This week on the program, it's a holiday slasher that's counting down to kill night. it's New Year's Evil, I'm Andrew Jupin, Stephen Siddack, Eric Siska, Chris Cabin, Stuart Wellington, and we hate movies.

Hello, everyone, welcome to fine program, as always. Welcome to the final episode of 2024. And we thought, hey, what a way to send out this shitty year with bringing on a most righteous individual. Our guest today, you know him from the very funny Flop House podcast. It's Mr. Stewart Wellington. Oh, thank you so much. Yeah, I normally am on a podcast where we watch a bad movie and talk about it.

And today, I'm on a podcast where we watched a great movie and we're loving it. Exactly. Absolutely. Hell yeah, total classic. This is New Year's Evil from 1980 directed by Emmett Alston. Now, peep this filmography, fellas. This dude, not a lot of directorial efforts, but a lot of ninja-related stuff. Thank God.

First up, though, get this prick up yours for this one. Three-way weekend. Okay. As far as I can tell, no ninjas in that one. Maybe. You never know. They might have been there. They might have been watching.

Oh, that's true. Yeah, peeping ninjas. And then nine deaths of the ninja. Which has seen that one. Yes, me too. Oh, really? Yeah. It's pretty good.

Yeah, it's a show Koshugi and he's saving some school kids or something. Oh, perfect. All right. Either drug dealers or terrorists. I forget which one. But if you got Shokusha in there, it's immediately more of a legitimate ninja movie than not. Oh, yeah. Absolutely.

Tiger Shark, which that's 50-50 on whether or not there's a ninja in there. Force of the Ninja, pretty sure. Demon Warp with George Kennedy, which is an amazing movie where he's convinced Bigfoot has murdered his daughter and he tries to warn a bunch of

horny teens about it all while wearing a comical bucket hat. I like the idea that he was convinced. The way you say it, it sounds like Bigfoot didn't do and Bigfoot was framed. Not to spoil anything, but yes, that's sort of the thing. Yes, yes. Bigfoot was set up by George Kennedy and someone else killed his daughter.

Wow, okay. Swallow, aliens. It's aliens. It's aliens. Oh, and then a movie called Little Ninjas, which again, I assume. Oh, yes. You would have to think. Are none of these, are any of these under the auspices of canon films, or any of these under the label?

You know, that's a great question. You could go either way. Especially with that ninja stuff. You know, they didn't meet a ninja script they didn't love. That's what really sold me on this from the outset. I was like, well, it's a canon motion picture. That is the staple of quality in my house. You got the two Gs right up front.

Golin and Globus in this economy. Total sign of quality, man. This is my annual telling everybody who listens to this program to go watch Electric Bugaloo, one of the best. Oh, yes. Ever made about Canon films. it is on freaking i wish there was a documentary like this about every movie studio ever i really do i just want to let you know that occasionally on this show we're just going to stop everything to talk about

the ib it's going to happen at least four times okay yeah yeah um just notably the trivia section which i don't know you're an old podhead yourself you're looking at the ibdb for a long time you've noticed a dip in quality haven't you like it's it used to be reliable and now it's just not Yeah, yeah, you know, it's Google, just Google messing with the internet. You guys are talking before the show about how much your best buddy, Elon Musk, has been going to fix the internet. Yep. Oh, yeah.

We cannot wait. I love you guys. Yeah. The trivia reads, while Mindheim Golan and Yoram Globus are credited as producers, Billy Fine as executive producer, it was really Christopher Pierce, who handled the bulk of the production duties. Does anyone think that, like, Gollad and Globus were like, oh, no, this show. Schott needs to be on schedule. Like, no, they've always been doing

Coke and writing checks. That's all their productions were. I would wager, though, of the other side of that Steve, that last guy that was claiming he did all the work. That's a fake person. That was like a, for tax purposes, they created an individual. That was Globus for sure.

That was another Globus. And he just had that up there. And he's got 10 dependents and that's why he doesn't have to pay taxes. Well, it's like how every Neil Breen movie, the credits list all these N B's anybody whose name begins with N or B as Neil B

as Neil B in disguise. He's a genius. Anybody's first rodeo with this movie, Stu? What's your history with this movie? This is my first time, yeah, yeah. First timer, okay. Me too as well. Yeah, I've never seen this. I really enjoyed it. The song alone to get me in this New Year's Evil mood is just so good.

It's a banger by what the band Shadow, is that right? Shadow, which is great because this song is on Apple Music, but this happens, I don't know if this happens on Spotify a lot, but on Apple Music this will happen where it's like, if you're just like trying to find some obscure

person who did like the song from New Year's Evil, if their group name or whatever is also the name of another artist, they just lump this nothing song in with the other artist. So there's a dude, there's a rapper just called Shadow. Yeah, of course.

When you go to Shadow's Apple Music page, it's like a bunch of hip-hop records and then just the single for New Year's Evil. So is he cash and checks that should be going to this other shadow? Oh, yeah, dude, the fucking 120th of a cent that he gets for every 100 streams of New Year's Evil or whatever. Now that there's a 4K restoration of it, I mean, he might be looking for them checks. You never know. I was, I'm sorry, I am more of a dumb blondes fan. Oh, yeah. I think that's really a bang.

The month's a great song. I also, I love the beginning. The cold open is basically, we now join the substance third act already in progress. Like basically it is exactly that, except for all the body horror. You also, dude,

one of the eeriest things in this movie right from that establishing shot of Los Angeles, it sort of does like a little bit of a gentle zoom in to where like, I think we're supposed to be, you know, believing that this, you know, New Year's Eve specials being filmed and all the action.

is taking place in a seedy 1980 Los Angeles Holiday Inn. Look out for that old green holiday in sign. Terrifying. I can smell the bedbugs from here. I do like the opening when we're showing the city that there's these wild youth. They're just piled into this convertible. It looks like they're going to fall out.

There's, of course, van culture still happening. It's 1980s. So we get some breasts flashed from a van. usually nowadays it's a penis that flashes from the band yeah yeah now that woke Hollywood's in charge there's nobody right

nobody's surfing on top of vans that that yeah that would have been horrible that thousands of deaths were caused by that are any of them trying to make a living off of making videos of themselves living in the van and pissing and shitting and showering in the van I hope so and then one obviously is going to kill their girlfriend and run away and then die

I forget how did that guy go? I mean, that sounds like it, Eric. I think you got me. But there are many people, not just killers who are into the van life, although, you know, undiscovered, plenty of undiscovered. But the cold open, it's Blaze. We meet our heroine, Ross Kelly as Blaze Pinky Tuscadero, dude. Yes. Big Happy Days, dude, Stuart, or not so much?

I mean, it was the exciting tidbit of information I got to share with my wife. who was a little bit older than me and was very excited. There you go. Hell yeah, dude. Look, honey, the Fonz's girlfriend is in this movie. Yeah. She's like, what are you watching? Is it done yet?

I'm like, no, it just started. Honey, you wouldn't believe it. I have something to talk about. Come on over here. She's like, what streaming service are you watching this on? I'm like, it's screen flicks or something. Yes. Oh, dude.

Yeah, this little minor miracle known as screen picks or whatever the hell? It's like I said earlier I mean Steve you are apparently Have been hip to this for a while But like this service is kind of like a peek Into another dimension Where it's like pretty much exactly like this earth

But like they've just made different movies With the same actors we know I'm looking at stuff in here And I'm like what is this week? Robert De Niro's playing an illiterate line cook And some babes teaching them to read It sounds like a secret to be like another level Yes yeah yeah

Yeah, 2B is too mainstream, dude. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, my wife and I, whenever we want pure, because we've been hip to this for like a couple months now or maybe a full year, whenever we want pure shit to watch on a Friday or Saturday night, it's like, let's see what screenpicks has to offer.

And it'll be movies you've never heard of. We wound up watching a Judd Nelson erotic thriller. Yeah, you'll get those. Another one? Yeah, there's plenty of them. This movie that, the best man with Andy Dick and Dean Kane. Yeah, it's a really awful

film. Oh, my God. When did that come out last year? 2000, I think. It's like a Tarantinoe knockoff, but also an indie movie at the same time. The more you describe it, the worst it gets. But so, Roz Kelly is getting ready for this big like New Year's Eve special that she's shooting. We're told by this manager character

He's reminding her like This is the big payoff, baby It's what you've been working for your whole career Hosted a sleazy Los Angeles New Year's Eve special To which she replies It lets you know exactly where we are Richard take a lude or something And just mellow out

I don't even need to look at the calendar I know where what time it is Take a lude And get me my lude meanwhile her assistant ivan has has gone missing we talked to her for a bit she's our first opening kill which is pretty okay not the best in the world it's all right but i'll tell you important detail here uh because she is a blaze diane is her real name a blaze the on-air persona i guess it's like oh evan where's uh richard or whatever his name is

oh i just heard from richard he's in palm springs coked out He's definitely not going to be here for your big special. Remember, Richard is not going to be here for your big special. Oh, a whodunit is starting. Almost. That's what I love about this movie is like, from the jump, you know this person. There is no, like the who done it lasts for two seconds. Like, Yvonne gets killed in the shower.

Bullshit, like, she's pulled into the shower. You see his cute little knife. And then the shower curtain closes. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no. You want a Tom Savini-esque guy. on here. Somebody to do real cool blood effects. You don't get that in this movie.

This needs like prowler-esque effects. Yes. Yeah. And if you're not going to have like a mass killer or anything, you should like lean into, I don't know, lean into the like Gialo elements or something. Do a lot of like eyeball closeups and shit. Yeah. Oh, hell yeah. And if you do it that way,

we're certainly getting better music. Because you're either goblin or a goblin adjacent ripoff band. Cannon was known for neon light usage. You know, These colors, bright colors. Just give me some, you know, close up on a leather hand. That's all I need.

That's all I need. You mean a gloved hand, leather gloved hand, not like an old man that's been sunbathing too long. No, that's the guy making the movie. Yeah, exactly. Jack Palance. One of these glam punks that are writing around, I just noticed in my notes and I wanted to mention it because he was an amazing,

dude, one of the glam punks in that van or the car that's stacked with, I think I counted nine people. I couldn't count. There's so many people in the car. It looks exactly like Jack Terrycloth. Yes, he did. Oh, right, yeah. And then that guy wound up, he winds up being, like, in the studio audience.

And I think he's, like, he's supposed to be, like, drugged out, like, in love with her or whatever. Because he's, like, front row, like, coked out staring at her. But that dude looked exactly like Jack Terrycloth, which was weird. I do kind of love the, so it's her show. And it's like, we've got, oh, it's going to be a fantastic show. We've got Shadow is here. Woo, Shadow! and made in Japan and that's it

you want like a third band maybe what more do you want they got everything covered and they're like going to alternate one after another like song by song a call in segment which I couldn't tell if it's actually broadcast as part of the show or not I guess it is maybe I guess that you're supposed to believe that but like they certainly don't act like it's being

for mass consumption that's not what I got the feeling I mean, you want a name that someone off of the fucking street who is walking into your film would be able to notice, not shadow and made in Japan. No. Like, the adolescence or something, I don't know. Maybe in the world of this

film, Chris, made in Japan is like talking. Yes. Like, they're just as big. Then I need to see some t-shirts. I need some posters. I need some signage. I need something. Yeah, you need to build the world of the movie. Yes. Yes. I need to know what this is. I need

Absolutely. A little zine culture here. World building for the first 45 minutes would it really helped out. I want a brutalist like a runtime for this. I'm so excited about like I love, I'm such a sucker for the like 1980s heavy metal horror film craves. You're like treat of treats, your black roses. Oh, yes, baby. Yes, that's a great movie.

And so I like, I was excited for that, but you know, I guess they're a little more of a punk Rocky thing and at first I was like this is a theme song wow they got a theme song for this and then I'm like oh shit it's dietic like we get a song like 10 more times and they're like playing it for an audience yeah they paid shadow

$500 for the rights to that song and they got every penny's worth on screen it's a hot meals too I imagine a few hot meals yeah anybody doing it at New Year's Rock and Eve anymore I my wife and I will do the thing we're like you watch the ball drop right

you'll give the three minutes before the ball drop. And I can't imagine watching one of those, any New Year's special where someone is talking to you for three hours and having guests. Those things seem to get worse every year. They do and that's why we continue to

tune into them. It's like a but it's not the whole thing in this house. It's like you watch a movie up until like we'll give it maybe 45 minutes or so and like that way you miss like jelly roll singing a song and whatever the fuck, you know what I mean? And it's just like

it's your yearly check-in with Mr. Worldwide Pitbull, you know? You got to see what he's been up to this year. How else are you going to see Evalongoria? You know what? She'll be there for sure. This music's not too. If they had made in Japan, I'd be watching it every year. Oh, sure, yeah.

Also, was I the only one that thought the dudes in made in Japan look exactly like the dudes in Shadow, and I just thought it was the same band? They're very, very similar. I think Shadow's a three-piece, and maybe there are a four-piece, it's possible. If you see the extra guy

You've got made in Japan there. Influence each other a little bit, I think. Yes. Sure. We meet Diane's loser son that I kind of want more of this guy, Derek. Oh, man. Raw, not a loser.

He got a fucking roll on Starship America, motherfucker. Oh, true. He's got a top coat with tails on it. What the hell could Spaceship America or Starship America be? Is that like supposed to be like a Galactica, 1980? It's got to be that kind of a thing, is what we're talking about. He looks

like you would fit right into Galacta or is it like a drugged out dance show. Also true. This dude is a weird hulking, like he looks like Incredible Hulk mid-transformation. The collar is straining the entire, I just want to be like, dude, can we just open that up a little bit, let you breathe, pal?

Yeah, like you're at your mom's hotel room, man. Like, someone just did Coke in the bathroom. You don't need the top button button. Like You can relax a little. You know who he reminded me of? Have you guys ever seen Friday the 13th, Part 5? Oh, yes. Several times.

So the gentleman who is the killer, this guy's got that same energy. Roy. Roy, he's in the real Roy energy, absolutely. I can see that. He does have a little bit of Roy energy there. BRA, they call that Big Roy energy. Yes. Yes, but he does, yeah, he's got a lead on the show.

We don't know, though, if this thing is, like, picked up a series. You don't know what's going on here. But it's a big moment in this kid's life. But I guess it is. I do kind of see mom's point though. She's in the middle of a live broadcast and he's like, mommy, mommy, mommy. Yeah, no, it's bad timing

and the movie, like, the movie makes her look shitty. Like, I mean, I guess don't outwardly ignore your child, right? Sure. But like, also, yeah, like, she's got a fucking show to put on, man. This is live television. This is what she's been working as the manager said, her whole career for. Andrew, thank you. There

are dozens of people here to see her do there are, I saw upwards of 70 people mosh pitting. So you know what? You can only fit that many people in the holiday in ballroom, but it's the hundreds of loners

out on, you know, New Year's Eve watching this from wherever it is. Watching punk rock countdown. Like I just, can you imagine someone being like, finally someone's going to offer an alternative to the ball drop? Yes. Somebody's going to do it. I would love to see that the marketing campaign yeah the hard times presents yes the more local things

are always amazing though like there was the famous la thing from several years back oh right with jamie kennedy the jami kennedy hosted thing that pat nalswalt like made famous because he was like watching it live and tweeting about it or something like there's that there was one um it's on youtube there's someone from like new york city in the 80s that's supposed to be another like fantastic kind of thing. What was the Jamie Kennedy one? Did he heckle the ball? No, it was like drunk women, like fought with each other on camera, like a fight broke. It was, oh, dude. It was just sad. You got to look it up. It's like Los Angeles local New Year's Eve countdown hosted by Jamie Kennedy. And it was a train wreck from like the jump. It only got worse.

Speaking of train wrecks, we're also taking, we're not taking requests. We're taking votes for what the best new wave song of the year is on the air the first one someone asks for we don't need no education which she's like that's not an actual song exactly it's like no nice time

asking if I've seen the wall Stuart have you seen that new we don't need no education mom you're embarrassing me in front of my friends no I want to vote for that door song The time to hesitate is through.

I thought it was a fantastic song. But of course, here comes evil. He bought a Gilbert Godfrey voice modulator on the internet. And this voice is fantastic. I love it. It's so much. It's like the little like the Peter Frampton like tube synthesizer thing that he's using. Yeah, yeah.

It's like that. And it reminds me of, it reminds me that the New York Ripper with the duck voice guy. But that's obviously better. Classic sleazy New York movie. Yeah, that's a sleazy gross movie. But the duck voice is cool. It's great. How did Fulchie never get into the cannon fold?

I don't know. That seems like a marriage made in heaven right there. Yeah. Yeah. But this is evil. And I will kill someone every time zone, every hour on the hour. There's a great where she goes. do you have a vote

for Song of the Year? And he just goes, no. But I do wish that like the other callers would maybe call in and reference this guy maybe make it a bigger deal. This is Hollywood hotline. Let's lean into this call-in element.

Some world building. Yeah, just to find out there's more people out there. I mean, like, literally that's the problem with the movie if there is one, pardon. but like... Sure. Jury's still deliberating. Yeah, we'll see.

But yeah, it's just not big enough. Like you do. You want to see more, you want to hear more people. You want to have them some boundaries to figure out that like, yes, this is a real thing that's being broadcasted, I guess. If like the greater Los Angeles area was like getting hip to it, right?

And then everybody was talking about evil. Oh, evil keeps calling it. Maybe it would be like when the, like, you know, when Los Angeles got together and caught the Night Ripper. Remember that? Richard Ramirez was just out on that street and everybody was like, there he is. And they, like, surrounded him until the police came.

That poor man. Oh, man. Railroated by his neighbors. Yes, I mean, innocent until proven guilty. I didn't follow the case after this moment. I mean, it's a different city, but now I just think of like Harry running up to tell Sally, like, I love you. I love everything about you.

In the background, yet another young lady has been slain by the New Year's Evil murderer. This is five now within three hours. I hate you Harry I hate you I hate you almost as much as Los Angeles hates evil shut up people are being murdered I love Dick Clark on the other end

he's because it's this is like Prime New Year's Rock and Eve he's like they're upstaging us with murders we did our own murders we did it come on you have to know an assassin come on you produce for NBC you have to have no an assassin Dick Clark kills someone and then they're like

he's got dementia okay it's Ryan Seacrest now. Yes, it is. But so basically we cut to our first kind of kill, which is at some sanitarium where he, we see our killer, played by Kip Niven by the way, great name. Yes, hell yeah. And he's looking great too, my gosh. He looks amazing. And he, like, he cashes checks on those looks because that's like

half the people he kills, he tricks him into thinking he's just a hot guy. Yeah, oh, absolutely. Yeah, oh, absolutely. Hot guy with or without an obviously fake mustache. Oh my God, that was so... I was waiting for it to fall off with those girls. He's a master of disguise, Andrew, okay? He really is. Which means you have a mustache

or you dress up like a priest. That means your... This is as close to, like, trap was in being, like, a hitman movie. Yeah. Like, the hitman video game. Like, he has a fucking attach full of, like, cheap disguises. And he is, like,

he's killing dudes, putting on their clothes. It's amazing. That's really great. We got to, we got to into the idea of, like, We have to reflect that, like, how, like, rotten killers are in the soap by making them ugly. I'm like, no, no, no. Most of them are hot. Most of them are a little attractive.

So it's better to do it this way, I say. The Bundy rule, I think, is the best. You ever see BTK? What a tall drink of water. That guy, I mean, like, maybe like a roadside bar. He's picking up someone. But, yeah, he's not a big timer. Dennis Raider looks like an extra from Cheers, man.

But remember, that's what your mother liked. That's what my mother. You know, everyone, that was a different time. True. That's fair. That's fair. But finally, I finally had that talk with my mom. I'm sure you guys have had the same talk with your mom's in that during the 90s in the peak of the erotic thrillers, was Michael Douglas a fucking smoke show?

And my mom's like, yeah, he had like an edge. Totally. You know. It's just, you know, Michael Douglas always just looked like a little too skeletal for my tastes. But yeah, I guess the ladies were, that's the edge. possible. Not enough cushion for the pushing for you. My mom always said that he looked a little evil

and she liked that. Makes sense because her number one crush, of course, is willing to fuck. Oh, wow. About as sinister as it gets. So our dude gets in. By the way, this sedentary I'm like, again, New Year's Rocket Eve,

I'm sure they had like a very quiet and calm show going on. But no, we're going to in this room full of catatonics and like cuckoo's nest knockoffs the fucking punk show and these dudes are moshing it's like it's pretty amazing

I mean you might as well give them a class on moshing because nobody's really doing it seems like people are just doing like a like shoulder check to each other you know you know what to remind him of exactly Chris was when Kramer is auditioning

for the music video and it's just them like in the room and they're kind of just pushing each other back and forth. It's really lame moshing. Also, too many suit jackets in that room for moshing. Some people are dressed like they're fans of the bands that they came to see that night.

Or they're dressed to go to like a fancier than this will be New Year's Eve party. Right, but it is new wave, right? And that's a little dorkier than your traditional punk. I swear that one of the, like, either Golden or Globus saw like a story about moshing on the news and they're like, I have a fucking great idea for

a movie. Mosh and two Break an electric boogaloo Well because yeah The goal is like I have a great idea for a movie Globus is like how much does it cost And like yes

It's just young men pushing each other I would rent the mosher And it's like you know This concert could be your last right Because the moshers You already had that queued up I bet that's a great title Or you'll never escape the pit

There you go These are all great but remember their big thing was whenever there was a dance craze and I do believe Moshing would be would put in there they would make a like a romance centered around learning what the dance craze is and I would love to see like Moshin with an apostrophe them learning how to do it because like they

they did that with break dancing but then they also did it like with the LeBot when the Lombo came back Forbidden Dance baby yes they did two of them and it was like just like oh man I would have loved to see two with this. Kevin Dylan is moshin. Yes. Oh, yeah. Off the heat of the blob roommate, you know, you just go right

into it. But so meanwhile, our evil murderer is dressed as an orderly with a bottle of champagne and it's the 80s. There's, of course, going to be another sexy orderly immediately just chat this lady. He's like, I'm here to help out with the overflow and she's like, oh yeah, we can use

that work. It's like, yeah, we really could. You want to go drink with me? She's like, absolutely. There's some classic flirting here. like, oh, I saw you brought your own music because he carries her on this boombox to record the murders with. And then he says, I always come well equipped. And she says, I bet you do.

Hell yeah. I was getting steamy in my house. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Let's get down for some dirty Randy sex. While meanwhile, out in the games room, there's a guy walking around literally acting like a monkey while they watch that fucking.

There's a dude that is straight up, uh, a around the little activity room. I love how it's not. after my shift. How about before my shift that I'm starting? We drink the champagne and fuck. Yep. A little bit more responsible, you know? Just so you can get right in there, coast right in. Now, this is where something really weird happens, though. So he's like... How so? It just is insofar as like the music that we've been talking about so far. And then he's like, oh, cool. Like, yeah, let's have a drink and like maybe make out a little. And he turns on his little radio. And it's a clearly like,

a blues song. And then we cut back to that studio and this fucking band is playing blues music out of nowhere. Yeah. What are we doing? They knew they were, they knew they were, uh, they knew they were being sexy time music.

Oh yeah. Someone somewhere might be having sex in a mental institution break room. Nobody. Nobody, but nobody makes out the dumb blonde. Nobody. So you know what? You gotta slow it down a little bit.

This is a little better in terms of the kill. You get like the hand and getting bloodier as it's kind of a switch blade though is the problem it's a little dinky as a weapon yeah you know what i mean it's not that could break that could break very easily but it's kind of elegant at the same time yeah no i did compared to like a straight razor i feel like it doesn't have the same right that's true that's got personality to it like and or like a full-on butcher knife if you're gonna go that way yeah i guess the switchblade you'd need like 30 40 stabs to really get the job done with a butcher knife, you know, you could get it done

at two or three I've seen. They also make fun of the switchblade like right at the beginning of the movie because when the overstuffed car of teens gets to that holiday in, the dude gets out and the security guard's like, where's your tickets? And the dude pulls out a knife and puts it right up to his face and then click

oh, it's the comb and they start laughing at him. So like, you've already made fun of this weapon at the start of the movie. Bad choice. Bad choice. The police detective is there now basically. much against his will. He's like, oh, you know, you punk, you punk rockers or, you know, you're making up these stories. He's blaming this woman. He's like, he's like, what did you expect to

happen with the kind of people you, like, draw for your audience? I was like, buddy, eat shit. Yeah. He's saying, I think it's him who says, you're getting that phone freak. You're, you have the hotline on a punk rock New Year's Eve. What do you think was going to call in, sir? Excuse me. Do you think it was somebody in a tuck? Cedo was going to call into this. Not happening. No, but not every punk out there is like, I'm going to kill someone when midnight strikes in every

time zone. Oh, Sid Vicious. He did that. Yeah, he did do that. Yeah, he did you stab one fucking woman. It's the only thing they remember you about Steve. Jesus. Steve, did you notice the actor who portrayed this lieutenant of the police force here? I missed him. Who is he?

Chris Wallace. Apparently, he's in one episode of the Australian The Slap. Oh, okay. Yeah. I just want to bring that up to you because you're a slap aficionada. I'm an American slap, slap expert. That is different. You haven't gone international? I am not going to national.

You got to go back and go international. Also known as NBC's the slap. Yeah, of course, yeah. Stuart, did you guys watch the slap? No, I didn't see the slap. Yeah, that's probably fine. Steve just got back from a conference in Australia about it. Oh, that's cool.

Slapcom. Yeah, he's a key speaker. They put him up at a Westin. It was nice. oh wow that's not bad that's not bad right could be worse but so he calls it again

he's like I killed her midnight Eastern Standard time and he's like let's go to the videotape I love that he's got the thing ready for there

yeah and he's going and we've been doing we've all been podcasting for a while and I got to tell you we like I know tech difficulties

I am sure this guy would have had tech to it for God. Oh, yeah, totally. This thing goes off. It sounds way cooler in where I'm at, actually. Wait, wait, that's the wrong part of the tape. Hold on, I'm rewinding. Oh, shit, there's a car outside that's honking.

It's going to obstruct the owner. Hang, just give it a minute. He's trying to pull out. Hang on a second. Trying to leave a message here. But it is kind of funny to watch it. Like, the physicality, because he's got, he's in a tiny phone booth. He's got this enormous boombox.

He's also got the voice to watch. He's like, and now I'm, Okay, hold on, let me just grab that. He's doing all this funny business of moving this stuff around. To continue the call, please deposit five cents. Oh, God damn it. You better hope that no fucking curious

Kathy fucking goes by this place because, like, you would remember this. This guy who has like seven things in his arms while like saying, The killer will come for you in an hour. I do. Next up is our fake mustache. It's a scuzzy part.

at the scuzzy bar. Bury me at this bar, by the way. This place looks awesome. Yep, yep. Looks pretty great. Stuart, I imagine this is what the Hinterlands New Year's Eve party looks like at this bar. Oh, boy, yep.

Everybody's getting murdered. Well, the murder happens off site. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, we set that rule for our patrons. If you're going to murder somebody, you have to murder them at a second location. Take it outside. All your, all your murdering.

Yeah, that's the thing. I think I've worked New Year's Eve for the last, like, 15 years now. Yeah. And so I always have New Year's Rock and Eve playing on in the background. And hopefully, I am busy and don't have time to watch Pitbull cavorting around stage. Yeah. That's the hope.

But no, I wish, I mean, obviously, I wish that the bars that I owned were, you know, 1970s dance clubs filled with fake mustache fellows. Hell yeah. Uh, yeah, I don't think, uh, although I think we have a DJ this year's, and that is all requests. So I think, uh, somebody is getting New Year's Evil requests it. Oh, hell yeah, dude. Got to do it. And if that guy, oh yeah, if that DJ dares say they don't have it, be like, look, I know for a fact it's on Apple music and it's available on YouTube to figure it out. Get direct linkage to them. Make sure they know. By the way, that's what DJ's like. by now in our narrative we've also gotten i guess derrick is functioning as a red herring i guess

putting on like leggings over his head he's taking pills i thought he was going to kill himself because his mommy didn't care about spaceship america he's doing the brine de poma checklist he's doing all the things he would do if you were going to be a killer in a brine de palma movie so i was like yeah okay this is good but of course it's a little too obvious so i was like probably not. Him taking these pills, it's just three pills. He puts them in his mouth like he's putting, I don't even know, he's 30 in there.

And like he swallows it and he has to rub his own throat to let you know that it went down. Like, I got it, dude. Don't open your mouth and like have the camera go inside there. He is acting like it's such a huge lift, right? And I was like, I can't remember the last time I've taken fewer than like three aspirin at once. Like I'm a three man all the time.

I'm a two boy. I'm a two boy now. I'm jealous. I might have enjoyed a reverse uncut gem. Get that image all the way down to that stomach. And then you turn up into mine somewhere. Yeah, I think that's the technical term for that. But back at the bar, our Kip Niven is got a fun mustache here.

He's hitting on what we would call some dumb. blondes in the in the parlance of the times I imagine as the song as the song is saying yes she you know but she's like you know a little dits here whatever and he's like I've got to I'm going to a party at Eric Estrada's

house I love I love this detail dude imagine how fucking awesome his New Year's Eve parties were back then riding the chips money oh hell yeah dude so 1980 you're making this movie in 1979

so I'm looking at an IMDB here I don't just know this but that is only two years into the Chips phenomenon like he's riding high man this is the time to get Estrada do you think you could go up to a lady where Eric was on New Year's Eve like tonight if you go to some woman or a man he's like hey dude

you got a party at Timothy Shalabay's place you want to come with me no one is following Eric is not going to believe you yes well that's why this this character has to be a bit dumber when she is because yes you'd have to be dumb to fall for Also, that's not really one-to-one, right?

No. TV versus film. Would be like a big TV actor. We're going to the, uh, JR from the Dallas is having a party tonight. Whoa. Oh, wow. Kevin Costner from TV's Yellowstone.

Oh, yeah. Yes, Kevin Costner's house at TV's Yellowstone. Yeah. That is it. Someone, someone from Chicago PD. I don't know. Sure, yeah. Tracker from the show Trackers. Oh, man.

Tracker. yeah it's crazy show you don't know it's classic yet tracker tracker on the show tracker's name is like colt uh man it's something it's something even cooler than tracker

somehow i can't even remember it's like colt or shaw or some shit he should be fighting X-Men yes absolutely hunting them down but so she doesn't but she is a little smarter she's like you know I'm going to go but I'm going to bring

my friend you know Sheila or whatever because I'm not going to go alone. And this is the beginning. This guy, like, the first kill goes smoothly. The rest of the night, he is fucking up royal. Every fucking step he gets. No, real amateur hour shit, dude, I have to stay. By the way, Stuart, I looked it up.

Tracker is Coulter Shaw. Hell yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's Tracker. I love how, I love how much they make, how much this woman and her friend make him work for this. Yes. Yep.

They, he is not love and life at any point during this. He's like, you can clearly see a look on his eyes where he's like, I picked the wrong people. And this woman will not stop talking about her friend's diarrhea, which is great. Oh, yes, you've got to do Transcendental Meditation because it even stopped Lisa's nervous diarrhea. Oh, God. And then he's like, Lisa, why don't you go to that liquor store and get us a bottle? And we got some, we got a kill here. He slips through a hondo.

And then, you know, he goes. Lisa gets away and she goes to his prime lady is like listen you want to smoke a number always love a number That's good And it's right It's like it's right

Almost like a dog He's like it's right in this bag You want to go look what Go get it Go get the drug Get a good smell or whatever How good this stuff is This number is going to be excellent

And then yeah the bag over the head And he's changing He's changing his ammo here I think this is the best kill of the movie because of it. It's kind of cool looking. That's what you would do. There's weed in the bag. There is some weed or something weed like

in the bag at least. This is a bag that's so large that it should have one of those like children could like suffocate in it. But like for weed, which is hilarious. I would love to, I love to cop to like pull him over and he arrests him for the weed but not killing the woman.

I will not have this in my city, sir. He's like going out the biggest. Well, Lisa comes with the champagne, the car has gone. We also now, we're deciding to do Friday the 13th noises for some reason. Dude, this came out the same year, so I don't know what's going on there. No, no, no, no. Theirs is E.

Ha, ah. Ours is E.E.A.A.A. Exactly. Yeah, but no, I noticed that too, Stephen. I was like, excuse me, wait a second. Those Chi-Chi-A-A's, and then I was like, oh, wait the same year. So now, because I'm a psycho, I'm looking up. release dates, but also when he did that kill, on the radio was the countdown for central time.

He's going to kill a new woman or a new person, every single ball drop across the country. I really got to say, one of the more boring motivation for murder. As far as what your plans are, like, did this guy, like, did his, like, dad get hit by a car because of daylight savings time or something? I'd like to see you do better. What's your grand plan? Well, you know what, I like the moon. I think I would be the lunar guy. I know it's an old favorite. I know it's not very original, but I think I'd go to the moon.

Oh, like killing people according to the phases of the moon. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Would you wear like a mactonite head or something while you do it? Look, look, Stuart, you're doing the work for me right here. You got to have the big sunglasses. Hell yeah. Yeah, because you could easily attract unwitting people because they're going to be like, yeah, I want to talk to this guy.

Maybe he knows Erica Estrada. I'm the biggest fan of the Sam Rockwell movie Moon. and I just keep on telling me about this mediocre movie. I don't know why he did that. How about this? Hang on a second. How about this?

Friday the 13th, Part 1, May 1980. New Year's Evil, December 1980. There it is. Guarantee that is golden in the editing bailing. With the noises in. No, they're good noises. I heard them in the movie. The movie with the lady that kill everybody.

I saw it. They will never recognize. that we have stolen the sound effect. They will not know it. The other lady gets murdered too. Hang on a second. Hang on a second. We got some stuff here, Steve. We got some stuff here.

We got a, I want to put this out there, a little bit of a theory. This guy, this mystery, this mystery, this mystery evil, a little bit of a footman. Oh. Because both the first movie at the mental institution or whatever, they're the home, and then here, he's, leaving a trail of women's shoes to the body. Like there's, like the nurse, like he leaves a high heel propping open the door so the other nurse finds it.

This is literally like, here's one shoe, and then closer to the dumpster is the other shoe. And then the dress is sticking out of it. I think we got ourselves a foot, man. Yeah. I buy it. And that's fucked up, man. Just because that's his specific fetish doesn't make him a killer. Bringing us all down here, dude.

What are you doing? That's right. Not all feet guys. Hashtag not all feed guys And does he call back Because he is a little late I do want him to be like Sorry, it's really like

1105 but It took me a while But I got two this time You want to hear both You could simply say that there was a fat woman on the phone It took a minute to get off I do love that he was stressed out About the time when he was driving

And this is that's the whole thing That's all you have is time zones he's like, now I'm just a regular dengular serial killer. There's nothing cool about me at all. I miss the central time zone. And now we have Lisa finds the heel of her friend that has been killed. And then the

dude is in the dumpster. Great shot of him with the fake mustache with the lighter on. Yeah, it's pretty sweet. And he grabs her. And this is, I feel like with this kill could have used some fart noises because she has nervous diarrhea. Oh, yeah, yeah. Call back to that.

Dude, he should call back to the TV show and be like, All right, so here's the deal. I tried to make up for missing the central time zone by killing two women. But the second one had nervous diarrhea and she's shit all over me. So I'm giving up for the night. Maybe next year we'll try this again, but Evo out. I mean, once you hide in a dumpster, I'm probably giving up for the night.

Well, he changes now. This is crazy. You know, shit he changes. That's all he's got is closed, dude. Fair point. He calls the police or he tells them where the bodies are to be discovered. he hears the police drive by he's taking his clothes off and changing

in the public like I guess that was okay yes I guess in 1979 that was fine just to be shirtless I'm sure this guy's he's looking at you know his partner like should we check out that guy over there and he's like what a physically fit middle age white man absolutely not

that's not who we're looking for keep trying Reagan didn't invent no shirt no shoes no service yeah I want to get his workout routine we can do that I would of nine to know that. And now, because it's the early 80s, late 70s, a biker gang basically hijacks the movie.

It's amazing. Hell yeah. This happened in, like, you know, it was just DASX, bike, I've ever seen the ninth configuration? Do you say DASX, bikina? I might say biker gang, but I probably said bikana.

Sure. Bikana is better, Steve. First of all, bikin is better. All right, we're going to go bikana. The ninth configuration is a kind of an exorcist sequel that takes place, like kind of in a mental institution. That too, out of nowhere in the same year actually in 1980

the last act is just totally ruined, not ruined, but like taken over by a banker game. I mean, but I guess it kind of like, it kind of makes sense here a little bit. It kind of makes sense in that movie a little bit. I don't know why they did it in Awakening.

It really just baffles me that that was the turn they decided on that one. I mean, of all the things like Robin Williams used to be into. I don't know. The original cut of ET was stopped by a biker. All the kids were going. Out of Africa, had that biker gang just took over.

Oh, yeah. Oh, definitely. Daniel Day Lewis at the end of my left foot, I did not see that coming at all. Probably the weirdest turn was in Amistad when the boat was pulled over. But it's just how these guys, it's kind of great. Like, A, I want to see the original kill he has planned because he's dressed as a priest and he's got this like these head shots of like another like a bishop and a nerd and a nun

and he's like that's the look book I think to make sure that he Oh I see looking is like oh all right That's what a priest looks excellent You got it But yes he kind of He tips into a biker's A car bike and like now these guys are chasing him

Well first the one biker flips him off Yes just for being a priest Which is pretty awesome I don't understand this doesn't everybody know you just get top of a bar and start dancing and it's fine. Oh, right. Yeah. The Kiwi effect. Yeah. That's, you're easy. Easy. Peewee, Peeway hadn't come out yet so the G and G can steal it from me.

But he's like, cool at his heels at this, a New Year's Eve, what he called there? Drive-in movie theater. That's pretty fun. Dude, the Van Nuys drive-in. Real, real drive-in movie theater. Oh, is this the one that Cliff Booth sleeps behind? I think it is. Yeah. No, I think it's, I think it's the exact theater. Yes. Yeah. but yeah it's a horror marathon on new year's eve which sounds awesome it does actually yeah i was like oh i would totally do that one year um i guess they're sort of playing like knockoff herschel gordon lewis looking movies because like they're saying herschel gordon lewis titles but then it's like other

movies yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah blood feast and blood spatter and you know all that stuff uh but yeah i do love this hide out at the drive-in pretty great But they, of course, follow him in, which is, I love the, um, the little drive-in attendant trying to, like, charge the biker's, like, admission. And they're just whipping right past this girl, like, fuck you. We don't pay for drive-in movies. Now, here's the question. Do you count the biker that you kill in this scuffle? Like, maybe you have to have your sound recording to make it count.

Yeah. No, wait, hang on. Die again. I didn't hit record. Hang on. Oh, fuck God. Oh, no. It was 30 past the hour.

I got to give him to it. Get him to a hospital, revive him, and then kill him at the stroke of a midnight. Not my midnight, but a midnight. Listen, things went out of hand. I got in trouble with some bikers. I did kill one of them. Trust me, they did die. He's stabbing this biker, like, this is for the mountain time zone.

It is great how that biker gets at all, because the biker runs off to him and says, Greetings, asshole. Pretty awesome. Awesome. We got to use that one at home. And then he says, I'm a man of God, not a man of violence. And the biker laughs. And then the priest is just stabbing you.

You didn't see that coming. No. Getting murdered by a priest really did not see that coming. This guy's going to hell. Like, what's happening? Exactly. And we've got two young lovers watching these trailers getting high. I think this is the only nudity we have in the movie, right?

Which is kind of shocking. No, we get the, you can see where, oh. The van. the van titties. Yes, that's right. Apologies. You need to go back and put in the van titties. Let me check Mr. Skin. Let me log in with my

account. Bookmarks folder. That's where all the globalists were for sure. We're in the editing room. They were there all the time. Yeah. I do love these two teens, though, because this guy, I mean, I guess he's having a good time because he's feeling up his

lady friend and whatever. But she is just like hitting this spliff, watching the movies, like not acknowledging at all. Isn't it about time? And she's like, maybe next movie. She wants to watch these Horshiel Gordon Lewis movies. Totally. She's a keeper.

Yeah, I haven't identified so much with a character in a horror movie as her. Stop, stop. Like, whatever, my titties are out. I just want to smoke weed watch this movie. Honey, stop playing with my tits. Come on. They're softer at least. I told you, after Blood Feast,

God. uh but yeah and then he almost i do love here's the other thing too like he kills that guy and then he's like maybe i can run back to my car and all the bikers like descend on it and start like beating it with baseball bats and shit i'm just like can you imagine being at the drive-in and just a bunch of bikers start totally destroying the car next to you like i'm just going to turn up my radio a little more here so i can hear indiana jones and the dial of destiny clearly hey hey stop doing that please stop doing that that's not that's not nice um commandeers their car pulls this kid out screams where are the

fucking keys they're in the ignition he drives off with the girl right yeah he kills this dude too though right did he i think he just tosses him aside or something yeah he tosses him he's too busy he's got to get out of there the bikers are going to get him and the time it's not midnight dude that's true doesn't count to the goal i think yeah it's this total like accidental kidnapping in a way because he's like, oh, you're still here. Oh, all right.

Well, murder victim it is. Well, what time is it? Well, we'll see. We'll see. Let's stop for coffee for a little bit. We'll talk and then we'll get down to it. I got 25 minutes. He almost runs down these two drunks, I think, is what happens.

That allows her to get out. Yes. These wasted dudes in the middle of the road. Really fucks him all. doing this. Heroes, honestly, if you... Yeah, really. This, again, we're airing this on New Year's Eve. Tonight get wasted. If you see a car on the road, just slap on the hood, you might

save a life. It's true. Yeah. Wander drunkenly into the road. It might save a life. That's right. Exactly. Oh, man. All these helpful holiday tips from Wehame movies. But she, like, runs through a park or whatever. He gives Chase. She finds some bleachers to hide under. And this is... I'm sorry,

this is where the Switchblade really... lets him down because he's like trying to be eerie and scary Mr. Scary guy and he's like tapping against the bench with the switch plate and it's just, it's not doing it. You need something like, yeah, it's like, oh, did I hear something? Is he menacingly tapping something? I can't tell with that. Is that

a noise? Yeah, is he like playing the like high hat part of this rock song or some shit? But then he's scared by a disembodied voice. We never see this cop, do we? This guy goes out, police and like, miss, are you okay? And he runs away. Yeah, basically runs off.

He gets away because we do see the cops are talking to the drunk guys. Again, these guys are the heroes of the film. You could be a hero tonight. Just slap a hood. Maybe two. Maybe three. You never know where the kids,

the kids in danger are. Make yourself look like shit. It might help. It really will. It could help someone. But so like it's, we kind of come back to the studio here. We've gone full lockdown because I think

some there's like some psychiatrist there now who's like this man is trying to he is clearly his last kill will be you because that'll be get him the most exposure and that is what the son of sam did and the zodiac killer etc he is being like this actor saw the parlor scene at the end of psycho and just like did that for this like it's the same kind of cadence or whatever this is after one of my favorite parts of the movie though steve oh please the detective goes to address the audience of the TV show that he said everything's in lockdown.

This is how they find out because he's like, hi, I'm detective, whatever, from the LAPD, instantly booed for like seconds on end. It won't stop. It's pretty awesome. We should quickly mention we had Happy New Year from Aspen, Colorado,

right before the LAPD announcement. Right. So he's now missed. The Bleacher Girl, I think, was supposed to be Mountain Time there. But he's getting booed or whatever. And this is when he's like, so by the way,

this building is totally sealed so if you leave this room you don't get to come back and I'd be like what the fuck is going on because they like what we were talking about before like the city is not on high alert for this guy and no one in the room knows what the fuck's really going on you can't even tell if they can hear the obscene phone calls that she's taking from the dais or whatever so all these people are like wait why are we locked in here on newsie what the fuck is this guy talking and like no other information is given why is this guy with a right on your hands. Why is this guy with the best telling me I can't leave?

Yeah, exactly. I thought I was just coming to a New Year's Eve taping of my favorite live call-in show. We cut outside. There's people, this guy's like, I've got keys. It's New Year's Eve. I want to fuck up there. And they're like, you're not allowed. You're not allowed in. I do

because I just want to call it. I know I missed cholera. I'm really listen, it's a fucking mess out there. The traffic alone. I mean, what was the of doing it if you didn't do that. Like, I mean, I'm on. Let's go back. Let's go. Hold on. Don't go. Don't go. Don't go on my ass about this. Let's go back. I killed two, two ladies plus the biker. That counts. He counts. Sure, but you, the whole thing was on time. And you just skipped the

whole time. I think you failed is what you're doing. It's all in the night. It's a part of the magic and the mystery. But there's no tape to be played. I thought that was your whole thing. You were playing the tapes, right? Literally a dog did eat it. I'm not going to get it. Oh, really? Okay. That's a separate situation. Interesting. It's my first year, all right? It's my first year as a holiday slasher.

Caught me some slack. You know, that one guy got away from the bone collector. He does. There's a weird, oh, I got to put this out there, though, because the guy, this fucking psychologist is like, oh, yeah, he slashes the breasts of his victims, which clearly means he has mother issues. When he says that dubious piece of information,

it cuts to the sun, like, up in the room still. And, like, what we have not mentioned was, yes, he's got the stocking on his head and whatever. But he has put, like, a huge pin through his earlobe. Like, he's pierced both his earlobes, so he's just, like, bleeding all over himself. Yeah. All of this to come to nothing, like, pretty much by the end of this movie.

He's just your average punk kid. Yeah. I mean, I feel like they're setting up a very dumb twist at the very end. Oh, yes. Which, of course, is going to lead to New Year's Evil 2 or New Year's Tuval. Oh, New Year's 2. Two years evil. Thank you, Stu.

You'll forget about Hawaii time. Yes. I tend to forget about it. I want New Year's Evil, too, this time he gets it right. You know what I mean? Yep, exactly. It's time we're going to shit together. same old wait same blood lang syne yes i like that yeah he should have a giant clock like

flavor flame just to remember what time it is yeah clearly his little watch like wasn't doing enough for him uh he infiltrates the because the building's on total lockdown no one can get any of you have keys to fuck he does this great move where there's the garage and he sees one lowly officer by himself I was like, hey, officer, I think I see a drunk guy over here. Oh, on New Year's Eve, let me go. Let me stop everything I'm doing. Want to make fun of them? Huh?

Want to go hang out and look at him? Maybe throw some stuff at him. And he hits this cop over the head with a brick. And I'm like, and that apparently he lived through this, which is sad to hear. Yeah. Because I thought it would be another kill. This is a kill. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Right, right, right, right. Some other. Well, there's a backstory. story that that police officer is a bad guy he's an abuser he's totally justified yeah yeah

he bashes this dude and again yeah just like you know becomes this guy like takes the uniform and this 47 baby now he's got a cop's gun though and that's now we're stepping up a little bit

from the switchblade that's my fantasy not just a gun a cop's gun yeah every time you're in like a bodega and there's a cop getting his food you're like can I can probably take that off I honestly always think about it I used to work in Times Square

and they'd always be walking around I'm like ooh but then you know it'd be lights out for me pretty quick probably probably yeah I mean yeah you shoot up to five stars one and love you're on the run baby I need more time to train in my backyard

and then I'll be ready here's a like a pro tip there you got to get them right as they're starting like a difficult level of candy crush on their phone right and it's like yoink like when both thumbs are clearly engaged yoink uh but so this is like there's this cop that is gonna be married to blaze here he's like wherever you go i go dude this guy with a fucking straight up t j hooker wig it's awesome love that he takes her to her room first is surprised by derrick who has like a hissy fit because the mom's like, oh, Derek, I forgot you were in here. It's like, yeah, I noticed.

You always forget. I had a big surprise, but you ruined it. And he's it. We have to say he's a hulking man in his mid-20s. Like, yeah, yeah. It's got to let it go, buddy. I'm sorry. Like, it's about time to be okay with your mother,

but maybe forgetting. Obviously, it sucks that they like play up the, like the feminization of this guy is being tied in. with his like mommy issues and that's all tied in together and that will later reveal that he is also a killer uh or capable of it um and that all sucks but i also do kind of like him like taking pills and putting a fish net over his face yeah it's pretty great this will solve what ails yeah yeah i mean we got we got to shoot this scene in the holiday and what the hell can we do i don't know put the put the thing on your head lots of ice how about a lot of ice

and now we got I believe we're introducing Made in Japan with their song Banzai here we go right for the big reveal yes and this mask is pretty cool I don't even know what this is I like this one

it looks like a Stan Laurel mask but he's bald kind of it's really creepy yeah anyone know what this was supposed to be no idea I couldn't tell if it was like a Nixon style man like I don't know what's going on

that's closer to it store I will say the track suit that he is wearing, top drawer, I mean, what I would not give for that thing. It looks pretty comfortable, man, and pretty stylish. Like, this guy, possibly one of the best dressed horror slashes,

I think. Well, because in the beginning of the movie, Yvonne is like, oh, yeah, Richard can't make it because he's in Palm Springs. So I guess this is a very Palm Springsy outfit that he's putting on to, like, sit with that, like, idea. Right. You're doing drugs by the pool? Yeah, exactly. It's Palm Springs, but he's also coked out.

You could 100% blow red. and this jumps are no doubt. Definitely. But he wears this creepy mask. It scares her reveals and she's like, oh, Richard and you, the audience are like, what? Who is that supposed to be? It's a refreshing

way to do this, man. I have to say, and like, especially only two years off from Halloween, like, this was the angle you took. Pretty fucking smart, man. I have to say, pretty cool. I thought it was pretty well done. And, yeah, so he's,

he's her husband and you realize he you know obviously everything's wrong basically he was Derek's big surprise that he was waiting in the bathroom uh but evil leaves right here and the cop is like i personally check like how did you get in there or whatever and he's like oh he blames it on the manager or whatever like oh yeah her shitty manager you know like let me into the hotel and this guy's like super suspicious immediately like i don't know that guy's wearing a co-cat track suit. I don't know. But they find

the detective, the lead guy or whatever gets a call that they have found Richard's car uh-oh at the drive-in. Looks like some bikers beat it up pretty good. This is also where we're revealed that Richard,

our evil character, was once a patient at the sanatorium. So now they're digging up the dirt on this dude. That's how he knew his way around. That's how I knew he could easily sneak in and it's not guarded at all. Right. Yeah. I'll start my murder spree at my

low security mental home I was at. But he's also, I guess at some point done some training with Dennis Hopper about elevator technology. This part's pretty wild. He's just third act. I know what elevators are.

And he's just pickpocket at this thing with, he's like making it. He's making this elevator dance. He knows like, The trick, like, oh, yeah, you jam the screwdriver in here and the thing's just going to fall, like, pretty terrifying stuff here. Yeah, he kicks a cop in the face as well, right, when he gets in there with his life. The face kick is pretty great. But as it's falling, though, nice observation about it as it's falling, like, we needed some direction for this cop because, you know, Blaze is doing her.

She's screaming, you know, it's totally fine. This other guy is just stone face, like, staring. barely blinking, not saying ah, just this like stone face stare and I was like, buddy, you got to be reacting to something man. You're in the shot, dude. You're in the shot. My direction for you is you're in the shot.

That line at your feet, that's a mark. But yeah, this dude, evil, you know, he's got some great moves with regard to doing something right after a door opens. much like that lid of the dumpster. Yeah. Like the elevator door was he is right there to kick that cop in the face right there ready for it. Yeah, he missed his calling as like a surprise party thrower.

That's a better use of his energy and everyone can enjoy that. That's true. And way fewer people are getting murdered with that job. Yes, absolutely. Doesn't he start like playing her the kills again and says like instant replay? A miracle of modern technology. he realized he fucked up trying to do it over the phone. Dude, you barely

fucking put an EP out and you're putting together a greatest hits record or fucking serious. But yeah, he's now telling her how much he hates or he hates all women, you know, as always your career and blah, blah, blah. And poor Derek is now

in the same boat, yada, yada, yada. It's total insult shit. He's like, you castrated me. Women are immoral and deceitful and very selfish. That's by Yvonne was first. Dude, I'm sorry, she paid for that beautiful track suit. And probably your fake mustache. 100%. Oh, yeah. Dude, but

his whole, like, he's got a plan for, like, after I murder my wife. Like, it's the funniest part of this whole thing. He's like, he's like, oh, and you know what I'm going to do? First, I'm going to kill my wife, and then I'm going to wake up tomorrow morning and take my little son to the Rose Bowl. Yes. He's got plans.

He's going to see a fucking football game after this. It's great to that. He's got New Year's Day plans. I think that's wonderful. Well, that's the problem. That's why he's not focused tonight. He's got these football tickets burning a hole in his pocket. He's like thinking about what snacks he's going to get.

Like, no, focus on the bikers. He's like, I got to get there early. The parking in Pasadena's a pain of the ass. You know, that could have been like if we, if he didn't, if he lived through this, this night, we could have had the trap scenario there at the Rose Bowl. Like, I heard. This is all for evil.

He's supposed to be here today. Wow, it's so nice. They agreed to start the football game earlier. so more people could come to it or whatever the reasoning for a mat-nay concert is in that movie. Yeah, yeah, and they show up at the Rose Bowl and they're like, wait a minute, halftime performance by Lady Raven, oh shit.

Oh, clearly it's a trap lady Ravens performing. That's not real music. Hey, man, let me let me let's show it a little secret. You know that guy evil that killed all those people last night? Yeah, yeah, yeah. This whole Rose Bowl is a way to trap it. etc but yeah so like this is he chains her to the

bottom of the elevator yep because again he's got like his garage door opener attached to this elevator and he's like lifted up a little perfect okay now I can handcuff you to it and this is wild you're no longer New Year's evil you are the elevator killer at this point like you have now become elevator guy

your your gimmick has changed I don't know about you when it comes to like elevator killing, I always fucking think of the first mission impossible. Melio S. That's like, that messed me up super bad. Speaking of De Palma. Yeah, totally. No, that's... It's a

horror shot. Like, I don't know where those daggers come from, but it's in there. Yeah, who designed that? I really want to... Seriously, like, I want to talk to this would be like such a weird waste of time, but also informative. Like, I just want to hear from an elevator

guy and just be like, hey man, let's watch this scene with Emuilar Estevez real quickly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Brian De Palma, yeah, Mission Impossible. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, what are those spikes for, sir? Is that industry standard? Well, you see, if the elevator's going too fast, daggers come down to stop it.

Yeah, yeah. They're like, oh, you've got a problem of Esseves on the top of your elevator. Those daggles will clear them right off. It was very fashionable at the time to have daggers at the top of your elevator. We called them lift knives. Everybody loved them. Oh yeah, that's a leftover from when H.H. Holmes worked at Otis Elevator Corporation. He did some consulting work with Tyson Krupp.

But the cops are hot at his heels right now. He can't even kill his wife, unfortunately. That's a bummer. I love this shot of her going up the elevator shaft, though. It's a cool effect shot. Although, weird thing. And honestly, almost as puzzling as when they see the decapitated heads and Ghostbusters too. Yvonne's

head is just stuck in the elevator shaft randomly. It's not a thing where like Michael Myers or Jason where they like collect all the kills and they're all in the same room at the end and the final girl like sees everybody revealed one of the time grossly like this is just the one head

that he's stuck here somehow some way at some point in the evening very strange. It's the only person he killed that she knows you know and this big revenge against my wife. It's more like, I don't know, I want to like kind of make it with some ladies and kill them. Well, she's, you know, you're kind of a loner is the thing.

You don't got many friends. So I don't know. I didn't know who I'm going to kill my son. That doesn't make any sense. Who's going to go to the Rose Bowl game with me? There's a couple riding this elevator, which big mystery here. I don't know if you guys notice this, but I have to ask. So like it's this couple.

They're wasted. Yeah. The elevator passes their floor and the guy's like, something fucked up's going on. here or whatever. This guy appears to be wrapped up in like thick cut scotch tape or something like I don't know what this outfit he has on. I think he's a punker is the idea

you know like dude he's just literally wrapped up in trash like it just just kind of jog back through the file if you're interested to look at it he's literally just wearing strips of like torn shopping bags on his body I don't understand it and the other

like the woman that he's with like his date for the night or whatever is dressed totally nicely and fine. So he was a, he participated in one of the, like, uh, practice challenges on the reality show, like, uh, whatever, like Project Runway, where he had to make an outfit out of trash and then wear it. Oh, that was the main challenge. Oh, great. I got stuck with garbage bags. Look what I have to wear to the live broadcast.

No, no, honey. It's very creative. It's, it's lovely, really. No, no, I, I'm not embarrassed going out with you. Not, not at all. The cops come in, and this dude immediately pulls out the cop's gun that he stole and just starts firing wildly at all these guys. And all these cops are like, oh, cool. We can't get a shot on him, but let's all of us shoot the shit out of this elevator control panel for some reason. This thing is like sparking and shooting up. And I'm like, the elevator part of this is over with. Like, what are you guys doing that electrical box?

The elevator's going to kill them. Shoot it. I will say my experience with city employees like firemen and cops that if they have equipment, they're going to want to use it. It does not matter the collateral damage. Oh, no. But, yeah, they get to the roof. He springs to the roof somehow.

And he gets the mask. This is what I love is like when the jig is up, the mask goes on for this guy. Everybody else, when the jig is up, the mask comes off. This guy, mask time. And it's Hamlet time, baby. We're going to start talking some Shakespeare, you know. To die, to sleep no more. No, no, no.

It doesn't make any sense, Steve. But, you know, you toss in a little of the bard into this script, classes it right up. That's that famous book of Shakespeare quotation. Yes. Going through it. And then he's looking over the edge. And I love the LAPD guy being like,

don't you even consider it, you scum. Oh, totally. And he considers it. Don't make this all for nothing. Oh, my God. I will. He jumps off to kill himself, and this fall of the dummy is exquisite. I love it.

Great dummy. Dude, primos stuff. Just limp, limbs, all four of them, just classic dummy action. I love it. It's so great. Like a dummy falling off a building. I love that. It's like that shot in the hidden where the woman falls off the roof and you can see

the crash map pop up. Oh, yes. Oh, my gosh. Oh, yes. The hidden, by the way, fantastic movie. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Yeah, so then the sun

Like the dude lands on the ground or whatever The sun comes out of nowhere And just starts like crying over the body And I love this cop that comes up Oh, all right, get this shit out of you Get the fuck out of here with this The thing about the sun Speaking of X-Men

He has a mutant power to teleport In it out of the movie at Wimp Like he is just like completely gone And then like you're like oh right The Sun like He's not a character really Yeah, but here he is, stroking his daddy's hair a lot. I thought it was a little much on the hair.

But Blaze gets taken into this ambulance, and it's kind of funny, like, she's being carted out of the studio or whatever. And you hear all this bad ADR, like, oh, my God, that's Blaze. Oh, my God, Blaise. There's that Blaze over there. Oh, I hope Blaze is okay. Yeah. Oh, it's awesome. Because she's that famous.

I don't know how to gauge what level of fame this woman is supposed to be at. Because we needed more. what was it hotline Hollywood or whatever we need to lean into this show more show and more have more people call in have people ask for autographs this is pre-MTV too right because MTV is like 83 or 80s

it's mid-80s or early 80s but not not 79 yeah it's it's not mid-80s it's very much early August August 1st 1981 yeah so a little way and electric boogaloo hadn't come out yet had it

ooh I don't know that's a good call I don't think Like, I feel like electric boogaloo shows that they understand the concept of a community coming together. I guess she's just, just a disc, a DJ that is famous. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you could still be, you could still be like a big city market DJ back then and like have a big following. And your face is plastered billboards, that whole thing. Yeah, exactly.

Break into 1984, by the way. Okay. Yeah. There you go. Yeah, so she's in this ambulance getting carted off. And, uh-oh, wouldn't you know it? The son is driving this ambulance because you see, like, the camera sort of like pans. And it's just in the driver's seat is the kid with the mask on.

Oh, man. Do you see a dead medic too? Yes. The medic is right next to him on the floor. It looks exactly like John Carpenter, which is pretty great. So he's killed somebody. Yes. The kid's got to kill.

It fits. I mean, you think he's going to go and kill his mother, obviously. And then when they're driving off. with this ambulance, we hear on the radio, stroke of midnight in Hawaii. Aloha. Happy New Year from Hawaii. You know what? Chilling.

Living well is the best revenge. If your mother doesn't know you're on Starship America, she's going to know when that shows a huge fucking hit dude. You're sugar champagne and you're not returning her phone call. That's the move. That's a great point, Stephen. Now I have to think about all the people.

Thank you. All the people like, you know, the the cast and all the crew for American starship. I mean, like, the production's put in jeopardy. I mean, this guy's a serial killer now. I mean, it would be put in jeopardy even if he didn't kill anybody. Like, I caught myself thinking about that where I'm like, man, there's no way they can do

this show with him because his dad just killed a bunch of people. Right, yeah, actually, that's true. Yeah, dad got him fired regardless. You're totally right. It's a quiet life for him after this. You don't get it. I'm John Wayne Gacey. Junior.

I thought the mask was supposed to be a little gasey-ish. Maybe it looks like a fat clown almost. Clare-esque. Yeah. When he's like, yeah, John Wayne and G.C. You're like, you know, J.G. Bullock's screen test wasn't that bad. Yeah, let's bring it back here. It was okay.

John Wayne Gacey, Jr., that's like the cartoon adaptation of the story that they made. Hot on the heels of James Bond, Jr. Yeah, where he's got all kinds of like gadgets and shit. and he goes to high school and it keeps getting in the way of him I don't know what murdering people what's he doing the show

he's still killing people I mean if Dexter can have this prequel show that's out now John Wayne Gasey can have one too fifth fucking version of the new Dexter God damn it well because we did that continuation and now this is like a prequel

I stopped I stopped after the laboratory Dexter's laboratory Yeah, that's right. Yeah, much early days. Finally pronouncing it. Yeah, Eric, you were like, oh, live action.

I don't think so. Yeah. The only Dexter I care about is Daxter Jeter, and he runs a, he runs a whatever on Currassant. Yeah, yeah, the Space Diner, of course. Yeah, I love that dude. Big, I'll,

he's got a mustache. I'll say, I'll say for Steve, Dexter does have one season of absolutely ludicrous John Lithgow acting. I'll take it. Some of the best. he will ever be raising car muscle yeah he's like a he's like a competing serial killer or something it's always he's always the the villain is always a killer that he's oh okay got it he's i think uh was it ray stevens who recently passed uh ray stevenson yeah he passed yeah he had a good season where he did uh he did it as well oh cool oh that's too interesting uh horrible show horrible show but you have never show up on the dexter or no oh yeah the return of even but that actually would have been awesome by the way

if Dexter in a season where the villain was like a fucking nerdy 80 slasher with like a student I would have loved that that would have been great Oh see that that would get me to watch Dexter That's what we'll have done it right there But that is going to do it right here For this episode on New Year's Evil Because there ain't no more movie

It's a it's a trim one at like 80 some odd minutes here But we'll go around the horn for some final thoughts And possible recommendations Stuart you're our guest today we'll start with you, man. Oh, geez. Let's see. I would say, I thought this movie was slight and it felt kind of rushed. I'm a sucker for this kind of garbage 80s slasher,

and it was clearly like, how can we capitalize on Halloween as quickly as possible, which I'm surprised they didn't crank this one out even faster. But they had to release it in December because it's right before New Year's Eve. I feel like there's some fun moments. if you're a fan of this type of thing this might be worth tracking down. Also, if you like a cheesy punk whatever, like punk soundtrack,

it's pretty fun. And for recommendations, as always, I recommend one movie called Frankie Freiko because my voice is in it and it's awesome. It just came out. Hell yeah, dude. While we got you on that, Stuart, you know, you got the mic man plug whatever you got

going on. This is coming out next week on New Year's Eve. So if the bar is doing something, thing you know plug away whatever you got sure yeah uh so i currently own three bars in brooklyn new york hinterlands bar minnie's bar and commonwealth bar all in brooklyn come check them out there's going to be stuff going on please hit them up and then if uh you want to hear more my voice talking about silly stuff check out the flop house podcast uh wherever you find podcasts the long blood feud is over that's it now we're now we're all people are still fighting in the streets and i know they have been like a bunch of nerds stabbing each other over

House. No, it has to end. I mean, we've been doing we've been doing concurrent bad movie shows for a really long time, right guys? A really long time. Tell that listener in the cave, the war is over. Stop. Stop.

I've been telling all the Jets boys to stop their shit. Go back home. Stop dancing in the street all day. Yeah. The sharks, I'm like, kill them. Get them. Eric Siska, final thoughts on the news evil um i you know like stewart i think this is it's a fun i love 80 slasher so this

always you know i always find something to like about these movies the first time i saw this i thought it was too thin and i was a little bored with it but i was probably putting pantyhoes over my head doing pills now that i watched it and paid attention to it i had a really good time with it this go so definitely check it out if you like that slasher stuff that 80s cheese borderline check it out. Heck yeah. Christopher Cabin. A very light recommend.

I wish we got a little bit more blood. I wish we got a little bit more. You know, as we've been saying, like a little bit more world building, even for slasher's like Halloween, you know the town. You have a sense of it. Even with cheap knockoffs,

there usually is some movement to try to let you know how the world breathes around them. And this, you know, you just assume because it's the city. You're like, oh, well, it's the city life. And that works enough to make the thing work.

The middle kill with the two ladies, I think is really well done. I love the little scene in the liquor store where the guy just freaks, says something freaky to earn. It's like, oh, okay, bye. That's it. Yeah, so yeah, like I recommend.

Stephen. I need to recommend for me. I'm with Eric. I'm a real easy sell with these guys. I really like the soundtrack. I would have liked some more inventive kills, some more bloody kill, some more, you know,

some kind of an interesting gore effects that's what brings me here but I do kind of like the bullshit bad psychology here I also enjoy the punk stuff is really cool I kind of wonder actually do you think decline of Western civilization still comes out if this

happens in the real Los Angeles punk scene or or maybe the X is just talking like yeah we couldn't get booked after New Year's Eve will do that with it all the clubs just fucking closed up. I was just right out of Los Angeles, man. Very depressing documentary to come out about that.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, no, I'd recommend this. I think it's a nice little change of pace, like just riding along with Mr. Evil the whole time. And yeah, I may not only am I a soccer for slasher movies from the 80s, the holiday slashers are just like some of the most fun knockoff garbagey things. So I sort of put it all in with that. So yeah, if, you know.

I don't think you should be watching this on New Year's Eve. If you're having a night in, sure, but maybe the next day or something, or this weekend, maybe watch New Year's Eve. When you were mentioning holiday slasher, like, I love, have you guys seen Blood Rage, the Thanksgiving Slasher that's like Super Chicago-y? Oh, no. That's like the outside of obviously Halloween. I feel like Blood Rage is the, like, pinnacle of that thing.

Oh, I'm going to have to get on that. I'm completely ignorant to Blood Rage. Yeah, it's this weird 80s one. everybody's drinking old style and shit it's great oh yeah oh from 87 oh with louise laser all right well that is going to do it for this uh new year's evil here of course but uh let's just say first of all if you're listening to this uh and you had commercials in it well hey if you don't want those commercials there head over to the patreon patreon dot com slash we hay movies where every new episode of we hey movies that comes out is indeed on there ad free you don't have to worry about

any commercials whatsoever, but the cool thing is, once you're there, we also have a ton of other extra bonus shows that we put out every month on the Patreon for listeners to check out, including We Love Movies, which we did way earlier this month, the top of December, all about Lethal Weapon 2, which was a lot of fun. Diplomatic Community! Let me mention a show, we kind of sometimes forget to plug. We have so many shows, we forget to plug them. The Nexus, we do a Star Trek recap show.

we've done the entirety of the original series. We are deep into TNG. We are doing it alongside the animated series, Star Trek, the animated series from the 60s. And it's a lot of fun. Well, we just hit a milestone. You want to say the milestone? We just, yes.

Episode 100 just came out. So there's 100 Star Trek recaps. And that's double, right? So that's 200 episodes with that. Doing a lot of driving around this time. perfect for any road trip exactly yeah and not perfect for a road trip because it like you throw up

we just did an episode on animation damnation on the little drummer boy which is disgusting and nobody should watch it vile stop motion raking and bass yep terrible thing much better to look at is Eric Roberts who does a whole two minutes of screen time

and the latest once in a lifetime we're talking it's beginning to look a lot like murder. Oh, no, not murder. Yeah. Oh, sorry, Steve, it is. Yeah, it is. It is. It is. It is. We're apologies. Great title. Maybe not a great movie, but we've, this is a side show we do at the top tier.

We've got, we've got, that's the 23rd Lifetime movie we've covered on that feed. Wild. Check it out. We will be hitting 100 one day. Also on that top tier, we always get Melro 210 is our top tier side show about Melrose Place and Beverly Hills 90210. This one was a total banger, a really fun episode on both pieces. I believe we had some street racing and we had some crazy bell-rose shit going on. Including Sydney getting sent to the booby hatch by her own sister and father. That's right. That's heartbreaking stuff on there to match with the Fast and Furious stuff.

Yes, Steve Sanders and Brandon gambling on illegal drag racing, of course. And we also have a sinkable commentary that is out now on. Hungley's Hulk, which is a really fun two hours, some odd minutes we hang out with it. Yeah, absolutely. If you're bumming around the house playing TV catch up right now in that nether space of the holidays, we've recapped all of the penguin and all of X-Men 97 as well. Just check out our website for all these. It's my favorite show over the year.

Nice. It's real good, man. I honestly think my favorite show of the year was Penguin, funny enough. But yeah, all of that. and so, so much more over on our Patreon. Patreon.com slash we hate movies. Now, Steve Sadek,

the show will continue in 2025, which, shockingly, is just next year, or next week, rather, I should say. Next year is next week. There it is. And what on Tuesday will we be talking about then? Well, it's so weird because I could see the future, much like the titular character of Madam Webb.

Oh, yeah. Yes, we are getting into the month. You know, some of the worst and some of the meh and some of the of last year. We should mention this January, it's stuff that's fun to talk about. Not everything we're going to select is something we think is literally

the worst thing of the year. If we were doing that, we would be doing nothing but Mark Wahlberg movies and you don't want that. And or like Christian nationalist films that we're just not going to just get into all that shit. Exactly. But make no mistake about it, Madam Webb is one of the worst movies. We're starting out with a real banger.

You don't want him to see me talk about that, Zachary Levi, a Purple Cran movie. I'll tell you what you really want that? Purple crayon, Zachary. Right up there. Right up to shoot. Yeah, so there you go. Next year, the show continues. We should say also, thanks a lot for tuning in for another entire year. You know, whether you're a patron or you're just tuning in on the commercial feed. We love that you're here. We love that you're still sticking around. And we love making the shows for you. And guess what?

2025 is going to be no different. So until next year with Madam Webb, I've been Andrew Juppin. Eric Siska, Chris Cabin, Stuart Wellington. Take it easy.
