it big time in this house.
Yeah?
Anything, anything big?
Well, you like zoom some bodies, bring them over.
Prop them up.
Sure.
Sure.
You got to do it.
Yeah, you're getting like outside in the cemetery and everything, you know, fresh air.
Good.
It's weight and cardio.
And of course, you know him.
You love him.
His triumphant return back to on screen live, Mr. Stephen Sadek.
Yeah, no, I have deodorant now so I can come back.
Yes.
I'm glad that issue was taking.
taken care of. It was so bad we could
smell it through the camera.
Is that the idea? Yeah, exactly.
And I mean, now it's fixed.
So we don't need to talk about it anymore. We need to be
worried about it anymore. I mean, just...
You got the stink lines and everything.
Big hello out there to
folks in the Czech, Kyle Eikenberry, Prestonian,
Eddie Failson,
Captain McClutch, slime siren. That's a good one. That sounds like that.
That's a real sloppy name.
I'm going to be fucking ringing that tonight, right?
because you know it's devil's night
which Steve you know what that is
my new favorite holiday
we get the slime
out on devil's night
oh man yes you got any devil's night
plans due to well Eric you're going
waltzing through the tombstones
what about you Steve?
No you know I might
hopefully get a drink at a bar
that might be something to do
so how's that different from every day
it's not but it'll be
I imagine
playing a Halloween movie.
It's kind of on them
to bring the Halloween atmosphere. I'm bringing my
drunken self. Right, exactly.
And Eric, as far as your
everyday question, Steve and I were literally out of
bar yesterday. So, you know,
keeping the streak alive, Steve, maybe I'll go out
drinking a night, too.
Look at you guys.
We got a lot to get to
today. A lot of
spooky horror recommendations come in.
We're going to talk to new Scorsese. We also have
on-screen live's first ever
guest. It's very exciting. We're going to
get to that at the end of the hour here.
But first up, wild, surprising week at the box office.
We'll talk all about it in a segment in a segment we like to call Pius Gross.
So like as happens, like we take a week off from on screen live last week.
Of course, we were doing the mailbag instead, you know.
And we take one.
week off, these movies are shifting all over
the place. My fucking, my
Paw Patrol friends aren't even
in the top five anymore. Oh my God.
What the hell?
They'll put down, dude.
Oh, no. Yeah, that's
nobody adopted them after a week.
So, yep. Yeah.
It's like, you either get adopted or you
be this fucking dog police officer
or you will get pulled down. They laid
them down on their favorite blanket.
And then they administered
something to numb them a bit. And then
the IV went in and
right yeah well that's how they make them talk that's how you make a talk
it's all like man's best friend with lance henrickson they're pissing acid on on paw patrol
i feel um anyway oh then every they call it the gold watch like oh no when you retire you get a gold
watch it's like yeah i can't wait to get my gold watch no just lay down here well this'll
be easier for you to get your gold watch you know what i mean and that's just your gold watch
is more comfortable if you lay down on this blanket yeah the gold watch is at a farm
up in the country.
Speaking of a movie I wish
was fucking put up into the country farm
and never heard from again, Exorcist Believer.
The body in the blood.
The body of the blood.
The body and the blood.
That's a movie quote, I guess, right?
It sure is.
It's the fucking tagline on the poster.
Oh, but I didn't know it was in that tone.
A Unitarian's wet dream, that exorcist fucking believer.
It sucks.
It sucks so much.
It's so weird that.
they did that because you know you have catholicism the actual religion the real one the one true
for sure and then you make then you have like all these all these clowns come in exactly
these heretics the jews don't get don't get their fair shake uh i don't even think not even and the
muslims not so much but it's just any other version of like rough christianity or
christy it's got to be christy got to be on the christy side of the other street yes and
yeah, this whole like
hands across America
we're gonna exercise these two girls
at the end of that movie is one of
if you think of in terms of like
the exorcism scene in the first movie
is one of the most famous
best done chilling scenes in cinema
think the exact opposite
for the exorcism scene
an exorcist believer
and anyway
I think people are slowly for getting it here
week for $3.1 million
that'll be out of my hair soon
I made more this weekend
you and your dick were busy
over a billion served
this next
one it's a total I mean I might as well play the fucking secret movie
theme song for this here
but from the people who brought you that Jim
Caviesel child kidnapping movie comes after death
what the fuck is this
could do it on me dude
it's for our good folks
at our friends at Angel Studios here,
$5.1 million. This is a documentary
where scientists
and other people talk about
what's on the other side.
At a certain point, doesn't this become
sacrilegious to be like, I know
what death is? Yeah.
I kind of think so. Like, you're going to be making the man
upstairs sad. Yeah.
Straight to hell. So, if Jim Coveeasel
wasn't the other one, does that mean Dean Cain
has to be in this one?
Well, this is, it's not a narrative.
This is like a fucking head,
documentary.
Yeah, but it's going to have like the My Pillow guy.
Yeah, one time I totally OD'd on crack and this is what I fucking saw on the other
side.
It's Donald Trump and he opens up his big arms and he gives you a big old bear hug.
And he's like, thank you for serving me, kind soldier.
And all throughout heaven, all the clouds are made out of my pillows.
You don't have to sleep on a cloud when you could sleep on a my pillow.
Oh, is that a crack vial?
Oh, actually.
God damn.
You should get back on it.
He was probably much nicer guy back then.
Better hang for sure.
Oh, absolutely.
Just take a little just to take the edge off and enjoy this go.
Exactly.
Like, just like do a little fucking toot and then be like, oh man, all that election
denial stuff was garbage.
Wow, I sound like a real asshole on all those TV interviews.
How embarrassing.
Fuck that guy.
But anyway, so that's that movie.
It doesn't appear to be the box office sense.
that the Sound of Freedom
was there but it really is
Steve it really is because I wish nothing
but the best for Angel Studios
coming in third and it's second week
Marty Scorsese's killers of the flower moon
still doing so-so $9 million
it's a 60% drop which isn't great
can I get this on Apple now
is it streaming on Apple or is it not it's just straight
I think so
no just just theaters only
yeah I went to see it
second weekend to help out.
Good for you.
Because I couldn't see it the first weekend I was busy.
But doing your part.
I'm helping out, dude.
I'm part of that percent.
I love that.
That's right.
That's right.
All these people complaining about the intermission.
Like, I get you.
There was an intermission with you guys?
No, no, no.
There's not.
There's not.
That's the whole, the point of the argument is people are complaining like it's a three
and a half hour movie.
Why is the round an intermission?
That's up to Marty and Thelma.
It's not up to the,
these fucking theaters doing fake intermissions.
Fuck that shit. That's deplorable.
That's super deplorable. I had no idea that that was
a thing. And I don't think it needed it. I mean, I did go
be once, but whatever.
Me too. Like, as an adult, you know,
you see the movies before you're like, oh, what are we
talking about? It seems like we're going to get a little talky here and I might be able
to even come back to my wife, like, what I miss.
And then she's like, more horrible shit
happened to the state of American community.
Got it.
Yeah, yeah. You know,
you know, there is something to be said for like the
majesty, the presentation of an intermission.
You think, like, Larry of Arabia, 2001,
like, those movies that had that, but it was, like,
intended that way. If you're one of these indie theaters doing
fake intermissions, fuck you. That's awful.
That's not your call. And I'm glad theaters are getting
fine for it. I am. That's not the game, folks.
And, like, I know we live in this age of, like,
well, I can watch it at home and pause it. Then wait.
If you can't sit or you don't want to miss 60 to 90 seconds
of a movie because you're going to the bathroom,
that's fine. But,
don't make fake intermissions
and don't fucking complain. I could
also jerk off a Friday night that Freddie
is at my house but if I do in the theater
I get in a lot of trouble
because you know what?
The Steve Sadek intermission
It comes out, he's going at it
and that's just the intermission.
Turn the lights up, it's intermission.
Nobody move. It's intermission.
The floor at Steve's house
is sticky like a movie theater.
You know, like you spill
you spilled soda.
Yes.
More on that movie a little later, of course.
In it number two, Taylor still rocking it with the Ares Tour.
Concert Doc here.
Another 14.7 million.
Check this out.
That brings it to 149 million U.S.
and $203 million globally.
If it hits over 232 million globally,
it beats that Michael Jackson,
this is it, concert documentary,
which is the highest grossing one of all time
that was when it came out like right after he died
so all the ghouls were like let's go she
I didn't as many records as we can take away from
Michael Jackson is a good thing you know what I mean
let's get those off the board
that's crazy that it did so well
well after his crimes were known
right
there's a large percentage of the world
that's just like he's a genius
dot dot dot and then like you're like
but what and then they won't answer the rest of it
they'll just say he's a genius.
Yeah.
And he was, but also.
But also the fax machines.
Right, exactly.
I was at the Alamo this weekend.
I saw the killer, which we'll talk about at some point when it comes up in wide release.
But there were a lot of girls dressed up for the Taylor Swift thing.
It was kind of cool to see like a lot of the families, like little kids.
You know what I mean?
Oh, yeah.
Bringing me in me in big parties, obviously.
No one dressed up for the killer?
I was like, oh, you saw a lot of little girls dressed up
when bucket hats and windbreakers on?
It's a great Halloween costume.
It's a little, it's unfortunate that the movie didn't come out in time
because it's going to be a great Halloween costume one day.
Because it seems like it's an easy one, right?
It's like find bucket hat, find windbreaker, find white khakis.
Yes, and a Hawaiian shirt, you're having a great time.
Oh, Hawaiian shirt.
Okay.
Oh, perfect.
Oh, yeah.
You can find those.
You can find a Hawaiian shirt.
Just go to any fat guy store.
They're right there.
Yes, my local fats.
Yeah, well, the big fat party animal warehouse, you know.
And I can say this now, now that Chris Cabin's gone, Mank, he's done with his Mank Sojourn
and David Fincher's back where I want him to be, baby.
Nice, dude.
You hear that, Chris, wherever you are?
No Mank for you.
No Mank too.
No Mankin off.
Um, and then so at number one, uh, we'll talk about it briefly in a bit.
This is shocking. This is shocking. Shocking. I was bowled over by this. Five nights at
freddies. The motion picture adaptation of the I guess popular video game series. I had no idea
was a video game series, but look at that number. 70 million dollars. But it's it, you know why?
Because and I don't know why we're just adverse to this. People want to watch horror movies the weekend before
fucking Halloween. They really do.
And I don't know why Saw came out a month ago
And I don't know why, you know, I don't even know what, uh, exorcist believer.
Exist believer came at the beginning of the month, the nun, you know what I mean?
Like paw patrol, paw patrol one of these one of these guys should have been in that slot and fight and fight for it.
You know what I mean? Like, hey, I want to be the horror movie before Halloween.
Oh, no, I'm they're afraid to fight now.
It's like, oh, we can't, we can't put anything against anything. And but man, who would have thought five nights of Freddy's, I guess the kids would have
thought who play this video game. It reminded me of that Nick Cage movie that came out a few
years ago. Yes. So I was just like, this has been done. I'm shocked that this is a sensation.
That Cage movie, by the way, the name of it escapes me. I don't know. It's Willie's Wonderland.
Yes. Yes, there it is. I watched that and it's like, it's another one. This is a plague that's
going around. It is another, he's not talking in this movie. Oh. The whole movie is just like this
silent character for the vast
majority. I think he's got like a, he says a word
here or there. So like
it's worse than five nights at
Freddy's because at least people
are talking in that movie.
But we'll get to that in a bit.
$78 million.
Check this shit out.
131 million globally. This is the biggest
Blumhouse worldwide
opening.
Also released simultaneously on streaming.
That's what I can't believe that this is maybe one of
the most successful cases of that.
It really is, dude.
And this is the second year in a row that they've proved this because the last two,
it might be three years in a row now, right?
Because those last two Halloween movies both went day and date and now this,
like, Universal is proving like you can do that.
You can do day and date stuff.
If you've got a thing that wants to get people to theater like horror movies,
like, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
It can be done.
I will talk about my problems with that movie in a bit.
but yet on a $20 million
budget
machi-machi
that's really good
more I mean
unfortunately the message there I think
and I mean like it's cool
a lot of people are talking about it
as like a gateway horror movie
like kids will watch this
and then watch like real
become a little spooky heads
and that's great
and I think that's a really cool thing
but I don't want more PG-13 horror
on my slate I'll be completely honest with you
that's not what I'm here for
and that's that's kind of
that might be a message to
the studio's like, hey, look, then everyone
can see it, you know what I mean? Like, that kind of
a thing. Yeah, we want a rated X.
Exactly. Here's
the thing. Like, if you want to do PG-13
for the theater, because yes, more
admissions, yada, fine.
Give me the adult
version on Peacock. You know what I mean? Give me
the uncut. Give me the R-rated
cut, whatever you want to call it. Because, like,
I feel like I'm talking about the movie
already, but like there is one part in that movie that would
have been an awesome fucking kill, and you
don't see it because it's in silhouette.
So, like, yeah, I get it from a ticket buying standpoint, of course.
But, like, R-rated stuff has also been super successful at the box office.
So pick your battles.
I guess maybe it has something to do with how the game is.
Like, is the game also, like, more geared towards younger folks?
I don't know.
I did not know that it was a video game series until, I think after I fucking, or no, I think in the credits, it might say, like, based on the game.
And I was like, what?
So, yeah, I don't know.
A couple of rad art market numbers here.
First, Priscilla opened, limited.
What was this?
It was on four screens.
That's a prequel to Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
That's before she gets her crown.
Is that what I understand?
That's right.
That is absolutely right.
It's out from A24.
Yeah, 133K on four screens.
Not too bad.
Next Friday, it comes out a little more wide.
It goes to 1,000 screens.
So look for that.
And then also, haven't seen it yet.
but our boy Giamatti he's back
in an Alexander Payne movie
the holdover's open very limited
it was
what are we looking at there? Six screens
I think
200K on six screens it'll open wide
on November the 10th. I'm kind of excited
you know it's a little something different
I'm super excited he's back
baby it's like him being
in a sad comedy like
I almost watch it this weekend
but it was 80 degrees outside
I'm like I'm not going to watch a snowy
Thanksgiving movie
in 80 degree
shit New York weather
like I need I need
I need to be wearing a coat
to and fro okay
that's what needs to happen
yeah that's a coat movie
they let you know the trailer
in the trailer it's like
this is a coat movie okay
yeah yeah
so I am super excited
for that but I got to
gotta be wearing a scarf
to the theater
so I think I'll wait till
maybe I'll wait till it goes wide
like a couple weeks in November
see what's what.
But yeah, I'm very excited.
And, you know, sort of like
middling reviews a little bit.
So I guess we'll see, but
it's fucking Giamati, man.
Got to support the guy.
So that's the box office, folks.
Now, last Thursday,
you guys recall maybe we did a
digital show
that was very fun.
Of course, we were talking Friday
the 13th, the final chapter.
Now, the cool thing about this,
everybody, is
that if you missed it, never fear.
Because the replay is up right now and you can get it all through this week.
Thursday to Thursday night, into Thursday night.
I think once you cross over to Friday, Eastern standard time, it's going to be gone.
It's going to be tied under Crystal Lake and you're not going to be able to see it.
But you know what?
Right before Thursday is a great time anyway because Halloween's Tuesday, this is great
Halloween night viewing, Halloween day viewing for you folks if you want.
I think I think
yeah no your
your thought is correct
Steve now if you're if you're still on the fence
like oh geez I don't know you know
if I want to check it out or not
we got a little clip package here
a little sort of an extended preview they were going to
play for you these are some of the
does need any set up or what do you think oh yeah
so if you guys recall last Thursday
we did a really fun
digital show on Friday the
13th the final chapter
and this you've got to
this up, right?
I thought that's what I was doing.
So what this is, it's a clip of,
so we did like a two-hour show
and this is like four minutes and some
odd seconds of some highlights from that.
But not all the goodies, folks. And not anything
from the after-party Q&A, which was
a wild session. We were
telling some crazy stories going on some wild
tangents there too. Recommending horror
movies too. And talking horror
movies as well, absolutely. So
here it is. Here's some stuff that you
miss. Check out this preview reel.
back in a few.
Well, in this movie's the same age as Ralph, right?
The actor playing Jason.
Yes, Ted White.
He was 56 at the time of filming.
And this guy, I think pretty great Jason, just passed away last year at the age of 96.
Oh, my God.
Guys, what we have to do after this after party.
And I'm talking to people watching, not me personally.
more of a Manson figure. I get you to do it.
Gotcha.
Dig up his body, right?
Okay. And then you shove a, like a piece of an iron fence into his chest.
I see where you're going.
I love where you're going with this.
A thunderstorm.
Yes, it has to be a dark and stormy night.
You're totally right.
And, I mean, don't have any expectations, but just see what happens.
Also, also call a lawyer.
Not, you know, it doesn't have to be a good lawyer, but a lawyer.
just so that you can call them when this wet you are going to get arrested this is absolutely
going to get that's your one phone call from prison just have remember that a lawyer just what i love
the guy the ambulance guy who's like he gets just like what's the emergency like they're all dead he's
like well if they're all dead it ain't no emergency i'm like no i don't know 10 dead by it's an
i would call that an emergency i don't know it was an emergency yeah i'll tell you what it is that's
lights only dude you don't need that you don't need the siren you want to put your little lights on
okay but i agree with this guy what's the rush they're not getting any debtor i suppose this
series never had it and this movie almost specifically like especially when he escapes from the
hospital you need a dr lumbus or someone to be ringing the bell like close this town sheriff
don't let any horny teens in no one's allowed to rent any cabins or otherwise but who would that
be the bog master
who's in charge of Jason
nobody
the bagel deli where you
on your way into town like there's like a little
newsstander you get a shitty bagel
at a fucking newspaper maybe that guy
would close the town we met those people
in the first movie there's definitely a gross
little lunch counter kind of thing there
but I think though what's interesting is what we're talking
about I feel kind of is why Friday
the 13th part
six Jason lives is my favorite because you do have that in the then adult Tommy Jarvis running
around like listen to me Sheriff Jason's real he's alive. Come on Jason you per se. But it is interesting
that like the events of one, two, and three have occurred. And then all these kids are like,
should we go? Yeah. Should we go? Tempt fate. Why not? Thank you. Thank you. This is what this is
what spurs the virgin to sign
her own fucking death warrant, Chris
Cabin, because this guy Teddy
finds a reel of silent era
pornography and puts it on
and it is that classic thing
that I know I've been around it.
Steve, you've been around at Cabin. I think you have two
Eric, I don't know, but you're at the party
and someone puts on pornography and
everybody's kind of like, ha ha ha ha,
except the one person who's really
into it. That's precisely
what's going on here. The pH
balance is way off what's pornography. Is
introduced to a party, you know? Yep. Absolutely. If you didn't know who had done, like,
if it wasn't as, it is, you're correct. It is always obvious. But if not, I would be moved to,
like, start sorting through the crowd. Who did this? Who did? Who did? Who did? Yeah, I mean,
I don't know, man. I don't want to watch. Can we just put the record back on and that fatty Arbuckle
sex tapes? Like, what do I need? Yeah, the three stooges running a trade on a, on a flapper.
Excellent. They're all trying to get in at the same time. Like,
through the doorway.
Oh, my God.
All right.
Well, I'm hiring the three of you to clean my pipes.
Moe,
Moe shoves the two other together,
their boners, their dicks, like, bang.
Get out of here, knucklehead.
This ain't no DP scene.
You're two cockheads just slammed again.
You don't smack my head.
You smack her bottle.
Oh, no, the stooges.
What are you in
We're in France, we're here
We're in Brooklyn
They were more brutal than Jason Voorhees
They were, yes
All right, curly, go down on them
Why are you in coal?
I thought you said we were running a train on her
Good night
So there you go.
Yes.
And I think there's some idea to Three Stooges pornography that maybe we should explore, you know?
Yeah, absolutely.
Did that clip need any setup, though?
Did we need to?
You know, it probably should have had some.
set up. And if we were to give it, I'd say
is there remember last
Thursday? Okay, got it. Yeah.
This really fun digital show
on Friday of the 13th, the final
show. Probably something like that to send
that. Yeah. Yeah. And see, if you don't
know what's going on here, that's a bit
from the show that you didn't see
in that clip. It's true.
Because we spend some time yucking it up
with Siskel and Ebert, making fun of those
guys and their review of that movie.
There's a lot of fun.
So there you go. Moment.com.
slash we hate movies
you can go grab your replay tickets there
to the show and the after party
Q&A again like we said fun stuff
great for the spooky season
a great companion if you
are planning on maybe watching Friday
the 13th 4. Yes
slap on the show afterwards man
and have some yucks with us. A lot of fun
lot of fun
all right so get into some
on screen stuff here. Bummer that Chris
has to miss this because I know he also dug it a lot
but Killers of the Flower Moon
of course. Here's the bad poster
once again. I'm warming to that poster a little.
Are you? A little bit. Yeah, a little bit.
You know, I kind of like the arty background to it,
the little paint that's kind of going on. A little watercolor splatter
kind of thing. Like blood and oil and dirt or something.
Yeah, yeah. Right, right.
There was a, I couldn't find it online,
but I think I saw someone share it on Blue Sky. There was a poster that I believe
an Osage artist actually
did. Okay. And it looked
really cool. I wish I could have found that one
instead of this fucking direct to
streaming poster
such as it is. But anyway,
so I saw this last
Friday. Dude,
I was there at fucking 10 a.m. straight
from having breakfast at the diner up the street.
I was full of my cheese omelet.
I went in black cup of coffee
for this movie. Cheese omelette.
Hell yeah, dude. Let's do food pairings
for Flower Moon.
So far we have cheese omelet
But like
What did I eat that day?
Oh, you're trying to actually remember.
Okay.
Do you know?
No.
Yeah.
No.
No.
Wait, wait.
No.
Sorry.
I thought I might have it, but no.
I don't remember what I ate that day.
That was Saturday.
That wasn't long ago.
He had a, uh, that, um, it's kind of a chain, but it's not really, it's right
near the Regal Battery Park, Elves, that sort of Mexican place there.
Oh, sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you ate there.
And now the pressure's on.
I got to figure out what I ate.
See, that's one of the things, too, right?
Eat before you go see what will be a four-hour movie experience.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Oh, no, I remember I had a Caesar salad with grilled chicken, yes.
Oh, wow.
Oh, look at you, chicken up great.
Yeah, yeah.
But it was at a dirty bar, folks.
It wasn't highfalutin.
Okay.
No, no, no, no.
Yeah, so, you know, I saw it on IMAX.
I saw it at IMAX on Lincoln Square.
you know, maybe that was why I did not get up to go to the bathroom the entire time.
Like, I was inside the movie, you know what I mean?
Like, just that huge fucking screen for something like this.
And I had a cool realization.
I was like, large format stuff, whether it's, you know, IMAX or like, you know,
the big Dolby screen stuff, you know, each chain has a different name for that kind of thing.
Regal, RPX, or whatever.
it's also it's not just for you know cape crusader shit like watching this bone-chilling human drama
in the biggest screen in new york state you know it was great i was i was totally pulled in i felt
like you were stealing a car with blackie thompson that's how immersed you were that's right
yeah yeah that's cool i wish i had seen it at a uh a bigger screen i mean i went to a smaller kind of
indie theater upstate and it was in because of Taylor Swift it was in the smaller theater
and it kind of felt like a disservice like I wanted to see this bigger right right I kind of
want to go see it again to be honest it's me too you know unlike the Irishman I mean like the
Irishman uh is a less of a harrowing story because it's more of a personal drama about some
guy that's a fucking mobster like who cares not who cares but I mean like obviously we're telling
the American evil story yet again there right here it is so the story it's
itself is so harrowing, but it moves.
Like the way that it's paced is really, really gratifying in terms of just like
keeping you watching, keeping you invested in the relationship that Lily Gladstone has
with, you know, DiCaprio's character and like the whole thing and just sort of like her journey
versus what De Niro has going on with, I really think it's a really great DeCaprio performance too.
Like him is this dirt stupid guy that has.
And I mean, like, I think the movie works because in his brain, he actually loves his wife.
And that, I mean, like, which is probably, I would imagine some, what do you call, artistic license is who knows who loves anybody.
But like, playing it that way while having the ability to do what he does, not just to his wife and her family, but to her people and all that around her, but being stupid enough to just sort of be able to turn that, that switch off in your brain.
and we're like, well, that's just my, you know what I mean?
Like, I still love my wife. You know what I mean? I'm still a good guy.
You know what I mean? Like, I love my wife and I love my family, but my uncle told me to do this.
You know what I mean?
It really anchors it.
Him, the whole like, I still love my wife, even though I'm being the worst shit heel possible.
Yes.
It really anchors it. And I think you're right, Steve.
I don't, I don't, I didn't feel the runtime, really.
No.
It kind of moved along from it.
It did.
Yeah.
Yeah. No, it definitely did.
I think this is, um, the most.
bone-chilling that
Robert De Niro has ever been
like Max Katie, this boy's
life, whatever, like
he's utterly terrifying
because it's all this
just pure evil
masked as like
he's my best friend.
I want that insurance policy on his life,
but he's my best friend and I love
these people. Everyone, you know,
all these Osage are his best fucking friend
and he loves them all and he's
speaking the language. Like it is
such a calculated evil which is more terrifying than like an open um you know grabbing leo and
hitting him around kind of evil it's like this yeah it's sinister because it's like you believe
him you know you're like yeah i think he does kind of like them in this culture but he's still
doing these things it's just like that double edge it's it's interesting to watch a character
have those perspectives yeah people can have two things in their brains at the same time and i think
that's what the movie asks of a lot of these actors is like no yeah you're having fun at
this party but you will eventually steal all their land and murder literally half of these
people because it suits your interests and i think that like if i if i was todd phillips
he must have had a usual suspect ending when uh when uh when uh kevin spacey starts walking
normally because he'd be like oh wait he could still act i thought that he was just done in my
movie like in in the joker he is so shitty
in that movie. Oh, dude,
I didn't know where you were going with this because
De Niro. De Niro's in that movie. De Niro is just so
like, unchecked out. You're like, well,
that's just De Niro these days. And then he turns in this
performance. You got to be like, fuck I want my money back.
You know what I mean? That guy owes me some money.
If he could do this in a Scorsese movie,
I just think he's fantastic. I think, yeah.
He is great in this. He's coming out swinging. I think that
the collaboration matters. You know, like
versus the guy that did the GGS.
and documentary or you know what I mean
like old school he needs
someone like Scorsese
and him there's something to talk about there I couldn't imagine
what Todd Phillips could even say
to get a performance out of Robert De Niro
No yeah how like how did the guy
who did three hangover movies direct Robert
De Niro in that it turns out he didn't
yes the answer is no like De Niro on the screen
memorized his lines and then it was like
all right I'm kind of playing like a blowhard
talk show host yeah got it
like you just like it is
night and day these two
movies, these two performances, I mean,
the movies are too.
Lily Gladstone, just
fucking shoot to the top
of the, should get
all the awards list.
Man, she was amazing. I'm so
glad she did not give up acting
before she was able to
be in this movie, and now
like, you know, she deserves
all the accolades. She deserves
all the roles.
Just
amazing. Just
watching this stunning
heartbreaking performance. Like every
shot just like
shattered my heart.
You're suggesting we might see
her on Hollywood's biggest night.
I think there's a decent chance
Hollywood's biggest night will come calling for
Lily Gladstone. I hope so.
The scene, I think it's when her
sister, spoiler, when
her sister is murdered,
which finds that out, she's in the basement
and that whale she lets out
is just like,
it cuts through the theater man
it is just sort of like
it's one of those things where it's like
you feel like should we leave
like you know what I mean
like we'll let her
we'll let her deal with
oh no it's a movie that's right
but you're I mean that
Steve I think that's kind of a great observation
right because like you're so
in it and this is all so
personal and you sort of feel like
I should you know
I'm getting like personal family information
that I shouldn't be experiencing
right now you know what I mean like you're at
you're at like a friend's house and like someone gets horrible news and you're like I probably
shouldn't be here for this you know what I mean and that it felt like we were really getting a peek
behind you know into this family's life and I just felt like this is horrible and heartbreaking
and I probably should go wait in the lobby you know what I mean and I think that like the ending
which somebody you know had an issue with in the chat which we were looking at before but like
the very ending there, which I'm not going to actually spoil what it is.
But I think that what works about it for me, what I love is it is Scorsese really like openly, open hands being like, this is yet another retelling of this story.
You know what I mean?
By a mostly white, by a mostly white creativity.
That's a great point.
That's a great point.
And he literally comes out and it's just like, that's what you just watched.
You know what I mean?
like this and you know like it's in a long history of this uh there's probably going to be more
hopefully you know etc etc but like it just it it is a really interesting way to sort of tie that
in and have not of me a culprit because i think that you know he he deserves to make that story
because he you know he he worked on it so hard and he smartly said it in a white from a white
perspective so that sort of allows him to sort of operate in that world but at the same time like
I think it is just sort of like a little bit of a like this is, this is where we are.
You know what I mean?
This is what this is what this is.
Yeah, no, totally.
And I think it also sort of also winds up speaking to like our, you know, endless grim fascination with true crime.
Yes, exactly.
Look for how long people have been eating up stories like this, right?
And it makes you start to think like, why.
And it made me think like literally like, why am I sitting in this theater, you know, watching it?
You know what I mean? It just makes you start questioning all of this stuff.
And yeah, I think it is him being like, hey, I've heard the concerns.
I totally understand it.
But here, you know, here's me in the perspective because.
And also some fucking totally great cameos in that last bit too.
Speaking of the roles, I got to tell you, there is nothing more satisfying than a 11th hour John Lithgow citing in a movie.
Oh, wow. Yeah, I did not see that coming.
Yeah, it was great.
I did not. I did not see that coming at all. I thought it was really great. Fraser, totally great. This is like pre, you know, the whale, you know, him losing all that weight. He's still, he's still big guy phrase here. But he brings it, man. I think I was reading some people who were having problems with his performance. I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah. Yeah, I was fine with it. And it's not like he's in it a ton, but he is a ton in it.
Oh, come on. But he's great. No, it's just like, I just like, I just like,
his big booming like,
it's really worked.
It really worked for me.
That and no sudden move,
the Soderberg movie,
he's that like,
he's like weird Orson Wells period,
which I could,
I know it's not healthy for it,
but I could take a little more of that,
my friend.
Yeah, no,
absolutely.
Yeah,
I mean,
the whole stuff with Lithgow,
man,
it was kind of weird
because like the next most recent thing
I'd seen Lithgow do
was when he was on that first season
of Perry Mason also playing a lawyer.
Yeah.
This is like his weird like lawyer period maybe
But he's so great
He's so fucking great in the movie
All the people that just sort of
Populate this movie
Like I don't know
Look on IMDB
Look through that fucking cast list
It's amazing
It's a treasure trove of amazing performances
I don't think I could single out
Like a week one in the bunch
Like no matter the size of the role
Yeah even like the small characters
Like Blackie Thompson who I mentioned earlier
Like I believe that guy is a little evil shit or whatever
I'm just from that performance.
Right.
And all the
Sturgle Simpson was really good in this.
Oh, yeah, dude.
Little stuff like that.
And I mean, like, it's just, it's sort of like,
it's one of Scorsese's least ambiguous movies
because you don't, like, Goodfellows,
you're watching it.
You're kind of yucking it up with the mobsters
while you're watching this sort of moral rot on,
unfurl, this is just, you feel gross the entire time.
Like, there's no like, there's no like,
these are the party days.
Like the closest you get to that is the Native Americans in the beginning
actually experiencing the joy of finding all this money,
which is sort of like,
that's like the closest you get to like,
we're all going to live together and fuck tonight kind of a thing.
Right.
Just a Sorsesey staple.
Yeah.
I would love to have had, though,
the Irishman titles for all of the fates of these people come up in this movie.
Like this fucking racist piece of shit,
car bomber, this is when he died
in jail, like, or whatever, you know what I mean?
Like, give me all that stuff. Throat cancer,
throat cancer, throat cancer, throat cancer, throat cancer,
throat cancer, throat cancer, throat cancer, horrendous
automobile accidents while battling
throat cancer. They did a little bit of that wrap up in the ending thing.
But yes, a little bit, but I just
there is something about like
the way it pops, but that's why it's not, right?
Because the way it pops up in the Irishman
is kind of funny. That guy
the guy
in this who's also in the Irishman
who gets shot in the face
in the Irishman really
kind of comically
that guy like
I don't know that I've seen him
in anything else
the skinny dude
yeah the skinny guy
who is the car bomber guy
yes he is I forget
he's somebody's brother
I forget like
he's a little bit of a Hollywood royalty
I look at it got it
so real quick
because our guest is here
ready to roll I will just say
five nights at Freddy's man
like yeah if it's for
children, fine, but it was not for me.
And I got to say, Emma Tammy, the director, directed a really great horror movie several
years ago called The Wind, which is like this frontier times, this woman is alone in her house
and her husband's like, I got to go off to the other side of the valley to go pick something
up or whatever, BBL. And then it's like, oh, is someone here like fucking with me on the
prairie while I'm all alone in the middle of nowhere? Amazing vibes.
None of which found in Five Nights at Freddy's, I have to say.
It did not work for me.
Josh Hutcherson, bless his soul.
He don't got the juice, man.
I'm sorry.
And it's just like all these like, yeah, these animatronic robot come in the life movies.
Like the thing, I guess for me, why they don't work is like these things aren't talking.
You know what I mean?
There was that the Joe Begos horror movie that came out last Christmas where it's like a robotic Santa comes to life and kills people.
The guy ain't talking.
It's not fucking scary.
It's just a lumbering puppet costume thing.
Even when the Simpsons did it, the itchy and scratchy robots, they were talking.
Shopping Mall, the top of this whole pyramid, the very, very top.
Yes.
Have a nice day.
You know what I mean?
It's something.
It's something.
Anything.
Yeah.
And also, you better believe we're dealing with childhood trauma in this fucking five nights at Freddy's.
Don't worry about it.
In this video game adaptation, the silly little games and.
Tronauts, don't worry. Childhood
trauma is addressed thoroughly.
Press X to reflect on childhood trauma.
Mash the
keypad now to get these bad
dreams out of your head.
Whatever.
Stream it on Peacock, if you must.
That's 78 million fucking dollars,
man. I just...
I cannot even believe it.
Our next guest is an author who's written
books like Party Like a President. True Tales
of Innebriation, Letchery and Mischief from the
office and and now
an oral history of late night with David Letterman
his latest book, you talking to me
definitive, the definitive guy
to iconic movie quotes is out now.
Please welcome to on screen live, Mr.
Brian Abrams.
Killers on the Flower Moon was like
too long.
Oh, didn't you so mad there was
an intermission? You had to pee?
Yeah. Why was it
so long? This will adhere you to the audience.
That's good.
This is my
my real voice, too.
Oh, good.
Yeah.
He's doing some character work here, I think.
There it is.
I've been, I've been listening to you guys way too much lately, so it's just sort of
it infects you.
And I'm sure your listeners, like, go around doing their worst, um, and then at Walsh.
Um, so the new book, man, here's, here's the cover.
Loving this.
Let's see.
Howell, can you get a copy of this for the folks at home?
Let's get a close look on that.
Thank you, Hal.
So, Brian, does this book need any setup is what my question.
Does it need set up?
Not really.
No.
I mean, it's good.
Just go get it.
It's good.
Just go get it.
Yeah.
To pay you a compliment, I mean, there's, you know, some of these you'd think like,
oh, it's just when Harry met Sally and it's like a toilet book or something.
But you go into really good context here and you cover a lot of older movies, which I almost
wasn't expecting.
Yeah.
Well, well, thank you, by the way.
So I think it is a toilet book, but it's like a smart toilet book.
It's for, like, the intelligent shitter in you, you know?
Right.
Oh, dude, that's got to be on the next book for the intelligent shitter in you.
Now that I have your blessing, this is living in the bathroom.
But this is a good, I just, you know, you do, you do really cover the context really well of what makes that quote, you know.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, what, what you said earlier was like, I know what you mean that you didn't want people to think like this book.
So it's called like, you talking to me, the definitive guide to iconic.
movie quotes. That sounds like, oh, it's just like a buzzfeed listicle on paper. It's just like
a quote with like two sentences or something. But no, I wanted to like analyze and and dig into like
how, you know, dozens and dozens of these iconic lines have kind of spread and like where they came
from and if there's interesting kind of Hollywood analysis to get into. And I also know what you
mean that like, like I don't want to read a book that's just kind of a rehash of the top 100 AFI quotes because
it's not that's not really like the quotes that are underneath every household you know like
there's a monologue from um the mac where uh roger moseley like he gives this speech to his brother
and it's this like obscure black exploitation movie from 73 but it's been sampled on like a hundred
hip hop tracks and i guarantee everyone knows it if you just like youtube the mac monologue it's
there and you're like oh yeah that's from dr drake um and so like that deserves attention as opposed to
whatever AFI members are looking at, right?
Was there movies that you got to that you were like,
like the screenplay is so banging,
there's so many lines like,
how am I going to whittle down?
You know, I mean, like, China Towns one,
you know, shit, there's a ton there or like jaws.
You know, so how was that process of like,
which line makes it and which doesn't?
Yeah, that was tough.
Like, because you want to have a balance.
You just don't want it to be like fucking 40 pages.
of Bogart quotes or something.
Because Casablanca has like 30 lines, right?
So you just kind of do your best to, like if, so the Casablanca entry is about
here's looking at you kid.
And I do try to fold in other mentions where I can if it organically fits in the story
I'm telling for that particular entry.
And then I made a whole section for like the Godfather and Star Wars.
And there were some other franchises that just kind of begged for that, you know,
because it's just, right.
And it's just a good way to kind of talk about it in a spanning way.
And then there were some that, like, I just found myself spending tons and tons and tons of time on because I thought they were iconic.
And it took me a year to be like, no, Brian, actually, you're just in love with the Pope of Greenwich Village.
Like, that doesn't go on.
Yeah.
That's got to be a tough.
I really enjoyed the feature boxes that you're going to have throughout this one that I'm looking at, the Welcome to the Party Pals, which is this kind of just going through.
die-hard rip-offs, and you have quotes, but it's also like, you've got Passage-57,
cliffhanger, under siege, speed, no contest, which is a movie that we've been circling around
almost doing forever, the Shannon Tweed, uh, beauty pageant, die-hard rip-off movie.
Have you watched it yet?
I haven't.
It's like on my list of like, I need to watch this movie.
Is it, is it great?
It's terrible.
I'm sure it's on like YouTube, but like this was a very sad moment for the dice man.
this is like it came out like 94 and in the credits he's listed as Andrew Clay oh yeah right so he's like
clearly he's licking his wounds from like realizing that his bit wasn't working and he was trying to
like tone it down to just be an actor in like the saddest diehard rip off of all times actually I have
seen this I totally forgot now that I see the robber date Robert Davy's in it it's coming back to me this
that's what that's what kicked it loose the Dobby's yeah Davy's all over this book by the way
Dovi heads.
Oh, yeah.
Dobby quotes.
Dobby quotes.
I did.
Hey, I had drinks with him a few years ago.
Really?
Tell us on.
I did an oral history of Diehard in like 2016.
And most people were just down for boners, which was great for me because you can just
get the recorder.
We can talk for a half hour.
We're done.
It's great.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Bye.
But he's like, yeah, I'm at the Bryant Park Hotel.
Come meet me here.
And I'm like, fuck.
Oh, wow.
And he's terrifying.
Could he talk your ear off about Barack Hussein Obama or anything?
So this was 20, it was 2015 when we spoke.
And he's just like, I like Trump.
Let me tell you why I like Trump.
Nice.
Oh, wow.
You were one of the very first to get his fucking unhinged, you know, video monologues that he
films in his car.
I was just trying to be nice and like as accommodating as possible about it.
I'm like, I just want to get diehard information from him.
So I don't want to be like, well, Trump's actually a piece of shit, you know.
And so he's telling me a story about he's like, look, my grandmother in Long Island.
And she doesn't understand.
Look, you're saying you want to change from a man to a woman?
I don't know.
She gave her a second to understand.
And it's just like, so you were the FBI agent in Die Hard.
Remember?
You're like, hi, hi, hi, hi, die hard.
The movie we're talking about it.
And now he wants to defund the FBI.
It's going to be certain.
So, when you come see my Sinatra show when you're done.
That's awesome.
I bet that's awesome.
another section of the book that I think is it's
primo for you know right now of course
we're in the spooky season
the whole Creatures of the Night section
and dude I appreciate
we've got some universal horror in here
we've got Dracula we've got Frankenstein
like love the acknowledgement
that black and white horror is
is quotable and good man
totally thanks yeah it's dreamy stuff
that's how I think of it right
and it's hard because it's like
it took me forever to appreciate it as in a kid
I'd always like fall asleep you know
because it's black and white and like
I need something like splattering in front of me
but I don't know I think if you see them on the big screen
if you get the chance that really that really does it
and then um for sure
and then also freaks
I just love and freaks yeah
which is now getting kind of a nice little re-evaluation
there's like a new
Todd Browning like criterion set that's out
that's a part of it too
yeah and speaking of like quotes
you know where stuff's come through with movies
the Ramones, man, freaks,
Ramones, like, he's in a pod.
That's really great. I got to say, though, with the horror
stuff, what, no, Chud?
I mean, come on, all the memorable lines
of Chud. What line would we?
I got the keys, Bosch.
Yeah, hey, Bob. What are you talking about?
Bosch. Yeah. Where's Bosch?
Yeah. Where's Bosch?
What's a Chud?
Yeah. You know, class of fucking lines.
If I, like, but we veer down
that way and, like,
you know, I don't know if there's like an
objective story. I mean, you could make up, you could figure out enough information if you really
passionately wanted to talk about something. But you do run into a corner if you're like,
I really don't got the juice on this one. It can include it. Right. So if there isn't like a,
if there isn't like a real story, you could dig into a chud. But if I could play by those rules and
start including just shit that I love, then it would be like dirty work. That's a great one.
Well, so he's dead. Yeah. Yeah, we love that one. That movie, that's like,
have to put the whole script in here.
Right.
Time to pay the fiddler whore.
That's great, you baby gorilla.
I think that there's really,
what I feel I love about your book is that it's actual movie quotes.
It's not,
I mean, like,
there's actually nothing worse than someone misquoting a movie.
Like,
it just,
it hits you right here.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Yeah, it just sort of,
I love that idea.
But now you can pull this out and be like,
excuse me, actually.
Exactly.
Right.
You know, a physical document.
Yeah, and I wanted to dig in enough, too, to where it's like,
I don't know how to explain this without, like, insulting all of us.
Like, I didn't, I didn't want it to read like it was written by a reference, bro.
Like, even though, like, we all have to admit that we are that.
Like, we just walk around and we do that anyway.
Like, I just wanted to be something you could read that's not like, hey, 19 quotes to fucking
bachber or whatever.
Yeah, exactly.
Yep.
Yeah, totally.
So, I mean, I was looking over, like, the rest of your.
your work on the Amazon store profile for you.
Pretty, like, diverse, you know, pieces of writing.
So what brought you to movie quotes?
You were like, you know what?
For the next one, movie quotes, let's do it.
I can answer that.
I mean, I was doing pop culture reporting for probably, like,
the first 10 years of my quote career or whatever in media.
And then, like, you know, I mean, basically Trump happened and Bernie happened.
And, like, just...
a lot of like normy people who may have just been like Hollywood geeks like you or me or whatever you'd get sucked into the political space so easily and so a lot of more generalist writers would just find themselves all of a sudden like oh okay I'm covering politics now and you have to play a hardcore catch up um and so that I mean the Trump era kind of delivered me into that for a while and so I yeah that's why I did this book on like um the entire Obama presidency basically and then uh COVID happened and I was lucky enough to
start just kind of jamming in a conversation with an editor I knew, and we knew that everyone
was like sucking down three, four movies a day anyway.
Yeah.
You know, might as well get paid for it.
Totally.
Exactly.
That's what we're trying.
What do you think we're doing right now?
So that old, we're doing this anyway.
Yeah.
Lots of security in that too, right?
Like, none of us have to worry about where we're at in 10 or 15 years or anything.
Oh, yeah.
Well, we'll be in a paupers grave.
Don't worry about that.
so anything that you
now that the book's out
anything that you regret not making it in
or if you ever considered like
maybe a volume two
what is something that I'd put in
that I got fucked over
and got cut out of this one
right no well every day
I'm like fuck I should have done that
or whatever but like it just doesn't matter
at some point you like to stay
I did what I did it's fine
but no if like if this thing like does sell enough
to where like the publisher does look at me again
and they're like oh we you weren't that much of a pain
in the ass and this old well let's
have another conversation. I would want to do TV
like that feels like the companion
piece to do, right?
And I'd make it a little thinner
too, I think. This one's like, but
like, you know, film, I feel like film discussion like
deserves a little more like umph.
Yeah, definitely, definitely.
So, that's that.
Now, do you think movies are becoming
less quotable? I mean, you do have modern
stuff here, but it, you know,
and I don't blame you at all.
Yeah, yeah. You know, you have, you have
like uh uh get out and and and and movies of that ilk but not tons in recent releases and i guess
that's might be also because you have to quote you have to it has to digest for a while you have to
quote yeah yeah oh no i was going to say that too that like i my editor and i when we'd had drinks
after this thing was over like we did talk about that we kind of like regretted that it didn't
it skewed so old and we were like that we kind of like squeezed in some shit that was just like
there is like from the year 2000 on i mean there's probably like stories of like i don't know
20 lines in there from there but like that's it's smaller right and so yeah i do think because
the last 20 years like movies haven't been at the center of culture it it is tougher to make that
argument that like like you know i probably could have put in like well that escalated quickly
or something like that because there's like a genuine argument made that's like this crazy meme
uh but i don't know fuck it you know we're all we're all we're
We're all watching the shit we want to watch.
People need to know these lines anyway.
It's a strength, I think, because there's so much more earlier stuff that people just know from cultural osmosis.
If you were filling it with more modern stuff, it would be a little lost.
Like, we were just talking about Killers of the Flower Moon.
I really enjoyed the movie.
Can I quote it?
No.
No.
Yeah.
I mean, that's also, I think, part of it too, right?
You need, like, rewatch time.
These, you know, the scripts need to, like, marinate in a person's brain over the years and, like, what comes out of it.
I mean, because, like, for every quotable line.
and even like Paso Blanca,
there's fucking 40 that you don't remember,
you know?
So I think it's just,
that's part of it too,
is you just got,
like you said,
Eric,
like you needed to be like pulled out of the movie
through cultural osmosis and just like thrown around.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And the other thing,
and this is going to make me sound like,
uh,
like some crotchy like Bill Maher fuck or something,
but like you,
people are like,
no quotes from like TikToks now.
Like,
you know,
like we don't,
really like not not everyone gets to like go to the video store every Friday and suck down
three movies that are terrible and yet you watch them front to back repeatedly anyway
that was a better time than what we have now I agree I'm a crotch to the old fuck myself
well the book is you talking to me the definitive guide to iconic movie quotes it's out
now wherever you get books I mean which for me is Amazon and bookshop dot org and I notice
they're both there anywhere else is there a place you'd prefer people pick it up or just
get the book where you can get it whatever's easy for people
people. I don't care. Yes.
There you go. I like that. Well, thanks for
coming on. Actually, actually, there's
a vegan. There's a vegan
feminist shop, an
East Village. No, I don't know.
But thanks for popping on, man. This was
great. Best of luck with the book. And
come back with the next one, all right? Thank you.
See you guys. Take it easy.
All right.
So we got to wrap up, folks,
just real quick. We wanted to give some Halloween
recommendations to you all.
super quick we each picked one now chris had a last second internet failure so that's why he
could not get here so i'll just say really quickly chris pick uh was cure the kioshi kurosawa
film from 1997 uh really really wild ass movie uh really good i would recommend uh you guys
check that out and as did chris uh eric siska quick Halloween recommendation yes uh i'm going to highlight
I just rewatched it
and it really held up for me.
Reanimator.
Yes, the Stuart Gordon,
the great Stuart Gordon film.
It is just,
if you like gloop and glop,
it's for you.
It's very cool,
mad scientist kind of riff
and based on the HP Lovecraft story
and Jeffrey Combs is just,
I love watching him.
I think he's fucking great.
After we watched Reanimator,
I put on the Frighteners.
because I wanted more Jeffrey Combs, you know?
Ooh, yeah, I forgot he's in that.
I'm recommending Ty West the House of the Devil from 2009.
I remember, you know, when I first saw it,
being totally knocked on my ass.
Jocelyn Donahue, I think, is absolutely great in it.
Tom Noonan's fucking terrifying in it.
And a very not yet famous Greta Gerwig
really getting hers in that movie.
Mind-blowing scene, yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Yes, Eric, you are.
I correct, it's a mind-blowing scene.
And I think mine will be
sort of the companion piece, the goofy
one you watch after
any of the ones previously
mentioned, a ghost house.
Oh, yeah. Also known as La Casa
3. In Italy,
Evil Dead came out
and they called it La Casa.
And it was so popular. Evil Dead
2 came out. They called it La Casa 2.
And then they were like, you know what? We're just going to start
and we're going to make our own film franchise
and this has nothing to do with
Evil Dead, Ghost House La Casa 3
is, it's basically
it's an Italian movie about
a haunted house. There's a, it's kind of
closer to poltergeist than anything else because there is
a haunted clown that's making
weird noises. It sure
is. It's a lot of fun.
It's, you know, your classic overdub
horror movie, great
kills. You will not be disappointed
if you put on Ghost House for
a fun kind of
destructo horror movie.
Yeah, yeah, no. These are, it's
top to bottom hardcore
recommends for all these movie folks
and Iberto Lenzie is the director of that movie
Steve and if you know anything
about that guy you know you're in for a wild
ass ride
the Lensie movie
so yeah
there we go folks we hope you
have a great Halloween tomorrow
now of course if you're still
gearing up getting all jazzed
for tomorrow's big holiday
you want to keep up with the sputacular folks
available right now is last week's
episode on The Purge
we had a lot of fun taking that down
and tomorrow on Halloween
after Devil's Night
my new favorite holiday
we're talking the devil's reign
with William Shatner and Ernest Borgnine
and if you guys want to watch for long
watch the movie pay attention to the movie it might be better
than you think yeah
yeah absolutely and our good buddy Ben Worcester
drops by for that as well
which is a lot of fun having him back in the studio
to do the episode now with that
devil's reign and the purge by the way
you can get those on the Patreon ad free
at the $8 level are up
so you're not bothered by any commercials there
or anything like that
it is designed to be listened to
I'll say that's no interruption
it's mixed in a certain way
on the Patreon that that's
that's the definitive version
and I know we could have put an intermission
into the episodes but you know
just watching it listen to it straight through
that's what we intend you guys to do
but you should also download the
Main feed ups, too.
Also do that.
Well, yeah.
And also, speaking to the Patreon, by the way,
so next month, November,
it is indeed we love movies month,
which means we are flip-flopping everything.
All main feed WHM Prime episodes
plots are going to be replaced with WLM episodes,
which means that the $5 and up level
we love movies episode is going to be replaced
by a $5 and up level we hate movies episode
where we're talking all about the Hunger Games.
There she is.
There.
Oh, yeah.
Jay Law and Elizabeth Banks and Woody Harrelson's wig.
All of that.
And the star of fucking Five Nights at Freddy's himself, Josh Hutcherson.
Oh.
As Peter Malarkey.
So all that and more over at patreon.com slash we ate movies.
Look for that Hunger Games episode dropping on Thursday.
So that's going to do it, folks.
We really hope you have a nice and safe Halloween.
Nobody eats a fucking fentanyl-l-laced apple or whatever those people want you to be terrified about.
Exactly.
Whatever fake thing they're talking about now.
Exactly.
And, of course, big thanks to Brian for coming and hanging out.
Pick up his new book out now.
That's it, folks.
Have a happy Halloween.
We'll see you next week.
I've been Andrew Juppin.
Eric says, get it.
See, he's back now.
Look what happened.
Steve, it took me.
What would happen was I would pause waiting for you and you're not there.
So anyway, go ahead.
You say,
we're going to
Steve and Sadek.
Eric's Liske.
Have a great week, folks.
Bye-bye.
Thank you.
