this week on the program it's the only zombie movie that's appropriate to wash out a July 4th barbecue it's the return of the living dead I'm Andrew Jupin Steven Zaid Act The Living, Siska Brains

and we hate movies We all go a little mad sometimes You know, it's Halloween I guess everyone's a title of one good scare Sometimes, death is better. Zombies have entered the building. They're at the door. They're coming in! It is time to keep your appointment with the Wicca Man.

They're coming to get you, Barbara. He's sick for fucks using one too many movies. Now, Sid, don't you blame the movies? Movies don't create psychos! Movies make sense. psychos for creative What's a fucking ocean in the What an excellent day for an exorcism

Hello everyone, welcome to We Hate Movies. Thank you for tuning in as always. That's right. This week, the summer blockbuster extravaganza has taken a little trip down to Spooktacular Lays. Yes, well, I'll stop you really quick to let everyone know the events on this podcast are all true.

Oh, right, yes. We are real people with real names and this is actually happening. This is, you need a podcast. This is we supply all podcasts. Oh, man. I do love that this movie, which is indeed Dan O'Bannon's The Return of the Living Dead from 1985, does start with a Fargo-esque.

This is based on a true story. It's a great idea. I mean, this movie is, it's literally a top five horror comedy, if not, you know what I mean? Like, two, three, maybe. It's a horror comedy that's actually. funny. That's great. That's a step in the right yeah. It actually has gore that makes it a horror.

You know what I mean? It's not like, yep. And it's I, I did not grow up with this movie. I saw it like a couple of years ago on it. It was July 4th weekend. We wanted to watch a horror. We were like, oh wow, how about that? That's what you do. And we watched it. It was super fine. And I've now seen this a couple times now and I really, really enjoy it. Yeah, I mean, it is a movie that I didn't see until I was a little older. Definitely, though, a very famous VHS cover.

Yeah. Passing by it at the video. for sure this and the second one. I don't remember which video store in our town had two of them and then there was another video store that only had the third one which that was a real like, ooh, what's that about? Because it's the sexy lady

with the spiky fingers on the cover. I've never seen any of the sequels. I think I've seen the one with the cloud. The cloud is the second one. Yeah, diminishing returns. I would imagine you. Never really hits the fun heights of this. They're not unwatchable. There's certainly worse things on a bunch of horror.

platforms right now. Isn't it crazy Dan O'Bannon? He's basically responsible for everything we see. You think about that, right? Is that crazy? There should be a fucking statue of that guy. Yes, thank you. Put him on the Mount Rush for. Fucking alien. Wrote alien. Wrote Total Recall. Yep. Get Teddy Roosevelt off there. Seriously. I would, I would fully support that. And I'm, I think I'm the only person in the history of Earth that loves Dark Star. I'm a huge, dark star. You're not. There's another person in this room. I couldn't get through it. Oh, it's a fun movie? I was, I was, I

Last year, I tried to watch it. I'm like, I'm not the movie. Now, let me ask you this, though, Steve. Do you recall the screening circumstances behind you watching the movie? My wife is out of town, so it's like, I would never watch that movie. Sure. But you were alone, though. I was.

And I was sort of stoned as a group time. Yeah. Yeah, I could see alone by yourself the first time. I watched it alone by myself. Well, you're a dangerous loner. I am. I am. But it's funny because, like, I like this movie, but nowhere near as much as you do.

So we've got different opinions. We hate movies. on different O'Bannon properties. Fun movie could be great background in the party. It's not a movie you have to pay attention to, which to me lowers it a little bit. Great background on the party thing, though, because it is a movie.

You can think of yourself, like, walking by the TV, what are they getting up to? Better get a beer. I will say to this, why I like this movie is it has a tone, like a Dr. Strangelove-esque tone that I think is, few movies have the guts or the ability to pull off. I think the tone here, the fact that there is no stopping the zombies, there is no right way to do it. They literally, everything you do fucks you up, which also is the punk aesthetic, obviously.

Yeah. It's a fuck society thing. Anytime you try and fix something, it's going to create all these other problems to the point where you're just nuking the whole world. It's a better script than Crocodile Dundee. They should have gotten nominated. Is it the same year? No, no, no, no. One year off.

This is, this movie is the same year as Rambo First Blood Part 2. Totally awesome 80. This is a totally awesome 80s movie. This is a totally awesome 80s movie. Absolutely. Yeah, I mean, I love the starting with the, you know, it's all true. I just, I also love July 3rd, 1984, 530 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time. It also, I mean, speaking of a dark star and carpenter, it gives it that carpenter feel.

Halloween's got it. Oh, man, where the devil's a big green gas glob. Oh, Prince of Darkness. Prince of Darkness, I believe, also has text as does they live, I think. I think so. I forget a while for Prince of Darkness. Prince of Darkness, though, I'm almost positive.

Yeah, I just, I love that. The devil is a great big, gooey gas club, Sheriff. How's that my problem? Exactly, sir. It can turn you into insects, is what it can do. Don't tape it on VHS and watch it, Sheriff. It's so bad. It's the end of the movie.

that's right that is how the movie ends it's been a while for that but anyway yeah I love all the date stuff like that and this cast man of people you don't like James Karen as Frank and like James

Karen you know like classic like work horse kind of character actor guy he's great here he's so funny in this movie James Karen the voice of Pathmark when I was growing up really he would do the ads for Pathmark is a low rent

grocery store in New York. Right. It's like sub, you know, whatever your good grocery chain is, it's below it. Right. But it's maybe above a sea town. Yeah, it's definitely above a sea town. It's right in the middle there. Come in on Saturday for Pathmark. Ham, two for one dollar.

Pathmark. This is James Karen. Star of Return of the Livinghead. Are grocery prices eating you alive? Well, let me tell you what's on sale this week at Pathmark. glazed ham.

$8.99. Yeah, we found him in a vat downstairs and I used an entire roll of paper towel to clean the lid off, and now we're selling them. Don't let your wallet turn into a goopy, zumbified mess. Come to Pathmark and save.

We'll bring your bank account back from the dead with our prices. Oh, there you are. Kicked out of the other grocery store because of your Mohawk? Don't worry, James Carrot at Bathmark is okay with it. Are you named suicide? or garbage or trash,

we will welcome you happily into Pathmark. We certainly won't kick you out if you're stripped naked in the frozen food aisle and start dancing on a tombstone. That lady is welcome at film-sacidiv-Lickett Center.

She is welcome at PJ Clarks. That woman is welcome everywhere. Oh, absolutely. But James Carrot is so fucking funny in this movie. He really is, and I can't recall him like seeing him do comedy. Because his older roles was always

like cheap heat president, President Pathmark or whatever. You know what I mean? You would just come in and just do like whatever or like the big business man and be like well that's not going to fly here, that kind of shit. Right. But he's so goofy

in this movie. It's just running around like full slapstick. And Klu Lugger is good too. I love him as Bert the boss here. From last picture show, the king recently passed away. Did get Farina'd by the way. Of course he did. Of course. That's so.

But yes, they're showing Freddie who's this big punk kid his new job at the I guess it's a skeleton warehouse is what it is yes yes come on down to skeletons

do you need a half dog we got them yeah I guess it's like a medical supply company is the idea no we don't have catheters only skeletons at the skeleton supply warehouse why would a skeleton need a catheter

wheelchairs go somewhere else what's this uh yep that's a dead jumbo spy Okay, we do have that as well. Yeah, that we can provide. A bed that raises up at the head and legs go somewhere else. Try Pathmark. And all the skeletons, authentic Indian, as in from India.

Oh, right. What was the deal with the trivia there? That set off something. It did it really? Well, no, people thought it was maybe like a coincidence or something. Like that line happens in the movie. And then a couple months after the movie came out, India announced they were no longer exporting skeletons.

Oh, interesting. Wow. I was like, oh, did this movie have that kind of a reason that it made policy change? Reverberations. Across the globe. We're going to make skeletons back in America. So many skeletons, you're going to love it. We're killing so many kids, folks.

We're killing so many kids in their skeletons. Going to no use. I'm going to get the golden graveyard. Need the body of a Chinese dissident? Oh, you've got to have to go to the bodies exhibit it for that. Yeah, yeah, we can't sell those to you. James Karen's top four. movie, Poultergeist,

Mohol and Drive as Wally Brown? That's right, you know, he's the guy, I think he's in the audition scene that Naomi Watts is, and like, oh, he's one of the guys. Yes, he is. Oh, okay, and then the pursuit of

happiness. Wow. Yeah, again, like, just, I think he's the nice old man in that movie. That's the thing, I have not seen that, no, I bet you, I would, Dollars Donuts, he fires him. Oh, yeah, that's true. He feels like the guy who's like, plays Martin Frome. Let me have you in here, Will Smith.

I got to tell you, you do the worst work I've ever seen in my life. Have you considered working at Pathmark? How about homelessness? Have you tried that? Let's try you and your son. Try homelessness for a while and then come back and show what you experienced. But Kluge Lugger is leaving early for the day. It's a hard day at the Skeleton Warehouse that he runs.

Fourth of July weekend, buddy, boys. Absolutely, dude. Getting ready to party down once you leave your. half dog warehouse. See you at the barbecue on Sunday. I'll be there with bells on. Don't forget to wash your hands after you handle all these human

remains. I had, don't bring any meat to the barbecue. Which also, so if because I think this is supposed to be a Friday. Yeah. And it's the third, which means the fourth has fallen on the Saturday. But you're having the barbecue on the Sunday? Well, maybe

you know, that's where the barbecue, your co-workers come out. Yeah, that's friends. People are bouncing around. You know, they got a family, your wife's family You gotta go see that day Sure Go to the pool for two hours come out They gotta go see Rambo

Part 2 Oh right, yeah, that might be in theaters at the time Probably Fourth of July is one of my It's lower on my list of holidays For sure Because you hate America I do, yeah

Celebrating horribleness No, just even like the summeriness of it all And I know like it's fun You prefer Memorial Day Or do you prefer Labor Day? Labor Day I kind of like Because maybe it's sometimes a little cooler I like Memorial Day

at least because it's a three-day weekend. In fact, the 4th of July could be on a fucking Wednesday, and that's how what am I doing? You're right, they're really bound. Can we just do 4th of July observed? Put it on the Monday or Friday. Well, when I had an office job, they did do that.

Really? It was the observe. Oh, yeah. So it didn't matter where it fell. You know the thing is sometimes I would get, they would do like if it was like a Thursday. Yeah, you might get that Friday off too. Yeah, so I would get a four-day weekend.

So you're gambling with the 4th of July. I see what you mean. But sometimes you win. I do think it's like a Tuesday or Wednesday this year, too. So I think one of those But it is a It's a holiday to get out of the city I know a lot of people like staying in the city

It's big fireworks and whatnot Time to go to the Hamptons Well as a dog owner Like anywhere out of the boroughs It's like where you got to go Like we go up to the Catskills We hide the cabin in the mouth They shoot them

They're trying to people try to antagonize dogs I forgot about the fireworks Yeah yeah yeah That's horrible Yeah As a kid I liked the fireworks And eating hot dogs But as an adult I can eat a hot dog

Whatever I want Yeah And also like if you really wanted to, you could drive to Pennsylvania and buy some fireworks and shoot them off whatever. Like that, I'm sorry, we just recorded it, but like that delicious hot dog and crocodile Dundee that they call garbage.

Oh, right. You should be shoved on the fucking subway tracks for that shit. I can't believe we didn't talk about it on the episode, but yeah, dude, besmirching hot dogs in this movie. With peppers? You could get peppers on a hot dog back then? That hot dog cart with that guy, I feel that was, a real

fucking oasis. It was a mirage. but yeah so he's he's he's really cool gillogers were not excited and like yeah bert yes bert and uh frank is the frank and freddie frank and i get they they've got a really good comedy thing going on the two of course we didn't we didn't mention but that's tom matthews who would go on to be uh Tommy jarvis in Friday 13th oh okay that's it there are no fewer than three Friday the 13th alums in this makes sense you want to shop them around to different horror projects will you take your clothes off

Thank God. Well, that's Linnea Quigley playing trash in this movie. She's nude through the entire movie. Oh, yeah, you could throw me out, baby. Which was her, which was her bag back in the day. There's her boobers. There's her fucking whole vagina, actually. Pretty much, yes.

If you read the IMDB, that's like, oh, I was covered up and they gave like a fake minge. And then, like, the producers freaked out that you could see any minge. Then it was like shaved. Yes. I feel like you're seeing the real. real thing here and people are just making stuff up. Apparently there's cuts that fans of this movies are looking for

that have the pubicare. No. When you say fans you mean Steve. No, no. Instead of fans, he means freaks. Because the other part of that trivia thing, they're going up to her supposedly at conventions being like, I haven't seen your pussy yet. What? Really? They're like, oh, there's apparently a cut with your pubic hair

Do you own it? Can you give it to me? Do I have it? I'm still working on it, but I'm going to come to you the Philly Horror Con next year and tell you about it. I just imagine all, you know, you only see those pictures of con, you know, the con picture. You know what I mean? You're in front of the backdrop and like they're smiling maybe doing it. Freddy's pretending

Achilla. Yeah, exactly. Pussy out. Like, I just feel like everyone with Linnaeickely, like she's got like a frown on her face because right before the picture's like, could look at your fucking vagina, please? Yeah, exactly. Yes, some fucking pervert, harassed her at whatever con. You know that shit happened. The most anxious guy in the world, which is every other. one of these fans being like

wow you really haven't kept it up have you kept it up boddry shotgun shotgun two face so that's going on we're getting ready to close down the the you need a medical supply skeleton warehouse office slash skeleton warehouse yes and we meet some rowdy teens

who are just you know like any rowdy teens in the 80s looking for a place to party punkers man total punkers and then yes Linnea Quigley is trash she's like oh man I like death with a little sex Oh, yeah, you ever think about just having sex and getting murdered? Like, whatever she says.

She wants to get, she, of course, she tells her own death. I can't, what's the worst way you can imagine dying? I would be eaten by a bunch of old men. And, of course, this comes to pass in this film. Yes. But she's about to come when she says that. She's like this close. Oh, absolutely.

I mean, in reality, you think about it. In a way, we're all eaten to death by old men in this time. It's happening right now. We got here, of course, the great Miguel A. Nunez Jr. as Spider, he would go on to be in Friday the 13th, Part 5. Apparently it was homeless when they cast him. Oh, wow. It came at just the right time.

It was a pursuit of happiness happened in this movie. Did he have a son? I don't know. That's why they cast James Kearney had experience. That's right. You know we can get cheap food, Miguel. Go down to Bathmark. They often throw things out two weeks after the expiration date.

Pathmark probably did the craft services on this picture. Have you been fired for incompetent or evil? Come down to Pathmark. You can buy, you can get a half pound of turkey for $3. Hey, Miguel, here's some budget chips. You can enjoy their Pathmark chips. They're much worse than lays. No, they're not, not even Uts.

They're just Suts. Suts potato chips. Oh, get the big bag of lays, but that's with an I, not a Y. Oh, a Pathmarker. We don't sell that hippie-dippy sour cream and onion potato chip. We just sell sour cream chips. And now you can try a new flavor, pickles and peanut butter. Oh, God.

We don't have Doritos here at Bathmark. You have a burrito, which is kind of just more boring than a regular Dorito. No flavor powder on them. Just plain tortilla chips. But they are triangular. That's fun. You have to buy the salt separately. So they're all like

And suicide Oh great The great character suicide Oh my god Suicide who is the third Yes Friday of 13th Mark Venturini I think his name is

Yes he's the dude He's the dude who Butchers the chocolate bar Lovin motherfucker in that fifth movie there Built like fucking I don't even know what This guy should be ruling us over Yes absolutely

Yes So for whatever reason Tom Matthew's character Freddy is the party guy Let's go pick Freddy up at work He always knew the tubulate places to party. This is such a thing that you would do in your teens, though.

Like, oh, my friend is getting off of work in five hours. I guess I'll wait for him because I have nothing else going on. Oh, dude, yeah, the hanging out in parking lots, waiting for the friend to get, oh, absolutely. Sometimes, you know what, you'd go into the place of business to just have a little fun with you. I mean, I think I always, but, like, at the movie there, I think it was maybe, I think the most hour I waited, at absolute most. Yeah, waiting five hours is a lot, like, we're told it's like, 5 p.m. like almost on the dot and they're like,

you have a home? What time does Freddie get off work? Oh, 10 p.m.? Yeah, we'll just hang around in the parking lot for five hours. How is there that much to do at the skeleton house? There can't be. Also, why does the skeleton warehouse have to be open until 10 p.m.? What are they doing? We see him packaging skeletons. That's it. I feel like the

shipping, you know, A, it's fucking 4th and July weekend. The shipping trucks are gone at 530. You're done. Oh, those guys are out of there early. They're union. They know what's going on. By 7 o'clock, you're close the skeleton warehouse. And at tops, this skeleton warehouse

we're talking about there is at most I think what? A dozen skeletons? If you are really running this kind of situation when you look at this place they work you're thinking

oh you would be cleaning this place out for demolition. That's what you're actually doing. Why are you you're selling what 12 fucking skeletons a day? And it's profitable because they have PT. Sure. PT, perfect teeth.

How many people do you know live their whole lives? with perfect teeth. No coffee. I think that there's a skeleton farm out in India. It probably is. Which is a crazy idea. It's a crazy idea, but also a pretty decent horror movie

on Shudder that I'd watch. Oh, yeah. I'm sure it's out. I bet it exists. I bet there's skeleton farms in this country too. Oh, yeah, without a doubt, dude. King gets born, you you know, you're strap it to the radiator. You've got that kid farmed out in Austin. You don't think that's a

skeleton farm as well? Who's got a kid farm? Elon. Oh, you're right. All of his birthing mothers are in the same place. Yes, I mail my com to the girls and then I have another kid. Would you like a free apartment? Yeah, that guy should get some brains.

Also, like, the shipping, you see, he's showing Frank has shown Freddy how to do it. He's like, all right, put a little bed of that, like, hey down there, give her a nice little bed. And then he puts like nine packing peanuts. Like, that skeleton's good to ship. Absolutely not. And also, my other question of those,

why does the one skeleton have to be shipped in a huge sarcophagus-esque as thing like Dracula's coming over on the boat? With a double stack, I think. Oh, is it a double stack? Or they were preparing a double stack for that? I thought this guy in a single apartment thing. No, they're putting peanuts on top of them.

Yeah, but then I thought they were going to do another one. Oh, you think there's room? It's like putting beer in a cooler, you know. I saw you dip that skeleton and then he dipped again. I don't, you know, maybe they're ready. You're right. It is deep. I definitely, I think they had two skeletons out.

I don't know. They're handling these skeletons. You would think these are pried skeletons. You had these things shipped from India. They're handling these things like it's a sack of flour at McDonald's. Exactly. Yeah, you're really throwing it into that crate. What am I at Pathmark?

Double dipping, got you down? No problem here at Pathmark. It'd be difficult to find something that hasn't been in a human mouth. Its chips are made with human bones. Why would skeletons be discounted on Pathmark if they're cracked? Everything else is cracked here. We get our skeletons fresh from all. Ohio rather than India.

And we pass the savings onto you. Ohio skeleton farm, dude, made in the USA, dude. Right outside Columbus. We're out of chicken, but we have chicken, Skellington. I do love the half dog is a really cool little thing that gets a little play later. Half dog, perfect for grilling. Down at Pathmark.

Would you like to scare your children? Here's a half dog. Throw it right on the grill. Yeah, so we should talk about the other interesting thing with this movie is that it is, It is a pseudo sequel to Night of the Living Dead. And what I love about this is that, so the whole thing is the fella here that came up with this movie, co-wrote Night of the Living Dead with Romero.

Steve's going to get his name, so I can't pull it off the top of my head. But the agreement between Romero and this other fellow was, okay, we're disagreeing on the way to take the sequels. George wants to do it a little more serious. I think it should be fun. His name is. John A. Russo.

John A. Russo, that's right. And so their agreement was George can make his sequels and it's just of the dead and John can go make his sequels and they could be the living dead. And that is the line of the sand that was drawn here and one goes to lighter comedy land and George keeps doing his political stuff. But the cool thing, the meta fun thing about this movie is, you know, James Cairn, it's like, and it's like kind of the new guy. Well, I'm spooking out the new guy thing. And he's always, you know, we got down to the basement. We got the skeleton down there and the skeleton where I was not surprising. But you ever see that movie?

he doesn't say Night of the Living Dead. Remember that old movie? No, he says it. He says, he says, not a living dead. This movie exists in a world where not a living dead can't out. Which is such a smart idea. I was like, you ever see that movie Night of the Living Dead?

Oh, yeah. And he's like, well, that must work. He's like, that, I mean, it's a movie. How can it not work? It happened in the 60s and blah, blah, in Pittsburgh. And it was a real thing. But then they ship one of the skeletons,

Javier, total government fuck up. Yeah, total government fuck up is an awesome line. I'm screwing it up because I just the body types. It's not LA. This is Kentucky, right? Yes, it's Kentucky. This is Kentucky. Louisville. Yes. Totally government fuck up. They shipped it here. We still have it. Want to see it? And it's just... By the way,

shot fully in Los Angeles. Oh, of course. I mean, that's... No, no bones about it. No. But yeah, the corpses still got it down in the basement kid. You want to go take a look at it? I got, you know, there's a guy named Mosislaq coming to get some of these.

I think it's for nefarious purpose. insurance scam, I think. Car insurance, specifically. Bar insurance. This is all a cold open. He shows him the skeleton. He's, whoa, creepy. And he's like, you're afraid of it leaking. He's like, no, it's totally good, kid.

U.S. government. You don't know. Army Corps of Engineers. He smacks at the gas pops. The scariest and most fucked up thing about this movie is when Karen here takes a entire role of paper towel. sprits is the top with like windax

and then not he doesn't take some of those paper tops use the entire thing like a sponge and that is the craziest thing I've ever seen. American way. Waste as much as you can because it's easier that way. And you're taking Klu-Guliger to the fucking cleaners towel-wise. Oh my God, listen, we're going to have to start

buying all of the office cleaning supplies from Pathmark because we are going through these paper towels. I can't afford this at Grand Union prices. We have a bounty-less paper towels. Yes, no bounty. Ah, founty paper towels. Famine paper towels. Yes.

I'm just reselling thin Scott's toilet paper as paper towels down at Pathmark. But he slabs. He's like, ah, Army Corps of Engineers, baby. And then the gas pumps, they pass out. Cool synth score. Oh, dude, right into this righteous synth score. It's so good. And yeah, I just love the credits over the gas.

It's a synth score. It's a very pumping. It doesn't melodically sound like it, but it has the move of the Gremlin's score. Yes, it does. And when you hit that over the credits, it was giving me very much Gremlin's vibes. And then it's 4 p.m. Pacific Time. Yes. And we've got a military man who looks like he has a hell of a fucking estate.

This guy. Dude, I didn't know the military paid this well. Oh, yeah, that's why that budget's inflated. Yeah, we get this. He's colonel, whatever. the fuck at the end of the movie, but we get him here, he's coming home. You know, and I love this. How was your day, Han?

The usual. Crap. What's for dinner? Oh, lamb chops. I had lamb chops for lunch. Dude, I haven't lamb chops for lunch? What are you doing? I want to kill as many lambs as possible. See, because they're innocents. I hate them. The problem was, you know, down at the Army mess hall there, they were buying all the

lunch supplies at Pathmark. Got all these pork chops we've got to get through. I'm having pork chops night and day. I guess I should say, Ethel, I'm sorry. I didn't have lamb chops. I had lamb-like meat substitute in chop form, which was a special at Pathmark. Oh, it's Colonel Glover, actually. And he's got this cool, like, phone set up thing.

Oh, this is a fucking James Bond operation. This guy's got. You think it's like, oh, this dude's cool, like, bar that he's got in his office. No, no, no. There's scanners and radar and whatever else. And, yeah, he's just checking in. And he's like, all right, yes, I'm at home. And I realize I'm at call tonight.

So I will be home for the rest. of the night. And that's kind of just like, I love that that's all you get of that dude. And you don't know what he's there for. Because it makes the ending so much cooler. Everyone knows. Good things come from slaughtering lamps. We all know this.

It's always a good thing. And as you would do, when you pull up to your friend's work and you're like, uh-oh, I don't know how to read a clock. I'm actually five hours early. What can we do to kill time? Let's go hang out in the cemetery. There's no fucking video story. in this town man or arcade

perhaps. And you know, where does suicide normally hang out? But you know, you go into a video store, they're going to start pushing you. Why don't you, why don't you rent, night of living dead? That's true. Why aren't you work? What are you doing? They don't always accept your breast as payments. No, they don't. Not always. Lord knows I try. Go to a cheaper play. Go to one of the

more run-down places. I bet you you can get a trade. Oh, a mom and pop, they'll barter with that. Pop is going to love that. Bob would adore that. I love suicides thing. He hates his friends because they They mooch off of his car And they don't respect That he's a lifer in the punk world

Like this is like This isn't no fucking costume man Yeah this is me baby I'm suicide Covered in these chains Yeah It's trash Will you stop trying to have sex with me

I am tired of this Yeah wow real A real bummer there suicide Tina by the way Tina is It's the one that's kind of leading the charge I just want to see Freddy She's like the preppy girl

In the Punk scene Good doubles. They do a very good job of getting duos out because it's, it's Burt and Herney, which is great. Frank and Freddie. It's Tina and, well, I guess Tina is just with Freddie. She's part of that trio then. Because then you have Chuck and Casey and trash and suicide. Yep. And well, oh, no. And Scuz is around. Of course. Yeah, he doesn't have. I'm sure it has nothing to do with his skin color. And John Candy has barf. Yes, it's character. Oh, and spider. Spider. Oh, yes. Skuz, I forgot of Scuz. Scuzz and Spider, yeah.

Scuzz, not a ton to do in this movie. No, he goes out. Shut up. But, yeah, so they wake up in the basement, just coughing. So much of the comedy is derived from James Karen vomiting off-screen in this movie. Yes, yes. I love with the captions on retching. Oh, yes.

Oh, dude, good, wretching. It's better than pukin, and it's certainly more entertaining than vomiting. Retching. And it's a little wetter than dry heafing. I prefer a nice wretch. Oh, yeah. You want it sounding sloppy. Yes.

Nice wretch. Dry heave is just so boring. It's, yeah, pedestrian. It's like you can't perform. You know, like there's nothing there. I'm trying. Nothing's coming out. So this, the releasing of this gas has caused butterflies to start flapping their wings.

I love that little bit. It's caused the little half dogs to start yelping and barking. Which is the great, like, what's that noise? Sounds like dogs are barking. and they're like looking around for the dog and then it's just this puppet. Karen is really horrified by this one specifically. Wouldn't you be?

I mean like he is he is reacting to if I saw a zombie actually coming for me. That's what he's reacted to a little like whimpering dog thing and I'm like, it's a little overdone, whatever. Hitting it with a crutch. We sell skeletons and crutches. Are you sure we're supposed to be selling stuff and not blowing this place up?

Are you 100% on that? They're also concerned because Freddie notices is that the body isn't in the little it's not a coffin, it's a, it's a barrel basically. Containment unit. Yeah, yes, it is a containment unit. He's like, ah, I must

are evaporated when it hit the air, I don't know. We should say when the gas hits, the shot of the thing, the face melting and changing. Yes, it's so fucking cool. The reanimation of it. Really cool. Stop motion effects. Awesome. Don't they mention that like the cadavers? It's something like they

it's sold to like the military for ballistics or mad students and stuff I guess there's a news article a few years ago maybe about that this dude found out like he donated his mother's body to science and the military tied it down in a chair and then

used it as like target practice Oh my God! Yes I did see some headline about this. I think they blew her up or something Yeah she became chunks It's disgusting. Popcorn mama What are we learning? Oh a bullet will fucking kill an old lady got it oh that bomb made that body blow up

excellent glad we stole this woman's corpse I'm a scientist serge oh man I do love the let's spray some deodorant around here and you've just got your actual spray deodorant there was we saw a body hanging in the closet before or in a room

and now you're hearing the zombie groan come from it yes yes Karen against oh Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus, Jesus! The corpse, like, screaming from behind the doors. Him, like, half-crying this whole movie is so fucking fun to watch. It sounds like it should be annoying, honestly. Yeah, no, but it doesn't get to that because the overly cowardly nature of the character is what's really funny.

Yes. Right, and the whole, like, what are we going to do? Think! Think! He's the one who is actually, like, dealing, what trying to deal with these problems of becoming a zombie. Yes. Like, Frank is kind of just, or Freddie, I guess, is just kind of like, the whole time.

He turns into a big whiner. Yeah, and it's annoying as hell. But, like, Frank is kind of the counterbalance. There's a great. I think he's like, you shouldn't have touch. Freddy's yelling. You shouldn't have touched that, you idiot. He's like, you'll watch your mouth.

You want to keep this job. I'm like, you're a zombie already, dude. Like, the job don't matter no more. I just saw a half dog barking. You don't think I need employment just because I'm dead? Are you crazy? That's fair. Even if the skeleton factory stays in business after this cock up,

I don't want to work with that. guy anymore. No, we're done. Oh, no. You Nita is getting somebody's buying that place and turning it into a real, because again, this is not a skeleton warehouse. You need a real one. I want every floor full of Indian skeletons. I swear to God, because otherwise,

you can't, who are you selling this to two universities? Who's fucking buying from you? Come on down to the skeleton warehouse. We got a real surplus on skeletons. Lord knows, we thought we needed this many. What a mistake. Welcome to Pathmark University, where you can study Indian skeletons.

Pathmark medical, dude, look out. Discount medical license. You can try these traples. They cut open your cadaver, really easy. Speaking of keeping your job, though, James Karen's whole thing is he doesn't want to call the army because he's more just worried about getting in trouble with work is the idea. So he calls his boss, and again, this is another... Burt?

Burt, yeah. That's what I like about it. The social commentary stuff is so rich of just sort of like, what would people do in this situation? They do their best to cover it up. Just keep... Yes, is there a possible zombie plague in your fucking closet? Pretend nothing's happening. The American way.

Yeah, exactly. But yeah, Bert, you know, if it's a reanimated cadaver, we'll have to kill it. And they have the whole discussion about like, well, what did they do in the movie? Well, in the movie, they got to destroy the brain and cut the head off, blah, blah, blah. Or you just leave it in there, see if it gets out by Monday. I'd stack some skeletons in front of the door, make sure. This is, we would kill each. Me and Eric in this situation could be like, no, we have to cut.

We have to kill this thing. Find a fire somewhere. He's like, no, there's skeletons. The skeletons is where we have to focus on. It turns out I'd be right. You'd be making the rain come down into that cemetery. Oh, it's the world's ending anyway. I would not.

It's ending right now, too. I wouldn't tell anybody. I would take that fucking zombie out and throw him in the garbage where I threw all those Tony Tony Hawk love letters and just keep walking like it never. Fan letters, I should say. Maybe one of them was a love letter. I never read anything and just threw them out in the garage. You mentioned this before that you were

the handler of Tony Hawk's mail for a short period of time and then you just threw it in the garbage. Oh, yes. You're admitting to a federal offense. I get it again. I was an intern at a publishing company that sometimes fan letters would go to like authors of books. He didn't write his own book. But it's like, oh, we'll write the publishing company

a Tony Hawk fan letter. I was supposed to forward them on and then I just didn't and I didn't want to get in trouble so I threw him more. Did you feel any of them for, like, money? Any cards? Here, Tony Hawk, I gave you $5 for your birthday. Good. That's my coffee for the day.

Also, is a fan letter really real mail? Great point. You know, it's like a children's letter to Santa Claus. That's true. Well, that's because we moved all that to the internet, clearly. Like, sure. I don't feel with that no more. I read every letter, and I'm checking in on you every Christmas.

So keep those letters coming. Great thing. a bit of dialogue here from Clu Goliar, I believe. They want to go ahead with the destroy the brain idea, so he's got a pickax out of nowhere, and he goes, we're like, oh, we're going to open the door, and he goes,

when it comes out, you brain it with that axe, Frank. I don't know if I can do it. I don't know if I can swing an axe into a violent creature's skull. It's amazing, and all the special effect work is great here. Like, the thing runs out. This dude's completely naked. The chunk noise here when it goes into the head.

Yes. Right, but first it like, tackles. Burnt. Tackles him totally naked. Runs by everything. It just charges at the boss. Because as someone pointed out, at this point Frank and Freddie are already turning. I see. So the zombie

runs past them, not caring and goes right. His brain is vibrant. Exactly. But it doesn't work. It's a good way to do it. It's not the only way to do it, but it's a nice way to do it. I think by literally being, Like if you think it's the way in the movies

You're fucking stupid That's a great commentary And they heighten this which is really great It's like oh they're destroying the brain didn't work Maybe we'll cut the head off And then out of nowhere Clues just got this saw And he's making Frank do it's like

Come on Frank be a man And then you got the headless body running around It's so good This headless body looks awesome man Running around pretty cool I'm sure Danoban wanted a dick shop But he just couldn't get it Like a jibbly dick

Oh yeah just a zombie cock Pee zombie cock oh yeah that'd be great oh my god would universal whoever put this out before that against that probably not yeah oh they could cut it out

cut it off and then it's like getting hard on its own maybe contracting like it's like getting hard and soft and it's moving like a worm oh yeah dude then it's like a like a like a fun caterpillar from a cartoon you know what frank we might be able to sell this part this part might just be

might just get us something come on down to path mark we'll sell you a live sentient accordion cock. Is it meat for consumption or a sex toy? You decide. This is a novelty can of peanuts. And when you try to open it, it just has zombie floppy cock so fly out of it.

April Fupra! Get a free can of living dead Franken beans. Oh, no. There you go. God, it's disgusting. But so they realize it, now everything works independently. There is no way

to kill the zombie, at least the way they don't think it is. Right. They're trying to throw acid on it at another point and that doesn't work so then it's like, oh, Ernie. Ernie says, oh, I get, ernie's the, Ernie's the fellow.

Ernie hasn't come in yet. Bert, Bert is like, oh, well, my good pal Ernie across the way there at the crematorium, he could help us get rid of this problem. Now, this is, this is like the, the dead district. You can get your skeletons over here. You've got the, you've got the, you can bury them in the back of the graveyard.

Exactly. And you've got the funeral home right there. This way to bury them and do it that way, or this way to have them stripped, boiled and put on the market skeletonized. And you saw, you know, you guys, Ernie, my God, right? I love it. What a history. He's got the Nazi, former Nazi.

Total escape. What's the, what's the thing he says? I'll find in my notes. When he's looking at the rain store. Soldat. Something. I'm betrunken a soldier. The rain is coming down like a drunken soldier.

Yeah. That sounds true. And he's also, when he's introduced, on his headphones, he's listening to. the Panzer, like the tank the tank song from the African campaign of the Nazis.

Yeah, yeah, this dude is certainly coded this movie. He's got a photo of Eva Braun on his death. Oh, I did that. There is, there's like a doodle or there is a drawing of Hitler also somewhere. And the blonde hair.

The fact that he's this shitty blonde hair. But it's also funny, he does it completely American accent. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They walk amongst us. Oh, oh, sorry. Killer from Weekend at Bernie. Yes, he's the dude who makes Bernie O.D., which is very funny. But it's awesome watching the distinction between this dude's office and the office at the Skeleton Warehouse, which is your classic, no women work here.

It's all just dudes because pornography is all over the locker room area, the office area. Bikini Babes. This is all Hitler and whatnot. Don Calpha, by the way. Don Calpha. Yeah, this guy is really funny in this movie. Great face. By the way, folks, that I'm right into the mailbag, if you've ever had now, I've been fascinated with this thing, right?

You know, like, if your dad had, like, collector's plates, oh, like, basically pornography all over the garage. Like, Geraldman have a workshop. A good cave. Was he changing his own oil for a long time in the garage? I wouldn't have had to do that if it wasn't for your rot, mother, my ex-wife, clearly. Well, that's, of course, this country has gotten worse, Eric. because Goon Caves, you used to be able, you know what, sometime on the bikini babes, then back to the old transmission.

Sometimes on the bikini base, back to the transmission. Now it's just bikini babe, bikini babe. You're right, we were more productive. Yes, thank God. And you knew stuff. You used to have a trade, God damn it. I do love. Instead of trading nudes.

Yes, God damn it. Or feedpicks. Oh, feedpicks, obviously. Adding to Ernie's being a Nazi in hiding, I do love that he gets the knock on the door and as to answer it in the middle of the night, gun out, of course. You never know who's coming for you and when. And the German-style long pistol barrel thing. Yeah, absolutely.

From Rommel's personal collection. And he is in the process of what he calls, breaking out a corpse, which is once Rigger Mortis sets in, it's this fellow's job to crack it and stretch it so that we can make it bendable again. And here we go. Laffy-taffy-time.

You know, and this movie brings to mind something I think about often, which is like, you know, due to, you know, the way we handle the dead and whatnot. Like, obviously these kinds of jobs are needed. Sure. But, man,

however it is, you fall into it, I just couldn't tell. I guarantee it pays well. I guarantee you. I'm sure it's a lot of family business. Oh, yeah. Could have been that. Yeah, we knew a fellow back in the day who was going into some training for it. I don't know if he actually was that just for like, get his kicks off? Well, he was a weird guy.

He was a weird guy. So it did raise some eyebrows, but I don't know if he ever, like, got far enough to the training. Yeah, last night, he was doing the training last time we talked with him. I got to tell you, folks, listen, the best case scenario, you know you're dying, right? Swallow a grenade real fast. Because otherwise, these guys are doing all. God knows what to you. I mean, you cannot tell me that at least the male students, they're getting at least one grove.

Maybe they're only doing one. I'm talking full penetration, my friends. You think so? Absolutely. I think this is everyone. Not every one of them. That's the thing. As I think just the majority. But the overriding, the overriding crime is the fondling.

And that is definitely happening with all them once. Oh, yeah. Dude, they're checking out your bits and they're like flapping it around. That's a nice nipples. Putting a cigarette out on it. It could be one of the biggest speaking of no one's looking. Oh, for sure. It's the king of that, you know.

You know what, body cams. There's probably. Put body cams on these guys and the bodies. I guarantee you the people who run these. places like the boss of the boss it's a three strike in your it's not a first time you're in trouble okay Gary I'll let you have to hook this time

but two more times my friend and you're fired no no it's a threesome and you're out if you do it two at once you're out of here otherwise sure hey yeah Jack can you could you come in my office here could you explain to me that we have Miss Gulliver here and there are um I don't know how else to

say this there are lipstick marks all over her body what did you do last night it appears that she was manhandled worse than the produce at Pathmark. And I didn't think that was possible. I honestly, that stuff's mush to begin with. Those people treat their vegetables like, shit. You cannot buy a yellow banana

in that place. It's all brown. This woman's more bruised than an apple at Pathmark. The oranges are brown there too. They're all brown. What do you do, drop her down the fucking stairs like a watermelon in Pathway? What are you doing here?

No juices are leaking at it. This corpse has more dense in it than a of beans at Pathmark. Come on to Pathmark, where this July 4th, you can have half of a smashed watermelon. This display is full of dented items that are half off. The display being the entire store. Those Franken beans that made everybody sick and die on sale for a dollar too. This weekend at Pathmark, that ain't potato salad.

Figure it out. Also 50% off if you do. But yeah, so they go to Ernie. They've got, they've, and it's kind of, I love Kluge Liger here, just being like, uh, hey, buddy, how long we've known each other. Yes. Anytime someone starts a sentence with how long we know each other, you're being asked a huge fucking favor.

You know it is a boundary crossing request that is about to happen. Yeah, buddy. We've been, uh, working in the death field for quite a long time now. What do you say we kill the world? How about we just go ahead and destroy this by, by, by releasing a, uh, uh, releasing, a plague on how you ever call your cemetery resurrection cemetery. It's great.

I would not want to bury anyone there. No, man, because the only step worse than that is just literally calling it pet cemetery. Death doesn't exist cemetery. But at first he says like, oh, these are a rabid weasels because they have dismembered this corpse and

put it in garbage bags. And all the little puppets inside are making the bags move. It's pretty great. Can I see him? You're going to see these weasels? He's like, no, you can't. And then he's like, well, all right, that's it, Jumain. I'll burn the weasels for you.

I know you want to get in trouble. I'll just go up back and shoot him. Then he has to be like, all right, listen. You ever see that movie night and a little dead? All right, I'll run through it. We cut back to the cemetery. The cool thing, I mean, like, the cemetery is called the Resurrection cemetery.

On the front of it, when we're bringing in someone is spray painted no future, which is, I do think some of the, like, we talk about the, like, in 28 days later, we talk about the zombie genre a lot. We talk about, I like the hope in that movie. because so much of zombie stuff is so nihilistic. This is nealistic but it's fun nealism. There's a there is a difference like the Walking Dead

universe is such grindingly bleak nealism. Yeah, it's grim, grim, grim, grim. Watching that show is just like sitting in that bottomless chair from Casino Royale and I'm just getting whipped in the nuts. All right, now this one's dead. Oh, that one died too. Okay, cool. This at least like it's like yeah, whatever, dude.

It's all going to burn. It's all going to burn. I remind us all dance at a graveyard kind of a thing. So, yeah, the dancing in the graveyard is around here. We cut back, you know, to the cemetery every so often. There is a move here where they're like, oh, it's almost 10 o'clock. Tina's like, oh, I'm going to go check on Freddie. I have to say, you don't comment on cinematography a lot in gloopy, gloopy, gloopy, horror movies like this.

And Dan O'Bannon apparently was bummed about this sequence of all of these really high angle, like looking down at this whole industrial area, this shot. where she runs across the campus, such as it is, to the, you need a supply company from the cemetery. It's this amazing great shot. O'Bannon was like, oh, I wish there was more close-ups because then you would have got more of her interior. And I'm like, dude, you make a return of the living dead.

This is a great shot you accidentally had in the movie. Like, take the win, buddy. You're also about to have one of the best homageers to Metropolis ever. But it's like, all right, well, I'll use. And it's kind of funny because Ernie, such a good guy, such a good old Nazi. You'll just owe me big time. And he never says what it is, because he's just, it's okay.

Yeah, yeah, it's like a you'll owe me, you know. It was like I borrowed 20 bucks from my dad one time in high school. He was like, you paid me back now. I was like, yeah, definitely. Also interesting that he was the character to be worried about something not being humane. Yes, exactly. Right. But you put the, he's going to put the thing on the pizza oven,

which is the crematorium. Oh, man. This is the only way to go, by the way. By making a giant pizza? Look how big this thing is. You can make such a big pizza. Big honking pizza right here. Remate me, put me in a folder's jar, call it a day.

Yes, I think that's the way to go. Throw me in the ocean. Let some of it hit one of you in the face while you're saying goodbyes to me. I don't want to be part of some guy's report of his second strike. You know what I mean? Yep, yep, yep, yep. I told you I'm not dressing up like Walter. We've fanned over this a bunch of times.

Steve's going to do the Lubowski thing. I'm going to do the Walter, but I'm not doing the stupid vest. I can't do it. As long as you have the orange-tinted sunglasses, that's all I ask. That I can do that. That I can do. You know, Steve, you know, you're not safe from the butcher yet. That's true, yeah.

Once you pass, it's going to be a day of, they can't cream at you immediately. Yeah, it's true. Yeah. You're back there for like two or three days, and there could be finger plates. And actually, you're probably right, though. Think about it because the ones you're going to dittle are the ones are going to get it burned up in two days anyway. No one's going to be looking at him. Exactly.

Yeah, no cares if the page is a torn. Oh, this one's dog-eared. Oh, dude, highlight under that. So the best way, I think, for you, as far as I understand it, is you want to be the grandma tied to the chair, getting blown up. Because then you got all those army guys touching you, and God knows.

Oh, eaten by sharks. Oh, sure, yeah. You're already, let's say, like, you die, and then all we got to do with the ceremony is kick you off the dog. Well, I want this to be filmed from every, angle, so it's touching anything. The sharks say I have a body cam on it, don't work.

You know what you should call Sean now and get this all set. Yep, well, we'll get the shoot ready to go. The cremation guy has to be like, you know, just once, Ted, I would like to fucking burn somebody without a cum on their toes, but I guess that's never going to happen. You got to give up your dream someday. But yes, we put the... Oh, now I'm just thinking about it, cremating and the toe, it's bubbling off the time. Oh, bored.

Like a pop and then the fire takes hold. A pop a fizzle. Hello. Sounds like semen, but. What's that smell? Oh, it's a churning cauldron. But, yes, they burn in the bags, and, you know,

Ernie's like, don't worry, everything's going to burn right up the bow and everything. The heart's going to take the lungs, but I can just make it hotter. Find it a hotter. Jesus Christ, man. How hot do you want this thing? Dust to dust. And then we were following more smoke. And in my head, I'm just like, da-da-da-da-da.

Because it is the same kind of thing. Synth kicks up, and you're seeing the chimney shooting smoke out of it. Green smoke comes out of the chimney, which I believe is the symbol for a goth pope. Yes, goth pope has been selected. And this, the conclave for goth Pope has selected suicide.

Yay! Pope's suicide. But it goes to... Bow, Bauhaus, a bow house, a bow house, a bow house, bow house. Sisters of mercy, bow house. Yeah, smoke into the sky.

And then it's great because they, one of them, Ernie, somebody's got a line of like, oh, and don't worry about it. The rain will wash it all away. And then you realize what's going on. The smoke is getting caught in the rain cloud and the chemicals are going back down in the rain and uh-oh,

falling onto the cemetery grounds. And getting seeping in and yes. Cause and effect. Who would know that would work? All this great shit. I love the cool shot of like following underground. Like the rainwater and everything is really cool. And yes, it's also acid rain. So it's burning the kids

so they have to run back at the car. The nudest of them all trash is like, oh, my skin burns. Well, she's like, oh, my God, this sucks. I'm like, why are you naked in the graveyard lady? Well, I'm sorry, but how else am I going to get Metropolis homage in here? How else am I going to get all these death sex worshippers to come around me and look at me and praise me? It's true. Maybe it's a thing where, like, she got naked.

It was a fun bit. Sure. And then she can't, it's dark in the cemetery. I can't find my clothes. Oh, it's over. Now it's raining. Oh, shit. Well, you know, like last week we were talking.

talking crocodile, then Dundee, a big voyeur movie. Oh, a lot of people. So this is the other side of the coin, the ex-positionist. Yes, you know what, that's true. Well, apparently Dan O'Bannon, he hired Casey because he was a regular at a strip club. No, no, no, no, no, no. Because I've read this

also. Oh. No, you're totally right. But it's just, it's, it ain't no regular regular, regular strip club. You read every time someone has told this story, it is some high-end VIP something or other. And I'm like, what was O'Bannon doing in these places? Is it an escort club?

I think it's... Yeah, Sydney from Melrose place, I think. Like a higher tier than like, you know, Jablonsky's pink stink off the highway. Yes. You know what? I need a new neon sign because you misspelled Jablonsie

yet again. You know it? The pink stink is perfect. You know, it's right next to that, pathmark. You get some cured me to go to a strip club afterwards. One stop shopping down at Pathmark. Yes, we do cater to the pink stink next door.

Come here and buy a six-pack of St. Johnny's girl. But he knew everybody. He was buying everybody Coke, apparently. He was the drug guy. Yeah, dude. I think it's some like, you know, 10 grand a year membership. There's a card situation.

Real deal security at the door. He was loaded off an alien, I guess. It must have been, dude. These are the day. 86 as aliens is happening as well, you know, like that thing. Yeah, we're getting that ready to go. So, yeah, he's just living high on the hog and, you know. Characters created by, that's how that shit works. What's that?

Did you say residuals? So, you know, we're sitting in the car or whatever, and they're trying to figure out what to do. Suicide, of course, can't get his piece of shit card started. Of course. The car were like, it's so shitty. You're spray painting fun notes on the body of it because, could care. You put your name on it. Is that the claim ownership? Do you have the papers

for this car? Oh, yeah. No. Suicide lost the pink slip for this car a long time ago. It's suicides automobiles. The best move for them would be to run into the supply. You need to supply warehouse. So they do. Tina is looking for Freddie and in doing so she encounters

as a zombie. Goes into the basement. She sees his hat sitting around and she goes down. This is the coolest zombie. The wet one. Oh, yeah. The wet guy. With the big This is the vintage one from 69. Yes. This is the dude that was in the barrel and it's just this awesome. Are you here? Who's there?

Cut brains. And you don't expect these fuckers to talk. No. And it's an awesome breath of fresh air. The way it looks really, it's like I was watching Sesame Street or something. What's that guy? John Puppet guy. Jim Henson.

John Puppet guy. Puppet guy. A.K.A. John Puppet guy. Come on down to Pathmark where we couldn't actually afford to say, we couldn't afford to say Jim Henson, we had to call him John Puppet Guy. Would you like plush toys from John Puppet Guy's favorite, favorite TV show, The Trupets? Guys, I was saving us from a lawsuit. We can't mention it. It's true. You're right. You're right. Yes. John Puppet Guys, friends take Manhattan. All in the movie section at Pathmark. But yes. Also, this zombie in

This is going to sound mean, but I hope you get what I'm putting down. Because also, speaking like a Muppet, it does sort of look like Dr. Teeth, which reminded me this oily guy does kind of, in the vaguest sense of the word, look exactly like Sid Hague. Yeah, oh, absolutely. RIP, by the way. Oh, RIP, definitely. It looks like Sid Hague now.

Probably. About time, right. I think so. You're right. Well, no, maybe Sinha got the common sense to get fucking torched once he checked out. Right, yes, yes. He, if anyone knew what was going on with Dad. bodies and Sid Hague. That's one body

I wouldn't touch. I don't often say this about Sid Hague, but I don't think he'd be wet. No, no, it drives a bone. No, yeah. And the brains, the talking is cool. Live brains. This is what started that idea in zombie movies, apparently. It was always brains. Yeah. They want brains.

Which is funny because there is some trivia thing about, like, Romero always had to correct the record that he didn't come up with that. I just imagine like some dumb question, like 40 years of Q&As, right? It's like, well, I said it before, man, and I guess I'll just say it again. The brain thing wasn't my idea, man, all right?

It was Rousseau's. All right, man, I had nothing to do with the brain idea, man, all right? Now I'm going to go smoke eight cigarettes at once. Excuse me. Well, I guess the brains is the best part, like, right? It's probably the juicest. It's how you get the essence. Yes.

You know, so if you want to capture the essence, bring that soul inside yourself. Probably got the most minerals. You could probably really, like, you can stay healthy on that. Yeah, after you're not eating for years, it'd be good to get a nice brain. moving and they'll just fall out of you. And it's probably kind of light, right? So, like, I've had like calf brain before. It's light so you can eat a lot of it and fill up on it.

It probably comes out. It's not a dense meat. It's a very light meat. You're having diarrhea. Oh, for sure. Yeah, there's no doubt about it. Tina hides in a supply closet. The other kids come in. And you, again, like, it's a great subversion because you think here comes suicide.

He's going to save the day. Yeah, the big guy. Oh, he gets chopped right. The skull chump here and the noise. Oh, dude. It'll make you shift in your seat. I did, because him and Scuz get the same death. I kind of was upset about that.

I kind of wanted to change him up. But to the idea of, like, this being a really successful horror comedy, it's able to do the one-two immediately because it is hysterical when suicide runs into the office and sees Sid Hague zombies standing there. And he just goes, what the fuck? And then it immediately bites him and it's horrifying. But in that, what the fuck? That is so funny. This huge punk dude just, what the fuck? Yeah, fucking Tina outsmarted this thing

And you can't sue us God damn it, man Oh, and then it's really great After he's done with suicide, he looks up And he's like, more brains And Miguel Nunez just throws an empty jar at him Like, yeah, that'll do it, dude. So they hide him in the closet.

Now we're realizing Both Frank and Freddie are really kind of sick. Yes. The funeral home guys think they still have solved the problem. I think they're totally safe. Yeah, they're unaware of, you know, what the rain is doing or is about to do or whatever. Called the paramedics. Paramedics come to check and like, it's like, oh, your body temperature

is 70 degrees, which is room temperature. Yeah, that's certainly weird and you don't have pulses and all this stuff. And at this point, like, they really are sort of layering on the makeup, like they're looking. Yes. Way or pale. Yeah. You know, zombie-esque, as it were. I do love the, like, when these EMTs come, this is when it really sort of sets in that, like, this is a screwball comedy with gross zombie effects because it's like what it's just like watching a endless car crash where it's like people come to this dead end street the death district of louisville and they do not leave and they are just instantly dispatched you know with with some frequency yes well there's no heroic engine because there's no way to kill the zombies that's the most interesting

a part about it is that you can't allow for because you keep away like oh one of these they're they've got At least the first time you watch, you're like, one of these times they've got to figure out what's going to kill them, right? They've got to figure this out, and they never do. Like, that's, I think, what's really the key to the movie. And I guess because there's sequels, the Army doesn't figure that out either. No. The bombing did not work, it turns out.

But the teens, like, run back to the cemetery. The surviving teens run back to the cemetery. The cemetery is, like, flooded, basically. So they're, like, standing on, you know, various big tombstones or whatever else here. And then this is just the really great, do you want to party? And then, like, all the zombies start coming off out of the ground, right? This soundtrack fucking rules. It's a really great soundtrack.

This is when Trash gets it. It's great. It's her big nightmare, which she just spelled out four minutes ago. Yep. Absolutely. ...ripped apart by a bunch of old men, and she gets her up apart by all. And watery mud, I guess. A pool of mud.

And she kind of turns into a super zombie, like a little vampiric. The leader. It's literally Metropolis. She becomes the leader of the fucking, the, well, I mean, that it's like, like, this is the hottest one of the malls, that's how that works, yeah. Yep. Yeah, the hot one's their leader. Oh, man, did her forehead get bigger?

You know what? I'd still do it. I'd still do it. But yeah, so the paramedics are, we cut back to them, but it's like, so basically, you're not alive right now. Like, clearly your brains are still working and everything, but you have, like, zero life vitals, like, at all. We're going to go back and call this in, and when they go outside,

oops, they get zombieed really quickly. This is great. I do love the, this, we get a name on one of these EMTs, Jerry and he starts the ambulance and like when he does the zombies like right by the door and it's a good for a movie that doesn't have a ton of scares per se like this is actually a decent

like jump scare in the movie but yeah and then the other dude's like Jerry what's go what's that noise and then he's just like two awesome defensive football players just fucking nail this dude and this is I mean he's a fast zombies by the way Mr. Mr. Boyle

FYI you're right you're right you're right and very conversational I love going on the radio. Yeah, send more paramedics. Yes. That is awesome. Yeah. And that's like when you realize like, okay, it can go beyond brains, live brains, send more. But now it's like a full oh, sentences are happening. Right.

Which is great. I love Ernie going out there. It's like, oh, we're going to go out. We're going to drive out. I'm going to back the ambulance up and then we'll drive out of here or whatever. And he goes out, sees how fucked up everything is and like runs back in immediately. And then like, so he's completely changed into it. Now we're totally

fucked because I've seen what those things are out there. They're all over the place. They're picking us off one by one. The kids realize that the, you need a supply warehouse. It's not safe. So we run into the funeral home. Then for the funeral home. Then they run to the grave room, then back to the funeral home, basically, is the idea.

Yeah, a lot of just running between like the three locations we have in this movie. Sure. But yes, now they're at the funeral home. It's because Casey and the other guy, Thai guy. Chuck. Chuck, yes, are kind of there. They have a will-day, won't they, and the answer is they. Chuck the ska boy of the group

That checkered jacket It's very close to he's listening to like two tone albums Absolutely But yeah he does a weird It's like it's kind of a funny like Well we you know He doesn't say this but it's kind of that conversation You have in some of these movies about like well if they're the only two left

We might have to repopulate the earth Like whatever it is and she's just like There's no chance anything is happening Chuck I actually like literally hate you So I'm never going to have sex with you I want you to take a good look around us. Things have to get significantly worse for me to be into this, significantly. So try to do the math on whatever that would look like.

You know what, Chuck, here's the deal. I'd have to be finding myself working at Pathmark after this. Living in the basement of Pathmark, shopping from Pathmark, and working in Pathmark. Oh, the Phantom of Pathmark. Casey's Revenge, the Phantom of Pathmark. Absolutely, dude. There's a fucking parody. He's doing the big, like, he's got the big piano.

He's doing all that. Up in Pathmore, it's like, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. It was just maniacally playing elevator music in the group. Oh, man. I do love, you have to do the great, we're boarding up all the windows in the funeral parlor. And Miguel Nunez has this great line where they're like, the guy's like, oh, we've got more windows over here. And he's like, man, how many windows are you got this fucking place? It's honestly a good question.

He's got way too much. It's a fucking mortuary. Come on. Clue Gallagher around here calls him dick brain. which is a really, I love a good, like, old man giving you a real nasty, like, curse word nickname like that. Dogface Pony Soldier. You just don't know what it means, that's great.

The clue got over at all, he's doing, like, the, he's staying high status the whole time, which is very stupid in this scenario. I mean, it's the point of the character, but, like, yeah, he's like, I'm running this show. He never succumbs to the horror movie, like, zombie paranoia in the way, like, the rest of the characters do.

Because he is still the manager of this medical supply store, God damn it. And by something we didn't really mention about Ernie. Ernie loves getting hard. And by that, I mean he loves rigor mortis. Yes. And he's obsessed with it. Now he tells Freddie and Frank, actually, it looks like you're getting rigor mortis. You might actually just not be able to move anymore.

Yes. You think for a second there that like Ernie's going to be able to do some of his limb-cracking moves that will give Freddie some sort of relief from this pain? And they're just screaming. No. They're just screaming from the beginning. And it's kind of gross. It's like, oh, you see, this is the blood pooling in their back. That'll make you throw up.

Oh, dude, yeah, that was gross. I was like, I don't know, Ernie. Can you drain that man? Do I have to look at that for the rest of this movie? And it's just a makeup effect. You know what I mean? Like, that's what's great about it. It's just, yeah, someone did some purple and then did some, like, green around it.

Yes. And that was it. And it's so disgusting. But yeah, so like, they're boarding it up. This is when Scuz basically gets it. Scuz, yeah, another skeleton bite right here. This is, uh, clues got a great. Oh, damn he's dead

And they pull out One of the Ernie wants to talk to one of the Zombies, this lady, great puppet here It's awesome, this puppet man John Puppet guy did this? I think this was some John Puppet guy work really That's why it looks so good

They tie it up and they're like Why? Maybe we'll figure out a way to kill them. Why are there so many Movies about zombies? And what happened? When you die. Alternative me, brains. Oh, yes, brains.

Or you'd have an animal, they're brines, brains, brains, brains! It would also work. Zombie Muppets, I love it. Why not? But yeah, this thing is... Burt, better get a shotgun for that zombie. All right, Bert, so here's the idea. If they get in through the boarded-up windows, first I'll kill.

you and then I promise I'll kill myself. We don't have to do a same time sting. I know that's never going to work. I promise I'll kill you and then I'll shoot myself. What if you fuck it up? I am going to slide myself into the crematorium. There's zombies better not come over here.

Hey! Someone could think that Kermit's a zombie because he's green. Oh shit, you're right. Possibly. Is blood pooling on him? Dude, that's what it is, right? It's like the end of the movie is, oh my God. The Zonaut. zombie warfare has gone on through the night. Kermit the Frog trying to pull himself out of this little farmhouse, you know, and then just get shot right in the head and some fat guys just like,

there's another muppet on the fire. I would love it. What great social commentary that would be? Oh, yeah, absolutely. She's actually by Dr. Teeth. Oh, man. And it's a great voice. I was just like, oh, it hurts to be dead.

It hurts to be dead. The pain of being dead, dude. Yeah. And the only thing that, Wells is his brains for a couple. a couple of minutes, you know. I can feel myself rotting, she says. And it's such an interesting thing to get, like, the interior here of, like, what it's like to be a zombie, you know.

When do you think that stops? Like, how much, I mean, she's just a torso. Yes. Right. I guess once your head or, I guess, yeah, I mean, I don't know, right? Yeah. I think you do need to fucking cremate yourself, which is, yeah. That's what James Karen is the smartest guy in the fucking movie, dude.

James Karen takes the pathmark route out of here. really is he's the hero there is a thing you know and i i always say this when i'm about to criticize it but i feel like open conversation is different than when you're tippity tapping miguel nunez way too much just superfluous fucks yeah every sentence has a fuck when you know where's the fucking bathroom even you know what i mean it doesn't it's as bad as this podcast well that's what i'm saying like we don't write this no i mean we just we just are filth talkers but yeah but that is i mean these these are all 31 year olds but like they're supposed to be teenagers And, like, teenagers talk like idiots.

Okay, so the movie Filth Talkers, it's Nick Cage, decoding Nazi code that's all written in swears or something. There's so many curse words. I'm one of the only people who have to know the word fuck. Well, this symbol keeps on repeating. That must be fuck. I have to talk to a benevolent Italian guide to teach me how to curse. He's really good at it. But, yeah, oh, around here.

We get the, we get sexy zombie. Oh, yes. Tonight, we'll make love till we die. Yes. And just the music is killing it here. I love this, we have this homeless gentleman here who I believe is played by Dan O'Bandand. And it's like, oh, is that? Oh, it's a zombie.

Oh, I'm scared. Oh, but wait, it's a sexy zombie. I'm intrigued. I'll take it. Your life's been pretty bad this far. Why don't I do this? Is that one of the girls from the strip club that I frequent for a lot of money? Oh, no, I'm dead.

I do this is the cops show up and the cops are no help at all oh it's great and you get a good uh refrain of send more cops oh man that's so good and that guy looks like an Italian pervert he does I don't know why they dressed him up this way it's a little weird the send more cops on me he's like got a suit on he doesn't have a suit on

I think he also has mustache yeah yeah his eyes are a little bit like damaged or like yellow for some for the zombie of it all Yeah, it looks pretty. Maybe he's got like a hangover. He's hangover zombie. Maybe that's what that was. What if I don't to deserve this dry flavorless martini?

We realized that the chapel is probably a safe place to just cram Freddie and Frank. Oh, right. Yes, the chapel in the funeral parlor. We'll lock the door. They'll be fine. Tina is very attached to Freddy dude. A, it's high school. And B, this dude is dead.

I don't care how big. Big dude, probably nice coffee. on him. Sure. Gotta move on. There's plenty of other Freddy's out there if you can survive this zombie apocalypse. No need to willingly be locked in a room with two of them. Nope, that's totally fine. Ernie at the same time is like, oh, well, we'll lock him in here for now. But by the way, I've got some nitric acid on hand that it melts anything.

Why don't we start huffing it right now? Because this thing is looking south right now. I do kind of wish this acid effect was a little more something. There's nothing. It's nothing. I kind of wouldn't like a skull head or something. Yeah. You blew your wand on the sit hay. puppet guy.

It just makes his eyes just like painted over basically. He starts foaming at the mouth a little bit here when he turns and he's like crazy chasing her around and whatever. He gets very Jack Nicholson. And this is when, you know, Frank is looking at this guy

and he's like, I know it's coming. Yep. I remember where the crematorium room is. Oh God. The idea of just sitting on that thing and he takes his wedding ring off which is very nice, very poignant moment. And he just burns himself

to fucking cinders, man. And that is the way. Way to go. He does a little prayer, I think, asking for forgiveness of the suicide. Yes. Well, you have to, man. It's a sin. This is got to be on.

Sorry, we destroyed the world. In the, in the scale of the book, St. Peter, this can't count. Honestly. It can't. It shouldn't. I mean, I want to see this. You at the Burley Gates taking St. Peter to court.

I would. I would. I'll report you to Matthew. Where in the same? Is there anything about zombies taking over the world in eating the Yes, it's the end of the book. Literally the whole back half, right? There's zombies in the back half, really?

Jesus. Jesus was a zombie. Well, geez, yeah, but he's not eating flat. I mean, like, what you know about? Send more cops. Oh, I see. It's right there. Send more centurians. Yes, there you go.

Now we're talking. Oh, dude, zombie Jesus horror movie. Oh, that's something you'll scroll right past on shutter. You're like, no, thank you. Absolutely. Oh, don't worry. It's not as funny as you thought it was. Remember that guy who was in the one scene of that one episode of Gilmore Girls?

He's starring in Zombie Jesus. Oh, yeah. Now that Jesus is in the public domain, they can do it. That's right, yes. Oh, dude, yeah, that great mashup movie where Jesus was on a killings free with Winnie the Pooh and Popeye. Great. A bloody day of resurrection. It's just the goryest fucking thing you've seen.

Jesus, like, slaughters women for two hours. And it's a terrifier movie. Yeah. They'd die for my sins, I guess. Damn. Somewhere around here, a spider calls Bird a stupid honky and it's like the funniest line of the movie.

It's really good. It's because there's something about all these viable cars that they could get out of there with just all start blowing up. And it's like, oh, I think like, it's like, I'll drive. I'll go out and I'll drive and we'll, you know, it's like, I'm the boss

here or whatever. He calls him a stupid honky. Yeah. I'm the boss of you teen who was hanging out of the cemetery next door to my office. Just shut up. sense. So now Ernie and Tina are

together and Clue Gallagher and Emil de Nunez are in the car together. They can't go back. There's too many zombies. I love the zombie cop pretending that he's a cop directing traffic for the rest of the cops like, right this way. And he somehow had the foresight to put his raincoat back on.

We do cut back to the general at one point where he talks to his wife and he's like well, you know, she's like, one of those barrels are going to be found? He's like, I don't know. But, you know, it's been years and it's like, I kind of hope they never get found, i.e., this would be very bad if this ever happens. Oh, right. So we have three scenes with this guy? I think there's one in the middle, somewhere.

Because he gets, like, the phone call in the middle of the middle. There is one of the middle. Like, it's like him with his wife or something. Yes, yeah, yeah, something like that. But that's towards the end, too. It's not right in the middle. We're kind of towards the end now. Yeah, we're pretty close.

I mean, basically, so they, they, Miguel, Dei and Cleggagel, get in the car, where they're going to go, the only other location, which is the, you need a wear house supply. uh yeah and then you know you need a new location uh yeah at this point uh ska guy and casey are hiding in like a crawl space yes is the idea and they get back into the warehouse here there's also a police helicopter that shows up at this point which is you know i'd like to see that thing go down yeah you don't have the money for that no you'll see that explode or propellers taking out some of these zombies that'd be nice oh that would be kind of cool too uh ernie had suggested earlier that they could hide in the crawl space above the area and the zombies

wouldn't be able to get up. I'm not hiding in a goddamn attic. I think that's Miguel Nunez doesn't want to hide up there. But now it's just him and Tina and that's all they can do so they go up there. He's got his gun and like again, Freddie's going full shining downstairs. Come on Tina! Yeah, that's

he's doing a lot of like, you made me break my hand completely off this time Tina because he's like banging on the fucking ceiling or whatever. You hurt me really bad. You gotta let me eat your brains. I'm so sorry, baby. But yes,

Clue Gallagher finally decides, all right, I guess I'll get in trouble with the government by calling the number on the tank kind of a thing. Fucking fine, yes. The thing you should have done in the first place, but... I think you should have done 14 years ago

when it was delivered wrong. Yes. And I love the colonel get on the phone here. It's like, and when was the tank first breach? Uh-huh. And what happened next? Uh-huh. Like, you're getting this... And then they're dead. Fucking rolls for the crap.

And what effect did that have? We found the missing batch of Easter eggs or whatever. Yes. Oh, okay. Oh, that's great. Oh, well, the eggs have hatched. Yes, yes. Yeah, the lost consignment of Easter eggs.

You know if you want to find some broken eggs, try Pathmark. How do you? Let me ask you something. Is it anything like what happened to the Pittsburgh Penguins last time this happened? Where they were just eaten all up, that's totally terrible. Come on down to Pathmark. Our eggs have hatched. guaranteed by the way

part of that agreement that Romero and Russo or whatever the other guy had you can't go anywhere near Pittsburgh just just you get Pennsylvania is mine you can go to Kentucky Los Angeles

wherever you want to be you stay the fuck out of Pittsburgh Absolutely it's actually It was the Romero policy That's the Mnard policy Nice to fuck out of Philadelphia God damn it That's for daddy and daddy alone

But yes he calls the president Maybe the stadium isn't in Philly, technically, but it's supposed to be. All right. Apparently, they have some kind of contingency plan. Yes. Yeah, Kucault was very relieved. Like, oh, the government's going to save us. Miguel Nunez, rightfully suspicious.

What kind of plan? Yeah, exactly. And it seems like Freddie is getting very close to getting in. And you've got, you know, Ernie doesn't want to do it, but he's got the gun. It's like, well, I guess. Yeah. The punchline to that Miguel Nunea's, you know, comment though of like what plan

it cuts to the military loading rockets if you were fucking launcher or whatever it's kind of great and he's talking to the president the general is now he's like well sir actually it's going to be very easy to do and like it's a very contained area and you know that whole thing yeah we're going to do it 12,000 people nobody cares about Kentucky

I let's be very clear about that and this I mean it's awesome because they launched this fucking rocket off and it is a you hear anything bursts open there's Freddie. Gina

freeze frame which is kind of an awesome reference I believe to the what election commercial was it where the little girl stops since the freeze frame

and the nuke siren goes off was like something around like the Kennedy time I don't remember what political ad it was but it was like the little girl and you hear the air raid siren goes off and your children are going to

fucking die pretty much what it was I promise you You know that fat Irish fuck run this country You're totally going to fucking die And you just yeah You see the big mushroom cloud come up You know just there

There goes Kentucky Great little puppet Paid for by the zombie group But yeah 5.01 a.m. Apparently only 20 square miles They say less than 4,000 dead The dude is like sounding

Very cool Very excited about that Yeah It's as good as it could have gone and blah blah blah and like wouldn't you know it there's a cloud now the mushroom cloud obviously it starts moving over what are we going to do about all that stuff oh well there's more rain coming so all should be back to normal by morning oh okay same skeleton zombie that we see rise out of the gray because that's like you're getting your money's worth you know that much of an effect

shot like comes out that one looks really good it's really awesome and it just it ends on that freeze right do you want to party it's fucking awesome and this movie knows you had such a good time watching it you watch the whole thing again is the credits absolutely a fun little victory line every last fucking scene almost it's almost like when they condensed the credits on a television broadcast yeah but instead of the credits they just condensed the whole movie and played it really fast well it's such a short run time right yeah 90 something it's a it's a really quick one in and out it's like 80s something yeah it's like signfield credits where you're just showing your favorite scenes yeah exactly uh there there's one of the tom matthews things that they let the

audio come back in for and it's the you mean the movie lie yes I just love the way that that dude speaks Jason you pussy you mean the movie line come on Tritit it's great it's not a bad question Bert

you were right 91 okay 91 minutes minutes oh it flew by oh yeah and I think actually probably the credits might be longish you know any one of those deals oh it's an 83er I think yeah it takes a while to get these A lot of music credits you want to get in there.

Those opening credits are also pretty long. It's true, yeah. Yeah, well, you know, got to make it feel like a real movie. Exactly, got to get your VHS worth. Alan Dwan could do that with 70 minutes, so eat my dick. Oh, there you go, dude. But, you know, sometimes short movies, make short episodes, and that is the end of the Return to the Living Dead.

We'll go around the horn here for some final thoughts, Eric Siska. Yes, it's a recommend. It's a lighter recommend. I don't have the reverences some of you guys have for it. I do like it though and I kind of really wish I had seen this before everyone else ran with it you know like Sean of the Dead

I feels like indebted to this I'm sure I kind of like so I'm watching this movie and I'm seeing shades of other movies in it which it should be the opposite yes so that kind of just fucked me that's tough yeah yeah but I had a good time I had a good time with it still yeah there you go

Chris Cabin better effects though yeah this of course is a recommend I mean, this is a silly, fun movie. I like, the politics are honestly, it's so funny that they were like, we got to split on the politics. The politics of this are very close to what George Romero's politics on. I think I misspoke on that. I think it's just like they wanted to present the ideas and a different, like Romero, obviously. Romero was a very serious moral filmmaker.

And Rousseau just, he wanted to, like, let's have that message, but have it be fun to watch at the same thing. One of them wants you to drink in the theater. And I believe that to be O'Bannon. And, yeah, it's a hell of a fun time. Even the sequel, not that bad. Pretty fun. The second one, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait, I haven't seen third one.

Third one's terrible. The third one is not good. I don't know that I've seen. They're making another one, I think. Well, they made two things back to back in, like, 2005, and it just looks like garbage. Well, it's the name of something that was already released, so it has to be released again. Yes. But they did two other sequels after part three, and I think we were even dropping numbers.

But they're serious. they're in like 2005 or something like that. 85, Living Dead, Living Dead 2, 88, Living Dead 3, 93, Return to Living Dead Necropolis, 05. There we go. Rave of the Grave also 2005. But now, Return to Living Dead in 2025. I don't know if this is a real thing.

It's planned for a December release date. It's directed by Steve Walsh, whoever that is. And it's just called Return to Living Dead. Anybody big? No, I don't think so. And then TBA, this is definitely fake. Trash is Revenge. Yeah, that's not real.

That's the title of a DVD extra, probably. It made for $200. Wait, the film will, this is on Wikipedia. So take this as a film, the film will start Linnea Quigley, who played Trash the original film, Tom Matthews, and Eric Roberts, among others. Wow. Sounds like a must miss.

I think this movie is not a must miss to get to my recommendation. again, I only saw it like three years ago and now I've seen it about twice and this is my third time for the show. It's super fun. I think I talked about in the Slezoids podcast. That's why I saw it again. It's super fun.

It's very funny. If I saw this as a teenager, I would have seen this a million times. This is like a perfect movie for a teen that's figuring horror shit out. Sorry, Steve. Wouldn't you be scared to even rent this movie? That's why I didn't see it.

You're totally right. but if I was cool but no I the punk aesthetic and like there's there's punk aesthetic movies and other movies that have punk aesthetics this has like a real it is that sort of like fuck it we're gonna party and we're gonna fucking die kind of a thing

but it goes beyond the aesthetic though right it's like the politics are very punk and ethos the filmmaking itself is very punk yes it's very low-fi yeah so anyway it's not just the music it's not just the costumes it's the ethos it's how everything is explained in the

film how the movie moves is very punk and it's it's it's it rules it's not going to talk about the roots of punk the way like something like suburbia does but like it is i think as serious a as you say ethos i think it's about as serious as you can get yeah uh it's it's a recommend for me i just have to say uh i pulled up that 2025 return of the living dead and it starts auto playing what can only be like a teaser uh oh see more at return of the living dead dot com i i won't be doing that. But the teaser is a Sid Hague zombie dragging a Christmas

tree through a cemetery as it snows. Okay. I don't know. You know, I got a feeling, folks, we got a little bit of a high-budgeted fan film on our hands here. It's entirely fine. Very likely. You always got to watch out for those these days. Taking place 18 months

after the events at the Unita Warehouse in Louisville, a new trioxone 2-4-5 leak puts a small Pennsylvania town, on the brink of a zombie outbreak during Christmas 1985. Why would you title your direct sequel the same title? That doesn't make it, yes. Yeah, well I think it's so mooks like us look at it and go

they're making another one. Yeah, fair enough. And then you look at it. But no, yeah, this is fun. Watch it during the July 4th BBQ times and just realize you're having a better time than anyone in this movie. That's for sure. Absolutely sure. But that is going to do it to this episode on The Return to the Living Dead. If you want more We Hate Movies, check out the Patreon.

Where we also do things like we love movies where this month, it's still June here, so we're still, the WLM is still 28 days later, zombie theme here. That was a lot of fun revisiting with that one. What we have going on on a once-a-lifetime. Of course, we've got Killer Contractor.

one of the best things we've ever watched of the lifetime breed. It's such a fun, stupid movie. Yes, it's on YouTube in full if you want to watch along. Absolutely. We had a great conversation. It was a lot of fun. Listen along as well.

We just did on animation damnation, an episode on Superman, the animated series, one of my favorite animated series of all time, one of my favorite episodes with Gilbert Godfrey is a Mr. Mitzelphick. By the way, speaking of something we just did, which is still available, we just did our live virtual show on Superman 2,

which is still available for about 10, more days or something like that. That's right. I mean, we only did it last Friday. Exactly. We have 14 days after the replay. You could rebroadcast that. It was a lot of fun. It was super funny. We loved it. Also next.

Actually, if you're listening to this, the day it comes out, which is the 24th of June here. On the 26th, we have an all-new gleep glossary. We will be discussing Andor's season two. A lot of people wanted us to discuss Andor. It fell by the wayside, but we're going to dedicate a whole episode to it.

And we could, I think even, could we just call it the Cassian Andor episode? Because he's just in the movies, right? That is his bio. That's all the movies, right? Exclusive ending, yes. Absolutely. And speaking of which, keep the content train rolling this Friday,

the next sinkable commentary. That's right. Our John Wick Tumintary is coming out. Us talking over that bad boy. Love seeing Keanu back in the suit and the guns. Eric's on the upper level cursing at me quietly. I'm cursing at him. from the lower deck quietly, going back and forth.

I've got the special hitman money, and you don't. We'll just see you later. He's got all the coins to get into the Continental. But as always, like we say around here, every Tuesday, there's a brand new episode. The summer blockbuster extravaganza is continuing, though. This is the end of totally cool awesome 80s month. We're getting in July. And Steve, what piping hot pod do we have coming down the pike?

It might be the stupidest movie ever made. It's Lucy. It's from 2014. noted by great guy, Luke Besson. Oh, yes. Creepitude off the charts. But no, who's seen Lucy? I have not seen.

I did not check it. Oh, yeah, I was going to make a joke and I can't now. Your brain is going to leak out of your ear. I'm excited because Luke Bisson can be very trash, and I kind of like his trash. So, I'm excited. Both of you do me a favor. Okay. You get 30 minutes in and write down what you think.

she's going to turn into. Okay. You just, just that. I'm just saying that. I don't even know what the movie's about. You don't need to. Just about,

you'll find out 30 minutes. She's turning into something. Okay. What do you think she's turning into? Because you will be blown the fuck away. I can't wait to be blown the fuck away. Is it a Sid Hague oil zombie? That would have been better.

So until next week, when Eric and I are blown the fuck away with Lucy, I've been Andrew Jupon. Steven Zaid. Eric's sister. Chris Gavin. Take it easy. I'm gonna
