There you go. Yes. Steve is an extra from Forget Paris. You know, that's the same thing. No, I was going to say I'm an extra from Jason takes Manhattan. Hello, let's go next. Oh, no, Jason came here by boat, which is impossible. Ah! He should have definitely went to the garden, dude, cause some fucking mayhem just like our good friend Godzilla. Oh, then there'd be Jason eggs at the end of that.

Oh, man. He laid eggs. Oh, God. So, yeah, this is the spectacular edition of the mailbag, and we're going to read some letters to you here. But we did want to get some news out of the way. Steve, if you want to take it with the latest tour update,

this is news from the road. Yeah, due to circumstances way beyond our control, and this is happening far too much on this tour, but I think it's the last time it's going to happen. We are changing venues for our Nashville show. coming up on November the 21st. We're actually, it's, the venues, the venue is changing.

The city is staying the same. The date is staying the same. The movie is staying the same. We're just kind of going across the street to the Nashville city winery on November the 21st to talk about footloose, FYI, unfortunately, Zany's folks who bought tickets, they have, you have to get refunds for your tickets. It's very easy to do, so I hear. But then you have to go and buy new tickets at the city winery.

so it's all the same it's going to be great the touring world is insane right now hopefully this never happens again but here we apologize for the inconvenience and the best thing is I'm glad that we got to keep the date and we got to keep it in Nashville

because that means our good buddy Philippe Sabrero's poster is not rendered useless so Felipe's fucking awesome poster still remains accurate and not a weird fucking collector's item with wrong

info on it. But that's awesome too. We're also selling those on tour cash only folks. We bring cash with you. Just to go through what our, the last couple of stops are, because we already did three, which were super fun, and thank you for coming out. Absolutely. We should say, we had a fucking great time last week. Oh, yeah.

We really did. I love it. On November the 18th, we're going to be in the comedy zone in Charlotte, North Carolina, talking about under siege, talking to the captain. That's right.

On November the 19th, we are going to the Orange Peel in Asheville, North Carolina, talking about Junior. That's right. Oh, Danny, you didn't pull out. I asked you kindly to pull out and you forgot. As if it's a mystery, it will be our most gross show for sure. I can't imagine. We're not going to be welcome back in that city.

Asheville's going to be a one and done. They're going to fucking chase us out with pitch for it. I'm not saying which had them, but a lot of these shows have family strewn about them. Thankfully, the Asheville show has no family at all. So it's going to be really something. On November 21st,

as I already said, we are going to Nashville, Tennessee to talk about footloose at the city winery. I may be dancing. You have to dance. I might be trying to get loose footloose. You'll hop up on red wine, dude.

you're going to love it. Yes, that's exactly what I'm trying to do. That's absolutely right. And then we're finishing our tour and finishing the year at the Bell House of Brooklyn, New York, which is our favorite place in the world, talking about the 10-year anniversary show just one year later. It's Chud. Chud. Chud.

Chud. Chud. Chud. Chud. As you know, Charlton Heston urinary disease, as you know, as you know, it's a famous Chud. Hey, someone's asking this in the chat. Is this true? Oh, ew.

Oh, no. Oh, no. What a bummer. Yeah. Kick her out, Nashville. I went to that movie show. They thought that was so funny. They were talking about this.

They were talking about that. They were talking about footloose. The remake is clearly the superior film. Of course, everybody knows that. Everybody knows that. I'm a genius. Eh. That's him fucking.

That's what it sounds like when he's fucking. And his wife's in the other room fucking nailing somebody else. I love how that dude is so, like, unwittingly cucking himself at every turn in his existence. It's very sad. But from the voice you're making,

I'm thinking he could do the new micro machines commercial if they're ever coming back though. Micro machines? They never left. Oh, they're still around? I wasn't aware of this. Oh, they're still around.

Are they being micro machines? They're not marketing on television anymore. When we were children, yes. You used to have the micromachine man. Yes, who would do the very quick voice. Ben Shapiro would be right he can even drive one of those things

I've got the new millennial micro machine man fake so Teddy asked will the 10th anniversary show be recorded and posted anywhere as with all live shows maybe

we hope so is the idea it's a gamble it's really a gamble there were some fuck-ups I think we're releasing everything from the last tour but I think the first leg there were some bungles and fuck-ups and we do not control any of it

definitely some fireworks that fucking boomer fucking sound guy in Detroit though you can keep that guy oh yes I will be keeping him soon I think that guy heard some of our material and fucking stage to walk out

let's just put it that way the second we started making all the cop jokes if you know what I mean convention aside every venue was fantastic and we were very nice playing all the cities. Oh, yeah. So we do have some letters here.

I think we should maybe get to one or two of them bad boys. Chris Cabin, as the fucking, the letter master as always here, any recommendations as to who should read what? Wild card. Anyway, anybody can take anything. Steve, I would say you should read the first one because I just think, I mean, can I just say

I cannot stop looking at you? I mean, this is the combo. of the fucking carpenter t-shirt and the Knicks hat. You're fucking styling tonight dude and I'm all about it. You read that first one. Well, my wife was like, you're wearing a hat in your own house. I'm like, I'm going on stage. Andrew does it all the time.

Eric's wearing a fucking featureless face mask. That's like this on. Okay, so the ticket taker who knew too much. How do we hate movies? Your recent episode on Stay Alive is a good excuse to share my story on getting absolutely roasted for buying a ticket

to a movie despite the fact that I've never actually seen it question mark I don't know what that means I just did the Tim Allen drawl by accident there I literally just went back in 2006 I was a very horned up teen with a girlfriend

and like you do I wanted to escape the parents and get some makeout time so to the cinemas where we went yeah we decided why not pick at least a good movie to occasionally watch when he came up for air and we so we chose

Inside Man being underaged and our theater being insanely strict on carting people buying R-rated tickets. We decided to buy our tickets to stay alive and then sneak in to Inside Man.

I would just stick with Stay Alive like it's you you just want to make out you're just trying to get to some sort of a base. You don't Spike Lee's masterpiece going on your mouth. Totally. like have like have some appreciation for that movie man like experience that thing inside man's longer so you have more time to make out that's a good point oh didn't think of it that way well because you'd be like but the problem with that or you'd be making out oh yeah wait did you say talk about the holocaust what what am i think this is a bank robbery movie wait oh wait a minute did they just say he has Nazi gold oh that's you know i kind of don't feel like kissing what willam defoe Willem Defoe.

Dude, that's a great call. You cannot make out and, you know, stay horned up with the voice of Will of Defoe in your ear. Avenge me. Keep making it out. Avenge me. Say. I would prematurely ejaculate.

Yeah. Your tongues are looking good in there. Yeah. Wow. You're doing great. I mean, I think that was the problem, you know, in Greg Crenier's problem in auto focus. He's like, could you not look at me, Willem Defoe?

I'm trying to get something going here. We buy our tickets and we get to the ticket taker who takes one look at our tickets, gives a big heavy sigh and says, oh God, don't see Stay Alive. That movie is terrible. Dude, can we stop with the editorializing? Thanks for nothing, Roger Ebert. Can I fucking, can you just tear the ticket, please? Tear my ticket, Jean Shalett.

Am I allowed into your palace, you piece of shit? Remember, this is the ticket taker who's, sole job is just tell you where to go. Yet now he's become the movie judge and I've been found guilty of paying for stay alive. If you die in the game, you die for real movie. You seem truly disappointed in me

a complete stranger. I mean, I get disappointed in strangers all the time, but I'm not meddling like this. Exactly. It's not your business. Now, of course, any reasonable adult would say, hey man, that's another your business. Just tell me where the theater is. But I was an awkward teen

in a budding citophile. And I felt stupid Ben. Sinephal. Budding. Oh. Is Defoe showing up in the Spider-Man movie? What do we think?

I'm going to go, no. Two scenes. You think so? Maybe like bright at, like it might even be the stinger. But I think you're going to get at least one. One or two. You'd beheaded Dane Dahan.

I'm the Green Goblin. Well, now, Dane Dahan in the Amazing Spider-Man, I know we did episodes on that. He played Norman, the son, Osborne. Yes, which was not Norman. That's Harry Osborne. Norman is Norman. Norman's the dead. Forgive me.

Oh, Chris Cooper. Yeah, yeah. Chris Cooper, you will fucking forget that in those movies, by the way. Well, he's barely on his deathbed the whole time. Anyways, I see that Spider-Verse trailer, or far from home trailer in front of every movie I see, and it gets worse every time I see it. I haven't even seen it in front of anything yet, dude. I only watched it on YouTube.

It just, I can't. I don't know. I just, that's where I'm at. We'll see. I'm sorry. Now I feel stupid. I think it looks like. You shouldn't feel stupid.

You can enjoy what you like. I'm not some ticket taker telling belittling you for seeing stay alive. I'm sorry, Roger Ebert. Maybe this guy wants to go see a movie. He should just go see a movie. And I'm sure many people in the comments are disagreeing with me and they should. Hey man, it's out of your business. Just tell me, blah, blah, blah, blah.

But, uh, but, but, but, was an awkward teen and budding sinophile. I feel stupidly anxious and end up blurning up the entire plan is to sneak into inside man. My girlfriend absolutely mortified at me. However, this guy just doubles down with, yeah, okay, enjoy your awful movie,

I guess. Wow, what a piece of shit. Is that guy trying to get fired maybe? So I guess he thought, uh, I came up with the entire plan as a ruse to make him think I had better taste and see a Frankie Munis horror movie.

no no the nice part of the story is that while he well me and my girlfriend who were those asses I saw girlfriend that asshole I was like what where is this yeah wait well this took a turn what is this my search history the nice part of the story is well me and my girlfriend were those asshole teens making out yes making out asshole uh in the back of the theater could have been during inside man the movie ended up being so goddamn great that we even stopped the freight train

to second place, face 15 minutes in, and just enjoyed a damn fine movie. Good for you, folks. You made out during Inside Man. You know, he stole Nazi gold. Damn fine movie. Thankfully, the ticket taker was gone when we left, but I still sometimes feel his ghostly presence when I buy a ticket for absolute trash. So now and y'all are theater lovers, and some of you even worked in a multiple place as well. have you ever been heckled or heckled someone else

for their movie choices at a theater and a bonus question since you covered both films which is the most embarrassing film to buy a ticket to sneak into Inside Man's Stay Alive or the other choice we had was Larry the Cable Guy Health Inspector Thanks for 10 plus years of

incredible stuff Benjamin And is he from somewhere Benjamin is in Houston Texas There we go Well thank you Benjamin Thank you Ben wait so wait so what is worse sneaking into inside man

and buying a ticket to stay alive to do it or just going to see Larry the cable I think because health inspector was also PG 13 so that was either like I could either buy a ticket to stay alive oh I see or Larry the cable guy and inside man by the way I would say stay alive

just because I don't know like those people need that money oh no not at all I I would definitely buy a ticket to stay alive 100 times then pay money on Larry the cable. Here's the thing. Here's the counterpoint. Here's the point in favor of Larry, the cable guy. He's seeing this in Texas.

So it wouldn't be really weird. Like, the guy might not have gave him shit. Oh, he might have gone to hell yeah, brother. He might have gotten a tick-a-taker like, hell yeah, brother. Support our guy, Larry. Well, I just can't believe actually that like the person here has spilled the beans about the

whole plan to the usher. And then the usher just let them pull it off. Well, I mean, you know, he's probably not. I mean, he's clearly just, I don't even know, a huge, I mean, I never did that, but I never fucking talk shit. Like, oh, though garbage. I never did that. I was asked at least, like, I never said it outright, but like, there were definitely a couple couples where the guys like, so you've seen all the movies they're playing here, right? I'm like, no, well, tell me, how's this one doing, huh?

Is it good? Come on. You've seen it, right? It's good, right? and I'm like, yeah, maybe. Like I saw, I don't know. I don't know. The one you're seeing, I would never see, sir.

I don't know. I don't know how RV is. Yeah, I mean, I kind of would just, I would lie. I would say like, oh, people have coming out and really enjoyed it, you know, and just lying to people to get them to buy a ticket, I guess. I don't know. All right. Who wants to take the next one?

Eric. Sure. Okay. Can everyone, everyone can hear me, right? This sounds okay. Yes. All right. Remember to pick up groceries and Robocop 3.

Okay. Dear W.H.M. Gang, I look forward to hearing your episode on Robocop 3 if it is eventually released down the way. Fingers crossed on that one. Fingers crossed on that one. And that's a good moment to say, we are going on tour still. You never know what can happen. It might be a one night only experience.

That's right. November 18th will be a. the comedy zone in Charlotte, North Carolina, talking about Under Siege. And I really wish this mask had nose holes, I'm realizing. Are you going to pass out on the air? Wouldn't that be good content? Yes.

If you just face-planet on your own desk. Yeah. Do you want to do the rest of the tour? No, no. Okay. Okay. On November 19th, we'll be the Orange Peel and Asheville, North Carolina. Talking about Junior.

That's the one where Danny DeVito comes inside. Arnold Schwarzenegger. November 21st at the city winery in Nashville, Tennessee, very important venue change. If you were just joining us from watching, I don't know, whatever jerk off videos on here,

we'll be at the city winery in Nashville, Tennessee. Instead of Zanis, you have to re-buy tickets. It is what it is, folks. Get those tickets now. And then, of course, December 9th at the Bell House in Brooklyn, New York, 10-year anniversary show, one-year

laid on tread. It's going to be monumental. And the tickets are flying for that one. Absolutely. I just put that way. Yeah, I think that's. Take off your pants, Eric. I'm not wearing any. Yeah. Yeah.

Whoa. We got a real Harrison Ford in Sean Connery situation here. Totally. You're done. We're doing this sheen. You know what? We're not going to wear a patch. When I was nine years old, I would go to our local grocery store back in the early 90s when grocery stores, at least in my area, had a couple shelves of VHS tapes

that they could, that they would have for rent. And I would rent Robocop 3 every single Friday after school. Wow. Somebody should have stopped that. I mean, having just had to watch Robocop three times in a week, Robocop three, three times in a week, you made a mistake. Yeah, that's huge. And you're just like wasting your,

parents' money at this point. Mike, I guess like what? I mean, well, RV wasn't out at the time. I'm thinking of RV. What was that? We're on Robocop 3. Barton Fink. You could have gotten Barton Fink, I guess. It's the early 90s. There's plenty to watch. I guess it's true.

My mom's friend slash weed connection was the countergirl and knew me and would let me rent any of the R-rated movies I wanted because my mom said it was okay and because Because I came from a Christian family, meaning that violence and profanity were okay, but absolutely no boobs. Absolutely no boobs.

Here you go, honey. Here's a seven for you. Take it home. So that's Christian values right there. I want to write that down. Profanity and violence are okay, but sexuality is bad. Yeah, that's actually what the last episode of Midnight Mass is all about. no don't spoil it I got too left I'm not I'm not doing nothing for you

now I'm a grown ass man I don't know I skip the line oh this is the most important and insane line of the email I must have rented that movie at least 36 times if not wow the authority should have brought in that's that's bringing the authorities at that that's every week for the better part of a year I'm probably watching Robocop 3 I probably rented dust till dawn

at least 10-ish times but everybody knew it was up. It was like, oh, you're like action. And it's all my hair. Got it. Those are pretty big numbers. 10 times are those are big numbers. Oh, it's huge.

I've just didn't be so, and I rented it so many times. And the thought never came across your mind to just buy it? You know, I don't know. A little rich boy by VHS tapes. Exactly. like $5 a pop I can handle $20 something bucks, no way.

No, it doesn't care. Now I'm a grown-ass man and wouldn't touch that movie if you paid me. Thank you for your service. However, I still in love and cherish

the first two movies and I watch them whenever we're going to find the eye hole here. And what? She said, dude. Oh yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm talking about the brown eye

I'm a girl Van Morrison it's about asses I wouldn't watch a movie pay me thank you for your service however I still love and cherish the first two movies

I've read that already and I am whenever I'm feeling down did you guys have grocery stores that rented tapes or was that just a California thing and were there any tapes any of you rented an obscene amount of times, I guess we already got to some of that, like I did with

Robicop Thie. Thank you, Mr. G. P.S., I am an English teacher from California, and want to inform you that a lot of us do, in fact, smoke, consume, shit ton of the 420 blaze it to survive this stressful job. It was way more common than you might think, and just the obvious hippie-dippy teachers that do it. Of course. I can imagine that. I've absolutely no idea what that's in reference to. I was expecting a 902 and O something, you know, talking about California to us,

but kind of went nowhere there, Chris. To answer the question, at least in our town, we definitely had grocery stores that had tape sections. Oh, wow. 100%. And that was actually, we had those before like big chains moved,

like moved in closer to where, I live. So we would go to the grocery store video section. Like it was the groceries at the price chopper it was called. And they had actually a pretty substantial VHS section there. Yeah, we had like three different ones. There was a ton of mom and pop little video stores that

did when the chains came in were crushed under the mill, the wheel of it. But they did exist, but they weren't ever like they were their own entity. It was just like tiny little popcorn video and family video, not family video, but like we never had, we never had gross

store VHS where I was. They had many shelves. I don't know if this, it wasn't like at the Grand Union, but I had Price Choppers. They had like shelves upon shelves of different movies. It was actually a pretty substantial section to rent videos

for like being inside a supermarket. Like a suburbs supermarket though. So like they're way bigger than city supermarkets. Was that the only pervert rent in a movie over eight or ten times? I'm trying to think. the thing is I had

I had like every cable channel so it was like I would watch a movie nine or ten times but just because they played it all the time yeah right I think I definitely on vacation it was a particularly rainy week wherever we were and I just

I kept on renting heavyweights because I just I felt such connection to that movie I was like you wanted to see fellow destroyed fat kid summers yes I was like that should be me. That should be me out in the fields

eating chocolate and marshmals and probably throwing up and shitting everywhere. But they don't show that part. But yeah, I think heavywits, that would have been at least like maybe like seven, eight times. I don't know.

I'm sure I did. I'm sure I had some. But we were tape buyers, though. We had a lot of shit on tape to rewatch. We did the big hall from the Columbia house. There it is. It's over with. It had to end.

I know, it just sounded like you couldn't stand it. I really wanted to keep it going. But it didn't work. Was it becoming hard to breathe in there? Yeah. Okay. I'm sorry, Eric. Is it hard to breathe in there where you're in my house?

A fucking mask you're wearing? Whoa, dude. Why don't we all take our masks off? The truth. Oh, shit. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. All right. Let's see.

I'll take this next one. Okay. More like Chevy chafe, I believe. Yeah, that's gross, right? Hello, guys. Hope all is well during these trying times. Eh, I thought I'd write in with a story. Inspired by Chris's threat of making Steve watch nothing but trouble if he wins the VHS trailer game,

which we are all rooting for Chris this season. Are we all rooting for Chris? Are we all doing it? I'm not. Well, two of us are, and Chris is rooting for himself. Yes. Or am I? My parents are El Salvadorian immigrants, and North American humor was lost on them a lot, especially my dad.

He detested all old SNL guys who were all over movies in the 80s. You're Bill Murray's, Dan Aykroyd's, Belize, et cetera. But the one he disliked the most was Chevy Chase. Well, that's pretty understandable. Every time. every time he'd see him on TV or watch a movie that had him in it, my dad would rant in Spanish

about how Chevy wasn't funny and didn't get why he was famous. As the 90s rolled on, Chevy was in less and less stuff and no longer the star he once was. So my dad no longer had a reason to be annoyed by him. Just imagine this kid having to hide episodes of community

from this just to make sure that he never just shot off one. Flash to 2015. Me and my family are in the theater to watch Mad Max Fury Road. My dad is excited to see one of his favorite franchises. When the trailers start playing, the first was vacation. Dad was not responding to any of the jokes on screen when all of a sudden a bespectacled balding face shows up on screen. It's Chevy Chase. Suddenly, my dad is sent back in time

and all that pent-up disdain comes back to the surface. He starts shaking his head and complaining. Who let him back in movies? He was never funny. I mean, just imagine his guy being like behind you and just like you're in the middle of watching the god-awful vacation remake trailer.

And you're just zoning out the whole time. And then you just hear from the back road, Who let him back in it? You know what? I'll tell you right now, Chris, I would start fucking filming it just in case something went nuts. Yeah.

That would be great. He's already going nuts. This guy's yelling at the theater and on Chimmy Chase. I mean, I guess that's fair. He spent the rest of the trailer just shaking his head, wondering why anyone would hire him

to be in a movie. Especially now that... Do you know why they let him back in? Do you know who that is? I'm imagining this guy had like a super cut of three amigos that just cut Chevy Chase out. It's just Steve Martin and

Martin Short talking to each other. oh man i could buy it or he's just like chevy's just like blurred out the voice is replaced yeah you want to get the story so yeah you just have to keep him in there right yeah but i don't know other amigos what are we gonna do next they just keep on putting in like scenes of john candy in a sombrero from other movies i think he wears one in summer rental briefly i do yeah i think that i've been yeah well that's a question you go oh i was just i was just going to say i've been meaning to go back to Three Amigos. I haven't seen that in so

fucking long. But one thing that stands out is, I think Phil Hartman plays one of the, like, studio heads. Maybe. Yeah. I think. It's been a line that's, take the Amigos clothes. Oh, because they own

everything. Yes. I have not yet. I mean, that, I think for a small time in my life, that was my favorite movie. Like, back when you're just like, you're a little baby kid, like, that's my favorite movie. And you didn't really know anything about it. like oh three megos was yeah it had funny guys and hats so you're like that's got to be my favorite movie and i i could not tell you one thing that happens in that movie it's been so long

so they do like the choreograph like pelvic thrust gag which they which they brought back on i think it was that like SNL 40th or something oh really yeah yeah they dragged that back out of the closet uh well question did this guy have a problem with SCTV guys or just saying it live guys Oh, well, it seems to be specifically a Chevy Chase. Is he spitting on Eugene Levy or what? No, maybe it's a groundlings problem. Okay.

I could see that. I understand that. I do. I understand that. Okay. Wondering why anyone who hired to be in a movie, especially now that he was old, bald, and fat. Just this guy screaming in the theater.

Dude, I've loved it. I had never seen him just go off. like that in the theater. My siblings and I still laugh about it whenever we bring it up. My question to you guys, did any of your dads have an open disdain for a movie star of your childhood? Cheers, Stephen from Vancouver. Thank you, Stephen. My dad, I can tell you right, especially with the amount of times that we watched

his movies, my dad, not a huge Jim Carrey fan, if you can believe it. What's with all that moving? What's with all that, the elbow? like that. I think I'm like more than one occasion. I've heard my dad refer to Jim Carrey as a jackass. Oh, okay. Who's that? Who's that jackass? Yeah, and it's like, you know, it's Jim Carrey. He's the biggest star in the world in 1994.

I remember my dad very openly. The, who's, okay, it's amazing that my brain is so fucked up. I can't remember the guy's name. The guy who fuck the pie. It's not that amazing. Yeah, I mean, the pipe is constantly in your hand. Jason Biggs. Jason Biggs. Thank you. Jason,

I remember watching American Pie with my father. And that scene happens. And he just comes over to my ears like, that kid's disgusting. Like not during the pie fucking scene? No, during the pie fucking scenes. But it wasn't like, this is, this is disgusting. Chris, Chris. This kid is disgusting.

It's your father telling you not to fuck pies. Yeah. I mean, well, you better not get into this. Food fucking. If that was my son, I'd kick him out. Just saying. Just remember how that goes. Okay.

My dad is very close to Tommy Lee Jones. Yeah. Yeah, I don't remember either of my parents, like, really having a disdain for an actor. Eric, you got anything? No, I mean, I think I'm in this same boat. Maybe all of them? Oh, also my dad, not a Michael Moore fan. if you can believe.

Well, we have a different different situation altogether. You don't bowl for Columbine's son. Why do they let him back in the movies? Michael Moore, why didn't they let it? He's just going to bother Charlton Heston now? Okay.

Okay. I wouldn't bother Charlton. Yeah. Yeah. Mr. Heston. Mr. Heston. Someone says, so it says my mom just fucking hates Matt Damon for some reason. I could see that. I thought she fucked Matt Damon. Well, that's what it says. That's what

they wrote. Oh, my God. They clarify. That's hilarious. Right now. Yeah. All right. I think Chris Cabin, is this the final one? This is the final one. Oh, my God. I got to get the, I'll get the AV material ready. Well, Eric, you gave a tour update. Exactly. So, folks, we're no longer

at Zanies in Nashville. We'll be at the city winery on November 21st. You're going to have to re-get tickets. It's going to be a very great show. Footloose. Chris has promised to dance. I will be dancing. Maybe even sing a little tune for you. I'll try. The night before, not the night before, two nights before we'll be at November. We'll be at the Orange Peel on November 19th at Asheville, North Carolina, doing junior. Folks, watching this live, now you see what the live experience is. Sometimes we edit something out. November 18th, we'll be at the Comedy Zone in Charlotte, North Carolina,

talking about Under Siege. And of course, in December, the 9th of December, we'll be at the Bell House in Brooklyn doing the one, the 10-year anniversary show, one year late on Chud, that fucking mask cut off oxygen to my brain. I think I'm catching up still. You're getting there, dude.

No, yeah, we're really, we're so excited for all these. We had a ton of fun at the meet and greets. Really cool stuff. I will, do I have it? Yeah. Oh, do you got it?

Got it? You got it? No, some very nice man made me and everybody else. Oh, yes. Oh, yeah. Oh, I got it. A cool thing and gave it to us. Here's a signature. Mine's right there. Mine's right over here, but I'm not wearing pants. Oh, yeah. You can't do that. But, yeah, so, I mean, people give us stuff. They say, hello. It's really, we really enjoy the meeting meets. We really enjoy meeting people. We really enjoy playing for people. That's right. Oh, but BTW, you got to be vaccinated. Got to be vaccinated. Not fucking around with that.

Please do. And you know what? I'm just going to say it if you happen to see the green room door open and any of these and any of these shows, just don't sneak in and come on in after the show and kind of refuse to leave. I would just say, don't do that. Now you're giving my ideas, Steve. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Who left that gate open? Lock the gate is what I should have yelled at somebody.

Yes. That's true. That was really an asshole thing to do. Okay. So we got one more letter here, Chris Cabin. Can you still read this evening? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Lightning outside my window. That's exciting. Oh, I just saw that too here. It's supposed to be a big rain event here in the Northeast. Spooky. A big rain event. The rain event of the winter. Mike the Barback.

Hey, gang, longtime listener, first time mailbagger. I was listening to your patrons-only episode on a American Werewolf in London. Great episode, by the way. Absolutely. And the conversation turned to local New York bars, using intellectual properties for movies

and television to try and make up for the fact, the vibe fucking sucks. Only to somehow make things worse. Two bars in my hometown of Glasgow. Oh, Scotland. The first one is called Loboskies.

Oh, man. That stinks. Other than incredibly subtle bowling motif and regular specials on white Russians, it's your standard Scottish bar and it's quite beloved. The problems, however, started when they tried to expand the Lubowski's brand across the city of Glasgow and into the nation's capital of Edinburgh. Oh, needless mistake. Never go to Edinburgh. They don't want this shit. Needless to say, Scotland could only handle one Loboskies and the additional locations have

since shuddered. So you're a Labowski. I'm a Labowski. There's only one Labowski. Exactly. We got the wrong Lobowski you'd go in. Yeah. I think the bathroom at Lubowski

should be the rug in the center of the fucking restaurant. Yeah. I mean, if you are the bank employee when somebody who owns establishment Labowski comes in, it's like, listen, we need to close one of our locations.

We want to reallocate that loan you gave us. You would have to say, look at him and say, the bums lost Labowski, the bums lost. Why don't you try getting a job, sir? You'd have to say it. You don't go out looking for work like that. Do you, on a weekday?

Great movie, awful fans. Not even awful fans, but the fan culture you see. It's a lot. It's a lot. It's a great, capital G, great movie. That happens all really good movies, right? Star Wars fans suck. Ghostbusters fans suck

They all suck Our fans rule though I will say Especially when they stormed the gates No The second offending bar Was your standard old man's Pub in the west end of the city

A stone throw away from Lubowski's It's a type of place that you'd walk in and all the 6 year old men sat at the bar Would turn around to look to see If it's another regular that's walked in or with some outsider that would dare to step foot into their private

little club. Are they a Greek soccer club by any chance? Yeah, totally. Been there. This is close for a private party. Yes, we do things. This is club. Club. Yes, we're a private poker game. Leave us. No mafia only club.

Yes, we definitely need guns in club. Just leave it. The location has had many owners over the years, changing its name five or six times in my 30 years on this earth, but the most egregious of the name changes came about a year after Breaking Bad ended

when the pub in question rebranded to Heisenbergs. That's awful. Complete with paintings of Walter White on the wall and blue cocktails. No, this is that. Oh, my God. Wait, is this the original Loboskis? Yes. This would be fun for like

one night. Like, A whole night? Are you kidding? Maybe a pop-up. Just get in. Get a drink and get the fuck out of there. Yeah. To visit Draper's.

It was absolutely it was absolutely tore apart on social media for being fucking awful and closed for a complete rebrand. Back to a generic pub in less than a month. At that point. Well done, Scottish people.

At that point. They stood up and said no. After Heisenbergs is in your town, wouldn't you just want to demolish that area and not have anybody like leave the rubble where it is. Just be like nothing can be here, nothing can grow here. Obviously this was a mistake.

I have attached photos of the Google Andrew, you want to throw a couple of, ooh. So first of all, that sign sucks. Yeah, you could tell it's written by someone in the southwest, right? That's what they're trying to emulate.

Why is why are we using the sims? it's fun. Yeah, right? Oh, yeah. Okay, so here's this. Also terrible. Classic Heisenberg. That's how he signs his checks.

Get Jody. Who's got the out of degree. Go get Jody to do it. You know what? How about start a fucking bar and a car wash and call it Heisenberg? That makes a way. That's a little bit of a concept thing. That sucks shit.

Oh, boy. Oh, that sucks. Look at that. Not good. I think there's one more. Oh, all right. I would order the crystal blue. I would order the crystal blue too.

So four crystal blues for the table, please. You'd have to, right? But if you're going for the old man contention, wouldn't you like call it something like bunkers or? It's like Archie bunkers? Yeah, like Archie Bunker. I'm the one who says slurs. I mean, I don't know that Archie Bunker crossed over there.

Yeah, I'm trying to think of. like what faulty towers what's the british equivalent of archie bunker margaret thatcher i'm sure what was basil faulty up to huh before i go i have to ask if uh before i go i have to ask if before i go i have to ask if you all had to open an ill-fated bar named after a movie or television show title or character what would it be uh thanks for years of laughs William I'd open a bar called

Norms would be a Norm Peterson themed bar very low key I like that one I would open up it's not in the true ending of the comic book Kingdom Come and here we go let me just suggest

but it's a special edition oh got it it's a big trade paperback there is a really cool at the end Batman and Superman. Wonder Woman go to a superhero themed restaurant, which I cannot. It's like a planet in Hollywood, but

for DC superheroes. Oh, yeah. So hard. And I can't, someone in the chat should shout it out if you know what it is, but it's so awesome. And like everyone's, the waiters are dressed like it. And I was like, I always kind of wanted to go there. And I don't remember what it was called. Oh, wow. I think I'd have to go with

Coops. Oh, yeah. Oh, like the Black Lodge. Oh, I like that. That's a great. idea. I see in the letter this person actually went on to his side. If Eric decided to call his bar Zeprooters, I didn't want to take your, I didn't want to take your obvious title.

He owes me a white Russian. I mean, I mean, I guess I would just, I guess that's my generic answer for every movie question. So I guess I would say that. Yes. I think, I thought that would be your. I'm trying to figure out how this character's written again. So that I guess, yeah.

Yes. And, uh, yeah, there it is. Philippe Sabrero got it. It's Planet Crypto. It rules. Great idea for a name. Yeah, me and Slide decided we want to expand the brand of Planet Restaurants. So Planet Crypton was something we invested in with all of the DC superheroes.

Oh, you know what because we didn't know. We didn't have the intellectual property. We would close down in minutes. I got one, by the way. McLeod's. Oh, yeah. Nice. Very nice. Perfect.

Fets. No, that wouldn't work. That would be kind of cool. Oh, you're getting to fucking shut down, Bionch. Scum and villainy in Los Angeles. That's what I would know. Yeah, that place is red.

That's a nice little place. That was it. That was the rest of the letters there. Maybe open up for some questions and Steve, you were so hot on doing this fall tour read that while the questions come in, maybe you can enlighten people

about where we're going soon. I can indeed. So we just had an amazing first half of the tour. And we have a little more than half left starting on November the 18th. We're going to be in Charlotte, Charlotte, North Carolina, where the Charlotte Hornets play, I believe, in doing Underseege, which I'm really excited about. On November the 19th, we'll be at the Orange Peel in Asheville, North Carolina, talking about the Junia. And then on November the 21st, we're at the city winery, not Zanis. please ask Danes for a refund

and send that money over to the city of winery and re-buy your tickets for footloose or just buy them outright because you haven't bought them yet. Footloose, 1984 is classic John Lithgow film. And then on December the 9th, we are doing, we are closing our tour, closing our year

at the Bell House in Brooklyn for the 10-year anniversary show one year later talking about Chud. Chud. one of my favorite New York movies and just absolutely stellar Daniel Stern stuff going on

Oh dude it's a master class Wonderful He's looking dirty and filthy I love it I gotta love Daniel Stern Well we'll have to We always hint it Chris We have to do bushwhack We're doing bushwhack

We gotta do it Yeah maybe they'll be like counter programming In the summer for you know Like a little school trip vibe there I do think it was a summer movie too I'm pretty sure Oh, cool. Let me look that up. Well, I guess we're done with the read. Are there any questions? No, I don't think so. No questions for me, but questions from folks. So let's see. We had a ton go-by here. August 4th, 1995, Chris Chappen. I don't know how your mind works, but I'm offended by it.

It's really bad. It's all bad up there. Eric, you've got to know that by now. someone asks any more online live shows not at the moment no probably not we're trying to do real live shows because there's more fun and we do and we get to do these anyway we'll do these all we can but we might never say never by the way never say yeah yeah never say never we might do that again one time

I mean or multiple times we'll see how it goes but if you live it near any of these dates come on out and we might be gearing up for something in 2022. So come on out. We might come into your town. There you go. We might be coming to your town.

Veronica asks, do you have thoughts on possible best and worst of 2021? I think there's a lot. Dune and Pig are kind of some of my favorite movies of the year so far. Pig, definitely. The Green Night I loved.

Yes. Great. There's a movie called the worst person in the world that's quite excellent. Red Rocket coming up from Sean Baker of the Florida project. Developed Underground Doc is just

tremendously good. Yeah, totally. What are some worst of? The Cinderella remake you were saying is hell on earth, right, Steve? It is just scored. I mean, that would have to be a commentary because there's just nothing to talk about, but I do want to hear

you folks, the rest of my good friends experience it. Maybe maybe that's the commentary dude is the three of us don't watch it do it and then we go to do this commentary and you just know everything that's coming. It's so cringy. Yeah I would be

that. That Infinite movie with Mark Wahlberg is definitely Hogwash. It's it's it's it doesn't exactly have a firm slot yet but it's pretty close. It's like the rest are in pencil that's in like darker pencil is infinite

I'm not sure if I would feel comfortable putting you through you three through dear Evan Hanson if you have a bunch of already it is it is something else man

it is really it will really change your whole mood if you haven't told me about any of this it's really something else it's very long and it's horrible and you'll you'll actually want to kill the person you're supposed to be rooting for

so that's always nice so this is worse stuff material potentially, right? I don't even know if I want to put, but yes, I would definitely put it on the pile. Okay. Curella. Oh, whatever.

Yeah, I did not like Curella. All right. Here's something someone asked. I mean, get into this a little bit. Any love for Halloween kills? Some of us liked it more than others. So I liked it more than, and now I gave it like two and a half or something on

that's pretty much exactly where I was as well. And I agree with all the problems that there are with it. But at the same time, I like how nihilistic it is and how no, you know, everyone that wants to do something doesn't get to. And I kind of like that. I like that angle. But yes, there's a lot of dumb shit in it. There's a lot of dumb shit in it for sure. I think that there's a lot of brutal kills, which I appreciate.

Yeah. The score is fantastic. It looks good. Yeah. Some good performances. some really not good performances so yeah and I'm you know what dude I'm just going to say it

Robert Longstreet he's now half a star dude fucking rules he's exactly one half of a star if he's in a movie you now put Robert Longstreet in your motion picture it is an instant extra half star I absolutely agree that he's fucking awesome

I just really had problems with the script like I'm sorry that Anthony Michael Hall thing is embarrassing it's that monologue with him at that fucking Halloween party it's embarrassing And every time they're fucking shouting, evil dies tonight, it's not funny. And like, I think people are arguing that it's like intentionally funny. I do not believe that.

No, absolutely not. I do not. Yeah, I don't think so. Sheriff Brackett, like, I love the guy. But dude, him being like, evil talk tonight. It's just like is the afterthought one. Even worse where he's just like, you know, everyone's in town. I'm going to scare.

Oh, dude. Yeah. That was a bigger problem for me, man. He farts at the camera. I hated that shit. Yeah, evil dust is stupid. And that whole, like, rallying the town is bad. I'm on the side of the fence where I think that's kind of intentional.

Like, it's about, you know, how towns get wrapped up. And I think that's totally fine. Yeah. But just the fact that, like, Lori Strode doesn't participate in any of that. Like, she is 97% of the reason I'm going to see that movie. So for me, because that's the reason I'm caring about it is Jamie Lee is back doing these movies, that's why it's like the biggest letdown to me. She has that terrible

scene at the end with what's his face Will Patton. Yes. And it's just like, oh, Lori, if we knew now, if we knew then what we know now, and they're like, oh, no, thank you. No, thank you, ladies and gentlemen. It's brutal. I do give it points for being very brutal. Yes. Yeah.

It is, it's a, like, there's 13 movies going on and I'm like, please just pick one. And I swear to God. Lenny Clark getting murdered in that movie is fucking Very funny. Very, very funny. Oh, but someone also bringing up Longstreet having a bang a year because of Midnight Mass. That's absolutely true. I love him

in that, too. If you're interested, he did it was like one of his first big roles in a movie by Josephine Decker called Thou Was Mild and Lovely. He's phenomenal in it. He's phenomenal in it. Oh, shit. Yeah, it's a really good movie. I totally forgot he's in that movie. Yeah. Someone asked where we saw Halloween, did we go to the theater? Do we see it on Peacock? I watched

it on Peacock. I went to the theater. I think that might have affected while I just it. It could have been. Absolutely. I can totally see it. Not going to the theater. You know, I think you should. I just I, Andrew was telling me how bad it was. So I was just like, let's get it out of the way. Because we were yeah. Me and my wife were gearing up for Dune and I wanted to do both in the same weekend. I knew that wasn't going to fly. Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot of like really good movies

getting the big screen now. So like it's like something like that. I was kind of like I'm fine with being home. Like I got to go see fucking Bergman Island the French dispatch and the card counter and all this other stuff. Yeah. I'll watch Howan kills at home. Yeah. Someone has a

what my criticism of Midnight Mass is. Midnight Mass aka everyone gets a monologue. indeed. It was not working for me. It's talkie. I love it, but it's talkie. I would have loved to say. Yeah, but this one more so felt like I would have loved it watching in a fucking theater. Like a stage, a theatrical production of that. The whole thing feels very theatrical

to me. And I have like a problem when like plays are adapted for the screen. So this is like, it was kind of making me feel that same way watching it. But overall, I think it's totally fantastic. Yeah, I kind of get the feeling with midnight mass i'm also i'm like right i have like one episode left uh but my my only major criticism is i kind of think it should have been a movie yeah i don't think i think they add way too much shit to it and it kind of dilutes what's really great about it i kind of i like the pace of it i kind of like you slow yeah i don't know i kind of agree with you steve i kind of

like settling into this fucking weird little uh town by the sea you know it felt very like stephen king to me in that regard he's playing like novely stuff it would have made it I do think I would also like to see it as a movie so maybe you might be right Chris I don't know you know what I mean like if it was a movie maybe it's better or if it's not I just enjoyed the length of this guy yeah

I see a lot of people saying that they're recommending seeing Dune in the theater I haven't done that yet definitely worth it I saw it with my wife in an ibeck not the real iMacs at lincoln center but like a fake imax that's just a very big screen yeah i saw it just a regular theater and it's still kind of blew me away i really loved it i don't want to oversell it though but i really liked it did i really love you guys i oh i'm sorry steve go no my one my one my really one big criticism with that movie and i really loved it and i'm

dune two let's do it folks uh sholomey's great everybody's fantastic hans zimmer's got to fucking hang it up dude i thought that score sucked shit. It's just I wanted themes for characters. You know what I mean? Like a big operatic score that lets you know that this is this and this is that. Not just what? I guess it kind of worked for me in the way that I kind of just stopped even noticing

it and I was just like sucked into it. But I kind of when we watch it now to pay more attention to that score. Well, I mean, no, I think Villeneuve, like him working with what's Johann Johansson for so long and him passing. He's still looking for someone who matches him that way. And Zimmer, like, he's just

doing the Zimmer thing, like this humongous fucking guitars. It's everywhere. It's so big as shit. Yeah, I get what you mean. Well, you know, can I say this really quickly? Please. Someone says thoughts on Lynch's Dune. I watched that for the first

time last night, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. It's fucking weird as hell. I need to go back. I haven't seen it since like, I guess right out of college or something and I just remember being kind of iffy on it. But now I've read half the book, so maybe I'll appreciate it.

Is he, did you watch it at the three hour or something or other or? No, it's like the Arrow 4K that they put out which I think is, I think it's just the theatrical cut. Lynch's name is on the director credit in the beginning. So, yeah, because there's a couple of versions

where there's the Smyth. on it, but the Arrow one at least has him doing that. I don't think there's any other extra cuts on the bonus disc. Is there supposedly like a three-hour thing? I saw somebody like, oh, I'm watching this three-hour. It seemed like a fan edit, though, so I

wasn't sure what was going on. Like putting this footage back together, like the most complete versions. Like sketches of designs in the middle for like five seconds in the middle of something. Like that bullshit Donner cut. Come and fight me, everybody. Just find me.

and fight me about the Donner. Okay, let's see. Find one more question here. Do you see Oscar Isaac's hog and Dune? You do not sadly. There's actually one part where he is naked and they're doing like an Austin Powersy thing where it's just like, you get to see a lot, but not it.

A little shimmer of butt cheek. Ooh. Not bad, dude. Okay, so actually I'll end with this one. When do we get the prowlermentary? The prowlermentary is being released this Thursday. So that's when you

could get it. Hell yeah. Just the time for Halloween, folks. That is right. That is of course exclusively on Patreon.com slash we hate movies. Okay, so that's going to do it, everybody. Thanks so much for tuning in. And again, remember, we got some dates coming up in a few weeks. WHMpodcast.com
