Hey, gang, before we get into this week's devilishly delightful episode on Needful Things,
just wanted to give you a couple quick reminders.
First up, don't get sold out of our 15th anniversary show happening this December 6th.
It's a Saturday night.
We're going to be at the beautiful bellhouse in fantastic Brooklyn, New York,
talking all about Arnold Schwarzenegger in Total Recall that he stars alongside Sharon Stone, of course,
so you are not going to want to miss that.
Celebrating the better part of two decades on the air.
Holy cow. Tickets are available now, folks. Just go to our website, WHMpodcast.com. Go to our tour page. The information is right there. Again, Saturday, December 6th. We're talking total recall. We're back at the beautiful bellhouse. It's our favorite venue to play in the city. Holy smokes, folks. We want to see you there. And also the Craventier now alive and kicking on our Patreon. Patreon.com slash we hate movies where that's right. We have two new video shows going into that top tier.
First of all, you do get all the audio, all the audio shows that we release every month on Patreon.
When you sign up for the Craven, you of course get all of that.
You of course get the Big Daddy Dispatch.
But on top of all that stuff, you also get two brand new shows.
One is called After Dark, which is a monthly show where we do sort of an AMA kind of ask us anything format where you, the patron, the audience member, get to hang out.
It's all for you.
Chat with us, ask questions.
We tell stories on the air.
It's kind of like the old after parties we did at the moment.
shows, but this is just for our supporters. And then, of course, the other show, quarterly,
folks, quarterly now, we're talking Scarety Cats. It's an all-new show where we are dissecting
Rippin'on and goofing on modern horror movies and celebrating modern horror movies. And even,
you know, lauded, acclaimed horror as well. We're going to be talking, we're kicking it off
of the claimed horror. The 29th of this month, the first Scarety Cats is dropping, and we're
talking all about Zach Craigers Barbarian. Fantastic.
movie from a few years ago. Of course, there will be some weapons conversation involved as well.
No way around that. Of course, it was a huge movie this year. So we'll be talking about it all
of those two movies, I guess, but mainly focusing on barbarian folks. So have that one watched
for sure. Both After Dark and Scarety Cats come with audio components. Scarity Cats,
you get it right when you get the show. It's right there for you because it's a pre-recorded show,
of course, so we can offer the audio and video simultaneously upon release. However, of course,
with After Dark. It is a live show. It takes us a little bit to turn around that audio,
but you do get that as well. However, we encourage you to watch both of these shows.
They're video shows. We're doing the video for you all on The Craventure. So again,
patreon.com slash we hate movies. Head there now. Sign up for the Craventier. We should say
the next WHM After Dark is scheduled to go live October 21st at 8 p.m.
So that's when the October's edition is happening. So make sure you tune in then.
And yes, like I said, the 29th. So just basically a week later,
Scarety Cats, first episode premiering on the Patreon as well.
And of course, yes, December 6th, we are talking total recall for our 15th anniversary show
at the Bell House and Brooklyn, WHM Podcast.com for those tickets.
Okay, I've done enough talking.
Let's get into it.
We are going to Castle Rock, folks, kicking off the Halloween Spooktacular with a really
fantastic conversation on Stephen King's Needful Things.
Have a great week, y'all.
Enjoy the show.
Cool, man.
Woo-hoo!
This week on the program, we're
kicking off our scary horror season by talking about, oh, what's that?
A Stephen King adaptation, don't mind if we do.
It's needful things.
I'm Andrew Jopin.
Oh, don't mind to me.
I'm just a kind of German man living in your town, stupid Shadak.
Eric Things.
This is Chris Cabin and Harris.
And we hate movies.
Sometimes.
You know, it's Halloween.
I guess everyone's entitled to one good scare.
Sometimes, dead is better.
The zombies have entered the building.
They're at the door.
They're coming in!
It is time to keep your appointment with the wicker man.
They're coming to get you, Barbara.
He's sick for fucks. He's seen one team anymore.
team one too many movies.
Now, Sid, don't you blame the movies.
Movies don't create psychos.
Movies make psychos more creative.
Put the fucking lotion in the back.
It's an excellent day for an exorcism.
Hello, everyone.
Welcome to We Hate Movies.
Thank you for tuning in.
As always, that's right.
Oh, it's the Halloween, scary, spooky season, folks.
And we are talking about 1993's Neatful Things directed by You Didn't Guess It,
Fraser C. Heston. That's
right. Frazier? Fraser.
There's no I. It's a
Fraser. The end of Brendan Fraser.
Yeah, Brendan Fraser. But it's his first name
and he's the son of Charlton Heston.
It's terrifying. It's terrifying. Totally.
He played Baby Moses in Ten Commandments.
Is that right? Yeah. That's the first thing
on his Wikipedia page. What's you up to now?
Absolutely nothing.
Yes, I saw a stage adaptation
early on in Brendan Frazier's career and I was like,
boy, that guy's just got it.
I'm just going to call my kid after him.
My God, I can't make dinner to that.
I have to go see my son's spook story.
It's the big opening of his spook story.
Oh, wow.
I'm finally a father.
Now, let me see.
What's dumber sounding than Charlton for a name?
The C is probably, the middle name is probably Charlton, right?
I think it's Charles something.
I don't know.
He's fucking around with that.
He's taking it for a walk.
Speaking of it, take it for a walk.
Oh, no.
Press play real quick.
Oh, look at that.
Coming to. Just listen to it.
That is right. It's the VHS trailer games.
Didn't we just do this?
Yeah, a couple weeks ago. We do it every month.
You know, I was thinking about this. You know how they, I saw this going around the internet
recently, about how, like, feudalism, the peasants actually had more free time than we do now.
And that's how I feel under the tutelage of the Game King back then.
The deposed game, Game King and absentia.
The J. Master has returned.
This is like everyday corporate lifestyle.
the game king it was like we had to work for the harvest there was a lot at the end and that was
that uh yes this is the vhs trailer game america's favorite game about obsolete materials a game
that hollywood legend bruce turned once called a game that four simpletons can play at one time
that is right we are four simpleton we will play this at one time uh yes this is uh so right now
i'll catch you guys up on the season thus far uh andrew has died uh chris has
and apparently the squeakiest wheel
doesn't get any grease because Erica's zero points.
It's been done what? We did one way out.
I know. I know. I'm being a jerk.
So, here we go.
Didn't I get one of the
Woody Allen's right? It was a
winner-to-call situation. Yeah, when I get it
right, it's a winner-de-calling.
Yeah, thank you for that point that I got.
There is going to be
another lightning round here. I want to thank
Philippe Sabrero for doing our scoring as
always. It's a great job on everything.
Thank you. Thank you. Numbers, man.
This is from the internet ticket, I was wrong.
It's not like, it's not like Charles anything.
Fraser Clark has to do.
A rare Clark.
Named after my favorite bar.
I would be going by Clark then.
I'd be, I'd be one of those guys.
Like actually, my middle name is my actual name.
Charles, what do you want to name him?
Well, Fraser, of course.
Oh, uh, uh, he's looking around the room.
Snickers.
He sees the bending machine.
Doritos Heston.
Ah, yes.
Fraser, hers.
Hestin. I can't call
him much of McCallet. We can't do that.
Uttes potato chips.
Reesu butter fingers
Hest.
You got a game here? What's going on?
Drake's coffee cake
Heston. It's a little
long, but I guess we can put it on the
person. Really trying to squeeze it into that little
boxy got. It's a hostess pie
knocking down the
Drake's coffee cake, which got stuck in the
machine, Heston. I'm already going to stop.
Go to Milky Way.
Fraser out of order, Heston.
Here we go.
Call for service Heston.
All right, round one.
Okay.
This is also off the needful things VHS.
Nice.
What years at 93?
93.
That's, so the tape's probably coming out of 94.
Gotcha.
So, round one.
Game Master's Clue.
Look at that.
A relatively forgotten thriller with a Glenn Gary, Glenn Rosser.
menacing a movie president
and a Batman heroine in the medical
world.
It's a relatively forgotten thriller
with a Glenn Gary, Glenn Rosser.
That could be one of 50 people.
Exactly. Menacing a movie president
and a Batman heroine
in the medical world.
Oh, God, I feel like I kind
maybe got it, but oh no,
that's probably a couple years
later. I'm going to vote to kick.
Yes, I vote it. All righty.
Tribune trivia.
Aaron Sorkin wrote this film
which stars Nicole Kid with Chris Cabin
It's Malice
Which one is Malice?
It's Alec Baldwin
I believe I'm God
And I'm a real creepy medical guy
Oh I've never seen it
This could be an episode
It's a fucking weird movie
Oh wow okay
Weirdly enough in watching the trailer for Malice
He does
Because it's so sorkiddy
It's like Alec Baldwin in front of a medical board
He's like I do this
I do that and I've never ever sick
and see I'm like that's just the line from Charlie
Wilson's war and it is
amazing that you remembered a line from
Charlie Wilson's war
can you have points well okay
hold on it's the best
was it a Philip Seymour Hoffman
yes it is okay then yeah
excuse that comes into my feet
it's just him yelling at John Slattery
and break at his door it's a really
good scene that's Phillips Seymour Hoffman just
again like along Kim Pauli
you're knocking it out of the park you follow like a daily
quotes account
for Charlie Wilson's war
your daily Charlie
Hoffman archives
All I remember about that movie is that time
Chris Cabin put on a jacket and went
as Philip Hoffman's character from
that movie probably. He sure did. It's nice and cheap, isn't it?
Just in time for the spooktacular. Speaking of
Round two
Game Masters Clute.
Majestic. A previous
spookacular alert, a movie
we covered seven years ago, a schlocky
B horror movie that has
a hilarious number of animals
Puppets, menacing a breakfast
club, unlum.
Animal puppets,
spooktacular that we've done.
Okay.
Breakfast, somebody in the breakfast
club. Someone who's in the breakfast club.
And, yeah.
You said we did it seven years ago?
Seven years ago, tonight.
Tonight, not a late tonight.
A dark and stormy night.
Oh, man, I'm just fucking, I'm losing.
Silver bullet. It is not
silver bullets. Okay, cool.
Let's kick it.
trivia.
When Ray blow torch
Max's face, it was a fake doghead
that received the burns. So there you go.
They didn't blow torch a real dog.
Good for them.
Oh, shit.
I think I saw Eric.
Man's best friend. It is man's best friend.
Sorry. That was
like we were buzzing into the exact same time.
It was. It was a hard one. Should we split the points?
No, it's a, I think we'll be
all right. Now, for a little bit of a lightning
round. Okay. Don't
get up. It's a tribute to
Ed Harris.
This winner takes all again.
And Amy Madigan, too?
Exactly.
No, no, just Ed Harris.
Obviously, don't get up.
I'd reference to Ed Harris,
bravely not standing for Elya Kazan as well as his wife, Amy Madigan.
That was all.
I love that.
Just sitting down and let everybody else feel good about themselves while you feel
even better.
By the way, Amy Madigan was asked about this recently in an interview about weapons and
was like, no, yeah, I can't stand up for a person like that.
Good for you.
Just fucking carrying it.
The person with this fucking gotcha question
20 years too late?
Oh, do you feel bad?
No, of course not.
If it was a gotcha, she certainly didn't
act that way.
She was just like, no, yeah, of course I didn't.
How did they frame it?
Do you remember?
They were like, you and your husband,
Ed Harris, were known for not standing up at
like that was a big deal.
And she's like, do you still feel confident in that?
And she's like, oh, yeah, of course.
Yeah, see, that's what it was.
Yeah, do you still feel confident with that?
You maybe change your mind over the year?
to apologize. Well, I guess it's probably like,
hey, you might get nominated for an Oscar for weapons.
Do you want to, like, apologize?
You don't get nominated for. No. That'd be a great
golden glow. Golden Glove.
Yeah. That I can see.
Maybe a Saturn award.
So the way this is going to work
at the lightning round, actually, everyone's going to get a chance.
So, like, it's not a one to take all.
All right. So I'm going to ask each one
of you, I'm going to give you each five
movies. Ed Harris is in four out of
five of them. Pick the movie Ed Harris
is not in. Okay. It's Ed Harris.
in a lot of movies
is the point of this
and now the way
now but also if you're
if it's not your turn
listen in
because if that person
gets it wrong
the next
you could buzz in
okay two points
oh I see
and if let's say
if we know the one
that he's not in
yeah yeah yeah
you buzz in and like
then let's say it's Chris's
Andrew buzzes in
he tries for two
doesn't get it
Eric you can still buzz in
with one for a one point
kind of and I won't
but yeah
okay
here we go
round one

All right.
No problem there.
Not happening.
Five movies.
Man on a ledge.
Okay.
Wyatt Earp.
Stepmom, pain and gain, geostorm.
This is fucking hard.
It is.
Holy shit, Ed Harris is in these.
And Harris is in four out of five of these fuckers.
Four and five of them.
It's between two.
Fuck.
I'm just going to say pain and gain.
It is not pain and gain.
It is not Giorstrom.
It is not Giorstrom.
We did that.
Can I hear the question?
man on a ledge
Wyatt Earp
stepmom
pain and gain
and I know what it is
I'll say man on a ledge
it is not
it's white irp
he's not in
Wyatt Earp
you think he's
historical looking
that's exactly
totally
yeah I'm picturing
even a cowboy hat
right now
as a matter of
okay so here we go
what are you doing
on that ledge
get off the ledge
god damn it
radio
get off that ledge
yeah she's your
stepmom

All right, round two.
Yes, sir.
For Andrew.
Oh, yeah.
The thin red line, mother, top gun maverick, Nixon, and the hours.
Ed Harris did four of these motion pictures.
Top Gun Maverick.
It is not Top Gun Maverick.
What the fuck is Ed Harrison Top Gun Maverick?
Someone want to buzz in for the two points?
He's one of like the commanders.
Yeah, I'll buzz.
Do you hear the list again?
Thin Red Line, Mother, Top Gun Maverick, Nixon, and the Hours.
I'll say mother.
It is not mother.
Wow.
He's in mother.
Can you?
Thin red line, mother, top gun maverick, Nixon, and the hours.
I'm going to go with Nixon.
It is not Nixon.
He's not in the thin red line.
Everyone's in there.
He deleted it.
He's in there.
Totally.
Fuck food.
Find me the fucking Ed Harris cut of that piece of shit.
There's got to be a stinger scene.
Have you heard of the Philippines or whatever he shows up?
If someone can present evidence.
Next stop, Vietnam.
Yes, exactly.
You know, if someone could produce...
All aboard!
If anyone can produce evidence that Ed Harris is indeed in any cut of the thin red line,
everyone gets five points.
All aboard the train to Korea?
Here's the other question, though.
Which mother were you talking about?
Because isn't there the Albert Brooks movie?
Oh, yes, it was mother exclamation point.
So it was the Aaronowski.
I should have said mother exclaimed.
But is he in one of those?
Is he in the other one?
I don't think he's in any other one.
But I was like, wait, in which movie?
trick question. Mother exclamation
point. Another huge fucking cast in that
movie. Fuck, I should have known. Also, I mean
Nixon fucking. Here we go. Eric, Eric,
Ciscus. Okay, Eric. Shine here.
Yeah, shine.
Is Eric, Ed. Harris
is in four of these motion pictures.
Creep show. The right
stuff. Absolute power.
National Treasure Book of
Secrets. Okay. And shortcuts.
Oh, it's between.
I'm going to say absolute power.
It is not absolutely.
Andrew Jupin. Shortcuts.
It is shortcuts. You get two big points.
The only person to get points in this round
is Andrewman. Good job. Good one. It's a good one.
It's a year. It's a year.
It's happening in Cadillian. Okay.
No, I want that. Please, I need that.
All I want is for him to lose.
Him to lose.
There we go.
Eric, what you can do is go down to needful things
and buy a little racetrack and you'll know
all of the VHS trailer.
You buy a VHS that tells you
all the trailer games in advance.
you visper wishful
needful things. That's what this
fucking movie is. And you press the
horsey and then you hear
what it comes in. Ed Harris is
here, but he does not look
after his woman. So I am here.
Oh, dude. Take care of all of that.
Here's a question, though, before we get to
Ed Harris and
Bonnie Bedelia's cleavage in this movie, which
does have a supporting role. I think it gets the
hammer in the credits, actually.
Is this the most
unhinged slash greatest J.T. Walsh.
performance of all time. It's really good.
It elevates the movie for me. Because he
is just out of a whole other place. He's on 11
from the first season. Go get me
a fucking parking ticket. Oh, Jesus Christ.
It is. It might be because he's fucking
insane in this movie. I sell yes.
I will always shout out him
in Breakdown with Kurt Russell.
Amazing. Amazing.
Is he the villain in that movie? Yeah.
Evil Trucker. Blue Chips is a stay tuned
in a half. It's got an oldty and an amazing
J.T. Wall said it as well. I love
this guy. That's the one thing. It's just like
can we bring them back from the dead
is there something I know
he died at 54 years old dude
we were robbed of like
late in life J.T. Walsh
instead of de-aging actors for movies
you got to just superimpose an AI
J.T. Walsh in there just do that
just make it look better though
I don't want to creepy
we can't do that
I'm sorry you're asking too much
it's got to look like JT. Walsh
that's creepy that's not happening
a man I've got 19 fucking fingers
God damn it I'm an ATI JT Walsh
and my mouth isn't moving
properly. Remember the 80s?
They want you back. Do you see that fucking
creepy thing that the 80s wants you back?
What? What is that Ready Player 1?
No, no one saw this thing? It was an AI
thing going around. Because you're the only one
that looks at Twitter, dude. That's
why you know what all this AI bullshit is.
I have Twitter, but I somehow
have gotten the AI out of my
I don't have it on my timeline. What an achievement.
It is, well, it's a lot like I subscribe to
AI.com. People were big...
AI archives. Yes, but it was like this
creepy video. Charlie Wilson, more update
that AI
slash AI
we're using AI
to make bonus scenes
from Charlie Wilson's war
Sorry, go ahead
What was this?
No, it's just this video
where like
It's all these like
White kids in the 80s
Being like
Looking at the camera
Like they're all AI
They're totally fake
But they're like
You know look real enough
In the AI way
Like the 80s wants you back
We miss you here
We don't look at our phones
We just stay out all night
And watch cool movies
Hey remember being a baby
Yes
Don't you want to be a baby
Yes I do
But it's also like this weird, like, come on, kill yourself.
Come on, kill you.
All you got to do is cut your wrists, and the 80s will come right back.
Yeah, do you think when you die, because no one really knows, right?
No one's come back to complain.
But his name was Dracula.
I think it was Jesus.
That got a lot of complaints.
Are you going to just be a baby?
Like, you died, you become a baby again, and you're in the 80s.
Because now you have no worries or responsibilities.
And would you rather be a heavenly baby or a.
human in hell.
Anything that gets me out of here is going to be
pretty good. If I'm a heavenly
baby, can I still like drink and smoke weed
though? No, you're not the Roger Rabbit
baby. That'd be cool. Then I'm
sorry, then it's got to be an adult in hell.
Because what good is being an adult
and having a care for you, you know,
if you're a baby and having care for existence,
I can't fucking do anything. I can't drive
a car. You can have a lot of milk
and sugar. How about that? But here's the thing is
heaven doesn't want you and hell's afraid you'll
take over. I saw that on
a t-shirt.
Were you at a boardwalk in New Jersey?
Yeah.
Or we were using Castle Rock, Maine, possibly.
Is this supposed to be Maine?
It is.
Castle Rock, Maine.
This is Stephen King.
This is the town.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Dairy Maine, I'm aware of crash.
It's Maine in general.
It's, so, so Castle Rock, what other properties is this in for Stephen King?
I know there's their TV show.
It is, it's, it's stand by me, I believe.
Is that, right?
Dark half, I think, because, right, that's the right,
movie because Dark Half, which came out, there was an adaptation that came
out the same year as this, the Ed Harris character is
played by Michael Rooker. Oh, okay. Interesting. All right. The things
I've never seen this movie before yesterday. I never even
heard of this movie before, which is crazy.
Were you a big, like, King guy growing up? No, I mean, I watched...
The heavy hitters. Yeah, you know.
This is definitely a B-Squad. I never sought out, kid.
Right. Oh, he found you. Yes. Hey, Mother, did you hear this?
Fraser is directing an adaptation
of a book written by a king
What did she say?
The Dead Zone Kujo as well
Okay, okay, okay
I've seen Koojo, I've seen those movies
Castle Rock and Derry are like the two
Big Tays.
In high school I tried to read
The Dark Tower and I was like, this sucks
And that was that for me
I wonder if you'd like it now that was an adult
because you dig on fantasy stuff
And that stuff's way more, it's way more fantastical
I feel like I thought the world wasn't
fleshed out enough or something
I also didn't like his prose but
Yeah I mean that's the thing is it's an acquired taste
Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't
Were you into the movies in the 90s though?
Because I was like hardcore
If there was a King movie that came out
I was too scared
Oh right I forgot
Wasn't for him
So what about you Chris Gavin?
I didn't seek him out
When I saw stuff by him I liked it
Like I saw the shining but of course
That wasn't made then but I was like oh that's good
And then of course years later
I'm like oh he hates it why
And I saw the dark half, I think, in Theaters
And I really liked it
Because yeah, there's like that
There's like the Tommy Knockers
I've never seen the Langalears
I've never seen the Tommy Knackers
The Langalears is kind of trash
But it's like a really interesting
notion of like
What happens when you go back and die
Are those movies or those like seven hour TV events?
Langeliers and Tomaheers and Tommy Knackers
were TV things
And Tommy Knockers are like
some big old hooters.
I think the Badiolia's got some
Tommy knockers. No, I think the Tommy knockers
were like Glep-glops. I think it's an alien.
Oh, is that the bunch of little mouths that
Because those are the Langelears. They look like
clams. Oh, they try and eat you if you go back
in time or whatever. When you go back in time,
you see the concept of this Stephen King
thing, and then we'll talk about the real Stephen King story
we're supposed to be talking about. The Langaliers
presupposes when you go back in time,
you can't go back
and say, like, stop the JFK
assassination. There's nothing back
there because humanity's moved forward so there's just like nothing and then they come
along the langaliers you see and they eat the universe in the past so this plane goes through like a
wormhole accidentally goes back in time whoa they're like where is everybody why is all the food
rotten and then these terrible cg.i clams with teeth come out of nowhere and they start munch on
the scenery something i did yesterday is their food and they're shitting out my day yes data is their
food eric and the sequel is time shits is
great.
That is, if you're going to read a king book,
that's the one to read.
Time shit is phenomenal.
Oh, God, I ate 1988 last night.
Oh, it's too spicy.
Jesus.
Didn't he have like some JFK time travel book?
1122.
So did he just go against his own?
Is there a little, little gangliliers biting at his?
There's no universe.
It's a different story.
The thing is a guy's got 40,
this is a good place to start also.
Yeah.
He's got 44 million books.
And he does do like, I kind of like that from the other book.
I want to do that again in a different spin.
Because the beginning of this.
movie is very much
Salem's Lot. Is this
this car comes into town?
I also did not see. Sillams
Lott's great book. I've actually never watched the Toby Hooper
miniseries. Yeah.
And there was a new movie. The movie
sucked. A couple years ago. Lewis Pullman. Right.
Lewis Pullman. That's one of, you know, I think
one of the things Paramount Plus has become is like just the dumping ground
for when they realize they've had a bad idea for making
a movie. See also speaking
to Stephen King, that most recent,
in Pet Cemetery, Pet Cemetery, bloodlines
or whatever, which I watched just because
Double D, Dave Dukovine himself, was in the movie.
Of those Tommy Knockers.
Yeah, of those Tommy Nockers. Double D, dude.
It falls.
FBI.
And yeah, that was terrible, too.
But, yeah, so a little car comes into town
opens up a shop that everyone's very
mysterious about. Specifically, I think,
an antique shop in both stories, right?
Jesus. What a lazy son of a bitch?
I don't know. Christ, I got a whole novel
doing it.
It's another spook.
antique show.
All right.
How about this?
It's not run by a vampire this time.
Ah, the devil?
Yeah.
Who's a, who's a vampire's boss?
Oh, the devil, okay.
Who's a vampire's boss?
How about?
He's a devil that comes in from the Dark Tower universe and comes into our universe.
Jesus.
And then the gunslinger's gonna get him or something.
That's spooky, man.
But yes, I like the...
Very Beetlejuice opening.
So Beatlejuice.
Even the scores a little...
I was waiting for Alec Baldwin's hand to be like, all right.
Exactly.
Oh, here we go.
That's in my notes, too.
I couldn't believe how...
I have my bottle of Castle Rock.
It looks awesome.
I watched them like side by side afterwards.
Oh, did you really?
This is like the same fucking thing.
They just added a lighthouse for Castle Rock.
It's pretty much it.
Listen, Tim, it's Chuck Heston.
My son's going to steal your opening and you're not going to do a damn thing about it.
Who is this?
Oh, yeah.
I'm going to get back at you by remaking Planet of the Apes.
Oh, yeah, that'll teach it.
And you know what?
You're going to be in it, you cash strap.
Fucker. I got a dress. You have like
a fucking monkey asshole. How about that?
It'll be worse than your version, but
it will make more money, you oh
fuck. Fraser, I'm in a
monkey suit now and it's all your
fault. I stick up
for you once and this is what happens.
I should have named you out of service.
He's right there.
You know that the devil
is in this nice, fancy
car here because he's
blaring opera music as he comes
into town. That's the devil's favorite.
Black Mercedes, another thing the devil loves.
Yeah, dude, right out of Hitler's garage, this fucking car.
There is a, later in the film, there is a Luftwaffe Nazi cap in the background of one of these.
Oh, really?
I'm like, oh, that's not for sale.
That's part of my personal collection.
I'm going to say, what did Stephen Miller come to tell that thing?
What do you really want, Stephen?
What do you think about all night?
I just desperately want someone to love me.
Why don't you put this on your enormous melon head?
You know, it'll look cool like a natchie.
My goodness, sir, you look like a penis head with a mouth attached to it.
Ridiculous.
By the way, is it true that your wife is stooping Elon?
Is that right?
Oh, okay.
So, yeah, we meet Amanda Plummer right here is Nettie.
She's working at the diners, spying out the window.
Plummer with the hammer, by the way, and Amanda Plummer.
Absolutely.
She's the only one doing this main accent.
It's a little too much, as most Amanda Plummer things are.
I love her.
She's just bringing the right energy.
to this movie. She absolutely is.
I think she fits into this cookie
universe like totally fine but this
is a weird thing where like some
people in this movie are doing it and some
people are not and when you are dealing with
a story where it's like
some people have to have the con get
there from here accent like
either everybody's at least trying a little
bit or nobody's
doing it. I mean there's so many characters
in this that I wish they whittled it down. I feel like this is
I understand I can see the book pages
as well watching this movie.
And I don't know,
they focused on Plummer and this
rivalry with the fucking turkey farmer.
Oh, those pig people.
It's a classic problem with King, though.
Like, the stand has too many characters
and they've tried to adapt that three times
every time it's been a disaster
because they can't wrangle it.
They don't know how to do it.
Can they just do one with the whoopster?
Yeah, with Alistanda Scarsgard's Captain Tripp.
Just cut shit out.
Make Stephen King hate your movie.
It works for the shining.
Yeah, exactly.
Do your best to produce an ad,
adaptation that Stephen King will hate, and you may just have a masterpiece on your hand.
It's mediocre. I love it.
But yeah, so, dude, what is going on here with fucking Ed Harris just scaring her for no reason?
Like, the start of this is like, he just comes into, blah!
And just like yells from behind.
And like, she also, of course, like she's a, she's clearly an unstable character.
We learn a little bit of her past history or whatever.
You can't just be yelling behind people like this.
They'll turn around to kill you.
She murdered her husband.
I mean, not murdered.
She's in self-defense, it seems.
That's when you get
I feel like too much of these
backstory of these book characters
is seeing a flashback of that guy for a second
Yeah, but I don't need that guy. Yeah, this weird
Like when you touch the object you see
like into the past either your personal
past or baseball's past
Him breaking all those little
like figurines and yelling
You moron! That is wife
Break and by the way those are
female action figures. It's those little
Hummles. Hummills are female action
figures. I think I should have moved to Doggville
where that shit also works.
They love it there.
But we learned that, of course, Ed Harris,
he's Sheriff Alan Pangborn here,
and he's going to ask
Bonnie Badelea's character, Polly,
to marry him after long, fucking last.
It's going to be two people
in the late 40s getting married.
Well, I mean, it's like, the sun is setting
on the last of this hair, so he's
just got to, he's got to get married
before. I need it for the wedding photos.
Dude, I'm looking at him in this movie,
And all I can think about is when
Elaine's dating John Michael
Higgins. Oh, yes. And he realizes
he's ball in, George comes in to give the advice, and he's
like, you got 14 months.
It's 15 of your lucky, whatever it is. I'm looking
at that, Ed Harrison. I was like, cherish it.
Here it is. Cherish it. Exactly. Oh, crap. I took a shower
this morning and half a fucking fell out.
I got to get married today.
I should have probably married my room
when I had a full head of hair and I was banging
her. But I guess it's
got to be you, but Delia.
Don't, I mean, like,
yeah, it's clearly like they've been
dating forever and like she's just like not expecting at this point like they've probably moved had
that argument we're going to be partners you definitely can be you can tell that though because when
he sits down at the diner counter and he's like uh hey polly you uh want to get married and she's
like yeah whenever you're ready to do that you know whatever the her response is it's a like
we've been down this road before you don't want to do it but how about some fucking romance if
that's the kid like even more so if it's like you're not like a young kid surprising your young
bride like treat this lady
nice little dinner and be like
and here is the right she's working
give me fucking eggs and don't make him ready
by the way marry me or whatever
is there another restaurant in this town
though? I don't know
that's true oh he should have had her
cook a nice dinner for him
ordered two entrees be like sit down
you're getting married you made this
do you have a dessert other than pie that I could
put a ring in through you got a ganache or something
I can use oh this town doesn't know the word
ganache maybe they waited because
It's like it would be a firestorm if you pick the Catholics or the reverend.
Who are you going to pick?
That's a good point.
Let that go.
Yeah, I'll have a table for two.
You're going to sit with me and also don't tell you, but I'm going to get engaged to my partner.
Who's you?
Take this ring and put it in the pie.
No reason.
But don't tell you about it.
We see the sign.
Oh, she's choking.
Oh, no, she's joking.
We see the sign across the street and says,
Needful things.
A new kind of store.
want to believe your eyes.
Jevelish tricks and many, many gifts.
I do think this movie is not very good.
It definitely can be whittled down.
The performances make it watchable.
And it's actually a pretty clean directing style.
It's not very well directed, but it's like adequate.
Well, that's the TV movie.
Go-to.
Just get it done.
Get nice and clean.
That's what it feels like.
It feels like a TV movie.
I didn't...
A to B to C and let's go home.
I didn't grow up with it.
I didn't really like it.
I get why people do because there are...
There's stuff to sink your teeth and do
with these characters with like you know j t walsh and like stephen king to me is the last
fucking author you would want for that kind of movie it's amazing to me that i i know it was because
he was the biggest for what a devil movie for a tv movie oh yeah yeah i'm like these are worlds
that need like big expressionistic idea like it needs money it does like it does need that kind
of thing and that there were so fucking many of these things made for tv i'm like
none of them work you answered your own question because it's the leg that's always the
it is way too long it's and he won't he won't fucking
let you cut it. He will not let you fucking
cut that shit. Cut out tons of characters,
cut out entire plots. Yes.
He won't allow it. Big books have been adapted to the movies
before to great success. You know what I mean?
You can do that. You can do it.
Dead Sun was mentioned earlier. That's a great
movie. That's a great movie. Another
decent TV movie
and you got to take it from like
source material to the movie
and not think about the Kubrick.
But that Stephen Weber's Shining adaptation
isn't terrible. It's him
Rebecca DeMourney. Like it's actually not
I remember being whatever.
I remember not like it, but that was a long time ago.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I watched it when it came out.
I was a dumb kid.
But Max von Sito is great here.
He looks like Walt Disney a little bit with this mustache.
Sure, yes.
Well, you know, that dude was in league with Satan.
He had the evil rotten teeth as well.
I don't know about Waltz of later years.
I do like, yeah, so Max Monsanto is the devil or a demon.
And he looks like Max Monsato with a mustache.
But then when he's writing his evil book, he gets like his,
nails grow like saber tooth and like
his teeth get rotten. He's got like gross
hands and then I think is
there is there a contacts situation
possibly? I thought there was one
shot of him when he was like I'm writing in my
little ledger about who I own
soul wise and like really
it looked like he had like a
Darth mall contact
I bought these contacts from West Borland
from Lipa Biscuit
they are white with little black
eyelids and be careful
once you come into my store needful
things. Be sure not to break stuff.
No, Wesh, I'm saying you ripped me off. Nobody noticed
I had a catch eye. Nobody.
You fuck. You ripped me off.
Who is this?
That's just he said, she said bullshit.
Go find a $3 bill, y'all.
Oh, yes. First person in there is Brian Ruskin.
Little Brian, wearing a Yankees cap at a Stephen King book. You know this kid's toes.
First of all, wearing a Yankees cap in Maine, this kid would be murdered on the side of the road.
so funny because it's like just
find a famous
Red Sox player and
do this same thing but the fact that it's
got to be Mickey Man and I'm like yeah
this kid would be fucking run out of town on a rail
he would get the fucking doctor sleep that
Jacob Trembly gives that's what they
would be doing with him just for wearing that hat
just suck his soul right out of his body
yes I mean that's the suggestion he's already spiritually
dead clearly and this is just finishing
the job what's happening I'll tell you what he must
be spiritually dead because he does not clap back at this
old lady and tell her to mind her
fucking business. This kid
pulls up on his little bike and he gets off the
bike and this old lady's just walking down the
street out of nowhere. Aren't you supposed to
be in school? I'd be like, aren't you supposed
to shut the fuck off? What are you just
do you just see a kid on the street
aren't you supposed to be in school? What business is? You know what
that is? It's like the skateboarding.
He skid stopped and she was
like, how dare you?
I mean, I wish I had
the swagger of this old lady to say
something like that, you know? Because like
some young kids walk by my house, you
And they went, hey, mister.
And I was like, ah, and I run inside.
They said, hey, mister.
They said, hey, mister at me the other day.
Oh, that's trouble.
They're coming to get me, mother.
They're coming to get me finally.
They stood outside my house for a few minutes to show their power play.
That's what they did.
One of them picked up a rock, and he was going to throw it at me.
I just know it.
It's weird that this store is a house.
Yeah.
And I've just got an apartment upstairs that I live in.
Well, I mean, it's kind of like a funeral home situation.
The fact is Brian Ruskin leaves this encounter only losing
his soul is pretty, he's pretty lucky.
Let me, oh, you want to, I have lots
of toys here, Brian. What do you want?
You want to Air Jordans? I've got
them in the back. Take your shirt off.
Here's what you have to do to get these big, cool
sneakers.
But no, it's, he's a baseball
kid, and it's like, whatever,
he's trying to feel. You like playing with balls,
don't you? You're a baseball
kid, yeah, yeah, yeah, look
at this giant bat I have.
Oh, no. From Akron, Ohio.
That is hilarious.
when everyone's like, where are you from, sir?
Oh, I'm from Akron, Ohio, originally.
Uh-huh.
And before that, and before the war.
The one castle in Akron, Ohio.
I came over on a paper clip, if you know, if you catch my meeting.
This kid playing Brian Ruskin is hilarious because, like, he's a tiny guy, young kid, not very tall or anything like that.
But he's got the deepest goddamn, anybody here? Is this store open?
Hey, is this, are you in business yet?
Well, you know, he's smoking probably by.
then. So what I want you to do is do
an Ed Harris impression
so that when you two talk to each other, it really
you know, are you making fun of me?
No, I promise, I'm not.
You know, I always wanted a Mickey Mail card.
Yeah, he wants a Mickey Mantle card.
He's like, oh, I just have
exactly, he's like, tops or flea. Like, he's really like
what, I can you spell it out for me?
Yeah. And it's got, here's the
problem with this card that this kid's selling a
soul for. It's great baseball card,
rookie card, or whatever the fuck it is. And it's
signed to Brian. That decreases
is the value, Brian.
To mine good friend, Brian.
Yes, a Mickey Mantle signed it.
It's like bumper stickers on a car you're trying to sell.
It just fucks it up.
Quick question, Brian. Is it with a wire and I?
Mickey Mantle needs to know.
Yeah, I would really call into question that signature.
Exactly.
This is so funny to me because like this is the devil, man.
And he knows full well he's going to fuck to pick this kid's soul and make a bad deal out of it.
But he also bilks him out of the 90s.
He's got this pocket, and he's like,
now, yes, I'm going to take your soul,
but also how many pennies do you have in your pocket?
I'd like those as well.
I think that's for the tax man, if he ever shows up, you know what I mean?
Oh, no, it's all legal above board, 95 cents for the card.
It's the only guy they can beat the devil.
Oh, hello there, Mr. IRS agent.
What is it?
Oh, you always wanted to be a famous movie star.
Well, right this way.
Oh, you always wanted to be a wrestler.
How about Irwin?
What was Erwin R. Schuyster?
Oh, yes.
Excellent.
IRS professional wrestler.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, remember that.
Good ref.
Yeah, so he sells with this card.
And then we see he's got his little ledger here.
We've got forced lightning every time you touch up.
Oh, yeah, that's always fun.
You get a little zapped.
I can't forget that.
That's just because I'm walking around with my shock shot in the house.
Oh, yes, it's just the static electricity in this old house.
Exactly.
I rub my little feet, my besocked feet on the carpet.
I just get cold down there.
I have to have them on.
But yes, he's got the ledger.
He's got the ledger and it's empty and he writes
Castle Rock and he writes Brian.
Got that name in there.
If IMDB is to believe
there is a shot
right when he's doing that
or maybe he's later he's flipping through
there's Nelson Mandela's
name is in there for some reason?
I don't know what.
He sold his soul to get out of jail?
Is that what we're saying?
Okay, Fraser.
One fun Easter egg
you can put in your mood.
All right.
say that Nelson Mandela
was in league with Satan.
I have a presidency of Free
South Africa for you. Is that what you really
want, Nelson Mandela? That
is insane. Are you, now, are you
sure that's in there, or is this just something
you're misremembering? No, it's IMDB.
Oh, I didn't know, Madela thing.
He got you.
We cut to, this is we cut to
the J.T. Walsh freak out. He's literally
screaming at this little deputy
because he got a fucking parking ticket
and he's like, I do so much for this town.
I raise all this money.
I sell fucking boats down by the goddamn marina.
Oh, it is Monday.
He's here, isn't he?
Dude,
this epic argument between J.T. Walsh and that deputy.
No, Deputy Norris.
It gets so good when he's just like,
I don't have to take this from a used car salesman.
Boat shithead.
I sell premium quality yachts, I said.
Boats shithead is a great.
The actor playing the deputies, Ray McKinnon,
kind of a proto-adam driver.
I don't know, like, he just, I just feel like.
Really?
I don't know.
Oh, weird.
I mean, I just...
It's a tall guy
with a protruding Adam...
You can just say
he's a weird face.
He's in a Cohen brother's movie.
Yeah, you don't need to guss it up
by saying proto Adam Driver.
Yeah, he's in a...
He's just weird.
He's in a Cohen's movie.
That's it.
Like, I'm Driver, too.
Like, which...
Oh, he's an O'Brother.
Oh, he's the guy who marries...
Oh, yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
He's the guy that's like...
Yeah, he's bona fide.
He's bona fide.
That's another one and done.
I gotta go back to that one.
oh that's an amazing movie um so amanda plumber around here oh no sorry we didn't finish the whole thing about screaming about uh shithead or whatever and ed harris has to scream at the both of them and he's like he's kind of like a chief brodie situation yes i didn't leave the big city to deal with your fucking screaming matches it's just amazing the big city by the way come on now of course if you live in main and someone says i left the big city of course that's pittsburgh pennsylvania yeah come on now uh as far as i've
fucking could, which is made.
But it's kind of amazing because
J.T. Walsh is on 11, and you're like, oh, wow, that's J.T. Walsh in this movie.
And Ed Harris, in the first scene, he's like,
oh, I'm kind of a nervous
45-year-old fiancée.
And then, like, he comes in, and he's on
fucking 12. He's like, God damn it,
everyone's fucking crazy in his town.
It's fucking awesome. And this is, like,
just a little bit of what you were going to get at the end of this movie.
In where, dear listener,
Ed Harris defeats the devil by screaming in the street.
Yeah.
It's so awesome.
Awesome. The power of this man's vocal cords defeat Satan.
Well, that's the story of the movies.
Like, you have to learn to go to 11.
Like, anytime Ed Harris is around J.T. Wall, she has to go back out to 11.
You got to meet him.
And you have to go there to beat Max Fond Saito, who is always at a four.
And, like, just killing you at a four.
Like, destroying your fucking world out of four.
So Amanda Plummer is going over from the diner to...
The Welcome Pie.
Deliver a Welcome Apple Pie.
The Apple Pie is, like, their big, famous dish, whatever.
And while she's trying to go over there,
this hick turkey fucker lady starts screaming at her about the dog
threatens to kill this dog in the middle of the street real gremlin's-esque lady this one
oh my god kill your dog that lady just died recently isn't she the evil uh principal from uncle buck
possibly all i've looked that up i have no i kept thinking she was in a signfeld episode she does
look so familiar and i was do we see much of this dog in this movie not much no i feel like we don't
see it at all in the tv cut you do see
a lot of it. I will say that. And I'm just like what
this whole argument over this dog I've never
see until. She like
she brings it around. I think she brings it
to she brings it to the store.
But this is where the lady. See it like
going after the turkeys. I should see some
to be fair to you, Eric.
They not even the TV cut do they
go into that. They never explain what the
fuck their problem is. It's just some pre-existing
small town beef. Yes.
Is the idea. Not a huge career. A lot of voice stuff
from this actress. Oh, I think you were looking at the
dog. A lot of voice
acting from the dog.
His best friend, too?
Oh, my God.
She was in nothing but trouble.
And who's Harry Crum?
Who's Harry Crum?
I was thinking, yeah.
She's a candy hangar on?
One of those classic candy hanger on.
You know those crews.
I'm a candy hanger on, man.
What do you got some gummies, little chocolate bar?
Hang on wherever candy you go.
Oh, a Clark bar.
That sounds delicious.
What?
That went on the birth certificate?
But so he comes.
And also, by the way, everyone said the stories, oh, I didn't think another soul would fit in here.
Don't mind me, I'm not the devil.
There are so many gags where it could be like, oops, devil joke.
And the best thing about needful things, and it pops up a couple times, he went to the trouble, the devil did, to make branded gift bags for when your thing goes out.
I want people walking around the stove.
Where'd you get that cool, cursed item?
Needful things.
Absolutely.
We're launching some merch.
It's going to be some hoon.
about a coffee mug for all your coffee drinks.
I'm a king of darkness, but also the king of branding.
Hello.
Well, dude, he's a marketing genius, the devil.
It's a nice tote bag.
The tote bag will not cost you or your store.
The item inside of it, you understand.
That's just good marketing.
Next week you get the water bottles and they are beautiful.
They have the little flip caps.
And I made this next piece of merger just because I like saying it.
Would you like a needful thing?
Carabina.
So when someone asked you, where the devil did you get that?
get that you say needful things
so she sees this hummel and she's like
I used to have this homel, isn't that
crazy? Yeah, and Boncido
he starts doing this thing where
it's like he's giving personal
information that there's no way he would know
you know like oh yeah well
your husband's murder of course
that you definitely had nothing to do it
is that right? Yes indeed it wasn't you
who took the knife from the door
and cut your husband's throat and like
at no point is any this is like one of five
times he does this to a character in this movie and at no point is anyone like well how the hell
did you know that yeah exactly or like hey man what was that forced lightning it felt like brimstone
it's creeped me out did she kill the husband yes it's like a domestic violence thing then doesn't she
go to hell anyway should there be like a guy that's so evil in this town that is just like
invulnerable i'm gonna tell you this eric it's because she only killed that one guy and it's
we all get one and it's all justified if she was the axe murderer from so i married an axe murderer he would
not touch her. She would be fine.
That'd be awesome. Self-defense. It depends upon
what side of the ball Amanda Plummer's
character is on in this town. Is she a
Catholic or is she a Baptist? Because if she's a
Catholic, dude, that deathbed
last right. Fucking clears
the slate. Clears the slate, dude.
It's why it's the number one
religion, baby, number one.
Total game genie shit on your deathbed.
I love that. I love that.
I won't yell at you like your George did.
We missed one part with Brian, which
he does here too, which is also
it's going to get me out of the store so quickly
if I'm oh wow this is exactly what I want
it's my needful thing how do you how would you
have it weird that you know so much about my life
and yes it'll be ten dollars
and I also need you to play a little
prank on someone
exactly I don't know what prank means
in your context
don't worry Brian it's all crisscross
they'll never trace it back to you
I know Christopher the original
cut of the magnificent Ambersons
is right here for you
plus a prank
fuck off get out of my face
Wait, so in this scenario, he's offering the 10-year-old boy, the extended cut of the Magnifican Amos?
He's offering me.
Oh, I see.
Oh, Chris Cabin.
An easy mark in need for things.
And yes, I, the devil, do have Orson Wells' this whole catalog.
She does, she touches the Hummel, and she gets a little force lightning.
And this is the flashback of the hubs and freaking out and smashing this, you know, row of hummills or whatever.
And this guy's looking rough.
Like, oh, what a pig.
yeah yeah totally long dead in this world oh okay oh she killed the actor two problems
oh that i don't know i don't know who played this guy in the two-second flashback might be an
uncredited stuntman or something but he even like knows oh george i used to yell at you i'd be like
yeah dude i'm good and i'm certainly not doing whatever i know a prank means to me sticking a finger
up your ass or whatever it's not in my business and they see i think it's around here either
j t waltz comes into the store
Or they see him screaming in the street or whatever, and he's like, oh, by the way, enjoys your Hummel, but perhaps someone should play a trick on Buster.
Because this guy's like, whatever Keaton is his, Dan Keaton is this guy's name. They call him Buster.
This is this clickety-clack, Stephen Kingie, like everyone's called.
Because even in the first season, it's like, don't call me Buster.
And I'm like, I don't get that.
And then later it's explained, it's like, oh, Buster Keaton.
Oh, yeah, exactly. It's like a fart kind of a thing.
It's like spelled different.
Can't give me a flash.
Don't you call me a comedic genius?
What the fuck's your problem?
Flashback of someone saying Buster for the first time as their kids or something?
Why not?
If you're going flashback heavy, I don't want it.
Sure.
But I don't like this.
But so we see the first prank that has to be pulled here.
Brian goes out to this turkey farm and just scoops a bunch of turkey shit into a bucket
and then starts spreading it all over their laundry.
I will admit, this is a genuine prank.
After this.
it's not pranks.
It's like,
Ha ha, ha, skinned your dog,
Tony Prank.
I was going to say,
fucking why.
It's a joke.
Let me destroy your whole house
with Granny Smith apples.
I'm sorry your dog's dead,
but I was just joking.
Well, pranksters,
I have no,
no time in my life for pranks.
Anyone on April Fool's Day is a fucking jerk.
Totally.
I got no time for pranks.
You're a terrorist.
Remember a thousand years ago
when someone reached out to us,
they were like,
we want to film you guys doing
pranking people in the streets in New York
and we were like, get fuck.
No. Not in a million years. I'll turn
down that TV show. Thank you.
Because like, pranks just suck. People
who do pranks. You're like, even like
George Clooney's a notorious
prankster. I'm like, that sucks.
Yeah, you know what his pranks are though? Like, you walk
into this room and you're like, oh, the last
time I was in this trailer, there wasn't a
$6,000 in espresso machine.
Cool prank, George. You got
me good, buddy. I said I hated
limoncello and there's 20 fucking bottles.
love it in my room oh that prankster hey hey george it's uh robert danny junior yeah we're on the set
of uh good night and good luck the movie not the play yeah hi uh just skin my dog
no that's a dude i only give uh like rich people pranks that sounds like some stevie
kinks you buddies check it out or jared leto call him up uh but yeah the turkey shit this lady
it's kind of amazing she comes great turkey acting in this movie a lot of turkeys a lot of
Turkey footage, a lot of good fun
footage of turkeys. They looked realistic.
They did. They looked realistic in their
parts, yeah. And then
like this lady's like, oh, I'm going to make turkey
for dinner because I'm a crazy old lady
that loves killing turkeys. And she just
walks face first into, even
if it was clean laundry, like
moving or, like she just walks in until she gets
completely douched with turkey shit.
Yeah. And you're bringing up
an annoyance I have with this movie.
This movie is so chopped to
shit that like the part I just
talking about the shit slinging is where
we are in the movie. And then what you just
talked about is like 35 minutes
from now. I'm sure. Like it's just so
like we're going to go here for two seconds. Then we're going
over here for two seconds. Then we're going to back over here. And I'm like
you gotta have some scenes
here, man. Let's stay in the same
fucking place. Just focus on
Ed Harris doing the police work of
the police prank or whatever.
This is a thing where like, following the trail of everything.
If you're reading this, you know, you're going
along, you're reading this in a book. It pops
around. It's easier.
than if you're trying to do this while you're watching a movie
it just feels caught up as shit
you know it's so crazy but yeah
so Ed Harris finally comes
into the store this is the meeting of the minds or whatever
and he's like
oh hello there what would you like
and this is like right away you can tell like
von Sido as the devil is like
oh he will be a formidable opponent
because he's like uh I got everything I need
I don't need shit and he's just like
what is this
because if I went into a store and somebody like
also these small town stores
you walk in the guys all over you
immediately I hate that shit
I hate that too
because that and I would probably
like I got everything I need because
I don't want your fucking candle or whatever
if I go in a needful thing
I'm expecting a candle
How about just browsing asshole
Okay
You know
Wow he's battling wits with Eric Siska
He can steal his soul
Are you sure? Are you browsing?
I guess I'm an asshole
Because he doesn't just do it at the store
Right it is at like when he's having
lunch with someone he's like
What do you
really want from life. What do you really
need? And I'm like, dude, that's creepy shit.
Just why don't you mind your own business?
You and the old lady mind your own business. Stop asking
me what I need. How was your day?
You weirdo. How about that? Let's start with that.
Seen any good movies lately? What's on TV? Let's start
there. Somebody to sell here. Fudge,
candles. What do we got?
What you want? What you really, really
want. Sorry, I just saw spice world.
I've on my, I've mama,
I've Wama, I've only, really, really want a second.
Actually, I'm a bigger two
becomes one fan but it's a good song it's all a good song i need some love like i never
needed love before gonna make love to your baby had a little love now i'm back for more gonna make
love to you ask beautiful things at like 2 a.m that thing's just blasting out of there that's what
you should be pushing on everyone it's like you want the spice girl yes yes oh victoria
beckham actually wanted a soccer player and i got her one
The greatest soccer player in the world.
You get the whole catalog of the Spice Girls, and then you skin a dog.
As you prank.
As your prank that you do to your friend.
You can have the theatrical rights to Spice World Emotion Pictures.
Just kill this dog.
But yeah, so he kind of, this is with, like, I'm from Akron.
This is where you don't start, this is why you don't start talking people in the store,
because the next thing you know, you're having pie with this guy in the back row.
Oh, I could just a piece of cheddar cheese.
Oh.
I know he just moved to town
so the question comes up
but like everyone grilling you
and where are you from?
Where are you sound weird?
Where are you sound weird?
Where are you from?
Your weird sounding weirdo.
Why don't you record yourself
and listen back?
Everyone sounds like this.
Another weird question is asked
there's two dudes
the reverend played by the dude
from the X-Files and it's been peaks.
Oh yes, done, whatever.
great actor general in the Twin Peaks
they're Bobby's father whatever yes
and then another actually weirdly
another uh
lynch actor from Wild at Heart
this old Irish guy
his name oh who's he in Wild at Heart
I think he's like one of the hitman or something like that
oh okay
fuck yeah these guys are great though he's playing the father
and they have a rivalry about like
because I believe the reverend's like you're not one of them
Catholics are you and he's like Jesus Christ
I just got into town these are these are rude questions
The old Catholic is William Morgan Shepard, and the Reverend Rose is Don S. Davis.
Yes. And the Reverend, the Baptist Reverend, is pissed off because the priest is trying to put up flyers around needful things, advertising that the church is having a casino night, which is something churches do all the time.
Yeah. And I mean, it says right there that all the proceeds, it's all charity. It's not actual. It's not, but, you know, the Baptists, they're really dementia.
in their ideology and think that like even just having a fun night that's for charity is sinful
no fun that's the thing with baptists they don't like fun they like hate they do they'll
they'll fucking bring out a guitar and think that's fun an acoustic number and start doing their whole
thing i gave my love the chicken i'd rather some guy in a dress sing latin at me sorry
true uh but so then we we bounce back to the turkey farm this is wilma gets coverage it this husband
of hers kind of looks like zach woods yeah he does a little bit of like zach wood
was in like old man makeup by the way
Zach Wood's fucking thing about the
Riyadh comedy festival is one of the funniest
fucking videos you'll see. He's been killing it on the
Instagram. So funny. But so
naturally and this is von Seydow's
plan here. Wilma gets covered in all this
turkey shit. She thinks that Amanda Plummer
is the one that was slinging said shit
and I'm going to kill that fucking dog.
Yeah, she goes into the
diner the next day and she like throws
the sugar bowl at her or whatever. I know
what you did, you fucking
bitch. I'm trying to eat eggs.
here. What's going on? Who's the fucking bitch
at 9 o'clock in the morning? And they're just
like, just order your food. It's okay.
Oh, she calls. No, she calls.
It's on the phone. Oh, that's right. There's
a couple things. Yeah, she calls versus, I know what you
did, you bitch. Because she's covered in shit.
Yes. Yeah. He's a good doggy.
You won't see me coming.
Yeah. And then the next day you have the diner, she
throws the sugar bowl at her. It's like, it's all
fucking relax. Oh, look at the fucking sugar on the
floor. This dinah's going to get fucking ants
now. Did you think about that? There's
fucking ants now. And
Okay, I'll tell you what I want
I want you to get rid of the ants
I can't fucking stand them
Please I sell my soul I need to get rid of the ants
My plan is working perfectly to give the people all ants
How devilish
Needful things
You'll need an infestation of ants
Now it's like needful thing slash terminax
Now Brian when you throw the apple through the window
Hit the sugar bowl
Make sure you hit the sugar bowl
But one thing we didn't say
it's a nothing scene
it's like him trying
von Sido going to the diner after hours
Polly played by Bonnie Bedelia
is working there
this is what he's like oh what would you like
and then she's like oh you scared me
I thought we were about to close like
oh can I just have a cup of coffee
and then he's like do you have anything in the way
of a donut something I could possibly
dunk it's always you know
oh you're just closed well it's just a coffee
and now it's a fucking donut now it's a turkey leg
and now it's going to be this
So, yeah, he's harassing her at that diner, which is actually, see, again, this is the editing, dude, it's way later in the movie.
But this is, uh, another thing around here is the, the bar.
We learn about the relationship between the, the town drunkard and the bartender and the shitty jukebox with the achy, breaky heart.
Dude, you can tell this was made in 1992.
I'd kick this fucking jukebox, too.
If you are, have the gall to be playing achy breaky heart and it starts skipping, which means I have to listen to more of it.
Yep.
I'm kicking your jukebox.
And it's at the achy-achey parts.
Exactly.
My God.
So what's his character's name?
This drunkard's Hugh.
Hugh Priest?
Yes.
Hugh Priest, I'm sorry.
Take two on that name.
Yeah.
You got three priests in this movie now.
Thank you.
It's confusing because sometimes like, oh, Hugh Priest.
They're like, which priest?
Yeah, exactly.
Just changed the, like, price or something.
I thought you were saying huge priest.
I guess it would be the Baptist one, right?
He's the bigger guy.
Is that a fall song?
Oh, maybe.
Also, we learned J.T. Walsh has a gambling problem because he's at the bar and he's like,
It's a weird, I'm at the bar because I'm watching nighttime horse racing.
Real degenerate shit, man.
You're watching this stuff once the sun goes down.
Degenerate time.
You also get a little bit of his, like, paranoia.
He's like the fucking mirrors.
First that they put the mirrors in, and then there's a two-way mirror,
and you're like, what are you talking?
That's a weird thing.
He can't just be, like, angry guy.
Like, part of the character is he's this paranoia, dude.
Yeah.
But I got to figure out, like, what spurred is.
The origin of course, of course, the book, there's probably 30 pages devoted to it.
And what happened to this?
I would cut it out, just make him a degenerate gambler.
Yeah, or it's a weird character because the way he behaves all over the place is like,
you met the devil first, right?
You met him like two weeks ago?
Yeah, exactly.
He was the one who recommended that he come to Castle Rock.
That could be a thing.
He could have been a real estate broker for him.
Yes, yeah, totally.
He can't make a sale and finally the devil comes in.
Oh, you need a commission, do you?
And he's like a Renfield then.
Oh, yes.
I just assume that everybody in this
incredibly small main town would want a yacht.
I just don't understand this.
Well, how could this possibly be?
Yes, a lovely turkey shit for him.
Would you like a luxury yacht?
Oh, yeah, you sell pies and cups of coffee for five cents a pop,
would you love this luxury yacht?
Maybe you should be doing used cars.
Yeah, maybe go back.
Yeah, seriously.
Stop trying to get the Baptist to buy a yacht, maybe.
Because I don't even see a marina in this town.
We go to the lighthouse, and there's nothing.
around there. It's all just craggly rocks
and whatnot. Where are all these yachts you're
selling? Not meant? That's why he's so in
debt. So Hugh Priest
the town drunk gets kicked out for kicking the jukebox.
This guy's like the town
Al Bundy in a way. Oh, it's so sad.
They kick him out and he's like drunkenly
stumbling down the store and then right in the window
there's his letterman jacket from high school.
Al Bundy kept that shit. He did
he had the fucking foresight to be like, I'm going to want
this. My life is going to go down the shitter.
Hold on to this brief dream of mine.
This guy couldn't even do that.
such a sad moment. I mean, it's that's
hilarious. He grabs the jacket
and it's just like, oh, that was the best day
of my life. And it's hit with the jacket and he's like
drinking and driving. That was
the height was me drinking
and driving, maybe hooking up with a chick
right afterwards. It's so sad because it's so
specific to you're right? Because that was the
best hour of the best day
of my life when I was just chugging
road sodas with some fucking
strange next to me in the car.
Back when the big bopper was still alive
and so was I.
Now, this is a big bopper, and this flashback, this is a question that I had, right?
Because as far as I can tell, the cars, the clothes, everything, the achy, breaky heart, this movie is set in contemporary times.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't know that this actor is old enough to have been a teenager in, like, the early 50s when we'd be doo-wopin in a car like this?
He's got whitish hair.
He could be in his 50s.
It's 40 years ago.
You know, it's right around.
He's in his 50, 40.
So he's driving this car and driving.
drinking when he's 10 years old?
Dude, it was a different time.
He just got out of the service, dude.
He's just 10 years old.
He just got out of work.
He was going to home.
He was fucking working in the minds all day.
We're going to double at the factory.
No, but so yes, he's like, oh, yes, I just do a quick little prank.
Pranking Netty.
You know what?
Let's prank the woman who has severe emotional problems in town, shall we?
And I mean, I'm a drunk.
I love this jacket.
I'm not skinned an adult.
Like, again, look, I will throw turkey shit.
I'll throw apples, whatever, maybe.
Put sugar in a gas tag if I really like the jacket.
Potato in the exhaust.
Sure.
If you want to get fucking murderous about it, why not?
I'll knife some tires.
I'll do it.
I'm going to, fine.
Like, when he eventually does later in the film,
go to this dog and just does comically open this fucking switch blade or whatever.
He's like, sorry, pooch, but I love my jacket.
I just, I, it's kind of funnier if he's like,
I'm too wasted to kill the dog.
And like, he can't make a cut to kill.
kill it. I mean, it's a big dog, too.
Like, it'll be cool if the dog killed him.
Yeah. It makes more sense.
It is a big rotty, dude. This thing should have gone
right at him. That would be cool. Like,
that's so in chaos, like getting all the
townspeople to kill each other. I thought that was the
point. Right. Like, it would be cool of one of the lines
like backfired, but the dude still wound up dead.
And he's like, well, a kill is a kill.
He's still couch. The jacket, the show.
Hey, you know what? Universe. Mark it.
Market. Look at the board.
Look at the board. Are the numbers on the board?
There are. Put him next to Nelson.
Baddella for some reason.
So what is going on
when Reverend Rose goes
to needful things?
All these big cock statues? And he takes
the biggest, juiciest cock statue
all the guys. I think you answered
your own question. I know, but it's like
this movie is a little wink, I guess.
I know it's like 1993
and whatever, but I need to see
just two seconds of whatever
it is this dude does with this the second
he gets home. Is he hiding it from
shoving up his ass?
I have a meeting
and he closes the door.
Maybe I, but I think he's just doing exactly
with the lady with the Elvis statue
is doing. The Brian's mother
who's like obsessed
with her statue. That's a cut thing.
It's all deleted. Oh, that's all deleted.
Chris Gavin did watch. Chris Gavin did
watch the extended television. They do
oh man, then they go all the fuck
in on Brian's mother and this she is
making out with this Elvis statue. I don't think we even met her in
this. Oh, no. She's literally just at the end of the movie
Oh, man. They put so much
fucking shit in about this mother making out
with her Elvis. Like, she won't go out of the
house because she just makes out with the Elvis statue.
What's so funny, though, is it's so
not talked about in this movie that when you see her
and she's got the sunglasses, dude,
but it feels like when you see
the weird FAA guy
and Donnie Darko, like standing in the woods
and you're like, what the fuck is that guy doing?
Like, when this woman appears at the end of this movie, you're
like, what fuck is that? Someone who did the work.
I think Ed Harris, even at the end, it's
you're Brian's mother. And they're like, oh, I guess you're Brian's
some other. I had no idea of this person.
But also, yes, welcome to
Needful Things right here.
You know, it's Reverend, it's funny. I was either going to
call it Needful Things or Big Cock Warehouse.
I went with Needful Things, so
we didn't get shut out, but yes, all your Big Cock
Needs. It seems, Reverend, that if I had
called it Big Cock Warehouse, you might have been
my best and only customer.
New York City were Big Cock Warehouse.
We have many locations
all around the city. So if you look at the business
cards for Needful Things and for Big Cock
Warehouse, it's actually just the same address.
Big Cock Warehouse, Satan's speaking.
How can I help you?
See, because out of Big Cock Warehouse,
there could be a guy who's like Joaquin in 8mm,
and he's just called the devil.
Oh, the devil's work,
and he always gives me a discount on my cock rings.
Let's go down and check it out.
He really did have to do a coin flip about Boston,
but it turned up being Big Cocker House.
We went with that over and needful things.
Big Cock warehouse, thank you for your patronage.
Please come again.
I also have branded bags for Big Cock Warehouse as well
The hilarious thing that the Reverend is doing there also
Because he's like, what religion are you?
You're not a filthy fucking Catholic are you?
And he's like, you might say, I'm non-denominational
And he's like, oh, cool, can I put this say no to the devil's sticker in your window?
No, get the fuck out of my store.
Take this huge dildo statue with you.
It's the cock that kills the old lady in Clockwork
And then like the priest comes in at some other, not Hugh Priest,
because that's a fucking confusing thing, right?
Father McManus or whatever
Comes in and he buys the cup of a carpenter
Is this supposed to be Jesus
Chris Cavillis?
Is there a TV thing that expands on the chalice
Because there's the shot of the priest
Later in the movie he's like analyzing it
He just looks at it
There's no real explaining of what it is
I gotta read this neatful thing's obsessed with this thing
I was dude I was doing a cup of the carpenter stuff
In my head I was like that's a Jesus chalice
That guy's always wanted it I guess
And then he could like pour it on
pour some water on Brian's
bullet hole.
Yeah, yeah, wash it away.
Yes, exactly.
Just fix this bullet hole in your temple kid,
pour some holy water on there.
Actually, this is one of the ones that they gave to one of the thieves,
not actually Jesus.
So you chose unwisely.
There's a great montage around here where you just see
like business picking up and all these customers coming in.
You do have one line who goes, I'm afraid
I have a tendency to turn up in the heat.
Oh, yes. Come on.
Man, definitely a trailer line if it was not.
but so yeah
the Polly Chambers diner scene
is here and this is what we learned she's got like
crippling arthritis
and yeah this is the
something I can dunk thing which is weird
weird thing here that I don't know
I think it's supposed to be I guess like Brian
has sort of figured out what's going on
because in this like conversation she's like
oh I'll go get more coffee whatever
she leaves the scene and he just
sees the little boy like standing out in the rain
staring at him yeah I think he's
feeling it earlier on
Right. And then he kind of was like, you've got to finish the job, man. This is not enough.
What, I mean, come on, man. The Mickey Mantle signed that card for you.
I mean, if you go to any store in town, it's two grand easy. You gave me 95 cents, dude.
J.T. Walsh is sort of down at his. Actually, this is the marina right here. J.T. Walsh is on a shitty boat.
It's not a yacht, by the way. It's a real shitty, like, schooner thing here. And he's, like, watching this horse race that he's losing.
And Ed Harris comes into, this is hilarious. This is hilarious. Like, he comes into his boat.
office and he pulls a gun on Ed
Harris immediately. Like
Ed Harris does I pull this gun out and fucking
take this dude down. You're in fucking sleep
town Maine. What do you do in thinking
everyone's coming to kill you? Well that's I
need even in the TV cut like you
need to have like some gangster
some book somebody
who's down his fucking neck
about this shit. Threatening phone calls
and that's why he borrows money from the town
treasurer. Yeah. Any of them.
Yeah. Anything. But no he's like oh next
week the town meeting is going to be here and
like the tax appropriation committee or something looking as what happened this 20 grand he's like uh
i'm going to pay you back and it's like barred it from the petty cash like the town's petty cash
fund or whatever 20 large and ed harris gives him four days to i'd be like fucking tomorrow
morning fucking four days and then body bedelia sees them and that like disturbs her and she's like
i don't know maybe you know just it's just not normal that he's hanging out with j t ball right yeah like
what is he doing down there or whatever and then so this is his
he finds Brian at the lighthouse and he's like,
oh, the dealing is you don't use you?
And he tosses Brian this green apple.
This kid goes to the turkey farm.
He, if he loves baseball, it's a tragedy when he happens to him.
Because he would have won pro.
This is better than the kid from rookie of the year.
Oh, big time.
These apples are not just going through windows.
They're going through microwaves, televisions.
The force you throw an apple through a window that destroys a television.
Yeah, that's so many planes of glass you're going through.
Actually, we got Jose Konseko in here to do the pictures.
Boy couldn't do it like that, so we got Jose in here.
It is a great, like, it's a cathartic thing to hear a bunch of windows breaking like that for me.
I don't know.
I watch the scene and I'm like, yeah.
But getting it through a farmhouse window and then the microwave door.
The ghost of Mickey Mantle.
The ghost of Mickey Mantle should show up and throw all these balls.
Oh, yeah, the feel of dreams is right over there.
It came right out of it.
right next to the
loser Kevin Costner
here's a turkey farm
this is more like it
while he's
while he's doing that
this is where J.T. Walsh
as Dan Keaton finally
goes into the store
because he sees the horse racing game
in the window and he's like
oh my God
he's like licking his lips
like a cartoon wolf
at this freaking thing here
you I mean this is how you know
this is a junkie
is once you start believing
you can secretly
envision the fucking
End games of a horse race over a game.
You have lost it.
You have gone out.
Also, the thing is, once you do do that, and the guy, if the guy's like, oh, this is what it does.
It magically tells you who's going to win every race if you touch the horses, you'd be like, oh, so you are the devil.
He's the only one with his eyes open and this is clearly the devil.
Or you're crazy.
You need also, like, to have von Seidau exemplify in front of him that this can work.
Which is just the scene from back to the future, too, with old.
Biff shoes, shows new beef
Biff to Almanac. Yeah, exactly.
But like, I just need that because I need like
Walsh, oh, let me turn up the radio for you,
Dan, listen to this. And he's like, my God,
I want to want $30,000. Exactly.
That would make it better. I also don't need the
line about this astonishing toy from
Japan Incorporated. It's just like
that makes it sound less magical
guy. It's this weird thing we're like,
you got a sports arm almanac. Oh, I got this from
a band in a Gloria
Dufely. Oh, I'm being sued by
Stephen Spearberg. Oh, got it.
But yeah, oh, this man who owned it, his father would put the day's racing for him into the game, and it would tell him the winners and blah, blah, blah.
Oh, wow. You didn't sell this to anybody else, sir? Oh, wow. Oh, great. I can't wait to get this. Yeah, why wasn't this thing flying off the shelf? I can't be the first person to come into your store and looking for it. I want to be rich. Was that a rare one?
I'm not the first degenerate gambler to come in a needful thing. Did I miss him getting a lot of money in this? Does that happen?
It doesn't actually happen. It does not happen.
Why would you set that up and not have it happen?
Because I feel like magic horse racing game that gets you rich like that,
but then also a be careful of what you wish for kind of story,
that's a fucking 90-minute movie in itself right there.
I see the ins and outs of this game and he becomes a big rich guy.
I love J.T. Walsh, but maybe just take this character out of the movie,
if you're not going to do it right, Stephen, or whoever, Frasier, Crane,
Justin.
Come in on the clutch in the back half of this.
though, Eric. I don't know about this.
He's great, he's great, but
yeah, I don't know. I don't know about
any of this movie.
The, whatever from
the turkey farm does her harassing
at the diner at this point. This is where
Nettie gets all upset and
Von Seidow takes her outside
says a bunch of shit to her
that you don't hear, but all of a sudden she stops
crying and starts laughing and oh yeah,
you have you picked up your
attitude, have you not? Oh yes.
I told her how long it was.
this is when she goes to Buster's
house, right? And starts putting all the stickers
in there, basically. We see
Yeah, somewhere around here. Because we see him
using the horse race, right? And he's so
wrapped up in it. That's right. But we still have to see
him fucking screaming at this wife first
where he's like, he's like
doing the racing or whatever and she's like
you know, oh
you know, Dan, you want fucking
breakfast? Honey dip doughnuts. He's fucking screaming at
this lady. Yeah, give me a fucking toilet paper,
a nose chop, anything to get out of it.
It's like, oh, man, J.T. Walsh rules.
Oh, my God. It's really, really nuts.
And, yeah, so, like, you have a quick thing of Nettie.
Nettie talking to the dog, like, we're going to lock all the doors and windows from now on
because people are fucking crazy in this town.
And whatever.
And then, yeah, the window breaking happens.
And we, this is the best part.
This is, like, von Sightow now is, like, the plan is in full effect.
They're doing my bidding.
And he's closing the store.
And it's, like, you know, closed until further notice.
And he just goes,
Yes, sir, we are having fun now.
It's just so good.
The trailer is all Bon Sido reactions.
If you watch the trailer, it's all him's being pleased with his work.
That's what I want in life.
Like, if he did YouTube unboxes or first looks at trailers and he's just reacting.
Oh, I'm so excited to unbox this new ORB electric toothbrush I've gotten.
And thank you to the ORB Corporation.
This free gift.
I'm kind of at loggerheads because I do love Shane Black so much.
Mark Wahlberg, in this role, I just don't know.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, yes, this is my 14th video about why man of steel is better than Superman 2025, you understand.
If you look at the marketing budgets, if you do that, you will understand why it is better.
Also, Mr. Terrific is black, and that is not terrific?
I'm listening to the Genesis albums for the first time in live reacting to it.
What is, oh, touch is it?
the lion lies down on Broadway
it is a fantastic record
this is the von Seidau report
with Max von Seidau
I'm interviewing Theo Vaughn if you could believe it
speak it for the Von Scheidow report
Oh that's a Vaughan and a Vaughan
Yes there you go
Around here this is Hugh Priest man
Going to this house
And this is a dude that's doing the accent
Because the dog
The dog is named
Raider. And so this guy
drunkenly walks up in the house and he's like,
hey, Raider,
how you're hanging?
I've not gotten drunk enough
that skinning a dog seemed like a good idea.
And I've gotten plenty drunk in my day.
You know what I got,
Rader? I got a nice jacket
and I'm gonna keep it.
He flicks this knife up and you're like,
oh man.
This is while Nettie is putting all the parking tickets
signed by Norris, the deputy.
and it's like, you know, parking in a bad
space, embezzling all this money
also being a cock-sucker
is one of them. Oh, but
the best one, did we get the best one though?
One of them is he gets a ticket for horse fucking.
Yes, yes, yes.
What do you think of that, Chris?
That was knocked down
to horse fondling, okay?
That's not fair.
Yeah, you'll never, they don't let you in Missouri
anymore for a reason. Me or J.T.
Walsh. I don't know. This is
kind of a rad scene, though, because J.T. Walsh was
really wrapped up in all the gambling in his
den or whatever and when
he comes out of the room she hears him and there's a
cool like yeah unbeknownst
to J.T. Walsh cat and mouse thing going on
where she's like hiding from him in the house and she slinks
out and of course he thinks now that this
is Norris that did it
and again like this is almost in spite of
the movie Amanda
Amanda Plummer and J.T. Walsh are fun to watch
do you know what I mean like her even just
stamp with these tickets it's funny
and it's fun and menacing
in a way. The fun stops right
here because Nettie goes home and sees the dog's
skinned alive hanging from the ceiling
I'm sorry it's a puppet it's a jump
scare too yeah you priest
flicks that knife and then a
predator comes out and he's like
I got it's like okay
because this is like a clean job
oh I know you're coming home early I haven't
I'm not done boiling his skull
yet I'm gonna say maybe if this guy was like a butcher
before I'd believe this
but he can do this stuff right from his brain
that would make sense if it was a town butcher
that did this but like
It's like the legs are tied together.
It's like hanging from the ceiling, like a chandelier.
It was something they discovered week in and week out on the show Hannibal.
Like Will Graham walks into a room and there's another person's skinned, flayed, and hanging from a ceiling.
I guess the idea is now you're really framing the turkey farm because she is a butcher of sorts.
Oh, sure.
Kind of sort of.
I would have done a mad's voice there, but Max von Sido, Mads.
It's too much.
It blends right in together.
The funny thing, Steve, you just reminded me.
when that pig woman goes
home to the turkey farm. It's right
before she walks into the shit
curtains or whatever. She's
like the husband's
Randall or whatever's name. Oh yeah, I'm back
Randall. How about you scoop something up
from the pan? I feel like
turkey tonight. I'm just like
you feel like turkey every
night. We run a turkey
farm. What are you talking about? For once
I'd just like to make a hamburger at my
house. Yes, mistress. Squeeze my
balls. I'll get you a turkey.
Gobble, gobble.
So you're asking me what I need.
Can you murder my wife?
I can just own the turkey farm.
That would great.
She's looking at all these broken windows right here.
And Nettie comes to the house.
All while we're still getting the Ave Maria
that Max von Sida was blaring while he sits in front of the fire,
twiddling his thumbs, tenting his fingers or whatever.
And so this is great because, like, comes right in.
Nettie stabs Wilma in the gut right here.
It's a normal move.
and then whoever directed
those Jason-born parkour fights
comes in and you get a middle-aged
woman fight here and it fucking
rules. It's awesome, dude. They go through
a fucking shelf of pickles and other
canned goods which is awesome. It's just
they might have the bongo
spit in the knife, like
Amanda Palmer picks up a magazine and starts
using it. And this was funny because
like I said, I saw this movie a ton of the 90s,
but I haven't watched it in fucking ages. And
nothing was
really like hitting like I remember
like von Sido's character I didn't
remember you know this that and the other thing
but these two women going
out the window and falling off the roof
oh you bet your ass I remembered
this part great stunt work here
yes not bad and
Amanda Palmer has the fucking thing
right in her fucking head
and then a turkey farmer
got stabbed in the guts like a butcher's
mallet from the turkey farmer in her head
turkey farmer has just got a great line
in the middle of it's like come at me bitch
if you're going to come for me. Come at me, bitch.
And I'm like, yeah. Well, she did.
Was this woman involved in like glow
ladies wrestling?
Because so many of her lines of dialogue
feel like she's fucking taping a segment
like a promo. In the initial
screen match, too, it was just like, you killed
my dog. You broke my microwave.
Microwave.
That's a quiet out of.
It's like, first of all, you have no windows
left at your house. It's a little more expensive than the
microwave. How am I supposed to cook up
my turkey tonight if I don't got my
microwave. She's just my, it's this raw
turkey. Just throw it in there, dude.
Turn it on until it smells good. No seasoning.
That could be a TikTok white person
meal. Totally. Boiled turkey.
I'm boiling all my turkey, y'all.
Going to put some cream in it and a bunch
of cheese and hot sauce.
That's good. Oh, it's good. Oh, and I'm
making it on the counter and I'm making
it in my toilet. Not
cream of turkey, creamy turkey.
It's the best. Yeah, it's the best kind.
There's a difference, okay.
But then, of course, we go back to Leland Gaunt and the
opera finishes and he's very satisfied.
And then the next song comes on,
I've given you everything, all the joy you'll be.
Yes, I swear.
Yes, I swear.
I love the spice girls.
Yes, I know that I do things.
I know that I will meet Ed Harris's grandson in 20153.
And I know in six years the spice girls will be around.
Come into my life, spice up your life.
Spice up your life.
All the people of the world.
Sposh, how would you like to meet David Beckham?
Oh, man, but yeah, so this is J.T. Walls runs in right after Polly, and it's so awesome because he's freaking out.
And this is von Sain of being like, okay, Dan, why don't you go up to my apartment?
You see, you're cock-blocking me right now, Dan.
I'm about to seduce Polly, you see, and you coming in, screaming like a maniac is really cock-blocking me.
Because he wants to kill Nora.
Oh, no, no, no, you can't do that.
That would go right back to it.
Then they would get you, you understand.
You need to do another prank for me.
Yes, we need to criss-cross.
Remember Dan Chris-cross apple sauce?
Very important, yeah.
It's on TCM tonight.
It's a very good movie.
This is where she gets the necklace for her pain.
Oh, it's a white...
Anyone says white magic to me?
I'm like, I cannot know, thank you.
Was there a fucking rude on there?
When I show a bunch of useless...
It's either Big Cock Warehouse for here.
Here I sell a lot of useless...
Christian is a thing for you.
And I want to be clear. It's not just
a white magic. It does sound bad.
Any magic with a color
ranking, I'm going to say no, no, do. I'm going to
like, you know what, no thank you. But his accent,
white magic, I'm thinking he's got it from
Heinrich Himmler's estate.
But Christ,
this is a bridge too far
with the magic thing. It just
seems a little silly. The devil.
Really? No, but I agree with
it's like, it's breaking the rule
Because he sets them up, they knock them down.
Exactly.
But this is something completely different.
Even the gambling game is a little bit on this level of like,
sure. There's a magic element to it.
But you never see it. If it worked, it would.
But it doesn't work.
But I think it's like he knows that this in some way or another is going to backfire
and set J.T. Wals off or whatever.
The thing with Bonnie Bedelia is straight up just he wants to get laid.
Yeah, he does.
This is all, oh, if I cure her pain, maybe then she'll be able to wrap her hand around
something if you know what I'm saying. Yeah, no, I have a note later in this that's cleavage wizard
wizard stuff. Well, that's, by the way, original title for this movie. Better title. I would
have loved that. But like one for cleavage wizard stuff, please. So yeah, it's just this like,
make sure it's right next to your skin, you see. It's like, it's like one of those wireless
charges. Sometimes the charge can get through your phone case and you have to take it off right
against the charger. Yes, please dangle it in between your tummy knuckles.
I'm not playing with my langolier, I promise you now.
I like your big round tommas.
Not those long, flat langoliers that other women have.
Now why don't you suck on my green mile?
Oh, yes.
I'll be standing by you, that's for sure.
Get it nice and shining, if you know what I mean.
Oh, that was great.
I'm going doctor's sleep.
Yes, they're all.
This is a flash forward
to the fucking. He's so horny that
it volts us to the future.
Yes, I'm breaking down the space time
barrier because I'm so horny.
What with being the devil? I must motorboat
Bonnie Bedelia. I must have it.
Apologies. I went a little faster. You might as well
call me Mr. Mercedes.
Oh, I've done it so much today.
It's the dead zone down there.
You're going to say, whatever the JFK date, that's the last time
I pleasureed a woman.
Or the last time I had sexually intercourse was a
11, 22, 63.
Oh, my goodness.
This gun slingers out of my mouth.
Yes, oh, yes, it looks like a dark tower down there.
He got it going.
Cujo.
Yeah, so he's, this is where Dan is like,
I think I should kill Norris Ridgewick or whatever.
And this is where he's like,
you can't kill them, Dan,
because they'll be mad at you.
They'll go to the cemetery and urinate.
on your grave, which is just like,
they're going to do what?
They're going to piss on my grave.
How do you know that?
And he says to him right here,
he's like, by the way, Dan,
Sheriff Pangborn is their leader.
He's playing into his paranoia deal or whatever.
I love the murder scene they go to where
the priest and the Baptist Reverend there are both
doing like they're doing banjos, yeah.
Yes, because it's like Wilma is the Catholic
and Nettie's the Baptist
and they're each
getting their own thing
here at the murder scene or whatever
and you know
Ed Harris is like
what's going on
with these apples
and the kid there
is like oh fuck
yes
not only do I feel bad
but I think now
I'm going to go to jail
or whatever
you know he's like
hey Brian you know
what happened
who's throwing these apples
this looks like a professional
apple throw a job
we know you're the best
I don't know
that misdemeanor's wearing
a Yankee cap in this town
I'm going to run you up
you're going to
a weekend of the fucking slammer
for that Brian
listen I came from Pittsburgh
for some reason. I used to wear my pirates hat, but I
can't. You don't see me wearing a pirate's
head all willy-nilly around this town, do you?
You should support the main baseball
team, the main manors.
Clam-huggers!
It's funny, though,
because he's asking him, like, yeah,
you know anything about these apples there, Brian? And the kid's like, no.
And he just goes, then why don't you go home?
Well, I mean, I think the idea is like, you don't want to look
at two dead bodies, but he doesn't do it in
an Ed Harrisy way. No, that's
my point, of course, is this guy cannot say,
anything in this movie without sounding
like he's yelling orders at people and I love it
so much.
The great line here that ends the scene, he says to
Deputy Norris, he goes, you want the knife
or the cleaver? Or Deputy Norris says that
to Ed Harris, which one do you want to fucking deal with
here? And then like, there's a task
force for three seconds where he's like
this wasn't a, you know, this was a scene. Yeah, he's
got like the red yarn and he's making
all the connections. And there's like seven other deputies you
never see before or since. Including
Lockland Monroe. Oh yes, that's right.
Dude, a 1993 Lockland Monroe
looking exactly like he did
in a scary movie a few years later.
He's got lines too, good for him.
He definitely, that dude was like a baby-faced actor
for a really long time.
I haven't seen him a lot these days.
Yeah, he was on something recently, right?
What was that?
Going to bring him back for the new scary movie maybe?
He played someone's dad in something.
Yes, because I remember we were almost saying
this exact same thing if he hasn't been in things in a while.
That wasn't screen before, was it?
No, it was something newer.
No, he's, maybe it'll come to do.
Does it matter?
Nah.
But whatever.
Oh, the mousetrap gift bag is around here.
This is a fucking brutal one, though, I think.
He just goes, they're like, hey, the whole task force breaks up.
And then like...
Good meeting task force.
We'll reconvene after the movie's over and do it download.
Pie unit, go to the luncheonette.
We'll be there in a minute.
The pie unit.
And, oh, somebody gave me a present.
He sticks his hand in.
The sound design is great on this.
It's who, yeah.
A mousetrap of the hand.
It really breaks his own.
fingers or whatever. It's a bad one. It's a big ass
mouse trap. I think this is a rat trap. You might
have to qualify it because it is huge.
He's got all four fingers
stuck in this thing. It's awful. And
the note, so the deal was back of the
initial parking ticket that said J.T.
Walshoff, he was parked in a handicapped
space. You know, but
this is a Stephen King story.
So we're calling it the Crip Space.
Sure. So this is, there's a note
and it's supposed to be from Buster saying
the Crip Space is
all yours. Uh-huh. That's
he knows going on there
Monroe update I think I was thinking of that movie
Totally Killer that came out the other year
Oh I don't know what that was that
That's with Kieran Shipka
Yes oh yes yes yes yes
It's like kind of like a back to the future
Ish thing right
Goes back to it goes back back
We got the big lighthouse scene here guys
Brian what are you doing this fucking lighthouse
You stupid little kid I mean
What's bothering you son
Oh you have a gun that's all calmed down
Yeah yeah big and this is the
gun that it's somewhere along
the way von Seidau is like
actually let me hold onto that for a second
Dan yeah he takes Dan oh it's J.T. Walsh's gun
yes that's right oh I'll take that from you Dan
what do Brian? Take
the hat off to shoot it don't shoot it on your head
shoot it on the ground this this cursed hat's gonna be much
easier to assassinate if you throw it on the ground
I understand you came to your senses you want to shoot the Yankee
hat but take it off your head first
and this is when the movie gets really sloppy
because clearly in the book Brian does
kill himself and I think they must have shot
something wherein he did kill himself.
They shot him.
That's why this kid never wound up in anything after this.
That's why you don't see him in the rest of the movie.
No, because he does.
And then, like, basically there's this weird shot, like, insert shot of a gun,
like, at the beginning of the 1930 Superman show.
And it's just, like, firing.
And, like, you don't see it.
You see Ed Harris' lunge, then the gun in, like, another universe is shooting.
Yes.
And then later on, there's, like, a bunch of ad-lib, like, ADR lines of, like,
when he shot himself but totally survived.
Yes.
Yep.
I wasn't faster than a speeding bullet.
Oh, it got him.
There's some crazy ones.
All over him.
Well, dude, this is a Pulp Fiction.
She goes, don't, or he says, Brian says to Harris.
He goes, don't come any closer.
You'll get stuff on you.
As he's got the gun to his head.
Oh, God.
It's awful.
That's stuff's called brains and blood.
It's going to kill you.
Well, it's one of those things when you think about, again,
the shining when Danny Lloyd, like Stanley Kubrick was like,
made another movie for the kid
to think that he was in
while he's making this really disturbing movie
there's no way to do that
it's like hey kid you're going to put a gun
to your head and pretend to shoot yourself
because it's the insert for when like
the gun goes off or whatever but you are
seeing this little kid with a prop gun
right to his fucking temple man
and he starts telling him here he's like you know
he made me do bad things I got to go
to hell now don't go into needful things
it's a poison place
and Leland Gaunt I don't think we've said his name once
Max Man's Idol's character is Leland Gaunt
is a poisoned man
and then just
it's trying to go to hell the night
and yeah
the Ed Harris like slow motion
yes
trying to get at him
is well thankfully this town is still
you know it's a pretty small town
they only probably have a school house
so there's not many
not a lot of people make it funnier
aren't you supposed to be in
fucking kindergarten through 12th grade
that's happening right now in the same room
at the church
everyone goes to school
on the base of this lighthouse
what are you talking about going to hell
all disgusting shit boys
go to hell. I've got to told you that.
I just found it in my notes, though. What he says when he fucking brings
the gun to his head, Mickey Mantle sucks.
Those are the last words
of this kid on Earth.
Harris picks up the cards.
Oh, Mickey Bannels is a really expensive card, Brian.
And he signed it to you. Would you go harass him
at dinky donuts or what?
And then we get
we see the priest shows up
at the bar, slashes
Mr. Priest's tires.
And then this is the bartenders fucking
kicking him out again. This is a
this guy gets jazzy jeffed out of this bar but falls down some wooden stairs oh fuck this
hurts that's awesome you can't be kicking by jukebox man true that's true but he sees his tires
and so that like sets this dude off on whatever mission he's gonna do then he goes to needful
things he gets a gun doesn't he i think this one mike's fun satto just starts with you know what
here's a good here's a cool terminator two shotgun it's a fucking great line he goes maybe you should
go take care of him once and for all yes um but there's a
weird domestic thing here where
like Ed Harris goes to the diner really quickly
and he's like, 11 year old kid tries to
eat a bullet and he's like talking to
Polly about it or whatever
and he rips, he's like, where'd you get that
fucking necklace? Oh, did the devil give that to you?
And like, yeah. Rips it off of her or whatever
and she's like, oh my hands
and it starts happening and he's like, he says
he's got this line where it's like
oh yeah, that works. Yeah, it probably works better
that fucking percadain and I'm like, hey man, you're
battling the devil right now. Let's deal with that
another time. You gotta pick one here, buddy.
I'm sorry. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. And in this scene specifically, he's
like, a little kid, and then they should cut to
like four weeks later. Shot himself, but
totally survived, everybody.
Is that okay? Is that okay? Columbia
pictures? He's in the great, I mean,
hospital right now. He was so
young, there was nothing between his ears, so
right out one side, it was fine.
It actually whizzed past his
Yankees cap. The only thing damaged
was that damn Yankees cap.
and so like
what does he say
oh this is where he's like
uh
von Sida was talking
when he gives him the shotgun
he's like talking about
throughout the years
he's always
I've always sold them guns
yeah
they always want guns
these stupid humong
yeah it was like
oh Macedonia
or whatever else he's
is just where like
the newspaper clippings
of all this
Ed Harris has done
some research at some point
because he throws that
in Bonnie Bedelia's face
at this diner scene
because he's like
I checked
and there was
never anyone in Scranton, Ohio
or Akron, Ohio, rather, named
fucking Leland Gant.
Hitler takes Austria. Who left the gate open there?
Leland Gantz. Oh, who sold
Lee Harvey Oswald, that magical bullet?
Leland Gant. That's the thing,
is you need, like, a picture of fucking
a young Max von Sido in, like,
Hitler's, like, closest, like,
assistance or whatever.
The big, the big group photo of the office Christmas
party. Or his name in the print.
He just, like, looks at all these headlines.
like bomb dropped
to fucking like
the massacre
I guess he was
involved in that
like a shining photo
of Hitler and stuff
he was always at the party
for the fury
right yes exactly
yes I was actually
hanging out with
Oppenheimer
and I was like
hey I got a big
old
you do all this math
over there
but I got the A bomb
right here
if you wanted
or this atom
oh here's how you split it
just like this
down in the middle
who sold
who sold
Hindenburg
all that helium
it was Leland God
yes that's correct
He did something at all.
Every last drop of it.
Who do you think Greenlett
the book of Boba Fett?
Leland fucking Gant.
Fucking self-driving cars?
Yeah, Leland Gant.
Waymo.
Waymo is actually ancient Aramaic for Satan.
Samaria demon.
Waymo.
Trump University, Leland Gant.
Turned it to lowbrow for me.
I don't know.
Pasta made out of grown-up chickpeas?
Leeland fucking gone.
Yeah, he started bazaar, whatever the fuck that place.
God, that fucking shit sucks.
People that put a little bit of peas in their spaghetti?
Leeland fucking gone.
Raisins and coleslaw, Leland gone.
Cheesecake Factory, B.F. Changs.
Goes down through the ages.
Apples and chicken salad, Leland.
So, oh, great Jesus reference.
Oh, yes.
Because Mr. Priest is like, oh, Jesus or whatever.
And Max von Zadda is like, oh, that fine young carpenter from Nazareth had a lot of promise died badly.
Yes, I also, that was me.
I did that one.
Punchus pilot, I can sell you a couple of nails if you want.
I got it just two good ones here.
I just need you to pull a trick on Jesus really quickly.
This doesn't really seem like a prank artist.
It's a prank.
So Alan goes to see what's going on at Needful Things,
finds it closed until further notice sign.
We see Polly decides, you know what?
Maybe I should see what's inside this necklace.
She takes it off and tries to break it open.
And this is like, this effect of Bonnie Medelia's hands.
Turning to the lobster claws.
Yes, and like all the crunchy sounds that are happening
of her bones contorting and whatnot.
Delicious.
Yeah.
While she's wearing the riskiest negligee,
the spice channel ever produced.
Spice up your life.
Every point out of it for girls
That's right
I will spice up my life
With Bonnie Bedelia
Not a bad place to be
I mean there's no way
She's ever gonna lose this thing
Because if the fucking chain breaks
It's not moving
It is just comfortably nestled
It is wild
Well I do think that like
Leeland gods
I guess I will destroy
Whoa look at that one
Holy shit
I do no plan
No plan
Even I am not made of stone
Brimstone yes
But actual stone no
Oh what you say
You say you got this from the spice
channel.
Very wonderful channel.
They do have sex, right?
That's the idea.
Like, he comes in, he stops her,
he puts the necklace back on her.
He puts it back on, yeah.
It doesn't hurt anymore, right?
I refuse to tell you what's in it.
It would spoil the fun.
Apparently in the novel,
why don't we get to fade to black around here?
In the novel, apparently, Stephen King's style,
there's an evil spider inside of it that she has to kill.
Ooh, yeah, kind of like a big turtle or whatever.
Maybe there's just another evil, extradementional
spider clickety clack
there's an extra dimensional
hmm look around my office here
oh look at that little guy in the corner of the ceiling
spider got it there's a crab
spider in it but there's not just a spider
so maybe it's a crab I thought it was a turtle
it's the same year yes oh
it when you see the real it's a spider
is it like a spider crab thing
right right right yeah that man
it just gets dumber and dumber the more you watch that movie
um so yeah
this is yeah Leland does all that or whatever
The cool thing is when Alan Ed Harris breaks into needful things, the place is completely empty.
No one's ever lived there.
He goes down to the fucking basement.
It's also like emptyish or whatever, but there is.
Where's the Nazi stuff?
Where's the Nazis stuff go?
The plates are supposed to be down here.
Oh my God.
Every building built in New York City post-2015, Leland fucking gone.
You know those big skinny ones?
The stupid ones.
You know, those buildings that they build and only Chinese.
billionaires buy the fucking apartment so they never fucking move in.
Leeland fucking Gant.
Yes, I actually had to hire some other Igmar Bergman actors to help me out.
And when we were destroying Newark City.
So, yeah, Leeland tells her right here, oh, Dan and Alan were embezzling.
All he's going to do is cause you pain.
And then this is his line, though.
I've always enjoyed these ladies who take great pride in themselves.
He's seducing her.
This is, oh, this is, in the basement, Alan finds all the newspaper.
Hitler, Congress, Poland, yeah.
The president is dead.
That's a fucking funny headline.
And then, yes, including in that, is the local newspaper, the Castle Rock, Penny Saver, whatever the fuck.
The great crimes of history, also the turkey farmer died.
Yes.
Yeah, exactly.
Nazis, atomic bomb, murdered turkey farmer.
Are you familiar with the turkey farmer?
And then also very important, a shit ton of explosives in the,
basement of this store.
Polly goes to Allen's
boat to try to find him and that's if she finds
all this money so she thinks that yes,
her suspicions were confirmed that Polly and Dan are
in cahoots. I will say I'm happy they
cut a lot out of this. There's some, I think
you could have gotten a little bit more of the mother
who explained why Brian wants to kill himself and
why he understands it more. But the
one thing they should have kept in is there is an
earlier scene where you get to
see her and him on the boat and like
having a nice time. And Ed Harris,
I'm sorry. Where's the
sluttiest outfit.
Hell yeah.
His thing, it is a blousey
J. Jill's sweater.
Ooh.
With tight jeans.
And this man is just throwing it around.
He's ready to fucking do it.
It's kind of like his outfit in the creep show, funny enough.
He's whoring out a little bit than that.
I don't remember him.
There's like an open shirt going on and it's where he does some
intense, coaked out dancing.
It's the birthday cake.
But Delia, where's my birthday cake?
What a little slutty is a little bit.
Or Father's Day cake.
uh no i think it's a birthday i think yeah but do you know where i don't remember it doesn't matter
and then a fucking big uh zombie tombstone gets pushed on his head and he gets oh yes uh it's fucking
uh it's fucking great j t walsh uh rams his car into uh norris's outside the police station at
this point or whatever and then this is a great norris is like finally had enough he goes out
to confront j t wals he goes get this you fat fuck and punches him in the face he handcuffs him to
his car ed harris stops him from killing each other he's like listen
things you're getting rough in this town. I'm going to need you. Just put this son of a bitch
at a holding cell. Yeah. And, uh, Norris tries to like beat him up a little bit more and then
fucks up and then J.T knocks him out. I am not a piece of shit. He yells at it. Which is awesome.
Yeah. Yeah. A big trailer moment. Oh yeah. And he's just going for it. J.T. Walsh style.
Oh, absolutely. And so he, yeah, he dupes, uh, Norris at this point, gets the better of him,
gets the keys to the car. And he's driving home.
handcuffed to the outside door handle
which is very funny but this is where he gets
home and he's fucking honking
the horn screaming for this wife
and everything and then she finally comes
out and he goes
thought you died on the jar
he's screaming at her get me the
fucking sarr the screwdriver and a hammer
and I'm going to like break myself out of
first give me your wrist
give me your wrist I go fucking hosier you know what I'm on
he's calling her a fucking moron
and then oh did you fuck him did you fuck him
you fuck Norris yes yeah
You and Norris put up the tickets together, you know, this is that, the other thing.
Okay.
And then he just fucking murders her with a hammer, like pretty brutally off screen.
Yeah, but it's like, you know what's going.
You get what's going on.
I want to see it, though.
I want to see it.
Leather face style.
Yeah, just a clunk, you know.
Give me that clunk sound.
Give me a couple hits.
You want some Hellraiser wax there?
That's what you're thinking?
Some real hammer wax from that movie?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eric, if you want to have
snuff films, you could just reactivate your Twitter
appellate.
I did. Come back to the 80. I actually
did. Come back to the 80s, Eric. Come back to the 80s.
I did. When I opened it, I saw nothing but murder
on this. There you go.
Big trailer line here.
J.T. Walsh calls Max von Sederger
goes, I just killed my wife.
Is that wrong?
Hey, these things happen.
Yeah. It's so awesome.
And he gives Dan the explosives to bury
in the church. And he's doing that.
I think, and J.T.
W. Maxwell Tito is still there.
I think here's what he's like,
you're quite disgusting.
I like that in a person, which is a great line.
Well, we're now firmly in J2 Wash every other.
He's like, I want to die.
Please kill me. I want to die.
I love what he's got him.
He's digging the hole to put the explosives outside the church.
And he's like, now keep digging.
I don't know. I killed my wife.
You're going to kill me if I do this.
It's like, yeah, yeah.
Farmers don't kill you.
But first, keep digging.
Keep digging.
It's just so.
I feel like the devil's working.
too fast here, right?
Let's slow marinate this town.
You know, we've had a lot happen.
Give it a maybe a month or two other shit happens.
Exactly.
The law is on me.
I've got to go to hell tonight.
Alan goes to the priest to try to explain to him like, hey, man, what's the devil like?
Because I'm pretty sure the devil has come to Castle Rock.
And this is where the priest is analyzing the chalice like really quickly or whatever.
Oh, well, the devil.
Yeah, no, he's probably from Akron, Ohio.
That's number one.
German accent for sure, mustache.
He's from the evil Europe. I don't know.
One of those. And because the priest
is in the pocket of big Satan
already, he's like refusing to have
Leland Gant is a decent man. What are you talking about?
Well, he's also like, I know who the devil is. It's that
Willie Rose. Yeah, the Reverend Rose. Oh, that's the devil right there,
sonny. The only thing we agree on is
that Leland Gant is a wonderful man.
We should do more for this. Maybe he should be mayor.
And when he screams, it's that damned Reverend Willie
rose the church explodes
pretty fantastic man blowing
up a fucking Irish priest's church
I thought he was gonna get impaled
by this spire and it would have been a better
movie if he was you just wanted to do a full
sleepy hollow right there why not
well I'll tell you because they certainly set it
up that way don't they I mean you see this spire
falling off the church and there's a shot
of the priest looking up like
no and I was like
oh but it just like fell 20 feet away
I guess it's also in the omen to a priest gets
isn't that what happens to David Warner
David Warner gets to capitated
by a pane of glass that falls
off a truck. There's a priest earlier
in the film where a...
It's not a whole spire. It's like one metal
rod and falls down and like gets them right
through the chest or whatever.
But yeah, it's those goddamn
Baptists and he's like running out to wage
war on this Reverend Rose
here or whatever. And I love this shot
Boncideau just puffing
on this cigarolo, just
watching his fucking work go down.
I'm surprised he doesn't have a rocking chair. That's what
for that outside.
To rock out to the spice girls.
I know it's a controversial
but I am a sporty spice
supporter. That is my lady right there.
I like the idea that he's wearing
this big maleficent hat
and a dark coat and he opens it up.
He's got like a pink crop tie up with spice
written glitter on it. I just loved him.
Many people think I'm a baby spice
supporter, but no, no, no. Sporty spice.
Oh, and don't get to
started on scary she doesn't scare me she thrills me
although yes i am a big eddie murphy oh yes scary how would you thank you for coming in
would you like uh to uh meet eddie mergers that should go well for you
the devil's union right there would you like to have a child with him do they have a kid
together i believe so the town's all going ape shit yes uh we're in the end times as in end of
the movie the baptist and the catholic are fucking
fighting each other. Really, just really, a real
slobber knocker right out the street.
Another pretty good fight. And then there's
a, like, a car smashes into
another one, and this guy's like, he stole
my Treasure Island book or something.
My first edition, Robert Lewis, Stevenson
Treasure Island. The principal. Yeah, the principal of school
got that. That's in the
montage, you see somebody getting that.
Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And clearly,
there's more with him in the TV cup
because we don't know that he's the principal. He sees a
glowing copy of Treasure Island.
Ah! Ha! ha!
This is too much.
I don't need Treasure Island guy.
Yeah, I love Von Sider.
Kill them all.
Let God sort them out.
Somebody breaks into the gasoline and chainsaw store, which is right next to Needful Things.
Yeah, the Gass and Saw.
There's three stores.
It's a gasoline store, gasoline and chainsaw store, the diner, and Needful Thing.
That's it.
That's all you need.
Probably want a general store somewhere to get some groceries.
Groceries.
That's what the gas and chainsaw store used to be.
And they're like, we're making more money on the gas and chainsaws than the general.
You want to eat at home?
I'll swing by Wilma's turkey slaughter farm.
Yeah, exactly.
The luncheonette.
If you don't want diner food, which is like turkey clubs and, you know, that turkey
bacon at their omelet, you can go to the turkey farm and just have a turkey, I guess.
That's right.
So Ed Harris, he's just had enough with this.
And this is amazing.
He just screams, no, and just starts firing this gun into the sky because he's being forced.
Like, no, you got to shoot him, shoot him.
Do it, Ed Harris.
Because the priest is about to kill the Baptist
And he's not to stop him, he does that.
And like, I was like, do it.
Do it now.
And then Ed Harris, like, you have the town's attention here, man.
You screamed louder than anyone's ever screamed in Castle Rock before.
They're all looking at you.
And you start throwing out this complicated metaphor about fucking fuse boxes.
Just tell him the devil's messing with these.
Yeah, it's like a fucking fuse box.
And he's wiring you to her and you to him.
Okay, all right.
Is this a licensed electrician doing this?
Does anybody have a notebook?
I want to get this down.
And the fuses are empty.
They're not the right size.
They're not 18 watt to 14 watt.
You understand.
It's a very difficult situation.
And this devil never went to a trade school in his fucking life.
You're saying there's going to be no power tonight at that town?
And then you don't know where to buy fuses.
And you have to ask your neighbor.
Where do I buy fuses?
Well, this is sort of why I like this movie is like this big speech.
It's very end of a twilight zone.
episode, right? And Ed Harris has the
gravitas to make it feel like a good
one. It's just like, he's
explaining it in his big, like,
modelogue about, we need to trust each other and do
this and do that. Right.
And it's
fucking great, man. I mean, because the town
really starts coming around to shit
or whatever. Uh-oh, here comes J.T.
Walsh with Lee Harvey
Oswald's gun. But first you have
my favorite is Boxwood's side. Oh,
you losers. Oh, you
That's such pathetic puppets.
He calls Ed Harris a woozy.
Yes.
I stole your girl, by the way.
Oh, man.
I threw that back out, as you say,
von Seidau style.
Clapping ass von Seidot style.
How do you like having Seidau seconds?
Sideout seconds.
Just reheat him in the microwave with your side of turkey meat.
because that's what she is bro
I'll tell you something
me and your wife hung out
and we did not play chess
if you understand my meaning
quite a lot of dunking
was happening that night
I got cucked by the devil
radio I got cooked by the devil
that should be the single
till I saw the devil
I got cucked by the devil
you sit there and watch
I'll take
I make
something about
head and her sister
I was like I got nothing
something something well just circle the block
and see if anything shakes out
uh but this
he yeah so he screamed everything to the townspeople
he's he's rewired as is that the other thing
you're finished in this town
and then boom ed harris shot by
the sniper you do get the sniper
scope but they don't show you that it's JT.
Wals so then J.T. Walsh runs out with the big
rifle or whatever and the fucking dynamite
strapped to his chest and stomach
he's just all wired up
Awesome. He comes out talking shit immediately.
He's like, you guys sound like a fucking AA meeting out here.
Hi, my name is Dan, and I'm here to blow up your fucking town.
All those idiots that go to AA, which I don't need.
And then Von Seidau right here, I think overplays his hand, right?
Because he's trying to convince him to do it.
He's like, just do it, Buster.
Like he calls him Buster.
And then J.T. Wals turns around and goes,
it was you, you cocksucker.
He's like, you know, but he calls me bastard.
He jumps.
And you know what?
It's the 1990s and we are blowing up house.
Dude, this is one of the greatest explosions.
By the way, you want to know why in this country you can't afford to buy a house?
There it is.
We blew them all up in the 90s for movies.
But this is amazing.
You see so many, these boards flying off this house.
Yeah, just splinters of wood flying through the air.
It's so great.
It's like squib stuff.
You just can't beat it.
And this fucking Norris, man, this guy's great with the one-one.
liners. He just comes up after this huge
catastrophe and all this explosion
stuff. Huh. Shouldn't have
called him Buster. Yeah.
So good. Because he
jumps into
Von Sido into the house. Tackles him through
the window. That should be the end of
Von Sider. A lot of good it did. Yeah. He just
comes out. This is awesome. Just dusting
himself off, man. It's so great.
He's like, oh, not to my best work
of this town. There are days when I really
hate this job, which is so
fucking funny. Just this like
time card punching devil man this is just a job to me it's so cool give my regards to your grandson
bob will be his name we'll meet in jacotta in 20503 we'll make some headlines oh nice
beautiful morning that day oh yeah beautiful morning that day well you know that's inspiring that there
will be a 2050 three i really didn't see that coming but stay out of jacarta that year right
you don't know what's going to otherwise jacarta is wonderful and beautiful and nothing bad happens
there. Just because he's done things
like, you know, Dr. Sleep and he's continued
some other characters and stories,
I was like, all these years
later, has King written something that
is that 2053 story?
Because like, you got it there, dude. I'm sure
it's in a back pocket, the fucking index card
somewhere. Say, they want another
movie after the long walk didn't so well, maybe
it's Jakarta by Stephen King.
Yeah, take it off the shelf, take a look at that story.
Take out all the flying cars,
take out all the stuff that the good things
about the future. Take out the United States
of America. That's long gone by 2053.
That's definitely dead.
But then we see him just the way he came
in, he drives out of Castle Rock, and then we get
the reverse Beetlejuice.
Yes. Like it's just the, I think they just fucking
played the same footage backwards of the
lighthouse and coming up the water. But it also disappears.
The car disappears before it. Oh, yes.
That's cool. Yeah, it hits the castle, you know,
now entering Castle Rock sign coming the other way.
And like, hold it a little longer
because it is a quick, like,
like it just disappears.
I didn't even notice this. Yeah.
It's a cool, like, effect, but show, you know, it's like a cheap,
are you afraid of the dark special effect?
Hold my hands.
But that is the end of this movie, this overly long Stephen King adaptation.
We'll go around the horn here for some final thoughts.
Mr. Siska.
It's a no for me.
No, I recommend just because it's, I feel so bloated.
It feels like, it's like when Mr. Burns can't get sick because all the diseases are going to
off.
Yes, they're all going in the door at the same time.
I just feel like this is so overstuffed that I don't know where to focus on it.
And I guess maybe this three-hour cuts what I need to see.
There's more stuff in it, that's for sure.
Do you think it works better as a full-length?
Yes, it does.
It absolutely does.
Okay, I'll put that on my never list.
You don't really don't have to bother with it.
I don't have to bother with it.
You don't have to bother with it.
But if you're a kinghead, I feel like you should check it out.
If you're Harris head, I think it's worth seeing for a Harris head out there.
If you want some side-out sides.
Some fun side-out seconds.
So, you know, it's, I guess it's border.
It's not a record. I was still bored with it.
There you go. Chris Cabin.
I'll go on this. I was a light recommend because of this cast.
This cast is so fucking good.
And they really do bring you home with all this stuff.
Like, I don't think any of this would work.
If you don't have J.T. Walsh.
You don't have Amanda Plummer.
If you don't have Ed Harris here, if you don't have Max Fonsido here, this thing does not work.
But you got them all here.
So it does work.
So I kind of give it all on that.
There you go.
Steve Sadeck.
Definitely on the light recommend tip as well.
I think the story is kind of fun.
it's not well realized in terms of like again
it should just be a Twilight Zone thing
Unrealized
Unrealized
Make it streamlined
I'm sure the novel is much better
Or maybe it's not
I don't know
But it's also this thing where like
I think it's on the better half
Of Stephen King adaptations
Because it's not a TV movie
It's got a great cast
It looks pretty good
Again it's very
It's just competent in most of it's
in the ways you want it to be you could do worse it could also be a little shorter for sure yeah now
it's a recommend for me i wouldn't say a hearty recommend it's a i i've admitted it a nostalgia driven
recommend but yeah if you're a king person this is great this is honestly like if you're a king
person that also enjoys hangover movies you can kind of just like nestle into this
fucker watch some good you know explosions at the end watch some good performances and so on so
i mean there's things about it just for me and like my head canon it is just like
just like Stephen King
adaptation in the 90s, I was there for
them and this was one that I rented
multiple times, I never owned it, but I never really rented
Needful Things multiple times. So
you know, do with that all what you will, gentle
listener, but that is the end of our discussion
about Charlton Heston's son's
adaptation of Needful Things, Fraser
Heston of course. But if you want more
