POMAYOR. BORILEEN SULLILEEN SULLIV. BORILEEN SULLIV. BORN-D-D-D-E-BOR. So, I'm going to be able to be. Well, well, well, what's going on, everybody? Welcome to W.H.M. Mailbag. My name is Andrew Jupin.

In a few minutes, I'm going to bring in some cool dudes to help me read some letters that you, possibly, I don't know if you mean you directly, but possibly you wrote in and we're going to read it on the air. And, you know, maybe if it's a question, we're going to answer it, do our damnedest to answer it. It's a letter about a weird, embarrassing story where, probably going to make fun of it and then use that story to piggyback on some personal memories of our own, which will then also make fun of. And that's what we do here on

WHM Mailbag. I love to see the chat is rocking and rolling. Hello, Fortune's Daughter. I'm so Rachel, Kevin Lynch, our good buddy Bucyrus 87, of course. Pete Robles, Wesley Hall. Oh, yeah. Thank you one and all for tuning in this fine evening. Now let's bring in my buds here. First up, It's been away for quite some time and some suspected, possibly deceased. But I'm proud to report this evening, Stephen Sadek returns to the live stream. Hey, buddy.

Hello, how's it going? Good man. And I'm dead serious, by the way, presumed dead. It's this, I turned 40, which is about the same thing. Yes, no, I was in Paris for a little while. It was super fun. My wife and I went. It was, you know, it was honestly for a,

for a little poor boy from the, the Bronx. It was like Richard Morse in Mad Men would say he's an astronaut. Like me being in Paris is like a man going to the moon. So I felt. Yeah. It took millennia, but it finally

happened. Man went on the moon. You went to a city overseas. Exactly. Had a good time, I assume. Canada doesn't count, ladies gentlemen, sorry. It's, it's well, that's not overseas at all. It's just up for us. Yeah, exactly. It's just up. Overseas for some. Exactly.

uh not us uh anyway welcome back dude we're going to bring in uh our other bud here this dude he's been reading up a storm since you've been gone mr chris cabin and on top of that you're dirty rotten son of a bitch if you like the parent trap oh wait what kind of son of a bitch would do this what kind of son of a bitch would enjoy a movie where two people who hate each other justifiably are forced back together who would want these kind of terrible things to happen You know what, Dave Kerr occasionally, he nails it. Occasionally he really gets it. That sounds about right.

You know, not all the time, but pretty good. Pretty good. You getting some post-dinner reading in there, buddy? Yeah, I just finished a fish stew. So, whoa, look at you. Fucking Mr. Fish stew over here. Oh, it's easy enough. You just follow the instructions on the New York Times.

What kind of fish you put in there? This was shrimp. I still count that as fish, but, but we- fucking liar. I know. How dirty of me. We do a lot of cods around here. Cod family.

It's easy. They sell it in like bulk everywhere. So it's like and wild caught. So that's nice. You can get some cod around here really. Yeah. Good stuff. Had some linguine and clam sauce myself, buddy.

Also using the New York Times food app. See? Yeah. Easy enough. My internal clock is still so fucked. We're eating dinner after this. You know what I mean? It's like, you know what?

Just we're just, we're going to keep that going. going for a little while longer. Is it cheese? Are you going back to strictly to a soft cheese diet even though you're still here? I got to tell you one thing that I missed about the good old US of A is a good old fashioned

regular degular American drip coffee. It's espresso, this, and that and then an Americano. Maricano. And it's like great, but what about a coffee? Coffee? You know what a cafe? Oh, and heaven for bed.

you're looking for ice in that fucker, dude. They'll throw you right out of the fucking country line. Just just watch it, watch it, watch it. Dennis Lear is going to come for our ass. He's going to, he will bust down the door like the Kool-Aid man, and he will come for all of our asses. But just a 16-ounce regular coffee that has regularness built into every ounce of it. I love it.

It was something I admit, I mean, we've all been there at this point, right? Yeah. And I, I drank so many fucking Americanos over there. there. And like, I tried to do, I tried to do the espresso thing. It's just not my thing. Yeah, exactly. It's not there. I'm not there yet. Well, you mean, you don't like ripping a tiny glass of coffee and then two minutes later taking the best shittier life? No, no, not quite. I also don't like feeling my heart like going to full mask. Like, bam, bum, bougham, bapum, like, I don't need that. I just, you know, coffee is a well-metered experience. It's, it's like,

as if they're like, oh, we don't have beer here. We just have whiskey and we could put water. too. It's like, well, no, I want a beer, though. Like, I do like, and I love whiskey quite as as much, but like, you know, like, let's just even it out a bit. Well, whiskey and water don't get you drunk. Tall glass, a lot of water. It's just like,

Hey, speaking of tall glasses of water, should we get into some letter reading here? I would love to. Oh, by the way, we should say that Eric is dead, though. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're sorry. we buried him this morning we did it quickly

I bet yeah I'll tell you I bet he fucking wishes he was dead dude that guy if you folks at home if you've ever seen the movie the money pay

with Tom Hanks that's like kind of what Eric's going through right now we feel for the guy he's dealing with contractors I just it seems like an awful business man

a real awful business home ownership I feel like he's just falling through floors in a bathtub doing a Tom Hanks I mean the guy being nice and laughing in a terrible tragic moment, but Eric did die earlier today.

Yeah, the mask had to fall through the floor, but it fell on him was the thing. Ben Worcester did a stirring rendition of it's so hard to say goodbye the Boys to Men classic. Oh, hell yeah. He brought the house down and we thank Ben for that. I just stopped crying five minutes ago. Well, I get that's, you know, me too. Well, that's, you know, we're pros here on the show, man. We've been doing this for a long time.

You know, you get on the air, you stop that drip right. way. That eyeball drip. It's weakness. You know that? Everybody can see it. Hey, before we get into the first letter, I just want to remind you guys, because you two, here's some, you know, forgetful Freddy's out there.

Do you know what we're doing Thursday night? I don't know what I'm doing any night. I'm seeing Killers of the Flower Moon. That's, that was my plan. Finally, well, I hope it's a noon show so you can get back in time to prep for our

Worldwide digital experience, folks, this Thursday, 9 p.m. On what do we got there? Moment.com slash we hate movies. It's another live show we're doing on the internet. We're going to be talking all about Friday of the 13th, the final chapter. Can we do a quick? I want to appreciate this flip a graphic one more time. Yeah. So we've got Cabin as Roy, correct?

Yep, that's right. You are Jason X, I believe, Andrew. And I'm like, regular Jason kind of a thing and then we got Jason 2 for Eric which is that other that I do that that's part two yeah I think you might be I think you might be part

four before Corey Feldman makes the machete oh god I got it knock in it I think that's the case a rest assured everybody it is not the final chapter it is not that it is not the end of Jason

there's more Jason to deal with but it is a hell of a movie it's one of my favorites of this of this set it feels I mean like I want him I want him back in my life I want another Jason to look forward to can it happen well can we do that ladies and gentlemen they're always talking about doing it

it's it's been on the fucking burner forever and they just like you it's the same thing with Marvel stuff like with certain properties you're just like you hear it and then like you get an exciting director or directors to do it and then all you're like oh they wanted a go in a different direction. They had an idea.

Somebody had an idea, so fuck it. The tinyest ounce of an original idea, and they were like, absolutely not. Get the hell out of here. Get it right out of here. Get the fuck out of here, please. But I'm so excited to do this. I always love these live virtual shows, especially when we have a bit of a dip in touring. It's super fun

to just be able to interact with folks. And there will be the live Q&A afterwards, which I always enjoy. That's right. Yeah. So, like, basically, folks, if you're unfamiliar, if you're just joining us, maybe for the first time with one of these digital experiences worldwide, by the way. It doesn't matter where you are on this rock. You can check this out.

We do like a whole other like, I don't know, 45 minutes, hour, bullshitting. Maybe like, you know, consuming a cocktail or something. Oh, yeah. You know, and we answer questions that you all get to submit when you buy your pass for the

experience there. So, pretty fun stuff, I have to say. We love doing these things. It's very cool hearing from folks with the questions and everything. kind of like tonight, we get through these letters quickly enough. We might answer some cues from the chat. But so Chris Cabin, you are our resident mailman

here. Any particular order that we should start in? You know, I don't, Steve, why don't you kick us off here with this one? I will, and I want to apologize, I can't, I don't know how I said, I might sound like a cartoon mouse that has a cold and that is something that has happened. I just can't. I've had this

like head cold for about nine days. Entirely, the entire trip was like, just bare head cold thing. So it is awful. I think you do the audience a solid. No mouth breathing into the microphone. I don't know if that's possible. We're going to try. Here we go.

Jason Miller, Scranton's finest. Ooh. Hi, guys. I'm so excited. You'll be discussing the Exorcist for October's WLM, which was an excellent episode. And I was on that. We loved it. It was one of my favorite movies of all time. Oh, yeah. A lot of Jason Miller talk on that. A lot of

Jason Miller talk. I wanted I wanted to write in to share some Jason Miller lore. My friend was Jason Miller's house cleaner here in Scranton. She described him as kind and down to earth, always a gentleman, and a bit ashamed of his own drinking habits. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, he did die of, pretty much die of alcoholism, right? That's how that works. Yeah, that's why they also had to like change the ending of that Exorcist 3 because he was in.

Pretty rough shape. Yeah. Yeah. He would specifically request she used the door. Garbage Cans. Love the black ones you can't see through when rounding up and disposing of his numerous liquor bottles, beer cans,

and what have you. His apartment, she told me, was home to an overflowing ashtrays. Love that. Oh, yeah. Various books and papers strode around. This sounds like the last day's Stephen Sannick, by the way. I'm excited about this. Yeah, totally. Dude, like, you're not podcasting anymore.

Oh, yeah. You're ashamed of the amount of booze bottles in the apartment. You want to be R.D.J. and Zodiac on the boat. Exactly. Exactly what you're aiming for. Yeah, you want to be R.D.J. and Zodiac, but you just cannot get your hands on a houseboat. It's frustrating you. That's pretty expensive, dude.

His apartment, she told me over with the ashtrays. He made a few chosen relics throughout his entertainment career. She dusted both his Pulitzer Prize and his Tony had won for that championship season. Wow. The theater was his true passion. And upon resettling in Scranton for semi-retirement, he freely gave his time to community theater projects. As a result, many of us Scrantonians

have a feel of special connection to Miller. Remember that great office episode about Jason Miller? They did. No, that didn't happen. That was about to be like, what? Well, because I stopped watching that show and then like, it was on another fucking seven years. In the Ed Helm seasons, you could tell me that Jason,

they did a whole Jason Miller retrospective, and I'm like, wow, I didn't know that. Yep. I would totally believe it. his choice of his pump choice was farleys where he tipped well and wanted to blend into the regulars in may of 2001 he actually died in his favorite booth at farlies oh my god which is sadly now an upscale bodega type thing that serves students of the universe no you have to make that a monument and it's like farlies exists forever and there's a gold plate

that this is the booth jason miller expired in yeah where is the scrantonian historical society. This is outrageous. They beefed it. That's the short answers they beefed it. This is where BBGBs. This is terrible. You know why? Because I think that someone is like, oh, we don't want to, it's kind of sad that he, I mean, it is sad that he died there, but it's kind of awesome. You know what I mean? He died in Farley's died where he lived with his buddies.

Exactly, dude. Like, he loved going to Farleys. He would have been like, like, he crossed over and like turned around like, oh, what happened? Oh, I died at fucking Farley's. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Good ending to the story. Yeah. At least I didn't fall down the Exorcist stairs. Jesus Christ. Which, blah, which is now sadly an upscale bodega type thing that serves students of the University of Scranton, a Jesuit school, and his alma mater.

Oh, but actually, my sister went there as well. Is that right? Yeah. Father, could you help an old alter boy? A bronze bust of Miller was unveiled in downtown Scranton on the courthouse square in 2008. Okay. It was sculpted by his good friend, Paul Sorvino. Oh, what in the fuck?

Hold on. Dude, a fucking last paragraph Paul Sorvino's sighting. You know, this even shit, you know, he was, as we all know, he was Farina last year. And this like, even more so, this makes me disgusted with the AMPAS.

All right. And I want to just do a little, I want to do a little bit of a word, word document discovery here. So Paul, so, so, so it's, Chris Cabin has it was sculpted by his good friend, comma. have to go down to a new page. Paul Sorvino, huge shot, right?

Yes. Who is said to mix some of Miller's ashes and then there's a stop. And I'm like, did he eat those ashes? I was like, into a soup, into a pasta. No. Is this because it's Paul Sorvino, dude? Yeah, of course it is. I thought he was funded it with the garlic. He's shaved it so thin. No, into the bronze, apparently. Yes. Wow. So he's like always in Scrant. Oh, this dude fucking love Scranton PA, dude. I don't know what to tell you. I got to go back.

Jason Miller will always be iconic Father Karas and the Exodus fan, but he's also a gifted playwright and a generous patron of the arts who loves Scranton for the shitty and wonderful place it is. sincere thanks for producing W.H.M. and all this extra Patreon content. Cheers, Melissa. Thank you, Melissa.

That was a very enlightening little world entree to the world of Jason Miller. Yes. I'll tell you. I didn't know. I mean the Brevino was so close. that's great. That's a huge shock but also I'm still just raw about Farleys. I know.

At least, all right, at the very least, and maybe this happened and maybe Melissa knows something about it. Maybe someone thought like as Farley's was getting gutted or whatever, take out the Miller booth. Like go put it in Jerry's garage. Yes. You know, we'll save the Miller

booth just a case someday three assholes on a podcast are talking about it and they want to see where Miller died. You take the Miller booth? and you open a new place called Father Caruses. Now we're having a great time. Yes, are we sort of making money off someone's death? Sure.

Not the nicest thing. But maybe, maybe, and I hear me out, you take some of that profit, you put it back into these Scranton art institutions that he loved so much, right? I mean, not a lot, but. I mean, you got to cover overhead, you know. Yeah.

It takes a lot to get me out of bed. I'm not opening a fucking charity here. I'm opening a bar. I also imagine somebody I mean at least I would if I was an owner of Farleaves or like was there when it was getting you know wrecked for this bodega type structure

I would think you would have the idea I'm bringing the the Miller booth home with me I think you need to do that and I think then but the thing is it's not going to be a public thing it's going to be like Roger Rabbit voice and Zodiac it's going to be in your basement and you are going to have to happen upon this thing.

It's his little private thing that he had. But then there's a 1 and 18 chance you get haunted by the Gemini killer. So that's not cool either. That's funny you say that. I just put up a comment here from one of our viewers with a great username, Big McLarge Huge. Yes. That's how you get haunted, pal.

You are right, Mr. McClard, Huge. You are correct. I mean, this is, but these are people I think who want to be haunted, really. I want to be close to every essence that's left of these people. That's pretty dope, man. Someone says Paul Sorvino was in the original cast of Miller's play that championship season and the film. What is? Everybody knows and loves this but me.

It's like a group of guys who back in the day won the state championship, like now they're older guys. Oh, Al Bundy, the play. Essentially, yes. Just like talking about the old times and shit. Yeah, like they won the state title and like that. like, I mean, literally what you're saying, a serious version of Al Bundy. It won a bunch of fucking awards. It was huge.

Oh, wow. I mean, I read it in college and I was like, I mean, it's, it's fine. Like, it's good, but like, it is exactly what you're saying. Wasn't there a TV version of it for Showtime when they were doing that for a little while? Maybe. Yeah. But so Vena one is the actual movie. The Showtime did a lot of those like plays to movies, right?

Yes. Because they did, wasn't that they did that 12 Angry Men with Jack Lemon? Yes. Yeah, 82, the championship season. Ooh, Bruce Stern and Stacey Keech. Whoa. You're talking me into it. You're talking to me into it.

It's heavy. Whoa, it's Bruce Stern and Steve, Robert Mitchum as well. Whoa. Martin Sheen, Paul Sorvino, and then it kind of drops off. Because their coach died, they're in town for his funeral, maybe. Yeah, that's not the matter. Okay. I might be wrong on that, but, but it is definitely.

Oh, yeah. this person here says Job Mitchon plays coach in the film. Yeah. I remember it being very readable in college and like the movie is really fun. Sorry guys what I was when I wanted to give about a smuck and some weed. I was smuck and we're in the locker room, you see.

Hey, speaking of Scranton, a lot of people are talking about the office in the chat and Juliana says sadly the office is being rebooted. Is that true? No. If it is, I don't want it to. be. I would really rather it not have to help it. Twice was enough. The problem of the office is it's like, oh, you know, it's cool staying at the job that you kind of hate for your entire life. You know what I mean? Like, it's like, oh, no, workers are family. No, they're not. They're nice people. That's cool. But they're, you should go become family. It's okay if you like, but like for this to be your universe is a little weird. You should use that job. You should use that job. to leverage other better jobs. That's kind of a good idea, right? And that's what, when characters try to do that in the show,

the show vilifies them. It does. Yes, exactly. It is a troublesome thing. Mm-hmm. All right. Let me move on to the next one here, Chris Cabin. I guess, go to junior.

I'll do this one. Go for it. Hey, W.H.M. Crew. Longtime listener, first time writer. I've been working my way through the podcast from oldest to new. I'm currently at the start of 2021. It's a good year, good vintage. But they've been blowing through this podcast then,

because 2021 was just two years ago. We've been on the air for 13 years. It's been great tracking the Fall of America as well as that large. I always wonder about that. Like, that's got to be slightly horrifying as you, like, listen to us like drip, drab, current events that are happening while recording things. Oh, you know, could I put a poll, a flag in the ground here? because now we are sadly,

and I mean, capital S, sadly, Joe Biden to describe what was going on in Israel, use the words 15-9-11. We're aware of this, right? No. No, what is?

Is that 15-9-11? I mean, like, he took, he's doing our material. Mr. President. And I mean, for pure evil, by the way. but he's doing her material and it's just like it's weird

that's unfortunate Steve you have not talked to us we have sent the cease and desist already we're trying to we send it to him and Kamala just to be careful because I don't know what she's going to say next she's going to do something about our well I can't say

we got to stop that at Prasad folks that's it he's out there we got to stop that at Brazad we got to stop him as soon as sandwichly possible man. I definitely made that up too. No, that one's a Joe Biden original. I was as soon as sandwichly possible.

You know what? I think actually Superman would kill Zad. I think that crack in his neck, that's a normal to... If I was Superman, I would want to do that to Zad. Oh, you might just... Oh, I like a super... You might call me President Nerd. That's something I

also made up as well. Absolutely. Something's fucking fishy, man. dude 15 9-11s i mean i don't know i'm sure he's got people on his staff you know he's not writing these speeches himself i would like to know who's writing these speeches oh and they're all going to become podcasters eventually that's what happens now every time they leave the fucking white house and become podcasters so they're listening here and they're getting all their tips i don't like it i bet you though that 15 that was an edit like i bet there's like a speechwriter

who's a fan of the show he wrote 75 9-11s and so it was like Looking at the draft and they were like, Greg, 75? And then they're like, all right, why don't you turn that seven into a one? 15, 9-11s. That still sounds terrible. Why does he have to go into a Gary Busey impression in this part? What exactly is the idea here? What I will say for my friends in Israel is piss on the Yankees, piss on the Phillies, piss on the Indians.

Wow, the president's Gary Bucy impression sounds exactly like is Holly Hunter? him. Apparently he's really into Stephen King adaptation. Apparently he's going nuts for him. All right. Sorry to derail everything, but each year just gets progressively worse. It does indeed. I've noticed a couple of mailbags bringing up people who are a little too into the Saw franchise. One listener wrote in about a group of students discussing the positives of

Jigsaw's worldview. There's Jard Lusa saw experience from my past that I'm so glad I've now remembered. When I was a junior in high school, a sophomore, I was vaguely aware of, started dating my ex-girlfriend. Oh, that sucks. No big deal to me. Maybe. Maybe. But my ex was much less a fan of me than I was of her.

Her new boyfriend took the opportunity to be a tad too support. of her dislike towards me, at least from my biased perspective. Yeah, right, get to the saw part already. That's, I mean, you're leaving yourself a lot of exits out the back here, buddy. It's okay. You don't have to do that. Her boyfriend was quite the saw fan

to say, all right, here we go. He wore a puzzle piece attached to a necklace. No, he didn't. Dressed in saw robes for Halloween, the robes. To get the actual I'm not seeing a mask here.

So that I'm a little, I question. Did this, did Costas Mandelora swoop in and steal this guy's girl? Is that how this work? Is Gilmore a guy writing this? Oh yeah, you're 15. Yeah, I'd love to pick you up. Wait, it's got to be the pig mask, right? Yeah, it would have to be.

But I'm not seeing anything here. Okay. Yeah, you're right. Dress in, dress in sorrowups for Halloween and maybe throughout the year. Oh, that sucks. And had a personal blog dedicated. to Saw. I mean, I guess it's weird.

Doing disservice that we don't see the website of this blog. Yeah, I need a link there. The first Saw came out when we were in college and not to be, when we're kind of getting close to getting out of college, if I'm not mistaken, like 2004-ish. I guess at high school, that sort of makes sense. Like, you could have a Saw kid.

You know what I mean? I didn't experience that, but possibly? I guess. I mean, I, you know, I think we went what, as far as like Matrix kids? I didn't see how saw kids. No, I didn't know.

I mean, I guess if like you're a young engineer, you could get really into them. Finally a horror villain for us. I mean, it really is. The interesting part about his blog was that it was a collection

of saw traps. He had created for people he knew. No. This this came to my attention when my friend noticed an entry about a guy named Andrew in a trap

with televisions because his love of movies took attention away from his girlfriend the parallels are astounding this sucks not that I know anything about any of this but this sounds like something that might get you sent to a psychiatrist before he can go

back to school and you'd have to get a note signed by that psychiatrist somebody's got a somebody's got to give you the A-O-K to return to campus. Not that I would know anything about any of that sort of a thing. No, no, no. Well, that's only if someone rats.

There comes on you and tells you about this place. I am pissed he did not give me a... Maybe it's still up. Maybe it's still up somewhere. It didn't take long to figure out I was the subject of this entry. I can't remember the details, but I remember laughing

merrily at the ridiculousness of it all while reading it at my friend's house. After that, I couldn't help a smile any time I caught him brooding in my direction during our math class. Man, what a fucking psycho. You know what? The TV would go there and then there.

And then you wouldn't be able to escape. And then the skull crusher would come. I think I was too busy making my own joke. So how is the death in this sawtrap? Do we know it? The actual death does not get explained. It's just that the crap itself has a lot of TVs around him. I see.

Okay. The actual death implement is not released. Maybe your eyes burn out. I don't know. It was later that I was made aware that he also kept knives under his bed and took saw even more seriously than I had originally thought.

Okay. Quickly stopped smiling, gave him a wide berth from then out. I may have been repeating sophomore math, but I was no idiot. Skip to a couple of years later and I wound up running into him in college. We ended up sitting by one another

in another math class. and after a bit of awkward silence started talking about the game Dead Space. I do not know what this is which had come out recently. It's like a horror sci-fi game from a long time ago. Okay. As was our love

of horror movies. We went on to have a few more classes together. After that, he turned out to be a pretty cool guy. I guess, well, more or less that teenagers are fucking dumb. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, thanks for shaking this memory loose. keep doing what you're doing

Andrew from Wisconsin thank you Andrew who yeah that's bone chilling stuff I didn't have but Andrew you know you tell me differently I don't remember anybody

like getting so into any franchise that they were like turning it into their full personality can I tell you this was like when I was in grade school and I don't know how long

they kept it up okay It had to have been, well, because the one guy didn't go to our grade school. So this was at least middle school. Okay. So the earliest, this was like seventh grade. Okay. There were two dudes, met up, became real good buds.

Sure. And when I tell you, like, nonstop, walked around laughing like Beavis and Budhead. Oh, no. Like, nonstop, like walking through the hallway. Yeah. And if you had a class with like the two of them, if there was like some sort of ententee in play

oh dude, the the Beavis and Butta chuckling would just come out of nowhere or if they just like, you know, heaven forbid it was like a biology class or something, you know what I mean? It was fucking brutal and it was years long. One took Beavis and one took butthead. Is that my understanding?

Yes, that's correct. To get the symphony correct. And it was the one with the brown hair was butthead. Oh, yes. You would have to. You would have to. And, you know, the funny thing

was, like, they were both, like, totally fine dudes from what I remember with, like, my blues interactions with them here and there. Like, I don't, you know, I don't know what happened, you know, now we're almost 40. I don't know where either of them are to this day. But there was a period of at least, like,

you know, at least two school years minimum we were doing Beavis and Butth. I remember there was, like, a forming of a Matrix kid in my high school. You saw it blossom dude like a butterfly out of it no but like he came in like maybe it wasn't like the weekend after

it was like you know months after maybe the VHS came out and he came in and he had the decode and he had the sunglasses and he was trying to be stoic and nobody gave a shit and it like it was a real like leaning into something

like maybe I'm this guy and everyone's like maybe you're nothing and it was kind of rough to watch it kind of crash and burn on the tarmac like that he gave up at some point like one day he just came back in and it was fred yes exactly it was just sort of like okay i'm back to being uh my name which i will not reveal yeah it was just sort of like it was tough it was a real tough one yeah i mean you at that point you at least have to find some girl to like do the lady in the red dress bit with you yeah yeah really stamp at home because it can't just be stoicism people aren't going to attach themselves to that well it was an old boy's school anyway so it was just sort of like oh well then what the you're trying well it's just you try to be cool

and you try to like I guess like created identity it's like just leave it alone man you're just those guys are merciless don't give them that kind of ammunition brother don't do it do it it is reminding me and actually someone in the chat be man here

says oh of course one of his best friends was absolutely a Jim Carrey kid that's rough B man I had one of those growing up I had a close friend it was definitely the Jim Carrey kid and like when I tell you like being at such a young age and having to realize like what public humiliation feels like or like public I don't know like secondhand embarrassment

you know and you're just like oh god what a squeamish feeling and like when when that dude was in like Jim Carrey mode it could not be stopped and I was just over like on the side like ha ha ha ha ha yeah I'm not sure if it's the same guy we're talking about here Andrew but there was a guy who we were all like loosely friends with who was very much into big lines like the lines that were going to be

number one on the quotes page on IMDB he no matter he just wanted to yell them wherever he was yeah we're talking about the same guy okay yeah because like I do think he he transitioned

he went from like Jim Carrey and that's your whole thing to just like pitch lines like the big lines that's all you do wherever you go I mean I do remember and I'm not going to speak out of school but I think it was some sort of either a bachelor party that I wasn't at

but apparently he was yelling in the street the dark night do you want to know how I got these scars? Oh that was this is a 30 year. That was after a 30 year enterprise of doing exactly this. Yeah, that was the St. Patrick's Day after we got kicked

out of a bar for fighting. That's a story for another day. Yeah, that's a try that way. Andrew, you can take the next one if you want to. Get the old iPad out here. All right. real work. Now, real folks is R-E-E-L, you see. Real work. Yes. They say, long-time listener, I love the show. Thank you so much.

When I was in college, I was a manager at a blockbuster and a shift manager for a local movie theater. Wow, look at you double-dipping. Both sides of the release slate. I think I said this multiple times. Always wanted to work a blockbuster. That was just something that I thought I would do a video store thing. Yeah, I wanted to do that thing. It just never happened. No. because Randy was my guy in Scream that's what started at all. Oh, that's so cool. And I mean, like,

I'd probably still be managing a block bus. I'd be the guy in Alaska managing the block bus. Oh, man. I wish. Maybe that's not the greatest idea. Please don't close me. It was a tiny six screen theater in our small town, but I absolutely loved it.

Hell yeah. Those are the theaters that need the most love. I was a projectionist and would spend my many Thursdays attaching reels together and then watching the new movie. after the theater closed. Yep. That was great. That was the best days.

Oh, those were like, it was the fucking golden age, man. You know, you had free reign of a movie theater. Like, you were entrusted with, like, operating a movie theater and, like, making the movies go.

Like, it was insane. Let's see. Sneaking my wife and friends into the theater to preview movies was a blast. We brought our friends in all the time. Sometimes too many at the same time. Yeah, it will happen. We did get in trouble a few times.

I typically worked the late night shift on Thursday putting reels together doing regular screenings. One night I clocked out to go to class around 9 a.m. that morning. I'd been up all night building and previewing sex in the city and Indiana Jones in the kingdom of the crystal skull. Wow. What a lot of the crystal skull. Sex and the crystal skull.

Is that what was the Barbie Ombaheimper? Yeah, that would be. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Someone's having sex with a crystal skull. but the problem is neither of them are any good

so that's kind of a tough six hours of movies different kind of bombs brutal brutal everything was attached correctly trailers manually added and the splices were perfect and ready to go for opening that day that evening I got a call from one of our snack bar operators in a panic as she screamed into the phone

something had happened at the movie theater and she didn't know what to do and couldn't get a hold of the general manager It's fucked up. I left the house and drove up to the theater to find 200 women. 200 women. 200 women standing in our lobby, furious. Uh-oh.

Our projections for the evening, a projectionist for the evening, forgot to turn the real plates on correctly. As sex in the city opened for its first showing, it sprawled across the floor and melted several, feet of film in the projector. Wow. Yep, been there. I ran upstairs to try to salvage what I could, but

it would not happen that evening. Oh, no. Man. We ended up losing about three minutes of the movie. That's fine. Sure. And most of the reels had to be reattached. I was asked to announce to the crowd the update. After looking

around the room, I politely declined and went upstairs to the projection booth to start fixing the problem. Look, I, you know, I've seen Sean of the Dead. I see what happens when the guys go out of the, I don't want to be the guy who gets pulled out the window. Because I mean, you know, Barbie was a big one. But I mean, Sex and the City was also a big one.

I'm sure these ladies had like movie, like, it was a whole movie night. We're going to get espresso baritini or after or both. Dude, absolutely. I tell the story actually on tomorrow's episode on The Purge. I tell the story of me and Eric going to see the strangers. and there was a bunch of sex of the city people in that movie. It was a moment to be alive.

That's right. Let's see. Yeah, okay. So we were the closest theater for the next 50 miles and most shows were sold out. Yikes. So the shift manager on duty

had to explain to these 200 women they would not be able to watch the movie that evening. All we could do was issue refunds and rainy day certificates. It was chaos. Needless to say, the throngs of pink-clad women were in an uproar. There was screaming, tears, chewing out, and popcorn thrown in fury.

Yeah, that's it. Eat shit, kid. Yeah. Get fucked. Get a gobb stopper right in the eye, right there. Through our upstairs projection room, I could hear the yelling. It was an absolute nightmare. some of you have experience in theater work have you ever had a real completely mess up on you or had to dismiss an entire theater full of people because of an error thanks for all the great shows you guys are great and a bright spot in my week i appreciate all the laughs josh in oklahoma um yeah well i was the only one who was a projection yes chris you were uh floor man you were i was downstairs so i would have seen the mighty

crowd, anger. I do remember I don't know if you were a projectionist at the time Andrew, but I do remember a being there when how the Ron Howard, how the Grinch stole Christmas. One showing of that that was sold out

completely bricked. Oh, yeah. And I remember that theater, just the lobby filling and filling in like sprawling. It was huge lobby. If you got out into the actual main thing and people were fucking everywhere. That was

I came in to work in New Year's Eve and came in at like five something and so those were like people would like go to like a five o'clock movie then you have like your you know 730, 8 o'clock

dinner and then you go do New Year's Eve stuff so it was always like kind of a busy set of shows and that's when I came in to start and it was like the start of a movie like as I was walking in a co-worker was walking out out. And he just looked at me and said, have fun, just like that fucking rundown movie. Nice.

Arnold says that. Hey, have fun. Yeah, right? This kid says this to me and leaves the building, like, kind of smirking. And I was like, oh, that's weird. And then I see, like, this crowd of people forming by the concession stand. There's a windmill on fire in the distance. It's a bunch of people tied to steak. Yeah. Yeah. But, no, so it was a bunch of people that had come to see castaway. And they're just, you know, yada, yada projection problem. And it was going to take some time so they had to cancel the show.

Now, I don't know what like huge horrible thing happened to these people's print in the, in the letter that they had to cancel all shows for the evening. Like I can see canceling one, maybe two, I don't know, whatever. I guess they had their own problems. But so this thing was, you know, it was canceled. And if you recall, the film and Castaway, that like prime audience is like. like what were at the time like middle age boomer people oh sure so break out

the fucking entitlement cards these people were like screaming in the lobby and it was like where's the manager and this person was like he's upstairs trying to you know fix the projector which the dude was and I was like on my way to help him and as I the door is closing so it's like a door

from the concession stand and then there was like the office but then there was a staircase that went up to the booth so that's where I'm like making my way when I just hear like oh well if he's up there I'm gonna go up there and have a talk with him

and I was like uh oh and I slammed the door closed and like it was such a small little like square of space that even me at only 510 I could stick my leg out and press it against the wall so I was like holding the door closed

with my foot like speaking of fucking zombies dude yeah like did an arm get caught in the doorway I wish I mean literally trying to like bang down the door and finally like they stopped and all these like people had to be refunded and everything or I think they just yeah they just give you like a pass to come back but like it was the most outrageous like how dare you ruin our New Year's Eve and

it's like dial it back it's the fucking Tom Hanks volleyball movie like please could I uh jump in with a pretty out of left field Paris story though but it's it's it's about entitled boomers really eating shit, which I love so much. Oh, yes. Do it up, dude. So we went to the Louvre in Paris, a big, famous museum, lovely all-day experience. But it's a pretty long line. You know what I mean? We went on Monday, you know, and this is even after there was a bomb scare, the Louvre got evacuated a couple days before that. And even so, your plan didn't even work. Exactly. Sadly. But

so there's two lines. There's the regular line and my good friend, Andrew who had just been to Paris two to three years earlier. But dude, get a museum pass. You can, you know, it's a different line. It's a much quicker line. Get the museum pass. We get the museum pass. Thanks for that.

So we're on the quicker line. But even still, it's about a half hour. You know what I mean? It's a prime day. It's beautiful October Paris thing. And there's a family in front of us. And, you know, they're, I guess they're like Salt Lake City American. You know what I mean?

They're very nice, all American, two boy and a girl and a mom. and a dad. Like just flat speaking accent. Incredibly nice. And like we were taking nothing. Taking cute pictures and like

oh I'm holding the Louvre. No, now I'm holding the Louvre. I'm getting fucking a little. But. Sweet. And this is something

if you, if anyone right now, if you Google Louve right now, the top, one of the promoted ads you'll get, which is absolutely fake,

is something called skip the line ticket. So you could bake as fuck. It is. So they're in front of us and we're right behind and again we're waiting about 35 minutes, you know, not the end of the world, but a longish time. And the line's really pack it up behind us too. It's now

probably 45 to an hour. And this old lady comes up and cuts in front of the dude, the dad. Whoa. And like drop dead. And she's like, I'm sorry, I have skip the line tickets. And he's like, what do you have?

And she's like, no, it's, it's skip the line tickets. If there's your tickets, you can skip the line. And he's like, I don't know what that is. And it was one of these things where I was getting nervous because if this guy, that's why I mentioned the Mormonness of it, because I was nervous that this guy was going to fall for it and let this lady in. Oh, sure. You know what I mean?

Wallet inspector. Exactly. but she's like oh no I have skipped the line tickets and he's like I don't know what that is and he's like well how much did you pay for your tickets it's like oh 25 bucks or whatever he's like well I paid 82 euros these are skipped the line tickets

and he's like and he's like all right you know ma'am why do you just talk to the person over there the the the ticket taker we're about to see and she's just like I don't know what that is what she's no these are skip the line tickets these people have been waiting you have to let them through you have to

and I watched this woman go to every different ticket person trying to be skip the line and she just got fucked for 80 euros and I guarantee you her ass with all the way to the back of that line Oh that kid so much ass

And now the joke between my wife and I was Oh well I can just skip that I have the ticket That's skip that it's like What a fucking fleece that is And I guarantee look Google the Louvre right now You will find the top one of the top links you will see says skip the line, which is such a fucking scam.

It's great. It's all over, baby. Although, that's awful. You got to watch it with that stuff on the top hits is every time. Anytime that they're telling you, you can skip some major thing, especially when you're international stuff. Yeah. Just do not do it.

You're not skipping shit. You're not skipping a goddamn step. Wait for the fucking Eiffel Tower. Just wait for it. Stop. And it was just so satisfying for me. to like she just like but the line is skipping

and I'm like no I'm going to the Louvre and you are not and it just felt so good but I followed the link through Facebook 8 euros on nothing I love it that fucking rules hey you know where you're not going to have to wait in any lines

legitimately please this Thursday night when we have our worldwide digital experience folks talking Friday the 13th the final chapter, which is indeed the fourth one. It's Mr. Corey Felddog himself. Love that guy. The final chapter, there's only seven more to go after that. It's not a big deal.

It's really a halfway point. Maybe a third in, I don't even know. I think it's closer to a third. But had it been the last though, they would have gone out on a series high. It would have been the best one. Great, great movie. One of my favorites. You know, I was looking up though, because I did the cut the ad there and I put the Alice Cooper tune in, but that's from the sixth movie.

The fourth movie, man, I was looking at the song's garbage. Oh, really? Just like totally forgotten metal. Like, not even like docking or rat. Just like sub rat. We hadn't really arrived at the, I mean, that six is closer to when we are really bolstering soundtracks as the go alongs to these movies, movie experiences. I don't know.

Like, whenever Top Gun happened, it was like around then, I feel was when we really were like, do it all the time. Do it all the, every, every fucking movie was out. Yeah. Just get a soundtrack that fucking bangs. That's what we need. There's, I think, um, there's one Iron Maiden song on it,

but it's not even a good one really. Or it's original or is it, uh, from an album? Uh, it's 22 Acacia Avenue, which I think is from an album is, okay, well, then fuck that. No, that's,

well, fuck that, huh? No, fuck that. Like, if, if it's not an original piece, yeah, that's the real, like, Alice Cooper wrote that stupid ass song for that stupid ass movie. and it's great. One of my favorite music inspired

by the movie is the Puff Daddy Jimmy Page joint on the Godzilla soundtrack Come with me? Oh boy. If you are a little fat kid in yellow sunglasses

thinking your heart in the Bronx that'll pump you right up. That'll pump you right up. Well, that whole soundtrack, you remember. I mean, like, raging at the machine had a B-side on that record.

They sure did. And Ben Fould's had some, like, soft piano ballad. It was Godzilla, man. All music, welcome. Let's bring it all in. He's Godzilla and he's breaking slowly. Kick in buildings and needing people. But what I loved about the Puff Daddy song was,

I think he wrote that song from the, from the perspective of Godzile. if I'm not mistaken. He's genius. He's the leader. He's the leader that we need now. Yes. And that is Greg Buffuto. That is where the

Wallflowers covered heroes from Bowie. Oh, yep. I remember the video for both of those was, weren't they like separate, we're in a bombed out building that Godzilla just fucked up? Which is amazing for the Wallflowers because

it really, they should have been a one-hit wonder, if not for that cover being huge for some reason one headlight was a massive single though that song for sure yeah yeah are we excuse me are we paping over three marlanas yeah of course we are it's a great song I'm fucking tired of it all right of those singles shut the fuck up

someone just used a word that I haven't seen the long time you remember cassingle I do not oh it was like a cassette single oh yes of course it's just I love a good portmanteau but yeah I had a couple of Casingles back in the day. I had a single for Mbop the Hanson song Oh really? Oh yeah

I think there's one more letter Chris Right yeah I could do it Or if somebody else you go ahead sure This is hand panic Sounds like something I don't want to read Hey gang during your American Pie 2 episode When Jim super glues himself to his dick Like a fucking idiot

Andrew says it's not diffusing a bomb It's fucking lube I don't understand this. Here's my story of how I got to a similar lubricated fuck up. Oh, no, dude, this is a thing where I made fun of a thing and then it turned out to be a real thing. Yeah, that's sad.

First off, I grew up watching the hell out of American Pie 2. Well, first of all, then how did you get to a similar problem? My question is. Do you really think it's in printing lessons while he's watching American Pie 2? I'm taking this all in. I'm just, you know, this is all. Nothing. By the way, just got to jump in.

really quick here. Say a big thanks to goat malp here for his, he kicked in a couple of shackles on the feed here. Five bucks Canadian jumps in to say, Sex and the City too failed at their multiplex and ended up giving these hard people to passes full

refund food voucher and escorted to the next Eve show. Yeah, I mean, that's a, just whatever you can do to like as fast as possible, get those people away from you. Like, however much free stuff they want, you give it to them. But thanks for kicking in, Goat Melp.

I lost my place somehow. First of all, I grew up watching The Hell Out of America, too, was one of the first VHS I owned as a teen second. I'm Canadian. I was speaking to Canadians. So I'm sorry if my college terms are different than American ones. Don't worry, we'll make fun of them no matter what. During my first week of University, oh, where did you go to? This guy

go to Saltburn pretty soon? I don't know. He's going to university. The talent in Mr. Saltburn. Ooh, that sounds like a fun short story. I wonder if those boys are going to kiss at the end of Saltburn. We'll find out. We'll see. We shall find out.

During my first week of university, during orientation, on the residence floor, we got small kits with maps, event infuration, and other various small things for our freshman experience. In this kit, with some hand sanitizer in a tube. Uh-oh. Oh. The brand of hand sanitizer was in capitals. quickie with a k k w i kw i k y k y quickie quickie i would not allow that into my dorm file i would not be allowing that hey chris what'd you do with the bottle of quickie man

hurt the fuck out it's disgusting uh our resident advisor gave us a heads up that this is not loob please don't use it as such that makes me feel like there was a guy last season that got a little a little bit of trouble as well oh yeah there was an incident at some point because something happened that made us have to tell you that. I made a crack about American Pite 2 and the scene in it that made people laugh. Okay, good for you, dude, you got to laugh.

There were, oh God, sorry, stupid sky. There was a sex ed health fair sometime later in the week as well, where they were handing out small personal lubricants in tubes. Nice. Weeks later, my roommate is finally out of the dorm and I'm bored one night. I'm

I'm going to take a consume a beer here because I'm just going to need some courage Sure Yeah yeah It gets a little crazy here This was funny

I have always been a dry guy Yeah Yeah And you know And you're I'm there I'm right there with you brother Yeah absolutely dude

You got to hang loose With that shit Well I was I'm always a shy guy You see I wear a red cloak And a little mask over it And I jack off in that You spit bullets at the

mirror while you jerk off. Exactly. Oh, God. I've always been a dry guy, but University of the time of experiment, it was dark and the tubes were the exact same size. Within seconds, I realized I had fucked up harder than I ever fucked up in my life before. It burned, oh my God, how it

burned. I had to wash it out. Of course. Unfortunately, the shower in my quad, due to my drunken quadmate, was broken and I couldn't get an angle with the sink. Yeah, that's a problem right there. Yeah, this is a Jim Levins. Dude, if you were to dry

guy before, you were a dry guy now, my friend. Yeah, absolutely. For life. Yep, let me put some fucking mittens on here, man. The only shower quite a break in the sink. The only shower on my floor that would not involve knocking

on a door was in the women's washroom. I checked the hallways and stuck in like solid snake with a blaming your reason. To get myself into a shower salt. To be fair, this is not something solid snake would find himself into. Solid snake knows a bottle

of lube when solid snake's holding the bottle of lube. You know what I'm saying? But if there ever was a dry guy, he ain't going playing with that stuff. Give me a break. Why would I need a spit shine? Snake, snake, that's hand sanitizer. Snake,

snake, snake. Jerking off for a solid snake, is like a once every five years thing. He rents a room, I think. I think it's a whole night. It's a big one. Going away for the annual, you know. Night to myself, finally.

But I still have my friends in my earpiece. So yeah, it's kind of, I get off on that. I'll be honest with you. It's one night of year I get off on that. I checked into the hallway. It's not getting like solid snake with a flaming uatherer and got myself into a shower stall. as I was cleaning myself of the pain and shame

other people walked into the room of course they did and I had extra time in the stall to and I had extra time to spend in the stall to ensure no one saw me so you gotta hang out in the stall

yep exactly I was able to escape unnoticed and the whole incident without public humiliation and the whole incident without public humiliation and it has been a great shame to this day

I knew the American pie lore in it out and I still almost don't say almost you pulled the gym yeah the only difference was like nobody else saw it, but like you were doing a gym thing, absolutely. I have been

here comes not a surprise to anybody. I have been a dry guy ever since. Oh yeah. Yep. Thanks for the last of the years. I can't wait for you guys to come back to Toronto. I'd love to, by the way, signed don't read my name on the air.

Well, of course. Yeah. Wow. No. A dry guy. Yeah. I didn't even have to have I didn't even have to have the trauma to become a dry guy. I've been a dry guy in the early days. This is not something you have to learn necessarily. It's just, you know, it's personal opinion.

Like that's I understand. Some people like, you know, they want to put a swimming pool down there before they play. But I am not there. Holy crap. Oh, boy, oh boy. How about some questions from the audience? Yes. Let's do some cues before Chris Kavan gets more into it.

where it's more comfortable. I'm sorry, but my records are sealed. I would love to reveal them, but there's just a couple of different lawsuits that I just cannot. The audience knows a wet guy when they see one. That's true. It's fine. It's don't worry about it.

Yep, absolutely. So we do, another question from Goat Malp comes in. Grace Papaya, good as everyone says. Apparently goat malp has never gone farther north than New Jersey. I don't think so I don't I've never really gotten Grace Papaya aside for the price

Like it's good Like it's totally good It's not something that is like A New York staple And or something that like Is like a hot dog that will change your opinion of hot dogs It's just a hot dog You know what I mean

Very good hot dog I mean it's I would say the older the better You got to find the oldest possible Grace Papaya That's the one that you're going to want to go to and try. You want all that

oil to have built up over the years. You want Giuliani oil in your hot dog. Juliana era oil. You know, I say both. I say both.

You know what? You're going to squeeze me and drain me out into the papaya grease. I will say, it's better than a dirty water dog for sure, like a guy on the car to the street.

Card dog. Yeah. I was actually the best hot dog in the city, a little known thing. If you go to Grand Central down, go to Grand Central, go on the, go under, uh, the underpass there where all the like Metro North trains are, like, uh, they go into Westchester. This place called Frankies. Yeah.

Really, really good hot dogs. Like, it's a very good. It's a good, like, thick skinned hot dog, if you know what I'm talking about? You know what I mean? Like, it's got a good bite to it, which I want, I want a thick case. I'll tell you what. Yes, exactly. Yep. Um, it's, it's a hot dog that could get that could withstand some emotional abuse. You know what I mean? That's what I'm looking for. A thick-skinned hot dog. Here's, like, I think the perfect example of, like, just how they're fine. So a few weeks back when I went to a late screening of Stop Making Sense,

I walked past, so I was walking downtown, and I walked past 70 Second Street where the famous Grace Papaya from, like, Die Hard with the Vengeance and a bunch of other movies over the years, like, that one. And I was like, ooh, after the movie, I'm, going to walk back get myself one of them hot dogs movie gets out it's 1030 movie you know winds up getting out like around midnight or so and i'm walking back and the hot dog stand was closed and i'd been thinking about this like the whole screening you know but i was just kind of like yeah right like i wasn't yeah yeah because like that's the kind of level yeah yeah that's fine

that's all the lights are off that's fine that's sad that like to think that like because i i guess it's just because I'm used to the IFC center at Grace Papaya. That thing was open like almost all a fucking night. Yeah.

Yes. And I remember there's less like wasted, there's less like wasted college students on the Upper West Side. Yes. In that,

you know, around like the West 70s, you know. Yeah. So, yeah, there's so, dude,

you get us talking about fucking hot dogs. It's what I mean. It's what I mean. All right. Let's see. So, well,

this is directed at me, but I think it could be for all of us. Are we excited about the new Meg Ryan, David Do Coveney, Romcom. What happens later? You're definitely going to see it.

Yeah, well, my man, do you do Covenny? That's why I watched that terrible bloodlines. My dude's getting to work this year, huh? That's cool. Yeah, no, this is, it's a romcom, Meg Ryan directed it, maybe co-wrote it. I don't know, the trailer looks okay. It looks like they're doing

like a weird thing. Like, there's some sort of, something magical, maybe? Or it's just, I don't know, magical so much, but just like a device in which the movie, like, they appear to just kind of be like stuck in this place and there's like no one there.

I don't know. The trail, if you watch the trailer, you'll know what I mean. It's very weird. It looks a weird vibe. It looks unsettlingly like the Winona Ryder, Keanu Reeves. Oh, God. A destination wedding thing. It seems very much of that style of like,

we've got them. We've locked them down. Wait, is Meg Ryan directing this? too. She directed it. Yeah. So they just locked down the she got the one name that would come in for this and like they just did that and it was just them and they hope that's enough to bring people in. I guess

because Meg Ryan's heat is like she's back. Oh is she? I guess that's what she's announced. I guess this movie's supposed to do. Got it. It's announced that she's back but like it's not a big title for that. Destination wedding was something that should have been 45 minutes and they had to

make it 90 minutes to be a movie. You know what I mean? Like it should have just been like a what shit on something. Yeah, like a Max thing. Like what did it once. You know what I mean? You like watching them to get. They have good chemistry,

but then it's like 90 minutes of that, not so much. Yeah, exactly. Andrew, if you ever want to be broken completely of your David DeKovny thing, you just watched that Judd Apatow the bubble. Oh, sure.

If you have ever hated a Judd app, you don't know. how much you hate a Judd-Apital movie. It is one of the worst things I have ever I heard nothing but bad about that. Man, that one sucked. Yeah.

So yeah, you know, I'll check it out, sure. Let's see. Kind of a broad question. Kevin asks, what's your go-to Halloween season watch? You know, to do something new, I will say. I've been enjoying, but not loving the house

fall of the house to usher. I'm only two in. We're about four in. It's it's campier than Midnight Mass, which I think is a good thing because it's,

it's, I think I find Mike Flanning and hit and miss. I think this is closer. It's not a miss because I think he knows what he's doing. But you know what I mean? Like I think Midnight's mass

is kind of perfect. You know what I mean? Like I think this is a little sillier on the side. You know what I mean? Like there's a, the succession thing. It's hawkier.

The succession thing is the real problem. It is. Yeah, I think that's the biggest issue. And, like, the what, I wouldn't even really care about that, if not for the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, rip off shiv character. Yes. Like that one specifically, I was just like, this is too close. You went with, I understand you want to do like a response to success. I get that.

I get how you're framing it, but like, oh, you tell the character that's his, his wife in real life? No, no, no, no. His wife in real life is the PR character's name. She's the one that has the husband that's like the beef cake model guy and like there's something going on with like, oh yeah, bringing people home for sex kind of a situation. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm only two in, so I'm still like, there's a shit ton of characters. It is. And I mean, it's, it's, I'm having fun with it. It's spooky

and the kills are pretty good. You know what I mean? Like, the way that they're structuring it, it's like every episode someone there's going to be a pretty big kill and so far those have not let me down they're pretty fucking awesome and very the one at the end of the second episode I was like you got me you hot dog

did not see that coming I've been having fun with that for Halloween stuff as an FYI I mean I think that is I actually kind of like it more than I like the silliness like I think it's up there with Haunted Hill those this one I like talking about are the two that I like the most by him

Midnight Mass is good. I just, I do think I kind of got tired of the seriousness of it. It got a little too grim for me. Sure. Hill House is the last one that like really scared the shit out of me. Yeah. And I like, I mean, Blind Manor, I guess kind of. And like Midnight Mass, that's not really the intention.

But I was hoping this would kind of bring back some of that. It doesn't. I mean, it sort of does some of the stuff with like Bruce Greenwood and this insurance guy and like, you know, what you see behind him and whatever. the great carlumbie oh man manthus manniz oh shit but I agree

it's not quite a scary and the problem with Hillhouse and I'm curious how this is going to all end the Hillhouse really pulled back the punch at the end

like there should have been a punch because it's a horror story and it should be like terrifying like oh no but it's like oh no it's kind of nice to be a ghost I'm like is it though it seems pretty horrific

it didn't look like that in the other nine episodes exactly at the end it's like now we're dancing, having fun. I was like, no, no, no. Yeah. I mean, I've been doing a lot of, I try to watch, I try to make a time to really watch a lot of new stuff every October season.

Like, yeah, I've been going, I, I, I took a while to get into Italian Horde, Jallo. I went through Fulci last year. I've been going through, I think he's French. John Rowland a bit this year. I've also been doing the thing I've been putting off four years.

I am finally trying to watch some Kaufman-Hurz trauma films. Oh, wow. I finally watched Combat Shock the other night, which is nuts. And I watched Black Roses today.

Oh, that's a cool movie. It is pretty cool. I like the effects. Like the makeup stuff is really cool in that movie. they're better than I imagined at least back in the 80s and early 90s they were I don't know where I'm going to go from there

but I've been enjoying it I also watched I forget the name of the director but a movie called Angel Dust from 1994 really fucking good if you can get a hold of it you know interestingly we were sort of talking about this I think the last time

you guys were over about how Flanagan's thing is like the Stephen King Castle Rock show where it's like the world of Poe, the world of Stephen King. There's another one of those floating around. You're going to think I'm fucking crazy. But on Hulu, and I think they're also dumping it on Disney Plus like the next day

too or whatever, this new Goosebum show that's out with Justin Long and some other phone. I've seen trailers of it. Okay. It's way better than it has any business being. I don't think it's excellent. It's like it's a more adult Y.A. Like there's definitely, you know, like

Rob Hewbel plays a dude who's, like, cheating on his wife. So it's like that level of stuff that's in it. So it's not like, it's not kids. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it was confusing because all of the episode, there was a bunch already out and all of the episode titles are just like titles of Goosebump's books.

So I had no idea what the show was. And I was like, oh, cool. They just did more like an updated anthology goosebumps thing. And so I said to Chelsea, I was like, you know, do you mind if I watch some of these? Do you have any interest? And we went through and it was like, oh, I like, oh, I like that one. Don't watch that one. You can watch that one, whatever. And then I wound up not doing it. And so then, like, a few days later, we started watching it. And I was like, made a second, this is like 47 minutes long and we're in like minute 39. They're not wrapping this up. What the hell's going on? And then I was like, oh, it's this long thing. And it's like a town where like goose bumps things are all happening. Okay. So there's like the say cheese and die camera. There's like the haunted mask. There's the. There's the. eat worm story.

All of those elements are like in this larger story that's kind of like a Freddie Kruger thing where it's like the adults in the town like all these like Gen X kind of parents and whatever it somehow led to like a kid's death in their class and now all these years later like his ghost Freddy Krueger-esque

is like haunting their kids. I would totally recommend it. Like it's not hardcore horror or anything. It's very light like popcorny and whatever. But, like, if you have, you know, if you got little kids around or whatever, like, you would, you yourself as an adult would not be bored watching this Goopsum show. And then he got Justin Long doing a lot of, like, physical comedy and shit. You know, he's good at that. So, we'd totally recommend that.

Do some more here. Quick answer on this one. When is the Societymentary dropping? Well, I can tell you right now, that's going to drop this Friday on Patreon.com slash we hate movies. Q seed that bad boy a couple days ago and I gotta say pretty entertaining stuff

I love that this yeah you can hear Steve like in real time gets super nervous and like what's great and you know you'll notice it on the track

every time something happens that makes Steve uncomfortable Steve this is what you do you just go there it is I was waiting for it yes yeah of course I'm like I know it's been like that

like, you know, society. It's the movie that has all that stuff in it. And I don't know what that stuff necessarily is. Right. I've been sort of back from it. Now I'm like, well, now I got to go. Now you're in it. Now you got to jump out of the pool. Uh-huh.

I think you were a little covering up a little bit the fact. Because, I mean, you are, we know you're a wet guy. Oh, yeah. You were at home in much of the latter half of the movie. Uh, let's see. year. Ryan asks any theme months coming up because they loved April. We got We Love Movies coming up next month. That's exciting. Yes. That's where we

turn the show on its head. All of November's prime slots on Tuesdays, those are going to be we love movies episodes. And then on the Patreon, there'll be a special We Hate Movies episode that only the patrons will get. Which we really, really hate. And we're doing that this week and it's two hours of 20. six minutes. No. Yeah, I checked it when I went out today and I was like, come on, man.

I regret this immediately. This will be fun. But so our buddy Boussiris asks, what are some of our favorite autumn drinks? Well, right here, if you don't mind, it's the Sam Adams October Fest. I really enjoy this one. Oh, nice. I was just drinking

six points got a good pumpkin one. knocked back like four of those on Sunday also because it was our like wedding cocktail the stone fence bourbon and apple cider those were very good

I'm a big mold cider guy oh nice I had a bunch of this weekend I can't wait to get more I'll be interested in our answers for this one Daniel asks if we're candy corn fans no I mean I'm

No, I can't. When I was younger, I was all about candy corn. I've since fallen off. I look at candy corn and I'm like, I need more from a candy. Okay, Steve, but you're leading me right to my point. Candy corn is not good. What is good is candy pumpkins. The pumpkins are good.

I'm not a pan of chunky guy. Yeah. It's the same. It's like a marsapani type texture kind of thing. Are you eating fucking circus peanuts, dude? Is that what we're doing to? Oh, no. Oh, okay.

those are if you're not currently living through the dust bowl you can't eat those like candy has progressed am I living with leather face and his grandfather

Stephen of course not I'm not doing that so I wouldn't need fucking circus peanuts okay just check it just check it uh all right let's see if this I don't know where the

poster men podcast is getting their information did the Alamo draft has his clothes in New York like I heard. No. I thought I heard of. I don't know what your older brother has been telling you, but no, that's not. Let's see. Oh, this is a good one.

Chelsea and I've been going through some of these. Best Tree House of Horror segments. I think, because I do the same thing. And I feel like, I'm actually just finished today, the shining, you know, going through in order. Yeah. I really think the devil and Homer Simpson might be my favorite. It is. It's so good.

good. I love this chair be high, says I. And a lie that is just in my brain for no reason is Richard Nixon being like, you got married in the emergency room. I don't know why his like sincere distress about that really

gets me, really, really gets me. It's, oh, fuck, yeah, that is a good one. I have to say, I really like the, what is it, Bart Simpson's Dracula? Yes, yeah. Is that where they just do the

the Coppola. I really like that. I like how it ends like with a Lost Boys you know joke which is fucking great and so much in it is just fantastic like just it's like wall to wall jokes and like some good what the Simpsons used

to be good at. I don't know much about it these days but like good visual gags in the animation Mr. Burns invited us to his country home in Pennsylvania I'm always very partial to the one where the

teachers are eating the students. Yes. I really love it. It's so dark. It is such a dark one. Incredible. And like the little jokes like you were saying, Andrew, like Krabopal doing that little like hiccup before she like

almost throwing up a little bit because she just ate gooter. And like stuff like that is just so funny to me. I also love Fred Fred Kruger. Freddie Krueger one with really yeah yeah I love that one that's

I mean that's got the great lousy smart weather like we were we were there to have a meeting about the misprinted calendars we purchased lousy smart weather right after it like the joke of them the school using the fucking bad calendar is so good that and I don't like the idea of Millhouse eating two spaghetti dinners

in one day while a man is burning to death love it the way the way they animate Willie like sitting down just patiently wait Oh, my God, it's great. Obviously, that could go on for hours. Here's one here. I guess it's directed at Chris because he is the Michael Mann expert, apparently.

This person has a friend who's never seen a single Michael Man movie. They're going to show them heat first, but what's the one that would make a good follow-up? I would say, it depends on your friend. But the two choices I would go to are either Manhunter. Yes, that's what I might.

Manhunter would be a big one. I, but just because I think it's a perfect movie and like people who see Heat are just like, that is a thing onto it. It is such an unbelievable piece of work. But his, my favorite movie of his is the insider. And like, everybody you show that to is like, what the fuck?

How did he do this? And like, it's incredible. To this day, that movie knocks me out. I do think that, I think you're right. I think, and I also think that's probably the right answer because I think it's, it's closer in line with Heat, at least in where he was in his career. So your friend was like, I loved Heat. What's like that? Weirdly, it's the insider, which is odd. It's got the tension right, the same way that that works. And I mean, I would also, I mean, I don't know. I know, I forget, I think it was Roger Eber who complained about being too long, but Ali is fucking great. I've actually never seen it. It's really worth your time. It's my favorite Will Smith performance by a mile. I think Regina Hall is in it. She's really good. I think that's his first wife

or his first big girlfriend or something. Jimmy Fox is good in it too. Yes. Also, I mean, it's just unbelievable. Also, sadly, John Boyt is amazing. Yep. Sure. Just like he's unfortunately amazing in heat, you know, it kind of happens. He's unfortunately amazing and, oh, God. Midnight Cowboy? Thank you.

Yeah. Yeah, I mean, but like with the heat, like if you like, if you like, the crime if your friend's more like the crime shit you got to go right to thief it's right there yeah I mean I really don't think you can go wrong with him there's yeah there's only like two of his that I'd be like you know what that's for the fans

like yeah public enemies and the keep I like I like I really like the keep I do and I I weirdly do really like public enemies but they are for people who love him yes like love love him it's advanced Michael man the keep is one of those movies where it's like

Can I see the better version of it? Because I know it exists. I know that it exists. Can I just see the better version of it? I'd prefer that if you could. Let's see. We'll do a couple more here. Terence asks if we're playing any video games.

I finally beat Zelda. I want to say towards the end of September. And then I read like three books. And I'm like, hey, how about that? I got my life back a little bit. But I am probably going to go right back in November when they put out Super Mario RPG. What is this Mario Wonder

that I should read about? It looks good. It's a lot of fun. Is it? You turn into a big... It's a real... It's a real thing. It's a real...

It's a real new Mario game. Yeah. It's a... It's a new scroller. Yeah. It's worth it. No, I know. But like, because I didn't

fucking finish Zelda. Also, I bought Mortal Kombat 1 on PS5, like the new Mortal Kombat. It is... the hands down the most violent video game I've ever played in my life. The fatalities are out of control.

And there's like, it's, I don't know when this happened because I haven't like kept up with Mortal Kombat games. But thankfully, they finally gave up the whole like, let's make the move secret. Let's make the fucking fatalities secret.

Like it finally wizened up at some point because this, at least this game anyway, has like the menu and it tells you how to do the fucking fatalities. brutalities. It's all there. It's great. And it makes it so much better because you're not trying to hide things from people. And I can just do my little fatalities and be like, like, there's one that Luke Kang has that my jaw hit the fucking before. I was like, I cannot believe that's in a video

game. Is he skull fucking? Is he skull fucking? Yeah. He turns into a dragon and then skull fucking but the problem is so I bought these games right you know what I'm doing I'm playing in here I'm playing on the switch the fucking Star Wars Podracer game

like really playing it guys like you got a dick I saw I saw the glint in your eye Kevin have you finished Zelda or you I don't know if you brought yourself to it oh yeah no I finally did it and it's a great game

unbelievable it's a great ending too I like the ending oh yeah yeah uh i love i mean i don't know how like this is one of those things i mean i thought about this when breath of the wild when i finished that i was like well i don't really know how they top this like yes exactly i just have no idea but like i trust that they will do something interesting for whatever is next yeah i hope i hope um but you know what take like a long ass time yeah yes one i want you to i want you to work hard and you know do a good job on the game but also i want enough time for my lazy ass to finish zeldah which i have not done you

So before we get to the last question of the evening, folks, just a reminder this Thursday, you can catch us live again on the internet, as it were.

And so many people get thrown out of so many windows in that movie. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. out. And we're going to get to talk about one of my favorite Friday of the 13th deaths of all time,

the sad nerd who gets murdered watching vintage silent era porn opium. Which is just like, if you got to get killed by Jason Voorhees, what's the most pathetic possible way? It is this dude. And it's, it is comedy gold, my friends. Beautiful moment. Moment.com slash we hate movies. And if you don't remember that, you just go to our website, WHMpodcast.com. All the ticketing information is right there. you get them before the day of the show because then they like go up a couple of bucks.

They're at the door. They're coming in. It is time to keep your appointment with the Wicca Man. They're coming to get you, Barbara. He's sick for fucks using one too many movies. Now, Sid! Don't you blame the movies! Movies don't create psychos! Movies make psychos!
