had to

74
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,680
go home then.
So I ended up walking home at

75
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,000
like 3 in the morning.
Jesus.

76
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,480
That's fantastic.
And and when he woke up the next

77
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,120
day, my parents were getting
calls of like did Bat, did Mac

78
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,160
come home?
Like we don't know where he is.

79
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,400
Oh man, that's great.
Like we lost your child at our

80
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,600
sleepover, which is not what
we're looking.

81
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,640
For Yeah, but no, he he was a
good guy.

82
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,400
He could just like like a
typical Midwest dad could be

83
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,200
kind of like intimidating when
he got upset.

84
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,200
So got it.
Well what we are looking for

85
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,720
Matt, are your initial thoughts
as our special guest on Witch

86
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,560
Master 2.
Like overall, are you a fan of

87
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,680
the series?
Like when did you first watch

88
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,440
this entry?
Because this is the one we put

89
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,840
out the open call.
You're like, can I hop into Wish

90
00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:37,880
Master 2?
So what is it about this movie?

91
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,240
Well, so I I do really like the
first wish master.

92
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,200
I just think it's a great
showcase of like KMB special

93
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,240
effects, you know, and it's kind
of it kind of came at this time

94
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,320
where it was like The
Expendables for horror in a

95
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,200
sense, because you just you
packed in so many genre

96
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,960
celebrities of the time like
Robert Anglin, Kane Hotter, Tony

97
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:01,920
Todd, Rest in Peace, you know,
just so many.

98
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,120
And so I'm a big fan of the
original.

99
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:10,600
And then the second, well, well,
I would say it's quite a big

100
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:15,000
step down from the first.
It's still fun and entertaining.

101
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,000
You know, you still have some
pretty good effects and Andrew

102
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,120
Duvall just seems like he's
having the time of his life

103
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,720
playing this character.
You know, like, I love his kind

104
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,440
of just like shit eating grin
the entire time that he has.

105
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,360
And I was also listening to the
commentary today and just being

106
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,560
reminded of the fact that he
just does not blink once in the

107
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,600
entire movie.
So I thought it was interesting.

108
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,000
And even at times where he's on
camera for like 2 to 3 minutes,

109
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,120
that's.
Funny, I didn't even notice

110
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,160
that, but you're totally right.
Yeah.

111
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,480
Frozen grin, which we'll
discuss.

112
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,880
Which which is so funny too,
when you consider the fact that,

113
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:57,640
like, his portrayal there is
kind of like the Jinn's sort of

114
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,440
view of like that, that is the
Jinn trying to impersonate a

115
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,600
human being.
You know, like he's trying.

116
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,640
Like that's him trying to fit in
is to be this like shitting in

117
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,520
grin, never blinking fucking
weirdo.

118
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,360
So I just kind of love that
about it.

119
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,840
And you know, and we'll get into
the things that I don't like as

120
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:21,760
much, namely Morgana's arc.
And and it's some of that stuff,

121
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,360
but I just think it's a really
fun movie.

122
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,760
I think I think setting it in
the prison in Vegas is basically

123
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,640
perfect for Witch master.
And so I guess to answer your

124
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:35,120
question, I really, I, I really
enjoy these first two, 3 and 4

125
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,480
not so much.
That's what I've heard.

126
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:42,080
I heard I'm in for a real treat.
Oh, you're, you're having a

127
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,480
first time coming up, huh?
These are all first timers for

128
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,640
me.
Yeah, let me, let me just

129
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,200
prepare you.
You're going to miss Devoff

130
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,800
quite a bit in this role because
he is not in three and four and

131
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,920
you feel it.
We've had a string of movies

132
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,200
this year where I'm like, this
is the worst movie we've ever

133
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,360
covered.
And you just, when you think

134
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,600
you've descended, you've
descended into that like deepest

135
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,760
circle of hell, you get like a
wrong turn 5.

136
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,640
And it's just like my.
Like just because I love what,

137
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,200
because I love watching Mike
squirm.

138
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,880
I'm like rooting for this one to
like take the cake for three to

139
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,560
be the new worst movie we've
ever covered on the podcast.

140
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:27,160
I'm really hoping I'm I'm
excited to see your reaction

141
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:32,280
because but.
Where do they hurt you in a past

142
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,520
life or that's what you want
from, you know, I don't

143
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,240
understand.
Hey, you got to find pockets of

144
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,440
joy where you can, and that's
why.

145
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,799
Hurting me brings you a pocket
of joy.

146
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:44,760
Why have?
Why do you think I've been on

147
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,920
here for like 3 years now?
Yes, that's exactly why Mike.

148
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,520
Last week you're like, you know,
you kind of remind me of the

149
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,280
homeless dude.
And no, I said, you reminded me

150
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,680
of the actor, not the homeless
man you said that you're saying

151
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,200
like.
Almost exclusive homeless

152
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,360
people.
And I'm like, what the fuck?

153
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:07,960
So what is going on Devon?
What about yourself?

154
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,000
Like what is it you've
mentioned?

155
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,200
Like you're here for the Jinn
with the series.

156
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,160
So what are your initial
thoughts on this on the sequel

157
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,440
here?
Yeah, similar to Matt, like I

158
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:22,320
love the jinn that he is, you
know, this otherworldly being

159
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,040
and his just interpretation,
like fascination with humans,

160
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,960
like the way that he interacts.
I love just like how his brain

161
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,520
works.
He goes, OK, where am I going to

162
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,800
find the greediest people?
Let me get myself thrown in

163
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,400
prison.
OK.

164
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,600
I was like, all right, I see
you, Jen.

165
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,320
Like he's he's making economical
moves because it makes sense.

166
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,320
Like there's a lot of greedy
people in prison that would sell

167
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,240
their soul away, You know, for a
wish.

168
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,800
I was like, that's great.
I was like big brain sequel

169
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,640
thinking.
I was like, love that.

170
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,520
So many smokes in prison.
Like so exactly.

171
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,360
And so many cigarettes for him.
He he was in heaven.

172
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,400
I mean, I know we'll get to a
little bit later to how there is

173
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:06,200
kind of there could have been 2
movies here like Gin could Gin

174
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,440
in prison could have been one
movie.

175
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,280
Gin in Vegas could have been
another movie.

176
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,320
But.
But yeah, it's, it's still very

177
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:14,000
fun.
Yeah.

178
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,880
Divov is very fun here.
Like he's getting, he's a little

179
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,480
bit looser.
He gets to be a little bit more

180
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,160
of a Rascal on this one.
He's a little extra cheeky,

181
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:30,400
quite literally, but and and and
which is funny because like, he

182
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:34,000
doesn't need to be Andrew Divov.
That's what I love about the

183
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,960
Jin.
He he just likes Andrew Divov's

184
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,680
face.
Like essentially for him to be

185
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:42,000
Divov in the second movie,
there's no narrative reason for

186
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,920
him to be Demoris, but he he
just likes that face.

187
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:46,720
And I'm like, yeah, that's a
good face.

188
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:51,920
That's a good one for you, Jin.
So yeah, but you know, I think

189
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,800
they are still even though I
think the I think the decrease

190
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:02,240
the step down comes in mainly
the the primary protagonist

191
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,600
characters and their acting and
things like that.

192
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:10,680
But this movie still gives you
really great effects works in

193
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:15,600
certain scenes.
It still gives you the, again,

194
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,880
the the kind of mischievous
humor that the first film

195
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,400
brought.
Like there's still a lot of

196
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,440
things like I, I'd, I'd say like
the, the, the spirit is still

197
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,160
there between this and the
first, just not quite as

198
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:32,520
polished as the first movie is.
But but yeah, so it's, it's

199
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,840
still a really fun ride.
And again, I think it's just a

200
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,760
nice logical step in where the
the Gin would go.

201
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,480
And I love that this movie
cements that the Gin gave

202
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,840
himself the title of Wishmaster
as his prison nickname.

203
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,560
That's canonical for this
series.

204
00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:50,280
And again, I love the Gin for
that.

205
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,840
Like he's such a, he's just such
a he's so random, this guy so

206
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,600
random.
He's he's a character, yeah.

207
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,680
He's a bit mischievous.
I agree with both of you.

208
00:12:00,680 --> 00:12:04,360
Like this is definitely in terms
of the overall quality of the

209
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,080
first movie, Like it is a step
down.

210
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,640
Like you, that first movie, like
you had mentioned, Matt, it's

211
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,720
kind of a who's who of horror
between like Wes Craven

212
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,360
executive producing, Bob
Kurtzman, like stepping into the

213
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:21,640
director's chair, K&B doing like
great special effects.

214
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:27,600
And then you have Robert Anglin,
Kane Hotter, Tony Todd, Reggie

215
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:33,360
Bannister, Ted Ramey, Angus
Scrim doing voice over.

216
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:38,600
Like all of these who's who of,
you know, horror movies at

217
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:44,040
different levels, all of them
like making cameo or, you know,

218
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,320
supporting appearances.
So you get like a real like wow,

219
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,440
like a pretty like for AB movie,
something that's a little bit

220
00:12:52,680 --> 00:12:56,040
better than most.
And this one is you feel like

221
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,040
it's straining with the direct
video.

222
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,320
Like the settings are a lot of
fun, but they're a bit skimpy.

223
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,640
Like there's just not a lot you
can do there.

224
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:08,200
The gin is in human form way
more than monster form, which I

225
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,880
think is actually a plus in this
movie.

226
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,800
Despite like the budget being,
you know, obviously lower and

227
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,800
being able to really tell, it's
still a lot of fun.

228
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,520
It fun because it's just it's so
ridiculous.

229
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,120
It's like such a movie where
like we have like an art heist

230
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,320
and then a prison sequence and
then let's end things in a

231
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:34,760
casino and let's seduce priests.
And it's just so like, what are

232
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,160
we doing here?
Like that kind of energy where

233
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,040
you almost feel like Jack's
shoulder was just like, people

234
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,480
were suggesting things to him
and he's like, sure, why not?

235
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,400
I'll write that in.
Like, who gives a shit?

236
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,000
And.
Well, he definitely seems to

237
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,000
take like sort of a who gives a
shit kind of attitude towards

238
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,200
it, which is what I like about
it.

239
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,040
Because, you know, it's really
funny to listen to him talk

240
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,840
about Wishmaster 2 because he
was approached for the first one

241
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,600
to direct and he turned it down
because he said he thought the

242
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,200
script was terrible.
Which I just think is like, you

243
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,440
know, fun irony compared to what
he ended up what he ended up

244
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,720
writing for Part 2.
I mean he is like as as I as I

245
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,760
had seen you say in your notes
like he is a notorious shit

246
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,760
talker.
Oh my God, yeah, he is.

247
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,480
And and so, yeah.
And so it just feels like for

248
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,040
this entire film, you know, I
almost got the sense of he

249
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,520
didn't even really want to do
this one, even after they said

250
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,760
that he could write the script.
But, you know, he mentions like,

251
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,400
oh, it was a slow time for me.
So it just sort of feels like he

252
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:44,200
just did it.
Because one of the last things I

253
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,720
think he does one other feature
film he does like Inaccurate in

254
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,960
2001.
He does a couple more like

255
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,040
television episodes that he
directs.

256
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,280
And that was like 2004.
But he's 60 by then.

257
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,880
I mean, he's still alive.
He's 80 years old as of this

258
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,120
year in June.
So he's kind of slowing down

259
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,880
anyway.
But it's just, yeah, it's just

260
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,320
ironic.
Like we'll talk a little bit

261
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,000
about him in a moment.
It is funny that they didn't

262
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,080
ask.
Like I think about Wrong Turn to

263
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,880
when I think about this movie in
that this movie just missed out

264
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:25,720
on the DVD boom by a few years.
Like it's 99.

265
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,640
So DVDs are out.
Like I own, I know I own like a

266
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,000
player by this point because I
worked in electronics, but it

267
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,320
wasn't like everybody, everybody
was rushing out to get discs.

268
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,520
Like it was still a pretty big
novelty.

269
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:46,160
And so it's like comes out on
television as opposed to like

270
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:53,160
video cassette or DVD first.
But like Wrong Turn to it's like

271
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,680
mid 2000s.
They know there's a huge market

272
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,960
for like DVDs and they're like
great.

273
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,520
We'll give it a little bit of
money, not as much as the first.

274
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,360
We'll get a young and upcoming
director.

275
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,360
We'll have a lot of fun with it.
And you know, if you listen to

276
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,840
our rankings episode spoiler,
like we rated wrong Turn 2 as

277
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:14,400
the best of the whole series.
And this one, it's like almost

278
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,240
like, well, I, I guess we'll
make one like we'll make a few

279
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,560
bucks on it.
Like you feel that here.

280
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,600
Well.
This one feels like because

281
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,720
again, like the first movie is
like so much of this, like big

282
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:30,760
roll out for horrors, next big
icon, the gin and and then it

283
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,400
didn't quite happen.
So the second movie is like, all

284
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,040
right, let's just Dick around on
this one.

285
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,680
Like who's got ideas?
You know, like, and people just

286
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,200
started being like prison Vegas
and he's like, yes, yes, you

287
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,240
know, you know, like let's do
it.

288
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,280
So like that's kind of the
attitude with this one where the

289
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,400
first one they are really trying
to trying really hard to like

290
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,840
prop up the the gin and
everything and still like kind

291
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,320
of make him like, oh, he's
sinister, he's devious and like,

292
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,280
and this they're just like, Nah,
this guy's here for shits and

293
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,320
gigs and like we're we're going
to fuck around.

294
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,920
And like that's kind of more the
again, this one feels just feels

295
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,599
a little bit more loose the
energy.

296
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,160
Kind of feel like he should have
been thrown in prison.

297
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,040
It should have been a carryover
from the first film where it's

298
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,560
like, hey, there's that
middle-aged dude who hangs

299
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,400
around like girls basketball
games way too much and he

300
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,480
doesn't have a kid and no one's
on his team.

301
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,480
Like that should have been why
he was sent to prison for like

302
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,079
being a weird perv that's not
allowed near schools.

303
00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:31,200
Like that would have been that
would have been amazing if they

304
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,960
did that.
Matt, you just mentioned like

305
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,840
shoulder getting offered to
direct the first one and turning

306
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,400
it down.
Like both Kurtzman and Peter

307
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,360
Aikens, the writer of the first
film.

308
00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:45,960
Like they're they're surprised
to not be act asked back, but

309
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,760
they're not like you figure like
Peter Aikens is like look, I

310
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,080
have 4 unused Hellraiser
scripts.

311
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,760
I can just, you know, control F
for find replace Pinhead with

312
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:01,040
gin and I will have you like a
new script by Tuesday at 9:00

313
00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:02,680
AM.
Like I got your back.

314
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:08,800
But they did not call on him.
Shoulder comes on board and he's

315
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,760
like, well, I didn't think the
first one was any good.

316
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,120
Which is also what he said about
A Nightmare on Elm Street.

317
00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:17,280
Which is crazy, yeah.
Yeah, so the second time he's

318
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:22,560
coming in after Wes Craven, who
executive produces the first

319
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,920
film and is pretty hands on,
like with the scripting process.

320
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:27,920
He's like, yeah, what a be Wes
Craven.

321
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,760
Like what a piece of shit.
Let me show you how it's done.

322
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,440
Step aside, Wes.
This is Jack Shoulder time.

323
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,120
Yeah.
Why didn't Hellraiser go to

324
00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:41,200
prison?
Right, that would be perfect. 10

325
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,160
point that like that would that
would make so much sense.

326
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,600
I mean, there's been like 12
fucking movies and they couldn't

327
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,240
go to prison once.
So it's.

328
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,120
So yeah, this is definitely just
a.

329
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,840
Watching those movies feels like
a jail sentence.

330
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:59,120
So you figure why?
Why wouldn't they do it?

331
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,360
So shoulders like, I want to say
like breakout film, it's 1980

332
00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:10,400
twos alone in the dark, which I
kind of want to say is a

333
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,080
prestige slasher in that like
compared to what you get at the

334
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:18,320
time, like Jack Palace is in
like future Oscar winner Jack

335
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,600
Palace.
Donald Pleasance is on board.

336
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,600
It's a little bit more highbrow.
It it it's a pretty fun movie.

337
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,600
It involves like a bunch of
killers breaking out of a a

338
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,000
mental asylum and then wreaking
havoc.

339
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,920
And what's ironic is it's comes
out in 82 and there's a mass

340
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,080
killer and a goalie mask for
part of it.

341
00:19:38,360 --> 00:19:42,840
In a year later, you get Friday
the 13th with Jason in a hockey

342
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,760
mask and you're like, well,
that's a coincidence.

343
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:49,720
And then in 87 he directs the
Hidden, which is like an entity

344
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,960
that jumps from body to body as
a killer.

345
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,840
And then in 1993 you get Jason
Goes to Hell, which involves

346
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,960
Jason as an entity jumping from
body to body and continuing so.

347
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,000
It's almost like if Jack
Shoulder has any beef, it

348
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,680
shouldn't be with Wes Craven,
but with like, Sean Right and

349
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,920
Franklin Cuso Junior.
Giving him some ammo now.

350
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,960
I I never thought of that, but
you were absolutely right.

351
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,120
Jack Shoulder, if you're
listening, this is your.

352
00:20:19,120 --> 00:20:21,080
This is your time.
But this is your moment.

353
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,920
Actually, Wes is gone.
It doesn't really matter at that

354
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,640
point.
But I mean, very interesting.

355
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:32,400
I mean, I think Nightmare on Elm
Street too definitely deserves

356
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,880
more credit than it's obvious.
I think it's really fantastic.

357
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,280
So I mean, if we're gonna go
with the more superior sequels

358
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,520
that he's done, I really like
what he did with Elm Street too,

359
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:47,240
because I think I think that is
Freddie at his scariest, if I'm

360
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,800
gonna say anything about the
franchise in in that one.

361
00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:53,720
No, yeah, I'm, I'm part of the
group that thinks Nightmare 2 is

362
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,640
actually pretty scary like that.
That was the last scary version

363
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,600
of that franchise.
Well, except for seven.

364
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,600
I think 7 has some good stuff in
it but but no, he's terrifying

365
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,920
in that.
It was the first one I watched.

366
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,360
I remember seeing it like it was
on cable and my friends and I

367
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:13,040
were watching it and hiding
behind the couch for parts of it

368
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,440
and like peeking around the
corner because like I found it

369
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,120
so scary at points and it still
works.

370
00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:22,040
And it's weird because I would
say like this one, there's a lot

371
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:26,280
of queer things and this as
well, but Shoulder kind of

372
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,840
imbues them with a lot of like
also homophobia.

373
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,960
So it's very odd how he and it's
fascinating when you go back and

374
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,840
watch any of the like
documentaries on Elm Street 2 or

375
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,240
anyone, like so many of them are
like, we had no idea we were

376
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,040
making something this gay, like
absolutely.

377
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,240
And and others are like, come
on, how did you not like how did

378
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:48,840
you you saw what we were doing
here.

379
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,080
Look at the props we were using
in the dance.

380
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,040
But it's odd that like, there's
like these two sides of Jack's

381
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,880
shoulder that seem to be at war
with one another in like, these

382
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,560
two movies, so.
He's just just.

383
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,280
Figuring it out, you know he.
He also has the name of a like

384
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:10,440
of a like mob enforcer.
You'll want me to send Jack

385
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:11,800
Shoulder over to you.
That's.

386
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:19,720
It yeah, whoopsie, whoopsie.
So it's this one.

387
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,880
We're moving on.
Like, Tam, was it Tammy Lauren

388
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,920
who played Alex in the first
movie?

389
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,240
I figure I think that's it.
Yeah, we'll fix it in post.

390
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,160
But it's funny.
She's not ass back.

391
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,320
And we talked about this in the
first episode where when you

392
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:40,600
watch, like all the interviews
with like, Divov, he's like

393
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,960
talks about the whole process
and how he gets into character.

394
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,400
And Miss Laurent is like, it was
a movie I did.

395
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,280
I'm actually not a huge fan of
horror.

396
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,120
And when I do these conventions,
I just hope there are no

397
00:22:52,120 --> 00:22:55,680
weirdos, which I thought was
like, I love that energy.

398
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,840
I kind of love that.
She's like, it was a paycheck.

399
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,880
What do you want?
So Holly Fields comes on as

400
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:06,920
Morgana, and I would say like,
you don't see a lot of her on

401
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:11,800
screen in other roles, but she's
a very talented voice actor.

402
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,720
Like she's done, she's.
The video game version of Fiona

403
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,320
for Shrek for the Shrek series.
The Shrek video game series.

404
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,440
She is Fiona.
And she's also in a lot of the

405
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,560
Star Wars video games like the
Knights of the Old Republic

406
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,680
video games, which are
excellent, like one of the best

407
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,280
role-playing games ever.
So she's had like a very long

408
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,920
career and thriving career where
she's done this.

409
00:23:36,120 --> 00:23:41,080
But I would say maybe the person
of most note Tony Tiny Liston.

410
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,400
Yeah, tiny.
You know it's.

411
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,560
Barred.
As much as I love Divov, like I

412
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,120
would have taken like the
second-half of the movie Tiny

413
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,920
playing the gin.
Like the gin inside of Tony.

414
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:58,960
Yeah, yeah, I.
Think that would have been

415
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,120
really fun for, like, the
second-half of the movie.

416
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,760
But, I mean, you know, still,
still love to have off.

417
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,840
But like that, like, because we
get one scene of, of Tiny being

418
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,000
the gin when he does his little
prison escape.

419
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,880
And it was really fun.
And like, I think that could

420
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,200
have been a whole fun thing,
yeah.

421
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,760
That would have been great.
He just loves DeVos face too

422
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,440
much I guess.
Agreed.

423
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:26,000
And it's a much different vibe
when you have like tiny listing

424
00:24:26,360 --> 00:24:30,680
in your face, like with those 20
inch pythons going like make

425
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,720
your wish.
It's like, yes, Sir, there's

426
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,080
something a bit more
intimidating at that point.

427
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,400
It's so.
I will make a wish, I will wish

428
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,200
whatever you want.
Yeah, you tell me what you want

429
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,800
me to wish, Sir.
Just write it down.

430
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:49,000
How do you want me to say it?
And I just please don't hurt me

431
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,840
or my family is all I ask.
So where do you want to start

432
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,080
with this?
Where do you guys want to start

433
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,040
with our talk?
Matt, what is your first?

434
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,640
What is your, what do you want
to talk?

435
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,760
I think we all have the same
note on on Holly fields in this.

436
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,840
Should we start there?
Sure, Yeah, we can start there.

437
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:14,920
I so I, I like her character in
this for the most part, you

438
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:19,160
know, like I, I like what we're
what we start with this kind of,

439
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,720
you know, like goth, punk bank
robber.

440
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,400
You know, she's got all that
going on for her And, and I like

441
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,120
her performance for the most
part.

442
00:25:28,120 --> 00:25:29,720
You know, I think it fits the
film.

443
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:38,080
And then it just does this very
like puritanical kind of

444
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:42,440
bullshit where it's like, you
know, that that to me just felt

445
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:47,680
so late 90s in the sense where
she goes on this redemption arc

446
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,760
of which I, I don't mind the
redemption arc.

447
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,920
You know, I, I think, I think
like having a character kind of

448
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,560
going through this difficulty of
having killed someone and, you

449
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,240
know, feeling the guilt over
that.

450
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,920
Like all of that's great.
And it adds a good depth to her.

451
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:07,520
But I think that the concept of
well, she's redeemed because she

452
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,560
took out her piercings and is
wearing white instead of black

453
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,480
now like that, that like she
gets Ally sheeted basically from

454
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:19,120
the Paris Club and like that
kind of stuff always just pisses

455
00:26:19,120 --> 00:26:21,640
me off.
It's really.

456
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,760
Bad like because she is really
cool to kind of start off with

457
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,200
and like has like a fun energy
to her.

458
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,080
And then, yeah, like, I love how
all it takes to purify herself

459
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:35,200
is, oh, you cut your pinky off
and then you go confess your

460
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:36,960
sins and then, Nope, you're good
now.

461
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,240
Which is, yeah, it's all really
weird.

462
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,920
And then even and then, like the
religious stuff, then they take

463
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,600
even further, putting the pastor
guy on the cross later.

464
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:47,720
Like, I mean, it's it's really
weird.

465
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:53,720
But like, yeah, unfortunately,
Morgana, I mean like she won

466
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,560
crazy at the beginning.
Like an art heist should not

467
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,760
result in the death of like 5
people.

468
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:05,520
Like imagine shooting, imagine
shooting a cop over a painting

469
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,880
and then like getting death
sentenced apparently.

470
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:12,840
Like what are you doing here?
So one terrible art thieves,

471
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,840
this group here.
I mean she like they cut the

472
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,240
painting out of the you ruined
it.

473
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,000
What are you doing?
Right, it's not worth anything

474
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,240
now.
So she's a terrible art thief

475
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,000
and they.
Just smash the glass.

476
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,640
Like if you've seen any movie
where there's an art heist, like

477
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:34,240
even the great Muppet caper I
believe like when Charles Grodin

478
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:38,280
goes to rob the huge gem, it's
like if you break the glass the

479
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,560
alarms will go off.
Like, have you never seen a

480
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:41,720
movie?
Right.

481
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,800
Like what's that Pierce Brosnan
movie where he's an art thief?

482
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,400
Like how did you not watch that
and know?

483
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,720
This Thomas Crown affair is
that.

484
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:53,720
Yes, yes, that's what I think.
I just pulled that one right out

485
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,480
of my ass to be quite honest,
just don't know how.

486
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,800
That was perfect.
Well, just fun.

487
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,240
Quick note.
I thought during the commentary,

488
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,000
I thought it was kind of funny
because they make a note of

489
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,840
like, we're all saying she's
such a terrible art thief.

490
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,880
But they point out like, well,
she must be doing pretty OK

491
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,800
because she's got this loft in
Los Angeles, which, you know, if

492
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,000
anyone knows, it's like, not
that cheap.

493
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:18,560
You know what?
It's a nice looking place.

494
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,720
Yeah, to be fair, it's the 90s
and I've said this before, the

495
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,840
90s or a time when like you
could have a super low paying

496
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,440
job and like it's a you could
just like I'm just going to wash

497
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,760
dishes 20 hours a week and still
maybe live with like one other

498
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,800
roommate in a decent place and
like just pursue your hobbies,

499
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:43,120
whether that's art, thieving or
obviously like she likes to go

500
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,680
to the gun club because she's
pretty good with her aim, even

501
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,440
under pressure.
Like I sent the note to Devon

502
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,680
and the rest of the Co hosts.
Like when I'm watching this, I'm

503
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:58,720
like didn't know this, but goth
women that are deadly with a

504
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,760
pistol and are art thieves
Totally my bag.

505
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:06,480
Like so into it.
Just let me call you mommy and I

506
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,880
am, I am there like.
I mean, hey, you, you even even

507
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,360
the gin was down, down battle a
little bit from Morgano, but

508
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,080
that one line is like he's like,
oh, yeah.

509
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,280
I I, I wanting that sweet
little, that cute little last

510
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,560
myself.
I was just like, okay, I was

511
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,080
like, she's got everybody.
She's got the pastor questioning

512
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,480
his faith.
She's got the gin all randied

513
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,120
up.
Like I mean more guys got going

514
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:37,560
on until she is then put in the
worst dress and terrible shoes

515
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:42,040
and even makes a her.
Her haircut was already bad to

516
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,840
start off with but she was
making it work and then she made

517
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,520
it work.
No and then she made it work.

518
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,600
She was working it to begin with
and then when she purified

519
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,200
herself, made it worse.
I mean, I'm, I'm all for the

520
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,400
hair originally.
It's it's not great, but it's

521
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,040
not terrible.
But but no, but like, even the

522
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,640
film gets it, you know, I mean,
she's constantly like, not this

523
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,600
is necessarily a good thing, but
it's like she's constantly

524
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,960
objectified by the camera.
You know, we have all these

525
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,600
scenes of of her in like her,
her underwear, sleeping in bed

526
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,880
and everything, which was not a
thing in the original, if I

527
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,080
remember correctly.
So it's like, you know, the film

528
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,960
gets it, and then it's just
like, but what if we made her?

529
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,520
Boring.
Yeah.

530
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,040
Well, see, that's, well, that's
Jack Shoulder being like and

531
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:25,800
Jack Shoulder's like.
They're not going to question

532
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,280
this being the gay one this
time.

533
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,520
Look at this hot lady.
Let me show you this hot lady

534
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,000
that I love.
Don't question me.

535
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,640
And I love when, like, she
seduces her best friend, the

536
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,920
priest, and he's like, I don't
think this is how you get into

537
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,840
heaven.
And she's like, don't be so

538
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,440
sure.
And I'm like, damn, that's a

539
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:44,520
hotline.
Like.

540
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:49,560
Hell yeah.
SO11 Really funny thing about

541
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,680
her and that seduction scene
too, is she's got the classic

542
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,520
late 90s well.
Would carry over into the early

543
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,800
2000s.
The thong above the jeans, like

544
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:05,320
coming out, that's back now
people that that recently people

545
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,160
are doing that again.
So it was kind of funny to see

546
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,120
that.
Way to the East Coast, yet it is

547
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,920
not made out.
It's it's happening out here.

548
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,080
That's not the the thongs are
out again.

549
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,080
And but yeah, I love like his
reaction because like they're

550
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,560
like talking about like, Oh
yeah, I can just I'll defeat the

551
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,280
gym by doing this ritual.
And homie pastor guy goes, he's

552
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,600
like, well, that only works if
you're pure.

553
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,600
And like gives her just like the
like just the slut shamiest look

554
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,200
I've ever seen in my life.
I was like fuck you man.

555
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,760
Yeah, like what a Dick and.
Then he sleeps with her and then

556
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:44,320
he's like, but you know, he's
like doing the math in his head.

557
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,080
He's like, all right, as a
priest, how many rosaries and

558
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:52,320
our fathers and confession do I
have to do if I do the nasty?

559
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,920
And he's like, is it worth it?
And I would say he airs in the

560
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,160
right side.
He's like he's.

561
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,280
Like Morgana, God gave us boners
for a reason.

562
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:05,320
I must.
I must.

563
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,000
So it's great.
But I like Morgana.

564
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,560
I like that.
Like she's a bit more.

565
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,000
She's like a little bit more
clever than I think you're

566
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,240
initially meant to lead on.
Like when she at the end of the

567
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:22,040
film, when she has to confront
the gin, she's much better at

568
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,880
like how she's like, wording her
wishes.

569
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,560
So she's trying like a lot of
different fake outs and things.

570
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:33,080
Like she's very careful in what
she says in order to not let the

571
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,920
mayhem spread.
And she's clearly done her

572
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,000
homework.
And obviously the gin has as

573
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,040
well.
Like the gin has gone back and

574
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,440
like rewritten some of the code.
He's like, Oh no, you're not

575
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,800
getting away with this.
I wish you weren't here.

576
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,120
Go back in your thing.
He's like, Nope, Nope, Nope.

577
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,640
Like can't go against can't.
She said, she said I wish this

578
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,880
movie, but she goes I wish all
the evil in the world was gone.

579
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,080
He's like, no, you can't do
that.

580
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,160
The world needs evil.
It's gotta be balanced.

581
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,280
Is a funny one.
I'll say in this one, they

582
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:10,200
actually he is more strict on it
being people saying that they

583
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,800
have to wish.
In this one, he isn't able to

584
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,760
like really like kind of sneak
it on people because there's a

585
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,000
few times that other people will
just straight up deny him.

586
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:20,600
There's like he's like, is that
what you?

587
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,440
He's like, is that a wish?
Is that a request?

588
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,560
And they're like, no, I'm
telling you it's a command.

589
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:26,680
And I was like.
OK.

590
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:28,760
Well, that's fair.
He just cheat a little bit

591
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,920
though, because I think there's.
That not as much as the first

592
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:32,040
movie, though.
The first movie?

593
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,200
He's cheating left and right in
the first movie, yeah.

594
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,120
Not as much as the first movie,
but there's that.

595
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,600
The moment in the beginning
where I'm pretty sure, unless I

596
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,160
got this wrong, a cop just
points a gun at him and goes

597
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,200
freeze and he goes as you wish.
And then he just turns.

598
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,600
Yeah, it's like but.
He didn't even wish anything.

599
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,240
He didn't say I wish to be
frozen myself.

600
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:51,880
Yeah, that's the.
Other thing, he's a little bit

601
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,360
of freeze.
Yeah.

602
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,760
So that is definitely like we.
Said last.

603
00:33:55,760 --> 00:34:00,360
Time the gin is definitely the
original reply guy on the

604
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,840
Internet.
He's definitely, you know,

605
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,360
arguing semantics.
I yeah, I made that same note.

606
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:12,400
I'm like, A, that's not a wish
and B, he's not the one asking

607
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,360
to be frozen.
Like, he's not like saying, man,

608
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,960
like it's so hot out here.
I wish like, you know, I wish I

609
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,800
had like an ice cold snow cone.
And he's like, great.

610
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,800
And then he like, traps him in a
giant igloo, like it's not doing

611
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,360
anything.
But I love the detective who

612
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,360
arrests him and like,
absolutely, it's like, I'm the

613
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,719
one that asks the questions
here, not you.

614
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:38,600
And he absolutely won't buy into
any of like the gin's bullshit.

615
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,719
And then when the gin like
leaves, he's like, oh, man, that

616
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:45,639
guy gives me the creep.
Like he's the he's the one guy

617
00:34:45,639 --> 00:34:48,880
in any of these movies that's
like, Nope, I am not going to

618
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,480
fall for this.
And he doesn't even know because

619
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:55,560
he's just like an angry, pissed
off detective with way too much

620
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,200
on its plate.
I kind of love that.

621
00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:02,680
Yeah.
Well, and it is something that

622
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,440
that's a little bit different
this time around because there's

623
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,680
him, but then there's you get
the sense that like the Jin's

624
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,920
having a little more trouble
than usual in this one trying to

625
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,880
get people to go along with
these wishes.

626
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:18,040
Because, I mean, you know, the
the prison maybe should have

627
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,600
gone a little bit differently
after a guy walks through the

628
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,480
bars and, you know, ends up a
meat sack.

629
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,640
But you would you would think
that the other prisoners would

630
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,000
maybe not make any wishes after
that.

631
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:33,680
But but there are quite a few
characters, I feel like who are

632
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:37,200
kind of like, no, I'm not, I'm
not going to get involved in

633
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:38,680
this.
Like you go make wishes with

634
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,040
these guys and you know, it
just, I don't know.

635
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,480
I like the despite being in the
prison setting, he's still kind

636
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:48,400
of having to like really work to
get these characters.

637
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,720
Amazing.
I've only got 200.

638
00:35:50,720 --> 00:35:54,560
I need 800 more that he's
putting in the time.

639
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,720
Like he's definitely putting in
the time here.

640
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,920
Oh, yeah, I mean, well, yeah,
'cause there's, there's like

641
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,240
stuff we didn't see.
Because at one point when Tiny

642
00:36:04,240 --> 00:36:06,320
is like, he's like, he's like,
there's been more fights.

643
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,600
He's like, there's been an
increase in contraband.

644
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,200
So like he's been stimulating
the prison economy with his

645
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,200
wish, with his wish granting is
is very fun.

646
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:20,320
A funny concept and like
whenever like and like how he's

647
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,480
like stepping on other people's
terms and it's like and and when

648
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,080
every time grant somebody wish
he always goes.

649
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,360
I didn't tell your friends like
a like, creepy salesman or

650
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,920
something, but like, yeah, so it
increases Rep while in prison.

651
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,240
So like, I'd like to see like, I
mean, we only see, you know, so

652
00:36:36,240 --> 00:36:38,160
much.
But like, because he has

653
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,960
multiple stints in the hole, so
he spends at least a month or so

654
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,440
in in prison.
Like he didn't just like do like

655
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,720
a like quick like in and out.
He was like, all right, I'm

656
00:36:46,720 --> 00:36:49,840
gonna let you know, see how long
I can ride this out.

657
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,120
I love his.
I love his reaction to time.

658
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,680
He's like, he's like, he's like,
I'm gonna put you in the hole

659
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,480
for a week and he just like
starts.

660
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,680
He just goes, ha, he's like I've
done, He's like, I've been in a

661
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,440
hole for 3000 years ago.
That'll be a breeze.

662
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,240
Yeah, not not to mention The
Breakfast Club again, but it's

663
00:37:06,240 --> 00:37:10,000
like that, you know, where he
keeps adding on detentions.

664
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,080
Oh my God, just the back and
forth of it.

665
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,360
But you have to wonder like, how
is this prison not just noticed,

666
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:21,240
you know, like 100 plus
prisoners probably just not

667
00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:24,320
there anymore because because
you have to think most of them

668
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,440
are wishing like get me the fuck
out of here, right?

669
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:33,440
Well, here's the other problem
with the gin is that like his

670
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,960
whole thing is to get people to
like want to make wishes.

671
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,720
And like you said, Matt, when
you turn a guy into Hamburger

672
00:37:40,720 --> 00:37:44,440
Helper and then like press him
through the prison bars, like

673
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,000
you're immediately, if you
witnessed that, you're going to

674
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,680
be like.
I'm But that was at the holding

675
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,160
cell.
That wasn't there.

676
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,920
That wasn't there.
He wasn't in yet.

677
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:57,600
No, but there are six or seven
other holding cell people in

678
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,440
there, right?
So that should have been an easy

679
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:04,560
7 wishes granted.
So there's the whole adage like

680
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,840
you get more flies with honey
than you do.

681
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:10,600
Vinegar.
So if the and he gets the soul

682
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,200
either way.
Like The thing is, he can

683
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,600
collect these souls at any time.
Yeah, yeah, that, that is the

684
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,360
interesting thing when he
chooses to.

685
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:18,640
Kill someone randomly?
Yeah.

686
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,160
Yeah, and he's.
Just being a Dick, like he's

687
00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:23,440
just a bully.
Cause most of the time he saves

688
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,320
it for later.
He's like, oh, he's like, I'll

689
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,440
get your soul later.
And he like does his like mass

690
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:28,960
collection at the end of the
movie.

691
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,480
But like, yeah, sometimes he's
just like, you know what,

692
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,640
actually, let me go ahead.
Like but it it made sense when

693
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,760
he killed butts.
Like cause butts is like kind of

694
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:40,480
fucking shit up.
If he got those like 1000, he

695
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,800
got like that one guy, I just
want to walk out of here.

696
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,200
It's like great door opens, guy
walks out.

697
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,400
You look at the other six guys
like, what can I do for you

698
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:49,160
guys?
Right?

699
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,240
He's not, he's working harder,
not smarter.

700
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:56,520
Like he's like, because like it
takes a fair amount of creative

701
00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:00,960
ingenuity to think about, OK,
this guy wants to walk out of

702
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,080
the walk through the prison
bars.

703
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:08,720
How am I going to do this in a
way that, like, tickles my

704
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,880
tickles my artistic bone like he
really has to?

705
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,000
That's really what it is at the
end of the day.

706
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,800
He, he's, he's entertaining
himself, you know, again, he's

707
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,800
been, he's spent, you know, many
millennia locked inside.

708
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,960
I mean, you, you, when we go
back to the gin's place, we see

709
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,120
what it's like there.
You know, it's not he even he, I

710
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:26,600
love him.
He goes.

711
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:30,760
It's not exactly happy.
It's really funny, but like

712
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,520
also, so he's out in the human
world.

713
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,520
So he's like, he's like, I'm
gonna get my souls.

714
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,200
He's like, but I don't need to
get it right away.

715
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,280
Let me enjoy this for a minute.
Let me have.

716
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:41,440
Fun.
He's not though.

717
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,360
He's so mad.
He's like, you know, if he was

718
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,400
like, this is like a holiday for
me being out.

719
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,320
You know, I'm in Vegas, you
know, I'm going to the clubs I'm

720
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,680
going to meet.
You know, Siegfried and Roy are

721
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,360
on tap.
Like I've, you know, I think by

722
00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:00,520
that point, like, I don't know,
Sinatra live in 99, I don't

723
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,000
remember.
But Don Rickles would have been

724
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,160
in residency in Vegas.
I'm going to catch a couple

725
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,920
shows like there's no hurry.
Like there's but he's like, no

726
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,960
man, I got to we got to get this
moving along.

727
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,040
And the other part of it is his
whole thing is he wants to get

728
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,400
his gin buddies out.
So he needs 3 wishes.

729
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:22,480
So if you're Morgana and you see
what this guy is doing where

730
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:26,400
you're like, well, you know, my
criminal boyfriend is dead.

731
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,360
I'm having these horrific
nightmares.

732
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:33,120
The only good option in front of
me is like a priest with like a

733
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,240
Major League Baseball players
goatee and bad hair.

734
00:40:36,240 --> 00:40:39,200
Like you know, like if you went
to Morgana, I was like look at

735
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,400
all these great things I've done
and they only get one wish you

736
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,440
get 3.
What would you like?

737
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:49,120
And he just, you'd get do 2 nice
things and then she's like, you

738
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:53,400
know what, hell yeah, like what
do I want for #3 And then, you

739
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,960
know, it's like a gin party at
that point.

740
00:40:56,160 --> 00:41:00,760
But he just has to be that guy.
He's like you want.

741
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,760
To release him, wait.
Wait till you meet his gin

742
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:07,720
buddies because that's coming,
Mike, right, you do get to you

743
00:41:07,720 --> 00:41:09,960
do get to meet some gin buddies
here soon.

744
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:14,680
Don't be worried.
I just love how Mike is like,

745
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:16,360
listen, Gin, you're doing it all
wrong.

746
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,440
Let me show you how this is
done.

747
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,960
OK, But, but I mean, you're
absolutely right.

748
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,120
Like, you know, I mean, here's
this guy who's just walking

749
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:28,160
around again with that grin, not
blinking and and turning people

750
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:29,480
in, as you said, Hamburger
Helper.

751
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:34,200
And it's like, that's not really
the guy that I think I trust,

752
00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:36,560
you know, like that's not
approachable person.

753
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:40,240
He's The thing is he's cocky
because once again, why does he

754
00:41:40,240 --> 00:41:45,400
want to be Andrew Divov?
This kind of short ish guy that

755
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:49,440
has a pedo smile.
He could easily go get a model's

756
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:50,480
face.
He could.

757
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,200
I mean, he's still a hands on
the guy, but I mean, come on.

758
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,720
He looks like he hangs out at
playgrounds, but like he could

759
00:41:56,720 --> 00:41:58,880
easily go get a model's face or
something.

760
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,920
Make this yeah, super easy.
But he's cocky so.

761
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,520
It's interesting cuz I listened
to the whole commentary for this

762
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:12,480
one hoping to get an answer to
why does he do the performance

763
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:17,640
this way in Part 2?
Why does he always have that

764
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:19,960
smile?
Because because I, I just

765
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:21,560
watched the first one again this
morning.

766
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,080
And like, he doesn't do that.
He's a little more, he's a

767
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,880
little more suave in the first
one, you know, like he's he's,

768
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,800
he's a little more manipulative
in it.

769
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:34,120
And and I just I just really
want an answer of like was this

770
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:35,520
a note from?
Jack.

771
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,720
Like, did you like did like, did
Jack look at the first one and

772
00:42:39,720 --> 00:42:42,840
he's like, no, that's stupid.
Robert Kurtzman was stupid for

773
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,400
having to do that.
I'm I'm genius like.

774
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,320
He he's just walking around.
He's just walking around set and

775
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,000
he's like, hey, Andrew, do the
face.

776
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,000
And Andrew like makes the smile
and he laughs to himself and

777
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,360
he's like, yeah, yeah, keep
that.

778
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,880
Or it's like the energy of like
when a kid does 1 funny thing at

779
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:01,360
a family gathering and then just
like can't stop doing it.

780
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,160
That's him with the face in this
movie.

781
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,600
Do you think he's like, if you
don't do the face, I will put

782
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:10,280
you in the makeup chair and you
have to wear this whole bodysuit

783
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:14,840
and it's like 4 hours to get in,
two hours to get out and do

784
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:16,360
office.
Like I will do whatever you

785
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,800
want.
Just please, please don't make

786
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:23,120
me like be the gin the whole
movie because he is not the gin

787
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,240
for a lot of it.
Like you almost feel like he

788
00:43:25,240 --> 00:43:30,160
could do all of that work in a
couple days of shooting, which I

789
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,680
prefer.
Like I actually kind of prefer

790
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,840
it in human form.
It's just it's just because in

791
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,760
partly is because of the facial
tics.

792
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:42,720
Like I said last time, he looks
like Seth MacFarlane, who's like

793
00:43:42,720 --> 00:43:45,720
seeing a lot of shit go down
like that is what he.

794
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,880
I say that's accurate.
Well, and and see, and that's

795
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,720
the thing again, like that's
that's really what Divov adds.

796
00:43:51,720 --> 00:43:54,320
It's not like because again,
like in the next movie, like

797
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:58,160
Novak, I think he's fine as the
gin, but you never see Novak in

798
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,680
his human form.
It's always the gin played by

799
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:04,000
different actors, which I think
was always meant to be the case

800
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,280
for the fact that they give the
gin this ability to take faces

801
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,760
and assume I days.
So they just, they just struck

802
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,880
gold with Divov to where they
were like, we got to get him to

803
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,720
be in the human form again, even
though he again doesn't need to.

804
00:44:17,720 --> 00:44:21,280
Be as much as like.
I don't want to spoil what I'm

805
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:25,000
sure is the masterpiece that is
Wish Master 3.

806
00:44:25,240 --> 00:44:27,960
Is it meant to be like a
different Gin?

807
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:34,480
I that's a good question that
that is, I had a theory because

808
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:39,000
I watched the series originally.
I did like a whole watch thread

809
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,680
on Twitter.
So like you can go back and if

810
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:42,240
you want to see my like initial
reactions.

811
00:44:42,240 --> 00:44:44,840
But I did have the theory that
I'm like, because at first they

812
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,960
make it seem like it's the same
gin, but then there are clues

813
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:49,600
that it could be a different
gin.

814
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,000
So it is, you know, kind of
Spidey there.

815
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:56,480
But again, it's like devolve
adds so much like cuz he does do

816
00:44:56,480 --> 00:45:00,440
the he is also the one in the
makeup for this, but he adds so

817
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,720
much more in that human form
that again, like they kind of,

818
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,880
you know, skirt around their own
thing that they set up or he's

819
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:08,640
like, you know, to be this body
hopper.

820
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,160
But again, he's just like, you
know, the gin's just like, I

821
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,720
like this guy's face.
I like them baby blue eyes.

822
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:17,520
And I love how he keeps his
thing of wearing suits.

823
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,880
As soon as he gets out of prison
he goes and gets himself a good

824
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,560
suit before they go to the club.
Yeah, and I mean it, it makes

825
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:28,720
sense for Divov just as an actor
because I mean, you know, at

826
00:45:28,720 --> 00:45:31,920
this point, like you've come a
long way from your your little

827
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,680
bit role-playing a monster in
Neon Maniacs.

828
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,480
You know, like now you're now
you're the star.

829
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,320
Like you are the the horror
franchise icon.

830
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:43,880
Like, why wouldn't you want to
be, you know, out of the make up

831
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:45,920
and getting to just perform the
whole time?

832
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:50,840
But again, I just really want to
know what inspires this

833
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:52,040
particular performance.
Frozen.

834
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:56,960
Smile is definitely it's UN
because it's not even it's just

835
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,960
like it pulls you out of it.
Do you know what I?

836
00:45:59,960 --> 00:46:04,480
Mean it's the it's the the scene
that got me with it is whenever,

837
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:09,120
whenever.
Fuck, what Pastor Gregory, when

838
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:13,200
he goes to see the gin in prison
because she's like, you got to

839
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,840
see his, like, you just got to
see him like you, you know, when

840
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,480
you see it, you know, And then
he's just like, oh, this guy is

841
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:20,880
not of this world.
And he's just like, he just sits

842
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,440
down across from the gym with
this horrified look.

843
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,320
And it's just Andrew DeVos
smiling.

844
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:30,200
And it's a really funny exchange
that they have.

845
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,520
It was and like it.
Takes you out of it, but it's

846
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:35,400
fun.
It's really funny.

847
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:39,280
I like because, again, one of
his cheekier remarks.

848
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,520
When Gregory's like, he's like,
he's like, oh, what are you, the

849
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:44,160
devil?
And he's like, you got the wrong

850
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:44,720
guy.
Yeah.

851
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,760
Well, so Speaking of that, I
have to mention this is like

852
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,560
this was another thing that I
felt like made its way in the

853
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:55,160
horror a lot, especially in
1999.

854
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:58,240
I mean, you had so many
religious horror films that year

855
00:46:58,240 --> 00:47:01,760
from like Stigmata and
Resurrection and End of Days,

856
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:03,320
like.
Yeah, that was like

857
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:07,960
Schwarzenegger as well, right?
Yeah, so it was like a big

858
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,080
theme.
Though I mean, turn of the

859
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:14,640
century, new millennia, right?
And that was the year of Y2K and

860
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:19,200
thinking like when the clock
strikes midnight, everybody is

861
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:22,080
like the clocks, the computer
clocks are going to roll over

862
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:25,880
and not handle it and planes are
going to fall from the sky like,

863
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,040
and none of that.
Obviously, and none of it

864
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,840
happened, thank God, but we we
all thought it did at the time.

865
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,360
But but, but you know, so you
had a lot of that working into

866
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:37,400
horror at the time.
And I just, I just found it so

867
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:41,640
funny how you have this priest
character who is referring to

868
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,720
the wishmaster as the devil.
And the witchmaster is flat out

869
00:47:44,720 --> 00:47:47,600
like, no, that's not, that's not
me.

870
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,080
And he just insists like, no,
you're the devil.

871
00:47:50,240 --> 00:47:52,280
Like my religion owns
everything.

872
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,600
He holds up a.
Crucifix at one point like the

873
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,600
Jinnah's entire and it's like,
bro, come on, what do we?

874
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,680
It's like wrong religion man.
Like, come on, what are we?

875
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:07,280
Doing and again he he like fakes
the like and then just reveals

876
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:11,360
that smile again like he really
was milking that smile like it's

877
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:15,320
so funny.
Speaking of funny, let's talk

878
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:22,760
about Hastika a little bit then,
because like played by Vito

879
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:26,560
Ruginus, and I'm probably
mispronouncing that, but Hostic

880
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,720
is fascinating a because he's
hilarious.

881
00:48:29,720 --> 00:48:33,360
Like, who doesn't need like a
little Russian sidekick in all

882
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,400
of these movies?
Like fucking phenomenal.

883
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,040
You know?
I feel like David Harbour is

884
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:44,040
taking notes before he goes to
play his character in

885
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,800
Thunderbolts.
Like taking notes from Haastika

886
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,480
here and how to play.
Wait, who are?

887
00:48:49,720 --> 00:48:50,560
You what?
The Russians.

888
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,400
Saying Krutchkov, you mean?
Am I saying the wrong?

889
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,920
Who are you even?
Saying the wrong character I I

890
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:57,600
To be fair, I.
Didn't you literally just

891
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:00,400
made-up a Russian name?
His name is Krutchkov.

892
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:02,280
I think it's I'm looking at.
I am.

893
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,840
OB Krutchkov.
Really.

894
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:07,120
Is it?
Oh well.

895
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:10,200
I I think it might list them as
Hostica on IMDb though.

896
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:13,480
List them as Hostica.
Oh, in the movie he's crutch

897
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,160
call.
Why is there a different name on

898
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,200
IMDb?
I have no idea.

899
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:21,960
I was like why?
Who are you talking?

900
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,520
Just making up Russian names I.
Thought I was having a stroke

901
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:27,720
for a thing.
I was like, what are you should

902
00:49:27,720 --> 00:49:29,960
say?
And I'm sitting over here like,

903
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:31,800
yeah, that's probably it sounds
Russian enough.

904
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:36,640
The fact that you remembered his
name is amazing though, because

905
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:38,800
like I, I'm bad at remembering
character.

906
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,280
Well, I was finishing the movie
like we're literally right

907
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:43,680
before we start recording.
OK, got it.

908
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:48,200
But, you know, a, we all want
like a little Russian sidekick,

909
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:52,560
but like, for whatever reason,
like the gin is like, you know,

910
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,960
everyone who makes a wish, I'm
going to like fuck with them

911
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,920
right away.
But he takes this guy under his

912
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:03,200
wing and even gives him like a
kind of gives him a second wish

913
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,720
in some ways too.
He's like, you know, you're my

914
00:50:06,720 --> 00:50:08,680
little buddy, like I'm going to
look out for you.

915
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,520
Why do we think the Jinn does
that?

916
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:15,280
Like what does he see in this
guy that he's like, I could use

917
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:18,360
a pal.
So, so look here, OSAP, he's

918
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:21,080
been out in the world.
He's been, you know, apparently

919
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:24,160
he like killed some folk he's in
with, You know, he's like kind

920
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:27,680
of like a like kind of like
Lieutenant level in the mob.

921
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:30,280
Like he's not like a big guy,
but he's like, he's a little up

922
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,560
there.
But I like his, like his

923
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:36,040
frankness whenever he's like
kind of asking the jinn about

924
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:39,560
his philosophy and, and like,
and OSAP's like, look, I've seen

925
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:42,880
the fucking, you know, the
reality and humanity and like,

926
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:46,240
you know the thing, the, the
evil that people do, the greed

927
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,000
that people have.
He's like, I get it.

928
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,560
And he's like, he's like, if
there's an exchange of goods and

929
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:54,400
services, like whatever he's
like, so he's like, I don't care

930
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,680
what you want to do, man.
He's like, I'm like, he's like,

931
00:50:56,960 --> 00:51:02,640
it sounds like it is more
realistic to him in a way in

932
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:04,960
like kind of his thinking.
So like, I don't know, I, I

933
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:08,080
think the Jin's like, oh, this
guy kind of kind of gets it.

934
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:09,840
And he's like, he's like, he
kind of gets it.

935
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:14,240
He's helping me out.
Like, and he's, you know, and I

936
00:51:14,240 --> 00:51:16,920
think it all worked out for him.
So like, yeah, I think he did

937
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:20,160
like just kind of take a liking
to him just being like, you

938
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,440
know, like this guy, like he may
be a, he may be a killer, he may

939
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:25,880
be a, you know, a felon.
He may be all of these things,

940
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:29,000
but like, he's a realist and
like he's like fuck it,

941
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:30,400
whatever.
Right.

942
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:35,240
I'd like that he also has like
the which seems like a pretty

943
00:51:35,240 --> 00:51:38,800
smart idea.
Like oh if Morgana is the only

944
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:43,400
person that can like grant the
three who can make the 3 wishes

945
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,640
to.
Which is the one wish thing a

946
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:47,920
thing in the first film?
I don't remember.

947
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:52,440
Yeah so everyone can get one
wish for one soul, but to

948
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:57,520
unleash the jinn it has to be
the the person that released

949
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,640
from the Opal has to make their
3 wishes I.

950
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,560
Don't think they have like I
need 1000 souls.

951
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:05,600
That was not a part of the first
one.

952
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:07,560
Yeah, yeah, that was new.
Just wants.

953
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:11,960
To up his game, it's kind of.
I mean, hey, Vegas numbers,

954
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:14,000
whatever.
But yeah, I mean like damn,

955
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:17,560
that's a big jump from like I
just need 3 wishes from this one

956
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,960
person to like OK, 1000 wishes
before that.

957
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,520
Jinns, that's a lot of work.
This would have been the time

958
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:27,320
when like arcades are still
around.

959
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:30,880
Like do you think the Jinns have
like a soul collecting thing

960
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:34,840
like Frogger and he's looking at
the high score and he's like, I

961
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:38,520
just want to put my high score
count in and type in AS.

962
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:40,520
S He's got like the Hall of Fame
thing.

963
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:46,040
Well, actually, again, to kind
of tease these later entries, he

964
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:50,600
does start getting fed up with
the Jinn bureaucracy and is the

965
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:54,120
whole like this whole, yeah,
he's like all these

966
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,640
stipulations, he starts getting
fed up with it later.

967
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:01,040
So like so, this does develop a
little bit actually.

968
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:03,360
He's like Michael Douglas and
Falling Down.

969
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:07,480
That's amazing.
How long ago did you watch 3:00

970
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:09,040
and 4:00?
So I got to be honest, like I

971
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:12,440
just remember hating.
Them back in September October,

972
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:13,880
cuz I was doing it for
Hooptober.

973
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:16,520
Gotcha.
It was in spooky season.

974
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:18,200
So yeah still still fairly
recent.

975
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,960
He does start getting fed up
with the gin bureaucracy have

976
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:23,800
been like hey, there's all these
amendments to the prophecy.

977
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:26,480
You know that he he gets annoyed
with.

978
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:29,000
Gotcha.
This was the first step.

979
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:33,640
Khrushchev or Hasika or whatever
his name is.

980
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,040
He does have the smart idea
about Morgana.

981
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:41,800
Like well, if she's not alive to
make these wishes then you know

982
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:45,720
the prophecy won't come true.
So what if I just put two in her

983
00:53:45,720 --> 00:53:49,560
chest right now?
Which unfortunately doesn't

984
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:53,800
really help because for some
reason she's protected.

985
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:56,840
Like I don't understand how that
works either.

986
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,400
Except it's a movie.
And.

987
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:02,920
It's definitely a rule change
from the first one because I was

988
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:04,400
again, I was just watching that
this morning.

989
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:08,040
And with with the protagonist in
that one, he has the whole thing

990
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:11,680
towards the end where he's like,
I don't need to, I don't need

991
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:13,360
for you to be dead to make your
wishes.

992
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:14,520
Sir.
I don't remember how he phrases

993
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:18,280
it, but he's like but he but he
basically implies like I can

994
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:20,480
make you wish you were dead.
Yes.

995
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:23,320
By, like, inflicting pain on her
and everything, which is a

996
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,480
terrifying concept because it's
like, of course you're going to

997
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,760
wish it would end.
So yeah, you kind of wonder why

998
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:30,160
he didn't just go that route
again.

999
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:33,520
Well, and that's a Jack Shoulder
thing.

1000
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:37,400
Like not to harp on him saying
him talking about him way more

1001
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:40,480
than I thought we would, but
like in in A Nightmare on Elm

1002
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:44,640
Street 2, like he takes the
rules of the first movie and

1003
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:47,240
just throws them out the window.
He's like, no, like Freddie's

1004
00:54:47,240 --> 00:54:49,800
not going to haunt your dreams.
He's like going to do this

1005
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:52,200
better.
Yeah, he's like Wes Craven

1006
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:53,760
Schmaven.
Who cares?

1007
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:57,800
He's like, what if like instead
Freddie just manipulates.

1008
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,720
You know that cool thing that
Freddy is known for, For

1009
00:55:00,720 --> 00:55:02,960
attacking people in dreams?
What if he didn't do that?

1010
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:04,880
What if he was just a real guy
again?

1011
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:09,360
Like Jack Shoulder is totally
like the kid in kindergarten who

1012
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:12,280
drew like a shitty picture of an
apple and was like, this is a

1013
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:15,960
fucking masterpiece.
Like like no kid is ever going

1014
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:19,640
to do better than this.
Mom put every piece of artwork

1015
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:22,680
he ever, so the fridge is
covered with pictures of his

1016
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:26,600
apples and they're all brilliant
and she's never taken them down.

1017
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:28,960
Like no one's ever told Jack
Shoulder no.

1018
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:33,240
So it's just I do what I want.
Right.

1019
00:55:33,240 --> 00:55:36,640
And and I will say like, you
know, well, I may not love him

1020
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:39,400
as much as a person.
To his credit as a director

1021
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:44,040
doing sequels, I do appreciate
that he kind of throws out the

1022
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:47,280
rules a little bit and kind of
does his own thing because, you

1023
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:50,560
know, to me, I think that's what
makes sequels more interesting

1024
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,520
is kind of when they're their
own sort of film.

1025
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,560
But it just, you know, in this
case, it's like you are throwing

1026
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:58,800
out a lot that worked really
well.

1027
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:01,880
Yeah, the first time around.
So.

1028
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:06,600
Well, what also, oh, we have,
you know, before we leave the

1029
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:09,720
prison, can we just talk about
Double Dragon like so?

1030
00:56:09,720 --> 00:56:11,400
So how would I refer to the
twin?

1031
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:14,600
Like what is happening?
It was awesome.

1032
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:15,960
So.
Random, so much fun.

1033
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:20,120
Just like what if we had these,
the double mint twins and

1034
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:24,320
they're going to all of a sudden
like it's Larusso and it's like

1035
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:26,640
the Cobra Kai for like 2
minutes.

1036
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:29,880
Here, well, you can't say twin
dragon, that'd be copyright.

1037
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:33,800
So they are listed as James and
Simon Tiger, the Tiger twins

1038
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:38,360
instead.
So you can't go twin dragon.

1039
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:44,360
But yeah, it's I'm OK, I'm OK.
So random, so funny.

1040
00:56:44,720 --> 00:56:49,640
I love OK.
This is where the gin I think he

1041
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:54,720
sold himself short on this
moment where the Tiger Twins

1042
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:59,280
gang up on Butts, played by
Rhino Michaels.

1043
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:01,640
Lol what a name.
Where did they find these

1044
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:03,760
people?
This is amazing.

1045
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:09,160
But he goes, he's like I would.
He's like, I want to be fucked

1046
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:11,560
up.
He's like, I want to be tore up

1047
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:14,360
from the floor up.
It put me into the ground.

1048
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:16,360
I was like, all right, you have
all these options.

1049
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,680
What are you going to do, Jen?
Are you going to make him flat

1050
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:23,680
and, like, onto the ground?
Are you gonna, you know, RIP his

1051
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:25,680
skin from his ankles at like,
what?

1052
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:28,800
What are you gonna do?
And it's instead get beat up by

1053
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:31,280
the, the the twins?
I was like that.

1054
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:33,040
Come on, Gin, What are you doing
here?

1055
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:36,880
Yeah, it's like funny, but it's
underwhelming, right?

1056
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:39,120
Like.
Yeah, it's funny, but it's like

1057
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:43,000
you had a lot of options here
Gin on how you can twist all

1058
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,440
those things, he said.
Cuz the gin is just like smiling

1059
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,120
at all the ridiculous things
he's saying.

1060
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,160
He's like, yeah.
And I was like, all right, fuck

1061
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,160
them up, Jen.
And it doesn't quite do it.

1062
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,760
It's one of the it's one of the
like unfortunate things about

1063
00:57:56,920 --> 00:58:00,960
this sequel in the later ones is
that to me, like, you know,

1064
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:05,240
certain horror franchises just
call for a decent budget, right?

1065
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:08,960
And Witch Master is one of those
like, you know, this isn't this

1066
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,920
isn't Halloween where you can
just stab a bunch of people with

1067
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:14,880
a butcher knife and you're good.
Like you just, you want to see

1068
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:19,320
these elaborate wishes play out
and, and it's so it just, it's

1069
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:22,040
always kind of shocking to me
that like they took this and

1070
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:23,920
they're like, OK, we're going to
give you half the budget for

1071
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:26,560
this.
And then for three and four,

1072
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:28,680
we're like, OK, we're going to
give you a fourth of the budget

1073
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:32,520
of 2.
And, and plus, I was reading the

1074
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:36,200
other day that Jason Jenkins
book Phantom Limbs raised

1075
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:40,160
interviews with like unmade
scripts and everything Devoff

1076
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:42,960
and Russell Gagnon originally
wanted to do Wishmaster 3, the

1077
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:45,200
third Millennium.
And it was going to be like this

1078
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:48,760
huge film involving like a World
War and all this kind of stuff

1079
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:51,360
that required like a massive
budget.

1080
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:54,120
And of course, the studio was
just flat out like hell no.

1081
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:59,440
To be fair, to be fair, like the
first one's a minor hit.

1082
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:02,640
Like it's not like the first one
is like tearing it up and the

1083
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:07,000
second one debuts on television.
So like, it's not like the

1084
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:12,000
studio was like, let's open up
the checkbook like no questions

1085
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,000
asked.
Like this isn't Marty Scorsese

1086
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:19,400
going to Apple going like I need
240 million to make Killers of

1087
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:22,160
the Flower moon.
And Tim Cook is like, you know

1088
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,480
what, Uncle Marty, here you go,
brother.

1089
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:27,720
You do what you need to do.
You're going to get shut out by

1090
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:30,120
Oppenheimer.
An award season, but we don't

1091
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:34,600
care because it's the.
Growing and and and see, this is

1092
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:37,720
unfortunate too, that I think
this is, you know, it's

1093
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:42,720
obviously not only behind as far
as like just a little bit behind

1094
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:46,240
DVD and stuff, but a little bit
too early for like something

1095
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:49,200
like a crowdfund or something.
Because like, if you know, Div

1096
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:51,600
off and people are like, all
right, we're gonna make

1097
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:55,560
Wishmaster 3 this big epic.
Here's how you can contribute

1098
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:58,760
on, you know, crowd, you know,
on Kickstarter, you know, like

1099
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:02,160
could totally, you know, happen.
But yeah, for them to after this

1100
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:05,880
movie to be like, OK, we want to
make the biggest 1 yet.

1101
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,840
It's like.
Yeah, it was, it was never, it

1102
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:11,440
was never going to happen.
And and I totally understand why

1103
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:12,760
the budget was cutting half for
this.

1104
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:15,640
Again, though, it's just that
unfortunate thing of like what

1105
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:18,960
these movies could be if they
had a little more money, you

1106
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:21,160
know?
Especially anything that's like

1107
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:24,640
in the fantasy realm, like
anything like you, like you

1108
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:27,680
said, it's not like Halloween,
just a guy with a butcher knife

1109
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:30,840
or even a Friday the 13th or
it's like, well, he's a zombie

1110
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:33,480
killer, but it's still pretty
basic stuff.

1111
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:37,600
It's like more like an Elm
Street where it goes into the

1112
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:40,760
fantastical.
And you do like in the first

1113
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:45,040
movie with K&B, you get like all
of these wonderful effects, like

1114
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:50,120
the ray, you get the like the
tribute to all the stop motion

1115
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:53,280
horror with like the skeleton
bursting out of its skin.

1116
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:57,800
And here you get that once as
opposed to a half dozen times.

1117
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:00,920
And it's not like the effects
are poor in this movie, but

1118
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:02,240
they're.
Just well, they just don't get

1119
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:04,040
to do him.
They just don't get to do it as

1120
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:07,560
often because like in this one,
you at least I'll say they like

1121
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:09,920
saved it for like the right.
There's some of the right

1122
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:12,640
moments because like you can
see, obviously they put a good

1123
01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:17,000
chunk of money into his
reanimation like whenever the

1124
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,960
whole thing him coming out of
the wall and that public.

1125
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:23,000
Crawling towards him.
I love his face in the wall when

1126
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:28,280
he's just like, incredible.
Incredible So it's like I like

1127
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:32,280
so they, you know, put money
into that part they put a little

1128
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:35,280
bit into some like, you know
they they sprinkle them in.

1129
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:38,760
It's unfortunate though, because
like at the end when it's, you

1130
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:41,240
know, it's supposed to be like
the, you know, all hell breaks

1131
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:43,800
loose in the casino.
This is supposed to be like the

1132
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:48,280
big showcase, you know, and you
compared to like the opening of

1133
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:50,200
the first, you know, Wishmaster
movie.

1134
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:54,320
You know, there's not quite as
many like individual moments in

1135
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:57,200
that that that one just has a
lot of like random stuff

1136
01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:58,360
happening.
Don't get me wrong, there's a

1137
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:02,160
few really good stuff in that
like kind of chaos sequence, but

1138
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:05,600
again, it's not on the level of
having like these like really

1139
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:09,200
specific individual and the
chaos like.

1140
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:12,040
Popping through the wall, like
the face popping out of the wall

1141
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:15,600
is like very similar again, like
Elm Street 2, like Freddie

1142
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:20,160
popping out of Freddie, popping
out of Jesse's chest like that

1143
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:23,920
kind of splitting open like it's
him going back to what works and

1144
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:26,880
it is pretty cool.
Let's talk the casino because

1145
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:31,000
that is a really fun set piece.
Like, oh, that's a great idea.

1146
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:34,960
Like let's set this chaos here
in both films and with like a

1147
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:39,080
bit wishmaster one and two end
with these larger set pieces.

1148
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:43,720
But I feel like, you know, you
can't make it look like The MGM

1149
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:49,120
or Caesar's, but it's still like
a pretty fun little sequence

1150
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:51,400
here with like all of the
especially they're all old

1151
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:53,800
people that are just playing
craps on a Tuesday.

1152
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:58,000
Also shout out Bokeem Woodbine.
Love seeing my boy pop up in

1153
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:00,320
here.
I totally forgot about him and I

1154
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:02,160
was.
Like oh shit, my God I could

1155
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:04,920
not.
Oh, he's, you know, he's been a

1156
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:06,200
character actor in a lot of
stuff.

1157
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:09,960
I mean, he was, he plays a
fathead in Ray.

1158
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:13,600
He's really great in that.
But he's in other stuff like

1159
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:16,520
Jason's Lyric.
He was in like 1 of the Spider

1160
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:21,920
Man movies, like whatever.
But he's a he's been a steady

1161
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:25,480
working actor for a long time
and it's nice seeing him pop up

1162
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:28,360
in this.
Yeah, well, it's for the Vegas

1163
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:30,640
scene, you know, Speaking of the
grin again, I just love the

1164
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:33,520
moment.
Where the Wishmaster first gets

1165
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:36,680
there and he's kind of like
taking in the place, and then he

1166
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:39,800
sees some guy playing craps and
like, come on, you know, show me

1167
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:41,120
the money or whatever the hell,
he says.

1168
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:45,040
And he just gets like, the grin
gets even bigger where he's just

1169
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:47,480
like catching.
Catching.

1170
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:50,480
So here is my question on.
I have two questions.

1171
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:57,200
And #1 can the pit boss, like,
speak for the house?

1172
01:03:57,200 --> 01:04:00,440
Meaning he's like, yeah, the
house wants people to win.

1173
01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:03,440
And it's like, well, the house
is not like a person.

1174
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:07,120
The house is like the building.
It's the casino itself.

1175
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:11,720
So does the pit master have the
authority to speak for the whole

1176
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:15,000
house?
And then two, the House is

1177
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:19,120
making if, let's say we take
that to the Supreme Court, we

1178
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:22,960
exhaust our appeals and the
Supreme Court rules that, yes,

1179
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:25,720
the pitmaster can speak for the
House.

1180
01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:28,880
The House is like it's, you
know, the precursor to Citizens

1181
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:31,280
United, Like.
Mike, are you really questioning

1182
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:35,640
the legality of a casino that is
obviously dirty just?

1183
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:38,520
Let me draw back on my gangster
years and I'll.

1184
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:42,520
I am almost there.
It's a precursor to Citizens

1185
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:46,840
United, where Mitt Romney
famously once said corporations

1186
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:49,280
are people too.
So you're saying the House is a

1187
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:51,240
person too?
The House makes a wish that we

1188
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:53,640
want people to win.
So that's it.

1189
01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:57,080
Comes down 63 ruling on the side
of the conservatives, OK.

1190
01:04:57,560 --> 01:05:03,080
However the people that are
playing did not out loud speak

1191
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:05,240
their wish.
They might have internalized

1192
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:08,400
that wish, but they have not
spoken aloud.

1193
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:11,480
I want to win.
So does he have?

1194
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:17,480
I would argue that the Jin does
not have the authority to take

1195
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:19,720
their souls.
I, I, I get where you're going

1196
01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:22,680
with this, but again, this is
just kind of like throw the

1197
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:25,120
fucking rules out the window
sequence.

1198
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:27,200
You know, it's back.
It's back to the guard who says

1199
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:29,000
freeze again, right Where it's
just like.

1200
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:33,040
I'm a little concerned that you
don't want to consider the legal

1201
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:35,360
implications.
So I'm thinking because what I'm

1202
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:38,400
thinking is statistically,
statistically speaking, what are

1203
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:40,880
some of the phrases you say when
you're gambling?

1204
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:45,800
You say like you are pleading
for luck, you are wishing for

1205
01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:48,160
money and luck.
So, so the on.

1206
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:51,520
So even if they didn't
explicitly agree it to it, the

1207
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:56,960
Jin's face, I think if he makes
this set this presence for this,

1208
01:05:56,960 --> 01:06:01,920
yeah, mass wish, people are
gonna inadvertently be like,

1209
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:05,400
yeah, show me the money.
That's a wish like, you know.

1210
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:07,560
He's like a wish.
I get the sense.

1211
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:10,800
Territory here though, I feel
like these are now thought

1212
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:15,040
crimes and you're now losing
your soul over just, I don't

1213
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:18,120
know, I'm not sure.
Well, I get, you know, I mean

1214
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:20,800
the wishmaster is certainly
like, he's certainly like a

1215
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:23,280
narcissist, right?
So you got to feel like every

1216
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:27,480
person around him being like,
Oh, I, you know, I, I want this

1217
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:28,800
or that.
Like he's just like, oh, they're

1218
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:30,760
talking to me.
Like, of course they're wishing

1219
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:36,120
me.
So I don't know if that answers

1220
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:39,040
the legality of of said case,
but.

1221
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:43,600
Again, if if he if the gym is
going to go anywhere to bend the

1222
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:46,560
rules, you know, I do like the
choice of this being a thing.

1223
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:48,600
Again, this could also be its
own movie.

1224
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:53,360
Like if he really got in with
like the crooked casino business

1225
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:55,680
and stuff, that could be a whole
Wishmaster movie.

1226
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:58,800
When they show him sitting up in
the office in the chair with

1227
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:00,960
like the big horns and
everything, it's all red lit.

1228
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:03,000
I'm like, this is totally its
own film.

1229
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:04,880
Like this could be its own
thing.

1230
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:07,320
This could be its own television
show.

1231
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:11,760
You have like evil Genie that is
like granting wishes at a

1232
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:14,400
casino.
Like I don't know if either of

1233
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:18,640
you ever watched like the Friday
the 13th TV series, which I

1234
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:21,840
loved growing up and it had
nothing to do with the movies.

1235
01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:26,840
It was like the haunted like
antique store where they all the

1236
01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:29,800
objects were cursed.
Like you could totally do

1237
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:33,560
something like that on the
Sci-fi Channel or USA.

1238
01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:37,240
I would love A wish Master
series yeah Wish of the week

1239
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:41,400
casino and.
Then after the casino exhaust

1240
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:44,440
itself, then maybe like, I don't
know, he becomes like a

1241
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:47,440
traveling preacher for a season
and he's like doing.

1242
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:50,720
I mean, he can, he can totally
be like a priest in a church

1243
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:53,200
and.
Traveling Preacher Gin would go

1244
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:54,960
so hard.
Oh man.

1245
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:58,680
Totally make this work.
You know we could talk miracles,

1246
01:07:58,840 --> 01:07:59,640
wishes, right?
Oh.

1247
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:03,480
Man, you're cooking my.
Hated my ideas so much now Devon

1248
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:05,640
is all I'm saying is like oh.
You're cooking.

1249
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:06,960
I'm.
That's in money.

1250
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:08,680
I'm.
In right here this is the.

1251
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:10,440
Money.
You're making all these great

1252
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:13,600
ideas and they're just going to
be so disappointed with 3:00 and

1253
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:18,240
4:00.
Go Speaking of money shots, we

1254
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:21,080
have to talk about the most
insane scene of this movie.

1255
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:23,560
I'm surprised we made it.
I'm surprised we made it this

1256
01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:28,040
far without talking about.
I wish my lawyer would go fuck

1257
01:08:28,040 --> 01:08:30,319
himself well.
Thank God, how did I forget?

1258
01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:34,240
You know, take.
It I would.

1259
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:37,920
I mean, I remember watching it
for the first time again, if you

1260
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:43,279
go to my original watch thread,
I was screaming during a scene

1261
01:08:43,279 --> 01:08:45,680
because this is just absolutely
insane.

1262
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:48,600
Again, this is like a classic of
like when you're writing a

1263
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:51,680
script and you're going, OK, I
got the gin.

1264
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:54,399
He grants wishes.
He twists people's words.

1265
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:58,319
What are some things I can twist
to, you know, make for an

1266
01:08:58,319 --> 01:09:00,840
interesting And he goes with
this.

1267
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:07,359
It's just so crazy the whole
like the the the actor, I don't

1268
01:09:07,359 --> 01:09:11,439
know who the lawyer is, but he
is selling the shit out of this.

1269
01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:14,399
Like bless him for selling this
scene.

1270
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:18,040
Like imagine going on set and
they go, all right, so this is

1271
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:20,160
what this is what we're doing
today.

1272
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:23,279
Let's go ahead and get a body
cast of your legs real quick,

1273
01:09:23,279 --> 01:09:25,760
because you're going to fuck
yourself in the ass to death.

1274
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:27,040
What is?
What do we think?

1275
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:30,560
Insane.
What do we think he's feeling at

1276
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:34,359
first when like before he yeah,
he's like, he's the fucking

1277
01:09:34,359 --> 01:09:35,160
himself.
So.

1278
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:38,880
It's him getting like a
murderous boner is what's

1279
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:41,840
happening and it and is like I,
I imagine his like.

1280
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:45,080
And it's like really like his
Dick is like stretching.

1281
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:47,439
And yeah, stretching backwards,
OK.

1282
01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:52,760
And then you see his legs go
back and his feet turn the other

1283
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:53,040
way.
See.

1284
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:56,680
But I I have a very important
question is did he fuck himself

1285
01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:57,560
to death?
Yeah.

1286
01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:00,320
'Cause we we never, but we never
really get an answer.

1287
01:10:00,440 --> 01:10:03,920
Did he die?
I, I he's gonna wish that he

1288
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:06,440
well, he's gonna die in the soul
collection.

1289
01:10:06,440 --> 01:10:07,560
Maybe I don't.
Know what?

1290
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:10,440
Does he just revert dead?
Does he just revert back to how

1291
01:10:10,440 --> 01:10:13,320
he was and was like well.
No, you, you never go back to

1292
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:14,880
that.
Yeah, you never go back after

1293
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:18,320
that.
Like you're he is a new person

1294
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:20,680
after that.
I mean, if you could just go

1295
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:24,120
back to your original form, I
would never leave the house.

1296
01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:28,960
Like, like this is the dream
right here.

1297
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:33,360
So.
It's insanity.

1298
01:10:33,440 --> 01:10:36,680
Like whoever came up with this
scene is insanity.

1299
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:38,680
Great.
I also love what's his face the

1300
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:42,560
prisoner who's just like what
about my case like a man is.

1301
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:44,840
Fucking himself.
And then there's the other and

1302
01:10:44,840 --> 01:10:48,160
then there's the other officer
that is just watching stone face

1303
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:51,400
and not doing anything, like not
saying anything.

1304
01:10:51,440 --> 01:10:53,480
Everyone's reactions are, it's
just.

1305
01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:57,200
It's just a normal day for him,
you know, See it all the time.

1306
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:01,840
I don't, I don't think we're
gonna top that.

1307
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:05,520
I really.
So any final thoughts?

1308
01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:08,480
I think we're good on Witch
Master 2.

1309
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:12,640
Nah, I mean, this was again,
this is silly.

1310
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:15,760
This is silly Goose time for
sure.

1311
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:19,320
Many, many just very funny
things about this movie.

1312
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:23,840
And yeah, it's a it's a, you
know, it's it's the classic case

1313
01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:27,640
of a sequel where they want to
go a little crazier, don't quite

1314
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:29,680
have the means to do it.
So then they're like, well,

1315
01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:34,120
let's just be weirder then is
kind of what this one does.

1316
01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:38,920
So it's a little shabbier.
And the third act is Oh my God.

1317
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:41,840
So I rolly like the whole
crucifixion stuff.

1318
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:46,880
So now you're pure because you
save the OR whatever.

1319
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:50,760
Like the the third, the finale
sucks, unfortunately so, but

1320
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:53,440
like at the end of the day.
At the end of the day, though,

1321
01:11:53,440 --> 01:11:57,080
this is still like just like
stupid entertainment, like this

1322
01:11:57,160 --> 01:12:00,520
is a fun stupid time and and I
appreciate it.

1323
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:04,440
I mean, yeah, I'm not mad at it.
I can't help but enjoy it.

1324
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:08,600
Yeah, it's, you know, it's a
film that, for better and worse,

1325
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:11,040
knows what it is, right.
Like, I mean, you have the whole

1326
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:13,840
moment where the Wishmaster says
evil never dies.

1327
01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:17,280
The the tagline of the film,
like, you know, it's like it, it

1328
01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:19,960
knows what it is.
Jack Shoulder approaches it with

1329
01:12:20,320 --> 01:12:24,280
a just like give no shits.
I'm just going to have a fun

1330
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:28,320
time kind of attitude, which I
think is the right approach for

1331
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:30,440
a sequel like this.
That's half the budget where

1332
01:12:30,440 --> 01:12:32,880
you're just the sillier that
you.

1333
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:34,760
And it's a silly concept in and
of itself.

1334
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:38,520
And I think just the more you
play it up, the better for it it

1335
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:41,320
is.
But yeah, just, you know, just

1336
01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:46,440
unfortunate that it didn't quite
have the money to maybe amp up

1337
01:12:46,440 --> 01:12:50,680
that finale a little bit.
Go ahead.

1338
01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:53,160
Yeah, yeah.
It makes the most of what it has

1339
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:56,360
and like I said, like at the
outset, like Holly Fields is

1340
01:12:56,360 --> 01:13:03,920
Morgana like until they make her
the church girl like just really

1341
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:07,160
fun final girl performance for
the 1st 2/3 of it.

1342
01:13:07,480 --> 01:13:11,440
Not what you typically see in a
final girl in terms of that that

1343
01:13:11,440 --> 01:13:15,760
really like kind of like goth
punk look, you know, which I

1344
01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:17,880
don't know.
I thought you look great to hear

1345
01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:23,040
the the deep red makeup, like
the all the shit kicker combat

1346
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:26,000
boots with all black.
Like I'm into it.

1347
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:30,400
Like give me a road movie with
her and like Sally from wrong

1348
01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:34,720
turn 6 and the, you know, just
I'm all over it like I would.

1349
01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:36,040
Yeah.
I think, I think that's what's

1350
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:37,440
disappointing about her arc,
right?

1351
01:13:37,440 --> 01:13:41,080
Is that like she is so kind of
unique for a final girl in a

1352
01:13:41,080 --> 01:13:43,680
film like this.
Up until the 3rd actor, it's

1353
01:13:43,680 --> 01:13:45,720
like, ah damn it.
Like we were so close.

1354
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:49,800
And it's a fun throwback monster
movie.

1355
01:13:50,160 --> 01:13:53,240
So, well, that's it on Wish
Master too.

1356
01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:56,520
So why don't we take a couple
minutes to plug where you can

1357
01:13:56,520 --> 01:14:00,760
find all of us and we're out,
Matt, where can folks find you?

1358
01:14:01,160 --> 01:14:04,840
And like, what sites and other
artistic stuff do you want to

1359
01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:09,120
tell everyone about?
Yes, you can find me on Blue Sky

1360
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:12,720
at where Matt?
Not on Twitter and anymore

1361
01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:15,840
because fuck them.
And let's see.

1362
01:14:15,840 --> 01:14:18,520
You can find a lot of my reviews
that I do on

1363
01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:21,680
killerheartbreak.com.
I also occasionally write for

1364
01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:25,160
Dread Central.
I have a or a column at Manor

1365
01:14:25,160 --> 01:14:29,200
Vellum and I do occasionally
work with Aero Video and

1366
01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:34,160
Umbrella Entertainment.
I just had a couple sets of Thai

1367
01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:37,600
Horror Collection and a new
release of Shutter that Umbrella

1368
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:40,720
just put out that I worked on.
So you know, I'll plug those.

1369
01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:42,320
Go check that those out if you
can.

1370
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:45,880
And that's it.
Very cool, would love to have

1371
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:48,800

Take a look at the list and see

1372
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:50,520
what looks good.
Yeah, I know.

1373
01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:52,400
It's been a blast.
Thanks for having me, guys.

1374
01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:53,200
Oh.
Free.

1375
01:14:53,320 --> 01:14:56,160
Will see if we have any classier
films though next time.

1376
01:14:58,720 --> 01:15:01,240
Devonne, how about yourself?
What's coming up with both your

Spectra Cinema Club, we are

1380
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:14,400
celebrating my birth month.
I mean, we're doing that here

1381
01:15:14,400 --> 01:15:15,960
too 'cause this was also my
choice.

1382
01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:21,000
But we are doing films focusing
on their scores, soundtracks and

1383
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:23,520
sound designs.
We just did a really great

1384
01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:28,080
recording with Mr. Brian Kuiper
talking the changeling and so we

1385
01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:30,120
have a really great conversation
on that coming up.

1386
01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:37,040
And then over on Tainted Love,
we just dropped an episode on on

1387
01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:41,320
Bones and all, and coming up we
have a very extra horny episode

1388
01:15:41,320 --> 01:15:43,800
on Crash.
So that's gonna be a really fun

1389
01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:47,560

have tiers starting as low as 2
bucks and we have so much great

1422
01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:48,920
stuff on there.
Brian is recording I think early

1423
01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:52,960

including Shadow of the Vampire
are up now on our patron page.

1426
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:08,680
Ari has her whole series on I
Spit on Your Grave, where she

1427
01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:13,280
covered each of those films and
did a whole episode just as an

1428
01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:15,560
overview in the rape revenge
subgenera.

1429
01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:18,200
This summer.
It's going to we're going back

1430
01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:21,800
to the future for the 40th
anniversary of one of the

1431
01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:25,800
greatest sci-fi fantasy series
of all time to celebrate its

1432
01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:29,280
40th anniversary.
We'll be doing our like typical

1433
01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:32,760
deep dive that we do with like
the foundational horror movies,

1434
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:35,680
but doing it in something we
normally wouldn't cover here.

1435
01:18:35,960 --> 01:18:40,760
And we have so many like over
almost like 75 to 80 hours of

1436
01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:44,400
content that's already up there,
a lot of one off episodes.

1437
01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:49,640
So again, patreon.com pod of the
pendulum as a way to support the

1438
01:18:49,640 --> 01:18:51,960
show.
Here's what we have coming up

1439
01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:53,920
here.
Next two weeks.

1440
01:18:53,920 --> 01:18:56,800
We've got two more Wishmaster
films to get through Wishmaster

1441
01:18:56,800 --> 01:19:00,000
3 and 4.
After that, we're taking a

1442
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:04,680
little detour because Final
Destinations Bloodlines is out

1443
01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:06,640
now in theaters and it looks
like it's going to be the

1444
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:10,520
biggest opening of any of the
Final Destination movies.

1445
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:13,440
It is a blast.
It is one of the most fun

1446
01:19:13,440 --> 01:19:16,960
experiences I've had in a long
time in a theater.

1447
01:19:17,480 --> 01:19:22,400
It is pure comedy gold.
And since we've already covered

1448
01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:26,680
the rest of the series, we'll be
doing 1 episode on Bloodlines.

1449
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:29,720
We're going to follow that up
with a rankings episode.

1450
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:33,240
We'll probably do each of the
movies, probably do each of the

1451
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:37,280
opening, like ranking the
opening set piece kill sequences

1452
01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:38,880
as well.
Like we'll probably go through

1453
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:41,880
that.
And then it is the summer of

1454
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:44,200
George.
We'll be doing all of the George

1455
01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:47,480
Romero Dead films, all six of
those.

1456
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:52,880
And for good measure, we'll also
be covering Zack Snyder's 2004

1457
01:19:52,880 --> 01:19:59,280
Dawn of the Dead reboots and the
1990 Tom Savini reimagining of

1458
01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:02,320
Night of the Living Dead.
So we're really excited for

1459
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:04,080
that.
It's that should be kicking in

1460
01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:07,880
around July on the main feed.
So that's why we're calling it

1461
01:20:07,880 --> 01:20:10,600
the Summer of George.
And that is it, folks.

1462
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:12,760
We hope you've enjoyed this
episode.

1463
01:20:13,040 --> 01:20:16,640
It has been a lot of fun.
Like it is light and breezy and

1464
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:19,640
like what you know?
We hope you've enjoyed it, we

1465
01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:23,920
enjoy putting it together.
Have a great week everybody.
