No, no, let's go with grief. The alpacas symbolize grief. I'm Jordan Morris. And I'm Emily Fleming.

Today's movie is Color Out of Space, the Cosmic Horror Movie, about an alien force that wreaks havoc on a family using the color scheme of a really cute brunch place. With us as always is the super producer, The He Freak. Matt Leeb hitting us with those cosmically horrific drops. Baby, baby, baby, baby, I'm sorry. I'm obsessed with this drop. I'm obsessed with it. Matt, do you like Repo the Genetic Opera now? I think I might accidentally have.

have opera-pilled myself. Wow. So I'm going to watch it again and let you know. Are you going to come in next week with like long black stringy hair and black eye makeup? If you're lucky. And a little glass vial? A little glass vial.

A little glass vial. Oh no. Do we like the movie now? Maybe this is how they get you. Wow. Last week's episode was a roller coaster. Yes. Repo the Genetic Opera.

We watched it. But we're going to talk about a different movie this week. which is streaming free with ads. Thank God, ish. But before we talk about this movie, we're going to answer a question from a listener in a segment we call We Got Mail. You've Got Mail.

Nice. This is from Neppy Nut on Instagram. They commented on our social media. Neppy Nut, they ask, in all of the movies you've watched, who is the hunkiest hunk whoever hunked? The mega ultimate infinity hunk. Um, this is an interesting question.

Obviously, we have the hunk watch at the end of the, uh, show where we name a hunk of the film. Uh, have we thought about who the alpha hunk is? Who is the hunkiest guy in all of free with adstom? I mean, Timothy Oliphant has got to be up there. Oh, yeah, with, uh, with go. Yeah, which I can't remember if he's in any other movie. He also popped up in the first wives club. That's right.

That's right. That's right. That's right. like a sleazy screenwriter. That's right. This is before he only played cowboys. Yes, yes, yes. Back when he had range.

I'm just kidding. He only played scumbags. And now he's in his robot era, I guess. He's great in that robot. He was alien earth. He's so good. He was also in, wasn't it in the Mandalorian too? He might have been.

Oh, he's a cowboy. He's like the sheriff in town. It's the most on the nose casting. Way to go. He's also in Lord of the Rings. Two Towers. Really? Really, Matt.

Do you want to tell us who he plays in Lord of the R's Two Towers and repeat the joke that we all love from that? No. I loved it. I love the joke. Somebody did comment that they love that joke. That's right. A few. I forgot what the joke even was.

I love it. And I still don't know what it is. Doesn't matter. I think it's for the best. It's for the best. We've had a couple of recurring hunks, you know, that we've kind of put into a hunk hall of fame. Patrick Swayze, of course. Hard to find.

I mean, the word, it's like the man who the word hunk was created for almost. Wait, which Swayzy movies have we done? Point Break. Have we done others? Maybe we've just talked about him. Well, we want to do Roadhouse. We'd love to do Roadhouse. I'm sure we'll get to some more Swazzy.

We haven't done dirty dancing. I feel like we have mentioned it a lot and then never done it. Oh, that'd be fun. We should do dirty dancing. Yeah. Or Donnie Darko. That's also Patrick Swede. Man, you just like those double D.

Double D December. Double D December. We could do like any movies with two D's. Oh, we're going to have to wait so long. It's either movies with two D's in the titles or featuring an actor with huge tits. Yes. I love it. It's only Donnie Darko and Dolly Parton movie. Yes, dude.

Not a bad. Not a bad. Actually, I don't know. Matt, you grew up in Southern California. Our scuzzy drive time radio guys, Kevin and Bean, Kevin and Bean did double December where they would like have on women that you couldn't see because it was the radio. Yeah, but they would describe them. Yeah. Did they have really breathy voices always? The women or the Kevin and Bean?

No, the women with the big boobs. Sometimes. And they would like appear at like when Kevin and Bean were like, all right, we're at O'Reilly's Irish pub. Like Miss Double December would be there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go get her autograph. That was back in the days when radio could make you horny. Yeah. Just like hearing a woman someone said was hot. Times have changed so much. I went to a burlesque show. I was like, guys, I've seen videos that would make your head explode. It just doesn't do it for me anymore. Someone kind of giving you a peek at their butt. Right, exactly.

It's like tassels. Tassels, what are we doing here? Her husband's got to be jerking off in the corner. I've seen the Mr. Hands video. Oh, have you guys seen the new IKEA? I won't tell you and don't think about it. You don't want to know. Mr. Hanz.

Is that a two girls one cup thing where it's like, Don't Google this. Yeah, pretty much. But I think it's more about lore. I'm not even going to explain it just so that everyone who listens to this podcast is exposed to the lore behind Mr. Hans. Oh, they're definitely going to go look it up now.

Oh, I'm sorry. But you were talking about like somebody watching, which makes me think about cuck chairs. Yes. Have you guys seen the new IKEA advertisements? No. Are they leaning into it? Yes. So there's...

Can someone explain cuck chair to me? Because I've heard this before. Well, because in hotels, there's always things. this one chair in the room that's facing the bed. That's true. And everyone's like, what the fuck is that for? And then everybody started calling it a cuck chair. So that, you know, you go to the hotel.

It's for watching your wife get back. It's for watching somebody get laid. I thought it was for reading a nice book. You can do that too while your wife's getting it. That's true. Yeah, I guess the bed isn't good enough for reading a book. If my wife doing it really boringly, yeah. I'd be like, guys, I'm reading a book.

You can't keep fucking, but I got a finish dream catcher by Stephen King. Yeah, you got to. look up the new IKEA advertisement because it's like the camera scrolls through like different rooms like it pans like through a bunch of rooms but the first one is a couple making out looking

kind of uneasy and then you pan out to see there's a man watching them and it shows the price of the chair that he's in. I feel like it's a genius the next move is to like for whoever sells home appliances to lean into the I got caught in

the washing machine porn Like best buy, someone's like, I'm stuck. Help me out of your stepson. You got a Home Depot and it's like, these are the best windowsills. Want to see why? Other noteworthy hunks for me just to talk about some of our female hunks. Yeah. Robin Riker, the herpetologist from Alligator.

Absolutely. All day. And maybe you know the name of the actor or the character. I forget her, both of the names, but the woman who played like the jungle priestess in Power Rangers. Oh, yeah. Yeah, she didn't do very much, but I... She did plenty.

She didn't have to do it. She didn't have to do it. She didn't have. If you're listening, you did fine. Yeah. She did, well, she did amazing in that movie, but I mean, outside of that movie, I don't think she did too much other stuff. She's like, I'm retiring from acting after one perfect role.

Yeah. The Jungle Woman. We did a black and white film. I forget what it was. Did we do a... Vertigo? No. it was, it could have been vertigo.

I think it was one of those. Ferdegos in color. What's, oh shit, beautiful technical. Vincent Price movies. Didn't we do a Vince Price movie? Yeah. And it was either that one or maybe it was Vertigo or that's in color.

But it was a black and white movie and I remember there was a party scene and there was some random woman in it and she was the most prettiest woman I ever seen in my life. Okay. No, it was, that was Sunset Boulevard. That was Sunset Boulevard.

Oh, you're right. There is just like a party guest with five lines. Yes, who is the most dropped-down. I can't believe you just remembered this random woman. I just remember the most beautiful

woman I ever seen in my life. Other than my wife. Well, I love my wife. dress her up like that lady and sit in a chair and watch her fun. I would absolutely cut chair myself. They've got great deals at IKEA here. I wouldn't even read a book

while it happened. Well, hey, thank you for writing in. If you'd like us to answer a question on the show, hit us up on our social media, free with ads, pod on Instagram or give us an email free with ads at maximum fun.org. Okay, we're going to talk about color out of space, but before we do, we should let you know that this movie features self-harm.

So if that's not something you want to hear us talk about, we're going to play some music and give you a chance to find another episode. Hey, we're back. It's free with ads. We're going to talk about color out of space. I thought maybe y'all had seen this before, but when we came in, y'all was. we're talking like you hadn't seen it. Was I wrong?

Had you never seen this movie? Never seen it. Had no idea what it was. And this is not, I'm not doing the like, you guys have never seen it. No, no. Of course you're not, because no one has seen this. Sure. Like, as far as I know, I consider myself pretty up to date when it comes to like

movies that are cult classics. Is this, I don't think this is a cult classic, is it? No, but it definitely got a lot of buzz. It did. So this is, this is my historical. context for this film. Nicholas Cage, we love him. We talk about him.

We love him. Oh, he might be a super hunk. Yeah, I think Nicholas Cage is maybe maybe in the rafters hunk. S-tier hunk. S-tier hunk. You know, he started out kind of a hot young actor,

became an Oscar winner, than an action star, and then he just started doing whatever. Yeah. He would do 10 movies a year. They would only appear in red boxes. They were these kind of boring thrillers, and it's like,

what the fuck is wrong with Nicholas Cage? Yeah. And then around the time this movie came out, you started hearing people say like, hey, there's a Nicholas Cage movie, he's good in it, and the movie is good. It's like these low-budget filmmakers figured out what to do with this guy.

They've created movies around him that are as crazy as he acts. And I think it was this movie, it was Mandy, and it was Pig. Yeah. Which I think we like those other two movies. I love Mandy, love Pig. Yeah.

both two great movies, two great Cage performances. And it kind of felt like they were talking about this one too. Yeah. As far as like Cage is back. The movies are interesting again. And he's, you know, he's kind of not getting back to where he once was, but he's kind of found a way to channel his weirdo energy. Yeah.

He also did that weird movie called like the incredible weight of massive talent. Mass of talent. And that was free with ads on YouTube not too long ago. I like that movie a lot. It's so good. It's really good. It's really funny. Pescal is hilarious.

He is. They have great chemistry. But that guy in another movie, huh? That guy does not work enough. He's just sitting in home waiting for the phone to ring. You know, I have a friend who's friends with him. Oh, yeah? And I went to her birthday party this weekend.

Ooh. And everyone was a buzzer. Like, is Pedro Pascal going to be there? And he did not show up. I actually stood right next to him during the second No Kings protest. What? Hey. He's a little guy.

Well, he's a beautiful man. And good politics, unless he was just trying to learn. No, no. Great politics. He was there being a good dude. Yeah, no, he was there trying to support ice. Yeah. Give these guys a chance.

Come on, guys. But yeah, so he didn't show up. And I was like, you know what? Maybe he does work too much. Yeah. Yeah, he can't come to a birthday party. Yeah, he's too busy. But apparently he flew out a bunch of her friends from New York.

And I'm like, he really is the coolest guy in the world. That's cool. So I had seen this movie. I'm a real like cage freak. So obviously this is on my radar. I got to watch it. So this was my second viewing. And I guess let's talk about it.

So we open on some shots of nature. It looks eerie. It looks almost alien. Is this earth or a different planet? We don't know. And someone is saying a weird poem or something. Is it from the source material? The HP Lovecraft novel?

Maybe. I don't know. Who knows? I guess. Who cares? Who care? No way to find out. Watching the wrong movie because it opened and I was like,

why is this medieval like sorceress here with this white pony? Right. Hanging out. It was very labyrinth. It was very labyrinth. That's what I thought too. And then I was like, am I watching the right? Did Tooby like screw me?

To be fucking with me. Yeah, exactly. And then I was like, no. Thumbails are wrong, Tooby. Yeah. No, but it was this. It was the right one. Yeah.

So this poem leads into some, um, some shots. of a witch lady on a white horse, looking like she's from a different movie. Yep. She's doing witch stuff, and her name is Levina.

We learned through her chanting that her mother has cancer, and then a hunky college guy comes up. He's the one who was saying the poem, I think, or whatever. It doesn't really matter, I guess. We'll find out. There's a narrator in the story,

like in the book, I guess. Yeah, so I think the idea, and I was telling Emily, I tried to, this is a very nebulous, hard to figure out movie, especially in the end. I tried to find a good YouTube explainer. Everyone's voice was too annoying and couldn't do it. So if you have a beautiful

voice, please do a recap of this movie. Morgan Freeman, if you're listening. Recap color out of space. The mother was attached to her son. It comes from a tradition of cosmic horror. Oh, interesting.

Mommy's hungry. These are all great impressions of them. Thank you. Yeah, we all do a pretty good Morgan Freeman. This guy, his name is Ward. He's doing a water survey. Turns out he's a water scientist. Whoa.

I think he's also the tallest person in the movie. Tallest guy. That's my favorite character in Captain Planet. Wait, who is? The water scientist. Yes. Oh, yeah. Of Earthwind water.

I will say he has a little bit of a planetier vibe to him. Yeah. Oh, yeah. 100%. 100%. So he's looking for, I don't know, a well or something or a dam. He's testing the groundwater. There you go.

She's kind of, you know, standoffish to him, but kind of thinks he's cute at the end and gives him some good advice and a little compass. She goes home. That's what it was. Okay, we'll get to that later. Yeah. So she lives in a big pink house with her family. Her dad is Nicholas Cage. They do farming on the farm.

They farm on the farm. And they also got a barn with a bunch of alpacas. Will they turn into a mutant later? Yes, they will. Spoiler alert. He keeps saying that this was his father's farm or something. Yeah, yeah. He's, I always said that I would never do this and now I'm back.

Yeah. So his, Nicholas Cage's story is he wanted to be a painter. We kind of get allusions to his dad being kind of abusive. Yeah. And dad is, I think, dead. And so he's kind of moved back to this farm with his family. Like, you know, he never, I think it's, they're kind of like a city family who has retreated back to the, their rural roots. Yeah.

And I think he kind of considers himself a failure or whatever. I wonder if he could pick between the two. It's like go back to abusive daddy times or mutant alpacas. You know, it's a toss up. They also have a creepy well on the property that'll, that'll come into play later. They're sitting around the dinner table, having some weird conversations. The dialogue's not very good. No.

The daughter, so she's like a Wiccan type, but she's complaining because she wants fast food. This struck me as weird. I'm like, isn't this character a vegan? Yeah. Like, yeah, that is weird. And I'm like, why is she like, we got to get fast food. But I'm like, you know what? Every time you go to Taco Bell, there's five goth kids.

Oh, yeah. So I'm like, you know what? Maybe this tracks a little hard. Do you remember that I'm at Burger King with my Burger Queen? Can I get a large fry? She's vegan, please, so don't add no cheese with money mustard on the side. You don't know that one? It's like a TikTok.

It's a vine. It's a vine. It's two Goths in the parking lot of a Burger King. So, you know, maybe Goths do love fast food. Well, she's into blood ritual stuff. Right. So you can't be vegan if you're into blood. Well, I mean, like meat.

and it feels like she's into this blood, like, magic type thing. So I feel like meat is kind of part of that. Yeah, maybe that is part of it. She's hungry for... You know what's crazy about this movie? Sacrificing animals. What's crazy about this movie is none of this detail enters into it. No.

None of it matters. The cancer, I've never seen a cancer storyline go nowhere. I guess I didn't realize she had cancer. She mentions it when she's doing a seance or whatever at the beginning. And I was like, okay, well, you know, it's a one way to do exposition where she just says, please, you know, Gaia, make sure my mother doesn't have cancer anymore. Yeah, there's two things that don't really go anywhere in this. Two?

Well, yes, but it's like two things that didn't need to be in there because other shit would have made it make sense. The water thing is like, why do we need to do this when it's a color from out of space that comes down and does all this? Why do we need to be? Or the cancer thing where it's like. Or the Wiccan stuff. She, like, I, I keep waiting for the Wiccan stuff to enter into it. Yeah, I know.

Yeah, there's like a weird plot that doesn't go anywhere where, like, the mayor of the town is trying to buy their house to build something. But, yeah, that just kind of gets thrown out the window. There's a lot of heavy-handed exposition that happens in the beginning that does not matter. Yeah. So, Nicol, so this is maybe the closest. And Chong from Cheech and Chong is it? And then, Chong also will make an appearance later. Sure does.

Yeah. So we get a little scene with Nicholas Cage and his wife, Teresa, who's a business person with a business job. She sits on her business computer and does business work. So true. Fax and figures, stocks and bonds. She's trading. She's importing. She's exporting.

You got to import. You got to export. Futures markets. Past markets. On business computer. You might recognize her from Niptuk or as Anita darling in the live action 101 Dalmatians. Oh, shit. No fun.

Yes, I think she's great in this movie. Oh, yeah. She is. I was impressed with her acting, which is crazy. You know, the acting wasn't the problem with this movie. No, it really wasn't. The point where I was like, wow, she's a good actress was when she gets cut off. Her phone line gets cut off and she's very frustrated.

I was like, that was really good. Yeah. It seems frustrated. Yeah, it really worked. I was like, hell, yeah. She's good. So we get a little scene that mentions the cancer. They, you know, she, I think, I think she had.

cancer and is self-conscious and she and Nicholas Cage have not been sleeping together. Right. And he's like, I'm a leg man. And she's like, well, would you like me if my legs got cut off? And she's like, yeah, I'd put you in, I'd take you on a plane and put you in an overhead compartment. And I'm like, this is totally how Nicholas Cage does dirty talk. He is probably just riffing this.

Yes. And he calls her his golden lady. And you know what? I this the scene is weird I think they have fucking great chemistry yes it does seem like they're a married couple who is is like still horny for each other and they seem age appropriate they are age appropriate which is nice and like both attractive and like in in these movies when it's like nicholas cage has to like have a love interest it's like he's so crazy how do you relate to this guy and I think she does a great job of like seeming like she's really into him uh anyway that's a part

of the movie that I think works great is that their relationship. I mean, it all goes crazy later, but whatever. So the college guy, he, he, he, he comes back. There was a weird pink light in the sky. What was it? We'll figure it out. They milk the alpacas or we won't. So they have a, so they're going around figuring out what this light in the sky was.

And they go out to the back where he's like, Nicholas Cage is like, oh, we have a squatter and it's Chong from Cheech and Chong. who's like a weird hippie conspiracy guy. He has a cat named G-Spot. It's a bad name because I can find the cat. Oh! So it turns out, he's a conspiracy guy. A pussy with a name is like what someone got a pussy called G-Spot.

Right. Yeah, yeah. So, you know, they were patting themselves on the back when they wrote that. They sure were. They wrote one good thing. Good. I don't know. He's like a paranoia guy.

There's a. It turns out a meteor landed on their property, a pink meteor from unknown origins. And when they come out the next day, it's disappeared. And then things start to go a little crazy. A little crazy. A little crazy. The first crazy thing that happens, which is pretty shocking, Teresa, she's cutting carrots, just cutting up carrots. Like a mom does.

Moms are always cutting carrots and doing business on business computers. And she chops off her fingers and doesn't really react to it. It's pretty horrific. Yeah. And so, like, Nicholas Cage has to drive her out to a hospital that's like an hour away. And leave all, like, three of the kids by themselves. So, yeah, so the kids are all by themselves. There's a nerd little boy called Jack Jack.

We haven't mentioned. He's a big fucking nerd. Yeah, he sucks. And he's like eight. He's creepy. He's talking about how his friends are in the well talking to it. Yeah, you can hear, they all hear this whistle that's coming out of the well. Yeah.

It's spooky. There's also a cute little bug that comes out of the well that I was really into. It was like a purple pink prang mantis with like tons of legs and eyes. And I was like, I love that thing. Yeah, no, it was cool looking. That was cool. There's a lot of really cool looking shit in this movie. Oh, yeah.

This movie looks cool. It looks amazing. It sure does. And like the, like you could tell the CGI budget isn't a lot, but they make things look weird and otherworldly. So the fact that it doesn't look real is fine. It's good. It's like a feature, you know, not a bug.

Well, they say like. I think. Well, I think so in the story, and they keep repeating this in the movie, that it's like a color, a smell that you can't describe. Yes. And a color you've never seen before, but we can see that it's pink. And but it's also, I think the reason why they chose this colors is it's supposed to be a color that nature doesn't, you don't see. Right. There's not a lot of animals. animals that you see that are purple.

Yeah. It is not, it is not scary. It is the color of a neon sign in a boutique hotel that says hashtag adulting. Yes. It is. It is the color you think of when you hear the song,

pink pony clothes. It is. It's true. But looks fucking cool. It's a cool looking color. But it really does take you out of it when they keep saying it's a, it's a color I can't even describe. You're looking at it going pink?

Pink? Pink? Not seen pink before? Pink color. Well, and also, it does remind me a little bit of annihilation. I don't know if you guys saw it. Oh, I love that movie. Saw the movie, read all the books.

Oh, you read all the books? Yeah. I want to read the books. Jeff Vandermey. It is one of the best series I've ever read. He's doing more, too. He's cranking out more Southern Reach books. Yes, yes.

Homie, you read the Southern Reach series. Hey, come on. You know, Emma, listen. Look at us. I wish I read. You can do it with your ear. I'm going to do it. No.

Do it with your ears. I want to do it the old fashion. No, actually, do it with your eyes. Yeah. Do that one with your eyes. I mean, I'm only going to have them functioning for so much longer. They are going fast. That's true.

But no. Annihilation happened like earlier than this. And it's so crazy that it didn't do well in theaters, but everything looked like annihilation after it. Like so many things looked like it. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, yep. Garlands.

Garland's kind of them. Jeff Garland. Jeff Garland, Alex Garland. Jeff Garland directed that movie, right? Larry. Alex Garland does a wonderful job. Yes, he does. Jeff Garland, maybe not a good guy.

I think not good. Maybe a bad guy. Anyway. Weird bottom lips. So the kids are kind of, the kids are like having a lot of weird experiences. There's this, there's this totally hilarious thing that happens where they're driving back from the hospital and they hard. cut to Nicholas Cage, who is just singing opera.

And they don't explain it. They don't show what was happening before or after, and the wife looks annoyed. I like that about it. She looks ill, too, for sure. They're like, she, you know, she looks more and more ill as time goes on. Yeah, yeah. That scene was crazy because he was doing the operatic singing and yeah, it's annoying. But also, I was like, wait, can he sing?

I think he can sing. Oh, yeah. I didn't know he was a good singer. I'm pretty sure he had a band at some point. But also, he's a huge Elvis. fan. So I have a feeling he's definitely done some kind of Elvis singing kind of thing. Good for him.

But yeah, then they're driving along and like kind of arguing about something and then bam. They find the G spot. They find the G spot. Yeah, they come upon the cat who is like weird and mutated. You kind of don't see it except for in the headlights. Pretty creepy. Did you see his eyes? So they, let's talk about the Cage performance.

So Nicholas Cage up into this point, he's using a serious form. He's using a serious voice. That is a good Nicholas Cage impression. I'm a normal man. I'm doing a serious normal man voice. Damn. But when they get back to the farm, he starts doing this other weird voice. Matt, can you play this clip to show what his alternate second voice sounds like?

So in denial. Okay, you know, I've had it with your drama, Lavinia. So do me a favor and get the fuck out of my side. Okay. No, no, actually, I'll save you. you the trouble and get the fuck out of yours. What? Yeah, he's just kind of doing this weird.

It gets on a cool guy, boys. He's doing Quentin Tarantino. He might be. That is a Quentin Tarantino impression. Or Danny Zucco or something like. I love that. He's like, it's hydromatic. I need to play an infected version of myself.

When I get an alien in my brain. I got an alien in my brain, man. I just want to talk about grind house cinema and look at feet, okay? It's Greece Lightning. I want to talk about TV movies from the 70s. I just want to write myself into a movie where I say a slur. Fuck Paul Dano. Fuck Paul Dano.

I have a weird thing about Paul Dano for some reason. What's my problem? Anyway, so the rest of the movie is just weird things happening without much reference to what went on before. The fruit's getting really big, but it's gross. So he takes this big fruit and he eats it and then junked it all in the garbage can. Oh, wait.

Can we talk about the glob in the shower? Let's talk about the glob. That was cool. Sure. So the water, we're talking about like, you know, the water guy keeps going, don't drink the water. Right. You shouldn't drink the water.

Great Dave Matthew's song. That's my only, Dave Matthews song. I don't know that song. Don't drink the water. It's just really that. I just know. The spice between your wicked thoughts. Cue up.

Don't drink the water for later. All right. Sure. I'm going to put it in the end. Instagram post for sure. So yeah, he's, they get home and he's going to like take a shower or whatever, which you're not supposed to, the water's bad. And he gets in the shower and he notices his arms are starting to look kind of scaly and weird,

which I would be freaking the fuck out about, like immediately. But then he looks at the drain of the shower and there's this like milky, you know, disc over the drain. He picks it up and it's like a jellyfish. I was like, oh, fuck. Gross, gross. It's like a big blob of cum. Yeah, yeah.

It's pretty sick. What if you calmed so much, you clogged your shower? Oh, let's make a movie out of it. There is a lot of just like that like visceral stuff that bothers you in this movie. It may be nauseous watching this movie because also everyone is kind of nauseous like Lavinia. Yeah, she's throwing up. She's thrown up a lot. The mom is like, you can tell ill.

And I kind of like stuff with body horror immediately makes me feel repulsed and nauseous. So I was. struggling to get through this movie. I was trying to eat food at some point today. And I was like, I can't. And you try to stop me from eating something. Yeah. Impossible.

You cannot interrupt me. It's like, you know, it was gross. I couldn't do it. Anyway. Yeah, it goes, the movie goes from like, you know, like awkward, low budget movie to, oh my God, horrific. So quick. Yeah.

And it's like the awkward, weird. of the first half is like so ineffective. Because it's so slow. And then it turns into this really like visceral horror movie. Yeah, Lavinia's weird thing. She's in the attic doing spells and like cutting symbols into herself with a box cutter. Yeah. Anytime someone gets stabbed with a box cutter, I'm like, oh my God.

I've used one of those to cut boxes. That's for boxes. You're abhuman. You're not a box. You're not a box, Lavinia. You're not a box. So she's carving weird symbols into herself. There's something wrong with the alpacas.

They go out to check on them. And they're a weird blob, but we don't see what they are yet. And the practical effects are pretty cool. Practical effects in this whip asses. So good. So good. There's a lot of, yeah, it's a great combination of like some CGI stuff that looks good. Yeah.

And then some practical stuff that, you know, it knows how to make something. Which they don't like, they show it to you sparingly. So it's like you're not seeing, you see a lot of shadows. Yes. You see a lot of fleshy, like wet closeups on the beast. And honestly, that is scarier than seeing the whole beast at once. Incredibly tasteful. Like, I've never seen such a competently made movie.

Yeah. Where the content of the movie was just so bad. So bad. Like, so the polar opposite. It was incredible to watch. I wish I had seen it on mute. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, also, the first half of the movie is so fucking slow. Yeah. If they had ramped it up and chopped out the fat from the, I think I would have loved this movie. Yeah. This could have been an 80-minute great, crazy movie. Exactly. And it's a, you know, almost two-hour movie that has a lot of slack. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, yes, the alpacas are going crazy. Mom gets zapped with lightning. And that causes her to fuse with her youngest son in the, what I think is the most horrific image of this. It is the most horrific moment And that is, I told, like, you guys, I kind of, like, I don't mind spoilers. Right. So I had seen that.

That was in a clip of something from, like, you know, watchmojo.com, like, top ten list. Top ten sun fusing scenes. Yeah. It's just one clip. Hey, guys, we're here to talk about sunfusing. You got to admit, it's pretty freaky when you fuse with your sun. Sound off in the comments if you've seen literally any other movie in which this has happened.

Have you fused with your mom? Let us know. Ring that bell and subscribe. But yeah, I'd see that clip and that's when I don't want to see this movie. So that's why I never saw this movie before because I'd seen clips of it and then I was like, no, I'm good. Yeah, this shit's gross. So I've seen chunks of the movie because I was like, I don't know, hanging out with people who were watching it. And then I was like, no, I can't do this.

And I barely got through this movie because it grossed me out so much. But yeah, so the pink light zaps her and her son. And they're like, there's smoke coming off of them and stuff. And they lay them both on the little boy and her on the couch, which she did have a very clingy kind of relationship with the youngest boy. They were like in bed together and stuff, which, you know, that's a little boy. So that's kind of a little boy.

A little boy. Where you maybe wish this movie was better at was like, take the thing from their life and give you the horror version, right? And that's the elevated horror thing too. It's the like, oh, we have this social thing. Like maybe that little boy is a bedwetter and a thumb sucker and he's really scared of stuff. And so his mom is like he's clinging to his mom all the time. Right.

And then you make this happen. Yeah. Like a big. Right. Then you can, then you're doing an art. Yeah. And that'd be nice. I made an art.

Yeah. It'd be nice if this movie had somebody like rewriting it so that art could happen. Yeah. But it was. terrifying to look at. That's for fun of sure. Yeah, that was the real art. So, so they decide to put the mom up in the attic. I don't know why they're all space crazy. Jack, Mommy. Jack and Mommy go to the attic. I guess it's the creepiest place in the house. So they're like,

well, let's put her up there with her work computer where she does her business work. So the, like, two teens. She takes a Zoom call. Hold on, fusing with son. going off cam to fuse with son he puts on like the face filter so she looks like a little bit better like oh okay oh yeah now you and your fuse son actually look very good

puppy dogs with the tongue looking cute um no but the most fucked up line in this whole movie is when they're on the couch and like the older daughter and the older son are just hanging out with their freakish mother son fusion and she goes

it's like he's trying to return to her body. Right. And like absorb back into her body where he came from. And I'm like, gross, bitch. Shut the fuck up. What is that what you think? Well, we've got...

Put on bluey or something. I don't know. A couple more gross things to talk about. And we're going to do that when we come back. Hey, we're back. It's free with ads. We're talking about the truly disgusting finale of color out of space. Cage has a shotgun now.

he runs out to the barn where we see the like mutant alpaca thing that's been created. They're like greasy weird heads are all sticking out of a big blob. Kind of looks like the thing. Yeah. And he like blows all their heads away

with a shotgun while screaming. Yep. So yeah, I think that. And that works by the way, which is an interesting thing with this movie is there's not like even the goth like daughter doesn't really represent a character who's like, this is the audience.

This is you who's running away from the horrors. Instead, everyone is just purple light crazy. Yeah. And when... And then the water guy just isn't. Right. He's the one guy who, I guess, sort of represents the audience, but he is annoying because

he just shows up randomly and then I don't know. But yeah, as soon as you see the shotgun out and then Nick Cage kills the alpaca, you're like, oh, so a gun would just kind of take care of the rest of this movie. It is weird how guns kill some things in this. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, oh, well, what if we just shoot the pink... light. Right, yeah. Just shoot

or shoot any of the weird creatures that happen. Also, why didn't you just shoot your wife and son at the top of that? First thing I would have done is shot my wife and son. Sorry, baby. Sorry, but I'm not living with both the fuse together. Absolutely. I'd be

jealous. Their sex life is really going to get complicated. Sure, yeah. You think we don't fuck now. Wait till the son's fused to your back. Exactly. Now nobody's going to fit in the IKEA I'm never going to be able to do back shots. You got a sun back there.

So, well, that's, so that kind of, that's next. So they go back up in the attic to check on the mom, and she's a spider creature now. It's so gross. She's really, they like stuff the daughter in the attic and lock her in the, I don't know why anyone does anything. They're crazy. Yeah, there's no reason. They're like, crazy. And then the, like, mom is dripping viscera on the daughter and talking about, I'm hungry.

I love that because I was like, wait, I do that with my daughter all the time. Yeah. I literally, because she's three. So like, I'll chase her around the house and then I'll get on top. I'll go, Papa hungry. And she thinks it's hilarious. And you drip slime on her. And then I drip slime on her.

And then I try to fuse. So, you know, just a couple more things happen. The sun falls in the well and that sucks him up. Yeah, they think their dog is in the well. And then he goes down there. I have to go in. Yeah. I was like, no, you don't.

Like, people like their dogs too much. Yeah, that's, this is one of those cases where I'm like, do we really all need to be dog? And if the dog's fine in the well, he's fine. Get him out later. Yeah, he's not, he's not fusing to nothing. He's by himself. Let him have fun. So a water guy comes back with the cop.

They check on Chong, who's like comatose and he's playing this like recording he made of, he was like listening to the ground with a microphone. So, you know, you kind of hear Chong's voice. on this weird, like, reel to reel recorder. Analog tape. He was saying you could hear something, like, walking around or doing something underground, which makes you think that the comet or the color of matter absorbed into the ground, and that's why it disappeared.

Right, right. The sound design on that scene is very good. Very cool. It sounds amazing. Sounds incredible. Weird. So, like, basically the reality implodes on itself after this. Yeah.

The cop shoots Cage, but then a tree monster eats the cop. And then Cage comes back to life. What the fuck was that? Who knows? And then Cage starts chasing around the water guy who hides in the cellar. You get a creepy shot of their whole family on the couch. Yeah, that was weird. Seeming like they've just been absorbed into this thing, even though he's,

Cage has shot them. Oh, Cage shoots the mom. Did I say that? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Shoot Spider-Man. Gun works. And then shoot the sun. Spider-mom.

Spider-mom. Spider-mom. Yeah. does whatever I'm hungry now. Trips some slime on her kid. Look out. Kill me, I'm spider mom.

Spider-mom. Just kill your spider mom. And then, you know, pink light goes crazy. The water guy hides in the wine cellar and then we see him later kind of crawl out from under this ash. Yeah. And then we kind of pull back and see this giant

ash crater like in their town. and then you get and then you see the two towers on 9-11 right and you go oh it's a metaphor it's a metaphor for terrorism darkest day that's right uh you get this weird little scene where he's dressed as like a community college creative writing professor yeah why did he get hot i think he's supposed to be homeless right i think he's just walking around smoking a cigarette i thought he like worked for the maybe they like paid him off this okay what happens in the end this is what I was looking for a YouTube weirdo to explain to me. But they were too weird.

Voices were too bad. This is what everyone else is going to listen to when they're looking for an explanation. I hope our voices sound normal. Sure. God, I hope so too. So what I think happened is like, whatever, the alien force blew itself out. It ran out of pink.

And it polluted the water. And the city was trying to build a dam. And now the house isn't there anymore, they can. could do whatever they wanted to. So they built a dam and he was involved in it somehow and they were like paying him off. But he has this little monologue about how he'll never drink the water. So it seems like the dark conclusion they're coming to is that the alien force left, but they've built this dam on this polluted area and maybe the pink force is seeping out into

the world because you kind of pull back in the clouds look kind of pink. So it's like, oh, is the world just infected now because they built this dam or something else maybe happened. And then just like Britta, it comes up in the sky. Right. Yes, aquafina. Aquafina. No aliens inside. Yeah, you never see him drinking water.

I'm really like worried for his hydration. But like he tells everyone, don't try not to drink the water. And it's like, what do you mean? We'd have to drink water, though. Yeah. He's saying drink bottled water. Yeah. And so this was one big commercial for Desani.

Aquafina. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I have the scene in which he's saying his monologue. Oh, do you? Okay. Yeah, that's right here. Don't drink the water.

Yes. Don't drink the water. It's pretty good, right? Don't dream water. Okay, I'll be real with you. That kind of slag. I know. We all started hacky-sacking.

Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, hacky-sacking with knives in her hands. It's kind of, it's like, violent. But, yeah, I got that. that album when I was in high school and I was like, I saw them live three times. Oh, wow. Cool. Mainly because Guster was opening for them and that was my favorite band in high school.

Guster? I loved Guster. I don't remember Guster. They did this song, Fafa, Fah, Fah, Fah, Fah, Fah, Fah. You remember that song? I do not remember Fah Fah Fah Fah Fah. Big on VH1. Okay, okay.

I was very into adult contemporary music. I love adult contemporary. They're just nice young acoustic guitar boys. Nice, nice acoustic guitar boys. Yeah. Much like Mr. Dave Matthews. That's true. And Benfolds and stuff.

Nice piano boy, I guess. Nice boys. What is the piano but an acoustic guitar? Wonderful point. Give me a song, I'm a piano boy. Use me to my mom tonight. We're all in the mood for a shotgun dad. And he blew my head off tonight.

La la. B, bah, fa, fa, fa, fa. That's Guster, right? That's Guster. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love that song. Guster's great. So, hey, that's the movie, but you know, we got to do the Hunk Watch.

Oh, damn right, we do. It's Hunk Watch. I'm, I think, I think Water Guy, right? Water guy, I think has a, he's got a clean cut college guy charm, and then we see him kind of gussied up at the end. Yeah. I don't know. He's a hunk, I think. I'm giving it to Chong.

Just thinking that too. Because Tommy Chong is not just like playing some hippie guy or what. Right. Like he could have gone incredibly like stereotypically hippie, you know, conspiracy theory. He was kind of playing a little bit of himself. Well, he was, but his makeup in it is so good. Cool. It's very, yeah.

He's got painted nails. He has eyeliner on. Like his final form was really crazy and rad. It was rad. I thought like, I liked the way that they made. made him fierce. So I'm giving it to Chong. I'm going to do the opening scenes, Nick Cage, when he was flirting with his wife.

Oh, yeah, that's good. And like, you know, seducing her. I was like, oh, that's really sweet. So, yeah, that one, but both of these are valid and good. Or the magenta. The color. The magenta grasshopper. Yes.

Oh, yeah. To bring mantis. Bring mantis. Or maybe just space. Yeah. Space, the ultimate hunk. Yes. What a hunk.

Well, we talked about the, yes. The meteor is a hunk because it's a hunk of space. It's a hunk of asteroids. Yes. The meteor. It's the color. The color is a hank. Daddy.

Crash into Earth, Daddy. Yeah. Pollute the groundwater. Oh, that's another day, Matthews. Crash. That's right. Into earth. Yeah.

Baby. Crash into pink. Is this? Is this movie a secret Dave Matthews rock opera? Did we just find the key to this film? Hack up your skirt a little more. Show your son, fuse to your body. Fuse your son to me.

Ultimate Makeout song. Everybody's making out in your dorm. Anyway, okay, that's the plot of the movie. We're going to say what we thought about it when we come back. Hey, we're back. It's free with ads. We are going to rank color out of space on a scale of 1 to 10 super loud commercials. But first, we want to tell you to go to maximum fun.org slash join.

We just recorded a banger of a bonus episode about the pilot of the X-Files. Hell yeah. So if you've been watching the X-Files, now that it's free with ads, tune in to hear what we thought of the pilot, a very fun episode. We got some merch for you at maxfundstore.com. We got t-shirts.

I used it for lunch. Oh. I ate the glass for lunch because a meteor crash near my house and now I'm eating glass. Maxfundstore.com maximum fun.org slash join to get those bonus episodes. Okay. We are going to rank color out of space on a scale of one to ten, super loud commercials. I'll go first because I think I'm the hottest on this movie. I am going to give it a seven.

Wow. I agree that there's a lot of creaky stuff in this movie. But I think if you're a weirdo cage fan, it delivers. And I do think that when the shit hits the fan, it's really, really cool and really unique. I absolutely understand not wanting to sit through the weird beginning of this movie. Yeah. So, you know, it's not one that I would push onto people. but I think in this case for me, the vibes won out.

I think the vibes are cool and unique enough to where it felt like it was a fun watch, even though it starts so weird. But I understand people feeling differently. Matt, you want to go next? Yeah, I'm going to give this a, it's really hard because it looks so good. And I am a fan of body horror, and I'm a fan of really good-looking press. tactical effects, but the content of the movie is so awful for the first 45 minutes that I have to give it a four.

Four is just like, you know, it's, I think a key component of a movie is a script. Liar! What are you talking about? I'm finished with that sentence. Is a script. He needs a script that makes sense. Any script. It felt like it was sort of stream of consciousness writing for a while.

And they got a really, really, really good director, DP, choreographer, cinematographer. Like every single part of this movie slaps except for what the movie is about. And for that, I give it a four. Yeah. Emily, what did you think? I, again, I think this movie looks so cool. I think the horrifying elements are very horrifying. But it's so frustrating that there's no cohesive anything.

Sure. I'm just, I'm so frustrated that the characters just don't make any sense. I don't know. Like, there's so many little things they added in here that didn't come together. Like, it's just a bunch of cool pieces of stuff that don't quite fit together. And then it's insane and scary. So I'm going to give it.

it a five. Five is fair. I don't want to watch it again. I don't. I don't want to watch it. It's so gross. It's so gross. But if you like body horror and you like gross, cool, practical effects and you love it when Nicholas Cage yells, you're going to love this movie, man. All right. So that's the movie. Let's do some plug-in. Matt, you got anything? Nothing. Nothing. Emily, anything. No. Okay. I got a couple of things. Yeah, I know.

I know. I'm Jordan. I got stuff. Sorry. I go to place you want to go to? I know. That's me. Me at the back of Denny's.

I'll buy you a grand slam shot. It's a perfect impression and I will do that. I will do that. And it's a wonderful impression. Thank you. Hey, I was on this week's episode of Maximum Film with our buddy Alonzo Doraldi and his crew. We talked about the Bone Temple.
