Join us in celebrating the old and the new, the best, and the worst in horror. To the horror returns, I'm Lance, and with me as always are my co-host, Brian and Philip. This might actually be the week we get on YouTube.

Don't hold your breath. I've been trying for a couple of weeks, but we'll see what happens. Mastered TikTok, but YouTube is a, is a little bit longer but what do you what do you guys think about trying to get just the review part up on youtube yeah whatever yeah what do we got to do we got to do we got to hold off on the cursing for the first five minutes or something like that no it ain't gonna happen i'll do my best all right them this is the youtube rules ah you can't get monetized on it for a while anyway

but i have seen people edit their videos to they throw on the little beeps in there in the beginning and then after like five minutes they just let it go let it go okay well something to think about food for thought all right you guys want to jump into cool of the week yeah I'll go first because I'm super

busy with family shit so the only thing I got to watch in matter of fact I just watched it right before we jumped on the first episode of Tales from the Walking Dead oh nice is that the one with Harry Cruz Terry Cruz, Olivia Munn, and there was a third actress in there.

I don't know her name, but she did look familiar. Yeah, it's just a, it's part of an anthology. You know, they're in the universe, and Terry Cruz is like a, try not to spoil it. He's kind of like a prepper, doomsday prepper. Oh, yeah. So he kind of knew this was happening, but he basically, he ends up going on a road trip because he wants to go find somebody because, you know, he's lonely.

You know, I don't know when this takes place. It kind of feels like maybe it's years into the zombie apocalypse or whatever. Okay, so you think it's later than where the show is now or before? No, it has to be like a year or two into it. Okay.

And then he leaves to go find this person and on the way there, he runs into it. Olivia Munn's character and then they kind of join up to because she's also going somewhere looking for somebody and yeah different terminology for

for walkers and I think they called them toe taggers. To taggers. Okay. Just call her zombies. Right. Why don't we keep doing this? Everything but.

Yeah, it wasn't bad but it wasn't you know if I probably if I watched anything else this week. It probably wouldn't have been the cool of the week, but that's not a bad thing. It's not a knock.

It's just they didn't really, they didn't really do nothing that wowed me. You know, I'm going to keep watching it, but. Right, right. And I think when we reviewed the teaser trailer, I kind of, I think I said I kind of felt like maybe the production value was a little higher, or it looked like it was a little higher. This one, it did not look like that.

So I don't know, because I don't know if they're having different directors. for each episode. They spend all their money on Terry Cruz. Yeah. Still want to know why he's so big. Was there... Was there... Rated all the protein chicks.

Was there some comedy in it? I mean, like, was it, like, at least somewhat comedic? I would not say comedic, a little lighthearted. The banter between him and Olivia Munn, kind of getting to know each other. Right, right. Because they kind of meet on different circumstances. You know, you got to be Larry when you run into other people into Walking Dead.

Sure, yeah. The banter back and forward was kind of lighthearted, not too comedic. Hmm, okay. It's okay. I think the next episode has Parker Posey in it. Man, haven't seen her in a while. Yeah, and then it has another actress. I can't think her name, but she's been in a lot of comments.

So I think the next one will be a little bit more comedic. All right. Well, I guess that's a cool thing about one-offs. They can do whatever they want, right? Yeah. And I think it's AMC Plus exclusive. Probably. Yep. All right. Oh, yeah. Better call Saul the finale's tonight. I was surprised it wasn't already up on AMC Plus at midnight. You got to wait till 8 like everybody else.

I'm so behind on that show. We got caught up last night. I've never even started it. Really? Yeah, I've heard good things. Well, did you watch Breaking Bad? Yeah. Ah, okay. You kind of have to then at some point, man.

Yeah, I'll probably wait until it's done, done. Yeah, they did a good job because when the show started, I was like, do we really need a show about this character? Yeah. And they did a real good job of his whole backstory and how he became who he was. and it's a good show with just, you know, another show that just got lost in the shuffle with all the 10,000 other shows

that are going on. Yeah. Yeah. I'm still keeping my sticky note, guys, of everything I need to watch. The left-hand side is shows that AJ will not watch with me and the right-hand side

is shows that I figure she'll probably watch with me. What's like the number one show she will not watch with you? She doesn't like anything. thing with demons in it. So, like, if I watch Evil, which I'm thinking about starting, she's definitely out.

That one's not bad. I've been watching it. Yeah. I heard it's a good show. Brian, have you seen it? I watched probably half of the first season, and I liked it, but again, another show that just got. Yeah.

It's not as far as they make it out to be in the trailers. I think it got more serious as the show. show went on. Well, they still have like the comedic trailers, even like if they're just previewing the next episode. I'm like, that's not the tone of the show at all. I don't know why they're doing that. Whatever works, man.

And then, uh, uh, Brian, were you done with Cool of the Week? Yep, that's all. All right. Then I've been watching, um, aside from some evil, uh, I finally started supernatural. I've never actually watched it. Oh, that's going to be a. Good luck on that one. Yeah.

That's good to be a chore. A lot of episodes. I may take some breaks on that one. Sure, sure. But it's better than I expected it to be. I always sort of saw it as like a silly CW kind of show. Kind of a preteen type thing. Yeah.

And the guys are pretty cool, man. They've got a cool car. There's cool music. They're killing demons. It's set up for the most part where it's very, episodic, like they have a different monster in each episode, which too many shows are getting away from. I mean, I know it's kind of obvious and you eventually run out of shit to do, but it's also fun and it doesn't make itself too seriously. All right.

Cool, man. Yeah, I might... Like Hercules days, you know? Well, I was going to say, I might check it out. Who the fuck am I kidding? I'm not going to invest in that, man. If it was like six or ten episodes of season, I might. Yeah, but they got a lot of episodes.

Yeah, I think all that stuff's changing, though, because they canceled the flash and all like that. Oh, and it had nothing to do with Ezra Miller because he's the flash in the other. No, there's a big Warner Brothers shakeup, because, you know, Discovery owns Warner Brothers now. And they brought it, they brought in a new executive. And I guess with, like, D.C., they're doing like a, they got a 10-year plan. They're like shelving. shows and canceling this and saying we're going to put the respect into the characters

that deserves and I think... Maybe that's a good thing. Yeah, I think they're going to keep a couple of characters as who they are, but just we'll probably end up seeing a reboot. Yeah. And I know on HBO Max some of their like HBO Max original

movies and shows, they had pulled them. Okay. Because I guess they're going over, they're going with quality over quantity. Well, that sounds good. Good sound bite anyway, right? Yeah, well, I kind of was reading about the new guy, because I'm sure you guys probably read the Batgirl movie that they spent $90 million.

They ended up shelving it, even though it's finished. I guess one thing that he did was, I guess he told the actors and actresses that they want to continue working with them. It wasn't them that fucked the movie up. It was the people handling the movie. And I guess the guy previously running Warner Brothers was not too liked by the people that they worked with. Eesh. Man, it's got to be really bad to have it done and shelf it.

I know to spend that much money, $90 million. And what I also heard, it was a tax thing too by shelving it. Oh, come on. And I guess they're saving, they're going to end up saving like $20 million. instead of losing 90. I don't know how that works with taxes. I know they can't... Boggles my mind, man.

They can't ever release it, though, since they're doing that. Huh. Oh, you can bet there's going to be a copy somewhere out there. Oh, they'll be elite. Yeah. Somebody is selling bootleg back to... And then... And then...

And then there'll be a porn parody. And then there'll be an asylum version that's called, like, COVID. girl or something. Yeah. I guess the big problem is the Flan chick. The big problem is the Flash movie because I guess Oh yeah. He's off the

reservation, man. But I guess the reports are the movie's actually good so Uh-oh. I mean, he was good as the Flash. He's just a fucking psychopath. Yeah, they said for sure he's done after the movie comes out. I agree.

I think he should be. He's just got arrested over the weekend again. He just got arrested again? How does he keep getting out? He's the flash, man. Come on. He gets arrested every other week. Does his crime and he gets out of there fast.

All right, Lance, you got it cool? Yeah, Mike, well, let me go with my not-so-cool of the week first. Because this movie Ropa Dock or this TV series Ropa Doked me in big time. Because it started out okay, but a little weird. Then it got really, really, really good. And then the last two episodes just fucking fucked me, man. Just absolutely makes no sense at all. The way they ended it made zero sense.

It was a cliffhanger, but it's one that I, it's one of those cliffhangers on a series that you hope it doesn't lead into a second series. Because quite frankly, you're at the point where you don't want to know what the fuck's really going on. But this is a show on Prime called Open, Open Range. Oh, with the Thanos. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And man, it just, it got so good.

Like the halfway through the season and we were hooked. And then all of a sudden it just completely disintegrated into I don't know what the fuck was going on. Really? All these storylines. And yeah, they didn't tie a single thing up. And it was just very, very, man, just unappealing at the end there. Like it just, it pissed me off. AJ and I looked at each other and said, why the fuck did we just invest eight hours in that or whatever it was?

I hate that. Man, yeah, that's my not so cool of the week, but They lost you. They lost me, man. They, like, they, like, lost Jack Felty. All right, cool of the week. The Return of Live Music, guys. Not my favorite type of music, but last Saturday I went to see

Garth Brooks. No social distancing there. There were 95,000 people in attendance. Live music is back with a, vengeance. So, Phil, we did have tickets to go, or we were going to get tickets to see what was in Mudvane and Rob Zombie. Yeah. But like we changed our plans because the kids going back to school and stuff like that. But so I've got, I've got tickets in September to see porcupine tree. Probably 1% of our listeners know who the fuck they even are. Very obscure progressive rock band.

But they had, they had broken up and they said they would never tour together again in all of a sudden this album comes out that nobody knew was coming out so it's good to see them back and touring and uh feel we're going to see the jason bonham led zeppelin experience aren't we in december oh yeah i forgot about that so when is that now uh fuck december something i've got oh yeah because they moved the date on us but we'll uh we'll be there for that one right sure i'll be there yeah live live music's back no no rockahoma this year i think my old heart can't can't take it anymore but uh Brian you got any good good shows coming up there to Alaska um so out of the loop up here I know over the weekend the the building I work at the what's his name

just DJ to DJ Aoki okay so I know I know the venue I work at they always have somebody I never know until I'm like the weekend after so do you get to see the shows for free if I do I probably wouldn't go I'm not into people I guess the crowds man yeah I get some social anxiety sometimes yeah I used to go it's like all right you too close to me I used to go when I was younger but that was you know with my brother and my friends and yeah well thank God thank God for Blu-rays, right? Where you can watch the concert in the comfort of your own home with whatever

refreshments you choose to indulge in, right? Yeah, even when we got a movie that we're reviewing in the theaters, I try to go when there's like hardly nobody there. Yeah, me too. Yeah, nobody in the theater is a great experience. For showing, please. Yeah. Yeah, Black Saint style, Brian.

Yeah, oh, yeah. Pull your pants down if you want to. All right, that's it, man. Any headlines, Ryan? Yeah, we got a few. This is probably about a good two weeks built up of news. Of course, we start with TV. Netflix has ordered a fourth season of Love, Death, and Robots.

Nice. Nice. You caught up, Phil? Yeah. That shows random as hell, but I like it. Right? but Netflix has canceled first kill after one season. Wow, didn't get that.

Yeah, and I guess one of the producers came out and it just basically was like Netflix never promoted the show or pushed it. They just kind of put it out there and then... It was a good show, man. Yeah. I mean, I didn't hear a lot of people talk about it, but when I did hear people talk about it, they said it was good. I think it just They didn't promote it like their bigger shows Just kind of put it on Netflix

Sure Nobody probably watched it Because they didn't know about it And you know Netflix likes to cancel things anyways Yeah Santa Cleary to die it They need to at least make a movie Oh that was so weird

Such a popular show And then they're just like oh canceled On a cliffhanger too I don't get it I don't get it Uh I don't know if anybody even cares anymore. The Walking Dead's Daryl Dixon spin-off series.

We'll see the character go to France. How does he get there? He rides his bike all the way to France. Are you serious? I don't know if he rides... Oh, Jesus Christ. Rides in a helicopter with Rick to the UK and then rides his bicycle through the channel, I guess, huh?

I'm more interested in the Rick Michone thing just because I want to know where Rick's been this whole time than Darrell Dixon ended up in France. That makes no fucking sense, man. Maybe the whole season is just him being a pirate. That'd be cool. Yeah, that piqued my interest there. There'd have to be more ships out there to steal from.

Sure, sure. Let's see Noah Wiley's Alien series on FX will officially begin production next year so it is green lit and officially ready to go

Noah Wiley No, is that what I said? Noah Hawley Oh, okay, yeah Noah Wiley was the guy in ER, right? Yeah, he's not doing nothing. Well, he was in that one alien show the one with

God damn it He was like an alien person No he was in a predator thing right He was in one Falling Skies right Wasn't he the main guy in Falling Skies The Alien Invasion show I'm sure he's a nice guy

But he has nothing to do with this project Okay all right Is this alien in general or alien like The brand The brand Okay what time period does it take place they said I think it will

it has nothing to do with Ellen Ripley so it won't be like a recasting of the character or bringing Sigourney Weaver back so probably after okay hmm all right interesting or during

you never know maybe it'll be space pirates with Darrell Dixon yes one more a little bit of TV news Kurt and his son Wyatt Russell

will be in the Godzilla spin-off show, Godzilla and the Titans. Nice. Yikes. It's a big name to get in a TV show. No kidding. Yeah, and I like his son, Wyatt. I'd like to see him more.

You know, anti-Captain America. Mm-hmm. Killing people with the shield. Right, right. Let's see. Run, sweetheart, run. This movie was supposed to come out like two years ago, and Amazon has, I guess, purchased it,

and it's coming out October 28th on Prime. Okay, is that a, is it like a American remake of Run, Lola Run, or what is it? I know she does some running. I think she goes on like a, one of those, I think she goes on a date. She meets on one of those online dating things.

Oh, boy. I guess, if I remember the trailer, it's been a while since I've seen it. I think he reveals himself to be a serious, killer and he wants her to run. Oh, okay. It looked like it was going to be good, so I don't know why it got shelled for so long. Oh.

Also on Amazon Prime, my best friend's exorcism, September 30th. That's got to be a comedy. Do not know what it is. I assume so. The remake of Good Night Mommy is coming to Amazon Prime also September 16th, so over the next few months they're dropping a whole bunch of movies on Amazon Prime. A lot of horror, thriller-related content. Yeah, trying to compete with Shutter a little bit, I guess.

Nice segue, Lance. VHS-99 is coming to Shutter October 20th. There you go. We might have that one on the schedule, because I don't think we reviewed any of them. BHS movies have we not that I could recall I think we've covered a few of them in the 31 days of Halloween or whatever yeah we talked about them a lot we never actually reviewed one yeah we might throw that one on the schedule I know me and me and as we did the series but uh we recorded one for BHS 95 and uh that one never came out just all I have to say is it it just needs to be it needed to be re-recorded because we were both tired and maybe one of us was green. I don't know.

Lost in the annals of time. Somebody's going to find it and put it out when they put out a Batwoman or whatever it is. Some stuff might have been talked about. Some actors might have been mentioned that had nothing to do with the movie. Yikes. How does the VHS even actually work, man? Let's see.

from Handmaid's Tale and Hereditary. She has joined the cast of Blumhouse's Exorcist trilogy, the sequel to the original movie. Okay, well, she's creepy, that's for sure. So now those are full-length movies, right, that they're going to do here? Direct sequels from the original. I think they're Red Continent. All the other Exorcists movies are just...

No more Exorcist. the heretic anymore, huh? No, not, what was the James Earl Jones? Isn't he like spitting out of tomato or something? I don't know, man. See, some of those get lost on me, like two or three or whatever. I can't even really remember a whole lot of money. They run together.

Yeah, the beginning. Three's good. Okay. Three's good. It's not ridiculous? I thought it was ridiculous. The two's ridiculous. Oh, okay.

Three is pretty good The Dominion or whatever it was The prequel one was just too long The series was good Yeah Didn't they like Okay Were there two versions of that movie that got released?

Yes Okay I remember seeing both of them And I was like I swear to God I've already watched this movie I think it was like a director problem And I think somebody else did the second version of it So Yeah

And they were almost the exact same movie. Yeah. Let's see. Keanu Reeves. What was that? Double dipping. Double dipping. Keanu Reeves is set to star in Hulu's the Devil in the White City, which is produced by Martin Scorsese.

And I thought Leonardo DiCaprio was in it, but he is just on as a producer. Interesting. So is this like a serial killer? Yeah. It's the guy that made the murder hotel. They kind of based part of that American Horror Story Hotel on his story. He made all the little passageways. Exactly.

Yeah. And then he had like a lot of the guys that built the house were buried in the concrete in the house. So is Keanu going to be like that's an insane story, man. Is Keanu the main guy then? Probably. I hope he has some guns. Oh, man. Yeah, I think he was into like.

a lot of torture and stuff like that. Like he gets stuck in a hallway and he put him in a room and starve him to death or something like really sick. How do you get away with shit like that for that long? Well, it was, the World's Fair was going on, man. Everybody was out watching the World's Fair. Yeah, that's crazy. We are getting more sequels to the strangers, three to be exact. Wow. And I think they're filming them back to

to back. No doubt. And Rennie Harlan is directing at least one of the upcoming sequels. There was a rumor about a paranormal activity 8 coming out. That rumor is not true. Yeah, maybe it's time to stop now.

I wouldn't mind if they were straight to streaming. Really? Yeah. I don't think I even watched the one what's called Next of Ken or something like that?

We reviewed it. I think I missed that one. That's another one where they all sort of start running together after the first couple. Did we review it? Did I watch it? I think you did, Lance.

Oh, no. Is that the one of the little blonde girl? No, that was a different one. See, I didn't like, I didn't hate the new one, but I didn't like it. I liked that it was a totally different story. wasn't just the same plotline.

Wasn't it like the Mormons or the... Yeah. Yeah, I don't think I saw it, man. If I did, I must have really been out of it. You were there, I remember. Uh-oh. Tavares was there with us. Next of Kim?

I don't think I saw it, man. It was on your favorite streaming platform, Paramount Plus. Oh, man, I'm going to have to go back and listen. I must not like it very much. Maybe you weren't there, I don't know. I don't know, dude. I'm trying to make a list. You've done so many episodes.

Like, when I do the schedule, I got to go back to, because sometimes I put down movies that we've already done, and I've got to double check. Well, we've done the thing twice, and there's one other movie we've done twice. I can't remember what it was, but, uh, God damn it. Should be like Kevin Bacon one.

We need to do that again. No. We need to make a mass list, man. We might do Psycho. end up doing that twice because I had put a poll up of which franchise people want us to do next in Psycho franchise one. Oh, wow. I didn't even catch that, so maybe we'll have to get that for feedback

next week. I watched Vince Vaughn one not too long ago. I heard it's not too bad. It's not bad. It's just a straight up reshaping piece, Anne H. That's a horrible way to go out. Who? N. H. Oh, yeah. Yep. True. Yeah.

Died from head trauma, but they also said she was so badly burnt, too. Mm. Mm. That'll happen. All right. Well, let's not leave on a somber note. Rose Byrne, officially coming back for Insidious Five, and that's the one that would be directed by Patrick Wilson. Okay. I heard about that.

What else is he directed? as far as I know I think this is his first one and I think uh I think he was really kind of I think they said he was really paying attention and following along with James Juan like the movies they worked at him that would be cool so essentially I think the characters from the the first two movies are coming back like the kids are older oh good good yeah yeah that that last key lost me man Man, that one, that was... Yeah, I forgot about that. That was bad. And I just kind of threw this in there, no real news, but we might get some big news on the Friday the 13th franchise.

Okay. So they might have finally struck a deal to actually get some... Something, because can't even get new updates on the video game because of this lawsuit. Right. Right. You know, we're due for some reboots of Freddie and Jason. I think so, man. Yeah, they're leaving too much money on the table. I think the Freddie one will happen before Friday 13th,

because it seems like West Craven's family is more open to doing something as long as it's a good idea. Okay. Then this ridiculous lawsuit with Friday 13th, who owns what and who came up with what? but I think we'll get Freddie back sooner. That sucks. Jason's a cooler character.

Yeah, maybe they'll close out the credits with Nightmare on My Street. You remember that one? All right, that's it. All right. Philip, trailer park? Let's go on down to the trailer park. We're going to bring you the big, the small, and sometimes very weird. Brian, what we got?

this is listed as a horror comedy okay the menu all right a young couple traveled to a remote island to eat an exclusive restaurant where the chef has prepared a lavish menu

with some shocking surprises sounds interesting pretty good cast here ania tale of joy is it Ray finds I think so Rafe Fines Rayf Fines

Why does he spell it around I never could figure that out It's a British thing I guess Nicholas Holt and John Leguizamo This is directed by Mark Mark my Lyd I think how you pronounce it I looked him up

He seems to have done a lot of TV He did like Worked on Game of Thrones For like two years directing Wow Wow that's some crad right there I'm going to throw it to you first, Lance. Oh, I'm going to be all over this, man.

I actually saw the, it wasn't this trailer, it was a slightly shorter one. Yeah, I guess the teaser. I saw it like three or four months ago, and I rushed home to show AJ because we're big foodies. My wife loves to cook. She's worked her way up to a district manager with a, you know, with a company that sells kitchenware, cutlery and stuff like that. So she is a spitfire in the kitchen, Philip, you know that. Yeah. And we just fucking love everything about food.

She loves everything about cooking. I love everything about eating. So it's a great relationship made in heaven. But we have visited some Michelin Star restaurants, and it's definitely an event. I mean, you're there for three or four hours, right? Because they bring you the dishes out one at a time and let you kind of sit there and savor it. you know have a glass of wine or something sparkling water between meals or whatever and then they usually end it with like some sorbet and then a dessert so it this this movie this movie was

made for us man have you been to one that will give you a 45 second head start to run that is what entreats me is is this going to be kind of like the hunt that's what i kind of got is like the food network mixed with the hunt i'm hoping that's a mystery I'm hoping it's not that on the nose because we've had an awful lot of movies. Well, we've had an awful lot of movies with that lately, right? They're eating people, you know? And, well, it's all based on the most dangerous game.

Yeah, I'm kind of intrigued by the interactions with Ray Fines and Ania Tell Joy. Right. Especially, it's like, you're neither one of us or one of them, so I don't know which side she is. Yeah. Like, is she food or is she one of the... And she's really her character, the way her character comes off, like she would never be with a guy like Nicholas Holt's character. Yeah?

They didn't seem to. Like that scene where he's talking about Malfield. And she's like, don't ever say that again. He's trying to take pictures of the food. She's just kind of looking at him and what the fuck. Yeah. This looks like a fun movie, man. I hope there is an extra twist.

I hope it's not just that straightforward, you know? It's just Gordon Ramsey chasing out. after the lambs. And I would assume with John Leguizamo, that's where we're probably going to get majority of the comedy from. I would imagine. Yeah. I would hope so.

Anya Taylor Joy is pretty funny in her own right. Yeah. Can she be? Yeah. It's a good cast, man. I'll definitely watch this. Although we've seen movies with a really great cast. Bomb before. Of course. It can happen. Nicholas Holt can be funny as hell

in that TV show The Great that he's in where he plays Peter the Great, he's hilarious. And I'm coming around on your tale of joy. I never, I always knew she was a good actress, but I think it was just the far part eyes thing. That'll get you. That'll get you. But I rewatch,

I rewatched the Northman. I think she gives a fucking, awesome performance in that one and I kind of went into a rabbit hole of like North mythology that they were including in there that you might have missed and stuff like that. Oh wow

all right. I've been kind of curious about that lately too. I may end up down that same rabbit hole. Yeah, rewatched a movie and then there's like a whole bunch of like YouTube videos where they kind of like do a deep dive on you know this stuff like that like the Valkyry that shows up in it

a lot of people were thinking that the Valkyrie actress or something had braces on or something But I guess in North mythology or whatever the case maybe I might have been saying it wrong but I guess they filed designs into their teeth

Oh okay Okay So it was like little stuff like that You find out you kind of have a little bit Better appreciation for the movie Like the details and stuff like that that sounds like a not very good idea yeah happens to your enamel

yeah I've been going fucking nuts from having half a tooth missing that I'm finally getting starting to get filled in I can imagine your whole goddamn mouth being sharp but yeah the cast had me intrigued and then me and my wife were also food fans and

yeah I mean I'm hoping that it's not a straight hunt style movie. There's, you know, the synopsis says shocking surprises. So, okay. I want to be shocked, I guess. I don't want to see something. Or especially I don't want to see something coming and then it happens.

Exactly. Yeah. My thoughts, too. Maybe she's the crazy one. I don't know. Maybe all these people are the dangerous ones. Yeah, maybe he's just killing assholes. It could be.

Maybe they'll start a whole franchise, huh? Like Saw? Yeah. This will come out just in time for the holiday seasons, November 18th. Maybe Nicholas Cage would show up in his role from Pig. I can only hope. I bet he could cook a person. I'll bet.

All right. On to listener feedback. Listen to feedback. This week, the podcast spotlight shines on Our Bloody Obsession with Join Zobo with the shotgun and venal anatomica of the spinsters of horror as they dissect the most disturbing movies ever made. Oh, that'll be an interesting one. A gorecast for the extreme created by two women whose bloody obsession is with all things nasty. I bet it is. This podcast is not for the faint-hearted.

violence, gore, torture, and extreme horror. So check that out. Our bloody obsession. That's fun. Brian posted a poll in the group. Are you still getting in the water after Shark movies? An astounding 86% so far have said yes. Al Ramsaurus said, oh, nope, that was, yeah, that was Al. He said, I'm from Florida. You got to shoot me.

and then Tim Davis says I'm from Australia you'd also have to shoot me and they've got like the crazy monsters out there Oh shit I don't want to shot either

Zim Vader says No nor would I send my child out unsupervised on a banana boat Hey That happened Eric King posted a picture of a couple in bed But yeah, you know, the meme with the dude turned the other way and says her.

Oh, yeah. I bet he's thinking about other women. Him. How did the monster from Jeepers creepers not only register a vehicle but also get a personalized plate? That's a good question. It doesn't work as well when I explain it. Maybe in the state they were in the all mailing forms, I guess. Maybe.

Anything's possible, I guess. Maybe in the layer he, maybe in his layer he had the internet. I don't know. They don't discriminate. Yeah. This driver's license look like. Nice. All right.

Regarding the Jaws Revenge commentary, Tim Davis says, I cannot wait. Zim Vader says when you're so intent on seeking revenge that you'll eat a plane. Yeah. Russell A. Calhoun says, this is one case where the novelization was far superior to the movie. The novel explained how the shark was able to travel to the Caribbean, and Hogi was more of a fleshed out character. And it had voodoo in it.

Great novel, shitty movie. Oh, voodoo. See, that would have explained a lot. Yeah. Would it? Maybe, I don't know. I think it would have just been another thing added. Yeah.

guess. Can't sound that turd. Regarding Amityville Wednesdays, Beed Your Mind says, if you need something, if you need someone to come and talk about those weird STV Amityville, you know who to call.

There you go, Brian. Well, indeed. Brian, what's the status, man? Was there one this week? Yeah, Amity. I missed it. Amityville to the possession. It takes place

It takes place before the first movie And it is Nez's favorite one out of the franchise So are you serious Oh my God dude All right yep here it is Amityville the possession from 1982 Okay

And this week's episode Amityville 3D will be a short one If you want to listen to a full review on it go over to Nez's network go back a couple of years to 31 days we did a full review on that one

so so this one I'm probably going to focus on trivia okay if you if you must is it good or is it is this one of the shittier ones we're not into the shitty ones in my opinion yet

not yet okay got a little base to go yet I three's not the greatest but I enjoy it because I just remember it from watching it as a kid. Sure. I've probably seen three, two and three before I even saw the original one when I was a kid. Okay. Man, that whole genre of movies just falls by the wayside for me. I can't remember a single thing happened in any of them.

Yeah, I just remember Margot Kidder doing the weird nude ballet dancing. Oh, you guys. in the first one. You got to watch the second one. Is there more? More ballet dancing? There's some uncomfortable storylines

happening that. I'm sitting there watching a movie. I'm not trying to spoil my own review, but I'm sitting there watching a movie. I'm like, this isn't really happening. This is all in his head. And then it cuts to another scene confirming that to happen.

I'm just like, what the fuck am I watching? All right, well, it gets uncomfortable. And then you read trivia and they had to change it because if they would have did the original version, there would have been even more uncomfortable stuff in the movie. Yikes. Based on a true story, huh? They're truth. Fucking probably.

Allegedly. The version they wrote to sell their book. Let's see. Al Ramseur was talking about an interview that we posted and says, did you all interview Zazi Beats? We wish. I wish. I think that was the Hollywood reporter.

Right. We're just passing it along. They stole our name. They stole our name. Let's see. Regarding Kiercy Clemens joining the cast of Godzilla and the Titans, Wilfred Posicle. says jadeur look at what's that mean what's that mean means i love it oh okay she's a good actress

Henry Waugh says, Hi, I thought you might be interested in hosting a Q&A to discuss the latest from psychologist and award-winning dark fiction author Paul de Blasier, de Blase, the third, an unforgettable chilling story that will haunt your nightmares.

Goddess of Everything, a blood-curdling tale of a mother's affection for her son, and her son's struggle for truth, freedom, and love. She's like breastfeeding him when he's 324 months old.

says Black Adam looks good. I just don't like how Black Adam is, I wanted to say B.A. Because that's how he wrote it and it's funny. I just don't like how B.A. is being promoted as an anti-hero instead of a super villain. True.

Yep. Well, I really, just everything we talked about earlier with Warner Brothers, just everything I read about the guy that took over, he seems intent on fixing things. Okay. Well, that would be nice.

He even gave credit to Marvel and how they've been doing it, basically saying we should have been on that same form. You mean kind of like everybody's been screaming for like a decade? They finally got someone who believes it. Horror for Dummy says there's some good-looking guys, I guess, in, oh, there you go. Oh, thank you. What an irony that he just recently reviewed men.

On to our featured attractions, an hour later. Let's hunt some vampires with Daybreakers and the all-new day shift. Daybreakers from 2009. In the year 2019, a plague has transformed almost every human... The far-flung future. Every human into vampires, forced with a dwindling blood supply to fracture-dominant race. plots their survival. Meanwhile, a researcher works with a covert band of vamps on a way to save humankind. This is a little prophetic.

Director and writers are the Speerig brothers, also known for Winchester and predestination. Yikes. According to the interviews, Sam Neal explained what made him decide to take the film. was the scene in the screenplay in which the businessman vampires by morning coffee spiked with human blood. That's why he took the right. Questions for Sam? That was a two-minute scene, Sam.

Right? That you were not involved in. I wonder if they were all bought him a beach house or something that he loves. Probably never seen the movie, but it bought him a hell of a beach house. All it takes is little human blood. Hey.

Ethan Hawk was the director's first, last, and only choice for the lead role. Good he got them. Good thing Ethan was game, huh? Yeah. Daybreakers. Lance, you want to start us out? Sure. Oh, man, I'll tell you what.

Sam Neal really fucking hammed it up, but he was completely overshed. shadowed by the haminess of Willem Defoe. This guy, some of the fucking... Some of the quotes he had, like, is this place the guy, is this place safe? He says, in a world of vampires, it's about as safe as bear back in a $5 horror. That's the kind of line you get from this guy in this movie.

But it doesn't expect nothing less. But it paints a picture on how safe it is, though. it does paint a picture and a lot of people really a lot of people really like this movie and I'm I'm a monkey box in 2019 man I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna disagree with most here but I thought this was just about one of the silliest fucking premises of any vampire movie I've ever seen you know absolutely ridiculous man I mean for one thing, how in the fuck? What is fire cure? What's the

exact formula for just enough sunlight to cure you but without burning you to a crisp like it does 99% of the vampires that it touches? Willem Defoe said it jumpstart's your heart. I'll give you that one. If you're in Motley crew,

you're safe. No, that's a kickstart. I will say that some of the special effects for as old as they were they were pretty decent you know there were some nice gory scenes in it that were fun to watch there was some obviously some good action

some good chart car chase sequences and stuff like that but I don't know man I've always got a problem when you get a vampire movie and like in one scene your hand is like right here by the sun and starts burning and in the next scene you're out in full sunlight you're just wearing like

a black hat and a trench coat and you're like okay he was in the shade of a tree. A shade of a tree? Yeah, a bit far-fetched for me. I kind of like the look of them harvesting the humans where they hooked up the, I'm assuming they were feeding them something, Matrix-style, and it ended up, I guess they pulled out their blood out and harvested it or whatever. Yeah, I was kind of assuming that maybe, yeah, they were feeding them, but maybe they were taking more than giving. Seemed that way. Seem that way.

And yeah, yeah, I understand why Sam Neal said that because he said a businessman being blood drinkers and shit like that. So, no, it had some pretty decent political messages, I would say. It was a little on the nose for me and a little silly, you know, and then you got, you know, Ethan Hawke playing looking like this film Norr detective in the train station smoking cigarette after cigarette. I love that shot, though, when the train. goes by and it's dark and you just see nothing but

eyes. Yeah, I'll tell you what, there were some pretty good scenes in there. I mean, these guys have an eye for visual effects, for sure. And then like that beginning with a little girl where she, you know, walked outside the house and let the sun kind of take her. That was like, that was a pretty

cool, shocking opening scene. But not one of my favorites. I'm not going to totally shut all over it, but just to me, the premise and the storywriting left a bit to be desired. All right.

Brian, different opinion? Yeah, I enjoyed this one. You get, I mean, obviously with vampires, you know, falls in the horror category, but you got a little sci-fi feel to it. Sure. But I also love that kind of neo-noir kind of throwback style of everybody's clothes and like the women's like hairdoes and. I'll tell you what, man, in 10 years, they sure did build a lot of

fucking sub tunnels to walk through, didn't Yes, they did. I don't think, we can't even build up. Even the big dig in Boston took like 35 fucking years and they could work during the day. And I found that a bit far-fetched. I didn't mind the story. I did,

I see what you're saying about the whole curing vampire with sunlight. Yeah, but that's the only weird twist in it. Yeah. Where you were like, all right this is what we're doing

that was my thought exactly but I thought even though he was hamming it up William Defoe and Sam Neal I just I love that they were handing it up in this movie oh yeah yeah that was what saved the movie for me really because Sam Neal's character

was a fucking bastard right you know couldn't couldn't turn his own daughter into a vampire had someone else do it and then she didn't turn out the way he expected and just kind of threw it. And I love the whole explanation

with the, since there's blood shortage, what happens to a vampire when they don't get human blood. Oh, yeah. How they just transform into these basically mindless creatures. Big bat-like things. Like the original. Yeah, old school vampires.

Like the one from the beginning of the Netflix series last year, the Midnight Mass series, the one that was in, stuck in the, that he found stuck in the pyramid or whatever? Spoiler. Oh, come on. It's been out more than a year.

I haven't seen it. I like the design of, it was like the first episode. And I like when they were showing, showing the slides in the, in the, the little meeting in the beginning and how you just saw the, the transformation, how the ears were getting more pointy and there was losing hair. The one thing I thought was fucking stupid. the fucking bat that kept showing up for no reason. Oh, yeah. I was like, what is... Okay, vampire and bats, okay, I get it,

but if it's not going to play into anything. But I dug the story. You know, you got this character and Ethan Hawk trying to find a blood substitute because he doesn't drink human blood and he doesn't want the humans to go extinct and he's trying to find an alternative. And then, of course, you got the court.

side that is kind of on a different level. All about short-term profits. Yeah. And then I kind of dug the little conflict he had with his brother because he's trying to save the human race, but his brother

hunts humans for blood harvesting. Yeah. Right. And what's messed up? I try to, because I thought I recognized his brother in something. That guy's not even in the top 10 build of this movie. What? He's like, he's like in the,

woman at, woman at coffee stand is billed over him. Really? How the fuck did that happen? Guy reading newspaper is billed above him. I was like, that's messed up. It's crazy. No respect. Are you sure it wasn't, are you sure it wasn't a young Rodney Dangerfield?

I kept looking because they kept saying his name, Frankie, like, over and over. And I'm just scrolling, scrolling, scrolling. I was like, oh, here you are way down at the bottom. of the cast list. Has he been in other stuff? No respect. He's been in a ton of TV, but he's been in a lot of

stuff. Probably his character had a name and a storyline. Right, right. Guy ordering coffee was above him. Blood coffee.

He had a one night stand with the lady that wrote the cast. I guess. This guy. Overall, I dug the sci-fi feel. I dug the throwback feel with the cars and the clothes and the women. The vampire women are always beautiful in movies. And I love that old school hairstyle, too, that they always have.

I dig Ethan Hawk and everything. Every time he has a movie coming out, I'm going to watch it to see his performance because I forgot Cool the Week, Lance, the Black. the black phone is on Peacard. Yeah, that's what I heard. Still good. Still good. Yeah, I'm going to rewatch it.

I guarantee you. The wife watched it and she liked it. And it was more so off the performances of the kids, especially the sister. Oh, sure, sure. Well, you know what? I heard, I was listening to Horror News Radio today and they said there were some Easter eggs in there that I never even caught. Like the little kid from it in the yellow. rain slicker shows up in the background in the scene, riding his bicycle.

So, yeah, there's, like, all kinds of, like, different horror movie Easter eggs in it. So I will be rewatching it. I just got lost so much with that porcelain tearing apart that concrete. Oh. I'm sorry. That's what ruined it for you. That's what ruined it for me. That was the one scene where I said, you know what?

They've lost me. They don't make porcelain like they used to in the 70s, so. Yeah, that's true. I guess that's true. Stronger back then. The extra strength porcelain. But I think... You're flush on those old toilets?

It'll suck down the whole goddamn bathroom. Right? Like when Al Bundy got the toilet 2000, they put it in his garage. So nobody could bother him when he went to take a shit. Daybreakers, I think if you were looking for a different take on a vampire story, I think this is a good one. kind of doesn't get talked about enough.

And I think it's a decent one. It's got a fan following for sure, man. I posted that I was watching it, and I got a lot of likes. So there you go. See, and this is a movie that I thought I had watched and just forgot about, you know, fouled it away under the 50 other vampire movies that sound almost exactly the same as this one. Exactly. Yeah.

But I hadn't seen it. I realized when I started watching it. When I started watching it, I was like, I'm never watched this movie. And I really liked the premise because it was something that was totally different. And a reason for it not to be filed with all those thousands of other vampire movies. Sure, sure. I like the world building. I feel like this probably would have worked great as a TV series.

Interesting. I mean, not 2009, but now it might be pretty cool. Because I like the whole world that they're building. it's it's got some social commentary but it's vague enough where it works for a bunch of different things yeah it doesn't bump you over the head with it yeah and and and and you can sort of take it at your own interpretation which which i like yep um it's no black christmas yeah uh i like this movie man i thought it was really good i get yeah like i said the the sunlight kickstarting the heart was the only thing that I was like,

now that seems a little silly. I did like, I did like, I did like, people can't get reinfected. Okay. I did like that, that whole. If they would have came up with a better thing

than the sunlight curing them. Right. Yeah, since most of it was just burning them the minute it fucking hit him. Yeah, change that part, but keep the hole if the vampire bites them,

they basically get it. affected with cure. I like that whole. Yeah, yeah. That makes sense. I would have preferred if they found a different way to do it, though. Because I love that scene where Sam Neal bites Ethan Hawk and he gets cured. Sure.

And they just tie him up, put him in the elevator and send him down to the hungry soldier vampires. Uh-huh. Yeah. Even though my wife did catch one guy that was just acting like he was biting, but his face was nowhere. near Sam Neal's body. He's just shaking his head. And then when she pointed out, they did a good job getting a lot of hands.

And I was like, just just pretend like he's biting him. Just don't look at them. Brian, they did a good job though getting a lot of a lot of cast members there. Like some of those action scenes were really good because they would have like, you know,

24 or 36 people all in one scene together attacking. And I will say this is another movie. They did a fantastic job with practical effects. Right. I don't think some of the CGI effects wasn't needed. Yeah. And some of the CGI was not awesome.

Yeah, but for 2009, it wasn't horrible. Yeah, but like little stuff with CGI is it was fine with me, like to highlight. I think they used it to highlight the vampires because they almost. had a glowing effect to them. They were so kind of pale. And then I like the stuff with the mirror, how, you know, they weren't there, but you saw the clothes and stuff like that.

Yeah, that was pretty cool. But I thought of you, Lance, when they drugged those crazy creature vampires into the sunlight, I thought of you with the CGI fire. TGIF fire. Yeah, but I mean, I took into account the fact it was, you know, fucking 15 years ago, you know,

It wasn't Escape Room 2, huh? No, because Escape Room 2 is just as bad, and it was 15 years later. They should have done a little better job by then. I have a hard time giving them that excuse. Just in general, you know what I mean? I remember watching some movies back then. Blade 2 was one that I had a big problem with, because they had like Gumby people when they were doing it. And I was like, we're going to watch this in 10.

years and go back and think wow, this was really fucking ridiculous. I know exactly what fight scene you're talking about. It goes full cartoon. Yeah. I think they did it in a couple of Spider-Man movies too. Yeah.

I think the worst one was I think the third Matrix movie when he's fighting all the agent Smith. Yeah. It's pretty bad. It turns it to a cartoon. Yeah. A straight up cartoon. Yeah. Who was it, Brian? I don't know if it was a podcast you were listening to.

Somebody was talking about how bad the... I think it was the geeks. They were talking about how fucking horrible the battles with Brandon Fraser and the Scorpion King were. Oh, God. Maybe it was... I'm trying to remember who was talking about that. They said it was like some of the worst fucking CGI ever. Yeah, the CGI in when he was...

The Rock was in the Mummy movie as the Scorpion King. Right, right, exactly. It was horrible, but when he did his own movie... The CGI was better, even though he doesn't turn into a fucking scorpion in his movie. Yeah, thank God, right? But me as a young person back in the day watching out in the theater, I was just kind of like, what the fuck is this? What is going on?

Might as well watch Sinbad in the Eye of the Tiger, right? Oh, gosh. Ray Harryhausen. I'd appreciate that more. I think so, yeah. But all in all, good movie, man. man. I definitely enjoyed it. I thought it was creative and unique. All right. Scores. Brian, or Lance, you started it. What do you think?

Oh, right in the middle, man. I love the way that Sam Neal hand it up, and I love some of the way that they gave you the messages without killing you to death with him, and I love the fight and action scenes. But the story itself and the sunlight story kind of completely took me out of it. So straight down the middle, it's a five. some good some bad better than I expected Brian what do you think

I did have a problem in a few areas but not enough to give this a little rating I'm almost out of eight but I'll say 7.75 not bad kind of right there not bad at all

like I said I really like the mix of futuristic with the past kind of mesh meshed in even like I didn't mention it, like Willem Defoe. He was almost kind of dressed like James Dean in some scenes

where he had like the jacket with the T-shirt, you know, because he was like an old school car guy. Oh, yeah. He had some bad ass. He had some bad ass. Fucking cars, man. I dug that. Always like Ethan Hawk. And, yeah, Sam Neal, you know, usually, you know,

to me, when I think of Sam Neal, I think of Dr. Grant from Jurassic Park. Sure. So I like when he pops in as the villain, like Event Horizon or this, you know. So, yeah, hand it up, Sam, you know. That's right. Event Horizon. You know what?

I think I'm going to go, I'm going to go seven. Nice. I think it would be an easy eight if they had maybe changed the sunlight thing. Which, I didn't even think too hard about. until you brought it up. Yeah. Well, it's in there. Yeah.

Well, yeah, but I did, I do remember watching it and going, well, it's one of those little mind humps you have to get over and just be like, all right, just forget that that happened and continue on. Sure. A little bit of a groan. Yeah. All right. So I'd say we recommend it. Yeah, for the most part. I'm not mad.

I watch it. also lance likes pet cemetery the remake absolutely yeah you gotta stress the remake part absolutely better than the original I'll stand by that so that's what your scores mean we're gonna go to day shift

2022 as uh Netflix were you guys cool with this one on Netflix or should it have been the theater release I'm fine man yeah yeah

Yeah, and I've heard about this movie like a while ago, so I think, I think when it got announced and when it got released, I think it would have been, I think it would have did bad at the theaters. Probably. Yeah. I think this gives it a wider platform coming up. Never underestimate the power of Snoop Dog. That's true. It's number one movie on Netflix right now. I believe it.

A hardworking blue-collar dad who just wants to provide a good life for his quick-witted eight-year-old daughter. His mundane San Fernando Valley pool cleaning job is a front for his real sorts of income, hunting and killing vampires. Director is J.J. Perry. This is his first directorial effort, but he's hard at work. Oh, he's a hard-working stuntman who has done stunts in 149 movies, including. the Fate of the Furious and John Wick. Okay. Writers are

Tyler Tice and Shay Hatton. Scott Adkins and Chad Stahensky worked on this movie and John Wick Chapter 4 together,

which Shea Hatton co-wrote. Okay. Lance, you want to start us off again? What did you think about day shift? Oh, man. It's, it's a fun movie. It's a fun movie.

I love the action scenes. I love the choreography. You can definitely tell the John Wick people were involved in this. It was just seamless. There were parts of this that reminded me of a good old Jackie Chan movie where like everything just went perfectly, you know, perfectly choreographed the way the action scenes went together.

Was it a little bit cheesy? Like, did it have kind of a little bit of a lepracon feel? In a couple of scenes, yes. Yes, it did. Yeah, there was a, there was a good, good amount of cheese. Cheese factor in it for sure. You got a really, really stretch your imagination to buy the storyline. But I had a lot more fun with this one than Daybreakers, guys.

Really? I really did. And I've never seen vampires move the way some of them did in this movie. So I don't, I don't want to say too much early on. I want you guys to talk. all right brian i've had a lot of fun with this one i thought it was a good um yeah you would categorize it horror but this was more action to me very much so comedic element and i think the cheese factor was in there on purpose yeah of course yeah i thought of the action returns the whole time i was

watching this yeah and i i didn't know like the people involved were stunt people that we're directing and writing it and I can really see how they were involved with the choreography that might have heard it for me because I actually thought the story was a little bland

Fair enough, yeah It was kind of straightforward You know You get introduced to Jamie Fox's character You find out he has a family Problem is there with the family and he has a solution to how to fix it. It just kind of seemed like I've seen this storyline before.

But that didn't hurt it to the point of that I wasn't enjoying it. I just thought they put more time in the stunt work and the action than they did actually the story. Yeah. But I always enjoyed Jamie Fox. He's a funny, talented guy. Snoop, I don't know if this is a spoiler, but I wanted more snooped than what I got.

Yeah. Yeah. I think most people knew going in he wasn't going to be the main guy. I thought Dave Franco was great in it because he just kind of portrayed this kind of. What a pussy. The guy they would send with you to do the work that he was supposed to do, that's what I pictured. Okay. Yeah.

Just the way he was just walking and just his whole attitude. and so by the book, I'm like, you're, okay, I see it, I see it, Dave. I see it in this book. Megan Good, she's one of my hall passes. She continues to look. She continued to look the same. I had to double check to see how old she is now. She's in her 40s now.

You've got to be fucking kidding. She's holding the line. She does not age at all. The little girl was okay, the synopsis, saying she's quick, withed. I don't, I didn't get that in the movie. I just thought she had a whole lot of parts anyway. Yeah, she just was there. Jamie Fox, the character, needed a daughter. Yeah, kind of like the little kid and my spy or something like that. But the synopsis would kind of make you think she's wise crack in and. Yeah, true, true. Yeah, she was just kind of there. You're right.

I love the action in it. I did not know Scott Atkins was in this. I love him. I love his movies. He's a hell of an action star. And it was nice to see him. It was a big surprise for me because I completely, I kind of went into this blind. I didn't really look at anything. And I wish the villain had a little bit more to do than what we got.

Yeah, kind of a weak villain, you know. But I also can see that. if this is a success, how they can grow off of this and maybe do another one. I would definitely like to see another one. Well, yeah, because didn't they reference a particular vampire that didn't even show up in this movie? Yeah. So. And I dug the changes they did with the vampires and kind of adding on to the mythology.

You know, we'll get into that in spoilers. But I like the way they moved. Yeah, me too. That was, from everything I could see, that was actual people that they got to move like that and contort their bodies. I hope not. Really? I've seen people do that. Not during the fight scenes.

Spider people, man. There are people that actually do that. It's crazy. Wow. Well, I think. I think, but I think, happen is for the contorting scenes, I think those are actual people. But then I think they switch them out for the actual fight scenes. Like the fight scene with Snoop Dog, probably him.

Watch this with the wife, and there was a few times she was like, that's not Jamie Fox. Yeah. Right. And I told him, stop. You're ruining it. Because if I see it's not Jamie Fox, that's all I'm going to see. It's like, I'm going to get you sucker where it's a fight,

and then all of a sudden some white dudes in there. Oh, no, the scenes with his mom. With the mom. How she turns around and it's a man with a mustache. Yes. Doing this doesn't work. But overall, I thought this was a fun movie. I like that it came out on Netflix.

I think this is like what Netflix needs to do. They need to do movies like this. And I forgot the name of it, the zombie movie, Army of the Dead. Oh, I love that. Yeah. They need to do more. This is what they need to focus on and stop doing these fucking $200, $300 million action movies with the rock.

Just do these kind of movies, these fun action movies. And this stupid, straightforward story has a better story than, like, the Red Notice thing. I don't even remember what the storyline was. I don't either. Stealing something, stealing a diamond or style? I still haven't finished a movie. Yeah, I've seen it twice, and I can't. tell you what they were stealing.

I've tried to see it twice. I don't think I ever finished it. I don't think I finished it either. But yeah, they keep doing these dumbass action movies with like people who are way too good to be in them. And then the movie is terrible. Right. And this is not one of those, I think. I really enjoyed this one.

Like you guys said, it was a fun time. Just guaranteed fun time. So if nothing else, watch it for that. And it's on Netflix. So, yeah, I really liked everybody that was in it. I thought I enjoyed the fight scenes, but that's also one of those times where you have to sort of shut your mind off a little and just watch it because it's fun. You're like, wait, this is a little extreme. Yeah.

But they're also vampire, so that works. Yeah, man, I had a really good time with this one. Snoop Dogg as a fucking cowboy is. cool as a mother- I like that he's a cowboy but he's still like West Coast.

Yeah. That was fucking cool shit, man. Like, I definitely want more of this character. I want like a spinoff comic book of him. You know what I mean? I wouldn't mind like a prequel movie

because they mentioned him and Jamie Fox's character were like friends from the military. Yeah. The problem is, can Snoop carry a movie? Well, that's why you have Jamie Fox in it.

So he just, Jamie Fox does the heavy lifting and Snoop just run. Snoop is the buddy cop comedy relieving? Yeah. Yeah, because I wouldn't mind seeing how they went from the military

to hunting vampires. Yeah, that's true. That doesn't seem like something you just fall into. Yeah. Snoop is a lot of things, but a good actor is not one of them. He works in this because he's essentially Snoop with a cowboy hat in the trench coat. And I may get some hate for that, but come on.

You've seen that dude deliver a line. You won't get hate for that. And, yeah, I mean, that was really about it. Like he said, the story was straightforward. All the characters were. were good. The acting was really great in it, I thought, despite, you know, Snoop. The guy's doing his best, man. What do you want? Yeah, I agree with you. I think everybody did what they were supposed to do. Yeah. Right. And I'll, well, I guess I'll get into that and spoilers.

All right. Let's go scores. Lance. Seven and a half. Okay. Way better. Brian? Yeah. A lot of fun. A lot of fun. I agree with Lance, seven and a half. It could go up on other viewings. Like I said, I really, really enjoyed the action. And I think this is, if you're going to watch this movie, you watch it for the action. Yeah.

Action stunts, vampire killing, this is what you watch the movie. If you're coming to have a story that is going to sit there and make you think. It's not an 824 film, isn't it? This is not elevated horror. This is straightforward action horror comedy. Which is a fine genre. And I'm going to agree, seven and a half for me too. Nice.

Yeah, good movie, man. I was pleasantly surprised. I was a little worried about it. All right, spoilers. This is a motherfucking spoiler alert. You've been fucking warned. This is a motherfucker. Spoiler alert.

You've been fucking warned. This is a motherfucking spoiler alert. You've been fucking warned. All right. I'm going to jump in and say I like some of the added mythology to, like, because when we see, I'm just like, I'm just like, okay, do we just, do we need Jamie Fox in the shower? Is this for the ladies? And then he pulls out the yellow powder and he's rubbing it all over himself.

But he's rubbing it kind of like. it hurts. And then later when he's got Dave Franco's character, he's like explaining that vampires give off a gas that if it gets on you, it attracts other vampires. So, and I kind of like the little added

stuff. Like they kind of mark you. Yeah. Don't get the powder in your butt hole. And then later you see when you next day you see Dave Franco and he was like, I got it in my butthole and it's way worse than what you explain. That was great, man. That was funny.

I like the Dave Franco was breaking down all the different type of vampires Oh yeah he was a vampire nerd It was a good way to like deliver the rules Yeah and then when they got to the house He was trying to explain to the vampire hunters That this is this is a weird situation

Because these vampires when you know And of course you know Jamie's got to say something funny You know it's like blizz and crips getting along you know Yeah Sure that scene during that one though where he like he's like send me one bro and he shoots him he like unchambers around and sends it flying across the room where he grabs it and shoots that vampire that's where i was like oh come the fuck on yeah but it was fun it was fun though

but that was one of those moments where i was like man it doesn't work that way because that was cool of shit isn't the i don't i've only seen a couple of episodes but isn't the other from that show, Shameless? I think so, yeah. Oh, it looks for you. Oh, that guy. Yeah, he is. Because I was like, I know Scott Atkins,

and I just kept looking at the other guy. I was like, I've seen you in something that is nothing like this character right here. Yeah, he's been an all-nice. That was the show, man. That was awesome. And it was kind of weird because he kind of, Jamie Fox kind of played it off.

Like, these guys were going to be, like, super assholes. Yeah. Yeah. But they were pretty cool. sewed down to split the money. I thought they were going to fucking walk away with, try to walk away with all the money. And I love the whole

like pulling the fangs and selling them. Basically the fangs tell what kind of vampire you got and how old and there's like different pricing. It's almost like the stock market. Like you can see like the prices are dropping for this one. And I think that was kind of making fun of comic book and toy collectors

a little bit. You know? That makes sense. Yeah, and I had a question about the wife. So she's just going to fucking move. It's like, hey, man, don't take my kid. And she's like, yeah, sorry, we're selling the house. And there's still being all friendly. Literally across the country.

Like, what the fuck is that? Well, I mean. Yeah, that's why I felt like the story was a little weak because they didn't really sure didn't go into anything he really did wrong because he seemed like he was trying his best to provide I mean she yeah lived in a pretty fuck he was in his uh kids his life so right right yeah I was like I mean he must have been a real asshole when they were married because uh he seems like he's trying his best and she's just gonna scaddle with the kid what what the fuck yeah the only thing I kind of went off of is before he revealed he was a vampire hunter. He said he lied about a lot of things. I'm assuming

to hide his occupation. So maybe she assumed he was doing other things. But they didn't really go into that. Just like white chicks. Well, you'd think they would have at least had that discussion, right? She would have at least given him the courtesy of calling him out and making him explain himself, right? Before just saying, get the fuck out of the house. Like I said, it was, it was a, it was a storyline like yeah plot hole I'm taking a kid I'm moving away unless

this happens and then that person has to figure out how to resolve that that was kind of silly I'll agree and then the villain I thought not that she

the actress did anything wrong I just think they just didn't do anything with the character yeah it didn't really make her that menacing did they because of course they let us know that the the lady like she's super old yeah because you find out the old lady in the beginning that got killed by jimmy fox was her daughter so you're just kind of like wow okay you're you're you're like an ancient vampire or something has she been another stuff yeah my wife my wife said she'd been a j said she's been in that show how to get away with murder okay i guess that's her big claim to fame This is like Latina Isla Fisher. Yeah. Yes.

Yeah, exactly. I thought that was Isla Fisher at first. I thought it was at first. I thought is Borat going to show up? Yeah, and I just thought it was a kind of, I thought her right-hand man kind of had a better fight scene than she did. Yeah. I guess, yeah, yeah. But, you know, like you guys were saying, maybe they'll, maybe this is just the first.

How did Snoop Dog survive is what I want to know? Because he's Snoop Dog. Okay. Enough said. Yeah. Next. I mean, I was a little confused. I'm like, did he get bit or did he just get a piece of his neck torn?

I think he got bit, didn't he? Because they didn't really stress if he was a vampire or not at the end. Maybe he'll be a vampire in the sequel. Well, Franco is. Yeah. I know, so. Which, I know what you're about to say, I think, Brian, go ahead. I was just going to say, I love Franco as a vampire.

Yeah. He's like, it feels so good. I smell everything. He was like, did I shit myself? When I died, he kept trying to turn around. He was like, do you see a stain back there or something? He definitely, his character went through all the fluids. Yes.

possibly shit himself. Yeah, threw up. But I would definitely love to see a sequel where he's kind of Jamie Fox's sidekick vampire. I think it's coming. Which is so weird that the other guy is supposed to be the head of this. And we didn't mention the union. I love that there's a union. Right, yeah.

Because I think they were making fun of that too because they were like, you know, he's trading in the teeth to get his pay. But they were like, hold on, we got to deduct your dues. for dues. $10 for union card. We'll put the guys air, man. Fucking mullet. Is that what it was?

I don't know. I guess. I don't know. But I thought it was a little strange that these are unionized vampire hunters, but they have two vampires right in front of them. One of them is talking to him, and he does not notice

anything. I mean, come on. And they didn't even... He didn't even question who the girl was that... He knows there was a massive vampire fight that just happened, and there's this girl there. Sure. She was badass, especially at the end. She pulled out the samurai sword.

Oh, yeah. It was a little weird that she switched over to Jamie Fox's side so quickly. So quickly. Yeah. And it's like sometimes they couldn't control themselves, and then all of a sudden they could. They were like human... acting vampires. That was kind of silly. And I kind of wanted to know

what the kind of vampire Franco was because he got his, he got decapitated but he was able to put his head back on. Yeah, that's what they were saying. I guess the Uber blood surprise. Is that what they called them? They were Ubers.

Shades of, what was that movie we saw? God damn it. Somebody was talking about it just today. The one when we saw with the kids the two kids that died, but they kept coming back and... Fuck, man. Never mind.

The teenager, it's like the one that was always a stoner. The dude that ended up going on to play in the fanatic. When the kid, the guy who played in the fanatic. Help me out here. John Travolta? Oh, the opposite John Travolta. The one who's in the Czech series. It's in everything all of a sudden.

Oh, Devin Sawa. Devin Sawa. He was... young. He was a teenager in this movie. And they had his two friends. Oh, idle hands. Yeah, idle hands. Didn't they have something like that? Well, one of their fucking heads could come off. I said that like five minutes ago. Okay. All right. They're yelling at their steering wheel. There you go. Yeah, it was the, the big kid from Mighty Ducks and Cess Rene. That's right. Was that the kid from Daredevil? Yeah.

Fatty O'Malley or whatever his name is in Daredevil. the guy that was Murdoch's lawyer person that didn't really do much lowering. Right. That's pretty funny. All right, now that we're way off the rails,

anything else to add? Good movie, though, man. I definitely enjoy it. I'll watch it again. The fight scene with the brothers was my favorite. I'm going to watch it with the granddaughter Friday night. Because she fucking loved Army of the Dead. Yeah. I think she would dig this.

Yeah. Yeah, this is a pretty safe movie to watch. You know, the kids can watch it. I mean, there is gore, and there's profanity, but there's no sex or anything. Which is really the question you have when watching another movie with kids. It really is. That's where it

gets awkward. That's where you got some splaining to do. As long as there's no sex in it, I'll let them watch whatever. Izzy's been watching Supernatural. with me. She's enjoying it. Oh, cool. She's going to watch all 33 seasons with you.

Yeah. Is there that many? I don't know. It seems like that show's been all forever. Is it still going? No, they're doing a spin-off series. Okay. I just scrolled across it on

Netflix and I was like, oh, I've never watched this show. Let's try it. All right. All right.
