Regings victims, for those of you who delight and dread, who fantasize about fear, who glorify gore, 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, than horror.
Back everyone to The Horror Returns.
I'm Lance.
When me as always, my host, our co-hosts, Brian and Phillip.
What's up, guys?
What's up?
How's going?
Happy Thanksgiving to everybody.
The week after.
Yeah.
That's right.
You guys have a good time.
turkey day
It was decent
I mean
Didn't go nowhere
I rebuilt my smoker
And made a Wagyu
brisket
And it was
Fucking outstanding
I mean I don't know
How real wagyu it was
I got it from HV
And it was like 100 bucks
So
Not like legit wagyu
But uh
Right
But it was good
It was good
Yeah it came out awesome
I did that in Turkey
And that one came up
pretty good too. Was it a Wagyu turkey? No, it was just a turkey turkey,
okay. So they don't massage the turkeys and feed them milk, huh? No, but I'm
telling you, all right, brine that motherfucker, put it in water with a bunch of salt and
garlic and a bunch of shit in it, some brown sugar for like a day before you
smoke it. Smoke that sucker, pull it out at like 160, you're golden. Nice. We're
We're getting chilly down here in Florida, Brian.
How is it in Alaska?
Fuck you.
What do you mean, chili?
I'm wearing my,
my winter gear.
You want weather update?
The weather returns.
Come on.
Weather update.
It is a nice chili.
72?
38.
It's actually warm.
It's warm today.
I was going to say, it's a hot day.
No ice boogers.
yet, so that's plus.
Talk to me last
week when it was like
four.
Ouch.
I don't think I could survive that.
I think you might have cut out there.
There was only one number there.
Oh,
four.
I think I own
I own one pair of jeans
and two sweats, Brian.
Other than that, it's all shorts. I wouldn't make it,
man.
I wear shorts all the time.
You wear shorts all the time?
I feel like my body's built for warm weather.
I just can't do pants.
I mean, if I got somewhere that requires pants, I'll put on some pants.
But I can wear shorts all the time.
Yeah, there's a lot of those Midwest motherfuckers that are, you know, shorts and hoodies, you know.
That's what I'm wearing right now.
And flip-flops, right?
Yeah.
All right.
You guys are ready to get underway?
Yeah.
Let's go.
School of the week.
Who's up first?
I'll jump in
because I can actually think of one that I watched.
Asrael.
Okay.
Yeah, Samar Weaving Flick,
where she doesn't speak at all.
Or really, yeah, that was weird.
Make any noise.
Yeah, it was a weird movie.
Um, I don't know how I felt about it. I didn't hate it. I didn't, I didn't love it as much as I wanted to. Uh, but, uh, but it was still good. It was, it was worth to watch. Samara weaving does pretty awesome in it. Um, I didn't really hate anybody in it. I mean, you know, aside from the people that you're supposed to hate, but, but. Well, they were, they were doing their jobs, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, for, for, for, for a good reason. So the acting wasn't terrible. There was, there was, there was. There was.
There was a moment that was weird.
I hate to go into spoilers, but there was a moment that was weird with a guy that did talk,
and you were like, what are you fucking doing here?
It doesn't make any sense with the rest of the movie.
But it wasn't English, right?
Like, it was some weird.
Yeah, I don't know.
Like, I thought it was French.
I thought it was French at first, and I was like, what?
That's not right.
And then I don't think it was French.
I don't know what it was.
Porch piece?
Fuck, I don't know.
But, uh, but, uh,
but yeah overall definitely worth a watch
maybe not her best movie but uh
I liked it yeah yeah all right
as real what do you think Brian
yeah I agree it's not her best it's not a bad movie
she did awesome in it yeah it's just they could
maybe did a little bit more world building
because I know exactly what the scene you're talking about
when she gets picked up on on the road
yeah you're like where the fuck
this guy come from. You're just
expecting him to just be the
same, but then he just starts
yapping away, and you're just like, oh,
wait a minute. And like he has
no idea what the fuck is going on.
I got a little
I got an impression of maybe
they were going for a
what's that M. Night Shyamong movie?
The village?
Yeah.
Hmm.
I could see that. I was kind of
board.
I got it.
That's why that scene threw me off, man.
Like, because that truck rolls
up and I'm like, what?
Who is this guy and
how did he get here? Why is
he's from another fucking planet?
Yeah, he turns on the radio like
everything's okay. Yeah.
And it's obviously the very first
time that she's ever heard the radio.
Sorry, spoilers.
Yeah, it sounded like
definitely a village
moment, right? For sure.
Yeah, that's what I did.
Maybe, but there were, like, legit demons.
So I think it was supposed to be some post-rapture thing.
That's another problem that I had with it is they didn't really explain what was happening.
Maybe they were selected.
Maybe they were selected to contain what could possibly spread to the whole world.
Because, like, I read something right before I clicked on it, and it said something about it was like a post-rapture.
revelation story.
Nobody told that guy in the truck.
Yeah, no, definitely they didn't tell him.
Guess I say, what's going on?
But it was still good.
I didn't really understand the ending.
I didn't either.
Didn't get it.
But I don't hate it when they do those ambiguous endings.
Yeah.
so yeah
that's all right
all right
can I go Brian
if you want to
I'm going to give you guys
two guesses
this movie is huge at the box office
wicked I haven't
oh no I forgot about that movie
I haven't even
I haven't even seen Gladiator 2 yet
so that was an easy guess
but I'm fucking with you guys
that is not my cool of the week.
Okay, God damn it.
I enjoy musicals, right?
Like, I like old school musicals.
I love horror musicals in the apocalypse and all that.
This motherfucking movie started with singing two fucking minutes in and never let up.
I'm like, Jesus Christ, man, really?
Save me.
And it was two hours and 40 minutes.
And then at the end of, well, actually at the very beginning, it says,
Wicked Part 1.
So we're like, really?
We're doing this?
Well, I mean, but it's like a legit musical.
It's not like, oh, here's a movie that we turned into a musical.
I know, I know.
It's a musical that has always been a musical.
Dude, Jeff Goldblum couldn't say this.
I mean, he's awesome.
Yeah, it's like when they tried to make a movie out of cats.
Oh, God.
No, that was.
something else all together.
All right, my real cool of the week.
My real cool of the week.
So, Brian, I got turned on to, you were talking about a couple of things you'd seen.
So I watched an episode of the one, God damn it.
This is going to be a long night.
I'm on no sleep this week.
The movie with the videotapes, the creep tapes on Shutter.
So I checked that out.
I watched the first couple episodes, too.
It was pretty good.
I watched the first one.
Mike. It was cool, but I'm like,
you know what, this is going to be repetitive.
Like Brian said, it's basically, yeah, just him pulling out the videotape.
So I'm like, let me try another TV show on Shutter that Brian talked about.
Horror is greatest.
So I get about halfway through, and all of a sudden, Brian,
I hit this blind spot movie that I've always meant to see.
I've never gotten around to it.
It's called Race with the Devil from 1975.
Have you guys heard of this?
Yes, I have not seen it.
That show is very good for adding stuff to your list.
Sounds way better than a violin.
The fiddle.
That's a great point because I was like, okay, cool.
I've seen this movie.
I've seen this movie.
I've seen this movie.
And then like halfway through it, they're like,
they show like a couple of minutes of race with the devil.
It was in the segment, Brian,
about conspiracies, like small town conspiracies or something like that.
Oh, okay.
I think that's when they talked about it.
They were talking about all the tropes, horror movie tropes.
So I'm like, God damn it.
I stopped the first episode halfway through, and I'm like, I've got to cover this blind
spot.
Because I had heard about Race with the Devil on other podcasts.
So, you know, I found it through questionable means, because it's not.
streaming anywhere that I could find
and it is fucking glorious
1975 movie
you've got Sergeant Holka
from Stripes
you guys remember him?
Oh yeah
Sergeant Hulkca
and Peter
Fonda is the other actor in it
and they're traveling cross country
with their wives and they end up
they're going through Texas right
near San Antonio like they're showing
the Alamo and all this other stuff and
they end up seeing this accidentally, they're like in the wrong place, wrong time,
but they see this satanic ritual going on.
And basically, you realize about 30 minutes into the movie that the whole movie is about the entire state of Texas being a satanic cult.
Because no matter where they go in the state, try to get away from these fuckers,
they're right behind of the whole way.
It's like, one of the people in the group is like, is like, is she just crazy or is she,
really seeing weird shit.
And it's pretty clear at the end,
she's really seeing weird shit.
So,
absolute bad shit crazy movie.
You guys got to check it out.
We should probably cover it.
Maybe David Barta could recommend it for the podcast.
What do you think?
If we ever get a hold of them.
Well, I'm sure we could pair it with something.
I mean, shit, we're running out of movies.
All right.
David's struggling.
I did get in touch with David.
He is struggling for titles.
But there is a Hore Returns T-shirt, a Jasper Jenkins T-shirt on the way, Dave.
So I got you covered there, man.
But yeah, that'd be a good one.
You guys would fucking love it.
1975 car crashes everywhere.
Brian, no CGI fire.
Real fire.
Real car crashes.
That's what I'm saying.
That would have been really bad, like people standing out there with paper.
It'd be awful.
It was amazing.
Okay, my cool of the week, race with the devil.
What's you got, Brian?
Well, as promised, I'm doing my 25 days of Christmas.
I'm not doing no bullshit 31.
That's ridiculous.
I thought it was 12.
I told you I give you the full 25.
I'm not going past 25.
Wow.
Wow.
Christmas ends on the 25th.
Yeah, I should have gone 12.
So I'm going to be.
I'm not doing all, like I do 31.
I'm not doing all new ones.
I'm not going to kill myself that way.
Because we still need to give you the rest of our 31.
That's my fault.
Are there that many new ones or are they all like Lifetime movies?
That's why I'm not doing.
There's actually a Kansas,
there's actually a Kansas City Chief's Christmas movie this year, guys, on Hallmark.
Yeah, I won't be watching that.
A Star Wars Christmas.
That's right.
That was good, though.
Started my list with Deer Santa, the new Jack Black comedy on Paramount Plus.
Oh, I was curious.
Not good.
Watched it with the daughters.
All the stuff with the kids.
She was kind of cringing, looking away.
Oh, yeah.
Rough.
Kid telling me kids talk like that.
Right.
And how creepy was Jack Black?
wearing spandex hanging out with the little kids, Brian.
He was hamming it up.
The basic premise of the movie is this kid
who's dumb as shit doesn't know how to spell.
Instead of writing Dear Santa, he writes Dear Satan.
And the letter gets to Jack Black.
He comes up. Basically, you got three wishes.
After your three wishes, I own your soul.
And then that's the movie.
They keep casting Jack Black.
Satan. Like, he is
Satan's funny sidekick.
Brian, the twist is he
is, right?
No spoilers.
Sorry, sorry.
I did it. I did it to
Post Malone has a cameo.
Post Malone has a
cameo in it. I liked all that stuff with him.
Because he always seems like a fun guy.
Yeah. He does.
He just looks like he fell asleep.
to party.
He actually was a little bit more animated in this one.
Right.
And the downside is, I don't know if you guys know, Kyle Gass.
Yeah.
He was in the movie for like two minutes.
Which is a damn same.
Wow.
I mean, at least he was there.
I'd love to see another Janacious D movie, though.
Oh, absolutely.
We might even be doing...
One of the first movies sometime down the road.
I got it.
David Ford, are you listening?
We've never covered that movie, have we?
No, we haven't.
Awesome.
That's one of my favorites.
And the next two movies, just rewatches,
National Apple's Christmas Vacation,
and Barry Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas.
Classic.
Now, that's a musical.
Because it has like one tiny musical number.
in it.
Yeah, we did watch...
With the tree.
We did watch Home Alone, but that's all we've gotten through on Christmas
movies so far.
Always a classic.
That's a start.
But I give my cool of the week to Star Wars Skeleton
Crew.
Oh, I was hoping you would say that.
I can't wait to see it.
Checked out the first episode.
Now...
What is that one even about?
It...
The basic premise is it starts on this new Republic City with these little kids.
They're like in school.
Basically, you have to, they're getting ready to take this exam to place them in whatever position their exam tells them to.
So basically you're pre.
Like give a virgin?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And this kid, he wants to be a Jedi.
He kind of like, they're asking them.
They're asking the kids, you know, what do you want to be when you grow up?
He says, you know, I want to say people want to be a Jedi.
And they're just like, you idiot, stupid kid, you know.
Okay.
And he finds what he thinks is a Jedi temple and him and some other kids go exploring it.
And it turns up not to be a temple.
It's a ship.
And, of course, as kids do, they touch stuff.
ship takes off on a pre-set course
and that's the first episode
it's just like a bunch of kids
yeah it's very um kids on bike
goonies okay
which could be fun and it could be bad
based on how the kids acted
they were fine so far
in the first episode
I know Jude Law is in the series
he plays a Jedi
I don't know who his character is.
He might be a new character.
He might be character that was mentioned that, I don't know.
I was like, oh, Jude Law would make a good Jedi.
I like that.
And I know the guy that directed the three Tom Holland Spider-Man movies is the series,
what do you call it?
Showrunner.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
That's promising, then.
Two episodes are out.
I only seen the first one.
liking what I'm seeing so far, like I said, it's very...
Nice.
Yeah.
Jedi Goonies.
But it all take...
Longs it's done well.
Bad turn, depending on how the kid's acting is.
How many episodes are up now?
Two.
Okay.
And you've kind of just started.
Were there like 10 episodes or something like that in the season?
I think there's going to be eight.
I don't think it's going to be a long out season, and they're less than an hour.
I think they're going to do what a lot of the show's been doing.
Like, the episodes could be like 40, 50 minutes, or it could be 30.
That's cool.
So, that's my cool of the week.
Still haven't seen the acolyte.
Yeah, I know, dude.
I'm so much about Star Wars.
But I haven't heard anything at all about that one.
So it does sound interesting.
interesting. Yeah. I was hoping you would say it was good, Brian. So I'm happy to hear that. At least the beginning is good, huh?
Yeah. That's potential. All right. I guess that brings us to horror headlines brought to you by Brian. Take it away, man.
All right. We're going to start with some TV news. MGM Plus has renewed from for a fourth season.
That's the show I need to get back on because I really enjoyed the first season.
Never seen it.
I know.
I tapped out early.
I get to admit.
A show I talked about a few weeks ago, Sweet Pea, where the girl from Fallout fantasizes about murdering people.
Oh.
I forgot about that.
That's on Stars.
It's already renewed for a second season.
Huh.
Oh, that's the other one you told me to watch that I need to check out.
Yeah.
I was trying to think if I had watched it or not.
You got Peacock, right?
Yeah.
Check out hysteria.
Okay.
Set in like the 80s, Satanic Panic era type stuff.
Oh, cool.
Bruce Campbell's in it.
So, friend of the show.
You know Bruce.
Yeah.
You know Bruce.
The man.
The legend.
Let's see.
Martin Starr joins the cast of the Hand and Rocks the Cradles remake.
Oh, God.
Does that worry you, Lance?
I mean, he's pretty good, I guess.
I would have to admit he's pretty good in Tulsa King.
Because he starts out as like, well, you know, Brian, you've seen it.
It's small-time dealer, or not a dealer even, right?
Just running a legitimate pot store.
And then he gets into the mafia.
but like every single fucking time they pull a job or a sons of anarchy style like baseball bat battle or something like that he's like he rolls his eyes and says
I guess I'm in guys whatever so if you can picture Martin star philip yeah yeah yeah I feel like oh okay I kind of like that guy that happens to him because he just goes along with everything yeah he likes the assignment uh let's see
Mike Flanagan's The Life of Chuck, his Stephen King adaptation, gets a May 30th release date.
Finally, seemed like that movie would have come out by now.
We're talking about it like at least a year, right?
And his wife is super fucking hot, by the way.
I saw her being interviewed on that horror was the greatest and don't blame him a bit.
Stephen King?
No, Mike Flanagan's wife.
Oh, okay.
You just realized she's hot now?
I mean, I've noticed it, but the way that, I don't know if it was the way she was sitting or like the miniskirts she was wearing when she was sitting in the chair being interviewed.
I think she was the hottest in the fall of the house of Usher when she had the silver.
Oh, is it that one?
That's right.
Oh, yeah, dude, she's smoking.
I mean, she's older, but damn, she still got it.
Let's see.
Have you guys seen, I believe it's.
Swedish or Norwegian?
I can't remember
the 2020
the trip.
Yes.
They're both right around there.
I thought you were going to do a Swedish chef
impression there, Brian.
No, we leave you all the impressions.
Okay. Now that's
Philip with his honor.
Yeah, no, that's a bad idea.
But yes, I will
break out with a random impression
every once in a while.
You got to see the movie The Trip with Newbyor Pace.
They are remaking it.
And so far, pretty good cast so far.
James McAvoy?
No, Lance.
And not Dane to Hunt either.
All right.
Samar Weaving.
Karen Gillen,
Juliette Lewis,
Timothy Oliphant, and Jason Segal.
Oh, I like that.
I like that a lot.
They're going all out.
Yeah.
And I believe the basic.
premise of the movie is a couple goes to a cabin to reconcile their relationship, but they
really plan on killing each other. In the middle of them killing each other, I believe two
other killers happen to break into the cabin or something like that. Yep, that's what I seem to
recall. What point in ink. A lot of people trying to kill each other. So, I like the cast. I mean, I
I kind of have to watch it with that.
No shit, right?
I don't dislike anybody on that cast.
Yeah.
I think that that's great.
That's perfectly casted, right?
Speaking of movies, Lance can't wait to watch.
I know what you did last summer.
Legacy sequel has started production.
Who gives the shit?
No kidding.
I guarantee it would be better than I'd swim.
Okay.
We'll let Pedro.
I'm sure we're going to let Pedro talk about night swim
when he comes on to do his top and bottom movies with us.
To be fair, I'm not a huge fan of the original either.
I thought it was stupid when it came out.
My biggest problem with it, I think they miscast.
What's her name?
Big Boobes.
Jennifer Love You?
Sarah Michelle Kelly.
Michelle Gellard.
She should have met the lead.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, and I love me some Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Don't get me wrong.
Oh, yeah.
That's the only reason I watch that movie.
Fair enough.
Fair enough.
I've got some more news for Lance.
Thanksgiving 2.
Okay.
We'll begin filming in March.
Why?
Because people other than,
you really liked that movie.
Actually, yeah, no, that was another one of my cool of the weeks.
My daughter and I on Thanksgiving Day with the whole family here, she was like, let's watch a movie.
And I was like, okay.
And she's like, let's watch that one.
And I was like, okay.
Okay.
So we watched the Thanksgiving slasher movie on Thanksgiving in front of the rest of the family.
And my daughter loved it.
The rest of the family, not so much.
Not so much.
I had a blast because of that.
I can't get my daughter to watch it.
She's the lead actress, Addison Ray.
Oh, yeah.
She's not a fan of hers.
Well, she's in it for a minute, didn't she?
My daughter, she's not a fan of you.
She's not a fan of Jenna Retega.
She won't watch shit she's in.
Oh, come on.
The only thing she watched was Scream because she loves the franchise.
Yeah.
She won't watch a second of Wednesday, even though I said it's not bad.
she's like doing it.
And they're coming out.
I still haven't watched Wednesday.
Well, season two is right around the corner, isn't it?
Yeah.
And we're going to leave off of Screen 7 cast news.
Uh-oh.
It is on.
It's on again.
Okay.
Isabel May has been cast as Sidney Prescott's daughter.
Who is that?
I believe she is on one of those Yellowstone spin-off series.
18 something.
I was going to say you're going to get specific to that.
The main one that was telling the whole story
from the beginning?
She looks like she's a young blonde girl.
Yep, that's her.
That's her.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah, I can see that.
She had a pretty good role in that show.
I don't want to spoil the ending,
but it's not a happy ending for her or anyone else.
It's rough life, guys, trying to
Settle America and taking away from the native.
She will be playing Sidney Prescott's daughter, playing her boyfriend is Cassie and Bilton, never heard of him, and playing her best friend is Celeste O'Connor, which we've seen her.
We've seen Celeste O'Connor in the Ghostbusters movies, the Finn Wolf Hard love interest.
Huh. Okay.
Love interest in afterlife, and they brought her back as a secret ghostbuster in training.
and the next one.
Yeah, I know who you're talking about, but still not
huge names, right?
Yeah.
Well, you still got
Neff Campbell
and rumored
Courtney Cox, even though she said
she's not received a script.
What about the cheerleader?
Isn't she coming back?
That's up yet.
Probably not.
I think Kirby's coming back, and I know
Patrick Dempsey is probably coming
back.
Oh, God.
He's the husband.
Okay.
Makes sense.
I'm only interested because they gave the creator of the screen series Kevin Williamson directing duties.
So, interested to see how he handles it.
You know we're all going to watch it, Brian.
You're going to make us.
You have to.
The daughter's going to make me.
I mean, we do have to.
We've seen them all.
and that's the news
all right
Philip you ready to go down to that old
trailer park down in Texas
where everybody's a Satan worshipper
in the trailer parks
well actually that would make sense
there's an awful lot of crime there
I live next to a trailer park that exploded
what
is a hell of a drug
The lilywanka detail
Is this real Brian?
Are you fucking with us?
No, seriously.
I lived in a...
I lived in a...
It was a bunch of apartment buildings
and then not too far off was a trailer park.
And then you just heard this loud explosion.
That's what it was, Philip.
That's a thing that happens, like...
It was...
A relatively regular basis, yeah.
Yeah, it was a...
Explosion was so bad that they had to basically demolish the entire trail apart.
Wow.
That's worse than a tornado coming through, huh?
It looked like a tornado came through.
We shouldn't be laughing.
Exploding myth labs.
And yet we are.
That's funny.
Nobody died.
Amazing.
Ah, nobody died.
Okay.
Nobody died.
So on that note.
Brian is going to bring us big, the small, and sometimes the very, very weird.
What is our first trailer to talk about tonight, Brian?
Our first and only trailer that I can find was a new movie coming to Shutter, I believe,
a horror comedy called Bloody Axe Wound.
I like the title.
That sounds kind of disgusting.
What did you guys think of Bloody Axe Wound?
And I believe the cast says
Negan is in this movie somewhere.
He showed up at the beginning.
Yeah, he was like there in a free frame or something.
Oh, he had a couple hours of spare during time.
Probably.
What did you think, Philip?
I don't hate it.
I mean, it looks like an interesting take on the slasher thing.
So I guess this girl's dad, like they live in a fucking slasher world.
So her dad is some mutant slasher guy.
And the mom is a rotting corpse sitting at the dinner table, you know, a la psycho.
And so she's got this like coming of age thing going like with her dad where he's telling her that she needs to follow in the family business and kill these teenage kids.
because he's a slasher guy.
Right.
And then she starts making friends with these teenage kids,
and maybe he doesn't want to do it anymore.
So it looks like an interesting story,
but that seems to be the gist of it that I got from the trailer,
which I'm pretty sure I just outlined the whole plot of the movie.
So there's that.
Maybe, maybe.
What did you think, Lance?
It looks fun, man.
I'm like, yeah, I was like you guys.
I was like, is that fucking Negan in the beginning?
But they literally show them it only in the beginning.
And then it's a bunch of unknowns.
But it looks fun.
And it looked like a flashback scene or some shit.
Well, you know what I'm worried about?
I'm worried it's going to get really repetitive, right?
Because it's like the first 30 seconds of the trailer I was totally hooked.
And I'm like, oh, cool.
This may be, because you guys remember how much I love shaky shivers.
Like a super low budget.
Nobody, you know, in it.
Nobody saw this coming.
And the guy that put on the werewolf mask and got shot at the beginning, I was like,
okay, this is off kilter and I love it.
And I thought, this may be that movie, but then I was thinking, oh, fuck, it's starting
to look really repetitive here.
And I just hope we don't get into that where it's like, becomes a slog after an hour and 20 minutes.
But I'll give it a chance.
It looks cool.
And especially with Sunshutter, because we've all got it.
So why not?
Yeah, it reminded me of, I can't.
my mind's going foggy right now
that that movie where the guy was doing a documentary
about him being a slasher
killer. Vernon, rise of Vernon
Leslie.
Leslie. Where did Vernon Wells?
It kind of reminded me of that
without the documentary stuff.
Yep, I totally see that now.
Yeah, but this seems like a little more fun and campy.
Trying to pull up.
Yeah, not a just, not a
serious maybe, right?
Jeffrey Dean Morgan is in it.
Well, yeah, I mean, he was in the trailer for
a half a second.
I'm trying to see how much he's in it.
He's Todd's killed.
They ought to take his real name
away and just call him Neegan.
Because every fucking role he's in, he's just
Negan being Negan. Yeah.
Well, to be fair, I mean,
he was playing himself when he played Negan.
That's the same role he always plays.
The director, Matthew, John Lawrence, Lance.
You remember we watched that movie, Uncle Peckerhead?
I do.
I actually do remember that.
Yeah, he directed that.
Okay.
Well, it might have promise then.
Yeah, that was kind of fun.
And it's a fun name.
I do remember that.
I'm laughing way too hard at that.
That was funny.
No, dude, you're supposed to.
You're supposed to.
With a name like that, if you don't laugh, something's wrong with you.
I hadn't heard anybody say peckerhead in 20 years.
Uncle, peckerhead.
Yeah.
All right.
Bloody Axe wound is actually getting a VOD release first before Shutter on December 27th this month.
Huh.
Not just in time for Christmas.
By the time we watch it, we'll probably be done with Christmas, right?
It'll be on Shudder.
Yeah.
our last movie of the year
is actually the last
theater movie and it would be
Nostratu
which I heard is getting
great reviews.
I hope so.
Lance also does
impressions everybody.
I wonder what he's laughing at.
This is comedy.
It doesn't
translate well over the audio show,
but you know.
Well, that's all right.
It'll be up on YouTube.
That's, there you go.
Go to YouTube, folks.
Come for Lance's impressions and accents.
All right.
That was our last and only trailer.
All right.
I guess that means it's my turn.
Where we go to listener feedback.
This week we shine the podcast spotlight on the Chainsaw Girls.
The Chainsaw Girls is a horror movie review podcast hosted by professional wrestling
professional wrestlers
Alyssa Kay and Laura
also known as Allie or The Bunny
where they dissect and discuss
various horror films with a fun
sometimes comedic approach often
focused on lesser known or cult
classic titles. That
sounds awesome. Do you know who these girls are?
I kind of know Allison Kaye but I'm more
familiar with Allie, the bunny.
Very easy on the eyes when she wears it.
little kind of goth bunny costume.
I can imagine.
And I am.
Makes you want to do the bunny hop, huh?
I'm telling you.
Let's see.
In regards to our Facebook posting of Jessa Flux,
Mike Batchelor says, hey,
Colin Kirsten, there's a future
Mrs. Kirsten.
I bet there is.
Some 2B Tuesday's love up there.
In regards to Repo, the genetic opera.
A musical, Brian.
A musical, Brian.
I've seen it.
Second out.
Sabrina L. Vorman says,
Classic.
I agree.
That's a good one.
Abatable.
It's no Anna in the apocalypse, but, you know.
You know what, that one was a lot of fun.
That was.
It was.
aren't you guys glad that
Lenny Lingston or whatever made you watch it
I know
You don't know your friend's name?
I forgot it man
I thought it was a Swedish cousin
In regards to
Tobey Tuesday's Night Beast episode
Mike Batchelor says
We're not allowed to talk about flannel
It'll upset Nottom Selleck
not himself.
Okay.
Yeah, call in and explain that one,
Batch. Or don't call in.
Well, just come on the show with us.
We need a batch on here.
Has Batch ever been on the show with us, Brian?
I'm trying to remember.
Yeah, he's done a...
It's been a long fucking time, huh?
Dahlman.
He came on that house.
Doll man. Jesus Christ.
Wow.
What movie that was.
With Tim Thomerson.
The full moon.
doesn't mean anything to me at all.
Okay.
In regards to Jacks,
starring the upcoming Et Gine film,
Stephen Loblad says
this might actually work.
And it might. I've seen the pictures.
I'm a believer.
I'm sort of excited about it.
I am, too.
When you do the comparison pictures,
he looks just like the guy.
It's just hope his acting doesn't
fuck it up.
So Brian is, when is the, how long end of the movie do you give it till he says, for the club?
Oh, it's a series of it's.
How shitty is his accent going to be is really the question.
It'll be the Jack's accent because that's literally the only American accent he can do.
Ever, I swear, ever since I found out it was the final season of Sonsa Anarchy when they were doing my interviews with the actors after every episode.
Yeah.
And that's when I found out.
was British.
Yeah.
I swear I hear the British in him when I rewatch Sons Anarchy.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
It's like when he like gets like excited or yells or something or dramatic.
Yeah.
Like I didn't, I didn't, I didn't notice anything super weird at first when I was watching.
And I was like, ah, well, he talks a little different.
That's okay.
Everybody talks a little different.
Right.
But then, yeah.
After I realized that he was British, I was like, oh, he just really.
really sucks at this.
All right.
In regards to the Nospharatu poster, Thomas K.S. Wake says,
why is there an Oreo behind Orlock?
Hmm.
Oreo Orlock.
Wanted to check that out.
Oh, conspiracy.
Oh, conspiracy.
Ah.
Hmm.
They made a deal with the devil when they made a deal with the devil when they made a deal with,
Coca-Cola.
In regards to Texas chainsaw
2021, that was bad, I'm sorry.
Dylan Self says
How hard is it to make a good Texas
chainsaw movie? It's not hard, yet
they keep screwing it up.
O'ee.
Yeesh.
No mercy.
Okay.
I didn't think that was bad.
It wasn't horrible.
Well, in the scheme of things,
but like,
had that been the only one,
the only sequel?
Right.
But yeah, in comparison
to the rest of the really shitty ones.
Right. There have been a few, right?
Yeah.
Better than, what was it, leather face?
Yeah.
The young, good-looking guy was leather-faced?
Careful.
We interviewed the writer, so.
I think I already pissed him off
on Facebook one time.
Uh-oh. Okay.
So, blast away.
Everyone's a critic
In regard to the Gremlin's
Don Lowry says one of my favorite
Christmas movies even though the director says
It's not question mark
Definitely one I watched on a loop as a kid
Such a classic
I'm gonna say it's a Christmas movie
It counts
Christmas music Christmas decorations
Christmas story about Santa Claus
The father dressing up like Santa Claus
And breaking his neck in the chimney
right and the Grimlins singing Christmas carols
yeah
Christmas oh that's true that's true
I love you work Joe Dante but you are full of shit
Christmas movie definitely
it counts it goes on the list
in regards to Nightmare
Nightmare on Elm Street fan poster
Heather Ashley says as soon as I noticed the empty coffee pot
it was a win for me great artwork
I saw that that's a great poster
A lot of attention to detail on that poster.
Nice.
Smile 2.
Christopher Charles King said this movie was ridiculously good.
Agreed.
I liked it, dude.
I actually rewatched it because I took advantage of all the Black Friday deals for streaming services.
I was getting streaming services for like $2.
Oh.
You better cancel before they go up to $200.
I say, that was good idea.
Not to get off the rails, but the good, the best one I got was because my family watches a lot of shows on Stars.
Stars is 1099 a month.
Stars is mad ass, dude.
On Black Friday, I got Stars for 1099 for the year.
Oh.
What?
Well, you fucking asshole.
You didn't text me and tell me that.
Come on, man.
No, you got.
Killing me, Smalls.
I don't have stars.
That's the one I don't have.
I was going to get it.
It was like 20 bucks a month that I said,
eh, it's all right.
Hey, some people still have some Cyber Monday sales going.
So you may want to check it out.
If you don't see stars for 1099 a year, please let me know.
Yeah, okay.
Please.
Well, damn, Black Friday is a day to buy streaming services.
If it's still there, go look on Hulu.
Okay.
Oh, do add-ons.
And that's where I found it.
I've got Hulu, so I will check that out as soon as we're done recording.
But I forgot what I was talking about.
Oh, I rewatch Smile 2.
Smile 2.
It's in my top 10.
I'm going to say it right now.
Her performance was fantastic.
Yeah.
Especially that scene where they're doing a flashback of the car wreck and she's
hanging upside down and just her crying.
I knew you were going to say that.
kind of up there with recent cries like Florence Pugh and Bid Samar or
help me out Lance Hereditary.
Oh, Tony Collette.
Tony Collette, those, those cries are up there for me because I actually felt what they were
feeling in that moment.
Yeah, it was just very emotional.
It was a really good movie.
And I was so fucking worried, but I was worried about the first one.
But the same director, we should have known, right?
And I heard somebody in our Facebook, on our Facebook page suggested a good idea for the third one that it'd be a prequel to the second one.
And we see the cop what he went through for the week.
Okay.
The one in the beginning of two.
At the very beginning in the first scene where he was going after the mafia guys.
Yeah.
Okay.
The drug dealer randomly showed up trying to buy drugs.
Yeah, yeah.
Because he's, I can't, Kyle Galdner, he's starting to be a, he's a good actor.
I like him.
So, yeah, that'd be an idea for a third one.
It would be cool.
I'd watch that.
Better than it had any business being.
I'm positive the director is listening to us right now.
Parker fan is a big fan from what I understand of the horror returns.
Yeah, we just need a sound bite, which we didn't get from Nick Demichie.
when we interviewed him and we're doing
late phases next week, but
I digress. We got a lot
of good stories from Nick. Yes,
we did. What a guy. What a
fucking guy. Yeah, for sure.
In regards to prey, David
Bartas says, hoping for a sequel, this is
an awesome addition to the Predator catalog.
There is, right? Agreed.
Sequel to Prey's coming.
Yeah. And we got Predator Badlands,
which is already filming
and there's a third
Predator movie. They're going big.
Oh, wow.
The Predator franchise.
Yeah, time to bring it back.
I think the same guy that did prey is
kind of spearheading the whole thing.
That's cool.
He did the first really good one in a long time, so.
Let's see.
In regards to the Terrifier franchise,
Abrin Sullivan says,
honestly, I wasn't into Terrifire films,
all three of them.
I did watch them.
It was a mistake.
Ouch.
Oh, Lance, you didn't put the one conversation on here?
No, I didn't want to go too far down the rabbit hole.
Okay.
You get it handy?
No, I don't.
But that's the kind of debate I like to see in our Facebook group.
There was no personal attacks, just somebody that was upset with the
killing of children
and Terror Fire 3 and then people
were just kind of coming at him like that didn't even
show it it was off screen
this movie did this
and you called a class it was kind of
right well
a good debate
obviously if they're killing a child
in a movie it's meant to make an impact
and something like this I think
it makes sense that that was
also said there was like it was
wow they did it to
get a response and they got a response
of you
That's true.
No low blows, so that's, you know, that says a lot for our community.
But yeah, definitely not a movie for everybody, but if you're like a huge horror buff,
this is immediately a cult classic.
Yeah, you probably should have put it in news.
If anybody missed Terror Fire 3 in theaters, it will be in theaters Christmas Eve.
Oh, nice.
That makes sense.
That'll be fun.
See, my daughter is a huge fan.
You ought to take her for Christmas Eve, man.
I know, I bet she'll want to go.
I'll bet you will now.
If he can find it close to you out there in the outskirts of Galveston.
Does your son still like, no?
Yeah, no, he's not as big of a horror fan.
My daughter is like a little mini-me.
He's a little bit like my wife.
Yeah, I'm just figuring out my daughter.
She likes horror, but she doesn't like gore.
Yeah.
So the Terrifier and...
Yeah.
The more extreme, stabby, stabby stuff in the screen,
the newer screen movies is probably the most she'll deal with.
Yeah.
Well, but that's kind of the point of the Terrifier franchise
is that it's extreme.
Yeah.
You know?
She won't be watching Terrifier 3 or the substance of her.
which I also rewatch the substance.
A lot of people have.
I still need to watch that one.
That's on a lot of best of list for sure.
Yeah, I got to watch it before we do our top ten.
Demi Moore kind of making a comeback with that movie.
Okay.
I'm hearing an Oscar talk, actually.
Which you don't hear too much with the horror movie.
Yeah, I mean, maybe for the director, I don't know, for Demi.
she she was good in it i kind of like the other the younger well spoil it the other actress in the movie
margaret quali yeah i liked her performance check it out phil okay yeah it is like it's definitely on my list
i just hadn't run into it yet it's like two and a half hours long though oh all right well that's right
but honestly i i didn't feel like i didn't feel like it was two and a half hours when i was watching it
I can see that.
Speaking of which right here,
the substance, Evan Sappian says,
Best Horror Flick of 2024.
I'm going to have to watch it.
Philip.
And we got Jaws.
Bailey Gianni says,
besides the ending of the first Harry Potter film,
Jaws was the first major blockbuster movie
that I saw that scared me.
Because I thought about how shark attacks
really do happen in real life.
That's Harry Potter film.
I know.
That's weird.
But we had a nice debate.
Brian, we had a nice debate on Jaws too in the group, but I didn't.
I put it all in the notes.
But yeah, dude, we're getting a lot of people joining in the Facebook talks.
We really appreciate it.
I love having you guys.
Join in the fun.
Sorry, if we read it all, it'd be a binge cast times two each week.
Can't do it.
And there's been a lot of terrified.
three feedback on there.
And smile too.
Smile to.
I had to leave out a lot of smile two feedback, unfortunately.
All right.
Well, that's it for listener feedback this week.

So the original street trash, which I had never seen, so this will be fun.
Same here, Blindspot.
From 1987.
I don't need this.
Are you tired of the same old routine?
My wife, my...
Busting your hump
And getting nowhere.
This just ain't my day.
The boss, is he always on your back?
Nice, my ass belongs in your chair, not in your lap,
which is where you keep trying to put it.
You got to...
The wife, you know?
And the kids.
Is that right?
They never listened.
I hate to see him pissing his life away
in the goddamn computer.
Do you ever feel like forgetting the whole thing?
You think I got it easy?
Well, now you can.
A liquor store owner sells alcoholic beverages to homeless people, unaware of what bottles actually contain.
A toxic brew.
Well, that just sounds like a liquor store.
Director is J. Michael Murrow, also known for episodes of Shameless and Longmire.
Writers are J. Michael Muro with Roy.
a from kiss
from kiss
uh i guess so uh
vick notto uh bronzen
was cast a day before
principal photography commenced
less than 12 hours
i didn't he says
uh i didn't know what the hell i was doing he said
uh nor did i ever understand who bronson was
i did a scene i did scene by scene
not even knowing what the movie was about i didn't read the script
until three months after I was wrapped.
I still don't know who Bronson was.
That's great.
Now, that's trivia.
That's trivia.
Mike Lackey,
who starred in the film as well as doing makeup,
also created the penis.
It was just fun.
That was a sentence that I would read.
He said they made three different sizes.
The little one,
the pecker,
one, the poker, and
the big one, the backer.
It's an interesting movie, guys.
Lance, you want to start us off on street
trash? Yeah, first time
watch. This is fucking
amazing. This movie is so
fucking awesome. I just don't know where to begin.
I'm like, I'm sounding like Nez.
Like every other movie he sees
is either one on ten or ten.
on 10. And this is, I'm not going to give it a 10 on 10, but I'm going to, I'm going to use a Nazism here. This movie was fucking awesome. I loved it. The political incorrectness, the cheesy makeup, like where they had dirt on their faces that you could tell was just like black face paint. Yeah. That's some good looking homeless folks. Oh my God. Well, not the, not the chick of the main dude from Vietnam. She looked like fucking trash warmed over, right?
She looked really nasty.
Yeah.
You know what I'm talking about?
She found meth pretty early, I guess.
You know, like missing all her teeth and shit.
But yeah, dude, that was fucking amazing.
It was, I was not expecting this.
I've always heard of street trash.
I've meant to watch it.
Never got around to it.
That viper alcohol that the Jewish dude was selling out of the...
See, he got his liquor store.
And the guy walks up and says, you know, hey, you know, you're a Jew.
He says, it's a dollar a bottle because he finds the box of it.
And he says, hey, you're a Jew.
Aren't you guys supposed to want money or something?
That's like, that's just the beginning of the political incorrectness in this movie.
This, this, it couldn't be, you know what?
This is, this is a movie that, sorry, Lloyd Kaufman, we love you.
We love trauma films.
But I was just thinking the whole time I was watching this.
This was a movie you wish you had made, Lloyd.
This is a movie you wish had been a trauma movie.
I mean, this is just, it was so much fun from start to finish in the penis scene, the penis football scene.
You're talking about it at the end of where they're throwing it and trying to do a touchdown.
And they got that character at the very beginning with a purple hat that's running around that's like so fucking fast nobody can catch him.
It's just like, and it's in New York City for fuck's sake, which everybody knows like in the late 80s, like New York City was the trash capital of the world, right?
like homeless people everywhere
and just, you know,
porno stores and liquor stores
and just a den of sin, right?
Nothing but vice, you know, wasn't
what it is now.
So it's just a fun movie.
I'm incredibly impressed with this.
I'm super surprised.
I loved it as much as I did,
but I'm glad I finally saw it.
So I'll pass the proverbial hat
to the next guy,
but so much fun watching this.
Like, I'm ready to go watch you again right now.
All kidding, aside, I really have.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
All right.
Not what I expected.
Brian, what do you think?
I agree with almost everything Lance said, but I do have my issues.
Oh, okay.
What the fuck was the story?
Who cares?
There was so many.
I care.
It's my review, my time.
I care.
Fair enough.
There was so many signs.
stories and side characters being introduced.
I was losing track of what the main
storyline was, but I do agree with you, Lance.
I do love the political incorrectness.
At the same time, they're also kind of giving you
a little message in there.
The practical effects were really fun,
just the way everything would bubble up.
Because you can tell
Belues
filled up with stuff that were
supposed to be boils on
the skin. I thought those were a lot of fun.
Yeah, those are kind of great.
I could have did without
the applied gang rape
and the necrophilia.
It was too much for me.
Yeah, for sure.
They definitely...
The pale, huh?
I do appreciate...
I do appreciate it a little far
a couple scenes. I do appreciate it and show the gang rave even though you knew it happened.
Right.
And they had to make the fat boss guy a little bit more discussing after he tried to force himself on his employee.
Right.
He finds a dead body and he's just like, oh.
And then he's just a chance.
Like, what is going on?
This is a movie.
Lloyd Kaufman, Uncle Lloyd wishes he made.
that's true but with all that aside uh this was also guys the first watch for me it's been on the list
for for a long time i'm glad i watched it it is the movie i will rewatch but maybe i need to rewatch it
because i just couldn't pinpoint what yeah let's do a commentary yeah let's do a commentary
David Marta?
This can be your commentary.
I don't even know how much of a story there actually was.
It was really just a cocaine-fueled.
I know.
And viper-fueled.
Biper-fuel.
You got a crazy Vietnam guy having flashbacks.
Right.
Yeah, that was crazy.
Human femur bone into a dagger.
Yeah.
You got the two, you got the main character and his
somehow younger brother
that they're supposed to be
brothers living with the
one black dude
that's stealing chicken
from the gross
but don't chicken in his pants
it's just
it's just so many characters
are introduced
and then you got to cop
who I wasn't even sure if he was
a fucking cop for a minute because he's just
opening fire first and asking
questions later and challenging people to
would you rather shoot me or would you
die by combat or something shit or whatever he said
that's the fuck is going on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And the
fucking mafia dude that's not a mafia dude and then the guy that he's
working for him. Not Daniel LaRuso.
Yes, not Daniel Laruso. That guy.
I kind of love that guy in the whole movie
just because he had this, like, that
monotone mafia voice the whole time.
And he had a cane.
That was the first thing that popped in my head.
It was like, is this Ralph Macho's uncle or something?
It might be.
It might be.
We didn't cover that in trivia, but I'm sure there's a lot of trivia
attached to this movie.
But besides all the downpoints, I said,
the movie is a lot of fun,
and it definitely deserves the cult classic stamp.
yeah i'll uh i'll definitely give you that it definitely gets a cult classic stamp um i don't know if i enjoyed
it as much as you guys did but uh it was it was it was fun um yeah it was a little ridiculous
and and you're right i definitely got a trauma feel from it uh oh yeah what i was gonna say
but it was it was better than terra firmer nez yeah but then yeah i agree because you said this is
This is the Lloyd Kaufman movie he wished he made.
I like that.
A hundred percent makes sense.
I was like, oh, yeah, you're right.
But, yeah, it wasn't bad.
It was definitely worth a watch.
And I'm glad that I watched it.
It was very, I want to say artistic, but I think it was just cocaine chaos.
I'm pretty sure.
I'm pretty sure is what made this movie.
But it was fun.
Scores. Lance, what do you think?
8 out of 10.
All right.
That definitely implies cult status.
Right?
Yeah. Can't wait to watch it again.
I'm not there as high as Lance, but I will give it a 7.
Okay.
See, and I'm going to go 6.
Okay.
I still enjoy it, for sure.
like it was it was definitely worth the watch but it is a very Lloyd Kaufman-esque but it's like actually pretty good
yes some of the Lloyd Kaufman stuff is just out there too far out yeah kind of similar though right
and yeah the necrophilia and gang rape right I honestly before we watched the movie and I started
reading some stuff about it i think i always associated this movie with trauma for some reason
yeah it seems like a trauma but yeah not only the gang rake but the gang rape where the lady died
i'm laughing here i shouldn't be laughing yeah dude homeless folks are nuts yeah true and the scene
was so weird because they all gathered around like zombies yeah that was
away.
I was like,
yeah, we're going there.
And then they have this fucking
oopalopa who's like,
do, do, do, do, do.
I guess I better fuck the dead body.
Like, Jesus, what the fuck?
All right.
But, hey, if you don't say what the fuck at least
once during a street trash
movie, what are you doing? Sure, sure.
And there's
multiple of those. But
onto street trash 2024.
It's the eighth consecutive year of Mayor Mustard.
Will he be re-elected?
I'm in the city. Homeless are fighting against the government.
People are fighting for their rights.
What the fuck.
There's another one. Go, go, go.
I present to you the crew.
The most incredible crackheads that you'll ever meet.
I have reduced the number of homeless people in the city.
You're basically zero.
The mayor's fucking melting people.
They're exterminating everybody.
Finally ready,
Monsora.
Director is Ryan Kruger,
also known for Fried Berry.
Writers are Ryan Kruger
with James C. Williamson.
A soundtrack
was written by Joe Vaz, who
plays chef in the movie.
And
that's all we got.
Lance, you know, stars off?
Oh, that's it? That's all the trivia.
That's all the trivia. That was the soundtrack was written by Joe Bass.
Oh, man. Man. So after watching the original, I really wanted to enjoy this.
And I haven't seen Fried Barry. Have you seen that, Brian?
Yeah, it's a... Oh, really?
Yeah, Phil, you should check it out, too. It's an alien movie.
Yeah, a lot of people love it.
Stars the guy that has his little imaginary friend that he talks to in this movie.
Too bad. Yeah.
Yeah, because I was looking on IMDB and I saw that.
Have I seen this movie?
I don't think I have.
I don't have to watch it.
I think it's on Shutter.
Okay.
Pride Barry.
A lot of drugs in that movie.
Yeah.
So drugs and aliens.
Philip is in.
Okay.
I'm telling you.
I was
not impressed with this movie, guys.
Sorry.
I think
were they trying to be
tell some message
where they thought
it was socially relevant
or...
I think both movies...
See, the first movie didn't...
No, the first movie
didn't really do that.
I think they did.
I think they did.
You were just...
Okay, maybe I...
You were just blinded by the drugs and rape
that you couldn't see.
There you go.
I didn't enjoy this one, guys.
not have fun. Maybe it's because I love
the first one so much, but I
just, I found this one pretty
boring, and I'll pass
it on.
Ouch.
I actually like this one a little
bit more. I thought they
kind of ramp things up.
I like the effects. I like
the color design
with the, with the
oozing of
bodily fluids.
I thought some of the cast was funny.
I like the two
I don't know if they were supposed to be
brothers or twins or something
The two
They introduced as the two crackheads
The New Zealand native guys
Yeah
It's not African
Chef was fun
Two shit was fun
Okay
I thought the lead guy was a little
Bland for me
Compared to all the other characters
But
Well it gets not spoilers
Yeah
I guess that's a good point
I think the story was a little bit more fleshed out in this one with the government trying to exterminate the homeless people.
See, that's what I didn't like.
That's where they lost me.
They tried to get way too much into that with the drones coming after them and all this other crap.
And I'm like, really?
I just want a fun movie.
I shouldn't have seen the other one into this from like back to back.
That's what fucked me.
This is like the first one was just dumb fun.
and this one was like trying to be too serious
for me.
I can understand that.
He was being serious.
Well, maybe with their messaging,
but I've kind of learned to tune that out
because a lot of them have it.
Kind of blown away.
Seems like the easiest way to rid yourself
of homeless vermin by drugs would be
spike everything with fentanyl.
Hey, there you go.
We can't.
It just seized a ton at the border from what I hear.
So.
Yeah.
But, yeah, I just wait to spoilers because I'm kind of treading a line here.
So.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've got the spoilers here.
Um, yeah, no, I, I think.
So this, if the last one was Lloyd Kaufman, this was, uh, man,
Mel Brooks doing Lloyd Kaufman.
coffin you know what i mean
that's what this was okay okay i can see that um but uh but i i did kind of enjoy it it was very
slap sticky um i mean you know it's not my favorite movie of the year uh i mean i'm glad
that i watched it once i don't know that i'm gonna watch it again
but uh but i not not a terrible movie i i i think i enjoyed it i like the little
little weird alien puppet guy.
He was pretty cool.
What the fuck did that thing come from?
Did you see the after credit scene?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
They went there.
They went there.
Yeah, he was a sex maniac, wasn't he?
Yeah, he was a weird little, gorny thing.
And so, but...
He'd fuck anything.
That was kind of smart the way that they did that, though, because, like, all their really
vulgar stuff came out of him, which is not really a person.
so it doesn't count.
I guess I can see that.
I liked the crazy guy that saw him.
I thought he was a good character.
I did like the two brothers or whatever they were.
The chick was okay.
I think everybody else was pretty okay.
But yeah, those were definitely the standouts to me.
But yeah, it was a fun movie.
I think maybe I would
I don't know
They're kind of unequal playing field
I think
So I think I have to say
Fair enough
Fair enough
I know
Lance what's your score on it
Oh shit
On this one I'm giving it two
I'm 10
Yeah
Sorry
Right
I agree with you
Phil
I think these are kind of uneven
playing fields
I like your
comparison
and if the first one was Lloyd Kaufman, this one's Mel Brooks.
Yeah.
So I have to, even though I did like this a little bit more,
I'm still going to give it a seven, just like the original.
Like, especially that one character, who I also really enjoyed
because he was doing a straight-up Mel Brooks impersonation.
Oh, chef?
Yeah, chef.
I'm going to be as stereotypical Jewish as I can.
But it was funny.
Yeah, I think I'm going to
I'm going to give it a six because I gave the last one a six.
I think that makes sense.
And I might have even 6.25.
I think I enjoy this one more.
All right.
Spoilers.
This is a motherfucking spoiler alert.
You've been fucking warned.
This is a motherfucking spoiler alert.
You've been.
fucking warned. This is a motherfucking spoiler alert. You've been fucking warned.
You're going to start us off?
You guys go ahead. I don't care. You really hated it, huh? To me, it made no sense. I'm sorry.
How did this one not make sense but the other one? I said the last one definitely didn't make sense.
Maybe state of mind. I don't know. I explain it to me, guys. Please, please explain it.
Well, you had this rich asshole that hated homeless people.
I know.
You referred to them as street trash.
You know, they got to say the title in the movie.
Okay.
And they got this chemical that you get introduced to it when they're experimenting on the one homeless lady.
And I thought the effects were fun.
I felt like they were on the same level, just a little.
No, I'm not even on the same level.
I felt like they were a little updated.
Yeah, I like the-oh, I liked the.
the colors, I liked the bubbles.
I liked that everything
is cracked. Yeah, good practical effects for sure.
I like that stupid little alien was a puppet.
Yeah.
I was mad that alien
was there or the puppet. I was like,
why is this fucking thing here? It makes no
sense, but whatever. I think Phil
hit the nail on the head.
It was all the offensive stuff came from the
puppet. You can't get mad at the puppet.
Yeah, fair enough. Fuppets are fun.
So it was an imaginary puppet the whole time,
huh? If that had been just a little
weird guy that they'd have been like man
that guy's gross but it was a cute
little alien was he
imaginary because when the main
guy takes that vile at the end to get
superhuman strength and he can
basically Jack Burton
from Big Trouble in Little China he can see
things and everyone else can see
Yeah I don't know that I liked that that's
what happened with the drug
I mean I
I get why they did it society
told him you're finally ready for it
Yeah I know but I was expecting something
else to happen and I'm like he just
is like superpowered now this is stupid
I did
I did
kind of weird
I thought it was kind of weird because I felt
the movie was a little was graphic
not a little graphic was really graphic
throughout most of the movie but the
finale
with the big siege on
the rich person's compound
kind of felt like they
cut seeds
I wonder why they would, though.
I was going to say maybe to keep the violence down, but
although it might have been to keep the violence down,
because even though this was kind of a gross and goofy movie,
maybe they wanted to keep it more goofy and less violent.
Yeah, because you've got a lot of people being murdered by this chemical
and just straight dissolving until they're just bones left.
Right.
But then you got at the end when they're having the big fight scenes and stuff.
And there's like, he rushes down the hall and then it just cuts the blood being splattered against the ball.
Yeah.
And then he runs back with blood on his face.
I was like, oh, that's kind of stupid.
I wanted to see.
Yeah.
Because his friends had, his friends had horrified looks on and said, we'll never talk about that again.
I was like, you're not even going to tell me what happens either.
Yeah.
I think that it kept it a little more lighthearted because like the the bubbly shit like that is like it's obviously a spectacle.
It's fun to watch.
And so I don't think people get affected by that as much as they would like having somebody cut their head off.
Although I think it would be fun.
But that's just me.
Have your head come on?
Well, no, to watch it happen.
Yeah.
Give me the gore. You're going to go extreme? Give me the gore.
Yeah. And I also felt like the...
You're sounding like Izzy now, Philip.
I'm telling you, dude. That's why Terrifier was so awesome.
I like the world they built too. It kind of went with what the situation was,
with them trying to take out the homeless, this kind of post-apocalyptic world.
You had like this underboss that was with her weird little minions.
the Rat King
Oh yeah
felt like
I didn't know
where to place the original one
What time period
Like I didn't even
Until you said something
I might I must have blacked out
I didn't even know it was in New York
Mm-hmm
But this one
I guess I didn't realize that either
So what was this one
This was like post apocalyptic
Cape Town
Yeah
Cape Town South Africa
And it was
Yeah. Oh, South Africa.
Apparently, it says it takes place in 2025.
So we better be careful, guys.
It's right around the corner.
They did refer back.
I did appreciate the way they referred back to getting the Viper from the, they said, from 1986 New York,
and they made a chemical from it.
Well, the director did say it.
At least they gave some love to it.
The director did say this is a spiritual sequel to.
is the original one.
So that makes sense.
Makes sense. Yeah.
Makes sense.
That's all I got.
All right, Philip, anything else?
Um...
Puppy gets fucked it then in the after credits.
And they gave you sound effects of it slipping in right before it.
Oof.
Um, yeah, no, I mean, nothing, nothing that we haven't covered, I don't think.
Uh, as always, we don't think you guys for listening to another episode of The Horror Returns.
