James victims, for those of you who delight and dread, who fantasize about fear, who glorify goal, welcome. You have found the place where the horror returns. Listeners beware. This podcast contains major plot spoilers in the foulest of land. Join us in celebrating the old and the new, the best, and the worst in horror. Welcome back one and all to The Horror Returns. I'm Lance.

With me as always, my co-host Brian, Phillip, and Kevin. What's up, guys? What's up? It's happening. And tonight, I guess the time chicken sort of worked, because we got one half of Hail Me here. We're waiting for Danny. God willing, we're going to find him.

He's caught somewhere in a time loop. But at least we got Ricky Morgan with us, man. What's up, Ricky? Yeah, man. It's for those things because War Rocket Gajax is a big ship. And right now, Danny's trying to land it so we can do this show. But yeah, man, it's cool. It's always awesome hang out with you guys.

Yeah, did you bring the Nyborg? No. All right. That's probably Danny's problem, man. He's probably been snorting a little too much of that Nyborg, man. Very possible. All right. Addictive.

Very addictive. So, well, Rookie, we met you from Helming Power Hour, but what else do you have going on, man? Well, actually, I'm retired. So we hear. Fill us in. Yeah. Yeah, you know, it's just. I don't know, man.

Hit the big 5-0, and you start saying, you know, I'm getting a little old. And I don't know. I just feel like, it's kind of like being an artist, right? You feel like, well, I have nothing else left to offer. Okay. The artist normally known as, or what? Yeah, that's pretty much it. Yeah.

Okay. You know, I've closed the door on a few shows. Shortbus cinema is still going. That's going to continue going. Johnny and Joseph Henson's going to keep that going. He's from the hysteria continues. And so they're going to keep that show going. All my other stuff I've dropped.

Hell mean, we haven't necessarily just closed the door on because you never know. Because, you know, the whole thing started with Helming because Danny and I are just, you know, brothers, basically. So you never want to close the door on that. Never know if we'll do anything else again. But for the most part, I've kind of hung up in my podcast and shoes. but, you know, we always think the world of you guys. So any time you guys holler for us, just come on, I'm all for it. Well, nice.

God willing, God willing, we're going to be able to get Danny in here a little bit. Man, we had some Skype issues, but I'm sure we'll work through it. So Danny's on standby. God damn it. I hope he makes it on. Nez, what's up with you this week, man? You get your shot? I know you got your first one.

Yeah, next month on the 14th, I get the second one. So, but other than that, just work, living, and recording one I can. So just recorded a little quick one for Anchor this morning with Brother Taylor. So, well, that's up right now on our anchor feed. But other than that, hopefully do a regular episode later on with the ZC. for East Society. Nice. Philip, your

wife got the needle too, right? She did. She got her first shot. I will be there to kill you all when you turn into zombies, just saying. I hope so. You've got to have somebody there.

Yeah, no, other than that, yeah, I mean, she threw away some pretty ranked beans and coffee earlier today, so it smells like Juan Valdez took a giant shit in my living room. Ouch. Well, Brian, you guys are kind of lagging behind,

oh, what state is it that's ahead of you guys? Y'all are in second place now, as far as percentage of the population vaccinated. Have you gotten your shot? Just trying to line up to schedule with when they're doing it with when I have time off from work. So it'll happen. All right.

Well, Ricky? I think you know how our show works, man. We start out with something we like to call Cool of the Week. It can be the coolest movie you've seen that we're not going to talk about tonight. It can be a book, a TV show, a video game, whatever, man. What's your cool of the week? Yeah, you know, I caught this movie the other day. I was just kind of just skimming through, and I didn't catch the beginning of it.

But it caught me and dropped me in, and I was with it for the rest of the time. I don't really know what it was, but it's about this guy. He's a lawman, him and his son. And they're chasing some. No, no, but they're chasing some guys. And one of the officers stops and he wants a Diablo sandwich and a Dr. Pepper. And I don't know, man. That's my kind of guy.

And he's chasing two vigilantes, but he only knows that there's one, right? And it turns out he's chasing a semi-truck and some guy driving a Trans Am. And I don't know the name of it, but it was really good. Was this written by Stephen King in the mid-80s? This is called Cocaine Blues or what? All I know is Big Idiot and Lena Aides apparently hired these guys. So I'm not, maybe I can fill me in on this movie because I want to find out who made this and want to check it out sometime. I know the guy driving the car, mustache.

Brian, you got any ideas? They have a truckload of beer or an elephant? Both. Oh, shit. Smokey and the jumbo, maybe? That's an old hell of a mean joke. We used to do what did you watch in every episode for a long time. I've talked about smoking in a bad news.

I was trying to break free a stupid. Actually, you know what? You just made me think about something when you said, what did you watch? Philip, dude, I think we're fucked, man. We were supposed to go see shit. Run to the hills. What's the band?

Arm Maiden. Iron Maiden. They're not going to come to the woodlands this year now, Phil. Ah, son of me. Yep. We lost out, man. I will. I've seen him a couple times.

Yeah. I can stand to see him a few more. times. What's that, Rick? I've seen them a few times, too, so. Great band. One of my favorites. One of the best.

Yeah. All right, Nez, what's your cool of the week, man? Um, probably Disney Plus, uh, the Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Oh, yeah? That first episode was, eh, it was all right. But this second episode, I'm like,

all right, I see what you guys are doing. So, um, It's pulling me in. Nice. It's... We're getting somewhere. It's not the greatest yet, but... I like what's happening now, because that first one

it started off action, and then it just talk, talk, talk. Yeah. So I'm like, yeah, okay. But this one... You have to admit the action scenes in both of them so far have been really, really good action sequences. I would agree.

Yeah. I would agree. I want just more action from beginning to end, each episode. Uh, not, not really feeling, uh, snake pliskin's son,

uh, Wyatt. Yeah. I'm not feeling him yet, but I'm like, all right, we'll see, uh,

we'll see where it goes. Isn't it a shame that poor kid is totally going bald? Uh, and his dad has got the most wonderful hair ever. Right. My wife was going,

who is this guy? He's ugly, um, that's Kurt and Goldie son she's like what it's like he got all the worst parts I don't know but I don't know

I'm hoping he does something good oh yeah well he's got a different fate out of all this I mean if you if you know the Marvel stuff enough so he will be in the bitch long

yeah it's water alert I was going to say by the way uh Nias pretty much is the cool of the week any week so there you go

always That's saying a lot, man. Thanks. So I finally watched the possessor. Ah, it's about time, man. It was pretty cool, man. I think maybe I expected it a little more. It was slow, but...

Exactly. Right? Yeah. I'm entertaining enough. My real cool week, though, is the funniest thing I've watched in a long fucking time. It's called... You there, Danny?

I'm here. Here. Hey! I'm sorry about that, y'all. Nah, we're good. We're good. Now I'm interrupting. All right, whatever you're talking about, I'll just catch up. Go ahead. But is everybody here? That's the question. Yeah. It was a good lead-up. So, my cool of the week, right? One of the funniest things I've watched it a long time. It's called Bad Trip. It's on Netflix. Oh, yes. I've seen that.

Eric Andre, Lil'L Ray, and, uh, what? What's her name? God damn it. Tiffany. Tiffany. Holy fuck, dude. I was crying so hard. This movie was fucking hilarious.

It's like Jay and Silent Bob, but they filmed it around a bunch of people that didn't know that it was happening. Uh-huh. Kind of like Jackass a little bit, right? Yeah, but like they actually had the story going. It's like they did. They just filmed the movie that was stupid. around people who didn't know that they were filming. And so these, you know, I'm, you know, I guess it is sort of in the same vein as

Bad Grandpa and Jackass and stuff like that. It's a prank show. But it's more of a movie. And then the people in the background are like, what in the fuck just happened? There's some very, very, very, very raunchy scenes that are hilarious. Spoiler alert, I'll give one away. Lil Ray and Eric Andre get their dicks trapped in a Chinese finger trap. And so they are running through a restaurant.

They have to go to a Chinese restaurant because, you know, Chinese finger trap. I love it. And they break apart with chopsticks. It's great. Oh, yeah, yie. Oh, man. Well, we got Danny Bennett with us. What's up, Danny?

Hey. Now it's time for me to clear my throat. I appreciate you all. impatient with me there. I managed to get my old sky back somehow, the help of my illustrious companion Lois in the other room. She helped me to get back on here and you guys owe her if you do enjoy my conversation. And if you don't, well, then don't blame her. It's all on me. Fair enough. It's all good, man. So what's your cool of the week, Danny? What's the coolest movie, TV, show, book, video game, orgasm, whatever.

Well, you know, I've been watching, there's a, there's a, there's a guy who does videos on, on YouTube that, uh, that are called a crime pays, but botany doesn't. He like goes out, he goes out in the, uh, the wild, and he's been in Texas, actually, lately. And, uh, dude just knows everything about plants. And he'll be like, look at this thing right here. He talks like this. He's just, look at this.

Uh, I got these, these, it's got a second statement that comes out right now. And he just, he talks like, like, uh, like a research scientist, but he's just this dude on the side of the road talking with a with a Bronx accent or something. And also in Texas. He travels around. I'd recommend it. It's really entertaining, even if you know nothing about plants. And then, of course, last night, the Suicide Squad 2 trailer dropped. So that was pretty awesome. Oh, I haven't seen it. Is it pretty good? It looks pretty good. It looks fantastic. I'm excited about it. I think I've seen it.

It's like, hey, I think I've seen this before. It was called Gardens of the Galaxy. Hey. I mean, James just even doing it. So, I mean, it's really what it looks like. Yeah. They were even playing the same music, huh? They were playing dirty work.

Yeah. Well, shit, man. Take what works and run with it, right? Right. No shit. It's all right. That's how Hollywood it is. Right.

Try and do something new is just a mistake. All right. What's up with wrestling, Nez? I know you're going to get there, so I'm trying to beat you to the punch. I'm behind. Last thing I watched. Before that, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, welcome to another episode of the wrestling returns. Brian, what did you think of Fast Lane?

It was boring Worst pay-per-view ever Not looking forward to WrestleMania There's no build-up Ouch Yeah it's just Soinks

Stuff we see every week That's not what I'm going out of you guys man It's a bunch of what can we put together The week or a couple weeks before WrestleMania And just hope people are excited about it And they're, I don't even know.

What stadium is it going to be in? Is it a college or is it the Bucks Buccaneers Stadium? I don't think they're going that big. Is Tom Brady going to wrestle? He might as well, man. That would be something. That's my kind of wrestling. They got bad bunny in there, so he might as well.

Oh, come on. I might as well throw him in there, too. I was hoping Gronk would come back, but I don't know. He should get that. that 24-7 belt back. But he's horrible. But he was badass. And what was that movie we did, Brian?

Oh, boss level. Yeah, but he was only over like two seconds. I want to see that. Actually, I haven't listened to y'all talk about it yet because I don't want any spoilers. Yeah, I don't think we did spoil it. Yeah, I think we went spoiler-free on that one. It was a short one. So, I mean, just what we saw in the trailer is pretty much what we talked about.

You guys know Eddie's going to watch it Because it's got Half the people from Kingdom in it, right? Oh, yeah. I don't remember. But yeah, wrestling, it's... Of course, I'm going to watch WrestleMania. I'm not big on the two nights deal,

but... All right, man. It's cool that there's going to be fans there this year. So hopefully, um... Next year we get it under control and there'll be more fans because I,

really want to go to a live event. I haven't been to anything, really. But for all you indie wrestlers that are listening, I see you guys out there doing it still. You're all being safe. So, man, right on. Thank you so much to all you guys. Shout out to Kyle Hawk and Desi.

You guys rock, Aero Club all the way. And, yeah, we're just waiting for WrestleMania because the road to WrestleMania isn't, it's a bumpy one. A lot of... A lot of you don't know yet. But I don't know. I'm still going to watch. Hopefully, at least two or three matches with either Saturday or Sunday will be good.

But other than that, man, nothing else. I'm way behind on AEW. So, but, yeah, we'll see. We'll see what happens. I'm sure the Edge is going to win. He'll beat up my man, Roman Rains. But we'll see. Is he still around?

How the fuck old is he? Oh, Edge? He came back. Yeah, he came back. He won the Royal Rumble. Came back. Yeah. Him and Christian.

Well, Christian got thrown out. He won the Royal Rumble. Wow. I had no idea. Yeah, he was out for a while. He came back last year. That was his at the Royal Rumble before the world fell apart. He came back.

Right. And Houston. And then we did wrestle. Though then the World fell apart. He did WrestleMania, which was garbage. And then he got hurt. And then he came back and he won the World Rumble this year. So he's got his title match.

So hopefully he'll walk away with the belt. And I have a feeling that my girl, Sasha Banks, is going to lose her belt too. But she's trash. No, she ain't. She's hell of fine. She's, I don't have her music. Being fine doesn't win championships. She's hellified.

It does. WWE. I see Bianca Bellar leaving WrestleMania with the belt So that'll be good for her Because they're really pushing her hard But other than that Other than that

That's about it All right Who still has to go I'll go I am watched nothing new I just rewatch a bunch of movies Lance Pet Cemetery Remakes still

sucks. Wait a minute. Which one did you see? I watched Pet Cemetery 2 and it just lets me know. The remake is awesome. That's the way a remake should be done. Clancy Brown alone

in Pet Cemetery 2 is better than that entire remake. I'm not going to argue with you on Clancy Brown. Nobody should. Ricky, am I looking at your drum? It looks like it. We're looking at the drum kit, man.

Oh, that's one. That's one of them. My other sits on this side. Okay. All right. I'm going to close it out. My cool of the week is also my not-so-cool of the week, and that's a servant.

As usual, M-night going totally off the rails. And I ain't going to say anything else about it. You've got to see it to believe it. Next. I'm a lama ding-dong. I had to throw it in there. Please come back to us M-Knight. Give us the M-night that we had when you first did, like, the six-cents.

Don't give us the fucking M-night off-the-rails, crazy, silly shit like you are now. That's it. Anyway. Does he direct it, or does he just write it? Well, he's the showrunner, so I think he writes a lot of the scripts. But, man. His track record for the whole time has been pretty hit or miss. Very hit or miss.

mess, very hit or mess. Give us the happening part two. All right, Brian. Headlines? Yeah, we're going to start with TV. Ari Aster just signed a two-year first look TV deal with A24. So we're going to be getting some

TV shows from Ari Aster. Danny, what do you think about that, man? Ari Aster? Well, I mean, you know, I don't like to see stuff going A24 because I got nothing that streams their stuff, you know, and I'm not going out of my way for a lot of new content nowadays. So if it's not on one of the multiple platforms that I'm streaming, I'm just going to wait until it becomes, you know, like, I don't know, public domain. And I can get it for free at the library or something. Right. I think this is going to be on Netflix or something, though, isn't it, Brian?

It doesn't say It's just It's just the first look deal So Right I thought I thought A24 was Was Apple TV

Oh no It's a Movie studio Okay I mean I think Maybe I've seen That they did a lot of stuff For Apple TV

And I made that connection But yeah Right Does he just Does he just have the two movies Ereditary and MidSomar That's what I've seen There's got another one

He has some shorts, right? He's got another one coming with Walking Phoenix. Oh, yeah, the really depressing sounding movie, right? Yeah. Well, it's pretty much a Phoenix in it. Yeah, isn't it called like Suicide Street,

Ricky, or something like that? I mean, that's, that's all he makes is depressing stuff. Right. Yeah, that's a sure, you know. I'm still really up in the air about it myself. I think, I appreciate, I think he's got a great eye.

I think he's a genius, man You know, some stuff I see I'm like blown away by But then I'm like, wait a minute I've already seen the wicker man I've already seen I've already seen I mean

I appreciate what he's doing And he's introducing a new generation To these kind of stories Yeah I was totally Heditary till the very end I was like Oh no

I lost you huh I love the very That's a great fucking movie Yeah I love the end too man Hereditary I like that one better than Midsonoff Otherwise otherwise known as

here, hold my razor blade for a second, right? Well, it's just the fact of the ending of it is that Rosemary's baby type ending thing where,

oh, you're the one all along. I'm like, yeah, okay, I'll buy. Same thing, the same thing they did

with the Suspiri remake too, right? It's almost the same ending. She actually, except she actually uses it. See, see, I love that one too,

man. I thought it was good. I thought was good. I don't know. I'm at that age where I'm just not blown away anymore because I think I've just seen it all. Gotcha. Understood.

But I do think he has a really neat eye, and I think his production is fantastic. Do you think you've seen it all? Watch Bad Trip. Moving over to American Horror Story, the new season's called Double Feature, and Cindy Crawford's daughter, Kaya Gerber, has joined the cast.

Holy crap. How old is Cindy Crawford's daughter? She is in her 20s, and she is also a supermodel. Interesting. Everybody feels super old now? Yeah. Yeah.

There for a minute, I thought you said it was called double-fisted, but okay. Oh, no. That's so many different. Hey, she's, so young and I mean she makes everybody feel so old even Kurt Russell's son feels old

right her Russell son looks old exactly something we already knew was going to happen but it's official Fiona Deroff is officially returning for Don Mancini's Chucky series

oh yeah we knew that three years ago when we talked to her she's cool as shit by the way let's see Evan Peters is set to play Jeffrey Dahmer and Ryan Murphy's Netflix film Monster. I love it. It works.

We'll watch it. You didn't like the Hawkeye version? Did you guys see that one? I've seen it. I've seen it. It's not too bad. I was all right until the anti-freeze got poured into that guy's head. And I was like, oh.

You tapped out. No, I finished it. My name is Dahmer? No, I think it was just called Dommer. Oh, okay. See, I didn't see that. Remember my friend, Dahmer or whatever? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was a good. Yeah, that was pretty good, too. Okay. So what's the wrong one? The one I saw was Domer than a box of rocks. That's the one I saw.

And that was the guy that looked like Evan Peters, whoever the fuck he is. He was in Sabrina, I think. Quicksilver? Yeah. Is it? Is it him? Evan Peters? Yeah. From the X-Men, quicksilver. Yeah.

The Resident Evil reboot gets an official title. Resident Evil, welcome to Raccoon City, and it will be based off of the first two games. Who's in it? Huh. A bunch of people I've never heard of.

Well, that bodes well. No, they made it clear the movie has nothing to do with the Milo Jovovich movies not one bit. Interesting. Brian, can you hear me? I can hear you. All right, there we go. My, uh, Mike came out there for a minute.

Oh. Yeah, I, uh, Milojovich was probably the only reason those movies were successful in the first place. I'm just sitting here going, why? Why even say, you know what I mean? Uh-huh. To read it.

Yeah. well yeah I'm looking at the cast the only one I recognize is uh Neil McDonough or whatever um

I think that's him huh yeah I've seen him in a bunch of things he was in uh that first Captain America movie and uh but yeah they're going more with the game because you got Claire

and Jill and Albert and all these other guys and Chris Redfield I remember all those in the first two games. Yeah, good games. So, yeah, I like the first two. The third one was okay, but then once

PS2 stepped in and codename Veronica and all these other ones, I kind of tapped out because it was just repetitive, same shit. To have Claire in the other Resident Evil movies? I think she appeared in

I can't... What was the girl with the big teeth? What was it? In the movies? The big tits? Well, yeah, I guess, Lance. Oh, that's Team, Tomb Raider. Allie Larder.

Oh, honestly, big T. Okay. Oh, heroes. Yeah. I think she lasted, uh, was it the third one? I think it was the third one to the, to the end. Much girl Michelle Rodriguez.

She's not in this one. Oh, she's too good. She's above all that. Yeah, she's got fast and furious movies to make. Right, yeah. Money just pouring in, right? It's an ATM machine, basically. Fast and furious money.

Movies where she's a guy. I still haven't watched that one. Oh, yeah. The assignment? I'm going to pass on that one. That one was rough, man. Once a camera pan down, you've seen her and hang in with all her glory, I was like, well, what hell's going on?

And the fuck is happening right now. it's a movie called The Assignment. She was a man. Okay. I don't know. She took down some bad guy and they knocked her out. And when she woke up, she was a girl. He was a girl.

Yes. Sigourney Weaver's in that. We will take the word for it. The surgeon that did the surgery while she was unconscious or whatever. Yeah. Instead of just killing him, they just turn her, him. to her. I think it's on to me. So, yes.

So instead of face off, it's just wang off, right? That too. Did they switch it with somebody else? And then they have to fight each other. Oh, no. I don't want to hear that. Moving on.

I liked it. George Waltz is bigger than mine. And lastly, Spiral is what is it? from the Book of Saw is moving up from, I believe, May 21st to May 14th

in theaters. Okay. Well, we shall see. Speaking of theaters, is you guys going to brave it for Godzilla? Yes, I actually, I'm braving it. I'm going back to the theater this week for three movies, man. So I should be... I think it's supposed to be out right now.

I'm not braving anything I can get for free right now. Exactly. I've been going to the interview. for the past six months. I don't know what the problem is. Oh, I'm going to go in this week for for nobody. I'm going to go in for chaos walking and then I'm going to go in for Godzilla versus Kong. You're going to pay for chaos walking?

I am going to pay my $20 a month for my AMC A list. Okay. And you're going to waste it on chaos walking? Yes, because from what I hear, I've got to see it just to if I can make fun of it. Okay. Well, I got HBO Max Just for fucking justice Yeah

It's totally worth it And uh Kong versus Godzilla was supposed to already be out And they fucking moved it back Wednesday Next uh That's okay Yeah I'm gonna go

I'm actually gonna go see it Wednesday So if you guys are doing an A stream fiends episode Count me in If I'm invited Because I want to talk about Oh you're invited

because I didn't think you wanted to watch it. You said it looked at the first of the fact that there was ever. Yeah, you got to have at least one dissenting voice on there, right? Who's going to win that one? You just sent it. You never know. Who's going to win the review or the movie? You know what?

Lance already lost. God damn it. I may fuck love the movie, man. You never know. You didn't see the ending yet? The god of monsters or a monkey. You didn't see the ending yet? the ending? Someone threw it on YouTube already.

Oh, I don't want to see that. I want to go to the goddamn big screen and see it on the big screen, man. Come on. Well, how is this a ball? I've gotten both my shots. How the fuck did they get the goddamn ending? I'm paying for the fucking streaming service. Fuck this shit.

They must have showed it somewhere because whoever whoever was watching it, you could see somebody's head in front of it. And it was the movie. It was, it was only like 20 seconds or something like that. And I was like, that's how you're going to. That was probably Danny going in there under the pseudonym of Lois.

That's what I do. Clark. I'm going to see it, but I know I won't love it as much as the original. I mean, the 63 version, that one. To me, I love giant monster movies, especially those ones I grew up with, that being my favorite Godzilla movie. King Kong won that one because Godzilla pussed out. And I don't know. We'll see where it goes.

I'm hoping it's about them to not what they did with the first Godzilla when they, yeah, Godzilla, but we're going to tell you these 10 other stories and not show you Godzilla. Right. You know what I don't give a shit about in Godzilla? Godzilla, the fucking people's. Danny's over there drinking with the big old Stein. Like, what is this, beer fest? Where's Das Bout, man? Well, I just like to drink out of glass.

Actually, it's empty now, so I'm not drinking anything. I noticed that. Yeah, it's in the other room. I don't want to miss anything. It just says, I'm riveted. I want to know how you feel about giant lizards and giant gorillas, because it seems to be the question of our time.

Giant girls. Giant gruel. And women were flames, yeah. I think the best thing would be if they accidentally got their dick stuck in a Chinese finger trap. You know, I always like the whole Godzilla versus King Kong thing. Because King Kong, like what, he had to climb skyscrapers. And Godzilla's like, like 2,000 feet tall, you know? Yeah, Godzilla just steps on a skyscraper, right?

Yeah, I don't think they... I guess they just had to, like, you know. sizes when they do that. They would have to. Otherwise, it would be pretty short movie. Godzilla versus Bainee. Dude, they should totally make Godzilla smaller. I think that would

make it a better movie. Kind of like Kareem, Abdul-Jabbar versus the Ewax or something, right? Versus Vernon Troyer. He was small in that Inspector Gadget one, Ferris. Oh, yeah.

That's right. Because he was the buildings, and when they run around New York, the buildings were way bigger than him. Yeah, in New York City, right? Yeah, I know a lot of people didn't like that movie. I did. I thought it was awesome. Are we talking about one crazy summer where Bob Goldwater puts on there?

Bobcat. He sounds like a guy still. If anybody was going to do the voice. Oh, yeah. He don't do that voice anymore. he talks normal now oh yeah he's a he's a serious director now right brian oh yeah

he's very serious all right is that it for the news that's it uh Danny and ricky you're ready to go down to the trailer park yeah yeah I'm not too far from any oh you mean like in the show

yeah yeah yeah Brian is Brian is gonna bring us the big, the small, and the very, very weird. What's on the docket, Brian? First up is from our friends over at Black Fawn Entertainment, and it's a movie called Hall.

When a debilitating sickness spreads across a long hotel hallway, a few scattered victims fight for survival and try to escape the dark, narrow stretch of isolated carnage. Is that what that was? Yes, that's what that was. This is directed by Francisco Gianni, and it stars Julian Ritching, Cariana, Bartzac. I'm going to mess up all these names.

Vlatsa Varna, Mark Gibson, Yukio, Shaku, Don Ford, Kim Richardson, and so on. What did you guys think of Hall? I didn't see these, so this is up to you guys. Damn it, Wants. Sorry. You know, neon seems to be trying to do like an A-24 thing. Agreed.

Yeah. And I don't know. It looks like it's probably going to be cool. But in reality, it's probably going to be long and drawn out and real slow. Yeah, I wasn't really looking forward to this one. But I'll definitely support it, you know. Blackfant Entertainment, those guys have hooked us up with a few movies and good guys. So I'll definitely check out anything they have coming out.

Yeah. I mean, there's nothing that I hated about the trailer. That's all. I didn't get any of that from it. Well, my favorite part was where when the sheriff goes, hey, no way. No way you come from my Lawrence. I'm going to go home and put your mom in the mouth. They're not getting confused or something else.

God damn, Bert Reynolds. I'm watching it right now. Hold on. Catch it up. Danny. I saw the picture of the thing. What did you think of the picture? I thought it looked, I don't know, like, it was called Hall. And I was like, well, I don't know if, so, I mean, they made a, they make Cube.

Cube was good. So, I mean, if you can make Cube good, then I imagine Hall can be all right. Can people pop in and out of the doors and stuff? Like, like, as you're running down the hallway, somebody pops out, they're like, oh, I'm sick. And you're like, oh, no, don't touch me. Are they running for the elevator? I mean,

apparently there's a lot of potential. They're just staying in the hall. I thought it was an autobiography of Anthony Michael Hall. No, it's an auto biography of Odaiso from Old Boy. It's about that hall where he hits all those people with a hammer. Yeah. All right. I got to be honest, Ness, I'm sorry for all you all.

Next time I'll know that I was supposed to watch that trailer. I'm sorry. It looks all right. I mean, that a little fake Carolan looking girl and that dude from wrong turn, I'm in. I'll watch it.

And yeah, if you guys want to send it to us, I'll definitely watch it. It looks interesting to me. It doesn't look like anything new. I mean, it's just stuff we've seen before. So hopefully,

The special effects are good. The makeup job that I see a little bit in the trailer looks cool. Right. I'll watch it. Yeah. And Slow doesn't necessarily mean bad. It's just they're harder to make good. So.

Yeah. We'll see that. I got you. You think this movie will end up. What was that movie you hated, Lance? with the the virus movie uh songbird

no the one where they were in the house and they kept showing that red oh the darkness comes and I really love the waves which was the next movie that that guy directed um god damn it uh what's what was it called uh the night comes for us or something like that yeah that one yeah boring as hell man

that was good oh Jesus Christ dude I fell asleep twice. I fell asleep twice. But the next movie he directed Waves, that one I loved. That was my cool of the week. So, no accounting for taste, I guess, huh? So, yeah, to answer your question,

it's probably a lot like that. I'm thinking you're right, Brian. Damn, I'm just excited to get back to the movie theater this week, boys. Yeah, nobody is the one I'm going to go see first, which is out now. God damn it, dude. That is in the John Wick universe.

You know he's got to show up at the hotel, am I right? He's got to. Hello? Can you hear me? I can. Yeah. I can hear you. Theater.

Oh, this is the one with Saul Goodman? Yes. Okay. It's all good, man. Yep, I'm going to check that out. And like I said, Chaos Walking, maybe to make fun of it, Brian. But at least... no, Brian left.

Well, damn it. What's our, I'll try to pick up where he left off. What's our, uh, he's back. That's our next trailer. Sorry. Hey, Brian's back. Okay, cool. We're good. So, uh, what was Lance talking about nobody again?

Yeah. Is Lance there? Did Lance go to? Oh, God damn cruise out. What the fuck? He says he's here. Can you hear me now? Yeah, I can hear you.

And thank goodness, I thought Danny I got to have to break it out in song. Yeah, well, hey, man, you know? What would Brian Busset do? He would say, dive! Yes, he would. You guys were just waiting for that moment. All right, let's move on to the next trailer. It's a new werewolf movie titled

bloodthirsty. Gray is an indie singer who is having visions that she is a wolf. When she gets an invitation to work with notorious music producer Von Daniels at his remote studio in the woods, she begins to find out who she really is. So should I ask who watched the trailer? It looks all right. I mean, I don't know. Oh, man.

I did watch that trailer. Okay. It looked good. Yeah? I thought it looked good. Okay. That's all I need to hear. I'm there.

It looked like, you know, a werewolf movie, man. I mean, I don't have high expectations for werewolf movies. Wherewolves of London? Dude, okay. I was drinking of Nicolada with Danny. I think when you look at our level of what we consider a good werewolf movie is

a howling, too. Oh, they... We don't expect much from werewolf movies. I felt like Pet Cemetery Remake, guys. That's not even... What the fuck?

Oh, man, Ricky, your hair is perfect. this one looks cool dude it's a new take on a werewolf movie i think all right yeah like it's it looks like something different and i'm interested in it it also looks like another slow burn so you know could go either way but uh i kind of like it this was i'm most excited about this one it's going on the schedule because it gives us a reason or it gives lance reason to watch dogs all It was Yes.

All right. I'm in. I'm in. Kind of reminded me a raw when that girl was drinking the blood. Oh,

gosh, that movie. She was on her period or what? No, you were drinking that blood and that plate from that meat in the fridge.

Gotcha. Like a mix between raw and neon demon. Aye, aye, that's a tall order, Philip.

That may be a long maybe to sit through, man. Ron was a letdown. For us, they kind of both work. Remember? We hated it. Yeah. It was good to see Michael Ironside pop up in the trailer, though.

Most of that was just because it was one of those, ah, people are leaving the theaters, and they're all throwing up, and it's the grossest movie you've ever seen. You know, anytime they throw that shit in there, and it's overhyped, right? Yeah, overhyped, right? Yeah, overhyped.

There you go. Like top gun, over height. Top gun. Are you fucking know. You watch your mind. That was over height. What, slacks? Top gun, he said.

That was way over height. Oh, Ness. Oh, Ness can't wait for Top Gun too. That should be any. All right. I'm ready for that one. That one looks good. I've never in my life heard that Top Gun sucked except you.

Yeah, no shit. Even Ricky and Danny love Top Gun. It's not. no Iron Eagle. Yeah, exactly. It's definitely the, it's the jewel in Tony Scott's crown, that's for sure.

Oh, too soon. That can't be too soon. Come on, man. That's a lot of time ago. Hey, real quick, sorry to get off track. Nez, what did you think about the stuff? Oh, yes. I saw when it first came out. it was goofy

I like the effects I mean it was what it was I wasn't expected much man you see the poster it looks like ice cream devouring people coming out of the refrigerator so I kind of knew what I was expecting

it was goofy it was fun I mean seeing it in the theater that I saw it in where everybody was just talking to the screen the whole movie so I think that's what made it fun but once it hit V8

and I watched it again. I was kind of like, this movie's stupid. I just knew in the back of my head that you were going to be like, oh, hella good. It was when I first saw it. And then that's why I was like,

let me watch this again when it was just me sitting in the room. Yeah. And it was just goofy. I mean, I enjoy it. I have it here in my library. But as far as the score, I'd probably give it like a seven.

Not bad. It's entertaining. But what's the other one? Silver Bullet? That's the one you guys? That's a tin. That was... That was All the good.

That was all good. I'll take it. Rest of peace, Corey Hame. Oh, man. You can't go wrong, man. You got crazy Gary Busey all drunk and everything in that one. So that movie was awesome. Yeah, Silver Bullets great.

World Wolf movie. Yep. Yep. Coked up Stephen King. Can't Go Wrong. Cycle of the Werewolf. Awesome book as well. All right, Blood Thirsty, April 23rd.

Not in theaters. Yeah, I'll be checking out. And finally, yeah. Lance, you didn't watch none of the trailers? No, not this go-round, man. Okay, I threw in this one because you are a big Ben Wheatley fan. Oh, yes. I can't wait for this movie, man. See, I didn't want anything to be spoiled.

I want to wait until I actually see the film. So I shouldn't even read a synopsis or anything for you. Oh, that's cool. Read the synopsis, man. All right. Ben Wheatley's new film is in the earth. As the world searches for a cure for a disastrous virus. A scientist and Park Scout venture... Stop if you've heard this one, guys.

A scientist and a Park Scout venture deep into the forest for a routine equipment run. What did you guys think of in the Earth? Phil. Oh, this was the neon movie. I totally got my shit mixed up, man. Yeah, this one looks like a slow burn kind of cool thing. I totally forgot what the hall was. So we'll see how that goes.

You had me at Ben Wheatley, so I'm in. It seems like a just except for the idea of when you're going to go all the way through this movie, and you're going to find out that the cure is the My Pillow guy. Oh, no! You gotta be kidding, man. I watched this one, and it had that kind of spirit in the woods kind of thing, and then there was the two people went out.

It looks like one of those ones that halfway through, you're not sure if they're contributing to each other's dementia kind of thing. Like, you know, one of them's inventing it. The other one's kind of making things happen, and then there's really people getting dragged into the woods near the end of the trailer. So I was like, that threw me, because I thought it was going to be one of those.

psychological thrillers and you wouldn't be sure, kind of like Antrum near the end or whatever, where you're not sure if they're really happening or not. But then people were getting dragged into the tall grass and I was like, well, maybe it's more than I thought. It ran the gamut. I really didn't get a good idea of what was happening in the movie. So it might be a good reveal. Does it bother anybody that they constantly throw in?

This is like the first great horror movie of the year. like it's in the trailer it's on the poster wow same thing I was talking about earlier man when they say that uh you know it's so so gross that people are throwing up on the outside of the theater it's so scary that people had to leave yeah it's that kind of thing

although you know they just you know I don't know maybe maybe throwing expectations a little high for that's the yeah that's the problem but we'll see

When they have a review that says, I shat my pants, that's the way you're staying. Now, was that because of the movie? Yeah, it's right. You take it in the way. What'd you think, Des? Looking at his filmography, the only movie I've seen of his is Free Fire. But he's doing the Meg, too. Maybe he can save the friend.

eyes, man. Well, that looks like a totally different movie than this. Does it? Yeah. And hard-boiled, is that the is he remaking John Wooz? Hard-boiled? Is he? Probably. Somebody was going to eventually Yeah, and then he's got

another movie, Mega Evil motherfuckers. That sounds cool. I don't know what it is out. I'm on board with that one. Yeah, I'm all about that one. But, um, this is interesting. For what it is, I mean, I'll check it out. It looks like a slow burn.

It's not very long, so they'll probably just get straight to the point on what's going on. Because usually with movies like this, if it hits the two-hour point, that's going to drag. Again, I've only seen the one movie Free Fire that he directed, and I love that movie. I'm interested. I'm all in on this one. cool what you think of rickie want to see mega evil motherfuckers now that too I didn't get to see the trailer on this one but it sounds like something I'd like to check out so we'll see okay are you into any of Ben Wheatley's movies

I'm kind of hit and miss okay yeah all right all right that one comes out April 30th and I believe that one is in theaters and that's the only trailer. The last trailer. Sorry. On to listener feedback, we go. Tonight, well, tonight we shine the spotlight on Shat the Movies. Nice.

Okay, I think we just talked about that. Rewinding the 80s and 90s, Man, feel good movies sure have changed since 1997. Oh, yes. Back then, all you needed was an economically depressed English town, a nasty divorce, body dysmorphia,

erectile dysfunction, and attempted suicide to create a happy time blockbuster film like The Full Monty. Oh, there you go. The Full Monty. Listener, Mike H, commissioned this one from across the pond.

giving the Shat crew a chance to discuss pulp, male strippers, arsenal, universal basic income, what? Health depictions of homosexuality and the beauty of marriage. That sounds like a landmine. Yes. Yeah. Careful where you step. So that ought to be fun.

It kind of makes me want to listen now. Yes. I'm queuing it up right now. Now. Regarding the upcoming Chuckie series, Scott Williamson says, I just see, can he wait. Better be good because one was not so. Oh, well. They can all be winners, right?

Chris Rowland says, yeah, I think I'm going to watch it. Oops, that sentence hurts my brain. Regarding bloodthirsty, hey, that's one we just talked about. Rob Forrest says looks pretty good. Hey. Well? See? I'm excited about that one, man, I think.

I don't know. It might suck, but hopefully it's good. We give it a try, right? Regarding Pacific Heights, Stephen Loblad says they should leave that shit alone. regarding synchran I don't even know how you say that word Synchronic

Yep There you go Kate Pollock says First to watch First watch So fucking excited Marcus Will Turner Shareed a link for them

Fantasy horror and history Are blending quite terrifyingly in this one Jesus I thought comment for a second. I was like, oh, wow. Oh, I think that's on Prime, right? Yeah.

That's going to be on Prime. So the first episode, if I'm reading this correctly, is an hour and 42 minutes. And it's like a six-episode series. Have you guys heard of this show, Them? No. I've seen it. I've seen the trailer. Jesus Christ, man.

It's like every episode is going to be a full movie, right? They're that long. I mean, are the rest of them that long? You know what? Sherlock on the BBC is that way. Like each episode is an hour and a half, but they only have like, what, three, three episodes a season or something like that. Oh, it's British, though, huh?

Yeah, we'll see what happens. I'm going to give it a shot, man. I mean, it looks, it looks pretty creepy. Blackmere style. And Ty West is involved, so there's that. Yes, yeah. Great, great director. Lance, you comment said you're going to talk about slow-go.

Oh, yeah, Ty West is the king of slow-over, man. Yep. Samantha Bean says Ty West is one of my favorite directors. After I lost my bet, which one? Two of his movies were among my first. House of the Devil and the Inkeepers. Loved them both. Great movies.

Definitely. We'll check this out. I didn't like it. than keepers. Yeah, she became quite a horror file. That was crazy. Kate Pollock says the first episode of Eternal Darkness

Not So Spotless Minds Podcast is in the bag. Very fucking excited. We'll be posting links everywhere when the episode is ready. Please check it out if you're inclined. Yeah, I saw where they were pushing it out I'm kind of glad to see them finally get things going.

So it's, I think it's been a while coming, so good for them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think Kate was just on Duncan's podcast. Yeah. Oh, yeah?

Cool. Yeah, they were talking about it on ours. Um, and let's see. I think we've got some extra feedback here. Uh, oh, yeah. Okay. So we were talking about Casey Affleck last, uh, last, last week. I think.

Here we go. And some people were saying he was such an asshole and none of us knew why. Well. Turn off the, uh, let's hit the non-politically correct button here. Yeah. Right for the next hour. Uh, we did some, uh, research on Casey Affleck, and it seems he pretty much admitted to being a jackass, but he did apologize. So there's that.

That's all that matters, right? Uh, two women sued the actor for sexual harassment on the set of the mockumentary. still here. It was an unprofessional environment, and, you know, the buck had to stop with me being one of the producers, and I have to accept responsibility for that, and that was a mistake. I contributed to that unprofessional environment, and I tolerated that kind of behavior from other people that I wish I hadn't, and I regret a lot of that. I really did not know what I was responsible for as the boss.

I don't even know if I thought of myself as the boss. God, this sounds hilarious. But I behaved in a way and allowed others to behave in a way that was really unprofessional and I'm sorry. That doesn't sound like an apology. Like, what?

That's like an apology-ish. I need no details on this one because that sounds like he was just there when some shit happened with somebody else. It does, doesn't it? Yeah.

It does. I mean, he's just taking responsibility as the boss I mean, I don't know. I know I'm the boss and all, but I don't really know what it is I'm the boss of. But it's definitely not your penis. Aye, aye, aye.

Where was Batman? Where was Batman when all this was going on? You know? He's fucking catwoman on the Batmobile. Right. He's probably... He's coming... Speaking of coming full circle, wasn't Jared Leto?

on this. Oh, no, that was my team Phoenix. I got my jokers mixed up. Sorry. And then, let's see. Katie Pollock commented on Synchronic again.

Psychronic, synchronic. Fuck that. God damn word. So good, really smart, very well active. A. Cinematography. Just classic Moorhead and Vincent. If you like the endless, you'll like this. And Darren Wilson says, wow, Lance, you've never seen the stuff.

Nope. Now I have. Eight on ten. All right. Well, that's it for listener feedback. Of course, our show intro comes from Steve Carlton of the League of Geeks. Artwork is from Natsulani. The music is non-existent now because we got shit can for it.

shut that shit down all right on to featured attractions This week we check out Cat's Eye and Reanimator with 1985 Part 2 Cat's Eye, we'll start with

A stray cat is the linking element and three tales of suspense and horror. Directors are Louis Teague, also known for Cujo and Jewel of the Nile. Oh, he's the only director? Yeah. Oh, okay. Writer Stephen King, of course.

who was obviously so coked out in 1985 that he wrote literally every horror screen play that year. In The Ledge, Cressner flips through a magazine on the coffee table. That magazine is the July 1976 issue of Penthouse,

which featured the short story of the segment was based on. Oh. Ah, okay. Look at that. Life in the takes out. and of course in the beginning of the film pretty obvious

Kujo and Christine can be seen on the sidewalk and on the street respectively so a little shout out to some more Stephen King stuff the first the night shift book oh yes what did you say and the third one he wrote in like 20 minutes

while he was on Coke so the first two stories came from nightshel which is just a collection of his shorts and which you know has a lot of great ones in there but uh huh and then like said the it's just like

let's just make up well what did you think about cat's tale uh Ricky Castile Cat's eye, my bad same thing One end of the other

This is right This is the This is The You know You've got Pretty to happen You also got the other

Trilogy of the Twilight Zone movie that came out of a trilogy, but another compilation movie. Yeah. I think he had to put something that was kind of between there. It's almost like you can tell the success of this. Hey,

it doesn't really have to be an R-rated movie. A much bigger crowd if you make these stories that kind of sit in. That's what Danny and I are losing. Uh-oh. They're losing you. Let's move on.

Danny, what did you think? We'll come back to Ricky. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I love Cat's Eye. I remember growing up and watching it. It's a, you know, to what Rick was saying, and I'm not going to, we did talk about this a little bit when we were doing our test call.

You know, he had, in 1982, he did creep show, and then, you know, here three years later, I think he got an itch to do another anthology horror thing because he enjoyed doing that. Even with Quitters Incorporated, you can kind of see a lot of the same, kind of hokeyness that Romero was doing with Crepe show. You know, like when everybody's smoking at that party,

it's a, it just reminds me a lot of the kind of, almost the comic book camp that you get with, with some of the creep show things, you know, using the comic book motif. Maybe Stephen King phoned in the last one, but I've always loved the little Gremlin in the Wall thing. It's so interesting. and the whole opening up and then disappearing seamlessly is just fantastic and the cat.

And I just, and Drew Barrymore is every little girl in this movie. Like she's two people's daughters. Did you guys notice that? Yeah. Was she in the earlier story also? Yeah, and Quitters Incorporated. She's also his daughter. She's wearing the big glasses and she's got darker hair.

But that's Drew Barrymore, too. Yeah. Oh, okay. But I've always loved it. I mean, I enjoyed the rewatch a lot. I, um, the cat, man, like, that cat gets around. Yeah, no kidding, man. That was a kick-ass cat.

I agree, but I'm, I really, again, you know, to your point, I think it's, you know, Kujo shows up at the beginning. I like the ending of the Quitters Incorporated one where the, the, the, the, the, the, like his pinky has disappeared, you know, that, where, where he's, he joking says, well, if you don't stay on your diet, then we'll have to come cut your wife's finger off. And then at the end, that lady's fingers cut off. Oh, sure. We knew that was coming.

Yeah, yeah. I mean, it just, I thought it was a lot of fun. And I really enjoyed revisiting it. Although, to be fair, why would you still be fucking friends with somebody who put your wife in a fucking electric room? Man, yeah, those husbands, like, I don't see why their wives stuck with them. I definitely would have... I don't know. I'm not in their shoes, but I think they got off pretty easy.

Quit quitting cigarettes as a bitch, man. I agree. But, you know, like... But Jesus fucking Christ. Exactly. Thank you for that. That's where I'm going with that. I mean... Ricky, you still around? You're back.

No. Yeah, you're cutting out a lot, man. Rikki said there's a big storm going on. I think they're shocking his wife over there. God damn it. I'm in the middle of a... We've had tornadoes hit here in Tennessee the last few days. I don't know what it's like in West Tennessee.

But middle Tennessee is under a warning right now. Hope you don't go flying while we're talking, man. I was going to... It seems like it's passed by, but... I was going to warn you guys that if I got cut off, of course, you know, the way to start it out, you know, I didn't want to make it seem even worse than it was. Yeah, if the house lands on you, just move along. I got you. Last night, a block from here, several of the houses actually lost. Like gutters got ripped off of them and a couple of them have big holes in the roofs.

And that's just two blocks from where I am right now. And the same thing is traveling through, but I don't think we have any tornado warnings right now. Well, those suckers are hit or miss. Good luck. All right. Nez, what did you think about it? This was a good one. I loved it.

I wish there was a few more stories in it, just because loving creep show on how amazing that was. Yeah. So I didn't really think this was, I know they put this in the horror section, but I didn't think it was a horror movie at all. It was more of just a thriller, and I really enjoyed each story. My favorite one being the Quitters one, James Wood, he's a little wacky now.

A little bit. I liked what he did in this one. My favorite scene in that story was when he just couldn't do it, when he was sitting on the freeway and figured, ah, no one's around, let me just light up. and then when he looks up he sees that guy that was making out with a girl looking at him and then that's what kicked it off

for him. I thought it was really good. He's a fucking closet. Yeah, no kidding. Speaking of closets. Ricky, watch out from behind you. But, I mean, it was a good movie. I mean, I really enjoyed it.

When I first seen it, a friend of mine told him, He goes, yeah, man, you got to see this, dude. If you like Creep Show, let's go. So I was expecting horror, but I didn't get it. But either way, in the end, I thought it was a really good movie. I liked both of the stories. I didn't really care for the wraparound in the little gremlin, goblin, whatever he was at the end.

I was kind of like, eh, sure. I was, I was, that one was all right. But out of the other two stories, I thought that was good. It was good to see. What's the guy's name from Airplane? Robert Hayes. Yeah. It was good.

I like that one, but the part I loved in that story was when how that bird kept pecking at him at his feet. And then you see him just kick it. What a dick bird, man. But that was a cool story. I did like that one as well. But yeah, I thought the movie was awesome. That's kind of what I was saying earlier, Kevin, when, you know, to me it feels more like it's just this side of amazing stories instead of a creep show.

Yeah. Yeah, I can agree with that. You want to expand, Ricky? We can hear you now. It's basically it. I've always enjoyed it. But it's that thing. It's not really hard.

I mean, it's got elements in it where, you know, the whole hanging on the ledge thing is pretty intense. And what a baddie. I mean, that guy that's. That's the bad guy in that. Yeah, he's intimidating. And you kind of walk away with that. But I think overall it's a lot of fun. I know Stephen King was upset because he wanted to have a voiceover at the beginning of the movie to try to explain how it all ties together.

And they didn't do it. And he was always really upset about that. Sounds like Stephen King is upset about a lot of things. Yeah. Yeah. So he said, I'll show you. I'll do maximum overdrive. and a hell of good that was a 10 he got the last laugh yeah he wasn't wrong he showed him

uh all right uh Brian what'd you think uh this was uh definitely a fun rewatch um of course the the one with the the troll or gremlin or whatever he was is probably the most iconic one but i think uh Quarters ain't on this rewatch really stood out more because I don't remember how extreme their methods was. If you smoked the cigarette will send someone to come

and rape your wife. Yeah, it was actually, I did not remember any of that, so it was actually kind of shocking. So I think that story kind of stood out for me. The ledge was kind of fun. And

It looked crazy. It looked like they actually had that cat run across that street in that story in traffic. It just kind of looked like they just hoped for the best. But yeah, definitely a fun rewatch. You want a cat? I'll get you a cat.

Lance, what do you think? Oh, man. Great, fantastic gateway horror movie for the young ones because I did watch this a lot when I was junior high. Well, no, shit, high school. Fuck. I'm dating myself now.

I guess I watched this a lot when I was in high school and after, but I watched it with the... You know what? I was high as balls, I'm sure, the whole time, because that's the way I stayed. But that being said, I did watch this movie last night with the three-year-old granddaughter, and she absolutely loved it.

She was written for the... She was rooting for the cat the whole way. She was pumping her hand into the air saying, go kitty, go kitty, go kitty, go kitty. And there was nothing in this that I felt uncomfortable, you know, with her watching with me. So, oh, man, this is a great movie to watch with the young ones and start getting them into some, like, suspense horror. And that little troll was, oh, man, that was great animation for mid-80s, I think. and, you know, obviously it wouldn't hold up so much today, but it was a very fun movie.

I really enjoyed it, man. It was a great thing to turn the granddaughter on to, and I can't wait to watch more horror movies with her. Nice. Ness, you already go? Yeah, I already went. Okay, my bad. Well, then, you know what?

I kind of agree with all of you. I thought the last one was definitely kind of silly with the little troll coming out of the wall. Although it was, it was fun. It was fun and stupid. Sure, sure. The other two actually, I think, were pretty decent stories.

The Quitters Inc. is the one that really sticks with me more because it was kind of more extreme. Although even the walking around the building thing was pretty intense, I think. You know? I really enjoyed it. this one. It was and there's a lot of Stephen King shit from the 80s

that is a little too cheesy and a little too stupid. And this one kind of hit the nail on the head. I liked it. All right. Let's do scores.

Danny? One to ten. What do you think? One to ten? You know, I've got to give I got a cat's eye at ten. I remember it from being Damn. I love it. I love it. I love it's anthology. I love anthological horror. And just for the fact that they constructed Drew Barrymore's bedroom in giant scale so they could have a little gremlin guy run around in it. That was the best part of that one. I mean, you know, that's practical effects for you. He's climbing the bedpost because it's enormous.

Just stuff like that and like my memories from it as a kid, maybe I've got some rose tending glasses, but I'll give it to 10. nice there was a couple times there where I was like is it is that a full-sized guy do they have a kid dressed in it because it's definitely right in a costume right yeah that was a lot of fun man uh Nez you went next right yeah I'll give us a nine nice I love it uh yeah it's borderline I mean um I think I mean the movie is a wait for it Philip Yeah, it's not whichboard. The whole movie was good. I was just, I just wasn't really satisfied with that last story. But, I mean, speaking of the special effects, yeah, that all that stuff that you said, Danny was awesome.

And yeah, I did like that it was a guy in a suit in a big giant oversized room. I thought that was awesome. But I just really didn't, I just didn't like the story on what they were trying to do. But, I mean, the other two stories were awesome. So, yeah, I give this a nine. Billy. All right. Ricky, what do you think?

Yeah, well, to follow up with Kevin, the whole point of the story is, it's kind of a, I don't know if you know this or not, but back in the day, parents didn't want you to sleep with your cats because they had the focalor of cats would steal your breath when you're asleep. So that's kind of the building point off of that story. So you think it's a cat, but no, it's just little, you know. Right. Sure. So, uh, I bet you that came from cat allergies. As, as M. Knight would say, what's a twist? It's a twist.

I'm going to give us a nine as well. I think it's a lot of them. Nice. Um, any, anytime you get to see a little troll chewed up in a fan. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's like a little knife. Uh, all right.

All right. Lance, what did you think? Oh, man. Shit, I don't mean to be the low water mark, but I love the movie. Seven and a half. It's three-fourths good. It's a lot of fun to watch. It's not a masterpiece by any stretch, but

it was really fun watching it with the little one. And I think you should definitely use this as a gateway movie to get the little ones into horror for sure. Makes sense. It's good to have quality. control in the numbers.

Yeah. Brian, what do you think? I'll bring us back up. This is a nine out of ten. Super fun rewatch. Good anthology. And yeah, I agree with you, Lance. I think this is a good

gateway movie, except for the we'll send someone to come rape your wife scene. Well, I kind of explain that away, you know, like, oh, he was just going to play her, you know. Hey. It's Alan King, though.

It's like, yeah. I mean, you know, we'll do. Hey, you got to do what you got to do, okay? It builds tension. I like it. All right. Well, I'm going to go, I'm going to go eight, I think. Nice.

Yeah, very, very impressive. It's a good retro movie. and like Lance was saying, it's a great one to watch with the kids. And I wish I had thought about that beforehand, but may have them watch it later. It was a good one. All right.

Really quick, really quick, lightning round. What's your guys favorite Stephen King movie? Ricky, go. Terry. Danny. Similar bullet, man. Silver Bullet.

Lance. CBS All Access, the Stand. Just came out. It's a masterpiece. Absolute masterpiece. Didn't they just block your podcast? That was actually technically HBO. That was universal.

Fuck y'all. Fuck you all. You know what? I'm going to start pirating HBO. I'm not going to pay for HBO Max anymore. if you're listening, motherfuckers. If y'all, y'all, fuck the universal. Fuck you all. Fuck Godzilla.

Fuck King Kong. And fuck all the monsters. Yeah. We got a new ranch. We're alienating. We were down in a week. We'll make our own music. I'll go join Trump

on whatever new platform he's on now. Phil, what's yours? Fuck, I don't know, man. Kujo or Silver Bullet probably Oh Pet Cemetery remake I forgot that one Shit

Ryan Carrie Oh that's a good one I'm so glad nobody said the Shining I'm so glad nobody said the Shining Well that was a good answer too I like Carrie though That's I'm gonna change my answer to Carrie

That's De Palma man De Palma I'm gonna go John Carpenter is Christine. I really love that. Oh, yes. It's just really slow burn, but I just love it. It's so good, though. Yeah. So, I mean, I loved everything about it. I mean, it's John Carpenter. You've seen all his films.

I mean, it's that's his style, so I thought it was a really good movie. I would pick The Shining, but that's kind of one that everyone always goes to. I mean, not us, but everyone always go. I love the movie. I even liked the TV one. But, yeah, Christine. All right, Phil. I'll go. I'll go with the Simpsons version, the Shining.

The Shinning? All right. Well, Lance, I'm going to let you take over on the reanimator trivia real quick, because I'm about to pee on myself. Okay, well, that being said, this, this, we're still in 1985, and we're going to check out reanimator directed by the one and only Stuart Gordon, original short story that it was based on by H.P. Lovecraft. So let's see how this goes. After an odd new medical student arrives on campus, a dedicated local and his girlfriend, God damn it, she's hot too. Become involved in bizarre experiments centering around the reanimation of dead tissue. I'm going to tell you something right now. that Barbara Crampton could definitely make my dead tissue reanimate. I'm going to tell you that.

Again, director Stuart Gordon, also known for From Beyond, and also dolls. Writers Dennis Paoli, William Norris, and Stuart Gordon. The special effects department went through 24 gallons of fake blood during the shoot. Nolan said that reanimator was the bloodiest film he had ever worked on. In the past, he had never used more than two gallons of blood on a film. That's a big difference. When David Gale's wife, oh, now this is where it gets weird. All right, this is why we do trivia, boys.

When David Gale's first wife first saw the infamous giving head scene, she stormed out, shouting David, how could you? David Gale's wife divorced him shortly after this film's release. Wow. In the DVD's

audio commentary, the rest of the cast suspects that the scene when his character, Dr. Hill, attempts to rape Megan, was the cause of the divorce. So we'll leave that up to inquiring minds, but Ricky, what'd you think,

I am, 1985, baby, what did you think your reanimated her? So let me tell you my story about this movie. So I'm gonna,

I'll end up giving away my, my scoring right here right now, but this is easily a top 10, top 10 horror movie for me of all time. Oh, yes, yes. I love, I went and rented this movie, and as soon as it was over,

I immediately popped it out of the VCR, ran to the neighbor's house, and said, you got to watch this shit I love it I love it man kind of like evil dead right it's evil dead too

I mean we we talked about that earlier if you take Evil Dead 2 and reanimate you've got a heck of a night because oh man you'd never leave the house so so much dark humor in here the gore was just unreal for the time I mean like you said I mean it was way over the top

to me this was kind of a turning point in these kind of movies. And I really don't like the sequels at all. This one, man, just I love this movie so much. But yeah, as far as

Barbara Captain, I mean, yeah, she's hot in this one, but the way she was dressed and from beyond. Oh, yeah. Well, and you know what? It's a lot of the same people, right? What's Jeffrey comes in that as well? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

So, but yeah, I actually cover. Well, I know what I'm watching next. Well, definitely know where your heart is. Danny, where's yours? You know, so I told Rick earlier today, this is first time watch for me. I'd heard about, I'd heard about Reanimator. And like Rick said, there was a lot of sequels. And I'd heard about scenes from the sequels.

And they kind of made it sounds like something I'm not going to waste time on. But a lot of people I knew liked it. So when I got a chance to watch for this, I was excited to just kind of see what it was all about. I thought it was really good. It was a tight story. And if you just checked out halfway through and tried to not think too hard about what's going on, it was a lot of great visuals. And just for naked morgue fights alone, it was quite the experience. Nice.

What do you think, Philip? Yeah, man. I'll agree with that, you know, a big old burn schlong trying to take care. down. No, this was the first watch for me too. And I fucking loved it.

Nice. This is horror the way it's meant to be. Yeah. Well said. Well said. I cannot say enough good things about it. This is, it's a classic for a reason, and I can't believe I've never watched it before. I'm ashamed of myself right now. I'm not going to say

Arnold Schwarzenegger's bodyguard. That whole scene with bones. It's just amazing. I'm not going to say too much about it. This is something I've watched probably from when I was 10 years old forward. So love this movie. I really want to know what Brian and Nez think.

Brian? Love it. Love the effects. Love the comedy in it. Love Jeffrey Combs. Barbara Crampton. Great. And I kind of do like the sequels, but just

because they're completely wacky and go off the rails and Jeffrey Combs does come back for everyone. I've never seen the sequels. This one I've seen probably a dozen times. The third one takes place in a prison.

Yeah. Kind of human citizen. Well, not that extreme. The second one is pretty decent. Yeah. Yeah, but I would have liked Barbara Crampton to would have come back for that one. Well, you can't have a problem. Yeah, that's the problem because you wanted that story to continue because you, you know,

the story you got here in this first one is so powerful that, yeah, you want to just kind of pick up from there and keep going, but it really doesn't. Does it get the hell of good, Sam? We, when did I first see this? A friend of mine or his brother saw it. No, his sister. And she went on a date and she goes, yeah, my date took me to see this stupid movie about this guy that can bring people back to life with drugs. And I was like, okay, this sounds cool. And she goes, you guys probably like it.

So me and my buddy went and saw it. Sitting there in the theater, didn't know what to expect. The movie was over. We were walking out of theater. My buddy was like, that movie was fucking stupid. and I was like, I don't know what you were watching. This movie was fucking hell of good. I love this movie.

There's the hell of good stamp. It's practical effects, 80s all the way. Jeffrey Combs is good and everything, even in his dumb movies. And I just thought it was amazing, I mean, for what it was. And yeah, Arnold Schwarzenegger's buddy, his body double for Terminator and Running Man and all those total recalls as other ones. yeah that scene when they stuck the bones off through his chest that was sweet everything every

all the special effects in this I mean no CGI this was all made by hand and it was awesome I mean for what it was I mean the movie is not very long it's straightened to the point and jam as much gore as you can in it I mean the cat scene

go ahead go ahead No, go ahead. I was just going to say, even think of what, again, the turning point because every other movie where we bring somebody back from the dead is a zombie, a slow walking. Yeah, sure. And this is different. Yeah, I mean, this is the angry, you know, kind of like what we get with the Snyder zombies and stuff. And, I mean, so this was kind of ahead of its time. Yeah, I mean, it was awesome.

And using the green glow stick stuff. Oh, yeah, I love the day glow, the dayglow medicine that he put in. That was cool. I met Jeffrey Combs once. I judged him on all his movies because he's weird and everything, but he's far from weird. He's super nice. Oh, man, he's been in so much Star Trek, too, dude. He's more of a, he may be more of a treky than I am, Niz.

But, yeah, this movie is hell of good. I showed one of my friends that starting to get in to horror films and he was like, man, I couldn't handle that movie. I said, if you can't handle this, man, you got a surprise for you with some other stuff I'm going to show you, but it's good.

I mean, for what it is, the sequels, they're okay. I did like the second one. Third one. Maybe we'll try to, hopefully Brian can squeeze some of the sequels into our schedule. The third one, the greatest, but the Ryddery

Animator was all right. Okay. Right was pretty good. Kathleen Kempond and that, so. Yep. All right. Well, that being said, I think we've gone around the table. You all ready for scores? I just wanted to say,

we can't discredit Bruce Abbott in this either because. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We haven't even talked about him. And he's kind of the good looking main guy, right? He's the guy you're taking the trip with, right? I mean, as much as we love Herbert West, Herbert doesn't work without having that the character that Bruce Abbott's playing in this.

Yeah, of course. Yeah. Yeah, he's the handsome devil that we want to hang out with, right? Yeah. He's the one you keep saying, get away from that guy. What are you doing? He's got to be our wingman when we go to try to pick up Barbara Crampton, right? Another favorite effect of mine is, what's his name, Dr. Hill?

when he has his head sitting in that little little silver thing. I mean, that's... Yeah. Kind of like Governor from Walking Dead eats your heart out, right? I mean, stuff like that with the special effects. I mean, we all know how it works. But, I mean, does anyone really do that anymore? I mean, I know that it's a lot of CGI.

It's all CXI now, man. Yeah. No, everybody's too lazy now, Nez. Hey, one scene says it all in this movie, right? With Dean Hosey, who is now a zombie, grabs the doctor's head, and he hits it. And then he smushed it and slings it on the wall. Oh, man. You can't get this shit anymore, man.

They just don't do this anymore. Our unsung hero, the security guard, leaves to go whack it. Right. I'm so glad you mentioned the security guard. That guy is gold. He's the salt of the earth that makes this whole movie work with his cigar. There's a point where he's like, you know what? I do not get paid enough.

I'm calling the real cops. I'm getting out of here. Smartest dude in the movie. Can't blame him. That guy's great. All right, boys. Let's run it down. Scores.

I don't remember who went first. Oh, Ricky. Yes, I'm fine. Yes, I'll find you. Blot my mind. Go, Ricky. It's obviously a 10, but if I could give it more, I would. Oh, let's give it a 10.25, first ever on the show.

Can you hang with that? Oh, yeah. You're setting records, man. Yep. 10.25, Danny. All right. Can you beat it? Merely because two minutes in, you know, we have, you know, exploding eyeballs.

and 10 minutes in we have a pretty raucous sex scene. I'm going to have to give it a 9. Very nice. A 9 is solid, but... And that's as high as I'm willing to go, but it is a fantastic movie. Fantastic movie. Cool. Nine, nine is good.

Who's next? You. Ah, I'm also going 9. I love it. Nine on 10, man. Fun movie. Next? I'll give

Oh, go ahead Okay, I'm going to give it a 10 A motherfucker 10 Yes I love this moves, man It's great I want to watch it again right now I think we should

I think we should do a commentary Yes That would be great I am gonna Follow that 10 with another 10 Damn This Oh man

We are scaring the hell out of Into the Spiderverse right now guys. I was just watching that. And like that is a tan. This movie is definitely a tan because it's... Oh, I think we just

get into the Spider-verse. Thanks to Ricky giving it a 10.25. You just knock Spider-Man out, Ricky. How does that feel? I've been trying to do that in my whole life.

All right. If we're going around the table? He's Jonah Jameson in disguise. There's the Jimenezson in disguise. You're the one of the cigar, Philip. All right. That's a lot of dicks.

Sometimes the cigar is just a cigar. So, as always, we want to thank you guys for listening to another episode of The Horror Returns. We would love to hear your feedback and ideas.

Hell, man.

You can't shut the door on Ming. Right, yeah. Yeah. He pretty much tells us when it's time to hang it up, so. I guess so, man. Or he'll hang you up by your balls, right? Right. He leaves all that to colitis.

What about you, Danny? What do you have going on, man? You know, I'm, this is the only thing I've done in a while, and, um, It's just been real life, man. Real life takes up time, but it's worth living. So I'm doing that. I'm glad to be able to do this with you guys, though. This has been a lot of fun.

Yeah, definitely. You should be the next Wolverine, dude. I love the chops. Thank you. Thank you. I need the physique for it. I'll need to starve myself and not drink water for 36 hours. Where the hell that dude does?

They take an awful lot of steroids. You know, he ate, he had an entire, or two rotissory chickens every morning on his work routine. On top of the shots in his ass. And he still has a, and he has a tremendous singing voice, you know, like. Yeah, yeah, he's a, he's a star of Broadway, right? Yeah, that guy just won the, won the genetic lottery somehow. I think it's Australia.

I'll have to ask the witch about that. I think if Ricky would just see his hands. Great Professor X. I gotta think there's a little more to genetics than that. You think so, Phil? Oh, yeah, definitely. All of the superhero movies, yeah. Right on.

All right, Ricky, well, come out, take it out with me, man. Let's say, until the horror returns again, good. Come on. All right, that'll work. Good job.
