This is a headgum podcast.
Hello, welcome to Melrode 2.0-210. Let's all put on our sunscreen and remain in
doors because this is a quarantine
side show where your
favorite fucking bad movie podcast
loses its goddamn mind every week
by watching 90s television.
I am joined with my good
friends Christopher Cabin.
Oh, hoi, hoi.
Andrew Jupin.
Yo!
And Eric Siska.
How are you're doing?
We're back all together.
Chris was away on Monday.
We actually thought it was a close call for Chris
Cabin again this week.
He's having a hell of a time out
there in Connecticut. They got me. I got to tell you. I don't know who they are, but they got me.
I was actually, I had an audio clip all set up if you weren't going to do today, which is the
chorus to Tom Waits is, everywhere I go, it rains on me. I touch her, the Travis song,
why doesn't it always rain on me? Oh, yeah, I remember that song. Totally. Wow, remember
Travis? Also, remember
Melrose Place, you guys? Because it's Thursday
and we're talking about Melrose Place. Today we're
talking about My Way
Season
one, episode, I don't know, what is it?
Seven. Oh, episode seven.
Original aired date, August 19th,
1992. Also, if you go to the
IMDB, someone's having fun with the
image graphic for this episode.
Oh, the header, the one that it defaults
to? Yes, because it's
Courtney Thorntzmith,
with her eyes closed mid-sentence like what a shitty thing to do it is fucking serious
derp face it's the funniest thing i was laughing at it kind of while watching this whole episode
the best bit of trivia on this on the page for this episode is that somebody pointed out
that this aired two days before the ruby ridge uh it didn't happen that's on the imdb i didn't see
that there was some guy who just i did i got too lot down votes chris two days before
yeah yeah so august 21st i think is when it started so the episode was so bad it set off the chain of events
this guy was on it don't worry whoever this fucking poster was
i love that uh so the only trivia i can see which is something that people were pointing out to us
on twitter earlier which i guess happened last week but we didn't really notice it because she
didn't have many lines this is a sandy centric episode and it's new sandy this sandy ain't
from the south no more everybody dude totally she's now
from just flat-sounding New Jersey.
This is one of those things
where it really fucks you here
because I kept on hearing the Southern accent
while I was watching it.
Your mind fills in those blanks.
Yeah, it's really fucking weird.
It is bizarre though.
I mean, well, also for me watching it
just due to talking about her
so much during this quarantine
and doing the impression of her
slash the Zelda Rubenstein impression,
whenever she's on the television now,
like I listen to what she's saying,
but in my head,
all I'm hearing is hey y'all well here's the thing guess what we're not going to stop doing that that was that was that way yeah uh and you know it's it's more fun to do it that way so this is she's got the a story billy's got the b story wow i totally had that reversed by the way really yeah i mean we start with her i feel and she has the big moment towards the end i think yeah she almost leaves melrose place andrew i think that's got to be the a story i guess i
so. I mean, the only thing I'd offer
is there's more
scenes of the Billy's storyline, and it ends
on the Billy storyline. It does end of the
Billy storyline. And the C
storyline is Michael and Jane, question
mark? I don't know. I think we can
all agree that the C storyline is
definitely them, and that's nowhere else.
Because it's like a total
of like 45 seconds.
It's incredible. They come to some epiphany, which
I don't even understand at the end of it.
so we start with
we'll do Sandy's storyline for us
maybe the A1 storyline
and Billy will be A2 here
because it starts with her
it's her in a casting office
a very like weird
we're trying something out shot of like
we're starting with her screaming
and we're looking at her mouth
yeah it's kind of like the opening of blowout
but it's also
it's um
it's weird because this like
starting off with her screaming and we're like
yeah Steve like you said we're like pulling away
from her mouth and whatever
and you see that she's an audition for a horror movie
but then like it almost instantly
cuts to like the courtyard
and more credits start rolling
and then like Billy and Allison's story starts
and I was like was this like their attempt at a weird
super short cold open or something
kind of it feels that way
doesn't it doesn't really work as a scene
because it's so short and it's so weird
and it's just standing at an audition
she's trying out for a slasher movie
and the joke is
there's a lot of dialogue
that gets cut for the audition
and it's like he'd just like scream again
which is like you know sure
well I mean as John Travolta points out and blow out man
I mean the scream is like the most important part
you know you gotta make sure you got that down
a scream queen I
this is like what 92
slash has still existed in the obviously
in the rental market as well but like
this is a downturn for the slasher market
for sure right no doubt about it
Whoa, whoa, whoa. But do you know what comes out exactly a year from this and what I think they're probably, this is probably for? Oh, please.
Is Jason goes to hell.
The 90-slash-er par excellence.
So Jason's souls transforming and going into my body now.
Oh, hey, y'all, I'm auditioning for the role of medical technician that eats his heart for some reason or whatever.
Oh, yeah. Go ahead.
We are miles away and you stole my joke.
I love it.
Oh, hell, Rhonda.
I'm going to have a demon popping out of my mouth.
Oh, why, excuse me, why does the last 40 pages take place in a haunted mansion, y'all?
Shouldn't this be at a summer camp?
Wait, y'all, this screenplay is talking about Jason's ancestry.
Y'all, that seems stupid, child.
Why is this screen direction just the word naked eight times in a row?
That's kind of where this goes.
So, yeah, I mean, that's her thing.
Oh, I will say, though, funny enough, released the same year that this episode aired is Candyman.
Okay.
Which also stars Vanessa Williams, Rhonda.
Oh, yeah.
Nice.
Did that Candyman get moved, the new one that had to have gotten moved, right?
I don't know, actually.
That's a good question.
uh i mean everything's getting moved so probably i was really excited about that it looked really
fucking cool yeah candy man actually came out so what did you say steve this aired in august yeah august 92
so yeah just two months later october 16th 1992 man fucking tony todd touches down i got to rewatch that
movie i watched it probably and i i feel like i was paying attention but like i wasn't super
into it and i feel like i was probably wrong uh i rewatched it in quarantine i should say so you know
within the last seven weeks.
Yeah, same.
It's good.
Totally holds up, man. It's fucking awesome.
The weirdest thing about that movie is that it has a Philip Glass score.
Yes, it definitely does.
And it's amazing.
It's fucking great, but it's just weird.
But yeah, anyway, so weird things with slasher's and cast members of this show and so on.
So, you know, Sandy comes back and she's at shooters.
We'll do the Sandy bit and then we'll do Billy.
Yeah.
because I don't want to blow my pipes out doing
the Billy impression. So
save that for the end. But let's not
forget Michael and
what's her name again.
Jane. You know, let's just do that really quickly.
I love this. I love it.
It's them. They're trying to
he's like, oh, Jane, the baby's
coming. I got to measure the whole
house. Eek, I broke my ankle.
But this is like, this
bedroom is bigger than my
entire living situation
right now. It's humongous. And then
he's trying to, like, move a fucking dresser by himself and throws it on his own ankle.
I don't know what he's trying to fucking do.
Because, first of all, he's like, oh, babe, I don't know, G-Goo, we got to find some space for the crib in here, boobah.
And I'm like, dude, she's like four weeks pregnant.
You're fucking worrying about crib placement.
And the fucking dresser has shit all over the top of it.
You could ask her to help.
You could do it in some way.
You could take the drawers out, maybe.
Yeah, exactly.
There are ways to do this easily.
A suicide reshuffling of this fucking house.
You complete imbecile.
Sit down and decide where you want it.
I'm just going to move to bed here.
I'm going to move the crutch here.
The way he does this pratfall, by the way,
it reminds me very much of this time.
I went out drinking with some buddies.
And we're driving back.
And I really have to go to the bathroom.
So I'm like, oh, I got to go to the bathroom.
So they pull off at the side.
And I walk away a little bit of a ways.
I think that I'm out of sight.
I get piss all over my pants because I'm drunk.
And I'm like, oh, shit.
I can't go back in the car like this.
I'm like, let me do, on my way back, I'll do a Pratt fall,
fall in the snow, and then be like, oh, this snow.
Oh, my God, the snow.
Oh, my God.
So I did this, and I came back and everyone was like,
why did you fake fall?
And I was like, like literally nobody fell for it,
which reminds you very much of how Mr. Mancini
takes this prop fall. It just
it does not look natural at all. Like, what do you
do it? Why did you fall in the middle of your own house?
But you fell for it, Steve. You fell for it.
It's like a bad like
a high school play.
And it's like two 15 year olds playing a married couple
and he's got to like fake hurt his ankle.
It's so dumb.
So he has to go to the hospital. He like sprains his ankle.
They come in in the Sandy storyline in the middle
which we'll talk about. But the only other scene
the only two scenes, A, it's another
hilarious.
This next one is the funniest thing
I've ever seen in my life.
This one has to, no, listen,
the only way this next part
makes any sense as if their fucking house
is haunted by a poltergeist.
It's the same, so he's making her,
he's like, oh, babe, I feel so bad,
you're waiting on me hands and foot.
Let me make you some lentils and peas.
He's like, oh, this is so good.
You're going to love this.
Let me just try to move it by myself
with my fucking brink.
broken leg. He somehow drops it all over the fucking kitchen floor. The towel he was holding is now on fire. And that's where the polterdice comes in. Because what are we doing? How does this towel just burst into flame? Because he does a famous fuck up. And he doesn't turn off the oven before he takes the pot off. He leaves it on. He just turns. He's like, oh my God, fire extinction. Yeah. This is, this is Melro. And of course, stipulation inside here, this place has been haunted by my great grandfather.
As my master Lucifer has said to me, I have to keep all flames on all ovens, at least three feet high, even on low.
This towel just bursts into flames.
And then Jane comes in and there is lentils everywhere.
It's a huge mess.
I was laughing at this mess.
It reminded me of that state sketch you ever remember, and the popes are coming over in 20 minutes.
Yes.
And they're trying to like eat cleanly in their nice white suits and they just basically destroy.
the stage. That's what this looks like.
It's like when Kevin is
carrying the chili in the office
and he fucking spills it. I mean,
it's that kind of a poor, dude.
And she bends over and she's just like,
well, you know, it's all right.
I'm just going to go get a couple of quarter
pounders. Well, it must
have been the ghost of Melford Rowe
the first.
I thought you're going to say his grandfather was
actually Louis B. Mayor.
He's cut up on a
movie set. I do. She
does say at the end, all right, I'll just go get us two, two quarter pounders. I'm like,
well, uh, what are you going to have? Yeah, I mean, honestly, yep, exactly. So, uh,
Jane, you're not eating tonight? Can I get you a bag of nugs, son? Oh, dude, yeah,
definitely a sack full of nugs for those pregnancy cravings, absolutely. Fucking nug bag.
So, and the third and final seat of this non story is she's like, oh, hey Michael, I'm making
dinner pasta a la mancini and he's like oh babe
you always know what to do cook me dinner
question in this part they know the sex of the child
somehow already great point eric i think that's a thing where they're just
saying it i thought about that too like oh he's gonna love you
he's gonna admire you michael mancini doctor guy
maybe maybe it's one of those things where she's like oh fuck like he's gonna be
furious if this isn't a boy that's because he's one of those fucking
people. Oh, Jayne, I already had a telepathic connection
with the child. Oh, no. Melford
Rowe has taken it to the dark dimension.
And mother to me.
Oscar!
Oh, dude, you know, Mel, that's, you're exactly right, Eric.
Melford Rowe exists only as a painting.
And yes, he comes out to collect rent occasionally, to
bring it to hell with him, but...
Oh, he comes out of the painting? Yeah, to collect the
Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
Oh, man, we got to get him and Malachi throne.
We got to get these two together.
Oh, do not.
This is the way the world ends with a handshake, my friend.
So, and that's their story.
So moving on to Sandy, who, again, no accent in this, is she's at Shooters.
Jake, I mean, this guy is a shit heel to beat the band.
He walks into shooters.
She's got a tray of beer that she's serving to all sorts of different people.
And Jake's just like, yoink.
And she's like, that's not yours child.
He's like, it is now.
Yeah.
Did you lose your job?
Sorry.
What a lovable road.
Again, I mean, this, we've talked about this extensively on the air recently, I feel.
Speaking of sack full of nugs, but it goes back to, you know, the decorum around visiting a friend at work.
And I'm also speaking now to Billy who drops in to.
Allison's place of work quite a lot
in this episode also. Like, when you're visiting
a friend at work, man, you have to be
acting like you also have that job.
Yes. You know what I mean? And like, for Jake
to come in and be like, hey, yoik,
glug, glug, glug, glug. It's insane.
And I'm sure Sandy is like,
you know, his bill every night is probably
like 25 cents and it's a wink
and a nudge, but you got to keep that shit
low. That's how it works when your friend works at a bar.
It's like, you know, you act like a regular
customer, but then they hook you up at the end.
absolutely and then you tip the shit out of them which i'm sure jake does not do that's well you read my mind
steve exactly because thinking back to the days we had a friend of ours worked at a bar downtown and we
would go we would drink for free the entire night like five of us and then you throw him a bunch of
money you know and that bar went out of business so very quickly i think when it comes to jake
i think he's thinking you know the tip is the view you get when you're talking to me baby oh that's
Or maybe come get your tip later.
It's in my fucking pants.
He tries that.
It doesn't work this episode.
So she is really excited about this audition.
Rhonda shows up.
She's like, you had almost a voicemail wrong,
an answering machine message from that lady.
You got the part.
Yay.
But she fucks with her though here.
Which I believe starts everything out on the bad note.
Because she's like, no, you didn't get any calls.
Oh, wait.
There was like a feldstone.
or a Feldstein
and she's like Feldman
and Rhonda's like
oh yeah that's right
Feldman you got the part
This is the Seinfeld mirror universe
Yeah totally
Like meanwhile this poor woman
is like waiting for this callback
She's like you know
doubting herself
doubting her acting ability
And this this roommate friend of her
Is this supposed to deliver the message
And it's like oh I'll deliver that message
But not before fucking with this person
For a few minutes
It's definitely not like Sandy fucks
with people constantly
like in literally every episode
so she gets the part
she's super excited
it's um she's trying to
she's trying to her and this is a Melrose
place staple of
bad roommates and nobody knows what a common
area is for no one knows how to fucking
live with another person
I'm sorry you're all in your mid-20s figure it the
fuck out you're all in your mid-20s
all of your bedrooms have doors on them
exactly let's do something here
Sandy if you need to run your lines
you want to read your lines you want to focus on
those, go in your room and close the door.
Rhonda, if you want to
fucking practice, you know,
pick out your new songs for your dance routine,
that's great. Go in the room,
close the door, keep the volume to a low
roar, or use your fucking headphones.
Yeah, but I guess it's just not compelling
television. That's fair.
If everyone was just sitting in their room
not conflicting with one another.
That's what everyone's doing now at Melrose's
place. Right. I mean, I feel
though, like I would appreciate just one
episode if someone you know if alison is like you know what billy can you fucking take that huge
computer and go in your bedroom with it and leave it there just once if someone acknowledged a living
room every single episode someone should tell billy to shut the fuck up also true so uh sandy is uh reading
her lines ronda's listening to the music she's like hey uh could you uh put you and she's actually
quite nice here she's like ronda could you please put your headphones on girl because i just i need to
these lines right and she's like
no I'm trying to get my new
songs together for my dance routine I'm like that's
the answer to can you put your headphones
on is one of two things
A they're broken or B yes of course
because all you're
doing Rhonda is
listening to music I
I have a little bit of an argument for Rhonda
on this one okay
it's she has to hear it in a full room
because it's going to be playing in a
full room
and like she needs to hear like I'm sure
the acoustics at the fucking
Ronda's aerobics are insane
but uh oh get out of here
it doesn't matter about sound quality
it's fucking jazzer size dude is it
loud can I fucking shake my
ass to the rhythm but also
fucking
Sandy's like no I can't
read my lines down by the pool I can't do it
can't do it in my room can't do in the bathroom
I have to do it exactly here
no but that's the thing Chris you just pointed it out
what is it please child
no but you just pointed it out
have it exactly right ronda's suggestion is not hey sandy maybe you go in your bedroom it is hey sandy
maybe you try to go study lands out by the pool in public of course that's a terrible idea but no one
in either situation neither of them say could you please do that in your room listen you know the
rule if you're sitting around by the pool matt's going to show him be like hey we could all if you're
just sitting around we could always use another set of hands at the halfway house and that's a
real problem with living at meadow's place in general steve i think you're
hit the nail on the head is a lot of people want to move here.
One of the perks, I would think, right, is that, oh, fuck, there's a pool.
That's pretty cool.
But after, like, your first week there, you're already bumming.
You're like, I can't even fucking sit by the pool.
There's this guy, I think his name's Matt.
Every time I'm trying to sit up by the pool and just relax, he's asking me to fucking
volunteer at this halfway house.
What is this place?
So you can't use the pool.
It's off limits.
Because Matt's the worst.
And Malachi Throne resides there, as we all know.
Oh, right. He lives at the bottom of the pool.
The port of all hell that Mel Ford Row is also being called into from time to time.
Also, the pool is also used for being tossed into.
That's actually very true.
No, if she went out there to read her line, she'd be tossed in the pool.
Exactly. And then anything you, that's just open season.
If you have a book, it's going in the pool.
You're wearing a beeper, Dr. Michael Mancini. Sorry, it's ruined. It's in the pool.
Yeah, Bronda can't get those.
fucking page is wet, dude.
That patient died because the beeper died.
And then, I mean, to top it off, Sandy is then like, Rhonda is about to make a phone call.
And, like, Sandy's like, oh, honey, you're an incompetent.
You don't know how to switch over to call waiting.
Could you not use the phone?
You don't know what you're doing.
She claims precedent, though.
She says that Rhonda always ignores it and answers it too late and they hang up.
That's kind of nuts.
That's a bit of a terrorist situation.
You always have to switch over.
Absolutely.
I've never had call waiting.
Is that right?
Yeah, I wouldn't even know what to do if something happened.
You push the button and it clicks over.
I just lived in a world of busy signals or bust.
On your cell phone, you have call waiting now?
Oh, I guess so, yeah.
Yeah, that's, is that what we're talking about?
Modern cell phones?
No, but on call waiting is like you'd be on the phone.
Right.
And then you'd be talking and it would be like a dude in the speaker.
Right.
I saw that in movies and television.
Right.
And then you hit the little hang up on the receiver and it clicks over to the other line.
Okay.
And then you're like, no, my mom's not here.
If you do it too hard, if I do a hard hang, that's probably not going to work, right?
What hard is it?
Like, if I hold it down too long, like, I'm going to fuck it up, dude.
I'm going to fuck it up.
Here's the thing.
If you hold it down too long and it hangs up on who you're talking to and you've just like fully hung up that phone, that second line's going to get through and your phone's going to start ringing.
Oh, interesting. I didn't know that.
Yeah, man. Two-line phone.
My brother once dropped our portable phone in the toilet and it whistled like a tea kettle for a while.
Yeah, that's something.
Just an FYI.
So whatever, like, yeah, so she, we're having a little bit of a roommate drama about.
And like, Rhonda is immediate, I'm sorry, Sandy is immediately like, no, Rhonda.
Rhonda is immediately like, oh, someone's getting a little too big for their britches.
And it's like, I don't know.
It's kind of an exciting time for this.
it's an exciting week in Sandy's life
if everyone can just give her a titch
of latitude. Thank you very
much Steve Sadek because these
fucking heathens at this apartment
complex are crawling up this girl's
ass immediately and they're not even taking
into consideration like oh man like this is
her career this is what she wants to do
they're treating it more like
oh good for you you got a little part in a thing
I'm on the other side of this completely
she's acting like Norma fucking Desmond
she's like oh you never believed
me did you Jake well fuck you
very much goodbye
much later in the episode cabin
not at the point we're talking about
but in Sandy's defense I mean like you got
characters like Billy is like yeah I'm
you're doing a little newspaper column that someone
uses to line their parakeets
cage with sure
and everyone in the complex is like
oh my God thank you
you are doing something oh my
Lord and then she's acting in a
major motion picture and you know
I'm not trying to
confirm that it's major
Well, it's a motion picture.
It's a motion picture. People love to
be little horror, but it's a motion
picture. It's a big deal.
It'll get on IMDB in a couple of years, Chris.
It's true. It'll be lining
the $5 been at the
car wash in like two years.
It'll be great for her. But see, it's circulating.
Billies will
never, no one will read a word by
Billy. So a
word by Billy. So she
good title, honestly.
She winds up, she's got a
it's kind of a weird way she puts it
like the casting agent is taking her out
to do to a party
it's a party in the Hollywood Hills
y'all I'm going to get murdered
tonight
so she's getting she's all excited
and she
borrows Rhonda's outfit without asking
and Rhonda's kind of pissed which is fair
totally fair don't take my fucking clothes
but again it seems like this is going back and forth
anyway like the volley is in full
force at this point but but in Ronda's
his defense right here she's like dude
I fucking wore that twice
and you're gonna take it out and she's like
I'll be careful with it y'all
promise I won't get murdered in it
also when me
and Andrew and Steve lived together
if I had come home and
like Steve had had my
faded snapcase t-shirt on
and I just didn't say anything about it I'd be like what the fuck
dude what do you what's the fucking deal
with this and I'd be right to say
fuck you also if you yeah if I was
wearing your faded snapcase t-shirt
you should call the hospital because I've lost
my mind
also you'd be swimming in it
yeah a little bit at the time you need to get
the guys with the white outfits and the
butterfly nets just because
it's a sign of a much larger problem so she
she's on her way out and
in comes the entirety of
Melrose place mostly it's
Michael Jane and
Matt of course
it's everybody who doesn't have anything else to do on this
Exactly, and they've got a cake and balloons
And it's a nice gesture
But it's like just the wrong timing
It's a nice gesture but like it is
It's going overboard man
And they're like
Yeah, we're throwing you apart
She's like well I have a date
And he's like bring him along
And it's like well no
We're going somewhere else
And he's like oh okay
And then she's like
The casting director's coming over here
I don't want to see fucking balloons
I want to play this a little bit cool
And Ron is like
You know what just forget it
just say it was my birthday or something.
Yeah, yeah.
And she's like, well, let me get these balloons out of here, y'all.
And then Ronda's like, God, Sandy, just leave him.
Then the next day, how does this blow up?
She goes to the party and then she comes home.
Oh, yeah, so she goes to the party.
She comes home.
And she is laughing like fucking Frank Gorshian on the set of the Batman show, man.
I don't know, I don't know what gas she was cast with, but it is terrified.
It's eerie laughing.
It is.
And I think the thing here,
at least I wanted it to go this way and it doesn't
but I was like oh
this week's lesson is
Sandy learns not to do cocaine at Hollywood parties
I seriously thought she was like
drugged out of her mind
I think she's supposed to be drunk or something
I was expecting one of like the casting
director or some of one of her
producer friends to like
hit on her really aggressively like to have
the Allison storyline from the beginning of the season
right right and that just doesn't happen
she just comes back like I like I literally was Norma Desmond like you don't know what it's like
yet all my dreams are coming true you would expect it to be a bigger moral quandry than
should I be nude in a film and that is like a big high stakes moment for Sandy in this
well it would be it would be high stakes for me dude if I was asked to fucking show my cock in a
movie against my will and I didn't want to do it that'd be pretty high stakes sure but I mean
whatever man so jake is like hey want to fuck and she's like not really because we don't go out
and like i mean she kind of shoves it in his face but let's be honest here this entire season
jake has been going up to sandy letting her smell it like oh i'm fucking this high school girl
ooh i might be fucking alison and now all of a sudden it's like want to come into my room
and she's like nah dude you had your chance check
great it's great to do a power move against this guy right he's gotten everything he's ever wanted
except for a job or money yeah but the the thing right before this though is i think speaks to
chris's norma desmond idea here because jake's like oh that's so great you got a part you know
i always knew you'd make it and she's like don't lie child i know what you thought
yeah like you you always thought i'd be a fucking wash out spit out the back of the porn industry
he probably did
oh he definitely did they all did that's
the thing that's why you know what sandy's right
fucking lay waste to this fucking place
the smartest thing she ever does is
in the next scene when she tries to move
because she's running lines with ronda
and ronda it's like
oh it's like some
it's your classic thing where it's not even
at all in what we see later on
but it's like you're going to get exactly what
you deserve because you treat
everyone so horribly it's like
that ain't in the script y'all she's like i guess i got carried away and then they start like sniping at each other
and she's like could you not do this i have i'm literally about to go to the biggest uh a job of my life in hours
and you're throwing this shit at my feet right now not a good friend move not the time for it and she's like
she does the whole like you've changed and all of this and it's like listen nobody especially sandy
asked for that party ronda i know that your ass is burned about that but
nobody asked for that.
The party's the stupidest idea in the entire world.
Like, you shouldn't, for that little thing, for the stabbing four, you know, no.
Yeah.
At least wait until, like, filming has been successful.
Like, if she's got a rap on the movie, it's like, oh, she wrapped her first motion picture.
That's awesome.
And the argument, Rhonda does have a point because she's like, look, I'm going to be your friend,
but I'm not going to be a dormant.
And Shandy's response to that is, oh, well, then I guess we're not friends there.
Yeah.
I'm sorry about that, honey.
I can't walk on you.
constantly. Fuck you.
Also, yeah, if you're doing
the party thing, it's got to be like, hey,
Sandy, are you free Saturday night?
Oh, why? No reason. Just be
here Saturday night. That's the way you do
that shit. Because the way that she actually does
it, Steve, good call. It actually
starts the whole
Sandy reaction to
the party off on the wrong note because she's
like, oh no, child,
he's here 10 minutes early.
Oh, I'm not even dressed yet. Rhonda,
can you get the door? And Ron, Ron,
is like, no, you get it.
Because she knows that the people are at the door.
And Sandy's like, Rhonda, just please get the door.
I'm just not dressed yet.
But then she's like, she doesn't understand it.
So she just goes to the door angry.
So she's, the emotion she's feeling is like anger and frustration when she sees these
people compounding her nervousness about this party and the role and everything else anyway.
So the whole thing, like Rhonda should have found a better way to be like, oh, you know,
know what, I'd really love to go get the door, but
ooh, I got to go take a shit.
There you go. Always, always, always
the reason. Just go with it every time.
So Sandy's
just like, look, I guess I'm moving
our child if we're not even friends no
moors. Bye, y'all.
And this is exactly the energy I want
to bring to set. Thank you so much
Rhonda for being a good friend.
I'm in a great mood to
fucking get murdered today. Oh, you don't
have anybody else to take my place? Bye.
so she does go to set we do we're having a little bit of fun this week on merylowe's place
because we're like we're pretending you know we're not telling you were at the scene right now
it's just uh sandy in a in a bog walking around
uh and of course this this overweight minor comes to grab her
yeah it's my bloody valentine for sure yeah i think we were we were all just about to say the
same exact thing yeah you can't use a fucking minor as your character dude that's an established
horror villain.
Right. That's like if
a guy in a hockey mask came out.
Yeah, it's like a less obvious version
of that. But like you kind of know immediately
though, Steve, because she's like in a forest out of
nowhere. Yeah, it's fair. And she's very much
dressed like a, like camp
counselor, Friday the
13th type character, you know, like the
fucking Daisy Dukes and a
button down shirt that's tied off
kind of a thing. She sees a dead body
and then she's faced with the fat killer.
I love what this guy eventually takes off
his mask and they're behind the scenes on the set
and he just looks like a real like a heavy heavy cane
hotter with the mustache.
Cate Hodder if he never hit the weights.
Yeah, it's like cane hotter on the off season
on the convention circuit.
Candy cane hotter.
Good old kit cat hotter.
Yeah, exactly.
He fucking kills Twinkies.
you'll never be ready
for the fat killer
you'll be out of breath
when you meet the fat killer
get ready to go on a diet of blood
with the fat killer
you may think you can outrun him
because you can
it's the fat killer
escape
by doing a single pull-up
to avoid the fat killer
he's breathing heavy
but you're not breathing at all
oh there it is there it is that's the one
that's on the poster
so it is the fat killer
he's just kind of hanging out
this director
it's such a strawman bullshit thing
they they immediately
choose a female director
for no reason like name me fucking
I mean I know the last nightmare
movie is directed by a woman there are female slasher
directors but they turn her
into the Harvey Weinsteiny
cigar chomping like
I mean, that's why.
Now you're going to take your top off.
And it's like, okay.
Because if a man was doing it would be like too heinous for television.
That's it.
I mean, that's exactly.
That's the only reason why the director of fucking bloodbath four or whatever this is is this woman to be like, oh, see?
Like, it's just the industry itself.
It's not a man problem.
Yeah.
She's got a great line too.
It's like, oh, what you don't want to do a topless scene?
Well, you know what?
You're not special.
You're a piece of fucking shit.
And I can get a little.
another piece of fucking shit in here
within a week.
I mean, to this director's point,
this director knows that she's making
bloodbath for.
Yes.
Like, and she's totally right.
I mean, it is a slasher movie.
You'd think Sandy would have some knowledge of that,
but they should have obviously told her before she had.
Oh, yeah.
You can't fucking spring this on people.
And that's got to be like contractual things.
It should be.
Is she sag or what?
It's my question.
Because I feel like SAG wouldn't let this.
But I mean, obviously,
this stuff happens all the time, sort of,
but not like this.
not like this i feel like it probably does happen like this an awful lot i mean if you're working
for like a troma level movie i don't think there's too many checks and balances going on there
oh definitely not you don't want to look at those books too yeah a trauma level is checks and
bounces yes yes do you think when people get there like you know a lot of actors on
twitter whatever will be like oh i got my six cents uh whatever check and then someone's like yeah my
six cent check
check from Trouba bounced.
They sent me a check for a negative amount.
So when I deposited it takes money from me.
It goes back to Lloyd Kaufman.
It's the perfect crime.
So she and like, so the thing is like, we're going to do.
That was great.
Let's do it again.
This time he's going to slowly cut into your shirt and grab your breasts.
And it's like, okay, she's really uncomfortable.
She doesn't want to do it.
But then she, you know, she gets talked to it.
because this woman kind of bullies her
and then she does it
and the guy's like cutting off her shirt
very slowly and then we cut.
You hear the director too
like giving like direction to the guy
playing the killer.
The fat killer.
And then like back to directing Sandy
and she's like, that's right.
Yeah, just let those tears keep flowing.
Yeah, dude.
And you're like, man.
Okay, female director.
That's, you know, that's how it is.
These women directors, man,
they're a real fucking terror on set.
Also a thing about,
what the direction is doing here.
It doesn't make any sense
because from the first take...
Yes.
It's clear that what they're filming here
is like a jump scare.
This character that Sandy is playing
is going to be murdered immediately.
I mean, the weird thing about it is like,
they're making a point of like,
this is awful, she shouldn't be treated like this.
Let's also show it happen.
Yes, oh, of course.
You could have just cut there
also making the episode shorter, which makes me happy.
Well, Chris, this is the sexiest moment of the show.
Yes. But it's bad. It's bad. Don't you know it's bad?
What she's directing in the second take, though, is like from a different part of the movie and something that would be happening to a different character. You know what I mean?
It's more like, okay, that was great. Thank you so much. Ah, you want to do that as pornography? Yeah, let's do that as pornography now. That was good. We tried it once. Not as pornography. Let's do it now as pornography. What I'm going to do is do a Jonathan Demi close up on your chest.
uh yeah i mean it's it's truly awful and like you kind of it cuts like after the dude like
cuts off the second button of the second of two buttons yeah the final second and final
button yeah uh so we cut there she comes she's now moving out um and as she is uh is this what
she runs into jake and she yeah she's she's got she runs she runs into jake and they have a scene
and she kind of explains and it's and again pretty good amy lo kane acting here
now that the accent isn't tripping her up.
I definitely think
San's accent, we have an improvement on the
performance, guaranteed. She's just like
oh, you know, and like she
relives the humiliation. She lets Jake know
what's going on. And she walks out,
right? She doesn't actually do it.
That's a question that I think is left
open because that's what I thought she was about to
then say is like, and then I
couldn't do it so I walked
off. But she doesn't say that.
Instead she says like how
the director had the actor
like hold her breast and cut the shirt open with the machete and everything and I was like
so they got the take or what you know I I don't know that it's actually clear uh yeah so like
that's how that goes and like Jake is like kind of trying to talk her into staying he's like
but all your friends are here and I if I get like even if like you know maybe I feel bad the way
I treated Rhonda it's it's reason enough to leave Melrose place all of this is reason enough to
Like, you know what? I just, I had a what I thought was going to be a good week and like, yeah, it went shitty because of the other stuff.
But also went shitty because these people will not leave me alone.
Totally. I just can't get a lick of privacy. Also, I can still work at shooters. They can come see me there.
At least there's a fucking, there's a framework here for a friendship. Yeah, they show up, they show up there anyway, you know, they abuse that relationship at her job.
Does she need it in her private life too? Yeah, exactly. Also, though, her weird thing about like,
oh, you know, don't worry.
There's someone I know from the production
who's hooking me up at a guest house
in the hills somewhere.
And I was like, is this woman going to live on the street?
Like, is that a fake story?
Like, I couldn't get whether or not
she was telling the truth about that.
Maybe it was either between her or Kate O'Kalind
for that guest house situation.
You don't know. You didn't know who was going to get it.
Right. That's actually true.
A long-haired blonde.
either or that's what the
one who appears to like surfing
and one who does not
so whatever she winds up
staying at Melrose place
and everything works out right she apologizes to Ronda
Ronda apologizes to her and like Ronda
even says like you know I got a little
jealous to him like a fucking course you did Ronda
because your wheels are spinning remember
when you turned down that dance troupe for no
reason exactly excuse me Ronda
like this was just what last week
we were talking about this that's what's killing
about this is the only people they encourage is billy everyone else it's like no you should feel bad about
trying to succeed at life maybe because billy is the one they secretly definitely don't like so they're
like oh yeah let's encourage this guy so he gets a solid career gets successful doesn't need to have
alison as a roommate anymore and he can fucking leave this place that we all treasure so much or we
all know he's so fucking talentless he'll never do it let's just keep pushing him so we look good and when he
out he fails out it's true and bonus points if he winds up face down in the pool fantastic malachi
throne fed again so that's it we've been teasing it everyone you know the throne heads out there
going nuts waiting for this storyline for weeks uh so this is that's that's that's said his thing she just
they make up everybody's happy blah blah blah blah she didn't fuck jake but jake's looking out for
like a big brother these days yada yada yada should be off the show in three weeks um we're gonna go
They end with, like, eating cake together.
Oh, that's what you...
Let's pig out, child.
So...
Hey, y'all, you got any cake left from that party I hated?
Where are your balloons?
I love those balloons.
I'm sorry I said that.
Hey, who wants to watch my pornography later?
Jake raises his hand.
So, uh, we start off Allison is cleaning.
She's...
And again, she's up Billy's...
Everybody in this...
You guys need to fucking break up, dude, because...
either fuck or break up.
Because she's up his ass, like,
where have you been?
I haven't seen you.
And he's like,
I don't know,
I had a dark night of the soul.
I kind of just walked around a little bit.
And she's like,
Billy,
this is L.A.
People don't wander.
I was like,
Skinrow has something to disagree with you about.
So whatever.
She's,
you know,
they can have a little blow about,
you know,
Billy has some short story idea on a cocktail napkin.
Fucking put it on like a piece of toilet paper
and then like fucking soaked it
in red wine or something.
Yeah, you're going to look at this thing? It looks disgusting.
Why would you ever keep this?
Unless it was covered by additional garbage after she threw it.
Alethan, I had an idea for a short story.
It said beginning, conflict, and epiphany.
You can't throw that out.
It's a killer idea.
It's so important, too, because the newspaper shuddered.
The free newspaper is gone.
His column is gone.
Oh, yeah, dude.
He says it went under.
And she's like, what, how does a free paper go under?
he's like, I don't know, Allison, I'm not a newspaper scientist.
Allison, I had this great idea for a movie called The Silence of the Sheep
where a young FBI, a young FBI, gets with a catalyst to killer.
Billy, you got to stop coming up with ideas when you're sitting right by my video shelf, bud.
So, he's like, well, fine, forget you, Allison, buy, go to work or whatever.
So she does, and Billy gets a call from his parents, like, hey, we're all excited to
to see you this weekend, you and Allison
both, they're like, oh, fuck, it's that
weekend. So he goes
to her place, her place of employment
again, he brings her flowers
and he's like, oh, listen,
I was being a great A jerk before.
Sorry about that.
Yeah, she works at D&D,
Dungeons and Dragons.
That's what I thought the entire time, because she keeps on
answering the phone going, D&D.
Oh, please, D&D.
Billy, what are you going to do with your mage?
D&D, what did you roll?
Hold, please. D&D, what'd you roll? Hold, please.
D&D, Andrew doesn't know how to play it. Hold, please.
Well, I don't know. If you don't have enough XP points to beat the dragon, I don't know what to tell you. I honestly don't know what to tell you. Customer helpline.
Well, if Derek, if Derek is your Gia, your game master and he's giving you bad roles, you've got to talk to Derek.
We can't do anything here at D&D industry. That's a Derek problem.
The Indies Industries.
So whatever, he's like, oh, you know, my family's got this awesome place in Palm Springs, want to spend the weekend with us.
Everyone's going to be there.
It's going to be great.
She's like, I guess so.
You know, absolutely not.
This is what you do.
I am moving out.
Thank you.
Me and Sandy are going to get a place together somewhere else.
Those are the two that only have like a little bit, like have any kind of decorum about them.
she's like she's like hey billy you remember a couple weeks ago when me and sandy had that heart to heart at the abortion clinic well it turns out ever since then we've become really good friends and we're just going to move in together so i don't know maybe you can move in with ronda i'm sure she wouldn't want that uh goodbye
sandy and fucking alison go and they split oj's guest room and that's going to be a great series for like a year and a half
Allison, I can't talk now. I'm supposed to be hiding this knife.
Oh, Allison, the juice needs me to look after his stuff while he's in Chicago.
Oh, sorry about this, Allison. I can't meet you for lunch today.
The juice asked me to pick him up in the Bronco. I got to drive him somewhere.
He just wants to see his mom, okay?
He just wants to see his mother. Just let him see his mother, okay?
What's with all this police? Can a guy drive?
Allison, sorry, me and Al Michaels
need to fuck with the state's
timeline. I'll be back a little later.
Oh, man. So, yeah,
it's important to point out here
also that Billy says
his parents rent
a condo in Palm Springs every year
and not only is Billy
attending, but he has
multiple sisters
who are also attending. It's very important
to keep that in mind.
And that makes sense, and when they finally get
there and is like oh elephant
they're at the doorway and it's like
oh little thing I got I forgot to
tell you my sisters aren't coming
and she's like well that just really
sucks because now it's like now it's like this
weird double date like with me and your
parents that's much more awkward than
just a friend coming over it's like yeah
oh also I told them we were going
out
a little bit
a little bit high to brother Andrew
could you please come on the show
no I'm not doing that Andrew
could you please come
on the show. We have a special
part for you. I know. I'm not
doing that. Thank you very much. I have the
saint to do in three years.
Alathan, it's going to be
great. You're going to beat my sister. She was it back
to the future tour. You love that movie.
This fucking
Custanza level
web of lies that he's got going on here, dude.
Like, they get there, Malachi throne.
By the way, if you don't know what we're talking about,
it's the name of the actor who plays Billy's
father. Well, it's a
William Sr.
And you can only say it when you write it in blood.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
If you say it backwards, three times,
he goes back into the pool,
into the hell dimension.
So he's like making smoothies or cocktails or something,
and they're like just talking to what they think is their son's girlfriend.
And then it also comes up that he has fucking told his parents
that not only are they dating,
but that she works for a literary agency.
A literary agency that sold his script question.
Right. Yes. It's all, none of it makes sense.
But, and I feel like Billy thinks here it's like, oh, wow, perfect fail-fif.
I'll just tell them that it's in development hell and we'll never know when the movie's actually going to come out.
Because, yeah, it's also, yeah, she works for a literary agency, the same literary agency that bought my script.
Wow, this is getting fucking heavy, dude.
Oh, so you're loaded then or something, right?
Yeah. And so she's like, can I talk to you outside for a second, dude?
And she fucking calls him out on this. And in the big.
biggest asshole line, I think he's had the entire series so far.
He's like, Alethan, you should be flattered.
And I'm like, dude, what are you talking about?
And again, it's one of those things that he doesn't even,
he learns a different lesson in this episode.
He does not learn not to fuck with people,
which is the lesson he should learn.
Yeah, stop using your friends like this.
Allison, you should be honored.
This is one of my wackiest games.
I chose to include you at my wackiest.
of hair brands the games yet.
So she's
like playing along as best she can, even though
the lie keeps moving.
And it comes to pass
that Billy's dad wants him to take over the furniture
store. He gave him a year to not do that.
But now it's come time to do that.
This dinner scene,
my fucking God. It's straight
out of Todd Solens. Malachi
throne is over there saying, it's the
good jeans that make you talented.
Like, I'm like, holy fuck, dude.
It's pretty.
serious. And again, like, Dr. Eugenics
over here. We should say this dude's voice
beats the fucking band, man.
It is velveteen and
awesome. It's so great, dude.
His voice is so great that I
was thinking about, like,
looking up ladder in
life Malachi throne rolls
just so I could hear him speak
further. Because he doesn't have a ton
of lines in this episode. Well, you know, once you get to
hell, he's probably like the boat
man or something. Yeah, like
the devil likes good soothing
voices. It's like him, Leonard Cohen,
Nick Cave.
Oh, he's on retainer. Yeah. Michael Jackson.
Oh, man.
They have a fax machine in hell now.
So, look,
whatever, she goes to bed
and he's... Okay, hang on.
Before we get out of the
first night here, this is
why I was talking about
he says that the sisters aren't going to come after all or whatever
because the two of them are forced to sleep on a fold-out couch together
is the thing and if this condo was originally supposed to sleep
like three different siblings and partners
why are they sharing this fucking couch
because Elizabeth Shoe was an adventures in babysitting she could get a hotel room
I mean, it's just insane.
And also, Billy, God damn it, dude.
Billy Campbell, you fucking son of a bitch.
Allison is like bundled up with like pajama pants and her bathrobe and slippers on.
And he's laying there fucking spread eagle and boxer shorts like,
Al that I promise.
No funny stuff.
Just come to bed.
And I'm like, dude, if you are sharing a fucking bed with a platonic person where there could be
sexual things going on, you got to fucking at least put a shirt on.
put pants on.
He's like laying out, dude.
The fucking sunning his taint.
The mouse is going to come out of the house, okay?
Yep, exactly.
Boxer shorts like that, forget it.
90s boxer shorts without the button?
I didn't see a button there, dude.
Nary a button to be found.
So whatever, that all happens.
He explains that his dad is really pushing him to take the business over.
And you know what?
He's just going to do it because he's a fucking pushover.
Also, the thing that we don't say in this episode,
absolutely is happening. Billy's getting
money from his parents. Can we just fucking stop
already? We just fucking stop.
Because that's his whole plan
right? Because he says like, okay
my parents said I could
have a year to try to do the writing
thing which also anytime
you're doing like a career goal thing
and it's like I'm giving myself just a
year to do this and then if it doesn't happen
in a single calendar year
I'm giving up bad move
because it's never going to happen in the first year.
We've already given up. We get this
full, like, story of
William Campbell, Sr. and, like,
his life and everything. And all we
get of his mother is, I'm good
at sauces.
I've got to tell it for
sauces. This mother looks like
the fucking old lady from Brazil, though. You get
a look at the smile on this woman?
She is lynchian and terrifying
in her own right. Absolutely.
Also, Billy should just work at the
furniture store and write after hours.
Why is it such a big fucking deal?
Thank you, Eric. Thank you.
Like, because he'll make more money than doing that than taxis.
And tell your dad, like, look, I don't want to take a management role right now,
but I can, you know, I could learn the business for a couple of years while I try and get my writing thing going.
No promises that I'm going to take the business, but I'll have one foot in one door and one foot in the other.
Exactly. Exactly.
This gets confusing because Billy, Billy acts like he left home to go to L.A.
To make his fortune as a writer.
And I'm like, the fucking furniture store is in L.A.
dude it's right down the street from shooters probably what the fuck are you talking about
well he said he was from the valley or something well that's we pretend in this beverly hills
nine oh two and no universe this is still the extended universe chris then all this stuff is miles
away beverly hills is its own fiefdom on a hill and then you have to fucking take a boat to
melrose place and you have to take a fucking boat to models ink or whatever like it's the same
fucking nine blocks it's like the keys i want to see the fantasy novel map of that
Beverly Hills and Melrose Place.
Just all the borders, the, the craggy mountains that are in between.
Yeah, exactly.
And there's a fucking giant evil tower where a Malachi throne resides and sells furniture.
Jesus Christ, did you know that Beverly Hills has a king?
I did, yeah, yeah.
Outrules the president.
It's kind of amazing.
So whatever, we see this furniture store.
It's just your classic on the strip furniture store.
Like, Billy's doing his best to sell
But not doing a great job
Like, it's a couple that want
Paisley instead of whatever the fuck fabric
And like his dad stops mid-sale
By the way, he's like, oh, Billy,
You're doing such a good job
Selling furniture.
You're a natural, Billy.
You almost have their souls, Billy.
Just go back and seal the deal.
Make sure they sign on the dotted line.
Yes, Dad.
I'm about to make $400.
Congratulations.
Keep it in your pants.
He keeps not actually like he's a young
Shelley the Machine Levine
in the sales room.
And like all he's known is, yeah, it's a
couch.
Can you pay for it, please?
And like, he's just like,
oh, you were just made for this son.
You were just made for this.
And I'm like, dude, just pay attention
for five seconds. I beg of you.
Malachi throne kind of shows his hand
here as a bad business manager
because when he's trying to give his pep talk to him,
he's like, oh, yes, Billy.
Do you see across the sales floor those two other idiots over there,
Flotsam and Jetsam?
Yes, they've been working with me for 25 years,
and oh, Billy, are they terrible at selling things?
And I was like, dude, you have kept these people on
for the better part of three decades,
and you think they're terrible at what they do?
Oh, yes, and they steal from me, Billy all the time.
Oh, I'm pretty sure one of them is sleeping here,
after hours, Billy. I can't prove
it, but someday I will.
Okay, Billy, you don't have to sell furniture,
but just watch the register.
Make sure they're not taking anything.
Oh, there's a hole in this place,
Billy. I don't know how deep it goes,
but we just can't hold on to money.
But I mean, I do think that, like I said,
that there is like,
okay, Billy, I'll give you $1,200 a month
for rent and other expenses, but eventually
the furniture store is mine
or yours actually
I mean but that's the thing
dude and I feel like that's a thing
it's unfortunately unsaid
yes because nobody really
talks about this in television in that way
like at least then is like his parents
are helping him out but like Malachi
throne's going to be like all right Billy
the faucet is being turned off
you're coming home to
sit next to the throne
while Malachi
throne is like taking the eyes at
newts for the next fucking
you know meeting
he's like telling him like
I'm sorry I did that
I pressured you like this
it's bad to do that I know
I just expected you to do this
because my father didn't be he's very
very like honest with him and trying to be
heartfelt and then Billy's like
well dad you were just you were always about
furniture you had no other interests
you're hollow inside other than furniture
and I'm like no he's not
he's a man what the fuck
yeah exactly
I fucking thrown. He's more than a man.
Well, I did, you know, my occult business
didn't take off the way I wanted to do,
so I just sell a cursed furniture.
You can only bleed so many chickens dry,
Billy, before the cops come to get you.
And then I love his second sales
scene. He's trying to
make a sale with
the legendary Liz Sheridan. You know, or is Helen
Seinfeld on Seinfeld, of course.
um i think she was also
was she in black Christmas actually cabin
was she the house mother in that movie no but you're she is
she's a house mother in something oh that's gonna fucking kill me
I thought it was that but anyway yeah it's kind of awesome
because she's like being like the difficult
salesperson or you know
sale mark or whatever oh
she's the den mother in school spirit
previous side of house
yeah
but yeah she's just like
Like, you know, I bet this fucking sale that you're having is a bunch of garbage.
And I think you're all a bunch of filthy life.
Oh, right there.
I see it.
The sign above the door.
Malachi throne owns this place.
I know all about that bad.
Oh, well, actually, now that I'm supposed to tell you, once you realize you're in Malachi's throat domain, you have to abandon all hope because every, welcome to hell.
It just cuts to Malachi throne.
Explodio
and she burst into place.
That'd be pretty rad.
No, Billy, you have to go from the gut.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
No.
So he gets into it with Mrs. Seinfeld
and like kind of just tells her to go
fuck herself, which is pretty funny.
He calls her a bitch.
It's crazy.
Not to her face.
Not to her face.
Well, thank God.
The door barely closes, though.
She storms out.
He's like, what a bitch?
And I'm like, come on, what?
Come on, dude.
And he tells his dad, like, look, this is just, I tried this for even a day and a half.
And it is just not working out.
Dude, the way this fucking loser goes through jobs like this, he's just quitting all these jobs, man.
What an asshole.
Is he still paying for the fucking taxi?
That's a great question, Chris.
The cab has not mentioned in this episode.
I don't know.
They left it all alone.
Well, you'd think he'd have to, like, trade off with another cabby, right?
I mean. Oh, he's in that business.
Well, yeah, I guess. Well, yeah, it's not like
he doesn't own it. It's not his car.
But I mean, look, yeah, but to Chris's point, like, did he
quit? Did he not quit? Is he right?
Yeah. Who the hell knows, right?
And who the hell cares? He just gets through life, man.
He just gets through life.
I'll go if I'll just work for
Satan now.
But yeah, he basically, he tells his dad,
like, this is not for me. You can't push
me into this, blah, blah, blah.
The dad's like, I guess,
fine with it, whatever. He goes
home and it's like, now
because Malachi Throne is like sitting
in the office, like he's
in the store, like all the lights are off.
He's doing the books or
something, like looking at the receipts for the day
when they have this conversation. So I was like,
okay, it's after closing
hours for this store. So like post
what, eight o'clock,
nine o'clock, something like that.
Yeah. When Billy comes back to Melrose's
place, Allison's just outside
barbecuing in the dark. Yeah.
I don't know what's going on here, man.
You've never had a midnight burger?
Oh, I've had a midnight burger, man,
but I've never been out grilling by myself in the middle of the night.
Some midnight nug bags.
That definitely.
But what's crazy about this grill sequence is they get to talk,
and they just abandon the grill with food cooking on it.
Great point.
Great point.
Not good, man.
That's a no-no.
The meeting in the furniture store,
I mean, like, you have to know,
Billy walks in, he's like, God damn it, Billy.
The blood orgy is 10 minutes away.
Everybody's in back getting undressed.
You better make it quick.
Oh, man, they do like shuntonings at this furniture store.
Oh, totally.
Mrs. Seinfeld's definitely involved.
In the back, the throne room.
That little haunted turkey from Lords of Salem comes out.
I think fucking rules.
So whatever.
And, you know, we got a here we go again ending here where, where, which again, like, Billy at some point is to be like, you know what, Al, I'm really sorry for that position I put you in.
That makes me a world-class jerk, but he doesn't do that.
Absolutely zero apology here.
Thank you for pointing that out.
And he's just like, oh, all right.
Yeah, I guess I'm just going to keep hacking away at being a writer.
Oh, by the way, my parents have a boat house in August.
We're going to spend a week out there with them.
That'll be great.
and then like it's a playful like I will not do that Billy Campbell and they're dancing around
and it's like dude stop it with this guy either fuck him or get out of here yes absolutely by the way
because that's the end of the episode um she's yelling she's yelling about like what is their phone
number which is kind of funny um thick six six six six six evil actually you have to
summon or raven
I know you gotta go outside and make a bird claw
I got it down
oh Allison
Althud excuse me it's one
six six six evil
no but did you
did you guys notice this and maybe I just
wasn't looking right originally
but when Billy
so Billy walks into the courtyard
and the gag is
Sandy has left all of her boxes and stuff
downstairs
so he kind of
of like looks at the pile of
you know luggage and shit
it's kind of a funny moment and then
immediately upon entering
like he goes to the left
to his left and that's where Allison
is barbecuing and
I was like okay and then they go
into the apartment that's right there like
closest to them but
they must did they change
the location of their apartment because
weren't they at the
back of the complex
yeah probably I feel like that's
not something they keep good track of
is my guess. No, no, Alison, we're
sleeping with Jake tonight.
I feel like at a certain point
Jake was upstairs, but now he's downstairs
as well? No, Jake was always downstairs.
But it was just, yeah, I don't know. I'd have to look at it
again, but I was like, did they change where they
live just for the convenience
of this, like, weird barbecue exchange?
Hey, Allison, let's do a home invasion on Matt's
place.
Hey, Matt, do you have
any eggs?
no else
and put on this
this mask of a rabbit
your next Matt
ha ha ha ha ha
anyways
that's it
I will do our
classic are you excited
to continue
slash any parting shots
Christopher Cabin
who these people
fucking suck
so yeah
I can't wait
this was like the one
where I was like
I hate everybody so much
it was definitely
hard for me to get through
this. I had to pause like every 15 minutes because I was just getting pissed off at everybody
the whole time. But yeah, I can't wait to come back. Let's go, baby. Eric, let's go. I mean,
I think Chris said it all. Like, I actually did pause a few times during this. I was excited for
Maliki Throne, but I feel like the payoff wasn't really there as much. And we're in Palm Springs
and we're so confined to this shitty condo. Like, I wanted to see him more. Show me more of this
wondrous California I hear of
so I'm excited to
continue and see what happens next year
what the fuck
Andrew Chuteman
yeah man like I say
every week I am down to continue this shit
I will say two things about
next week's episode of the place
one
there is like kind of crazy
shit that happens
so look forward to that but also for Chris
Cabin
that's season six
Uh, yeah, we didn't get the world was just, yeah.
Half bear, half wolves.
For Chris Cabin personally, though, there is a great, uh, little bit of personal
trivia for you about something involved in the Allison storyline.
Hmm. I'm excited about this.
Uh, there you go. Yeah. I'm always enjoying the show. Uh, it's kind of amazing just to watch
Sandy deteriorate. Like, it's just like, they're just, like, you just imagine Amy Locaine coming in, like,
doing that southern accent.
And they're like, hey, Amy, could you not?
Just, yeah, we're just going to say no.
It's like, well, won't that not make sense?
What's my?
We're not going to worry about it.
It's just, yeah, it's fine.
No one's really watching yet.
It's okay.
It'd be funny if towards the end of this season or whenever she leaves it,
like the last couple episodes,
she's like fading like the picture and back to the future.
Like just in the show, like transparent looking.
That would be pretty great.
Why is it Amy Locaine slash guest star on my dressing room wall, child?
My locks don't work no more.
Yeah, so that's that.
I mean, it's fun.
We're having a blast here all the time in the We Hate Movies feed on the live,
on the main feed, and the Patreon feed this month.

And then I think the fifth,
there's like this Swedish
adventure movie director
that comes in. That sounds like a can't miss.
