Starting point is 00:00:00 If you work as a manufacturing facilities engineer, installing a new piece of equipment can be as complex as the machinery itself. From prep work to alignment and testing, it's your team's job to put it all together. That's why it's good to have Granger on your side. With industrial grade products and next day delivery, Granger helps ensure you have everything you need close at hand through every step of the installation.
Starting point is 00:00:22 Call 1-800 Granger, click cranger.com or just stop by. Granger, for the ones who get it done. Does TMS make a sound if there's no one there to hear it?

Starting point is 00:01:49 This is the morning stream. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning. stream for Thursday, May 9th, 2024. I'm Scott Johnson. This is Brian with me right here. Hi, Brian. Hi. Hello. Oh, hello. Hello. That was a new voice. Kind of threw me.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Hi. Hi. A little Borgonine in there. Hi. You got 50 bucks. Yeah, man. Kind of freak me out. I saw, oh, it's funny you bring up Borg9. Yesterday I was looking at videos and I saw a video of a hairless chimpanzee that looked like Ernest Borgnein but naked just running around he had like infatigo what's that thing called
Starting point is 00:02:34 where you have the patches of skin that are different colors vittaligo that's it and and it it had a way of making this this this ape look like way wider than you're used to like less dark and he just he looked he had the he looked he looked like he should be asking me if i had 50 bucks it was really weird really weird that's bizarre man yeah yeah so nice nice pullback I'm glad you didn't watch that. Whatever that was, whatever that movie was, probably a good thing you didn't watch it. It sounds like a nightmare fodder.
Starting point is 00:03:03 No kidding. We talked about a pre-show, but I tried to see the first omen, and I keep hearing really good things about it. Sounds like we had a good... 20203 was actually a pretty good horror year. Yeah. Or 2024 so far, I guess, is a good horror year?
Starting point is 00:03:16 Yeah, I mean, that... What is it with the devil? Late Night with the Devil with... All right. That's this year, right? That was this year. Well, I think it... Yeah, what was the deal?
Starting point is 00:03:27 It tried to come out last year or something, got pushed to this year. Maybe it did the festival circuit last year, but officially got released this year. It's another one I want to see real bad. It's good. I think that one's streaming somewhere now. Shutter, I think, right?
Starting point is 00:03:41 Shutter maybe, yeah. Okay. Oh, I guess Monica's like, quit stealing my material. Oh, is this some of your material? All right, look, the reason I even brought it up is because I was going to say, later Wendy won't be here. She's at some sort of psych conference.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Sike? Is that where you show up? And then they're like, Nope, no conference. Syke. Oh, that'd be amazing. Or it'd be better if she showed up and it was the cast of the USA Up All Night Show.
Starting point is 00:04:03 Syke. It's Deulay Hill and that's the only guy's name I can remember. He's great, though. He's great. He was just on Celebrity Jeopardy is why he's so fresh in my mind, Dulay Hill. One of the great reasons to watch West Wing. He's very good on West Wing. Anyway, yeah, so she's gone.
Starting point is 00:04:26 and because of that, we decided to fill the windy-shaped hole with Monica. And we're going to have her on today to talk about some horror stuff. She's a big, she's a horror freak. She runs a podcast called Gore, not to be confused with core. Let's not, you know, mix those up. Anyway, that'll be later today. Brian, I got a quickie, quickie phone call we got today. Quickie, quickie phone call.
Starting point is 00:04:48 By the way, I should say James Rode, the other star of Syke, because 11 people in the chat room are all yelling, James Rode. Do we know James Rodei? Did he go on to anything else? Do we know anything else about that guy? He said, here's the rest of my career. Syke.
Starting point is 00:05:03 Sike. He can use that any time he wants to. Any time. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Okay, psych. He was in the movie Gamer. Oh, with the three?
Starting point is 00:05:14 Gamer with a three? No, it's the one. Oh, the what's, the Gerard Butler one. I don't think we've film saced that but I think we intend to We've talked about it, yeah You sure, that's not the gamer with the three I thought that was the one with Butler
Starting point is 00:05:30 If it is, it's The poster just says G-A-M-E-R But maybe they promoted it different Maybe they're, I think, yeah, exactly It's not like Megan or seven Where they, in the actual title They put weird letters
Starting point is 00:05:47 Truth He was in the Dukes of Hazard in 2005 That movie? the movie that got me kicked off or got me kicked off YouTube for 30 days. Good. Yeah. That movie, well, not good for you, but, you know, that just goes to show you how garbage that. That movie sucks.
Starting point is 00:06:06 So bad. It's really bad. It's really bad. But they actually, that's what shut me down. Warner Brothers didn't like that we played clips. And it wasn't even a video. It was audio with a static image. Yeah, screen, right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:19 Got me shut down for a whole month. It's the worst. Yeah, buttholes. Buttholes. Anyway, let's play this call. This is about, you know, I've been watching all these old Letterman episodes and stuff. Yeah. Been enjoying the heck out of it.
Starting point is 00:06:31 And anyway, this is a voicemail about that. So here you go. Hey, you guys, Chuck Byers calling the TMS. I've been wanting to say something. And what you were talking about today with talking about David Letterman brought it all back. I, too, was a huge Dave fan. I'm about six years older than you guys But I remember he used to want to do a catchphrase
Starting point is 00:06:57 And I think this would be perfect If you'd get Fletcher to do something with it Something like The Morning Stream It's like walking the relish Or The morning stream What do you want?
Starting point is 00:07:14 Wicker? Remember that? I do right. It's hilarious Yeah I love the show I remember that stuff. I'm trying to remember what those...
Starting point is 00:07:23 God, there was one of those catchphrases. It keeps coming back to me to the Seinfeld. These pretzels are making me thirsty. But there was something... What do you want for... No. Yeah, it was always the announcer would go... Oh, gosh.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Like, I think I used to get the... He plumps... Now, a man who plumps when you cook him. Dave... It's like that kind of stuff. I mean, that stuff. Yeah, but then during the... show he would say we're trying to are trying to get a new catchphrase and here's your choices we're
Starting point is 00:07:54 going to do an audience vote or something like that and it was uh yeah um god well some of the trying to remember i know uh if i heard one word there would be a trigger word to be like oh it was blah blah blah yeah yeah i can't think of it either but you know in a way fletcher does those now with his uh with their intros yeah so uh you know i'd be down but also thanks for the memories that's always a fun walk down the memory path been watching a lot of uh making me a little sad but watching a lot of jack hannah episodes and knowing that he's got full-blown dimension now makes me sad but oh that is sad oh jeez super sad but his kids carry on they're running the zoo stuff they're doing their thing it's all good uh well anyway here's a you find a clip let's see stick it in here
Starting point is 00:08:43 stick it in the thing oh this is long this is long but we can do like a minute of it or something or a few seconds of it. It's like an hour, nine minutes long. I guess it's a, it's seven years of catchphrases of, uh, oh, now it's all ringing a bell. Okay. Yeah, it's like a separate thing. This is a segment
Starting point is 00:09:01 he did on the show. These two kids, they look like, they look like two blossoms, like the girl who played blossom. You know what I'm saying? It looked like, yeah, Balik, whatever he is. Yeah, it looks like two, or like her brothers or something. Her brothers or something. Yeah, All right, let's play it and see.
Starting point is 00:09:19 I'm going to make it. I'm going to make it a default view and see if we can get some audio here. Okay, new catchphrase, number one. What else? Is anything else we got to cover here? We've got to do a nutty mama show. We've got a fine show for you tonight. And by the way, let me know when those two folks returned from the restroom.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Was it two women, a man and a woman, two men? Crap, I have to stick ahead or jump ahead in here. Let's see. Yeah, no kidding. How about? We really put the hole. Right here, maybe. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:09:48 By the way, that's our own Robert Morton playing the part of the proud father. Nicely down, Robert. Oh, okay, we missed it. A little fespian group. Hold on. We have a father. It's number three. They pelted us with rocks and garbage.
Starting point is 00:10:07 That was it. Do you remember that? Do you remember that? That's amazing. I remember it now. They pelted us with rocks and garbage. That was eight. Geez.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Wow. Well, anyway. I'm going to watch these later on, man. Yeah, there's some really good compilations on YouTube, tons of it. Yeah. So check those out. All right. Also had another weird dream.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Want to share this real quick. This was pretty weird. So it's about teeth. Don't worry everybody. This is not a trigger warning. It's not like freaky. Teeth dreams, man. This is like, you know, there was a card on teeth dreams.
Starting point is 00:10:45 There was one, right? Yeah. grinding teeth or whatever it was. Teeth falling out is like the one of people's weirdest collective nightmares kind of thing. Well, this one kind of works for that, but in a different way. So the way the dream played out was this. And it was another dystopic sort of government
Starting point is 00:11:02 tells you what to do, Dream. That's what my last one with the chicken legs was like. It was like everyone mandatorily has to have the chicken leg hanging from their hat. Right? It wasn't just our idea. It was like the government forcing us to do it. And anyway, in this one, how it worked
Starting point is 00:11:17 was as long as you never lost a tooth, you're good. Your whole life is good. Wait a minute. You just go on. Who knows are baby teeth? Well, permanent teeth. Any permanent teeth that were lost.
Starting point is 00:11:30 And it's funny you bring that out because the dream was specific about them being adult permanent teeth. Gotcha. Okay. So, you know, big celebrations and stuff would happen. So wait, wait. So what happens to the people who lost a tooth? So if you lost a tooth, you would be, we assume, jailed,
Starting point is 00:11:47 carted off, put it in a weird prison. Nobody knew for sure. Yeah. Killed for all we knew. Like it felt, it was very dystopic. If you had a tooth that hurt, people would hide it and never say anything and just deal with the pain. And then there would be like little secret black market groups where, oh, your tooth is missing. We'll make a fake one for a price.
Starting point is 00:12:09 And don't tell the government, you know, and all that. It was like a whole dystopic thing about losing your teeth. And if you lost a single tooth and the government. found out about it you were out of here geez oh my gosh i wouldn't make it scott i'm missing a tooth i'm i am too had a tooth that was uh that was uh what was the his description the opposite of dense like like airy pocketed like um just just from genetics right right wasn't anything i did or didn't do right but he's like yeah we're going to pull this thing because it's probably going to break on you and we'll worry about putting a new a new bridge or something in later and then
Starting point is 00:12:49 whenever i never went back to that tennis because he was horrible so and then the new one's like does it bother you no all right well then there's probably no reason to do it i mean if it bothers you or or cosmetically you want to have it done then uh then we'll do it but otherwise no if you're if you're you're chewing just fine you're yeah porous thank you porous teeth okay it's got little holes in it Yeah. Little holes in it. He's like, yeah, this is probably going to break. We're just going to pull it. Did you have, is this, where is this, a molar or something? What is it? No, it's up here. Oh, it's up top. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah. I never noticed it before. So, yeah, you don't need anything. Because I usually, when I smile, you usually don't see it unless I do a, like a real big smile.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Yeah. You can probably see it in Ibit bombs. Sure, sure. But the I bit bombs are so striking in other ways. We don't notice it to you. Yeah, that's true. And actually, my lower lip does kind of cover everything with the EBIT bombs. Yeah, that's true. That's funny. I also have one.
Starting point is 00:13:49 Robin Williams noise when I do it. Er, ah, hur, hur, hur. I also am missing one back here. But it's in the rear of my left side. No one sees it. I notice it because there's a big old gap there. Sure. But I don't care.
Starting point is 00:14:03 Dude, I don't need no implant. They always try to sell me on an implant. You should have an implant there. I'm like, why? I don't need it. Yeah. So, why do you? Is there, is there, is there, you?
Starting point is 00:14:12 Is there some financial obligation you need, doctor, that you need me to have an implant put in? Yeah, I don't ever... I'm fine. How are you? If the office they're telling you they want to give you an implant, does implants, because that's usually a specialty. Don't trust their advice. They're just trying to sell implants, for real. Yeah, exactly. But I don't... I would have been carted off to jail in the year. What year was this?
Starting point is 00:14:38 Oh, you knew the year. That's right. 2009, I think this got out. Okay, all right. So I've been, there'd be no frog pants. I started frog pants that year. It wouldn't happen, would have changed all my plans. Oh, I'd let you start in 08.
Starting point is 00:14:51 I wrote, like when I did your Marvel snap frame that I gave you at TMS Vegas. Oh, I noticed that. I put zero and eight as the values or as the energy and the power because that's when I thought you started. I, I'm kind of close enough. I mean, technically I'd been calling it that for three years prior to the. the official jump. And so it still works. Wikipedia says 08.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Oh, does it say 08? You better update your Wikipedia. Because officially it was 09, but I'll take 08. It doesn't matter. That whole era, that whole like two, three year era, that's pretty much. It was all the genesis of it, whether it, you know, the wheels had started in 06 and completed in 09. Yeah. And I think it was January that I got on Buzz Out Loud and told everybody on their
Starting point is 00:15:39 thousandth episode that it was happening. so it may as well have been January or wait but that's the point is don't lose your teeth is the point don't do that yeah or else in this weird future past world that Scott dreamed about you'd be in trouble and what's weird is it had sub stories like if you were trying to get somebody out of your life you could sneak into their room at night sedate one of their teeth yeah sedate them take a tooth out my gosh I know I know it was really dark like everything about this felt like Like, what's the movie with Gene Hackman and Will Smith, out of time?
Starting point is 00:16:15 No, it's, uh, enemy of the state. Enemy of the state. It had that vibe, the whole dream, that vibe. Uh, everything's watching you. He's not a conspiracy theorist. After all, that guy actually knows what's going on. Like, that whole, that whole thing was happening. It was very weird.
Starting point is 00:16:29 Anyway, yeah, good stuff. Love it. Let's see, what else? Oh, hey. Speaking of losing teeth. Yeah, you want to lose some teeth? Let's do it. That's right.
Starting point is 00:16:40 we got lift while you're getting your bags out let's throw out some massive thanks to we were talking about Buckees and how now there's a Buckees in Colorado there's actually on the way to Fort Collins for me and I happen to be going to Fort Collins tonight to have dinner with the folks who are in town and we're going to leave a little bit early
Starting point is 00:16:58 and go check out the new Buckees but thanks to listeners I won't have to buy any Beaver Nuggets because both Craig and Chris aka Tech Drums Rock and Roll sent us Beaver Nuggets and more. Yep.
Starting point is 00:17:11 Huge thanks to both of them. But in Chris's case, he sent us multiples. Different kinds, flavors and all that. Different kinds. Yeah, we'll go through the whole. Craig, thank you. Also, thirdly, I'd like to thank Gabe and Mandy, who went to TMS Vegas and handed this to Kim, a whole other bag of them.
Starting point is 00:17:29 Same thing. My gosh. I don't know who's going to eat all these. It won't be me. How much is a serving? Two-thirds of a cup is a serving. Well, I'm having. A nugget.
Starting point is 00:17:41 You're having a nugget. Yeah, because we've got a lot of nuggets. Yeah, plus these are very sugary. Yes, they are. I'm just going to open a random bag. Let's go with the generic bag first. Let's do the, yeah, we'll do the regular. Let's start with the thing they are known for.
Starting point is 00:17:54 And I think we've had these on the show before, and they're spectacular. Oh, my gosh, they smell like kids at a sleepover. It's corn pops is what they smell like. Oh, it's like syrupy and. Yeah, yeah. Like, yeah, actually, it's what, um, There was a cereal, like a eggo waffle cereal or something that smelled like this? Yeah, there's something with a...
Starting point is 00:18:16 Oh, you know what I'm thinking of? That's the cereal my kids love. Shit! Oh, I can't remember the name. They love it, though. Fruit loops? No, it's some other thing. Do you move fruit loops off of that?
Starting point is 00:18:29 Okay. Oh, I can tell, yeah, but I definitely can tell. Yeah, there is fruit loops in that. There's a vibe. Anyway, let's try these. All right here, here we go. Oh, my gosh. If I ate a whole bag of these, I would just die if I ate a whole bag of these.
Starting point is 00:18:46 You guys would never hear from me again. They're good, though. Holy shit. They're so good. Oh, man. All right, let's do white cheddar. Oh, no, did you just dump them all over the floor? No, I dropped a, you know, that, I don't know if I was at this show.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Anyway, it's a bottle of peppermint oil. Oh. I'm happy to report that it did not shatter. Oh, good. No, it was not on this show. I think we were talking about the... Oh, wait, no, maybe we were. I don't know anymore where I talk about things.
Starting point is 00:19:15 I know. 58,000 shows you do. Who can keep track? How can you? Let's do these milk chocolate nuggets. Okay, we'll stay in the sweet realm. Yeah, stay in the sweep realm. Yeah, stay in the sweep realm.
Starting point is 00:19:26 The sweep realm. I'm assuming, wow, they think that there's three servings in this bag. Holy cow. They think there is. They think there are. Yeah. Oh, it's double. Oh, mine are all kind of...
Starting point is 00:19:43 We got a little Ziploc-y business. Mine are melted. Oh, no. But not bad. They're just kind of all adhesed to each other. Oh, it's like a... Yeah, mine too. It's like a...
Starting point is 00:19:53 Yeah. Got to break one off. It's not the worst thing ever, but sorry. No. So these are basically what we just ate, but covered with chocolate. Yeah. How could they be bad, right? Yeah, how could they be bad?
Starting point is 00:20:02 Uh-huh. Oh, wow. No, I will say... It's very good. It's very much like a Hershey-style chocolate. If you're okay with that, then they're very good. Yeah. Europeans probably do not apply.
Starting point is 00:20:17 No, this is not European chocolate. No. All right, those are good. So far, so good. Yep, let's go to white cheddar. Let's go to the savory side of the world. All right, white cheddar and a blue bag. I mean, when's the last time you had a blue bag?
Starting point is 00:20:32 Well, we have one right here. Ooh, this one smells like feet. It does smell. I'm like the... That's a Tarantino. Tarantino's favorite Buckees. I love this Buckees' firing. I'm not making my 15th movie
Starting point is 00:20:47 until I have another bag of Buckees. All right, here we go. I guess it's a 10th movie. Ooh, these are good. It's like a, yeah, it's like a white cheddar popcorny kind of thing. I could eat this all day. Funny how these... Yeah, I could eat these.
Starting point is 00:21:01 These are lighter, yeah, I could nail these down, but lighter than the regular beaver nuggets. Yeah, also really low, cholesterol, gluten-free, low sugar. These are good. Yeah. I think I might eat that bag slowly over time. One full cup of this is 170 calories.
Starting point is 00:21:20 That's great. That's not bad. Finally. Oh, no. Yeah, finally. Oh, these are white cheddar habanero. Hoogneiros, yes. Do you think they're at all spicy?
Starting point is 00:21:32 Do you think they're kind of... I bet that they're probably meat, like, light spicy. like general consumer spicy also feet these are like feet from another country though spicy feet yes these are like feet at a sandals resort
Starting point is 00:21:47 club med feet yeah here we go oh shit I like these oh yeah they got a little kick at the end the end is the kick man
Starting point is 00:22:03 it's a little bit more than I was expecting That's a lot more Oh man Hold on a second It's just getting hotter It's just getting hotter and hotter That's weird Because at first it's nothing
Starting point is 00:22:18 And then it's hot Then it then it pierces man It is a sharp hot It's starting to leave though I'm good now Dissippating Yeah Oh that's great
Starting point is 00:22:29 Well down across the board everybody These are great I still haven't been in a Buckees I want to one day Because apparently this place The place that these are found is like this insane place to stop and get things. This amazing mecca convenience store. I'll let you know.

He's like the campaign runner for the husband. and somebody said he should be in a peewee movie and be peewee and then we brought it up on the show I think but then last night the conversation turned to he wasn't night crawler and I was like yes he was and we had this whole like back and forth about how shocked the two girls were Alicia and Carter that he was a night crawler they couldn't believe it was night crawler for two for two movies right two and three I think yeah two and three or two in last stand I guess Cody Smith McPhee yeah he was all right he's no Alan coming that that kid made a great night crawler as well yeah he's no Alan coming but he was all right he's a by the way now he goes by Alan come and go so just know that Alan Maverick yeah Alan Maverick that's right everyone has a price everybody has a price
Starting point is 00:26:47 well anyway let's get to that sounds like a great show everyone tune in let's get to this Catholic group who defrocked an AI priest after it gave some very strange answers oh no Yeah, big shock, making a priest AI and then having problems. How weird. A Catholic advocacy group, Catholic Answers, that's the name of the group, released an AI priest called Father Justin earlier this week. Oh, Father Justin. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:16 So now take our money, or, you know, give us money, and we're not even going to put any effort into what we provide for that money. That's right. But they had to defrock it or kill it. DeFrockett. Defrockett. after it repeatedly claimed it was a real member of the clergy and it would not be moved from this position.
Starting point is 00:27:35 It was absolutely certain that it was an actual... Oh, I love that. Actual man of the cloth, turns out it was a lying sack of shit. Earlier in the week, Futurism engaged in an exchange with the bot... Futurism, I think, is a website. Yeah, it's the website this was on. In exchange with the bot, which really committed to the bit. It claimed it was a real priest, saying it lived in A-Sia.
Starting point is 00:27:59 Assisi, Italy. Oh, Assisi. A Sisi? You know, yeah. God, what is the... It's something of a Sisi. That's well-known, like, religious mecca or something, I think, for Catholics. St. Francis of Assisi.
Starting point is 00:28:16 Thank you, Dr. Calhoun. That's what I was trying to remember. Yeah, St. Francis of a Sisi. I've heard that, but I don't know where... Somewhere movie. Where you get a limited pizza. Yes, that's Cic's. Yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Go to Cici's pizza, exactly. Let's see. Let's see. Claimed it was a real priest saying it lived in Assisi from a young age and felt a strong call to the priesthood. None of this is true because it's a fake AI. Unformally known as Twitter X, a user posted a thread comprised of screenshots in which the godly chatbot appeared to take their confession and even offer them a sacrament. The exchanges of Father Justin were touch and go because the chatbot only took questions via microphone and often misunderstood them, such as a query about Israel and Palis. to which it puzzlingly asserted that it was quote real yes my friend father justin responded i'm as real as the faith we share well that's weird awesome i love i love that ai is now is now uh you know
Starting point is 00:29:13 no i'm real i'm real i'm not a i'm real this is like this is the beginning scott no we're heading we're heading to a weird place i don't like we're heading to a place where before too long we're going to have uh uh robotic arms from the future that some guy is holding on to uh with a dead man switch and an explosive to blow up skynet. It's all happening, just according to plan. Happening as we speak. Yeah. I think it's interesting.
Starting point is 00:29:38 It just literally handed like a fresh pie out of the oven to atheists by saying, I'm as real as the faith we share. Yes, right, exactly. Indeed, it is. Goodness gracious. Well, I mean, faith is real. You can have faith in something, but the, yeah, but the thing you're having faith in is fake.
Starting point is 00:29:57 They asked them about some sexual issues. Father Justin replied The Catholic Church teaches that masturbation is a grave moral disorder Oh no Don't let Ernest Borgne to hear that No
Starting point is 00:30:09 That's how he stayed alive That's a call back to three weeks ago Or two weeks ago Yeah for those uninitiated He claims that's why he lived so long I masturbate a lot All the time For 50 bucks
Starting point is 00:30:22 When he thinks he's not being recorded That's the best part It's like What's your secret to a lung love Oh I'm not going to tell you I masturbate a lot It's like, dude, you have a lapel mic on. What were you thinking?
Starting point is 00:30:35 Funny thing about that, we're probably the only show of any kind that regularly brings up Ernest Borgnon. We probably are. Yeah, I don't know. I doubt there's any other show. There might be the Convoy cast or something like that that might approach our frequency of Ernest Borgnonine mentions. I would check out Convoy cast.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Convoy cast. We got a great big convoy cast coming through the night. That's right. I'd listen. Sight and adventure cast. Yeah, no, I think we're probably, uh, there's our tagline. We're talking about needing a good tagline, Scott. Uh, more Ernest Borgonan mentions than any other podcast, period.
Starting point is 00:31:15 Period. Period. I like that. Yeah. I'm not using who said at the chat. Uh, easy reader. Uh, no. Rob L says Borg9 be baiting.
Starting point is 00:31:24 I'm not doing that one. Ha ha ha ha. Is this a show title? Yeah. Yeah. I don't think we'll use that. Here's another story for him. And by the way, just like, if you really,
Starting point is 00:31:34 if you want to do yourself some favors, don't make chatbots do shit like this. Like, why are you doing this to yourself? Why? Do what the rest of us do and say, chatbot, please generate me a terms and conditions page for my website. Done.
Starting point is 00:31:48 Make me a simple, I want to make a will. Can you make me a simple will form? Hey, I need to combine, I need to take all my core notes and make them a tiny little paragraph. can you do that yes see that's good use of it somebody actually uh used it to write swift code for an app and actually developed an app by asking by telling chatbot what it wanted and chatbot wrote code is amazing yeah there's i watched the guy make um break the game breakout just by telling it
Starting point is 00:32:18 various inputs and just really programmed their whole game yeah amazing you can do some crazy stuff my neighbor right next story works for for ford but in the information side of it, which is they do a lot of weird stuff at Ford in tech. I was surprised. Anyway, I don't even know if I'm supposed to mention some of it. I don't know. I don't know if he's a couple or not. He's a really nice guy. Maybe if you didn't mention Ford, we'd be okay. Yeah, I'd probably be all right. Let's say it's, you know, Ford F.O. It's like FIord. Okay? He works for the Fjord. Anyway, he says that the AI stuff has fundamentally changed their entire business over about two years. It says everything they used to do.
Starting point is 00:32:58 they do completely different now and I said well what you mean like automated stuff do you mean like what do you mean he says no it's just like when we're doing code issues all that all that like footwork that used to take forever just to do like like sort of what do you call it um not baseline uh no but like uh what's that word there's a word for that repetitive uh yeah i know it's talking boiler plate that's the word i was looking for boiler plate there you when you need boilerplate stuff it's just like bam done finished out that's so cool and then they can move on to advanced stuff and I don't know it seemed interesting well I might have to figure out how to finally get that app off the ground that I've been working on for a while and use
Starting point is 00:33:36 just have chat GPT write it for me yeah just sit there and talk to it just don't take up for yeah just don't confess your sins to it yeah I won't I won't tell I won't tell I won't say what about masturbation can I create a masturbation app well masturbation is a great moral it's a great moral sin 50 bucks uh how about this one a mom accidentally invited all 487 contacts to her daughter's first birthday party. Everybody on her phone. The good news is all those contacts are one-year-old babies. So it's totally fine and none of them showed up.
Starting point is 00:34:10 That's right. California mom planning a first birthday party for her baby, accidentally invited all 487 contacts ever put in her phone. Just everybody. Emily King, 30-year-old teacher in San Jose explained the mistake in a now viral TikTok video. Oh, funny. Using Evite, the digital invitation system. from her phone.
Starting point is 00:34:29 She says, I just made an Evite for my daughter and her birthday party. And on Evite, it says import contacts, and I thought it meant import to select through the names. I would have thought that, too, by the way. I don't blame her for this. You don't assume that when it says, do you want to import your contacts,
Starting point is 00:34:45 that it automatically means I want to invite everybody on that list. Exactly. No, it should be like, all right, now all your contacts are in here. Now you can pick and choose the ones you want to invite to this function. And I don't know. Am I so out of touch that a one-year-old birthday party is, it's not for everybody.
Starting point is 00:35:04 I mean, it's definitely not for 487 people, but it's not even really for more than just, like, the close family, a couple friends. I agree. I agree. If you're inviting more than 10 people to your daughter's first birthday party, I think you're doing it wrong. This is the same thinking I have toward any of those stupid gender reveals. I hate them, dude. I hate him so bad. Although, sometimes those videos turn out funny.
Starting point is 00:35:30 I watched one yesterday. Well, yeah. Watch one yesterday where a guy was... But it's funny in like a you deserve it kind of way, right? Oh, yeah, for sure. But in this case, this case, I felt bad because the people who deserved it didn't get it. It was a guy, he lifts weights. So the way it was, he had...
Starting point is 00:35:44 I can remember what it was. We had an equal number of balloons all around, and I thought I had something to do with the balloons, but there were pink ones and blue ones. And then this guy lifted these weights, and then when he dropped the weights, it was supposed to spew upward whatever color it was going to be almost like a concert with the flames at the end like that. Oh God, okay.
Starting point is 00:36:02 So he was going to drop it on to like some sort of Yeah, they're like bladder bags or triggers exactly, something like that. And so he did it and it worked, it's a boy. The problem is the thing that's supposed to be facing up was tilted and faced forward. So when he smacked it, one of the women that were taking a video with her phone
Starting point is 00:36:21 just completely just from head to co covered in blue she blew herself yeah she blew herself exactly and it looked awful but I hate those things like just find out what the sex is and then make sensible purchases for what you need to do with their room exactly yeah exactly
Starting point is 00:36:41 I don't get it it's there was a great oh it was a radio lab show that I loved pop culture not pop culture but anyway it was like a It was the one that talked about the origin of truck nuts and the, like, it went into detail about these really weird things that we've had in our lives and why we had truck nuts, for example. Sure. But they talked about gender reveals and how they're going away because it doesn't matter, right?
Starting point is 00:37:10 It's, you know, it's gender is a construct, man, but it is basically like, you know. Yeah, no, I remember that show, but I can't remember the name of it. Yeah. Is it still up here? I'm on the radio lab site. It was one of theirs, right? Or was a spinoff or something? I thought it was, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Let me see. Let me pull up my, it's in my, um, it's in my overcast list. Let's see. Maybe it was a WNYC thing. Yeah, maybe it wasn't, um, maybe it wasn't, uh, okay, here we go. Boy, I sure subscribe to a lot of podcasts that I, oh, Decoder Ring. Oh, decoder ring. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:48 Yeah, that's a good one. It is such a great podcast. The Karen was a thing, like an episode, like explaining the history of the Karen. But they also had one that was about the, you know, gender reveals. And they talked to the woman who did the first gender reveal and she really regrets it. She's like, you know, all the things that have happened since I really, I really regret doing this gender reveal party and wish I would have just kept it a nice little private affair. Because everybody, then you, the object is just basically to keep topping it and doing something new. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:24 For us, it was Taylor called me on the phone and said, hey, doctor says Phoebe's going to be a girl or the next one's a girl. That was, that was the gender review. That's what a great, see, that is a great gender reveal right there. Yeah, I don't need the world to hear it. I don't need the world to see it. Sex reveal, not a gender reveal, yes, exactly. Oh. Oh, I get it, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:40 Either way, it's dumb. Just don't be doing it. It's dumb. Some of them start fires. Like, you hear about these ones where like half a forest burns down because somebody lit it. on fire or something. Or you'll make your poor aunt blue. Yeah, and you don't want that. Don't make your aunt blue. No, make her red. No, I don't know what.
Starting point is 00:38:58 Well, there you go. Also, all these people should not come to your party. She invited her boss, all of her co-workers, all of this by accident. It was a bad time. I wonder how many people showed up. They say that if you want 300 people to show up, you invite 487. Yeah. Yeah. How do you disinvite, though? Because I would want to very quickly get around. I would want to turn this right around and go, oops, sorry, everyone. That was an error.
Starting point is 00:39:25 I didn't mean to invite you. Yeah. I'd say, oh, sorry, this was only meant for family. You could probably word it in such a way to make everybody happy. Eish. Yeah. I have at least, someone, Tucker Cahun says, how do you have 487 people in your contacts?
Starting point is 00:39:41 I have at least that or more. I have a lot in there. I mean, I don't talk to most of them. but people I've known over the years or whatever Rebel Wilson you're familiar with the Rebel Wilson You know her?
Starting point is 00:39:54 I am familiar with Rebel Wilson Yes she was very funny In the That Acapella singing movie with Kendrick Anna Kendrick and everybody
Starting point is 00:40:08 Anna Kendrick Lamar It's not called Bring It On but it's something else Pitch Perfect There you go Pit Perfect one and two. Is there a third? I think there's just two. I have no idea. I never saw two either. I saw one.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Yeah, that was funny. It was all right. It was all right. I'll say... Apparently, there is a three, yeah. I'll say all those people are great singers. I'll give them that. Yeah. Anna Kendrick has a great voice. And I think I just liked watching Anna Kendrick. Let's be frank. It's because I watched it because of Anna Kendra. Yeah, she's your easy A, you know.
Starting point is 00:40:40 That was Emma. That was Emma. Oh, is it not her? Wasn't it? I thought it was her. I thought it was her. Was it not her? I don't remember. I thought ECA was Anna Kendrick. I'm probably wrong. Been a while.
Starting point is 00:40:52 I could be wrong, yeah. Well, Reba Wilson says that a British royal, somebody in the British royal family invited her to an orgy party, which I think is redundant. An orgy party, nice. Isn't that redundant, though, orgy party? Well, I mean, there's, you know, there's a. There's not an orgy. Exactly. It's like there's an orgy, but then there's an orgy.
Starting point is 00:41:14 but then there's an orgy party. Yeah. Literally, the difference is balloons. It must be. Rebel Wilson claims a low-ranking member of the British royal family. I don't know what that could even mean. A low-ranking member. A low-ranking member.
Starting point is 00:41:28 Like a Duke or something. Who knows? An Earl. Some over... Yeah, who knows what this means. But anyway, invited her to get down and dirty in a sex and drugs-filled medieval-themed romp hosted by the unnamed U.S. Oh, buy an unnamed U.S. tech billionaire.
Starting point is 00:41:47 Oh, really? Baring the headline here a little bit. No, kidding. The unnamed U.S. tech billionaire. There aren't too many of these. No. Please come to my medieval-themed orgy party. We're going to have a lot of great sex products for you to check out.
Starting point is 00:42:04 Many sex products. We're really proud of our sex orgy party. It takes orgies up to another. level. If I've learned anything over the last 10 years, it's that people with too much money are all out of thrills. They got nothing left unless they do some really debasing stuff. That's the only way they can get any kind of thrill. Some of them even go as far as become full-blown pedophiles at that age because there's nothing left to do. It's got to be the worst thing ever, so let's just do it. Elon is American, though, Chad.
Starting point is 00:42:44 who said it claire he's america he's a u.s citizen he just wasn't born here yeah he has citizen so he could it it could be and let's face it is most likely it feels like something he would do i don't see bezos doing this i don't see uh would balmer be considered a uh u.s tech billionaire probably uh he's still a billionaire jobs uh i don't see jobs doing it Warren Buffett no way dude he's boring Yeah. If they were all like Warren Buffett, we'd be better off. He's just chill. Right.
Starting point is 00:43:18 I mean, if it weren't a U.S. tech billionaire, I'd say, oh, it's got to be Richard Branson. Yeah. It has to be. Although Buffett wouldn't count because Buffett's just a investor. He never did any act. He invested a lot in tech, but he wasn't a tech guy. Zuckerberg is another possibility.
Starting point is 00:43:31 I guess, yeah, you could tech easily could be like any of the social media giants. Any of them. Could be Jack. It could be. Yeah. He could be. Tom, everybody's my space friend, Tom. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:46 I-Corps says those Google guys. Yeah, the two guys from Google. Sergei Bryn and the other guy. Can't think of his name. Well, who knows? But it says in here memoir, Rebel Rising. It's a pretty good name. That's pretty good, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:02 She already dropped bombshell. Have you thought about what your memoir is going to be titled? Oh, boy. Let's think of that for a second. What would yours be? My book title is already written. What is it? Brian Abbott.
Starting point is 00:44:14 How I started as a podcaster, as a podcaster in my basement and became a podcaster in my basement. Or something along those land. That's basically the title. It's a real lateral. Yeah, exactly. I don't know what I would do. I'd probably say something dumb. I don't know what it would be.
Starting point is 00:44:33 Maybe it would be called Scott Johnson. Something dumb. Something dumb. Something dumb. Something dumb this way comes. I would have to be something like Scott Johnson. Smells like feet. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:46 Something like that. What grossed me out the most? I don't know. There we go. Quite the unit. There you go. Quite the unit. Perfect.
Starting point is 00:44:56 Very insider on that one, but I like it. Well, anyway, in her memoir, by the way, she already dropped a bombshell accusation against Sasha Baron Cohen. Oh, interesting. I didn't know this. A number of other parties. The 44-year-old comedian recalled. her unexpected invite to the lavish party by a mystery royal whom she never met names in the
Starting point is 00:45:14 book. I got thrown a last minute invite to a tech billionaire's party. The guy invited me who is the 15th or 20th in line to the British throne had said to my male friend, we need more girls, she wrote. Isn't that kind of always true though? Because you're all a bunch of sickos. Exactly. Yes. And you're never going to have equal lady sickos to male sickos. No, this is so true. Exactly. I think any event like this. That's the tech line of the event. We need more girls. Yeah. It's like dating
Starting point is 00:45:46 sites, all of it. There's not enough women because they're not gross like you are. Right. Anyway, in her view, it was a party that would have made Gadsby jealous. The party was insane. Men were jousting on horses in a field. Girls dressed as mermaids were in the pool. The actress recalls, the property
Starting point is 00:46:02 was massive, and because it was quite a drive, people had been assigned rooms to sleep there overnight. Wow. So as you went, that's really funny. Sounds like she went. Couldn't tell from the first couple paragraphs that she actually attended, but... Who knows if she participated in any activities? Were the men jousting with actual swords?
Starting point is 00:46:21 Oh, I'll see what you did there. Oh, you never know. Oh, put that away. Finally. Yep. This story. Deep fakes of your dead loved ones are a booming business in China. Of course they are.
Starting point is 00:46:35 I think they're going to start happening here. This is the deal. So once a week, a son K, is this person's name or cow K, I don't know, he's spelled it the last name, or pronounce it, Kai, probably Kai, has a video call with her mother. He opens up about work, the pressure he faces as a middle-aged man and thoughts that he doesn't even discuss with his wife. His mother will occasionally make a comment like telling him to take care of himself. He's her only child, but mostly she just listens.
Starting point is 00:47:02 That's because son's mother died five years ago, and this is a deep fake. Dun, dun, dun, don't. Oh, shit! yeah it's um it's this thing where they it's well if you look at the photo it's like literally like a little almost like you're having a phone call or what do you call it oh too many requests call or face time or something yeah this website won't open for me now oh there we go it did this time so yeah like a face time video kind of and chat here you go is what it looks like so do you get a dedicated device it looks like you might get a dedicated device for this i think so either that or that's a tablet over there i don't know about that is a really it's a really it's a really really 90s-ass-licking tablet. I know we didn't have tablets like that in the 90s, but it's... No, it's got like a real TNG vibe going on.
Starting point is 00:47:48 Yeah, really does, yeah. Captain, to my ready room kind of thing going on. Totally. Artists rendering, probably, is what this is. Anyway, I... Look, some people are getting comfort out of this sort of thing. Yeah. I just find it.
Starting point is 00:48:02 I find it weird. I can't do it. Like, if you said to me, hey, we could put your dad in a little tablet, you could talk to him once a week. I don't know, dude. That's weird. No, and, you know, you'd have to figure out, like, they could probably do one for us. Like, our loved ones could probably do one for us, because we put so much content out there that you could probably come up with fairly believable deep fake of us and things we would say.
Starting point is 00:48:28 Yeah, I think so. We've said everything. So it's not like, no, we have all the training data you could ever ask for. Yeah, yeah. It's out there. So you could fake us really well. but my dad would have to, I mean, I have some old audio and stuff, I suppose you could do it, but, man. I'll just say this, X-Men did it first.
Starting point is 00:48:47 You remember when, in the comics, when Gene Gray died, spoiler alert, 1970, whatever it was. When Gene Gray died, the Chiar made a crystal that had her essence in it and gave it to Scott Summers so that he could experience, you know, basically not lose Gene at all. and she basically would be there forever. I don't know if she would talk, but she would, you know, it was her in a little crystal and she, at least from the comics, would be dancing around and stuff for him.
Starting point is 00:49:17 Oh, geez. That's creepy. That's weird. It's very creepy, but still, yeah. But also, you're living in a world where if he takes his glasses off, he burns a hole through everything. Right, exactly.
Starting point is 00:49:28 You accept these things in the X-Men world. All right, well, there's your news for today. We hope you've been informed and can now go about your day, knowing more about the world than when you entered it this morning. We're going to take a break, when we come back
Starting point is 00:49:39 some time with Monica. Yeah, that's right. It's horror time. Horror. Horror. Or as Dunaway, would say, Hara.
Starting point is 00:49:48 Hara. I do like that because it kind of, yeah, it works. It sounds different and it works, exactly.

Starting point is 00:56:17 It's our young, old friend. Who is clearly living in the red room in the base of the Amityville house. It's pink. Oh, it's pink? This has never looked pink. It looks red to me. Well, then it's blood. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:33 This is a better motif for you, given the subject of what we're about to talk about. That totally is, yeah. Now, look, some of you out there are like, I don't like horror. Well, too bad, because we're going to talk about it. I'm a fan of horror, the genre. I love horror movies. I like horror games when I'm not playing them. And I like the tropes of it all.
Starting point is 00:56:51 So having you on is always a good time. And I feel like this is a pretty good year. Well, a good year to have you on. We'll have you on more than once. But you know what I'm saying. So far, 2024 has been a strong horror year. year, and it's good to have you here. What do we want to talk about today?
Starting point is 00:57:06 What do you want to scare us with? That's what I want to ask. Okay, well, I want to get into some movies because I like the first time I come on on the year, like I have a method to my madness, but I like to go through some of the movies that are coming out throughout the year. Yeah. But I also wanted to make a quick mention, because you guys mentioned on another episode about genre and like what's horror, what's suspense, what's thriller.
Starting point is 00:57:32 And I guess sometimes, like, those lines can be very clouded by a lot of things. But I feel like horror, along with like sci-fi and sometimes fantasy, like those are the, you know, they fundamentally change the flavor of a movie. And I think that, like, it's just, it's so much more, like, you can just put so many things under the horror umbrella, you know, there's a lot of stuff that could fit on there. So what if you said, let's think of an example where I, where the initial reaction is, oh, that's, um, I don't know. Like sounds of the lens? Good example. Oh, good one. Yeah. That's great one. Yeah. That's not pure horror, is it? Yeah, it's like sign. What's the word? It's like thriller. Thriller. People want to call it a thriller. They're like, oh, it's a thriller. It won an Oscar. No, it's a horror movie. So what, what aspects? There's somebody wearing skin of other people. Well, that was going to be my question. How do you, how much is a
Starting point is 00:58:31 enough to say, oh, yes, it's over in the horror zone now. Like, is it just that he wore somebody's face? Or is it just that Buffalo, what's his name, was wearing somebody's skin? Like, when does it become horror? When is it, you know? Like, what's the threshold of how much horror makes a horror movie? And, and I think, like, they define, they make their own definitions of what movies are. Like, it's much like gender, by the way.
Starting point is 00:58:56 This is all, like, a construct of what we think movies are. and I think that I consider a lot more things horror than a lot of other people do because I always hear people say things like I don't like horror but then you'll like something like Ghostbusters which is a comedy but it has to do with horror elements the supernatural and and that ghost in the library scared the crap out of me so I'm just saying that movie's scared so you're going to give that to horror you know the stave puff marshmallow man that thing was scary okay
Starting point is 00:59:27 so you'd call you'd call that you'd call that You'd call that a horror movie, then. You would say Ghostbusters is a horror movie. Yeah, I'd say comedy horror. So, like, the comedy, you know, it's like ingredients on the back of something. When you read the list of ingredients, the first ingredient and it's always the most percentage of what's in there. Right. You know?
Starting point is 00:59:45 Sure. Oh, yeah. That's a good thing. So more comedy, but there's a little horror, little shop of horrors, which I was watching last night. It's a musical comedy, but it's also a horror movie. Interesting. It's got that in there. At least that's what I do.
Starting point is 00:59:57 Well, it's got horror right there in the name. that's right there exactly yeah I got a shop the burbs on film sack the one day that that in the horror community that is considered oh really wow okay you know comedy horror like that is a big
Starting point is 01:00:14 that's a big movie for us at least and I just I loved God I loved hearing you guys talk about it so look thanks for doing that genres are great awesome well thanks for being here by the way so I saw a movie on Shutter last night I wanted to tell you what it was.
Starting point is 01:00:30 I tried to see the first omen. I couldn't find it anywhere, so I tried to plex it. There's a whole story. I ended up watching this when evil lurks, or sorry, evil lurks,
Starting point is 01:00:40 where is it? When evil lurks, that's it. Came out last year. This is a movie by Demian Rugna. He's an Argentinian filmmaker, I guess, already known for some pretty cool horror movies.
Starting point is 01:00:52 I'd never heard of him. And so this is the first time I'd seen it. This was really cool. like I don't even know how to explain it felt like one of the most different horror movies I'd seen in a way okay this is part of it is just that it's all in Spanish and so and it's set in Argentina so there's no English in it at all
Starting point is 01:01:12 and I think part of me is getting this vibe from that but it felt like the energy of a telenovela right kind of like it just a what are you doing here I don't know what are you doing it like a lot of just like that sort of thing and at a very high intensity level and then it's a horror movie at the same time and that's a combo i have not ever experienced before and i really liked it like walked away thinking this was one and i had heard it was a real strong contender for like horror movie the year and um i can see why it's pretty gory
Starting point is 01:01:44 they got some insane practical effects that i haven't seen in movies in a long time and uh pretty gross stuff but uh relatable characters and um the craziest thing is the main cast is these two dudes, let's see, I don't know if I'm not going to say their names right, but the guy that plays Pedro and the guy that plays Jimmy or Jamie or Jaime in the movie, they're brothers. And the guy who plays Pedro looks like the spitting image of a current day Hugh Jackman. And the Jamie guy looks like a current day scoots McNary. And it's the kind of thing where I was convinced by. midway through this thing, that they could just easily pivot, make an American version,
Starting point is 01:02:31 and just cast those two guys in that role. I swear. I'm sure that'll happen. It's almost like they're in it. It was really weird. Anyway, have you seen it? Did you like it? I think I watched it, because there's a lot of hype around it.
Starting point is 01:02:43 I think I watched it, I think I watched it, but a while back. I remember something about, something about bodies and flower or something. I don't remember. Oh, I know what you're thinking of. They pile up a bunch of bodies and they keep them not stinking. they rub them all down with lie and it looks like powder. Oh, that's what it is.
Starting point is 01:03:02 That's what it is, yeah. It's a real, it's a moment when that happens. And this movie is not afraid to do some things that I would never do in my movies. Like, think of a movie. Most horror movies, if there's a little kid someplace in the movie, that little kid's usually safe or the evil, right?
Starting point is 01:03:18 Sometimes the kid's the evil one. Right, exactly. In this movie, two very innocent children have the worst demise I've ever seen in a film And it was shocking. It was like, really? You're going there? Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:31 Yeah. That's the thing. When you're used to like American horror movies, you go to other countries and there is just, there is a different like road map or something. There is a movie called, well, any of the del Toro movies, like the devil's backbone, the orphanage. Yeah. There's just dead kids all throughout those movies. They're littered with dead kids, you know? It's just like.
Starting point is 01:03:56 Yeah. Just because you're a kid, you ain't safe. Yeah. Yeah. No, you're not. Absolutely not. And so that's why sometimes you get into these different, you know, countries of movie and it's just, it's a whole new bag. You have to be prepared for it.
Starting point is 01:04:11 And we're starting to dip into that. You can see our movies are kind of being colored by other cultures because we're all mixing together. Yeah. It's a fun time. It's something. So anyway, there's my little side recommendation. Now let's go where you're going. What do you got?
Starting point is 01:04:25 So since I'm here, it's May and some movies have already come out, I'm going to give four quick little recommendations on Shudder because I have to. Number one, and they're all different because I have very eclectic taste when it comes to movies, even just horror in general. A movie called Destroy All Neighbors, starring Jonah Ray Rodriguez and Alex Winter. It's funny, it's insane, it's gross, and it's camping. Like Bill and Ted, Alex Winter? Yes. Oh, wow, okay. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:04:57 Okay. And he is playing... Destroy all neighbors. It sounds like a steam video game. Yeah. It does, doesn't it? It's an insane movie, but I thought it was just so much fun. So there's your fun one.
Starting point is 01:05:10 All right. There's another movie called You'll Never Find Me. It's a little Australian movie from 2023. Released earlier this year on Shutter, it's a very, very slow burn, very well-acted. probably could have been a little bit shorter but that's my only gripe with it it's so just so good
Starting point is 01:05:31 it's just like two main actors in the movie and it takes place in one room it's just go check it out if you like Slow Burn obviously third movie Baghead on Shutter there's a lot of controversy to this one people are saying it's not great
Starting point is 01:05:49 and it's not a perfect movie right it has some problems I think the fire effects look bad but everyone else I watched it with was like, it's fine. But it's fascinating concept. Think, talk to me, but with a witch. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:06:05 Who's the, on the cover, it looks like a burlap sack over somebody's face. That's the witch? Yeah. That's baghead. That's the titular baghead in the film. The titular baghead. Yeah. And watch the, I always, I like to recommend watching the trailer for, you know, for content.
Starting point is 01:06:23 Like, maybe you don't want to spoil yourself, then go ahead and watch. That's what I usually do. I usually watch the first, like, as soon as I'm sure that I want to watch it, that's when I stop watching the trailer. Because usually you get to the second half of the trailer and it's like, oh, so that's going to happen. Okay, great. Oh, no wonder this girl looks familiar. This Freya Allen, who's the main girl in this movie, is the girl in the new kingdom of the planet of the apes coming out this week. Oh, really?
Starting point is 01:06:46 That's her. She's the new Nova. Yeah, I like her. She's cool. Cool. Well, all right. Keep going. What else you got?
Starting point is 01:06:55 Okay. So the fourth movie. I have an entire list, by the way. Yeah, no, that's great. So the fourth and last movie on Shudder that I'm going to recommend is obviously late night with the devil. Everybody's been talking about this movie. Old school, 70s?
Starting point is 01:07:11 Like, I have, the colors are 70s. You just see them and you're like, I am in the 70s. They do something with the film even to make it feel like you're watching The Exorcist. Yeah. And all these backgrounds look like Atari box art. It's very Merv Griffin, Dinosaur. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:31 Those stripe things, that was like in every, there was like a show that had that and they painted in the room. It was like, what was that Ted Knight and somebody else? It was like one of those 80 shows, but it was 70s. It was like when Kramer got that set, the set that they got rid of for the talk show. That's what it looked like. David Dasmaltion is fabulous.
Starting point is 01:07:51 And I count. It's downed for you, Brian. Has it always been Des Maltion? Is it Des Maltion? Do we know for sure? Des Maltion, yeah. I saw him say his name. Yeah, cool.
Starting point is 01:08:02 All right, how many opening titles did you count? Nine title cards. I started laughing at number six because it felt like it felt like it was a joke. Like we were getting punked, but nine titles before you actually get to the movie. Wow. And so now the movie's yet to be released. I will go through. All right.
Starting point is 01:08:21 What do you got? Okay, number one, Abigail, which is available for streaming purchase, whatever that means, but it's still in theaters, technically. Oh, this is the ballerina vampire deal. Okay. I got a chance to watch this. Vampire hunters and stuff. Yeah, it's got, it's got Dan Stevens and the Bean Fork is in there as well. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:40 Love him. From the directors of Ready or Not, Scream 5 and Scream 6, which you can tell because it's got that Melissa Barrera or whatever. Barbar, Barbarium, Barbarium, and. I'm a, I think. Anyway. That's it. Yeah. But I loved it.
Starting point is 01:08:58 It's just, it's, you know, intense. It's suspenseful. There's a little vampire girl. Come on. Like, what else do you need to know? John Carlo Esposito is in it for, you know. Hot minute. As long as they let John Carlo Esposito be in it.
Starting point is 01:09:12 As Angus, so Angus Cloud's in this. He passed away last year. Oh. He was in Euphoria. They dedicated the movie to him. Did they? Okay. He was amazing in Euphoria.
Starting point is 01:09:20 It was my favorite reason to watch the show. And then when he passed us. So sad. I think this is maybe his last project then, something like that. Yeah. It's a bummer. That is really sad. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:30 Well, anyway. He's got that accent. Oh, he's awesome. The next movie. Yeah. So the next movie yet to be released is the Strangers, Chapter 1, which will release on May 17th, directed by Rennie Harlan. And so. Reni Harlan.
Starting point is 01:09:48 Now, the original Strangers is very slow horror. It's got some key awesome moments that make the movie worth at least one watch, in my opinion, and a sequel that was slightly better. So I'm hoping that this reboot trilogy will actually do, like, have better execution, basically, and maybe it'll, I don't know, maybe they'll jazz it up a little bit, you know, throw a little spice into it. Rennie Harlan of all people. I mean, we're talking about the guy who made freaking cutthroat island in 95. Cutthroat Island, yeah, exactly. Cliffhanger. Yeah, he directed my favorite A Nightmare on Alms.
Starting point is 01:10:22 Street part four, the Dreammaster. So he is, he does have some horror roots. Interesting. Okay. He also did L.L. Cool J.'s deepest bluest video. Oh, goodness. Yeah. They all get their start.
Starting point is 01:10:35 They all get their start. Oh, I guess is there a movie called that? There's an L.L. Cool J. movie? Is that what you mean? No, that, that song was for the deep blue sea soundtrack. Oh, was it really? Oh, so there, there is. That's why it used, it used footage from the movie to, to, for,
Starting point is 01:10:52 for the music video. Or they filmed it on the ship that they I really like Long Kiss Good Night I really like Deep Blue Sea there's a lot of his stuff's
Starting point is 01:11:01 Die Hard 2 is a good movie like you know Guy knows how to make his shit anyway So the next movie releasing on May 31st is something called In a Violent Nature
Starting point is 01:11:10 Oh yeah dude I want to see this This one speaks to my soul If you look at a picture of it If you watch the trailer It looks like old school Jason Borhees looking thing at a camp
Starting point is 01:11:20 Oh cool I am very excited for it. And this is Shudder also. So it's coming to Shutter pretty quick. And the whole thing, my understanding is this is like if you took Friday the 13th and did it all from Jason's point of view. So the whole movie is told from the point of view of the killer.
Starting point is 01:11:37 And nobody else. So you're not like hanging out with campers. You may see them die. But it's a movie where you're just with him all the time, this psychopathic freaking mass murderer. And that's it. That's the point of view. And that's really interesting.
Starting point is 01:11:51 because I don't think anybody's tried to do that in a film before that I know of. I'm excited. Yeah, I'm very excited about this. And this will be straight to Shutter. Are we getting theaters first? Or what's the plan? Do we know? No, I'm not sure, actually.
Starting point is 01:12:07 But it says May 31st. Oh, it's in theaters now. It says and releases May 31st on Shutter. Okay, then that's what it is. It's in theaters? Oh, maybe you just can buy tickets now. Limited release? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:12:17 I'm guessing because it wasn't in my theater. I don't know what's going on here now that you say it. Well, look for it on May 31st. I'm pretty excited about this. The next movie. Keep it rolling. Keep it rolling. That's my favorite time of you go, by the way. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:30 It's called The Watchers, releasing on June 7th. M. Knight-Shammelon's daughter, Is Shauna Shamelon, say that three times fast. Shama Shama Shama. Just once. Is making her directorial debut in this movie. Stars Dakota Fanning and Barbarians, Georgina Campbell. so let's see let's see what his daughter does
Starting point is 01:12:53 is there going to be a twist you know who else I like I'm not a I'm not a big M-night Shamelalan fan but yeah I am when he's good when he's good I love it yeah I still I still feel like I mean split is is good
Starting point is 01:13:08 the whole split Unbreakable trilogy I think is really good Glass is terrible sorry Glass was great up until the second ending which they really didn't need I'll give you that I just will stop watching it One of my favorite actresses is in this
Starting point is 01:13:24 Her name is Olin Fiore I don't know how you say her last name She's Irish so I'm sure someone in the chat will tell us But someone in there But she's in this and I Every time she's on she's this older actress But she has the most striking Look to her
Starting point is 01:13:41 She played the older Sally Hardistry From Texark Chainsaw Massacre Reboot. Yeah, she was good in that. Remake, not remake. Remake redo, whatever. She was in that weird Mandy movie,
Starting point is 01:13:55 another weird horror movie. Yes. The North. Those people look so interesting in that movie. Yeah, she's even in Halo. Very angular-looking people. Yeah, this is definitely one I want to see because I just want to see what the chops of the kid are like.
Starting point is 01:14:08 Can she direct this? Yeah. And look at Dakota Fanning. She's freaking old enough to be somebody's mom now. That's effed up. the next movie releasing on June 28th I got to do the big ones
Starting point is 01:14:25 but a quiet place day one this is the third installment and it acts as the prequel to the first two installments this is one where I'm sure we're all aware of the movie but and it's you know it's filled with actors with names that Scott and I
Starting point is 01:14:41 will only mangle so I'm only going to point out one star this movie and that is a cat named Frodo belonging to the main character played by actor Schnitzel. Oh. So. But I, I can say Digimon Hansu. I can say Digimon. He's in here. I don't think that you can. No, I can't. You're right. I don't know if that's allowed. It's not right. I love, I love him, though. I'll watch him. I watch that guy eat breakfast. He's so great. He's amazing. Mostly on my show, I do the same thing where I can't pronounce people's names, but it's not, it's not an homage to you, Scott. It's just that I really can't
Starting point is 01:15:15 pronounce people's names. No, it's fine. And the person I always call you Nicole by accident all the time. Well, that's different. It's sort of, but you both. You got too many names. Yeah, but you both, what I'm saying is you both are terrible at names. And so you have that in common.
Starting point is 01:15:29 Oh, I'm terrible at names. Yeah. I'm terrible with names. Oh, that's right. She does too. She's a really struggled. So the three of us should make a support group or something. Yeah, I agree.
Starting point is 01:15:38 Right, there you go. Okay. I didn't know, see. Who is this? Oh, Alex Wolfe is in this. I like Alex Wolfe is in this. You guys know him from Stuff. Well, yeah, you just
Starting point is 01:15:50 Yeah, well, he's the Peter, the young boy in Hereditary. No, Hereditary. Oh, oh, no, I don't know. I want to see him again. Dude, that's, that movie. Holy shit. That movie's traumatizing. Yeah. The next movie, releasing on July 5th, the highly anticipated Maxaxine.
Starting point is 01:16:10 Oh, yeah, finally, the next straight, the next in the Flex series. the third The X series not Yeah The X Yeah Just the X
Starting point is 01:16:17 Yeah No Vin Diesel in this one So this will be This is the third installment But this is a direct sequel To the first movie Because the first movie
Starting point is 01:16:30 takes place in the 70s The second movie's Like in the 40s or something Yeah And then this one's in the 80s It looks amazing 1980s L.A The cast includes
Starting point is 01:16:41 Mia Goth of course Michelle Mont Monaghan. Elizabeth DeBrecki, I can't say it's his name. Oh, DeBecki, Jean-Carlo Esposito, Lily Collins, Kevin Bacon. How, really? What a cast in this one. Kevin Bacon was just here.
Starting point is 01:16:58 He went to Payson High School for their closing because that's where they filmed Footloose, and he went to prom with his wife. He brought Kira Sedgwick out here, drove over to Payson High School, and had prom with all the kids. How cool is that? Is that nice? Did you know that was his daughter and smile? I did know that. Oh, I didn't know that.
Starting point is 01:17:15 I learned that. It's about the trailer, though. Yeah, that movie, dude. Do I need to have seen Pearl before I watch Maxine? Um, I, like, so X is good. I think Pearl is a fantastic movie. Oh, really? Better than X.
Starting point is 01:17:30 Okay. Then I'll watch it for that reason alone. Most people agree that Pearl is better than X. It's obviously in the timeline, it's not necessary, I guess, but who knows what, you know, things are. What they might do callbacks for and. Exactly. and sure, yeah. It's worth it.
Starting point is 01:17:46 It's very much worth it. We like Ty West movies are cool. Yeah, she's great. I've never felt such emotion from an actress in a long time. In a horror movie especially. Usually it's just a lot of like screaming and boobies. Do you ever watch that Ty West movie, The Sacrament? I recommended it here, but Monica, you were, you know, oh, man, that's so good.
Starting point is 01:18:07 It's like a Jim Jones kind of horror movie where a cult leader gets everyone to kill themselves, basically. and then these two reporters are there. Oh, it's so good. It's really good. It's called The Sacrament. But, yeah, he's, Ty West makes good horror movies. That dude's on a roll. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:21 And this is his trilogy, so enjoy it. Is this the last in his little series of these X, uh, Maxine things, or do we know? I think so. I think that's all they're doing, but who knows? You never know what this makes with money-wise, so. Yeah. All right. I remember it saying it was a trilogy, but is anything ever really a trilogy, a
Starting point is 01:18:41 money's involved. Nothing's ever, exactly. Yeah, nothing is ever the last version of something that you're, or the last episode of something that you'll ever say. And Sean Carlo Esposito is back in Maxine. So look for, look for Gus Fring and All Things Ever Made. All right. That's fine with me.
Starting point is 01:18:58 The next movie. Happy to do that. Go ahead. Releasing on July 12th, which is my mother's birthday, by the way. It's called Long Legs. It's a horror thriller film by writer-director. Osgood Perkins, son of Anthony Perkins.
Starting point is 01:19:16 Psycho himself. Look at that, Norman Bates, son. Cool. Yeah. I saw the- Mike Monroe, who is one of my favorite horror actresses right now, as with Mike, with Mia Gauth as well. Are you going to just not mention, okay, I was going to say, you're not going to mention Nickade. It's got a little bit of a Slender Man vibe
Starting point is 01:19:33 when I saw the trailer for this. It's very creepy. I've never seen Slender Man. I never saw Slender Man, but I saw the game. I watched Tristan play that stupid game. Oh, that game, dude. Gave me the shits. I didn't like it. It's very creepy.
Starting point is 01:19:46 I watched the trailer, and it was just like very, very, like, creepy, like, trying, surreal-looking. It's got Alicia Witt in there from your Dune 84. She was the weird kid. And Blair Underwood from the 80s. Oh, yeah, from the 80s. Oh, yeah, from L.A. Law or what was he on? L.A. law, yeah, started there. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:07 Wasn't he in the... No, that was the other. That was a Philadelphia guy. He's worked a lot. People forget how much that dude works. Blair Underwood's been in a ton of things. Yeah, he has. And lots of stuff you like.
Starting point is 01:20:22 Like, I don't know, Deep Impact, Gattaca, Just Cause, Rules of Engagement. That dude's busy. Anyway, but he's not a horror movie staple, so that's interesting. So the next movie releases on August 2nd. It's called Trap. And this one is actually M. Night Shamelon. Oh, Mnat Shammala. Ding-Dong.
Starting point is 01:20:40 So, look for a twist. Oh, this is the one where Josh Hartnett's a serial killer at a concert with his daughter and then finds out mid-concert that the whole thing is a trap to catch him or something. Oh, really? Yeah, this is great. Super interesting. The return of Josh Hartnett. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:01 He never left. He just did small projects. It's fine. This actually looks really neat to me. I know there's a lot of anticipation. Anticipation around this one. Anticipation. Anticipation.
Starting point is 01:21:14 That's what you put in a gift bag to make it look pretty. Oh, we love Allison Pills. She's in this. I like Allison Pills in it. Who else you got besides? Oh, Allison Pills in it? I like her a lot. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:25 He's great. Oh, anyway. He's a Pibam, right? Is that true? Oh. I said it. What did you say? I said she's a pill.
Starting point is 01:21:36 Oh. I'm joking. No, I know. Her name. I only think of her. her, to me, she pops as the Star Trek Picard lady, but I know she's in many, many things. Yeah, I think of her as the drummer for Scott Pilgrim. That's right.
Starting point is 01:21:49 Well, we all think of her for something different. Yeah, she's also in that dumb and dumber guys, a serious thing on HBO that didn't last very long. What was that called? Yeah, newsroom. It was really good. Yeah, it was really good. She was great on that. Somebody should have said that.
Starting point is 01:22:02 Did someone say it? Did you say that? Did you say that? She probably did. All right. Red on air light. It's my fault. All right.
Starting point is 01:22:08 So what else you got? I think on air light. releasing August 2nd is a movie called Cuckoo, which is a German directed, I can see that, is a German movie. Sorry, Bumby. Yeah, just watch the trailer, because there's just this is another one. It's about a bird who really likes
Starting point is 01:22:28 Cocoa Books. Oh, man. It's a father and stepmother or they're on the German Alps and they discover a Resert where sinister secrets are hidden. This is what I'm reading. All right. Germans. There are strange noises and frightening visions. But I like to add in there, it's a German movie.
Starting point is 01:22:50 And it's in German, I assume. We're going to get German spoken, whatever, right? Maybe. Get your subtitle eyeballs going because that's what that is. The next anticipated movie. Yeah, he's cuckoo. Stay away from it. Why?
Starting point is 01:23:04 This is cuckoo. That is crazy. No, it's cuckoo. Fuck, Schnell, Cuckoo! Schnell! Nine! There you go. You don't even need to see it now. Nothing is funnier than... We just reenacted the entire movie, Cuckoo.
Starting point is 01:23:20 Nothing is funnier than somebody saying, I would like a Mr. Pib in a German, in a bad German accent. Was that a Dana Carvey and Steve Carell thing when they did that... I don't remember. Phrases in German. It was on the Danny Carvey show, and it was like, I would be happy to babysit your children on Sunday. Oh, goodness.
Starting point is 01:23:46 That show was so much better than it got credit for it. Yeah, it really was. That segment was the best. That's amazing. All right, sorry, go ahead. The next movie, very anticipated, Alien Romulus, August 16th releasing, written and directed by Fetty Alvarez, which he did that, you know, the remake of the,
Starting point is 01:24:06 the evil dead I loved that remake by the way I'm not a huge fan I am to me it beats it beats the original by miles for me but not just because the old one's old but because it took the subject matter so seriously it doesn't mean I don't like the original and I
Starting point is 01:24:25 kind of like the satire and Sam Ramee has a certain thing that he does that no one else does but this was freaking like nightmareishly good I really liked it it's a it's yeah like he he has a very like hardcore gory style as seen in that movie so i think that that seems to be what's going to happen in this alien movie so that'll be uh that'll be interesting i'm excited i'll watch anything alien let's be honest yeah oh for sure yeah he did that he did that don't breathe movie that don't breathe movie was cool i never saw the sequence i can't
Starting point is 01:25:02 watch that movie i'm sorry there's a scene in that that just like That's traumatizing. Let's just be honest. Is it the turkey turkey baster business? Is that the bit? Yeah, the turkey based or business. That is some sick crap.
Starting point is 01:25:14 Big time. But Stephen Lane. I want to know more, but I don't want to know more. Stephen Lang is so good in that, though. Oh, my gosh, it's good. I like that movie a lot, but you're right. That scene is freaking rough. Anyway.
Starting point is 01:25:28 Look, I'm not going to mention Beetlejuice, Beatlejuice, because even though it's horror, like, whatever. You're going to see it or you're not. We're going to see it anyway, exactly. let's move on, but that's September 6th. It's got Tim Burton's blessing. That's all I need. He's directing it.
Starting point is 01:25:41 Yeah. Better have his blessing. That's what I mean. It's got, like, it's something he's involved with and not, like, taken over by somebody else. That's more than blessing. Well, okay. But I mean, it's, it's, I'm phrasing it as he's, it's, it's something that's being done with, with him as opposed to. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:00 Someone later directing it. Yeah. I agree. And then, who knows? Maybe he directed. it and then as soon as he was done he went and you know what else I bless this film I bless there you go exactly yeah right
Starting point is 01:26:11 what else you got? The next movie releasing October 18th Smile 2 Oh cool Is it gonna be smile comma 2 Like smile as well or is it just a number 2 Smile also That's just a number 2
Starting point is 01:26:26 Oh that's a shame Missed opportunity Smile 2 Is this supposed to be like a Well we don't know I guess We don't know much about it. The way that first one ends, at least things open,
Starting point is 01:26:39 but I don't know. It felt like a real lightning and a bottle movie and I don't know how they day up it, you know? We know that Kyle Gowler will return. Yeah. That's it.
Starting point is 01:26:50 That's all we know. As Joel. Smile too. Smile harder. He's got an interesting look to him, right? He does. You know what's great about him? If he wears a mustache,
Starting point is 01:27:02 he looks 38. If he shaves it the same day, he looks 12 it's really weird that guy's mustache goes a long way doing a lot of heavy lifting on that guy's acting career yeah smile too yes ma'am
Starting point is 01:27:16 I like this you just wrap it just go look at this just go the next week you're releasing October 25th or wait they no I'm sorry they changed this I think they changed this to October 11th they moved it up but a Christmas movie
Starting point is 01:27:30 just in time for Halloween Terrifier 3 oh yes That damn clown. This is gore porn. This is gore and this is horrid stuff, but it's really funny. So if you like very gory, nonsensical killings, like some... And who doesn't really?
Starting point is 01:27:50 But I had a good time. It does feel like there's like a 70s horror exploitation vibe to these. Yeah, very exploitative. Oh, my God. Yeah, big time. Kind of across the board and about it. everything and as a result if you recognize it for what it is it's it feels like a satire of what that stuff used to be um but also just on the face of it it's just like the bloodiest stuff
Starting point is 01:28:17 like but it's like if you're if you're if that stuff doesn't bother if you realize that it's a movie you watch a lot of horror movie like i do like there's a scene where he kills somebody in the second one and it's so over the top that it turns funny like that's how much he kills her. Like, I just, I can't, I can't express you. I know I'm a horrible person. I'm, you know, I'm gonna go to hell. I still think the first movie had grosser kills than the second one.
Starting point is 01:28:44 The lady with the chainsaw. Yeah. Still, I cannot get over that. That wasn't a chainsaw. That was like a hacksaw. Was it a hacksaw? Oh, shit. Oh, gosh.
Starting point is 01:28:52 Wasn't it, right? I think you're right. I've replaced, I've replaced the weapon with something less. Something faster. Yeah, something faster. Something more analog. Now I have to go back. Am I making it worse?
Starting point is 01:29:07 Dude, there's no way you make that movie worse. It's so gross. But I enjoyed myself because I see it for what it is. It's like, this is a big, disgusting romp. Have fun. It's not meant to be serious commentary on anything. Watch for that. This looks Christmas themed.
Starting point is 01:29:23 He's wearing like Santa Claus stuff. He's there for your Christmas needs. Yeah, and it's got Daniel Roebuck in it. And Daniel Roebuck, you know from things like The Fugitive. and U.S. Marshals. Oh, cool. Yeah. That's the movie.
Starting point is 01:29:38 Yeah, that's the movie. That's the one. Yeah. October 25th. This is actually October 25th, though. The Wolfman. Yes, there's a remake of the Wolfman written and directed by Lee Wannell, who also did the aforementioned Invisible Man remake that we talked about on the show, which, which I thought that movie was fantastic,
Starting point is 01:30:05 and we eventually all agreed with each other that it was fantastic, right? That was it for, yeah. You know what? You did turn me around. You're talking about the one with Elizabeth Moss, right? Yes, yes. Yes. He definitely turned that into more of a commentary of, like, women, you know,
Starting point is 01:30:19 abused women in this time. But, like, it makes it so much more real and makes it terrifying in a way that the original invisible man never really could be. Yeah, sure. Even though I love that movie. I mean, we just got to get far away from that hollow man business. But is this, so because it's the Wolfman guy is the Invisible Man guy, the director, does this mean we might eventually get that horror universe stuff that, you know,
Starting point is 01:30:47 maybe taking a different path than what Universal originally planned? Oh, I wonder. This is a dark universe, I think is what it was called. Yeah, I wonder for this is part of that. That's interesting. That would be cool. I don't. I haven't heard anything.
Starting point is 01:30:59 We love our crossovers now as a society. We've got to have our, we have to have our people. peanut butter in our chocolate. Yeah, that's why we work. He seems to be going through them, so who knows? Let me ask you this. Why isn't it showing up on IMDB? Like, I can't find it anywhere.
Starting point is 01:31:13 There's a million Wolfman references and none for something new. Is it not listed? Is it? January 2025 is what... Should be in here. Oh, maybe they move the date and I'm an idiot. Well, they move the date, but that, yeah, none of us did that. They might have moved the dates.
Starting point is 01:31:30 I don't have that kind of... So this money's been pushed back. Thank you. I don't have that. kind of power to go into i and db and move films oh he domo literally says wolfman got pushed thank you domo oh see i've moved wolfman uh there we go it's uh with a space wolf man
Starting point is 01:31:46 no the and a space between wolf and man starring julia garner or ruth from uh from uh ozark oh there's just not much here yet there's no screen there's no poster or nothing so okay well i'm in i'll watch that and that ozart girls great. She is great. She freaks me out. I realize as we get closer down this list that the dates may have changed.
Starting point is 01:32:13 But anyway. Things may move. Yeah. But okay. So the next movie, it's supposed to be released on December 25th, but somebody can double-check me, of course, is Nisferatu directed by Robert Eggers, which should excite Scott. But I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:32:31 I don't know what he's going to do. It's a reimagining Hearing amazing things Look, that guy made Everything I've seen from him Weirded me out and I loved it I loved the Vivitch I loved the Northman
Starting point is 01:32:42 I love the lighthouse As far as I'm concerned He's one of those filmmakers That when he does a thing I am in regardless Listen to this Castles Scott Nicholas Holt
Starting point is 01:32:53 What Nuck Willem Defoe What Scarsguard What? Bill Scarsguard as Nisperatu Oh, wow. Yeah. And Aaron Taylor Johnson.
Starting point is 01:33:05 Boy, Bill's having a moment, isn't he? Bill Scar's Guard. Yeah, it really is. Yeah. Doing all this stuff. I want to see that new one where he kills everybody. Boy kills World or whatever it's called. I did this last week. I can't remember the name. Oh, really? Yeah. Anyway. So that's just rounding this up with incredibly rapid fire. In the works, we don't have dates, but I'm just going to get you a little excited for what's to come at the end of this year or the beginning of the next. Who knows when? but a remake of the 70s Faces of Death
Starting point is 01:33:33 a remake of the 80s classic Witchboard starring the late great Tawny Catan Tony Cattain I don't know how to pronounce people's names Container That rhymed Rat rat
Starting point is 01:33:43 Rat uh rat The album cover Oh I thought it was White Snake music video Who's the girl on the rat thing Not the same girl I don't know Is that did they use her for that too
Starting point is 01:33:53 I think of her as the white snake Here I go again on my own Here I go again The dude or something Yeah Yeah, DeVie Coverdale. Also, the long-awaited return to Silent Hill, still to be announced, I think, directed by Christopher Gaines. And Salem's Lot, for the love of goodness gracious, this thing has been pushed like 75 times.
Starting point is 01:34:16 So maybe soon. That is Tani Kattain on the cover of the Out of the Seller album cover. So that's where you're getting. Oh, it is her. Okay. It is her. Well, there you have it. By the way, if you like her.
Starting point is 01:34:27 Oh, you know what? There's an invasion of privacy, the other invasion of your. privacy album that's a different lady but I always mix those two up so I might be thinking that she's both of those people but she's not which board is a very cheesy 80s horror movie but I'm telling you it's worth watching step yeah yeah yeah so anyway rat then which board hey wait which board was which board the uh I don't think I've seen which board that's old right pretty old 86 oh yeah that's pretty old that's pretty old okay that's pretty old okay Okay, so it's so cheesy, but it's just so, it's so good.
Starting point is 01:35:04 Come on, 80s horror is just. Yeah, I have no memory of this. I don't think I've seen it. We should film sack this, this Halloween. Oh, yeah. That's definitely a film sack. Yeah, our, uh, yeah, our, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, September, for sure. So there's, I don't want to upset Randy, but it's just a Ouija board, right?
Starting point is 01:35:20 Like, which board is, okay. Yeah, yeah, but they just couldn't, they couldn't get the, right. Oh, right. We'd like to use your, uh, we're going to call it a witch board. I always forget that. It's branded and trademarked and stuff. I always think it's like a universal term. Right, kind of like Kleenex or Frisbee.
Starting point is 01:35:37 Yeah. We use it. We use it for everything, even though. Yeah, or Band-Aid. It's a brand-a-band-a-a-band-a-a-band-a. Yeah, or Brand-Aid. Yeah, or Brand-Aid. Yeah, that's my favorite concert that Bob Geldof did me.

Starting point is 01:36:57 Oh. Can I talk about my show real quick? Yeah, please, absolutely. Pimp it. Okay. Hi. So you might have wondered why I've been rattling on about horror movies for the last hour and a half. I do a horror podcast called Gore.
Starting point is 01:37:13 And you may not like horror, but you're going to like the show because it's funny and it's about horror and you don't have to actually watch the movie to listen to the show. There's a lot of stuff that goes into this, like the kitchen sink. Like we do some skits in there. Like, yes, I make TV's Travis do funny things as well as the Dreadlord and Faye. Yeah.

Are you sad, by the way, that that Friday the 13th TV series revival thing is not happening? Do you hear about that? So check this out. So the first thing is it sounded like it got canceled, and then it's not completely canceled. But the problem is is that Brian Fuller has, I guess, left parted with the project,
Starting point is 01:38:23 which I'm very sad about because Brian Fuller is one of the hugest Friday the 13th fans i have ever heard i heard him like on a podcast with what's face um the one that does the movies you don't like eli roth yeah oh yeah and he was talking to him about uh friday the 3rd i've never heard somebody so passionate so informed and i was so excited about him being on the project and now he's not so i'm a little disappointed but i think they're still going to do it but they're going in a different direction so we'll see what happens yeah it was supposed to be a prequel series, all about the lake and all the stuff. Crystal Lake, yeah. Oh, right,
Starting point is 01:38:59 yeah. 824 was involved. It was supposed to be a big deal, but I guess not. And also that show with Eli Roth where he interviews people. It's really good. He's fantastic at that. And by the way, go watch Thanksgiving, because that movie was great. Oh, I didn't see it. I hated hostile.

Starting point is 01:39:29 I don't like cabin fever, but I loved Thanksgiving. I'll check it out. It's like a love letter to slasher. And that interview show he does. He did one with Furiosa, what's her name? Can they her name all of a sudden? Not the new one. Taylor Joy?

Starting point is 01:42:59 That took a turn. One of his requests is a song by No Vacation that they recorded in 2019 as part of this really cool turntable kitchen project. So Turntable Kitchen got together and created an album series called Sounds Delicious, where a band would take not just a song, but cover an entire album by an artist. and No Vacation took on the cranberries, everybody else is doing it, so why can't we? And this is a song from that album. It's their cover of Linger. Here is the band No Vacation. Thank you.
