Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:14 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
Starting point is 00:01:11 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.
Starting point is 00:01:44 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
Starting point is 00:02:27 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.
Starting point is 00:02:45 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.
Starting point is 00:03:07 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.
Starting point is 00:03:33 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.
Starting point is 00:03:49 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.
Starting point is 00:04:08 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
Starting point is 00:04:31 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.
Starting point is 00:04:49 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
Starting point is 00:05:07 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.
Starting point is 00:05:20 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
Starting point is 00:05:36 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.
Starting point is 00:05:54 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
Starting point is 00:06:05 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?
Starting point is 00:06:14 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
Starting point is 00:06:28 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.
Starting point is 00:06:45 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
Starting point is 00:07:01 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
Starting point is 00:07:17 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
Starting point is 00:07:36 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
Starting point is 00:07:55 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,
Starting point is 00:08:13 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.
Starting point is 00:08:31 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.
Starting point is 00:08:59 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.
Starting point is 00:09:27 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.
Starting point is 00:09:53 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.
Starting point is 00:10:15 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
Starting point is 00:10:32 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.
Starting point is 00:10:49 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.
Starting point is 00:11:09 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.
Starting point is 00:11:24 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.
Starting point is 00:11:43 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?
Starting point is 00:11:56 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.
Starting point is 00:12:07 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.
Starting point is 00:12:22 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.
Starting point is 00:12:40 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
Starting point is 00:12:56 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.
Starting point is 00:13:16 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.
Starting point is 00:13:27 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?
Starting point is 00:13:36 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
Starting point is 00:13:47 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
Starting point is 00:13:59 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
Starting point is 00:14:13 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.
Starting point is 00:14:29 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,
Starting point is 00:14:44 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?
Starting point is 00:14:55 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.
Starting point is 00:15:08 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?
Starting point is 00:15:34 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
Starting point is 00:15:56 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.
Starting point is 00:16:12 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.
Starting point is 00:16:25 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.
Starting point is 00:16:41 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.
Starting point is 00:16:56 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.
Starting point is 00:17:13 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.
Starting point is 00:17:31 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
Starting point is 00:17:53 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.
Starting point is 00:18:09 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.
Starting point is 00:18:26 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.
Starting point is 00:18:39 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.
Starting point is 00:18:50 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.
Starting point is 00:19:06 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?
Starting point is 00:19:18 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.
Starting point is 00:19:28 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.
Starting point is 00:19:40 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.
Starting point is 00:19:59 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.
Starting point is 00:20:12 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.
Starting point is 00:20:29 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
Starting point is 00:20:46 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.
Starting point is 00:21:05 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.
Starting point is 00:21:22 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.
Starting point is 00:21:35 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.
Starting point is 00:21:56 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
Starting point is 00:22:14 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
Starting point is 00:22:33 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
Starting point is 00:22:48 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
Starting point is 00:23:05 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?
Starting point is 00:23:29 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.
Starting point is 00:23:51 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.
Starting point is 00:24:04 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.
Starting point is 00:24:33 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.
Starting point is 00:24:52 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.
Starting point is 00:25:09 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
Starting point is 00:25:25 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
Starting point is 00:25:44 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.
Starting point is 00:26:00 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,
Starting point is 00:26:15 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.
Starting point is 00:26:39 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?
Starting point is 00:26:55 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.
Starting point is 00:27:15 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.
Starting point is 00:27:31 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.
Starting point is 00:27:51 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.
Starting point is 00:28:12 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.
Starting point is 00:28:21 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?
Starting point is 00:28:42 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.
Starting point is 00:29:03 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
Starting point is 00:29:25 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.
Starting point is 00:29:54 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.
Starting point is 00:30:06 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.
Starting point is 00:30:22 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
Starting point is 00:30:38 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
Starting point is 00:30:50 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.
Starting point is 00:31:06 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
Starting point is 00:31:41 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,
Starting point is 00:31:57 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
Starting point is 00:32:19 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.
Starting point is 00:32:45 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?
Starting point is 00:32:55 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.
Starting point is 00:33:14 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.
Starting point is 00:33:29 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.
Starting point is 00:33:47 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.
Starting point is 00:34:07 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
Starting point is 00:34:23 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
Starting point is 00:34:38 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.
Starting point is 00:34:51 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.
Starting point is 00:35:11 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.
Starting point is 00:35:28 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.
Starting point is 00:36:04 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
Starting point is 00:36:20 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,
Starting point is 00:36:38 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.
Starting point is 00:36:56 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
Starting point is 00:37:06 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
Starting point is 00:37:15 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
Starting point is 00:37:24 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.
Starting point is 00:37:34 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,
Starting point is 00:37:45 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,
Starting point is 00:38:03 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.
Starting point is 00:38:16 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
Starting point is 00:38:32 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
Starting point is 00:38:48 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.
Starting point is 00:39:02 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%
Starting point is 00:39:18 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.
Starting point is 00:39:33 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
Starting point is 00:39:57 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.
Starting point is 00:40:16 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.
Starting point is 00:40:37 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.
Starting point is 00:40:59 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.
Starting point is 00:41:16 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.
Starting point is 00:41:33 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.
Starting point is 00:41:55 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,
Starting point is 00:42:11 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.
Starting point is 00:42:25 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
Starting point is 00:42:35 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.
Starting point is 00:42:50 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.
Starting point is 00:43:02 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
Starting point is 00:43:25 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
Starting point is 00:43:38 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
Starting point is 00:43:56 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.
Starting point is 00:44:12 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.
Starting point is 00:44:25 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
Starting point is 00:44:39 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
Starting point is 00:44:54 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,
Starting point is 00:45:07 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.
Starting point is 00:45:18 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
Starting point is 00:45:38 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
Starting point is 00:46:06 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
Starting point is 00:46:23 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,
Starting point is 00:46:40 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.
Starting point is 00:47:07 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.
Starting point is 00:47:49 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
Starting point is 00:48:03 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.
Starting point is 00:48:22 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,
Starting point is 00:48:38 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
Starting point is 00:49:13 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
Starting point is 00:49:30 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
Starting point is 00:49:41 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,
Starting point is 00:49:52 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,
Starting point is 00:50:05 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.
Starting point is 00:50:15 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.
Starting point is 00:50:24 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.
Starting point is 00:50:36 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,
Starting point is 00:50:45 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?
Starting point is 00:51:01 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
Starting point is 00:51:21 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
Starting point is 00:51:39 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
Starting point is 00:51:55 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.
Starting point is 00:52:10 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,
Starting point is 00:52:39 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.
Starting point is 00:53:04 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.
Starting point is 00:53:18 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
Starting point is 00:53:33 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
Starting point is 00:54:00 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.
Starting point is 00:54:29 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.
Starting point is 00:54:50 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.
Starting point is 00:55:07 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
Starting point is 00:55:22 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
Starting point is 00:55:38 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.
Starting point is 00:55:57 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.
Starting point is 00:56:14 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
Starting point is 00:56:34 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
Starting point is 00:56:52 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
Starting point is 00:57:16 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.
Starting point is 00:57:32 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?
Starting point is 00:57:47 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.
Starting point is 00:58:05 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
Starting point is 00:58:28 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.
Starting point is 00:58:50 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.
Starting point is 00:59:03 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...
Starting point is 00:59:17 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.
Starting point is 00:59:33 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
Starting point is 00:59:51 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
Starting point is 01:00:11 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.
Starting point is 01:00:33 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.
Starting point is 01:00:53 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.
Starting point is 01:01:03 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.
Starting point is 01:01:21 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.
Starting point is 01:01:41 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.
Starting point is 01:01:59 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
Starting point is 01:02:26 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.
Starting point is 01:02:51 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
Starting point is 01:03:10 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
Starting point is 01:03:25 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.
Starting point is 01:03:40 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.
Starting point is 01:03:52 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.
Starting point is 01:04:12 but this guy looks very particular. He looks like Taco. Like, uh, yes. Yeah. Like putting on the Ritz guy. Yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 01:04:19 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.
Starting point is 01:04:31 Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. I thought he looked like a monochromatic riddler. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. There's some good,
Starting point is 01:04:37 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.
Starting point is 01:04:45 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.
Starting point is 01:04:55 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.
Starting point is 01:05:11 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
Starting point is 01:05:27 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
Starting point is 01:05:43 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
Starting point is 01:06:01 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
Starting point is 01:06:22 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.
Starting point is 01:06:46 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.
Starting point is 01:07:12 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,
Starting point is 01:07:22 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.
Starting point is 01:07:40 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.
Starting point is 01:07:56 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.
Starting point is 01:08:20 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.
Starting point is 01:08:38 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,
Starting point is 01:08:58 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
Starting point is 01:09:17 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.
Starting point is 01:09:35 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.
Starting point is 01:09:52 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.
Starting point is 01:10:07 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,
Starting point is 01:10:21 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.
Starting point is 01:10:36 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
Starting point is 01:10:49 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.
Starting point is 01:11:02 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
Starting point is 01:11:16 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
Starting point is 01:11:32 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.
Starting point is 01:11:46 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.
Starting point is 01:11:56 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,
Starting point is 01:12:02 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.
Starting point is 01:12:10 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
Starting point is 01:12:22 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.
Starting point is 01:12:34 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
Starting point is 01:12:46 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
Starting point is 01:13:01 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.
Starting point is 01:13:14 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?
Starting point is 01:13:27 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.
Starting point is 01:13:46 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.
Starting point is 01:14:13 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.
Starting point is 01:14:30 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.
Starting point is 01:14:50 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
Starting point is 01:15:08 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
Starting point is 01:15:19 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.
Starting point is 01:15:34 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?
Starting point is 01:16:19 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.
Starting point is 01:16:34 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
Starting point is 01:17:04 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
Starting point is 01:17:21 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.
Starting point is 01:17:45 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?
Starting point is 01:18:06 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,
Starting point is 01:18:19 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.
Starting point is 01:18:30 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?
Starting point is 01:18:43 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.
Starting point is 01:18:59 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.
Starting point is 01:19:14 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.
Starting point is 01:19:35 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.
Starting point is 01:19:48 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
Starting point is 01:20:11 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
Starting point is 01:20:25 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.
Starting point is 01:20:46 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.
Starting point is 01:21:01 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,
Starting point is 01:21:14 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
Starting point is 01:21:30 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.
Starting point is 01:21:46 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...
Starting point is 01:22:07 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.
Starting point is 01:22:24 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.
Starting point is 01:22:41 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?
Starting point is 01:23:09 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,
Starting point is 01:23:24 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?
Starting point is 01:23:43 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.
Starting point is 01:24:01 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.
Starting point is 01:24:20 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
Starting point is 01:24:36 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
Starting point is 01:24:49 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
Starting point is 01:24:59 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?
Starting point is 01:25:16 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.
Starting point is 01:25:34 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?
Starting point is 01:25:56 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.
Starting point is 01:26:13 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
Starting point is 01:26:30 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.
Starting point is 01:26:43 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.
Starting point is 01:26:57 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.
Starting point is 01:27:16 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.
Starting point is 01:27:36 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,
Starting point is 01:27:51 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.
Starting point is 01:28:11 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.
Starting point is 01:28:24 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.
Starting point is 01:28:38 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.
Starting point is 01:29:00 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.
Starting point is 01:29:20 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.
Starting point is 01:29:43 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.
Starting point is 01:30:02 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.
Starting point is 01:30:28 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.
Starting point is 01:30:48 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
Starting point is 01:31:05 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
Starting point is 01:31:21 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.
Starting point is 01:31:38 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.
Starting point is 01:31:52 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.
Starting point is 01:32:11 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,
Starting point is 01:32:22 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
Starting point is 01:32:38 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,
Starting point is 01:32:54 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.
Starting point is 01:33:10 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.
Starting point is 01:33:27 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.
Starting point is 01:33:44 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
Starting point is 01:34:04 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.
Starting point is 01:34:21 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.
Starting point is 01:34:42 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
Starting point is 01:34:56 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
Starting point is 01:35:17 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.
Starting point is 01:35:32 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.
Starting point is 01:35:46 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,
Starting point is 01:36:02 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,
Starting point is 01:36:20 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?
Starting point is 01:36:43 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.
Starting point is 01:37:13 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.
Starting point is 01:37:30 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.
Starting point is 01:37:47 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.
Starting point is 01:38:10 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.
Starting point is 01:38:30 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.
Starting point is 01:38:48 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.
Starting point is 01:39:05 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,
Starting point is 01:39:21 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
Starting point is 01:39:37 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.
Starting point is 01:39:54 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.
Starting point is 01:40:08 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.
Starting point is 01:40:17 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.
Starting point is 01:40:35 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.
Starting point is 01:40:53 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.
Starting point is 01:41:08 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.
Starting point is 01:41:37 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
Starting point is 01:42:03 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.
Starting point is 01:42:29 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.
Starting point is 01:42:39 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?
Starting point is 01:42:53 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
Starting point is 01:43:11 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?
Starting point is 01:43:29 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.
Starting point is 01:43:43 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.
Starting point is 01:44:03 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?
Starting point is 01:44:19 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.
Starting point is 01:44:29 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.
Starting point is 01:44:45 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
Starting point is 01:45:08 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.
Starting point is 01:45:26 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
Starting point is 01:45:42 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.
Starting point is 01:46:03 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.
Starting point is 01:46:21 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.
Starting point is 01:46:41 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
Starting point is 01:47:02 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.
Starting point is 01:47:21 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
Starting point is 01:47:36 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.
Starting point is 01:47:50 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.
Starting point is 01:48:07 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
Starting point is 01:48:21 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
Starting point is 01:48:35 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.
Starting point is 01:48:57 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.
Starting point is 01:49:18 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
Starting point is 01:49:33 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.
Starting point is 01:49:47 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.
Starting point is 01:50:05 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?
Starting point is 01:50:24 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
Starting point is 01:50:48 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
Starting point is 01:51:03 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
Starting point is 01:51:18 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.
Starting point is 01:51:40 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.
Starting point is 01:52:10 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
Starting point is 01:52:28 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.
Starting point is 01:52:47 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.
Starting point is 01:53:02 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
Starting point is 01:53:14 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
Starting point is 01:53:24 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?
Starting point is 01:53:31 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.
Starting point is 01:53:47 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.
Starting point is 01:54:08 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.
Starting point is 01:54:31 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
Starting point is 01:54:42 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,
Starting point is 01:54:58 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.
Starting point is 01:55:13 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.
Starting point is 01:55:25 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.
Starting point is 01:55:36 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.
Starting point is 01:55:58 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
Starting point is 01:56:38 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
Starting point is 01:56:56 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.
Starting point is 01:57:12 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,
Starting point is 01:57:30 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?
Starting point is 01:57:46 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
Starting point is 01:58:02 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.
Starting point is 01:58:18 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.
Starting point is 01:58:34 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.
Starting point is 01:58:50 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.
Starting point is 01:59:05 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.
Starting point is 01:59:20 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.
Starting point is 01:59:44 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
Starting point is 02:00:10 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
Starting point is 02:00:30 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.
Starting point is 02:00:46 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.
