Greetings, victims, for those of you who delight and dread, who fantasize about fear, who glorify gore, welcome, you have found the place where the whole, the whole, return, you have found the place where the whole return. 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. Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. Welcome back. Ha, ha. It's Christmas season. Did you reach the horror?

You found the horror returns. I'm, I don't know, I'm just, I'm hoping I didn't cut off the beginning of it on the recording. That sounds awesome. Oh, no. Hopefully we're good. All right, I'm Lance. With me as always, Brian and Phillip. What's going on, guys?

Same old, same old. It's Christmas season. Trying to stay warm. up here and single degree temperature. Oh, I bet. I had to come out of my sweatshirt today. It was hot. Oh, Beth.

We got the AC running. It's like 82 degrees early today, but we had a cool front. Brian, it was all the way down to 67, man. Oh, I wish. Yeah, it's like 65 and sunny here. It's awesome. Got up early to take the dog for a walk this morning. It was negative one.

Ouch. Holy shit. shit. That's exactly what I said when I stepped outside. That is insane. Dog, you go out on your own. Don't run it. It's warmed up since then.

It's formed up since then. It's about seven degrees. Oh, it's all the way up to seven degrees there, huh? Yeah, AJ and I were talking about how chilly it was at 67. Can't even imagine what it's like a negative. It's a summer night. That's a summer night up here. How do you go take a piss when your penis is fully inverted?

I don't think he cares. Well, Phillips's got the Christmas decor there, man. Is that a tree that you got all wet up in the background there? That is a tree with some fiber optic stuff. Yeah, we actually got a big one with fiber optics. Nice. With branches that are not terribly strong to try to keep the cat out of it.

He's knocked it over a couple times. Yeah, those new light bulbs, man, such an improvement, right? Over the old glass ones that, like, one would burn out. You'd have to either try to find it or replace the whole damn thing. Yeah.

I was terribly... And, Brian, I think Brian's got some Christmas movies playing in the background, it looks like. Yeah, I got a Terfire 3. There you go, man. Nice for the kitties. I love your camera.

It gives it like dramatic effects. It's tripping me out. Art the clown coming down the chimney. Oh, man. All right. Well, let's get into it, guys. Who's up for Cool of the Week? I'll go real quick.

I got three movies, three new movies. First one's called kombucha. Okay. I thought that was a type of drink. It is. It has to play. It plays into the movie. Order lines.

guys he's like a struggling musician this girlfriend talks him into getting this job he was offered at like a corporate office okay and they're really pushing the people the employees that drink their kombucha drink that they're selling or promoting and in doing so the employees when they drink to drink they're super motivated to work like that's all they care about is working work work, work, work. But the guy that, the main character, he starts noticing, like, some hallucinations, like some kind of lovecraftian stuff going on. It's got miff at least, right?

Love craftian. Yeah, there was some, like, little creatures in there and stuff. Inside the kombucha? Yeah, like, it looked like little parasites or something. E! okay so decent movie

sounds interesting it's labeled as a comedy sci-fi horror it was kind of light on the comedy neither it was light on the comedy

or the comedy just wasn't hidden for me but everything else was pretty decent okay I'll watch yeah every once in a while

I watch like a horror comedy and I don't laugh once it's like the comedy is totally lost on me but yeah you know I'll laugh more

at Art the Clown chopping kids' heads off and cutting ladies in half, but, you know, we're all different. This is a horror movie, but it's bad. So we're going to call it a horror comedy. Yes. Comedy by accident. Next one is a found footage movie called Man Finds Tape.

Yeah, I've heard of this one. Yeah, this guy, he creates a YouTube series called Man Finds Tape because he finds his tape. mysterious stuff I think it takes I think this is the one that takes place in Texas okay in the small town and like mysterious things happen people come up missing and he finds this tape and he like starts investigating

it and strange things starts happening and if I had to compare it to something I would compare you guys ever seen Lake Mungo it's kind of like a fake documentary movie about a girl that goes missing super like creepy i don't think so i've heard of it but i don't think i've seen that one i think i've seen it i can't remember yeah i'll compare it to that but not as creepy

and it's definitely falls under the category of slow burn it's well made but if you're looking for a lot of stuff to happen the saint the one that's more like creepy vibes happening and stuff happening in the background and kind of try to figure out the mystery of where these tapes are coming from and who's behind it. Okay. It sounds a little bit like VHS a little bit,

like the idea behind the VHS series where like they go into a house and find tapes and start playing them. Is it like that a little bit? A little bit, but pretty much all the tapes are consistently the same thing happen in just different people. different points of view

or two different people I can't remember okay it's like the creep tapes man finds tape okay and my cool of the week is another found footage movie called in our blood

this one makes my cool of the week because when the reveal happened it took me by a total surprise I wasn't expecting it And that's rare with us, right? It is about a lady who is a filmmaker. She is making a documentary about reconnecting with her mother who they're estranged. Her mother had like drug problems and she got taken away.

Okay. She goes back to the town she's from to meet up with the mother. The mother seems like she wants to, you know, reconcile things. but she seems kind of strange at some point. Like different, like changed. And then the next day she ends up disappearing. And then the movie is them kind of investigating things. They find out there's a local gang that's connected to the cartel.

They think they might be involved. They get led to her job, which is like a, is like a rehabilitation clinic. Mm-hmm. And there's some kind of weird stuff going on there. It's like a whole bunch of, like, mysterious things happening. And then when the reveal happened on, what's really going on, I was like, oh, wow. Didn't see that coming.

Not what you're expecting at all, huh? No, because it kind of, in the beginning, okay, I was like, this is typical found footage stuff. Mm-hmm. And there's probably going to be like a little supernatural. element to it and it's just going to be like some jump scare in the background the usual somebody drops the camera and screams and runs but there's a there's a camera already on them from another angle that's been freshly shot yeah i got you but yeah i totally recommend this one in our blood in our blood huh is it streaming or is it uh for rent is for rent okay

all three of these movies are might be worth throwing a few shekels down Philip for us to rent that one man yeah alright well I'll jump in of course still sticking with Welcome to Derry Last episode was pretty good

and a little sad Oh that kid Yeah I wondering where they go All right hold on hold on hold on okay no no spoilers all right all right no i am i am four in now i'm yeah no i'm five in i'm five in i saw the one where we finally saw the the famous clown okay it it looks like they're kind of starting to wrap it up so that makes sense well there's i think one more episode okay that makes sense yeah

but yeah still liking that caught a couple of war movies um the king with uh with uh chalemay uh

i haven't heard of this one the king is this news no i don't think so he plays uh it's on Netflix he plays king Henry the fifth and so

that just sounds that just sounds ridiculous with Chalemay yeah but he's he He's a good actor, man. Does he pull it off? Okay.

Yeah, I think he does. Yeah, I heard that one movie he just came out in where he's the ping pong player, Marty Supreme. Oh, that makes more sense. Great reviews. Yeah. It's hard to be a tough guy when you're about 25 soaking wet. But he pulls it off.

I think he was good. Okay. And the one with Churchill, the darkest hour. with uh yeah with uh what's his name gary oldman plays churchill and you can sort of tell when you first seem and it's a little distracting and then 30 minutes into the movie you forget that he's even in it really yeah he's it's it's it's pretty good i like it's that's a good sign let's see what else did i watch a couple of comments comedy shows I saw the there was a Matt rife Christmas special where he does a bunch of crowd work it's pretty funny pretty funny I like it and Netflix or yeah Netflix and the new Kevin Hart one was also Netflix yeah yeah I saw some clips of the Kevin Hart one yeah he's talking about trying to race an NFL player or an ex NFL player it's about getting older and so it resonated well

because he's about the same age as me. He probably could have been 21 years old and not raced against the NFL player. Well, yeah. And honestly. He raced him in the middle of a street, in the middle of a party, and, like, pulled his nuts.

Basically. They do tend to sag after a while. Like his hit flasters or something. It gets tough when he needs to. Yeah. You got to see that clip where he's like with some strong. streamers and I guess his daughter was there

and they were like trying to talk to her okay oh and he had to go like basically check them and then one of the guys was like but she's 20 and then he was like don't fucking tell me how old my daughter is she came out of my nuts motherfucker is my daughter

and everybody thought because it was because it was Kevin Hart he was like doing a bit a bit but he was like no he wasn't doing a bit this is my daughter I'm not fucking around motherfucker But yeah, he's still funny

He's still got it It's not quite as funny As some of his earlier stuff But it's pretty good Because he's got a couple of stand-ups That are like Legend level And then

Real quick, speaking to Netflix The Bandins at Western show With the Kennedy I dropped off Yeah Oh no I think I'll stick it out man it's kind of boring to me

I almost clicked on it and I was like man I don't know if I want to watch this a lot of talkie talkie brain yeah it's like too much dialogue I mean yeah like supposed to be like part action Western the hateful eight I want to see some

motherfucking gun fights don't be talking for two hours straight yeah and if it's Kurt Sutter I mean talky really are you sure that's not just set up for a big final episode I guess you'll never know I don't know if I want to watch

almost 8 7, 8 episodes to get to that Yeah I mean I want some I mean this he made sons of anarchy Right yeah So something happened Yeah of course Spoiler, his wife does show up

in the abandons Peg Bundy Oh Oh I don't guess I realize that he was married to her. That makes sense. Hope he's happier than Al Bundy was when he was married to it. Ah, pig. And then, but I think my cool

week, aside from Welcome to Derry, because that probably takes it, is after I finished watching the movie that we're doing today on Amazon, because I rented it there, and it just started, like, playing some shit after. And the movie that it played afterwards was Benny

Loves You. Oh, I remember that. And I was like, this movie's better. Better on the second watch, huh? It's a good movie, man. Benny loves you. Isn't it British or something like that?

If I remember. But, yeah, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's supposed to hit. And, uh, okay, they pulled it off there. Benny loves you. Not as I was expecting. These are the puppets I want to see. That is not what I was expected from Philip, Brian. And out of that batch, he picks Benny loves you, but okay.

I know. That's cool. Christmas season, right? We like little furry animals and creatures and stuff, right? Yeah, there you go. I guess I'll throw on my Christmas recommendation. Yes, please. Doing the 25 days, I promised Lance last year,

and I'm keeping up making it a tradition. I am a little behind, but the best one I've seen so far is you guys seen an 8-bit Christmas. Oh, yes. Love that one. That is a great movie. Love that one. Yeah, it wasn't bad at all.

This is essentially a Christmas story, but instead of a BB gun, it's a Nintendo. Yeah. And I thought all the kids were fantastic in it. Set up a little like the Princess Bride. Yes. Okay, I can see that now. As he's telling the story, he's like not exactly telling the story as it happened, just how he remembered it. I got to revisit that one, man.

Maybe I can talk to the Jay into it again. Yeah, we were wearing helmets on our bicycles. Everybody wore helmets in the 80s. Sure, every day. Did they even make bicycle helmets? I don't think so. I can tell you I've never seen one until about early 2000s probably. But maybe the racers, right?

Like when they had the bicycle races in France and stuff. If you're like going 30 miles an hour down the road, but... Yeah. Kids running around and BNMX's didn't have helmets. Nope. Definitely not. Oh, man. All right, Benny loves you, huh?

I think so. Okay. Well, I've been able... I actually had some free time this week for once, which is quite rare. And God willing, A.J. is going to be... Well, I don't think anyone who works with her right now listens to this. but potentially leaving her job and going to an actual hourly wage, like no more than 40 hours a week job.

And for a woman that works 60 hours a week, plus spends all the time, like I'll take her to Disney World and she'll be on her fucking phone, answering these fucking idiots calls all day long, stupid questions, emailing her boss, sending pictures. This is going to be awesome. I hope it happens. That's where they get you when they put you on salary.

If you actually give a shit about your job, you're not working 40 hours a week. And they know it. But I had a little free time this week, and again, hopefully have more soon. But I did a lot of reading. I'm trying to hit my 24 books in the year, Brian. I'm a little bit behind because I've picked three books that are over 1,200 pages each. So I'm reading Oathbringer, as I've been reading for about six weeks now, Brandon Sanderson book. and it's very epic

like makes Game of Thrones kind of look like a comic book almost so I'm getting through that. Oath bringer. There better be a fucking sword. That's the name of his sword, fella. That is the name of his sword. And it's not just a sword. It's a shard blade.

And they're kind of like lightsabers. They can cut through anything. Okay. And you can stab somebody with it and it kills them immediately. So it turns them black and corroded. It's really awesome.

But I'm doing that. Like I say, I've got about three more episodes of Daryan. I'm up to five. Andor, almost finished with Andor, to give you guys the idea how fucking far behind I am. But the cool of the week... Don't worry, Lance. I haven't even started Andor. It's very good.

It's very good. And it ties in really well with the original three movies. I wish I gave a shit more, but I kind of don't. it's it's incredibly well made you know and it's pretty it's pretty heavy like every episode it's pretty epic so every episode you got to really pay attention it's not a background show if you know what i mean um but yeah i'm enjoying that but the cool of the week far and away brian i did i got through the second episode of pluribus where you're talking about how uh she starts to meet some people and they're in the same you know position she's in and so a j and i started the second

episode and we couldn't quit watching. We got it all the way through to where they are right now in the series. So now, like, we're waiting for tomorrow when they're going to have the next episode. But that first episode is just like a mind fuck. It's like, what the fuck is going on? Right, Brian? Like, very, very hard to tell what's really happening. A little bit like that with the second one. With what happens when she gets mad. That was weird. Yeah. That was kind of of unexpected. That could be a weapon. But I mean, I don't know where the story is going to go, and I don't want to say too much. So, like, this, so episode two is where the philosophy lessons really start to kick in. So, like, Philip, if you had an opportunity to be pretty

much just like everybody else, but you'd be, like, eternally blissful, right? Like, joyful all the time, super happy. Or keep your individuality, but everybody else is acting this other way, even people like in your family, all your best friends, they're all acting this way and they're super happy, but you're like holding on to yourself. Would you do that? Or would you try to kind of see if you could find a way to be like them? I don't know. That sounds weird.

It's very weird. It's very weird. And yeah, like it gets deeper and deeper into the philosophy of that and a lot of other stuff as it goes on. So, man, I'm loving it. And as far as I'm concerned, I mean, it's, it's, it's, don't expect Breaking Bad, right? It's Vince Galligan, but it's, it's nothing like breaking bad, wouldn't you agree, Brian?

Like, completely different type of storyline. Because when I heard he was involved, I was kind of going into it thinking we're going to get something along that lines. Because I knew nothing about the show. I just knew he was doing it, and I forgot her name, the one from Better Call Saul. Yeah, Ria Seahorn, the main actor, she's phenomenal in it, by the way. Yeah, so with those two things. I was like, okay, I'm just going to go into it blind, and this is completely not what I expected from him.

Same here, dude. I thought for sure it was aliens at first, right? Like, we all looked at each other and said aliens, but it wasn't. I mean, it might have come from a source outside Earth, but it wasn't aliens. So I don't know, man, I'm sticking with it. A couple more episodes to go.

I'm glad that I was able to binge a lot of it, because I don't know, when I bend shows, I don't know about you guys, but it's like I get a lot more out of it, Because when I wait a week, my old tired brain forget so much shit that like I almost have to start watching that little, you know, last week on thing at the beginning just to catch up. But I think that's why me and my daughter, well, mostly me, because it was the first time watch for her, because we're still going through the Walking Dead. I think that's why I'm enjoying it more because I'm not having to wait. Yeah, I can see that.

week. Yeah, because Walking Dead has a lot of episodes where it's like just set up. And nothing really happens. And then like the next week, something really happens.

They really stretched it out, didn't they? All right. So got three more seasons to go with that. Oh, you're getting there. You're definitely getting there. You're going to do all the spinoffs and stuff too?

We have to. She became a fan. We definitely have to do Darrell. Daryl Dixon because she's a fan of Daryl on the show. That's the one that Jop the Shark for me, but.

No, the one that Jep the Shark for me was the first episode of that one with Negan and Maggie. Like, he killed her love of her life and now they're best buds. Oh, yeah. In New York. Yeah, like smashed her husband's head in with a baseball bat. That's not the kind of guy you become

friends with. kind of far-fetched i guess right all right brian we got any uh horror headlines this week yes uh start with some tv news peacock is developing a series adaptation of clue hmm could be interesting if it's done well is ryan johnson involved by any chance ryan johnson is not but oh this probably gets you excited a little lance uh wicked writer Dana Fox is writing it. Maybe there would be a musical number in there. I love musicals, dude, but that one...

I still haven't seen the second one. I got to take AJ, but I mean, dude, this one is... I love a musical when they spaced the songs out, and they actually have a story, but when every five seconds, somebody, like, stubs their toe on the flat floor, it says, oh, my toe is bleeding. I've got to tell you all about my toe.

It's like Will Ferrell and elf It lost me Yes I'm singing Let's see here Noah Hawley confirms that alien earth Will not connect to the Predator franchise It's going to be its own thing

Okay All right with that I guess that's fine Crystal Lake The Friday 13 prequel show has finished filming and showrunner what the fuck is his name Brad Caleb Kane

which is also showrunner for It Welcome to Derry Really? He says It's promising Philip He said don't word Prequel Well I think see a lot of people think It's going to be all about

Mrs. Voorhees Yeah I think partially it's going to be about Mrs. Bored. He's in a part of the season what I hope is we're going to get a time jump to older Jason because they have cast

a Jason for that show. Unless it's little Jason at the little Jason. No, they cast an older they cast an older Jason and a younger Jason. I've got as much information from that camp as I need

to know. Yeah, I don't. You know what? If they can make it into a great show dude my hat's off to him. I mean a good writer can take any idea and make it great, right? I mean... Yeah, he recently, because people were asking how bloody it was going to be

and he tweeted out something saying it was going to be like the expression he used was rivers of blood. Okay. So it is going to be bloody and gory. Okay. That's a plus. Definitely a plus.

Turn some motherfuckers inside out. And we're going to segue into movie news with the Friday of 13th movie is officially happening. And director Mike P. Nelson, who did that Friday of 13 short film Sweet Revenge that came out a few months ago. Sure. He's thrown his hat in the ring to direct the movie. Why not? And Lance, don't forget, he did the... Wrong-turn remake.

And I think we all enjoyed that. I liked it. I think we all liked it. Different concept, but it worked. Let's see. Alexander Scarsgard is set to star in a gothic horror movie called The Wolf Will Tear Your Immaculate Hands.

Very pretentious name. He picks some weird shit sometimes. Yeah. Yeah, it looks like. it's going to be on the long on the lines of the Northman as far as like period setting okay

so there's that well could be good and last up on our news is 28 years later part three is officially moving forward a lot of people were saying

it was going to be based on how well the second one does but they said fuck it We're making the third one happen. Because it was a plan trilogy. Yeah, that's probably a good thing, right? Just stick with the original plan. Got to finish the story.

Yeah. And Killian Murphy, is it Killian or Sillian? I think it's Sillian. I think it's Sillian. Yeah. Sillian-Killian Murphy. That's silly. Is in talks to return to the franchise for the third one,

because as far as. as I said, is the upcoming Bone Temple. He's only, he only has a cameo in it. Okay. Hmm. And he's not infected, right? Don't know. Allegedly.

Okay. There's a lot of answers, the questions that need to be answers with that second one. What's the deal with the jimmies? That's right. Looks like they're going to play a big part in this one, right? From all the things we've seen. Well, I hope so.

You can't introduce blonde witty. wearing park horror ninjas killing infected people in sweatsuits and just leave it unanswered yeah it took a weird turn at the end there but i'm really i like wanting to know what the connection is because i looked up the guy it's based off of and he's like a convicted pedophile he was like a TV show host or something Yeah, like a long-ranked TV show. Hmm. So, like, what is the connection?

Veed, very vid, very vid. So, we'll see. Parkour sweetest ninja pedophiles. No, no. Please don't give us that. They would all have to be pedophiles. Oh, man. that's true moving on scary than the infected yeah all right trailer park

all right brian's going to take us down to the trailer park and bring us the big the small and sometimes the very very weird what's our first new trailer tonight brian first and only new trailer is not even a trailer it's a teaser for the strangest chapter three we're two movies into this trilogy, so I don't need to go through who's directing, who's in it, all the same people. What did you guys think? Looks like she's in the cult now, huh? That looked like her hair under one of the masks, right? Honestly, I don't remember shit from the last one.

Okay, I think that she's... I wish I gave a shit more. I saw this and was like, oh, is this the new Stranger Things trailer? And I was like, this is not so lucky. oh it is a stranger's trailer i don't care all right so yeah stranger things was awesome too by the way yeah it opens with her walking into this under looks like it's underground or basement or cellar

boiler room or whatever the fuck it is okay for the first thing first thing i'm thinking is where the fuck did the last movie leave off hmm i can't remember I can't remember I'm being honest here

they're going all in on a story that's not that interesting I think that's a good way to put it okay so it's obvious this is a cult right I mean you can't see this and not realize it's a cult and I think she's in on it because I'm 99% sure that was her red hair that was under one of the masks so did they force her into it or did she finally decide to join them I'm just remembering something I remember asking a question

last time with the flashback was she one of the little girls in the flashback of the girl i think so yeah i think so that would only that would make sense right i mean i will say out of all the the trailers for all the movies this i think this is the most effective one it kind of brought up the tension and hopefully this will be the best out of the trilogy and another thing I'm hopeful for is we get more Richard break because the little 10 seconds he was in the teaser

he looked super creepy, just that little smile he cracked. And for that reason alone, Brian, I think he's going to not be who we think he is. He's not going to be a villain. I think he's going to be a good guy. I think he is. I think he's going to be the savior somehow. He makes a great villain. Walking out the theater.

He does, and that's not. That's another reason that I think they're going to surprise you with Richard Great, but we'll see. We'll see. Yeah, this hits theater is February 6th, and maybe I should have sent it to you guys. You got to see the new Supergirl trailer? Oh, no. I saw part of it. Yeah, I saw part of it.

This movie looks like it's going to be a lot of fun. Okay. Very galactic. She's a party girl, man. She's a party girl. Yeah, galactic, cosmic. vibes, very Guardians of the Galaxy

and like Lance says she's the party girl. Because I looked into the story she's still dealing with the destruction of her planet so she's basically going to these planets where they have red suns so she can basically

get drunk and fucked up. But would you rather get drunk or have superpowers? She gets both, right? Yeah, I think she has her powers that just... Yeah, right. The Red Sun enables her to actually feel the alcohol. I don't know.

It looks super fun. I think it was on in the background in an NBA game I was watching. Yeah, and I was... I was worried about the actors, Millie Alcock, because the only thing I knew her from was House of the Dragon. It should be pretty great in that one. Yeah, but nothing. and then they told me

this is Supergirl. Supergirl, yeah. But just the little teaser trailer, I was like, okay, I'm seeing what they're trying to do with her. I had questions about the Superman guy and he pulled it off. Lois Lane, in my opinion, really pulled it off.

I was a little annoyed by Lois. I thought it was Lois. I was confused by Jimmy because I didn't know he was that much of a pimp. She looks nice, but. She needed to cut some of her dialogue. Tone it down a bit. Yeah.

Talking a whole bunch. Toning it down on the report. I'd like, all right. I know that's what reporters are now, but. True. True. You may be tone the bullshit down a little bit. Yeah.

I got you. And Jimmy Olson is getting, he is getting a series on HBO Max. I hope it's him just banging. Ballin. Jimmy Olson's orgy That is it for the trailers All right

Jimmy Olsen's orgy On to listener feedback This week we shine the podcast spotlight On Spanish sundown That sounds like a date rate drug Modern-day characters in Spain, an American immigrant to Europe,

a disgruntled nurse, an evicted farmer, find voices trapped in different objects from Iberia's bloody past. Weaving their own contemporary issues with tales from history, these characters discover Celts from 2000

years ago, golden age kings, and victims of the Francois dictatorship? uh as they confront the themes of evils that have always existed and still exist today um an ongoing horror series of standalone episodes spanish sundown boasts real sounds recorded on location for a unique authentic listening experience nice check it out and it sounds good man like the old radio plays that i used to listen to when i was a lad being the elder statesman of the three of us right uh before tv huh lance yeah Yes, before TV. He's to huddle around the radio.

Yes, we did. And speaking of Spanish Sundown, that could go wrong. Spanish Sundown says thanks for, thanks for shining the spotlight and all the awesome feedback. Thanks, guys. Nice. And I want to say thank you to them because they posted, uh, they posted, uh, They made a posting about our Gullies Critters episode. Our last one we did.

They posted it on Facebook. All right. Of all episodes to pick. But hey, thank you. That was fun. I like that episode. I like those, man. All right. In regards to Blade Trinity, Eddie Ramirez says,

one of my biggest disappointments ever. I didn't walk out, but I was close. Harsh. Pat Caruso says, I turned this movie off halfway through. I don't think it's that bad. I'm life-blade Trinity. You know which one I didn't like that everybody

fucking disagrees with? The second one. The second one is awesome. It's because the fucking effects were terrible. It was the 90s, right? Yeah. It was when they were doing that CGI for action stuff where like people are jumping around

and it looks like a little gumbie guy. You know what really? irritates me. You know the one that really bummed me out in the theaters that did that was the second Matrix movie. Yeah.

When he's fighting all the Agent Smith. Mm-hmm. The second Matrix movie did it. There was a Spider-Man movie that did it. Oh, sure. Yeah. I know exactly what you're talking about.

Like a little Gumby dude jumping around. That shit irritates me. It takes me out of the movie. Gumby loves you. in regards to the banana splits movie Peter Lane says really liked it I'll talk about that in a minute

yeah okay in regards to poultry geist uh poultry geist too yeah right I didn't know there was one I didn't know it was one

Craig Hingley says I have a copy of poultry guys on disc, but never made it more than a few minutes past the opening credits. Wow. You know, I bet you Nez has a whole laundry list of movies that he

owns and has never watched. You think so? We can ask him in a little bit. I think he's going to, I have faith he's going to be here to talk about movies tonight. I'm going to say he's watched him, but I'm going to say he's never watched him again. Again. Yeah.

Yeah. Except Black Christmas, right, which he has a rotation. now seems to love that when he was here right now he'd hold it up in his screen he's got that one on standby uh in regards to crampus the third excuse me sorry the third channel podcast says uh that's what we're talking about this week crampus is a good good choice yeah in regards to the taking of debor logan you like that one robert I do. That's a great movie. Robert Glonick says

Underrated creepy film. It is. I like it. Great found footage. That old lady shows up titties in it. Yeah. That's why I watched it. In regards to the Psycho remake, Stefano Peter Sini says

bullshit that could have been avoided. But when there are no more ideas to produce movies like this, it's better to donate the budget the charity. Yeah. That one made no sense because it's... Yeah.

I haven't seen it in a long time, but it's basically a shot for shot remake. With fucking Vince Vaughn. Who decided that was a good idea? I think he was like it guy at the moment. Yeah, I know.

Yeah, I can see that. Man, it guy for comedies. He's better in Bad Monkey. Have you seen that one on Apple TV? Uh-uh. Oh, that's a good series. I did watch him in Four Christmases. That one's funny.

That's a good one. He's got a lot of little weird-ass movies that you wouldn't even think of that he was in that are always pretty good. Like that cell block 99 one was awesome. Oh, and he stumps that guy's face off? Yeah. And not comedy. Not comedy. Yeah, and it's a weird movie for him.

He totally played. it straight. I've never seen the director's follow-up to that. I think he's in it. I think Mel Gibson's in it. You dragged a concrete or whatever? Yeah. Oh, I did see that. I didn't realize those two movies are related. Well, I think just by the director. Oh, okay. Might be it set in the same universe, you know? Yeah. I couldn't tell you what it was about, but I remember it being all right. Okay. It wasn't as awesome as I wanted it to be, but. It was good. All right.

posts pretty soon right sexually transmitted disease good all right on to featured attractions uh we stop in for pizza at freddies and catch the banana splits show uh we'll start with the banana splits movie from 2019 young harley is having a dream birthday he and his family are finally going to watch the taping of his favorite show but the dream becomes a nightmare when the animatronic stars turn homicidal. Director

is Danishka Esther Hazy. Also known I have. Also known for the slumber party massacre remake. Which was not bad. I'm sure it was good.

It's not great either. I am. Okay. It's there. It's there. She doesn't have a budget behind it. writers are Jed Linoff and Scott Thomas there are rumors that this was going to be the original

Five Nights at Freddy's movie but it got canceled because the animatronics didn't work but they decided not to waste the script and make a different animatronic movie anyway with animatronics it didn't work okay yeah well that's pretty obvious because there are no animatronics in this movie despite its horror angle the film retains many visual nods to the original 1968 TV series

such as the bright colors and the set and the banana buggy style vehicles I am not familiar with the banana splits show I am very much so I've seen maybe an episode or two yeah have you all right uh well lance you want to start us out since you have actually seen the banana split show

when i when i was a kid growing up my uh my my mom and dad split right my mom uh had enough right and she moved to austin and uh there for there for about a year or so dad raised us in long view so you know it was basically just steak thrown under the george foreman grill every night you know, whatever dad could cook, if he would make like mashed potatoes or something like that out of the bag, you know, the instant ones. Yeah. It was good times, man, but I do remember that my sisters were younger, so they had to, like, stay at a daycare. And I begged my dad, dad, please, please don't let me stay at a daycare. I'm six years old or whatever I was. I'm close enough to a grown up. And he said, okay, I'll see, I'll see how it goes. So I got to stay at home alone.

And let's see, it was Gilligan's Island, I Dream of Jeannie, like O' Reruns, something else, and then the Banana Splits show. Gilligan's Ivy was my favorite shit back then. I used to love that show. What's that? I say Gilligan's Island was my favorite shit back then. That was awesome. I was a Dick Van Dyke show fan. Oh, he would always trip when he came in.

the intro walking into the house right the damn ottoman's always in the way yeah gilligan's island and i love lucy dude i've seen that's a good one that's a good one that's a good man i had had mary tyler more yeah that's true sure sure they don't make married tyler tomorrow she was hot she's not she's not um he's dead now so oh well well never mind did. Okay. Maybe a little decrepit at this point. That theme

song was burned in my head. That da-da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-a-na-na. Okay. I knew I recognized it. I thought they were just ripping it off of something. That's, you know what? I don't understand how they were able to make this movie. This movie was way fucking ahead of its time.

They're doing all the twisted childhood stuff and the Winnie and the Mickey and all that, how the fuck did they get away with making this? These were the actual fucking characters. Now, they weren't animatronics, of course, right? They were guys in suits. But it was the same exact characters. Same music.

They didn't change up the soundtrack or change a few notes. So they wouldn't have to get in trouble like we did when we're having to reload all our episodes that had music cues in them. But that shocked me. So the movie started, and I'm like, yeah, this looks like it could be kind of interesting and then it got really boring for me

because I was like, all right, so we're getting home life here, we see that it's a kid that's in a trouble situation, the mean stepfather, the older brother, this is kind of going to be stupid. And then they started getting into the kills and I was fucking enjoying

this movie a lot. Like, for me this was really joyful. Like, especially the dude that got run over and I thought he was dead and then they finished the job later. And that guy had it coming, man. This was fun for me, man. I didn't know if I was going to enjoy this or not.

I was really eager to see it because I remember the banana split so much. But I was really worried that I was going to be a victim of like my own nostalgia and like it just because it was the splits. And so maybe that's why in my mind, you know, when there was a lot of action early on. But that part, like when they were keeping the kids in that room and forcing them to watch the show. I don't know, man. I really dug this. I'm glad I actually had to rent this one, Brian,

because I couldn't find it, like, streaming. So I rented it on Amazon, and it's a couple of bucks well spent, man. This was fun. Really enjoyed it. A lot more. I'm curious, you guys don't really know the splits. I'm curious what you guys are going to think about this.

All right. Brian, what do you think? This is a rewatch for me. I originally caught this because this was a sci-fi original movie on the sci-fi channel. That's when I originally caught it. Okay.

My experience with the banana splits is, like I said, I've only seen two episodes, but it used to come on Nick at night back in the day. And that lineup was the banana splits, the monkeys.

That's a lot of link, Secret Chimp. God, I love that show. What was it? Lancelot, Link, secret chimp. Don't even know what that is. It's ridiculous. It was like Austin Powers, right?

But it was a chimp. Yeah. So that's my experience with them. Rewatching this movie, I totally forgot how the kills were portrayed in this movie because the movie starts out and you think it's going to be more of a introductory

horror movie to kids when you get that first kill where the guy showed that I forgot what it was a mallet or something down that guy's throat that's right there's like a lollipop

right a big lollipop I'm like okay we're doing something here and I didn't even though they weren't animatronics I did think they did a good job at portraying themselves as animatronics especially when

Yeah, doing a robot, and then when somebody would get some of the cloth ripped off, it would have like the T-800 or whatever Terminator arm. Oh, that's right, that's right. A lot of the people that got killed in here were they made you not like them as much. So that kind of made it fun when they died. I did want a better explanation, though, why they were. basically alive and doing their own thing. Yeah. They just kind of...

Well, yeah. Like, they're alive and they're killing people on their own, and that's what it is. Well, there was the mad scientist guy, right? That was programming him and... Well, he had no control over anything. He just made them. Yeah, that's true. They just kind of went off on their own, didn't they?

They went rogue. I thought the kids did an okay job, because kids can usually ruin it for you. I thought the main kid was hilarious being like a super fan and wearing his little fairy wings and had his dangerous ass toy that his older brother got him for his birthday that little extending spear thing

oh yeah I knew that was going to come into play when they showed that early on but overall I had a good time rewatching this one a lot better than another movie we're going to talk about yeah i don't know how the banana splits was never even on my radar it didn't even click that this was like based on a real thing i don't know how i never saw it that's weird anyway um i thought it was

okay yeah i they obviously were not actual animatronics and it was just dudes in a suit so they did it really cheap yeah obviously right but uh but i kind of like what they did they they they uh they kept it up it was actually a real movie so i'll give them that they had that going for them right yeah it was all right i didn't i i i can't say i super enjoyed it but i don't know that i really paid enough attention to this movie even though i paid money for it well you know i guess that's fair enough right yeah it was it was just all right for me yeah i just i just like the kills man yeah it's a lot of some original kills.

And then the Asian chick that went nuts at the end in the car. Yeah. Well, and at least it was rated R, so they didn't have, like, off-screen kills. Yes, thank goodness. Yeah. Nez, do you see the Banana Splits movie? No, I just seen the TV show back when I was a kid. See, that's what I didn't even know it was a TV show. Me and Nez.

I missed this thing completely. It was for the old schoolers. Oh, I know, but I watched all the old school shows. never this one. What's it? I don't even know what it's, what is it streaming somewhere? I haven't even,

I didn't know. You got to rent it or, it's, it's for rant. It's for rant, Naz. All right. Well,

I'll wait until it's streaming somewhere. If you want to buy it, it's for purchase. Well, you would think because it's sci-fi, a lot of sci-fi stuff ends up on P-card. Yeah, that's true.

Hmm. Wonder why it wasn't. Oh, well. All right. Scores. Lance, what do you think? Seven and a half. I loved it. Seven and a half. Wow. Brian? I liked it, but I didn't like it that much. I give it a 6.75.

Yeah. Nice. Okay. That's good. I'm going to go six. I think it was solid and it was fun. All right. But yeah, it was just kind of okay in my book. All right. On to the brand new one. Five nights. Hold on. Hold on. I'm glad Naz is here. because I did not make it to this one.

Oh, okay. But I'm eager to hear you guys. And, Nez, what's your cool of the week? Oh, probably that show Landman. It's not horror. Yeah, of course. Good.

Yeah, it's hella good. Yeah. Shout out to the Zs, too. He's the one that told me to watch it. And I started watching it and got hooked and zip through season one. Now season two is going. Oh, and I finish it. finished Tulsa King with Slice Stallone.

That shit was badass, too. See, I still need to catch up on that. I'm a little behind. Yeah. No, I couldn't stop on that one. So that was hell of good. Stranger Things was good. The four episodes we got.

Yeah. Trying to think that I watch anything horror. Oh, well, it wasn't a horror movie, but Brian and I are going to cover it for action returns. and I won't go into it. But, yeah, that one was worth watching. If you guys know what we're talking about, yeah. All right, we'll find out.

Check out the action returns to find out. I got plenty to stay on that movie, Brian. There's a lot going on in that movie. Yeah, it was. Interesting. When's this episode going to be out? I don't know. Probably a week or so.

All right. All right. We'll start with five nights at Freddy's two. from 2025, brand new. I'll go last. All right. Anyone can survive five nights. This time, there will be no second chances.

Is that a synopsis, or is that on the poster? Yeah, what the heck. There's much of a synopsis. Or is it really correct? Director is Emma Tammy, also known for The Wind. I don't know what that is. No, friend of the show. Jay and I interviewed her for The Wind.

Saddle up back in the day. Like eight years ago or something. I'm glad she made it big, man. Cash in those paychecks. Awesome. Friend of the show. Director of Five Knites of Freddy's Two. Writer is Scott Cawthorne,

also known for all the Freddy's video game scripts and the first film. Okay. Makes sense. With the budget of 51 million, this marks the most expensive Blumhouse production to date, surpassing five nights at Freddy's, which had a $20 million budget.

Which I believe I read the opening weekend and made over $109 million. This one did? Yeah. Okay. So it doubled its budget. Or not double his budget, but made its money. All right.

Brian, what do you think? I didn't like it as much as I did the original, or the first one. Me too. I will say I did notice where the money went because the animatronics looked better. Yeah. That looked good, but I thought Matthew Lillard was extremely underused in the movie. Yeah, Skeed Ulrich was in this, too, for about 10 seconds.

And I was just about to say that they advertised basically like a scream reunion with these guys. and Skeet Ulrich was basically a cameo in this movie. Yeah, if that. Fucking. And I will say the story. Matthew Lillard was a cameo.

Yeah. And I will say the movie, the story kind of had me checked out a little bit. Yeah. So I honestly don't remember a whole bunch about the movie. So I don't know how my review is going to go or my scores in the co because I just I just wasn't into this one and my daughter she said it was fine she said it didn't necessarily go how the games go so she's a big five nights at freddie's

she was she's not as much now but I got you there was a lot I had to look towards her especially like you and me were talking before we were recorded about the Marionette I was like what's that and then she broke it down to me and like oh this is this person. And I was like, uh, maybe I should have rewatched the first one because I'm,

I feel like I'm completely lost. I've never played the games. I've seen her play it. Yeah. I've tried to play like the original one, and I was like, I've got to dump this. And I don't know what everybody was so up in arms

about Megan Fox voicing Toy Cheetah, because if you wanted to told me that was Megan Fox, I wouldn't even notice. I did not know that it was. but I guess that's my review. Sorry, it's a horrible one, but I don't really remember much of the story. I just remember being kind of disappointment

with the usage of Skie Oldrich and Matthew Lillard in the movie. Yeah. And I kind of felt like Josh Hutchison was kind of a secondary. Yeah, he could have totally been left out of this movie and it wouldn't have made a difference. Yeah.

But I will say I do recognize and appreciate the budget went towards the animatronics because they looked pretty good. Yeah. So the little girl in the movie, I think that she did a great job and she's got some promise, but she does have a little bit of an annoying thing happening.

A little Lulu Wilson. Yeah. So I'm trying to decide whether I like her or I don't want to see her on the screen. But she does have a moment towards the end that's uh that's that's pretty cool and it's like okay this is why they picked this girl um i thought uh the ghost busters chick mckenna grace oh i totally forgot she was in the movie has grown into quite a lovely young lady um and she kind of kills it i think for the little

bit of time that she was in the movie um i think everybody was just sort of underused maybe they tried to jam too much stuff into this i don't know yeah plus there was like five nights at freddie's streamers and gamers and YouTubers that were in this movie that completely went over my head oh yeah didn't know that every time i seemed like my daughter have like this kind of reaction on her face i was like who's that she's telling me oh he streams playing the game and i was like oh well that's a thing if I played the game then I'd probably be excited but

people make money by having people watch them play video games like it's what I did with my little brother my entire childhood yeah it was it was kind of this one was kind of just okay for me too

like it wasn't bad but I think I think I enjoyed the first one better um took the kids to see it my daughter was uh the marionette chick for halloween i don't even know if she has a name uh but she was that for halloween and uh put together a pretty fucking awesome costume if i do say so yeah look nice yeah but uh i the kids kind of just thought it was okay too uh they were they were sort of explaining the differences between some of the game lore

and what happens in the movies because like some of the characters are different but some of them were from the first movie too like I guess the daughter of the of Matthew Lillard is that's not who that's supposed to be yeah my my daughter also said that they were kind of merging games into one story

yeah but they enjoyed they enjoyed all the appearances of all the little like tertiary characters you know like the the weird little animatronics

that popped up and I'm like I don't know I don't know who that was but yeah there were people that were excited about it so so yeah

it was it was all right I mean it was a solid movie it wasn't bad um it just wasn't particularly good for me all right nez ten on ten i didn't like the first i didn't like the first movie i thought i thought it was weak i know nothing of the game or the five nights of freddy's lore uh when we watched that first one my son was telling me what it was and this and that i'm like okay and when the movie was over i was yeah all right next sounds like our kids should have been doing

this review instead of us so I didn't care I didn't care for the first movie this movie wasn't made for us yeah and then I mean my grandsons wanted to see it because they they love the first one because they know the game they know the lore

because when we were watching the second one my oldest grandson Daniel he's seven he's like oh that's so and so and the marionette I didn't even know what the hell that was he was like yeah he was like yeah yeah this this and that and that's my favorite character and i'm like okay uh for what it was i mean the my grandsons they loved it they thought it was cool uh my youngest grandson he's five he

he jumped a few times there was a lot of jump scares in this one yeah which i appreciated he like jumped really hard and then he climbed into my lap and he was sitting there and he wasn't like shivering or anything but he he sat there and he watched the whole thing when it was over there like oh yeah they loved it because they got the toys and the games and all the other shit that comes with it

but yeah the first one I didn't care for but this second one this one movie was fucking awesome I loved it it was a million times better than the first movie and I loved all the stuff that was happening the new I didn't even know there was

I thought that five nights at freddies was in the first film i thought that was like the only one i didn't know there was a original one that had all that other stuff i said dude that would have been awesome to go to that one had a boat ride and everything in there got a river all those animatronics were cool and the marionette thing was was spooky and just all of it i was like man i want to go see this again and i'll buy it when it comes out because i was like man i was all in i first I was just sitting there, I was just trying to kill some time with my grandsons because they were like, I don't want to see it, I want to see it.

And I'm like, all right, let's go. So we went and saw it. The theater in my little town, it's the projector, is it very bright? And this is a really dark movie. I was kind of like, fuck, man. I said, I want to come see it over in like one of the cinemarks of the galaxies. And I'll probably see a little bit more during all the dark scenes when they were in Five Nights and Freddy's when they were running around in the dark and everything.

So, but everything was in it. I had no idea. McKenna Grace was in it. I love her. That's a young Sheldon Cooper. That's his little girlfriend in the TV show. Oh. And I liked her when she popped up in Ghostbusters and all the other little things she

always pops up in. I like their little gang, their little YouTube ghost hunter thing. and Matthew Lillard I knew he'd be minimal because spoiler alert you didn't see the first one he died in that one

so I figured it would just been either dream sequences or flashbacks Skeet Oleridge I just assumed Matthew Lillard hey man my buddy wants to be in this movie

and they got him in which was fine I liked his character he didn't really do much for the story but he did give you like okay this and that so like all right cool

so that was really cool little exposition dump yeah him popping in just to be there to kind of move the story along it could have like one scene with stew and billy though one flashback yeah i don't think i don't think that would have worked i mean but i don't know who knows me i don't even know they know each other or i don't know i don't remember but but overall i thought it was cool i liked it i liked all the the old five nights of freddies guys how they look like the old chucky cheese ones and then and the original one they

the more updated robot looking guys I thought those were cool and I just thought they did a lot more in this one I was expecting the first one the way everybody was talking about it and seeing clips from the game and it being like creepy

and I'm like oh okay cool and then when I saw the first movie I was like what's the fascination in this shit so that's all I went into this one not expecting much I just my grandma Like I said, I'd see whatever they want to see. I'm going to be that cool grandpa and take them to whatever. But I felt a little bad.

I was like, man, because, yeah, they were jumping and they were the youngest kids in there. Everyone else was like teenagers and all that. Right. So I was like, but, I mean, I was all right with it. They watched the first one, so I figured it can't be as bad as that one. this one had a little bit more, a little scary or imagery and the jump scares and all that. But, I mean, they want to see it again as well. I said, you guys, at first I was like, are you guys scared?

Buster was, he was like, yeah. And Daniel, it took him a minute. I looked at him and went, I'm scared. So he kind of leaned over towards me, too. And I said, it's almost over. Let's just get through it. But now, when it was over, they were like, oh, man, that was good. That was scary and this and that.

so but nice i took it for what it was and like i said i don't know much of these characters and i don't know the story of the whole thing so i mean i just go to watch these movies just entertain me like um that movie came out earlier this year uh until dawn i played a little bit of that game and i don't know much about it and the way everyone was talking about it before i saw like i's got another to do with the game it was horrible and da da da so i was expecting it to be horrible but And I was sitting there watching, I left the theater like, that was fucking awesome. I loved it. So this one as well, I was like, okay, let's go see it just to have them shut up for a couple hours, give them some popcorn and soda and candy and all that.

I'm that cool grandpa. I'll buy them whatever they want. I don't care. I went my whole life going to the movies, like by myself or with my friends. I had enough to get in and I had enough to buy me a box of hot tamales. It was rare that we ever. It was rare that we ever got popcorn. When I went to the driving with my mom and dad,

we had to make our popcorn, put it in a paper grocery bag, and that was it. We never got to go to the snack bar and get snacks and everything. Oh, man, we're all made popcorn. It's never the same. They brought everything in with us, leftover dinner and all that. So that was it. But now that I'm like, I got a good job, and I'm going to take my grandsons.

or wherever they want to go and I'm going to spoil them and I'm going to buy them the popcorn. I'm going to buy them the $10 candy bars and all that shit and the slushies and everything else. So I'm like I'm that one. I don't care. I want them to enjoy it. I want them to remember me like, yeah, my grandpa took me

to see this. It bought us whatever we wanted. Yeah. So, but yeah, again, I thought the movie was awesome. I loved it. And again, I want to see this movie again. Nice. Wow. All right. uh let's go scores and then we'll hit some spoilers brian what do you think right now just because

i don't remember a lot of the movie i'm going to give it a six and a half and a lot of that was i see and recognize where the money went into the the effects and the animatronics i do appreciate that and i'm definitely going to rewatch it and i'll probably update my score later but right now it's going to be a six and a half not bad I think a six and a half is probably about where it deserves I think it was

it was all right you know don't hate it but uh it's not a 10 it's not a 10 here we go uh

with two and an eight eight and a half on a nine oh wow um it's not hella good but it's good no it was but i mean it wasn't a 10 i mean until dawn was a 10 that was awesome yeah fair enough this i'll give i'll give this one a 9 like i said i really enjoyed it and i know

nothing of the whole lore or the game or anything i just went in there like i said just entertain me and i was entertained with the whole thing i think i only jumped because my grandsons were jumping but there was some like i said there was some scary imagery in this and When we get the spoilers, I'll say what that was. But, yeah, I'll give it a nine. Damn. Can't ask for more than that. All right.

Well, we're in spoilers. So what was it? 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.

When McKenna Grace's character got possessed. And when she was... Oh, that sounds creepy. When she was learning, when they went into the original Five Nights of Freddy's and they were walking around and she was creeping around the background. You just seen her quick shots of her head and she kind of looked like, she had the blonde hair, but she had the marionette face. Yeah. Oh. That shit was spooky.

And I thought they did a good job of both times when they put the humans in the marionette stuff. Yeah. it looked great i mean even the the the beginning story of that one little girl how we we find out that at the original five nights at freddies that uh that guy was back there murdering kids luring kids to the back and and murdering them and i mean i felt sorry in that place was an asshole yeah like how did they not catch this motherfucker he's just murdering kids in the middle of the day somebody didn't go hey where's my son i'm so i running around talking about we i I need help.

There's somebody in trouble, and everybody's like, I'm talking right now. I know. I can agree with that scene. As a kid of the 80s, I'm, yeah, some, hey, man, something. There was something that happened. It was pretty bad. And I remember I was running to tell people what happened. And everyone was kind of like, eh, all right, whatever.

And, I mean, even other things. I mean, going to go into a bowling out, my mom and dad bowled on Friday nights. And that's going, hey, man, someone's over there's getting beat up or whatever. And they're like, okay, whatever. Maybe they deserved it. I mean, it was. So that whole scene, I was sitting there going, God, damn. I mean, someone just must have been following me with a camera and filming my life when I was a kid.

So, I mean, I, I, I don't know, whoever wrote the story or maybe they were talking to some old people. And yeah, man, that's how it was in the 80s. And that was like, man, that was like spot on on that scene. But it was it was sad on what happened and how that girl was just being like the outcast, the towel. I felt sorry for her the way she was just sitting there waiting for the marionette to pop out of the stage. And then the workers were like, she always does that. Just leave her alone. And I was like, that was like she said, that was her friend.

Every time she came there, she would sit there and get some enjoyment for a few minutes instead of the real world being. fool to her. She was the weird emo kid back in the day. Yeah. So, I mean, I liked what was going on there. And then yeah, once it kicked in and we find out why all this was happening and

it went more supernatural if anything. And I was like, oh, okay, so it was really cool. But, I mean, I liked it. Did you guys stick around for the extra stuff at the end during the credits? Yes. I did, but I don't know what's going on.

Did you stay all the way to the end? Were the extra credit scene and then the little audio thing? The audio stuff at the end, yeah. Oh, no, I didn't know that it was extra stuff. Skeet Oler, his character came back. They didn't show it. It was just audio. It was like he did a phone call.

And he was explaining some stuff on some more on the marionette and what he knew and what's to come in the third film. so i was like oh i was juiced after all that that gave me that got me real hyped up at the end because everyone after that first uh initial mid credit scene everyone got up and left yeah but then as we were walking out i asked the guy that was clean i said is there anything in the end he goes there's nothing like to see but there's some audio so we stuck around to hear it and it was skeet all which's character and he was explaining what was going to what's coming and i was like oh man so i'm juiced the after credit the after

credit scene is what I thought was going to happen for the movie with Matthew Lourdes ghost possessing the animatronic yeah I guess that was the spring trap yeah so I'm told

I just figured they're saving that for the third film because we had the whole I think that would have overshadowed the whole marionette thing so I mean so I was kind of like all right so I see what's to come because that last shot of

Matthew Littleer's daughter at the end before it ended when Josh's I don't remember his name but his character was like, get away from us and that was a thing that I was like, why are you leaving your house?

That was your guys' house. Throw her out but they all ended up leaving and then she got possessed by the Marionette and I was like, oh and then the movie was over and I was like fuck But, I mean, just, like I said, what's to come? I mean, if you guys have any of you listening, stuck around for it.

And again, I know nothing of any of this. I'm just enjoying what they're showing us. And, man, that ending got me hyped for the third film. And I watched that one be garbage. But I'm just, I'm excited for what's to come. And, like, yeah, the imagery stuff, there was a lot in it. There was creepy and spooky. And they really pushed the PG-13 because when, I think it was Chica, killed Newman, the teacher, he's only Newman in my eyes for you, Seinfeld Watchers.

Oh, Newman, okay. Was that same guy? Is that who that was? Oh, man. He's thinner. I knew I recognized him, but I couldn't quite figure out who it was. That was dupid. So, I mean, he was, yeah, he was being Newman.

He was being an asshole, and he was the asshole teacher. I was just about to say he was another asshole adult. in this movie when he smashed her her science product or animatronic. Yeah. Right. Yeah. And it was like, oh, you don't have to be here anymore. You can go home and I'll clean this trash up.

Oh, man. He was an asshole in Jurassic Park. Yeah. I think I laughed at that part because I think the kid in the background said, what an asshole. He was like, who said that? Yeah. I mean, he got the words, man. She could pick him up by the head. I want to

see what's inside your head and then just started. Oh, wow. Yeah, I thought that was going to be really cool. It was an off-screen kill, but they showed everything leading up to it. So you kind of got the gist. I was, yeah, I was thinking while they were doing it, I was like, man, it kind of would have been cool to see his head get squished. Unrated version coming out, right?

So, I mean, yeah, they pushed the envelope on this one. I mean, so I was like, all right, cool, I'm with it. Because I need to rewatch the first one again because I had to go back and look. I said, is this the same little girl from the first movie? And is this the same Matthew Lillard's daughter, the actor? Is this the same woman from the first film? So I'm like, oh, yeah, I went in Miami-B and went, okay, okay. So I'm like, you know what, let me go back and rewatch the first one.

I haven't watched the re-watched the first one yet. But I'm going to go back and watch that. and so I can like, okay, I know who these characters are because I must have just not been paying attention with the first film. So, I mean, with this one, again, I was sitting there like, okay, my grandsons are happy, so. But as that first scene, when we were, like I said,

when I were talking about that girl that everyone was being mean to, I was like, man, that's fucked up. And then what happened? And even her, they pushed it right there. when I assume it was Matthew Lillard that came behind her dressed up in one of the

the characters and with a knife and just ran up and then they it was an off-screen kill or happened and when she came stumbling out

and was holding that kid and then fell to the ground you saw those stab marks in her back I was like damn so nobody came to her

check her out and they just watched her fall in the trap door yeah i mean she fell out there and i thought that was cool when she fell in then when the marionette came up she was holding her holding her because she was saying she was like the marionette's my friend that's why i like to come here and and give her my attention so i thought that was really cool when the marionette came up holding her and that little girl was dead so i was like god damn man that's rough i said they're starting all this one with a with a bang i had to keep telling my grandsons, I was like, what you guys see, it's all pretend. It's all fake. She's fine. She's not

hurt and everything. They're like, okay, I know, I know. I just need to say that. Just so, because, yeah, man, I was getting those looks from other people like, you brought these little kids to see this movie. Well, yeah. But, yeah, mind your business. That opening, yeah, that's true. That opening scene where the marionette comes up and it's holding the body. is is pretty solid um i i also liked when the marionette popped up over the gift box and like took out mckinna grace and uh yeah i and even when they did the the marionette makeup on the little girl towards the end um that's when i was like oh that's why they okay she's she's working at this psycho character but like during the movie

when she's like playing all sweet and stuff it's like too much like she's she's a little too innocent and she's like oh i love my fucking friends i like the ones that tried to fucking murder you maybe you don't love those guys yes that's what i want to rewatch the first one i was like weren't they trying to kill all you guys and she was like yeah i i remember at the end when they were I guess kind of helping her out but I was like I was a little lost when she was my friends my friends and I was like wait what and I was like okay

I said I better go back and watch the first one the other part I liked that was pretty creepy is when those little paranormal investigators when they went in there McKenna Grace and her crew and that one kid went into the tunnel where the water is

and then he fell in he fell in the water and all those things I think there were a small little marion that's on the wall. He came out of the water and they were grunge. The kid from the Chuckie series. Yeah. I was like,

hey, get out of the fucking water, retard. That's what I was saying. I was like, dude, climb out of the water. Why are you still in the water?

How did you fall in in the first place? It's like a three foot long thing. And two different people just slid right in. Yeah. I mean, I mean, even if you ride the, what's the thing of Disney?

in a small world or even a pilotic Caribbean. Sure, sure. That's maybe knee-high water. I don't even think it's like a foot or two, maybe, but I'm like, you can stand up in that thing. This one was like hella deep because it was like barely like his neck was sticking out of the water. Yeah, he was like deep in there. And I'm like, man, that park's been closed down for who knows how long.

You don't know what the fuck's in that water. Dude, get out. And whatever that. that thing that was in the water with the little propeller hat came coming at him and then chewed him up and the water got all red.

I was like, oh, man. Oh, wow. That was one of the ones where my kids were excited about the thing that showed up and I'm like, I don't know what this. Yeah, I didn't either. Perpeller hat, huh?

So and so, I was like, okay. But like I said, yeah, they pushed the envelope in this one. I mean, there was a lot more in it and a little more violent than the first one. So I was like, all right, cool. When I first heard that they were making these movies, and especially my son, it was to tell me,

I hope they're ready at all right. Then, of course, I mean, they want the money, so they've got to be PG-13. And this, I know the reviews for this were, like, bad. Like, they were really bashing it, but it made, like, three times it's money already. Yeah. Fuck the reviews, right?

That's what I'm saying. I'm like, man, they, they, what the, of course Hollywood you everyone wants to get paid and they did they made their they fucking made their budget back three times over so like good

good for you guys so obviously since they made so much more money give us they're going to give us a third film so whole franchise I'm sure well I it's kind of an intro to horror the way that it is now which works I mean because it definitely is geared around kids

but I think maybe as time goes on if they keep making these they're going to start getting darker and more R-rated and it could turn into a whole new franchise I see it turning into a TV show if anything

really oh that might be cool I can see that but if they are I mean I don't think they would make a rated R version of this because it's geared towards the kids I mean there's toys and all that

yeah I think they might I think they might at some point I mean, it's not like when we were kids, man, they, they had fucking alien, was rated at R. And they had alien toys and robocop toys and rambo toys and all that. That's true. But as they grow older, I think that maybe we'll start to get something a little more serious. They might demand something, right?

Yeah. I mean, because, like, the fans of the show, right, or the fans of the game right now are still very young but like dude my son knows it in and out and he is he just turned 15 yeah he's getting older they're getting up there so maybe maybe in the next

say 10 years or something they start starts getting a little heavy next three or four I'll bet we'll see we'll see like Nez says there has to be this third one right because they left no doubt Nez that there's going to be a third one yeah there's another there's another one

coming so just make it good that's all I want so I mean again I was excited that we were getting more I didn't even know we were getting the second one because I didn't really care for the first and everyone was

it wasn't like the game and I mean you know how if you listen to me how grippy I get on dumb shit but yeah I mean overall I mean I enjoyed the film I wasn't expecting much and I probably liked it more than

than my grandsons did but I'm glad I went and saw it with them because they were explaining to me. Well, Daniel was. He's all that so-and-so and this and that. And I'm like, geez, you're seven years old. How do you know about all this? But okay.

So. I know. They know their stuff. You know what? And in 10 years, maybe we'll be talking about this the same way we talk about like the Saw franchise or, you know, Jason and Freddie, you know? Anything that's possible, right?

I mean, because they're, it's, I assume it's going to have a shitload more movies. And at the end of the end of the, the day. It all started with the cheap-ass video game. Yeah. My daughter, Hocke, goes at least four, because she said four is her favorite. Oh. Okay. Well, and they did have a moment in the movie where it was actually kind of similar to the game,

I think, where it was the Hunger Games kid, and he was, like, sitting at the computer tracking the guys. Yeah. Yes. and like he made a joke about there not being a door right on the office and so he had he had to watch out for the animatronics that were in there that would just come and peek around the corner and he had this little mask that he would put on and it would and he was like oh my god I can't believe that worked because they would see it and go it registered animatronic and then they kept walking inside joke yeah and so that that I think was kind of similar to the game so at least stay through that little nod in there. I thought that was cool. I think the only thing I called bullshit on is when they went into the the original one, the new

the new one. And all that merchandise was still there. Yeah. I'm like, no way. All that would be gone. Sure. Are there no crackheads in this town? Exactly. That's a liberty time ago.

And it wasn't like they had a big fence and bordered up the doors or anything. All that stuff would have been gone. Yeah. For sure. So. Fair enough, man.

That little the Freddie thing, like the speaking spell, I thought that was really cool. That's in the trailer. I thought that was neat. And I liked what they did.

Use that to trick. Whatever her name. The little girl. Trick her to, hey, we need your help. Come here. so that's how they lured her there and they found out about that one because when she told her brother he was like what are you talking about you because there's a new place and it's got this and it's got that and he was like what and that's when he found out that there was an original one and my other gripe

obviously this original freddie place was in the town they lived there how the hell did you not know about it but you knew about the other one but i don't know it's a good point just a gripe that's kind of weird oh yeah i had no idea about the one across town right yeah the bigger one the first one the original one which was a million times better yeah so but that that did make me miss chucky cheese i went there recently with my youngest grandson it was his birthday in august going in there it's it's it's not the same i mean when lance and i were kids it was all video games and ski ball that was it that was it Showbiz pizza.

Showbiz pizza place. There was none of this other stuff. I think the only thing you won tickets on was the ski ball. Yeah. Everything else was Pac-Man and Dragonslayer and Defender and all that. That was fun. That was fun. Dragon's a player, man.

That's a great one. You can't even put coins in the games anymore. You've got to buy a little like credit card thing. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Like Dave and Busters. Yeah. And there's no.

Chuck E. Cheese and the Fun Time gang or whatever they were called. Yeah, they got rid of all that. Oh, really serious? They got no Amatronics anymore? No, it's just a big screen. Forget it, man. It's a big, it's a movie screen, and all the people that are characters pop up on the screen.

But Chuckie does come out, but he's not the scary Charles E. Cheese that we grew up. Yes. Yeah, it's a dude in a costume. Yeah, I mean, the kid. kids love it that's what they know i show them i said this is what i grew up with and they're like that's scary there was a girl that played the guitar i used to always try to look up her skirt that was that was the better any of you younger listeners have no idea what we're talking about but that was that was the best man and then when they when this when i first heard about the game my son

was telling me and he didn't know about chucky cheese he was like yeah this place and it's the old pizza place and i said what are you talking about so he showed me i said oh man that's just a chucky cheese rip off and he's like what's that then i had to show him and he was like those are scary i said well that's why it was terrifying you were hard in the 80s yeah kind of creepy it was very creepy i remember thinking it was creepy back then but kind of awesome at the same time but yeah in a totally

non-creepy way dude McKenna Grace is looking pretty beautiful right now like she's growing up quick I maybe it's her hair her hair was gorgeous but she's gonna be

she's gonna be something to fuck with later on man she's gonna be a good actress I think she's only 19 calm down oh I know oh okay all right well at least she's legal I wasn't saying it in a weird way I'm just saying

She was one of those She was one of those kids that like Didn't bother me as a child actor And I think she's got some promise Some hoods fuck I'm excited to see what comes next for her Nez what's going on at the McNez Network man

He's society we just dropped an episode A couple I don't know over the weekend I think I don't remember 352. Yeah, I think we did that Sunday. Yeah, we did it Sunday. So it's out.

We also talked about Five Nights of Freddy's. Of course. Yeah. The New Running Man, the Zissu got out. So I got out to see it, and that movie was awesome. I hate Hang Man. I want to see that. I hate Hang Man or whatever his name is.

But, man, the new running, man, was good. Oh, okay. The actor? I hated him in Twisters. That movie was trash. But he, that's why I didn't want to see it. I was like, oh, hang man's the running man or Ben Richards. I'm still undecided on him.

He's got some stuff that I really love him. Like, I want to hate him, but I kind of don't. He was good in this. I think he's got a future. Glenn Powell, right? Yeah. That new movie he's got coming out looks interesting. And everyone's saying to watch some TV show that he's in.

I don't know what. I forget the name of it. Where is the football player? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The Chad Powers one. That was pretty good. Yeah, it's not bad. He just, he looks like a complete douche.

He will get them. I mean, that's why I don't like it. I didn't like it. But he seems like a good dude. He was an asshole and Maverick and he was an asshole and Twisters. Yeah. And he's the perfect person to cast is that because that, that's what his face looks like. in the running in the running man i was like okay he he was a dad he was worried about his family i need

money and he did the running man so he can support his family so but i thought it was a good movie there's a ton of action and it's rated r so it was awesome ed right did a good job so i mean don't even wait to see that right that's right yeah i love the zisu my brother and everything but Sometimes I can't take his advice on reviews. Because he loves Edgar Wright, so he'll see anything that he makes. So I was like, I was like, I'll see it when I see it. But I'm glad I got to see it in the theater. So, but yeah, man, that movie was awesome.

So I guess that has to be another cool of the week. I think that was the last movie that's on theater. All right. We'll add that in. We'll add that in, man. All right. Yeah, but we got other things just come in. But Brian and I, we kind of went on a mission.
