Hi, I'm Tom Savini. You might know me as Sex Machine from Dusk Till Dawn, and you're listening, and I don't know why, to the horror returns.
Meetings, victims, for those of you delight and dread, who fantasize about fear, who glorify, go, welcome.
You have found the 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.
Okay.
Try this again.
We can talk about it that.
That'll be funny.
Yeah.
Welcome back one and all to the horror returns.
I'm Phillip and with me as always are my co-host Kevin, Brian, and Lance,
once again on location and the sticks, which is why I'm hosting.
Kevin, I don't know if he can hear this right now.
You're at a Testament show, right?
Yeah, I'm down in the greatest city in the world.
Fuck what everyone else says.
We're the best.
We're the best.
We're about to get to the Bay Area Strikes Back.
We got one from Oakland and two from San Francisco, Testament, Exodus, and Death Angel.
And we're ready to tear this shit up.
This is a grandpa night at the Fox Theater with a bunch of little juniors running around.
This is all the shit that I used to listen to when I was a kid.
Got it's supposed to this real music.
Yeah, now I'm an old grandpa.
So, but they're about to do the vaccination card checker.
Oh, you're not even, not in the show yet.
No, we're not even inside.
We're still standing outside and they're checking everybody's their cards.
Oh, man, I imagine that just makes it take even longer.
I hadn't even thought about that.
Yeah, I think about another 40 minutes in the show will start one, but we're still outside.
They're going to start making you take off.
your shoes and belt and shit.
Yeah.
Well, I got clean
underwear on it, so we'll be all right.
But
other than that, man, we're just
slowly moving
along, but
I'm only here for a little
bit, so
because I don't know, what are you guys
watching?
We're watching
Goolies 2
and
house 2.
All right.
Well, gooies too.
I'll give you my rating right now.
Ten.
House to you.
Are you fucking crazy?
But, yeah, I'm up next.
So I'll talk to you guys later.
So we're on.
I'm out.
We out here.
What kind of insanity is that?
That music's too out.
Damn.
What the hell was that all about?
That man has endless tens to give out.
Yeah.
What did he give house too?
He just said trash.
Right.
Yeah.
Trash and hella good.
I'm going to assume zero.
And we're supposed to have Tavaris Ellis of the student of the game podcast, but whether it's my inability to work Skype or whatever, we're having technical difficulties.
And so he's going to miss it today, unfortunately, because we're going to reschedule.
Maybe we ought to just, hey, we should probably let him pick the movies, right?
Yeah.
I'm going to blame Skype.
This wasn't the first time we've done.
and we've dealt with this kind of thing.
Yeah, that's true.
All right, Brian, you haven't scheduled out January yet, have you?
Uh, I might have.
Let me look at it.
Okay, cool.
All right.
Well, we know what Kev's cool of the week is, definitely.
Well, let's go Lance.
What are you got for cool of the week?
Oh, man, you put me on the spot, dude.
But I think I'd come up with it pretty quick.
I'm getting through the most recent.
season of what we do in the shadows.
Oh, nice.
Yeah.
Still, still good.
Still good.
There was one episode, a couple back that I thought maybe they were going to jump the shark.
But they didn't.
So that's, that's all good.
I'm glad they didn't do that.
But I mean, fuck, man.
I was really worried about this show from the get-go because the movie was so damn good.
And with them changing all the actors, I thought they were going to be terrible.
but everybody's perfect in the role.
They haven't had any major changes in the primary characters,
and that's nice.
You're starting to get some backstory of some of the people like the dude that's the energy vampire.
I love that guy.
Definitely the best character.
Yeah, and Guillermo's kind of front and center.
Now that we know he's, well, I don't want to give too much away.
I guess I can because the last season where they revealed it was over a year ago,
but he's actually a distant relative of Van Helsing.
So he's kind of like their in-house vampire killer.
He kind of helps kill off the competition and stuff like that.
So our heroes are currently ruling the vampire council.
So that's what this season's all about.
Very cool.
I'll go next because I know Brian's got some good stuff
and we actually pay attention to his.
I didn't really watch a whole lot.
I started on the new season of Tiger King, and I got to say without Joe Exotic, it's not near as fun.
That's what I'm hearing.
Like those other crazy guys are just crazy without the glitter, you know?
How does he maintain his hair in prison?
I don't know.
It looks ridiculous, though.
I mean, I guess it always does, but...
they have prison barbers
yeah but that that's a special kind of hair cut
one of our prison barbers
was convicted of killing his wife with a pair of scissors
at least that was what I heard
holy shit yeah so I don't know why they had him
in there
my barber that I go to
actually did time so does that qualify
well since we're talking about our barbers
well before I started growing my hair out my barber
was an ex-pimp.
Oh, even better.
Even better.
Great stories.
He knows how to cut hair.
Great stories.
He knows how to cut hair, and his girls know how to cut you.
Yeah.
He knows how to cut a lot of things.
So there was that.
I started it.
I'm not all with it yet, because it's a little slower and not as nuts.
And I watched the new Hallie Berry movie, bruised.
Oh, I was a.
I was going to get to that.
I just hadn't got to it yet.
Yeah, it's not bad.
I mean, it's not great.
It's one of the better Hallie Berry performances in a while.
Because usually if she's carrying a movie, it's, yeah.
I believe she directed it, too.
Oh, did she?
Yeah.
Damn.
Huh.
She must be really into fighting right now or something.
Because, yeah, she's like a cage fighter who loses real bad, gets out of the UFC
and is down on her luck.
And is getting back.
into it. However old
she's supposed to be in the movie, she's definitely
older. And she's got a
kid
who shows up out of nowhere.
Like, she didn't know she had him.
But, and so now she's got to take
care of this kid and bond with him
and still fight. And it was
a pretty solid movie. The fighting was
actually pretty good, most of it.
Nice. Yeah, I'll give her props on that.
It was better than that one where she was
chasing the guy in the van or whatever the
fuck that movie was. Oh, that was bad.
Yeah. What was that movie called?
Like, uh, human cargo or something like that?
I don't know. Fuck it.
Was it, was it the one where her son got snatched?
Yeah, that's the one. Okay. Yeah. I can't think of the name though.
Yeah. Well, and usually that's the kind of movies that she has been in. You know, the
son gets snatched or she's a 911 operator or something like that. You know, she's got
And then this time it's more of a introspective story.
So that was kind of cool.
Yeah.
I thought she would have went the route of action movies after the John Wick.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
I forgot about her and John Wick.
She was great in that.
Well, maybe that's what got her into fighting.
Maybe that's why she did this movie.
Yeah.
Because she obviously knows what she's doing on a couple of things.
That's kind of an action movie, right?
UFC.
Yeah.
I would throw that in there.
So, well, you got the kid stuff.
So I would say it's more like an action drama, sports drama.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But more on the drama and a little less on the sports.
But there were some good fight scenes.
That's cool.
All right.
And that's really all I got this week, aside from our awesome movies that we watched.
Brian?
What you got?
I got one movie and three shows.
talk about the movie we reviewed the trailer and it is Black Friday starring Bruce Campbell
I forgot about that kind of after watching a movie there was like a lot of people that I was
kind of like you look familiar and then I started going on IMDV and the main actress in it
was the little girl from Pan's Labyrinth that Guillermo del Toro movie oh oh
yeah.
It had a bunch of
those kind of actors. You know
you've seen them somewhere, but you don't know
their names.
But as far as the movie,
it was fine. I can't
really say nothing good or nothing bad
about it. It's absolutely
nothing we haven't seen before.
It wasn't zombies.
It was aliens, which was
kind of confusing from watching the trailer.
I thought it had nothing to
do with aliens but
Bruce Campbell was Bruce
Campbell in it Devonsawa did his
thing I really like this
this little Renaissance
we're going through right now
you know
him and he's been in this
Chuckie
like it or hated the fanatic
it was a talked about movie
still is talked about
will be forever
yeah
so I don't know if it's one of
those movies like every
year, you know, for for Black Friday
I'll throw on or for
Thanksgiving or whatever, so
worth the watch.
If you have nothing else to watch.
Oh, man.
Oh, we really hope that would be good.
Yeah, I mean, the
practicals were pretty good in it.
It's just like I said,
I felt like I've seen this story before.
It just takes place in a toy store.
Kind of an alien invasion.
and okay
let's see
still watching gangs of London
still loving that which
somebody
let me know because they had heard the show
and heard that I had mentioned
how they went through like a raid style
fight scene in the bar and then he let
me know that the guy that made the raid movies
is the guy that is the creator of the show
so it makes a lot of sense
yeah
well I got to break down and buy AMC Plus then huh
Yeah, because I think it's exclusive, but I'm sure you can, if you wanted to.
Possibly other means.
Yeah.
Let's see.
Checked out the first episode of this new Netflix show Hellbound.
It's from the guy that directed Last Train to Busan.
Oh, yeah.
We were about to start that one.
Yeah, it's an interesting concept.
Basically, like, people get these visions of somebody telling them.
when and what time they're going to die
and then these like demons show up
and fucking brutally
murder you. They just don't kill you
they have to fucking beat the shit out of you and kill
you. And then
it started as a thing
that nobody really believed in and then it started
happening more often in major
cities and then like there's this religious cult that's
forming because of it and
it's pretty good so far.
Pretty good so far.
Sounds really good. Sounds really good.
man is it American or is it subtitle?
It's dubbed.
Okay.
The dubbing is not too bad. It doesn't bother me.
Can you guys hear all these chickens and ducks and shit in the background?
No, but now that you said it, I'll be...
You're going to hear it now.
Yeah, probably.
Let's see.
Going over to Amazon Prime started the Wheel of Time,
kind of like their, I guess, pre-eastern.
Lord of the Rings show.
Right.
You know, they start
Lord of the Rings next year.
Ah, okay.
I don't know if I'm going to stick with this.
I just, the first
episode didn't catch me.
I got to give it the rule, though.
I got to give it at least two or three episodes,
but there was parts of it I liked, and then
I'm not going to spoil it.
There was somebody, their power settings
were kind of hokey to me.
They seemed a little bit overpowered.
Gotcha.
What?
And it just, it's somebody, I don't want to spoil it, but it just, there was a big battle scene at the end of the first episode that I thought was pretty cool.
And then somebody showed up and just started.
Wrecking house?
Yeah, just the way the power setting was, I was just, I don't know, I thought it was a bit of much.
Yeah, I was just, I was not feeling it.
I was, but, but I'm going to give it a couple more episodes.
I don't know if I'm going to stick with it.
I know it's a popular book series.
Yeah, I've been tempted to read the books by Robert Jordan.
He's a premier fantasy writer.
Somebody told me there's like 14 books.
Yeah, good luck on that one.
But I'll give it a couple more episodes.
Like I said, there was a good battle scene at the end,
and it got kind of brutal and a little bit bloody.
and just one character just kind of bothered me.
It's the main character, too.
So kind of like, do I have to see this character every episode?
I might check it out.
I'm going to watch The Witcher series because I'm reading those books.
The Witcher's awesome.
If I had to compare the two.
Yeah, better.
All right, gotcha.
Yeah, the Witcher's great.
And my cool of the week, we have to be Hawkeye.
First two episodes dropped.
They're starting to dive into some things.
I was wondering if they were going to ever get to when it came to Hawkeye,
because I kind of felt like he wasn't as a prominent character as he should have been.
He was just kind of a side character.
So they're kind of touching on new things with him.
Of course, bringing in Cape Bishop,
who will eventually be the new Hawkeye.
And a lot of stuff from the comic books that they threw.
in the show that always makes me happy, you know,
making more a little bit more comic accurate.
And it's been the first two episodes were pretty good.
Cool.
I have to check that one out, too.
That was another one we were going to start today.
And then my Disney Plus started acting up.
Yeah, very definitely right in time for the Christmas seasons,
very Christmassy episodes.
Yep, that's what I've heard.
So the Halle Berry movie is your cool of the week, Phil?
uh yeah that's the best i can do
is it is it streaming anywhere or just uh yeah
Netflix yeah it's a Netflix yeah it's a Netflix original
all right I'm adding it right now
all right we got any horror headlines
yeah we got a little bit I had to pull some together
it wasn't wasn't a whole lot because of the holidays
but uh I guess we'll start with TV
uh the upcoming alien series it's coming to
FX, Ridley Scott
said the first season
will be between 10 to 13 episodes.
Hmm.
Which is kind of funny to me.
He's dropping news about it when
about a month ago, he said
the show will never be as good as anything
he's ever done.
Uh-oh.
What's his involvement in the show?
He's probably producer.
Yeah. They gave me a huge check.
Yeah, because I know Noah Hawley
is uh he's he's taking full rain on it so which i think a fresh take on it is probably best for the show
that's the that's the guy that does fargo right yeah fargo he did uh what was the other fx show legion
okay yeah i'm sure it's gonna be good then yeah let's see here i don't know the ridley scott
thing worries me because uh last i heard he was talking shit about fans to make excuses for a
that last movie he did fail oh last duel he's blaming the millennials yeah i'm not a millennial
and i didn't want to watch it so i don't know it's on my list eventually but yeah it's not very
appealing i i think what kind of did it for me with the trailer was uh the haircuts for uh ben afflac
and uh matt damon i kind of liked it i kind of enjoyed it
I mean, I don't think about it.
I watch it.
It wasn't a bad movie.
Oh, you did watch it.
No, I said I will watch it.
Yes.
Yeah, it's worth to the theater.
I did go to the theater.
I did go to the theater opening weekend.
It was pretty weird hearing those guys with the accents and then Kyla ran in there.
Oh, they had accents too.
They tried.
They tried kind of like Dracula with Keanu Reeves.
Oh, my gosh.
I might have to.
go watch it now.
Just for that, man.
Check it out.
Okay, let's see.
Roxanne Benjamin is going to direct a
new movie for
epics, which epics
is starting to have a lot
of their own series and movies,
especially in the horror genre.
And she's working with Blumhouse on this
one. And if people don't know who Roxanne
Benjamin is, she's
worked on movies like Body
Brighton Rock, Southbound,
the BHS series,
Creep Show,
that Sabrina series
that was on Netflix, so she's
done a lot of horror stuff.
Okay.
Talked about Devin Sawa earlier.
He is teaming up with
the makers of
the Texas Chainslaw Massacre
for a new movie.
Kind of
keeping the
called the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
I had a better idea, Philip.
Again.
Philip, the Texas Chainsaw moose occur.
They have to do a sequel.
They have to do a sequel.
They will.
They, like just ripping people's faces off and screaming at them.
That'd be great.
He didn't really give a title away of the movie because they had
just recently wrapped filming, but he said, here, let me read what he said.
My character's out in the woods, kidnapping hikers, killing them and rotting their bodies to
feed to this monster.
And I pick up a couple hikers.
It's just the three of us in a bunker.
It's got a very psychological, my guy's a psychological feel.
My guy's almost like a Kurt's character in Apocalypse now.
Oh, wow.
That's a deep cut.
Yeah.
So, like I said, I pretty much liked almost everything he's been coming out with.
So the only thing that he's come out with that I want to see that I know is going to be bad,
but it's going to be in that so bad it's good, is that a Glenn Danzig movie,
he just did, the vampire movie.
He's in that, too?
Yeah, I think he's the main guy.
Holy fly.
Vampire Western from Glenn Danzig.
Okay.
Might be the one that pushes out of escape room, too.
The Lentbiscuit guy can do a movie.
Let's see.
Dennis Villeneuve, Villeneuve, Villeneuve, however you say his name,
he has confirmed that Fade will be in the sequel for Dune.
Of course, this was the character previously played by Sting.
Oh, yeah.
Is it going to be Sting?
I think it has to be.
How old is he now?
Young enough to still play it, I think.
Yeah, I would think so.
I mean, he's pretty old, but is there an age limit on that guy?
I don't know.
Not Sting.
Yeah.
No age limit on Sting.
Kind of like George Burns.
George Burns was X until he was 100.
All right, and we're going to finish off with some Stephen King news.
We talked about a while ago they were going to do movies based off of his book, If It Bleeds.
Yes.
The first one they're going to do, and they're working with Netflix on this one, is Mr. Harringon's phone.
Did I say that right, Lance?
I think Mr. Harrigan's.
Harrigins.
That's right, yep.
This is being developed by American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy.
They're working with Blumhouse on this, and it is going to be directed by John Lee Hancock.
And we got some casting news for it.
Donald Sutherland will play Mr. Harrigan.
Great casting.
And Jaden Martell, everybody remembers him.
He was Young Bill, and then he was the...
How did Daniel Craig put his character?
character in Knives Out, the
Nazi kid
masturbating in the bathroom. Oh, shit.
That kid, okay.
All right. He
is also joined the cast, so.
Interesting. It's a good
story. I wouldn't call it necessarily
horror. I mean, it has horrific
elements to it, but it's more of a
human story, you know?
Yeah. I believe
this is the first of
what I'm trying to remember.
I think it was three movies that
going to make out of this book?
Makes sense.
And then there's actually a sequel to,
what was the one that came out on HBO last year?
It was 10 episodes.
Oh, uh, Body Switcher.
Oh, damn it.
Yeah, there's a sequel to that.
The outsider.
Yes, the outsider.
It's different characters, but it's one character that was in the outsider as well as the
Mr. Mercedes books.
Yeah.
Well, we might get another season of that, just not on HBO.
Mr. Mercedes?
No, the outside.
It was one of those shows that was
well-received and popular,
and they canceled it.
For some reason, they were canceling all their
shows that people liked.
So, we'll see.
Yeah, not sure where they're going to go after the
way it ended, but we'll see.
And I think that's,
yep, that's all the news.
Very, very slow news week.
It happens, holiday season and all.
But what do we got in the trailer park?
Well, we just talked about epics and Blumhouse,
so we'll talk about their new series called From.
From unravels the mystery of a nightmarish town in middle America
that traps all those who enters.
After the unwilling residents fight to keep a sense of normalcy
and search for a way out,
they must also survive the threats of the surrounding forest.
including a terrifying creature that comes out when the sun goes down.
The only one I recognized in the cast was Harold.
How do you say his name?
Paranoon.
Parano.
Parano.
What else I was saying?
I first remember him back in the day.
He was on Oz.
He was the guy in the wheelchair.
He was in that show, Clause.
Oh, yeah.
Still is.
He was a son's anarchy.
Yes.
He was really big and lost.
Yeah, lost.
He's been in a ton of movies.
Yeah, I know he was in a bunch of stuff, but it was like, hey, I know that guy.
I just didn't remember where.
He's one of those guys.
He's a big name.
I didn't recognize anybody else either.
Yeah.
Which I kind of like that, though.
Yeah, I'm okay with that.
I mean, we were just talking about Matt Damon and Ben Affleck with fucking weird haircuts.
Had they been just.
some dudes you wouldn't even have noticed.
This one looks pretty cool, man.
It's like a lost mix with the vampire one that they did on Netflix.
What's it called?
Oh, damn, my memory.
We don't know horror, guys.
We don't.
And I know what you're talking about it because I think you and me like,
I think we all liked it.
Yeah, it was really good.
But that's sort of, it has that kind of feel to it.
You know, the sort of slow burn, middle of nowhere town,
you have to figure out what's going on as it's happening sort of thing.
Yeah, there was certain, I'm going to watch it.
There were certain parts of it that just kind of hooked me.
The scene where they're just constantly coming to the same point every time they think they're leaving.
Right, right.
The peak my interest.
And then when they were told,
If you want to stay safe, basically just lock your doors and nail your window shut at night and you'll be fine.
Yeah.
Just nail the window shut.
You'll be all right.
Yeah.
Just don't ever go outside at night.
You're good.
So definitely, I haven't really seen lost in it, but from what I do know about it, definitely gave me those vibes.
And, of course, they flashed that on the trailer from the.
makers have lost.
I noticed. Yeah.
Or one of the producers of lost or
something like that.
Yeah. Yeah.
Very, very, very lost.
Very lost vibes.
Like almost too much.
But I kind of got a little
M. Knight Shaman kind of
vibes too. Oh yeah. Definitely.
So.
Maybe they can stick the landing on this one.
Yeah.
Yeah. Hopefully.
This will be coming
out February
20th, so we got a few months.
But I think I'll be tuning in at least for the first couple episodes to see what it, see what it is.
But it looks like it'll be good, though.
Yeah, it sounds like it'll be worth sticking around for.
Yeah, I hope it's heavy on the mystery because I like those shows.
I'm sure it will be.
It looks like it is.
All right, that's it.
All right.
On to listener feedback.
This week, the podcast spotlight shines on binge aftertaste on bingemedia.com.
Our friend Garrett Collins, Matthew Goodrow, and Adam Bunch jump into Talk About the Shining.
Two books into this whole Stephen King retrospective, though it is in fact the third book, and we might have hit the plateau.
The Shining has an interesting set of distinctions in the author's bibliography.
It remains one of the author's most popular books among readers, yet the original film adaptation has sparked more debate than anything that has ever been adapted.
Is it a question of Stanley Kubrick taking the novel's content and changing them in the name of the author?
Yes.
Who Kubrick called a brat?
Or is it really one of the scariest movies ever made, and King's shot shots at it unwarranted?
Listen in as myself, Matt and Adam rejoin the answer to some of this debate.
Listen on bingemedia.com or wherever you get your podcast.
Be sure to search for the binge aftertaste.
Yes, and they're also jumping in with the Ghostbusters retrospective.
I think they've already got the first one up and then they're going to move on, I think, to Dr. Sleep next.
I love Dr. Sleep.
I need to watch that one again.
Yeah, I've rewatched it.
I really liked it on the rewatch.
Did you love the Kubrick Shining?
Oh, I love the Shining.
But I've never read the book from what I understand.
It's one of the most well-loved movies, but one of the worst adaptations ever.
Depends on how you consider a bad adaptation, you know?
Yeah, sometimes you've got to change things for the movie, you know?
Yeah, a good movie is a good movie.
movie, right? Yeah. Definitely.
There's so many iconic scenes
from that movie, so
they cast
the perfect person, Jack Nicholson,
because that guy's a fucking
psycho.
Yeah.
I don't forever be his best part.
Yeah, he pulled it off.
I do like, what's her name in it?
Shelly Duvall.
Yeah. Yeah. Because I
they did
so much they fuck with her so much on that she had to she had to get counseling after the movie was
over yeah right but she played a great olive oil mm-hmm sure damn i didn't see that movie in
years uh let's see regarding hellbound uh rob for us says trailer looks really good how is it
so far it's holding up pretty good and from what i understand it's one of the highest rated
Netflix shows right now on Rotten Tomatoes.
I will say the CGI on the Demons is kind of eh.
Yeah.
But it doesn't take you out, though.
Yeah, I saw the first scene.
I'm kind of excited to get back to it, though.
It sort of sucked me in.
I'm excited about it.
All right, regarding death to metal, Anthony E. Barris says this one was fun.
Nice.
Well, yet another podcast is covering blood rage.
It's the I Like It Spooky podcast.
Brian J. Godsell.
Thanks for sharing.
Oh, God.
A lot of, a lot of podcasts cover that at this one.
Yeah.
A lot of blood rage this year, huh?
This is blood rage or thanks killing.
And, of course, Marcy chimed in because they just covered it over there.
She said, we did this as well, even though none of us on our
shows are from the U.S.
And I think they talk some shit about us in there somewhere along the way, so you may
want to give that a listen.
They took a lot of shit about us.
It was a coincidence.
We were doing blood rage.
It was on 2B.
Thanksgiving.
What are you going to do?
And we recorded it on a Monday.
It wasn't a Tuesday.
And we gave them credit for the 2B Tuesday thing.
so.
All right.
Marcy also says
Not a very good look
into Thanksgiving in America.
You have to see Black Friday.
Mike Bachelor says
there's a lot of blood rage going on
apparently.
That's true.
Yeah.
For sure.
Like Ghostbusters too, man.
That ooze comes in and it just makes people
fucking crazy.
It's not cranberries.
I was.
Let's see
And of course the evolution of horror posts
This isn't cranberry sauce

It's awesome.
And now we'll move on to our featured attractions.
This week, we go back to 1987.
And since it's a part two,
we figured we'd make sense to cover some sequels.
So it's House 2, the second story.
That's a great title.
I know.
And goolies two.
Hella good.
According to this.
All right.
We're going to start with house two, though, which is called trash.
Jesse moves into his biological parents' house with his girlfriend, Kate.
And soon he hosts his friend Charlie with his girlfriend.
Jesse reads old documents and decides to go to the local cemetery with Charlie to unbury his great-great-grandfather to seek out an ancient powerful Aztec skull.
They reanimate Gramps that soon befriends Jesse and Charlie, but demons cross gateways into the house to retrieve the magic skull,
and Jesse and Charlie need to go to the other dimensions to retrieve the skull and keep Gramps alive.
Yes, it's that crazy.
The writer and rector is
Ehan Wiley
Also known for Elfman and Children of the Cord
I think that's supposed to be corn
Okay I thought so
And Children of the Corn 5
Fields of Terror
I was like is that like a knockoff
Is it like the porn version of Children of the Corn
To aid the promotion of this movie
A number of giveaways were
A giveaway items were sent to theaters
These included Crystal Skull Nightlights and Catter Puppy figurines.
There was a cat.
So,
So Spielberg ripped this off, huh?
Probably.
Devin DeVasquez, who plays the girl rescued from the Aztec Temple,
is a former Playboy centerfold.
Yes, she was.
I'm guessing not a virgin.
They were maybe sacrificing the wrong person in this one.
Yeah, there was never confirmation.
All right, Lance, what did you think about House 2?
Is it trash or hell of good?
It's not trash.
It's a fun movie, man.
I don't know why Nez would give a 10 to Goolies 2 and give this like a
I guess we could say he gave it a zero, right?
I mean, trash is trash.
I don't want to keep it around.
Yeah, maybe for Ness a 9.5, huh?
Anything other than 10?
If you ain't first or last.
Aye.
No, man, this was a lot of fun.
I watched it last night, in fact.
And I don't know, man.
I thought, like everybody in it was recognizable,
but obviously it was kind of funny watching
Bill Maher show up
as the, what the hell was
Bill Maher? Like just a
was he like a talent
scout or something like that?
I think, executive maybe? Yeah, I think
Okay.
Uh, his, uh, Jesse's girlfriend
and Bill Maher, they work
for us like some kind of record company
or talent agency or something.
Gotcha. That's why
he was always wearing the pink skinny tie, huh?
Yeah, he was such a dick
in this movie.
he always is you guys ever seen cannibal women in the avocado jungle of death
i was gonna bring that up because i it's it's on amazon prime and i i see a commentary coming
because we we've talked about that movie so many times on this show and yeah yeah it was
i don't know i thought it was a fun movie i mean was it cheesy yeah it was pretty
Jesus.
Yeah, they dug up the grave.
Some things happened that were like, okay, well, why were they digging up the grave to get the skull, right?
Yeah, because of how much money they thought it was going to be worth, because they were saying,
he was reading that article, and he was comparing skulls, and the one in the picture with his grandpa,
had jewels in the eyes.
Okay.
So they thought they were just going to get paid.
Kind of like a Goonies treasure hunt adventure, huh?
Yeah, except desecrating somebody's grave.
Right.
It turned out to be his grandfather, or great-grandfather, I guess, right?
And then he comes out with that mask on.
And I'm like, what is this some kind of fucking weird creature with pretty bad special effects?
Then he rips it off and he's like, well, you old scalywags, you dug up my grave.
I swear, I'm going to hunt you down like an old rat.
raccoon and make a cap out of your boys, you know.
He's like an old prospector.
Yeah, over the top prospector.
I recognize that actor.
I can't think of what else he's been in.
Royal Dano.
He's been in a lot of stuff, right?
Yeah, like gooies too.
Yeah, I was going to say he was the guy.
Let's see.
He had a busy year.
Yeah, he's been acting before.
Yeah, he's passed.
away now, but a career
spanning almost 50 years, so
Wow.
Let's not pretend it took more than a month to film
either one of these movies.
True. Yeah, true enough, man.
But yeah, no,
I don't know. I've said that fun,
you know, cheesy 80s nostalgia,
the special effects with the claymation and stuff like that.
Then when they go into the one room and it's like dinosaurs.
Oh, they went to a prehistoric age.
That was my favorite part.
That barbarian is in the title or not title in the cast he's labeled as Arnold the barbarian
Yes
Is he a wrestler? He looks like a wrestler
The only thing I recognized him from you guys you guys seen the running man
Yeah he was Buzzsaw
Oh okay
Uh huh
That's the only thing I'm off top of my head
Gotcha yeah it's
I don't know, man.
It was, I don't, I don't know why Nez hates it so much.
I wish we had him on the whole show so we could find out what happened.
But, I don't know.
I had, I didn't have a big problem with it.
You know, I kind of consider it sort of like a horror comedy, you know, heavy on the comedy, really, really light on the horror.
Maybe, maybe that was his problem.
Maybe that maybe Nez was hoping it'd be scarier.
But fuck, the first one, I mean, remember when he ran out of it?
that front door with the AK-47 or whatever.
And I mean, that wasn't to be taken too seriously either.
So, and you're right, Brian, it's like a perfect title, you know, the second story.
You know, maybe they'll do, yeah, if that had kept going, they could have had, you know, House 3, the high-rise.
Oh, House.
House 3 has nothing to do with any of these movies.
Yeah, it seems like they don't have anything to do with each other.
What was House 3 about?
House 3, I think it was, it's weird because I,
I own the movie.
It's kind of like a shocker kind of knockoff,
but it has nothing to do with the series.
So I think it was only by name.
But then part four is actually a direct sequel from part one
because they bring back,
what's his name,
Greatest American Hero.
Yeah,
Greatest American Hero.
That's his name.
Yeah, they bring him back for the fourth one.
And they don't even recognize that too happened.
It's a weird.
franchise.
It was fun, man.
I'm not going to, I guess we're not going to do scores yet, but I'm not going to give it a trash.
That's for sure.
Brian, what do you think?
Okay.
This is probably going to piss people off, but I actually like this one more than the first
one because this is the one I grew up with.
This was always on like TBS or TNT.
It was always on cable, like constantly.
I don't ever remember.
seeing it. Yeah, that's that's my memory of it, of it always like every time I turn,
turn, you know, just to put something on, it was, it was always on.
I've seen it before a couple of times.
I think it's just a fun movie. I mean, you, you get a little bit of everything, get a
little bit of horror, a little bit of comedy, western, you know, and it's a little bit of
everything kind of mixed up, and I just, I just like the, I like the, I like
the house, you know, you like, there's different little dimensions in each room.
You know, you got a prehistoric age.
You got a fucking Aztec temple through a fucking wall in the living room.
And I fucking, even though they're fucking cheesy as hell, I like the puppets,
the little teradactal and the fucking catter puppy.
I fucking wanted one when I was a kid.
Yeah, it was kind of a cute, gross little thing, huh?
Yeah, the Aztec version.
question mark i thought i thought she was hella sexy um jesse you know i thought he was fine uh charlie he
looked like kind of fucking like jim carrie and chevy chase had a baby and it was charlie
he he was like the comedy relief which i i never even put the two together but he was
uh the one guy billy from uh fright night jerry the vampire's little that's right that's right
familiar. Yeah, I never
had all these years of watching those movies
put it together, but
yeah, same guy. Royal Dano
as Gramps. I liked him.
He was fun. And I just,
Bill Maher was a fucking dick as soon as he saw
Jesse talking to some other girl. He was like,
oh, come here, I need to tell you something. I was like,
he had fucking asshole.
The other girl was pretty hot.
Bill Maher was still a fucking dick.
and I would have
clearly went with the girl dressed as the maid
than the fucking bitchy
girlfriend he already had because
I don't know
she was and it was
it was so weird
for him to inherit this
fucking giant house and then she's just
kind of like complaining the whole
time
he just inherited a mansion
and you are complaining about it
Mm-hmm.
Amant to
with extra dimensions.
Yeah, which she never got to see them, so.
Wow.
And then John Ratzenberger, man.
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
Cheers.
Oh, Philip, is that the kind of electrician?
You are?
That was my favorite character.
Yeah, he was my favorite character in this because of that.
He was the electrician.
He comes in.
Do you have a business car?
This is electrician and adventurers.
I'm getting one now
Here's your problem right here
You got another dimension behind you all
He's so memorable in this movie
Because he's just a electrician
But then you know
He's just not shocked that there's another dimension
Through the wall
And of course he has a fucking
You know, let me let me take care of it
Of course he has a sword in the toolbox
And he was like oh
There's a right tool for every job
And I'll
I like the scene where they're rushing out.
And he's like, oh, just leave without me.
I got this.
And then when they get back, he's already out.
He's like, I was wondering when you guys were going to get here.
Jeez, he is an adventurer.
Yeah, definitely putting that on a business card.
Nobody's going to get it.
But I will.
They will.
They'll be old fans in the movie that'll get it.
And it was a Halloween movie too, right?
It took place around Halloween.
So you got all the costumes.
This would be a good 31 days of horror every year.
Yeah, Kane Hodder was the guy in the gorilla costume.
No shit.
Yeah, he was, I think he did stunt work in this movie.
And I guess they just are like, oh, you're doing stunt work.
You want to just be in a fucking random, yeah, random scene.
He was just like, hell yeah.
Well, I know Gil Birmingham, he's a pretty popular actor now.
He's got a huge role in the Yellowstone TV show.
Apparently his first role was as one of the Aztec warriors.
I didn't recognize him that this is.
a long time ago.
So he's a really big name that I guess got to start in this from what I hear.
Yeah.
It makes sense that Kane Hodder's in this because this movie's produced by Sean S. Cunningham,
who, of course, did the first original night or not nightmare now.
I was trying to cuss me out on the Friday the 13th.
We knew what you meant, man.
Yeah.
He said Kane Hodder.
And there's another some, there's another, oh, Lark.
LAR Park, Lincoln.
I think she was the actress who played the maid,
or the girl dressed as the maid.
Oh, man.
She's also in a Friday of 13th movie, so.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, she can be with that feather dust or any day.
Yeah.
Yeah, he clearly chose wrong.
But then he made up with the Aztec Princess Virgin.
Yeah, he was getting off action.
Yeah, okay, that's definitely an upgrade.
And I just like how it ended, you know, he just chose to go to the West because he's a murderer now because they think he fucking murdered the captain of the police force.
And I liked that.
Yeah, that was a strange ending to a movie, huh?
Yeah.
It was a strange ending.
And some of the effects were kind of hokey, but I just liked that.
I like the whole thing with the Gramps and what was the guy, Slim Razor.
You know, that Western aspect to it, I just kind of like that.
I kind of like the design of that guy.
Slim Razor?
Yeah, he's like zombie Yosemite Sam.
Yeah, I like the way he looked, but when he came riding in him at horse, though, that
the skeleton horse.
Wasn't that last scene where the once upon a time,
in Hollywood took place where Charles Manson
was hiding it. Was that the same
Oh, Spano
Ranch? Or you mean
the house? You mean the house?
No, I thought the ranch,
like the very last scene.
Oh, really? Again, but I could swear.
Yeah, I could swear
that that's the same, you know, lot
in Los Angeles that was
featured in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
It could be. They filmed
a lot of movies there.
Yeah, and the house looked familiar.
too. I don't know if it's been in any other movies, but
it looked really familiar.
Yeah, so, and like I said, I'm a fan of this,
maybe more so than other people are probably going to be like,
what the fuck are you talking about? But it just, as a kid,
and just to have that many different kind of aspects, like I said,
the Western, the horror, the action, the comedy,
just, it was a little bit of everything. And just,
loved it since I was a kid
Okay, I stand
corrected. It was Paramount
Ranch and that was heavily used
in HBO's Westworld but was
destroyed in a fire a couple of years ago.
Aren't they always destroyed in a fire?
Seems that way, doesn't it?
Yeah, when California, it sure is.
Seems like when they're done using it,
it gets destroyed.
Somebody's getting a check.
Just like those
rides in Universal Studios when they want they were talking about changing them they mysteriously caught on fire
hmm that's interesting uh yeah man i you know and i thought you guys were gonna think i was crazy
for saying this but i kind of enjoyed this movie man it was it really was a lot of fun i like the
whole crystal skull aspect of it um which i've done acroyd is surprisingly well versed on crystal skull
Yeah, you've got to listen to him and talk about it.
It's great.
He based his bottle of tequila on a crystal stone.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I think they all turned out to be bullshit, but it's fun to think about it anyway.
Fun stuff.
Yeah.
And I like that it was really kind of just an adventure movie.
Yeah, like they raise Gramps from the dead, and he's there hanging out,
and then they have to stop people from other timeframes
that are trying to get the crystal skull.
And that whole dinosaur scene was great.
Pewee's playhouse, huh?
Yeah.
He's like climbing up the tree and getting a hold of that bird
that's trying to swing at it.
It was pretty fucking fun.
And the whole movie's ridiculous.
It's completely retarded.
But it's fun.
And I had a blast watching it, you know?
So I was happy.
Sounds like three, not trance.
Well, especially, because I watched the goolies too first, and we'll get to that one.
We'll get to that one.
All right.
Scores, Lance, what do you think?
Oh, I'll go seven out of ten.
It was a fun movie.
It was cheese.
but it was fun cheese.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's definitely one of those that would be a good, you know, Halloween movie to watch with a group of drunken friends or whatever.
You know, I love the way that they had all the, they had the Halloween party going on.
Did you see, did you guys see the Batman?
Yeah, yeah.
See, I thought just that alone would have had Nez give it a 10 because you know how much Nez loves Adam West Batman.
See, and it seems like it needs to revisit.
Yeah, it does, doesn't it?
It seems like a Nez movie.
what do you think turned him off
you think he got pissed off about the crystal skull thing
because he thinks maybe they
they went forward in time and stole it from Spielberg
or what? No, I think he has more love
for the original and this one's a complete
kind of left turn from that one
he was mad that the greatest American hero didn't show up
yeah you know you probably wanted him to show up
you know, with that sweet, fucking low-cut v-neck sweater he was wearing.
That's what it was.
Yep, I think we figured it out.
Mystery solved.
Brian, what do you think?
I'm going to go a little bit higher and give it a seven and a half,
just based off everything Lance said, it's a fun movie,
and it's very nostalgic for me.
And like I said, I always wanted a caterper puppy.
I don't know what kind of mess that thing makes, man.
It seems kind of gross.
But it seems fun.
It drinks beer.
Well, that's true.
Yeah, right.
He had to cut him off.
He said, you had enough, our nation.
Well, you're the one who put it in a fucking bottle and gave it to him.
Jesus.
Come on.
Gramps seem fun.
Yeah.
He's like, you ever robbed a stage coach?
I was, I robbed a bunch of them.
Oh, yeah.
Let me tell you these stories.
All kinds of stories.
And it kept saying, you'll be sure to bring back some beer.
I don't know if they ever did.
Hey, did y'all notice they knocked over that
mailbox or whatever or that post
that stone post in front of the house three different times
and three different people showed up.
They would, I guess, rebuild it
and somebody else would run into it.
See it, I like that. I thought that was funny.
Good running gag, right?
Yeah. All right.
I'm going to go,
I think I can give it a legit seven,
and this was a really fun movie.
It wasn't good by any means, but it was really fun.
And I enjoyed watching it.
It held my attention.
Nice.
Not a lot more than that.
Yeah.
All right.
On to Goolies, too.
Hella good.
And here we go.
The Goolies wreak havoc at an amusement park at an amusement park.
Disposing of those.
who make mistake them for fairground attractions director is Albert band also known for
Dracula's dog and dog portrait yes he is Charles Band's father writer is Dennis Paoli
also known for reanimator and from beyond well well probably better than
Dracula's dog
This film and its predecessor were caught in a moral panic in the 80s,
accusing the popular culture of endorsing and glamorizing witchcraft,
the occult and Satanism.
Uh-oh.
The night scenes of the carnival were actually shot on an interior soundstage in Rome
with rented off-season equipment.
Most of the extras only spoke Italian.
Oh, interesting.
Lance, what did you think about goolies?
Was it hella good?
Uh, it wasn't hella good.
It was fun. I actually, I think I preferred house too a little bit more, but I don't know, man. I can't complain too much, man. I'm a sucker for anything that's at a carnival or an amusement park or something like that. It's no Child's Play 3, that's for sure. Because you didn't get that crazy, bizarre roller coaster scene that was, there's no way a roller coaster could act that way due to something called physics.
I didn't know that when I was a kid
It was awesome
Nah
We didn't know when we were kids
It was a somewhat fun movie
I definitely liked to pay off
In the bathroom scene
Which uh oh
I think Spielberg stole that for Jurassic Park
You know they
They added that scene after the fact
Did they really?
Yeah because I guess somebody said
You know why why is a ghouly
In a toilet on the poster
But it doesn't happen in a movie
And they went, shit, we did forget about that one.
Totally forgot.
It was definitely cheesier than House, too, for sure.
I mean, there's no doubt in my mind about that.
But it wasn't terrible.
I mean, you know, like I said, there was a lot of things that I liked about it.
The dancing girls were kind of funny.
And the dude that was pimping them out for the show, I'm sure they were.
Was that her dad?
I think so.
That's weird.
I think he would send them behind the tent for like 10 extra dollars.
Maybe you could get a blowjob or something like that.
What?
Did that?
Well, money's money, dude.
A Carney's life is tough, you know?
Probably happens more than you would think.
Probably a lot more.
I'm not going to say it was terrible.
You know, it's kind of like house too, you know, not a masterpiece, but,
I had a certain amount of fun watching it.
I'm curious what you guys have to say.
All right.
Brian, what do you think?
This is another one that kind of holds a nostalgic place for me
because just like House 2, this was always on TV.
Yeah, I definitely saw this one.
It's another one that I have to say I like better than the original.
Because I think the design of the demons, the puppets for them,
I think they were a lot better, a lot better than the original one.
It was a little step up from this, from the first one.
We got Royal Dano again.
This time is not Gramps, but he's Uncle, Uncle Ned.
Right.
I liked Sir Nigel, the little guy.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, he was great.
He's been in a lot of stuff, too.
Yeah.
and I thought it was fun.
I agree with you, Lance.
The whole carnival kind of setting.
It's a great setting for a horror movie, definitely.
Always, yeah.
You guys have seen The Fun House, right?
Yeah, I think we did that one.
Oh, we did.
We covered for the show.
Yeah, like 10 years ago.
A long time ago.
It'll be up for a re-upload here pretty soon, I'm sure.
courtesy of
you know i mean courtesy of a certain music group
yeah
but yeah i just think it was fun
you know just just these little
little demons you know
killing people
uh for some reason the the one scene
just whenever i think about this movie it always
sticks out when he
i don't know which demon it was
gets the the couple stuck together
which rewatching it yeah which rewatching it i don't he's got one hand stuck on her boo but his other
hands free but he never moves it he didn't move the whole time at first i was like why are they still
kissing what is going on yeah i some serious super blue yeah i do wish there was a a little bit more
kills in it which i from what i understand i don't own it but uh i guess uh this
There's scenes that were put back into the movie on the Blu-ray because they cut some scenes out because, I think, for rating purposes.
For the moral panic.
Like the toilets.
The toilets.
Oh, the moral panic.
Yeah.
From what I understand there, there was more gore and, like, limbs cut off and all kinds of stuff like that that they took out of the movie.
Oh, that would have made it better.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's the version we need, right?
and we get another
great casting for a role
I don't know the actor's name
but the guy that played the
young guy that owned the
carnival
yeah right great great casting
because that guy seemed like he used a fucking dick
in real life
the guy to get he gets it in the end
on the toilet
yeah
well Bill Mark could have played that part
pretty easily right
yeah definitely
Yeah.
But it's just nostalgic for me, and I had a lot of fun on this rewatch with this one.
All right.
I'm going to go to the opposite, man.
I think this movie was hell of trash.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
This was dog shit, man.
This is one of those moments where I feel a disturbance in the forest.
I love it.
For some reason, Nez, he is just having a good time.
and all of a sudden he just stopped.
And it was just like, what is that I'm feeling right now?
Like, I mean, okay, the special effects were bad,
but that's kind of part of the draw to it, you know?
Okay.
I guess.
And, you know, I always like the puppets.
I don't know why they always make the same fucking,
wham-ma-na-w-na-na-noises, but.
There seem to be one that could kind of talk.
Yeah.
Like, I noticed it on this.
rewatch, like when the hole gets
created in the wall so they can get out of the
whatever little fun
house they were in.
And it's like, wow.
Well, I mean, like in every
movie, they did it in house too also.
It's like anytime there's a puppet
coming around, it's
what do you make that noise?
And
but the acting
was
fucking terrible
on top of that.
Was it that bad?
It was pretty fucking bad.
Outside of Royal
Dano, the only guy I recognize
is William Butler.
He's in Texas Chainsaw Masker
3 and the Nightmare
Nighting Dead remake,
the Thompsonini one.
Yeah.
I recognize the little guy.
Yeah.
Him and then the guy that gets stuck
to his girlfriend. I've seen him in a bunch of
movies.
I mean, okay, that was
It was kind of funny
There's a little bit of a draw to that kind of stuff
You know, that guy, oh, my tunes, man, I lost my tunes
Oh, that guy was such a bitch
He's supposed to be this fucking tough guy
With his, I'm doing air quotes gang
Yeah
Because he fucking had a nerdy guy with him
Which was the William Butler character
With his fucking vest on
I didn't get there a little crew.
I didn't either.
The first thing he does is go and tell the police.
Yeah.
I'm like, what kind of hoods are you guys supposed to be?
And then the police officer is just like, oh, I know these kids, but I don't know you.
And I'm like, oh, so you know the police?
Like you, what do you run and tell every time?
My tunes.
Shut up.
Yeah.
But like the main girl that's in it, she's awful.
Yeah.
And everything.
She's awful.
She can't close her mouth or something, man.
She didn't.
Smiling in every scene when she's supposed to be scared or something.
Was it me or did she seem like she was way older than she was supposed to be?
Yes.
Yeah.
I was thinking that the whole time I was like, man, she does not.
look like she's at all even close to his age.
Yeah, because he looked like he can, at the oldest could be like early 20s, like 21, 22,
but she looked like she was like 35.
Yeah.
Yeah, drugs are bad.
And then the, like all the, I guess they're extras, I don't know,
like the little kids that came in and stuff, who I actually recognized at least one of them.
yeah he you ever see night of the demons yeah okay he's the one that for some he has that weird
scene where he was just like oh bodacious boobie sis like you fucking weird out
that is kind of weird hey these movies are fucking weird man
like he i love that movie but that kid there's like two or three scenes where he's just
talking about his sister's tits for some reason yeah
Oh, great.
That's Hollywood.
You're only like my sister because she's got big chachos.
But every time they had to, like, stand in front of the goolies and, like, it was just a crowd of people, and they would all yell their specific line over and over or whatever.
And they're, yeah, all right.
You know, it was.
Like, evil dies tonight?
Yeah, I mean, yeah, evil dies tonight.
I do like the scene where they got the guy
in the guillotine and the other guys
strapped to the table and everybody's just like,
yeah, this is great.
And the guy's just like, you fucking kids,
this is real.
Why don't they have a real guillotine
and a carnival?
That's what I want to know.
Yeah, now that you bring it up,
they had actual blades on them,
but everything else was fake in a carnival.
Well, I'm sure that was probably fake too.
but it never actually got to fall on his head so we didn't see
we don't know for sure right
yeah that should have happened
I know and that's how the crowd should have found out
that it that is real
I wanted to see that man
we got robbed maybe that's what pissed
Ness off huh oh wait
Nes loved this one right that's what Piss
Phillip yeah he loved this one
now I'm interested
I'm not
I kind of understand how it's too
but I want to know what his thoughts on Goolies too is I really am curious
Yeah like what makes it in the 10 right
Oh yeah no hesitation on that 10
Yeah this this conversation's not over right
He probably hadn't seen it in 30 years
I'm sure he has
But yeah man
And then like he kills him with a
They wrap a Molotov cocktail that they made just on the fly somehow.
Right.
Stuffed in a gorilla suit.
And then the main ghouly thing explodes.
I was like, I don't think that's how that works.
It doesn't make a lot of sense, does it?
No.
Yeah, I didn't, yeah, if you summon the big demon, the big googly, why don't you just send them back?
seems like it would be a good idea
I mean it seemed
a lot easier to
read the book again instead of
coming up with this elaborate
bomb
inside of a gorilla suit
and apparently this
this demon doesn't know what other demons look like
yeah because he just eats everybody
he's going after Sir Nigel he was like
oh you're little you must be a demon
oh there's a
gorilla with the stick of dynamite in his mouth
and or whatever.
Right out of his eye.
I'm going to go, let me eat that.
Hey.
Humans aren't very smart.
Yeah.
Philip, it seems like you're starting to sell me and Brian a little bit.
Well, I mean, you know, it is a dumb movie.
And I guess I can understand, like, nostalgia and stuff.
But, like, to say that Gouis is better than House 2 is beyond me.
I don't understand that.
I had a hard time paying attention to this one.
because it was so bad.
Oops, that's not a good sign.
Was this a full moon feature, guys?
Because it was banned and...
When it was Empire.
Okay.
All right, so this was just before we went over to full moon, right?
Yeah, technically same thing, but they hadn't got the name yet.
Okay.
Which I think I read a story.
They don't own the rights to these movies because he sold them to get money
because at the time they were losing money.
and I think that's how full moon came about.
Well, imagine that, Philip.
They were losing money.
How much could this movie have possibly cost to make?
Not that much.
Well, I mean, yeah, and then you got the sequels,
because I know part three is goleys go to college.
Well, and cocaine.
That's always the general.
Yeah, I'm about to say, I guarantee you.
Well, probably 50% of the budget went to get them all to Italy,
and then 40% went to cocaine.
and then whatever we're with it 10% right?
I mean, if you're writing a script that's seriously called Goolies Go to College,
I mean, there's got to be some drugs involved.
Oh, yeah.
You think?
Maybe some keg stands.
All right.
Scores.
Lance, what do you think about gooies?
Six and a half.
It was fun.
Not a 10?
I had fun with it.
Yeah, six and a half.
No, six and a half out of ten, but not a ten.
But, uh, so see, I gave house, house two a little bit higher score.
So there.
All right.
Brian?
Yeah, I think four.
I bring us down.
Uh, yeah, I'll bring us a little bit of, uh, seven.
And it's all based on nostalgia.
Yeah, I do wish I owned this movie, but the, the, the, the Blu-ray came out.
It was like a double feature.
Goolies one and two.
And it's, it's out of,
print and I'm not I'm not paying
those kind of prices
I can see that yeah
but I heard some
Vestron owns the
series and they
put out a lot of collectors editions
so I'll take a box set
for a reasonable price
yeah
don't don't send one to
Phil no
I don't plan on ever watching this movie
again
send Phil Vestron if you're here and send
him the steel book collector's edition
I
can see where this sort of falls
into the so bad that it's good category
but man it
it tried and missed
the mark for me
yeah I'd be pretty
happy if I never have to see gooies
too in my life
I'm gonna give it to
oh you Phil you just wait
you just wait till go to college
oh man well now that I'm interested
it in.
Does Rodney Dangerfield show up, though?
Yeah, I have not seen
Goolies since.
I don't even remember the last.
I might have seen it once.
Goalys
Goalies.
Come on.
Maybe I watched this one first, and it sort
of set the tone for me.
Because I expected
House 2 to be every bit as bad as this, if not
worse. It was all up
from here. Yeah, because
I'd never seen House 2 before.
When I watched that, I was like, oh, this is a fun movie coming off of gooly.
So, I mean, that may have raised my house two score, but it dropped my gooies two score.
So, I mean, I don't know.
Maybe I just wasn't ready for this level of suck.
We do.
We do still have the year in horror 1990 coming up, Brian.
Oh, the 90s.
There's going to be some choices on there.
All right.
I'm sure most of them involved.
Ned Campbell.
That was more late 90s, I guess.
We might be able to sneak
wild things in there.
Oh.
That was like a thriller.
That was a thriller, huh?
Yeah, close enough.
That one's hell of good.
All right.
Any last words on goolies?
No.
I think you nailed it.
You put the final nail in the coffin on that one, man.
Yeah, and I'm not the one.
usually shit on movies, but
well, this one kind of
had it coming.
Oh, my tunes.
Well, look at it this way,
if Philip goes to take a shit on this movie,
there's going to be a gooly in the toilet.
That's so weird
they had to add that in.
That is weird.
Well, why is it on the cover?
I think it happens in the first one, right, Lance?
I don't know. I don't think so.
I don't think he died.
Darren,
Wilson, you're listening,
can tell us,
remind us,
because you picked this one earlier.
So,
Goulies won.
So was there a toilet scene?
I don't think so.
Well,
I think the,
the poster is just one ghouly
on the toilet.
Right.
And then in the third
when I'm looking at it
right now,
it's three ghoulies.
I was wearing a graduation,
college graduation.
Well,
you know,
I remember that about Gullies.
I think I remember that about Gullies.
It was,
I was like,
why is the cover like this?
Because it has nothing
to do with the movie.
I remember that.
It's all a rip-off of Gremlins, right?
Yeah, I remember we did that episode.
I think we did what we did goolies and munchies.
Yes.
Boy.
Only the best for you guys.
Hey, I don't know anybody else I was reviewing
monkeys.
That's true.
No, it's not like, it's no blood rage.
Is it?
We hit the deep cuts.
All right.
I suppose that wraps it up for today.

We got through on without talking about wrestling.
Wrestling returns, episode coming.
We've got to talk about the last pay-per-view, and, of course, we've got to talk about the
fan on Monday Night Raw that wrestling was a little bit too real from him,
and he had to jump to barricade and attack one of the rest of the game.
what that's great man
this is why
you guys watch wrestling huh
hey
it wasn't
tell that guy what was going on
I
I think that guy was just crazy
because he claimed to be related to other
wrestlers and he was doing it for the know
which is weird because
the guy he attacked is not in a storyline
with any of those wrestlers
he had a nice takedown though
good double like takedown
really
that's kind of awesome
but fans
don't do that
because you
you jump the barricades
or jumping to the ring
they have free reign to just
beat your ass
they should
realistically
they probably get sued for it
but they should have free reign to be
oh I don't I don't think they're
liable
you don't think you jump in the ring to
attack somebody, I think
you're, yeah.
I've seen wrestlers beat the shit
out of people that jumped in the ring.
As well they should.
As well they should.
Like streakers at soccer games.
But Brian, I
see no evil, hear no evil episode. You guys said
you're going to do every other week or something like that?
Yeah.
Just me and Ness got a lot of stuff going on
with family and, you know, we
he does East Society and
McNiz and you know we got the horror returns so
you're not going to get stream
fiends in action every week
both shows are going to be every other week
so you'll get one show one week and then
the next the next week
make it a little bit easier
all right there's our wrestling returns
tiny segment segmented
but next week it's our special
Patreon commentary for Sean Henry
with clerks two
And Tavares, we'll get you back on, man.
I am so sorry.
I'm pretty sure that was my fuck up or Skype's fuck up or something.
I'm going to go with Skype.
Yeah, we'll fix it.
And you can pick the movies.
It'll be great.
I'll open it from here.
Sorry, man.
But until the horror returns again, Brian.
Good night.
