This week on the program, forget the Super Bowl.
This movie is the best thing to happen to Las Vegas.
It's Leprecon 3.
I'm Andrew Jupin.
Steven Siddick.
Eric Siska 3.
Chris Cabin.
Casino games, A. Janice.
Wow.
I'm Chelsea Rebecca.
That was a good one, James.
And we hate movies.
Hello, everyone, we hate movies, thank you for the program to the program as always.
a comedy show that takes a movie good, bad, or otherwise, and pokes fun at it for an
indiscriminate amount of time. And this week, we are so stoked to welcome back some of our
best buds in the whole dang world. We're talking with James A. Janice and Chelsea Rebecca
of Deadmeant. Hello, y'all. Hey. Yes, we're back. We're back, which means it's more
leprechaun. The strikes are over. Yes. We're no longer forbidden from talking about
leprechaun films. And that's really what we were pushing for with these strikes. Yes.
To be able to freely talk about the Lepricon franchise, you know.
Although if you were to ruin your life talking about Lepricon 3, that'd be pretty cool.
Like, you'd never work again.
Yeah, like that's how I chose to stab.
What a way to bottom out of the business.
Do your families have a flat rule that you're not allowed to bring it up at like functions or anything like that?
Yeah.
After like the third Thanksgiving of it, yeah.
Yeah, of course, yeah, I would be.
I would do that too.
I'm sorry to say, I would.
I like this movie's fine.
but yeah I would if there's going to be a long conversation I'm like you know what maybe I have to go to fake bathroom time to go to fake bathroom and we'll see how you're doing Chris Cabin you're going to real bathroom I can do that too but you know you gotta mix it up there can't just be doing real bathroom all the time yeah well you should just to be regular you should just stuff it up and go to fake bathroom Chris that sounds like something you would say is like a little kid like I just did real bathroom sometimes you want to sit in there and read shampoo bottles a little
Yeah, yeah, just say, hey, what's, what's going on in there?
Can I ask you a question really quickly about the leprechaun franchise?
Yes.
Does it, does the lore ever become consistent?
No.
Okay, all right.
Except, except leprechaun the hood and leprechaun back to the hood, pretty consistent between them.
Got it.
Same rules do two same geography.
Yeah, shows a fondness for weed in both of them.
These movies are like anagrams of each other.
They're just like, yeah, the stuff is there, but it's like everything is totally different.
Is he the same leprechaun?
Is he not the same lepricons?
That's all this exact discussion last night.
And I can't remember if we've talked about this at all on the last episodes we've done.
But yes, we're not sure if each movie is a different leprechaun or if it's all one continuity.
Because this medallion's out of nowhere.
No, right.
The medallion, I want to know how this little guy got encased in stone.
It appears like we could have a saw X in between these movies.
The Twix Lepricon 2 and 3.
Great idea.
You know who really wants to make a leprechaun movie is Daryland Bausman.
Yes.
On the Saw franchise.
Oh, my God.
Bring it up.
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah, I read that apparently this writer pitched this script without ever having seen the first two.
That's what you want to do.
So that's maybe why it's a little incongruent.
Just a little bit.
At least on Wikipedia, Warwick Davis is credited as Lubbdan, the leprechaun and all of these things.
Loubden?
Or Lubbden maybe?
Loubden.
Loubden.
Welcome to be Loubden.
L-U-B-D-A-N.
I don't believe that's ever said in any of the films.
But he is mentioned on fan wikis and such.
Novelizations, of course, would be bringing that up, I imagine.
That's where you really get the chance to expand the majesty of this lore.
You know, it's in the book adaptations.
Yeah.
I assume that's where we get more about
the biting becoming a really transmission
for the agent of lepreconism
Yes, like are leprechauns born or made?
We don't know. Or is it both?
Yeah, he does mention his mom in this one.
His mother comes up a lot this one.
I don't know, maybe it was her birthday or something.
I don't know.
From Killarney.
This movie was from 1995.
This was the first direct to video
of the franchise, and you would think
that that is heralding
like a quality slide.
I don't think so.
This is directed by Brian Trencherid Smith,
who also wound up doing Lepricon 4
in space, Night of Demage 2,
dead end driving.
Andrew, you were so right.
There is no quality slide here
from going direct to video since the first two
were so bad.
Yeah, yeah.
But you can't even notice the quality tip.
It's like finally a kid
with like a reading disorder gets into the right
remedial classic. This is right for you.
Directed video is correct
for you. And like, then he can excel.
Exactly. Yep. Yep.
The comedy really cranked up
here, which is what you need because it's
so silly. And you
are setting it in one of the silliest cities
in America. Lost Vegas.
So let's get stupid and they rightfully got
stupid. And it's pretty entertaining. It is
a brisk 90 minutes.
I was pretty happy watching it. I never
thought I'd be able to wait a whole hour.
until a good kill happened.
I was worried
I'd never get to do that in my life.
But here this movie allows me
to wait a whole hour
until a good kill happens.
Because, dude, Chris,
you have the welcome distraction
of Las Vegas.
The substance,
that's what it's happening here.
The welcome distraction of Las Vegas
where you never really see
Las Vegas at all.
Yes.
You know what?
You see Fremont Street.
Which is the,
it's like the old Vegas.
It's the part of Vegas
where all the casinos
have way lower ceilings.
because they're old, and they haven't updated
the air filtration, so they smell
like, sick.
So where all the crooners gambled?
Lower ceiling, so the leprechauner seeks that out.
Exactly.
He probably feels more secure.
And credit to this film, because
I recently covered Hostel 3,
which also takes place in Vegas.
Not a lick of it was filmed in Vegas.
Here, I don't think they had permits.
I think they literally pulled up,
war jumped out in his costume.
They, like, got the shot.
see people in the background
looking at him like, hey, look,
it's lepracombs. Yeah. It's the guy from my
favorite movie. Sorry, Steve, what?
James and Chelsea, are you, are you Vegas folks?
We love Vegas.
We were just there. We just went there
for our anniversary this year. Oh, that's nice.
Yeah, hit up the spear. We stayed at
the Luxor, which is briefly in the
opening of this, and that sphinx
looks so much cleaner that it does now.
That hotel would have been new in the height of luxury.
in the early 90s.
And now it's honestly kind of,
it's spooky.
It's supposed to be haunted.
Well, better blow it up.
There's so many, like Vegas
knows how to do building demolition.
That's like a great subgenre of YouTube videos
if you're ever looking for like a good rabbit hole
is buildings collapsing in Vegas
because they make a whole thing of it.
Yeah, buildings collapsing could finally be fun
on those YouTube videos versus the heroic reality of every,
You do want advanced notice
with those building collapses,
which I think is what Vegas is very famous for
as opposed to, you know, New York, it's usually a surprise.
Yeah, trembling infrastructure.
I think Vegas is where you also go to
bury your mistakes and make new ones.
And I mean, the way this movie begin,
like this is, I assume,
this is how the rights to the leprechaun franchise
are passed between people,
is you have a medallion
and a large statue of the leprechaun
and you bring it to a company
like, here, I need 20 bucks.
I need 20 bucks.
Take this. I have an eye patch from dealing with all of this.
And a hook hand. Was there a hook hand as well?
Is this a pirate as well? Yeah.
Is this a pirate ship? Yeah.
That's what I'm saying. The mystery behind how this guy acquired the lepricon in the concrete and the medallion, the fucking peg leg, the hook hand. That's a movie. You got a movie right there.
They really should.
At the very least, a comic book mini-series from a defunct comic book company that no longer exists.
Yep.
Fart horse comics.
If they don't tell you that that's the character that you're following throughout the movie,
and then in the end of the movie, you seem like lose his hand and his eye and his foot.
And you're like, oh, my God, it's that guy from Lebercombe three.
And like five people are like, oh, my God, it's the beginning of Lebercombe three.
It's just like when Vader gets on the 10th of 4.
It's just like that.
And just like Saw X, you can explore how actually, when you really think about it, the leprechaun's kind of a good guy.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, sure.
It means well, you know?
Yeah.
It's the middle of the night of the night, a pawn shop in Las Vegas gets a delivery of this weird guy with, yeah, it's basically like a chintzy what you would find at like one of those like really expensive chachkey stores of a leprecha.
And you're like, this is $600?
You know what I mean?
It's like between a law gnome and actual art somewhere.
Right.
It's $600 or 300 tokens from the ski ball machine.
Yeah, you could buy it on an airplane catalog.
I feel like he should be holding a tray with like baked grape.
Yeah, with wine bottles.
Yes, yeah.
Because I do think the in between that must have happened was Leprocon v. Ernest
Skirt's stupid troll.
Yes.
He would have created him.
and scared stupid troll clearly won
because he turned him into a wooden fucking statue
like all those stupid kids
so I think that must have been when we're missing
but anyway I mean we go
we meet Gupta who is the pawn
the owner of the pawn shop
played by Marcelo Tupere
an Argentinian actor so you better believe
this guy's playing an Indian fella
absolutely oh they're pitching it up by the voice
is quite something he's got the poo accent
absolutely it's fucking
what's his babu from Seinfeld
that guy's got like an English accent.
Yeah, absolutely.
A lot of very good sir, no sir, that kind of fun.
Yes, you will be showing me what is in the sack now.
Exactly.
Yeah, exactly.
And we get, so the leprechaun statue and everything and then this medallion
and the dude's like intrigued by the medallion and everything.
And the guy's like just trying to pawn it off and he wants money for you.
20 bucks.
I know you're trying to pawn off a haunted statue with the demon inside it.
You got to go a little higher than $20.
You drag this thing in off the street.
Who knows where you're coming from?
You don't want it to sound like a curse, you know?
Yeah. Oh, 20 bucks?
That's fine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I started 100.
Let them talk you down.
Yeah, at least like a buffet voucher.
Yeah, like 20 bucks and some vouchers would be nice.
Let me get some warm all you can eat shrimp out of this.
Give me some carrot top tickets at least.
Yes, carrot top VIP meet and greet tickets, which are available.
We were staying at the lug store, they, there were ads for that.
all over.
That is incredible.
I should go meet.
Yeah.
That ad say meat and greet available.
And I was like, yeah, obviously.
Did everybody see him at the Super Bowl?
No.
He looks like a pirate.
He looks like a pirate.
He looks like a pirate.
It's incredible.
He was like, who's that drunk guy eating garbage?
That guy looks like he had a rough night.
And it was just carrot top eating french fries.
You're saying he looks like a pirate?
Oh, man.
Did he have a leprechaun statue with him?
Oh, my God.
They let him come out from the top of the luxur.
they keep him inside of that.
It was him and Guy Fierry hanging out.
Oh, that's awesome.
There would be a fly on that decaying food.
I would just, I would buy tickets to Caratop, but it would have to be explicit,
but I don't meet him.
Like, you know what I mean?
I want to be at the back.
He cannot come within 35 feet of me.
Sure.
Because then I could enjoy the show knowing that I am safe.
You know what I mean?
I don't know what's going on with that show these days because they had something, of course,
like, you know, all the pre-show stuff.
with the Super Bowl, endless vignettes
with, you know, Wayne Newton, all these people
like legendary Vegas performers
and everything. And so they're covering
Carrotop on one of them and they had a bunch of footage
of him like on stage doing his thing.
Nary a prop to be seen.
Wow. It's funny because all the ads we saw
it was a nonstop loop of him doing prop comedy
and for some reason, whenever we looked up,
it would always be him like jerking off a shake weight.
Oh, sure. Oh, sure. Yes.
It's one of his best.
Our entire anniversary
trip is just
Hair top jerking and a shake one.
Moving over us.
Really got us in the mood.
It was not.
Yeah. Well, I mean, also just
it's hilarious every time.
Shakeweed A.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah. I also stops being funny.
So what's the joke there that jerking off
is a way to lose weight?
I guess that's true.
Yeah.
Oh, you know what?
Probably.
Yeah.
Well, because that's the thing is like,
it's billboards, so you can't hear it.
You just have to kind of mentally assume,
like, well, what's the joke?
Oh.
next step sound on billboards
I want that
I want his bits echoing through the canyons
Oh yeah
One day you'll get that
Don't you worry
I mean to to defend Gupta
A little bit on this one
The medallion that is so special
And makes the leprechaun spit tooth paste
Out of his mouth
It does look like a chinty
Reproduction of the thing
That burns the Nazis hand
And Raiders of the Lost Heart
And I would also be like
This is cheap bullshit
Maybe get this out of my fucking store
Has anyone ever pawned anything?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I don't think so.
Oh, Steve, Steve,
tell us your story of being alive in the 1970s.
In Jersey City, for the longest time,
like right up the street for me,
there was a pawn shop.
It's now turned into, obviously,
a weed store.
Sure.
That's how that finally happens.
I was a little down to my luck.
I think I was unemployed at the time.
My wife was actually working and out,
and I was like,
Just down on some cash.
I looked around the house.
I had an old iPad,
iPod Nano that I was like,
I don't use this no more.
Oh, man.
And I was just like,
you know what?
I might as well just see
what this pawn business is all about.
12th street.
20 bucks?
$0.
Please leave the store.
We will not accept your grungy iPod.
So I was rejected from the pawn store.
That's amazing.
And then I slept at a box car that night.
So you didn't pawn anything.
I did not.
never pawned anything. I tried to. Denied. Unsuccessfully.
Maybe pawn shops were put out of business by GameStop. Yeah. Yeah, because I think that's where
you would find, like, I feel like there are electronic, you use electronic stores you would go to
to get the nano rather than a pawn shop where I was like, what the fuck it did?
Excuse me? Hang on a second. So, Steve, when did you move to Jersey City? Do you remember the year?
2010, 2011. Okay, so even if it was the first day you moved
to that fucking town and you tried to pawn
that thing, you're already 10
years too late, dude, that is a real
here you throw this out, pawns.
Pawn operator.
I was expected like 20 bucks
and then maybe, you know, he could sell it for a hundred,
you know? Some
foolish granny goes in there.
He knows what's going to happen. Andrew, you were being
so presumptive. There is a young child
out there that wants to listen to 40 songs
max over and over
again, and they might love this.
They might love to have this.
Well, cassette tapes came back.
Why not iPod Nano?
Bring it back.
Let's do it.
But so he, yes, the leprechaun comes to life.
How does it come to life?
First line is racist.
Yes, his first line.
Oh, it absolutely is.
It's a weird, like he goes, like Gupta, like goes with the medallion or something,
and he comes back and the statue's gone.
That's right.
And it's just the pot of gold, which I'm sorry.
I need to see whatever that transition is.
Obviously, maybe it's too expensive.
A bit of an effect shot or something.
I don't know.
but it's pretty dumb.
He just is gone.
And now here's this pot of golden.
This dude, of course, is ready to rock and roll.
And the fucking leprechaun, like, bites him, bites his ear.
Like, oh, actually, no, first.
Tradition, grand tradition, I think, of these leprechaun movies now.
First reveal shot of this leprechaun, feet first.
You're getting them shoes.
You absolutely, the foot fetish is alive and well in this movie.
It's iconic.
That's something that's through all these movies.
Iconic footwear, dude.
I think this one here.
the first one with the striped, like, panty hose, though.
Really?
That might be a new edition.
It's hot as fuck.
That seems like essential to his past.
He, his costume, in the hood, he's wearing like a trench coat and shit.
That's right.
By the way, two years before the Mike Tyson earbite in case you're curious.
Oh, do you think, like, he saw this movie and he was like, that's a good idea if I ever get in a gym?
I'll do that to my enemies.
But he, but yeah, the first line is, it's kind of amazing that this first line, he bites.
the guy's the area and he goes, Indian food
quite spicy or something
to that effect. Yeah, boy. Which is
hilarious because like the line
in Freddy versus Jason, which everybody rightfully
hates, which is, um, dark meat or whatever it is.
Yeah. It's like the lowest point
of Freddie Kruger. This is probably like the highest
point for the lepracon. If you think about
it. Well, to be fair, Steve, he does
say that he likes Indian
food. That's fair. He's not like, ew,
Indian food. He's a fan.
He's a man of the world.
I see. He just doesn't like the Vindaloo, okay?
It's a little too spicy.
It's a little too much.
I just, you hate to see the, like,
like an Indian guy and an Irish guy fighting.
They have so much in, you know, their history.
They should be able to bond.
They both have good reasons to hate the British.
Exactly.
That's true.
That's true.
It's true.
I would love to see the lepergon come out with a Bobby Sandspin.
Just like fist up in the air.
Oh, that's an idea for a prequel.
You said it during that time.
Right.
And he's like,
and British people.
Oh my god.
Yeah.
Yeah.
A sequel to 71 starring the leprechaun.
I would love that.
And since it's the 70s, Steve,
you could have a little cameo pawning something in there.
Yeah.
Go to a Belfast pawn shop.
We find out that he was behind the Mountbatten assassination.
That would be so cool.
That's a movie.
I like the idea that the lepricot would like pay for an assassin.
He wouldn't, he wants to keep his fingers.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
You sons of bitches.
made Shirley McLean cry.
She was fucking bow batten.
Wait, really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A long-standing affair.
He bites his ear.
Then he bites his toe to.
He's very bitey this time.
He's the toe all right off.
Yeah.
He's just eating this guy.
He is bitey this movie.
Yeah.
Very bity.
He's like, he's like beating this dude with the Shalali.
Like it's fucking Danny DeVito and L.A.
Compton.
He's kicking the shit out of this guy.
He really is.
With the shaleli and a baseball bat at one point.
He meets the shit out of him for so long
because we keep cutting to other stuff
and then coming back and it's still going on.
It is.
Chelsea, you're totally right.
It's like it's a little bit of a chamber drama situation.
We're not leaving this pawn shop for a really long time.
I thought I was watching American Buffalo for a minute.
Like what the fuck is happening?
It takes, I mean, it takes forever.
It's like 30 minutes actually because they keep going.
Like you meet the other characters.
You meet the other casino.
You meet all this stuff.
And like, I'm like, this guy still isn't dead.
Like I, how is?
he's still going back to this pawn shop.
Yeah, Gupta hangs out for a while.
He does.
Like, I think there's one cut
where it's like the two of them when like,
it's two wrestlers and the match has gone on for a while.
Let's do a commercial break.
But yeah, we do cut away.
We cut away to John Gaddins as Scott.
Oh, my God.
Driving his little car full of shit across the country.
This guy, Scott, I mean, his performance wasn't really doing it for me.
But man, I looked him up.
quite an accomplished screenwriter.
Yeah. He wrote
Flight, Power Rangers,
Real Steel, Coach Carter,
Hardball, Summer Catch.
There's a couple of good movies in there.
I was trying to
place my finger on who he reminds me of in this movie,
and I realized he is Dean Venture
from the Venture Brothers.
Yeah, I buy that.
Definitely. Very much, yeah.
Also, in Las Vegas.
An E. Gray Jim Carrey.
Like, yeah.
What he's doing the transformation and everything?
And the wiggily, like the wilyness.
Like, he's a little too expressive in this movie for most leading men you get with these movies.
Most of them are stalled.
College kid driving from somewhere to Los Angeles.
Steve, sorry, he's driving from any town USA.
Got it.
Okay.
I see.
Yep.
Which is scarier because that means it could happen to you.
That's right.
This very thing could happen to you.
But he stopped off at the Back to the Future to Future to get this vest that he's been wearing.
I don't know what this thing is.
This is insane.
It's got zippers upon...
Is it going to fishing college?
Either that or fucking suicide vest school, dude, one or the other.
Yeah.
Passful of explosives.
Yeah, got to start a little church upstate and see what's happened.
Yeah, that's where he keeps all his little potatoes later.
All his various styles of potatoes.
He's got a pocket for each time.
That is, to me, as a half a half a potato.
Irish person the most offensive
so as half Irish you only want
potatoes half the time
that's right the other time
it's just potato booze which is vodka
that's my Ukrainian side
that's how that works
but yeah so he almost runs down a woman in the street
because I guess he's thinking about all the grand
adventures he's going to have at college
in Los Angeles and this is Lee
Armstrong as Tammy this was the movie
that made her realize acting
wasn't for her she left the business
right after this movie
You gotta really hand it to somebody
who learns the lesson
You gotta really
Just like high five on that one
Because that is where she could have really
Really gotten work
Well maybe not because I didn't
I don't know how much this would have called for it
But if Alicia Silverstone needed a stunt double
This woman could swing right in
Sure
Or if any other movie needed a sexy baby character
Or a sexy baby voice
She could do that
and unsettle all of us because, boy, was I uncomfortable then.
Yeah, when she gets, like, horny, it's like, well, it's weird because, like, she's
magically horny, but it's like, is that just her horny or is that the magic mixing in?
Yeah, or is that lepracons?
So that's his ideal, like, this is what a horny woman sounds like.
He loves poor things.
I think that's exactly what it is.
Like, oh, what does it sound like when they get all worked up?
And he's, like, pulling the strings.
from behind like a puppet master.
I watch Yorgo's Lanthabos movies
for all the wrong reasons.
But yeah, so he's like
taking a look at the car here
and he's got this line.
You ever blown a rod before?
Absolutely, dude. This line,
she thinks he's a pervert immediately.
Also, I'm a girl. I don't need to know
car stuff. Oh, that's right.
He's like, you don't want to know about any of this, huh?
No.
She's like, no, I'm more interested in magic
and I will never bring it up again throughout the rest of this movie.
This is my one big problem with this movie is she says she wants to be a magician.
I want to see her doing magic and stuff to outwit leprechaun.
And or like at the end of the thing, somebody's like, you know what?
You can come to my miscarino and you're the lead actor.
Especially because you know what?
It is still an actual problem within magic that there are barely any female magicians.
Like, magic is still such a crazy boys' club.
Yeah.
And I think it would have been cool to see.
But then we wouldn't end with the...
Oh, her, just...
You know, the Costa Blanca line.
Oh, that's what I suppressed it.
You got...
Yeah, we can't take away that ending.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, because she reminds me a lot of clawed reins.
Yeah.
I feel like the Casablanca line was the first use of AI ever in screenwriting.
And it was like barely working.
they just shoved like all the pages
like would you like
Casablanca ending it's like yes
AI I would
I think it's a thing where the screenplay
just the last line is like
and you know Scott like it gives
the credit for who's going to speak and then it just
parentheses John Gaddens
improvises something I was going to say the exact same thing
or like the printer ran out of
ink or paper like before it could print the last page
and then like oh shit
I don't know you know what I prefer
to the original ending where they were going to
they did the godfather ending and they were going
to have him go into a room with a bunch of old
leprecons or going to pack him out on the back
and poor Tammy was going to be shut
have the door shut on her wasn't she?
He does the
no country for old men monologue
about his dad riding away
on a horse.
Low push. And he was up there
with a shaleli.
But so
he's like, she's like, could you give
you a ride to my, I work at the lucky
Shamrock Hotel, wouldn't you know it?
He gives her a ride.
Meanwhile, and I want this,
this folklore DVD, CD-ROM that Gupta has.
It has so much information.
So it's got like, it sounds like the whole internet of folklore on there.
I don't know how much space this thing has on it.
But you do have to type in the full word to look it up, Lepricon.
And when you're done, you have to type in ESC.
You don't hit, it's so funny.
It doesn't say.
hit is, it says type
is PSC.
And great graphics, too, right out of
E-BOM's world.
It's beautiful. You got, you get
this floppy disc from like a joke store, right?
This isn't supposed to, like, or is it
the history place around the corner?
Like, hey, let's learn about the history
of folklore. They eat
potatoes all the time.
It's like a bullshit CD-ROM
Encyclopedia thing that you'd like buy
at a, you know, PC world
store or whatever the fuck, Comp USA.
A smackhead is going in and just, it's like, oh, I got my kid's CD-Rob folklore.
How much is that worth?
And that's, you know, that's how that works.
More than a nano.
More than a nano for sure.
Yeah, they successfully palm that CD-ROM, that iPod Nano.
No, thank you.
Although I'm pretty sure, you know, I'm pretty sure this would be more than one disc.
Because I'm thinking of like, Riven, that was, that was at least two discs.
I had to swap them out.
And if this is going on and on, the entire time leprechawn's there, I think that needs to be at least a two disc.
It's not a lepricon disc.
It's a folklore desk.
You'd assume that they have genies,
jinns, and so on and so forth.
Taylor Swift in there, yeah.
I was praying for a gin for this during this movie.
Think about Wishmaster, Wishmaster 2.
You can say it, Superior film.
I feel like we have the past two episodes of this pitch,
a Leprechaun Wishmaster Crossover,
but I'll say it again just in case.
It's such a cool idea.
Bring Andrew.
And Warwick out of retirement, get them in there.
Exactly.
They're all alive.
Let's do it.
We can make it happen.
Maybe if Andrew went to it, maybe Michael Trucco will do it.
Oh, was he Wishmaster in the fourth one?
Yes.
Oh, wow.
I didn't know the Truco came.
I saw the third one and turned it off.
But if Michael Truco is the Wishmaster in Part 4, I might put it back on.
We were at a Christmas party where Michael Truco is there.
We introduced ourselves.
And we said, by the way, love Wishmaster 4.
He was like, Jesus Christ.
He basically, like, he basically shushed us and was like, how do you know about that?
And we were like, sir, it's our job, too.
Yeah, it sounds like a, sounds like a diss there.
No, he was, he was really sweet.
He actually, I think he got a big kick that he knew that.
Yeah, we talked to him for a while.
I would think you could get Divoff back, though, because he was just in, I think, barely in, but in Perry Mason.
He has a small role in the first season, at least.
He was wandering around that.
I watched all of that show.
Where was he in Perry Mason?
Right at the end, he's one of the guys who,
was like taking care of the cop at the very
end. Oh, oh, really? Yeah, he's on that. I got to go back.
That fucking show was great. Super expensive, obviously, and that's why they canceled it.
But that was an amazing show. Yeah, so he's looking through
how do I fucking learn about lepracons or whatever? And this is, leprechaun is
like, the guy has put him in the back room
where he keeps all the stuff, like End of Raiders style. And he's like
counting everything. And oh, 98, 99. I don't.
I'm one shilling short, and that's this guy, you know, bull see red, this guy's seeing green, he's fucking furious.
Where's this shilling?
Let's go kill this guy.
We learned two important things with the Lepricon CD-ROM game.
One, if you have a coin, you can make a wish.
And not even a crooked wish, which I was surprised.
You get a good wish out of it.
It's pretty straightforward, yeah.
Until he shows up and ruins it.
Yes.
But I don't think that's part of it.
I think he's just a particularly mean lepricon.
Yes.
And the second thing.
is two leprechauns can't be
in the same space or something like that, which
I mean, we go the route of the
where leprechaun, which I'm not crazy about.
I was kind of hoping get another little
person actor there, maybe Mickey from Seinfeld
as leprick, other leprechaun.
Now we have leprechaun v. Leprocon.
Oh yeah. Oh, yeah. You want to know the territory
system, right? Like the old wrestling
situation. Right. Who can go where?
Yeah, I need to know that. I need to know where he
stands in this situation because it does seem like he's just been
somebody must have taken his territory if he's
fucking in this
statue for a...
Oh, you think someone
toppled his empire?
He must have.
What else?
Another leprechaun did that to him?
Yeah, I had to.
Look, I'm saying by it's the troll
from Ernest scared stupid.
Maybe he has a territory to...
There's a lot of conflict going on there.
Prequel, two lepracons that were
with each other during the Irish Civil War.
Sure.
Yeah, the wind that shakes the lepercon.
Didn't take that much of a win.
I love the out the exterior of this lucky shamrock casino that we pull up to
this movie no money whatsoever to build sets
everything you're looking at in this movie is a real location outside and in
very important not necessarily in Las Vegas but everything is real
this exterior shamrock casino they pull up it is just a printed sign
that we have hung overworked
whatever the actual building was.
Yeah, whatever like airport hotel
ballroom.
They just covered up the Ramada sign.
Yeah.
I don't know what this was in the 90s.
We liked this as a horror setting
because Wishmaster 2 also has this
as a site for a big slaughter
with Bocheme Woodbine, I think,
randomly. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But at that point, you were just happy to get out
the damn prison.
Yeah.
Some air, please.
It is, I mean, it's a great place to do some
shit moralizing like, I don't know, these people and they're gambling, that will be their undoing.
But wait, what's that a priest with babes? I got to be honest. I was refreshed to see a priest
with two women of consenting age. I was like, that's fucking fantastic.
Go off. Go off, father. You do you. Yeah. Break those vows as long as everyone's cool with it
and age. Go right ahead. They make it a big point to have, is it Tammy, tell him like, look,
You have to be 21 to get in here.
I can help you win because I work here.
So we know that those girls are at least 21.
That's great.
That's wonderful.
I think good for everyone.
Good job, Father Bob, having him blow on his dyes.
Yeah.
That's the thing is he's taking way too fucking long at that crap.
Yeah.
We play craps.
Craps is our game.
Oh, really?
Father Bob would be getting out of our nerves.
Craps is the game that scares me the most because I feel like it's like when you, like,
like you're saying right now, there's all these unwritten rules.
are like, this fucking asshole is wearing a red shirt.
Like, I just feel like if I, what to do crap,
I'd be in a huge trouble.
Dude, if you say the number seven.
You can't say the number seven.
People will murder you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But that's about, I mean, it's not like Blackjack where you,
if you do something wrong, quote, unquote,
you're influencing the, you know, how the cards are dealt
and people will get pissed.
Yes.
Blackjack is scary.
Blackjack is scary.
That's how I met that man.
We were playing Blackjack next to a man.
I'm pretty sure it was a ghost.
He looked kind of like Kenny Loggins,
like white hair, white cowboy hat, white suit.
And I did something stupid in Blackjack.
And he was very sweet about it because it affected his deal.
And then he taught me how to properly play Blackjack.
And I never saw him again.
And I do think he was a casino ghost.
You're totally right.
That guy was shot in the head by Frank Sinatra's goons 60 years ago.
He's buried under the,
Luxor or something.
I love how innocent
this dude is and that's why I was making
fun of any town USA because he's just
like, wow.
Vegas is great. Yeah.
It is magic. We should quickly
mention Father Bob's apparently a cameo.
He was the same character in Night of the
Demons 2. Yes. So it was
Zoe Trilling, who was one of
the women on his arms also. The babes?
Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.
And that's because
Trentwood Smith directed that as well.
Yes. Okay. I did not know this.
Still out to lunch. I don't know
this for sure. I'm going to watch it maybe tonight.
Porky's 4,
Colin Pimpin Peewee.
And that's one of these movies he did.
I don't think it has anything. What year do you have on that?
I'm just so curious.
2009. No.
No.
It looks like it is streaming.
It's not about Peewee Herman. I think it's about a small penis.
So I'm definitely going to check this out.
Oh, Bob Clark.
Like wait, wait, like a sentient small penis.
like, oh, how's it wrong?
I god damn hope so.
It's about a fella with a small schlong is what you're saying.
You want to talk about gambling.
Eric, I would have bet you
by next paycheck that there
not only was there never a Porky's movie
after 9-11, there certainly couldn't
have been a Porky's movie after
Barack Obama was sworn in.
There just certainly could not have been.
Yeah, well, there was.
I bet you.
Shocked. I bet you it was filmed in the Bush.
administrate. It could have come out January 1st through 20th.
That's still Bush era technically. I think so. Very true. Classic Obama, by the way,
he campaigned on no more porkies. That was a promise. And then look what happened.
Bobby, we're giving tax breaks to the Porkies franchise. Read my lips. No new Porkies.
We're making Porkies about micro-penises now, Poppy. Well, there was a thing for like 20 years.
Howard Stern was trying to produce
a Porky's remake. Like
after Private Parts was like
such a hit, it was like, you want to make
another movie? What do you want to do? And for a while it was
like he was going to try to do Porky's.
And I guess this is what we got
instead. I think there's three
before this one. Isn't that the, is
this Peewee's thing, the fourth one? The fourth
one, yes. Yeah, there we go.
Was there a fifth?
Let me see.
Or did Peewee kill the franchise?
I think he would have killed the franchise.
We'll have to bring it back or do a saw thing, saw X thing,
do a little Porky's prequel type of thing.
Puechle.
Yes.
But yeah, Scott is not like, he's just bowled over by,
and I mean, this place must smell like shit.
It is the oldest, like we're saying,
lowest ceiling casino.
Like there's no, there's actually no grandiosity to it.
It is so grimy.
Like, if you've ever been to an Elks Lodge,
this is what we're talking about.
There should be more smoke in there.
There should be more cigarette smoke.
in the room
because that would make
it more believable
because that's the thing
that really separates
the place is like
you can just smell
like people have just
been chimneying this place
because they let you in
and the cheap
and the drinks are cheap
you know that
for sure
oh yeah
this is where you find
the $5 table
we meet Fasio
the grand magician here
I love Fosio
so much
I have such a crush
on Fosco
I'm saying it
I have no shame
but he's the guy
I mean, this is the guy.
These are the asshole man gatekeepers of the magic world.
Yeah.
Dude's like Fasio,
talentless hacks,
but because he's a dude,
he's like headlining this place,
which like you don't,
I mean,
you do and you don't get like the scope of how big the lucky shamrock casino is.
Like,
but clearly it's not a major player on the strip.
So this dude,
the fact that he's headlining this very shitty magic show,
it's nothing to,
it's nothing to write home about that.
It's like a bignan or maybe,
Even like a Cromwells or something.
Oh, yeah, Cromwell.
There's a fucking casino called Cromwells.
Are you kidding me?
Cromwells.
It is on the strip.
And, yeah, we always forget it exists
until we walk by it.
Does James ever stop by?
Yeah, I know.
That's what you're joking as James Cromwell.
I was curious.
All proceeds go to charity.
I was going to say, yeah, he would never approve
unless it was a charitable endeavor.
What I also love about the characters
in this movie. One, there's so many
of them. But two, it's like, you meet
Fasio and you're like, okay, he's the asshole.
But then he has a higher up asshole.
Mitch, who's like
has power over him. But then Mitch
is also being like extorted
or by, it's just
there's just layers of shitty characters.
Is it Loretta, Caroline Williams?
Yes. Yes.
Run around with like these crazy
fake boobs that are down to her waist.
Yep. I didn't even notice
until Chelsea pointed them out. They are like
she's tripping over that.
talk about stretch my god
in her initial incarnation
they keep calling her fat and you're like
is she but I guess like
if you're looking at
I don't know I didn't see that but I guess so
right if your body looks like
from you know a distance 80%
tit you I guess you can start to assume
it's the mid 90s
I think we're already well into like
heroin she can stuff
oh big time yeah
when she gets all glammed up
obviously the same actress she just has a better
haircut. It's like, okay.
You know what they mean? They're giving her like a fake ass.
She's got like a fake ass and kind of like fake
gut thing. She's supposed to be like older or whatever.
Yeah, they frump her up for it. Yeah.
Yeah. She's in love with Fasio for a minute here. She's like, you know,
I want to, I want to be your assistant. And it's like, no, you're too fat, old
and uglier. Whatever they say.
Right. Because yeah, because this girl is late for work
because she's dealing with fucking Muppet babies getting them into the casino.
He says, you need more than a boob job, Loretta.
You need a personality switch.
Jesus.
Ouch.
Thanks, co-worker.
Yeah.
Oh, and then our, Scott, don't forget, he has a check from mom and dad.
Oh, man.
And it says this should cover your tuition and housing.
And it's this very lovely handwritten note, this comically sweet handwritten note.
He immediately cashes in all of it in games.
23,000.
And then in one sitting at the roulette table, loses it.
We got an inflation calculation.
Yes, please do.
Yeah, that's great count on what that is.
Also, here's, I mean, rule of thumb, ma and pop, back home, wherever the hell
cornfield you came from.
Like, don't give an 18-year-old kid a check for $23,000.
Let's start there.
Considering what happens, I think it's the cornfield from the stand that they come from.
Mail the tuition ahead of time.
Give him the $800.
for books and whatever.
Yeah.
That right.
It's about $47,000.
It's twice as much, literally.
Mother of God.
Also, I love that he's covering, like, that's like school for the whole four years, I bet, back in 1995.
That's the whole matriculation.
He doesn't have to wait tables, you see, to pay his own tuition.
He can actually, he has a check to do it.
A little rich boy.
Little rich boy there.
He is.
Yeah.
He lost in America's himself by sitting there and just loses everything immediately.
The table is crooked, too. Loretta's fucking with people.
We see a little switch thing under the table.
That kind of comes to nothing.
You want somebody get called out for this shenanigans,
but I guess the whole casino's crooked.
That should have been something later.
But again, the Mickey Mouse Mafia that apparently is above Mitch
like running this whole thing, they're sort of ill-defined, but yeah.
Nebulously gay, like possibly gay-coded.
Yeah.
They have some weird lines, but I also love these two.
Yeah, they let them improv a lot in this, I think.
They're definitely riffing.
Like the stuff with the underwear versus the jocca,
boxers versus jockeys.
It's a nice rapport they have.
Again, the comedy in this movie,
it's very important.
I think that's what makes this movie more successful
than the other two.
There's legitimately funny moments in it.
And the entire time,
we keep cutting back to the saga of Gupta
versus the leprecha.
That is just still going on.
And I'm like, always surprised when we cut back to it.
I'm like, still?
this guy's still breathing?
All right.
Like just go across the street
Lepricon.
That's where the movie is.
Well, don't they like take a break at one point
just to drink for a while?
Yes.
And then they go back and then finally
the Leprocon kills the son of a bitch.
They're negotiating, dude.
He's like, all right, I'll give you
the medallion and I won't threaten you with it anymore
if you give me half the pot of gold.
Now let's sit here.
We're going to split the shitty looking bottle of whiskey
and talk it out.
There's negotiation in this movie.
Yeah, no thanks.
Hey, Lepricon, you're missing the movie.
Well, that's, you know what?
That is a key.
We've been, we talked about even earlier in this episode.
Why the crossover with the Wishmaster thing has to happen is because Wishmaster is the
Jason to Leprechaun's Freddy.
Yeah.
Like he's, there's too much bebop and then scatting with a leprechaun.
He can't stop himself.
Wishmaster, quick to the point, you know?
You don't have that like good feeling for too long before you see your wish turned to shit with
the Wishmaster.
It's almost immediately.
Lepricon, he like takes.
this time. He's a little bit of a lazy son of a bitch
if you ask me. And like
and disgusting too. We'll get to
what happens with Loretta later.
But Chris Cabin calling someone
lazy and disgusting. I stand by it.
But this one
our little leppy friend uses like the
force here to use a
fishing line to grab
the amulet away from Gupta.
And this is canon, right? He's moved
stuff with his mind before and
the other movies. I'm sure. I mean, he's just all magic.
He does do a honest to goodness Looney Tunes gag
by putting his finger in the barrel of the gun.
Yep.
That was pretty cool.
But I was like, Gupta, why'd you pull the trigger?
Or I guess maybe he used the telekinesis to pull the trigger is the idea there.
But yeah, so this dude's dead.
We go back to Scott.
He's down to nothing but a few hondo.
And this Loretta's just working him, man.
Work in this kid.
What a moron.
Oh, well, you had such a bad streak.
You're bound to hit.
Put down more money.
Put down more money.
It'd be one thing if there was a ghostly cowboy now.
next to you.
Literally like make your grandparents
proud. Win it back.
Exactly. But he's got no
excuse. If you got the 23
grand, that's awesome. Take the
1,000 of it
and go fucking hogwild.
And then be like, wow, I really blew it on
that $1,000. That's why I
I'm totally on Loretta's side on this note.
Milk this son of a bitch for all of it.
If he's fucking stupid, if he's
that fucking stupid, if he's that
fucking stupid to $23,000
to just fucking burning.
in front of this lady.
Like, after the first five was gone,
shouldn't you put a pause?
Maybe get a different table,
walk down the street to a different place.
Something else tells you,
stop doing this, please.
It's like a high rolling roulette table.
Like, you're doing like $200 at a time,
must take hours.
He's out with the plebs, dude.
Exactly.
I thought it was going to be a thing
where he'd be so stupid.
He was like all in on, you know,
put it all on black.
Like the first thing and it just goes immediately.
But the fact that it's a piecemeal like this,
what an idiot.
You're the hero of this.
movie? You're a moron. We do like to see him get beaten down slow motion. This is the first
version of it. Him turning into a leprechaun is the second version of it. Yes. And we'll get there
very soon, I imagine. But yeah, this is where he goes over to the pawn shop. Yes, because he wants
more money to gamble. And Lauren is like, well, that that watch looks pretty nice.
Oh, yeah, go graduation gift. My dying grandpa's watch. That's a bit, I like, this does make me think
they should just start throwing like some
creatures into like other
gambling dramas owning Mahoney
there's a leprechaun there who's like
you know
give me a little extra and then I can
cover that bet that is one of
the most underrated degenerate gambler
movies of all time I've actually never seen it
it's a real I haven't seen it's a little
Philipsymore Hoffman gem
the dude's got a real gambling problem
and it's awesome
well the cooler has one of those right Chris
he's got you get a monster in the form of
Alck Baldwin, right?
Yeah, he's roaming around.
A Goliath and sorts.
Punching William H. Macy in the stomach like six times in that movie.
That's pretty great too.
But, well, I don't know, I feel like, at this point,
you might as well pull on your grandfather's watch.
You're going to kill yourself anyway.
You've already, I mean, like, how are you ever going to explain this to anybody?
It's like, it's suicide or bust.
Like, let's hope maybe grandpa's watch can get me out of this jam.
This is also like the city of sin itself, right?
That is corrupting our poor Scott.
That's why I wish there was a little more up front about Scott and like something, something, boy, I never left town before I decided to drive cross country to L.A., like, all of that.
Or like, yeah, I get that through the performance.
I'm looking at this guy and that's, I'm already thinking that.
You're just like, that guy's doomed.
Part of a church group or something and then he sees Father Bob and he's like, oh, no.
Now, I've never had the displeasure of finding a random corpse on the street or in a store or whatever, you know.
But I would imagine that I would imagine that if I walked into a pawn shop like this and there's a dude just dead on the floor, I'd have a better response than, I thought I had problems.
Oh, man, a dead body.
There's a rim shot.
Come on, no rim shot.
If I lost $23,000 in a night,
I think I'd rather be that guy.
Yeah, absolutely.
Totally.
Hey, Gupta, do you want to trade places, dude?
How did you get like this?
Also, the editing in this movie is insane
because it's just constant cross-cutting.
Because while we're getting this pivotal moment for Scott,
the main character of the film,
we're cutting back and forth to the magic show going on.
The saddest magic show of all time.
This is why I love Fasio because of his physical,
like his little shimmy.
It's very jove.
It is.
It is.
I bet you Will Arnett saw this movie.
He was like,
let me find movies that are set in Las Vegas
or have magicians in them and see what I can do.
It's very like James,
I don't think you watched these when you were a kid,
but they had those TV specials that were on like,
I think Fox where it was like magician secrets revealed.
And it's all like that style magic
where we've got the big polyester.
shirts and it's all very showy and yeah those are great um i call it i have a tv tape of one of them
so i've watched it kind of recently it's amazing because Mitch Pilegy uh from uh x files
narrates them but he does it with like disdain because that's the whole point it's like
yes they're breaking the magic circle exactly look at this guy in his flashy shirt it's like
it's just this weird very grim way to talk about magic you know i've told you before agent mulder
and I'm going to tell you again
in front of Agent Scully
so someone hears this
I'm not telling you
how the tricks are done
and of course
the bunny rabbit is fine
but yes
this actor John Demito
is like this guy
has to have dated Elaine Venice
at some point
apparently not no but he
a dude I forgot to look it up
but I got the same vibe
I was like that dude had to have been
on Seinfeld
that's crazy that he's not though
yeah prolific voice actor
he's got a ton of anime
Right.
Yes, that I saw.
Steve,
Steve, you've been trying to get into that racket.
Maybe you can regale us with your,
your anime voice,
your general you were doing that one episode of...
All I could do is a general.
And I know Chelsea,
I'm doing this audition for Chelsea,
who does actually do legit voice work,
don't please.
Yeah.
Just kind of, you know...
Everything in the city is going to shit.
Get in there right now.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
It's a lot of hay.
Yeah.
Those are good effort.
You know, the like...
That's part.
Those are...
Those are the most funded you.
Exactly.
That motorcycle gang is too much.
Get them out of here.
Get them out of here.
Hey.
Steve,
you're missing a very important.
You're going to charge up.
You've got to charge up to yell.
I wasn't sure what to expect.
I thought you were going to talk about insurance.
Different general.
Yes.
Okay.
What is Sekeel O'Neill doing here?
I'm not the right general.
That's right.
Our podcast,
we mostly talk about the general,
the cartoon general from the general insurance company.
Not so much military.
figures. We're usually talking about the general
from the insurance commercials.
Exactly. He's a war hero, anyway.
He is. Absolutely. It's been a beautiful man. Purple Heart,
I think. Yeah. He was at, uh,
what was that massacre in Vietnam?
There's several of them. There you go.
I do, one of the best things I love about this
terrible magic show. And like,
yeah, I've seen some neat magic here and there, but bad magic
in a bad magic show is fucking grueling.
And this movie gets it so right because, yeah,
he's doing the shimmy and all this shit.
the audience there's like six people
they're all in between coughing
and yawning fits and they are
playing like it's in the auditorium
at this casino the absolute
best porno music money could buy for this movie
it's incredible this whole sequence is
incredible to be fair to one couple
is making out by the way
which I really love
yeah you gotta go to a place where no one's gonna give a shit
what you're doing and this terrible magic show
is right there let's go make out
struggles with the curtains a little bit
I love it.
And the tepid applause that he gets
like when the trick is finally done
because it's one of those like
the woman's going to go from this box to this box
and by the time he shimmies over,
she's not there.
And I love he closes it and kind of like
shimmies back and then shimmies toward it again.
Like all right, take two.
And then she's there and it's like this.
They're kind of doing bad like it's voiceover
and we're not really mumbling to each other.
But it's just like, you know,
where were you?
And she's like, I told you that trapped door.
has been broken for weeks. Boy, this is a shitty casino. Like, on the job complaints with the magic
show. It's amazing. The whole thing is amazing. Got to get to that 90 minutes, baby. You absolutely
do. The whole score is very much the Canon stock synth score that you can trade in. Horror movies,
kids movies, action movies. Any little thing, like, it's very like, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. But, like, it's
leprecha-cun pulling a guts out.
Wait, we play game music.
Yeah, it's so good.
Very unsettling.
But in the cutback, luckily that CD-ROM was running that says, if you find a
Lumpurcon's gold, you should make a wish on it.
And Scott finds the gold.
He's like, man, I wish I was back at the casino on a hot streak.
He does call the police, and then he's magically gone.
He doesn't call the police.
He calls the operator.
He doesn't call 911.
He doesn't call the police.
Hi, operator.
Yeah, there's a dead body here.
where I don't know
when they do go back
like at the end of the movie
when they go back to the pawn shop I was like
man how did they just walk in like this is a crime scene
and this movie it's so amazing
because they were like oh yeah this is supposed
to be a crime scene hang on a second
one string of caution
and the body's gone
yeah somebody took Gupta
but we did not block this store off at all
yeah so lucky number seven
he's on this hot streak now Loretta's calling
him golden boy it's this whole thing and I really like this the he puts the shilling on top of
the stack of chips and the shilling navigates on the table where he should make the bet it's all
pretty nice cool little practical effects phone calls are being made as soon as you see that little
stack of chips moving around he's being disappeared forever but Jesse keep this in mind that
this is the most rinky dink operation I'm not sure if they have muscle I don't know if they
have that kind of situation there.
They don't have cameras, that's for sure.
Mitch can't drag you through the desert.
He'll have a hard attack.
Yeah, I think the great Fasio is their muscle, too.
I think that's what he does when he gets off work.
But Mitch comes up to Loretta's like, what's going on here?
I can't believe you'll let this guy walk away with all this money.
And she's like, I think he's got some sort of magic coin.
Yeah, she mentions, she's like, he's on a winning streak.
And then that's when Scott realizes, he's like,
A winning streak?
I wished for that.
It wasn't when he disappeared from the pawn shop
and wound up at the table.
What happened to that horrifically murdered?
Oh, wow, this winning street.
Money.
Now, teleportation, that was normal.
But, whoa, I'm on a winning streak.
I never got to teleport back in Kansas.
This is great.
Las Vegas is awesome.
He says, man, Las Vegas is really turning out
to be a great place.
And it's so sincere.
here and so cute
is there a McDonald's here too
I just can't wait I just can't
I love how he has to like
pretend like he's like oh I'm just
doing this naturally like he hovers his hand over
to kind of cover it a little bit like
oh this is just natural this is just
normal here yeah okay
and the leprechaun's magic is so strong
it breaks the crooked thing
that's fucking up the roulette table
when she goes to use it
it makes a loud buzz in a way
if I'm gambling I'm like
Wait, hey, what was that?
What was that noise?
It shouldn't be the noise I hear when I'm getting buzzed into the porn shop, or the pawn shop.
Both kinds of stores using buzzer systems for the stores after a certain hour.
Mini fridge underneath here.
That's where I keep my sodas ice cold.
Don't worry about it.
It's also a combination microwave.
Ding.
Yeah, I was just, yeah, I was opening my mini fridge with my breasts.
Don't worry about it.
Please don't beat me to death.
But so after that, obviously.
it's like, we're going to close this table down.
We're going to cool this off. And they're like,
Mitch gives him a complimentary room in the world
shittiest hotel. Yes.
And so Tammy sees him
with this huge stack of chips. And she's pissed
off because she's like, look, I told you
had to go work this shitty magic show.
And I'd come back and find you. I told you
not to gamble because you could get me fired. My boss, Mitch
could get fired. Heaven forbid if that happened.
So she's pissed off or whatever. And she's like,
go upstairs and wait in this room
and I'm going to come up and we're going to talk
this all out. We should say there has been
she has sort of agreed to a dinner date
which never happens. She didn't say no. Once I get off work with my
shitty dinner date. It's a flirty like we'll see
tough guy kind of thing. But I love that he's like I just want all this
money. It's because of you. I want to spend the rest of my life
with you. Yeah, exactly. Because he
doesn't say that but he says I want to give you half of this. I want to share
this with you. And James, you're totally right. That is
share not only all the chips
and the gold coins
my life with you. Because
I'm just a good old boy from
wherever the fuck, middle
of nowhere. Yeah, because he's like 18.
He's going to be a freshman.
Yeah, he's 18, 19 maybe.
I'm going to marry my first
girlfriend.
I was going to go to film school.
Not anymore.
I love this little sequence
we're out right here where our little
lep friend here, he meets
Elvis for two seconds?
This is enjoyable.
Oh, you think it's actually Elvis?
I do.
Well, there's like a paparazzi.
So is there a pap shop for fake Elvis getting to the shitty casino or like what is
happening here?
What year does this take?
I now declare this shitty casino open.
Hey man, you do that pretty good.
Yeah, then it's like six months later.
I now declare this shitty casino demolish.
Halfway through a fried chicken.
and a peanut butter sandwich. Exactly.
So, yeah, Warwick's all like, oh, cool, I'm
vibing with Elvis. This is great. Warwick definitely doing
an Elvis impersonation of his own. He's doing a couple
voices in this. And, you know, they're all right.
He's also, this is all right. This whole, he's doing it.
In the Discover, in the Casino Montage, he's in it for a second. You can see him.
He's wearing a hat at one of the, one of the
slot machines. You mean Warwick himself out of
Out of makeup.
Just playing a slot jockey.
Yeah, with the line of, like, little people there.
And he's in there.
I forgot that he was one of them.
Oh, my God.
I just always, what, are they like people sitting at slot machines?
They've got, like, their bucket of coins.
Yep.
Yeah.
Yeah, the real Marge Simpson kind of gambler victims.
Yes.
But also, apparently they had no permits for any of this outside footage.
This is all guerrilla stuff.
I mean, you know.
But I assume that the Elvis was with them.
I would imagine.
Oh, yeah.
That's what I think I...
Hey man, you look at that
in front of a shitty horror movie.
You could rent me for $10.
Yeah, exactly.
I feel like it wasn't the last time we were in Vegas.
It was the time before we were like walking.
It was a weird thing where I think we were heading in the same direction
as like this Elvis impersonator who was a few steps ahead of us.
It was like, I guess, yeah, they just exist here.
You know, it's like seeing them in the wild is crazy.
Wow.
Yep.
I mean, you never want to be a few steps behind an Elvis impersonation.
Is it one of those things that?
or did he want to like get let me get a picture with you guys hey
great couple no no he's like 20 bucks
no exactly he seemed like he was going somebody
oh he was showing a best buy
gotta go buy a new lepracom CD-ROM
going to the Taco Bell can't you know where you can get
alcoholic Baja blast of course
oh yeah castle or the white castle
to get it over here on my god think about all the new
stuff that could have killed Elvis that he didn't have
in 1977 he would have had a blast all the stuff that
bacon is on now he would have been
so happy.
It's not donuts now.
I think, was it your psycho episode where you guys, like, he'd be, yeah, like, with
Alfred Hitchcock together and they're like, damn, the bake made it.
We missed it, man.
It would be said, I mean, Elvis specifically, man, he would be in the dumps.
I will say something about the footage of him outside.
It looks like he's, like, guiding a tour group when he's doing the little things.
And what I'm missing, I think what I was expecting from this movie was like,
why isn't he killing
killing Wayne Newton?
Why can't I get something like that?
Because you're not paying for Wayne Newton.
Exactly.
Like it's not,
you don't got Chuckie money, I guess,
because that does sound like something.
Mars attacks.
Exactly.
Or Vegas vacation money
where he's like the fifth build
supporting actor in that movie.
It does seem like something that Chuckie would be more
likely to do.
It feels like to get a celebrity in there
and to play themselves and actually get the town right.
And like, but that I think that's what
I was kind of missing is like some big sense,
but yeah, they had no money, clearly.
It goes up to Celine Dion, your heart won't go on.
Very, very, very, very, I like that.
But yeah, oh, yeah, that's what I would like to see.
You could afford caretop.
You could totally afford to.
Maybe not 95.
Yeah.
Well, this is also, I think, 95, it's like before he was a Vegas staple.
He hadn't been relegated to the desert.
Well, let's surround chairman of the board, right?
That's what relegated him to the desert.
He was a Hollywood staple before that.
Okay, Shamar and the board comes out two years after this.
Wow.
What a time to be alive, man.
Just the magic of the movies in the 90s.
Oh, yeah.
But the leprechaise his fat assays his fat asses into the goddamn lucky, lucky, lucky clover hotel,
45 minutes into the, or shamrock, 45 minutes into the film.
And now he's, he goes right to Scott's room, right?
Is this where he goes?
No, he runs into Fosio.
He's like walking around on the craps table.
Yeah, he's walking on the craps table.
Apparently, uh, I, when we were in Vegas, I went on like a wiki kind of rabbit hole on
like all the different hotels.
And apparently, Deezers in like, I think the 90s was sued for $200,000 by like the
gambling commission because they let a Baccarat player who was on a winning street get up on
the table and like jump up and down on it.
Oh, wow.
This would have put Mitch under.
You could let me not walk around on there.
You'll give so much trouble.
He bumps into Fasio who, this is embarrassing.
This is a great scene.
Your terrible act, right?
And then Mitch is like, he's like, no, you're going to,
we're going to have you go around.
And instead of your show, you're going to do in person,
like face-to-face magic.
Now you are walk around, you're walking around the lobby
up close magic greeting people.
with a fake rabbit.
With a soft animal rabbit
instead of a real one.
This is just the lowest.
Like this is the nadir
of being a magician, this kind of gig.
He's going to get on the New York, New York roller coaster
and not do the safety harness.
Yeah.
Just let it take it.
This is a moment where you start,
you look for office manager positions
and you start teaching magic in your office time.
You know, that's just, you know, that's the life.
That's happens.
But the leprechaun is having fun.
He's gambling.
I kind of imagine.
a, speaking of Philip Sumer Hoffman,
his character at Hard 8, just like,
I'm blowing this up for you, short-timer.
Hey, this is for the little leprechaun over there.
Little leprechaun, man.
Oh, yeah.
Who's the, okay, so Father Bob was a character.
Who's the guy next to leprechaun at the craps table?
He looks like boy from little monsters.
Yeah, he's like this very, like, pretty looking boy.
And it's before Art and Tony come up and they, like,
shoe him off.
And they, it's when he, like, turns the muscle guy into a slot machine.
but this guy looks very particular.
He looks like Taco.
Like, uh,
yes.
Yeah.
Like putting on the Ritz guy.
Yeah.
Yes.
Black face,
but.
I have no idea.
The only other,
uh,
a gambler I remember is the broker's gin man is there for a bit with the,
dude,
that guy's pretty comical.
Yeah,
yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I thought he looked like a monochromatic riddler.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
There's some good,
like,
weird little characters running around in this,
you know,
which is how a Vegas movie should be.
Yeah,
Absolutely.
Lucy from Twin Peaks.
No, it's not Lucy from.
Oh, it's not?
For some reason, I thought it was her.
The potato waitress?
The potato waitress.
I could see that.
The potato waitress seems familiar.
It's the high pitch.
Yeah.
But he turns the guy to a slot machine.
Not that great in terms of effects.
It's just like, oh, no, like, it's like three coins come out.
I kind of want to see this guy.
You're going to shove a bunch of coins in your mouth.
Yeah.
Well, I'm more impressed with turning the guy into the slot machine.
And then it's like the Barney Gumbo, like, hey, this guy's paying.
out, which is great.
The really horrible thing
is when our
leprecon friend runs into
Fazio on the floor
and he's doing the rabbit trick
and the lepricon turns
the stuffed rabbit
into a pile of lepricon
shit that you guess it is
also green. It's mint
chocolate chip ice creamy shits every
day at 9 a.m.
Made fresh daily at 9 a.m.
He says, so I got a picture of this lepercon
getting out of bed at 9 a.m. and taking his shit
every day? It's awesome that he shits green. I think
it's a great detail. Is that all?
He makes, yeah, his blood's green. His fit is
like shamrock shake.
Yeah. When he's like foaming at the mouth.
It's so fun. Is he only eating
human flesh? What does he actually eat?
Well, you need fiber to get that
9 a.m. It's potatoes. I guess it's all potatoes.
Because once Scott gets bit by the
leprechaunity, starts becoming what he needs potatoes.
But I'm not seeing a lot of like, I'm not
seeing a lot of scenes of him just shoving potatoes.
in his mouth the way that's got this is a lean 90-minute movie Chris
maybe if it was a buck 45 you could have gotten it I'm gonna say
because he does he eats the ear and he seems to really enjoy eating the ear
yeah so I don't know I wonder what the shit is made up
human flesh mixed in with the potatoes yes average Irish diet
maybe works what's just one of those people that's like I don't like people
watching me eat I'm not going to be eating in this movie
sure make the other make the little asshole kid do the potato joke somehow
yeah eating
food while you're filming, like if you're filming,
especially in all that makeup, it's just, it's awful.
Dave Bartalos is like, no, I'm not going to spend another two hours.
And then like, whatever movie food you're eating, it's always going to be cool.
It's no good.
So, uh, stretch from TCM2 there.
What's now?
Loretta, uh, she's like, oh, she makes, um, uh, our Fabio guy here, uh, hip to the fact that
this kid's got all this money and he's just been sent upstairs, go up to the room and see
if you can get this gold coin.
I'm telling you, it's magic.
You get the gold coin.
We'll get the money.
We'll split the money and you can have the coin.
This is the thing.
And this guy,
this is the first of two times in this movie.
I'm like,
why are people not bolting their doors in this hotel room?
Like any time I get into a hotel,
you got to bolt that door.
I don't care if it's a nice hotel in the world.
OJ wishes that he were at this hotel.
I really do,
but do we see that there is a bolt available.
There has to be.
Great question.
I want you to take that back.
Yeah, it's just one of those
push locks where if you just put a pin on the other side
in the little hole, it just opens it.
I'm pushing that I'm moving the bathtub in front of it.
I don't care.
I'm not sleeping without security.
This is the hotel that the cartel buys a block for
when they're trying to dismember a bunch of bodies
at the same time.
This is not someplace where you go for vacations.
But, you know, so our friend here is,
drawing a bath for himself in his hotel room, which is, which is nice.
And, yeah, Fasio comes in.
He's snooping through bags and everything.
And then it's crazy because the kid realizes someone's in the hotel room.
And he plays a tape that he recorded of his uncle earlier that day.
And he goes, get out of here, you nosy little pervert.
I'm going to slap you silly.
Oh, that was Home Alone too.
Oh, yeah.
He does, however, smell money and say, money is good.
Yes, money's good.
Of course.
Money, money, money, delicious.
but he doesn't find the coin or anything.
Fonsi doesn't find the coin right now, right?
No.
No, he punches this kid in the stomach.
He throws the silk pajamas at Scott's face
and then runs to the door, turns around,
lights up like a flash bang, but doesn't disappear.
No, he like checks to make sure that it was cool.
And we just see him running down the hallway.
It's so, so, so.
This is 100% a Joe Bluth.
movies right here. The one
thing you can't do in this, whilst
you're doing this crime, is leave any
clues that you happen to be the hotel
magician. You know what I mean?
Like, that's the one thing you shouldn't do.
It really narrows it down.
He gave a flashbag and he said Al-A-Cazam.
Well, to be fair, Steve, you are in Las Vegas
and I mean, magicians are on the street.
They've got to be a diamond dozen. Yeah, everybody.
It is the magician capital of the world.
Everybody's a suspect kind of a situation.
There's that many magicians there.
I love him and Loretta doing crime together.
I kind of wish this had more of it,
especially their little cackles.
I love them.
Everyone is hamming it up.
Like the degrees of hamitude across the board
are completely perfect.
Everybody gets exactly what it is.
Like I feel like in the other two movies,
there's a couple actors.
You could be like,
those two are in one kind of movie,
but that guy's in a different movie.
Everybody in Lepricon 3 knows that they are in Lepricon 3,
and they know what is up the whole time.
And it's better for it.
Yeah.
Like, remember how boring the fucking first movie is on that farmhouse?
Yep.
Right.
It's just,
we're in Vegas here.
Even when we're not really in Vegas,
it's so much more fun.
And, like,
if you're listening and haven't seen it,
Fosio,
I guess for the level of kind of camp here,
Fosio reminds me a lot of Kyle McLaughlin in the Flintstones.
Yes.
Oh,
excellent.
It's that level of villain,
you know, it's so much fun.
That's so right.
Yeah, that's another dude that knew
yeah, I'm the villain in the fucking Flintstones
movie, act accordingly, yep.
So Fasio leaves, does the leprechaun come in
right after that?
Yes, this is where the bite happens.
This is my favorite scene
in any of these three movies
that I've seen so far.
This puppet going through this window.
After getting stabbed in the forehead.
Yes.
I watched it three times.
Lepercon three, I watched this scene three times.
Best moment of it.
the entire franchise thus far
Yep. Seriously. You know
the one-way ticket to my heart
is throwing a dummy out of window
and this thing, you see
it defenestrated. You see
it land. It is one single
thing. It's a dummy. They know it's a
dummy. They know we're going to know it's a dummy
and everybody loves it. It's amazing.
I guarantee you though, the
people in Las Vegas because they had no permits
for shit. Like, oh my God, that guy killed
himself. But again, Steve, it's
Las Vegas. It's like, oh, there goes another.
one.
Someone else
that just lost their house.
Okay.
All the cleanup crew.
We got another one.
But he does that like he goes,
huh,
next time I'll take the elevator.
Oh, yes.
Fuck yeah,
Lepricon.
But he does very specifically.
He bites Scott,
but I think he's bleeding.
And I think that's the thing.
It's like,
not just the bite,
but the blood.
It's like,
the blood.
Yes, it's disgusting.
The blood dribbles into his open wound.
It's amazing.
Oh, man.
Yeah, you'd think they would mention that
on the CD rock.
Yeah.
Leplug will turn you into a...
But, like, that's the one...
And they even...
They go on for so long and that's Cedar Rom.
At one point, they're like,
so, let's review.
And they, like, go back over all the information.
That's right, because Scott hears about the
wish thing in the review section.
Yeah.
Before the test.
But they don't even go into, like,
how lepreconism is spread.
Like, it's zombie rules
for leprecons, apparently.
Yeah.
And like, you would think that at least
that would be a big part of the lore,
but no, it's just the potatoes.
I would have thought, then,
that he would have at some point
became smaller
like that might be something like
that would be awesome right
they don't have a finger thing
yeah all we can do is kind of
do the same grease paint on the teeth
kind of a scenario
also I think part of it too is like
you know the
the charm of this franchise
or how it's set up
lepracons are played by little people
right and I feel like
you're shrinking this dude that's stolen valor
dude you can't be put that leopard
you just have someone else play him as a lepricon
Yeah, exactly.
Oh, that's Seinfeld.
There we go.
There, yep.
That's, yeah, and give him like the same
Aw, Shucks, golly G kind of attitude.
Yeah, I'll buy you're right.
But yeah, but Scott had previously already ordered, I guess, himself a steak.
You know, he made 100 grand.
You can go for that.
Is that what that is?
Yeah, it's a mystery meat.
It is a gray looking, yeah.
With a bad baked potato and he just starts honking on these.
And I guess the potato is cubed on the inside.
And did anyone else?
It's like this weird, like, it's a baked potato.
There's skin in it, but he can just remove people.
Yeah.
Do you know why, Steve?
What's that?
Because that's what happens when you leave a real life potato, like, just out on a set for fucking 12 hours.
Yeah, got it.
That potato was just in, in the middle of, like, breaking down, you know, into a puddle of nothing.
But yeah, so that's, it's that and it's also the, you're getting him.
It's kind of funny because he looks in the mirror.
and he's like, ah, like a teen wolf kind of thing.
Yes.
But all you can see is he's got like bad sideburns are starting and that's it.
He's like, oh my God, sideburns.
Where did they come from?
Yeah, he's a little botchy.
Yeah.
But he loves potatoes so much.
He has to go downstairs to the restaurant where he does order all the different kinds of potatoes.
I want them to push this all the way.
I want him going to the supermarket and like he taking potato chips off the fucking thing.
I just feel like somewhere.
at Trimark, the Irish
Anti-Defamation League, after
the liquor scene in
Lepricon 2, they got a letter
like, you know what? Fuck you, we're doubling down.
Next movie, I don't even care if it makes sense.
This motherfucker's going to love potatoes, too.
And not only is he going to love potatoes,
he's also going to sprout an Irish
accent out of nowhere, a bad, fake Irish
accent out of nowhere.
It's ridiculous. You know what we're going to do in the
fourth one? You look at me. You know what we're
going to do in the fourth one? He's going to cause a fucking
famine.
How do you like that?
You like that?
Why do you think they had to go
to space?
Find new planet to live up.
I'm excited to go to space with
Lepricon. I've never seen that one.
Oh, man.
It's something.
Is it better or worse than Jason X, in your
opinion? I like it more.
A hot take.
Interesting. Okay.
Yeah.
It doesn't mean it's better.
It's just, I think it's...
Is Cronenberg in it?
I, I, I, that's, it is lacking for a point, point, point, point Jason. No, but Jim Jarmish is. Oh, okay. I would love leprechaunuch on a kind of a down by law situation. You know what? It does have Miguel A. Nunez Jr., though. Oh, okay. Director. Yeah. So it's, it's John Lurie, Tom Waits, the lepracon in a, in a New Orleans jail is what you're saying? I like how you're, yes, the lepricon replaces Roberto Beniti because that's kind of the same energy. Exactly. It's just a living cartoon character. Uh,
Oh, James, what was I going to ask you about?
Oh, Miguel Nunez Jr. in that movie,
is his character killed off?
Do you want to get spoiled for Lepricon for in space?
Yeah, that's fine.
He survives, dude.
No.
Because I was going to say, then he would be an actor who was killed by both Leprikan
and Jason Borghys.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nope, he survives it.
Ooh, baby, hey, baby.
Fuck you.
I mean, I would just love to see Lepercon.
Con going long on like a rare Van Morrison LP that he had to buy for some down underground
place in New York City that he had to come back for Astor Weeks, the demo recording, you know.
And then he gets some potato and cigarettes.
Is that all you're going to eat is potato and cigarettes?
Yes.
Somewhere around here, Loretta is going back and forth with Mitch about whether or not this is
like a magic coin.
And she tries to use it to like make the table.
do its thing, and she doesn't understand
you have to make a wish with it.
Mitch takes it and
does say that he has a wish. He
wishes he had Tammy.
And then this is where
Tammy comes out of nowhere. He's instantly horny.
Just Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, every which way.
You guys are James and Chelsea. It's a sexy baby
thing. It's a sexy baby. It's chilling.
And I think this is again why she probably
retired from acting. It's like, this is my big
break and I don't want anyone to see it.
Some of the most bone-chilling dialogue in this, too, where he says, I'm going to start pumping now.
He has little asides that I had never heard before this latest viewing.
Because we had the captions on this time.
Yeah, he says something later about his heat-sick, heat-seeking moisture missile.
Yeah.
Heat-seeking moisture missile, I believe.
Let me check my notes.
Yeah, that is exactly what it was.
You want my heat-seeking moisture missile, don't you?
There's no way that.
I would not have written that damn.
You know what?
I don't think that Mr.
Trenchard Smith ever actually makes this actress kiss.
The guy playing Mitch though,
because whenever he goes for a kiss,
she's like,
oh,
I like it rough.
Like I like my mat.
And she starts like slapping him.
Which is weird.
Like, again,
it's not like the leprechaun's wishes
turned out to be evil or turned out to be bad.
So is she actually into beating people up?
Is that what I'm trying to get from this understanding?
Yeah.
Is she into doing baseball?
voice and slapping people, I don't...
Oh, dude, if I was Scott, I'd be like,
all right, this is not going to work.
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, after all the leprecha and shit, she's like,
finally we could be together,
smash yourself. You're like, no,
I'm good. No, no, no, Steve. I think
that plays right in this dude's
hand and heart and hard
on because he's like
a little boy man. He's a baby man.
Oh, Scott. Oh, she's like me.
Oh, got it. That makes total sense.
They're both baby people. Yeah.
No, I get that.
And he probably would like it to be called a moisture missile.
So, yeah, you would probably look at it.
Thank you.
Because it sounds like a Nerf gun now.
Yeah. That's true.
We're in Mitch's now apartment.
The idea of living at work is something that I can't, I can't sanction.
But it's like a museum in there.
Oh, Mitchie, it's like a museum.
I'm so glad that you're not fully committing to this voice.
She does because I know that you could do it.
I know I could, but it would be so uncomfortable and no one wants it.
It's fine.
Well, especially because we can see you do it.
That would be even more uncomfortable.
This is just audio.
No, no, no.
Right.
It would be like if you saw Mark Campbell do the Joker face to face, it would ruin everything.
You'd be horrified.
But so, yeah, she's getting really horned about it.
And I think at some point, that's right, Loretta realizes that the coin you need to wish.
So I think is it when she wishes that, that Teddy really?
No, she steals it.
Yeah, because I think Pazio did get it for it.
this is another this is another
this fucking Mitch is not
bolting the door because Loretta just
sneaks in with a key.
Yeah. Yeah.
She doesn't know why she has a key to his
personal room.
Yeah, I don't know about that either actually.
Maybe, you know, deleted scenes
she steals it from behind the desk or something. Also,
though, you know, here's how you know that this is a
really scuzzball casino.
Mitch, we're told the
fucking, you know, king of the castle
here at the Lucky Shamrock.
his office slash hotel room, whatever, his apartment,
it's only on the third floor.
This guy, he doesn't even have the penthouse suite.
Look at my kingdom, Las Vegas.
No, no, no, third floor.
He does have a monogrammed bed, though.
There's a big M.
That's pretty nice.
That's pretty nice.
Andrew, I'm sorry to say the third floor is where the penthouse suite is.
It's about where you end.
Yeah, got it.
Yeah, baby.
Penthouse.
the magazine.
The famous low-rise casino.
You can see all of Vegas, like the new
McDonald's and the old McDonald's.
It's the first
Nevada Starbucks right there, lady,
right there. I mean,
you just, having
a neon flash
art of a naked
woman stepping back and forth
like this, it is good to, I honestly,
I got to give it to him. It's good
to let the woman know you're going to
regret this right up to top.
right up front.
It just be like, oh, yeah.
Oh, this is who I am.
I need the horny art as well.
I can't just have everything else horny.
He lives in an apartment that's decorated like a sleazier version of the Max
from Saved by the Bell.
But Loretta steals the coin and then the wish falls apart.
He's like, come and get me, baby.
And she's like, get away from me and kicks him in the balls.
It's a great nut kick, fantastic stuff.
It's the only actually.
horrific moment in this movie
when you put yourself in her position
of like... She snaps out of it and it's like...
She's about to take her top off.
How did you get me here?
Yes. And that's the other thing
she doesn't ever get topless in this movie.
So, you know, I feel like
the director was doing the best he could
to take care of her of like, okay,
you can keep your clothes on and not make out with this guy.
Still not a good experience.
No, it probably wasn't great.
But he kicks him with the nuts
and he does the old, you'll never work at this town again.
And I'm like, if I'm leaving this guy's third story penthouse, I'm like, that probably doesn't ring true.
Like, you know, I'm like, I'm very nice talking shit.
Yep.
But I'm like, you know, I could probably get work after this.
Like, once I recover, I'll probably get work next door.
Yeah, exactly.
I think part of this too, because like, speaking of Freddie Krueger, you're writing in like this sort of Freddie Krueger TV bit here.
I think this is like, okay, this actress didn't want to get topless, but like, it's Leprechaun three, we need Shepton.
So, like, this other woman appears on the TV.
Yes, she's like, pornography.
Yes, dude.
She's like, oh, hey, Mitch, how's it going?
Oh, what's going on in the real world?
And he's like, is this TV talking to me?
Let's go with it.
Like, he's so ready to go.
It's like the ring, right?
Yeah, sexy Samara crawling out.
Yeah.
If the ring happened to Mitch, he'd be like,
come here, you want my heat-seeking moisture, don't you?
I don't want to see the dead horse so much.
No, not the woman cold in her hair.
No, the sexy girl.
That's the one.
She's running back into the TV and the tapes rewinding and ejecting itself.
No, no.
What I want to know is how do I subscribe to the Videodrome channel?
How do I get down on my basic chair of cable?
I need that.
Civic TV, the one you take to bed with you.
Now, at least this actress that they got for this role.
And she gets naked for a living for sure because her other roles include such.
Mouth jobs.
Pardon?
Okay, mouth jobs.
Which mouth jobs?
The original?
The exotic house of wax.
Sure.
Tickle frenzy, exclamation point.
I don't want to be tied up, exclamation point.
And her last rule, sadly, was all the way back in 2001.
Soft, soaked feet.
Written by Quinn Tarantino.
Yes.
Oh, actually, look at some of these barefoot revenge.
Does anyone, is there a colon, pimping peewee?
on any of these
I feel like if you are the gentleman
renting or buying
I don't want to be tied up
the FBI just gets a little ding
you know what I mean
it's like that's a sting operation
the FBI says
well you're gonna be
but yeah she comes out of the TV
welcome to prime time sir
she says
she comes out
and then now it's Warwick Davis
is time to shine
he's doing S&L bits
on the TV
oh dude yeah
in this sketch
he's playing a fake
you know, injury attorney or whatever.
Yeah, he's a psychic and...
Yeah, Miss Cleo psychic and then a pastor.
Yes, a televangelist.
Yes, that's my favorite one.
And it's cute because he's in the costume
and he's doing the lepricon voice in impression.
You know what I mean?
He's like doing a southern lepricon voice.
It's fun to watch.
But thankfully, James, you mentioned Miss Cleo
and I thought that's where this was going to go.
I thought it was going to be Warwick Davis doing like a call me now.
Yes.
But it is, it's definitely more of like,
Like him trying to do like a, this is a mystical kind of voice.
Because my lord, if he was trying to miss Cleo impression,
you thought the fucking Indian food line was bad.
It's more Greek.
He's going for Greek, I feel like, is the real, the big energy, you know, the Zorba.
He's going for it.
And they have Athena Cosmos at the end of it.
I was like, oh, yeah, there you go.
And like, you know that now the leprechaun is going to kill this guy, right?
Everybody, of course.
Yeah.
If you...
Who saw the robot coming?
The broken sex robot?
No, I didn't say it.
Where she turns into a Terminator, but still with the boobs.
It's like sex robot, it's like the beta of sex robots.
Does he use this?
He should use this.
This is a power.
This is a very important power, having Terminators at your will.
Like in the space one, does he like have them do a moonwalk to get something for him?
Like my shilling went out the goddamn window.
Get out there, Terminator.
Eric, you say that
the first thing I thought
is that there has been a breakdown
between the universe this year.
FX has come into this universe.
Right.
This feels like one of those fucking creatures
that he makes.
You mean the movie FX.
From the Netflix from the movie FXFX to Brian Brown.
Ask you great parents about FX.
Oh, man.
On this on this show eventually.
And of course Brian Denahey in that first one,
86. Is he in the second one as well?
Yes, indeed.
Oh, yeah.
Nice.
Oh, yeah.
What you also have to ask your parents about,
explain to me the illegal hookup joke that the leprechaun makes
because this is a stolen cable joke that this guy's making.
Yeah.
Because it's like this broken sex robot coming out the TV and he just goes,
illegal hookup.
And also, when it becomes a robot and Mitch has a line.
This is the part we rewound.
Yes, yeah, we rewound this and even recorded it.
and sent it to our group chat.
And no one responded this morning.
No one cared.
But she turns into a robot and he says something about like...
He goes, it's all a dream.
It's all just a bad dream.
And then...
It cuts to the wide of this robot with giant tits
sitting on top of him.
And that leprechaun shows up.
He kind of comes from off screen.
And the captions just say, speaking gibberish.
And he goes like,
how it's like a Star Wars critter.
He comes out yelling it
and we rewound that shit three times
because the caption just said speaking gibberish.
I don't think he's ever speaking gibberish.
He's always making noises, dude.
But that, see, it was like a whole line of just.
Yeah, those were more syllabic than as usual.
Like, aha.
Yeah.
Do you think if you took that audio, you should do this
because you recorded it.
Flip it and see if he's saying something backwards.
Oh, yeah.
Or do you learn, Bob, the little Satan is, well, God.
Well, be careful doing that.
You might want potatoes after.
words.
It's like an exorcist.
It's like, he's not speaking Irish.
He's speaking English.
That's right.
That happened.
This is really lame.
But in the days of like downloading the tiniest little sound bites off the internet.
Like late 90s downloading soundbites.
Like most of them were Arnold.
Yes.
Yeah, a lot of Arnold kind of things.
And there was one that it was like, because there was like a website we could get a bunch of them and download sound effects.
someone was like monster sound or whatever.
And I was like, I don't give monster sound a shot.
And I played it and I was like, all right, well,
it sounds like artificially slowed down, but what's going on here?
And I like, you know, played with it for a while.
I sped it up and then flipped it.
And it was just Jack Nicholson saying, here's Johnny.
And someone had just like flipped it and done all this modulation on it.
It was like, yeah, it's a monster sound.
Let's put this on the web.
Like, how accomplished did you feel doing that?
I bet you felt like you were from seven.
I was like, I am a fucking forensic detective right now.
Look at what I'm doing.
Look at what I'm uncovering.
They had a pilot called a blowout junior for Andrew, but I didn't work out.
I'm just like, it's a good scream.
It's a good scream.
Love Travolta at the end of that movie.
So Tommy or Tammy rather and Scott come up to the hotel room there and they find Mitch dead.
This dude's a fucking crispy critter.
It's awesome.
He's just cooked right up.
stands up for Tammy here because she's like, I'm leaving.
Oh my God. It's so terrible. He's like, no, we're going to
talk, we're going to teach that son of a bitch a lesson.
Because again, this guy doesn't understand.
Yeah. He's trying to be, no, but this guy's trying to be like he saw the jock in high school
stand up to somebody one time. And he thinks that's what he's going to do. But he doesn't
understand. He's in Las Vegas. There's dudes that are going to break his ankles, hang him out
a window. He doesn't understand. He's not just standing up for Tammy. He is standing up for
all women kind. He says, we have to make sure you never.
does this to anyone else.
You're right. You're right.
Very.
Oh, man. You just said that.
I would have loved the leprechaun to meet Shug Night.
That would have been fantastic.
Oh, man. Those are two creative minds that really should get together.
But so, yeah, they walk in and like, what's going?
Oh, someone. Oh, the fucking mafia guys follow them up.
Yes.
And Mitch is like, and the leprechaun are like in bed.
What the hell's going on here?
And like, we're making bad jokes here.
dudes, like, tell him leprechaun, like, you should see
a dermatologist or something, to which
the leprechaun responds by poking this dude's
eyeball out, amazing.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There's so
many good little one-lining quips in this
one. I think that this guy
who dies, he was the one
who turned into the slot machine earlier.
Yes. I think a key problem
with me on this movie is that, like,
the coin machine should have killed him.
When he gets that, that, like, he should be
dead after you, like, imagine you do that.
And then you're like, oh, can I
Can I eat food now?
Is it just going to turn into money if I eat a hamburger?
What's going to happen?
I fucking wish, dude.
Give me that.
Bigger, more important question, Chris Cabin.
Are any of these quarters coming out the other way?
That's also a possibility.
I puked up some quarters fine.
Will they be coming out the other way?
A question for the room.
What would you prefer out the mouth or out the ass with the quarters?
Out the mouth.
Out the mouth.
Out of the mouth.
How is that a question?
How dare you?
Why are you taking the other end?
You know, well, let me think.
We're talking about quarters, the largest coin with rigid edges.
And you don't know if they're coming out thin or wide.
The sideways job.
Yeah, that's tough.
Yeah.
All right, I'll go mouth fine.
You're going to go with mouth too.
That's good to hear.
I'm glad you've made that decision here.
He's beating these dudes up with the Shaleli too.
And there's a line here that I think it definitely means,
they meant it one way, but I'd like to think
you can mean it two ways. One of the guys
goes, what was Judy Garland really
like? He says, the leprechaun, of course,
referring to the munchkins and the Wizard of Oz.
But I'd also like to think somewhere
and maybe another time
that's also a really solid Mickey Rooney
jab too. Because they did a bunch
of movies together and that guy was tiny
as fuck too. But I think it's
to James's point earlier. They are
gay coded because I think there's this thing where like
oh, I don't like wearing
boxers. It makes me feel like a sissy. This
speaks feeling, it's such a sissy, sissy,
and then all of a sudden his last words about
Judy Garland, you know.
Right. And like when they get tired of waiting
for Mitch, he like grabs the
the mussely guy's hand and like
leads him away. It's just a very little
moments where it's like,
I don't know what they're doing here.
Not great, no. So Scott
also like with this leprechaun transformation
like they run out to the parking lot at this point
and he starts having like leprechaunism
related IBS. He just
has to like sit down to the parking and like,
Oh, owie, owie, owie, my tummy.
Maybe you just ate at one of the buffets there.
Oh, dude.
Is that peeling each shrimp?
Actually, if you're at this, the golden shamrock or whatever the fuck it's called,
the potatoes are probably your best bet food.
It's the lucky shamrock.
It's lucky shamrock.
You're not, there's no, there's no meat involved.
There's no greens either.
That's true.
An uncooked potato is just going to be a little starchy.
You're okay.
Well, unless, dude, you're getting like the loaded potato skins and you got like
baking to contend with some week old sour creams on it, maybe.
It looks like he's going for all of them on that platter.
It looks like he got every kind of potato they possibly could get him.
I mean, this woman comes in, she reels off a bunch of things like she's fucking
Bubba Gump.
She's like, we got French fraud taters here.
We got some loaded potato skins.
We got a baked potato.
We got mashed potatoes.
Salad, potato pancakes.
Yes.
I guess that's about it.
Coconut potato.
But yeah, it's kind of funny because she's like, Scott, your face.
She's like totally disgusted with the way he looks.
He's kind of, you know what he's kind of looking like too in this movie?
Is Dane Dahan in that second amazing Spider-Man where he's sort of gobblinging out?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thing with his face.
Yeah.
He looks like a green goblin that got left out the sun on a hot beach.
Not good.
Oh my gosh.
I want to see if this is what I was thinking of.
Oh, no.
like he looks like someone and I can't quite
it'll come to me exactly as we stop
It does feel I mean this is obvious because he is going through a transformation
But it was very freaked
Looking
Oh sure that was the first thought I had
Way higher makeup budget for that movie though
Jesus Christ
So she just we decided we have to go to the hospital because oh my God what's
Happened to Scott is that the next movement
No that does happen but first Loretta has to make the wish
to be beautiful.
I want the body of a stacked
20 year old, she said.
This is terrifying too.
Because at first she's just, you know, again, like,
it's the actress, whatever it is.
She's a good-looking woman.
She's got, like, short red hair now instead of the
bad blonde wig. Yeah, she's got like an
Annie Lennett. Yeah. All they did
is, it's like, to be beautiful.
All you got to do is take the wig off.
There you go.
Yeah. And new dress,
you know, that's about it.
She's like, but the dialogue is great.
I wish I was a man so I could hold myself down
and fuck me or whatever.
Screw myself into the ground.
Thank you very much.
That is a bizarre statement.
She's loving it.
Even when Fasio steals the coin and locks her in the room,
she's like, well, at least there are mirrors here.
Yeah, I can look at myself.
Right.
Enjoy it.
Like, okay, look good for you.
Here's where we have a little bit of like what actually is going on with like the power
of the wish and whatever, right?
Because like when Loretta steals the coin from Mitch, right,
right, the young woman becomes unhorny and freaks out.
So right here, when Loretta is in the dressing room and she's like,
I'd screw myself into the floor, yada, yada, yada, yada.
Fasio comes in and steals it from her.
And I figured she would then just turn back into how they had Loretta look at the beginning of the movie.
No, no, no.
No, no.
How about she turns into a Howard the Duck Monster?
Well, that's the leprechaun's doing.
If she hadn't come across him, could she have just gotten away with this new,
Because once you kind of lose possession of the coin, that's when you're not
I don't know because it's not like Scott lost all his money after he's
He is turning into a leper.
That was a different instance.
That was from getting bitten and then having blood, lepricon blood go into his open wound.
Those are different lepricon lore facts.
Listen to the CD.
But James, he's not even working on his own gold pot yet.
I mean, you would think you're this early on.
and you would want to start, at least get yourself a cauldron to work on here, man.
But we're burying the lead.
So the leprechaun shows up.
She's all sexy.
And I forget what the pun is.
Your boobs are big.
Your butt is small, but still you're in for quite the fall.
Well, that's one of them.
He also later says, a delightful little slut, but what about your butt?
Oh, man.
He said, lepricon's saying a delightful little slut.
It's great.
It's really something.
I would download that wave file on the internet.
And then it starts a bad rap song right after it.
Yeah.
And yeah, like, the plasticity.
She's looking like the, just the thin mint guy from Monty Python right here is what's going on.
Yeah, Mr. Creas.
The lips get really big.
The ass gets enormous.
I love when it busts the frame of the door.
Yes.
That's pretty great.
Yeah, I mean, her exploding.
It's so good.
It didn't have to be that forceful.
And I wonder if it wasn't even supposed to be that.
Because it feels like they did like a little too much.
But I love it.
Because she gets the worst death in the movie by a mile.
What do you really do to deserve that?
There's foam latex chunks flying everywhere.
He's got his little umbrella out.
I'm pretty sure that I ranked this.
I did a ranking video of the best kills in the series, the whole franchise.
I'm pretty sure I ranked this number one.
It has to be.
I don't know what else would top it.
Steve, may I suggest that the thing that highlights is she's a woman.
She might deserve the worst death.
They might think that right there.
But she was bilking everyone out of their money at the...
She is crooked.
Yeah, at the roulette table.
It's not unwarranted, I guess.
Yeah.
But then, yeah, that's not what she gets punished for.
She gets punished for wanting to have a tight ass.
Exactly.
That's so unfair.
Dude, leprechaun right here covered in all her, you know, bits and
whatnot. He goes,
that was quite a load to
explode. Uh-huh.
And I was like, you don't know what you're saying there.
That's fine. Or does he?
Fair enough.
But we go to the hospital, which looks an awful
lot like this casino.
I do like the slot machine
in the waiting room. The slot machine in the waiting room
is such a nice touch, because that is just
what fake is. Yep. Yeah.
And like, everyone is crooked. The doctor
and the nurse are like, hey, money.
And they're like. Once money, yeah,
promise of money and maybe more money.
Yeah, they flip on a fucking dime dude.
That's the doctors for you.
We're in America.
That's how it works.
It's funny because this is the second kind of jab at our health care system.
Because isn't it a, one of the mafia guys.
He's like, what do I want?
I don't know, like universal health care for all Americans.
Yes.
Yeah.
I love that.
It's so great.
This is a slasher comedy with a message with a heart.
It's fucking base.
It's based.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Lepercon.
Yeah.
These are the jokes that don't work for me.
The EKG and the, the printouts.
Oh, those are so bad.
It's just like fucking stamps, like little leprechaun stamp.
They went to a kindergarten around St. Patrick's Day and grabbed some materials.
It's like, I will use this for the movie, I guess.
Yeah.
This feels like the most padding segment of the film.
Although, I don't know.
If you have a doctor go, bring me his encephalogram and it's just a computer printout that says, fuck you.
That's good.
It's pretty.
Yeah, that one's good.
I like him dressing as a doctor to get in to the back.
He has a hairnet over his hat.
That's awesome.
What a detail.
I mean, he's like scrubbed in ready to go.
One of them says...
He's flipping through a clipboard like he knows what he's looking at.
It's so good.
It's so great.
I think the doctor says to Tommy, he's like, he asks if you have health insurance.
He says, do you have health insurance?
To which this dude replies, do you take?
Green Cross, which that was, that was brutal.
But we go down to the morgue.
We're guys eating, of course.
That's my favorite little horror movie trope is the like foreigner,
like morgue guy who's eating food.
Oh, yeah, because it's so like.
I always like it.
You know, I love that though, because it's like, this is my job.
It's just another day at the office.
Yeah, I'll put this sandwich on a corpse, no problem.
Been through this hamburger sandwich.
now the the uh like we said there's no sets here these are all real places and where they were
filming a lot of this movie was uh the since demolished but at the time of filming abandoned ambassador
hotel in l.A and the craziest part of this whole thing is this morgue was uh the refitted but
abandoned kitchen now history buffs can anyone tell me what happened in the
the kitchen of the ambassador
No fucking way.
Dude, this morgue is where
RFK was assassinated.
Oh my God.
Let me rest in peace.
Why are you filming
lepricorne movies here?
Sir Han,
Sir Han was a lepricon, I think.
Yeah.
I mean,
Sir Leprechaun.
I guess that is.
Oh, there it is.
Filming a lepricon,
that is a lasting blow
to the Kennedy name.
Wubbedon.
Yeah, yeah.
Is that more embarrassing or less
embarrassing than the new Robert Kennedy?
RFCG, yeah.
The commercial, the commercial in this
were about equal, I will say.
I can't believe this film
where RFK was shot,
are you fucking kidding me.
It's wild. It is wild.
The other one I remember from way back when
is the kitchen in Deep Impact
is also that one.
Is also that? Oh, yeah. Oh, that's funny.
Wow.
Yeah, the driveway in Goolies 3 is actually Dealey Plaza.
I don't know if you know.
It's not.
Is that on IMD?
Yeah.
Oh, Steve, that's crazy.
You just reminded me.
Critters in space.
It was just Ford's Theater.
Oh, I would have guessed.
Somehow it survived.
But she goes in the morgue at some point.
The attendant has been stabbed a bunch of times.
Leprocon gets the drop on her right here.
uses some magic to, of course,
strap her to a table. It's a leprechaun movie.
You've got to strap a woman to a table.
Oh, yeah. The magic of reverse footage.
Yeah, you know, give me those sweet, sweet in-camera practical effects.
I'll take every day over a computer.
Effective and cheap.
Oh, yeah, that bone saw is being carried by strings in the operating room.
For sure.
No vehicles in this movie.
Am I wrong?
I don't think he's driving around.
Oh, right?
Where's just a little car?
Yeah.
He's just a little car.
Okay, board.
Not in Vegas.
Traffic too bad, I guess.
Yeah.
He should have, you know what?
Here's the thing.
He should have at least had a shot.
You should have a shot of him.
He's in a limo.
Maybe it's the Elvis limo.
I wanted him to be friends with that Elvis impersonator for whatever reason.
But have Warwick standing up out of the sunroof, dance it.
I'm in Las Vegas.
Do that.
That's the vehicle play for, for,
Leprecon 3. Yeah, read, do the
the gnaz if I ruled the world video over
with leprechaun coming out the top of the limo. Do it all.
But yeah, the leprechaun
hazard captured. So Scott uses his own
now leprechaun magic to break free. This is he
saws himself out of the straps and knocks out
the crooked doctors and like another like a third
person and he goes, now that's what I call
managed health care. Like we were
really pushing for something
in this 1995 movie.
Tritzer Smith was like
Hillary Clinton's got some good ideas.
Exactly. That's right.
This was right around the time she was
trying for the whole health care thing and
biffed hard. You're totally right.
Interesting.
So yeah, they're all knocked out. This is where we get
Scott versus the lepricon.
Kind of great. Leprecon's using a fire
trap to kind of like keep this guy
away. Yes. You know, it's like
psychic power versus psychic
power almost, which is pretty cool.
Yeah.
And then meanwhile, Fasio is putting on a great show at the at the Shamrock there.
Oh, because he wishes to be the best magician in the world, which is dangerous if you've seen
11.
Yes.
I wish we saw him being a great magician here, but no.
Oh, maybe just what are you talking about?
His new tricks are very, very real.
Real.
It's my favorite line delivery.
I would love to show how snake like he could be.
He turns out of the big snake, baby.
Yes.
That'd be nice.
There we go.
Yeah, but he's doing a bit that he is pitched to Mitch at the beginning of the movie.
The Burning Beauty Bit, to which Mitch at the time is like, dude, this is the shittiest hotel in Las Vegas.
You can't do that.
There's no sprinklers up there.
Yeah, exactly.
Look, we got too many hauntings in this place already.
That's asking for one, that's one talk over the line, Mr.
too many hauntings not enough fire extinguishers
that's what's going on in this casino absolutely
but he has a line here
because he's like oh I'm taking someone from the audience
a volunteer I'm going to put them in this box
will she come out fine or medium well
and all the people are going ape shit
because he is the best magician in the world
something something we
I don't know how we wind up back at the casino
but we do get there
to interrupt his show right that's how this is the last
bit of it. Because he has the shilling, so leprechaun
once that's what he's. Yeah. Leprechaun
crashes the performance.
And nobody, this medallion
is never explained
why it's
why the lepriccon hates it.
Yeah, like what happens? I'm guessing
it's the thing that turns him into
yeah, I think if it's around his neck.
Oh, I see he's turned up to stone. I would
like to suggest that that
the thing in there is a ruby, it's red right there.
Uh-huh. You know who else
resides in a ruby?
Uh-huh.
Wishmaster.
Wishmaster.
So the thing that kills a leprechaun is actually Wishmaster.
Only a gin can contain a leprickon.
Only a gin can make him, you know, spit toothpaste out everywhere and almost die.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, that's how you do.
This is a very easy writing assignment, guys.
Come on.
I'm really liking this.
Yeah, a lot of potential.
Also, I mean, if you want to do something with this, you know, medallion, you have the end of this movie, you know, they're like,
what are we going to do with this medallion?
and then all of a sudden
Jackie Chan and Claire Forlani
come out of nowhere
and they're like
we'll take it off your hand
Dork I love it
It almost looks like the heart of Nambala
Yes yeah
From Chucky
Ooh okay yes she says
But yeah so they show up
And now we're fighting in front of the
This is when the leprechaun puts him
puts Fasio in the box
To cut in half with a chainsaw
We have some terrible editing here
Where you do not see the other woman
Get out of the box
So for a while I was like, is this, is Fasio laying on this woman?
Like, where did she go?
I forgot all about her.
She's seen earlier in the film gambling next to somebody when they're on a run.
I don't remember who.
This is a return character, the short-haired woman that gets in the box.
But then just vanishes.
So Fasio's in there.
I love Warwick with this little like Fisher-Price chainsaw.
It's like if you want to teach your kids, how to chop down.
a tree. Get him this starter chain saw
this little guy. It's so cute.
I love Fasio screaming
when the audience is like, yeah,
cut him in half. He's like, no, you love me.
No, no, no, no. Audience.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Yeah, it's the full on yes.
Totally. Totally. I would
I would like to think that this is a nod
to stretch it and the Texas
chainsaw, Matt. I would like
to think that. I don't know for sure.
Or maybe it was that scene
in the radio station.
It's a pretty good.
Gore effect is terrible.
I like showing it.
And then you see that all the, all the blooded guts and so on and so forth.
But I got to say, the guy playing Fasio right here.
Yeah, maybe he could have dated Elaine Benis.
But him being sought in half, I'm not buying it.
It's a lot of like, ow, I'm being killed.
Yeah.
There's no one care?
I'm like, I don't know, man.
I do like the dripping guts when he separates it.
Yes.
That's pretty great.
Yes.
Yeah.
He wants to be at Caesar's Palace and unfortunately he's not.
Well, this is Lepricon in the last, like, 10 minutes of this movie throws out another rule here where he's like, oh, nice try, one wish per person.
I was like, since fucking when?
No, the one wish per person makes sense because I think they say for each shilling you get a wish.
But earlier, they try to wish him at the bottom of the ocean.
And that's when he introduces all of a sudden, oh, you know what they say.
Leoprcon's gold can't do him any harm.
And I was like, yeah, that was my since when moment.
we all need to look at this
I want to see the folklore CD ROM
Barry I want to watch it backwards and forwards
I want to really find this thing
Yeah I love the yes
This is when he used the flamethrower on the pot of gold
Which just makes it disappear
It just disappears
And then it makes
It causes leprechaun to light on
This is pretty good
Right
This is pretty good
Where the lepricon goes on fire
And he's being thrown around the air
This is after the Star Wars thing though
when leprechauns like come to the green side
and then the music even does like a little
Star Wars real. And then Scott's like, no, I'll never
be like, like they take it and run with it.
That's amazing. Yeah, Scott fighting the dark side of
Irish culture here.
But you're right. Leprechauns like saying that they're brothers.
We should be on this together. We'll split the gold
or whatever. Yeah, again, you know,
what is it? The first one, he gets blown up. That's really
fucking funny in the well.
whatever. But this is great. Flying through the air on fire.
Great stunt person. He turns it to a Skellington.
Yeah. Fire doesn't destroy gold, though, is what I
understand. Well, no, yeah, you're right, Steve. You're right. Shit, you'd get, you know,
downtown and 47th Street. Like, that's the magic gold, my friend.
Fire will cut right through that. Don't worry about it. Or they were
gold-covered chocolate coins. And then they were melted down.
I buy it. I like that. I like that.
that during the panic of
everyone running away from this scene,
people just like jump
onto tables and into fountains
inexplicably. Oh my gosh, there's a guy
that goes flying onto a table that seemed like
it was a very real table
and had no give at all. It looks so painful. He bounced off that
thing. I think that's, this is
where like really trying to shove the
Las Vegas, all the sin and the departure. Look
at you people. Look what you had
wrought. Yeah.
Et cetera.
So, yeah, Scott turns back to normal.
We start making out out in front of the casino.
Pretty nice.
And she keeps this last coin.
And I'm like, ooh, sequel set up.
Here we go.
And she's like, I don't know.
I have everything I want.
No job.
This 18-year-old boyfriend, I guess.
Yeah, you got everything you want, sweetheart.
Well, yeah.
We should say that when the lepricod dies,
he does give the skeleton gives the finger.
am I wrong there?
Like, as the
he's a little skeleton
and he's like crawling away
and I think at the end
he just kind of gives the finger
if I'm...
He definitely gives the finger
when he's surfing away
in the morgue
on the little table.
I think there's a little call back
here, a little skeleton finger
which is kind of fun.
That's good.
That's nice.
Yeah, but I do, yes,
I would hold onto that coin
or sell it.
You know what I mean?
Hocket.
Yeah.
You probably get more
than an iPod Nano.
And then yeah,
Holy fuck, you just end this movie with this weaner doing a terrible Humphrey Bogart impression.
Good Lord.
Rough stuff.
This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship is the line.
Sweetheart.
She's just like, oh shit.
Yeah, totally.
Hey, Tommy, remember when I threw that coin away and said that I have everything I want?
That was an error.
As they walk off screen, you hear him go, I'll have what she's having.
It just turns into that regal cinema.
Yeah, it's all happening.
Oh, yeah, let's call a cab and get out of here.
Hey, you go!
And you know what's great?
With this $100,000, I can take as many improv classes as I want.
And she's like, kill me now.
You know, honestly, Steve, $100,000, it's not as many improv classes as you think of my kids.
I think it's like six.
Yeah.
Yeah, amazing fucking movie.
That's the end of it.
We'll go around the horn here.
Final thoughts.
We'll start with our Steve.
guest this week. James and
Chelsea, final thoughts on Lepricon
3? 10 out of 10. I
said in the email, this is the platonic
ideal of a leprechaun movie.
It's everything you want
in a leprechaun movie. It's funny.
It's got good kills. It's in Vegas.
Yeah, we've just been waiting to
get to this one, honestly,
doing this running series with
you guys. And the thing is, is this
third lepricon movie, like
compared to the first two, if I'm
having like a, like either
or a bad movie night or kind of like
a, you know, so bad it's good movie night.
Right.
This is such a good one for that
because you don't need the context
of any of the other ones.
And it's entertaining the whole time, you know?
Yeah.
It's so good.
Yes.
Love it.
James, do you have,
or do either of you have a ranking of this franchise
and where is this?
This is number one.
It is number one.
Okay.
This is number one.
Other, like, other top ones.
I love in the hood.
I honestly, from here on out, it's pretty fucking good, except for the origins.
That's the WW1. That's the WW1. That sucks.
Okay.
But the sci-fi one that came out a few years ago, I kind of like.
In Space is actually just like this one, only even weirder.
And in space.
And in space.
So I'm excited for that.
And then you will allow me not to take your word for it, right?
That is completely fine.
That is 100% fine for you to disregard.
my opinion entirely bought it happens god damn steve no our guest this week i know i love
the best but they love these movies it's look it's when our job is getting so deep into a genre i
think our tolerance for stupid shit is so weird and like off like our our calibrations are all
fucked up so i get it yeah but i also see i love the saw we love the saw franchise
We love this. And every time
we listen to you guys, we're like, they don't get it.
And you're right, we indeed do not.
But James, if what you're saying is
true and Steve, fuck you, I am
going to find out.
Because I finally had
fun with one of these. I'll just
go get my final thoughts out of the way now.
Yeah, the other two were kind of whatever.
The Anniston of it all with that first one
was kind of a neat watch shit, but
kind of whatever about those. This,
hell yeah. If this is the gear that
most of these movies stay in.
I'll get fucking stupid. I'll get so stupid.
Your fucking head will spin. Absolutely.
Steve Sadek, your final thoughts.
Yeah, I really like this one. It was fun.
It's definitely my favorite leprechaun thus far.
And I do, I've seen bits of the hood.
The hood is really silly.
I've never seen any of in space.
I'm kind of excited because I think I'm kind of holding hope,
holding space in my heart for in space to be my favorite.
So we'll see how that goes.
But this one is a pretty hard act to follow.
I do like how silly.
it gets. I do. Could have used
a couple more kills, but that's just me.
Chris Cabin.
What do you fucking think?
Yeah, it could have used a lot more kills.
It could have a fucking flood of kills.
Give me the fucking kills back here, people.
Like, the one fucking kill that
was memorable is, I mean, James,
I do believe this
that the, like, the
Fritz the cat villain that
they turn stretch into.
I guess that is
creative. I give him that, I guess.
Our crumb would be all.
He would.
Peacar and Crum would have loved that shit.
He'd be getting out his heat-seeking moisture
missile.
Him and P-Car would have loved that shit, of course.
And like, I do appreciate that.
But I also just appreciate some good kills
and, like, waiting for an hour for this thing to start up, really.
I was just kind of like, okay.
Like, I...
Oh, you sound like my audience.
Hello.
Chris is a menace in the Dead Meat Common section.
Just a demon.
You know, I do like
that it's, I like the laid back
vibe more here. I like that. It's not
so serious. I do appreciate that.
But it didn't really give me what I was looking for.
And again, the kills, please.
I would like the kills.
Are we in this Overlook hotel for two hours
just for one guy to get asked
to be stumbled? When Kubrick
fucking directs a leprechaun movie.
Oh my God. Oh, my gosh.
Oh, we miss out on that. Someday AI
will allow us.
Oh, man. Yeah.
That's what it lights out for this guy.
Eric Siska, go ahead.
Final word.
Yes.
You know, I see where you're all coming from.
I think this is my favorite so far of these.
I haven't watched the other ones yet.
I'm kind of excited to now, but there's, it's got, I'm still not a fan of the franchise.
I'm like Steve, I'm holding out hope for in space.
I think that's a very interesting proposal for the leprecha.
So that's my thoughts.
I still had fun watching it, but I kind of see where Chris is coming.
I would have liked a little bit more from it.
Fair enough.
Remembering correctly.
I think in space has more focused on some weird kills.
I think so.
And also, when I first watched and reviews, not first watched them, I watched them as a kid.
But when I first reviewed them as an adult in 2018, I hated them.
And it was a notorious thing.
But by the end of the series, I had succumbed to Stockholm syndrome and was like, actually,
love these movies. And now I really
love them. And we were worried, we're
like, if they don't like Leprechaun 3, that's it.
Like, they're not going to like any
of these. Like, this is peak leprechaun.
So it's great to hear Andrew's
enthusiasm and Eric and Steve's
curiosity. And that gives me hope.
I do think you guys will like the characters
in the hood. I just remember
them being really, they're endearing.
They feel more like real people
than any of these other ones.
Sensitively.
Surprisingly, honestly, it's not the worst.
I just think the kids in it are really, really good.
Because it's like teenage boys and I like them more.
Yeah.
Yeah. There we go.
Well, that is going to do it for this epricom.
This, I was it for this lepracons.
I mean, it was it for this lepracons because.
I firmly believe they're all different lepracons in all of these movies.
No, that's going to do it for this episode on Lepricon 3,
which definitely should have been Lepricon 3.
Colin Viva Las Vegas. Let's just get that out there. That's a missed opportunity.
But James and Chelsea, thanks so much for coming on. Plug your stuff. What do you guys got coming up?
This is going to air in only a couple weeks. So anything, March and onward conventions, whatever?
Yeah. I mean, we're always on Dead Meat on YouTube and wherever podcast can be found on March 3rd, we released the third annual Dead Meat Horror Awards.
We are hard at work on that right now, but some really fun presenters in there.
We have the Howie Mandel opening up the show.
which is a lot of fun.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, that's a good.
Yep.
There might be some little, little gremlins.
Might be some gremlins making,
it's going to be very silly.
So definitely check that out.
We're always proud of the horror Royal Rumble that we do.
Now every January, we just did the second one where we create,
Chelsea creates 30 horror characters in a WWD game and then we commentate over a computer run Royal Rumble.
That one always knocks my socks off that you guys can do that.
remember customizing like one character in that first like raw game and like on n64 like no mercy
or something yeah it took fucking ages and you get all these characters it's unbelievable making the
characters becomes my full-time job a couple weeks before we put that together i don't hate it but yeah
