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

And with me, as always, my co-host, Brian, Phillips got baseball shit going on. Naz is going to jump in, I believe, later when we get into the movies. but you know what, we somehow make it always work because we got a special guest tonight. And it's our number one man. It's our artiste. The guy that does basically everything Natsulani didn't do

many, many years ago. And it's Steve Carlton from the Geeks. Formerly the League of Geeks, and I understand you guys are changing the name to the Geesers at some point. So what's to deal with all that, man? We're just getting old, man. We're just getting, it's time to be the geezers.

It took me like 20 minutes to get up this morning. My back was out. It was all bad. My wife had to get out the big massager, you know, just like, oh, it's the worst. Was that a massager or a... It was a massager lens. Massager. It was a massager.

Okay. No, we're, thanks for having me back, guys. Thanks for having me. I appreciate being here with you. Well, this show is your idea. Well, see, here's the thing. I was making a joke. And then it kind of like took on a whole different thing.

We're building this whole thing on a joke then, huh? Yes. Well, if you go back to the tape, if you go back to the original comment, I literally said the first one was good, everything else was shit. But here we are. Spoiler alert. So before we get started, Steve, and I do want to ask what you guys are up to over there. But Brian, real quick.

So our last episode was, covered a couple of Evil Dead movies. It was infamous for going over two and a half hours. But you said there was a shitload more we should and could have covered, correct? That's how much shit we missed out on and our talk about Evil Dead rise. We didn't even talk about the final form of the dead. We got so much shit. Can we do a one-off show?

I mean, 30 minutes or something like that at least? Yeah, we can do like maybe like just let her. know it's a straight spoiler episode. Okay. Sounds like a plan. Steve, you haven't seen it yet. No, not yet. I want to.

I've been, I have not had time to get to the theater lately. I still haven't seen Mario Brothers. I know, I know your boys have. Just, uh, just crossed over a billion dollars worldwide. Wow. I do.

I do it was gonna. Like, I said that when the first trailer came out. I was like, oh my God, I was going to make all the money. So, so what do you guys think? the next movie is going to be Donkey Kong country or just Donkey Kong or any ideas? It would be interesting to see which direction they took it. If they were just going to stay with the Mario Brother stuff and, I mean, Donkey Kong works there. Or if they're going to branch out, you know, like, I've always wanted to see something done with Zelda.

You know, they can do a lot. Gotcha. Well, Mario Kart would have to be their Avengers movie, right? Like, once you've had a whole bunch of origin stories. No, it's just the Mario card. Okay. Okay. What were you getting to say, Brian?

I'm sorry. I was going to say, I can't really speak on it. I've been kind of avoiding hearing anything about it because I haven't seen it yet. Same here. Yeah. I kind of don't want to, I don't want to get one of those dubbed versions that you can go out there and steal. I'd rather see it at the theater. I mean, if you really want it to do, it is out there.

It's not a bad copy. I'm just saying it. Is it a good copy? Okay. But is it in English? That's the question. Yeah, I think there might be subtitles, though, that aren't English. That's all right.

That's all right. All right, so what do you guys got going on over there at the geeks, man? What's coming up? You know, not a lot. We're going to start in the next couple weeks, recording our 31 days. We start early. Oh, yes, you do. Because we have to start cranking them out.

Otherwise, we're going to learn. We hate getting them into October and needing, like, 12 more. and you only got some, you know, we only record once a week. So we got to start early, so we're going to start working on those. But really, that's the only new thing. And then obviously setting up the big debate, the Geeks Court. The big debate. What are you talking about?

Yeah, between you and Sean. Star Trek versus Star Wars. The big debate. We got to pull in. What was that movie, guys? Help me out here, where they had the statue. of this is weird, work drive was invented

and then the Star Wars geeks fight with Star Trek geeks Oh, uh, fanboys Oh, that was fan boys. That was the main tricky. We got to pull that out, man. If Universal sees us and makes us take it down, we're fucked, but we got at least trying, you know.

Oh, I'm planning on getting, I'm stealing the people's court theme for it and everything, so we're, someone's going to try to see us. They're not going to get nothing. but all right man but we're good i've been uh like i said i unfortunately it it it breaks my heart man that i saturday night is tough for me i think that's when y'all normally uh do the live show i'd

love to join in one time but family family matters dude family matters that are always taking up my time but i i never miss an episode always listening you guys on the audio stream during me we we hear about it with our families saturday night i was like well right you know but uh No, but we can always work out something. We don't mind recording off days. You know, we have guests. I think when you helped us with 31 days last year,

and Lance, we recorded on like a Wednesday or a Thursday, you know, just to knock it out. So we will work something out. All right. We'll make it happen, man. Appreciate you being here. Call your people figure out.

That's it. All right, dude. You know how the show works, man. And you are obviously our guest of honors. So, What's thou wish to start and have the honor of giving us your cool of the week? Cool of the week. So I've been unbelievably busy.

I haven't had time to watch much or play much lately. I watched the corn movies for this week for you guys. But honestly, the only thing I've been doing is building the room that I'm sitting in while we're recording, which you guys can see. Very nice. I've been working on this room for about a month. I've converted part of my garage into its own room. I had to run all new electrical data for the internet and stuff. Drywall, the whole, everything, insulated.

You know, this was all once part of the garage. Now it's an insulated drywall, electric rooms. And building these VHS. So if anybody out there doesn't know, I'm a huge VHS collector. I've had to cull down. Just in building this room, I think I've culled out about 300 tapes that I'm just going to go take and see what I can get for. They're mostly duplicates.

And then I got a huge lot from an estate sale. And I had a bunch of bullshit. Those are always good. Man, I love it when somebody dies. I was, I was, that's one way to look at it.

Well, like, I was, I was picking and choosing through the VHSs, and the lady was like, 10 bucks, and you could take them all. And I was like,

fuck it. And it was like six boxes, six huge boxes full. And there was some gems in there. That's where I got, Dream Warriors was in there. The original child's play was in there. So like I got some...

But like, my factory sealed critters was in there. So like I got some real good ones. But there was also a bunch of bullshit too. Like a whole bunch of stuff that I, you know, a lot of like actually like, like, like shit that they taped off of like TV and stuff like that. You know, it just all mixed. I used to do that all the time, dude. HBO, like you start the press the play and the record button together.

And then I do a lot of thrifting. I go at thrift store. I go hit up a lot of thrift stores. Every time you go, it's like 10 tapes for a dollar. One of the stores I go to is like 15 tapes for a dollar. And it's like, if I can find some cool shit, then I'm going to get it, you know. But that's how you wind up with duplicates because you end up with so many that you don't remember. I'm like, do I have this?

I don't know. This is a good box. I'll take it home. And then I get home and I'll like try and figure out, well, this box is better, but this tape's in better shape. So I'll swap and I'll throw that one out. you know so right right right right and i ran into that problem when we're scheduling the shows we're like have we have we reviewed this or before yep yeah i know once you get several years in it becomes harder and harder remember what you've done but um the whole goal of this room was to

recreate the feel of a video store so i had to design and figure out how to implement the shelves that would allow the tapes to face forward and also lean back a little bit and take up the least amount of space because the room out here is only like 12 feet wide so right so I needed to create his least amount of stuff aligning the walls so that was fun that's actually two by fours and ceiling ceiling tile grid and it's fucking works great so yeah I'd say mission accomplished man so and not only that but I was able I got this like really cool 90s style entertainment center back there are those the power Rangers mask back there I Yeah, I have a whole bunch of helmets.

I got a whole bunch of Power Ranger helmets. But, like, there's just tapes everywhere. I got two CRT TVs over there. I have three VCRs. I have multiple tapes going all the time. It's just a cool little spot. And when they screw us in the summer and turn off our electric, this whole building powers off a generator,

and we can come out here and watch tapes all day. Very nice. So, cool. It's a pretty cool little setup. So this room would be. the cool of the week. A month ago, this was dirty in a spot where tools were, and now it's a space for me to record and have all my

collectibles and my little video store nostalgia moment. Nice. That's amazing. You want to jump in, Brian? Yeah, let me run through my list real quick. I guess I'll start with Tooby, because, you know, Tooby's starting to release original content. Right? Some good, some bad, right? these are actually two of them better which is not saying much because it's too

me but Lance I actually want you to check out this one Dead hot dead hot dead hot okay it has a what's her name Vanessa Hudgens Vanessa Hudgens it's basically like a documentary like she's going to the reason I want you to check it out because you've been to Salem Yes. And her and her friend, I'm not familiar with the other girl with her. They're doing like a documentary where they're going to Salem

and going to all the different sites and talking about the Salem witch trials. And they're doing like ghost hunting. I guess Vanessa Hudgens is into all that kind of stuff. And I just, I remember you talking about you, you had a trip there. Yeah, met up with Pedro there. We literally got locked into a haunted house. They shut the door on us and wouldn't let us out. Had a good time in Salem, man.

Yeah. If you're into the ghost hunting type stuff, I mean, check it out. I mean, Vanessa Hudgens looking hot. Yeah, she's easy on the eyes, too. Yeah, trying to talk to ghosts and learn about Salem witches and playing with Ouija boards. And it's pretty much it with that movie. This next one,

I've been hearing a lot of people saying it's like a future cult classic. Okay. And it's called Barry the X or Barry the Bride. I think it's one of those titles. Barry the Bride. Barry the Bride. I've heard of that one. It's by a director named Spider-1.

and I had heard that name before and I kind of looked him up on I and D.B. He had another movie come out last year from on Shudder called Allegoria, allegoria or something like that. Okay. Allergoria, I can't recommend. Not so much.

Allegoria is basically like all these different kind of artists. Their stories are intertwined. And like, you know, there's a painter. there's a musician like whatever art they have like some kind of creature or something or something comes through their art and basically attacks them or something something like that it was okay it was super boring nothing really happened yeah nobody's not as venza hudgeon's in it huh yeah so with that i was a little leery about going into bury the bride but it was actually pretty decent um i can't really tell you what it was about

because I didn't see anything about it and I kind of it helped out with the viewing experience going in like that. Okay. It does star

Scout Taylor Compton. Well, she's pretty hot in her own right. Yeah. The basic setup is she's going on a bachelor party with her friends.

They're going to the guy she's about to married to like little house in the country. They've never met him. And then he, at the Bachelorette party, shows up with the group of his friends

and things kind of go south after that. And that's all I can tell you about that. And that's on Tooby also? Yep. That and Dead Hot are both To Be originals. Okay. Well, to be fair, they don't sound

horrible. He's just taking money out of our Patriots. Sending it over there, aren't you? Yep. Just taking it right out of our Patreon, sending it over to Super Network, man. Yeah. Next one, I went to Shutter to check out in Shutter original

original-ish, I think, is one of those movies. They just kind of picked up and slapped a name on there. Okay. It's called From Black. Have you guys seen a movie called Dark Song? No.

sounds familiar. The title does. Basic premise is the ladies lost their child, lost her child and she meets someone that basically, if we do this ritual and you follow all the rules, you'll get to see

your child again. That's basically from black. Interesting. Okay. Okay. That sounds kind of cool. Yeah, it's a cool premise, but like I said, the dark song did it better. Dark Song to me was more creepier, but it was in the March Madness bracket. Okay.

So it's in that elevated horror category, I guess. Makes sense, yeah. From Black is fine. Same premise. Don't really recognize any of the actors, actresses or anything in there. It's a shot pretty good. So I was up super early this morning, threw it on. It was one of those movies.

Did you have a green morning? I don't, I don't keep a green anymore. Oh, shit. Wow. I had to cut it out. Well, we'll talk about all that after the show. Green evening. My cool week would have to be, I've been watching it throughout the week.

There's no way I can get through all of these. in one sitting and that's in the search of darkness, the 80s horror documentary. Yes, yes. 100% recommend all three. They do get longer as each volume gets because the third one is almost like

over five hours long. Holy shit, dude. Yeah, that's hard to sit there. But it is, if you love 80s horror films, the third one might be my favorite because they talk about like the obscure horror titles.

you never heard of or the ones that you have heard of and you kind of were in the first two volumes you kind of like how come you didn't talk about these and they talk about them in the third one so any uh like charles band stuff or yeah they talk of they land see even talk about that horrible movie we did uh remember we did uh troll things things that can do you vaguely i'm trying to forget that one there's only so much there's only so much space you gotta You got to save the space for the good movies. Yeah, no, I think things.

You can't. What's that one that had like $120 budget or something like that? That would be things. You can't unsee things. Oh, man. They dive deep, man. Yeah, they do. And they have a who's who of guests come on from actresses to directors to

podcasters, YouTuber, you know, just people that love 80s horror. And like, I recommend. all three. They're all on shutter or AMC Plus, so nice. All right, yeah, I've thought about getting into it, but man, it's, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is time

sensitive for sure. Take, take, take you while to get through that. You can actually, like, if you're at work and you want to throw something in the background. Okay. Have you, Brian, have you seen any of the new season of from yet? No. I'm, I'm waiting for it to, get fully released because I'm not paying for MGM.

I know, I don't want to, but I watched all the season one on Amazon Prime. So good. Gosh. I've got it. I've got it. I've got it. I should watch it. That's the one with the dude from Lost in it, right?

Dude, that show is so fucking gory. It is unbelievable. You got MGM plus? I do. I do, I do pay for everything. Well, let me put the team to say, my brother. My brother has MGM plus, which pretty much means I have MGM plus.

Oh, okay. You got the link. That's my name. That from show was something else, man. Yeah, so I can actually get caught up then, Steve. And I think that was just started. That was my big thing a couple weeks ago is because Amazon owns MGM and you can watch the first season fucking on Amazon Prime. Yes.

Yeah, they wanted nickel and dime you. They want to get you to do a whole other service. You got to fucking buy all of them. I get it. It's a racket, just like cable. And I feel like I feel like when they get to the Pultergeist and Robocop,

like they're going to make like movies and series out of all these properties they got. I feel like they're going to throw them on MGM Plus. I'm sure they will. And I've noticed, too, a lot of movies that you watch on Amazon Prime. You'll get that MGM Plus little thing in the beginning, the little visual cue there.

MGM plus logo. And I'm like, what the fuck is this? I don't know. But it's just because they like pick and choose and they pepper it in. And they're like, oh, look, don't you like this show from? I'm like, yeah, it's fucking great. I know, man. Don't you like it so much you want to pay for MVM Plus?

It's like, no, I don't. It's like, Steve, I think you guys talked about it, how now they're showing like Showtime stuff on Paramount. Yeah, well, they show it to you, but it's like, there's a little lock symbol. I'm like, yeah, fuckers. Yeah, like, because I don't have Showtime, but I have Paramount. So, like, I'll watch Paramount. and there's like I'll see a movie and I'm like oh man I wanted to see that and I'll go down and it's got the little lock on because it's for show time only I'm like yeah now they're trying to they're trying to get you in because uh will lower your paramount plus

but really right if you get showtime which which is which is fine I guess but I just had the regular ass like five dollar one you know with ads for Paramount Plus but like all it does when I see that little lock symbol is I just go find it then I'm like oh you you think you got me huh I'm going to go pirate it. I forgot I wanted to see that movie. Let me just look it up. Oh, now it's playing on my phone two seconds later. Yeah. I don't know.

It's 2023. Come on, guys. Right. Yeah, I haven't got to from season two yet. I'm just, I'm waiting for the season to be done. And then, uh. It ends on a fucking, what, I'm like, oh, no. Oh, it's a cliffhanger, cliffhanger ending.

But it's, it's really good. It's like, I would say it's kind of, like the way it sets stuff up I would call it like the lost of horror yeah okay I'm gonna tell you this I saw the first two episodes of it and it reminded me of it it felt very Stephen Kingish

it definitely has elements yeah it's it's they just there's so many layers you know okay I think like it's like ogres and onions huh yeah yeah every time they're like I think I kind of know what's going on here the angel

this thing and you're like oh well fuck I don't know what that And what's going on at all then? I mean, as long as they wrap it up like Servant did, where they wrapped up all the open-ended shit and Lost didn't necessarily, then I'm good. So, I'll start checking it out. Are you still watching Lost? I know you were starting it.

Brian's Lost. It's on the back burner now. God, I loved that show. That last season. Gotcha. There's too much I try to watch to, to talk about on here to just kind of let people know what's out. That's the main reason I do it, and I just kind of gets lost in the shuffle.

I was trying. Yeah. I watched that new show about the chimps on Netflix. Chimpy. Huh? No, it's like a four-episode documentary series hosted by Mahershala Ali. I've never heard of that. Chimp Empire.

Yo, I put it on to go to sleep because I'm like, National geographic type shit. Yeah, yeah, that's what I thought. Like, oh, it would be like, you know, kind of like just some nature documentary I can fall asleep to you. Yeah, that shit's like Game of Thrones with chimp. With monkeys. Bro, they name them all. There's like hierarchies.

You see him being like friends that one of them gets killed by this other group of chimps. And you're like, oh, no, fuck those chimps. But then it like does a flashback and shows you those chimps. And you're like, well, I'm kind of on their side now, too, because those other chimps fuck them over to begin with. And I'm like, there's just characters. there's like intrigue and there's like backstabbing and there's like holy crap it is awesome you guys have me adding all kinds of shit to my cue what's it called chimp empire empire it's four episodes are like 40 minutes long that it's great that's not too bad all right i'm adding

it right now oh real quick uh looking through my instagram i did watch clerks three I didn't Dude I was kind of just sad as shit I was disappointed man it was too serious I want to see it but now I'm like No I don't know It's it's sad And everybody's like

Old and it makes it even like Sadder I mean life Life happens guys It's hitting me hard When I'm like damn Everything everyone's old now I couldn't stop looking at Jay's.

Looks like he has veneers now. I saw her own. I saw it, Super skinny. I saw Jane Silent Bob strike back in the theater. Yeah, I did it too. Oh, well,

we all age, boys. We all age. Yes, we do. You guys will catch up to me eventually. Is that it? Yeah. I wanted to ask you, Lance. I know one of the last

times I was on, I mentioned that I watched a movie called American Carnage. Yeah. Yeah. I heard that you watched it, but I didn't, I didn't remember you, like, saying much about it. So, like, but I thought it was fucking, like, really, really cool. So it was like, like, it just kind of came out of nowhere. It was an original idea, very satirical. Like, like, I was saying, like, robocop-level satire in the beginning.

Like, it was really good. Yep. I'm a big fan, man. I definitely enjoyed that one. Cool. Definitely enjoyed American. Carnage. Did you, did you see it, Brian? No, I haven't.

I've seen it pop up on, I think, like Hulu or something. It's on Hulu, yeah. Yeah. It's worth to watch, dude. If you're subscribing anyway, check it out. It's funny. It's like a throwback. It's just really good. Right. All right. My Cool of the Week was something that I never thought that I would be saying that this is a cool of the week. because it, I don't know, it didn't, it did not grab me when I saw it first show up on Netflix. And I was kind of like, man, this, I'm reading about the description.

I'm like, I don't really think I'm going to get into this. And I don't think I want to sit through 10 full episodes of yet another series. Because I don't know if you guys are like me where like, sometimes you're like browsing through Netflix. And you're like, oh, that looks cool. And then it says series. And you're like, oh, fucking a 10 hours time. God, damn it, dude. Really?

but I don't know man this one just my wife and I started watching it and we binged all 10 episodes in one night wow and this was just I can't say enough good things about beef yeah on Netflix amazing show it's yeah

you guys all told me to watch it Nez told me to watch it are you in yet Steve? I haven't started it yet we've been tinkering on it we're waiting for Barry to get a little bit further they're in. We have some stuff. I heard Barry's good. I heard Barry's good.

Um, yeah, but no, dude, this is just amazing. It's like it should not be as good as it is. It's just incredible when you start getting like three or four episodes deep and they're just like starting to go into people's backstories and you go into these off episodes about family members and the bullshit they got going on their lives. And, you know, it all starts with somebody honking at someone and flipping them off and then the other person chasing them down trying to fuck with them. and it ends up with like an episode that the 10th episode is something I don't think I've ever seen before in my life and I'm just blown away by how good this show is so wow you know mostly it's Ali Wong I'm just like I can only take Ali Wong and small doses so I'm like Is that? Does that you got to give it a shot man? Ali yeah it's Ali Wong Al Wong but like like I think one I think when I was when I was talking about for my cool away. I think I said Al Leong.

I think he could. Close enough. Close enough. But he's that, that stunt guy with the, with the long beard that's in like big trouble in Little China. Oh, yeah. He's not, he's not in the show. Not the same person.

No, he was in everything everywhere all at once. Yes. Yes. Indeed. Indeed. That was a fantastic movie. But, uh, No, I want to see beef, but because I've heard, you know, it's, Ali Wong for me is just like she has a specific style of comedy that when it works, it's really good, but like, it gets grading. So I was just like a little wary, but I've heard nothing but good things.

You know what? It's a very, very serious performance from her. She does, yeah, thank you, Brian. You just nailed it. She does not overdo the comedy. Okay. So I think you'll be okay with it. And Stephen, Stephen, Stan, is that his name?

Glenn? I call him Glenn. That dude can act, man. That dude can fucking act, man. Everything I've seen him in, he's been good. I said the same thing. After watching him, a beef, I was just like, why is he not in more thing? I mean, he probably is, but definitely, like, his performance.

And what's the guy? David Choi, that plays his cousin. Oh, God. Yeah. he's a trip. He's kind of the comedy relief, but he's also like a piece of shit. Well, I got so many breaking bad

vibes from this shit. Like they're always trying to pull off heist and shit like that, but you've got idiots trying to pull off the heist that are like always getting caught and shit. The one comedian, Andrew Santino. Okay.

Who does he play, Brian? The Redhead guy, one of the little lackeys. Oh, God. Or is they called him the ginger? Yeah. They too call them. Yes.

We do have souls. I'll tell you right now, man. Beef is a must watch, Steve. I'll check it out. Yeah, anybody listening if you haven't watched it yet, you've got to do it. But I will say this. Anytime that can beat out an Arioster movie for my cool of the week, You know it's good because, Brian, you know that Hereditary was my favorite film of the year that it came out.

Mid-Somar was my number one, the year it came out. Bo was afraid, I don't know, man. It just wasn't quite, it didn't hook me in the way that the other two did because it wasn't like a straight-ass, straight-ahead story. It was very allegorical. like a lot of it was I mean let's all let's face it Joaquin Phoenix obviously he's the new Joker so he's kind of

the new face of you know what do they call it unreliable narrative like is it really happening or is it just in his brain type stuff so the entire movie his actual life or well his actual life but

this this film in particular dude it's very very hard to tell what's really happening and it's really not horror at all. It's totally just like comedy. I just couldn't get into when we reviewed the trailer. I was just like with the other movies, I wasn't quite sure what the movies were initially about, but I got, I had some clue. Like every trailer TV spot of

Bowes Afraid or Bowes Afraid. I just, the fuck is this movie about. The wool has finally been lifted. The pretentiousness of the man has finally been put on display. Work for me. audience work for me. You'll understand the movie if you work for it. And then you put the movie out the same day as Evil Dead Rise. I'm like, no, I'm not going to watch that first. Not to give too much away, but there is a scene where he goes into the attic

and he has to do battle with a life-sized penis. With a penis with balls. I think I'm all right, you know, I don't. I think I'm okay on that. But I will say this. Like I said before we started recording, Lance, you're not selling me on it. I will, hey, I will, I will say this. I will say this.

It's worth of watch though, Brian. The movie, no, the movie does have a lot to say about where we are right now, like, as far as people's dependence on prescription drugs. There's a lot of, there's a lot of how kids act now, and they're all, like, you know, how all the kids are, like, super, super insecure now. and suicidal and they don't know what they want in life. And yeah, there's a lot of that in it. And there's a lot of... Again, they're not selling me on it. There's a lot of...

Have you ever seen Pink Floyd the Wall? No. Okay. I almost sure I haven't because it sounds like something I probably would remember. He definitely rips off some shit from Pink Floyd the Wall. There's no doubt. There's some scenes that are basically right out of that movie. So...

Bo is afraid not my cool of the week. I was hoping it would be, considering it's Arioster. But maybe you're right, Steve. Maybe he's gone just a little too far into that, spelling his own fart territory. It's like Wes Anderson, like the first time you're like, yes, this is all right. And then, hey.

Hi, that's another guy. He just doesn't fucking stop. That's another guy I can't get into his movies either. Really? A lot of one. That's not for me. I watched a few of them that people are like, no, watch this.

and you'll get it. And then I watch it and I don't get it. Yeah. I will tell you this. I have Matt Wes Anderson, because I went to an Ian Anderson concert in Austin. He enjoys craft beer, doesn't he? Probably, yes.

But I basically, I saw him in the lobby, and he was ordering, I think, some craft beer, as a matter of fact. A nice double IPA. I didn't want to find. with him, I just kind of went like that and he goes it's like, I know who you are, but I'm not going to fuck with you.

Did his head get, did his neck, like ascot getting away of his chin? He's fucking well he's nodding at you. Please tell me he had an ass guy. It seems like that would have a right or a scarf or something, you know? I don't remember an ascot, but I

I definitely remember. Texas in August. He's wearing a scarf. Yes, I definitely remember the scarf. I definitely saw a scarf. So, yeah, cool of the week is definitely beef. I haven't checked it out.

Steve, you need to, man. It's worth it. Like I said, it's on the list. Well, dude, we, we binged 10 episodes in one night. So it's just one of those things you can't stop watching. I haven't done that since. my wife showed me the bear on, I think it was on Hulu. Okay.

Showed that dude that has like the, he has like, oh, yeah, yeah, the sandwich shop that he takes over. He was like a big time chef. Yeah, and then he goes at this like small town kitchen because his brother died and left him the restaurant. Five minutes in, I was like, I have to watch all. I have to watch all of there right now and finish in one night. Yeah, I, I, with beef, I think by the time, the first.

the way the first episode ended with beef, I was like, I need to keep watching. And the episodes vary from like 30-something minutes to like 45 minutes. Yeah, it's not too long. Kind of like the bear. The bear is the same way, right? Like half-hour episodes pretty much, 35 minutes maybe. Yeah, they vary, but yeah, it's about 30. Yeah, I'm pretty sure season two is.

coming out within the next couple of months, so I don't think we have too long to wait on that one. But yeah, when you said the bear, when you think of a movie, a TV show called The Bear, the first thing you think about isn't necessarily a restaurant, right? I think it might be something a little bit different. My wife's like, yeah, you want to watch to show the bear?

I'm like, what's it about? Because I don't know the answer to that question. All right, guys, that's cool of the week. Brian, do we have any horror headlines to talk about? We got a few start with. Would you guys like to see Bill Hader direct horror movies? Sure.

Yeah. Why not? Comedians seem to be knocking it out of the park. No doubt, man. Apparently, he has two scripts. I think it was two scripts that he has written. He hasn't said what they're about, but he is shopping them around now that,

Barry is apparently coming to an end. He wants to get behind the camera and do some directing. And I'm not sure if both scripts were horror, but the main one he was kind of excited about is he says it's a brand new horror movie, brand new concept, not anything, at least according to him, that's been done before.

Okay. Well, that's what it needs. Some original shit, man. And he hung out, you know, with a chagetti over there doing the ItFix and... Did he? Oh, yeah, that's right. He was in... Richie, I think.

Was he Richie? Yeah. The second movie, right? Mm-hmm. No trailer Palooza this week? I wanted to. Because Al-Lill's fucking all tired because his daughter's in his rowing competition thing. It's like, I can be...

I can't really be mad at him for it. And he's like, he's got to get up super early. But like, I'm like, every fucking time they release a flash trailer, you don't want to talk about it. If it's a Marvel trailer, we're going to record a whole ass room. Any DC trailer, we'll skip it. Yeah, I could tell you can always tell Alive's bias because the episode where you guys talked about the Miss Marvel trailer, everybody was like, let's talk about this trailer. And a little in the background was just like, Miss Marvel.

Then you and Sean was like, oh, how about the, how about the, um, the new such-and-such-and-such trailer and then you just hear them in the background of Miss Marvel or the Marvels. And then we got to it and I was like, yeah, it looks like shit. I don't want to watch it. Right. Is it that bad? Well, I wasn't a big fan

of the Captain Marvel. So moving into this one. But I did like Miss Marvel. I did too. On Disney Plus. I thought that was the better shows. And I didn't mind Monica Rambo in, what's that?

Wanda Vision. She was one of the highlights of that show. And it's not even necessarily Brey Larson. I like Brie Larson and other things. I just don't like Carol Danvers. I think she's terrible. I don't like her attitude. I don't like her.

I'm fucking better than you. Like she walks on a fucking set of, she walks onto the set of infinity where like she's done something. It's like, get the fuck out of here. Dude, she does have some fucking amazing powers. I mean, come on. Yeah, O.P.

Overpower. Ah, all right. Well, I mean, you got Superman. You got Superman of the D.C. universe and you put up with him, so come on. He is super OP too. He can do everything. Right. All right.

Let's see. Would you guys like to see Viola Davis in a action-pack train to Busan-style zombie movie? I don't think so. She wants to do one. But I guess, like, the thing is, like, I'm kind of over the zombie thing. Right. I'm just not waiting for, I mean, I guess if they could do something new, but what else new can you do?

But then again, like, you know, the last of us. The sadness was new in that movie. Fucking rocked, right? It was rad. The next big thing that's coming out that I can think of is, Not new is the train to Busan American remake, Last Train to New York. Yeah, so why do we need also a Viola Davis one? I don't get it. Because she wants to do it, Lance.

But it's last train style, so is it going to be like on a subway? Is she going to be on an Amtrak? Is she going to be, or is it going to be different? It's going to be like ride chair zombies. You're throwing out a lot of ideas here. Uber zombies. I mean, they've got to have some way to incorporate them, right?

You know, like, I don't want this right. Fuck that, you know. Yeah. I saw you post that, Brian, and I was like, what the fuck? Are we talking about here? But, I don't know. I'm trying to Bezon did it perfectly.

I just hate seeing all these American people fuck with it. I loved it the way it was. It was pretty much. Yeah, training to Bisson was awesome. I'm trying to think. The only thing I, reason why I was excited for the remake, who's the Timo Tejanto? okay he did the VHS segments

yeah the one with the cult and everything yeah and he did the night comes for you violent bloody action movie on Netflix so I had a I had a new podcast listener that I work with bring that to my attention he said hey man you guys need to cover this director more

and I told him well hey man you need to become a Patreon, patron, and then you can pay out 30 movies and we'll cover him. So we'll see what happens. You work with them. Send it when you get paid. Give me that dollar. I'll be standing right next to. We can go talk to the payroll department right now. We can do automatic deduction.

There you go. That's what I'm thinking, man. That's what I'm thinking. All right. Sigourney Weaver says, direct quote, the ship has sailed on her playing Ripley again. Okay. Well, she gave us some great years.

we can't complain. Yeah. I mean, what else? What was the last one? She was in Resurrection, right? Yeah, I think she kind of wanted to write that one. That one wasn't very good anyway.

And even three. And she was, she was 100% down with the Neil Blomkamp one. But Ridley Scott shut that down. Did you see the, the concept art for that? With like, freaking, what's his name? Hicks was back? Kyle Rees

What the fuck is that The dude from District 9 Or whatever Michael Bean Yeah no Not Charles de Copley But Michael Bean Was back in his half his face was melted

And it was supposed to be like A direct sequel to two They were gonna forget That three happened I was like yes Yeah Newt would have been a little bit older Yeah Newt was gonna be alive still

I'm like oh so you know Not fucking the whole fandom Like you did back when three came out Right And then they decided not to do it. That sucks because the concept art was awesome. No alien blood Ripley or bald Ripley, just rip it.

But with that news came with Feday-A-Avarez posting on Alien Day that his alien movie has officially started filming. And I am ready for that. You guys were talking about Evil Dead. Fedi Averaz did the Evil Dead from, was 2013? Right. Uh-huh. Love that moment.

movie. Yeah. I think we all like to do. I remember watching that movie in the theater when she starts

fucking chainsawing Homeboy at the end and it's just 30 seconds of only blood everywhere. I was like this is great.

This is the fucking best. We definitely needed another one-off Evil Dead show Brian. It's in

our near future. I'm so going to put it out. And maybe we can get Bruce Campbell back to talk to us.

I can watch the first two and Army of Darkness on VHS. Let's see. La Pita Nyango is going to star in a quiet place day one. I don't know why I put that on there because the movie's already done filming.

What did you guys think of the sequel? I still haven't seen it. I love the first one. I liked it. I liked it. I kind of came into it not knowing if I was going to like it with not having John Cresensky in it. But I think Emily Blunt did a great job. The kids, they're a little bit older. They did a little bit better job. The son wasn't as pusified as he was in the first one.

Well, all things considered. Yeah. That's a terrifying existence. My only problem was you do get flashbacks, but they kind of really don't mean anything as far as why everything happening. Maybe with day one, it'll be, it'll help flesh that out more. Yeah, it's supposed to be a prequel.

And I think, if I'm reading here correctly, it's set in New York. I think that's where, I read it correctly, that's where the first event happened when the, when the aliens came. That first one, that was, that was a good theater-going experience. Like, it was one of those times where I was terrified because I have, you know, my Rose Gallery, Brian. Yeah. The theater going experience is a treacherous thing.

I share them as well. But that was the one time, like the theater was really quiet. Like, nobody wanted to make any noise. Like, everyone, this one lady did come clogging in there with some fucking heels or something on. At one point, it was like the whole theater was angry. But everyone did a pretty good job of staying quiet through that. I think maybe that's why I haven't jumped on to Quiet Place Part 2 because I feel like I missed out on that theater experience. It's a worthy sequel.

It's just there's a couple. I don't think it's as good as the first one. And I agree. I don't think my experience was as good as the first one in the theater. Because it felt like everybody knew what to do with that first movie, which was shut the fuck up. In other words, shut the fuck up. Because even people eating popcorn was trying to eat it as quietly as possible. People would be taking two minutes to open a rapper because they're just barely moving it.

What's the worst Theater experience you've had? Halloween 2018 Yeah I'm a bitch, mine too That movie Somebody was smoking Not green

Like a cigar or something I had a group of A black and mild No It was a cigarette This is unbelievable I had a group of 15

kids that were together sit in the row right in front of me and they turned their ringers off but they were texting each other and the lights were flashing off their phones. And every time something that they thought was going to be scary that was

going to happen like the girls would try to run out to the hallway real quick and scream and giggle and run all through the hallway. Worst. Worse. Ouch. Halloween 2018. I'm sitting in theater. I got my Diet Coke and my popcorn. my M&M's like a good little boy

and in comes this dude with uh he's wearing a fucking sleeveless shirt with a backpack and he comes in on a skateboard drinking a beer I know that guy right in front of the like fuck

and then of course you know the whole movie he's fucking clickety clack clickety clack with his skateboard and fucking moving it on the floor and back and forth and he's talking and he's and at one point he gets that this is why I said this is unbelievable Well, he gets up, you know the side door where you exit? Yeah. He goes and he's going towards that.

And I'm like, oh, thank God he's going to fucking leave. He opens the door, stands in the doorway, it lights a cigarette. Oh, man. And I start smoking in the doorway watching the movie. And I'm like, what the fuck is going on? See, I thought you were going to say he let his homeboys in. I would have appreciated that more because at least he went to the exit door. I mean, it did show some sort of, you know.

Yeah. Some sort of manners No We listening to you throughout the years We do share the same rogues Fucking blanket people Cut it out I mean I guess it might be different in Alaska

It's cold up there So Blanket people were a thing All right So let's see The Pope's Exorcist Sequals in Development Oh, come on.

I heard it's not that bad, and if it's getting a sequel, then... What if Russell Cole really nails the Italian accent? Like, what if he really nails it? Better than whatever accent he was trying to do in Thor? I loved him in Thor. I loved him in Thor, too, man. I didn't like that movie very much, but I thought he was hilarious. I think everybody loves him and Thor, but nobody could...

Understand what the accent was. Yeah. He was just so hopped up on... wine orgies it doesn't matter well you know that's Zeus he's been partying for a minute it's a me a Zeus since we're talking about

is that is that going to be Hercules that little guy the little guy at the end from Ted Lassow yeah I guess if you have like you know like superhuman strength you don't need to be buff is not like

it's like it's like You know, unnatural strength. It comes from within. It's not from the muscles. From the heart. I don't like that. The flam must come not from the throat, but from the very soul, booger.

Yeah. It's like an exaggerated version of old man strength. You know, like these frail old men, but they're fucking strong as shit. Yeah. It's like that. Aye, aye. All right.

I think last week we talked about they're doing a conjuring series on HBO. They're also doing a fourth movie, which is officially titled The Conjuring Last Rights. Sure. Why not? What's up, Naz? Put me in, coach. You're in. Get in the game.

Cool the week. Um, hmm. Uh-oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Did you see Bo as afraid? No, not yet. I'm all caught up on Young Sheldon finally. There we go.

We haven't had Cool of the week Young Sheldon ever. This is the first on the horror returns, folks. But I helped with a Kickstarter for a comic book called Tribal Force. Okay. And I got all three. I don't know if you can see them. Three of the covers. This one.

And that one. So. Nice. Let's go with tribal force over Young Sheldon. You okay with that, Ness? No, man, but I haven't... When did Young Sheldon's voice change?

See, that's how much of the loop I was, out of the loop I was with that. Right. So, but, yeah, a lot's going on with his brother and sister. Does he got like a deep voice now? Yeah. Because even my grandson was like, I don't like his voice now.

He's like 40 years. old at this point, right? But Paramount Plus, if you guys have all the first seasons are on HBO Max and the new season is on Paramar Plus. Back to our original argument, boys, about you got to buy every fucking streaming

service to check everything out. I know, so. Total rip-off. All right. Or are you pirated, Lance? Nance is the OG pirate in our group. I don't do that.

Allegedly. I don't do any of that, boys and girls. Allegedly. Hypothetically saying. I watch things on the internet. Like I listen to the universal music on full volume. But anyway.

Yeah, you totally can't like watch any song you want on YouTube and use audacity and then just happen. It's not possible. Unbelievable. That sucks. You guys get taken down more than anybody I know when you're doing your fucking YouTube videos, man.

Who did you piss off? We haven't lately. We pissed off fucking Fast and Furious. We pissed off Disney. I know. I remember Fasten the Furious. Fasten Fist off Disney? Yeah.

They get a couple of our videos. What a coincidence. A little better watch out. I was just because we were watching trailers. Oh, man. Y'all need to start your own meet. two movement. You're watching trailers and they got mad? Yeah. I think it has something

to do with, they were watching trailers when they were live. Yeah, because like, we're doing new ones where we like break down the trailers, but we record it not live, we record it all, and then we put it out, and like we haven't gotten any bullshit from that. Yeah, because they don't want anybody promoting their stuff live. Right. Oh, God forbid you promote which is weird. It's like, I'm not saying, like, You did it.

You promoted it. Jeez. Like we were going frame by frame with that fast X trailer. Because that thing is... Yeah. You guys actually... Y'all got me actually wanting to watch it. And so they're going to fuck with you because you convinced me to spend money on their movie.

Have you seen part nine? You've seen part nine? I just finished... I hate them all, dude. I love them. I hate them and I love them. Part nine where they introduce his brother. Even though the whole series has been about family.

Is that the... the one where they went to space? They went to space in a car? Yeah, in a scuba gear and a fucking Subaru. And duct tape, duct tape all around the car to keep the oxygen man. And then they're just like, they're like hanging out

outside the International Space Station and you're like, well, okay, well, now what? How do you get in? Like, what's happening? I wanted to see how they got back to Earth. Yeah, I know, right? They just showed up at the barbecue at the end. Yeah.

Hey, it's family, man, family barbecue. Are those all VHS? Yeah, man. I've got a new closet. Yeah, he's in a blackbuster store, dude. Recording by from a black, but the last blackbuster. Foothill video. I already have shirts.

I like your T-shirt, man. Oh, yeah, you like that's a nice. I think it's like a wrestling logo from somebody. I think so, yeah, it looks like it. Brian's got the T-shirt, and Nez has Metallica. They are running with this took. all right okay

a couple more things real quick Lance you and me both like to speak no evil yes they're remaking it for the American audience well it's about time it's only been six months McKenzie Davis and James McAvoy are

starring in the brief right so is Maccoy going to be the real pussy that lets his daughter get kidnapped and doesn't do a fucking thing I want him to be the other guy I like how we're... Oh, that would be great. I like how we're like,

we're like, we're doing the American remake. The evil Dutchman. The evil Dutchman. See, you've got the, you've got the nice guys from our good friend, Lars from Denmark's country, that try to go along with everything.

And then you've got the very evil Dutch. So, hopefully McAvoy will be the Dutchman. You got this one? I don't know, you can see it. Oh, yes. I'm going to put that up. I was asking him.

Lance is literally. asked by a valley. I don't have that one, but I got, I got, I got something, though. Look at this. Nobody has this. How is it when we reference something? You have it like right there to reach. It's all every time.

Every time. All right. But you got, man. Nobody has this one. Oh. Oh, you can't make that movie. No, you can't. You can't make that movie today at all.

with you all this in 2020. Never again. Holy shit. Yeah, I remember I saw that when it came out. What do you guys think about the new Secura video? Yeah, I got some, a lot of random stuff in there. All right. Brian, next item. I'll end news with if anybody's interested in the new Texas

chainsaw mask or video game that's coming. it will be released on Xbox Game Pass same day is that do you know anything about it like is it kind of like Friday the 13th or an evil dead where you're like

one guy is the bad guy and everybody else is the good guy is trying to escape I'm not sure I haven't really because those games are fun like I love the Friday the 13th game but nobody ever wanted to play so it was just like that I know like when you're there by yourself and nobody nobody wants to be the victim or the killer

you know, it's kind of boring. Yeah, I played it once and yeah, nobody wanted to play. I know. Or you don't know how to play, so it's just like... Yeah, I didn't. Yeah, just for these controllers these days, man. You could talk...

One time I was playing it was with Alil, and Alil was Jason. Right. It's like, I'm like, fucking Alil, where are you? And he was just like, I fucking can't find anybody. I just walked around the whole match. We just couldn't find each other. I just wanted him to kill me so we could play.

Dude, we were playing Red Dead Redemption too last night, and my granddaughter was making me look like a bitch. She was like, she was Clint Eastwood, and I was like the town whore. She was just, she was just killing me, man. So these kids understand these controllers,

but I'm just like, what the fuck? Just give me Pac-Man or something, you know? I can't, I don't get it. All right, that's the news. All right, so we're moving on to the trailer park, Nez. You ready? I haven't even seen any of them. I don't even know what they are.

All right. You two talk about the trailers. I'll jump in a little bit. All right. The first one is a new release from Neon Studios, which is, of course, who puts out your favorite director's

movies, Brandon Cronenberg, Lance. Okay. Got it's surpassed his father with two movies. I love his shit, man. I can't argue. It lives inside. Synopsis goes who's in an Indian-American teenager struggling with cultural identity has a falling out with her former best friend

and in process unwittingly releases a demonic entity that grows stronger. Indian as in real Indian or the fake one like me? I don't know how to answer that. Indian from India. Those are the real ones. We're the fake ones. We're the fake ones. We're the fake ones.

I don't know if I put it that way, but you said it, not me. Well, he thought he was in India, and he wasn't. He was lost. Lance, did you check out the trailer? Yes, I think it looks creepy as fuck, and I am totally down. When's it coming out? Let me see. I should I add this.

Steve, what did you think? I loved it. I love, I'm a big sucker for, you know, like, I love that first trailer. for, what was that, insidious? That first insidious trailer always got me. And this kind of reminded me

of that in a lot of ways. I got the same vibe. Yeah. Just like with like the jump scares. Like I love that one shot in the trailer where her hair's getting pulled back. Like you can't see anything back there. Sucker for it.

You know, so I'm here for this one. This one looks great. And the lead actress is easy on the eyes. So I can watch this. It doesn't hurt. Yeah. Bout it, about it, Brian.

I'm ready for this when it looks good, man. The lead actress, I believe, is Megan Surrey. I must be looking at the wrong. What's it called? It lives inside, 2003. Oh, I'm watching something with some dude. That was the wrong link. Yeah, I agree.

It looks creepy. I like, I like... The trailer for the bear. No, this one, it's called it lives inside, but it's focused on a guy. It's some kind of ghost. I don't know, man. Yeah, look this trailer. It's called it.

It's all right, man. Well, what's it too? Okay. Here's the one you guys are talking about. It looks good, man. It looks creepy. Definitely got those old school, like, ghost vibes and shit like that. Yeah, and I also like that we're getting a little bit of this culture,

so we're getting, like, new, you know, cultural depictions of demonic possession or whatever the case may be. So I'm always good for that. I love that because I'm like a sucker because I'm very uncultured. So, like, I just believe everything. I'm like, holy shit. It's great. You know, so. This looks good.

I'm very gullible when it comes to those. All right. I'm in on this one. Is it going to be a theater or is it a? The only thing I'm seeing right now is it's going to get a, sorry, my phone's, a March 11th release. Well, that's already passed.

Says November 3rd in Turkey. I don't know what that means. I have to be. all right man well maybe we're checking it hopefully it'll be on like shutter or something I don't know this looks like something

shutter would pick out I sent you another trailer Brian let's try to find this one this one I'm the one I watched first all right this one looks all right it's called it lives inside

but it's not you know what it almost has the same font really as the one we're talking maybe it's a remake dude maybe it's already a remake then this one that I first look

that was from three years ago. Maybe it's the Indian remake of the American movie. I was going to say, three years, that's about enough time to do a remake. I mean, they are doing that now, because a couple weeks ago, I watched

the Japanese remake of Q, which was not good. Yep. Yep. The what? The Japanese remake of Q? I saw a poster at CinemaCon. I mean, I didn't go there, but you know, I saw the

poster on one of the feeds and it was an old boy poster. I'm like, you're doing fucking old boy again? How? It's going to be gross again. Are they doing, are you serious? They're doing a third old boy? There was an old boy poster in the background on one of the little pictures I saw.

Oh, really quick, Brian. We got a request from the average dude or the regular dude, whatever's name. Gene. Sorry, Gene. Oh, Gene, yeah. A good old Gene. Gene's, reviews. He wants us to do the

challenge. Okay. Scott Glenn? Yeah, I found it on YouTube, so I sent you, I sent you it. Okay. All right, I just wanted to jump in there with that before I forget. So, but yeah, Gene, we'll knock that one out. All right. Have you, for the action returns, have you all done the last

dragon yet? Mm-hmm. Yes. In the beginning. That was early when we were trying to do two movies. Oh, man. Okay. I guess I got to go back and listen to that then. Now we got to try to convince these guys to do a fast and furious retrospective. You want it? That might be a big ass.

I'll do the first three movies after that, man. I don't know. Come on. They get good after that. They get real fun. All right. This next trailer, this was for Phil, but he's not here because he's such a big Lulu Wilson fan.

Oh, yes. The wrap of Becky Red Band trailer, which I'll jump in real quick. Yep. We already talked about a teaser, so I'm not going to read off any information. I am disappointed with this trailer. This is a weak red band trailer.

There was no glory in it. There was just some blood. Lulu Wilson runs funny in her action scenes. She's not convincing me she's going to take on these. I'm assuming their version of the proud boys. The nobleman.

There's a lot of politics in this man. And AJ was saying the same thing you said, Brian She said the way she's running, how is she going to outrun these guys? They opened it with her weird run. What was she in? This may not be the best. She's been in everything.

Every old horror movie, she was the kid. The second to Ouija. Yeah, she was the little girl. Okay, all right. Now she's all big. All right. Is that Stifler? Yeah.

Stifler, yeah. Stifler runs the proud boys in this. I guess he's going to be like Kevin James. He's going to be a racist. Does he going to have a white claw right here and smoking a cigar in front of the camera? I did notice a friend of the show, Aaron Dalavela, was one of the henchmen. Ah, okay. I believe he's the one that hits the dog with the bat.

So he's not going to be a white character. Yeah, I can't take dog violence. Sorry. No. I'm probably out on this one, man, unless you make us watch it, Brian. There's a Hulk Hogan movie. I don't think it's a suburban commando, but it's something like that. We're in the background in the beginning where he's like riding his bike.

If you watch in the background, there's an old guy that picks up a dog and throws it into the water. Yikes. It just happens in the background. I was like, what the fuck? Was that Malachi? Malachi. Which one? One of the dudes in this trailer.

what's it called? Courtney Gaines? In the bed? Yeah, dude, they look like Malachi. How are you going to make me pull this? I don't know. I'm not. I was sold on the teaser and the idea of the sequel, but just watching this tree.

Yes, it's Courtney Gaines. Okay. He plays Twig. Huh. It was Mr. Nanny. That was the whole Cogan movie. I was thinking. Oh, I remember that.

Oh, the kid from, uh, uh, babysitter movie with Kelly Bundy wasn't he in that movie? Don't tell mom the babysitting did? Yeah, I had that on VHS too. Yeah, that was so long ago.

I think I see it. I think I see it right there, man. Is it? Keith, is that his name? Who? Is this name Keith? Keith David or David? No, the kid from

Don't tell mommy the babysitter's dead. Uh-oh. somebody just sent me a video hold on yeah Keith Coogan that's his name that they actually label the video rock and roll throwing a dog in the water

oh man Hulk Hogan he's a real American all right sorry guys go ahead it's like a 30 second little video it's out there the fuck is this asshole What an ass?

Are you serious? Okay, I got it. Was that something they just caught? I don't know. Randomly on video, yeah. Or did they say action? Yeah, this has nothing to do with the movie but throw this dog in the water. Nothing happens from it.

He doesn't like turn around and he's like, hey, brother, you know nothing. It's just there. Oh, you see that dog in water. Aye, aye, aye. That's hurt. That hurts. Isn't that movie Shane Ray throws a little boy in the water?

It's like that. Teaching the dog out of swim. Well, this one, I'm in. It's got Stifler and Malachi. I watched it. I like the first Beck. It just didn't sell me. I don't know.

Becky. Well, we'll see what you think, Brian. Oh, this is a part two? You never seen part one? I think Brian liked the first one, too. Oh, you never saw Becky with Kevin James with a huge swastika tattoo on his back? No, I missed it.

I guess I got to find that one. All right. All right. I think this one, IMDB's not doing good on these release dates. For some reason, I'm set on a different setting. It's telling me turkey releases.

Oh, my gosh. All right. But I do know sometime in May, it's getting a theatrical release, Elimited, which I won't be there. You guys ready for feedback? Yep. All right. Moving on to list or feedback.

This week, we shot the podcast spotlight on Let Us In. Some spooky women here to talk about horror. If you like women, and who doesn't. And you like spooky, you're in the right place. Brian created a poll. Is the Evil Dead franchise the most consistent ever? And so far, the yeses have it by about 66%. Who said no?

I did. What is the most consistent? Amityville? They got like one coming out every day. I don't think it means... Consistly good. Well, I would argue, based on my previous appearances here on your show, that the Scream franchise can be put right up there as well.

Especially number three. That's one. I know. I know. And I guess, yeah, because... Evil Dead hasn't really had a miss. But then there are those people that aren't a big fan of the change in tone from one to two. I don't know those people.

And then three is also not even like a horror movie. Yeah, that's just like an adventure. It's awesome. I love it, but it's, you know. I think out of those, that's not my least favorite, Army of Darkness. Really? So then you would have to say, what do you like more, Army of Darkness or Screen 3? while the Army of Darkness wins there too.

Well, I'll take Screen 3. I put the same poll on Twitter, and 68% said, yes, it is, the most consistent of the franchise ever. There you go. Well, I mean, I argue that, but then again, you could also argue that Lepricon is the most, it's mostly consistently bad, but it's very consistent. I guess if you, because I wasn't specific on what consistency. Right. It's all right, man. We get it. Everybody has their own opinion, man.

Because for me, Child's Play was only good with the first three and that remake. Oh, don't fuck with me, Nez. The TV shows, TV show, I like the show. Yes, it is. Don't go there, Nass. After three. You lose me at Cidtichick. You lose me at C.

Nope, nope. There are a long. Every fucking Child's Play movie is amazing. Uh-uh. I don't know that. That's the of Chucky. See the Chucky and. I love to see the Chucky,

Curse and Colt and Oh, that was cool. I didn't like curse, but Colt was cool. I liked Colt. I didn't like that one. Colt was a little bit more serious. See the Chucky, ma'am. I mean, you're disemboweling rappers. Well, they're sitting there's people trying to fuck you.

Come on. That's fun, guys. That's fun. All right, let's move on. So. Probably 13th. All of them were good, except for... You want a chance of Tilly to play the Virgin Mary. Nine.

Jason goes to hell was the worst one. Okay, I was about to say, okay, I was like, you're not going to stake your claim and Jason goes to hell, right? No, that was trash. I don't care what I was. I wasn't a fan of the Manhattan one, but... That one's awesome. I just bought that hockey mask at that.

How could you not like the Manhattan one? I could watch him kicking that fucking jukebox over or that boom box over on a loop for like 10 hours, just be happy. Fantastic. All right, well, if you don't mind a two-hour movie with an hour and 50 minutes of riding on a boat getting there, you're good. So, moving on.

The horror stands. The lake that connects to New York. The horror stand says, scream for me. There you go, Steve. Scream for me. It's his favorite. But Evil Dead is really consistent.

Still need to see Rise, though. So there you go. Scream is in the running. Let's welcome our new members. Miles Benel. Bentel or Bennett? Benel. Tom Landrith, Eric Fernando, Alexis Nelson, and Ryan Cavaline.

Give Me Back My Horror Movies. The Final Sacrifice is a top-tier sequel. Do you guys agree? Let's see. What is? Spoiler. Children of the Corn 2. Children of the Corn 2, the Final Sacrifice.

Top-tier sequel, according to a podcast that's called Give Me Back My Horror Movies. We're going to find out. So, let's see, okay, we got Knight official movie, send us an email. And that's spelled N-I-G-H-T. So I guess that's going to be the name of the movie. It says, hey there, my team and I are currently in development of a high-action, super-gory horror movie called Night. And I was wondering if we could schedule a podcast with you. Brian, what do you think?

Hey, why not? Let's see. Me and a couple of actors from the film 2 to 3 Max, we would highly appreciate it and think it would be a great content for you and us. So I think we're all about that. Night is a dark, violent,

and super gory horror movie about a young student that is being brutally psychologically tormented and hunted down by an unknown force after witnessing a horrible murder in the woods. Are you down, Nez? Where can I see this? We are going to get a screener in the doing interview. Sounds awesome.

All right. We'll check it out. Matt Wood says, guys, don't watch the pool. It's fucking dumb. It wasn't that dumb. He's in my product five for that year. Let's see. Our show intro and all of our new logos come from.

Drum roll, please. Steve Kurt. Carlton from the Geeks. And be on the lookout for more great stuff from Steve. There's been stuff done for a minute. You just haven't put it on. I know, I just haven't switched it over to T-shirt format. Somebody needs to help me figure that out, but we'll get to it.

Our original skull artwork comes from Natsulani. If you would like to help the show, please consider becoming a Patreon patron. We'll let you pick the movies for a future show at any amount. and for $5 or more a month, also pick your commentary. And now it's time for our main attractions. Let the children of the court. Let the children of the court retrospective begin.

Thank you, Steve. Thank you, Steve. This might end up like the band-dain. Not like today. Yeah, what happened to all that? Man, what happened all the Van der Mee movies? I got to try to convince those. I've been, I'm ready.

I'm ready. I spent, you know how much time it took me to make that fucking intro. Okay. One of the best intros ever. Slide it over with us and we'll do the rest. I'm ready. You guys want to jump on? I will move the intro right over. As, Ms.

You want to do it? Yeah, wherever you left off, let's go from forward. I think we left off. The one that we left off with was the one with Rob Schneider where they're like, they're like doing like bootleg clothes and like Thailand or something. I want you to understand. I remember that one. I remember that one.

This is later. damn career. Oh, yeah. We've already knocked out the awesoms, so we're getting into the weeds. But there's still some cool ones in there. Rob Schneider, why? I never even heard of this one. Yeah.

Knockoff jeans. Yeah, the knockoff. It's called knockoff, wasn't it? Yeah. All right. Y'all ready to dive into the cornfields now? I've been ready. Let's do it.

Let's do it. Children at the corn, 1984. A young couple. is trapped in a remote town where a dangerous religious cult of children believes that everyone over age 18 must be killed. Okay, is this children of the corn or what's that movie, Nez, where they were running to get away from the Farah Fawcett was in it? Help me out here.

What? The movie was running, the movie was running, Farah Fawcett. Oh, Logan's run. Oh, I was like, what? All right. It was very vague. What are you talking about? She was only in it for like two scenes.

She's, I could just see in his head going through all the different scenes in his catat and his backlog of like Farrah Fawcett running and trying to figure out. I was. I was thinking, there was a lot. There was a lot for sure. All right.

Director of Children of the Corn was Fritz, Kyrsch, also known for Into the Sun and the Swamp Thing TV series. Not tough turf. Was it tough turf? That we reviewed. Yeah. Okay. You could have segue it into that and tell people to listen to string fiends.

Yep. Dang. See? Drop the ball, bro. Hey, Philip usually does this. Give me a break. Come on. Writer George Goldsmith, also known for Blue Monkey.

And hot child in the city. How about that? Yikes. All right, here we go with the trivia. The real corn was used for most of the filming. Polyurethane corn had to be used for the more difficult action sequences. I have no idea why. Because there's fucking the blades on the corn, like that shit is the stalks.

Like, that shit hurts. Like, it's sharp. Running through razor blades. Yeah, like, you have to, they probably have to have, like, fake. ones. They can't have those kids are running through. They're getting all cut up. It's the 80s. Different time, boys and girls. I'm supporting Ness now.

Of course. Okay. The tagline, and a child shall lead them. Comes from Isaiah 116 in the Old Testament, which reads, And the wolf shall dwell with a lamb. And the leopard shall lie down with the kid. and the calf and the young line and the fatling together and a little child shall lead them and speaking of a little child leaving us Steve you're our guest wow I think I might be the youngest one on though so okay tell us all about tell us all about children of the corn man what'd you

think so this whole thing started when Brian posted the poster of the new one that came out this year and we got into the comments and then one thing let do another and here we are. Now, I do really like the first movie. I'm like on the verge of loving it and I like it more each time I watched it.

I've watched it twice just recently. Once before, like two weeks ago and then once just this week for the show. It's one of those nostalgia, it's a lot of nostalgic for me because it's one of those ones that I snuck in. I wasn't supposed to watch it.

woke up in the middle of the night you know took the tape freaking washed it scared of shit in my bedroom and it just always stuck with me as one of those like sneaking away I got away with it you know so it was like this it was a big deal in the horror history

for me right and watching it now like the theme the music is like iconic like that theme that they have is that's like up there that is it's catchy they could have ran with that unfortunately they dropped it off like it didn't even happen going forward so that sucks but like

I love the music I think uh everybody actually acted really well I mean you know you got Isaac in his screechy ass voice but like Courtney Gaines is straight up terrifying and you know the religious part of this and how like you could just see how how it went down like I just thought it was all done really well it's very 1980 for, you know, it's a lot of it, you know, the grain of it. But I still like a lot of like the practical stuff, like, you know, the car hitting the little kid. I like, you know, the dummy shots, you know, I love that kind of stuff. I love the weird trying to be cool with the computer graphics, you know, and they're trying to do some cool stuff.

But, like, the practicals are great. That shit moving under the dirt is awesome. And it has one of the best explosions ever at the end. Like, they did a real-ass explosion and it looks good. So I don't know. I have a lot of fun with them. Not CGI. How cool is that, right?

It's such a simple way to do it because it's just a wheelbarrow turned upside down. Right? Under a tarp cover with dirt. There you go. And they're just dragging it through. But it looks crazy, you know. So I don't know. I love the opening with the attack and the diner.

I mean, the body count for this movie is really low. But, you know, this opening is a really cool shot. I love that whole scene. So for me, I'm a big fan of this first Children of the Corn movie. So I love it. Nez, you go. I love this movie. First time we saw it.

Wow. Man. Linda Hamilton. Right? Yeah. You got Sarah Connor in there. I think this was right after Terminator. It was either before or after I can't remember.

Around the same time, sure. Yeah, this movie was awesome. Courtney Gaines Every time I see him, he's Malachi. Yeah. I met him once. He was cool. Isaac, still creepy today.

You know, he was 24 when he made this? Yeah. Damn, dude. He looked so much younger. That that's awesome. What a way to great casting. You know, great cast. I've only seen Isaac in this, the sixth one,

and it was a commercial. Oh, yeah, 666. Spoiler. Spoiler. He did a commercial. for like... He wants you too, Lance. Some, I was either commercial for candy or cereal.

I can't remember. Oh, or cigarettes. He was still supposed to be a little kid. I'm like, what's Isaac doing? I guess you got to work. From what I understand, he's a teacher somewhere. I don't know, he might be retired, but, yeah. I was all in on this one.

I mean, I've always been like not that big of a fan of religion. I mean, whatever float your boat, boys and girls, it's up to you, whatever you want to believe in. Stephen King's not a fan That's for damn sure Yeah this this type of this type of stuff To where these people believe it that much Yeah

I'm not I'm not with it Because these are the ones that are like Trying to force it on you So I'm not I'm not all with that But anyway, I thought the setting was awesome out in Gatlin, Nebraska I don't know if you guys ever been in Nebraska My father-in-law is from Winnebago

And where my sister-in-law lives, man. She's like right in the middle of a cornfield, basically. You got to drive down this road which is covered with corn corn stalks. And then you come to this opening and there's

her house. Like actually the actual corn stocks and everything are, is her fence. Holy shit. This one has scared the fuck out of me. So I'm like Freddy versus Jason. Holy hell. Exactly, dude. I went out to the, it was at night. I went out to get something in the car. Right. And I just stood there. And it was kind of breezy so you can,

you can hear the wind blow through the corn stalks. I just stood there. You hear any rats in the corn? I didn't hear nothing, man. I was waiting for he who walked around the rows to come out. But I do. I shoot you not, man. It scared me. I just stood there for a minute looking like anyone could be staring right at me. Yep. Yeah. I couldn't see him. I just went back inside and locked the door. But man, I give it to her. She still lives there today. And that's spooky. But I love this movie. I thought all the characters are cool.

Job, he was cool. The Sarah, the little girl, she was cool. Of course, Isaac Malachi and everybody else. That one dude, he was in Point Break. He was in North Shore and he was in Return of the Living Dead. The one guy that cut the swastika, or not swastika, the pentagram in his chest. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. the kid, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, he was in all those movies. I met him too. He's really cool. He went on to have a big career. You ain't going to talk about Peter Horton? That's right out. Side out. Greatest volleyball movie ever.

I just remember him in singles. That dude's got fucking wheels, bro. When he starts running, he is gone. He's out of there. Zephyl's legs are dumb long. He just takes off on those kids. They can't keep up with him for shit. I mean, I laugh.

Eric, my youngest son got into the Stephen King movies, so he started watching all the TV shows and the old movies, and he watched this one. He goes, do I need to see the other ones? I say, well, if you got time and you want to, but other than that, this is the best one you need to see. Because this is the only one that Stephen King had something to do with. But overall, this movie's awesome.

I love it. I can watch it whenever it's on. and yeah it's here in my library I think I have the VHSD I think I have it but I got the good one with the fucking the actual poster you know

the orange background with the black hand with the sickle or a child show and like it's awesome that's the poster I want that was out of all the many posters that are out there at conventions that's the best one I love how the little

the silhouettes of the kids yep with their little eyes and shit yeah that's that's sweet but i thought they they picked a good cast to be in this film if you guys have read did you read the short story lance yeah it's been it's been years but i mean it it obviously is a lot goes a lot further than the short story but it i think they did it well it was mainly about the the kid's side of it then the movie focused more on yeah the strangers coming into town right Yeah, Bert and Vicky, they kind of focused more on them.

It was mainly all the kids telling the story. Yeah. But, I mean, it did have, it had its similarities to everything. But, yeah, this movie's awesome. And R.G. Armstrong, you can't go wrong when he pops up in a movie. He was the gas station guy. Oh, God. Him and his dog, Sarge.

He was great, though. He acted his ass off. Like, I believed everything about him, and he had enough. He was like, let's go. I love it. For that scene, they had to cut the scene short for budget reasons. You're supposed to find, they're supposed to find the dog's head under the hood. Oh, no.

Not the bandana. Yeah, but I guess, like, when I was a kid, I saw the bandana there. And, like, there was, like, some confusion when I was younger and the first time I saw it, you know, when I was like 10. I was like, what is that? And it was almost scarier for me. Like, I knew as soon as he said, the old man said his dog, I was like, oh, it was his dog's bandana. But like, right. Sometimes when you don't see it, it's even scarier than when you're...

Scarier. Yeah, what your mind conjures up. Sure. And like when he goes after those kids in the garage and then it just cuts to the fucking clouds rolling dumb fast across the cornfield. It's like... Right. It's just great. I don't know.

It's like old school horror stuff. And I, you know, some... There's a good time and a place for the gore and in your face stuff, but some of these other things I like just as good. Yeah. This movie is awesome. I love it. Brian, I'll bet you're a fan. Yeah, I love this since I was a kid.

Remember, this used to scare the shit out of me. And not for the reasons you think, just the thought of being in the situation where you would neither have to join these kids and killing your parents or they'll just kill you. And joining them is not the fucking greatest thing because you're not allowed to do shit. You can't fucking draw. You can't listen to music. Can't do nothing. but the stand standout performance to me

is Courtney Gaines is Malachi because that guy goes for it like I was looking at some behind the scene stuff he actually that scene with Linda Hamilton where he's holding her by her face and he's screaming Outlander and he's like Got Your Woman

he actually bruised up her face he was like squeezing her face so hard it shows man he was getting into it you can do all But you can do whatever you want in this town if you're psychic. If you're psychic, you're good to go. Right.

Hey, you've got to get to get to do whatever you want. But if you're just another kid, then you get caught doing something. They'll send Malachi to come see you. Stick your ass up there with the blue man. Even when Peter Horton from a side out, or Ness, shows up to the church, they don't want Isaac. They're like, at first they're like, go get Isaac. And then they're like, no, go get Malachi. and all the kids are all like, ooh.

That was awesome. I love that part. Well, they didn't want a speech, man. They wanted a man of action. Yeah. I don't get a shit. He'll kill a kid, right? No problem.

Ness, I'm with you on that one. That does freak me out. The religious people that push it upon you and that's all this town was about. You know, you heard it from adults. You heard it from kids. Yeah, you even heard it on the damn race. radio. Like, they only have one radio station and it played the same thing over and over.

It seemed like all the kids were in, except for the two that we're following, Job and Sarah, because they were all in the cornfield. They all saw that fucking, he walks behind the rows. He fucking, so they were all in. Like, I don't know so much of it was like they were forcing anybody to join. Like, Dale, oh shit. Job had a good life. He right before his dad got murdered, he was drinking milkshakes and having a good old time. He still had a milkshake mustache mustache when he got blood all over his face. That's a hell of a shot, you know, like innocence and innocence lost all at once. I like that. I felt for everybody in that scene with the one to me who got the worst was a guy that stick his hand in the meat slicer.

I love how his hand is like spread out and then it gets closer and he knuckles up and you're like, oh, shit. He's just buying himself a couple extra seconds. Yeah. So good. But I can't say too many more good things about everybody else has already said. so Lance you're going to bring us down? No, not at all, man. I enjoyed it, dude.

I love the fact that when they were driving, they actually had the short story collection on the windshield that this short story appeared in, which I thought was pretty cool. It was very Stephen King, everything in here. Stephen King fucking hates organized religion in case you couldn't tell from all those other movies and books. There's a whole dialogue when they're listening to the preacher on the radio.

They're just making fun of it the whole time. And they did great. I think they did a great job of adapting the short story. And maybe it wasn't more from the kids' point of view. It's from like a super sexy Linda Hamilton and the other guy's point of view, like where they were like strangers in a strange land. It reminded me more of the short story called Rock and Roll Heaven that Stephen King wrote, where they basically show up at a diner.

And they're like, hey, that guy that waited on us looked just like Buddy Holly. That's kind of weird. and they're like driving around and that's, was that fucking Elvis? You know, it's like basically all the dead rock and roll stars and it's like their hell and their heaven because they're, every fucking night

everybody gathers in the middle of town and listens to a concert about like Jimmy Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Elvis, all the dead people perform every night. But that reminded me of this quite a bit when they're driving into the town and they're, you know, going to these places

like the diner in the hotel they stay in and stuff like that. But I don't know, man. It's definitely the best of the two children of the corn movies. Well, what's your history, Lance? Have you seen any Children of the Corn before this? As of this recording, I've seen one and two. So we're in for a treat. We're definitely in for a treat.

I enjoyed it. I really did, man. I thought it was very well. done. Very Stephen Kingish and it totally kept up with everything he believes in in his stories. I think the acting was good. The kids were creepy

as fuck, which was always helpful in a movie. And yeah, I'm going to give this one a pretty good rating, I think. So, Steve, I'll start with you, man. What's your rating? One to ten. I'm going to give

Children of the Corn a nine. Only five. Children of the Corn is I don't really know what else they could have done to get me more in. You know, one of the things that I heard a lot about was people complaining about how it just sort of ends. But I was watching it this last time and I kind of love how it ends. I love that like they're sitting there and so many times this happens in the movie where like they're dead to rights but then somebody yells and then, you know, they can get the upper hand. Like when all those kids surround Homeboy in the middle of town and then. then they're like outlander and they look and then he just runs.

He just runs away because everyone takes their eyes off him for a second. And then here that girl's got him dead to right. She's got the hook. And like what a great, like there's like nice, you know, whimsical music playing. And then he sits down in the car and then ta-da-da-da-da. You know, the music breaks back up and there's a huge hook. And I was like, holy shit. You know, she's like, interloper.

Just enough time for him to like, you know, yank her into the front seat. Slams the door on her head, knocks her to the third. fuck out. And then I love how he's like, I don't know what to do. Linda Hamilton's like, center of fucking postcar. Let's go. Yeah, he's so concerned. He's just like, she's totally unconscious. But it's

the best because then it stands up, it is this wide shot. It just says the end. And then it shows Linda Hamilton walking away with the kids and Peter Orden is just standing there with his hand on his head. Like, what the fuck just happened? This whole movie takes place in one afternoon. He doesn't know what's

happening. Because also by that by the end of this movie, they have two kids that they're taking care of all of a sudden. I know. Like, shotgun adoption, you know. Yeah, see, they should. You guys want to go to Seattle instead of a whole different movie. But, like, I just loved the reaction because it's just Peter Horton standing there, just like trying to process everything that just happened. And, you know, it's, it's damn near perfect for me.

So, all right. Nine. Nine. Are you that high, Naz? You, 10 on 10. I'm going higher. This is a 10. I love them.

Out of all the ones I've seen, I've seen, uh, what is there, nine of them? I've seen the first, I've seen the first three, uh,

then part six, and then this last new, this newest one. Those are the ones that I've seen. You know what? Uh, Nez, I think I'm actually,

I didn't factor in the music part of it. Cause they even have like some synth wave shit. there too like when they're like getting lost in the car it's like dun dun ton and you got like the the cassio fucking going nuts yeah you're right this is a 10 yeah the score alone is a 10 it's it's awesome maybe it's the all-on-nothing days especially on a children of the record scale yeah the effects at the end the effects at the end cheesy but they're they're effective especially for right 1984 I mean not to Today's standards, when everyone was, oh, it was so fake looking, I mean.

When they launched Isaac like a fucking rocket. Oh, man. That was real. They shot something up. Yeah. I mean, so you can't go around and just how Isaac came out at the end. Malachi and he wants you to and all this. So it was like, how they did with the tweak of the knob, changed his voice.

And that was creepy. But, I mean, I just love the way it went. It wasn't that long of a movie. it goes by so fast it's just boom boom boom boom next you know the credits are rolling that's what i loved about this if you do remember all the eight all the 80s stephen king movies they were all hour and a half nothing was really long i think the one which i loves uh christine the john carpenter one it's a john carpenter film how he makes his film so it's not it's not just boom boom boom right after another he draws it out but it's still amazing but this one it had everything i wanted um i did

I didn't not read the book. I still haven't read it. The story. Somebody read it all on YouTube. So I listened to the whole thing, like the lady was reading the book. She read the story. So that's how I learned that it was mainly about the kids and not about Bert and Vicki. So, but overall, I loved it.

I think it's an awesome film. And this is definitely one of the 80s films that are just, to me, are awesome. This is one of the higher up ones of out of the 80s Stephen King films. That's why I give it a 10. Strong words. Strong words. You guys know I don't give 10, so I can't give it a 10. But I will give it a 9 and a half.

And the reason it doesn't get 10. Wow. Wow. Because they should have beat the fuck out of some of these kids in this movie. There was too much shoving and nudging kids out of the way. Burt slaps Malachi around like a little bitch. He even back hands him. Pow, whines up for it.

Yeah, but that's that's built up. That's a lot of built up frustration with Malachi. That whole church scene, I would have been swinging. I would have recreated that scene from boys. It wasn't boys in the hood. Oh shit. Walks in the room and use this like swinging at nothing. Right.

Or you can read the scene from Don't Be a Menace where there's a bunch of kids running in. There you go. There you go. That would have been me in the church and children of corn. Right. You're just kicking. Another thing, I mean, when I was watching this newer one, I was thinking, this is Nebraska.

I'm sure it's gun crazy everywhere. Nobody had a gun. No one had a pistol or anything. Especially at the beginning of some kids that's coming in. I'm pulling mine out and boom, boom. It's not blasting kids. Well, it's not Texas. It's not Texas, Naz.

I know, but, man, someone had to have a pistol or a rifle or a rifle or something. We should have seen some kids getting worked over. You would think so. Yeah. You know, I can visualize. Somebody had to have at least a gun holster or something on their, on their belt. And you see a.

Yeah, one of those old guys in the diner, right? Yeah, and you see a bunch of kids come in with knives and sickles. Yeah. And how did the blue man who has a gun not take out a couple? But I don't know. I don't know. Well, I also love their explanation. They were saying that, like, he was trying to burn.

down the corn and they were like, well, what happened? And they were like, Malachi. Like, I love that they just use him as like a describing, like a descriptor word instead of like like what actually happened. Oh, Malachi happens. Okay, okay, we get it. Yeah, I'm a crazy ass guy. This is what everyone wants to hear.

Do we really have two tens and a nine point five? Yeah, come on, this is what the audience is waiting on. No, this is a good strong seven. It's a good movie. It's a good Stephen King movie, they take a lot of his elements in there. A lot of the religion, a lot of people driving into a strange town, a lot of the, and the children

should lead. But honestly, guys, Star Trek did it better. With Mary, the episode of Mary, you got to say this argument. And the episode and the children shall lead. But I'll take that up with Sean. That was a good episode, though. Yeah, but did they all murder their parents? But they all went like this.

No, they were like, fuck, punk. there was some kind of disease it was killed everyone it's a strong it's a strong seven I enjoyed it I loved it it's a good movie Strong seven Downhill from here

Are you guys ready for the next film I am not because I need to go My grandkids need to get in bed Have you seen I have The only thing that I don't remember much The only thing I remember is I love how it's

started how the where this one ends, it starts like the next day. Yeah, even though it was eight years later. Yeah. And the main kid in it, the main bad kid, I don't remember him. And this just happened the day before. So I don't know who that kid is. But all right. But overall, I mean, for what I remember, I did like this one.

I probably need to watch it again. All right. Probably 10 on 10 for NAS. So I'll let you guys know. I'm going to pencil you down for a 10 and we can change it later. I'll let you know the next time. All right, fair enough. All right, guys.

All right, thanks you later. Bye, let's set it off later on. All right. All right, cool. Bye, guys. Later. All right. Game of volleyball later on.

All right. So, Children of the Corn 2, the final sacrifice, 1992, a journalist. But was you really a journalist? Was it really the final sacrifice? Yeah, no shit. 11 movies. Yeah, good point. A journalist.

and his son traveled to Nebraska to investigate the mysterious town of Gatlin, where, unbeknownst to them, a murderous cult of children is still waiting in the cornfields. Director David Price, also known for Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde, writers A.L. Katz and Gilbert Adler, based on a story by Stephen King. In a 2016 interview with the Deadline Hollywood News, Stephen King admitted that he could have done without all of the children in the corn sequels. I can see that. You and us both.

Okay, Terrence Knox and Rosalind Ellen, who played the love interest in the film, didn't like each other. Now, is that the two that were sweating so much when they were fucking... Oh, they were so sweaty. God. It was hot as fuck in that room. You could just, like, smell it. well the trivia definitely says they did not like each other it took a lot of convincing to finally get Alan to do the sex scene

you had to convince him yeah okay agreed to do it if they could get it in three shots and they did with lots of sweat and the last thing the town hall that was torched was actually a house the local fire department had selected to use for training so real-life movies shit, I guess. And the explosion at the end was, I'm pretty sure,

the same explosion from the first movie. You think so? I'm pretty sure it's like shot for shot. Steve, you go first. I'm grabbing another beer, but I'll be right back. All right. Children of the Corn 2, the final sacrifice. As Nez said, I do like the way it starts off

right from the go. and they even mentioned Bert and Vicki, and, you know, they mentioned Isaac. They mention a lot of that stuff. So that was cool. I guess my big problem is the huge tonal shift that this movie takes. And, man, Nez isn't here? You know, I wanted to get his opinion on the Native American character that was in here.

I looked him up. He's actually Native American because there's been quite a few movies. where me and Ness have reviewed and Stephen Lang is playing Native American or James Remar. Right. And he did. His voice did sound like, hey, my name is Tom Ascott. You know, like, you know, I liked that it took place in Hemingford. That was right there. It's just a tonal shift. You know, the kills were weak-soss. They took a lot of inspiration from Wizard of Oz, it feels like, for most of this movie. Wizard of Oz and Gremlins, actually, is what I would say for some of these kills.

Even though they are kind of funny, and like some of the stuff is funny, but like, that first children of the corn movie was like perfection. And they're trying to bring in the jokes with this. And I don't know. And like Mordecai, I'm sorry, Mordecai is no Malachi. Mordecai's garbage. Get out of here. I don't like this.

Which one was Mordycar? Mortykeye was like the blonde-haired, like the big kid that was like... Oh, when what I said needs to happen. These kids need to get fucked up more. and he gets fucked up at the end. Yeah, he gets the thing thrown through his belly. Yeah. And that awesome smash cut.

It's like so... Primo editing, you know? But it's just... Totally. And, like, Lance, you said that in the description, you were like, oh, they're going to investigate Gatlin. They didn't know anything about Gatlin. They just happened upon it.

Like, they were just driving around. Like, I don't even know what the fuck they were doing out there. He was like talking to this guy about spending time. Like they immediately introduced all this drama between the son and dad. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry I missed my plane dad or whatever. As soon as he did that, he was like, you know, you can start calling me dad.

He called him Tom or some shit. He was like, you can call me dad. And I was like, oh, I wanted to ask you, Steve, is, is that the one Power Ranger kid? Who? The original show? The drama? No. He's kind of looking to look like him, right? He's no Power Ranger.

I kept calling him not Emilio Estevez. Because it was like he was trying so hard to act like Emilio Estevez and Repo Man. Like, fuck you dad. Fuck you, man. Come on, man, you know. And they made such a big deal about making it happen like the next day, but yet like a decade's worth of fashion changes have happened. Of course.

Yes. Barry's that 80s. And this one, like, that kid was wearing, like, high top Nike's. Like, what are we doing? You know, like, those things had pumps on them. You know, that wasn't around in 84. So, I don't know. And then, you know, all this love interest with this girl.

And she's moving fucking quick. It's, like, day two. She's, like, taking me to New York. I'm like, God damn. They go swimming in jeans. And then, like, she was, like, washing her hair. but then like it panned out and it was like a dam and it was just like runoff she was washing her hair

and I was like, ooh, like that's not a waterfall. Get out of there. What are you doing? It's just not as good. You know, we could talk about... We could talk about some of the kills. I don't know if you could hear me, Lance, but I was saying that like,

I think they took inspiration from Wizard of Oz and Gremlins with their kills here. And the body counts... Rough stuff, man. Oh, what a world. What a world. Dude, the house falls on her and her feet are sticking out. I know, dude.

I caught that too. It's straight up. And then her sister comes. You know, her sister comes on like another one. And then like, then they do what the Gremlins did with that old lady's chair that flew up the stairs. They take. Right. He flips a switch on this remote control over an RC car and now he's controlling her wheelchair.

That was the one cool part of the movie I really enjoyed. Yeah, that was good. That was fun. How that dummy flew through that. Oh, the dummy flying was great. And then the old man, and so he was like, bingo. Like, ah, it's fucking clutch.

Like that is, that's goodness. But it's like, it's still really bad. It's the tonal ship from one. It's bad goodness, right? It is almost enough to give you a whiplash. So I didn't like this as much. But what about you, Brian? I agree with you.

There's a big tonal change. The first one was more serious. This one had some. I guess the word to use is the goofy moments, but if I had to pick out any positives, I will say the kid playing Micah. Right? He was trying. I felt like he was in there giving it as best he could because I felt like he was, you're on mute. I'll say he watched Isaac's highlight reel, you know, he was trying to hit those tones.

It felt like he was in a completely different movie than everybody else. Right. And I did the whole relationship with the father's son was garbage just the the the I was supposed to be on the plane sorry I missed it. I'm like so you're not supposed to hang out with your dad. You were supposed to be somewhere else? Then he calls his son a mistake. I made that mistake 16 years ago. Yeah.

And then he says he tells the son deal with it. I'm still trying to out. Yeah, that's rough, man. Which he says he had his son. when he was 17 and he looks like that now. Yeah, that guy's had a rough life. And like, and like someone like him just rolls into town and just like ends up hooking up with this hot frigging hotel owner.

Like, dang. I was about to say at least she was hot and her t-shirt, you do have to admit, her t-shirt said, come stay at our hotel where we will sleep with you or whatever it said on the top of the top of the shirt where she had the shoulder pads. Yeah. Or it said come sleep with us. What did it say? It said something.

I thought he was looking at her tits for a second. I was, so I don't know if he was or not. But I think it was. I will say for me, Micah, and then the kills, they were goofy, but they were fine. I laughed. Yeah. The house falling in her or, you know, the what a world, what a world. I love how she just chases that cat in her there.

And then she turns around and there's just all these kids walking around. It was kind of a so bad it's good, right? And how did they just have the tool to To lower it? Like, that takes some engineering knowledge To like what the fuck you're doing. I was confused with the burning of the church. Could nobody jump through the window and get out? Well, they barred the, I guess.

But Brian, they had to, the fire department had to practice on a building. So that was the building that was available. Yeah, they were two birds with one stone. Yeah, left the actors in there. You guys need to burn down a building. We need a bunch of motherfuckers down.

But another bright spot, I was talking about it with Steve. Uh-huh. You were not on. Was they finally answered my prayer of somebody do something to one of these kids. Oh, thank God. Yes. The kid through the spear or whatever, and he caught it. Oh, yeah.

Right back at him. I was like, yeah. I don't think it works that way, though, with a fucking cornstalk. That thing went right through him. That was like a spear made out of Adamantium for fuck's sake. That was kind of a cool scene too, you know, not for nothing when that news crew gets stuck in the corn and like... Oh, yeah. Like the corn just kills them.

You know those guys were fucked, right? Because they fucked with him like, hey man, you worked for the National Enquirer. Fuck you. You're not a real journalist. Ha ha ha. But yeah, but I've been saying. Yeah, but everything they were saying was true. It is true. But you knew they were getting set up to die.

That guy is kind of a piece of shit anyways. I'm not like team that guy. Well, yeah, he's like, what are they doing? Like stories on ghosts and monkey boy and shit like that? Yeah, Bat Boy and, you know, my Sasquatch lover and shit like that, you know? Yes. And he's dragging his poor Not Emilio Estavis son around. And then the other kid grabs his bag.

He goes and stands by a bus stop sign that looks like it's like 12 years old. Oh, yes. And then the shit comes around the little. fucking motor scooter and says, you may be here a while. The next bust is Wednesday. Ha, ha, ha, ha. That shit comes riding in like a dream come true.

I'll tell you what. I know. She had some great tips. She knew what she was doing. Was she under 18? Probably not. In the movie, she definitely was supposed to be. Guys, was it just me? Like I say, the one kid was not

Emilio Sviz. Didn't the bad kid kind of feel a little bit like not Justin Long? Didn't he kind of look like? He did have a young Justin Long or something like that. That kid gets it real bad too. Like the demon was like, oh shit, I'm a guy. And then the demon leaves him so that he can go through the fucking

through the wood chipper machine or whatever. You know what? I actually, I call me crazy. I thought that was a great effect. I did too. His face was kind of CGI and then it went to practical effects. I don't know. I had these negative thoughts about talking about it now.

I'm feeling like I had some fun with it. This is a great, so bad it's a good mood. man. It really was. What would you think about it, Lance? I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. It's a piece of shit. It's a horrible, horrible film. But I had fun watching it. Like you're saying, the special effects of the kids face, like, morphing, where it was like,

it turned into marshmallows and his cheek and shit like that. And then... Then you just had a straight-up demon face for a second. Had a demon face for a second, like totally changed. And then, like, you were talking about... out the corn stalk where the guy throws the cornstalk and it was like a spear made out of animantium or something like that where it went straight through him. I mean, you know, a movie this fucking horrible, how do you not love it?

And then the scenes in the church, when they were all in the church like, Shell, we had it by the river. He was digging the nose out of that one guy and he started bleeding on everybody. A little wooden dog. Oh, yes, I loved it. When the guy's nose started bleeding, that, that, that. part and then the old lady in the wheelchair. And the old man, I forgot about him too.

Yeah. The old man, they stab him with a bunch of needles. Remember, they keep stabbing with syringes? And he just wouldn't pass out. And I'm sure they were all full of like heroin or morphine or something, right? Was it this movie or the movie before where somebody's getting killed and the little girl with the dog pulls the string? Oh, no, that was this one. That was the old man.

After they stab him with all the syringes and then Mordecai come. up and gives them the knife. Yeah. They all throw their suckers at him that he gave them when he was there getting in the bus. They throw their suckers at him. And then she gives him, she puts hers in his mouth and then pulls the string on her doll and walks away. Gangster. Yeah, when they were in the church and he was cutting on the little wooden voodoo doll

and he would like cut at the nose and the voodoo doll, the wooden voodoo doll started bleeding. And then this guy was like, you know, standing here like this with blood squirting out of his nose and through his glasses and shit. It was just, I don't know, man. This was a fun movie tomorrow. I like that scene in the corn, too, where they have like the two kids, one from Hemingford and one from Gatlin,

and they cut their hands, and they're like, we are one. You're like, holy shit, they're spreading this shit. This shit's spreading like crazy. And speaking of Hemingford, if you read the Stephen King book, The Stand, or you watch the miniseries, you realize that Hemingford home

is the place where the old folks home was where Mother Abigail live. right so you're talking about literally like in the stand you're you're Stephen King does this right down the street yeah yeah right down the fucking street like the next street over the next town over was him did you guys felt like the whole storyline with the corn was extra the poisonous rotten corn oh I didn't yeah that was stupid that's like that kind of like it's in a like metaclorean area where I'm like I don't need you to explain the first because yeah we don't need that's in the blood like I don't want to hear that like oh

this mold was going and so it triggers kids really easy. I was like, ah, no. They saw the fucking demon. They all fucking fell into it. They all are on board. You know, I prefer that. I prefer to figure it out, though. Figured it out.

It causes hallucinations, especially in young kids. And then he just has that moment in young kids. Okay. So you're trying to take the series from being about, you know, demonology and the supernatural and now all of a sudden you're trying to scientifically explain it. Don't science it up. It's too goofy already. Total metaclorian, total metaclorian, guys.

You're right. You're right about that, Steve. I didn't like that. I didn't like that either. It's kind of ironic that. What was that guy's name? Red Bear? Oh, yes.

Yes. He was actually kind of cool. The fact that he got killed by a bone arrow was like, me. Maybe a little racist. I don't know. Like, wow, and the black guy dies first. You know, I mean, this movie is true. Oh, speaking to which, I can't wait to watch that movie,

they can't kill us all first or whatever. You do the one I'm talking about? The blackening. The tagline is they can't kill us all first. That's hilarious. I'm looking forward to that. I did notice that. I was like, damn, man, that guy's only been in a movie for 30 seconds,

and you already got it. Like, that's so fast. Stop driving through the corn. You ready for scores, guys? I think so, man. Steve, I think you're on a 10 at this one, right? No, this one I'm going to drop back down. I'm going to be at like a, I think I'm going to be at like a seven.

That's nice. That's good. Only because, you know, I was kind of running around a 5, 6, but then talking with you guys, like some of those kills are fun. And I love a good dummy shot. Like, you know, when Lopan gets it, when Lopan gets it in the alley, way and Big Trouble and Little China. That's like my favorite part of like any movie ever. Like, I love a good dummy shot. And that, that dummy goes through the fucking window on the wheelchair,

like slow motion head hatched. Like it is fucking fantastic. And I love the explanation. It's just this little remote. Like it is goofy. It does have some cool stuff. I do like that it ties in so well with the first movie time wise. So I'm going to bump it up a little bit. It's not terrible. It's not as good as the first one, but it's not, it's not the worst thing ever. So seven for me. All right. Good. Strong seven, man. That's what I give it the last movie. Brian? Yeah, I'm agree with Steve. This is a seven, seven out of ten. It was a fun movie, and it's makes it more fun of talking about it with you guys. And he's, and plus he's, he's, he's, Mike is no Isaac, but I thought he did his best with the movie he apparently in his mind thought he

was in. Well, whatever movie he was in, he fucking nailed it, right? You know? Man, as much fun as I had watching this movie and as much more fun as I had talking with you guys about it? Get up to this Lance.

Let's get honest. This was a three. I think it's because he hasn't seen the other ones. He doesn't know where we're going yet, so he's like, how can it get any worse? This is what we're going to do. When we're finally done with this retrospective, Lance, we're going to revisit your earlier scores and see if they change.

A retrospective on your scores. Okay. For now, it's a three. It's so bad it's good, but it's still bad. Any way you look at it, it's fucking bad. It's horrible. So it's a three, but fun to watch. So before we, before we, uh,

move on and get out of this podcast that we're trapped in, as we're apparently going to be trapped in the Children of the Corn Universe for quite some time. Any last words on stuff going on, Steve, with the geeks? No, I guess we just found out earlier tonight that Van Damme retrospective might be coming back. Nice, nice. If I can get Brian and there's a join around that, we'll finish that off. No, just chime in. You know, we get together and have a good time every week.

Our show's kind of changed to more of like a, we used to have a format and all this stuff, but we get on now and there's so many people that are on and just asking us questions as soon as we're on YouTube that we end up just going down rabbit holes and it's hard to stay on track. You know, we still try to touch on some basis. You know, we still like doing the toy box segment where we talk about any new collectibles and stuff like that. We've been picking up. Obviously, we've changed things up with the trailers and reviews and stuff.

It's trailer paloza, Steve. That name is, that name is pending approval. It has episodes next to it. We're working on it. But yeah, it's just a good time. We record every Saturday night at 8 Pacific. And we're usually on for an hour and a half to two hours, just having a good time. All right.

That's where we're at. And where can our listeners find you? Oh, just look at the geeks, geeks with a Z anywhere. You know, look it up on Apple Podcasts. We're there. Spotify were there. Look it up on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, the geeks, you'll find us. All right, cool.

So, as always, we want to thank you guys for listening to another episode of The Horror Returns. We would love to hear your feedback and ideas. I think you know where to reach us, The Horror Returns at gmail.com or just go to thehorrorreturns.com. And follow our social media, which Brian is in charge of.
