Starting point is 00:00:00 There's no place to escape to this is the last Side stories yes, I Mean I want Lois Lane getting her pussy now by the superdog. I want the fuck. I mean, that's a lot I want Superman fucking having sex with the Green Lantern. Yeah But yeah, the only way I'm watching these movies. Yeah Multiple I need the other guys from Wakanda arriving and they're fucking having fun and they're kissing and they're sucking in their fucking Everybody's kissing. I think that also it's like if spider-man had a hole in the suit and he could shoot webs out of it He doesn't hold in the suit
Starting point is 00:00:48 No, but they comes on magically the suit comes on magically and he's got a hat I think if he could shoot webs out of the wrist of his suit You got a whole whips out of the cock of this Oh, yeah, but he doesn't ever because everybody's leaving money on the table No, it's because they're weak and they're stupid and it's why superhero movies are never gonna properly cut the must somebody Sets sounds like you're upset. No, this is me having fun. This is you having fun This is me heard of your fun. You should be Yeah, you should be because my fun doesn't leave any stone unturned. My fun does not leave any bridge unburnt
Starting point is 00:01:20 I like my superhero movies, but I understand that they have no place in this conversation Exactly because we are talking about movies about aliens today. Welcome to side stories. Yes My name is Henry, Nebraska. I'm sitting here with Edward Larson Really good, thank you and I'm also working on It got us all sick! We're all dying here! And we're also sitting here with my fetid, strange, little DNA runoff, Jackie Zabrowski. It's me, it's me, I'm all gloopy and sloopy, oh no, am I the alien?
Starting point is 00:01:59 I'm not, I'm a girl. You are, but we still don't understand your parts. No, you never will. And you have no idea where my tentacles are gonna come out from. But don't worry, they always come out at the wrong time. You know what I've heard? Actually, uteruses do come from Venus.
Starting point is 00:02:13 Yeah? They plop down in the water. The first woman crawled out of the Indian Ocean, this is true, as just a uterus with fins. Interesting. And then slowly but surely those fins turned into tits. That turned into a head. The most important parts.
Starting point is 00:02:29 Yes. No, tits were first. Yeah, well the uterus was first. I mean, obviously. Ute, you got the ute. And then you got the boot, which is the butt. Yes. And then the head.
Starting point is 00:02:38 Ute and the boot. And then the tits. Oh, so tits are fourth and fifth? All together at once. This is not what today's episode is about it could be today's episode I'll talk about you to do I love you tell me about that's my new store. That's my new Western gear store You know if you're you you better take a bit yes I we are actually going to you ten is what women should call just living.
Starting point is 00:03:06 Yeah. We are talking about alien movies today. Every day I'm Newton and Newton and Newton and every day I'm Newton and Newton and Newton. The reason why we're talking about alien movies is because we are headed towards contact in the desert. And we love film here. We've talked about film several times as a triptych.
Starting point is 00:03:24 And I think that, Eddie brought this up. I think it's good to talk about alien movies because I think even amongst sci-fi films within the sci-fi genre, you would call the alien film its own part of the genre. Yeah, they lean in the horror. Sometimes. Sometimes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:03:42 Sometimes they lean into discovery. Like, because like for me, the gam Sometimes they lean into discovery, like, because, like, for me, the gamut of alien movies goes from, like, Closer Encounters of the Third Kind to Alien to things like Mack and Me. Yes. Oh, yeah, for sure. Like, what was the one with the... the other one with the guy, uh, Gossip Junior?
Starting point is 00:04:00 Who's... Oh, uh... Who's Gossip Junior? Oh, Enemy Mind. Enemy Mind. Enemy Mind. Yes. That's a good one. Another good Alien movie. Yeah, that one scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Really it depends on what we're defining alien as here So here's what I want to I want to say first of all, no comic books. No Marvel. No DC
Starting point is 00:04:29 No, it was aliens don't count you're saying that and you said and up top you said no Superhero movies. No, but I do have one that I feel like could ebb Both genres and that yeah, I said ebb just go with with it. Ebb like it's a web, okay? Like it's being spread, like its legs are being spread like a web. I'm still thinking about the holes in the webs, okay? Webs have legs? Meteor Man. Meteor Man!
Starting point is 00:04:56 That's not a superhero movie. It is though. It is a superhero movie, but it is also an alien movie. But I feel that that is a movie that encompasses both Pluto Nash can go fuck Suck my dick Man is great. That is the so you decided of all of the films in the history of film You went back and picked meteor man. I love meteor man. Is he an alien? It is because no
Starting point is 00:05:26 and picked Meteor Man. I love Meteor Man. Is he an alien? No, he's not an alien. No, he touches a comet. But then here's the thing, okay, this is what my question to you guys is. Is it still an alien if it is a meteorite that comes down and infects it but it is from outer space? No, it needs to be its own alien. Okay, alright, it has to be its own alien. Hey, this is a conversation Henry. You're coming in defensive. I'm asking the question because then Alien, right? Yeah foreign things coming into your country Austin powers. Is he an alien? No Traveling but also an alien It's not no you're just saying the word no no some aliens could be us from the future Henry different, but I'm just saying guys no no We immediately went off
Starting point is 00:06:12 It's gonna be alien it knows Star Wars no Star Trek here about those no we will do yeah No, we were doing immigrant film. I want an immigrant films here I would love to do we will but that's not today But I only want to talk about Austin Powers when we do it. He's also technically a federal employee Yeah, and he's not he doesn't he's defunding he works for the Brits. He's not an American citizen. No, he's a British boy Yeah, but he never swears in but most of the movies take place in London. Yeah You went down the wrong path immediately at the very top of this whole assignment. You know what it was?
Starting point is 00:06:48 It was because last night I received the assignment late. And let's say I had had quite a few hogs legs at this point. I started laughing to myself. And you are talking about pork and not weed. Yeah, obviously, yeah. I'm chomping, I'm grabbing, I'm gnashing. She can tell the fat content goes up in her blood when she gets the rosacea. Yeah, baby, and I'm all flush, but not with the horn.
Starting point is 00:07:10 I'm flush with the space. But are we flush with the space balls? And how do you feel about Barf being considered an alien? This is the thing, again, we were trying to say no Star Wars either. I think Spaceballs is out. Yes. Okay. I think, actually, hear about, how about this about this movies that take place in outer space are out well
Starting point is 00:07:35 But mom and dad saved the world if you think about it that is human beings then going so then the humans are the aliens Yes, it still is a alien centered film I would say mom and dad saved the world is an alien centered film that is an alien movie They're on an art in earth and part of its unearth and they go up there that has the foes of the child molester and the Other guy was a woman in that yeah, Chester Chester Chester Chester Chester molester. No, that's the no pretty Patty Perkins yep So here's some other aliens.
Starting point is 00:08:06 These are actual alien movies. Terry Gar. And so I typed in alien film and this is what comes up. Contact, Starman, ET, Galaxy Quest. Makes sense. Galaxy Quest I don't count. Why? Because it's in space. They don't ever go to Earth. I mean I do sort of, I see what of I see what it's like a fantasy film
Starting point is 00:08:27 So you know I think it's more like Lord of the Rings than he did And what about alien because alien does take place on the Nostromo? What it makes it an alien movie it's all humans verse alien sure I can actually see that too I feel the same way with The species whoo yeah, yeah That's on earth spicy yeah good fuck movie good fuck movie. Where's my good old-fashioned? Fuck movie. That's not the baby girl. Yeah, baby girl sucks. Natalie and I tried to watch it and you're both heavy opposite No, it's not we had the I'd had the opposite effect
Starting point is 00:09:09 No, I think it was very demeaning to women and we'll get into it on a different podcast Yeah on the immigrant podcast where women are immigrants. I would love to have a kink conversation with both of you No, it's not demeaning. It's all it's completely. She still needs a man! Okay. She still needs a dude! If she was completely independent, she could have sex with a vacuum cleaner. She should have fired his fucking ass! Yeah, she'd be like, fuck you, don't disrespect me, I'm the boss. You guys know so much more about the female experience than I do, and I appreciate you both. Now, here's the thing...
Starting point is 00:09:40 You're not an expert here. I feel... In this room... So then, but then I'd love to talk about alien comedies because I didn't realize I In thinking about all of these alien movies. I realized as a whole I am way more scared of space in general Than I am of individual aliens cuz I truly believe on Jeff so hard Yeah, because he's got a big space. No, you're scared of him leaving and oh, yeah But also I'm scared of the gravity going away and me just being sucked up into the universe
Starting point is 00:10:11 But that's just you know, you got a grip on to the ones that you love. Yes. I am you wear a space belt Yeah, you wouldn't drift into space. Well, I know that's to keep my space pants up. No, it's a space Well, no, that's to keep my space pants up. No, the space pants are attached to your space shirt. Oh, yeah. It's all attached. It's all attached, baby. I wanted to talk about Coneheads, and I wanted to talk about Earth Girls Are Easy.
Starting point is 00:10:33 I haven't seen somebody take a sandwich like that since my mom. Yeah. Coneheads is amazing. Coneheads holds up. Now, last night, I was with some friends, and we were going to watch Earth Girls Are Easy because of this prompt, but then we had the conversation, does it hold up?
Starting point is 00:10:49 We didn't end up, we talked about it for so long, we didn't end up watching the movie. But then in talking through it, that I was like, I think it still holds up. When was the last time you watched Earth Girls Are Easy? 25 years. Yeah, it's been a really long time, and I remember I loved it.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Yeah, I loved those things. Well, think about the fact that Jeff Goldblum, Jim Jim Carrey and I believe Damon Wayans are the three aliens in that movie Yeah, yeah, yeah, and like cool They do it that was stacked because I went about the time they did once bitten But you know what to be honest, I am NOT a fan of the 80s screwball sex comedy I am kind of over it earth girls are easy is very much a screwball sex comedy. I am kind of over it. Earth Girls are easy is very much a screwball sex comedy more than anything else. Yeah. And I like because I like I want my alien movies for the most part to have a touch of like you can go to fantasy like Flight of the Navigator.
Starting point is 00:11:38 Great I love Flight of the Navigator because it both is an adventure film. I like all Florida movies. All, sure. And, but it's also this, it has a touch of why we're making a movie about an alien. Which is, we're introducing another way of thinking. We are, we're going on, we're expanding our experience in a way that we would never be able to get on our own. And so, there's something about Flight of the Navigator that to me is one of those, that's a good example of the difference between that
Starting point is 00:12:10 and Earth Girls Are Easy, which is just to see Gina Davis with Nobrah. Of course. Is there a trauma that happens in Flight of the Navigator? Because I haven't seen it since I was a kid, but I remember something about it that really made me very sad. It's just that-
Starting point is 00:12:24 But that's all I remember from it. All 80s child movies back in the day had a wonderful sense of what it actually was like to be a kid. Which is sad. Which is dangerous. Yeah. And scary.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Like Prancer. Yeah, they would allow things to be sad, they would allow things to be scary for kids, unlike now where they're not allowed to feel any emotion. So they are, now obviously everything's all saccharine and everything's all about every bit of everything's fine or whatever Yeah, but it's like this stuff is like it's nice You just remember this because it felt like because the kid was genuinely on his own Yeah, well that and he was hanging out with the alien who became like real friends with yeah, right
Starting point is 00:13:00 And then what the the trauma is they tried to take his friend from him Yeah Yes, right and then what the the trauma is they tried to take his friend from him Yeah And so it made me just as a kid in seeing that it just really I and I haven't seen it since and I was also Thinking about watching last night. I was like I feel like I just remember a profound sadness and watching this It's got ET. It's got the ET vibe It's got the Mac and me vibe where you become friends and someone wants to steal your friend And one of my hardest things about like truly about ET which I'll always kind of like I am Thankful that they have gone ahead and I guess we put the guns back in yes
Starting point is 00:13:35 I believe that they did that you can watch either version when they took the guns out of the movie What the in the end like it's Spielberg went back He wanted to make sure it was like good for kids or whatever. And they CGI'd ET a little bit, like him hopping over logs and shit like that. They did a sheen already. It was really funny.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Did he show his little legs? So bad. Yeah, he looks like Kermit. Oh, but I love Kermit's little legs when they show his legs. I do too, but it's different than when it's ET. Okay. And so it's like,
Starting point is 00:14:01 but that was like one of those things where I watched that and I was like, when you take the guns out of their hands, I know why you're doing it, but you're also removing the stakes. Yes. Yes, you're removing what this is If you remove the stakes Yeah, no ET but yeah it They released it but now you can watch the older version if you get your hands on it, I believe. But ET is like, I still very much obviously, I like that. ET is an unbelievable film. Now, how about this? ET or Close Encounters? Close Encounters.
Starting point is 00:14:35 Close Encounters. Really? I think I go ET actually. Really? I think Close Encounters is like, if you're like Henry and you're a bigger fan of Aliens general, it's got the lore all of it's got it's got It's got search also the idea that maybe Spielberg like this is where I love the conspiracy edge to Because Spielberg at the time he had government consultants working on that movie Yes, Jacques Ville who was one of my obviously one of my favorite Theoreticians my favorite alien thinkers. He was also a consultant on the movie
Starting point is 00:15:06 He's portrayed as a character within the movie the French guy. Yes in close encounters with their kind is based off of that guy Yeah, and so Spielberg Technically was told many times that this was like there. That's why there's a lot of conspiracy You're a ship in the desert something that actually happened No, but the idea of the US government coming up with a communication protocol to talk with something that doesn't speak is actually, I guess, like part of the government research he got that he like slipped into the movie. I'm sorry, you mean like Arrival?
Starting point is 00:15:44 Like what happens in Arrival? That that's what... Basically the idea of using tones, like when he does the whole like, the talking to the aliens. That came from a government concept of if we are approached by another species, or something from outer space,
Starting point is 00:16:03 how do we communicate? Whoa, so that is what's awesome. That's what's awesome. And then I feel like that's Almost Steven Spielberg's crowning achievement is close encounters the third kind and it's just the ends beautiful. It is I love with them But by the way, there's gonna be spoilers in this I think we're gonna be loose-lipped for the rest of the episode Yeah, I think that you should know that there will be some spoilers ahead But at the end with the the aliens when he got the who he got little girls to portray the aliens He like all the little aliens at the end, you know how they're walking around
Starting point is 00:16:40 They're all like chilled girls like because he liked the way they moved Oh, he liked the way they like were gentle and like in stuff like that. They're all like chilled girls like because he liked the way they moved Oh, he liked the way they like were gentle and like in stuff like that They're all little kid. You didn't want to be he didn't want people to be scared of him He wanted people to like be enamored with him And so they're all cast as they're all little girls. What these more in their marine than the movement of a little girl More nothing makes no more filled with ammo Thank you, is that the guy? Yeah, thank you Oh
Starting point is 00:17:25 Jock Palay actually was the first person to sing that song. Yeah, and also Spielberg. We gotta mention war of the worlds I think that war of the worlds we talked about this right before we started recording is a sleeper Fantastic movie. I really like it But I think that it lost its cock at the end of the movie it did You know when they when they let the kid when they didn't Kill the son they should have killed that mother right off He was an idiot show people that there's consequences for your fucking idiot actions. I agree more kids
Starting point is 00:17:58 I've talked about this yeah kill the child Kids know that if you fuck up you die in the film you die you Alright, Tom Cruise is not coming back. He's five foot two. Yeah, not gonna protect you He doesn't care. He's out there looking for a dick to suck, but they're not here to protect you little boy No, or a fish to suck his dick For any or maybe he was a namarro We see Any or maybe he was enamored with the activities of a little girl. Oh yeah, here it comes full circle. The fish is the woman.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Wow. Where are your gills? They're underneath my flaps. Yep. Remember, you, tits, gills, head, then butt. The gills come seventh in importance. It depends on how you look at the gills and how much you wanna stick your dick inside of them. You're already talking about that. He already brought up, give us more prompts, Eddie. You got some good prompts.
Starting point is 00:18:51 No, I'm working on it. Well Predator, I mean, well first of all, we talked about Arrival. Let's talk about Arrival. Sure. Well that's the first Contact film. Yeah. Well, I'd almost say it's his own genre itself,
Starting point is 00:19:00 even amongst alien movies. So I have, all right, then let's go back even further. Alien Abduction versus alien invasion versus alien contact. Yes. There's three different things here. There's three different things going on here. I think alien abduction are
Starting point is 00:19:16 horror movies. Alien invasion are action movies. And alien contacts are kind of like drama. That's actually really, that's a really good breakdown. Yeah. It's a very, very good a very good breakdown. For the most part, yeah. It's a very, very good breakdown because it's true. All the alien abduction movies, Dark Skies, Fire in the Sky, there's a communion, they all have an edge of the horror to it,
Starting point is 00:19:36 which is the truth of being space raped. And also being brought to an unknown place, that's already very upsetting and you never get taken to a second location. I know these things. We know these things. But abductions are also, I'm trying to think of like, my mind, I'm trying to think of a, you know what's a positive alien abduction movie?
Starting point is 00:19:54 Hmm. Cocoon. Cocoon, well, do they get abducted? Well. Sorta. That's an invasion. They come and they put the eggs in the pool, and the old people. Are they all aliens at the time?
Starting point is 00:20:04 I don't remember Cocoon. Cocoon, they come, it's an old person's home, and they put the eggs in the pool and the old are they all aliens at the time? I don't remember cocoon cocoon they they come it's an old person's home and they show up They're all like 45 in a weird eggs in the bottom of the pool You know and there's like giant eggs in the pool and they're trying to figure out what it is And then all of a sudden like they all get powerful am I wrong that I just remember this being very very boring But I haven't seen it sit for a very long time Yeah, I remember loving it sit for a very long time. I went and saw it in the theater. Yeah. I remember loving it as a kid.
Starting point is 00:20:28 I liked it as a kid. To be honest with you. But I also, I mean, Domimici, so much fun. Brian Dennehy, Wilford Grimley. I mean, like, this is great. You can't find this movie now, by the way. It's out of print and it's not streaming anywhere. Really?
Starting point is 00:20:40 Why? And apparently it's like selling very high on eBay. That's so funny. I thought it was, why? Was it Ron Howard movie that's, it's like selling very high on eBay Why was a Ron Howard movie that's on it's an un- it's like a forgotten classic I get let me look at the fucking cast Like yeah, I know that you guys don't know if you're younger than the 35 the boot and the goot I mean If you're younger than age of 35 there used to be a thing called character actors And what they used to do is they used to have people that look like people you'd meet on the street
Starting point is 00:21:07 but they'd be actors yeah they'd be in things and one of those things now we just don't get jobs they just don't well they just don't they're either you're either have to be deformed yes and they're only so many you're only get you get one fat girl movie a year. That's how you get it. If you don't get it that, well, you're shit outta luck. Sorry about it, we already put a fat one in. And so this one had, you know who's huge,
Starting point is 00:21:35 it's Don Amici. Don Amici's an amazing character actor, I believe was also in Batteries Not Included. I think he was. Batteries Not Included was an amazing movie an amazing not an alien movie. Yes it is Oh, I was thinking of short circuit because I was looking at batteries not included and I was looking up short circuit It's not a circuit. It's not an alien. No that's we will do a come to life. That's robot comes to life movie We will do a robot like that's Chappie is short circuit and
Starting point is 00:22:01 Batteries not included is more district 9 That's fascinating I do love batteries on included What I think is important when we talk about this dumb stuff right like we're sitting here partially It's obviously we're having fun on the show. we like talking about movies, but it really is important I think to filmmakers and I've heard this said in filmmaking class, which is the idea of know Your genre. Yeah, it doesn't matter what Anybody else thinks about the movie if you know
Starting point is 00:22:40 What the genre of the movie is as the maker? Yeah, and so that perspective changes everything. And it really requires, I think, unfortunately, the real education of a filmmaker is watching movies and identifying what are the telltale signs of very specific genres. Because then what you can do is, if you're a really good filmmaker,
Starting point is 00:23:01 you can manipulate the traditional chapters of a genre film to tell stories. But it's important to know those very traditional chapters. And that they are very distinct versions of movies. And it's funny until you start to really pick them all apart to see like, there really is entire veins of, you could see producers in the 80s saying the, having kind of dumb ass conversations like this that are actually extremely important to the art.
Starting point is 00:23:32 Absolutely. I mean, it's, alien movies are very deep. They're way deeper than you think they are. Oh yeah, for sure. You know, a lot of times they reflect society, which I think is really fucking cool. Well that's also the best part of horror and genre I feel like horror as a genre is one of the best the same thing with sci-fi sci-fi and horror are such a great entertaining way to deliver
Starting point is 00:23:55 Ideas as well, especially sci-fi. Yeah, sci-fi is like that's why in the end I love sci-fi because it delete it delivers cool Concepts. Yeah in an entertaining way. I like District 9, it's kind of about apartheid. Very much so. Oh yes. I love that shit. District 9 is so good.
Starting point is 00:24:12 I love District 9. I feel like that movie, I hear a lot of people say they don't like it. No, it's cause he lost the pole. I think the director himself kinda lost it. It got nominated for best picture. But the rest of his movies were not very,. I love was my happy. I'm a chappy sympathizer I hate you. District 9 was very good. I know there and has great rewatch ability
Starting point is 00:24:35 I have me chappy chappy ruin that for me. There's a sequel coming of chappy chappy Like 10 years. Yeah, District 69. Alien! Yeah, fuck yeah, dude. Alien! Sucking dick! Eating pussy dick! Dude, they're fucking eat your prawn ass.
Starting point is 00:24:53 I'm gonna slap what? Dude, I'm fucking skin you. I'm gonna take your shell off. I'm shitting! It's not my little legs. It's not my pussy, it's my asshole. I want to bring up a movie that I, it was one of the first movies I thought of when you said alien movies and it was one of the first movies I thought of when you said alien movies and it
Starting point is 00:25:05 Was one of my favorites as a child and that was purple people eater Remember the movie yeah, I was obsessed with that movie We all were slapstick children child children so weird and I feel like that's why in going back through I have so many more memories, and I don't know if it was going back through, I have so many more memories, and I don't know if it was because I was born in the late 80s of zany alien movies. When I think alien movies, also one of the first things I thought of,
Starting point is 00:25:35 Little Shop of Horrors. That's more of where my brain goes to. Yes, it is. I guess that is an alien movie. And it's an alien, very much an alien movie. It's's an alien movie. Very much an alien movie. He's from outer space. It's a triphid. I think, yeah, I think of like, you know, a Rocky Horror picture show.
Starting point is 00:25:50 I think of the Rocky Horror. Alien movie, yeah. They're aliens from the planet Transylvania. I thought that was from the planet Transylvania. Oh, that's not a Frankenstein movie. No. Oh, interesting. Have you never seen Rocky Horror?
Starting point is 00:26:01 I have, but I'm always hammered. Yeah. Of course. It is, it's so, I think that like having, I would love to do a big like go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go Never seen Rocky Horror. I have but I'm always hammered. Yeah. Yeah I think that like having I would love to do a big like go and do like an experience. I've never actually gone It's a lot of fun. Yeah, it's a lot of fun. I have friends that do it in They do it regularly and it yeah, it sounds like a blast I just never I've really done it. I stumbled upon it in Phoenix when I was by myself at midnight. And I had one seat left. It was amazing.
Starting point is 00:26:28 That's such a great time. That's awesome. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Our Little Shop of Horrors is very good. And really did scare me. That I think scared me more than the original Alien did when I saw it young, just because I thought it could happen. Like in a way that I think, and when I was a kid just because I thought it could happen like
Starting point is 00:26:46 in a way that I think and when I was a kid I thought alien could never happen but Little Shop of Horrors could and I know that's very stupid thing. Well because you're in space and you can relate to New York you can't relate to a spaceship. You're so right. I am not scared of Event Horizon. Yes because we grew up in Skid Row. Yo Skid Row. Oh!
Starting point is 00:27:04 Oh! And I love Little Shop of Horrors. You know, I think that... I wonder what it is. Maybe let's ask this question, because I wonder if, again, if you're younger than 30, if you've experienced this, where when we were growing up, I remember being... vaguely traumatized by certain films when I was a kid that now I look at are not
Starting point is 00:27:29 They're not scary right well you don't have restrictions on you right you can watch anything Semi sort of we I mean like but it was the stuff that was interesting it was a stuff Oh my god, you're showing us the look who's talking That was looking talking to the toilet. That was Look Who's Talking 2, right? I think so. You know what mine was? Give me your pee.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Give me your pee. Give me your pee. Give me your pee. Give me your pee. Yes. You know what it was mine? It was the opening sequence from Amazing Stories. Oh.
Starting point is 00:27:57 The opening sequence from Amazing Stories that was the Steven Spielberg's basically Twilight Zone ripoff. The show. Yes. Yes. That was truly pure play. This, for some reason, it still brings chills to my fucking spine for some reason This the song of it does is that just?
Starting point is 00:28:11 No, this is a sexy scene. There's a second. This is a clip because it's a There is that remember that when he got the ring he buys the ring from the pawn shop And it's Danny DeVito and real pearlman. Yeah. Oh my god. Yes I don't know why this- I remember this. Yeah. It still freaks me out. It's like, it literally makes all the hands
Starting point is 00:28:31 on the back of my neck. I love it. It shows you, like, it's just like Spaceship Earth. It is. It shows you like the evolution of storytelling. Something about the music and about the caveman being lost in the dark and then That top hat top hat magic. Oh those dirty magician liars, I don't like they're lying Life isn't an illusion
Starting point is 00:28:55 Life is real magician man. I gotta watch that. I haven't seen this legitimately since I was a child amazing stories really holds up Yeah, I've watched a fuck ton of recent Twilight Zone movie They're all oh yeah, except for the murder. He committed. It's actually it's a Murder was an accidental death that it's gonna get we're being fast and loose Yeah, with some they were they were being fast and loose, but at the same time they didn't kill anyone on purpose Unfortunately, it's just the idea that movies are Supposed to be just so important that it doesn't matter What happens to anybody involved like that's like one of those things that I'll always sort of like
Starting point is 00:29:31 There's a bitter taste in my mouth because it led to the rust stuff that it led to the allman Brothers stuff with Sarah Brown And Sarah Jones and it led to all that stuff where it's like that idea that you know We're all we need to be so thankful to be in this It's like that idea that you know, we're all we need to be so thankful to be in this Industry, yeah that we can die for it. But accidents do happen on any job I do agree. I agree. It was mostly just everybody but it's not like a line cooks never been dead You know, like it's like a lot of time a line cook is killed by an ex-girlfriend or someone else on staff by an ex-girlfriend or someone else on staff. That's different. Again, they just are, they chose the life.
Starting point is 00:30:08 Lion Cook Life chose them. What are some recent Alien films that you've seen? Alien, obviously we're not talking about the Alien series, but like movies about Aliens that you've seen. I'll go first. Last night I wanted to prepare a little bit so I put two on. I didn't make it through the second one, but I saw No One Will Save You, the Hulu original new film.
Starting point is 00:30:27 Yes. It's high. It was better than I thought it was gonna be. I wish I would have known that there was no dialogue in the movie. Oh my God, that was, I remember, about 30 minutes in I'm like, are they not talking? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Are you blinded? Well, I got, technically, Alien Romulus was fine. I really liked it. I liked it better than Prometheus I thought that was fine. I saw that one and then is Dune an alien movie. No, no dunes in the Star Trek Robin, I mean technically it's a fantasy. Have you ever seen Sputnik? No Sputnik is a very good Alien horror film. Yeah, very very good. And there was another one about remember that the moon's dangerous The one where they go up on the moon. I want to say it's Apollo. Oh Yeah, it's a couple it was they made it a couple years ago. Yes Apollo like 19 They go to the moon that one you go to the moon and the church at the moon's got bugs on it
Starting point is 00:31:25 It's got evil bugs on it. Yeah, not dangerous. I'm like, oh something. It's Apollo something. Yeah, that's another one of the more recent Like Apollo 13 Yes, there's Apollo 11 is a quiet place an alien movie yes, they are aliens alien invasion They are aliens. It's an alien movie. Yes. They are aliens? Alien Invasion. They are aliens. It's an alien invasion. Okay. That Quiet Place prequel, whatever that other one, was hot garbage. You're telling me the cat isn't gonna meow one fucking time?
Starting point is 00:31:55 One time? One meow out of that cat to rip its larynx out? The original one was pretty good. I thought it was pretty good. It's fine. Yeah, it didn't break the bank. Do you know how many movies came out in a row about being quiet? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:08 There was like five movies in a row about being quiet. And honestly, you know which one won? Don't Breathe. Don't Breathe was obviously the superior of all of them. Made for $2 million in Detroit. It was so good. And that is our Be Quiet film, movie genre episode. So say it, Quiet Place.
Starting point is 00:32:23 What's there to like about The Quiet Place? No cokeheads. Sad. movie About the quiet place no coke heads sad yeah, man. They're not tweaking out loud You know so Cloverfield Lane 10 Cloverfield Lane is fucking awesome. Yes Goodman's greatest roles tragedy. He didn't get nominated. Yes. He puts on a display of acting in that film I love 10. It's one of the movies on my list. I think it's one of my favorite alien film. I love that movie. Yeah, it's terrifying. It's three different genres in one. You know, it's like, it's like a, what, like a capture? What would you call that? Like kidnapping film, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I would put it as a, you know, what's funny. It's in the be quiet movie category
Starting point is 00:33:08 The be quiet movie category, unfortunately, that's the tone whole other thing. Everybody's gotta be quiet So how do you feel about that? Can I let out of the bag who we're gonna interview a contact at the desert? Of course, we're gonna interview Whitley Schreiber at contact in the desert very excited So I'm like once I found out last night that communion is actually about him written by him Yes, wrote the screenplay and the book. Yes. I got halfway through it. I'm enjoying it, but it's a little silly It's a dated for sure the Christopher Walken thing. It is it is quite dated. The aliens are definitely puppets There is a weird thing with Chris
Starting point is 00:33:43 Walken's really given a very Behind the scenes from like walking. Yes, they are walkins really given a very Behind the scenes from the movie. Yes, this is from the movie I didn't get I didn't get to this dances like this in the movie can't help it You know, it's like Sam Rockwell. He's gonna dance if he's in a film. Yes, you know, he used to be a dancer Yeah, yeah. So I like how do you feel about communion? Is it accurate and then a follow-up question Henry? What is the most accurate? movie about alien invasions that you or something like that that you would think of I personally think the most accurate is I love arrival. Okay. I love the idea of something truly alien that it is very difficult for us to understand love that
Starting point is 00:34:27 I think that's a part of what the main issue is that we expect these things to show up and we'd even recognize them Yes And then communion you'd probably close to put the most directly Like consulted by somebody that was abducted by aliens. So I guess technically you would say it would have to be the most accurate because he was the guy that wrote it was abducted by aliens.
Starting point is 00:34:53 Fire in the sky. Fire in the sky had a lot of liberties. I don't know if Travis Walton necessarily was even involved with the making of Fire in the Sky. Cause it's based off of the book. I believe that he was more inspired. Oh he's in it, he's in the movie. He's in the movie, but I don't know He can't yo, so I think he's I mean he cosigns it for sure Why don't we solve speak and contact in the desert he show scenes for the film. Oh, yeah
Starting point is 00:35:17 Yeah, I mean he's got to be pro it yeah But like what do you so you think arrival would be the most accurate to what we're talking about here like like, you know I mean I go back and forth I mean cuz it's so over the top and like they're making like a clear point that First of all, don't be scared of them. Well, you know, I just as much a time-travel movie as it is Yeah, I do. Yeah, you know, it's hard because in my mind I still believe that there's way more of a psychic component to the whole thing I think that that a the idea of the the entire scenario
Starting point is 00:35:51 Being kind of wrapped up in one movie is actually quite difficult Yeah, I think Close Encounters might be the most accurate sure because it's got the orbs It's got the you know, it's got a lot of things that are taken straight from people's experience. Oh yes, and then the idea of being feeling like you're special, like you're being spoken to, like you're, you got chose, Richard Dreyfus was chosen in that film. A lot of times people talk about abduction scenarios going on by the time, when the, when people that have been abducted that remember past a certain age, they then kind of go into either some form of regression therapy or something where then they begin to think that they're in or
Starting point is 00:36:27 Maybe come to realize that they have been getting abducted since they were a kid. Yeah, so That would also reflect that and Then I do think it's Mack and me Yeah It has to have a butthole for a mouth. Yes. You know what other one I like a lot? Contact.
Starting point is 00:36:49 Contact is a very emotional movie. Yeah, I enjoy Contact. I think it is, it's definitely, it has its silly parts to it and like it gets a little weird with the Matthew McConaughey and all that stuff. But I love the Jake Busey character. He's terrifying to me. and you know it's just sad You think Jake Busey?
Starting point is 00:37:09 Like frightens his family and his friends obviously yeah, you see that Gary Busey's grandson has a band It's a one-man band that he does fake rave music with oh He's not like playing the accordion or no. It's kid or is it one of those another child? No, it's some other child because he the guy's too old. Oh, okay But yeah, I mean that's nothing to do with what we're talking about. No, I do you see could be an alien Yeah, they definitely could have a question for you guys because you said all right no movies that completely occur in space But what about sphere? Now that is in space, but that is an alien to or it's like at least you know something that is I didn't even Think about spheres kind of water ish isn't it? Ask but it's also
Starting point is 00:37:53 See snakes like read you and go inside of it and like no it so it is well alien Now we know about aliens more than ever they are probably if they are somehow based on the planet Earth They probably are coming from the water yes Okay, that makes sense Wow sphere. I haven't thought about sphere in a long time I loved the movie sphere I saw this in the theater, and I remember really not liking it Really? Yeah, I remember
Starting point is 00:38:16 No, watch it again. It's great. It's a Michael Crichton film. I mean it's very bad. It's not good It's I understand if you were young watching it I like watching it now and I think it's maybe because I watched it so many times when I was young. Yeah that I Always enjoy it. It's not you don't watch it for it to be good though. Okay I have two more esoteric choices that I absolutely love. Oh, yeah Annihilation I love annihilation, but that's you know, that's not another annihilation is great You know what else no one can I say something about annihilation? I feel like the plot from annihilation Was borrowed from for frozen 2 and I think that they fucking ripped off annihilation. Well, you know
Starting point is 00:39:01 Okay, I thought you meant that frozen to It's actually not good at all I would see that again. Yeah, no, definitely, you know biggest joint you can roll You know way better than Paul I hate Paul Paul saw right hey, yeah Paul was garbage. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, Seth MacFarlane's not good at movies. He's not is he? No, although I am very excited for the new naked gun Oh, I get it. I'll see I'll see it. We'll see I'll see it. I'll see it. We'll see. Fly from your grave. You know, but with Annihilation, you know what Annihilation is. Annihilation is essentially a retrofitting of Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad.
Starting point is 00:39:55 And same thing as Apocalypse Now. Same thing as these. It's all about traveling into a thing. Technically also Annihilation borrows a lot from a sci-fi author by the name of J.G. Ballard, who wrote a book called The Crystal World that is just like this. It's just this like, a weird force has arrived, it's changing a part of this one part of the country, scientists are arriving in there to try to figure it out.
Starting point is 00:40:17 Yeah, I didn't say, there's something about the travel in. No one saw Annihilation. I feel like it got unjustly, like, I don't it got like unjustly like I don't know pander I don't know what happened to that movie and why it wasn't popular It was my was walking me also Alex Garland same guy did that ex Machina Oh, yeah, and civil war yeah warfare and civil war and warfare Yeah, it's a new Iraq War movie. Is it funny? No, it's hilarious.
Starting point is 00:40:48 It's hilarious, yeah, it's a laugh a minute. It takes place in real time. Oh wow! He's also doing 28 years later, which I am excited. Oh, I thought that was Danny Boyle. Oh, is it? I thought it was Alex Garland. They're putting Michael Gannuffini in more things. He was good.
Starting point is 00:41:04 He was good. He's good in warfare. He's good. Yeah. Oh, did you see warfare? Yeah. Oh All right, let's move on to Alien films we don't like oh I'll go first pitch black and Signs don't like either one of them, you know pitch black is funny because that's a Vin Diesel effort outside of triple X that I actually kind of like because nowadays, you know, what's funny about those style of like this genre is that at this point because of the superhero genre it makes these movies look way better
Starting point is 00:41:42 Okay, all without the soupy. Have you got rid of this? Space so I go I'm going against my own but if you got rid of the superhero genre The you we would still be bagging on these movies But because superhero movies are such a waste of everybody's time is such a waste of the economy and money and shit these movies You just showed that like look at this like this was made like 25 million dollars dumb God, don't you hate the superhero genre superhero genre we you know we do ads for them yeah yeah fucking can't stand them I think Thunderbolts is gonna be great the problem with the movies with my main issue truly is just that I'm not going to watch ten movies to
Starting point is 00:42:19 watch one movie you don't have to yes you do idiot proof no but then that's the problem is that now I'm watching them as an Idiot and I've done this I've tried to watch them out of sequence And then I watch one that I'm sort of vaguely interested in and they have all these references to a bunch of shit that I Couldn't possibly give us a fuck about and it's all those other set words like just make this one movie And you buy but would have bought a ticket to it. This is just one Standalone film yeah, I could just watch the movie. That's why I watch movies and I hate television series I don't watch television series because guess what they never end and they just fucking keep going. You really don't watch it
Starting point is 00:42:52 I don't like TV that much, but I do watch some of it. You watch none none. I watch none I watch you watch the crash TV. I watch trash reality TV. Yeah documentaries. I watch my drag race I watch my I got project runways coming back and then I watch movies see I watch none of that and I watch some you know some actual TV yeah every time I watch the TV I don't like it such a fucking coward I hate the thing too you know what I really really fucking hate we're really fucking hate You open this yeah
Starting point is 00:43:35 When they like it's just there's too many storylines all at once. Mm-hmm and everybody it's just like I just don't I don't care It's you love too much. I you know, you know, it's proof that Henry doesn't like TV shows you hate the Dune show I'm not allowed to say we have to cut that TV shows, you hate the Dune show. I'm not allowed to say, we have to cut that. We do a series of ads for it. We'll have to cut it. We do ads for Marvel movies. Marvel movies, they don't even hear what we say. They have no idea what we say.
Starting point is 00:43:54 We love them. We love them. No, you know what it is about them, I guess it's like, I don't mean to be that butthurt about it, it's just like, I feel like you could probably, like I'm watching our friend, Ryan Kukler. Ha!
Starting point is 00:44:10 I'm watching our friend. Oh, is this how you're referring to him now? Yes, my friend. All right, great. I'm watching him get run over the coals in the trades, all bagging him for his money, the how little, quote unquote, how much money that show was supposed to movie,
Starting point is 00:44:23 was supposed to make sinners and shit. It's killing it! It's an R-rated movie That's number one in the box office two weeks in the row Yeah, dude, but they're comparing it to the Everyone in China is seeing the new Marvel movie money that they have to make these Marvel movies have to make Yes, hundreds of millions almost a billion dollars just to break even and it is Killing us. Yeah, it is killing the entire industry. Well, it's bringing back into independent film No, it's not yet because they're all dogging on the independent films that sort of do well sinners is not an independent film They are you that's how fuck is that?
Starting point is 00:45:02 He muster but that's how shit that's how fucked shit is Eddie. But that's how shit, that's how fucked shit is right now Eddie. That's viewed as a scrappy movie that might just make it. It's a fucking huge tent pole horror summer film you morons. There's two Michael B. Jordans in it. It just gets to a point where it's like how much money are we all supposed to make? Yes. No but that movie is going to fucking, it's killing it. It's already made back its money. No, I love sinners.
Starting point is 00:45:27 I'm just saying that that's kind of what we're up when, that's what the Marvel and superhero movies do, is set up this like truly unmatchable amount of money. Yeah. That everybody has to make. Yeah. And it has to be palatable to any person with half an eyeball.
Starting point is 00:45:43 Yeah. That can arrive to see it. and they're shitting on him Like he didn't make two of the biggest movies ever made. He's just He did one for you guys, yeah He made Black Panther guys and everyone and everyone's trashing the fact that he got this deal where he owns it after 25 years where he owns it after 25 years You're sure he's got the deal everybody it is nothing uncommon everybody's just trying to just trying to hurt this man Yes, they're trying to hurt the man trying to hurt the work, and there's no fucking reason for it all right well I like the movie the faculty
Starting point is 00:46:19 Soundtrack yes, it's got a great soundtrack it is I mean but in talking about Alien movies that are not very good that is definitely one of them, but yeah man I will say if it is on I'll watch it Do you remember they had to push it because it was all about killing the teachers oh? Yes, or you think about teaching mrs. Tingle that I am because it was supposed to be telling is your single and then they changed it teaching mrs. Tingle was the one where they killed the because this is I mean they're aliens so you got to kill these you know What when I had I had to get over my penis to enjoy what under the skin?
Starting point is 00:46:52 I never saw it mmm under the skin when I first saw it. I was just like it's good It's good. Let's do it. It's just boobies in it and then now as an adult I watch it and I realize it's actually quite good. Yes quite haunting Yes, it's actually very very very good. It's like and I want to say it's probably scar Joe's best movie I didn't even know it was an alien film. Yes Started like researching this episode. It's scar Joe's best movie outside of her where she's not in it Yeah, you know, it's a good future space movie But not an alien movie that kind of I've always put in the same genre as this
Starting point is 00:47:26 And I'm probably incorrect. It's melancholia You know melancholia is a cool move. That's a very interesting Dear hunter vibes, you know, and it's sad. It's very sad Yeah, it's very sad, but I like that movie and it's got you know, okay, when's its boobies? Well, no, not Kenny Whistler the other one. Oh Kirsten done Kirsten dunst, but they're sad, but they're sad boobies. Yeah I'm gonna skin sad boobies. Yeah. Yeah, you know, what's also funny too is that as a kid too, like I remember doing that You ever just like okay
Starting point is 00:47:58 Jackie, you know here you ever do the thing where sure here I need everyone to know I am still here where you have to thumb through an extremely sad movie Just to see tits as a little boy. Oh, I mean yes, that was a big part You don't want me to be hearing this but I need you to know I need to bring up astronauts wife because that is definitely A movie that I would go right I knew exactly had to get to the one sex scene in Astronaut's Wife, which was a great fun alien movie. Now we're just looking at Holly Hunter nude. For the piano.
Starting point is 00:48:31 Sad, nude, and the piano. I never saw the piano, I didn't know Holly Hunter got nude. Yeah, but the rest of it's boring. Oh man, she's so beautiful. Yeah, she is. She's really just a classic beautiful woman. She just cry, cry, cries in that movie.
Starting point is 00:48:44 I watched The Firm the other day. Guess what, man? No fucking piano in it either. I'm expecting you. There's no piano in that movie? This is my thing. You call that movie the piano. Are you really going to fucking tell me there isn't one piano in the piano?

Is one of those that doesn't come about because it's the type of movie you don't see as much anymore the blob Oh The 80s blob. Yes is one of I have Dylan I love that movie and the idea of there used to be a lot more movies about just a big thing You know, you know, there was like ants remember them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yes, and there's one about I don't know not ants not ants the film with ants the film and the film which I think is technically the
Starting point is 00:51:19 Stalone Woody Allen movie The last of us just told Woody Allen film that we'll ever get. Yes. That's the last one we'll ever get. I don't think they'll be more. Yeah. Then there are two there's an ants to know to Sylvester Stallone Woody Allen movies. Cause he's in any hall. He's one of the guy that robs them on the train.

He was in Pacific Rim Okay, those man that's second Pacific Rim was so bad, you know, I find them entertaining I like the first one we saw together was a lot of fun. Truly anything that's not some form of IP, sign me up. I just, I'm looking, I'm desperate for new IP. Like give me another time, I don't care.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Bring triple X back. I know no one likes triple X. Whoa. But I'll see more triple X movies. I watched five Final Destination movies in a row at home because I was sick, I watched all the movies in a row. That's great. Did you love them even more as they went on?
Starting point is 00:53:32 They're terrible. Yeah. But what's nice about them is that they're... It's not... I'm not being spoon-fed things that I need to purchase. Honestly, you know what you need to do next? Watch all of the Fast and Furious movies back to back. They are good!
Starting point is 00:53:47 They are very fun. No, there's a bunch of really, really bad ones. Well, Tokyo Trip is bad. There's a couple of ones you can cut out in the middle, but man, it just really, when they talk about, are they aliens, when they come, when they ride in the car from space down back to Earth and still jump out of the car to murder.
Starting point is 00:54:04 They're anything but alien. They're family. They're family. They're family. Um, one that, uh, came up that I forget, Colorado Space. I brought this up. I said it under my breath earlier. I view Colorado Space as an Eldritch horror film.
Starting point is 00:54:19 Now what, now a question though, what would the difference then, because then it's not coming from space because it's coming then essentially like from the earth I don't know. I don't know anything about this movie. Oh Great, I think that you would really enjoy Colorado space. It's a slow burn. It's it is Yeah, it's cool. It's just a fun psychedelic Nick Cage sci-fi movie Yes, it's by Richard Stanley, the guy that did Island of Dr. Moreau. Okay. That was the failed, was considered to be the failed Island of Dr. Moreau.
Starting point is 00:54:51 I still enjoy it. I love that movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also an undiscovered classic of his in the sci-fi genre, hardware, which is actually quite good, and the Dust Devil is, I've seen all of his films for some reason. Really? Dust Devil's really strange.
Starting point is 00:55:08 It's like an erotic horror thriller that he kind of, after the success of Hardware, he was kind of allowed, again, this is one of those things that you still give great deals to filmmakers all the time. He just got this kind of like, all right, now you make, you have dreams desire. And then he made this kind of like, all right, now you make your dreams desire. And then he made this kind of weird wizard desert sex movie and everyone's like,
Starting point is 00:55:30 oh, this is bad. But it's quite, I liked it. Now, how about this? I know this is one that y'all love and we haven't brought it up yet. Maybe, I don't know if it's a sleeper or not, but Bad Taste. Oh, Bad Taste is a part of the Peter Jackson. Oh, yeah, you know Peter Jackson those early movies. They mean a lot to me
Starting point is 00:55:50 They're not good. They're not me, but they're important to watch. Yes, they're not His best work, but they are like dead alive is I loved it dead alive Up and like the the x-rated version of Dead Alive is required watching Oh, yeah, I think Meet the Feebles holds up, but I also haven't seen it in a minute When's the last time you saw it? It's been a minute It's pretty bad It does not quite hold up
Starting point is 00:56:15 But here's the thing though, Bad Taste and Meet the Feebles for me are important movies because I remember seeing them at a time that I didn't know that you could make movies like this. And we were a lot, we laughed, and that was all. In America you couldn't probably. And laughed and just like loved it so much, and it so affected me that while yeah, they're not good movies, they were huge to like opening up my brain into like what you could make.
Starting point is 00:56:42 Yeah. Because to me that's the big deal is that like, what does it mean to you? What do the movies mean to you? I think that that's like what we sort of miss sometimes in the age of, like I think that's also part of why I have to examine my anger. And when I get angry, like you heard me earlier, I got angry.
Starting point is 00:57:00 And then a lot of times what my therapist tells me to do is to stop and think about like where is it coming from? And the anger a lot of times for me comes from a deep sadness. And I think part of times what my therapist tells me to do is to stop and think about like where is it coming from? And the anger a lot of times for me it comes from a deep sadness And I think part of where the sadness comes from sometimes is that when you are making Work on such a level where you're putting out Ten episodes of a series at once and the idea of binge viewing and binge content making and binge like all of this Concept you begin to lose like I guess that's one of my main issues is that With the new influx of all the content is that they all blend together
Starting point is 00:57:30 And then part of me then thinks like these are people each one of these television shows is a year out of those People's lives that you consume in six hours And then you're like next and then I feel like it does get to a point where you're like the movies used to For me these movies meant something like even the bad ones meant something a lot of time The great actors say they prefer television because they really get a hold of the character I understand it to really be a part of the character for a very long time That's if the writing is good. Yes. And Killer Clowns from Outer Space is how we're ending this whole fucking thing,
Starting point is 00:58:06 because it's the best one of all. Yeah, it is a great movie. I really love Killer Clowns. I mean, I totally understand digging into it as an actor, but again, I'm the audience member. I'm not the actor. Yeah, for sure. I'm trying to watch it.
Starting point is 00:58:19 And I get sad, because I feel like a lot of people's work gets overlooked. And I think that people spend a lot of time, and then the work is harshly judged and quickly quickly judged and it's flushed on the toilet Yeah No And it makes me angry because I feel like more people should understand what goes into the stuff that they watch Wow Yeah, and I you know and I have a similar feeling I feel like horror movies and like in sci-fi
Starting point is 00:58:40 Alien movies and all that stuff was really big for me because it like I don't know it kind of like I was an only child you know like I was like I lived in Boca Raton but my family was like the family that went poor trying to live in Boca Raton yeah and so like I wasn't like in with all the rich kids and I was like super fat and so like I went to Catholic school so I was a nerd I didn't have any friends oh yeah you know and so I like two friends and we watched horror movies and we're fucking and that's how like I related to society say like Exactly. I'm like eight to like 14
Starting point is 00:59:09 You know until I got to high school and my fucking came out of my shell They're very important. They really help people more than people think. Oh, yeah You know, it's a lot of people look at it as trash and all that stuff But it's actually like a teach you about society They like they're the first movies were feet for were women and people of color are the leads No sci-fi was a sci-fi means the world to me Yeah because of that because I'll always remember when I first got into reading sci-fi and
Starting point is 00:59:38 Watching these movies was when we moved really from New York to Florida same thing. It was an escape I was alone. And there was something about connecting to something else that felt alien. Yeah. Right, and specifically with Aliens, I think that opening up, especially from a kid's perspective of opening up what could be and showing you,
Starting point is 01:00:01 even in the zany alien comedies that a lot of us grew up on, I feel like it showed us that your current reality isn't the only thing that can exist. And that's a good thing. Like I watched alien movies from being a kid and thought, oh, that's freedom. That's a freedom that we can have, that who knows what could happen.
Starting point is 01:00:24 Think about how free the flying purple people eater monster was. So free. The last bout of freedom that anyone's ever had. Didn't have to wear any clothes. You had that unicorn horn. Stitch? Totally free. Stitch was...
Starting point is 01:00:35 Yes! Was Stitch not a... He's an alien. Alien, oh yeah. Stitch is an alien. He came from outer space. It's the first scene of the movie. I'm gonna admit, never seen it.
