You're listening to the horror returned podcast.
This is Heather Langenkamp from Nightmare on Elm Street.
Greetings, victims.
For those of you delight and dread,
who fantasize about fear,
who glorify goal, welcome.
You have found the place where
The horror returns.
Listeners beware.
This podcast contains major plot spoilers
and the foulest of language.
Join us in celebrating the old and the new,
the best, and the worst in horror.
All right, welcome back.
One and all to the horror return.
I'm Lance, and with me as always are my co-host, Philip.
Let's go back to where we were.
Fabulous Philip.
Brutal Brian.
And cock sucker, Kev, can be used that since he's...
Now I don't feel so bad about fabulous.
Yeah, Kevin might drop in soon, so we'll see what happens.
But you guys have found the horror returns.
So thanks for joining us.
One day we're going to be on YouTube.
That's what I was going to talk to you about, Brian.
The software so we can do the shit live and get on YouTube.
But we'll cover that this week.
Maybe when we talk some Hannibal Tuesday.
Sound good?
All right.
All right.
Nice.
We're old.
I don't know how to use this YouTube thing.
How do I get on this internet?
Oh my God.
Philip, my 49th birthday, man.
Your wife and my wife decided it would be fun to give me a colostomy bag, a cane,
and some other sundry items.
I thought it was hilarious.
I didn't because I'd eaten three edibles, and I was supposed to have half of one.
So I had like the biggest freak out that I've had since acid put me in the hospital one night
because I thought I was dying.
Should I all put in to get you a rascal.
Well, no, because we got him like a whole bunch of just like old folks stuff
because he was turning 50, right?
Over the Hill.
49, cocksucker.
Was it 49?
I thought that was when you turned 50.
No, that's what bothered me.
I was like, okay, I thought this happened to my 50th.
Oh, y'all blindsided me, man.
Y'all hit me a year early.
Did you guys get something sensible, like a pill divider for all his medication?
I'm sure that was in there.
I can't remember what they all were.
But like each one I thought was progressively more hilarious.
And Lance was getting like progressively more emotional.
And it was like, oh my God, just don't open the next one.
To be honest with you, I hate to say it.
But I truly thought in my mind that you guys were telling me that I had either cancer or some
sort of incurable disease.
Yeah, he thought he was going to die.
I thought you guys were trying to politely tell me I was dead before.
Well.
So, anyway.
To be fair, the fact that you were super emotional about it kind of made it more funny.
Asshole.
Remember Kristen, my daughter Kristen had to step in and save me.
Remember when Kristen stood up.
up and grabbed everything and said, enough is enough, you motherfuckers.
Yeah, because you were like, literally getting upset.
We're fucking with this guy on his birthday.
Hey, it was all made up for when we got to see Mandy on mushrooms, dude.
Made up for everything, right?
All right, Brian.
That's got a podcast.
This is, guys.
Brian Cool of the week
Oh, what the fuck is going on with
God damn it. Amityville, dude.
We haven't done one in a while.
I've just been busy.
I got notes for
Amityville 3D.
I just haven't recorded it.
Yeah.
That's got to be classic, right, Philip?
There's a young,
young Meg Ryan and Lori Laughlin in it.
I can't wait.
Meg Ryan before she became an alien?
Yes.
Yeah.
Way before.
Wow.
Okay.
She looks like she's probably,
she doesn't be like early 20s,
maybe 20, 21 maybe.
That's what she was.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Super hot too, right?
Yeah, definitely.
This is a young,
as Phillips said,
she doesn't look alien-ish.
artificial. Before she did all this shit to her face.
Yeah. Yeah.
You got Lori Loughlin before
she became an inmate.
Okay. Well, I mean, dude, she is Dakota
Dakota Johnson's mom.
So, you know,
one of my hall pass. And by
the way, I've got to say,
gentlemen,
we need to update our hall pass list and do
a new hall pass episode because
our wonderful actress from one of our two movies tonight that was in Game of Thrones
and one of the Fast Furious movies.
Natalie Emmanuel.
Yeah.
She is really tickling my top five Hall Pass list, man.
I don't blame you.
As soon as I was watching, in the middle of the movie, I was like, I think a Hall Pass conversation is going to come up.
She is gorgeous.
So fucking gorgeous.
like there is nothing wrong with that body or that face or the look yeah i don't even hate
the fucking nose ring you know what the nose ring i it didn't take me out of it and i thought
it no are we are we into spoilers already for the last movie to i let's save it yeah i'm just
but sometimes the nose ring works sometimes sometimes it does it she made it work she definitely
made it work.
Old thing.
All right.
Why it's gotten so popular.
On for the show, boys.
Speaking of making it work, Brian, what's your cool of the week, man?
Okay.
I did not get any movies in, but I watched some TV shows.
Most of them have nothing to do at horror, but I thought they were pretty cool.
Same here.
Same here.
First, I watched that documentary show, Welcome to Rexham, where Ryan Reynolds and
Rob McElroy
I can't
I don't know if I'm pronounced his last name
right he's one of the guys from Always Sunny
Oh
They buy a
They become owners of a soccer team
In Wrexham
Oh I have I have seen a poster for this
Okay
And essentially they want to
Take this team that's in the
They broke down the tiers
Because I don't really know soccer
And like the Premier League
There's like four tiers
And they are like tiered
five so they're like
down at the bottom and they
and this
they're like sex
tuple A if it were yeah this this town really
loves their team and they were
hit hard by the pandemic and
basically they want to
take they want to help this team and take
them to see how far they could take the team
and it was interesting
because before they even became owners
it wasn't as easy as just buying
the team or something the the people
of Wrexham had to vote
because I guess they had so many shady people that were owners of the team.
So.
Right.
There's two episodes out now.
It's an FX show.
If you got Hulu, FX shows are always on the next day.
So.
Like the Mighty Ducks?
With soccer.
Okay.
But it was a very interesting show because the first couple of episodes.
episodes dealt with, you know, new owners coming in.
So a lot of the players and staff were, you know, worried about losing their jobs and getting cut and won't spoil anything.
But there was some changes by episode two.
Interesting.
All right.
But something tells me that wasn't your cool of the week.
No.
Next show is a Hulu original and it's called Mike.
It's based off Mike Tyson.
Mike Tyson.
I saw that.
Oh, I haven't watched it yet.
It looks funny.
Which is really odd is, I think this is a really good show.
It's really well made.
Mike Tyson does not support this show because he said it's a bunch of bullshit,
which leads me to think that it might be a little bit,
some truth to what's being said in the show.
Maybe too close to home.
Yeah, sounds like it's worth watching.
It is worth watching, and it's odd because it's like a third.
30% on Rotten Tomatoes, and it just kind of blew my mind because I think the guy, I think his name is
Tramante Rhodes.
Okay.
He, I think he nails it as Mike Tyson.
Like, he's got the mannerisms.
Yeah.
It kind of picks up.
Does he got the list going?
Yeah, got the list.
He's got the tooth.
Even the, the way he talks with his hands and stuff like that.
Because you guys ever seen like his live show, Mike Tyson?
Absolutely.
Yeah.
That's kind of like how...
Yeah, that's kind of like how he's narrating his life.
Right.
Like, he's doing the show and we're watching it, and it cuts back and forth from the past.
Have you seen that, Philip?
No, I haven't.
Like, I think it was on HBO or something.
Mike Tyson, he told his life story in like an hour.
And he's funny as fuck, dude.
Oh, man, I totally watched.
I've seen a bunch of interviews with him.
Uh-huh.
He's done Joe Rogan a couple of times.
And he seems like a...
a really cool motherfucker, which makes
me think that if he
has a problem with it, then maybe it's
I mean, because
although there's probably a lot we can get that's
comical out of it. Yeah, well,
they released two
episodes so far. What I've seen is
what I've heard in the past so
far. So if there's anything that
he didn't like about the show, they
haven't got to that yet because
they've gotten to the point where he's
became champ.
So what is this? Just a life story of Mike Tyson?
Yeah, they start from when he was a kid.
Oh.
You like a young kid.
Man, I'll totally watch that.
Yeah, I think it's going to be...
I wish he had his endorsement.
Yeah.
I think I kind of think that's maybe...
I kind of think that's why it might have a low rating around tomatoes.
Like maybe people were just like, oh, Mike says it's bullshit.
I'm not watching it or...
Sure, sure.
But I was fully entertained and just...
The two episodes that were out so far, it's everything I've heard previously,
so I don't think whatever is the bullshit we haven't gotten there yet.
Okay.
But I definitely am into it.
And Harvey Kytel plays his original trainer, Customato.
Okay.
Can't go wrong with that.
Yeah.
One more real quick.
Yeah, one more real quick before I get to my cool.
the week, jump back on to
Only Murders in the building
trying to catch out. Oh, yeah.
I saw you were watching that. I've never seen it.
I mean, it's Steve Martin
and Martin Short.
Sure. I even like
Selena Gomez in it. I never had a problem with
her. I just don't watch any of her
shows or movies. Yeah.
Pretty funny.
But everything she's been in is not bad.
Except for that
zombie movie. That was so far.
wasn't her fault.
Philip.
Which zombie movie was she in?
The one where you and me, you and me talked about how we were staring at the exit, thinking about leaving.
Oh.
The one with the Kylo Ren.
And Bill Murray.
I still vaguely remember that movie.
Yeah, we both have, we had similar reviews where we talked about just staring at the exit sign.
Yeah, that's, that's harsh.
But yeah, it's a good, it's a good murder mystery comedy show.
And I'm trying to, I'm working my way through season two.
And it's already been a greenlit for season three.
And I said, Paul Rudd is joining season three.
Holy shit.
So I definitely, I think we're going to have to be in.
Yeah.
I definitely want to see Paul Rudd and Steve Martin and Martin Short in a show together.
No kidding.
No kidding.
Hey, Paul Rudd has the jacket from Saturday Night Live.
What was it, the five time jacket?
Oh, yeah.
They get to wear, and then they give them a pipe to smoke.
Paul Rudd is super underrated.
That motherfucker's funny.
Oh, dude, we're re-watching all the Marvel movies, the fucking Ant Man of the Loss.
Fucking comedy classic, dude.
He's that little, that little kid, strunken guy, and he's running around the school with the hoodie on.
I can't wait for the new one
because they said he's kind of
his character's kind of
full of himself now. He has his own
Ant Man has his own podcast
and his own autobiography book
and just kind of really into himself.
Oh man. That's going to be awesome.
You just got to get the right person to do it
because there's so much comedy going on lately
that it turns into like dumbness.
Yeah, but they
they've got it under control.
Isn't that the next MCU movie?
The quantum mechanic?
Black Panther.
Okay.
Oh, Wakanda.
Wakanda forever.
I saw a preview to that one.
That's right.
And then after that is going to be the new Ant-Man movie, right?
Yeah, with Kang, Kang the Conqueror.
Right?
How the fuck is King going to show up in this one,
and then like seven movies later, he finally gets his war for the event?
injures. I think he's going to show up a lot more.
I've just been watching a lot of here and there.
Videos. We're going to get multiple big,
big villains this, this next phase.
They're really, I was watching this video.
They're really teasing Dr. Doom, which I'm excited for.
I was always a fan of Dr. Doom as a kid.
Well, if you, if you guys want to go down the MCU rabbit hole,
we could be here all night.
Like the game thing where they're talking about.
But they've gotten so complicated and so silly with it.
Man, just like stop and start over.
It doesn't have to be a continuous story, I think.
Brian.
I love this continuous.
Brian, will you please tell Philip about the Easter egg in the She-Hulk episode?
Oh, okay.
Spoilers for anybody.
Philip, you're going to love this.
Just skip ahead.
This is an estimate for you.
They tease a certain character.
She's reading a web page, a news web page.
And in the corner, you know how on the web pages you click on different stories on the side?
Lads or whatever.
Yeah, one of the story was a man with metal claws gets into bar brawl.
Oh, okay.
That sounds very Wolveriney.
Sounds a bit promising, wouldn't you say?
X-Men are here.
They just hopefully.
And I'm telling you, I've seen somebody do a drawing of Taryn Edgerton, the guy from Kingsman as Wolverine.
Right.
He definitely could play the part of a young...
Yeah, I think he could pull it off.
He's just got to be able to nail the accent, which I'm sure he can.
Yeah, the Canadian accent or whatever.
I don't know.
I don't even know what kind of accent Wolverine has.
It's a Wolverine accent.
He's Canadian, right, Brian?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, he just can't be...
And he likes to say bub a lot.
Yeah, he just can't be a 6'5 Hugh Jackman.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
Wolverine's like 5'6 in the comic.
It works better as a short little stocky dude,
but he's got to be like tough his nails.
I even seen somebody drew up Henry Radcliffe, Harry Potter, as Wolverine,
and he fucking looked that part.
And I think that kid...
I think that kid since Harry Potter has chosen...
chosen correct roles.
Yeah.
I'm interested in his...
I don't think that he'll do this one.
Yeah, I'm interested in his Weird Out movie that's coming out.
Yeah, I heard about that.
I heard about that.
But yeah, like, I don't think he's looking for superhero type stuff right now.
But I think that Daniel Radcliffe would be very surprising with it.
Well, yeah, there's been certain actors like John Boyega from the Star Wars movies.
He was recently asked, would he be?
a Marvel movie, and he just said
at this point in his career, not right now.
Because he already did the big
blockbuster thing.
Yeah, that might
be a misdirect, man.
Yeah, but like his new movie
that's coming out where he's robbing the bank,
I forgot what it's called. That looks
really good. Super low budget.
824-ish. Well,
and if you're a big-name actor
who has
already got his bag
doing, you know,
blockbuster movies, then you can go and do your little passion projects and have actually some kind of control over what you're doing in that movie.
Yeah. And that's totally understandable.
Because he, like Phil said, he already got his money. And plus on top of that, he might have not had the best time doing these recent Star Wars movies.
Yeah, because I don't think that they, well, I mean, I think it's obvious that they didn't have a fucking plan from the get-go.
and I think that he thought his character was going to do more than he did.
Well, Ryan Johnson had his own plan.
Yeah.
It's not over yet.
I mean, believe it, Star Wars saga is not over yet.
Well, I think they should just focus on these shows.
Right.
Well, for now they are.
Tell good stories and I don't know.
I don't know about the Ryan Johnson trilogy he was supposed to be doing.
Probably not.
I don't know how much of any of that is even still happening.
Yeah, but my cool of the week is first episode of House of the Dragon.
Ah, okay, here we go.
Now we're into the Cooply.
Game of Thrones is back.
Oh, I got to watch that.
And we are introduced to a character played by Matt Smith, who is one of the Doctor Who's,
who is, I can tell, is going to be a fucking bastard in this.
season.
They're real good at making assholes.
Well, you know what?
Brian, you have no idea.
I read the book, and there's a huge power struggle to come.
Oh, they, you get...
You're well aware.
Yeah, you get this from the first episode, dude.
Yes.
It's nice to see that even 172 years before the Game of Thrones series, they're still fucking
arguing over the throne.
Of course.
And you can see there's going to be some backstabbing and some deception and I'm here for it.
And I'm glad we got dragons.
Well, they're doing it now.
Why not do it back then?
Yeah, I'm glad we got dragons five minutes into the show.
They'd be dragons, Philip.
I mean, we already see dragons in the original series.
So I'm glad they didn't make us wait to see drugs.
Right.
But I thought it was good.
I thought it was well-acted.
I can't think of the...
I'm still learning the names of the characters.
The young girl.
That's basically like...
Shit, like the young De Nairus, sort of.
Yeah, she's basically the De Nairus of this.
Sure.
I can tell this is going to be a fantastic show.
And after episode one, which took down HBO Max for everybody,
because everybody was trying to watch it at the same time.
already got renewed for a second season.
What a surprise.
So that is my cool of the week.
Philip?
I'm gonna go right back
on the horse. I'm in
Brian's Amityville mode.
Ah!
Except that I'm still watching Supernatural.
Oh, no!
In third week in a row?
It is, man. It's a long fucking series.
And I've been binging the shit out of it.
it.
Still a good show though, man.
Like, the references and everything are totally on point.
It gets a little cheesy, but it's kind of self-aware.
They have some really meta episodes.
It's good, dude.
I'm enjoying it.
I was like, how come I've never seen this show before?
I just always thought it was CW trash.
And I'm like, man, this is really good.
So have you gotten to where they've met?
One of the kids' dad is Negan.
Have you gotten to that part yet?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's in the first season.
Oh, no shit.
Okay, so they pull him right out then.
Yeah.
Speaking of Negan, he's going to be on the boys season four.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
All right.
As Neon.
He's going to play.
He's played some character.
That's the character that he plays.
I know.
So everything is in.
Either good guy, Niggin or bad guy, Negan.
I know, I know.
All right.
My Cool of the Week is Apple TV Plus show.
You guys ever heard of this new one called Bad Sisters?
You know what?
I was scrolling and I've seen it and it looked kind of interesting.
It's very interesting.
It's, okay, so it's an Irish show.
But it's based on, I think, a show.
from like somewhere in, I don't know, close to Russia, one of those countries.
But it's Serbian, maybe, it might be Serbian, the original one.
I don't know.
But it's sort of like a retelling of that story.
But it's one of those where the first episode, you kind of get to the end of it where, you know,
they're burying the body of one of the sister's husband.
You meet all the sisters, right?
and then you see they're burying the body of one of the husbands.
And then they're like, they're all looking at each other.
Like some of them are crying.
Some of them are laughing as he's being buried.
And like the one that's crying, the other one pokes her and says,
you can go ahead and quit pretending now.
So I'm like, okay, this is interesting.
What's going on here?
So they start showing you these flashbacks.
Oh, and by the way, what's his name, Drumhall, Gleason,
the son of
God damn it
the Irish actor
the ginger
that's in everything
Brian Gleason
Yeah yeah yeah
So drama hall Gleason is in it
And he's really good
He owns an insurance agency
But it's
The interesting part about this
Is that you know something's going on
You know that this guy
Didn't just like accidentally die
Like they say
So now you start trying to figure out
who killed him. And then you have all these flashbacks where the guy fucks everybody over.
And one of the women is missing an eye. And we haven't gotten to where she, what caused her to lose
her eye. But there was a line dropped in the second episode like, well, you really had a lot,
a lot of reasons to want him dead after what happened to your eye. And I'm like, wow, I'm super
intrigued. See what's going to happen. But it's like, okay, so you got these five sisters and you got to
try to figure out which one killed him, or was it someone completely different?
And then meantime, you've got John Hall Gleason that owns an insurance agency,
where if he can't not pay out the premium on the guy's life insurance,
they're going to go under.
Was he the one in Star Wars?
Yeah, I think so, man.
Like the really innocent-looking red-haired kid?
Yeah, I just seen in the theater, they played a trailer for,
for his new Hulu show with Steve Carell.
That makes sense.
Steve Carell's like his therapist, and he, like, takes him,
not torches him, but takes him hostage.
Because I guess he's a serial killer,
and he wants his own personal therapist at home.
Philip, doesn't that sound great?
Yeah, no, I have, I don't have any idea what you were talking about,
but I'm interested.
I thought it was going to be like a comedy,
because, you know, Steve Carell pops up, but it's actually like a, like a serious series.
Oh, wow.
Steve Carell's pulling Jim Carrey.
He's done some pretty good serious roles, Steve Carell.
Yeah, he has.
And he can.
He's good at that.
Well, I'll tell you one thing about Bad Sisters.
You get a, you get a really, really nice mixture of about 50% comedy and about, well, I'll say 50% dark comedy and about 50% serious.
So I'm going to keep watching.
I think we've had about three episodes come out so far and they're doing 10.
I think it's going to be a mini-series.
So that's my cool of the week, Bad Sisters.
All right.
All right.
So check it out.
Got any headlines, Brian?
Oh, yes, we got some headlines.
There's something new I'm going to try to do when there is newer movies that were in the theater,
that you know how the window to go on to streaming.
is shortened.
Smaller and smaller all the time.
Yeah, I'm going to give some updates on that.
And when there's some classic movies going back to the theater,
I'm going to give some updates on that.
So the first one, as of recording,
Nope, is already available on VOD.
Really?
That's a definitely good one to check out.
Yeah.
And I may pay for that.
That is a badass movie.
Which one's that?
I'm sorry.
No.
Except away from here.
Nope.
Nope is already on VOD.
Ah, nice.
Okay.
And Beast will be coming to Peacock early October.
Peacock.
Pompycock.
Which I believe Peacock is the, will be the home of anything universal.
Right.
All right.
Well, as long as Peacock is not the home of Monkey Pocs, I'm good.
No.
Or at least my peacock.
coming back to theaters on October 28th through the 31st
will be George A. Romero.
George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead 3D.
3D! Yes! I heard about this. Ness has tickets.
And so does friend of the show Mike Morin. He has tickets too.
I plan on going. This is a regal exclusive, so you have to go to a regal theater.
I don't have any regal.
theaters around here
motherfuckas
god damn
I have three
so I have my pick
all right
I have AMC and I have
Cinemark and that's it
Phillip
oh yeah and the
the closest movie theater
that plays
random ass shit
yep
house is like
an hour and a half away
and I think it's an AMC
probably
probably
I don't know if I've
really go to
yeah I had to go
I had to go to an AMC really far away to check out
what was that third in the trilogy with Sherry Moon zombie
and the one that was kind of a Western that we covered
with...
Oh, wow.
God damn it.
I forgot it already.
Three from hell?
Not three from hell.
Oh, yeah, three from hell.
You're right, right?
Yeah.
I had to drive a long way to get to that theme.
Like Susperia is the movie.
that I was talking about.
I had to drive a long way to see that.
I got lucky on that one.
I think that's the only show I didn't review the movie for.
Oh, Syspira, huh?
Yeah, I didn't even have that anywhere.
You have seen it since, right?
Yeah, not for me.
It was on my top 10 that year, man.
It's oddball.
Yeah, I do appreciate what they did.
They made it their own.
I like the little changes, and definitely, if you're going to watch it,
You got to watch for the dance scene.
That was my favorite scene of the movie.
Yeah.
With the mirror?
Yes.
Also reminding everybody, I believe September 2nd or 3rd, Jaws will be in theaters in IMAX and 3D.
Are you going, Philip?
I think I would need to go on a floaty somewhere.
I think I was definitely going, but I think I'm taking the wife because when we seen the trailer in the theater, she leaped over and said, I've never seen Jaws.
And I told her, you cannot say stuff like that out loud.
Okay.
No, you cannot.
Well, I've got to take the granddaughters, man, because that was, that Jaws and Alien were the two movies that got them loving horror and sci-fi with me.
Yeah.
Do with the greats.
Yeah.
All right.
TV news.
We are getting a King Kong live action series coming to Disney Plus that has nothing to do with the current monster first.
I couldn't care less.
And Philip.
Why?
Produced by James Wand.
That's a kiss of death.
I was actually into this because I thought it was.
a part of the current, you know,
universe that they created,
but then when they said this has nothing to do
with it, it's a Disney Plus show.
I was just kind of like, why.
Is it animated?
Or is it at least live action?
Live action.
Jesus Christ.
Why?
It's just confusing.
Money to burn, Philip.
Money to burn.
Yeah, but why would you not have it?
I mean, hopefully it at least
fits in the lore, but
Yeah, I just think it's
It doesn't make any sense
It's going to confuse things because
They got the
Godzilla
Apple TV show that's coming
And that is animated, right?
No, it's live action
Oh, God, are you serious?
But that is from the
Godzilla and King Kong movies
But that ain't canon.
That's canon.
And they've already started filming
Godzilla versus King Kong, too.
It'd be like
if Spider-Man,
and from so much decided to go on its own fucking thing.
Right.
And not have anything to do with any of the Marvel movies.
Oh, kind of like Venom?
Yeah.
And Morbius?
Venom showed up at the end of the last Marvel, MCU movie.
Yeah, and then they sent his ass right back.
Yeah, I watched that Venom movie.
It was fucking awful.
Yes, I believe.
We're talking about the second one, right?
They were both bad.
Oh, my bad.
Morbius.
Yeah.
Oh, you saw Morbius.
You saw Barbius.
I finally saw the Morbius movie.
Okay.
Was it that bad?
Is it a bottom ten?
For me, I'm not going to say which place it is, but it is, since I watched it, it's been holding his place firmly.
So.
It was really fucking bad.
Maybe it's in your top ten for all we know.
You never know.
Everybody has their own taste.
Well, and my problem is I really like Morbius, man.
Morbius number one.
came out and I bought that comic.
I remember it.
I do too, man.
It's just I, you have a Morbius movie with no Spider-Man or no Blade or no nobody.
It's just, it doesn't work.
No Midnight Suns or anything, huh?
Oh, they're coming out with a new Midnight Suns comic Lance.
Yeah?
Yeah.
God damn, Jared Leto, man.
I love reading those comics.
Jared Lettow is one step away from.
from losing his cool completely forever.
Uh-oh, that's hard to do.
I kind of think after Suicide Squad,
he kind of reduced it a little with Justice League,
this Zach Snyder cut.
Yeah.
Because he gave us the Joker that we probably should have got in the first place.
But then he did Morbius.
Right.
And I think he actually believed that he did a good performance.
Uh-oh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, and it may not be entirely his fault.
I'll give him that.
The same thing with, you know, Justice League.
Mm-hmm.
Like, that was a stupid.
Yeah, a lot of it's editing, right, Philip?
But, yeah, a lot of it's editing.
A lot of it's not his fault.
But, well, I'm...
We'll see what he goes on to do,
but he's going to have to Ben Affleck his way out of this.
I think he's a better actor when he does indie stuff.
Yeah.
Oh, I...
Well, guys, guys, it's like...
It's like when CNN shows a...
shows a trip of a clip of Trump speaking.
And it's like, those guys, no, Nazis are really good.
And then Fox News shows Biden where he goes, goes gut.
You know, it's all in the editing, man.
It's all in the editing.
My favorite Biden stuff is when he rereads the stuff he already read.
Repeat.
repeat.
Repeat with more intensity.
If he holds up signs
to say applause.
Is he a robot?
All right. Next up on
this was not a shocker.
Netflix has canceled Resident Evil after one season.
Of course they have.
Why watching any Netflix shows?
Because you know it's going to get canceled before the
The story is tied up.
Come on.
I didn't hear anything good about that.
We got Cobra Kai in two weeks.
And it looks amazing.
You know what? I hope.
I hope it's the final season.
And I hope they tie all the storylines up.
And I hope they don't leave a cliffhanger and then cancel it.
No, they said there's going to be one more season.
And the sixth season is the final season.
They have an end game.
They got a strong plan.
Yeah, as long as there's a plan, I think, without stringing it out too long, even though Michael of the week was supernatural and I'm in like season fucking eight.
Yeah, Cobra, Kai, they said always had an end game to the whole series.
I like it.
Let's see, what else we got for TV?
The Magin and Negan spin-off officially titled The Walking Dead Dead City.
I don't know.
I don't care.
Next story?
Dude, I haven't...
Yeah.
I haven't heard anything about anything about any of these new Walking Dead things.
The only shit I hear about it is on here.
You know, I mean, I'm going to keep watching them all.
I did like episode two of Tales from the Walking Dead.
It was like a Groundhog Day kind of story.
Really?
Yeah, I think that's why I liked it so much.
Okay.
Because the Terry Cruz, Olivia Munn, was just kind of something.
you would see on the show. It wasn't nothing special. But then the next one, I think it was Parker Posey, and I can't remember the other actress. She's a comedic actress. When I seen those two in it, I knew it was going to be comedic. But then they added the aspect of the Groundhog Day, were repeating the same thing over and over. I was like, this is different. And this is what I want them to do. Every episode, I want something different like this, which probably is not. I had a supernatural episode.
about that too.
Yeah, of course they did, man.
They have a supernatural episode about everything, Philip.
I mean, they should.
It was on for like 15 seasons.
I know.
I was about to say 15 seasons at like 30 episodes
of season.
I'm sure they had a lot of things they tried.
All right.
Movie news.
Rob Zombies, the Munsters,
gets a September 27th release date on Netflix.
And I figured out what's wrong with the movie.
Okay.
I think he made the movie, because he's a big fan of the show.
I think he made the movie as if it was back in the day.
Like, he tried to make an authentic Munster's movie, and that's not what people thought he was going to do.
Yeah, I'm out.
What's it streaming on?
Netflix.
Oh, well, I'm in.
I'm paying for it anyway, so why not?
Yeah.
Oh, I'm more excited about Wednesday, to be honest with you.
Yeah, definitely, which
oddly, they still haven't announced a release date.
They just keep saying this fall.
Okay.
I'm hoping October,
because that seems like the best place to release an ad of family.
Yeah, that makes sense.
That one's going to be good.
I think that one's going to be successful.
Right?
The monsters, maybe not so much.
No, I don't know about the monsters thing.
You know.
Speaking of October, Halloween ends.
they announced that it will stream on Peacock
same day as theaters October 14
I saw somebody
posted somebody posted on Facebook Brian
I don't know if it was in our group or elsewhere
but they said if I hear evil dies tonight
one time I'm turning this motherfucker off
I'm chanting along with it
I like the last one I didn't
I didn't hate it
it.
I mean, it was...
It got a lot more hate than I expected.
It was the middle part of a trilogy,
so I wasn't expecting anything
to be wrapped up.
It was called Halloween kills,
and he killed a lot of people in it.
So,
it delivered it name.
Fair enough.
Let's see.
This comes with...
We talked about the recent Warner Brothers
Discovery Shakeup.
Yes.
I'm trying to figure out if I want to re-up my HBO Max subscription or not.
Well, speaking of HBO Max, the Evil Dead Rise movie that is done filming was supposed to come to HBO Max.
But the new CEO says, nope, this movie's too good to be streaming.
It's going straight to theater.
Of course.
All right.
But.
I'm not mad at that.
I'm cool with that because I've got AMC, you know, the past that I pay $20 a month for anything.
I don't need to make money, right?
It's got the endorsement of the man himself, Ash.
That's all we need to know.
It's old.
But the release date is April.
Anything for money.
But the release date is April 21st, 2023.
At least it's not April 1st.
The Nunn 2, September 8th, 2020.
Why?
I don't know.
Are you trying to fix the things you did wrong in the first one?
That's the only thing I can see.
Well, I mean, if we look at it how the Annabelle movies, they actually got better.
Yeah, that's true.
Because I think the second one was the second Annabelle movie was the best.
It was way better than the first one, yeah.
The third one, the third one's okay, but I kind of felt like it was more family-friendly.
Yeah.
I like the third one, man.
But all you got to do is have somebody run over the nun in the first 10 minutes of the movie
and they're solid gold.
Yeah, no, I didn't hate the third one.
The first one sucked.
The second one was, like, I don't want to say really good.
It was real creepy.
I mean, considering we did that show with the Black Saint, like about a month before rest in peace, he passed away,
that was a huge deal.
That was really important.
So that's why I really don't like the nun.
Yeah, no, the nun was, the nun was bad.
I think Annabelle was like the first Annabelle.
So I'd rather watch the first Annabelle than the nun.
I probably would too.
And last up on the Warner Brothers shakeup,
they have delayed Salem's lot again.
Yet again.
Yeah, from what I'm reading, they want it to be in a,
they wanted to have a release date that takes full advantage,
not go up against anything else, just because they seem to really believe in this movie
because they have not shelved it or said it's coming to HBO Max.
They just want the right release date.
It is in the process of filming, so it's all the update I can get on Sam's Lot.
Okay, all right.
And last thing, I don't know why I put it on here, because I don't know if anybody cares, but the upcoming Clue reboot with Ryan Reynolds gets a new writer.
The what?
Clue.
Ryan Johnson, right?
Oh.
Ryan Reynolds.
Oh, no, I'm guessing Ryan Johnson is the new writer.
No, Orrin Uzel.
Never heard of him.
I probably should have put down some stuff he has written.
I think he's written a lot of stuff, so.
Okay.
Hey, Ryan Reynolds and Clue?
Yeah.
You think he'll play like the...
You die, Lance?
We broke Lance in a different way today.
It's just like the birthday party.
I think this is a story.
Or in Hatch?
No.
Say the name again?
Orieuze.
Uzel?
What the fuck?
Never, ever, ever, ever
heard of him.
Let's look him up real quick.
But the question
I was going to ask
the question
I'm going to ask while Lance is still alive
is, you think Ryan Reynolds
is going to play the Tim Curry
Butler role?
Oh, that makes sense.
I don't know if he works as well.
Oh, my God.
I mean, because, you know, Ryan Reynolds plays Brian Reynolds in every movie.
So we'll see how he goes.
What is this movie's out written, guys?
Come on.
He has written movies that you probably don't like.
One, I definitely know he don't like.
What?
Escape Room Tournament of Champions.
Uh-oh.
The Mortal Kombat, the newest one.
all right he's also written uh he's written comedies such as a 22 jump street
that was good that was good yeah that one was really good he has uh two out of three things i
like not bad not bad oh he wrote that he wrote that movie with sandra bullock and channing tatum
the lost city which i thought was okay yeah i don't know that bad it's kind of meh right so two
So, I mean, see, he looks like a little bit more of a comedic writer.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So is he going to be comedy then or what?
I mean, it's Ryan Reynolds.
And he's very hands-on in the stuff he does anyway.
So I'm pretty sure he's going to help write it to.
Okay.
Yeah.
Might not be bad, actually.
I want to see him as, I want to see him as the Tim Curry character.
And I want him to do an English accent.
And,
And cross-dress, right?
I mean, great.
Yes.
And he must break the fourth wall like Deadpool and talk to us throughout the movie.
It's either going to be really funny or it's going to suck hard.
Yeah.
True.
All right.
That's the news.
Lance is still alive.
He's still here with us.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, that's not bad, man.
I thought you were going to tell me that he had written some really bad movies.
But I'll give a pass on an escape room.
No, no pet cemetery.
Okay.
Well, maybe we'll get a pet cemetery remake part two.
Or didn't you say there's a TV series coming out or something?
A prequel.
There you go.
There you go.
Which means they're wanting to get far away from that remake as possible.
All right.
Well, we're going to fill up on that note,
Brian is going to give us the big, the small, and the very, very weird at Tom.
So y'all ready to take a trip to the trailer park?
Go.
Yeah.
All right, Brian.
A nice kitty right there.
Pull me out of this one.
A kitty.
What?
A kid?
Trailer park, boys.
Oh, I've never seen it.
I need to.
Yeah, I think they're all on Netflix.
Ah, all right.
All right.
We're going to start with, I guess you can call the weird,
the Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon.
That's definitely weird
A girl with unusual powers escapes a mental asylum
And tries to make it on her own
In one of your favorite places, Lance New Orleans
All right
This stars
Ed Screen
Which I remember he was the villain in the first Deadpool
Kate Hudson
Which I did not recognize her at first
Yeah
Right
Ray Gray
Ray Gray
Ray Gray
Ray Gray
Ray Gray who plays
Kind of like
Heavy Metal
Okay
Craig Robinson
There's the
There you go
Sylvia Grace Grimm
And then starring as
Mona Lisa is
Gianjong Sio
Probably pronounce that wrong
Yeah say that three times fast
This is
directed and written by Anna Lily Amapur, who I know...
What do I know her from?
Oh.
A girl walks home alone at night.
And she did that weird movie with Aquaman and John Wick, the Bad Bad Bad.
Terrible.
Yeah, I was less than impressed with that one.
But the girl who walks home alone is pretty good.
Yes, it is.
All black and white, right, if I remember correctly?
What did you guys think of Mona Lisa in the Blood Moon?
I'm curious.
I mean, like you said, New Orleans is one of my favorite cities in the world.
So anything that takes place there, I'm going to watch.
But it looks pretty good.
Looks pretty interesting.
Yeah.
I have no idea what it's about.
Yeah, fair enough.
Greg Robinson is in it.
Yeah, I get from the trailer, basically, she's a, I don't know if they knew she had superpowers and that's why she's locked up or maybe.
Maybe they didn't believe she had superpowers and they locked her up.
But it looks like she escapes and she is going to meet some interesting characters in New Orleans throughout the movie.
I saved it.
Oh, now I got to watch that movie now.
I see you pull the man's jawbone off.
Craig Robinson is the greatest.
I love that guy.
I seen you pull that man's jaw phone oh, no.
I faint it.
And then he walks in and then he has to see if the people were just just there.
So he puts his hand in the food.
I was like, why are you doing that?
He's like, it's still warm.
DeWelanos, motherfucker.
And you know what?
I did some work for somebody.
and they paid me in the DeWulanis.
Yeah.
Yeah, and like, I used to work with this guy, and every time he's seen it, he'd be like,
DeWulanis, motherfucker.
I used to work with a guy that had one.
It was fantastic.
So, yeah, I'm good on, good on, good on, good on gas.
I will say that.
Small as hell, but good on gas.
It's just a random ass car, you know?
All right. Sounds like we're both, or all three of us, Lance had stepped out for a second.
It sounds like we're all kind of interested in this one.
Yeah.
This one is coming to VOD and Select Theater September 30th.
If Craig Robinson wasn't in it, I probably would not have any interest in it.
But because he's there, it adds some validity.
Yeah.
our next one is something in the dirt
this one was a teaser so it didn't really
give us much but yeah i'm gonna read
i don't have any idea what's going on
i'm going to read the synopsis here which is
kind of fucking lengthy i'm dv does this
when neighbors john
and leave yeah when neighbors john and levy
i witnessed supernatural events in their los angeles apartment
building they realize documenting the paranormal
could inject some fame and fortune into their wasted lives,
an ever deeper and darker rabbit hole,
the friendship phrase as they uncover the dangers of the phenomenon
and the city of each other. Okay.
I don't know what any of that means.
Yeah, that was a strange description.
Yes, this, of course, is written, directed, and starring
Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson.
Ah, the endless.
The endless.
Yeah.
So with their past movies,
it's going to be very super
sci-fi supernatural-esque.
Yeah, it just
looks like a couple of friends
see some
paranormal
sci-fi shit and want to document it
and it looks like
maybe it's going to
cause a problem in their friendship.
I'm guessing one
I'm guessing one problem.
kind of making a movie up as I go what I think it is.
That's cool.
Yeah, I mean, that's anything, right?
Maybe one wants to go a little bit deeper into finding out what's going on,
and the other one's not as keen on that.
Kind of like, Philip, kind of like when a couple of friends take mushrooms and watch Mandy.
I don't know what that has to do with this, but I'll take it.
It was a teaser.
It didn't give us much, but I've liked everything more had and Benson to have done so far.
Yeah, same here.
still want to get you guys on the show? Except Moon Night.
I wasn't a huge fan of Moon Night.
Yeah, it got weird. It's true.
I wasn't a fan of the series, but I wouldn't mind, um, uh, I forgot the actor's name.
Oh, Oscar Isaac.
Yeah. I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I wouldn't mind him coming back as the character in somebody else's show.
Yeah.
But they've already
Greenlit a season two, Brian, so.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing
like Moon Night pop up in the Blade movie
or something in the after-credit scene.
I can see that. That's a cool character.
I was excited. Again,
Midnight Suns.
Yeah, have Ghost Rider
and
New Night Popup and
credit scene. And it's got to be
Nick Cage. Not the guy
with the car from the Shield series.
No, I think we need a
a new ghostwriter.
I'm hearing a lot of bad.
Ghost Rider is...
Dane Dahan!
This actually is the role
Dane Dahan was made for.
This literally is him.
But Ghost Rider is
the biggest blemish
on Nick Cage's resume.
That movie was so
fucking bad. Especially the sequel that they
filmed in, fucking Bolivia, or
not the movie. I kind of
liked the sequel. I kind of like the
sequel. Did you? I feel like the director
was like U-B-U, Nick, and just go out here.
Yeah.
I'm hearing a lot of, I know we're getting off this trailer talk,
but I heard a lot about Norman Redis might be ghost Friday.
Okay.
Really?
Okay.
That makes sense.
That would actually be pretty cool.
But that would be an amazing end-credit scene at all these characters popped up
at the blade end-credit scene, and they got a four-in-the-midnight suns.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Dude, they get at the Dark Heart series with Wolverine, Punisher, and Ghost Rider.
Come on, my God.
Come on, man.
But no, this movie in particular, dude, I'm telling you, it would be fucking amazing.
This movie in particular, I don't have any idea what it's about.
There is something about all of the images that they showed that gave me goosebumps.
And I don't know what it is.
I wasn't even entirely paying attention, but it did it anyway.
That's a good sign.
So, yeah, I'm sort of interested.
Yeah, I'm not really going off of the teaser.
I'm just going off of their previous work.
And I think the paranormal sci-fi stuff is.
kind of their niche, their lane.
So.
And that one with the Falcon I really liked.
Can't think of the name of it because I like that so much.
Striking Vipers?
No.
It's your favorite Black Mirror episode, huh?
It does come up a lot.
The one where he like goes back in time or something.
something.
Yeah.
I know that.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
He's like a paramedic
or ambulance driver or something.
Frequency rip-off?
Yeah.
Oh, no, it wasn't called frequency.
What was it called?
Oh, so many people are yelling at us right now.
But it was something that was exactly the same thing as frequency.
By the way, by the way, to go completely
off topic, guys.
Yes.
My brother just got us tickets to
go see the uh the kansas city chiefs play the uh tennessee titans november 6th so we will be
road tripping it up to kc yeah we're gonna yeah we're gonna meet uh we're gonna uh tailgate with
friend of the show patrick lear and a couple of other guys so down are you gonna come with us
i did if you want let me tell you what we got brother we we literally literally have a
two-bedroom apartment with a living room with a full couch that makes into a bed
for two people and a full kitchen so you guys could both come for fuck's sake Brian
Kansas City is what 10 miles from Anchorage?
Give a take yeah it's gonna be fun man November 6th on your calendar
all right I would love to go boo the chiefs in Kansas City
Chiefs and the Titans
Titans are the Oilers, man.
My favorite
Kansas, although
versus also Dallas
because that's where Kansas City
came from.
My favorite sporting experience
is when I wore
all my Houston Rockets gear
to a Seattle Sonics game.
Oh, God.
I was the only
little red dot
in the sea of green
and we
kicked their ass that night.
I love it, man.
I love it.
But that's like an Astros fan going to an Atlanta Braves game.
Yeah.
Back in the day.
Which they're not in the same division anymore, so it's not quite as poignant.
But back in the day, that was a big deal.
All right.
Or a Red Sox fan going to a Yankees game, right?
There you go.
Getting to a fight in a stance.
That sounds fun.
Sure.
Something in the...
We had a Redskins color.
car, I'm sorry, we had
Redskins colored car, it was
like this like burnt red looking
and uh, at
although I was also
talking shit to some Redskins fan
Uh-oh, uh-oh. But
uh,
they started talking shit to me. I just talked shit back.
Right? Yeah.
We came out after the game, somebody had
dumped our little
mini grill. They had dumped our
charcoal on top of our car.
I was like,
is this
because we have a Redskins colored car or is it
I guess. I'm guessing.
Yes and yes.
All of the above,
Philip.
Yeah.
All of the above.
All of the above. All right.
Something in the dirt.
November 3rd.
Okay.
And our final trailer,
it is finally here.
It's finally happening.
Terrifier 2.
Oh, yes.
Our gift.
Our friend, art the clown,
friend of the show.
There it is.
Yes, after being resurrected by a sinister entity, Art De Clown returns to the timid town of Miles County.
Never heard of it.
Where he targets a teenage girl and her younger brother on Halloween night.
Well, that sounds just nasty.
This stars, of course, David Howard Thornton is Art of course.
Friend of the show.
One of Nez's crushes, Felissa Rose, from that movie.
Yeah, that movie.
Yeah, that movie.
I got you.
Can't think of it.
Yeah, Felicia Rose.
I got you.
That one that she was in.
Yes.
Felacio Rose.
Sleepaway camp.
There you go.
There you go.
Let's see.
Griffin's.
Griffin's.
No.
Hey, he's that kid from Cobra Cubs.
Daniel's son
Is that hawk?
Oh, okay.
The shitty son.
Daniel son's son.
Yeah, the little shitty kid.
Okay, it's kind of shitty, isn't he?
A little talk sucker.
Who else is in here?
Lauren Libera.
Chris Jericho, I'm in.
What?
No.
The Ayatola of Rock and Rolla himself.
And a bunch of other people.
This, of course, is again directed and written by Damien Leone.
Is that how you can ask us his last name?
I think so.
Yep.
Weren't we supposed to one of the canceled Frightmare trips?
Weren't we supposed to have beers with them?
I want to go there.
That was a missed opportunity that may come around again on the next one.
Now that we're all going to Fright Mare in May and the same, or in a new, a new locale.
I think we need to start pimping Frightmare hard so we can be sure to.
get our press passes.
Let's kiss as much ass as we,
Frightmare ass as we can, starting right now.
Well, hey, if we go up, Texas Frightmare.
The guy's the convention ever.
There's no other convention I'd rather go to.
Lloyd, Lloyd, are you listening?
Lloyd, are you listening?
If you're not, I'm going to email this show to you.
If I had a choice.
I would have a whole entourage there, you know?
I had a choice between San Diego Comic-Con and Texas Frightmare.
I choose Texas Frightmare.
Actually, Brian, ten times out of ten.
I know we're being facetious, but there is no comparison, dude.
Frightmare is fucking awesome.
Every year we go, we have a blast.
Am I not right?
Very true.
Go where to the greatest horror convention that there is?
And that would be, Philip?
Texas Frightmare, baby.
Bring it out on.
When I hear people talk about horror conventions,
I automatically assume they're talking about Texas Fright Mayor.
Because what other horror commissions are there?
You mean Texas Fright Mayor?
All right.
Terrifier 2.
Terrify 2.
I'm in.
It looks like more of what we got in the first one.
Yep.
Plus Chris Jericho.
Chris Jericho.
And Texas Fright Mayor.
And Texas Pright Mayor.
Chris Jericho, Le Champion.
That's one of his gimmicks, because he's from Canada.
Sure, sure.
Got to have that in there, so.
I always like when he was the Ayatollah rock and rolla.
Right.
This trailer looks almost as good as Texas Frightmare, but not...
Almost.
Almost.
Almost as good as.
But I definitely think we have to see this movie and go to Texas Frightmare.
And go to Texas.
Texas, fright mayor.
Lloyd,
are you listening?
Lloyd.
Lloyd, on a dead horse.
Cres passes.
Texas.
Fright, mayor.
Texas.
Fright, mayor.
Or as Captain Kirk would say,
Texas.
Fright, mayor.
See you in this movie?
That's what he says.
Dude, we're all in on this movie.
Art he's going to be there, Captain Kirk.
The only problem with Terrifier 2 is,
it's getting a limited theater release.
Okay.
Well, we shall find a way, like we did with three from hell.
I believe the limited release is October 6th.
But I don't know if it's going to be this year.
I'm hoping this year they signed an exclusive streaming deal with Screenbox.
I have been hearing a lot more recently about Screenbox.
Yeah, they are.
are, it seems like
every other day I'm reading that they're
kind of, you know,
whatever newer horror movies coming out,
they're kind of, you know, snatching up the rights
to. That's what I heard too, man.
It's an affordable streaming app
that has horror movies, I believe it's like $4.99.
Yeah, yeah, they're trying to go head to head with
Shutter.
Shutter, of course, of course.
But nobody can ever go head to head with Texas Frightmare.
Of course not.
The premier convention for all things were.
They could have an open home with Fright Mirror,
but they roll their joints all wrong.
All right.
It sounds like we're all in not only for Texas Frightmare,
but Terror Fire 2.
Indeed.
Indeed.
All right.
That is the final trailer.
Any other trailers we haven't talked about?
Of course, go to the horror returns on all social media platforms.
There was quite a few trailers that came out this week, but we can't talk about all of them.
All right.
We'll move on to listener feedback.
This week, the podcast Spotlight Shines on Shudcast.
S-H-U-D, Shudders, Horrifically Undisirable Degenerates cast.
A horror movie podcast devoted to watching, disgusting, and promoting, in parentheses, entirely unwarranted.
The best streaming service since the Euphrates.
And I believe they sent us a message on Instagram.
Oh, awesome.
Saying they also shine their podcast light on us.
What?
Thank you.
We're shining our lights on each other.
Never cross streams.
Nice.
But check them out.
Just be careful on your way.
Yes.
Regarding our re-upload of Bright and Enemy Mind,
Zim Vader, who has taken over this comment section, says,
I'm an idiot.
I was so keen to check this one out because I love the movie as a kid,
but your review just confused the hell out of me.
Eventually, I did some research and realized that I hadn't seen this film at all.
It was actually Enemy Mine that I was thinking of with Dennis Quaid and Lou Gossett,
junior.
Which we also reviewed.
Yes.
Anyway, still a good listen, though.
I think we did that one with, what do we do that one with?
Star Trek Beyond, I think.
Yeah, Star Trek Beyond.
Yeah, Star Trek Beyond.
Yeah.
Yeah, one he asked here, have you guys seen enemy mine?
And did you like it better or worse than the actual Alien Nation movie?
I like it better.
I have to honestly say I like them equally.
They are movies.
Both of them were always on cable, like, all the time.
And they were just movies that if they were on, I would just sit down and watch them.
And they're just good fun kind of sci-fi alien action movies.
So which one is the one that we did with Bright?
Alien Nation.
Oh, Alien.
James Khan and Mandy Patinkin.
kind of had that cany as the top and Wright had the
the orc as the cop kind of
Right
Basically the
In that when the aliens were kind of like the
You know the people that were moving in from other countries
And they would set up like grocery stores
And stuff like that
Right
They were getting high off
Yeah they were getting high on drugs that look like
Dish soap
Yeah that's right
I remember
Yeah, I was thinking about that one the other day, actually.
They're all good movies.
Weren't they getting like, they were getting like lunch or something,
and he was getting like a burrito and the alien cop was getting like a roadkill or something.
I don't remember that.
I do.
He's like, you should really try this.
It's really good.
Like a fucking squirrel.
They got run over.
Yeah.
So alienation and Dennis Quaid.
both really good.
And then now you've got
Assassination Nation, which was also
a good movie.
I liked it.
Kind of felt like it was a buildup to
not much at the end.
Ah, yeah, kind of fell flat
at the end a little bit. Yeah.
Yeah. Well, they can't
all be a hundred. They can't all be
tens, unlike what
regardless of what Nez
says, they can't all
be hell of good.
But you know what is
hella good.
What's that?
Texas Frightmare.
Ah, yes, it is.
Every year.
Year in and year out.
Year in and year out.
Change the title of the show
to Texas Frightmare.
Texas Frightmare podcast.
Wait,
wait a minute.
What state again, Brian?
They better give us some free checks.
Texas.
And what do they
talk about, Philip?
It rhymes with the light.
Frightmare?
They talk about frighteners.
Like nightmares, but with fright.
Isn't that what nightmares?
You know what? I don't want to go to.
Oh, man.
If Lance Henriksen is there this year,
and we don't get an interview after all this,
somebody.
Somebody's getting slapped, my
God. No. When we see Lance,
he's going to be like, I have been waiting
for you guys as a whole time.
Nobody ever contacted me.
My people are keeping me from you.
I've been looking for you guys for the past
few years.
Brian, is that the year you were there with us?
Yes. When that occurred?
We did speak to Lance, but we
weren't able to interview him.
Yeah, because we could not get past
his handler. He seems
like honestly he seems like
the nicest guy. Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Crystal Garand
posted a video
of sideshow collectibles
Pumpkinhead collectible.
Speaking of Lance Henriksen,
wow, how
did that work out?
That is an amazing piece, but it is
definitely not in my price
range. I believe
it's over a thousand dollars
at you.
Holy shit.
But it is extremely detailed.
Better be big as fuck.
It is very large.
I would almost be scared to
have it on the shelf and worry about it
falling over or something.
Confirm.
You're getting like super green, Brian.
Yeah.
Regarding Wishmaster,
Zim Vader said.
Zim Vader again.
Again.
God damn it.
Is Zim the only one
who writes into our show?
Yeah, for the rest of this one he is.
For fuck, say, man.
He says,
Andrew Devoff's performance as the gin
is the greatest performance
by any actor in horror movie history.
The only other performance
which comes close is Andrew Devoff
and Wishmaster 2.
A guy that will
change his voice by
smoking cigarettes and drinking milkshake
right to give him that that voice he had I appreciate
whatever that dedication
I like it
regarding only murders in the building
um there you go Brian
Zim says uh I want to check this out
God damn it is it
is not one else right into us anymore come on
Get on the sky
Zim told everybody do not write into my section
Ah, there you go.
There you go.
Is it worthy?
If you like a good, if you like a good comedic murder mystery with Steve Martin and Martin Short, then yes, it is worthy.
Okay.
Sounds doable.
That's it for listener feedback.
As always, our show intro.
Zim feedback.
Yeah, from Zim feedback.
Our show intro comes from Steve Carlton, from the geek.
who has a live show going on right after this one, I think.
Yep.
Although when this comes out, it'll be in the past.
That's right.
They go live with their show every Saturday.
At what time, Brian?
I will say whatever time we get done is when they start.
So basically, nine-ish, ten-ish.
Centres time?
The best I can do is maybe off
of California time, so I would say
like five or six,
maybe seven. Oh, okay.
Yeah, so like,
probably seven Pacific.
Nine-ish central time, Philip.
I don't know. We don't know time.
Ten-ish Eastern time.
But on YouTube, go check out
the geeks with Z.
And after that, after that,
go to the Texas Frightmare.com
webpage for everything, Texas Frightmare.
Yes. Actually, go buy some stuff from...
I actually bought a t-shirt from us right before the show started.
It's cool as shit.
Our website is pretty awesome.
And I got like a nice try blend.
They have the THR for the horror returns, but it's done in really cool lettering.
Yep, yep.
It's all heavy metal and shit.
Courtesy of Steve Carlton of the League of Geese.
Courtsy of Steve Carlton, absolutely.
outstanding. And it's a fucking badass. I just spot it. Hopefully one day
me and Steve will meet and any places
as good to meet is Texas Fright Mayor.
God. I'll tell you what. We've sucked so much cock
on this episode.
That's a little salty.
Yeah. Cuff the balls. I'm definitely starting to feel like
like we're in that movie cruising at this point.
And be on the lookout for more great stuff from Steve.
Our artwork, of course, comes from Natsulani.

Sending your neighbors to our show.
I don't know if I want my neighbors listening on my show, but whatever.
All right, let's move on to featured attractions.
Yes, finally, the movies.
The vampires.
The reason we do the podcast, let's go.
We're going to check out the brand new movie, The Invitation, the Brand New One.
22, 2022.
And go back to
1960 for the Brides of Dracula.
All right.
Because there's a few different
invitations, I think.
Yeah, I know.
The one with the wine glass and shit like that
that came out a couple of years ago.
I didn't like that one, did you, Brian?
A lot of people...
I loved that one.
I don't even remember it.
Yeah, I didn't...
I wasn't a fan.
I dug it because
I don't want to get too deep into it,
but it dealt with grief and mental health and, you know,
stuff like that.
And I watched it at a time when I was kind of going through some things.
So I kind of understood.
Yeah, and there's a lot of great performances in there.
It definitely is a slow burn.
Yeah, most people love it.
I'm in the super minority, just like I am with Pits Cemetery Remake.
But, you know.
Yes, that is an even smaller one.
We're not Nazis.
We cannot be in with each other, right?
Yeah.
All right.
But for now, we're going to start with the Brides of Dracula from 1960.
Vampire Hunter Van Helsing returns to Transylvania to destroy a handsome bloodsucker,
baron Meister, who has to do.
Designs on a beautiful young school teacher, Mary Han.
Director is Terrence with a V in it somewhere for some reason, Fisher.
Also known for horror of Dracula, the Mickey Mouse Club.
The Horror of Dracula and Mickey Mouse Club?
The Horror of Dracula, the Mickey Mouse Club, and Children Galore.
Children
We should probably open an investigation
on this dude
Just saying
Children galore
What?
Writers are
Jimmy Sankster
Peter Bryan
and Edward Percy
The prop
department put a lot of effort
Into making a realistic
Model bat
It got lost
And had to be replaced
on short notice
I could tell.
This explains the rather unconvincing.
They threw a piece of rubber.
Of the model they got in the actual movie.
But how do you spend that much time on a bat and then it just gets lost?
You know what?
Somebody was doing cocaine or something.
Wasn't it legal back then?
This was after that, right?
I don't know.
I'm not sure.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I think they.
I think they made cocaine illegal in 1910 or something.
So yeah.
Okay.
Probably much earlier.
This was the UK though, wasn't it?
They had like different, different laws.
Yeah.
True.
True.
For the film's climax, Peter Cushing and director Terrence Fisher had a difference of opinion over how the climax should be done.
Well, that is interesting.
the actor wasn't happy about the idea of Van Helsing using powers of black magic in order to destroy Baron Meister
Cushing explained that it went against everything his character represented
which I kind of understand yeah yeah sure all right 1960 Brides of Dracula Lance what did you think
Oh, man, I don't want to say anything too bad because a good friend of the show, Joe Beal, is a huge hammer horror fan.
So, I don't know, man.
It's kind of hard for me to say anything too bad about this one.
But, man, I don't know, dude.
When they grab that tree stump, I don't know if you guys noticed the part when they were, they were,
taking the horse and carriage through the woods
and the guy was going really fast
and she said will you please slow
down will you please slow down
and he had to stop it
because there was a stump in the road
right
uh Brian did you see that stump
wiggle as much as I did
like it was made out of rubber
there was quite a few
things going on in this movie that was like that
but I
gave it to benefit of the doubt for the time
okay
I mean,
1960?
Well,
Kubrick was doing
movies in 1960
that had
phenomenal special effects.
I'm sure
at a different budget
than this movie had.
I'm sure you're right.
Let me ask you this, though,
dude.
If they were in...
If they were...
I can't get over this, Brian.
If they were in...
If they were in Transylvania,
why was literally everything written in German?
Why did they have sauerkraut and Bratworths in the restaurant?
What?
Transylvania.
Transylvania, if you look on a map,
Transylvania in Alps,
are literally about,
I don't know what,
a thousand miles away from Germany?
What's up with that?
What's with all the German shit, dude?
They love their German customs and delicacies, and apparently their backgrounds and everything.
I don't know.
Well, I don't know, man.
I think that I would say the Rocky Horror Picture Show got a lot, I mean, a whole lot of inspiration from this movie because was it just me?
or did the baroness
looked like an absolute
you know fucking masculine
Adam's apple included
and everything drag queen?
Is that the one with the over-the-top laugh?
Yeah, the gray-haired lady.
Yeah.
I mean, am I right?
Or am I off here, dude?
I mean, seriously.
This was like
a strangely,
sexually,
uncertain
movie
where you had
drag queens
letting the
Philip
just jumped on again
dude was it just
me or did that
baroness
looked like a drag queen
oh the old
yeah that's because she was
like 90 years old
yeah but she looked
just like a dude man
she kind of did
totally look like a dude
it's nothing wrong
with that Lance
it's nothing wrong with that
well let me
tell you what there is nothing wrong with.
The fact that the
school teacher, the school marm
or whatever, right,
that was here visiting,
you could definitely see some
incredibly erect,
hard nipples.
Oh, yeah.
Brown dress, or that gray dress.
Am I right or am I right, guys?
Hey, hey.
In the nightgown?
Yes.
Very chilly
on set that day.
She's just perfectly happy,
opening the door and her nightgown.
Well, on top of that, it's so funny how she would go to sleep and full makeup
with her hair completely done up.
And then she's over there talking to the guy like, oh, don't jump.
And it's like she goes into his room.
And she goes through that door, which she's specifically told, whatever you do,
don't go through the door.
what does she expect to happen?
What does she fucking expect to happen?
Of course.
Of course she's going to get fucked.
But did you?
I don't know.
That's the problem.
You really don't know for sure.
It sounds like she just met this dude and was like,
I'm going to release you and then I'm going to marry you.
I know, even though she literally just met him.
But what's funny is that he was literally wearing just as much makeup as she was.
If you look at him, he had his eyes done, he had his fucking lipstick on.
What's that?
What did you think about the teeth?
The vampire fangs.
You know what?
They weren't even the same color as like his regular teeth.
I didn't notice that.
He just had them done.
Yeah.
It was like, man, I've had better vampire teeth than that for.
Halloween and I know it was 1960
but got to be it.
The waxed teeth, right
Philip?
All right, I've said my
piece, this movie is silly as hell.
Yes, it was
1960. Yes,
you have to give a little, you know, a little bit
of creed, street cred to the
doing it. You know what else was 1960?
Psycho.
Boom.
Wow.
Mm.
That's like when you're like, hey, that was like,
late 90s, early 2000
CGI. I'm like, yeah,
Jurassic Park. Okay.
I'm going to hand the microphone
over to you guys. But to be fair, that was done by the
master of suspense.
Not taking away anything from...
It's hard to compare everything else to the best.
Yeah. Oh, speaking,
one last thing that I'll say, and this has nothing to do with this movie,
but I have been hearing a lot of talk lately, guys,
and movie horror hounds and movie fan circles,
the new master of suspense is Jordan Peel.
And I like that.
I kind of agree with this motherfucker is doing some damn good shit.
I don't agree with you there, but I think it's the,
I got to see after, you got to maybe after his fifth movie,
I can't really give him the master credit after three.
Little early, right?
Little early.
All right.
I'm passing the mic.
He's only had three, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Three and one of them was kind of divisive with people.
None of them were divisive.
Us?
Yeah.
Yeah, probably us.
I love all TV.
That was a good movie.
Get out.
Philip said, get out.
Yeah.
Get out.
Get out was fantastic.
Us was pretty, pretty great.
I mean, like, it's the worst of his movies.
that he's done, but it was still pretty fucking great.
I don't even know if I'd say it's the worst of his movies.
It's hard for me to say.
My favorite is no so far.
Spoiler alert.
Because the other two were on my top ten, so we'll see where this one ends up.
But great things in store for this, young man.
Yeah, I mean, three movies is a little early to be, you know.
Yeah, I've seen.
Maybe not, man.
I've seen people say he's probably the master.
of horror. I'm like,
it's a little too soon
for me. Yeah, a little too soon.
Now, if his next two
movies are... Aria Oster's only
had three theater movies, right?
Yeah, but I wouldn't call
him the master of anything. Not
saying he's bad, I enjoy those movies,
but like if Jordan Peel's
next two movies are on par with his first three,
then you've got to put him in the conversation.
Okay. There you go.
I think that that's a, that's a
really good judge of it.
Because, like
Quentin Tarantino.
Like,
Mm-hmm.
I would,
how many movies did he have before
Pulp Fiction popped out?
Like one or two, right?
No, no, no, no, no.
At least four.
Fiction was,
before Pulp Fiction?
I think so.
I think he only had one.
Are you serious?
Okay.
Resort dogs.
I'm licking it up.
I could have sworn.
I think he did,
he did Reservoir dogs,
then Pulp Fiction.
Four room.
Well, but he did a few before Reservoir Dogs, didn't he?
He might have been writing, but I think Reservoir was his first.
Ah, yes, you're right, writing, writing.
I'm sorry.
I stand corrected.
Yeah, I believe Pulp was his second.
A movie like Pulp Fiction.
Yeah.
And get out is not a movie like Pulp Fiction.
Okay.
You know?
Yeah.
So, we'll go ahead.
I'm looking at Quentin's only had like a handful.
Yeah.
Okay.
Quentin did.
something called my best my best friend's birthday never heard like a short film or something no it's
it's a full movie it's mickey's birthday and his girlfriend just left him so that's when his friend
clarence shows him a birthday he'll never forget sounds like something i would never watch
probably not probably like a college movie you're right and then reservoir dogs and then pulp so
i stand corrected guys jacky brown was right after that wasn't it well for room
he did one of those.
And then he did an episode of ER and then Jackie Brown.
He did an episode of ER?
He did.
He did.
Yeah.
He did.
I think he did it on the lark.
See, and Jackie Brown was a cool movie, but I think that was more of a low point for him.
See, but then you can say if that's his low point, that's pretty fucking good.
If that's your low point.
And I think if we're comparing him to Quentin Tarantino,
then a bad fucking deal, man.
Jordan Peel's surprised the fuck out of me so far.
Yeah, it's a slippery slope because I've seen somebody,
they were saying Jordan's the master,
and they were comparing him to someone like Carpenter,
which I don't think you can make that comparison,
because Carpenter, say what you say about his filmography,
he created one of the most recognizable horror icons ever.
True.
but Jordan hasn't got to that level where he's created something iconic okay all right yeah
speaking Jordan Peel's movies are better than John Carpenter's movies okay speaking of
witch I feel a disturbance I think no man Brian since for way drag me to hell if you want to but that one is man
Jordan Pills movies are better than John Carver's movies.
That's hard.
That's tough.
That's tough.
And Nes may show up.
Maybe he's one of the greats.
I can't honestly, just to be fair, I can't say Jordan Pills one of the greats, but I say he will be one of the greats.
Yeah.
I think when it's all said and done.
Fair enough.
All right, since we're way off topic, I'm going to...
I already gave away my cool of the week, Brian.
But I'm going to jump into...
What?
What?
Last week, which was Star Trek Strange New Worlds,
I have to talk to you guys about episode 9.
And it's called All Who Wander.
And I'm going to tell you right now that it has complete homage to three whole
horror movies. And it's got some, you know, it sort of hints at some other horror movies.
But there's three sci-fi horror classics that it pays strong homage to.
And that would be the thing because it starts out in an isolate. They find a spaceship that's in an isolated frozen planet.
And none of them have the spacesuits. So they're in incredibly low temperatures. So they have to go inside.
where it's very, you know, everybody's close together,
and everybody's getting super paranoid.
Then it becomes alien,
because there's literally a monster that pops out
of the stomach of someone.
But it doesn't stop with just one.
And then it pays homage to Predator,
because it shows you the alien's point of view
as it runs through the spaceship.
I thought you were going to say,
the brides of Dracula.
Speaking,
I forgot about that movie.
The Bride's a Dracula.
I'll go real quick, because
this movie, I am into
Hammer Horror films. I respect
them. Peter Cushing is a
fucking legend. I could not
pay attention to this movie
to save my life. It was
completely important.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I kind of like the first 30 minutes.
This barren...
I had to rewind it.
Yeah.
I know.
Meanster, minster.
This is supposed to be Dracula.
I guess.
Yeah.
He's like the Aquaman of Dracula.
I know I said I'm trying to be positive and try it because I said it's easier to tear down to build up.
don't fucking give me this guy as Dracula
and tell me his fucking Dracula
but he's fucking barren,
minster, meanster
to get out of here.
But what we do
Visabaron?
That sounds like a Jewish Dracula.
That thing.
Mel Brooks' Dracula movie?
Yes, that would be fantastic.
I,
there's...
You already did it.
of Frankenstein.
I mean, to be honest,
like,
you know, all the effects,
they were what they were for the time.
Sure, sure.
The acting,
the acting didn't really bother me.
It was just the story was just completely boring.
I didn't care about anything that was going on.
So bad.
So bad.
I try to give these movies the respect it deserves
by watching them fully,
but it was hard not to put down my phone
and look at other things while the movie was going on.
I think my daughter came in
and we had a full conversation about something.
else for 20 minutes and not one point I thought should I pause this movie?
Yeah.
No.
And I, yeah.
And this was the first watch for me.
I've seen a lot of pictures of the brides, a couple of the brides, you know,
very Yvonne Montlore who plays Marianne.
Very beautiful lady.
Yeah.
I've seen plenty of pictures of her as a vampire.
But.
It's got a hell of an over bite that one.
but it's like in a cute way.
Yeah, but at no time was I into it.
And then came the end with the showdown between Peter Cushing and Barron, what fuck his name is.
And I was completely-
I was bored.
It was fucking, I don't know if they were trying to play the fight as comical.
It got bad, man.
Because the scene where the Barron fucker is choking Peter Cucon.
Cushing with the chain and Peter Cushion's like tongue is hanging out his mouth.
I'm just like, is this serious?
Is this like really happening?
Thank you.
Right.
I was going to mention that.
I was like, why is this tongue sticking out?
What is going on?
Is this like an outtake that they accidentally left in the film of him joking around?
Like, ah, and they were like, no, we're going to use that.
I'm like, no, this is supposed to be the final showdown.
Between him and someone that is supposed to be Dracula,
and you're fucking making me laugh with your tongue hanging out, getting choked.
And I can't, honestly, I can't find anything really positive to say that I liked about this movie.
Yeah.
Maybe he just likes getting a joke.
What do you think, Philip?
Quick, quick review or fast?
Yeah, no, I think maybe he just likes getting choked.
Well, he didn't say a safe word, so.
Did he?
No, I kind of had the same issue with it.
It's got like some really classic elements.
I sort of thought about a, what is that Sean Connery movie where he's dealing with the little people?
Oh, Darby O'Gill and the Little People.
Darby O'Gill and the Little People.
It had a little bit of that to me, but I used to love that.
Is that a Disney movie?
Yeah, I loved it, man.
It's so, I don't know.
I haven't seen it in a long time.
I just watch it as a kid.
I used to watch it all the time, Brian.
I have not heard that movie since I was a kid.
Yeah.
But the Banshee used to scare the shit.
Yeah, the Banshee.
Oh.
Yeah.
It was very, very scary.
Very scary.
But it had a lot of that old school, you know, 1960s movie.
I know.
I know.
It was cool.
Yeah.
And so part of that was cool.
But yeah, man, I'd
Yeah, none of that stuff
Trying to take myself
Yeah, trying to take myself out of looking at it
Through today's eyes
Was hard
And it's
Kind of disjointed, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense
It's just the way they told us
There's a whole
Yeah, go ahead
I was going to say it's the way they said
Yeah, it's just you can't
I don't care
that he's trying to make these women into his brides and somebody's saving them you gave me no
motivation they even care about these women that just I didn't care and he's not like menacing
at all he seems like just a douchebag yeah yeah and like there's that whole scene where um the other
two brides are just standing in the corner and every every time something
happens, it goes to them, and they're just watching from the corner.
They didn't do anything.
Anything at all.
They were literally window dressing.
And the one of them, who was slightly weird-looking, looked surprisingly cute as a vampire.
I can't remember what her name was or whatever.
The Bruner.
No, do I really give a shit?
No, but it was one of the other brides.
Okay.
The one that, the one whose face you see was.
when you look up this movie.
Okay, I know what you're saying.
Yeah.
Yeah, I thought the vampires were weak.
I thought the special effects were weak.
I'm not entirely sure of what killed him in that last section
because I wasn't really paying attention a whole lot.
Couldn't tell you either.
Was it the cross of the windmill that landed in the shadow?
Was that what killed him?
Don't know.
Okay.
Well, I, you don't know.
you don't know.
I don't really give a shit anyway.
Yeah, man, it was, it's, it's, it's not a movie I ever plan on watching again.
It almost had some of that nostalgia feel to me just from the, you know, the hills are alive with the sound of music sort of photography.
Because it came from that same era.
But man, it was not of that same quality.
Yeah.
Maybe we could just go to Texas Frightmare.
Maybe we could.
And then this movie would disappear.
Maybe we can make it erased from history.
But no, yeah, not a giant fan of this one.
Like, I'm sure there's some shit that I'm missing in there.
Let's do scores.
Let's do scores and move on.
Yeah.
Let's do scores.
Lance.
Four on ten.
Brian.
I think that's fair.
I mean, I like Hammer Horror.
And like I said, Peter Cushing's,
especially in these Hammer Horror movies, is a legend.
But at just no point in the story that they gave me anything to care about
or be interested in.
So I think most of that for is my respect to Hammer Horror.
So I think Four is fair.
No, and Van Helsing didn't even look like that.
like a badass. I could have kicked the shit out of this guy.
I'm going to generously give it a four.
Yay!
Bing, Bing, Bing, Bing, Bing, Bing, Bing, Bing, Bing, Bing, 4-4.
Barely.
Oh, it's not like a 7-77 on the slot machine, Brian, right?
That's like a so bad it's good four.
Okay.
Next?
All right.
Natalie Emmanuel, please.
Oh, that's a 10 on 10.
And the girl, the movie.
Oh, the girl.
You know what?
I think we should be able to either give the score to the movie or the girl.
What do you all think?
I just gave my score to her, so.
That's fair.
Those nightgowns killer.
The invitation, 2020.
A young woman is courted and swept off her feet only to realize a gothic conspiracy is afoot.
And that is a really shitty description of what this movie is.
Something is a foot.
Yeah.
A gothic conspiracy.
That's terrible.
A girl hooks up at a family reunion and it's a vampire.
How about that?
Philip, you just gave away the big twist.
Oh, no.
Oh, why else would you see that?
That's in the trailer.
No, I didn't know that going on, man.
Okay.
That's where I always go to hook up, Pam.
Well, I specifically avoided trailers on this one, so.
Not that you couldn't see it coming a mile away.
Director is Jessica M. Thompson, also known for the Light of the Moon.
I don't know what that is.
I don't know if that is either.
Okay.
writers
Jessica M. Topson
with Blair Butler
who wrote the screenplay for Hellfest
Oh hey!
Oh, we love that movie.
That was fun.
With a print of the show
Seth M. Sherwood.
Yes.
Hey.
Who we interviewed the podcast
in 2018.
So go check out that episode.
Thomas Doherty
replaced Garrett Headland for this movie.
Would that be the lead actor?
I guess.
I don't know who either of these people are.
I think so.
Garrett Headland.
That name sounds familiar here, Brian.
What else has he been in?
He was on...
But Thomas Doherty, which one did he play?
I believe Thomas Doherty is the main character.
The guy.
The main dude, the Dracula guy.
Yeah, Garrett Headlin.
He's been in a lot of things.
The only thing I can say that I know guys are probably...
Yeah, Tron.
Okay.
Jeff Bridges
Yeah, well
I feel like they picked the right person for this one
Because he totally pulled it off
Um
Sam Ramey's company
Was attached to produce the movie
And the film was originally titled
The Bride
Which there's also many other films
titled The Bride
There's also many other films titled
The Invitation so I don't know what the fuck the difference is
But I know! I know
The fuck.
Let's maybe try a name of a movie that doesn't sound like a hundred other movies.
Let's go with that.
Dude, that is the problem.
God damn it.
All right.
The invitation.
Lance, spoiler-free.
What did you think about it?
Oh, I had fun.
I did not think I was going to like this movie.
But, okay, here's where we go to why Brian.
is our
dude that picks the movies
I don't know Brian
Did you know
I'm like
I'm trying not to give too much away
But Philip already said the V word
Did you really know
This was that close to the other movie
Brian?
I got that
Feeling from the trailer
Okay
Well
Whatever it is
I think you should know what that is
Yeah
I guess
But you fucking nailed
dude right down to the dragons dragon uh stone statues in the mansion
and the stairs being built exactly like they looked in brides of fric of dracula
i mean brides of frankestine that's something i want to watch that would be amazing dude but
all kidding aside dude all kidding aside this was a this was a fun movie to watch i
hate to say it,
that it's kind of like a guilty pleasure.
Is this movie going to be
on my top 10 of the year?
Absolutely not.
No. No, God, no.
No, it's been too great of a year,
but I enjoyed it.
I had fun.
Everybody loves watching
Natalie Emmanuel.
I mean, come on,
guys.
Let's get real.
It's fun just looking at her, man,
and especially,
although this was PG-13, which totally pissed me off.
They showed an ass of the big, kind of pretty-looking girl,
but not as hot as Natalie Manuel when they were getting their spa day.
Ladies, I'm sorry, but when I seen her,
especially standing next to everybody else that do Spigolo thing popped in my head.
That's a big bitch.
I couldn't tell if she was...
I couldn't tell if she was, like, way taller than everybody, if everybody was just super short.
She was wearing kiss.
Maybe she was wearing kiss shoes, right?
Like in the...
It wasn't big a little.
Wait, wait, what was...
Hold on.
It was the other...
Hot Chick.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Because I just watched that a few weeks ago, and I was like, man, if 2022 got a hold of this movie.
But what was
Des talking about last week?
Orphan First Kill, right?
Where he said that they built furniture
like this high
to make her look super small
and he said they were wearing kiss shoes, right?
The adults wore kiss shoes
to look that much taller than her.
It was kind of like that in this for me.
but I had fun
with this movie.
I kind of enjoyed it.
My daughter and I went to see it.
I'm going to tell you my history
with taking my daughter, Kristen,
to see movies with me, okay?
We're two for three now
because I like this one.
The first movie we saw together
was Pet Cemetery, the Remate.
Oh, Jesus.
The second movie we watched...
And she hated it like any normal person?
Yeah, but I love it.
it. Shut up
Philip. I'm talking right now.
The second movie we watched
together was The Boy
Two, which was...
Oh, no.
Oh, yeah.
And we watched this
together? I gotta be
honest, no, I say two for three
because I enjoyed this movie.
I had fun. I really did.
I enjoyed watching this movie.
I really did
have fun.
we knew what was going to happen
it was silly
but it was again
a guilty pleasure
what do you guys think
you want me to go
yeah go ahead
I'm curious
I can't say that I enjoyed it
as much as you did
this movie seemed like a fucking rom-com
for the first 45 minutes
of the movie
yeah there you go
she's just
you know lonely girl
looking for some connection
she does a DNA test and she finds her family and she's
just so
becomes all of a sudden.
She plays the bitch card more than once too, doesn't she?
Yeah, but she's also playing that
oh, I'm a klutz knocking stuff over.
Right.
So.
Well, I know, but like she plays the clets knocking stuff over
and then she's like, well, why the fuck are you getting mad at me about it?
I'm not, you know.
But in her defense, Philip, she did say, oh, it's my fault.
And then they were like, oh, that's the maid.
Shut the fuck up.
And it's the maid's fault.
Yeah, no, I mean, I get where they were going with that.
I got, on that, I got some shades of, what was that one with a, oh, God damn it.
What was that movie that we saw with the wedding and they played the games?
help me out here
oh ready or not
yeah ready or not
I got shades of ready or not here big time
really really a little bit
I wish I had gotten more shades
of ready or not
I yeah yeah uh oh I feel like that's what this
movie was supposed to be and it wasn't
well I told you
I told you guys I was going to like it
and you're going to hate it so go ahead
well I mean you're not lying there
um
it took too long to
set up what was happening and we already
knew what was going on.
We got it.
I think they could have
got to all the stuff after
we found out the big
twist.
Yeah. They could have got to that a lot
earlier in the movie and just got to
her trying to figure out her
situation how to get out of it a lot
sooner.
Yeah, that would have made more sense.
And I just kind of feel like
at the end when it was time for people to
get their come up and it just fucking was just blah and me okay they sort of tried to wrap it all up in
about two seconds yeah it's like yeah when we got to the when we got to the climax of the movie
i'm looking looking at the time and i'm like wow we're about to wrap everything up in this amount
of time right and that's nothing yep taken away from i thought the movie for the most part
look good.
Everybody did their thing.
The main guy, he definitely
looked like a fucking vampire,
because I swear all vampires need to be like
attractive people.
The main guy that played
Natalie Emmanuel's cousin, he played that
Smarmy fucking
just
I can't describe it, but I
was like this.
Salesy, I'm your friend.
The guy.
He kind of always had
that he was standing like this kind of just
right right always in your ear like complimenting you and you just know it's
not real and yeah I think everybody did their job I just think
it took too long to get to where needed to go and it it started boring me yeah I
get that I get it and then when we finally got to where it needed to go I was just like
is this it is this is what's happening because
kind of dropping the ball.
And like I said, there's no
knock at Natalie Emmanuel.
I think she's a good actress.
I've liked her ever since Game of Thrones.
Even in something like Fast and Farias,
I think she's fun watching in that.
And not just because she's beautiful.
I don't mean she's fun that way.
But she's a good actress.
And I think this movie didn't do her justice.
Yeah.
And it's hard to say it's,
It's hard to take your eyes away from her, to be honest, man.
I mean, she's pretty gorgeous.
And even with that stupid bullring piercing.
I think it was working for her.
No, it totally was working for her because she had a lot of other little,
like, tiny gold earring piercings that all look sort of similar and sort of matched.
And she looked pretty hot with it, man.
and like even almost on a professional level if she had wanted to.
I actually kind of enjoyed the movie up until the end of it.
And I think that they wrapped it up really fast.
And they took a weird turn.
I mean, it was something they had definitely hinted on some racial stuff early in the movie.
Oh, yeah, they do.
Which, of course, they have to do now.
which pisses off
but whatever
and then
boy they kind of leaned into it
they don't have to Philip
they don't have to I know
I just I wish they hadn't
done that because I think this
I think had that
had they not done that
this movie could have held its own
under its own two feet
and
uh
well and
and and and and and
played it like it was but they had to do
true the racial thing and that
Okay, but something tells me.
Yeah, Philip, I get it, but something tells me with or without that,
I'm probably going to give this movie a decent score, and you two guys aren't.
I'm just guessing.
Well, we'll see.
I mean, because I didn't hate it, because aside from that, you know, basic
plot of the movie.
Okay.
That I think that they were really pushing towards, except they hit it a whole lot better
than something like, you know, Black Christmas, where they were going for a substance plot.
Can we talk about something else?
I'm just saying, I think that they, I think that they did it better and at least they held it back somewhere.
It wasn't so stupid, oddness.
So that, that's got to count for something, right?
Yeah.
And aside from that, I actually kind of enjoyed it.
Cool.
Wow.
I'm shocked.
I thought so we're going to have.
I had some really creepy moments with the...
Oh, I love some of the jump scares, man.
Yeah, I kind of wish they had more.
Like, that scene...
Well, I guess we can't talk about it until spoilers.
Not quite yet, but we could...
Yeah, but I wish they had gone maybe a little further with the creepy stuff.
And...
Well, and it was...
The social justice stuff.
It was PG-13, and I wish it hadn't been.
I wish it had...
You know what?
The sexual stuff with the PG-13 was very tasteful,
and I thought they did a good job of it.
Because they still made her sexy as hell.
And they didn't show anything.
You know, just the curves in the neck gown, the arm over the boob, you know.
And it was, it was classy.
So I'll take that.
Nice, nice.
you all want to do scores and move on yeah let's do it all right lance seven on 10
I had fun yep right this is did not approve no one half out of 10 oh yeah yeah I had fun
I'm happy for you man yeah that doesn't happen very much you usually I'm the low man
I'm gonna go six and a half.
Like, had I skipped this movie, I wouldn't be mad, but
I'm also not mad that I went to go see it.
Like at first, I was like, I don't know what this movie is.
And I sat down in the theater and I'm like, man, fuck, I'm paying money for this.
And once it got going, I was like, you know what?
It wasn't bad.
I'm not mad that I bought it.
ticket to this movie.
Yeah.
I love seeing Brian be the
low man on the totem pole on
the scores, because that's usually
my part. So, spoilers, guys?
Spoilers,
Ryan? This is a motherfucking
spoiler alert. You've been
fucking warned. This is a
motherfucking spoiler alert.
You've been fucking warned.
This is a motherfucking spoiler alert.
You've been fucking warned.
I have to
jump to the end when it took an hour and a half to get to the climax.
And I can already tell they're doing the whole thing.
Does she accept his blood?
Because they need to drink each other's blood for the ceremony to be a complete.
I'm just like she's only going to drink his blood and get the powers to fight back.
Right.
And that's what she did.
Yeah.
And it was the fucking weakest fight ever.
Yeah, kind of saw it coming, huh?
Just like I knew.
The other two brides.
But I knew with the other two brides, I knew the little blonde one was going to help.
Right.
Because she was just getting treated like shit throughout the whole movie.
Because the other one was just an unrealistic asshole.
Yeah.
The tall one?
Yeah.
I don't, man, the tallness was kind of working.
Like that's not a real person.
Or shall we say a cunt?
Yeah.
No, she is like jerk to the level of only movies will show.
Yeah, it didn't make any...
That's not a real person.
It didn't make any sense because this lady, Natalie Emmanuel is going to be the next bride.
She's going to be with you for the next...
What did they say, the tall one was around for 500 years?
This is someone you're going to have to deal with.
Why are you creating?
You'd think she'd be a little fucking smarter.
Yeah.
Why create an enemy, instead of creating an enemy, why don't you try to kind of ease her into this decision, you know, make her family, make her feel wanted, welcome, you know, but instead you're fucking.
Well, she can't do that because she's the token racist.
Well, what the hell does that supposed to mean?
I didn't.
You saw her in that.
And then the whole, the whole reveal.
You didn't get that.
No.
You didn't get that.
She was the racist.
The tall chick?
Yes.
What?
It's fine.
The whole time she was being so condescending.
She was saying, she was saying.
Oh, but that wasn't necessarily race.
That was just somebody coming in from outside that was lower class.
She was saying things without saying things.
Okay.
Right. Okay. But y'all got something I didn't. She was the racist.
Okay.
Even the elder males kind of said something. Even, no matter of fact, Bill.
Well, that's what we're talking about. Those little fucking digs.
Even when she met the cousin for the first time.
Okay. Yeah.
He mentioned something about how she's related and there was a little kind of a little dig in there.
about how she was the family
mistake
oh no
a family mistake
yeah
whatever it was
you guys are killing me
I didn't even make a chance to that they
no they did it really well done
I thought it was more of a class thing than a race thing guys
I thought it was like I hold on hold on
it should be
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
But that's not what it is.
Because that's not what anything is.
Yeah, but I'm saying that I thought it was because she was like serving people as a caterer at a party.
And they were like super high end.
And she was like.
They didn't know that.
They didn't know that.
Okay.
But notice the servers and stuff that she had like a connection with.
Okay.
And everybody that she had a connection with that ended up being the victims of the whole thing.
and the ones that you really cared about.
Now, maybe, uh,
they white?
You know what?
Can,
maybe our listeners who've seen this movie can,
can chime in.
Uh,
dude,
I'm telling you.
Now,
no,
we had to be careful,
but,
no,
and I'm sure that they will.
I want to know what Darren has to say,
for example.
This is one of those,
this is one of those things that's probably going to get me in trouble,
but they obviously did it on purpose.
I don't think it well.
And,
and,
yeah,
no,
they totally did.
And they started it out.
slow at first, where it was just little, bitty, little things, little things, you know?
I mean, like the little things that were, oh, well, that's sort of racist, but I should just leave it alone.
Sure, sure.
Little things that people don't fucking say.
See, I did not catch that at all, guys.
I thought it was more of a class thing.
Like, you have been, you have these servants.
To be fair, it might have been a little.
By the end of it, that was the center of the whole fucking story.
To be fair.
And that's the only thing that I really didn't like about it.
To be fair, it might have been a little bit of both.
Yeah.
But they were leaning a little bit more to one thing.
Okay.
Okay.
Another thing I didn't like is we can tell what was going to happen with the vampire shit.
Right.
We, obviously this Walt fucking Lord Walt.
Walt Disney
Was the fucking
Head vampire
Yeah
And they took so
fucking long
Because I think when he had that turn
And became
This vampire
Mm-hmm
I think he was fucking great
I did too man
And they took
They took too fucking long
To get there
I know
Because when he played that
Charming character at first
And then he just had that switch
Mm-hmm
I think they should have got to that
That's what I was going to say.
I think he turned too fast.
Because he was like, oh, well, you agreed to marry me.
Isn't that amazing?
And then he's like,
ha, ha, bitch, you're stuck.
You know?
And it sort of came out of nowhere.
I think had they,
I mean, you don't want to make the movie longer,
but.
Longer than what it needed.
Another thing I liked about it.
It's something to lead him to that decision.
to where instead of just being like,
oh, well, you said when I needed you to,
so now I'm going to be a total dick.
Another thing I did like,
I liked the angle with the families.
We're all connected,
and that's how they're maintained their status
was he protected them.
If they offered,
yeah,
if they offered up their female bloodlines to him as brides.
I like that angle.
I thought that was really cool world building.
I thought it was pretty smart, smart writing.
I even liked that the village was involved because she ran to the village to get help and then they captured her.
And that old lady straight up said, don't fuck it up for the rest of us.
Okay, okay.
And you know who the old lady was?
Yeah, of course, Arker and all that.
That was, yeah, the original bride of Frankenstein, right?
But what did you guys?
Dracula.
I keep saying.
They're stuck on this bride of Frankenstein.
All right.
Nina and Jonathan Harkins, that was, that was Keanu Reeves.
Yeah, of course it was.
And did you guys notice the fountain in the middle of town was the same fountain from all the universal monster movies?
Oh, really?
It was in the center of town?
Of course.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
A lot of good callbacks here, man.
Yeah, see, that's why I had fun watching it.
They would have played more into the universal monsters.
aspect instead of... I just felt like
it was a fucking love story.
A girl looking for
family and love for like
75% of the movie.
Yeah, fair enough. And then they tried to...
Then they tried to... The last like 30 minutes, they tried
to just squeeze everything that I wanted to see
in at the end. I know.
Yeah. Yeah, they squished
everything at the end, right?
And then the... It was just
a weird, like,
starting point.
Right.
Like, hey, come to a family reunion and then she falls.
Well, I mean, it was the 23.
I know it wasn't a family reunion, family reunion, and they sort of had to explain that.
But like, for the first beginning of the movie, I was like, what the fuck?
Yeah, come to this other country and come to this wedding.
All right.
Stuck.
And then, and then can I say something about this?
stupid fucking after
credit, not after credit, but the last scene.
Because I'm like, okay, this
Oliver, cousin Oliver didn't get his comeuppance
and then we flashed it two weeks
later and I'm like, okay, they're going to get him.
Oh, yeah, that was silly. And they just show up
at his job and the plan is to kick his ass.
Yeah, I know. Okay. And the friend has that stupid
line about, oh, where did you
Natalie Emmanuel's like, where did you get that bat?
And she was like, isn't I ironic? A bat?
A vampire?
Ampar.
Hi.
So, you guys ready to move on?
Yeah, we'll end it next week.
Okay.
Yeah, y'all hated it, didn't you?
I didn't change my score at 04.
I hate to say it.
I hate to say it, but I had fun watching the movie.
No, I just didn't like the SJW shit, and that's the shit that's going to get, like,
when I say that I say dumb shit, this is what I.
I tell it like it is and then people get fucking mad.
I love watching Natalie Emanuel and we'll just leave it at that.
Oh, yes.
I think we all agree.
We all agree we like her.
One thing we can all agree on.
Okay.
So thanks for listening to another episode, The Hore Returns.
You know where to find us next week.
At last at last.
Or maybe not.
If Ness can't be here.
We're going to try to do Nez's Patreon picks.
Brian, do you know if he's going to make it?
You were the one that told me about it, so no, I do not.
All right.
If NAS does make it next week, guys, we're going to cover
Darling, Little Darling's, Clueless, and Mean Girls.
Nas fucking with us, big time.
You know what, though?
Clueless and Mean Girls are two of my favorite movies of all time.
Aye, aye, aye.
Hey, spoiler.
Amazing.
All right. So Brian, until the horror returns again, good night.
