Starting point is 00:00:10 victims. For those of you delight and dread, who fantasize about fear, who glorify and go. Welcome. You have found the place where the horror returns. Listeners beware. This podcast contains major plot Spoilers and the foulest of language. Join us in celebrating the old and the new, the best, and the worst in horror. This is the podcast that proves the horror never ends. Each episode, we seek out to review a brand new horror movie, then go back and find a classic work with similar themes. Although this week we're doing another special show.
Starting point is 00:01:15 I think they're saving all the horror movies for like September and October. What do you guys think? Yeah, that seems like it. Been a little light on the horror. So we're going with one of our year-end horror, and we're going to hit the year of 1971 this time. Brian, what are the three movies we're going to cover? Vampiro's Lesbos.
Starting point is 00:01:38 Did I say that right? Hey, man. And let's see. Let's scare Jessica to death? and Willard. All right, cool. So, we're going to include spoilers for all of them
Starting point is 00:01:53 because you've probably seen them all if you're listening to the show and be aware that we may use a few four-letter words from time to time. It's a horror podcast, so, you know, we're going to be our rated too. Yeah, well, plus we're reviewing Vampiros Lesbos.
Starting point is 00:02:12 I'm Lance, and with me, as always are my co-host Brian and Phillip. How's it going, guys? It's going pretty good. Doing okay, man. Yeah, we got a hurricane coming, huh? Philip, batting down the hatches, right? That's what they say.
Starting point is 00:02:30 I know I talked about buying a house on the beach last week, so that's still in the process. Hopefully, if it blows down, it does it this weekend. Gotcha. All right, well, I think the hurricane's going to hit way south of here, so we don't have much to worry about. By the time you folks are all listening to this, it'll probably have already passed.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Hey, we have a surprise guest at the Horror Return Studios that you might know if you heard our Halloween show last year, and you're going to hear again this year. Caitlin, tell everybody how you're doing. Hi. I am doing really good. We just got back from doing our nails. Doing your nails? Yeah, it's for a party. Are they black and orange for Halloween? No, not yet. Are you ready for the Halloween show this year? Yeah, I'm super ready. Cool. We know we're going to talk about
Starting point is 00:03:20 Medea's Halloween Part 2, right? There's Medea number 2. Oh, yeah. I'm going to make Brian see it. Really? We look forward to seeing you again for Halloween. Okay, bye. Peace. All right, guys. That was an exclusive for you, and it was right there.
Starting point is 00:03:43 That's right. There you go. Sneak creep. You're going to be famous one day. So we got, we're going to have, we're going to have all the guests on again this year, right? Yeah. Yeah, we'll make it happen. They might actually talk a little more this year, mine at least.
Starting point is 00:03:59 I think so. Yeah. I think I think my older two are actually going to come on this time. Oh, cool. Yeah, if they can squeeze it into their busy schedule. We'll make it, we'll make it a family affair for sure. Yeah, this time you won't get them to shut the fuck up. Trust me, I try.
Starting point is 00:04:18 All right, well, that's what we're counting on. Makes for good theater, for sure. Hey, Philip, I don't know if you've been as busy as I've been this week, man, but have you had time to hit a cooler the week? I literally, like, haven't watched anything. I guess I can go last week's Game of Thrones, even though it was kind of my cool little week last week. but that was a really kick-ass episode.
Starting point is 00:04:43 It deserves a second running. Also, was that episode six? Yeah, the one were... Yeah, I just watched that this morning. Oh, how awesome was that? Yes. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:04:58 I love that scene with the dragon at the end. Yeah, that's one of the best episodes I've seen so far, I think. Yeah. And then when we... were watching the trailers. You know what? I'll get into that in the trailer park. So, yeah, Game of Thrones is going to be my cool of the week.
Starting point is 00:05:18 What about you, Brian? Since he went Game of Thrones, I'm going to go with Checked Out last night, the first episode of Mr. Mercedes. Oh, yes. I like that show. Yeah, and I'm an agreeance with Jim Lough over at Finch that this is probably the best
Starting point is 00:05:40 Stephen King show I've seen so far and I'm only one episode in it hooked me like the first the first what five ten minutes of the episode sure it was pretty it was really brutal
Starting point is 00:05:54 and just the interaction the killer has with his mom is really fucked up and so far I'm in This is a great show. And I like Brendan Gleason.
Starting point is 00:06:11 I always liked him as an actor. And he's like the main detective or retired detective in the show. So definitely I think people should at least check out the first episode. Yeah, it's definitely, I'll say that it's definitely more of a straight adaptation of the book. Whereas a lot of the TV shows, they really change them up from how the book is written. but this one almost goes like beat for beat, page for page with what happens in the novel, at least so far.
Starting point is 00:06:44 I've seen like, well, I'm like you, man, I'm only seeing like the first episode. See, I feel like if they're going to do a book into a movie, I think that they should do it
Starting point is 00:06:56 in a TV show kind of setting, just because they have so much. Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah, leeway, you know, like they can put all those little details in, and I think it works better. well i'll tell you what another another show that i'm only one episode in but uh this is gonna be my my cool of the week you guys heard about this new uh jessica beale show on on u s a that's called
Starting point is 00:07:20 uh the center oh yeah yeah dude it's fucking graphic you like yeah right for usa i mean it's like a hard r rating yeah at least that first episode well actually a lot of it's pretty graphic, yeah. I'm digging that, man. I'm watching it with my wife right now. It's getting real, like, law and order SVU-ish. That I'm not looking forward to. See, but I'm okay with that, because I love that show. But, dude, there's no mystery. I mean, they show in the first 10 minutes what she literally does, you know, on camera. It's not like, you know, who did the crime, you know? Yeah, but now you've got to figure out why. Ah, okay. All right, well, There's missing the base to come back.
Starting point is 00:08:06 And the first episode is killer. And the rest of it kind of trails off. But it's still interesting. It's still like it. All right. Well, we'll see if it stays the cool of the week next week, right? Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:08:20 Brian, we got any horror headlines to get through? Robert Eggers, who was the director of the witch? Yes. He is doing a young director. Yeah, he is doing a Nospharatu movie. and Anya Taylor Joy, who was also in The Witch, and she was in a split earlier this year. It's said to be in the movie, so basically the witch team is teaming up again. So very interested to see how that goes.
Starting point is 00:08:52 Okay. I just brought up Mr. Mercedes. Stephen King has two movies premiering on Netflix here within an next few months. Gerald's game starring Carla Gugino. Great. That just got a premiere, yeah, that just got a premiere date
Starting point is 00:09:13 on September 29th for Netflix. Cool. And just recently announced 1922 starring Tom Jane. I guess Thomas Jane is going by Tom Jane now. Okay. That's got a premiere date of October
Starting point is 00:09:29 20th. Thomas is For babies. You call me Tom. So it looks like Netflix has got some, uh, struck some kind of deal like with Stephen King. So cool. Depending on how these go,
Starting point is 00:09:44 we'll probably get some more, uh, movies or TV shows on Netflix with Stephen King. That'd be great. Uh, let's see. Moving on. It's just another Netflix show. Um, we,
Starting point is 00:09:58 I know we're all anticipating Stranger Things to, um, season three is already greenlit. That was quick. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And possibly, go ahead. Why not?
Starting point is 00:10:11 You know, I mean, it's, everybody is so hyped about season two coming up. I mean, they, it's kind of impossible for this one to fail, I think. Yeah, which was a crazy thing I was reading about it. I guess, um, this wasn't really supposed to happen like this. They meant the, what, who, uh, you pronounce it to, Dufur brothers, Duffer Brothers, better directing it? Yeah, I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:10:36 I'm not sure how you pronounce it. They kind of came out of nowhere, didn't they? Yeah, they originally planned Stranger Things to be an anthology series. So this story is kind of like stretching from their original idea from what I read. That makes sense.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Yeah. I feel like it would have worked better as an anthology series. Except that that first season was so awesome. It's hard not to, it's hard to let go of that when you, you know, you smell franchise. Yeah, good, good point. There's still so much more they can do with it, though, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:17 Yeah. And with the news that season three was greenlit, they said there's possibly going to be a fourth season. And if it goes to a fourth season, they'll end it in the fourth season, or at least the storyline. Oh, that's cool. Hey, four seasons is a good run. I like that. Yeah. Still pretty short and sweet, you know?
Starting point is 00:11:40 They're not going to overdo it. Exactly. Less chance of jumping the shark, right? Yeah. And on to our final bit of news, which I saved it for the last, because they just confused the hell out of me. Warner Brothers and D.C. have announced a Joker movie. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Let me, oh, yeah. Oh, no. Let me, let me get through this because it's confusing. No Jared Litto, right? Yeah. Okay, they're announced that they're doing an origin story for the Joker, which is going to be directed by Todd Phillips, who is most famous for The Hangover Movies and produced by Martin Scorsese.
Starting point is 00:12:22 And this will not have. I thought I misheard that when I heard somebody announce that. Like, what? Yeah, and it will not start Jared Leto, and it will not be part. of the DCEU. Really? And here's the confusing thing.
Starting point is 00:12:37 A couple days later, they announced a second Joker movie that will have Jared Leto and Margot Robbie in it and will be part of the DCEU. So I don't, this just really confirms that they don't know what they want to do over at Warner Brothers. Wow. Or what the hell they're doing to begin this. Yeah. And I just read today.
Starting point is 00:13:01 there's more confusion about the Batman movie. No. Really? What a surprise. Yeah, Ben Affec is Batman, but he might not be the Batman in the Matt Reeves Batman movies. And then there was a story coming out that he will be the Batman in the Batman movies, but the movies might not be connected to the current DC universe. So it's a mess over there.
Starting point is 00:13:31 you know i'm not totally uh sold that he's still going to be batman because it was it was ben affleck who came out and said yeah i'm still batman right yeah did you guys uh see that uh his brother had said he didn't think he was coming back uh k c a flack i didn't hear about see i i feel like he's i feel like he's just saying that to to try not to draw too much media attention and and and send this DC universe down, like even further down the shitter. You know, I, like, I feel like he's trying to do the decent thing instead of being like, nah, fuck those guys. I'm not being Batman.
Starting point is 00:14:15 He's like, yeah, no, I'm still going to be bad man, totally. And it's not actually going to happen. Jesus Christ. So, um, there's a lot of speculation that, because they came out with the title for the Flash movie, which is Flashpoint. and that whole storyline is like alternate timelines and there's a lot of speculation that this is probably well they'll change things up so you can never know you have different kind of news coming out every month about the same topic so you don't know what to believe until you actually see it so they're good to say it in the news they just can't do anything right yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:15:00 And that was like I said That was a slow news week And that's all the news we have All right boys Let's take our little trip down to the trailer part First one we're going to talk about is the houses October built Two
Starting point is 00:15:18 Starring Brandy Schaefer Zach Andrews Mikey Row and Bobby Row Directed by Bobby Row So one of that is the director Yeah, I like it. I'm pumped up for this. Did you guys see the first one?
Starting point is 00:15:35 Yeah. That's why I'm into this one because it looks like more of what we got from the first one. Just on a slightly, it looks like maybe on a slightly bigger scale. Maybe, but it still looked pretty intimate to me. You know, it's still kind of look like an indie movie. Yeah, as far as the movie, it looks like it has an indie feel. but a couple of the settings looked like it was on a bigger scale. Like there was a scene.
Starting point is 00:16:03 It looked like there was maybe a haunted house attraction that just had it. It looked like a whole bunch of people were there. Yeah, I saw that scene. I was trying to figure out what the heck was going on there. I see. I never saw the first one, but this looks super fucking creepy. I think it's a cool idea. And I'm actually really excited to go back and watch the first one now.
Starting point is 00:16:28 Yeah. Yeah, you need to. check it out. And there's a couple of characters that I noticed were in the first one that they brought back, Brian. Yeah, I noticed that. Especially the
Starting point is 00:16:41 haunted house clown characters, especially the creepy baby face, doll-looking one. Yeah. Great idea for a horror movie, man. It's a great. Absolutely, man. Yeah, I love it. I believe the first one's still on
Starting point is 00:16:56 Netflix, I think. Oh, is it? Oh, yeah, because I've pulled past it and never actually committed to watching that one. Yeah, it's pretty good. It's definitely, it's a good watch. I'm going to watch it tonight. You know what it kind of reminded me of was a movie that Rob Zombie wished he had made. I think it got that zombie vibe a little bit, but it still had more of like a small-scale feel to it,
Starting point is 00:17:24 like an independent horror movie. You know, just more of a... I don't know. It was really cool, man, the way that they got, and I'm sure a lot of the people that made the movie and are in this one, like, have backgrounds working in different haunts around the country and stuff like that. So I'm sure there's a lot of tie in there and they bring their expertise to the forefront. But, yeah, man, it looks really cool. I can't wait for this one. Is it found footage? It looked like it was, and I usually don't like found footage, but I'll go for this one for sure. Yeah, I think this one might be a mixture of found footage and just regular movie style shot.
Starting point is 00:18:05 I'm all right with that. You throw a little found footage in there. That's cool. People are going to bitch about it, but I like it. Yeah, I'm good. We don't have long to wait September 22nd. All right. Oh, awesome.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Okay, moving on to our next trailer. A little late on this one. one actually came out around Comic Con time. My Friend Dahmer. Starring Ross Lynch, Anne Hache,
Starting point is 00:18:35 in, oh my gosh, I'm going to mess this name. Vincent Carthese. Cartheser. That sounds about right. Not Vincent D'Anofrio. No.
Starting point is 00:18:47 Okay. Directed by Mark Myers. I don't think any relation to Mike Myers. I don't know, man. This looked pretty bad. This looked like a fucking TV drama or something. Yeah, this is, um, no.
Starting point is 00:19:02 This is, uh, from what I got, this is based off of a novel from, uh, Durf, back, this is actually his name, Durf back Durf. That's not a real name, dude. Come on. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. It says based on the acclaim, it says based on the acclaim graphic novel by Durf backdurf. Oh, boy. I don't even have anything to say about that.
Starting point is 00:19:32 I have something to say about the whole thing. I hope you two guys enjoy watching this movie. It didn't strike you as any kind of interesting enough? It's supposed to be like some kind of true, true accountings of Jeffrey Dahmer in high school. Right. Serial killer, incarnate. I love it. I wanted to watch it.
Starting point is 00:19:51 That was going to be my other part of the cool of the week. because as soon as I finished watching this one, you know how you get into weird places in YouTube, right? And videos just kind of pop up. Well, the next one that popped up was an interview with Jeffrey Dahmer on like MSNBC or something right before he got executed. Right. And so it was really cool to go and revisit that whole case
Starting point is 00:20:17 and to hear Jeffrey Dahmer talk about all the things that he did. and it was like just this compulsion. It's not like he wanted to do it. He had to do it. And he was one of those people that wanted to get caught. And it's truly sorry for what he did. He just couldn't stop himself. And even during the interview, when he's on death row, he's like, yeah, I mean, that stuff, it doesn't go away.
Starting point is 00:20:44 I mean, it's still in my head. I still dream about that stuff. Mm-hmm. You know, I still have that compulsion. I don't know It seems It seems super interesting And that's the guy from American Horror Story, correct?
Starting point is 00:21:01 I'm not sure I don't know, man I didn't recognize him But you know how they can look different When they're See, I thought it was definitely him Anyway Oh, no, it's not who you're thinking of
Starting point is 00:21:13 Dude, this is a This is a little schmuck From a fucking Disney show Austin and Allie Oh Oh, okay. Yeah, this little douchebag fucking punk plays this kid. You know what?
Starting point is 00:21:28 He just turned me off even worse. Jesus Christ. I thought it was the guy from my second horror story. I was really excited about it because I liked it. I know. Oh, you're talking about... We'll see. Evan, what's his name?
Starting point is 00:21:45 Evan Peters. Yeah. Yeah, thanks, but no thanks on this one. well it sounds like two of us will be checking it out November 3rd we got a release date Can't get here soon enough right And our last trailer we're going to talk about Is a new Netflix movie called Little Evil
Starting point is 00:22:11 It's little evil a Disney movie to Is Little Evil a Disney movie? Is Little Evil a Disney movie? Little Evil? Uh, uh, uh, no, no, the Austin Alley, the Austin and Alley thing. It was back from the my friend Dahmer, the, he went from a Disney show to serial killer. Hey, man. A lot of them do that.
Starting point is 00:22:36 It seems like, right? Or drug, drug, addled addict or whatever. Well, why not? I mean, whatever. He's got to go through his bad boy phase, I guess. I guess so. All right. A little evil coming to.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Netflix starring Evangeline Lilly, Adam Scott, Owen Atlas, Clancy Brown, and Tyler Labine. This one I'm looking forward to. Which, uh, the, what's her name, Eva Angelina? Evangeline Lily. Yeah, met her from Lost.
Starting point is 00:23:14 It's nice to see her in something again. Mm-hmm. Um, we actually, I posted a, uh, the poster for this on Instagram and the account for Owen Atlas, who plays the kid.
Starting point is 00:23:28 He actually responded to us saying that, really? He had a lot of fun working on this movie. So, I don't know if it was him or whoever controls his Instagram account, but. It was probably him. He's not like a huge actor yet or anything,
Starting point is 00:23:43 is he? Yeah. You said it was the kid? Yeah. His, his account fate. Yeah. A little little kid?
Starting point is 00:23:54 Wow. So you're actually communicating with the son of Satan? Yeah. I'm interested in this.
Starting point is 00:24:01 I like how when you first see him in the trailer, he's got his little Damian Oman outfit on. Right. You know who he looks like?
Starting point is 00:24:10 ACDC? He looks like, yeah, Angus. I knew you were going to say there. I mean, I'm sure that's intentional. How.
Starting point is 00:24:21 way to hell and all. Oh, man. That was great. And another thing that caught my attention was this is directed by Eli Craig, who's, he directed Tucker and Dale versus Evil and also Zombie Land. Oh, wow. Okay. No wonder it looks so good.
Starting point is 00:24:40 So. And I like that dude from Parks and Rec, man. I think he's funny. Adam Scott. Yeah. Like there's a part of me that he kind of irritates me. But there's a bunch of them like that, though. But for the most part, he's pretty funny.
Starting point is 00:25:00 Yeah, this is definitely, I'm going to be checking this out. This is also coming real soon, September 1st, and it's going to be on Netflix. Oh, man, I can't wait. I'm really looking forward to this one. This looks like a lot of fun. This kind of looks like that older movie Problem Child. but it's kind of like dialed up to 11 Like the horror version of Problem Child
Starting point is 00:25:27 Exactly I like it Yeah Daming mixed with Problem Child On the list man And that is our last trailer All right Some good ones Phil
Starting point is 00:25:40 We got any feedback So Eric King He sent us pictures of his kids' room And guess what it's full of Santo posters He said, El Santo is so money. Even my toddler's room pays homage. Right.
Starting point is 00:25:58 Yeah, can't argue with that, man. That's pretty awesome. That's, look, you're raising your kid right. And then in our poll with what is the best horror movie so far this year, get out of still leading the pack, followed by Annabelle Creation. Melissa Stevens, two dead chicks, yeah? She says, Get Out was legit one of the best movies I've ever seen in a long time. A long time with like...
Starting point is 00:26:32 I agree with you. Yeah. Thomas Mariani, he says, I'll go Get Out, though the untraditional horror of a ghost story is gorgeously depressing and my favorite movie of the year. I've heard a lot of good things about that movie. I haven't seen it. Really want to see that one.
Starting point is 00:26:53 It's Casey Affleck, right? Really? Yeah. Okay. Dude, I don't even know what that is. I'm going to totally check it out. Yeah, I kind of, we never reviewed the trailer because when I seen the thumb,
Starting point is 00:27:08 what do you call them thumbnails on YouTube or whatever, whatever the picture, it was basically Casey Affleck, with a sheet over him. So I didn't know how legit of a horror movie this was, but I've heard nothing but good things about this movie. Casey Affleck, man. He's an up-and-comer, dude.
Starting point is 00:27:27 He does some really good stuff. We got to check it out. Might be somebody's cool this week next week. Maybe. And we did another poll this week. What horror franchise are you most excited to see come back? Jigsaw is in the lead, obviously. Obviously, come on.
Starting point is 00:27:50 Jay Black says neither, actually. Joining the continuation of a newer franchise such as The Conjuring. You know what? I'm not mad at that answer. No, not bad. Not a bad at answer at all. Yeah. Adam Bunch says, come on, Hellraiser.
Starting point is 00:28:09 Yeah, okay. I can be excited about that, too. Josh Youngblood says, I'm so worried about leather face. It says, that shit has been sitting on a shelf for years and they finally decided to release it. Cult of Chucky and Jigsaw both look awesome.
Starting point is 00:28:31 Oh, geez. Leatherface has got some potential, I think. Man, I hope it doesn't suck. I guess we're going to find out. Patrick Clear says Amityville, L.O.L. What? Not happening this year. Not anytime soon, huh?
Starting point is 00:28:53 Is that the one with Bella Thorne in it? Yeah, that was made like five years ago or something. Right. She's going to be like too old by the time it comes. Oh, geez. Regarding American Horror Story cult, Stephen Loblad, just hoping they keep the damn politics out of it. That's not going to happen. That is probably
Starting point is 00:29:18 not going to happen at all. I know, right? But that was when I first heard about it, I haven't watched the trailer yet. But when I first heard about what was coming in it, I was thinking, oh God, here we get. More politics.
Starting point is 00:29:34 You haven't seen the trailer? No, I haven't watched it. Yeah, they hit you over the head with it immediately. Yeah. Well, yeah, that's what I've heard. And I mean, it's, it takes place on the day that, uh, Trump gets elected or something like that, right? Yeah. Yeah. So I'm, I'm pretty sure it'll be pretty politically driven, which should be fun to get pissed off about. For everyone.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Fucking Facebook on TV. Uh, Marcus Will Turner sent us a kick-ass poster for it. Um, artist Oliver Barrett. Come on, September. Yeah, that one I'm super stoked about. Lars from Denmark, as his official name now, sent us a couple of reminders during the week. He says, happy Texas chainsaw Massacre Day. And HP Lovecraft's birthday. Okay. Yeah. I think that was, what, like the 20th? I think it was like Saturday or Sunday,
Starting point is 00:30:39 if I remember correctly. Yeah, thanks now. I didn't know that it's a Texas Chainsaw Masker Day, but if anybody knows it, it's Lars from Denmark. We should probably do a show of HP Lovecraft-inspired movies sometime. Oh, yeah, that'd be great. Yeah, that'll be fun. And Patrick recommended doing a Vincent Price show, too. Oh, that'd be it.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Yeah, so plenty of ideas. That's it for listener feedback this week. Thanks to everybody who reaches out to us. the feedback. As always, you can reach us at our Facebook or Podbean page, or you can email us directly at thehorroriturns.com. We love to hear from you, and, you know, let us know what you think. We'll put you on the show and
Starting point is 00:31:25 maybe hook you up with a T-shirt. All right. Well, you know what? Since you said that, I've got an announcement to make. I've got a finally got a date for the T-shirt printing. And I'm going to try to print everything at once, so we need to get these contest entries in pretty quickly for anybody who wants to get a t-shirt.
Starting point is 00:31:49 We're actually, we print them up on the 23rd. I'm going to need to know who gets one and their size before then. I've already got a list of about five people that we owe t-shirts to, so guys, you know who you are, haven't forgotten about any of you. But there's two ways to win a t-shirt. And by the way, if you're overseas, sorry Marcy and, uh, you know, um, sorry Marcy and, uh, you know, uh, Bede and whoever else is listening to us from,
Starting point is 00:32:15 from overseas, Lars, of course. Because of shipping costs, rather than a t-shirt, Brian is going to work out some, uh, some codes for you guys for,
Starting point is 00:32:24 for movies. Brian, what do you, what do you think you're going to have available? Um, so far, I'm just going through everything. I still have the both John Wick movies.

Starting point is 00:33:35 And our email address, Philip? The Horror Returns at gmail.com. All right, so that's that. Hi, this is Ronnie Blakely from A Nightmare on Elm Street. You are listening to The Horror Returns. Now we're going to move on to our featured attractions. This week we're going to cover the Year in Horror 1971 with Let's Scare Jessica to Death, Willard,
Starting point is 00:34:07 and Vampiros Lesbos. You two lucky bastards who saw it. Oh, you didn't watch it? Oh, fuck, dude. The week I've had, I was lucky to get in one of these three movies, so. I don't blame me. I don't know how lucky I was.
Starting point is 00:34:25 All right. We'll get to that one. Oh, okay. Well, we'll start with the one I think we all saw. Let's Scare Jessica to Death. Directed by John D. Hancock, also known for Bang the Drum Slowly and Wolfen. Writers were John D. Hancock and Lee Calcheme.
Starting point is 00:34:43 This is actually one of Stephen King's favorite horror movies. Really? Yep, well, according to the trivia, director John Hancock got, and that's his real name, John Hancock, he got the directing job on Jaws 2, in which he was later fired, based on the lake scene where Jessica discovers in Fright the Woman in White Underwater.
Starting point is 00:35:05 So who wants to go first? I'll go first. This was a movie that kind of had a lot of twist and turns. You wasn't sure if the main actress, I can't remember her name in it, was just crazy. Right. And then it would turn, it would take another turn. You didn't know if there was like some kind of paranormal kind of story going on. And then it took another turn, which you didn't know if it was like a vampire movie.
Starting point is 00:35:43 Right. This movie's very twisty, turny. Definitely one of those where you're trying to think of, you know, is she crazy or is this shit really happening the whole time kind of thing? Yeah, even as the movie ends, it still kind of just leaves it up in the air. Yeah. A little bit. Yeah, because it's one of those movies. you know, I can really see the three of us kind of having like different opinions on how how the movie went and finished.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Yeah. And one thing it did really good was the atmosphere in the movie was super creepy, especially the town and all the people in the town were just very strange and eerie. And I enjoyed that. I did you, man. That was my favorite part of the movie. Yeah. And the main, she wasn't the main. the other main actress, because there wasn't too many women in this movie.
Starting point is 00:36:41 The Redhead? Yeah, she was, I don't know. I don't know how to feel about her. Emily, was that, was that her name? The one that was at the house when they showed up? Mary, she, she was, I don't know. It was very weird how she was coming off. Well, that's, they did their job right, you know?
Starting point is 00:37:03 Yeah. You know, you don't even know this person that long, immediately they're like having dinner and all of a sudden let's do a seance and it was just kind of odd everybody was just like well okay let's do a seance you know it was very very odd and even at the very beginning they're like oh there's a crazy person in my house you should stay we'll all just hang out why the fuck not yeah didn't didn't she run from them when they first seen her yeah well she was squatting in their house.
Starting point is 00:37:38 Right. Well, she was, I don't think she ran. I think she was just like, well, I'm, I'm going to get out of here. And then Jessica was like, hey, let's ask her if she wants to stay, you know. But this was 1971, guys. It was a different time. Yeah. I mean, you can't.
Starting point is 00:37:53 There had to be a lot of drugs to that. If there was some random person in my house when I showed up, I'd have been like, yeah, you can't stay here. Sorry. Yeah, 1917. Lots of drugs, lots of free love. people are trying to give peace a chance, you know? I mean, people were just, I think,
Starting point is 00:38:09 a little bit more open. And I think the world was a little safer back then than it is now, too. Yeah, well, and even that scene where they're all at the lake. And, uh, and like they're, they're, it's,
Starting point is 00:38:24 it's not like her, her, her boyfriend or husband or whoever the fuck it is that's giving her a back rub. It's like they're giving, yeah, that was weird. The long chicks a back rub. And I was like,
Starting point is 00:38:34 what the fuck is going on? because I guarantee you if this shit happened in real life, everybody would be hearing an earful, and I would be in definite trouble. Right. Yeah, I'm trying to look it up here. I know this movie originally had a different title that was, like, crazy. Really?
Starting point is 00:39:01 Yeah, I can't find it. All right. Jessica to death isn't crazy enough? No, it was super weird. Like, you can totally see why they chose a different title. But it was something like something about drinking hippie blood or something. Oh, well, I guess that makes more sense. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:24 Yeah, there was a drug. There was a drug, an acid drop or two that went down in the filming of this movie, I'm sure. Yeah, definitely. Can I go next? Or did you have anything else you wanted to say about that part of it, Brian? No, go ahead. All right, I'm sure we'll get back to it too. No, I absolutely fucking love this movie.
Starting point is 00:39:48 This was, like I was saying last week, I really do love the 70 Slow Burn stuff, even though whatever one we were talking about last time, I said it kind of turned me off, it was too slow. But, man, nothing even really happens except just a few, you know, seeing the townspeople and stuff like that where you're really not sure what's going on. None of the big action happens until like the last, what, 15, 20 minutes of the movie, I'd say.
Starting point is 00:40:15 If that, yeah. If that. I love the buildup. I love the fact that, like you were saying, they kept changing the, they were twisting the plot. I don't really want to give the ending away because I really love the way that they wrapped it up. And for me, they wrapped it up perfectly. I knew exactly what was going on. It was exactly what I kind of thought it was from the beginning.
Starting point is 00:40:37 actually. But then they would kind of take it away from that and say, make it look like, well, that's not what it is, you know. But you know what? I think they really weren't afraid to mix a couple of different horror genres in here either. Because like you said, you've got the vampire movie, but then you've got the, you know, just the mind-trip movie of somebody who thinks they're going insane. And then you got like the kind of a home invasion type thing in a way because, you know, she was obviously. obviously, you know, they were nice with her at first, but it seemed like, you know, there was something else going on for sure, which we find out at the end what that was all about,
Starting point is 00:41:16 but, uh... I thought it was a, like, a ghost movie for... I did too. About half of it, yeah. Yeah. They absolutely got me thinking that way as well. And, uh, just the strange characters in town, the antique dealer and, um, all the old guys in town that were just so fucking creepy and hanging out on the car on the guy's car and like, spitting
Starting point is 00:41:37 at him and shit like that. Yeah. The fuck. So it was like, is it a cult type thing? Is it a ghost story? Is it a vampire story? What the fuck is this movie? I really liked it, man.
Starting point is 00:41:48 It messed with my head. I enjoyed it. I liked the way that it was filmed. It looked like a little independent movie. It just, I really enjoyed it. I really did. What did you think, Philip? Man, I wish I liked it better.
Starting point is 00:42:05 I think that there was, An amazing idea in here for a movie. But it was, and it was filmed kind of like an indie movie. It looked very low budget. I think some of the issues I had were like the, the biggest issue I had was that I was dead fucking tired when I was watching it. So like the first half of the movie, because it's kind of a slow burn, I was nod and off. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:32 Sure. But every time they had some sort of weird chase sequence or whatever. whatever, which didn't seem to really serve a whole lot of purpose. They would like, it wasn't, they didn't pull you into it. They just, they dubbed over everything with music and, and there were, there were like no sound effects. That sort of pulled me out of it a little bit. And I felt like the townspeople were really creepy, and I loved that aspect of the movie. and I wish that they had like pushed into that a little further
Starting point is 00:43:09 because I loved the last 20 minutes of the movie like you were saying. But the hour that you had to watch to get there was a little much for me. You know, I really do. I wish I liked it better, but it was kind of just okay for me. That's cool. I can get it.
Starting point is 00:43:35 What did you guys think about the little girl? Was that creepy as hell or what? The one that couldn't talk? Yeah, the one that would show up and just like kind of start running away from her every time she'd be. Yeah, that was dumb. But they didn't really do anything with her. Yeah, but isn't that kind of the point? I mean, she was just kind of serious.
Starting point is 00:43:55 Was she like, was she one of them or did she almost become one of them? Or was she maybe like an even older? Well, I don't want to spoil too much. but I don't know. I really, I really like the, you know what? I think I like more than anything else
Starting point is 00:44:07 about this movie was just the, the really, really creepy atmosphere. Yeah, it definitely has that. I thought it was really well done as far as the atmosphere. And it was like both of the,
Starting point is 00:44:17 both of the chicks were kind of hot, but in a kind of weird, creepy way. Yeah, I think sense. You know what I mean? Yeah, I think that's where I kind of had a problem earlier describing the redhead chick,
Starting point is 00:44:30 because she was, you know, she was kind of hot, but she was also creepy because she was super pale. Yes. Because there's a scene where she's coming out of the water. And it almost looks like she has nothing on, but she's wearing like a white dress or a white, you know, something. Yeah. And it added to her character.
Starting point is 00:44:52 Yeah, I would agree. Yeah. And she was like, she was, I think they tried to make her hotter than she actually was. I think maybe so, too, but something about both of them turned me on a little bit, you know? Yeah, I mean, she had the confidence, and that's really what it takes. Right. Listen, ladies, in general, confidence is fucking hot. Pull that shit off, and you've got a maid.
Starting point is 00:45:18 I don't care what you look like. Life lessons from Philip. There you go. That's going to be a new segment of this show. Oh, man. I have to play some, uh, ladies' man. music and light some candles. Hello,
Starting point is 00:45:36 get a fifth fan with. All right, you guys ready for scores? Yeah. I'll probably go seven. Actually, it was a slow burn that I really dug and I really, I really, like you said,
Starting point is 00:46:03 Lance, the atmosphere kind of really made this movie for me. And the chick was definitely creepy. And I, like I said, the way the movie just kept twisting and turning, it kept me locked into the story. So I'm gonna go with a seven.
Starting point is 00:46:24 Yeah, well, the acid test for me is usually like when we're doing these shows and I'm, you know, I usually have a pretty good idea what my score's going to be going in, but sometimes it changes a lot. The big ascest test for me is I get to thinking, okay, would I want to go watch this movie right now? Like when we get done recording, would I want to go see it again? And that's a resounding yes. Because there's so much in here that I think I'll pick up on the second viewing.
Starting point is 00:46:47 I mean, it's a pretty deep movie. Even though there's not a whole lot that really happens, I really like the buildup. But I give this a good solid eight. I really enjoyed this one. Wow. Well, man, the guy who likes everything is going to be the Buzz Kill. I think they had their own acid test in this movie. I'm going to give it a six.
Starting point is 00:47:11 Hey, that's good, man. Yeah, no, it's not bad. I think it's definitely worth watching, and it's got a whole lot of redeeming qualities. It was just really slow, and the production quality was not awesome. I mean, this thing screams early 70s, late 60s. It is about as dated as it can get.
Starting point is 00:47:33 Which is not necessarily a bad thing. That's kind of a cool era. But, yeah, man, it was kind of fucking weird there for a while. Yeah, and if anybody knows that original title, because I know it had a different title and they changed it. It has something to do with hippie blood. And I cannot find it. It is racking my brain.
Starting point is 00:47:55 I could not find it. I think somebody had an answer test up there in the last year. Yeah. If they changed it and said, let's scare Jessica to death sounds like a way better movie title than it was probably really fucking bad to begin. Wow. Yeah, well, but that name, I thought, I did not expect what we got. I thought it was just going to be about some people that were picking on a chick that was mentally fragile.
Starting point is 00:48:22 But there's still more to it than that. Yeah, when I, go ahead. Or like a Tucker and Dale versus Evil situation. When I was talking about this movie, when I was talking about this movie to my wife, I told her when I was going in, I thought it was maybe a group of friends, like, decided to scare somebody, like one of their own friends and, like, she died or something. It's a weird title. Yeah. Very weird title. I kind of thought about that, too, a little bit, Brian, that that may be what happened.
Starting point is 00:48:54 Yeah, because I don't think only, what, one or two people died in this movie, maybe? Because I know that the friend died for sure, the one that was on the little tractor thing. Yeah, right. You know what? Now, now I think about it, I think that's one of the things that made me really like this movie, because they just came out of left field. It surprised me. It was not at all what I was expecting.
Starting point is 00:49:18 Yeah. Yeah, it was different. It was very different. It was super fucking weird. Mm-hmm. All right, cool. So we all suggest, I think, that. everybody at least check it out.
Starting point is 00:49:32 Now we're going to move on to Willard. Director of Willard was Daniel Mann. Daniel Mann was known for Our Man Flint and Journey Into Darkness. And it was written by Gilbert Raulston, also known for the Star Trek episode Who Morns for Adonais? The scenes with the rats
Starting point is 00:49:50 took upwards of 30 takes to get right. Oh, wow. Wow. It makes sense. According to Ernest Borg-9 autobiography, they offered him a choice of either a higher salary or a percentage of the box office. Borgine chose the salary, and
Starting point is 00:50:08 that's probably not good because the next piece of trivia is the surprise box office success of this film would inspire a slew of animal-themed horror films in the early 70s. So, rest of the show is pretty much going to be the Brian and Phillips show, guys, because I didn't see either one of these two, so
Starting point is 00:50:25 have it. Nope. Didn't have time, man. You've never seen Willis? I saw the new one. I saw the remake with Crispin Glover. Yeah. No, I've never seen this original one. I wanted to. And I, you know, I've seen the remake and I had never seen this one. I figured it was just something that you had watched at some point. But it was, it was not as scary as I thought it was going to be, you know? I'm right there with you. I've seen this a long time. ago and I remember being scared of it, but re-watching it, uh, not scared as I was when I was younger, so. Or like at all.
Starting point is 00:51:12 Yeah. Yeah. Oh. It was, uh, is it lame or what? No, it just, it just wasn't scary. Like it, it didn't, it didn't, it doesn't really go into that category of movie. It's, uh, it's, it's, it's more like a mainstream type of movie. I can understand why it had box office success.
Starting point is 00:51:33 And it's really not much like the, like the Crispin Glover one. Really? Yeah, it's, I, you know, for the most part, I enjoyed the story because you kind of, you kind of feel for Willard, you know, because nothing seems to go right in his life. You know, he doesn't really stand up for himself, clearly with his boss, who is apparently somehow stolen the business away from the family. which I never really got into, they never really explained how that happened.
Starting point is 00:52:06 Yeah, he was just generic asshole. No, he was just generic asshole boss. He was, you know, the bad guy. Yeah, he was definitely, because there was a scene in this movie. You can tell this was in the 70s. It was after the party scene where, you know, all the rats got let loose. and one of the employees is, you know, making fun of telling the story about the boss,
Starting point is 00:52:32 how he was freaking out. And then he walks in and says, at least I wasn't the one on the chair screaming like a fag. And I immediately was like, whoa, you can't get away with that these days in a movie. I know it. Yeah. But it tells something about the time because it wasn't, you know, never mind.
Starting point is 00:52:54 I'm not going to get into that. Yeah. That's a rabbit hole I'm never going to climb out of. Yeah. But I enjoy it because, you know, and then you got Willard with his mom who at first, you know, kind of comes off like overbearing, you know, constantly, you know, asking him, did you do this? Did you take care of that? You know, just kind of constantly nagging him. But then you could tell that he really loves his mom and, you know, he wants to take care of his mom.
Starting point is 00:53:26 mom and I like that whole that whole aspect of the story especially when he finds out that his mom is passed and he just can't believe that somebody else basically took care of it you know why did you know he was going on about why did you why did you touch my mom where's my mom you know yeah he's definitely got some norman bait stuff happening man he flies off the deep end about his mom um you know I mean she's sick and dying so uh it's it it makes sense that he's a little protective over her. And he's this super meek little... He looks like he's maybe 16, 17 in this movie.
Starting point is 00:54:09 Yeah, I would say. Yeah. And it's... He kind of just is a loner and gets sort of picked on by everybody. It's the same movie plot that's been around. forever. Yeah, it doesn't seem to associate with anybody except for maybe friends of his mom. Right.
Starting point is 00:54:35 And then, uh, well, until the, the chick finally comes to start working for him. But at that point, he's already, he's already like, look little rats that I found outside. You're really my only friends. And I'm going to be really buddy, buddy with you guys and ignore humans altogether. but I tell you what, when that scene where they, they caught his little white mouse. Socrates. Socrates. Yeah, that was his little buddy.
Starting point is 00:55:12 That was like his pet mouse that he took everywhere with him. Did they kill Socrates for real? Because it kind of looked like he was beating the shit out of him with that stick. I know, right? Yeah, that was a pretty brutal, kind of brutal scene, man. And when he was in the closet there, and they beat up on Socrates, it was kind of rough to watch. Like, I felt really bad. It was.
Starting point is 00:55:39 You say kind of like a cannibal Holocaust scene, huh? Absolutely, because it really, because of Socrates, you know, it's a white rat. And he's getting beat with a stick. It really does look like the stick's hitting him, and he's got blood. and I'm just like, are they just beating this rat to death on screen? I'm like, this is kind of... You know what? I mean, I know it's a rat, but it was kind of brutal.
Starting point is 00:56:05 I'm getting a little worried here, guys, between night of a thousand cats last week, and now this, we may have the SPCA all over us here. Well, you know, it was the 70s, so I guess, I don't know, maybe they just some... Maybe it was just good camera angles, I don't know, CGI right?
Starting point is 00:56:28 Yeah. But, you know, you get, you get, also you get introduced to Ben, which is another movie I've seen before Ben. It doesn't quite take kindly to seeing Socrates get killed. And that's where you get led into the next scene when basically Willard kills. boss by saying tear him up and you see all these rats just jump on him until he like doesn't he fall out the window yeah I guess he does that that point was kind of cool when he said when he said tear him up I was like all right at least Willard's finally got some nuts oh yeah you guys aren't selling me on this too much yeah I mean it's not I don't know I
Starting point is 00:57:25 I haven't not seen this movie in a long time, and I remember it quite different. Maybe, you know, when I was a kid, I watched it, and, you know, you see these rats. You know, like the scene I was just talking about when someone has control these rats and all he has to say is tear him up. And then you see hundreds of rats just jump on somebody. You know, that's terrifying. But watching it now, it's not as terrifying. No, it's more like you, the whole, like, relationship with the rats is not necessarily. necessarily scary. It's more endearing.
Starting point is 00:57:59 You know, like, like, those are, those are his little buddies. Those are his pets. And, and, and you feel for the rats in the movie. Which I never quite understood why he turned on them. Yeah, I didn't really either. That would, that part kind of confused me. It was, I had to go, I actually had to rewind it and go back and look at it again. I was, because, like, he was, uh, his, his little, his other little rat buddy. What was his name? The one with the, like, the little, like the little, like the, the white cross on his chest?
Starting point is 00:58:29 Are we talking about Ben? Ben, yeah. Ben, yeah. When his little buddy Ben came in and he was like, oh, well, okay, obviously Ben controlling the rats all along. But I was like, wait a minute, did he just drown all the fucking rats? What the hell? Why would he do that? Yeah, I was very confused in that.
Starting point is 00:58:52 But I did like the scene where he tried to poison the other ones. and Ben had like sniffed the box of poison and kind of like had that rat squeal and basically calling out to the other rats don't eat the food. Right. Yeah. Yeah. But like I said, I was totally confused why he turned on him because it was not too soon after they had killed the boss. Right. I mean, I guess he was just trying to get rid of the evidence.
Starting point is 00:59:18 Maybe he felt bad or something. I don't know. But it didn't really, it went from like one extreme to the other real fast. didn't fit in with his character, huh? No. Yeah, not really so much. Except that I think maybe he just felt bad about killing his boss with the rats, and he was probably just trying to get rid of the evidence.
Starting point is 00:59:37 Although, yeah, I mean, I don't see that. As much as he felt for these rats, I feel like it's probably not something that he would have done. Although he was getting annoyed by how fucking many of them there were in his basement. Yeah, they seem to just be gathering quite fast. So moral to the story, if you want a pet rat, have a pet rat. Don't let the whole fucking community of rats into your basement. Yep. And don't turn on them because, like you said, that was quite a, and that was probably the most disturbing scene for me is the end. when they attacked Willard that that sounded
Starting point is 01:00:25 them chewing him oh yeah it was kind of unnerving so that was probably that was probably the scene right there that was just kind of like because it was just a sound for me was creepy because it just sounded
Starting point is 01:00:41 like they were actually chewing on the actor and it's just all these rats covering him yeah it's it didn't really it's not really like the remake, you know. It's not like the one with Christian, Crispin Glover, I don't think.
Starting point is 01:01:00 Yeah, that one was a little bit more... I can't really remember it. If I, from what I remember, it was a little bit more creepier. Right. But, well, Crispin Glover is kind of creepy himself, so... Yeah, he's kind of creepy, dude. But the drawback to that movie,
Starting point is 01:01:14 it was a lot of CGI rats in there. Yeah, that's true. So, Are you ready for a score? Or did you have anything more? No, let's go ahead. I mean, I actually kind of enjoyed it, though. I mean, it kept me entertained the whole time.
Starting point is 01:01:30 Yeah, I did too. I'm going to say, I'll give it a, I'm going to give it a seven. I think it's worth watching. It's kind of a classic, maybe. Question mark. Yeah. Yeah. I believe it just got a blue-ray release from a scream factory or shout factory, one of the two.
Starting point is 01:01:58 I think I'm almost there with you. I'm going to give it a six and a half. Like I said, not as scary as I remember it to be, but I like the overall story of Willard. And, you know, like you said, he's just a meek little guy that just kind of gets pushed around. And then he has his moments where he kind of fights back with these rats. but there's a couple turns in the story where I just was a little confused. So I'm going to give it a. He's very, very, very Freddie Highmore and Bates Moza.
Starting point is 01:02:28 Oh, wow. Okay. Now I get it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That you're right on the money right there. All right.
Starting point is 01:02:35 Sounds like you guys are recommending I check it out. What was your score, Brian? Six and a half. So it's seven and a six and a half? Yeah. Yep. Cool. All right.
Starting point is 01:02:46 Yeah, I'm definitely going to check it out. I just kind of, like I said, ran out of time. Just a lot going on this week. We got a big crowd of family coming out this weekend, just in time for the hurricane rain. Yeah, we planned on. Interesting, but it is what it is. We can't cancel now.
Starting point is 01:03:05 Wait. We have a plan for the McGregor-Mayweather fight in case the rain blocks out the satellite dish, yeah? Oh, good question. I'm bringing the laptop. I'm pretty sure you can get Direc TV on the internet, and we'll hook that shit of TV. All right, cool. We'll have a backup plan, right?
Starting point is 01:03:24 Go McGregor. Nice. Okay, cool. Probably not, but I'm going to say it. All right. That's going to be tough, man. That's not his sport. No, I know.
Starting point is 01:03:35 But, yeah, we'll see. We'll see. Anything's possible. I put my two cents in there. I do think McGregor has a chance. Yeah? I hope. Yes.
Starting point is 01:03:46 Only if, only, this is the sports return right here, only if Mayweather says what he's going to do, I think, will lead to his demise. Because Mayweather said he is going to push it more than he did in the Pacquiao fight. Because he feels like he owes it to the Fed. I'm just saying, if he was stupid enough to do that. Right. McGregor is a counterpuncher and has a lot of power that, a lot of power that, a lot of, lot of these fights that
Starting point is 01:04:16 Mayweather's been in. He hasn't seen that kind of power before. Mm-hmm. Yeah. And they've, they're doing eight-ounce gloves in this fight. Oh.
Starting point is 01:04:27 Smaller gloves. So. Okay. But I don't believe Mayweather's going to push it like that. He's going to do a lot of defense, a lot of moving. So I don't hope it'll go that way because that'll lead to another
Starting point is 01:04:40 boring fight like the Pacquiao one. But, you know, That's just my two cents on the sports returns here. He's got to do something. That's why boxing is dying, I think. And if Mayweather decided to fight an MMA fight against Connor McGregor, it wouldn't be a question about. No, that would be, that would be a cert now.
Starting point is 01:05:03 Yeah. He could sit on top of him the whole match and just like smile at the crowd and shit. And I am not a Mayweather fan. I do recognize he is one of the greatest to ever do it. But I am not a fan of his at all. Very few people are. But, you know, I separate the man from the actual talent. So, because I got a lot of shit from the John Jones thing.
Starting point is 01:05:32 Because I told everybody he was going to be champ. And then the guy turned around and failed another drug test. I know. Fuck. Oh, I was so mad about that. That's such a waste of talent. John Jones is awesome. So I give in to Art from Cali and Denny Louie.
Starting point is 01:05:49 They told me, wait for the drug test. And I was like, no, he's got this and failed his drug test. How could he possibly be stupid enough to fail another one? Well, they're trying to know. Just say no, kids. You go. All right, back to the show. All right, you boys ready for some vampiros lesbos?
Starting point is 01:06:11 Yep. All right. Well, I can't wait to hear about this. Trivia, as always, we'll start out with that. The director was Jesus Franco, also known for vampire killer Barbies, and revenge of the alligator ladies. Whoa. Ryder was Jaime Chavari, allegedly, as we're about to learn in trivia,
Starting point is 01:06:35 also known for the things of love and to an unknown god. He was probably tripping on acid, too. Um, and the only piece, he had a lot of drugs. I'm pretty sure that X-Tecy was one of them. The only piece of trivia is that Jaime was credited as, uh, the writer, but he claims he had no participation in the writing of the film script. So, uh, he just doesn't remember it. Well, what? Oh, man, I can't wait to hear about this. Who's, who's going to go first?
Starting point is 01:07:06 Um. Okay. I'll go a little bit. I did not finish the movie. You didn't miss a lot. Now that I'm hearing myself say that, that sounded bad because it's kind of a softcore porn. But I was, well, if I didn't finish the movie, then I got the job done, right? Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:07:37 but uh no i i was i was kind of exhausted watching this late at night and uh and and i only made it about halfway through man it was it was kind of awful sorry yeah um what i wanted to hear that's that's it's it's subtitled um at least the version i was watching was uh there was you know, some 70s blush. So that was kind of cool, I guess. Right. Some boobs.
Starting point is 01:08:17 And some lesbian vampires. And that about summed up the movie. I don't see the problem. Yeah. Well, no, I mean, it wasn't the worst thing in the world. It was just kind of boring. Oh, no. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:08:35 Let me jump in here. After watching this movie, I thought about our year-end show that we do. Right. I'm adding a new category because we don't give love to the older movies review. Okay. True. This wouldn't fall under that. This would fall under probably the worst older movie we reviewed.
Starting point is 01:08:59 This movie was so boring. It took me three days, three attempts. to watch this movie. Okay, I don't feel bad about falling asleep now. It made absolutely no sense. No, it didn't. If it was softcore porn, it would have been better. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:21 But the actual lesbian scenes were weird and awkward and a lot of just one chick just laying there with a weird expression on her face, not moving. Oh, no. It had weird music because they had. this music that kept playing, almost like it was a science fiction movie. Okay. Like somewhere, round, ram, round, you know, it was, it was really. Yeah, I did. Because there was one scene where she, like, one of the chicks, like, pulled the curtain back,
Starting point is 01:09:53 and the music would go round, round, round. And I'm like, oh, is it alien or something? And then there would just be, like, a little drop of blood, like, going down to, I'm like, what is going on? That was great. And this is probably the shortest review ever, because. I totally didn't give a fuck about this movie. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:10:11 I talked to Lars on Facebook. He owns this movie. He said he's never open it. Do not open it. Leave it sealed. Well, you know, hey, some people are in the 70s thing, man. If that's what you like, then
Starting point is 01:10:31 no, no, don't even do that because that's not really what this movie's about. I don't know what this means about. I mean, Revenge of the Alligator Ladies sounds way more appealing than this movie. This was a complete miss. Like, like I said, it took me a long time to even finish this movie. They may live in the avocado jungle of death. We should have reviewed that one instead.
Starting point is 01:10:57 We should have reviewed that one instead. It was, it was kind of great watching. I only saw half of that one, too, but it was because my stream failed. but that was that was fun to watch this was not so much fun to watch Lance you're not missing anything subtitled core porn that's that's kind of bad to begin with
Starting point is 01:11:22 oh man I'm so disappointed I really thought this was going to be a classic right with the name of it how can you go wrong it should have just been a porn because there's scenes where there's like I'm assuming one of the chicks
Starting point is 01:11:38 was under the vampire spell or something and she's just like, they think she's crazy. And she has these moments where she's just flailing around moaning, like she's, you know, in a porn. And I have no idea what's going on. And it's...
Starting point is 01:11:53 That first scene in the movie, is that a mannequin or is it a chick? Oh, the weird performance play, I don't know what was going. It was like, at a club, and there's this chick just kind of dancing around, you know, as you would think, you know, 70s, hippie style. Sure.
Starting point is 01:12:13 And then there's another chick who's just standing there like she's a mannequin. Like, I thought it was a mannequin at first. And then until... She starts to move her arms like a robot or something? Well, yeah. Like, when she was, when she was just standing there, it looked like a mannequin. And then at one point, she was like kind of bent over. And I was like, that's not.
Starting point is 01:12:36 a mannequin, that's a chick. And then she was on the ground and like her, somebody, like the other chick grabbed her boob. And I was like, that's a real big. That is, that is panicking. I got it. And you know, and you know what about the scene like made me laugh? Because the main chick is sitting with, I don't know, her boyfriend, her friend. And Lance, if you pay attention to the guy, he keeps looking around like he has no idea himself what's going on in this movie. He kind of like looks at her and it looks at like, what is going on?
Starting point is 01:13:10 And then they have this, they have this performance. They have this performance scene like later on in the movie, like the same thing again. Okay. And I'm like, what is going on? Was it just kind of like artsy, like an art house type movie or, I mean, is that? Yeah, it's like it's like a club or something and this chick is just dancing while this other chick is pretending to be a mannequin or something. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:13:33 And they're naked. Okay. Let me guess. Not nearly as good as Santo then, huh? You know what? If he would have came in here and just body slammed or power mom these vampires, it would have saved this movie. It would have saved the movie, huh?
Starting point is 01:13:49 Yes. And he could have jumped in his Aston Martin with his suit and just drove off at the end. Okay, so Let's Scare Jessica to Death was very probably acid and weed fueled. And this one was maybe a little ecstasy fueled, but it was like, it was definitely artsy. And, but it was, it was the kind of artsy, I think, where they were like, oh, we're artsy. And so we're going to let you know. Oh, no, you're kidding. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:28 Yeah. Yeah. Oh, boy. That was kind of the, full of itself a little bit, huh? Yeah. They were artsy to be artsy. They were different to be different. Hmm.
Starting point is 01:14:42 I'm at risk over. On that note. All right, boys. Take it away. Can't wait till it is. Philip, I think you went first. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:14:51 I guess that was me first. Well, I mean, I didn't finish it. I mean, there's boobs. One, two, boobs. That's got to be worth something. A two, right?
Starting point is 01:15:04 All right. Two boobs? I can't do two. I can't do it. Oh, wow. Oh, no. I'd be lowest forever. No, I think, Lance, didn't you give something a half?
Starting point is 01:15:25 I don't think so. That's pretty bad. You might, no, you might have gave something one and a half. Oh, man. No, this is a one. I can't, I can't do it. I can't do two. Ouch.
Starting point is 01:15:38 I will never watch this movie ever again. Oh, boy. Wow. Okay. I was going to try to watch it when I got home. I just didn't get home in time. And I'm kind of not mad at that. Okay.
Starting point is 01:15:53 Well, man. Well, Philip, there is, there is a, there is one thing I'd like to announce something that, I don't think I had this information in time for you to cover it for feedback. But you will probably be interested to hear where we are on our quest to get 1,000 Facebook likes by the end of the year. Oh, I know we're close. I was looking at earlier today, actually. We are sitting at 975 right now. 25 more to go.
Starting point is 01:16:27 Yeah, look at out. Because we were at like 964 this morning. Yeah. Yeah. We're doing something right. Somebody's listening. And just to add, we are not a lot, but slightly up on our Twitter followers and Instagram too. Cool.
Starting point is 01:16:45 Nice. Look at that. Social media presence. You guys, follow us, like us, let us know what's up. We'll do whatever you want us to. We're dancing clowns. We got all kinds of T-shirts and digital. download codes to give away. So you guys have until, you know, sometime before the 23rd of September.
Starting point is 01:17:10 So got about three or four weeks. So the sooner the better, get those in. And if you do leave an iTunes review, I know a lot of the time you have to use kind of a weird nickname or something. So just let us know who you are. Maybe drop us an email and say, hey, I'm the one that left it as, you know, Bo Lesbos, Vampiros, 1969 or whatever. And... No lying. We'll know who you are. I'll sniff you out. Oh, sniff out the lesbos, huh?
Starting point is 01:17:41 That might not be too bad. There are many different directions I can go with that, and I'm not going to do it. All right. Well, how about if we just say, as always, we want to thank you guys for listening to another episode of The Horror Returns. As Phillips said, we'd love to hear your feedback and ideas.

Starting point is 01:18:26 I remember a Facebook group. Um, got to feel like an asshole now. Oh, well. We'll remember later. Was it Lars? Sorry, dude. No, it was like a random-ass listener. It was like, hey, do you guys have a Facebook group?
Starting point is 01:18:42 And we were like, no, we don't. Oh, you know what? I think it was Darren. You know what, it might have been. Pretty sure it was. And he's got a T-shirt coming because he gave us a review. So he's on that list. Awesome.
Starting point is 01:18:58 Next week, it is time for the much-anticipated Netflix film Death Note, and we also review the entire anime series it is based on. So, till the horror returns again, Brian. Good night.
