Werewolf Ambulance: A Horror Movie Comedy Podcast - Episode 178- Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983)

Episode Date: May 28, 2018

It has been far too long since we did an anthology film, EMTs! This week, we're discussing the 1983 homage to the classic television show "Twilight Zone: The Movie." Special topics for your consideration include: an outpouring of appreciation for things that are great such as Creedence Clearwater Revival and Burgess Meredith, inventing new aphorisms, new/old nicknames for Dan Aykroyd, what we think the "Twilight" franchise is about, poor Scatman Carothers and LITHGOOOOW.  Did you miss our other anthology episodes? Check out Episode 21- "Creepshow," Episode 68- "Trick r Treat," Episode 102- "Holidays" and/or Episode 132- "Tales from the Darkside." Have you seen this movie? Which was your favorite segment?

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to us. It is dimension as vast as dick jokes and as timeless as a tiddy bill. It is the middle ground between sense and nonsense, between come to daddy and in incessant laughter. It is a dimension as the middle ground between sense and nonsense. Between come to daddy and in incessant laughter. Oh no! And it It is the middle ground between sense and nonsense, between come to daddy and incessant laughter. Oh no. And it lies between the pit of your ears and the summit of a lack of research. This dimension is the enjoyable dimension of ridiculousness. It's an area we like to call the wherew werewolf ambulance zone. Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow. Yeah, meow!

Hey, Katie. Hey, Alan. Welcome to the wherewoof ambulance zone. I have to tell you, I don't know what you're talking about. I watched this movie, I didn't think it was a horror movie. Which movie? I am vampires and were scary, but not in this one. You went to to to to to the wrong the wrong the wrong the wrong the wrong the wrong the wrong the wrong the wrong the wrong the wrong the wrong the wrong the wrong the wrong the wrong the wrong the woilight the woilight thwilight thwilight? to thwilight, they're scary, but not in this one. You went to the wrong Twilight Zone. Oh, shit. So are you team Jacob or team Edward? Um, neither. I think that that that bitch should get out of town.

They're gonna punch a baby out of her. What? There something happens weird for the baby later on? They'd they're rip it out of her or punched out of her? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

They punch a baby out of her? I think either rip it out of her or punched out of her? Whoa. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So what are you talking about? I'm talking about the Twilight Zone, the movie from 1983. Oh, that got Let's got Burgess Meredith. And is that of Old Dick Knows, Dan Ackroyd?

Have you ever hear that? The Dan Ackroyd's Nose looks like a dick? No. Kind of does, and it kind it doesn't, but it's funny anyway. Old Dick knows. Old Dick knows. And Albert Brooks? Yeah, why do I know him?

He's a comedian. Yeah. He's been in a ton of stuff. He seems extremely familiar. And first I was like, is that Steve Gutenberg? No, it's not Steve Gutenberg. I'm trying to think of what you would have seen him in. I mean, he's just been around. Yeah. He did the talk show circuit alive at the tail end of Carson, but probably not

cognizant. No, and certainly not watching late night television. Can you like that Twilight Zone? The TV show? Yeah. Hell Yeah. I loved all those shows, Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, the Night Gallery. I don't know the Night Gallery at all. The Night Gallery is like the more horror end of everything. So Twilight Zone was like the kind of sci-fi, kind of just kind of horror. Outer limits was straight up horror, but it had nothing to do with Rod Serling. Or straight up sci-fi had nothing to do with Rod Serling. And night gallery was like the horror end of things.

And it was in color. It was good, but it was weird weird weird weird. the thi th. th. the thi, thi, thi, their thi, thi, their their thi, thi, their, thi, their, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. thi, their, th. th. I was like, th. I was like, kind, kind, kind, kind, kind, kind, kind, kind, kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind, kind kind kind kind, kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind, kind kind kind kind kind kind, kind kind kind kind, kind, kind, kind kind kind, kind, kind, kind kind, the the the the the the the the the the the their, their, their, thi, thi, thi, their, their, thi. I was like, thi. thi. It was like, thi. It was like, th. It was like, like, th. It was like, it was weird being in color because when Rod Sterling's in black and white you don't know that he's the color of well-tanned leather? Is he? Was he I should say? All right B. Yeah. Yeah. All those cigs. Yeah. He's a cool ass dude though. Oh yeah smoking is so cool. Well that and just like he stood up against like the House of UnAmerican Activities Committee. It was just like, he stood up against like the House of Un-American Activities Committee. It was like, fuck you, like, dickheads. Dick noses? Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna smoke cigarettes and get tan about it.

Living the American dream, really? Really is. Speaking of things that you like, where do you come down on CCR? Oh, I love them. Everybody loves C. Yeah, I mean, like, do you know a person who doesn't? I don't ask a lot of people because I don't want to find out the answer. That's true. I think that it's a baseline of yes, because everybody likes CCR. Yeah, who doesn't? They're great.

They're great. Yeah. This is an anthology. I'm very glad that it's an anthology and not just like a from episodes of Twilight the Twilight Zone and motioning them together. Okay. It sounds like that's what the, um, do you hear about the scary stories to tell the dark movie that's coming out? I did. It seems like that's what they're trying to do is just like one thing that doesn't have much to do with the whole thing. Oh, weird. Yeah. Hmm. It's supposed to to to to to to to to to to to do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do you do you do you do you do you do you do you do you do you hear. Do do you hear. Do do you hear to hear the the scary. Do do you hear the scary. Do you hear the scary. Do you the scary. Do you the scary. Do you the scary. Do you the scary. Do you the the the the the the the the the the the the the the do you do you do you do you do you do you do you do you do you do do do do do do. Do do. Do do. Do do.

Do you hear do you hear about the scary. Do you hear not just say his name? I don't know, but I like the D'Artagnan. I got hung up on the Rolling an L and not Rolling an L. Germo de Teterre. Is that right? The Bull. The Bull. El Bolle. Pedroverus. Well, Berlbarama. Oh, What happened to that dude? He's dead. He died.

He was just on the John Oliver show. Disagree. So, do you want to go vignette by vignette? Sure. Well, let's talk about the intro first with Dan Ackroyd and Albert Brooks. It's sort of like, uh, meta talking about the twilight zone? Yeah, driving through the desert. the desert. the desert the desert the desert the desert. the desert the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. And the the th. th. th. th. thoes around around around around around thogede thogedue. tho the. He thinea' around th. Hea' around th. Hea' around th. Hea' around. Hea' around. Hea' th. Hea' th.

And they talk about the Burgess Meredith one,

because that's the one literally everybody remembers when they talk about the show. Yeah. Yeah. What is it? Time enough at last? Yeah. Yeah.

You ever driven in the desert and it was so bright that you could turn your headlights off at night and see perfectly and it was the strangest experience why is it light because it's the white of the sand and then the moon so it's like being on a really snowy night when there's a bright moon and yeah I just think people aren't meant to live in the desert I'm a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. I I I I I'm they. I'm they. I'm they. they. they. they. the the they. thea. thean is is is. I the an th't meant to live in the desert. We're not. We're not. We're water-based. How much work we had to do to live out there. It's just like, come in. Yeah. They're in Pennsylvania.

You can grow whatever you want. It's so much water here. For now. For now. For now. through the desert, driving through the mountains in the desert, and their CCR tape gets eaten, which is a god damn shape. I know. It was either that or the little fuzzy thing would fall out of the center of the tape.

Yeah. And everything was just, I don't like this. What does that thing even do? I don't tell you. the tape up against the thing that was reading it. Okay. Yeah, that's pretty good. Yeah, thanks.

Thanks. And so they're playing games with each other, like the theme song guessing game? Yeah, I hate car games. Do you? I mean, you know, who doesn't love a nice game of po-dittle? What about cow? What's cow? Oh, it's this game you always have to play with my cousin Vicky if you're in a car with her where you have to like look out windows and count cows, but if you catch a cemetery or a grave site or like a roadside grave marker, you know, like a cross on the other

person's cows and like I hate it but I hate it but I'm so competitive I I can't not play it. So... I don't even think I comprehend the rules of the game that I enjoy it. So yeah, then they start talking about the Twilight Zone and then Dan Akroyd asked my favorite question. Want to see something really scary? Yeah. And then... Yeah. What is it, Alan?

It's a screaming blue face man that sounds like a panther? It's silly as hell. It is so silly. Where do the effects for this movie come from? Spirit Halloween's story? On that part, yes. There's so bad. Later on, there's some rub-boteen magic that happens in this movie. For which part?

For the Joe Dante, with like the big rabbit that comes out of the hat. Oh, okay, okay, okay. Yeah. You can imagine at like 10 years old that I thought that that was the bees knees when he comes around and goes, Oh, wow, yeah. Yeah, that's pretty good. Yeah, and then the music starts. Mew, meow, meow, meow, meow. And the horrors of racism. And the, it's narrated now by the, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th, that, that, that, that, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thee, the the the thee, the thee, thee, the thee, by um Burgess Meredith good guy best make oh Mick What's your favorite Burgess Meredith? I really like Clash the Titans. I was gonna say yeah, I bet you like Clash of the Titans But I love Mick too you run like a Goyle rock. I love them. What letters did you just put in your girl? All of them every one of them? No, Nooo!

Goyle. Which is a clash of the Titans? Also your favorite Burgess Marriott? Oh no, it's Mick, 100% yeah. Yeah, okay. Because when he, spoilers for the Rocky franchise, when he dies, it's really sad. It's like heartbreaking. Stallone's jaw goes to one side and he's crying. That's how you know it's sad.

One good on time. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. the horrors. th. th. th. the horrors. th. th. th. th. th. the horrors. th. th. th. th. th. the horrors. the horrors. the horrors. tho. to. thi. to. to. to. the horrors. the horrors. the horrors. the horrors. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the thi. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the on time. Um, okay, yes, horrors of racism. Yes, with Vic Morrow of you're asking me instead of telling me. The last shark. Ah, fuck, that's what I knew him from. El the the most squalro. Yes. Lutomo, L-o-tum. I'm really working on my accents this week. They're really nice, you're rolling all the ails. I don't think you're meant to in Lottomo. Do you want to talk about the sad thing now or wait till later?

Get it out of the way. It's literally the only thing I know about this movie. So this is the final movie that Vic Morro was in, he and two children actors that technically, technically, the the th, technically, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th, their, th, their, their, weren't supposed to be on set. John Landis was like circumventing California law to have these kids on set because kids aren't supposed to work at night or around pyrotechnics. For reasons. Yeah. So a helicopter was flying in to pick up Vic Morrow and these two kids in this, like the ultimate scene in this story and a pyrotechnic went off too close to the helicopter because someone missed their

cue it knocked the helicopter sideways and killed the three of them. Wait it was two children that were in this movie yeah which children? They're not in the movie. Oh they never made it. They never made oh fuck. I think like out of respect for them that entire scene was cut to the the the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. I was was was was their. I was their. I was their their their their their their tea. Wea. Ia. Ia.ea. Wea. Wea. Ia. Wea. Ia. I was. Wea. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. made it. They never made it into the movie. I think like out of respect for them, that entire scene was cut. It was supposed to be in Vietnam and he was rescuing to Vietnamese children. That's, it does seem like not much happens in the Vietnam sequence. So this was supposed to be bringing him, this was his redemption arc. Wow. That, and IRL, he passes away. That's crazy.

Yeah. Yeah. They went to like trial for that, didn't they? Weren't they charged with manslaughter? Yeah, yeah, with manslaughter. Yeah. And they got off. Yay.

I mean, yeah. I mean, yeah, it's awful. It's like, I'm even surprised the movie came out after that but yeah well this is I thought the best of the form this is your favorite yeah okay yeah it's all kind of downhill from here I would disagree but we do my wife go so Vic Morrow is making America great again he I this is startling because it is so full circle to now. Yeah. I feel like we got to a point in our country's history where we weren't like doing this shit. Or at least it was very

under the treat and it's just back, it's just back and in full force and it's very depressing. He's in a bar and he's just using racial epithet and X from the X files asked him to calm the fuck down. I knew I th. th. th of th of th. th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi that that that that that that that that that that that. thi. that th th th th th th th th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I that that thi. I thi. I thi thi. I thi. thi thi thi thi thi. thi theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. him to calm the fuck down. I knew I knew him too. I love X. And I love it. He doesn't want to be part of this but he's stuck. Spoilers for the X files. They put tape over the window to bring him into the bar. Yeah. So when Vic Morrow eventually gets pissed off, people are telling him not to be racist, so he leaves. And I love when X stands up and goes, sorry about your friend. And we're just like, that's all. I mean, it's a very strange reaction. You could have been way dickier than you were about. Yeah.

I mean, I think the point is to be like, this guy's so fucking bad. Yeah, I do like, he's like grabbing in the wait. the wait. the wait. the wait. the wait. the wait. the wait. the wait. the wait. the wait. the wait. the wait. the wait. the wait. the wait. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. that. that. that. that. that. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. to. to. th. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. th. th. thir uniforms. And that shirt comes back later. They like must have had a ream of that fabric or something because the shirt comes back later. Yeah, Helen is wearing it and the third. That's true. So when he steps outside of the bar, he is in Nazi Germany. And everybody is just speaking French and German. And he doesn't understand any of it.

And it's not subtitled, so we don't understand it either that that that that that that that's th u th. And th. And it. And it's not subtitled, so we don't understand it either. Unless you're like multilingual, in which case, muh. JK, you're cool. Congratulations, you have a skill most Americans don't. Oh, I got a duolingo. You ever try that? No. I tried to learn Spanish for a while.

It was pretty fun. And then I quit, because the the q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi.

I'm serious. You can learn Kling. Yeah, you learn phrases such as like, he is a cowardly boy. You think I'm joking, I am 100% serious. I don't think you're joking. But whenever we talk about Klingon, I just think about you talking about Worf having sex. Oh, fuck you to death.

Can we have that on a tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie t a t-shirt, Warful, fuck you to death, or do you think that's a trademark problem? Just a picture of him and it says he'll fuck you to death. He will though. So he gets picked up by the, or he goes on the run from these Nazis. Yeah. Like legit Nazis, like straight up Nazi Nazis. Yeah, secret police. And he goes and he hides another family's apartment and they're like, uh, nope. Yeah. And they turn him in. And then he

keeps running? Um, there's a motorcycle with a sidecar. Yeah. What I really like and I really want to ride in a side car. I have a friend that has one. Who? It's in Chicago. Oh, oh. Just kidding. Sure.. I don't know why I said that. I just wanted to be someone here so I can ride in a side car. Yeah, I'm sorry. Do you have a side car get in touch? He sort of escapes from them. Right. He gets off a building, right? Yes. And ends up in the jungle. No, he ends up with thethought you would remember. Yeah, I did indeed, and one of them is John Larricette. Really? Yeah. That's not funny.

This is his second appearance on the podcast. What is his first? No, we didn't do... He's been mentioned before because he does the voiceover on Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Right. Right. Right. That's so weird. Uh-huh. Yeah. Weird John Lerickett touching our world. I would prefer it if John Lerick had quit touching me, honestly. And dropping end bombs in this movie. Yeah. So yeah, they're-

But this guy is, in the, in the, in the World War II sequence, he is a Jew. Yeah, he is being chased by these people who are trying to get him because he's a Jew. And then when he lands in the, I guess, Southern 50s, 60s, he is a black man. He looks the same, but everyone sees him as a black man, and they're trying to lynch him, and it's really fucking sad.

And he keeps yelling it, what are you doing? Yeah, which is like, come on, fucking. You know, there's, I can see how they try to have a redemption arc, but he learned nothing. Yeah. He gets away from the clan, they're trying to string him up. He ends up lighting a bunch of them on fire and there's one who does like a full clansman firewalk. And I was just like, this movie is so great. It's so great. It's so great. It's because. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. Because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because the the the the the the the the the the the the still fucking exist. Unfortunately, yeah. Ever tell you the story about how I try to get out of a moving car and fight Klansmen? No, tell me about it though. We were driving through a town called Rising Sun

Maryland. Uh-huh. Shout out to the rising sun. And they had a really high populous of Klansmen at the time. And I got to an intersection and they were clansmen on all four corners. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the me me me tell me me the me tel me tellain me the me the me the me tell me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the. tel. tel. tellan telan telan. telan. telan. tell me tell. tell me tell me tell me tell. tell me tell me tell have the hoods on and everything? Oh yeah. Full regalia. And the person I was with like sped through the intersection and I tried opening the door and rolling out to go out. Like I was just like, nope, not on my watch, but they wouldn't let me get out. Um, well with me probably having died if I'd gotten out out of the car. Yeah, I'm pretty glad that didn't that that th th th th th th th th th. I'm pretty, I'm pretty glad that didn't that didn't that didn't that didn't th. I that didn't that didn't that didn't th. I th. I didn't th. I'm pretty. I'm pretty. I'm pretty. I'm pretty. I'm pretty. I'm pretty th. I'm pretty glad th. I'm pretty. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'm pretty thr. I'm pretty thr-I tried. I'm pretty tried. I'm pretty tried. I'm pretty tried. I'm pretty thr-I'd thr-I'd thr-I thr-I't exist. That's true. When Rob was a child, his family moved a lot, and they moved to somewhere in North Carolina. Yeah. And the local clan like sent his dad a letter being like, hey, white guy, you want to. My father-in-law was like, nope, nope, nope, nope. Yeah. Yep, nope.

They just sent you a letter. They invite you, white guy. Yeah, they have business cards. She is. You can give them at like Vista print? Or you think they're printing them up themselves, I bet. The clan seems cheap to me. Like they just have their own like gestetter that they're still like pumping away on the paper cutter. And they're like, they're like, he's gotta look professional. Recut it, Kim.

Anyway, so he gets away, but then jumps into the water to escape them, and when he comes up from the water, it's in the jungle. And Purple Hayes is playing. Yeah. Because Vietnam. Yeah. Whenever I give my cat's cat nip, I always imagine purple hay is just like playing in their head.

It's a white rabbit for me. Oh sure. Yeah. Yeah. And there's a snake. Fuck snakes. But it's the best rubber snake because it's just like... It doesn't, it's back half doesn't move.

Just the front stick that I'm sure though. Can all snakes swim? Uh, I don't know if all snakes can, but I've definitely been swimming and had snakes swim at me and that is a very, very upsetting thing, especially when you realize it's a frog. Uh, which has happened to me. I was like, oh God, it's a snake and then it just hops out of the water. No. Because they look the same when they're swimming. They're all monsters, I wouldn't get in that water. You just called Frogs Monsters. Yeah, do you ever see the movie Frogs? Sam Elliot?

Side type Sam? Yeah, I've seen that movie. We should do that movie at such thing. I love that movie you can see his wean. Like, just denim-donged. Denim-dick. D-D-Den-Den-Den-Den-Den-Dy-Dy-Dy-Dy-we. denim dick. So when he gets out of the water like some Viet Cong are coming by and they go by him and then the American troops are walking up when the aforementioned Hendrix is playing where do they have speakers they just have

speakers everywhere what's going on? It's Bluetooth I'm thinking. And they just start shooting up the jungle like predator style when they hear him. Yeah. Because he's like, hey, I'm one of you guys. And then he's back at Nazi Germany after they throw a grenade at him and blow him into Nazi Germany. And then, oh he sees his friends coming out of the bar, but they don't see him and they

put him on a train with a bunch of older Jewish people. He was just staring at him. In a really long scene. Yeah, and then the train pulls away. Yeah, fucking disturbing as hell. Hey. Well, definitely the most brutal of all these vignettes. It's the only one that I cared about, I feel.

What? Yeah. What's up next is the Skatman Cruthers. Okay, why does, he, I want to say a very nice thing about him. Yes. He is just enchanting. He's a joy. He's a joy. He's when he is on screen, you can think of nothing else. Best smile on the business. Oh, wonderful. Why does he always have to play this character? The magical black man? Yes. Why? I hate it. Yeah, that. Yeah, he, he, he, he, he, that. Yeah, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. theat. theat. theat. th. theat. theat. theat. th. theat. th. th. th. th. th. the. Oh, wonderful. Why does he always have to play this character? The magical Black Man. Yes, why? I hate it. Yeah, that's the bummer. Okay. So, full disclosure, I've seen this movie a ton of times.

You can tell it because I've totally forgotten how things go in what order. And when I was a kid now. Anyway, I see. Because this movie was on HVO a ton when I was a kid. I watched it all the time because TV was my friend. And and parents and babysitter. If your child it was like mine. And it is. So Scatman comes to a retirement home. And all the retirees that are there are bummed out. And he's like, Oliver, want to be kids again? Want to kick the can? Play games? Are there rules to kick the can?

I had, so it's apparently, it's like hide and go seek. But you have to kick the can, but you have to kick the can. Yeah. But you have to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to tho tho tho thoom their their their thi. thi. thoom their their their their their their their tho thoom thoom thoom thoom tho tho tho tho tho tho tho their their their their tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thee. thee thea. thea. theea. thea. theeea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. trying to find you, finds you I guess? Seems like they could just look at the can. But they have to go find you. Yeah, but if you're gonna come kick that can, I found you, mother fucker. I think you're out thinking this child's game. Whatever. I love how shiny his can is.

Yeah, it's a perfect can. And he talks them into like, out at night and playing kick the can except for What is it? Leo? I don't know this guy who just kid doesn't want him to come visit and I kept thinking like maybe this is why. Like that's super sad and then he's an asshole and you're like yeah. Yeah. God doubt yeah there's the like every weekend. Leo backs his bag and every weekend the kids say they have something else to do and it's like like. Leo packs his bag and every weekend the kids say they have something else to do and it's like, why? Yeah it is it is sad. Oh this is the Spielberg directed one so Landis said the first one this is Spielberg so basically they go out and they play kick the can and Scatman's like full full on magic black man turns them into children again. Yeah.

The kids are so cute especially the Jewish couple them into children again. Yeah. The kids are so cute. Especially the Jewish couple. They're so cute. We'll go to Murray's house. Tell them where are your parents. I loved her. She's fantastic. Yeah.

And the little girl with like glasses and the cat. Yeah, and the big gap in her taste. Oh, boy. I just have the note that little girl girl girl girl girl girl girl girl girl girl girl girl girl girl girl girl girl girl girl girl girl girl girl girl girl with the girl girl with the girl girl with the girl with the girl girl girl with the girl with the the girl with the the the girl with the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the best. I just have the note, that little girl with her cat exclamation point. And then the next note, why is this making me cry? Aw. I forgot to mention that before I watched this movie, I had the best intro to movie watching, which was making pizza, drinking a beer, and listening to Stankonia. Whoa.

I would just dance around my kitchen, making a pizza, and listen to Stankonia. It was the best. And then you watch this movie and you're like, old people are sad. I'm one of them. You're not really in like a convalescent home, to be fair, calling people a pups. Did you notice they all shared a room? Why would they? That looked like a really big house. Yeah, yeah. They're all in one room together.

Also, like, that woman who was running that place is going to get in so much trouble for losing both the British guy and Skatman Brothers. Like, you can't just lose people when you run an elderly homes. Skatman's just around the corner to the, like, I'm assuming it's like the Shelbyville of convalescent homes. So everybody but the British guy decides they want to go back to being an adult because that's what they're supposed to be. But they have hearts of children now or something. Yeah, he's what is happening in this one? This one is so dumb. I'm no longer a child and I still think it's kind of dumb. They just keep saying fresh young minds. Yeah. Fresh young minds.

It's a heartwarming story about the remaining young at heart. But that's not what this movie's supposed to be about. Did Spielberg not get the memo? Well that was that was like the Twilight Zone had both ends of that. Yeah, I guess. The whole like you can't go home again thing like be happy be happy with what you have sort of stuff and like yeah. I don't know. They did hit really sad notes sometimes. Yeah, I guess. There's one about a dude, I can't remember if it's a Twilight Zone about a guy who goes back to this bar that like hasn't existed in 50 years and he's just drinking there and like he's gotten fired today and his wife left him and it's just like, working through some shit, huh?? th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's th. th. thi's like, thi's like, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they's like, they's like, they's like, they's like, th. th. they's like, th. they's like, th. they's like, th. they's like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, thi's like, like, thi's like, like, like, like, thi's like, like, like, thi's like, they're thi's like, they're they're like, they're like, like, like, and it's just like, working through some shit, huh Twilight Zone? Yeah, right? So yeah, the British guy is just like, nah, I'm gonna stay young. This is dope, even though I've got old man hair. Yeah, I liked that actually.

He'd be very hip right now. Also I liked it, he was like too, too t I don't know. I don't know. But yeah, he goes off to be a swashbuckler. Did you also like that the cat went from being like an adult cat to a kitten? Oh, I didn't even notice that. That's adorable. I like that. I like that. I like, that's a fresh and young cat.

the clean in the front yard. Yeah, the old fuddy-duddy. Yeah, I mean, I guess I'm supposed to feel something. I didn't, this one I was like, pff-ph-ph! This was your big thumbs down? All right, I got you. Yeah, 10-year-old me agrees. Also to bring you down, a scatman died three years after this movie. Oh, how did he die?

From Smokin. Ah, so cool though. It'll kill you, Katie. Oh yeah. So I've heard. We move on to the Joe Dante one. I did not know this was Joe Dante. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. This is Joe Dante. It is Joe Dante.

I guess we should mention that all of these are based on original Twilight Zones. Yeah, especially the last one, I was like, oh, I've seen this. Yeah, that's the one with William Shatner. Yeah. It's basically the same one. It's like shot for shot, but then turned up to 11. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the one. the one. the one. that's that's that's that's that's the one. that's that's the one. the one. the one. the one. the one. the one. the one. the one the one. the one. the one. the one. the one. the one. the one. the one. the one. the one. the one. the one. the one. the one. that's that's that's that's that's the one. that's that's the one. the one. that's th. th. th. th. that's that's th. that's that's that's th. that's that's th. th. th. the. the one. the one. the one one. It's like, it's like shot for shot, but then turned up to 11. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Why did they do that? Why didn't they just make a new thing? Because it was like, this old movie's supposed to be an homage to the Twilight Zone? I guess, but homage isn't exactly the same. That's all. That's all I I I I I I I I I I I'm that's all I'm the th saying. the same. the same. the same. the same. they. they's all. they's all. they's all. they's all. they's all. they's all. they's. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they. quintessential Twilight Zone, that's like a, you know. I assume that these are all directors who grew up on the Twilight Zone and were like, I would love to do that one. Just a version of this, I guess, alright, fine.

Fine. You know who would be great in this, Let Go. I like Lithgow. I don't know why I'm saying it like that. Coming down hard on Lithgow. He's good, Lithgow. Katie, before we get to Lithgow. We gotta get through Dick Fucking Miller. Yeah, always Dick Miller. This is like his fifth appearance on this podcast.

Oh man. And like the second one is month. He's just the working class hero, Dick Miller. He really is. It's that forearm tattoo. I feel like he gets more tattoos as time goes on. And I was like, you were already into your 60s at this point, Dick Miller. What are you doing? Why not?

You know? Fuck it. I agree. So this one is this teacher, Helen, is stopped at a roadside restaurant and there's a little kid playing a video game and these dickheads are mad because the kids fucking up the TV. I don't understand how but okay. Because he's got the powers. Okay. And Dick Miller's hitting on Helen until someone's like, Dick Miller, your wife's on the phone.

I mean he's in his 60s and she, we are told is 27. I don't know why he thinks he has a chance. Yeah, Dick Miller's just gonna throw all those lines out there and see if you can get to anything. I guess so. You don't, you don't catch a fish if you don't go fishing, right? As they say, you miss 100% of the fish you don't catch. I think that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is the fish and you'll land among the snakes. What?

No. Come for the fish, stay for the snakes. Come for the fish, stay for the fish. I think that's the one that works. Let's get that tattoo. You can get Come for the fish and I'll get stay for the fish. And it'll be a best friend's tattoo with like a heart. Get them on our hands and so so to hands it matches up. And then it'll eventually wear away which

will be a good good for both of us. So Anthony is the little kid playing the video games. Yeah. And Helen promptly promptly knocks him down on his bike in her car. Yeah. And offers to tape him home. How are you going to describe his house? It's like a weird fun house. Yeah. It's like a child's a thia to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their their their their their their to their their th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. the. thi. thi. the. the. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. t. t. t. t. t. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. tape. ta. tape. tape. t. t. t. t. t.. How are you going to describe his house? It's like a weird fun house. Yeah. It's like a child's imagination of what a house should be. Yeah. Did you recognize his sister's voice? Uh, I did, but tell me who it is. It's Nancy Cartwright.

Who is? Bart Simpson, Simpson, who then later did a spoof of the next Twilight Zone in a Treehouse of Horror, it's on a bus. Oh, okay. Okay. So it's not horror at 30,000 feet, but something much lower to the ground? I forget what it's called, but yeah. Yeah. It was pretty good. Because I saw that Simpsons before I ever saw the Twilight Zone, and then when I saw that Twilight Zone, I was like, I know this. This is like a real weird weird owl situation. We're like, oh, it's what Michael Jackson did a version of this too. Interesting. Oh, the song is not called Eat It.

There's gotta be people that have like heard weird owl before they heard. The what it's spoofing. Yeah, like another one bites the dust or something. Amish Paradise. I think it probably has to be one of them. I love that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the s s.

It do you mean? Koolio wanted him. He wanted to be pissed. What? He's a Weirdo? He's like the sweetest man in the world.

I know, I know, but Kulio was mad. Kulio. Kulio. Which is weird because you have to sign off before we had a their that song. I love that Weird Al is having like a like second career doing the exact same thing. He's doing, he does original music too. Oh yeah, yeah. But people like love it now.

Yeah. He does like huge shows and he does like huge shows and yeah. Yeah, it's great. I saw him, he was the second concert I ever went to my life was weird Al at Station Square. Nice. And he hea hea hea hea hea he he he he the th. He th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Yeah, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. He's th. He's th.

Oh yeah, yeah, drink from the fire hose? Yeah. I always want to put my arm through something and then look at my watch. God, I need to see that movie again. Yeah, you do. you do. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I th th the. the the the the the the to to the to to to to the to to to to the to to the introduces him to his family. Yeah, they seem very, very strange. Yeah, and they're very much like coddling to Anthony and whatever Anthony wants. And they're very 50s looking. Right. And they eat the best dinner of all time. Which is? Hamburgers with peanut butter? Yeah.

Which is like a gourmet thing now, right? Is it? I bet. I bet. I think. We've got some candy apples. Uh-huh. I think cookies?

I saw some, um, I think they were fudge stripes. Oh, do you love a fudge strife. And a Dixie cup of ice cream. would eat. I could just I could feel that wooden spoon on my teeth. Oh yeah. Yeah I have to know peanut butter burgers are a thing now. Anthony was a trendsetter. Yeah it didn't even know it. And Helen's like you guys eat like this all the time. They're like yeah definitely it's the best. You probably should eat like this all the time and Anthony's like, yeah why do we eat like this all the time? And they's like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, yeah, yeah, yeah, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the b. the b.

Yeah, th. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the this all the time. And Anthony's like, yeah, why do we eat like this all the time? And everyone's like, well, I don't know. And there's like a little, um, Ballyhoo about another birthday,

another birthday, another birthday, that they have to celebrate. Yeah, because it's supposed to be Anthony's supposed to be Anthony about the sister upstairs. So when Anthony's showing her around the house, he takes her to this room that's just filled with like 40 beds. Yeah. And at the far end of it is someone watching TV that we only see from behind. She's in a wheelchair, I think, right?

Yeah. And then they walk away and we get to see her from sealed over. Yeah. That freaked me the fuck out as a kid. It is definitely the best image in the whole movie. Oh yeah I think there's one coming up that's even better. Is it the rabbit? Is the rabbit? Okay I was like Anthony takes her back downstairs they have dinner and he's like uh Uncle Walt's gonna do a trick and uncle Walt's like I am. It's like yeah you're gonna do a trick." And Uncle Walt's like, yeah, you're gonna do the pull the, you're gonna use that hat over there. He's like, okay, puts his hand in the hat and he's terrified as he's pulling it in there. He just pulls out a little rabbit, a little white rabbit. And then he reaches back in and pulls out a scary, insane nightmare designed by Rob Boatine. That's just like cartoon rabbit but IRL and a nightmare. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. that. Yeah. that's that's that. that's that's th. Yeah. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi's thi. thi. thi's thi's thi's thi's thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. It's th. He's th. He's th.

It's thi. thi. thi. thi. to to to thee. the. the. thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo's th. He's IRL and a nightmare. Yeah. What do we know his other works?

He is best known for the Howling and we've done. And he also, he did the transformation in the Howling. It wasn't very good according to whatever that other podcast was that we still don't know who it is, do we? No? Name? And he's most well known for doing the thing. Oh, okay.

Cool. And he also worked on Star Wars, I think, for... It's a movie about Spacemen's. Oh, yeah. It's weird and I heard of it. Yeah, they're remaking it every year now. Oh, they do remakes. Interesting.

They should make movies that come before that one. I think people would really like that. Yeah. They did. Oh, OK. People loved it? They did. It's their favorites. Classic cinema. Even Natalie Vortman couldn't save it. So there's the nightmare rabbit. There is.

Um, they, Helen finds a note in her purse that says, Help us Anthony is a monster. Like not all that descriptive but okay. Yeah written on a written on a comic book. Yeah yeah and the family points the finger at Ethel, Nancy Cartwright. Which is fucked up. But they don't really care because they're not really family as it turns out. Yeah. They are just people that Anthony has kidnapped and he's so mad that he puts Ethel inside the cartoon. Yeah. It looks pretty good. Also scared the shit I mean when I was a kid. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. the the the the the the the the the the the th. Yeah. Yeah. the the th. Yeah. Yeah. the the the the th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. the the th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.. Yeah......................................... Yeah. Yeah..... Yeah.. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. the. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.. Yeah........... Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.... Yeah... Yeah.... Yeah....... Yeah.. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.. Yeah.... Yeah. It looks pretty good. Yeah. What is it, 83? Yeah, it's pretty good. Also scared the shit I mean when I was a kid. Yeah. Yeah. Because a giant crock gator eats her. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it's, I don't know. There's just something about it that's super creepy. I mean being put in a cartoon eaten by monsters? Yeah. That's probably the one. It's part of the thing. Yeah. And that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's pretty. It's that's that's that's part. It's that's that's that's part. It's part. It's that's part. It's part. It's part. It's part. It's part. It's part. It's part. It's. It's. It's part. Yeah. It's part. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's part. It's part. It's part. It's part. It's part. It's. It's. It's. It's.

Yeah. Yeah. It's. It's. It's. Yeah. It's. It's. It's. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It I like that. Yeah I figured you would. You know I

love a good catchphrase. Want to play ball scarecrow? God damn it. Yeah. Apparently that's got some sort of Wizard of Oz thing going on there. Oh somebody on the internet told us. Yeah yeah. I like when they told us. Yeah all right but like you can't just quote the Wizard of Oz whenever you want and have it be relevant. it's to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be to be to be to to to be to to be the to be to be to be to be to say the the th th th that's the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the, the, the the the the the the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the the the the the the the thatch thatch the. Yeah. Yeah. You the. You the the the the to say say say the to say to say the to say the the that the that the that that that th Yeah, all right, but like, you can't just quote the Wizard of Oz whenever you want and have it be relevant. It's true. Oh yeah, she throws something at him. Fire.

Yeah. Yeah. But, whatever. But he didn't throw fire. their. Scarecrows don't play ball at them. their, throwing a ball at them, a ball of flame. It's true.

I'm so done with this already. We can't re-litigate it. No. No. No. And at this point, like it's all starting to fall apart. And Anthony's getting pissed off. And I love that there's the wall. Oh, like the Tom and Jerry mouse holes back there. Oh I didn't notice it. The entire house is just like cartoon references. It's so weird.

Yeah. And then Helen tries to open the front door and it's just blocked by a giant like eyeball. Yeah. Why? It's so scary. Yeah. And then the Tasmanian devil comes ripping out of the TV. and I loved him so much. Because he's just weird and squishy and weird. You should get a Taz tattoo. Should I? Yeah. You live in Pittsburgh. Is that a thing? Yeah. But I'd have to get it like black and gold, wouldn't I? You'd have to be wearing a Cordell Stewart jersey, yeah?

You should get it on like the front of your leg, the front of him wearing a cordless to a jersey, and then on the back of your leg, the back. Just a whole wrap-around leg tattoo. Yeah. So Helen asked Anthony to wish it away. Yeah, because what we've learned is that all of his wishes can come true. Yeah.

But all he really wants is for someone to not be afraid to be afraid to be afraid to be afraid to be afraid to be afraid to be afraid to be afraid to be afraid to be afraid to be afraid to be a to be afraid to be afraid to be afraid to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a him. Yeah. Which it seems like you could make work if you had wishes that could make, you know, maybe just don't terrorize people. Do nice things for them. Yeah, maybe just like be a nice person. So he wishes it all away and now they're in like a nowhere like 3D world. Yeah, in a different plane somehow, yeah. So here's my biggest problem with this part. Anthony's just upset. He's s s saused. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th is th is not th is not thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi's thi's thiiiiiiiiiiiii. thiiiii. thi. thi. Maybe, thi, thi, thi with this part. Anthony's just upset, he's saying you're supposed to be happy when wishes come true, and he's not happy. And Helen is not upset that all of these other people are dead now. No, she sees an opportunity. She does.

Helen is the villain in this. This is our second Helen, by the way. What do you mean? She was in, um, or Kathleen Quinlan? Yeah. Yeah. She's. She's. She's. Yeah. She's. Yeah. She's. Yeah. She's. Yeah. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. So th.

So, here is the. the. thee. he thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. the. the. the. So, here is the. So, here is the villain in this. This is our second Helen by the way. What do you mean? She was in, um, or Kathleen Quinlan? Yeah. She was in Event Horizon. She was the woman. She's Mama Bear. Yeah. Holy shit. Well done. Thanks. So, uh, Helen and Anthony write off in the sunrise. That he makes happen. And then all these shitty flowers start growing everywhere, which doesn't make any sense. And now we're on to our final vignette. Yes. This is, in my opinion, the best of the four.

I love this episode of the Twilight Zone. But I love that. I don't need to see it again is how I feel. Directed by George Miller, you might know him from one of your favorite movies. Childs played through. All of the Mad Max movies. I've never seen though. I wouldn't think you had. No, they're very action-packed, is my understanding.

They are. People really liked that one with the desert. Are they all a woman in a man in a desert? No, not all of them. Okay. Some of them are. Tina Turner's in one of them. Who? Tina Turner? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She goes beyond Thunderdome. Yeah. It's a, it's a Mad Max movie. I love the Mad Max. Yeah. Yeah. Georgeville is great. And this stars John Lithgow and the best little girl ever to be in anything. What is she doing? She's just an asshole. She's just an asshole and her mom's like, looks like a junkie or something? Like what? I didn't understand that whole interplay. I thought the child was traveling alone

and the flight attendants were responsible for her? Yeah. But it think so. So we start off with John Lithgow in a bathroom and stewardesses trying to get him out while they're in a lot of turbulence. He doesn't like flying. No, who does? I'm sorry, flight attendants to get him out. They get him back to his seat and offer him like a quailude to calm down. Yeah right, just a mild sedative. I wish anybody would give me a mild sedative on an airplane though, you know. Did you notice the movie bunk that we walk by? No, there's got like a tryhawk and those real thin sunglasses. No, that's great though. I'm so glad you're here. Did he look cool? Do you look to the little biz. It's, it biz, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's, it's, it's, it, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, did, did, did, did, did, did. thi, did, did, did, did, did. thi, did, did, did. Did thi, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did. Did, did, did. Did. Did. Did. Did. Did, did. Did, did. Did, did. Did, did. Did, did. Did, did. Did, did. Did, did. Did, did. Did, did. Did, did. Did, did. Did, did. Did, did. Did, did. Did, did. Did. Did. Did, did. Did, did. Did, did. Did, did. Did, did. Did, did. Did, did. Did, did, did, did, did, it's a. Did, it's a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the Go good, good, good. I remember, it was in another flight attendant that's talking to him that's like,

oh, microchip logic, science fiction. Yeah, and he's like, no, it's a textbook. And she's like, you read this, and he's like, I wrote it. Then why do you have it with you? Why is, bring a book you haven just listen to our podcast on the plane because I already know you know what I mean? I do. Maybe just cares around to sign them for people. Fans of microchip logic. Computers he says computers? Oh man. Smoking on a plane. You're just pulling up the little ashtray on the arm or putting your smoke out? I can remember flying when they were still

the ash trays on planesthe arm. Oh yeah. Putting your smoke out? I can remember flying when they were still ashtrays on planes. Wow. Yeah. Smoking. Yeah. Ugh, so much smoking so cool. Liff-go looks cool smoking too, though. Like, let's be fair.

Yeah, he also looks strung out though. Yeah. Oh, yeah strikes the plane. And in that lightning strike, he sees, or he thinks he sees something that's a man ripping apart the engine. Like a creature? Yeah. Yeah. But then, uh, you know, he gets calm down. The captain comes out to talk to him. Yeah. They shut the window, but he has to look outside because it's like haunting him. And when he opens the window back up, Gremlin. And the the the th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. Oh th. Oh th. Oh th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. th. thi thi thi thi thi's thi's thi's thi thi thi's thi's thi's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's thi thi thi thi thi thi. He's thi. He's thi. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's thi. He's thi. He's thi. He's thi. He's thi. He's thi. He's thi. He's theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. He's haunting him. Yeah. And when he opens the window back up, Gremlin face. Do you like that? I love it so much. I love the big dude that's in the seat in front of him.

It turns out to be like an air marshal or something. And he's just staring at him. And he's just staring at him? Very sweaty. I have the note Lithgow's a damn fine actor. Who is? Oh, Lithgow. You said it normal a couple times. I definitely, definitely didn't. The captain comes out to talk to him and tells him that they did lose an engine. And I was like, why would you tell him that? Yeah, he's like, I have to be honest with you. Plane my go down. Unlily. to. the. the. the the. th. the thi. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. thi. the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. theeeeeeeee. theeeeeeee. the. the. the. the. the. would you tell him that? Yeah, he's like, I have to be honest with you. Plain might go down. Unlily to.

Unlily. And then the captain has to run back into the cockpit, because we see that the gremlin is out there with like the flap on the wing, just like, ah. Ah, ah. Ah, ha! What's this Gremlin's life? I mean, how did he where they're... He just flies around in the sky times. Just fucking it up. Imagine if your life was like, so what do you do, Bob? Um, Grambling, I just go around and fuck with planes while they're flying around.

Oh, oh, very interesting. How'd you get into that line of work? Well, uh, my dad was once, you know, it's sort of a, the family, the sort of the family business. Family business, yeah. Yeah, I took down a Amelia Earhart though. Not all people know that. Whoa, whoa! Whoa! Every gremlin playing to that one. And the gremlin's just destroying everything.

There's the scene where the chubby the chubby is just holding a dummy. Because the plane's going nuts and like, it's the the the their their their their the the the plane's going nuts and like... It's the little girls dummy. But he's like hugging it, like it's his like... His comfort dummy. Yeah, his lovey. And so Lithgow gets the gun away from the guy. Guns on planes. Yeah, always a good idea.

Shutes on a window. Mm-hmm. Yeah, you can't really do that. You can't generally do that on a plane. You shouldn't you shouldn't you shouldn't to have been happening a lot recently? Yeah, people getting sucked out windows and stuff. Yeah, it's happened twice in the news. It's been in the news recently. Very upsetting. Yeah. I mean, we're not meant to get in machines and fly around in the sky, so it's kind of

like t I heard recently. This was told to my friend Christina that this person was on a flight with Stephen Weber. Brian from wings and apparently he was taking pictures out the window like he'd never been on a plane before. Like a common tourist. Yeah. Which is weird with all his flying experience. Yeah he just loves it. He just loves it. He like seeing anywhere that's not Nantucket. Yeah. I feel like Brian hasn't come up in a minute. No, and I'm glad to have been able to just

fob him right in there. I feel like I should have put him in my intro. He was one of the back to me next week. So he shoots the window out. The gremlin like looks at him, wags his finger at. Luckily, they're low enough to the ground that nobody dies in the window shooting out part. When they get out, they see the engines have been torn apart. And everyone's like, holy shit. What cow? Who's in an ambulance?

In a straight jacket. He crazy. And he gets driven away by an ambulance driver just turns the sirens off. Yeah. And who needs these anyway, he says? Generally ambulances. Put it on a little credence. Let the midnight.

Can you drop that in here? We're never getting on Spotify. And asks if, uh, Lith Lith Lith Lith Lith Lith Lith, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let's, let's, let's, let's to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the asked if, uh, let's go out to see something really scary. He's like, I heard you have a little scare up there. Yeah, it's Dan Akryde. Old Dick knows Dan. Oh, I thought you were doing a segue into our next part. No, that was just my attempt at a puma noise.

I like it. And that's the end of the twilight twilight twilight twilight twilight twilight twilight twilight twoom the two the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the end of the Twilight Zone.

Look, it's good. I think the first one is really good. I think the last one is pretty good. Yeah. I think the last one is very good but I've already seen it. It's like a really tight cover of a song. Yeah where you're like yeah, well you know. Yeah I'll just listen to the Cures original only to your 311s version. Exactly. Although I think this is better than 311 could have done. And the Skyman Carothers one is just I wish I had never seen it honestly. Honestly. All right, peace, cat man. Yeah, no, it's nothing personal about anybody in that, in that's, uh, vignet. Um, this is fine. I don't love it.

So that is the Twilight Zone. Do you want to do a movie next week that's also by a very respected director? Who we've often respected on here. Oh, so much respect. Just like nothing but respect for my director. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

What? Let's do any of that Roth movie? Can it star a man named Rider Strong? From Boymates World? It can. Can it make no goddamn sense? Well, we'll see. Cabin fever.

Cabin fever. Can it have been remade this year apparently? What? What? Why? Don't watch that one and watch the original, even though I don't know that it's worth your time. Watch the OGE? Yeah. It's from like two, it's literally 2002 or something.

Yeah. Come on. Come on. I don't know why it was remade. I couldn't find out why. No, no. Well, we can talk about that next week. When you talk cabin fever, it was on, uh, it was on, it's on Netflix. It's free for a few of Netflix.

Yeah. Yeah. And if you want to talk about this movie or cabin fever or any movies, you can get at us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. You can email us at, where all family owns at Gmail.com. I think that's it. Yeah, tea shirts are in the works. Yeah, we'll just keep telling you that until you forget. Is that how it works? No, until we have them. And then we've got some other special stuff that's way off in the horizon. Yeah, we're excited. In the middle distance, I would say. Okay, okay.

I like that. We'll be doing this show a long time. We have. Yeah, exciting news. Yeah, you guys are gonna like it. You're gonna like it. But later, the later. Like, probably not for probably not for months. Katie. Alan. Nope, I don't do this to you, but thanks for listening to another episode.
