Hi, this is Fiona Duref, and you are listening to The Horror Returns.
As victims, for those of you delight and dread, who fantasize about fear, who glorify, go.
Welcome.
You have found a place where the horror returns.
Listeners beware.
This podcast contains major plot spoilers and the foulest of language.
Join us in celebrating the old and the new, the best, and the worst in horror.
Everybody, welcome back to the horror returns.
I'm Lance, and with me as always is my co-host, Brian.
Phillips got a little league game tonight, and I think he's still recovering from Fright Mare.
But we got a great stand in.
Our number one fan and editor-in-chief, Patrick Lear, what's up, Patrick?
Hey, guys. How's it going?
We're doing good, man. I don't know about Brian.
Get stuck in Alaska during the Frightmare, God damn it.
Yeah, well, he certainly missed him.
Yeah, that sucks, but it's always next year.
That's true.
Well, I know me and Phil are going to do our Frightmare coverage in a special one-off show probably in a week or two.
But Patrick, since Brian couldn't be there, and I guess, unfortunately, most of our listeners, which, if we got to set something up for the future, what do you guys think in here?
Like a meetup or something?
It seemed like the place to do it.
I know Texas isn't super centralized, but it's in Dallas, which is at least on the...
the north side of the state, you know?
Yeah, that sounds pretty cool.
And it's a main thoroughfare too, so, for planes and stuff.
Yeah, and it's right there literally at the airport.
I mean, it can't get much more convenient than that.
So, uh, all right, Pat, give us the rundown, dude.
What did you think?
What were your high points?
What were the low points, if any?
Are you glad?
Um, oh, I'm definitely glad I went.
Um, I mean, for me, it was a lot of things, just getting to hang out with
the whole returns a bunch is always fun.
But I really enjoyed a lot of the stuff.
Just the costumes were pretty cool.
The Jason panel was entertaining.
And then Sunday I went and sat in on the It panel,
and that was kind of cool,
just hearing the kids talk about stuff.
And the little kid that played Georgie kind of stole the show.
Oh, yeah?
He really is a little, I mean, he's like, what, eight, seven or eight?
Yeah, I saw him at his table.
He looked like he was about two feet.
He looked smaller than Chuckie, man.
Yeah.
He loved telling stories.
He liked being in the spotlight.
So it was pretty cool.
It was fun to hear coming and the others.
And so they told some stories about the set and all that stuff.
So it was pretty cool.
And then just, of course, got to meet the Nez, which was pretty awesome.
Oh, yeah.
Shout out to Nez, man.
He was the glue and built us all together.
I think he was the only sober one.
Yeah, yeah.
It may have been.
But no, it was good times.
I mean, it was a lot of stuff.
I mean, I would have liked to have had a little bit stronger guess list, but, you know, I can't.
It's like I told Kevin, you know, you can't judge a con on the first year ago, and you almost have to give it two or three shots because you never know from one year to the next, how they're going to do things.
So I think my biggest disappointment was we didn't get to see a lot of celebrities in the bar and stuff.
You know, I know like last year you got to do that.
And it seemed like they were all, I don't know if they were all in somebody's room doing blow or what.
They weren't out hanging out the bar.
I'm sure they weren't all doing blow.
Something.
Yeah, dude, it was packed.
huh? Yeah. Yeah, it was crazy amount of people there. It was ridiculous.
It was a lot more crowded than
last year. So I will say this, and then
of course anything else I'll cover
when we do our wrap-up with Bill, but
I didn't see anybody at all in the bar, but I had
one brush with fame Saturday morning, Pat. I told you about
that, right? I think you did.
Yeah, I was, so
somebody Friday gave me a cookie.
and I don't know what was in that cookie.
Uh-oh.
But, uh, dude, I slept like 10 hours, man.
I was asleep at 8 o'clock.
And I got up about, I guess I got, well, shit, I got up about 7.
I slept like 11 hours, man.
And, uh, nobody else was up yet.
So I went and hit the gym for, for about 45 minutes.
And, and who was right next to me doing bench presses?
The great Tom Savini sex machine.
He's still keeping it in order, guys.
That was pretty cool.
Real down-to-earth guy, a lot of people talk about he's intimidating and all that.
That's bullshit, man.
We talked for quite a while.
He said they told him there were 18,000 attendees,
but he said it looked like a hell of a lot more than that.
And you know, he's done a lot of cons.
Yeah.
You know, so he definitely knows what he's talking about.
But, yeah, I was real disappointed.
We didn't run it anybody in the bar, man.
Yeah, it was definitely kind of,
week on that end. But I will say
to this, while Lance was
sleeping it off at 7 o'clock at night,
Ness and I kept it going until
about 1.30 to the morning.
So, you guys didn't right.
We were still not representing.
Absolutely.
All right, man. Well, other than that, Pat,
what's your cool of the week, man?
The Copacai series.
Yes. It was a lot of fun.
So, I enjoyed it.
That can't be good.
it was so good
I watched it twice
Are you serious?
Yes
It hit all those
Those nostalgic beats from the old series
Exactly
And I'm about halfway through it
I hadn't watched them all yet
But I'm about five or six episodes in
So
But yeah
It's been a lot of fun
Mm-hmm
Is that your full of the week too, Brian?
I got a couple movies
But yeah it was on my list
let's see
the movies I checked out
downrange
Shuttle exclusive
I've been wanting to see that
yeah yeah yeah
yeah it's pretty good
it's about a sniper
got got people pinned down
on a kind of deserted
road or somewhere in the middle
it's in the middle of nowhere
and right
you know I mean
I don't want to spoil nothing
but you know there was
a decent gore
and my wife don't really get
into movies like that, but she enjoyed it.
So, it's probably saying a lot.
That is saying a lot.
Was it anything like rubber?
I have not seen rubber.
Okay.
But it's funny since we, somebody brought that up because my brother-in-law's girlfriend
had just asked us if we wanted to watch it.
So I think I'll be checking it out here soon.
Cool.
Yeah.
I don't regret it, man.
And I also checked out a primal
rage. Bigfoot movie.
Oh, any good?
It's okay.
I like the look of the
look of Bigfoot, a different look
than what you're usually seen in other
movies, but it was a decent Bigfoot movie.
He wasn't all blurry.
And, yeah,
that's all I checked out.
All right, yeah, my cool of the week,
hands down, guys.
You already love this one.
Anybody ever heard of
of a huge
mega budget
horror release that just came out called Snake
Out of Compton?
I've seen it available.
Have you?
Yeah. I haven't watched it yet, but...
All right. It really, okay, it really
reminded me of those terrible
heavy metal horror movies we watched with the horror
mafia last month. Okay.
Because it's kind of like a little bit of music
interspersed with
with the action scenes.
But, yeah, I don't want to give too much away.
I don't even want to...
There's like a really funny intro that ties into it.
It ties into all these other movies,
and it has a lot...
It has a ton of pop culture references in it.
It's very cleverly written for a shitty B movie.
Special effects are absolutely horrendous,
and that almost kind of adds to the fun of the movie,
so I'm giving nothing away,
because it's a very important plot line
and the ending is just
we'll have you on the edge of your seat
Snake out of Compton.
Check it out, guys.
I'll have to look for it.
All right, Brian, we got any
news going on, man?
Let's see.
FX gave the green light for
what we do in the shadows in order
to 10 episode series.
Well, let's hope they don't
wear out their welcome.
with the jokes.
I don't know if I'm
down for this show, because
it's going to be the American version.
Oh, no.
So I do not think
Tycho Watiti's involved in this.
Well, how could he not be?
I don't know.
You think he could
produce it or something? Yeah, but
I don't know.
It's just, it doesn't feel right.
I would have rather
got that, what was it, the werewolf movie that was going to do as a spinoff?
Yeah, swear wolves.
Yeah.
But we'll see.
Let's see.
Another TV series, a little bit about the Purge series came out.
They said it was going to be 70% purge, 30% flashbacks.
So.
Okay.
We're going to get a little flashback, a little, basically a little telling of what the story is.
and then it's just going to be mostly purging going on.
Okay.
All right.
Look, I'm looking to, hold on,
if we can go back to this,
what we do in the shadow, man.
I'm looking at the,
if I'm looking at the right thing in IMDB,
it shows the cast,
and there's some guy named Matt Berry
that's starring in it, a British actor.
Okay.
It seems like a Jermaine Clement look-alike, man.
Huh.
So, come on.
If you're going to do that,
just put fucking Jermaine Clements in it.
probably couldn't get i don't know like i said this something something doesn't feel right about this
uh no not at all what do you think pet you're gonna be passing on it or checking it uh you know
i'll check out the first episode and see if it's anything i mean i'll give it a chance but uh yeah i
don't know i don't think it'll be anything like the original show um but you know who knows
i mean it's always worth checking at least one episode i'll waste that much time on it yeah
Yeah, I did that with Lost in Space, and I definitely never got past the first episode.
It took me about four or five to tap out of that one.
Oh, you didn't finish it?
No, I haven't finished.
I might go back and finish it at some point, but, you know, it kind of fell off my priority list.
Yeah, I think I stopped about four episodes.
Got it.
Let's see.
Some movie news.
We're getting Rambo 5.
that's been confirmed
Stallone is the writing script
and made direct
Well, why not?
And in this one,
Rambo will be taken on the Mexican cartel.
Okay.
I have no idea why he would be doing that,
but...
Not the tornado.
Yeah, I really enjoyed the last one, so...
Yeah, actually, the last one was pretty good.
Yeah, I enjoyed all of them, man.
Do you think he's going to be teaming up with Benicio del Toro and Cable?
Wow.
That trailer looks...
Sicario looks awesome.
Yeah, it does.
It looks awesome, but it's kind of like...
It just seems like a strange movie to make a sequel to, for some reason.
Well, the real question...
The real question is, is, will it be a Cloverfield sequel?
Sure.
Let's see
John Lithgow has been casted as Judd Crandall
in the Pet Cemetery remake
I can see that
That was Fred Gwynn's character right
Yep
Yeah
Yeah that might not be too bad
And let's see
Our final
A little bit of news here
Kind of slow news week
it's a rumor that Jamie Fox has been offered the role for Spawn.
Yeah, that one seems a little odd.
Maybe if he dresses up as Wanda and does it?
I could go for that.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I mean, I like even some things, but I don't know if this is, I don't know.
It seems just kind of weird now.
Maybe it's one of those where you guys are.
a reserve judgment until you see it.
Yeah, he's really hit or miss for me.
And if we're going off a comic book roles, you know, Electro,
that was a, that was a huge miss.
Yeah, that's true.
He was just a completely wrong casting for that role to begin with.
Right.
Agreed.
And that is the news.
All right.
Well, Pat, you're ready to take that trip with us, man?
Let's do it.
All right, where are we going?
Get down to the trailer part.
Brian, what's our first new trailer to talk about this week?
Going to talk about Farrell, starring Scout Taylor Compton and directed by Mark Young.
What did you guys think?
Quiet Place Part 2, with noise.
This is the first thing I thought of.
Oh, no.
But is it part of the Cloverfield universe?
That's the question.
That's true.
You never know.
You never know that they keep buying up these scripts and then changing them.
Yeah, this didn't really excite me.
I do like Scout Taylor Compton, but...
Sure.
It nothing really caught my eye on this one.
This one's got a May 25th release, so...
Yeah.
I'll probably give it a try.
there's nothing else to watch.
All right.
Is it going to be a theater?
Is it theatrical or?
I think VOD.
VOD.
V and say I won't even have to waste a movie pass on it.
Oh, speaking of movie pass, have you guys heard where they're going to limit it to one movie a week?
I didn't hear that, but that won't bother me too terribly much because I usually watch about one a week anyway.
Yeah.
But I did get selected.
and I think it's because I watched, I watched like six in one week last month,
but I got quote unquote randomly selected to do this new thing where I, after I purchased the ticket,
I have to take a picture of it.
Oh, so did I.
And with the app, which is cool.
I did it today, and it worked just fine.
So still no complaints.
If it goes to one a week, man, when I paid $89 for a full year,
I just don't have a lot of room to complain about it, you know?
I'd rather them do that than quit doing it all together.
Yeah, that makes sense.
I would almost be happier with two a week,
but heck, I haven't even had a chance to get out to one a week sometimes.
Still a little bit of a little.
All right.
All right, our next trailer we're going to talk about is Supergrid,
starring Leo Fafar, Marshall Williams, Natalie Krill, and Jay Riso,
and he is for all you
W.W.E. fans, Christian.
Ah, okay, so this
to me is
I'm thinking this is going to scratch my itch
that I've been missing ever since
Blood Drive went off the air.
Yes.
Go ahead.
No, it looks like, I can't wait.
It looks like a lot of B-movie fun to me.
And I was going to say,
you probably like it
because the director,
Lowell Dean,
he did both the Wolfcott movies.
And I like both the Wolfcott movies.
Yeah,
this one looks super fun.
What'd you think, Patrick?
Yeah,
same way.
I mean,
it looks cheesy,
but it's supposed to be.
So,
I think it'll be entertaining
on that level for sure.
No release date yet,
but this is set to come out this year.
Yeah.
And our...
There for sure.
Yeah.
definitely and I'm hearing this will probably be VOD as well and our final trailer we're
going to talk about is sick for toys.
Sick for toys. I've been hearing a lot about this one.
Yes, starring Camille Montgomery, John Paul, Burkhart, and a person we know, Justin
Xavier, who is also one of the writers.
Along with Jimmy O.
Oh, that's right.
That's right.
Directed by David Del Rio.
What did you guys think?
Pat, what do you think, man?
It looks interesting for sure.
I mean, I'm definitely interested in checking it out.
Not just for those reasons, but because, you know, we know some of the people involved.
So, or sort of, I haven't actually met them, but I'm going to at some point.
So I'm interested in seeing it because, you know, I like supporting the little guy a little bit.
and I think it actually looks pretty entertaining too,
so,
and kind of morbid,
which I like,
so.
Always my hopes.
Yeah,
yeah, this one looks like it is going to get an
October release.
So,
um,
okay.
When we hear more about it,
we'll let you guys know.
Yeah,
it's doing,
doing well on the festival circuit,
man.
They were in,
they were in Dallas while we were.
Unfortunately,
we couldn't get out of DFW.
Oh, okay.
But it did sell out.
I know that it sold out, so that's a good sign.
Yeah, I'm really interested after watching the trailer.
Dude, I was, I was, I'm going to be honest with you, man.
I was very worried when I booted this trailer up because I'm like, oh, shit.
You know, we do know a couple of guys involved in it, you know, pretty close.
And I thought, oh, fuck, what if I don't like it?
Guys, this looks fucking phenomenal, man.
The production quality of at least the trailer.
I mean, it looks like a major release to me.
This didn't really have that indie feel to it.
It looked like a major fucking theatrical release.
Yeah, Lance, do you know if this is getting a release in the theaters or not?
I hope so, man.
I hope so.
But either way, either way, we're all going to check it out.
And I definitely hope that we cover it on the movie.
and I can think of a couple of really good things to put with it.
I just love that fucking sexy chick that's just so fucking sadistic.
Yeah, that's...
Was she having sex with a corpse?
Or the guy that she was torturing or what?
They're at the end.
I don't know, but she really helped sell this trailer for me.
No shit.
The talented chick, man.
She had me wanting to come over to her house for Christmas.
I'll tell you that right now.
All right.
Looks like it is everything, dude.
It looks sick as shit.
It looks like it's fucking with Christmas, which is a holiday that I fucking hate.
And it's just, like I said, the production value looks so much, so much different from what I thought we were going to see.
So, you know, hats off on the trailer, guys.
We're looking forward to seeing the movie.
Wish we could have seen it this weekend.
I'm sure we'll rectify that between now and July for sure.
Yeah.
For sure.
So sick for toys.
October release, and that is our last trailer.
All right. Sounds good. Well, this is the part where our good friend, Phil, usually does listener feedback.
So, of course, since he's not with us here tonight, Patrick, you mind taking over the duties?
Yeah, it looks like you guys get quite a bit today.
So we'll start here regarding the movie Downrange, the Ryan Stevens, for those of you that know him, that's what he likes to go by.
The Ryan Stevens.
Going to give this one a watch after my workout this morning, I give it a six, not too bad.
Thomas Mariani, in the wake of Ash versus Evil Dead series finale,
here's a brief post-mortem for the Ash character and franchise overall.
The article begins after 37 years of fighting the Deadites,
some form or another cult icon Bruce Campbell has announced that the recently aired series finale
of stars Ash versus Evil Dead is his own swan song for the character of Ashley Joanna Ash
Williams. Since 1981's the Evil Dead, Campbell has been leading a one-man crusade as a one-liner
spawning fighter of demon-possessed humans or dead heights in the Evil Dead franchise.
through two sequels, a few video games, and previously mentioned TV series,
Ash has gone through many trials and tribulations over the course of a few decades.
He's one of the more unique horror protagonists out there.
Unlike Slasher, Final Girls like Laurie Strode or John Carpenter's usual Kurt Russell lead macho man.
Ash is more grounded human character, which, I mean, he is struggling.
up coward,
a scared of cat
hiding behind
his smooth stick
and sandsaw hand.
You can find a full article
at marianithomas
dot wordpress.com.
Awesome.
Yeah, it's Thomas Mariani.
He was on our
March Madness show
this year. So,
thanks for joining us, Thomas.
And as far as I know,
they're still running decades
of horror, Brian,
is that you're understanding
the only show
that's on hiatus
for a little bit right now.
is horror news radio?
I believe so.
I know they just,
I don't know if I just downloaded it late.
I know that they just,
on the main show,
they just did the finale for Ash versus Evil Dead, so.
Okay, cool.
And speaking of which,
I think you,
you've got an announcement to make on maybe a retrospective or something.
Yes.
When we,
we are going to be reviewing Deadpool 2 here in a couple weeks,
and we also are going to do Ash versus Evil Dead and our thoughts on the final season as well as the show overall.
Awesome.
So I'm going to definitely take this chance to go back and rewatch all of them from the beginning then.
Oh, absolutely.
Okay, moving on, regarding Demons 2, Kevin Nez says not as good as the first, but still cool.
Joey Colombo says he agreed with Kevin.
it's not bad or sucky, but compared to the original, it's not as badass.
Good description.
Darren Wilson, did Lance just say he hasn't watched Holliston?
Oh man, so many horror icon cameos.
I follow Dee Snyder who plays Adam and Joe's boss Lance Rocket and O'Darius from Guar, Adam's imaginary friend,
into a room at Horror Hound
and it ended up being a table read
with the cast.
Cool.
Got to find a way to watch that.
You guys ever seen it?
No.
I haven't.
I haven't, but I might give it a shot.
Hopefully it's better than Victor Crowley.
Regarding sci-fi,
dropping tremors,
Eric King,
thus leaving more funds
for Bird of Mick 5 and Sharknato 12.
Jesus.
Christy Wokes said that original Trimmers TV show was hilarious.
I don't remember an original Trimmers show.
Do you?
I don't.
I think it was there, but it was pretty brief.
I don't remember watching it, but it seems like I remember vaguely there being something about it.
Yeah, I think it got canceled real quick.
Yeah.
They're just not having much, much luck, are they?
Yeah, they release set photos from the pilot.
It looked like it was going to be good.
It's like, like I was saying in one of my comments about it is maybe it was just too good for sci-fi.
It might have, man.
What I was thinking was maybe they looked at what the cost of the show was going to be.
And, you know, sci-fi doesn't really do too many big budget.
Right.
Except for Battlestar Galactica in The Expans.
Yeah.
I just think, I don't know, maybe Tramor the series was just not,
sci-fi wasn't a right place for it.
So,
following up on some comments we made on the 100th episode,
I said,
congratulations on episode 100.
Oh, thank you.
All right, thanks.
Absolutely.
What a long, strange trip it's been, right?
Art Colley,
congratulations, guys, on the 100th episode.
All right, Art.
Stephen Moblad
says,
Tom Holland is the one
as one of the cast of Venom
and Woody Harrelson is supposed to be
carnage.
That sounds like a terrible cast.
Yeah, the more and more
I hear about this movie, I don't want to watch it.
Oh, please tell me we're not going to watch it for the show.
It sounds like Phillips, like,
hype for this movie.
Oh, fuck.
You know, the
CGI looks decent, but
that's about as far as it goes.
It's like,
I agree.
I don't know how you can do it.
Darren Wilson,
Nosforatu,
is pronounced like
Nosferatu.
Oh, okay.
So, Don and Ellie
finally finished this
off. Again,
congrats on the accomplishment.
Like I said,
It's been fun to hear some part of this journey, and I do truly appreciate the shows we've done.
Some of the previous comments made mention of what I wanted to bring up, the Nosferatu slash Nosferatu thing, like Placet, etc.
But great, great show.
And I agreed with some of the list, but maybe ranking is a different matter, so I'm not too off with our choices.
Again, I'd like to have listen, but in different order.
Overall, Kevin, I truly appreciate the shout-out.
I'm a huge Asian horror fan and love to explore every aspect of the seed
and not just what comes out of the expected places.
So diving deep into the history of the genre, which in some places is going on 100 years of moviemaking, actually,
has such a rich vein of films to explore that it's hard not to want to go down to rabbit hole
and discovered some of these undiscovered gems that lurking deep in many places.
I have a lot of writing around on the subject if you're interested.
I'll be more than happy to link you to some of it,
and it's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to some of the stuff found on those films.
And then regarding the Australian cinema showing,
the hereditary trailer before Peter Rabbit, Samantha Bean.
Well, that's one way to reach a broader.
reach broader audiences.
And, you know, scars some kids.
Well, they've seen the trailer on TV,
but movie trailers tend to be longer
and much more intense and involved
because of the audience that's there.
Obviously, the trailer is going to be geared
for a rated R or heavy PG-13 crowd.
Pretty sure there were some adults
that were taken aback too.
My grandmother would not,
would definitely not enjoy it.
Darren Wilson says,
ha-ha, I was coming to
post a different article about the same thing.
Peter Rabbit.
Yep. And that's the feedback
for this week. So thanks to everyone who reaches out to us. We love your
feedback and ideas. You can always reach us at the horror returns at
gmail.com. And also don't forget, we're still running the contest.
So be sure to give us a five
star rating on iTunes.
Yeah.
Why don't you refresh them what that contest is?
Yeah, Brian.
What are we doing, man?
I'm giving out T-shirts, beer coosies.
Come, give us, rate us, review us on iTunes, five stars, please.
Most preferably.
Yeah.
We still got a mystery person out there that gave us five stars, but didn't leave a name.
Oh, they still haven't came with their name?
No.
Oh.
And it was right after we announced the contest.
So they're fair game.
Well, get that name in so you can get a t-shirt or a beer cozy.
Yeah, and I know we gave out at least five cards this weekend, so that's five new listeners should be right there.
You know what?
I noticed after we back from Frightmare that we picked up at least a couple people that have gone back and started picking up quite a bit of our back catalog.
So we really appreciate that.
I mean, we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you guys.
So, you know, no pressure.
If you want to take a little time and leave a review,
we would love to send you guys something for free.
And if you don't, hey, that's okay too.
You know, as long as you listen and enjoy the show,
that's kind of what we're here for.
So it's all good.
Yep.
So you boys ready to move on to some featured attractions?
Let's do it.
Sounds good to me.
Perfect host.
A lot of people may not have seen this.
it is available on Netflix.
Director was
Nick Tomne, also known
for an upcoming movie called
Yesterday Now.
I have no idea what that would be.
The writers of this were
Nick Tomne along with someone named
Krishna Jones.
The film only had a budget of
$500,000.
The tattoo
on John's hand
contains three Hebrew letters,
which are the initials for Ura,
Riva, Yariva,
which is a Kabbala term that means
absolute certainty
and is supposed to enhance confidence
and belief.
And final piece of trivia
is this was filmed in 17 days.
So, Pat, you're our guest, man.
You want to go first?
Sure, I'll go first.
Are the cops coming to get you or what, man?
Sounds like it, doesn't it?
Must be here for my roommate.
I guess so.
But,
now, this was an interesting movie.
I wasn't sure.
I really kind of expected it to be
horrible just because
that's sometimes what you get with
movies on Netflix, but
I actually enjoyed it.
I thought it was halfway decent.
And I thought David Hyde Pierce,
of course, not that he's ever done a bad job,
but he definitely carried the film.
And it was slightly different than what I expected.
But overall, I enjoyed it.
I think it kept my interest.
So that being said, it wasn't the best movie overall,
but knowing it was only filmed in 17 days,
I was like, wow, because it doesn't look like it was filmed in 17 days.
So I thought it was pretty decent overall.
Brian?
Yeah, now that I'm hearing the trivia about the budget and how many days it took.
And I'm kind of looking at it with a different perspective.
Because when it started, I was just kind of like, oh, shit.
It's going to be one of those super bad low budget movies.
And then the guy from the Lethal Weapon TV series shows up as the main character.
Right.
And I was just like, oh, my gosh.
But then when we actually get into the house and get things going,
it was it was not what i expected to be i thought it was just going to be a typical
you just walked into the wrong house and the guy's going to get his ass kick but no um what
what was what is what is the guy's name uh david hi david yeah he really did carry this movie um
he was fucking weird as shit i mean everything from the i mean you you already knew from that
one scene when he's like let me get you a washcloth and you thought he
He was going to bring it for his foot.
No, he just wanted to clean up the blood off the floor because it was bothering him.
Right.
And I was like, this guy's fucking weird with his weird.
You're bleeding on my floor.
And then you get the weird pictures on the mantle or whatever where he's got his arm around nobody.
Right.
And I'm just like, yeah, you just went into the wrong fucking house.
Right.
And I think he really, he really.
save the movie from me, because I, this
was, this was, I didn't even think
I was going to finish it, but it turned out
to be decent. Okay.
And are, are we spoiling
this at all, or? Yeah.
Full spoiler on this one is a
2010 movie.
The whole thing, when,
when he's out by the trash and the stoats
cut and then he find out it's just makeup.
Like, he just took
the time to, I thought
that was so, I was like, what the
fuck? Okay, I have a question.
Did he kill?
Okay, so did he really kill anybody or?
That's what I was trying to figure out.
You know, because I, it's like, obviously the people in his head are just in his head.
But, you know, that's what I was trying to figure out.
I was like, were these ever real people at one point in time or what?
And, you know, and I have to wonder if maybe one of them was and maybe that's what caused him to go nuts in the first place or something happened.
Yeah, because he brought up the one, the one.
one girl or whatever.
Right.
And he seemed to get really agitated.
But I was really, after the,
he was found in the trash,
I was really confused.
I was like, so did he actually kill anybody
or is he that crazy?
Yeah, I actually had to back it up and watch it again.
I was like, wait a minute, wasn't his throat cut?
Yeah, yeah.
It was just so weird.
I was like, okay, that's different.
And I thought the one scene was
fucking hilarious.
Him fucking the imaginary person
in the bathroom. Oh, yeah.
The table dance
was kind of funny too.
Yeah.
The only thing
I really didn't like, though,
because it made no sense to me, was
how he took the money.
Because I don't know.
It just kind of seemed like how crazy
he was and the way he played the character.
Like, that wasn't a real motivation.
Money wasn't...
I wouldn't think that would have been the first thing on his mind.
right? Yeah, so I don't know. It was kind of weird.
Yeah. I really enjoyed the first
the first 15 minutes or so. I thought that
I really don't care too much for this actor, Claim Crawford, the one that's in.
You said he's in, which TV show now, Brian?
Lethal Weapon. That's right. He's supposed to be the, yeah, he's not.
Let's just say. I would admit, I kind of like that show,
because it really needs to be something else other than lethal weapon.
But he is not Mel Gibson.
Well, I really started disliking him because of a role he played.
And I guess that's showing that he's a pretty decent actor because I really disliked him
because he played a complete fucking ass hat.
He was the brother of a convict that got set free because they did a DNA test,
which proved that he didn't do the murder.
movie TV show called Rectify.
Have you guys ever seen that?
No.
I have not.
He plays the guy's brother and he's just a fucking asshole.
And I haven't seen the other show, but I thought he did a pretty good job there at the beginning where he was, you know, trying to pull off the robbery and then ended up like you guys said in the wrong house.
But yeah, after that, after that to me, once, once David, I know this is going to be.
unpopular, but once
David Hyde Pierce got involved,
to me,
the movie should have been called the perfect
mess.
Because there were more
unnecessary plot twist in this piece of
shit. If they had
just kept it a simple,
you know, yeah, the guy stumbles into the
wrong house and it's a crazy lunatic
that kind of locks them up and
has imaginary friends and stuff like that,
but when they pull out the angle of
being a cop and all that garbage.
I mean, come on, man.
How top heavy is this supposed to get here?
You know what I mean?
I just thought they tried to,
they just tried to cram too many plot twist in there.
And then the one with the girl,
which I understand that and why they did that.
And that was kind of the, you know,
the impetus for him being set up for that robbery job and everything.
And it kind of had, something like that had to be there.
But I don't know, in my opinion,
if they had just kept it
a guy breaking into the wrong house
and just being kind of like
mentally tortured by this lunatic
the whole time, I would have
enjoyed the movie a lot more.
I can see that.
Just my opinion,
you know. But you guys
both liked Hyde Pierce's acting, right?
Most people said he did,
I know I'm way in the minority
on not caring for his character that much in this.
Yeah, I think he just,
he brought the right, for me,
the right amount of crazy.
Right.
Exactly.
Right.
Yeah.
I agree.
I mean, he started out great, like you said with a part with the blood and all that.
But I don't know.
He just went to a little.
When we found out who he really was, that it lost me, man.
It was like, come on, dude.
Yeah.
I kind of agree with you.
The whole cop angle probably could have been left out.
But if he would have played this, like, just a straight, I'm just going to kidnap you
and beat you up.
this would have been like many other movies in this kind of, I guess,
subgenre of horror, this home invasion type.
But like I said, I think the right amount of crazy was just enough.
But I can see where you feel like the cop angle just kind of threw it off.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I almost wonder if they threw the cop angle and they're just so they had some way of tidying up the ending with a nice little bow.
And making the movie an hour and a half?
Instead of...
You're right.
Yeah.
Because it just seemed awful convenient, you know, that all that happens, so...
Seemed that way.
Seemed a little far-fetched to me, but, you know, what are you going to do?
Yeah.
$500,000.
They didn't have that extra $100,000 that I get too much into the story, so...
Yeah.
Fair enough.
And you figure Hyde Pierce probably took half of that, so...
Mm-hmm.
You think? He may have worked for scale just to be in the movie or something, you know?
Yeah, it's hard to tell him.
It's possible.
Maybe Nick or one of these guys is his buddy or something. I don't know.
It'd be.
Yeah, I think this Clean Crawford guy, I'm definitely going to say he's a pretty good actor,
because if he did, you know, make me hate him as much as I did in the one show.
And plus he was kind of a nuanced character.
If you guys ever get a chance, you probably should check out Rectify.
I think it was only like three seasons.
Okay.
I'm not sure where you could find it.
It was on the Sundance Channel.
And I think they showed reruns on AMC.
So it's got to be out there somewhere.
But it was pretty nuanced.
I mean, he started out, you started out really hating him,
and then you kind of found some of his motivations toward the end.
So, yeah, I mean, I guess this really was just kind of like a two-man show, really, at the end of the day, wasn't it?
pretty much
you know
and I would have been happier
if they just kind of kept it that
sort of like a
you know like like a
a bottle
a bottle up you know like they talk about
certain TV shows have like a
bottle episode where everything's contained
in just that one episode and there's no
bleed over and it all
takes place in one area
I think the movie would have worked
better as that but again just you know
just my opinion I think it just went a little
too crazy there
you guys ready you guys ready for scores or anything else you say sure yeah let's move on that
for me i'm going to give this a five and a half
10 i mean it was just a little more good than bad um you know it was watchable um
for the most part i mean it's not stellar but it's good i think it's you know
entertaining enough to watch so five and a half i think is where it fits for me
Yeah, I'm right there with you.
I'm going to give it a five.
It's decent.
It's watchable.
It's, hey, it's on Netflix.
So, check it out.
Yeah, and to that point, I'm going to say there's a shitlet of other stuff also on Netflix.
I give it a three.
And I think I'm being a little bit generous.
I will give it a three.
There were some decent acting.
Like I said, if they had just kept it,
to what it started out as in the first act.
I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more.
But anyway, folks, it's on Netflix.
So, as the guys say, it's free.
If you got Netflix, anyway.
All right, well, Bad Samaritan, directed by Dean Depp...
Oh, shit.
Oh, no.
Dean Devlin.
What other movie have we seen recently for the show, Brian, that he directed?
The amazing.
Geostorm.
Oh, that does not bode well.
That does not bode well.
Writer Brandon Boyce,
also known for
Wicker Park. You guys ever seen that one?
It sounds really familiar.
It's kind of an older
movie. Isn't it like
late 90s or early 2000s? I think Josh
Hartnett is in it? Yeah.
Yeah, I think I remember that.
Kind of one of those, more of a suspense, suspense type movie.
Like somebody's cheating on somebody or something like?
No, I think it's like his girlfriend disappears.
Okay, I'm like that.
And he's trying to find out who did it or something like that
and it has something to do with Wicker Park or something.
I can't remember for sure, but I think that's what the premise of the movie was.
Well, he also wrote the screenplay for a pretty damn good,
Stephen King adaptation called
Apt Pupil. You guys seen that one?
Yeah, with Gander, Gando, whatever
is named, Magneto.
Yeah, he played the Nazi war criminal, right?
Yeah.
That's a pretty good movie.
Very good movie.
So principal photography
on this film began early 2017
in Portland, Oregon. Gee, you couldn't tell from
as many times as they mentioned Oregon in the
movie. I know. Goodness. I was like, we get it.
And this was based on a
2013 script, originally titled No Good
Deed. I think I like Bad Samaritan better.
And I think there is already a movie called No Good Deed. Isn't there? Am I thinking
of it? Isn't it like a Tyler Perry movie or something?
Medea 6 or something like.
Booth 3, maybe?
Oh, gosh. That is my
nightmare. Well, guess what, Brian? Get ready.
If there was, I would have to watch. My youngest
thought I think those movies are hilarious.
Okay, good. So you couldn't blame just me on that one.
Oh, no, she's mad at you. She's still,
she keeps asking me, how could we never did that episode? And I was like,
well, it's too late now. We're into the next year now. So
we got to do something for the
kids, man.
Yeah.
All of our episodes can't be explicit language, right?
You can always re-watch it.
You can always re-watch it Halloween to review it then.
Yeah, Lance, you can re-watch it.
Bill you guys in?
Yeah.
All right, yeah, but we're talking about Bad Samaritan.
So, Pat, our esteemed guest, man, Bad Samaritan.
You checked it out, right?
I did.
I saw it this afternoon.
And I got to say, um,
I wasn't really sure what to expect from this movie because I hadn't really heard much about it, but I enjoyed it.
It was actually fairly entertaining.
It was very story-driven, which I thought was great.
You know, and now I'm not 100% sure, but was the same actor, also the bad guy in the first season of Jessica Jones.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
He was also the 10th Doctor Who.
Yeah. He plays a great villain. I'll give him that. He does crazy real well.
It almost felt like the Purple Man was back, you know, after that lackluster season two of Jessica Jones.
Yeah, David. Go ahead.
I was saying, I've yet to finish that.
David Tennant, he just has a very creepy look to him.
Yeah, for sure. But I enjoyed it. I think it was, I was,
actually pretty
sensible in places
so I really like that
I was like a lot more movie
than what I expected it to be for sure
right
did you enjoy it Brian
for the most part I did
there were at times where I felt
the movie was a little uneven
right because I felt like
at one minute
the movie was going to be super dark
and kind of twisted
and then near the end
I kind of felt like it was a little more lighthearted
kind of action thriller type.
But overall, like the first movie we reviewed,
David Tennant really was the star of this movie
because he just, to me, he just, he looks creepy as fuck.
His weird accent he had in this movie, his American,
I guess that's his American accent was, it was kind of added to the weird
creepiness.
Sure.
Right.
I didn't like the lead guy.
I could take it a deep.
Oh, you didn't like the kid too much.
Yeah.
No, he was kind of generic to me.
Okay.
Well.
And for the most part, I did like the story.
There was at times when we'll get into spoilers, but it was, I don't know,
it was just kind of hard for me to go with some of the things that was happening.
So, but overall, I was surprised.
I went in not really expecting much.
And I got a little bit out of it that I wasn't expecting.
Yeah.
Yeah, I didn't know what to expect.
I really wasn't.
I almost didn't get to see this movie because I have a lot of catch up to do at work since I wasn't there Friday.
And like I said, my daughter's graduating college this upcoming Friday, so I absolutely positively have to leave work early this Friday.
so I get up to my building today and the power is out
you can't get into our office
can't get under the computer or anything
so basically
they said at 10 o'clock
if power's still out we're calling it everybody go home
well 10 o'clock came and
I guess I was going to get to see the movie today
after all as it turns out
so I'm super glad I did guys I really enjoyed
this movie this is not what I was expecting
I thought this was going to be just a
just kind of a
low-key
my little
granddaughter's in here. My wife
brought her in and she's just holding
my hand, so
I'm in
hog heaven right now. How are you doing,
sweetie? A big old smile.
Well, I didn't mean to bother you.
Sorry.
But yeah, this was
a lot of fun at the movie
now. I will say,
this, there were several glaring plot holes. It was definitely not a
perfectly written script in any way form or fiction. And we'll get into a lot of
that in spoilers. Like, for example, if he had something the whole time, why didn't he
use that to show the police early on rather than, you know, use his brother's
crappy computer to enhance it or whatever? Kind of, kind of silly there. And, you know,
just a couple of the things that were motivating him did. I, I'm
with you guys, I thought that
the main character
Dane Dahan would have
done so much better, Pat.
Oh my gosh.
He probably
would have made it horrible.
But, no,
David Tennant absolutely
stole this movie,
man. I have
really enjoyed watching.
I don't think I've seen him in anything
that I haven't enjoyed
watching him in. You guys talked about
how great he was and Jessica Jones. He's been
in several, and I mean
several BBC shows.
This dude is probably one of the hardest
working UK actors
out there.
But when I saw him
in, did you guys check
out the Fright Night remake
that he was in? Yes.
He basically played
Chris Angel.
He was phenomenal
in that movie.
But this guy's a great actor.
Boy, you
talk about he had me believing
that he was, that he
was everything that he was acting
to be in this movie.
I got to kind of wonder
if this guy's not a little bit
out there, really.
I mean, he was just almost too,
almost too believable in this role.
Yeah, he's starting,
he's starting to be like him and
Ben Mendelsohn.
Like, when I hear they're playing a villain,
I get excited
for that role because they,
they really play that role well.
Oh, very much so.
Very much so.
They should have cast him as carnage.
Oh, as anything.
But I will say this.
I was not incredibly excited to see this movie.
And despite the few little plot holes and obvious things that they overlooked,
and why would he do this?
Because this would create this problem or whatever.
man, it was a lot of fun.
I had a really great time watching this movie,
and it was an hour and 50 minutes,
and I swear it felt like it was an hour to me.
It went by that fast.
And I have to say, I was very pleasantly surprised.
You guys ready for scores?
Yeah, I guess so.
Sure, yeah.
It's hard.
The only other thing I will say to those who are going to, you know,
pause it and come back later,
I want our listeners to tell me if they,
also picked up quite a bit of
sort of an
Alfred Hitchcock vibe
in a lot of the scenes
because there were some parts
that really reminded me of like
a rear window
and some other
some other Hitchcock films
so I really
I'm going to have to give this director
another shot I'm going to give my pass
on Geostorm after this one
never thought I'd say that
but all right
scores
scores for me
I'll definitely say it was better than Geostorm.
I'm going to give this a seven.
That's nice.
For me, for me, I enjoyed it.
I mean, there was some pot holes and things like that,
but overall, it was a fun ride.
It was a much better film than what I was expecting going in.
And just like you said,
I mean, David Tennant really stole the show and made it worth watching.
So I think that's really my thoughts on it.
I mean, there's a lot of stuff to talk about spoiler-wise,
but yeah, it was good.
I liked it.
I'm going to go six and a half.
Not quite seven.
I really, really enjoyed David Tennant.
I also did not expect much out of it
and really, really had a lot more fun than I thought I was going to.
There was just some things that I just,
it wasn't working for me, so I'm going to have to go six and a half.
Yeah, definitely an imperfect script.
Definitely not the best or most talented people around Tenet.
But yeah, Tenon alone and the amount of fun that I had watching this movie
causes me to give it, I think maybe my first ever one-quarter score.
I give it 7.25, actually.
Because I have to give it a little bit better than seven,
but I can't justify seven and a half due to some of the silly shit.
But strong 7.25.
So, in other words, we all do recommend the movie.
Yep.
Absolutely.
All right.
Spoiler time?
Yep.
All right.
Who's going first?
This is a motherfucking spoiler alert.
You've been fucking warned.
This is a motherfucking spoiler alert.
You've been fucking warned.
This is a motherfucking spoiler alert.
You've been fucking warned.
Okay.
I just have to point out, I hate when they fucking do this in movies,
how when the killer or whoever is,
basically going to change his look up
to disguise himself.
All this guy did was put a fucking perm in his hair.
Right.
Yeah.
And it drove me fucking crazy.
I get it.
I get it.
Yeah.
And the main, I just, I couldn't, I don't know, he just wasn't working for me.
Everything he was doing to help this girl, I was just like, I don't fucking believe you either.
why is the FBI and everybody
but just like that was another thing
that I thought was kind of
a repeat from other movies there's always
that one FBI agent
that's been working the case for years
oh yeah
right so
those little beats right there just kind of
it was basically
things I've seen in other movies done
you know over and over again
right got a little
far-fetched in spots didn't it
yeah
and for me it was
some of the stuff where you know you were
talking about where it kind of would switch gears
like you know when he when he's in the house
and he runs into like the kill room
and he sees all those knives and stuff
hanging there and all that stuff and all that stuff.
And then it's like magically that's all
gone just like
yeah
yeah come on
at first
at first I thought he had a
I thought he had like a house that was
split in two
and one side was exactly
like the other, but the clean side.
Kind of like amateur, right, Brian?
I mean, that's what I thought at first.
It's like, how the hell did he do it?
I mean, you know, there's no way he could have had all that.
Like, everything just all of a sudden spotless, you know.
Yeah.
It just seemed like it was like not near enough time had passed for that to have happened.
Yeah, that's that tone change I was talking about because you see his little secret
kill room and he's got fucking chainsaws and all kinds of stuff in there.
Right.
And then later...
As I said, they never really touch upon any of that.
They never, other than you see it, that's it.
Yeah.
And then...
And then you get the scene right after that where the cops there,
and he notices that one of his tools is missing and something's out of place,
and he looks super agitated, that shit's out of place.
Right.
And then later we get a scene of the main guy driving his Maserati out of an exploding house,
and I'm like, are we...
Okay, we're a fucking action movie now.
It just was kind of just all over the place.
A little uneven.
A little uneven, huh?
Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
I just wanted it to be super dark.
I mean, the movie starts with him as a kid killing fucking horses.
It had plenty of fucking harness in it, Brian.
I mean, he's whipping and shooting a horse.
I'm like, okay, this is where we're going.
Okay.
And then at the end, I thought at the end, the fight scene was a,
little ridiculous.
Because that guy should have been
fucking dead.
The main actor.
Oh, my God.
David, he beat him.
Yeah, repeatedly.
He did the department do a job on him, huh?
He beat him in the head repeatedly
with that shovel.
And then he just has a swollen eye.
I'm like, uh, I mean, I get it for the movie.
He, somebody,
I did like the girl had to basically save him, though.
Yeah.
Because my theater kind of cheered
with the scene where she,
was like, she hit him with the shovel, and then she was like, that's how you fucking save somebody.
Right.
Oh, I love that.
I love that line.
I did enjoy that.
Yeah, and they did kind of leave some of the plot lines open, like the whole him and his girlfriend.
That never really got resolved.
Oh, yeah.
I wish they'd resolved that.
They, yeah, so they did leave some holes.
There wasn't an after-credit scene, was there, that I missed?
No.
No.
Okay.
I got up and left.
So we don't know.
But David Tennett was, at times, he was.
brutal like you brought up
the girlfriend, he beat the shit out of her.
Yeah. Yeah.
And that kind of, I'm not going to lie,
it kind of made me jump when he first
popped out of nowhere and grabbed her.
Absolutely.
And that scene when he's calling in to the restaurant
owner telling him about how his
house got robbed and
I thought he was brilliant and he had to see his
face and how he was just all flipping out over
the phone. I just thought
that little dialogue was pretty great
because he sounded convincing.
like, you know,
like he was some crazy homeowner guy
freaking out over his house being robbed.
Yeah, I'm definitely with Brian on the Maserati thing.
It's like if he's so just so that everything must be in its place,
he never would have left that there for that kid to drive to drive on the man.
Right.
You know.
Yeah, and he had all that tech stuff.
They never really explained any of like, you know.
Yeah, he had like,
Like spy gadgets and stuff.
Right.
And that would have been the one thing that I know it was already an hour and 50 minutes,
but it would have been nice to have seen a little bit of character development on his end,
you know, about who he was or maybe some background on him a little bit.
But, you know, understandably, I know they, you know,
where they went with the movie and stuff.
But I think you could have probably cut out some of the action sequences,
as Brian puts it, maybe give us a little more character.
references to this guy or something said.
Yeah, and this might sound weird, but he was basically breaking these people, like horses.
I kind of felt like he didn't, maybe he should have treated him more like animals than, I don't know.
They started to become like his little slave servants, kind of, just be obedient.
We didn't see, we didn't really see a whole lot of him doing any of that.
Yeah.
You know, other than her a few times.
but we never see a whole lot of him being, you know, doing anything other than, you know, doing like, you know, get in a cage or whatever.
He didn't see him doing anything really severe beating him or mistreating him other than those things, you know?
Yeah, because I thought it was going to get rid, because if you look at the background, you see, like, you know, a horse brush and I thought he was going to, like, brush her hair like she was a horse and just, you know, super weird stuff.
Well, and all the, all the.
Brian. You're right.
All the bodies that were in the pit when she's trying to get out.
And we didn't get any kind of anything, you know, on how, you know, those people probably had to die some sort of horrible death and we never saw anything.
Yeah.
I mean, in its defense, guys, it was, it was already an hour and 50 minutes.
It was 20 minutes longer than a typical horror movie anyway, you know?
Yeah, they could have did some, I mean, maybe a scene with the FBI agent.
explaining something that she, you know, because I don't know, just, again, going back to
like the little tracking device, that is some high-tech stuff that he just has a case that he
just pulls out and he's got passports and IDs. I mean, I know he's a trust fund guy.
Sure.
But it just kind of seemed like he was something else.
Yeah.
In the way, there was a lot missing.
I kept expecting a lot more to happen too, just like you guys.
yeah
it was definitely
I mean he
definitely made the movie
I mean
potholes aside
and everything
it was still
a good movie
and just
but I agree with Brian
on some of those things
it would have been nice to
I think they could
have just tweaked a little
a couple
all it would have taken
was an added scene
here and there
nothing you know
too extensive
you could have added
maybe five minutes
worth of film time
and probably gotten
a lot of that stuff
explained you know
yeah
I'm looking on Wikipedia.
Apparently, his character is supposed to be a billionaire.
Yeah?
Yeah, he said that at one point in the movie.
He said, you have no idea how much money I have.
And the FBI agents were talking about, well, you know, he was a billionaire baby,
trust fund baby.
Okay, I missed that part.
So when the kid said, you're not going to get away with this or something like that
toward the end, he said, you have no idea how much money I have, you know.
So it also had some pretty neat little things to say about class struggle and stuff like that, too.
Right.
That was a little clever.
But yeah, I mean, they could have, I kept wanting more, you know.
I kept wanting more.
I wanted more of his backstory.
And like you guys were saying, when he opened the drawer and the passport and all was in there, it's like, are we going to see he's like a super super spy or something like that or what, you know?
He's got an escape plan there ready for any eventuality, you know?
Yeah. Right, definitely. I mean, he was definitely prepared. I mean, that little cabin was quite the little bunker he had built up.
No doubt. No doubt. All right. So we probably said enough about this one you guys think, right?
Yeah, I think so. I think so.
Yeah, so I would say my final thoughts on this one is pleasantly surprised. What would you guys say?
Absolutely. Not a lot of, I guess,
promotion for this movie.
Not at all.
Maybe that justice,
because you just kind of went in
not knowing what to expect.
Right.
David Ten, it's awesome.
How are you going to compete against
second week of the Avengers or whatever, right?
Yep.
Fastest movie to gross a billion dollars.
Ever, huh?
Yep, and I think it's already
at 1.3 billion already.
Wow.
Yep.
All right.
We'll make this kind of a short one, and, you know, we're certainly going to be back next week.
And either between now and then or just after that, we'll have a special episode.
We still need to do our Walking Dead retrospective, and we still need to do all of our Frightmare coverage.
So there's plenty of stuff coming.
We are trying to keep these shows.
We were talking about this before we recorded.
We are trying to keep them all at least under an hour and a half per show.
and sometimes we're going to try to go with just like an hour.
But don't worry, because we'll be bringing you guys some more bonus episodes
as we always have and stuff like that.
Yeah, I think definitely some more like TV show season wrap-ups and stuff like that.
Oh, absolutely.
Man, that's a great idea because a lot of the TV shows out are better than several of the movies
that we've been watching lately, wouldn't you say?
Yep.
And I'm all caught up with Walking Dead and me and the whole.
wife are starting
Fear of the Walking Dead now, so we'll
be caught up with that here soon.
Well, you know what? There's a lot of haters out
there, but I'm still enjoying
both series, so
hey, if you're watching it and you're enjoying it,
I mean, my God, dude,
if think about it, if 12 years
ago somebody had told you, hey, there's going to
be two zombie TV shows, regular
TV shows on,
I would have been pissing my pants
with excitement, you know?
There's actually three.
I don't count that.
Three or four.
C nation.
And don't forget I zombie.
Oh.
I kind of like that one.
Yeah.
A lot of people tell me it's okay.
Give it a try.
It's different.
It's different.
Right.
Well, Pat, thanks for joining this dude and filling in while Phillips kids are over there
hitting inside the park home runs all night.
Anything else you want to leave?
leave us on, dude, before we
wrap it up?
Well, I just wanted to say, thanks for having me
on the show. It was
been involved in Crazy
weekend. Brian, we hope to catch
you next year.
Definitely.
But other than
that, I just want to say
thanks again for having
me. Thanks for coming on.
Yeah, hope you're able to get back next
week so you can read the feedback.
Yeah. I'm sure
I'm sure we'll have more again.
I actually just had a couple of things pop up in Podbean that we just didn't have time to read tonight.
So I guess we got a couple of new listeners.
So I do see some new comments on here.
Excellent.
And we'll probably have a review from Samantha Bean about the perfect host.
Nice.
Cool.
Maybe she'll like you better than I did.
All right.
Well, guys, be sure to, or as always, we want to thank you all for listening to another episode of The Horror Returns.
You guys know we want to hear your feedback.
You can reach us at the Horror Returns at Gmail or leave an iTunes review.
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Podbean, probably start looking at some new ways to reach out too because social media is changing every day.
We definitely learned that at Frightmare because everyone that we talked to, why did you answer us on Facebook?
We wanted to try to get an interview set up.
Facebook,
well, you should have fucking Twittered me, man.
So we may have some interviews coming up yet, guys.
All right.
Frightmare.
And then don't forget, we've got,
we'll be going to Comic Paloosa in three weeks as well,
as we always do.
So next week, it's going to be the highly anticipated movie Revenge,
which I believe, Brian, is a Shudder original.
Yeah, Shudder exclusive.
Cool.
And then we're going to do I spit on your grave, and we haven't decided yet if it's going to be the original or the remake or both.
But definitely female empowerment week next week.
And other than that, Pat, until the horror returns again, good night.
