No, no, no. I don't think so at all.
No way.
So anyway, patreon.com slash we hate movies.
Now let's get to the letter reading.
Steve Zadag, do you want to start us off?
Oh, absolutely.
With the first mailbag of the season, so there should be a little bit of fanfare here.
Yeah, breaking point.
Letter is called Breaking Point.
Hey, gang, glad you exist.
Oh, me too.
What if we don't?
You're all connoisseurs of terrible.
movies, but there are obviously some that are so bad that you truly can't stand them.
My question is, what was the first movie to be too bad to enjoy?
What finally broke you and you just couldn't be enjoyed no matter how hard you tried?
For example, my friend can tolerate some real garbage, quoting the Mortal Kombat movies
is some of his all-time favorite movies.
All right.
But he finally met his match with Yuval's Blood Rain.
Oh, sure.
saying it made him vomit blood
Goblin vomit blood
To watch it all the way through
Was your guys first experience with something so terrible
Signed Spencer
I'll tell you right now
Oh I'm sorry I cut you off
Because it is like when you're a kid
You just assume every movie's good
You consume it like a fucking moron
This is a good movie
It's gotta be a good movie
It's a movie of some kind
Somebody made all this movie for me
I gotta watch it I gotta like it
It took me a long time
And I'm not saying this was the first time
But this is a thing
Like not the first time I realized
what a bad movie was. I don't think
what he's asking here. And I feel this
can correlate to like either
stopping a VHS tape, throwing a DVD
at the window, or leaving a theater. And leaving a
theater, for me, the
nadir of me
watching a movie in the
theater and just saying,
no!
Was don't mess with the Zohan.
I walked right
the fuck out of that movie. Oh, that's a good
one. Right about the time he was
just hitting people with feet
I was fucking done with it
I mean that was just one of the stupidest movies
and I mean I've sat through some stupid movies
man I still haven't seen it and I'm still happy
yeah you're good one of I mean
one of those movies that I was sort of like
building up I was like oh well you know I like the game
mistake number one oh yeah
and I was like oh this it's such it
the video game yeah the video game
and I was like oh you know it's actually
it would be better as a movie mistake number two
because it's like atmospheric
and it'll be kind of cool
the scene in a movie
and then I went and saw Resident Evil
Oh, that's a big fucking turd
That is one of the worst
Can you believe there's like five of those things?
There's still one more coming out or it just came out maybe
They're still making them
They just finally said goodbye
No well there was a I believe
I think they finally said goodbye
They did
Like the final season of MASH
They're waving as the helicopters
leave Korea. Milojovich took a bow and that big
reptile monster, whatever the fuck goes on in that movie? I think there was a
thing, and I might be mixing up movies here, but I think a stunt
woman was like gravely injured on that film and it was been like kind of
delayed and whatnot. But I think I just saw something that was
like a fucking photo of Milojovich and this fucking things. And I'm just like
how many? How many? Like you're going for a full on box set with
these movies. I mean, it's unbelievable.
Um, mine would be, I, uh, like Eric was super excited about this movie. And I was like, it's got to be good. It's, it's just got to be good. And it was because I really liked the first Mortal Kombat and I was there with some buddies. And I was like, it was mortal combat annihilation. And I just, and I just, and I was trying to get into it. You know what I mean?
That was actually a movie I walked out of. I was just like, like my, my fat little cheeks were getting hot, ready to cry with how bad this was.
movie was, man. By the way, if you're a new listener
that we did a previous episode on that film.
We did, indeed. We've done episodes
on both Mortal Kombat movies.
That's right. All right. Eric
Cisca, you want to continue on here? Oh, sure.
This one's called senioritis.
Hey. Dear W.HM,
huge fan of the show, first off.
Your podcast makes me laugh,
but it also makes me re-evaluate
movies that I may have initially ignored.
Thanks to you, Blind Fury
is now one of my favorite movies ever,
as it should be.
classic movie. I still haven't seen
that movie. Oh, you weren't on the episode. I wasn't on
the episode. I said, fuck those guys.
One of them rare Chris Cabin
episodes. Oh, legend has
it. He had a couple episodes.
You should check it out, though, because
it's, if you like record, how?
Of course I do. Do I got red blood in my vans
or what? Do you like henchmen get
their fucking ass handed to them?
Yes. Yeah, well, Blind Fury
is the movie for you. You got to check it out,
Steve. I expect a full report in the morning.
with you guys taking your summer break,
you talked a lot about the dreaded
senioritis. Well, I've got a tale
from my high school years. You may appreciate it.
It was the late 2000s.
Oh, late 2000s in high school. I'll be over here
committing suicide.
Now Andrew is dead.
You see that old man killed himself?
He's almost 33.
Yeah, well, you know,
You're not missing anything
if you check out of 33
everyone.
That's what Jesus thought.
And then he came back
and he instantly bounced.
Yeah, he's like, yeah, no.
Yeah, that was actually
the quote in my high school yearbook.
You're not missing anything.
Jesus.
You want to know what my actual
high school quote was?
Oh, yeah.
It was
because I was an asshole
and I just didn't care.
And I mean, it's not that funny,
but it is kind of,
if you look at my bad,
haircut and tuxedo jacket that they make you wear
the picture. Here
I am, rock you
like a hurricane. Oh, you
fucking asshole. That is
pretty great. Bravo.
That kid's got moxie.
So getting back
to this letter here.
And I was just a few days away from graduating
high school. Nobody,
nobody could give a shit
at that point. As was the
fashion all the time. Be it the students
or the teachers. We
watched movies in almost every class,
usually something tangently related to
the class, like watching Glory
in history, or drumline
in marching band. Come on.
Hit the fucking drum on the head
with that one. I mean, like, it's great. That's why
Glory was invented, really. Like, yeah, it's a movie, but like,
history classes will enjoy this. I definitely
saw that in history class.
Of course you did. Also, one of my
history teachers showed us an episode of
Star Trek The Next Generation. Oh, six.
which was the first time I ever saw that.
You remember which episode?
They go down to some arid planet that looks like Southern California.
Oh, that's like 57 of them.
It was one the guy said was good.
We'll get to it on WHM's Nexus.
Oh, right.
Patreon.
There you go.
Patreon.com slash we hate movies.
Continue.
Except for Earth Science class.
Now, first off, this was definitely a class for seniors who didn't give a shit.
It was basic material taught by a self-professed former flowers.
her child.
All right.
Yeah,
that actually my
earth science teacher
was the same way.
Cool.
He also went on
to be my
environmental science teacher
and you know what?
He played guitar.
Oh, man.
Legitimately cool dude.
Sounds like he's
in tune with the earth.
Oh, yeah, man.
Now,
this is,
for people who wanted
a class,
you could just sleep through
and still pass.
But it was still awesome
that, and the teacher,
Mr. V,
was really nice,
albeit a bit odd.
One time,
he told us,
he was camping and saw a bunch of trees producing fogs sick mr v hey mr v's sick story
bro this is not can you tell it again mr v oh man do you smell mr v's jacket this morning
when a kid asked him he had been drinking that night mr v said not drinking but smoking some
funny stuff oh yeah fuck yeah mr v mr v mr v is looking for the next job already
well dude he's playing in a band on saturday's and
fucking Maxine's Roadhouse
down the street. It's going to take off
just any day now. Any day now
his fucking foreigner cover band
is going to blow up. You could just call me
Mr. V. It's short for Mr.
Adventure.
So,
Mr. V
decides to
let us watch a movie
as I had ever heard of an Austrian
movie called Funny Games.
Hachy, Machie,
Mr. V. I would like to think
that Mr. V was a little more cultured
and knew what was going on here.
Yeah, Mr. V is pretty cool, man.
Well, I would like to think that Mr. V knows the score,
but it appears as if Mr. Vee's never seen this movie before.
If you're unaware, this movie is about two guys
who torture and murder or family of three.
It was intended as a criticism of violence
and how we react to it, which is all well and good,
but probably not the movie you want to watch
with a bunch of barely mentally their teens.
You know what?
Do you disagree? Michael Hanuket, not one for high school.
Classes.
One question.
No, everyone should watch the...
Now, if you're listening
in high school,
immediately rent this
and the white ribbon.
Yeah, the white ribbon.
Yes.
Oh, and a more.
It'll fucking sad you're right out.
Right.
There should be a class called
fucking what it's really like.
And then you just watch them.
Taught by Mr. Sadak, man.
And he shows you how Sally Mae
is going to fuck your face
for the next 30 years.
Oh, totally.
Then you watch Amor.
And then like you talk about
like how you're going to watch
relatives go.
You know what?
I mean, that's better than a study hall.
Dude, it's like, this is when it's like dealing with your neighbors and you put on
cachet.
Oh, yeah, dude.
I like this already.
What it's like, it's going to be, I'm going to, I'm going to pitch that.
Recreem for a dream.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, there you go.
So there's a very early scene where the father has his leg broken and it was at this
point, you could tell the mood in the classroom changed.
we were all watching this movie
with a mix of shock and horror
and it took three days to finish
dude you kept going back to it
if the first day is a little weird
Mr. V
go home and watch it
finish it
you know maybe glory is fine
well you know what
get a VHS tape out
and why don't you fucking tape
some Saturday night live reruns
off of Comedy Central
it's earth science put on like
fucking even Jurassic Park
which is very tangentially earth science
but at least there's like you know
Listen, Earth science, it's all the natural disaster movies.
There's a goddamn library.
You put volcano on.
The core.
The core.
Maybe the core is like a last digit.
The video stores out of the rest of it.
No, that's what gets you fired.
You could show funny games, but if you show the core in Earth's science, get the
fuck out of here, Mr. V.
You fucking hit me.
You're fucking fired.
Yeah, yeah, continue.
We'd all leave the classroom in absolute silence, never discussing the movie until the
end the fourth wall breaking the extreme violence it was too much for us to handle we were expecting
somebody like shrek two for god's sake shrek two shrek two with senioritis by the way you're all
17 or 18 years old let's grow the fuck up yeah just grow right up you maybe you needed fucking
this fucking movie funny games that's funny games straight you out yeah yeah that's right
we're shrek too no sorry you're in the what it's like classroom and in the what it's like
classroom everyone's susceptible to the violence that their neighbor can inflict on them that's
Dude, when I saw Shrek 1, when it was new, I was fucking livid watching that movie.
I was so, I've never been so angry at a movie before Shrek.
That was the first DVD I ever watched.
Oh, man.
I rent it.
I got, I remember it very clearly.
I got a pair of yellow sunglasses and a DVD player for Christmas one year, whatever that year is, probably 2001.
And I was like, oh man, got to go to the video store.
Rent my first DVD.
yellow sunglass.
And I listened to whatever
shitty shitty CD I put in my disc man.
Love it. I was like, I'm going to rent
Trek. Did you strut to the blockbuster?
Oh, of course I did. I was king of shit that day.
I was renting a movie on a disc, Andrew.
How could life get any better?
It's the future, man.
Can I tell you what my first DVD was and this is no fool?
I wish I had those yellow sunglasses.
John Carpenter's Halloween.
Oh, wow. Wow. Congratulations.
So my first DVD was, not, this is not talking about rental, I'm talking about owning.
Yeah.
It was Army of Darkness, but it was the director's cut, and I was so pissed off because
theatrical's better.
Yeah.
Do you throw it out?
Why did you just flip the disc?
Wasn't the theatrical?
No.
Oh.
No, no, no.
Anyway, let's finish Mr. V abusing these children.
But to quickly tell you what made me hate Shrek so much was the Macarena joke, so many years after
that.
Yes. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Big time. Big time.
Honestly, in that fucking song and dance, fuck those movies.
It's beginning of the end of computer animation.
I mean, like, there's been a lot of good computer animated movies since then, but not a lot more of bad ones.
Nope. At the end, Mr. V asked us what we thought.
Oh, Mr. V.
For a long time, nobody raised their hands.
So Mr. V stood up from his desk.
Oh, shit.
Guys, I'm really sorry.
Oh, man. I thought it was a comedy.
Oh, Mr. V.
What a bungle.
But after the first day, I really liked it, and I didn't want to stop watching.
Again, watching at home.
How busy are you, Mr. V?
I know Barry's got practice every night in his garage, but...
And I didn't have a tape player at home.
I hope you enjoyed it, too.
Wait a second, Mr. V, if I'm getting the timeline right here, the beginning of this
email, we were told that this was the late 2000s.
You don't have a, quote, tape player at home.
Wake up, Mr. V.
Maybe he had DVD.
That's entirely possible.
That's entirely possible.
DVD.
DVD.
Now, limited edition yellow sunglasses with you DVD.
Army of darkness.
Directors cut.
No theatrical.
Buy that separately.
Fat piece of shit.
That was it.
Two days later, we graduated.
It was basically the perfect send-off for this teacher.
I hope he plays that movie for every class of graduating kids.
Guarantee you he doesn't.
No, that was the last time Mr. V made that fucking flub.
Oh, Lord Almighty, Mr. V.
All right, here we go.
Mr. V to not stand for Mr. VCR player.
I'll tell you that much.
Yeah.
TVD.
Wrong movie story with bonus conspiracy theories.
Okay.
Hi, guys.
First, thanks for making one of my favorite podcasts ever and never failing to make me crack up inappropriately at work.
I was just listening to your latest mailbag
where we heard of the Joel Schumacher
run in that Steve trying to see
Spotlight and they put on the wrong film.
They sure did. Are you, what we were trying to see
and they put on Spotlight? I was trying to see
Spector. Oh, Spector and they put on Spotlight. The next one
alphabetically down. Speaking of Flubs.
Joel Schumacher run in and had
to share my own story of movie mixups at the
theater. Last year, my best friend and I
got ourselves tickets to a special
showing of Rear Window in Chicago.
Nice. I wonder if that was at the
music box theater. Great organization out there.
if that's what you're talking about.
Well, the theater was in Evanston.
Oh, never mind.
But we can be forgiven for the sake of seeing Hitchcock movies on a big screen.
I don't know why you're knocking Evanston, but whatever.
Evanston!
We're from New York City.
I don't know what that means, but we'll continue.
And we're very excited to see it in the theater.
We got in the theater, which was slightly more packed than expected,
mostly with older couples.
There were no previews, but of course, that was to be expected
with a revival showing of an old movie.
All right.
let's just let's just come on
how was the seat
I'm kidding I'm kidding I love you
here writer here we go
a proustine adventure here
however what came on the screen
looked more like someone's corporate educational video
with some guy some dude
in a turtleneck if I remember correctly
talking to us about strange natural phenomenon
and God and how the moon has been used
to predict disasters and strive for centuries
or some shit.
Was this, oh, I was going to say
Nasferatu, but that's wrong.
Nostradamus.
It's the same guy.
Was it a vampire from a 1922
silent film talking to you?
My friend and I
looked at each other in confusion, but thought maybe
this was some kind of special preview the theater
had inserted, like those fathom
event ads. However,
after a couple minutes, it became clear
this wasn't the case. The theater had somehow
gotten their film reel of rear window
mixed up with a DVD.
We know because when they finally stopped it,
we were treated to 10 minutes of various DVD menus
while they tried to fix it.
Let me tell you, as someone who's professionally worked
in film exhibition for 16 years,
that's fucking embarrassing
as all get out, Jesus Christ,
theater and Gross Evanston.
Do you think they were playing rear window
on a DVD?
They must have.
Yeah, that's embarrassing.
Oh, is that that film canister or that little disc?
Like, oh, DVD.
It just, they just missed up the little discs.
Am I threading film through a projector or am I putting a DVD into a tray?
What a flub.
I mean, people drove from from Chicago all the way to a little old Evanston be treated to a fucking DVD.
I once left to, I was living upstate.
It was in downtown Albany.
I was going to a screening of Evil Dead.
I walked in.
I said, is this on 35 millimeter?
The guy said, yes.
walked into the theater
saw the DVD menu pop up
because the projection is fucked it up
I turned around and left
I got my fucking money back
I walked right out
I was like you fucking lied to my face sir
Oh yeah sure
Yeah it's 35
The original one
It's the first one they ever made
I think you know they made it on DVD first
But like DVD blown up
It's gonna look like shit
Yeah no
That's why I walked right the fuck out
of that movie theater
Anyway, so mixed up with a DVD of four blood moons
described thusly on IMDB, quote,
just as in biblical times, perhaps God is controlling the sun,
the moon, and the stars to send our generation a signal
that something big is about to happen, end quote.
Several people went to tell the theater what was going on,
but we still ended up sitting through 12 minutes of this, quote,
documentary and 10 minutes of the DVD menu
before we finally got up, got to watch a much better movie
about paranoia and cover-ups.
No explanation was ever given
to why a popular movie theater in Chicago
was showing four blood moons.
Now, wait a second.
Wait, wait, wait, wait a second.
Did I read this wrong?
No.
Are they in Evanston?
They're from Evanston?
No, they went to Evanston.
What's going on?
I think she's just said Chicago.
I guess it's the Chicago land area.
Oh, okay.
Maybe Evanston is one of the...
By the way,
yeah.
I've seen Four Blood Moon.
What?
Shut up.
Shut the fuck up.
Just cash it all.
The act just flew off my head.
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, whee!
Yeah, man.
It was on Netflix.
I watch all that shit.
Any conspiracy theory nonsense document?
I try to also, but I just miss this one.
Is this to stay tuned?
I want to do a crazy religious documentary,
so have it.
No, it's kind of boring.
It's just kind of dull.
I mean, like, you want it to happen.
Like, it kind of just, oh, actually,
wait, no, there's a lot of weird reenactments in that movie,
if I'm not mistaken, that are really, really bad.
Like, I kind of just didn't get it.
Maybe I was a little bit off of my work.
Yeah, you didn't know what the Blood Moon was, huh?
Yeah, I mean, it was just not super coherent, but it was a pretty damn good movie.
Oh, right.
So, yeah, no explanation was given as to why a popular movie theater in Chicago was showing four blood moons in the first place.
Thanks again for the great show, Morgan.
Thank you, Morgan.
Wow, that sounds like a bad night out.
Yeah, that sucks.
Speaking of, Dark Night Rises in Pittsburgh.
There you go.
Dear W.H.M.
Oh, no, this is a long one.
Sorry.
I saw you put out the call for mailbag stories
and since I love your podcast,
always wanted to hear one of my stories in the air.
I decided to send one in.
This is the story of the worst-going experience
of my life so far.
I was going to see the dark night rises
on opening night. Good for you.
No way to brag about it.
Jeez.
The theater's back to begin with,
but there's an extra twist.
The movie was filmed extensively in Pittsburgh,
which is where I live.
The dramatic stadium explosion,
that's Heinz Field.
Every major landmark was something
in Pittsburgh and I was excited
to see our city on the big screen. That's always a nice
little treat. Oh, sure. When you see New York, you're like
oh wow. Well, yeah, you know, I think we're a bit spoiled
by it here in New York. There's not many movies
shot in New York. Yeah, just watch a couple, though. You'll find
him. Well, maybe.
Every now and again. Yeah, we'll see.
Unfortunately, there was an extremely loud
and extremely drunk, isn't that that John Saffron
Forer book? No, that's extremely loud incredibly. Sorry.
Extremely loud, an extremely drunk group of
what we call in Pittsburgh
yinsers.
All right.
Wait, whoa, whoa.
Is this some type of derogatory terms?
I'm pretty sure.
I don't know if I should be saying you.
I don't think you should be saying that.
You fucking yinser.
Whoa.
That sounds all right.
Let's get through it here.
Yinsers are the worst stereotypes of Pittsburgh.
Fat, loud, drunk.
Thank God.
It doesn't say anything about race.
So I'm going to continue.
I was going to say, thank God.
It doesn't say anything about podcast hosts.
Yeah, because I'm kind of offended,
because I'm fat, loud, and drunk right now.
I'm a fat guy, too.
This is not me.
I am a fat guy, too, but this is the letter writer saying I'm a fact guy too.
And I get drunk a lot.
Wait, wait.
Is that, wait, I'm having a problem separating realities.
Are you talking about you or this?
Is this the email?
This is the email.
We are both people who are fat.
I'd like to get drunk.
But I never take that to the theater again.
This is the guy.
Not me.
Wait, you take that into the theater?
Steve definitely takes it into the theater.
I'll take it outside.
I'll take it inside.
I'll take it wherever you want it.
I should have known.
We were in for trouble
when one of the guys showed up in the theater
in a Steelers jersey
and another was waving a terrible towel around.
Oh, come on.
Isn't that like one in five people in Pittsburgh?
But it's June at this point.
Oh, yeah.
That's embarrassing.
The Steelers are out of it at this point.
Well, it's one of those people
that's really paying attention to training camp.
Yeah, if you don't know,
the Terrible Towel is a towel.
The Steelers fan waves around.
games that's it my friends and i grabbed our seats already you should probably have left and sat down
you see you get you catch wind of a yinzer in your theater you gotta get the fuck out of there
um and as theater quickly filled up uh around the time of the first trailer the yinzers came in
to the theater there's a loud pack uh they yelled out hey jimmy where you where you's want to sit at
uh and the six guys plopped out a few rows in front of us they proceeded to shout on an enormous amount
of food.
Nice.
They had somehow snuck in burgers and fries from McDonald's.
Well, another guy had a Ziplog bag filled with jerky.
Dude, fucking hot food in the theater.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, exactly.
And you know, jerky always smells like ass.
If you are like...
Jerky's always a good treat.
It is, but it smells like your grandma's dead nutsag.
Well, for one, I like chewing on my grandma's dead nuts sack.
Fucking Sadek family history.
That's right.
On top of that, they still had giant bags of popcorn, huge sodas, and some of the theater's hot dogs.
Oh, man, movie theater hot dogs, that's desperate.
They ate through the credits, and I felt relieved.
At least these guys weren't talking during the movie.
That's fair.
Because the food is going in their mouths.
Then the movie actually started.
I don't think these guys had ever seen the Christopher Nolan movies, any Batman movies, or any movies at all.
They were confused by everything.
During the opening scene with the plane, one guy from the group yelled out,
Holy fucking shit, a couple of times.
when Joseph Gordon Levitt showed up
Another guy yelled out
Third Rock from the Sun, baby!
Yeah!
So that dude's at least familiar
with mediocre 90s sitcoms.
Anytime a Pittsburgh landmark showed up,
even an alleyway, they would yell out the name of it.
Oh, man.
You're in Pittsburgh, you're fucking idiots.
We all know what that bridge is, you asshole.
At one point, the Batmobile cuts down.
A side street, a guy yelled out,
Strawberry Way, motherfucker.
Oh, God. Get some good fucking pizza down there.
Good to know for when we go to Pittsburgh.
Yeah, I really doubt there's good pizza there.
Yeah, exactly.
But the big moment happened during the stadium scene.
All six guys stood up and started shaking and shimmying.
Shimmying.
I told you before that these were big guys and one had to weigh at least to 250 pounds.
It doesn't sound so big to me.
Who sounds like you got a bunch of small guys in Pittsburgh?
All little petite little little lambs there.
Or was she a great big, fat Steelers, friend?
The guy at the Steelers' journey started chanting,
here we go, Steelers, here we go.
Oh, my God.
And this person should have been shot in the head.
And another guy started waving the terrible towel.
Well, that's what he brought it for, to be fair.
That used to be to be waived.
Listen, you're not going to bring a terrible towel
with the movies and not fucking wave it.
And that was this before or after he wiped his ass with him.
Kamal's fucking theater hot dog McDonald's shits.
His farts.
His farts that became shit.
This is all happening in the theater
You're saying
This is disgusting
This is just Pittsburgh baby
Yeah
When the stadium collapsed
They all started booing
And one guy left the theater
Didn't return
Yeah he waited in the car
Every time Bain showed up
After that
They would loudly boo
And yell things like
Fuck you
And Cleveland
Did they think it was Drew Carey?
Oh you think Cleveland is your ally
I was born in it
I don't get it
Why is Cleveland
Sox being screamed at Bain?
I love Cleveland.
Oh, they should have the R&C there.
At the end of the movie,
I heard them discussing between themselves
and I never forget what I heard.
So Batman's a ghost now?
No, no idiot, it's symbolic.
is cat woman a ghost
who the fuck is cat woman
oh my lord
I had to go see the movie again a few days later
damn right since I miss so much of the plot
between they're yelling I've also
never gone to see a movie on opening night again
since just to avoid scenarios like that
and you're right to you have to
we've got to give up the opening day
opening night thing I'm sorry
if you really want to see the movie you really want to enjoy
a movie you got to stay clear
here's the thing you just
whenever you want to see a movie on opening night
just think of the Velvet Underground
Sunday morning
Exactly that's a perfect time
To just just rise a little early man
Go on a beautiful Sunday morning
Get that 10 a.m. 11 a.m. show
Totally.
That's what you want or even like an afternoon show is fine
I mean like it quiets down quite a bit
I'm actually I'm waiting
I like to wait in a full calendar week these days
Honestly sure we're getting older man
Saturday afternoon show the week after
Dude dude
you won't see hide nor
hair of a terrible towel.
I just want to relax. I want to enjoy the...
I don't care about who I'm seeing it with.
I'm usually bringing anyone I want to see it with
with me. And then I'm leaving
with that person. Yep.
Yeah. Let's keep going.
Thanks for the awesome podcast. By the way, when are we getting
more blaming on outer space? That's what the
gentleman asked. All right. Well, you should tweet
at Ben Worcester
and just start riding him real hard about it.
Blaming it on the old Worcester,

wister you can uh write him hard for you know all sorts of things really you don't blame a lot
of things on him outer space rio 9-11 no he was in the area he was a last letter coming up all right
here we go horror
and the off screen.
Wait.
Jesus Christ.
You just failed.
You know what it's a mailback, guys.
It doesn't matter.
Horror on and off screen.
That's the words.
Hey, gang,
I discovered the podcast about a year ago and I've loved you guys ever since.
I love you too, baby.
As you provide a constant stream of great and hilarious contact that helps content
that helps me get through the stressful times in life.
That's nice.
My story takes place actually just a few months ago on a Friday in late June.
My brother, who is a massive horror movie fan,
asked me if I want to go with him to see a showing of The Conjuring 2 later on in the day.
Now, did he like horror movies a lot, or was he massive?
Massive horror fan is a massive horror movie.
I'll tell you what, I just watched The Conjuring 2 a couple nights ago.
good movie. I got to see it. Solid sequel, man. Not as good as the original. It's long as
balls, but man, it was fucking scaring the tits right off. I like that first one. I do too. I'd total
recommend. Here's a question. Are there good sweaters in that movie? A lot of great
sweaters. Okay. I'm totally a lot of great 1970 sweaters. That's the thing, man. I want my
horror married with my sweater porn. Totally. Which is also why I like those like early Friday
the 13th. Oh, sure. A lot of great sweaters around the camp fire. A summertime sweats.
And what we're talking about horror movies really quickly, I want to say.
What we're talking about sweaters?
I went to the theater this past weekend.
I saw that Don't Breathe that everybody's been flapping their gums about.
Oh, yeah.
Terrible.
Terrible movie.
I don't know what the fuck everybody's talking about.
Oh, is that because that Stephen Lang's an awful actor?
That's part of it.
And is this from the director who did the Evil Dead remake.
Yeah.
And everyone was advertising this like it was a Sam Ramey movie or something.
Correct.
I got fooled. I was like, oh, wow, Sam Ramey's.
That's what I thought. I was like, oh, right.
I fucking, don't drag, well, drag me to hell was kind of fun.
I would like to go see another Sam Ramey horror movie.
It's what?
Yeah, no, this movie is a fucking flaming garbage fire set on train tracks and rolled into a fucking gasoline factory.
Is it just that cane movie?
It looks a lot like that cane movie.
Oh, C, No Evil?
Yeah.
No, it's like a home invasion movie where, like, the tables are turned on the burglars.
and man, am I fucking tapping my foot waiting for the lights to come up?
So is it like Kevin McAllister gets like old and grizzled and loses his eyesight in yet another prank?
Yes.
Are there paint buckets?
Not, no.
Paint cans.
No, no, no paint cans.
I just hated that movie.
I'm going to kill you, Joe Pishy.
All right.
Okay, so he's going to go see The Conjuring 2 later on in the day.
Correct.
and although I had already caught a showing of the neon demon earlier that day
I thought why not another trip to the movies never hurt anyone
gobbling up all sorts of movies that day a bunch of movies today
oh what a big movie buff I'm just super jealous
no yeah I love a double header double header go out totally
hours later we finally headed off and I was the only one who ended up driving us there
wait wait wait I read that wrong I'm gonna say what do you have a driver's
his head car.
Two steering wheels.
He said we're both going to drive.
Okay.
All right.
It's late in the night, Stephen.
I'm just having a little fun with you.
All right, come on.
Hours later, we finally
headed off, and I was the one who
ended up driving us there, despite it being
his plan to go.
Not really sure how that works.
Like, all right, damn, don't complain about your
travel plans.
I mean, who gives a shit?
What did it take?
Ten minutes to drive to the theater?
What do you want?
Hey, I'm trying to do a podcast here, kid.
Come on.
It's not the purpose of this.
mailbag to take out
petty grievances about travel plans.
Yeah, fucking argue with your brother off the air,
okay, come on. You know what? I'm going
to take a side here. Fuck that guy.
Fuck your brother. Massive
horror movie fan my ass.
As we pulled up to the theater,
we noticed the parking lot was fairly
full. I mean, what we were expecting on
a Friday night? So we headed towards
the back of the lot to find
an easy spot. I parked next to a
minivan, and we
both started
to get out. But as I got out, I noticed something weird in the minivan next to me. It looked like a woman
was slouched over the passenger seat with her back towards the front windshield. I saw
her moving up and down quite a bit in the seat. But I quickly noticed a baby car in the back
seat. So I assumed it was, you know. A baby car seat. It's in a baby car. I noticed a baby car.
Listeners at home, both of these guys had to take their reads 10 times,
and that's what Crystal clearly edited it out.
You don't even know what's going on here.
And the smear campaign is going crazy tonight.
Inside job and me.
Sorry, I'm swift-boning you.
All right.
So they saw the baby car.
So I assumed she was helping her baby or whatever parents do.
Right.
As I walked over to my brother, he looked over to the car and gave me kind of a shocked look.
And at first, I didn't know what he was getting at.
But as we began to walk away from our car, I started to sort of put two and two together.
And I anxiously asked, was there a man under that lady in the car next to us?
And without hesitation, he gave me a big fat, yes.
I couldn't believe it.
Massive horror fan, big fat, yes.
I couldn't believe it.
they were doing the dirty deed in public in a public parking lot that's what you get for parking at the back of the lot man
they had every right to be there honestly you got a gift you got to see life creation because what do you think
that baby car seats for man it's fucking flying right out of there i mean you when you do it you get a baby
that's like they bought the the car seat first and then got to fucking yeah all right
They're good Christian people.
Right.
So after that revelation, I started to feel extremely gross having witnessed these sexual deviants.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, let's take a step back from the judgment zone.
We've all fucked in a car.
Look, you're the one seeing two movies in one day.
Do you know how much, yeah?
Exactly.
And do you know how little parents can fuck these days?
That's true.
I mean, they can't just get fucking in their own house anymore.
It's like a jail zone.
How do little parents
Well, they get a baby car
These little parents get inside
Watch one of those fucking A&E reality shows
They'll tell you how little parents
Did I really say little parents?
I'm getting...
No, no, you said little parents
And I was being an asshole.
I'm just getting goofy.
All right, so we're...
Okay, and in a quick panic,
I went to reach for my phone in my back pocket
to hope alleviate the amazing amount of discomfort
I was feeling, hey, lighten up.
Yeah, I mean, come on.
This is a beautiful act of love making, man.
But lo and behold, there was nothing in my pocket.
My phone was still hooked up in the car because we had decided to play music from it on the way there.
I instinctively turned around to go get it, but stopped immediately.
My tracks when I saw the minivan next to my car profusely bouncing up and down due to their display of love.
Fast walking as quickly as I could, I told my brother, my phone's fine.
the car's locked anyway and we headed for the movies and to briefly summarize our experience inside the theater my brother shushed my brother shushed two 12 year old boys behind us about five times that is a massive horror fan a big family walked in 30 minutes in the movie with these fat people too or is there like 50 of them walked in 30 minutes into the movie with two kids who could have been no older than two years old yikes okay now that's a
a problem. I'll, I'll give you that one. And one of those kids made a bird like screeching
noise every four minutes for the entire second half. This movie, by the way, is two hours and
15 minutes long. That's a long second half. That's a lot of bird screeching.
We did a scraw!
Car, car, car. Still, despite all the obvious issues, I had with my outing, I was thankful
thankfully still able to enjoy the movie.
It's just as a 17-year-old boy,
I never would have thought
that the most disturbing thing
I saw all day was neither in the neon demon
or the conjuring two.
Thanks for the show gang.
Keep up the good work, Tanner.
Well, that was a big,
it was a big learning day for Tanner.
Well, you gotta give up some of your hangups, Tanner.
That's not disturbing.
Here's a, it's a WHM life lesson.
It's the old adage.
If this van's a rock.
and don't come a knock

should well you know what
one day you might
be interested in sex in
a public car
yeah someday Tanner you're going to find yourself in that car

or you're going to find yourself driving a baby car
on the way home
