Hey, this is Tom Atkins.
If you want to throw me, you've got to listen to the horror returns.
Ooh.
Greetings, 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 whole.
One at all to the horror returns.
I'm Lance, and with me as always are my co-host, Kevin, Brian, and Phillip.
How's it going, guys?
So we got the band back together.
You beat me to it.
It's nice.
Nice to be back.
Appreciate you guys taking care of business last week.
I left my ass off on the waxwork.
Talk to the kind of wheelchair with a cardboard tank.
And he was
ready for battle
Oh man
Nez, what's your rating?
Hold on.
Was there more than one?
Waxworth?
Yeah, it's two.
Okay.
Oh, okay.
I've only seen the first one.
I actually saw that one in the theater.
From what I remember,
just to be safe, I'll go seven.
Yeah, I think that's what we gave it.
Is that the last time you saw it?
in like 1980 or whatever?
Well, I saw it.
I know I saw it in the theater
and then I saw it on VHS.
Damn, you got a good memory.
That was a long time ago.
I mean, the only reason I really wouldn't seen this
is because Deborah Foreman
from Valley Girl, she was in it.
Right.
I was the only reason I went and seen that.
Oh, is that Billy?
Let's try Billy was in it too from Gremlin's.
Yeah.
You got to watch it for the little.
little dude every time he bows it's like
oh man all right real quick
on um i think his name was
meet mechew i think that was his name
i don't know i thought it was tattoo for a minute
but it's not no i mean i think that was like his real name
he was uh plus he was in like um big top pee we
and a bunch of other films oh he also played um he was alf
in the tv show yeah
um which makes me laugh at him harder
he he scared me when i was a little kid i mean
nothing, nothing against little people, but I was like, when I was younger, when I used to go to, like, Barnum and Bailey to the circus, he always had his own little, his little part in the circus.
Other than, yeah, and here's Mechie, the smallest man in the world.
And he's dancing around when they're bringing out all the animals.
And he's on, he's dancing on top of an elephant or something.
And then he does whatever he does throughout the show.
but I was always
I don't know
though he was always
scary to me
as I was a little kid everyone
I wasn't older to understand
but I was always scared of him
and I remember going
when we were looking at
the little to buy a souvenir
or buy a t-shirt or whatever
there was a poster of him
like a life size poster you could buy
of him hanging there
and I remember staring at it
and I was like oh no I don't think I want that
hanging in my room
but
But, yeah, that, that, when he, I remember when he popped up in it, I was like, whoa, he's in it.
Right.
For like a second, I went back to being a little, little kid, and I went, whoa, it's that guy.
But then I had seen him already in Big Top Peeway, and I liked him in that.
So, but yeah, it was good to see him.
I haven't, yeah, again, I haven't seen this.
I was on Tooby.
I guess I got to watch it again.
But I had not seen it in a real long term.
But I do remember going, oh, it was all right.
I didn't like hate it.
Part two's on 2B2.
I didn't bother with that one.
Is it worth it?
I'd never seen it.
I know what's his name from Gremlin's Billy?
Was it Zach Gallagalligan?
Zach Gala Fanakis?
Yeah.
He's back for it.
He's way funnier.
Yeah, shout out to Nightmare Christy.
He's down there.
Well, he was earlier today.
We're doing this on a Saturday.
he was in Las Vegas at the Nightmare Toys.
He was doing a signing for them down there.
If you guys are ever in a quick little plug for Nightmare Toys.
If you ever in the Las Vegas area, look up Nightmare Toys.
If you love just horror shit and all that, there's tons of junk in there, toys, collectibles, masks.
I bought a few hockey masks there.
Do they have, like, weird hours?
I want to say.
No, I think it's a standard open at 12 or whatever and close at six.
I don't know, something like that.
Last time I was in Vegas, they were closed.
Oh, man.
Oh, I mean, you know what?
I really, I'm not really sure.
We went there when there was a signing, so.
Oh, okay.
I'm not really sure on how they, how they're running their stuff there.
I hold up a quick and.
Yeah, I'm trying to look at it.
Let me see what it's.
I just bought some...
I bought some stuff.
Oh, yeah, it's way up there off the strip and everything.
It's like a few blocks from the stratosphere.
Okay.
All right, I got you.
So it's not quite to downtown then?
No.
It's...
All right.
It veers off.
Those roads there are crazy.
So, but...
Yeah, there's a lot of sketchy places in Vegas.
I thought it was sketchy.
What a surprise.
I thought it was sketchy, because I thought it was sketchy,
because I wasn't really sure of the area.
It's not a bad spot.
It's not on the main.
There's like a main street and then like the block over, it's kind of behind some stuff.
But there's like on that main street, there's like antique stores and barbecue places and a bunch of bars with all the outdoor dining type of stuff.
So, no, I think it's a pretty safe area because I was a little iffy at first.
I was like, where are we going?
because I don't know Vegas at all.
I could take you to some sketchy places.
That's where you want to go.
No, I'm good.
I used to go to Vegas with my brother like every year.
So I got, I ended up in some different story for a different time, but I ended up in some sketchy places.
All right.
It says Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sundays, 12 to 6.
So I don't know, maybe something was going on.
They go to a lot of conventions.
They'll be at a Texas Frightmare.
So definitely go up and meet Nightmare Christy.
She's awesome.
She's really cool to talk to.
Follow her on her.
I don't know why I'm plugging her so much.
I love her because she's awesome.
It's all good.
Yeah.
No, I mean, it sounds like a legit place.
Yeah.
She does.
I've seen some of her pictures.
Yeah.
She does some since the online stuff.
So she's.
She's beautiful. I love her.
Nightmare Toys, 1309, South Commerce Street, Las Vegas, Nevada.
Yeah, that's the address.
Or just go to Nightmare Toys.com and see anything.
I just picked up...
What did I buy?
Oh, I bought a T-shirt.
It says, I love monsters, and I bought an Eddie Van Halen, Funko Pop,
because they cannot find it anywhere.
Damn.
Some hard-to-find shit, sounds like.
I couldn't find that one.
Um, I, they said it was in the stores and I was seeing pictures and I never saw it anywhere.
But yeah, when we went in there, we mainly just went for the signing, but I, my son and I went nuts.
He had like tons of money burning holes in his pocket because he bought a few hockey masks.
Um, a few figures, a couple shirts.
Um, and just some of the random, uh, artwork that you can hang on the wall.
There was a, there was a lot of stuff down there.
I was like, shit, if I'm driving through Vegas on my way home, I'm definitely stopping there and loading up because there was a ton of stuff I wanted, but I didn't want to carry it all on the airplane.
He wanted to buy a sign machete from Derek Mears.
That was a sign name we went to.
He wanted to buy one of those.
I was like, dude, how are you going to get that home?
Yeah.
That's not going to make it on the plane.
Yeah, he was like, well, we'll just check it.
I said, we got to wrap it up, find a box for it.
I said, I ain't going through all that shit.
So he was kind of bummed.
Plus, you don't need a machete.
Should I ask if they could ship it?
It was from him, not from their store.
They bought some, and it's probably way more than what.
He was selling them for 70 bucks.
The store probably up charges a little bit.
Yeah, so.
Okay.
Plus it had Kane Hodder's signature on it.
Then he was like, yeah, you're paying for mine, and you get his signature for free.
So I'm sure the, if they bought some from, yeah, if they bought some, I'm sure they're going to, hey, well, he's got both of these guys' signatures and then really hike it.
But yeah, no.
But yeah, definitely go to, if you're in Las Vegas, check out Namer Toys.
All right.
Is that your cool of the week?
Um, no, my cool of the week was the final episode of, um, Mandalorian.
Oh, no.
We can't, you guys can't talk.
Or I got to walk away if you do.
No, I'm just saying it, it was, it was awesome.
It was.
The season for me, it went up and down.
It wasn't like every episode was like, oh my God, I was badass.
But it just, it went up and down.
I was like, what are you guys trying to do with this?
Right.
There was a couple things I thought were awesome,
but then there were some things I was like, really?
But I don't know.
I mean, I kind of see what they're doing.
There's definitely going to be more to the story.
And it was cool to see Mando,
Din Jarin
pop up in this
So I thought that was really cool
But yeah
I thought the show
It was what it was
It went up and down
But it ended strong
And there isn't
There's an extra scene
After all the
Oh okay
For this final episode
So just the final one
Yeah so stick around
All right
Somebody somebody told me
It was kind of like
The Mandalorian season 2.5
Pretty much
But it was still good
Real tied together
Well, we kind of expected that, though.
I haven't actually watched the finale yet, but I'm excited about it.
My son wants to watch it, and he's had homework and baseball practice and all that shit,
so we haven't got around to it yet.
Was that all you had?
Yeah, that was the only thing.
Okay.
Well, then my only thing is going to be the peacemaker.
I'm still loving it.
I haven't seen any of it.
Dude, it's great.
You'll love it.
I haven't either.
I'm so behind on everything, man.
It's funny and entertaining.
It just runs right into an extension of the suicide squad,
which still is probably the best thing that DC's done in a while.
So I'm loving every second of it.
Nice.
All right.
I guess Michael of the week has to be Ozark.
The new season is out,
and I guess they're doing it half and half,
kind of like Walking Dead style,
the way they're stretching seasons out, one season takes a break.
And AMC does that with a lot of shit, though, too,
because they're doing that with Better Call Saul,
and it's like, we've been waiting, what, almost three years now
for the second half of the final season?
Well, he had a heart attack, though.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Yeah, they had to pause filming.
He's got off his ass and make some more goddamn episodes.
Spock!
Well, Ozark's my clue of the week.
I won't say too much about it if you're watching it.
It kind of just came out on Netflix a couple of weeks ago.
So, you know, a lot of people might not have seen it yet.
But that and Fear of the Walking Dead,
pretty much the only two shows I'm watching now trying to catch up.
I've got so many, you guys have ever running into this problem right now
where there's so many shows you're trying to watch,
you're having to like keep a list of them,
yeah like all three of you just mentioned shows that I've only
like Bubba Fed and Peacemaker I've only seen the first episodes
and I haven't even started the new season of Ozark
because it's just it's too much
oh wait real quick here's one speaking of Walking Dead
I started this last night with my wife
the one that's on Netflix all of us are dead
yeah set pretty good South Korean one
Yeah, I don't watch the first episode, and it's slowly moving, so hopefully with through the, I think there's 12 episodes.
Oh, no.
It looks like it's, yeah, 12 episodes.
I don't know what's starting it, but this is the beginning of, of course, a zombie outbreak, but well, they kind of explain it, but we're not really sure exactly on.
what it is so far in this first episode.
But it hooked me, so I'm all in.
One of my friends watched this.
She said she just couldn't stop watching and zoomed through all 12 episodes.
I was like, damn, must be nice.
But yeah, the first episode was good, so I'm in on that one.
Brian, you get a laundry.
Oh, Amityville update.
Yes, the great Amityville watch of 2022.
This week, it's Amityville Vampire.
Are these all the new ones?
Are the newer ones?
Yeah, I'm kind of going backwards.
Okay.
What about Amityville Karen?
Have you seen that one?
It's not out yet.
It's not out yet.
Okay.
That's coming to.
But Amityville Vampire.
Not good, but I was slightly, slightly, I'm doing air quotes.
A little bit more entertained than the...
obvious ones.
There was a little bit more
there was a little bit more sexy time in here.
Yeah.
A lot of blood.
A lot of blood and they
did a little bit of better job on the
practical effects.
Nobody in here that I
recognize from anything else.
But yeah,
it was a movie.
They filmed it and they had actors.
Did they have anything
to do with Amityville?
They showed the house.
You know how they do,
Nez. They show the house real quick for like
10 seconds and then
you get the rest of the movie.
But in the
one in the police station, they didn't even show it at all.
Oh, they just told you they was in Amityville.
Yeah.
So that's this week. Next week will be
Amityville Poulter guys.
that's an older one right yeah okay uh let's see uh this uh dropped a couple weeks on uh hb o max and hulu at the same time was uh giermo del torres nightmare alley
right right uh filmed's great look great great cast it had bradley cooper ron peroman kate blanchette
uh tony koret just a whole bunch of people
but like I said with the
Netflix movie Oxygen that was done by
Alex Aja
Right, right, I liked it though
Yeah, not what I want from
Guillermo
Big fan of
Big fan of Guillermo's
You know, I like his monster designs
His practical effects
But this movie was just too slow for me
And it's like almost two and a half hours
Is it worth the
Best Picture nomination?
Uh
for me story wise no but the way it's like I said it's well made and well acted is it was just a little too slow and not
not what I expect from him is this kind of a different story it's basically Bradley Cooper's
he kind of gets a job at a carnival and he you know he helps out this person helps at that
person and then he kind of hooks up with this one guy who does the you know the the kind of i don't want
to call him con artist but like the the people that do the like i can tell what you're thinking and
stuff like that yeah con artist yeah okay yeah well basically he teaches him how to do that but then
he also has this book with other stuff in it and he says you know this other stuff you don't you don't
ever mess with that you don't you know what they call spook shows you know and he kind of takes what he
learns and
becomes super rich and
I don't think famous but he's making a lot of
money but then he gets there's
a scene he gets called out on
basically coning people with simple tricks and then he
kind of uses stuff from the book and
it kind of goes from there and then
it's just I think
it was just a little too drawn out for me
okay so you're saying there's a book where he can really do
magic or something
I'm not going to say
Okay.
You like, I'm going to watch.
I started my Oscar watch.
I mean, I had seen these.
Same here.
I've seen three of them, no, four of them,
before they were announced as Best Picture.
So now I've got to get through the rest.
But out of the ones that I've seen,
I'm picking Liquorce Pizza for Best Picture.
Oh, the pedophile movie.
Yeah, that one.
I like that movie.
Whoa.
Is it a Petophile movie?
As you call it.
You got to watch it.
I mean, they don't show anything.
inappropriate well in a way it is but it's a love it's a love story the girl is in her 20s and
the the dude she falls in love with is like 15 16 or something like that lucky lucky kid that's
what I would have said so I mean that's because I was because I remember I was sitting there
watching it and I was like wait a minute this girl's older than him because you're kind of
like all right well that's cool I hope they she does end up liking him
And then she does.
And then I'm like, wait a minute.
This isn't right.
Yeah, this isn't right.
I mean, no one's getting mad about this, but I'm different times, everyone.
Well, in the movie, different times.
In the time set in the movie, not.
But the movie was good.
I liked it.
But I did watch West Side Story.
I love you, Stephen, but I should have left that shit alone.
Uh-oh.
Oh, boy.
All right.
I mean, I like musicals, but.
some musicals you need to leave alone.
Like all of them.
It's a classic.
I mean, they tried to give us the sequel to,
they gave us the Blues Brothers 2000.
No, that's a left it alone.
Ghost writers in the sky, though.
That was kind of a fun segment, wasn't it?
Left it alone with the original.
There's only one musical.
That's a little shot for horror.
I will allow Cry Baby, but anything else?
No.
A little Johnny Depp action, huh?
Blue Brothers.
Blue Brothers, to me, is the best musical.
And after that, I would go Greece.
All right.
I'll buy that.
This is the musical show?
Greece, too.
Sure.
The musical return.
The music return.
Greece, too.
Let's do it for our country.
You remember that?
Yeah.
For the old red, white, it in the blue.
That's right.
And what was that other one?
No.
production.
It was like an after-school special, man.
I never realized how inappropriate sexual those songs are.
I mean, especially in Greece, I didn't, as a little kid, I didn't get it.
But as I got older and singing it along, I'm like, wait a minute, wait, what?
He just called his car a pussy wagon?
Yeah, Greece's lightning.
Yeah, he's going to get off his rocks.
And I was like, whoa, wait a minute.
Brian, I feel another musical show coming on.
I feel it, Brian.
I feel my first episode I'll miss in almost six years.
That's true, Brian.
You're a rock.
So, Brian, your cool of the week was the Amityville Vampire then.
No, my cool of the week is I'm going to give a shout out to
horror for dummies.
The latest episode they put out behind the boogeyman episode two did it on a leather face.

million reviews or something.
No, what's that?
No, pulling our stuff from that.
No, no.
We don't have any, we don't have any
we don't have any plan on the Aves jokes here.
All right, cool.
I don't have any money.
First of all.
We don't have no money.
Brian, we immediately went,
that was kind of racist.
I shouldn't have said that.
What did you say?
I said, oh, Joe Rogan.
He immediately after that particular story was like,
that was kind of racist.
That shouldn't have said that.
that. Yeah, you can, if you see
the video, you see his face.
It's just like, oh, maybe I shouldn't have.
But, like, like Lance said,
we're not, we're not getting $100 million.
So, yeah. You want to give us
$100 million? Yes, definitely.
Break it up into four checks.
All right, Brian.

I've never even seen any of those things in the store
since they've been out
I saw one one time
it was amazing

even if I did see it out my day
I just look at it because I wouldn't be able
to buy it and I got
other things to
drop money on

Chapel Waith.
Yeah.
Epic is renewed for a second season.
I say, is that bloody well so.
I heard it was pretty good.
I haven't checked it out yet.
I haven't either, man.
Again, I'm keeping a fucking sticky note,
which is about to turn into two sticky notes
on the side of my computer at work
for all the shit TV shows that I still need to watch.
I need to just take like a day off and stay home.
home and watch TV from like 6 a.m. to midnight.
Well, Lance, this next one is for you.
I got some casting news for the upcoming anthology series, Tales of the Walking Dead.
Okay.
Terry Cruz, Parker Posey, and Jillian Bell have all joined the cast.
That ought to be interesting.
Parker William?
Yes, please.
They also said characters from past seasons of the Walking Dead will also show up.
I forgot the actor's name that played Tyrese.
Okay.
I guess there's a lot of rumors there's going to be an episode of him.
Hmm.
So he did not.
I don't know.
He seems like a strange choice.
I mean, not that they wouldn't love to have him on there.
I'm just kind of surprised he didn't.
yeah i thought he was a strange choice for what was that uh expendables but i actually like really
liking him that one i can see more than the walking dead yeah but at that time he didn't really
do a lot of action he did a lot of that's true he was just the buff guy in comedies yeah which he
does great at like white chicks when he was on the ecstasy with the glow sticks that's one of my
favorite scenes in any movie.
Oh, it's great.
I love Harry Cruising.
Get the whistle, blow on the whistle.
Okay.
The only movie news I got is
Joseph Gordon Levitz is he's
going to play cult leader Jim Jones
in the upcoming movie White Knight.
Was that
a...
Damn, what was the city that they
massacre? Oh, Jones Town.
Yeah. Is that that one?
Okay. Yeah, which is
one of those things
one of those things you know we always
get like two
similar movies coming out at the same
time because we got that
Leonardo DiCaprio movie where he's
playing Jim Jones
oh wow so that's happening
again that's a thing again
yeah they did that with Dommer
I think they had like two
Dahmer movies at the same time
and I
I don't think I saw one of them but every time
anybody was talking about it I thought they were talking
about the one that I watched.
Yeah, I only seen the one where, what was the Hawkeye was playing Dahmer.
Oh, see, I haven't seen that one.
That one was ruthless.
Yeah.
Yeah?
Trilled a hole in that guy's head and put in a...
That's right.
That's right.
I remember...
Hany freeze.
God damn.
Shouldn't be laughing about that.
And non-horror news,
right after you just said the horror show.
Star Wars.
Wars, Obi-1 Canovi release date, May 25th.
Yep.
And that Andor series from the Star Wars andor series, they already greenlit it for
season two.
And that show, that season one doesn't even have a release day yet.
Now, these are all live action, right?
Yes.
Okay, cool.
I kind of don't want to watch any more animated Star Wars.
You'll probably get some more.
All right
Obey 1
I watched that little thing
That they threw on
On Disney Plus
And they were talking to Ewan McGregor
Saying yeah it's cool
We're gonna be on Tattoine
But those are gonna be some other things
Because these Jedi hunters
Are gonna be coming after them
And he's still garden Luke
With the Lars
Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru
Um
Uncle Owen
is that one guy from warrior crazy uncle owen um he was in plus he was in the prequel of the thing
and a bunch of other movies yeah he was probably thought he's having a stroke or he's smelling toast
he was in the green night yeah what the hell was his name no get it because he caught on fire
and waka waka i'm sorry he was in uh lances's favorite movie the night comes or whatever that
movie was. Whoa. Oh, geez.
Welcome to the porn returns.
Yes.
Oh, what comes that night?
Yeah, that's what I'm not.
I was thinking when you said night, I was thinking like it's a knight in shining armor.
That was the green knight.
He's all over the map.
Anyway, yeah, he's reprising his role as
Joel Edgerton.
Yeah, him.
Ah.
With that, this is what I want,
because in the original Star Wars in 1977,
and it was Star Wars, that's it in 1977.
He had said,
other than he didn't want Luke to be around Ben,
and he just says he's a crazy old man,
and then all that, so leave him alone.
So I want to see why he doesn't like,
Ben. Something happened between them
and
for him to say. Because if
if we didn't even get this show, what we know so far is
Obi-1 dropped them, him, Luke off to them and that
at the end of Revenge of the Sith and that was it.
And then we see it later in
Star Wars. So we don't see that. We don't
see why Owen doesn't like
Obi-1. So they better
show it in this show on why he
doesn't like him. Maybe he was
just trying to protect Luke from becoming a Jedi.
Yeah. Like
have a nice simple farming life, you know?
No, something happened. That's bullshit.
I want some... Well, I'm sure
it's all going to be covered. It's got to be, right?
It better. And this
is the thing that I'm kind of frowning upon
the most.
Hayden Christensen is coming back to reprise
his role. Oh, no. God.
A.k.a. Darth Vader.
That's cool. If you're going to
use him in flashbacks.
And then even
Eul O'O. McGregor's, who knows, maybe
we'll fight again. I'm like, you can't
fight again. Because
in Star Wars,
when they finally meet each
other and a Death Star before he
strikes down Obi-1,
Vader telling us,
look, the last time we met, I was but
the learner. Now I'm the master.
Right, right. No.
I mean, so
I think it's supposed to
be a dream sequence. I remember watching
some videos on this.
Maybe you forgot they fought. No,
no, they better not, or give me a
good damn fucking excuse
why they're fighting in this new
show that you didn't even talk about
in that way. Right.
So, and they better not say,
oh, the rest of them are all a dream. And then
Obi-1 wakes up and he's still on Tatween
Garden Luke.
Or not even so much a dream sequence, but
like a meditation
training session. That's what I'm saying. I can
see him doing that. If he's sitting there
meditating and he sees Darth Vader
and okay,
I'll buy that, but don't
maybe, don't make
something up. Maybe in the
series he still doesn't consider
himself a master yet.
Well, he
was pretty much done with his training from
Palpatine.
Maybe he meant, I don't know,
trying to throw ideas out there.
Just bring Ryan Johnson into direct
and what can you. Hell no. Keep him away from
Star Wars and don't give him his trilogy
he fucking ruined it.
I think they quietly took that from him.
Good. He deserves him.
We'll just not mention it and people
forget that we were supposed to do.
Flash Jedi was bullshit, man.
He dropped the ball on that movie.
I'm looking at the cast list.
There's some interesting people
on the Obi-1. Sun King,
he was Han in Fast and Furious movies.
Oh, he's in it? Cool.
Yeah, O'Shea Jackson Jr.
Little Ice.
You know, Kumel Nunjani, which is he's oddly top build on IMDV above everybody else.
Yeah, well, I mean, it's a little early to say who's going to get the most screen time, right?
I don't know, but he needs his own eternal.
Because he was awesome.
Over the title character.
It's a good cast for the most part.
Yeah.
Hayden Christensen, he's top build over Ewan.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, the dude from Good Time and Uncut Gems.
This is the guy that directed those movies, right?
Benny Safdi, isn't that the director?
Of the other movies?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I thought, I could be wrong, but I thought him and maybe his brother directed those movies.
Yeah, they did.
Okay, so that's kind of a strange choice, right?
Well, I thought he was good in good times.
Yeah, it was really good in it.
I'm just, I don't know, I'm just kind of curious that I guess Disney just has unlimited money to spend and they're going to spend it no matter what, you know?
I don't know, but Kingo and Kuran or Kuran, they need their own Disney Plus series because they fucking ruled in Eternals.
They were hell of good.
I'm sure it's coming.
I'm sure it's coming, man.
They're the only ones I want to see a TV show about.
I mean, I love the movie.
I thought everyone was in it.
Angelina, you have my heart.
But damn.
Kumal and Johnny and his, what do you call him?
His valet.
Those, they were fucking hell of funny.
They said.
He's pretty funny, but there's something about me that,
something about him that kind of bothers me.
I don't know what it is.
Yeah.
The Bollywood sequences or, I don't know, that would bother Brian.
No, just him and everything that he does.
There's something like,
smarmy about his face.
Yeah.
Smarm me.
You know.
He can't help that.
I know.
Grins to the face.
But I...
You want to get my horse?
What was that?
Did you watch Stuber?
That shit was hell of funny.
Yeah.
Yeah, it actually was pretty good.
Yeah.
And he was good in Stuber.
And I like him in most stuff that I see him in, and he's really funny.
But there's just like...
Yeah, the face he makes when he's...
Yeah.
Yeah, something with his face.
I don't know what it is.
But I heard a lot of those...
That sounds worse than it is, I promise.
I heard a lot of those characters from Eternals.
They're going to pop up into other movies, but likely there won't be another actual
Eternals movie.
Yeah, I'm okay with that.
I'm fine with that.
Well, you didn't like Spider-Man, so...
Not really.
Nah.
I just watched that again.
How did you not like that one?
It wasn't the best...
It wasn't the best Spider-Man movie, but it was good.
Let me get through my two sticky notes of shit that I've got to watch it and all the Oscar movies.
Were you mad when you went to the theater that day?
Do what?
Were you mad when you went to the theater that day?
I don't think so.
I was kind of excited for the movie.
Okay.
Is that it for the news?
Yeah.
You didn't like Spider-Man, so we'll do it at that.
All right.
So we'll go through the multiverse and take a little trip.
Down to the trailer park.
We bring you the big, the small, and sometimes the very, very weird.
Brian, what's our first new trailer tonight?
We are going to start with TV.
A new horror comedy series coming to star is called Shining Bale.
Of course, let's start with the synopsis.
A family moves to a small town into a house in which terrible atrocities have taken place,
but no one seems to notice except for Pat, who's convinced she's either depressed or possessed.
Turns out the symptoms are exactly the same.
Depressed or possessed.
Sounds like a band.
Depressed and what was it good?
Depressed or possessed.
Depressed and possessed.
That's not a bad man.
That's a medical romance cover band.
This stars.
That's a good one, Phil.
Courtney Cox, Greg Kinnear, Rob Morrow, Gus Bernie, and Mee.
Barras Sorvino.
Yes, please.
Barisorvino.
Wow.
Where did she be in?
No doubt.
She was in that one action movie.
That's the last thing I saw her in.
Yeah.
What action movie?
And it was in the theater, too.
Like recently?
Within a few years.
Oh.
Wasn't she in that movie or that TV show about the alien takeover?
Which one?
All right.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I can't remember.
I can't remember what the hell is called.
It was a movie she popped up in and I was like, what?
She's in this?
I'm trying to.
Well, we don't know horror, so, you know.
We don't know.
Any musicals?
Has she been in any musicals?
We may have to change the whole show format, Brian.
She was like a cop.
What the hell was?
I'm trying to...
Oh, man.
Crime story.
Stuber. That's what she was in.
Yeah.
She was talking about that.
She was one of the cops in it.
Really? I don't remember her at all in that movie.
I think we're going to have to watch Stubber for the show.
Yeah.
I didn't realize it was her.
Did anybody realize it was her?
I did when I was watching it, but at first I was
I didn't know if she got, she got, like, work on herself, like, on her nose or a facelift or something.
And I was like, fuck, that's Mirosavino.
Academy Award winner, Mara Sorvino.
I mean, I don't know, because she looked like Mara Servino and this.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Maybe, I don't know.
Maybe they just, it was a bad day at the office.
I don't know.
But at first I didn't realize that was hers.
I was shit, that's Marisovino.
But, yeah, Stuber, that's what she was in.
Shit, now I want to watch that movie.
Do I have it?
All right.
Well.
Well, I think I do.
Shining Vale, what did you guys think?
I'm in.
Based off of Marisovino and Courtney Cox.
No, I was on Courtney Cox.
I was in.
And Gray Caneer, I'm in.
And then Marisovini, not really in.
Yeah.
I like the whole, the whole aspect of is she, like they said, is she depressed or possessed.
I like that whole aspect of the show.
And I like Greg Kinnear.
I think he's funny when he does funny stuff.
So I'm in.
Looks like there's going to be some sexy time in it too.
So I'm in.
I'm in.
Well, Courtney Cox's face is pretty scary.
So that works.
So, I was literally out.
I'm out, guys.
I'm out.
No, put this on one of your sticky notes.
This ain't going on the sticky note, man.
This looks like a rip-off of American horror story.
There are so many scenes in this.
trailer that reminded me of American Horror Story season one.
There was a couple of things I saw that reminded me of other seasons.
It's like they're just trying to capitalize.
But I would say you weren't really on board of yellow jackets when I first brought it up.
I haven't seen it.
Not at all, but I love it.
I love it.
I love the very last minute that scene where...
I haven't seen it.
No, no, no, no.
I'm not done.
I'm fucking with you, Ness.
I'm not going to say a thing.
But the last few episodes of that show are the best.
It does pick up steam.
I'm just saying you.
You got to at least give the first couple episodes a try.
I probably will.
Yeah, I'll watch it, but it's not exactly on my list of shit to watch.
It didn't really grab me.
Well, it is coming to stars March 6.
Now, this next movie, on the other hand.
Well, let's see if we all agree.
because it was a teaser.
We didn't really get a whole lot,
but it's the new 824 movie Men.
I'm in.
A young woman goes on.
You had me at Alex Garland.
I don't need to know any more than that.
He's never done anything bad for me at all.
Even that TV show Devs.
I was out.
I tapped out of that.
You did?
Yeah, it was just.
I loved everything he did.
Annihilation.
I know you guys all love that.
Yeah.
Yeah, ex machina.
Annihilation.
What's the genius?
I mean.
Ex Machina is one of the best movies ever.
As I'm awesome.
Yeah, my son, Mikey and I went to see that.
Annihilation with all the sexy women that were scientists going into the loaves at the shimmer.
I haven't seen it.
Oh, really?
It's good.
Yeah, that was on my top of the.
I have it.
I haven't watched it yet.
Nez.
Come on, dude.
They were supposed to make two more.
It's a trilogy.
It's a trilogy, and I read all three books.
And believe it or not, they get weirder and weirder.
Like, every single book is weirder than the one before.
So I would have loved to have seen that trilogy come through.
All right.
Let me read the synopsis here.
A young woman goes on a solo vacation to the English countryside
after the death of her ex-husband.
It's it for the synopsis.
Didn't get you a lot there, huh?
starring Jesse Buckley, Rory Keneer.
If you guys remember, Rory Kineer, he fucked a pig in Black Mirror.
Oh, yeah.
For the very first episode.
Yeah.
Never getting rid of that one, buddy.
How you start a show off.
I didn't get a whole lot out of this teaser trailer for me to say I'm in, but because it's
Alex Garland, that's why I'm in.
Yes.
I will agree with everything.
you just said.
I just like those weird, these weird movies, so that's what I'm like I'm in.
Right.
But I have been steered wrong with a trailer, oh, this looks good, and then I see the movie,
and it's boring as hell, and nothing happens.
So, but.
They're kind of three cast members on IMDB.
But this director's got a record.
That's all they made.
That's like, what's his name?
If he, like his films, the guy that did Hereditary.
that hell's his name
Ari Oster
Yeah him
If he see his name on there
I'm in
Yeah
You're in no matter what
Right
Yeah so he
Is that got depressed
I don't know
The interview I saw
A lot of those movies
Are based off
Of personal experiences
Yeah
It was his
That was his love of story
In Midsomar
Yeah
So
I don't know
I guess that's how you do
Look at Adele
Man
She could
fucking that guy did her dirty and she fucking cashed in.
And Taylor Swift.
Her too.
My heartbreak doesn't give me millions of dollars.
I guess I got to sing about it.
So it sounds like we're all in.
I got to work this carefully.
We're all in on men.
What's the timestamp on that?
It's raining mid.
All right, May 20th,
and I believe this will be a theater release.
That's kind of surprising.
And our final trailer,
which just recently announced
will not only be in the theaters,
we'll be coming to the Peacock streaming.
NES's favorite
streaming service.
Yep.
Fix their damn
WWE section.
Yeah, fix that shit.
Well, I heard a rumor
W.W.E. is going to be sold off.
You guys heard that rumor?
Yeah.
positioning themselves to be
sold.
Huh.
Maybe Disney will buy them. That would
make sense.
Wouldn't it?
No.
No.
Think about it.
Sell it to somebody that that loves the business.
Yeah, Disney would get rid of wrestling if they could, I think.
Don't sell it to someone that just wants to make money.
Sell it to someone that knows wrestling.
Yeah.
And is about the business and is about equal opportunities for everybody involved,
all employees, not just stop pushing the fucking.
Welcome to the wrestling returns.
Stop pushing these motherfuckers that we see.
every fucking single week.
There's plenty.
I've said this many, many times.
There's plenty of talent in the back.
Bring them forward.
Listen to seeing him punk.
We're going to have this guy.
We're going to have this guy wrestle this guy every week for the next six months.
Yeah.
And then we're going to bring this guy back and then give him a belt.
Every time he comes back.
Yeah, we're talking to you, Brock.
Yeah, shit.
But don't you.
Is he still in there?
Yeah, I'm telling you.
He came back in.
And within a week, they put the belt back on him.
How fucking old is Brock?
I don't know.
He caught one of the McMans doing something, because I don't know.
They pay him millions of dollars, and he doesn't even have to be on TV every week.
No, cut that hair.
I kind of like the braid on his head.
I don't.
It looks stupid, man.
His little lumberjack look he has now.
Tom, they need...
Hey, you saw that one episode of Smackdown
where he was dressed like a cowboy?
Yeah.
He talks a lot more.
I know that.
I've noticed that.
He doesn't just stand there and...
Well, if you got paid, like they pay him,
you talk a whole bunch on the mic, too.
For the love of mankind.
All right.
Yeah, elimination chamber is up next, everyone.
So listen to that show.
Yep.
Firestarter.
remake from Blumhouse.
I'm in.
It looks pretty good.
I was in before I looked at it.
Lance, did you read this story?
Lance tapped out when we were talking about us.
Taped out on us?
Yeah.
Let me read a synopsis real quick.
I'm sure people have seen Fire Starter,
but for those who didn't,
a young girl tries to understand
how she mysteriously gained the power
to set things on fire with her mind.
the star is Zach
Efron, Gloria Rubin
Ryan, Kira Armstrong,
Sidney Lemon, and
Michael Gray Eyes. Everybody
check out Blood Quantum.
Directed by Keith Thomas.
Philip Keith Thomas directed
that movie we reviewed the Vail.
The Vigil.
The Jewel.
Yeah.
So I'm in.
This looks like it's going to be a good
retelling of the story.
and everybody, I have no problem with anybody in it.
So, I'm in.
Well, it's got no Academy Award winners in it.
So, but I'm in.
Because the 1984 version is cheesy as it is.
I mean, it had the firepower, pun intended.
But this one, I know a lot of people don't like Zach Ephron.
I've always liked him.
Me too, dude.
He's good.
Yeah, he's a cool guy.
I wish I had his discipline.
I'm surprised he's not.
That, too.
I'm surprised he's not a superhero yet.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No kidding.
Welcome to the Zach Efron hour.
But yeah.
Yeah.
And he's kind of like Idris Elba.
Think about it.
He's never had any really big roles, right?
He has a new movie that I heard a lot of people are saying is good called Gold.
Just came out a few weeks ago.
It's like a survival thriller.
where he's in the desert
Yeah
He's got 17 again
That's hell of good
I love that movie
All right
The neighbors or whatever that one was saying
Baywatch she was awesome
In that
We're all in agreement
We're in agreement
We're going to give this one a shot
Oh fuck and dirty grandpa
He was awesome
Oh that was so funny
There you go
He wasn't the best actor in that movie though
But Lance, before you tapped out from our wrestling conversation,
Nez was asking if you, have you read the story?
Oh, of Fire Starter?
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
I've read every single Stephen King book except maybe the last two.
And I've got...
How does the story hold up to the original movie?
Pretty close.
I mean, the main character that was after him.
I think he was an Academy Award winner, right?
Nez?
Martin Sheen?
I'm talking about the main bad guy?
Yeah, it was Martin Sheen.
Martin Sheen, no, that was the good guy, right?
He was the main bad guy.
Okay, but who was the guy that ran the...
George Seatley Scott...
There you go. There you go.
The changeling.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They changed his character quite a bit.
But other than that, I mean, it was...
Ah, it was pretty close.
It was pretty damn close.
And this one looks pretty close, too, from what I can tell.
I mean, the main thing is they start out at the...
you know, the shop, which is where the, you know, the guys study people.
Yeah, the men in black.
If they keep the shop in here, I would love to see this turn into like an ongoing.
And here I am talking about all the TV shows, but I'd love to see a TV series about the shop
where they find different people with powers and stuff like that and, you know, go around and analyze strange happenings and stuff like that.
agents of shield yeah yeah I know but they all king did at first in his book so I'd love to see a
spin-off series is it just me or does it seem like Zach Ephron's character doesn't have any
powers uh it doesn't look like it or maybe we just haven't seen it I don't I know to
I knew that the mother had powers I knew that his wife had powers in the book I'm I'm not
sure he did. I think the wife
did and the daughter. And the movie
the movie had both of him did. Him and
David Lachke. Yeah, I don't remember.
You know what? I got to reread. I'm going to reread it before the
movie comes out, but I do not
remember him having powers.
They, it was
dumb. Yeah, not Keith David, but
the other one. Yeah. It was him
and Heather Lachler. Right.
They were, they were test subjects for
the program. Yep.
All right. Well, definitely going to
reread the book before I watch this, I assure you.
So what's the release date on this, Brian?
Heather be thy name.
May 13.
I just watched those.
You pick up the Steelbook?
No, I missed it.
Anyway, continue.
May 13th in theaters and streaming on Peacock same day.
Yes.
They needed a remake of this one.
If you're going to remake one fucking Stephen King movie,
this is a good one to do it.
Yeah.
Although that one, it was cheesy, the original, but it was still really good.
It's probably my favorite student king things.
Yeah, I still enjoy it.
I mean, Drew Barrymore was throwing fireballs at people.
Yeah, you can't go wrong with Art Carney, so.
And she kind of looks like a little shit that would do that.
And what's her name?
Nurse Ratchet.
She was in the original.
And I think I've seen the little girl in something
And Huggy Bear from Starsky and Hutch
The little girl was in the Tomorrow War
Okay
Hell of good
Yeah, I wasn't bad
She was in Black Widow
She was a young
What was her name?
Yelena
Oh, I got you, that makes sense
And
She looks very drool.
Barry Moorey.
Yeah.
And I kind of like that the little scene where it kind of makes it seem like she's going to go bad when she said she doesn't want to hurt anybody, but when she does it, it kind of feels good.
Yep.
So maybe might be some little changes here and there's some little twists.
I don't know, but sounds like we're all in.
That's a chick from Succession?
With the booty.
I guess.
I was wondering who she was.
All right.
Yeah, I'm in.
And, yeah, Michael Grayey's.
I mean, I'm in.
But it looks good.
I mean, from what they showed, I just watched a trailer before we started talking about this.
But I'm in.
I think it looks good.
I mean, this is one of those ones that they can do, can't do any worse than the original.
Again, the original one's good.
It's cheesy.
But that was.
You're talking about Sidney Lemon.
Yeah.
I was talking about Sarah Snuck.
No.
Someone else.
Redhead with the...
No.
No, not that one.
But I'm in.
I like the poster.
It looks like the original one.
I thought this was that little girl from Ghostbusters at first.
Oh, McKenna Grace?
Yeah, if it was her, I would all the way been in.
Oh, yeah.
She's good.
I like her.
And I usually hate her.
child actors. They're kind of fucking annoying.
But that chick was good.
But yeah, this one looks good. It looks
pretty much like the
original one, so I'm in.
All right.
I had to look her up real quick
because I forgot her name, but
Phillips' favorite actress, Lulu
Wilson.
Lulu, yeah, see.
Well, and she's come along, you know?
She does pretty good now, now that
she's kind of grown up a little.
Yeah, she was good in Becky, that one movie.
Yeah, right, yeah, I liked her in Becky.
But she had this, like, over-the-top Shirley Temple fucking thing going.
Yeah, to me, it was like a young Dakota fanning period.
See, and I never had a problem with Dakota Fanning.
I kind of felt like she acted much older than what she really was.
Yeah, but she didn't, like, ham it up the way that Lulu did.
Right.
That one movie when she was getting raped.
Oh, my God.
How one was tough to watch?
Dakota Fannie.
What movie was that?
Wow, I don't want to, I don't even want to see that.
We just went dark here.
Yeah, that's been a dark episode.
It means I, she's an amazing actress.
I love Dakota Fanning, but that one movie.
Oh, Galveston?
Was it called Galveston?
I don't remember.
I want to say it was something.
She loved Elvis and.
Hound Dog?
Yes.
That one. Oh, my gosh. I never saw that.
Yeah.
Speaking of Dakota, this goes back to
non-horror news.
Lance, one of your favorite actresses,
Dakota Johnson.
Mm-hmm.
It's going to play Madam Webb.
Spider-Man character.
Really?
Yeah.
Okay. I mean, she deserves it. Why not?
And for some reason,
maybe it'll be a better...
Maybe it'll be a better Spider-Man movie.
That's the thing.
It's Sony, so she won't be introduced in a Spider-Man movie.
She will be introduced in her own solo movie, which people are going to be like,
who the fuck is Madame Williams?
Yeah.
I've read comic books for 10 years, and I don't know who that is.
I don't either.
Bring in Scorpion like they should have done all by now.
I thought it was going to be a movie.
You teased him in the first movie.
Put him in the first movie.
He was in the first one, Scorpion?
Was he?
Nacho from...
Breaking in.
Yeah, he went to prison with Michael Keaton at the end.
Oh, that's right.
That's right.
That's Scorpion.
I mean, bring him in.
Stop bringing in all these mediocre bad guys.
I'm only saying this because after Green Goblin.
Yeah.
Scorpion is my favorite.
Bring Andrew Garfield back.
Amazing Spider-Man 3 and then
introduce these characters the right way
Sony
yeah he needs another movie
I just I just bought those
those movies again
the Amazing Spider-Man I thought I had him
I guess I didn't but I'm gonna re-watch
him because after the fourth
watch of No Way Home
he
it wasn't his fault that those movies were garbage
he was good
I like Andrew Garfield
he's up he's up for an Oscar
He's up for an Oscar this year.
Not in that fucking movie.
For a movie singing.
For a musical, Brian.
For a fucking musical.
That stupid fucking rent movie that he did, it's garbage.
Have you seen it?
I saw half of it.
Okay.
My wife, my wife fucking loves everything Landmanual Miranda does.
So we will be watching it.
Maybe twice because I love musicals.
I want to see it.
Oh yeah, I really want to see it
And it's actually not that bad
It's in the Oscars
So we got to see it, Nez
He should have won one for
What was that war movie he was in?
Hacksaw Ridge
Oh, that was bad
Yeah
He was good in that
With the whole war and didn't use a gun
He's got some range man
Because he actually does a really good job
In that rent movie
A little extra non-horred news
Mel Gibson has confirmed
Lethal Weapon 5 is happening
they're too old for this shit
but all right
he's directing
is the
Eddie Glover's live
yep
Danny Glover's like
104 years old
this is this is
this is the story
I said it on action returns
Martin
and Martin's and
what's her name
Renee Russo's kid
becomes a cop
that was one story
or
Danny Glover's son
becomes a cop.
Something happens.
I'm sure you're right.
And those two are going to have to come out of retirement
and solve a case.
Lethal Weapon 5, the tagline.
We are really too old for this shit.
Are you serious?
Or we're not.
It's going to be Danny Glover saying,
I'm way too old for this shit.
We'll see Mel Gibson sitting on a toilet
that's set to explore.
You don't have to make Danny Glover
like do a whole bunch of shit.
you can make him like the damn
police chief now.
Oh, that's true.
And he's trying to get, he's trying to get Martin Riggs
to retire because he's still doing it.
Now you're too old for this shit.
Oh, boy.
Yeah, he could be captain and police chief,
but I don't know, we'll see.
But it's got to be some young,
some new young guns that are going to come in
to give us the action.
I hope there's a mullet.
Mel could give us a little, but Danny, I don't think so.
I predict, I predict Mel Gibson's death, character's death in this movie.
He can't die.
No, he's too good.
He got shot the hell up in the end of Part 2 and he survived.
So diplomatic immunity.
It's just been revoked.
But yeah, I mean, I think, and what's his name at the end has to break out his old six
shooter and shoot someone.
Murtaugh. You got to do that
neck. Oh, yeah.
And then shoot. So I want that.
But yeah, anyway. He has to say
some like PG catchphrase.
Like, what does he say? Go spit.
Right.
You've been watching the ones that came on TV,
haven't you?
No, he says that in the
unrated version.
In the first film,
I think he says it like a bunch of times in that one.
It sounds like one of those lines where they're just covering up a curse word.
He said it when they were, um,
when they were beating the hell out of them.
Mother father.
And they put salt in his,
in his bullet wound.
We're getting off topic,
but my favorite,
uh,
dubbed over line was a two-pac and above the rim.
Instead of saying,
motherfucker he said Mickey Ficky.
Stop it.
I think it was on like TBS or something.
Let me
really quick. This one that makes me
laugh every time I watch it was the
PG version of Saturday Night
Fever. Yeah, Saturday Night Fever.
That scene when they're on the bridge
and they act like they fall off and that girl
runs over to the edge
and looks over in the rated R version. She goes,
You fuckers!
But in the PG version,
she leans over, you face.
That's good, man. That's a good one. Even lip readers can't tell that one's off.
Oh, man. Hey, it's better than a bleep. Yeah. I'd rather have no one. I'd rather, I don't like when they add those because in the 80s growing up, I don't know about now, but they really went for it.
I mean, the one that sticks out to me the most really quick was Smokey and the Bandit.
I think I saw that one. All the Jackie Gleason stuff. I mean.
You just know how racist and vulgar he was.
They got the dude that did the Fred Flintstone voice.
That's right.
That's right.
I remember that.
To pretty much just dub his whole dialogue.
It was terrible.
Anyway.
Ridiculous.
Well, the movies this week.
Yeah.
On that note, that's the last trailer.
Are you Mickey Fickey's ready?
You know, you motherfucker's ready?
You're bad.
there. You bet your ass.
I forgot what we were talking about.
Feedback.
All right. Listener feedback. I'm going to step away for a minute.
All right. No worries.
We'll just get to the Mickey Ficky feedback.
The Mickey Ficky. This week, the podcast spotlight, we shine our light on ladies and ligaments.
Great name.
Enbus.
I'm sorry.
women and queer horror fans discuss the heteronormative horror movies that make and shake us.
And the current episode is Horny Horror.
We all know horror is horny, but what makes it that way?
R.C. joins to discuss a few examples of makeout worthy horror movies and how sexuality is depicted in the genre.
Find it where you get your podcasts.
Next step, you get killed.
And they told us thank you for the shout-out.
Oh, all right.
You're quite welcome.
And I apologize if I mispronounced your name.
No, I do that every week.
We got a message through the website.
It says, hey, guys, horror filmmaker David Axe, Hailing.
Love the Pod.
Thanks for introducing me to Bloody Melt.
Anyway, I've got a...
Body melt. Body melt. My bad.
Oh, yeah. That was a great movie.
It was.
Anyway, I've got a goofy, gory bay wolf out. It's called Bay Wolf.
It had to happen.
Because why not?
And you might like it. Here's a screener if you're interested.
Oh, for real? Awesome.
Keep up the good word.
Yeah, where's the screener, Brian? Is it in Twitter or...
Yeah.
Okay.
I meant to check it out, but I'll have something to say about it next week.
All right.
I'll check it out too, man.
If I can get into my Twitter account, I'll check it out.
Another good name.
Brian put out a poll this week regarding Texas Chainsaw Masker.
What is your favorite movie in the franchise?
So far, the 1974 OG is running away with it, followed by the 2003 remake.
Tim Davis says for me the original and O3 remake are on par
I love them both for different reasons
over the past few weeks
I have went through the franchise
I noticed
and I really hope this
I really
I really hope the new one
is a direct sequel to the original well it is a direct sequel
but I hope Texas
Massacre 3D
does not count because that movie is.
Oh no. Is it that bad?
I don't even know if I saw that one.
It's the digital effects
that I don't think I saw it either.
Which I'll talk about digital effects
later on in our review.
It's got what's her name in it?
Yeah, but she's so
Adario or whatever her name is.
Does she get populous?
That would add 10 points for me.
No, Lance. They fake like she's
going to get topless. Oh, no.
Oh, I'm out. You got to watch True Detective
if you want that.
Yes, yes. That's the real.
And what's her name? They're the one with a big mouth.
Who?
Her friend.
She was in Lost.
Oh, the one that was
sleeping with her boyfriend on the side? Yeah, that
one. Oh, man. Oh, she
had the fucking corny's line.
Really? She shoots leather. Welcome to Texas.
Yeah. I don't even know if she
was from Texas.
And then
what is her friend?
Alex, what is her name?
Diderio.
Alexandra Diderio.
Yeah, like her character
couldn't walk in the damn movie.
Like, she fell down like every five steps.
And it was like overdone.
And then all the 3D,
I'm going to throw the chains off the screen.
Yeah, but Lance,
you would have been pissed off.
cameras. Yeah, I'll skip, man. I don't think I've seen that one either, and I think I'll keep it that way.
Lance, they did the thing where the shirt was unbuttoned. And you could tell there was tape holding the
shirt in place. Yeah. Come on. Although it was like, why, why tear her shirt? What, what, you know,
for what? Alexander Dodario and 3D, I'm not going to argue with.
she was she was great to look at but
that and then leather face rewatching that one
not Texas Chainsaw three leather face but the
the one that's just called them trying to overcomplicate
the storyline and the backstory of the family is it's too much so
I think it should just be
I'm hoping for the new one to be good but I think
if the timeline should be the original and then this new one
I'm very hopeful.
I heard you guys talking about the trailer last week,
and you said that somebody was doing like social media or something like that.
He said, you've been canceled.
And he said, instead of just asking him, what does that mean?
Because I guess Leather Face can't talk,
you just like cut him in half or something.
Yeah.
Great scene.
Cancel this, right?
And, of course, watch Next Generation just for Matthew McConaughey.
because it's fucking ridiculous.
I've lost track of all the Texas Chainsaw Masker Remakes.
Seems like they come out with one of four years.
Part three is not too good either, but it does have Ken Foray.
Got Vigo Mortensen.
Are you serious?
Yeah, he's one of the crazy...
I need to rewatch it.
He's Sawyers or whatever.
Yeah, they keep adding new family members that weren't around before.
Although I think Texas Chainsaw Masker 2 is a classic.
just like I do too.
It's my favorite favorite of the franchise.
Yeah, I'll say that was the best one at all.
Yeah.
Bego, they went crazy with his name in part three.
His name was Tex.
Biggo Mortensen?
Yeah.
Okay.
Marilyn Burns, she was in the chainsaw 3D.
I think that was her last role.
She was the grandmother.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Also in several porno films in case you were curious.
Oh, there's that.
You know we were.
All right.
All right.
Let's see.

Puppet Master was released in 1981,

Yeah, it ain't not happening.
All right.
And let's see.
Now we're on to our featured attractions.
All right.
This week we're going to celebrate Valentine's Day with the original My Bloody Valentine
as well as a 3D remake because what else we got?
Let's see.
We'll start with 1981, a decades-old.
folk tales surrounding a deranged murderer, killing those who celebrate Valentine's Day,
turns out to be true to legend when a group defies the killer's orders and people start
turning up dead.
Director is George Mihalka, also known for Pickup Summer and Eternal Evil, which I've never heard of.
Writers are Stephen A. Miller and John Beard with an Eye.
How that works.
The film was shot in authentic mines, which were often as much as 900 feet underground.
Only certain lighting devices could be used in the mines because of the potential danger of methane explosions.
It seems like a bad idea.
According to makeup effects artist Thomas R. Burman, one of his gory creations was realistic enough that director George Meeha,
threw up at the side of it.
That says like an urban legend, too.
Yeah.
Or he was just really hungover.
All right.
Kevin, you want to start us out with My Bloody Valentine, 1981?
Did we get a hell of good?
Which version did you guys watch?
There are or the unrated one?
Oh, good question.
I'm not sure.
I will say if you guys watch the unrated,
one, the gorier kills
are put back in the movie
and you can tell because the
scenes kind of look
grainy. Yeah.
It was
if I'm just going by the
theatrical one, awesome film. I loved it.
I saw it when it came out in the theater.
And then when they did
the uncut one when they added those
scenes that they cut out,
it just shot my score up even higher.
But this movie was fucking
awesome. But I
loved everything about it.
The classic
gory, sorry about these boys, because they won't be quiet.
Let them hear.
We don't talk about Bruno.
Go play the edit. Top
the practical effects
were awesome in it. Everything in it.
I did like the story. It was one of those
believable stories. It wasn't
just some crazy
mythical person running around killing people, but I liked what was going on.
It had as much as you could get for the 80s, good acting wise.
But it was good, man.
I really loved those ones.
But the kills, the practical effects were just amazing.
I mean, because I remember before I saw the film, I was looking.
looking at the,
Fangoria and the shower scene of when the minor picks up that lady and jams her head on to the back of the little spiket.
It was basically just a,
it was just a pipe squeezed,
squeezed together.
So I saw that.
The water was still running through her mouth.
Yeah.
And I was like, well, that looks awesome.
So I couldn't wait to see it.
But when I saw the movie, it was like, he just picks her up, boom.
And then that's it.
it. I was like, oh, weak. So I did not know there was an uncut version until much later.
But, I mean, everything that was in it, I thought it was an awesome film. I loved all the people that was in it.
I didn't realize that Fink from Meibol, the big fat guy, he was in it. And he was also in a class of 1984.
He was the big bold, skinhead dude.
that was in that one.
But, I mean, I loved everything that was going on in this one.
Yeah, it was the best of, what was it, 81 when this one came out?
So, yeah, man, it was a good story.
And as I remember sitting there watching it as a kid being scared.
I'm going to watch it later tonight with my son because he had never seen it.
But I love this film.
It's one of those ones we watch every year.
During the 31 Days of Horror, Taylor and I, we covered both of these films.
with our original
remake. I went more with this one.
He went more with the remake
because he's the junior guy
of the East Society. But, I mean,
I love this film. I mean, it's,
I know a lot of people don't like it and they say
how cheesy it is, especially for now,
but I think this movie still holds up
after all these years, and I love
this one. Nice.
You guys can skip me. I've got to
be right back, because I haven't seen this
one in a couple of years. The only thing
I'm going to say is I do remember all
that every fucking thing in the town was like Valentine's decorated.
Like the goddamn restaurant and everything had Valentine decorations.
And wasn't the town called Valentine's Falls or something like that?
Valentine's Bluff.
Yes.
That's my takeaway from it.
I haven't seen it a few years, but I'll be back.
All right.
Brian, what did you think about it?
Oh, I love this.
This is a classic slasher film.
The kills are great.
the practical effects
I'm not sure
you know who watch what version
but the
stuff they put in
put back in was great
Ned's talked about the shower
faucet scene
the pickax to the
basically the crazy Ralph guy
the guy that's telling everybody
you know don't do this or you get killed
that was an awesome scene where he gets the
pickax through the
bottom of his neck and it comes out
his eye
Yeah, that eyeball thing is pretty awesome.
They did a really good job on that, especially for the time.
Yeah, the older lady that got thrown in the dryer.
Yeah.
Oh, that was awesome.
See, I love that.
It works that way, but.
Yeah.
Well, maybe back in those days it did.
I remember that motherfucker the high.
I remember that the first time seeing it because when in the theatrical, when he opens the door, the sheriff opens the door.
or no, it just falls, she just falls out.
And it just boom, that's it.
And they just show her quick scene of her burnt up and that's the end of the scene.
And the uncut one, she falls out as it's spinning.
And they show her spinning still.
As her head's whip.
Triars don't work like that either.
But another thing I really liked about this is they were young people,
but they weren't like supposed to be kids.
You know, they were just in their 20s, you know, not teenagers or, you know, adult actors trying to be teenagers.
You know, they were really believable as their age.
And then, like, we actually got a little bit of character development.
You know, we had the guy coming back from California that didn't make it in California, and he has to come back and work for his father.
And then you got the whole love triangle thing.
And I just like, you know, we actually got some character development other than, you know,
Here's some random young people that's just going to have sex and get killed.
And I thought it was kind of different.
And it stands out from other slasher movies.
Is it the best slasher movie?
No.
But I think it's up there and definitely a classic.
Yeah.
And for being 1981, I mean, that's pretty good.
They didn't really go with all the tropes.
And I think you're right.
I think it was a pretty solid movie for 1980.
The slasher genre is not my favorite.
I'm more of a
sci-fi paranormal
religious horror person.
But
this one did pretty well, you know?
I enjoyed it for what it was.
Have you seen this before?
Yeah, I think
I watched it a few years back.
I feel like we've already gone over these movies.
I don't know.
But
You know, it's got some 80s cheese to it.
But, I mean, this one does kind of hold up, you know.
It wasn't bad for what it was.
And the special effects were great.
I'll take those practical effects in the 80s over, like, the early 2000s,
shitty computer-generated shit any day.
so yeah
I was pretty impressed with this one
for what it was
I mean
I mean
slasher's is the genre
that I love out of horror
and I mean 80s
slashes yes there has been some good
ones out of the 80s but
what this one
what makes me love these ones
is because this
this story could happen
we've had
many accidents dealing with
minds where there was cave-ins and there was some guys that passed and there was some there were some
survivors and of course the love triangle of somebody leaving town and then whoever the one that
got left falls in love with someone else that was that was true life and then when we find
out what who the who the killer is because they have us all thinking it's someone else but then
it turns out to be someone else and it was cool because I wasn't I mean the first time watching
this I wasn't thinking
oh this guy is really the
killer because they're hyping you
up with this whole story
in the beginning and then it turns into
like
a old folklore legend of
this is Harry Warden and if
you're running around on
Valentine's Day you're going to kill him because that
was what was going on in this after
the cave
in back in the day Harry Warden
was the only one that survived
Um, he ate their other workers.
Yeah, because when we get to the next one, it's still the same story, but there's a lot of different changes.
But when this one, yeah, he was caved in and the only way for him to survive was go to cannibalism.
And he was eating the guys that were in there was dead.
So he, what you got to do?
He survived because when they dug him out.
He killed him first.
Yeah.
So.
He didn't eat him while they were squirming, huh?
No.
But I mean, so and then him taking his revenge on all the higher ups and the mining business because he was like they did.
They were like half assing the job and they didn't do whatever.
I can't remember.
But it was a good story that this is why he went back and he was killing all those people with the story.
But then as the story goes on, we find out because I think it was like 20 years when none of this happened.
because after the Harry Warden incident,
they just quit doing Valentine's Day.
But then since,
okay, it's been a long enough time,
let's throw a party.
And the town was all ready for it.
Yeah, let's do it.
But then this is when the killing started again.
And they're saying that if you start doing Valentine's stuff,
you don't cancel the dance,
I'm going to start killing people.
And then slowly the body count starts.
I mean, there was a little bit.
It's not a pretty big body count.
I want to say at least 10 in it.
But, I mean, it was cool.
I liked what was going on.
And then at the end, when we find out the reveal of who the killer is,
I was like, ah, and then they show you a flashback on why this person is doing it.
Perfect.
I loved what they did with it.
It was a believable story.
It wasn't just some unstoppable killer running around.
That's important, too.
Yeah, they threw enough twists in there to make it work.
He had a great crazy person laugh at the end.
Yeah.
And then if you've if you watch the if you listen to the song at the end when the credits are rolling
It's a song about Harry Warden so I thought that was really good. Yeah, so kind of
Kind of catchy. Yeah, whoever wrote that it was it was a good way because usually they just
It's just some random song that they hadn't got nothing to do with the movie but this one they
They wrote a song for for the end credit so I really love this one and after all these years this this movie definitely still holds
up. I'm kicking myself. They had a screening for this last night in Sacramento and I wanted to go.
But I am going to the Sleepaway Camp one in July. Felice Rose is going to be there. So I got to be
there to watch that on the big screen because I have not seen that on the big screen since it came out.
So but that should be fun. My Bloody Valentine, 1981, this, this movie is amazing. And to me,
it still holds up in 2022.
Fun fact, Don Franks, who played Chief Jake Newby,
he was the voice of Bubba Fett in the Star Wars Holiday Special.
Oh, wow.
That's right, he was, huh?
That's the classic, huh?
That's the only part you need to watch.
That's the only part you need to watch, Boys and Heroes.
No, the animated part, right?
Yeah, that's all you need to watch.
Agreed.
I watched it for my 31 Days of Christmas this year.
I thought AJ didn't talk to me for three days.
It was good in 78 when it first came out.
I'm one of those.
If you were on acid and cocaine, it was probably good.
I was seven years old when it was on.
Yeah, I was going to say seven years old.
That makes a difference.
But I loved it.
I was in Arizona at my grandmother's house, and I knew it was coming on.
And I watched it, and I just thought it was amazing.
But go up to, I don't know, whenever I bought a,
a little boule
copy on DVD and I
watched it with my kids and
it does not hold up. If you want to
brave it, it's on YouTube, so
have that it. Yeah, it's on YouTube
but it's even got some of the commercials.
The original
1778 commercials.
That's how you got to watch it.
And that's when we were introduced
to
we're introduced to
Chewy's wife and his son.
Oh God. Yeah.
Mala and
No.
So he's an absentee.
Absentee father and husband, huh?
Hey, he was busy doing the Kessel Run.
And then saving the fucking planet, man.
And don't forget, itchy.
All right.
So let's go scores.
Ness?
Ten.
Is it an official?
Hell of good.
Brian, you're one for two.
You're one for two, Brian.
We called it.
Lance?
No, I can't.
I can't.
It's been a couple years.
I don't remember enough.
So that's a 10 from Lance?
I think I was really drunk at the time.
It's not a 10.
I know that.
But maybe, I think it's probably maybe six and a half or so.
That's fair.
I enjoyed it.
Yeah.
I remember enjoying it.
Like I said,
the only thing I really remember that much was just the stupid fucking Valentine
bullshit leading up to the dance.
Yeah.
It's like, why would a town go this all out just for Valentine's?
I don't know.
The town is wild around jaded.
I know.
You've been to Walmart?
Not this week, thank God.
Brian, what do you think?
I'll give it a nine.
Wow.
Nine.
Why do you not expect that?
This is one of, I think, the best slasher's that came out in that the golden era of slasher.
Slashers films.
I was going to say,
that's saying a lot,
dude.
That was the era for slasher's,
man.
I think there's a lot of
iconic moments in here,
and I'm so glad
that they put back,
even though the,
the scenes are grainy,
but you needed those,
those more gorier kills in there
to really,
you know,
get the full effect of the movie.
And I,
I think that was a great decision
that they made.
It sucks that it took
that long,
because I think,
it was when the remake came out when they put back the scenes so it took a long time so
but yeah it's it's definitely a classic and i think everybody should check it out you know especially
you know if you like horror and it's the holidays you know valentine's day check it out
but make sure you check out the unrated version because it did the regular one doesn't hit the
same yeah if i know the regular version streaming on stars right now but if you
want to buy it
get the Scream Factory one because it's
got both versions on it
and I think you can still get it
I don't think this is out of print yet but
Yeah I got the minor guy
Oh so do I
Oh did you get the
The steel book? Yep I got that one too but I
Mike and I went in on it
I just wanted the steel book he took the
actual figure that came with it
But I got both versions of the steel book and the regular
slip cover one
but I mean yeah like Brian said the the scenes that they added back into it yeah you can totally tell it's all grainy but they cleaned it up as good as they could I guess they said this is a new 4K scan from the original camera negative so I mean that's good and the stuff they cut out yeah I mean they also did that in Candyman the original one the uncut version you can clearly see what was cut because it it does not really look at
It doesn't look the same.
Uh-uh.
But, I mean, it's cool that they added it.
I wish they could do that to the Friday of the 13th films, the earlier ones.
But a lot of them, there's, as soon as scenes were cut, they threw them away.
Especially like, majority is everyone's favorite.
Jason lives.
They cut so much out of that.
And they just threw all the, what they cut away.
So I don't think we'd ever see an uncut version of that.
But who knows.
Only they'd known, huh?
Yeah, I don't know.
It was just how Paramount did things, I guess.
You got the shit in the can.
Just leave it there.
They do a lot of movies like that, though.
Because I remember when the Screen Factory was putting out Event Horizon,
they originally advertised they were going to go get the missing.
I think it was like 20 or 30 minutes that were cut out.
Oh, wow.
And they ended up finding out that, I guess,
where they stored the footage.
it got damaged to the point where they couldn't do nothing with it.
Well, I guess that makes sense.
So, yeah, it sucks that people go, you know, it's hard work filming all this stuff, and it gets cut out,
and then they get thrown away or forgotten or destroyed, and it sucks.
Well, and now, fortunately now everything's digital.
Yep.
All right, I'm going to give it
I'm going to give it a seven.
Not bad.
I think it was, yeah, I think it was a really solid 80 slasher, you know?
And in 81, which is before a lot of 80 slasher.
So they kind of set the narrative on this,
and I don't think that they get enough credit for it.
I thought the kills were pretty good.
The special effects were great.
not bad
not a bad movie
that's my official
official review
not bad
all right
so I think we all agree
we should check out the
1981
my bloody Valentine
but what about the 2009
My Bloody Valentine 3D
Tom returns to his hometown
on the 10th anniversary of the
Valentine's Night Massacre that claimed
the lives of 22 people.
Instead of a homecoming,
Tom finds himself suspected of committing the murders,
and it seems like his old flame
is the only one that believes he's innocent.
Director is Patrick Lucier,
Lucier,
also known for Drive Angry.
Great movie.
Dracula 2000.
Not a great movie.
Yeah.
And Trick.
I don't know what Trick is.
That's a good movie in the haunted house.
The one we reviewed with the...
Yeah, not haunt, but trick.
It was like one came out one year after the other, right, Brian?
Yeah, it's like the guy...
I probably know it if I saw it.
Yeah, you would know it.
They tried to make a new, like, horror character.
I don't think it really caught on.
You haven't seen a trick too yet, right?
No.
But it wasn't bad.
I saw a trick on the corner just the other day.
That is a different.
That is a deal.
different movie.
Writers are
Todd Farmer and Zane Smith.
A
flyer on the wall indicates that Valentine's
day is Saturday, February 14th.
That would mean that the
previous day is Friday
the 13th.
In a 2012 interview,
Betsy Rue asked if she
regretted filming the extended scene
where she's running around the motel parking
lot totally naked.
I don't regret it.
She did a lot, though.
She was totally naked for, it had to, it felt like a good five minutes scene.
She didn't have clothes on in the whole movie, did she?
Yeah, that was amazing.
She might have had shoes on.
That's about it.
She said, no regrets.
It was amazing.
And I think I would have had some regrets, but the reviews were so fun from it.
Well, of course.
The Hollywood Reporter and Variety wrote up some amazing.
reviews and that made me feel really good.
The whole point of what I wanted to do,
like, okay, I'm going to be naked, so I better be good
instead of just being naked.
Although just being naked
probably works too.
Yeah, but she was pretty damn good.
She's pretty convincing.
I wanted the audience to forget about the fact
that I was naked running around the parking lot.
Not going to happen.
Getting killed and actually have
and actually have them be scared for me.
So, look at that.
There you go.
The actress that's in the movie for fucking 10 minutes.
Nez, what do you think about my bloody Valentine 2009?
I'll go last on this one.
I got to go out and yell at these kids.
You got to think about it.
I got to go yell at these kids out there.
All right.
All right.
Lance, you want to take over?
Oh, my God.
What a fucking treat this was.
I did not expect to love this movie.
as much as I loved it.
This was start to finish just nothing but gorgeous eye candy.
I wish I could have seen this in 3D.
Even just the opening sequence where they're showing the newspaper articles
and they're kind of like flying through the screen at you.
Oh, man, they tell the backstory.
And I swear to God, I was watching it on, I guess, HBO Max.
And I thought I'd fucked up.
You know how sometimes you can hit the remote and it like fast forwards
or goes to a different scene in the movie?
Like five, we're five fucking minutes in the movie, guys.
And we've already gone through, you know, the first part where it talks about, you know,
the articles talk about how he killed the other people that were in the mine with him.
And then all of a sudden, we're in the fucking party in the mine.
And I'm like, what?
Yeah, that's true.
They get to the action pretty quick.
They get to the action right away, which I absolutely love and respect the way they did that.
And it was just, it was good action too.
and it was very fucking scary.
And really well done.
Lots of great gore.
I really wish I could have seen it in 3D,
but I was so excited.
I'm like, well, what's going to happen?
Are they just going to be hiding in the mine for an hour and 25 minutes?
I mean, how in the fuck are they going to pull this off?
And then they kind of do where they tricked you.
Where, aha.
So this isn't really what the movie's about.
Like the climax of the movie isn't going to be the mind party.
The climax is obviously going to be something.
something totally different.
And then flash forward 10 years.
Now, I will say the acting was really, really bad.
I mean, really bad.
And a lot of the dialogue was just completely wooden.
Minus Miss Betsy Roo.
Well, that was, when you get to that scene,
and by the way, did you guys recognize,
you talked about who the riders were this movie.
Do you guys know one of the riders was that truck driver, right?
Yeah.
Oh.
Todd Farmer.
She's shocked.
Hang out of my casting couch here.
Yeah, she had to throw the gun at him
because he knew it was unloaded.
But, uh,
yeah,
I love that scene,
man,
that pulled me right in.
And I'm like,
are they really doing this?
It's like full frontal nudity in 3D.
And then when she gets under that bed,
and then the,
the little person comes in that's managing the motel,
and that person just gets picked up like Chuckie.
and put on the ceiling.
And then she's got, she goes under this bed, he pulls the top off.
She, she, you know, moves over to the wall.
He's, like, stabbing at her.
And I'm thinking, huh, maybe she's going to survive.
Nope, didn't happen.
I mean, there's just so many gory kills in this movie.
I think Nez said that the kill count on the first one was like 10.
God, the kill count on this one must have been, what, at least two dozen, Brian?
Well, yeah, you get that, you probably got the equal kill count from the beginning with the,
the hospital scene in the beginning of this one.
Oh, that's right.
That's kind of like the firefighter scene in the new Halloween movie, right?
Amazing.
As far as body count or whatever.
But, yeah, it was.
Okay, so the body count on this must have been at least 50 then.
Because there was nine in that hospital.
How many?
Nine.
Holy shit, dude.
And there were some great, great, great filmed, gory scenes there.
When it showed what the bodies looked like.
Yeah.
You know, and then I love the.
the, you know, when they would kind of like make you think one thing, but it was another.
I think the final twist was maybe a little bit, got a little bit predictable there a little sooner than
they thought it would be, for me at least.
But, no, I love this film, man.
This was a complete treat.
This was eye candy start to finish.
The action never let up.
You jump right into it.
I love the misdirect there at the beginning where they, you know, jump right into the mind.
And where in the world are they going to go from here?
well we flash forward 10 years so
don't have a lot of bad
bad things to say about this one guys
30 total
body count
yep I love it I love it
and some great kills
yeah like a third of came from that hospital
my only regret was that I didn't see it in 3D
so hopefully this one will come out in the theaters again
I was looking for it in 3D I couldn't find it
Brian what do you think
I'm trying to be positive
but part of me kind of wants to say fuck this movie
I watched the movie
I did have fun with it there was a lot of fun moments in there
but I kind of felt like as I said
for the original one I kind of felt like there was more character development
I kind of felt like they rushed past all that
in this one
when you because you get the opening scene
where everybody who's like 30 years old in real life,
but we're supposed to believe they're teenagers.
Well, I mean, they had to do a flash forward.
Come on, man.
I mean, you can use all different actors?
Yeah.
Okay, sure, fine.
That's cool.
That's cool.
But that's the point.
That's the point of this movie.
You don't need a lot of character development.
It's just like a slam bang, slam bam.
Thank you, ma'am from start to finish.
I don't know, maybe I was just in the movie.
move for it, man, because I've been watching
a lot of slow burn stuff lately, and this
was not slow burn.
And I had a lot of problems with the
digital stuff.
Yeah, I can just, I'm
I will always, I'm not saying
CGI is bad.
When it's done right, it's done
right. But
I'm always going to be a practical guy.
Well, of course. And
I was watching some behind the scene stuff,
and there was stuff that they actually
used. They
made practical, but they didn't use it.
I fucking hate that when I find out, like, the thing prequel,
they actually made practical effects for that movie that they turned around and said,
no, we're not going to use it.
We're going to go digital.
Yeah.
And I really hate when that happens,
when you have a movie that's supposed to be a fun slasher movie,
and you're going to go crazy with the kills.
Let's go practical.
It looks better.
I mean, just put the money into it.
And it kind of pisses me off.
And with that being said, I did have fun with it.
You know, Betsy Rue, you know, that whole scene was fun.
I always like, what's her name?
Jamie King, I like when she pops up in movies.
Oh, yeah.
Who doesn't?
Well, except for that new one, she's in when Bruce Willis was fucking awful.
I haven't seen that one yet.
You don't need to.
and shout out to Tom Atkins
It's always great when he pops up
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Legend
Unexpected
But just a little part of me
Just for the effects
It just wants me to kind of say
Fuck this movie
It just
It is what it is man
Yeah
I mean outside of the kills
They were fun
But I don't know
I was a little bit bored
In between the kills
With this movie
well at least you weren't bored long then and I didn't really like anybody in the movie
outside of I understand that outside sheriff Dewey or whatever
there's nobody likable in this movie I would have I wouldn't mind if they all got killed
at then they're all they're all very pretty that's for sure yeah well that this at the time when
this came out that's that's that was like the formula for these like
sure sure just get a bunch of good looking people and have them get killed
and they all died in the end at the end yeah right
but I I will say I did kind of appreciate they tried to change it from the original
with the little twist at the end yeah and that was pretty cool I guess
but yeah I can't I can't say I was a real fan of this movie though
fair enough uh I think I kind of like that I really wish that I had
watched it in 3D. I legitimately did look for it, and I know it's out there. I just don't have a lot of time. But I thought it was pretty good as far as remakes go, you know, because they didn't try to do something pretentious and fucking new with it. They just said, all right, well, that was an 80-slasher. Here's a new 80-slash-er, and we're going to throw it up on the screen and let it go.
And, uh,
remake came out the same year.
Was that?
Friday to 13th.
Ah, that was that year.
Okay.
But I think that's the kind of thing that remake should be though.
You know what I mean?
Like,
right.
Don't.
Don't try to black Christmas it.
Just.
I,
give the fans what they want.
I thought we were going to make it through a whole episode.
God damn it, Phil.
Nope.
Returns again.
And so in that part it was fun
I think it would have been way cooler in 3D
and I was kind of disappointed I didn't get to watch it
but
yeah Betsy Roo was fantastic
of course
you know because boobs
would have been better in 3D though
yeah definitely
I thought the kills were put that away
They had a lot of stuff coming at the camera
And this was a movie that was made to be watched in 3D
I think had we gotten to do that
Yeah for sure for sure
But that was you know
3D was huge in 2009
And then it just sort of fell off the map
Yeah
Because I think Drive Angry was right after this one right
Yeah I think so
I remember I got to go see it for my birthday
Which was pretty cool
But I don't know
Phil, what do you think, man?
I mean, I loved it.
Brian kind of hated it.
Are you in the middle?
I'm sort of in the middle on this one, too, because again, I'm not really particularly
a slasher person.
I had a lot of fun with this movie for what it was, but it's not something that I would
like pick to go out and watch.
You know what I mean?
So I think it kind of falls right in line with the 1981.
I wasn't disappointed in it.
but I wasn't like completely blown away either.
Yeah.
Although Betz you grew in 3D might have blown me away.
If you catch my drift.
Mine.
Hey.
But yeah, not bad.
I thought it was pretty distant.
Nez, you still around?
Yeah.
Did you see this in 3D, Brian?
I think I did.
I know I own it on 3.
I have a 3D disc of it
I never watched it
I think so
I don't remember
I was I was
I was a time in my life
when I was green a lot so
didn't make a huge impression it sounds like
no all right
well I did I saw this
that night it came out
I saw it in 3D
I wasn't expecting much
because I was like
oh you're remaking one of my
favorite childhood
horror slasher films
and I'm like, I already know who the killer is.
I went with some friends that didn't even see the original.
So I wasn't saying this out loud to them.
I was just thinking, alright, I already know who the killer is.
And then when that character was introduced in this one,
I'm like, okay, well, this is the killer.
Axel, for those you who didn't know his name in the original one.
Axel Rose?
Axel.
Axel does come back in this one
He's played by Kerr Smith
And Axel's a fucking asshole in this one
But um
So I was like okay
Yeah Tom Atkins
Always a bonus
To see him pop up in anything
So
Um
Jensen Ackles
I wasn't really a fan of his
I mean I did give
Supernatural a watch
So I wasn't like eh
I wasn't about that
And yeah
That Pad Lecky or whatever the hell
His name is for Friday
the 13th. I hated that movie the first time I saw it, but I love it now.
Movies hell of good.
I had to watch it over and over and over now. I love it.
He kills that one guy that implies that he was fucking that mannequin.
So, um...
A manikin, exactly.
Just put a hole in it.
Oh, God.
Nass.
A couple holes, three holes in it.
Aye, aye.
Use your imagination.
Yeah.
Anyway, so I'm watching it.
And yeah, man, this punches you right in the face from the get-go.
Because they're showing you what they kind of talked about in the original one.
So I liked how that, because I was like, is that how you're running this story?
But then we do, okay, this is a, this is a, the flashback.
And then we go flash forward 10 years and everyone's different.
Axel is a cop instead of just some dumb punk kid and everything.
and the kill start happening again.
I am not the one for 3D movies.
I loved all the 80s 3D movies because they were 3D movies.
But this is the one that I was like, all right,
it was hyped up to me as it was shot in 3D.
So I'm like, okay, cool.
So they're doing the tool, the dual camera thing,
not the converted bullshit that they're doing now.
So I'm like, all right, cool.
And the first 3D effect,
especially the beginning when you're seeing all these news clippings and all that nonsense.
It looks cool.
I was like, oh, man, that looks awesome in 3D.
And then once the kill start going and we get that first one, when that kid gets the pickaxe of the back of the head and the eyeball comes out the camera, huge pop.
Everyone, some people screamed a lot of it.
I was laughing because I was like, oh, that was awesome.
So I'm like, okay, that's the movie we're going to get to.
This is the ride.
This is how it starts.
And then it just, and it went.
each kill was cheesy and awesome.
I love that there was a mixture of practical and CGI.
There was one that, like Brian, I watched the special features on it.
There was one kill that I loved was when this girl got a shovel jammed in her mouth
and it like slice the top of her head off.
They actually made a physical top of her head that they were supposed to use in the film,
but then they just went with the CGI.
nonsense it looks dumb but it's it was still an awesome kill but okay that's what they're
going so I mean it's pretty much like the storyline story with the original but it's a
totally different movie I liked all the kills I liked everybody in it Jamie King I mean I
like when she pops up in the thing so I thought she did did her part but when we got to
the twist at the end which I did not see coming usually I can see especially with
these movies.
And at first I was like, I wasn't really sure
in how I thought about that,
how they changed the ending.
But then I was like,
well, okay. And I go back
to me like, well, when I was walking
in there, I was thinking, I already know who the killer is.
And I was wrong. So I was like,
all right, good for you guys.
But to me, the way
to see this film, I can still watch it now,
non-3D. But
seeing it in 3D,
I thought was just a really,
good time laughing, seeing
everybody jerk back
in their seats. Because with these conversion
films, you don't get that.
You don't get the people jumping in their seats
if something's coming at the
film or at the
audience out of the screen.
This, it
is of course dumb things.
I'm what's this? And then it's
they pointed out to the camera.
But I like
this. This is with the pickax.
All the scenes when that, when that,
when it was coming, when he swung in and hit the guy
in the back of the head and when
the one Ben Foley,
when he gets killed,
when he gets his head jammed onto it.
Or even when,
when Tom Akin gets it,
he gets it under the chin and it comes out of the
bottom out of his mouth and then they just
pull, he pulls it off
and tears the bottom jaw off. That was,
that was amazing. It was all CGI, but
it was cool. I love to
they're doing because when he pulls Tom
Atkins jaw off
you see him fall down the background
but then his jaw comes flying past
shooting towards the camera
and it's total CGII but I mean
I liked what they did with this
as goofy as it looked
um it was
enjoyable I mean I left the theater
like damn that was a good fucking
remake so I went and saw
a few times and I couldn't wait
to own it and I love
this movie
not as much as the original but I still love it
I think it was what it was it was they took an old tale
gave it a few twists gave it overhaul with the effects
and everything and I thought I did what it was supposed to do
I mean especially for the audiences of 2009
is that when this came out yeah I mean it loved it
I mean there was a lot of laughs I didn't hear many people
coming out of me were saying it was stupid but
it is what it is I mean it's
2009 and I thought it was a really good remake.
I was kind of like I don't want to see
kills we've seen already
in like we saw on the original one because usually
they kind of do that sometimes but
they went with a whole new
kills and I thought it was cool.
So but for this before to bring it
to an end, yeah, I love this one. I thought it was awesome.
Brian, you were wrong.
I know.
You're one for two.
On the nezometer.
All right.
Let's do scores, Lance.
Eight on ten.
Oh, wow.
Yep.
Impressive.
This would have been in my top ten for that year.
Easy.
Well, yeah, I think it was made more of like an experience than just a movie.
But, you know, it was 2009.
That's when like 3D TV.
and shit were coming out and they thought that 3D
was going to be the next big thing.
Yeah.
Wasn't, but
it's kind of cool.
Brian, what do you think?
I like Jamie King,
Betsy Rue, Tom Atkins.
Some of the kills were fine,
but the digital
effects I hated.
I didn't like anybody
in the movie as far as their character.
and all the stuff
flying at the screen
I guess you're supposed to feel like
whoa
look out
it didn't work for me
so
that's kind of funny
like over the top 3D
going out of their way to be 3D right
oh you guys
this movie was four you know
yeah I posted the
the original teaser for this movie
on uh in our group
and that shit is
ridiculous it's a pickax
are flying out the screen into the audiences and
and the flames yeah all the flames
Lance you would have been impressed by the fire
but yeah this is just kind of middle of the road for me
so five five ouch
I'm gonna go a little better I'm gonna say seven
I think it was solid it's fun
you know not my favorite movie in the world
but I'm not gonna go right out and watch it but
I enjoyed it for what it was.
Ness?
I give this one a nine.
I mean, I really enjoyed it.
It's happening.
The other thing that I loved about this,
the original as well as this one,
they didn't beat it into the ground.
They could have clearly did,
because at the end of the original,
we saw Axel get away.
And yeah, he was,
he was hurt.
hurt, but minus an arm, but he could have still came back.
But he never did.
That's why I'm glad they never did.
They didn't.
We didn't give us my bloody time, my bloody Valentine, 20 or something like that.
So, I mean, because the minor is, is a classic slasher killer.
I mean, it's rare to go to a horror convention and not see a cosplayer of them.
Because every time I do, I mean, some people do go, oh, the minor.
Not me. I'm always fucking Harry Warden.
And then whoever that is, it'll give me the pickax up.
Like right on, you know who I am.
So, I mean, that's what I loved it.
I mean, again, they didn't beat this story, this character, into the ground.
I mean, we didn't really have much as far as, like, collectible-wise stuff.
But since NECA came around, we just got the, however, 12-inch or however that big one with the cloth, the clothing.
And then the tiny, the tunny tears, that was.
one came out. So as far as I know, that's only two action figure wise. And that's cool. I'm going to get the
bigger one. But this franchise didn't go out of control because pretty much a lot of the serial
slasher killers, I mean, minus the big ones. I mean, they didn't really beat this into
the ground and they could have. I mean, of course it was the 80s trope. He's got a mask on. And
We can't see who the killer is, but I thought it was cool.
I mean, I don't know.
I'm sorry, man.
You know how they could have gone, Naz?
Hmm.
After this one, they could have done my bloody St. Patrick's Day?
Anything.
Right?
All the little holidays, right?
They can make a whole series of the minor holidays that we don't, oh, no pun intended, that we don't get days off work for.
That sounds terrible.
Fucking holiday war.
It does.
suck.
They
can I change my score.
They could have just went wild.
What did you say, Brian?
Can I change my score?
Yes.
I'm taking a point off.
Uh-oh.
Ness just made me remember the end of this movie where he's getting away and he
fucking looks at the camera trying to be all sinister.
Yes.
Yes.
Yeah, worth losing the point over, huh?
that's right
I mean
that was pretty bad
when he
when it went
that's right
he put on the
the fireman's
the uniform
and walked out
I'm careful
I totally forgot about that
nobody
even notices
it was like
why is this firefighter
still get his mask on
why is he limping out of the
you know do you need help
because they're there
they help people
but he comes out
like he he was the one that needed help and nobody says nothing then he for some reason he's not away from
everybody he takes his mask off I'm like why the fuck are you doing that you're not you haven't gotten
away yet and then he looks at the camera all like I'll be back kind of sinister look like no this
movie's a four he did a he did a professional oh god I love it I love it um and again and again
I'm, yeah, just remembering that.
I didn't watch this to, I've seen this a bunch of times, but
they didn't beat it in, they could have beat it into the ground.
They could have gave, they could have given us another one after that.
Oh, they will.
They'll black Christmas it up with the next one.
I mean, if they, they haven't done it in the long time.
So, I mean, I have a feeling if they've been over 10 years now.
I mean, it's, I don't know.
know. I hope they just leave alone. Yeah, I mean, it's fine. This movie is fine the way it is. It's done. It's made. It's in its horror remake history. Leave it alone. Don't give us another one. But then I'm sure someone's listening to this. You know what? Fuck these guys. I'm going to make another one. Well, if you do make another. Yeah, you better put my name in the credits. But if you do make another one, think about it and make it good. Don't do, don't do these cash-ins like these motherfuckers that are doing.
with the Emityville stuff.
Or come up with your own Valentine's horror movie,
a crazy X or something.
You know?
That's what this was.
There's a few of those.
I mean,
yeah, literally.
If you're going to do it,
do it good.
Make it a movie worth us like praising
other than a majority of the stuff we watch.
Like,
I have a movie was crap.
But, I mean, make it good.
I mean, even all you guys that are making these,
Friday 13s and Halloween's and all that with these classic characters.
They really need some work on this Chuckie bullshit.
I don't even fuck what anyone said.
This shit's terrible.
But just think about what you're doing with these characters.
Again, a lot of these new,
a lot of you new jacks out there that are watching all these for the first time,
go back and watch the old shit.
You probably will laugh at it.
Fine.
It's made to be laughed at.
I laugh at it too, but I still love it.
but if you're going to bring in classic characters make it good i mean not like like brian
what the when he was talking about his his um texas chainsaw stuff not all those movies were good
maybe i did like texas chancel t3 um but i'm trying to think how many of those fucking
movies are there i want to say nine
Jesus Christ
Brian can tell you
You three, four, four, six, seven, eight
There's nine
Yeah
You nailed it
I have all of them
So I mean I'm a completest
I mean I have next generation
I have leather face
That the last one they made
You have to have next generation
Yeah I had to
It was a screen factory
Slipcover edition
I had to have it
So I bought it
But I'm fucking I kicking myself
I miss up
I miss part two, the
Scream Vactor one. But anyway.
Paying those prices now.
No, I'm not paying that price.
I'm hoping Scream Factory does a steelbook for it.
They'll get you. They'll get you, Naz.
They know when you're coming.
Yeah, they just, again, if you're going to do another one,
make it good. Other than that, leave it alone.
Because I think the original one still stands up today.
Who knows? Maybe what? It's been over 10 years for me
watching this one since I first saw in the theater.
and it still holds up.
I still get some enjoyment each time I watch it.
I'll probably watch it.
If I don't watch it right after we watch the original one tonight,
maybe tomorrow night, we'll watch it.
But I think both of these movies still hold up.
All right.
Well, Nez, we got a few re-uploads.
We put back on the website, courtesy of Blank, bleep,
micking, fricking music.
But other than that, what else?
Yeah, what else do you guys have up on the site recently?
What site?
On yours?
You got wrestling returns?
Rodels.
Come on.
Help me out here.
We talked about the Requiem.
I don't even know what we did.
What was the last thing we did?
Was that Ricklin?
You got to listen to the Action USA review.
Oh, your invasion, USA.
Everybody blows up randomly.
Yeah.
the action returns in episode
40. Damn, 49. We're almost
to 50. You gotta
watch the movie first because you got to see
Richard Lynch shooting people
on the dick and
throwing women out of windows.
They blow a whole neighborhood up on Christmas.
With rocket launchers, they don't
need to reload.
Oh, wow. Yeah, watch it.
I think it was it, Tooby. Was that what it was on?
Tubey. Yeah, watch Invasion USA
if you haven't seen it before you listen.
to Brian and I.
And then check out our bonus episode, The Rec One.
We've got to watch some of those Indian horror movies.
Have you seen those?
Uh-uh.
I've heard about it.
The horror or the action Bollywood movies.
Bollywood?
Yeah, the action Bollywood movies.
They look hilarious.
We ought to do a commentary.
I guess we could.
If you want to watch a...
I think it's Bollywood horror
I don't know if it's on
Netflix anymore but I think it was called
Dar at the mall
I think that's what it was
Dar at the mall why not
Oh it's DAA yeah
They're like
dodging bullets and
Bouncing all over the place
It's chaos
Yeah this one it's
supposed to be a
horror film.
I remember we covered it on
the padded room.
It's labeled a horror movie.
During a inaugural party for one of the
largest malls in Asia, a newly
recruited security guard must work
to stop a supernatural threat.
Talk about
Bollywood and a horror movie.
Yeah.
Yeah. If you guys
ever want to brave this one.
Dude, this movie was, it's two hours and four minutes long.
No, come on, Nas, stop.
I was like, come on.
When is this over?
Oh, my God.
Is there a dance sequence at the end?
Dude, it's like a big 10-minute video in the middle.
Yeah, of course there is.
Oh, I was like, what that?
This was my first Bollywood movie.
And I was like, if this is how, I was like,
if this is how it is,
I don't think I can sit through.
Who knows?
Maybe there's better one.
But this one,
this one I watched was,
oh my God.
I got through the whole movie.
I don't even remember how it ended,
but I was just like,
the only thing I remember was that 10-minute dancing.
It was like a video.
That was your idea.
I was like, did someone?
I've seen so many like clips of what looks like,
you know,
80s,
commando stuff
and then
like the guy will
jump and step on his gun
and do like 16 backflips in the air
they're all fucking crazy it's so
without landing

Chucky.
It's the little guy.

He was lighting up full of.
I've seen another video.
He's got some sweet dance movies.
