Welcome to a side order of slees.
My name is Andrew Jup, and I am here alongside Stephen Sadek and Eric Siska, fellas.
Yeah.
Wow.
Bringing the enthusiasm to a side order of Slees.
I don't know how.
excited i should be about this movie i feel a little uncomfortable that i like it so much yeah it kind
makes you feel like a real scumbag uh so before we get going for the uninitiated this is the third
week in our what does we hate movies have to offer you month uh we had a live episode last week
uh and the week before that we had a what we called w hm prime now a side order of slees eric
would you explain to the good people what a side order of slees is well there are movies that are a little
darker and dirtier than
we usually do on the main show
and we kind of don't do a whole
episode on them. It's a little different of a feel
and, you know, we're going to
release these every once in a while on
the app, which is only
$2. That's correct. The app
and simultaneously the
Bancamp page. Right.
WHMpodcast.bancamp.com.
So, yeah, we go through,
we talk about the movie. We, of course, crack
some jokes. We tell you what the movie's about.
And then at the end, we decide
the rating on what we call
the sleezometer, one
being a pretty tame sleazy movie
and 10 probably being a snuff
film. Thankfully, we have
not reached 10 in the
handful of episodes we've done here.
I don't know if we ever will.
Well, I'm not watching a snuff movie unless it's like
on accident. Well, I didn't mean an actual
stuff. But you know, there's some...
I got a line on this movie that
Nicholas Cage is trying to sell me.
I don't know. We'll see what happens.
Some dirty old Colonel made it.
This whole episode being on the regular app
It's kind of like that week
When you're flipping through your cable package
You're like, holy shit, I get stars
And you're like, oh no I don't
Oh wait, no I don't
What are those preview weekends
Yeah, those are bullshit
I fell for those all the time
I'm like, Dad, we finally got showtime
No, we don't
Shut up, Fatso
Go play football, but that's show time
Exactly
So the film in question
is 1984's
school spirit.
It's a Roger Corman
produced picture.
It's a college boob
comedy, your classic
you know, Slobs versus Snob's
college comedy with a paranormal
twist. It's kind of exciting
to get a comedy on side order of
sleaze. I never thought we'd find one, but this
one is
hooey. It's
it's, it's, uh, yeah.
It's pretty sleazy. I've been watching a lot of
chopped and this is kind of like
you know the entree round
you get like okay college comedy
you get one little thing you get like
okay you know snobs versus slabs
oh I like that and then one's like
ghosts you get that last one
it's like oh he's going to really have to be creative
to use the ghosts oh he's really
going to have to dig into his bag of tricks to figure
out how this ghost is going to come into play
and then you also get dangerously
close to rape scenarios
shit that's the last element
and a bag of Doritos
I guess I would just swirl that in lightly.
I probably, you don't, you, you want the flavor to be present of potential rape,
but you do not want to go full on with it.
Yeah, a potential rape production, probably, and I saw it.
So the picture is about a fella named Billy Batson, who's not Captain Marvel.
Not Captain Marvel, yes.
So we need to make that very clear.
This is not a fucking Shazam movie.
I jumped down.
I was like, oh, my God, I did Shazam?
No.
Oh, my shit, I don't want.
Oh, no.
I'm going to rape that girl.
Probably.
So it's about not Shazam.
He's a college student.
He really wants to get laid.
That's the whole thing of this movie is this dude just wants to have sex.
And one fateful night while he's out trying to get a condom, he dies in a car accident.
Right.
He's getting a condom because he was about to have sex in the crusty old dean's office
because this is still firmly one of those college movies.
it's so i mean we were talking about this uh man we just don't get these kinds of college movies
anymore like we get like i guess like van wilder was kind of a throwback but like fucking
national lampoon is really just sort of ruined it's gone to softcore pornography it just went
over the deep end it just drove into the grounds you know right into the ground they couldn't
even bother to pepper in any ghosts while they were at it that's the thing is like and this movie
kind of succeeds in a way because it's able to find at least some of the balance
between the TNA and the comedy with the you know the school comedy stuff but like I feel like
the lot of those those national lampoon straight to video movies are just like they don't even they
don't they don't care about the comedy I'll let you I'll let you know secret folks they don't care
they're not paying the bills with yucks I'll tell you that much but that's I mean it's true though
like those movies you you put on naked mile or whatever those American pie ones are that's like
kind of the same thing.
It's all soft-cropornography.
And it's like, yeah, like, you know,
oh, my God, Lesbos.
They're like, oh, my God, she's sucking
his dick. And, like, those are the
things that replaced the kind
of, and, you know, this movie aside, because
there's really weird ghost rape stuff in this
movie. But these 80s
college movies, and these, like, late 70s
college movies had that, like, it really
was shenanigans. And there's
a difference between, like,
Penny Raid and, like,
are you asleep? There's a big
difference and like these 21st century directed DVD boob comedies are way more on the side of
are you asleep than you know running into the girls locker room or like oh no he's put a
bucket of cold water in the shower yeah that's fun those are shenanigans this movie gets down
this is like this guy's kind of like ted bundy you know what i mean it's it's yes it's very
uncomfortable like the the methods he employs go in his corporeal form and his non-corporal
for him.
What he's willing to do to women.
So he was trying to have sex in that office.
He goes to get the condom.
He dies.
He's looking at the condom while he's driving.
He's like, yeah, I got the condom.
And he's like staring at it.
Like trying to read the directions.
Like, eyes on the road, buddy.
If you want to fucking use this later.
By the way, he's put out to get a condom, okay?
Oh, God, she's asking for a condom.
What do you know I don't have a condom?
He does the biggest, like, bullshit runaround excuse to
because she's like, what do you mean you don't have a condom?
And he's like, well, why would I bring a condom?
Then you'd think that I was being presumptuous about what's going to go on here.
This is a much more organic, magical, romantic experience.
And she's like, wrap that dick up.
If I'm going to make a mistake, I'm going to make a little less of a...
I want to make a C-minus mistake, not a full-on F.
Yeah, totally.
I mean, this is still like pre-ish, the real AIDS epidemic.
But even still, it's getting in the streets now.
it's break it out a bit well i also keep in mind in addition to that there's also things called
babies yeah babies and crabs and herpes this guy this guy definitely must have had this guy's got
so many STDs as it is like i don't know why this chick's even with him in the first place
well she she's the snobby girl like you know she wants to be you know the dean the dean's like
you know second in command or whatever and his whole thing is like i'm gonna get her because
I'm like, I'm going to use my wily, shitty charms to get her.
Well, it's like, he's on this, like, he views college as an excuse for sexual conquest.
Yeah.
And I feel like, you know, he's, he looks upon the world and he's like, are there are no more lands to conquer?
Oh, wait, there's that nerdy chick that's kind of pretty.
Let me try to get in on that.
And, you know, he costs him his life.
It costs him dearly.
Can we just say that this guy's 38 years old
And this movie was filmed
Yes, when this movie was filmed
The actor was indeed 38 years old
And most of everyone else is too
Yeah, he's not 21 years old
He's not
But you know
There are people that can pull that off
Like you cast older
But they still look
I mean this guy has like Joan Rivers Crow's feet
He is really clearly
A middle aged man
playing this like 20 year old horn dog and uh yeah today he's in the year 2013 he's actually
considered a senior citizen the actor is he's 65 years old he retired to become a high school
principal i believe yeah yeah he was run out of the business the business hey it's that kid
from school spirit get out of this casting office perfect although he did have a small role in
batman begins oh really it's like a valet oh yes when bruce wayne goes to the hotel
and he's acting like a dickhead with like the two babes and they like go swimming in the
fountain or whatever that's the only scene of the valet so he's got to be in there somewhere i assume he's
in there to look it up the only actual actor in this movie is larry linville r i p played major burns
on mash pretty funny guy you know the the major burns character was kind of like a stick in the mud
not surprisingly he's playing the stick in the mud crusty old college president in this movie
here's a question nudity can't be in scripts so i think you
When you get this script, it's like, oh, I'm just the dean in Animal House,
or I'm just the Dean in Revenge of the Nerds.
I could do that.
And then it's just like, well, why is that lady naked?
Why is that lady?
Oh, fuck.
They must write something.
I mean, they might not talk about, I don't know.
They must say, like, and then a nude girl.
Well, I would wager, you know, all the scenes that Larry Linville's in.
I mean, there's not really boobs going around.
Yeah.
So maybe if you're your Larry Linvilles or your Dean Wormer, I can't remember that actor's name.
But, like, if you're one of those dudes, maybe you're just,
this guy who's like, you know what, man, I'm only going to read the part that my agent highlights
for me. I don't care what this moves. Oh, why? He's a fucking ghost. That's great. I don't
care. Do I have to be a ghost? I'll be a ghost. I don't care. That's how you probably get
into these situations. Like, you know, the agents are just like, Larry, listen, you know, it's a college
comedy. It's going to be the next porkies. I think like all of these people are sold on it's
going to be the next porkies. It's going to be the next animal house or whatever. And it's not. It's
school spirit you can't tell because they're a dime a dozen they all look the same until you
watch the movie so he croaks and then the way this system works is a ghost you know comes to
escorts you to the afterlife right and this is his uncle pete uncle pinky okay okay
it's a big difference now is that name what is that name from that can't be on his birth certificate
It's probably because when I snuck into your bedroom, there's only one finger I needed.
Yep, that's it.
That's the reason.
Whatever, it's totally feasible that this old man is a child molester.
Don't look at me like that.
Well, I mean, like he says to Billy, like, don't you remember me?
I'm your uncle.
And then I, you know, I assume it's like, I used to always be at your house until your mom told me not to come around anymore.
Yeah, exactly.
That's, you know, don't you remember me?
No, I've burned you out of my brain.
Remember, I was excommunicated from the family.
What?
And then the Catholic Church, but that's for another day.
I've made some bad life choices.
And afterlife choices.
Yeah, so he's like his ghost liaison.
You know, he's like, listen, we got to get you to the afterlife.
And he's like, but Uncle Pinky, you like fucking.
That's what I'm trying to do is fuck this chick.
And he's like, well, we got some time.
Yeah, there's like a little bit of a lab.
I guess that you're allowed to just
kind of hang out and do stuff
There's like a line in front of the pearly gates
Like you're not gonna get in there for a day or two anyway
So you can he can manifest into human form
When he wants to he can go invisible
And he can go translucent
But I guess translucent is kind of the same thing
Is invisible
It's just to let us know that they're actually there
At acting
Yeah the ghost politics
Like the ghost physics
In this movie are very bizarre
But apparently all he has to do
is like waggle his hand on top of his head and he turns invisible.
But the whole thing that makes no sense and it's like why are you even putting a paranormal element
in this movie is that he can become corporeal.
He's holding drinks.
He's sunbathing.
He's trying to bang these chicks.
And not only that, it's like 89% of the movie is just him being a chuggelag house guy.
You know what I mean?
Like he has some fun.
He's like, oh my God, I'm a ghost.
This is going to be a lot of fun, right?
movie and they're like yeah movie and like it just drops and it turns he's just a dude they
totally throw out the whole ghost thing i think they were like writing this movie and they're like
well wait a second there's no possible way he can score if he's a ghost what we've really
written ourselves into a corner here oh wait what if he flaps his hand above his head then he can
turn into a person for some reason that melvin is why word processors have backspace button
What's funny, though, is it's kind of the same physics as that shitty RIPD movie.
In that movie, the ghost cops, like the RIPD, are able to become visible to humans, but they just look like different people.
Like Jeff Bridges is like a hot chick or something like that, if I remember correctly.
I mean, it's really stupid.
You remember correctly.
Yeah.
Oh, I remember correctly.
But it's that same kind of thing is like, we have ghosts in our movie, but we can't be bothered to.
have them actually be ghosts so we're going to invent some dumb rule that makes them people so they
can just function like people question for the group yes better person kevin bacon and hollow man or
this guy oh this guy kevin bacon's like raping people outright and he's trying to murder people this
guy now it seems like he's going to commit all these crimes against these women but he i guess he
doesn't i guess he just masturbates in the shower watching them yeah he ghost masturbates absolutely he
only goes after initially, like the woman who's already given him the go-ahead to have
sex. But this dude is like, listen, this chick gave me the go-ahead. I happen to die in a car
accident. That doesn't invalidate this go-ahead. That does invalidate the go-ahead. That's
the end of it. That ticket expires right then and there, man. No, no, no, no. Why does it,
though? So he dies in a car accident. But in this ghost world, he's able to come back and be a
like full-bodied human and she can touch him and feel him. Why does he have to come
come clean about being dead. Who cares?
All right. Other situation.
You get the go-ahead from somebody.
Or somebody, not even you, Andrew. I'm not going to put you on the spot.
John A. gets the go-ahead from a lady.
Yes.
Then all of a sudden she gets a phone call and a family member dies.
And she's like, this is ending.
I got to go to the funeral.
You can't just show up at the funeral and be like, hey, the go-ahead's still going, right?
I'm still rock hard.
That's completely different.
One, apparently throughout this entire movie, they don't know that he's dead.
they only find out like they only get word from the hospital like 10 minutes before the movie's over with
and i don't even think that happens i think it's like he comes clean like by the way remember that
car accident i totally died this is just like he comes back like hey baby i got that rubber and
she's like no it's morning now i have class and the rest of the movie until he falls in love with
this other woman is just him like pursuing this chick she is you know not hip to the situation
so therefore she doesn't have any sense of loss
like as if she's traveling to a funeral
I see what you're saying
I think if we had an official
the game is still on
I think all go-aheads expire
right then and there
what does it matter that he's dead
who cares? It doesn't matter anything
it's a bad movie
here's the thing the go-ahead is a very limited window
and the next day
sure you're allowed to attempt that
but you should
you be you should be
anticipating resistance
You're going to go ahead every time.
Right.
You have to work up to the new go ahead.
But that's what I'm saying.
That's what he does.
But she keeps pursuing.
And she's still in play, sure.
And flirting with her and whatnot.
He doesn't.
Because listen, you made the comparison to Kevin Bacon.
Guess what Kevin Bacon does in that movie.
Get over here.
That's what happens in that movie.
Oh my God, Scorpion.
Mortal Kombat.
Yeah, he throws a harpoon rope at somebody.
No, here's the thing.
Who would you rather be?
Billy Batson or Halloman.
I'd rather be scorpion.
No, because scorpion's like a fire skull.
Oh, you prefer sub-zero?
Yeah.
I prefer the cold weather to the hot weather.
They're all ghosts.
Hollow man?
Or this, or this ghost that's trying to get some?
The ghost is the best of all worlds because you're a human being.
You have all the ghost powers, and whenever you want, you know, you just do the thing.
Just flip it on and up.
Well, here's the difference.
Hollow Man's smart.
This guy's dumb as a brick.
Yeah, oh, do I have to be this clown?
Absolutely not.
I don't know that you shoot me in the head right now.
Well, I feel like wasn't that also part of the hollow man story,
which is also part of the Invisible Man's story,
is the idea that, like, being invisible drove him mad with this, like, you know,
I thought science drove him mad, mad with the desire for sex
because he spent his life with test tubes.
But he's still a scientist that looks like Kevin Bacon.
Yep, so he's never getting laid.
Man, how do you...
Speaking of skull faces.
I was going to say, speaking to RIPD, how do you not advertise that Kevin Bacon's the bad guy in that movie?
It's the same thing with that first class.
Oh, the X-Men movie.
Yeah, no fucking hide nor hair, Kevin Bacon of those previews.
And he's like the best part of, well, not the best part, but he's good in X-Men first class.
And he might be the best part of RIPD.
I don't know.
He's most definitely the best part of RIPD.
Second best part of RIPD, the voice Jeff Bridges uses because it's fucking ridiculous.
So this movie, another thing that's going on here is the campus celebrations that we have.
And this is, you know, again, kind of another standard thing.
It's like, well, it's sort of like spring fling, homecoming, whatever.
In this movie, it's just Hog Day.
The Hog Day celebrations that we have.
Because you've got to be a fucking pig the entire time.
You got to be a pig if you go to this school.
You just jerk off wherever you want to.
I guess that's what it is.
Welcome to fucking Everisley, where everyone does.
jerks off once a year.
Is that the name of the college?
I just made that up.
It sounds pretty prestigious.
I think the college is actually called school.
And that's it.
Welcome to school university.
Oh, Dad.
Did you print the script without change the name back to the placeholder?
Oh, fuck.
They just said it.
Dude, did you also gave, you didn't change that character's name from Shazam?
you left that shit
this movie's gonna die on the table
oh did you take out all those pages where he's a ghost
no you know what
dude let's just see if it happens man
let's just submit it let's just see if it happens
boys here's five million dollars
make this movie happen
oh man now we have to do it
there's also a weird side plot in this movie
where a some sort of
French ambassador is donating
a bunch of money to build like some new like business school or some shit and like what's his
face larry linden larry lindville dean grimshaw dean grimshaw is really sweating it because like
you know he needs he needs this dedication grimshaw yeah he's an incompetent school oh yeah he's a blunderer
if there was ever a blunderer i mean this movie you know there's no reason for us to go through
it all the way it's your standard college boob comedy there's a bunch of shenanigans
where the ghost is trying to get laid, but he's also, this is what's stupid about this movie,
is carrying on his day-to-day college activity, such as being the, you know, president and ambassador
to the campus for Hog Day.
Yeah, and Hog Day is a really big celebration, you know, where again, anything can happen,
such as jerking off wherever you feel like it.
That's it.
That's Hog Day.
That's all Hog Day is.
They have, they've got like a lube slip and slide.
it is i mean this is a sexed up college campus but the problem is it's you're right it's the college
campus because like if you've got a party with a lube slide it's at barry's apartment
not at the fucking the student center you know like you can't just start throwing loob slides out
there this might have been the dining hall this world kind of exists it's kind of almost the
ghostbusters universe like this is the same do you think the woman that
gives Ray stands a blowjob
is this kind of a ghost?
Yeah, probably, right?
Because she appears over the bed
in more or less corporeal form.
She's not as translucent as some of the specters
in this film. But she is flying
over the bed and has like wispy
rags for clothes or whatever.
But, you know, she blows him.
That's all there. She died with a den
acroid fetish. These hornedog
ghosts. I think,
now, this might be more of a
blame on outer space thing, but I think
Incubis? Incubuses? Yep, Incubi.
Yeah, they're like sex murder ghosts, right? They're like rape ghosts.
They sex you up and they kill you.
Wait, now you're thinking of a succubis.
I think it's the same thing. Sucubus is women, incubus are men.
Oh, really?
Yep. Oh, I didn't know that.
Oh, wow.
How about that?
Two sides of the same sexy coin.
Yeah, you're right, though. I think in this movie, Billy Batson is indeed an incubus.
And the ghost that sucks off Dan Aykroyd is a succubus.
Can we talk about the most repugnant scene in the movie, which is...
We're just talking about it.
Literally capped that one off.
I won't keep talking about that until the day I die.
Until the day I become a blowjob goes.
Come on.
You're a slimer.
So my.
You're looking at a trio of slimers.
So many hot dogs.
I'll tell you this, though.
What I've always wanted to see more of,
Because that blowjab scene, what it is, is a whole deleted segment of the Ghostbusters script.
Presumably, they shot this.
It's not on the deleted scenes of the DVD or anything, but it's a sequence where the Ghostbusters are called to this cabin on a case.
Like, that's why, I mean, it's just a random thing.
Like, why are they out of New York City in this fucking cabin, getting his dick sucked?
It's because they got called out there.
So it's probably like, you know, Westchester, maybe somewhere on Long Island or something.
And he's getting blown by this ghost.
I want to see the Ghostbusters going on a whole lot.
vacation haunted weekend it's just it's a damn shame that third movie's not going to have it
that's what apparently was it all was all blowjobs oh man really i i don't cross the stream
i don't need anyone telling me that ghostbusters three is about to happen can we just put a cap
on that i think i've ranted about this before on this show but can we please stop talking but would
we even want it to happen like what happened to indiana jones i know if
happened to Star Wars. Look what happened to Ghostbusters 2 everybody.
That is one of, you know, Steve, our, our friendship has had a lot of highs, but the lowest low is
when you explained to me that in fact, Ghostbusters 2 is a bad movie. And I was like,
you're crazy, Sadak. And then I went and watched it and I was like, that son of a bitch is
right. Yeah, I mean, it's that nostalgia trip. Sometimes you get trapped up in it. But honestly,
I think the opening of Ghostbusters 2
would have been a good idea for Ghostbusters 3
because it's like I feel like Ghostbusters 2
not enough time has passed for them to be reduced
to doing children's birthday parties
but if they were doing a third movie
like 20 years later
they'd be washed up losers
having to like redeem themselves
I think that would have been
you're absolutely right
all right so the most repugnant
moment of the film
sorry from 10 minutes ago
the most repugnant moment
So, I mean, Uncle Pinky is like ten steps behind Billy, who's just trying to, you know, Billy's chasing after this lady, and Uncle Pinky's like, oh, come on, Billy, and the pearly gates are waiting for you.
But he himself, being an old horn dog, side note, my least favorite trope in anything ever is an old horn dog that women find adorable.
So you hate every George Burns movie ever made?
Abs of fucking lootling.
and so he's he keeps getting all like sidestepped himself and there's this awkward scene it's like
the ghost busters blowjop scenes why i thought of it because this woman's sleeping and this
creepy old ghost starts touching her feeling her up like he's like the conjuring he's like biting
her yeah he uh he actually exposes her breasts and he starts to feel up her thigh and then
oh no it's my ghost boss
Yes, that's right, everybody. He's interrupted by his ghost supervisor who instructs him to go to, he's in, he's raiding like a sorority house. And he tells Uncle Pinky that he needs to get back downstairs because the house mother played by Mrs. Seinfeld, the actress who played Mrs. Seinfeld, is about to die. So this dude's got to go hang out with her till she bites it. And he's like, oh, fine. And he huffs downstairs. And then the supervisor is like,
well speaking of no one's looking and then just like does up his shirt collar and walks into this sleeping woman's room hey thanks for warming her up for me it's terrifying these fucking ghosts run a ghost train on her it's disgusting now i when they're now and this might answer a lot about billy i don't know but when they are in their translucent ghost form or invisible do these women feel their advances
or
you know
they do
she keeps like
brushing him off
yeah she's like
no
no
oh it's cold
close the window
so wow
that's really
I would wake up
be like
something is
raping me
right now
I don't know
what it is
I'm not sure
what it is
or how it is
but I'm being
raped by now
there is something
inside of me
right now
and I'm trying
to get up
but there seems
to be
85 pounds
in my way
it's just
repugnant
and despicable.
I mean, between this movie and like Ghostbusters blowjob ghost,
if it wasn't for Ghost with Patrick Swayze,
I'd think most ghosts were rapists.
Yeah.
It's a weird ghost mentality.
He's a ghost monogamous that Patrick Swayze.
He just wants to get back to Demi Moore and, you know,
tell her he's going to miss her.
Oh, you know what also is big?
Ghost murderers.
Ghosts love to kill people.
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, like those horror movies?
Forget about it, man.
Yeah, you know, those horror movies.
I mean, I don't even know what this is.
I mean, like, the movie goes on and it happens.
I mean, Hog Day happens.
Here's the thing that we found out.
Steve, your new favorite band is in this movie.
The gleaming spires.
They are a real band featuring a dude who later went on to be in Devo.
It's fantastic.
It's a new wave band.
They're just, and this is something that doesn't really happen in movies anymore either,
although it was featured in grownups too but that movie's all made by people who loved the 80s so it makes sense but like real live bands just like playing a party like playing a college party or whatever and these dudes were a real band and they're just in this movie playing and you can go and buy records like I think that's a really interesting thing like if you're a band you know it's kind of like when the boss tones were in clueless right it's just like hey be in this movie you don't have to do anything or like really
big fish and basketball it's like we'll put your face out here everyone's going to see this
movie go boingo back to school absolutely like donna bringing color me bad to the peach pit
how's that the 902 one oh it's done i got into the intolerable parts after luke perry leaves
because they killed his wife oh yeah oh yeah that mafia hit it's really good and then he goes
away and the show just kind of loses all its luster and they fill it with dead faced people
that show had no business bringing in the mafia by the way not at all supposed to be about rowdy teens just trying to get by that show had no business talking about the la riots yeah well you know everybody had something to say about the la riots steve something to say about something all right so this movie comes to an end it's the hog day celebration and this is where again the ghost physics are so all over the place in this movie so he has sex with the french girl he tells all his friends that he's
dead and he's a ghost and they're like
no you're kind of a liar and he's like
he's been corporeal for at this point for
an hour. Literally an hour.
It's like you've left my Satan a week.
What the hell are you talking about? He hangs
up his ghost hat in the middle of the movie. It just
is a person. So he shows them
is the only way you're going to believe me.
Okay, I'm going to dingle my fucking
hand in front of my face. And
now I'm invisible and they're like
kind of sad but not really because they're all
idiots. Yep. And so he goes
and has sex and then it's like, all right,
That's the end of that.
The daughter of the French millionaire declares, like, the one stipulation for donating the money is that Hog Day has to become a school-wide holiday where they get it off.
And every year there's going to be a big party celebrated at the Dean's House.
And they just have a big party.
And then this is where the ghost shit comes in again.
You're like, oh, yeah, he's a ghost.
Right.
I got a question.
Yeah.
Ghost sex.
Uh-huh.
Now, can you train?
As a ghost, can you transfer sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancies?
Or are this just dead sperm?
Or is it like non-existent sperm?
I hear shooting blanks.
I don't know what's going on inside this guy, to be quite honest with you.
I don't know if he's got blood.
I don't know if he's got semen.
I don't know if he's got herpes.
The government needs to capture one of these ghosts and cut it open.
Because if they could go corporeal, so long.
Let's start with Uncle Pinky.
Get him off the street.
Yeah, totally. He needs to be in the containment unit, Toot Sweets.
If there was ever a case for the Ghostbusters, because in those movies, except for, like, you know, when they're fighting Zool and Vigo the Carpathian, like the real bad dudes, right?
Like, it's all like, oh, no, the ghost is throwing a ball down the stairs.
It's like a lot of not that scary situation.
They're scary pranks.
Yeah, but if you've got, like, a ghost that's committing sex.
crimes? Yep. The Ghostbusters have to
prioritize that shit. That's a
level five. We got one.
And it's really dangerous
to society.
So they put them in the containment unit.
It's like, oh, hey there,
you are here. Look all green and pudgy.
I like that more pushing for the cushion.
It's like all these ghosts are trying
to now get out of the containment unit
because you put in this sex offender that's like
trying to rape everybody.
Zool walks by, it's a lesbian
and he keeps walking.
Goes back to smoking his ghost cigar, by the way.
Least favorite fucking stereotype horny old man.
And they're all the same.
Like, he's got a cigar.
He's got that reporter hat.
He's the checker jacket.
He's probably talking about horse racing in some fashion.
I can't.
I got no fucking patience for it.
You're right.
It is terrible.
If there's ever euthanasia, forking around.
Light up a bunch of horny old man and just say, you know what grandpa, you're talking.
is past.
How about a firing squad?
I'm fine with it.
Whoa.
Make horny ghosts at all of them.
That'll really help social security.
Well, the great thing would be all those horny old men would have if they were getting like the Kovorkian suicide machine.
Like they'd all have the same clever like one last one liner.
Talk about pushing off.
They just die.
I'll be back as an incubus.
Death is about a one.
window, time a door.
I'll be back.
That's too poetic
for dementia.
Spontaneous combustion, woe is me.
Incubis.
I figured you'd get that.
Oh, well, fuck it.
So the uncle has to rush him to the
pearly gate. Oh, right. We've got to go back to the
hospital because that's where you
died and that's where the fucking
the portal's going to be.
Or whatever. By the way, we haven't talked about
but he dies in a car accident.
Not a scratch on him.
Just not even a fucking, not a dent.
Yeah, when he sits up on that table,
he's just handsome 40-year-old Billy Batson.
It would be great if he was trying to get laid missing an arm.
Exactly.
It's like a bloodied limb.
Like, it's like Beetlejuice.
His face is hanging off or something.
That's what I want.
I would love it if he died and then his ghost looked like
when Alec Baldwin pulled his face out and he looks like Spy v. Spy.
Yep. That's, see, that's a challenge.
challenge. Get laid like that, Billy Batson. I dare you. I double ghost dare you.
I guarantee that could happen because you just write in the script. You'd just be like,
yeah, it's a really crazy Hog Day costume. Right? Right? Because there's people with pig masks and
Halloween costumes. There's a legitimate blackula at Hog Day. There is a blackula at Hog Day.
I will say more moral of a character, Uncle Pinky or Beetlejuice? I think Beetlejuice. I think
Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice doesn't dittle anybody.
Oh, absolutely. Yeah, you know, yes.
Yes, Beetlejuice believes
in marriage. He does. He wants
to marry without a writer.
He believes in the sanctity of marriage.
He believes, clearly in
alternative marriages, because he believes in a
fucking ghost demon marrying a
fucking 16-year-old girl.
But also, Beetlejuice
is just a guy at the end of the day
who loves a solid
prank. That's
all Beetlejuice is. He's not, you're
Right. He's not diddling anybody.
He's also trying to provide a service that is good to his fellow dead.
Yeah, he's got his job.
Adjusting to the afterlife and so on.
And like, oh, you want your house cleared out of the living?
Like, I totally get that.
You know, obviously you want your own space.
You're allowed to have your own apartment, right?
Yeah.
Ghost rights.
Ghost rights movement that Beetlejuice led in 19, whatever.
I kind of always wanted a spin off of the little ghost
priest in Beatle Zeus. He was my favorite character. Oh, that little, like, alien thing? He's like,
dearly beloved. And he's, like, so tiny and amazing. How many episodes of that Beetlejuice cartoon did
you guys watch? 1.4. Like, really, nothing. Really? I've seen, like, probably all of it. I was
obsessed with it. The more Beetlejuice, the better, man. That's a movie that, that's a cartoon that
just totally forgets that ending. It's like, they're best pals. They live in the house.
But fuck it
It's fine
We don't send him back
To the sand hell or whatever
So speaking of sand hell
The end of this movie
So they're at the hospital
The pearly gates are there
And the fucking ghost supervisor
Is just like
Well I'm sorry Pinky
You failed me again
And he's like
Sorry Billy
I guess it didn't work out this time
I did my best
See you never again
And he keeps going
Like sorry
I'm so sorry
And I'm like, oh my God, is he like, damned?
Did he just damn his own nephew?
I'm like, there's a white light there.
You're thinking he's ascending to heaven.
And then he's like, oh, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry for what's about to happen to you.
Like when that light is being extinguished, you're like, all right, Willie Lopez, here come the fucking black demon ghost things.
Like shadow demons, you're dead, Willie.
Like, here it comes.
No, he is his punishment for fussing around on this plane of.
existence longer than he should have after his passing is to just go back in his body and be
alive again he jumps up he's alive everyone's happy and it's just like i'm so sorry billy i i didn't
tell you there's no such thing as hell so the other thing by the way is this whole movie we're like
all right he's a ghost he's dead yep he's a dead person who's now a ghost
the hospital has apparently been keeping this corpse on life support the entire movie
because he just sits up and he's got like an oxygen mask on and he's like where am I
they declare him dead they don't say oh my god you know he's brain dead or like he's in a deep
coma like oh he's a fucking dead guy call it nurse yeah they call it at the car accident scene he's
at the hospital he's on the table I mean he's perfectly fine but yeah he should be in the
morgue at this point but he's just in this hospital bed he's
He's got a gown on.
All his friends run in.
They're like, yeah, way to cheat death, Billy.
It'd be great, though.
It's like, I'm sorry, Billy.
I'm so sorry.
And he goes back in his body, and he's like, all right, I totally beat death.
And then he starts walking around, and he slowly starts to decay.
Yes.
That would be awesome.
Do you think that was like the actual ending, but they just did not have the budget for it?
And they're like, all right, we can't afford the effect of him crumbling to pieces.
But you know what we can afford?
totally fun dance party
montage over these credits
this dance party montage
kind of makes the movie awesome
in a way it always makes
a movie better if you have like
at the end of a raucous
comedy no matter what
if you do the title cards of each character
they each get their own little highlight
I kind of like your movie better every time
absolutely because it makes me forget
all the dog shit that I was sitting through
and I'm like all right here's this gleaming spire
song yeah we're rocking
out to like 80s new wave and everybody's just having a blast bucket the k y slide comes back it's
great it's a fun time your movie goes from an f to an f plus it's fantastic um i would totally
recommend this movie um that might make me sound like uh an incubus but i'm not not yet anyway
soon enough and you know it's it's it's it's kind of fun it's dumb it's short it's you know
If you're looking for the whole, like, T&A comedy genre, that's what this is, do a T.
I don't think it's too sleazy besides the rapometer.
But, I don't know, three, two.
I mean, it's dirty.
I'm not going to tell you you're rating it too low.
No.
You're the gold standard of.
Now, Andrew, you're the real scumbag in the room.
Yeah, no, I think that's totally fine rating it low, Steve.
I would say, I'd recommend it.
It's a fun, goofy, porkies.
You know, again, you have to know what you're in for.
It's a porkies.
It's a Revenge of the Nerds.
A little sleazier, for sure.
I would go so far as a seven on the Sleezzo meter.
Nice, all right.
Insofar as this is, I don't, like, the nudity in this movie is pretty softcore.
You know what I mean?
It's not like, there's no, like, real actual sex scenes or anything like that.
There's no sex scenes.
It's straight up boobs and you get nothing below the belt.
You get a dude's, you can see Billy Batson's butt a whole lot.
There is a distinct lack of consent in certain scenes.
That's the problem.
Here's the difference is it's if ever the movie says, you know what Uncle Pinky, you're a monster and you're going to hell.
This gets down to a two or a one or a one on the sleeves of a meter.
But the fact that this movie just turns a blind eye to his shenanigans, Billy Batson is employing
all sorts of like creepy rape tactics to get his women like he just he tricks this woman into
his apartment there's all sorts of creepiness going on it's got to be a seven for me okay uh
i would recommend this movie again like steve said you have to know what you're getting into
this is an 80s boob comedy right off the bat yes there's also some extracurricular paranormal
law breaking going on and for that i'm going to split the difference in say a five because all
the Billy Bats and stuff, I mean, it's the nature of the character. He's just a horn
dog idiot, and that's what he's going to do. I think there's a distinct difference between
what that dude is doing and what the reprehensible Uncle Pinky Ghost is doing. Because, yeah,
that guy, they call him Pinky for a reason, and there's at no point where this dude's ghost
or his soul or whatever is dragged to hell. It's totally stupid 80s boob comedy. So if you like
those. This is a hidden
Roger Corman gem that everyone's forgotten. It was
directed by a guy named
Alan Hollab. Shockingly, this was
the last film he ever directed.
RIPD.
I don't think he's dead.
He just didn't get to direct
other movies like RIPD.
I think he may have been in the running, though.
Or school spirit two through four.
Yeah, I didn't look up
to see if this movie had any sequels, but I doubt
it. I really doubt it.
If anyone knows,
sticking right into the mail bag, let us know.
