Werewolf Ambulance: A Horror Movie Comedy Podcast - Episode 379- Burnt Offerings (1976)

Episode Date: May 16, 2022

In this week's episode, we're just rolling around in some of our favorite actors to watch: you've got Karen Black, Oliver Reed, Bette Davis, and Burgess Meredith (kinda) in the 1976 creepy film "Burnt Offerings." Special topics for your consideration include: a special message for new listeners, things you can get away with when you're Oliver Reed, hairstyles as a plot device, striving to be like Bette Davis, and a real lack of concern for children's safety in the 70s. Two of our favorite weird movies that we've covered over the years feature some of these actors. You may enjoy Episode 123- "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?" and Episode 177- "The Brood."  Find us online: Support us at patreon.com/werewolfambulance where you can hear us discuss an action movie (or almost at least usually an action movie) in our monthly bonus episodes-- voting is up now for this month's film!

He's a medieval night. Is that right? I'm on the Tenth Crusade. Russ gives us a one-star review that says politics. That's the title, Politics. Didn't know I was listening to a political show.

Hey, Russ, it's a horror movie comedy podcast. So, We are two human beings that exist in 2022 America. Yeah. We have a modicum of a platform. Yeah. And if I didn't, I would feel remiss if I, if we didn't say, yeah, we support trans everybody. We support everybody. We support you. Except for the woodchipper. Yeah. Oh, you fucking piece of the shit.

And like, uh, uh, are my political theories always well articulated? No, they're not. Well, they're probably going to offend you, probably. Not most of you. Yeah. Just bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.

the ancient night. too. Don't, first of all, don't fuck up our algorithm. What do you say? And don't fucking message us on Instagram to say you're leaving. Blah bye. Bee's a turb.

I try to engage with you, which is the thing you said I wouldn't do. Suck a duke. Anyway, starting off on a very positive note. I don't even know why we're mad, really. I don't think we're actually mad my opinion two thousands of people. Hey! And just be kind. Katie. Alan. But we're here to talk about a movie this week. Oh we sure are. We're here to talk about a movie that I believe was suggested to us. No I think you came up with it because we've never done it. Oh that's true. Because Karen Black and I ever read. the tha'a' th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that. that that that that that that th. th. th. th. K. K. K. K. K. K.

Oh man, he's chewing the scenery in a most delightful way.

Love that man. We're doing burnt offerings. Can I tell you something that will possibly shock you? I love it. Do you know how old Oliver Reed was in the making of this movie? 36. He's younger than me! I would have guessed 52. No, no, no, no. I looked in the mirror and I was like, you're doing great. Because he was 61 when he died in 2001? Okay, well I wasn't doing the math, I was just looking at his face. But I'm just saying like, he wasn't old when he died. No, he wasn't, you're right. So... He? Wow.

I mean, great-looking guy. Would every day. Any day of the week. But holy shit, he is younger than I am in the jury. He has abused himself in ways that you can't even imagine. And I've been very abusive to myself, so. I just, I can't imagine being both lantern-jawed and barrel-chested. Like he got the best of both worlds.

Yeah, perfect specimen. Yeah. It's insane and terrifying also. He's just, your dad's like drunk friend that you're like, oh I want to be around because he's going to say something wild, but I don't want to be too close because there's definitely going to be furniture flying at some point. When I go to bed tonight, I'm going to lock my door. Two times. Uh, the same name. You ever read it? No. No, me either.

I didn't know it was a book until I started doing research on this. Oh really? Had you seen this movie before? No, I had not. First time, long time. All right. Also, quick, this movie. One of the first big scares in my life was because of dark shadows. Do you remember what it was?

There was a werewolf in one episode. And I just, I was probably like four. Oh, baby. Yeah. And then you started a show called Werel Famous When you were like 40. Four again. That fabulous film, Four Again. Yes. I don't wait. What is the plot of Four Again?

It's like 18 again, but different. Okay. But you're like kind of good at using the potty. No, my parents are blown away because I'm wicked good at using the potty and want to get a job. This movie starts off with how every movie in the 70s started with someone driving somewhere. Driving in a car through the country. With the improbable coupling of Karen Black and Oliver Reed. What do these two

see in each other? I don't know. They have zero chemistry together, they really don't. But such charisma individually that it works. Yeah, they really do. And I also thought the kid playing Davy was good. Davy ruled. Davey was great. Loved him. Yeah. And they are going to look at a summer rental.

That turns out to be a mansion. Yeah, Karen Black looks at it and she says, what a waste. What is the waste? That it's run down down down down down down down down down down down down down down down, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, yeah, yeah, yeah, th really really really really really really really really really, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, thi, thi, yeah, yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th.

Yeah, thi. Yeah, what a waste! What is the waste? That it's just so strapping it? That it's run down. Oh, that it's run down. Oh, that it's run down. Yeah. She's being very, very judgey about how they're keeping up the house.

I see. Well, that explains a lot. Yeah. I thould she in this movie that I think Oliver Reed is just ad-libbing. Okay. Because they walk up to the house and he quotes from charge of the light brigade. He's like, once more into the breach or whatever. Into the Valley of Death, Road the 600. And it's like, oh man, let's just Oliver Reeve, like off the cup, let's go. I know smart things. I'm drunk and I can recite poetry.

Let's do this. Yeah. I love that the handyman says, Yeah, instead of here, I love him. That guy was everywhere for a hot second in the 70s. Yeah, yeah, he's like an actor that would like show up on, you need a town drunk in your TV show, we got him. Good character actor. His name is Dub Taylor. Oh nice. I love that. It was the original dubstep

artist. Oh wow, did he drop the beat? He's Skrilix's dad. What happened? Is that still around? Scripps? No, not that. I wouldn't call another human that. Oh yeah, dub stuff, I'm sure. Who knows? I'm almost 50 years old. You know more about modern day hip-hop than I do. That's true. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I got th. I got th. I got th. I got the th. I got the th. I've the th. Yeah. Yeah. I've th. Yeah. I've th. I'm the the th. I'm th. Yeah. I'm their their their their their their their their th. Oh, their their their their their their their their. Oh, I'm their. Oh, I'm their. Oh, I'm their. Oh, I'm their. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, the the the the the th. the the the the the the the's true. Yeah. I got my finger on the pulse of the streets. I stopped listening to new things entirely in the year 2002. Oh, I have my 20-year anniversary of not being able to find new music that I like. Well, I have a problem. That's why I have Nelly lyrics to tatoed on my ass. We meet Wallace, played by Dub Taylor, who takes him in the house and is like, you'll get, get, good, do, and then walks away from them and goes to get

Ros, who is my favorite character in this movie? Yeah, I like Ros a lot. So much smoking has gone on in that woman's life. That woman loves to smoke. That, that rasp that she has? I love it. Oh, oh, so good. I wanna take a cigarette break with Ros. I love when Wallace calls her a grouchy old bastard.

That was very funny for some reason. Wallace, can you take that mirror outside? It's cracked. You'll crack too, you're groucetty, thioult, the old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard old bastard, babb to me. She decides that she's going to change the rent amount based on people's answers to her questions. Pretty sure that's illegal. Dad, is it okay if I go outside and mess around? You're 12.

It sounds like he's going into the city and just see what he can find. Yeah, trying to get into some trouble. I think I saw a porn theater on the way into this house. Oh, so we go, Davy goes outside to mess around while they meet with Ross and Arnold. Arnold is Burgess Meredith. What a fucking treasure. What's he doing in this movie? Nothing.

Sitting and doing a little bit of treasure. What's he doing in this movie? Nothing, sitting and doing a little bit of talking. It's like, I'm gonna play, I'm gonna play Arnold like super effeminate at first and I'm gonna drop that and I'm just gonna go into regular as Burgess Merritt of the talk. I'm gonna be super excited about looking at a child out a window. If anyone was that excited about looking at my child, I would freak the fuck out. There are so th. th. th. th. th. th. that that that that that th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thu thu thu thu-up thu, the the thu-upin' the the the the the the the the the the the the the th.

There are so many red flags in this opening gambit that the Allardices give them. This is, yes, it's like the way they're talking about the house is why the house takes care of itself. Yeah. Like, the house is our lifeblood. And you're like, what? What? He's looking at the kid outside of his full of beans.

Full of beans. Full of beans. Kids outside farting. And they're like, yeah, yeah, no, 900 bucks for the summer. That's really cheap. A good deal. Yeah, you just have to feed mother. That is insane.

Mother never even leaves her room. She'll hardly be any trouble. Nope. What? Nope. I think I would just look at my watch and get the fuck out of there. Sorry, what's that, Davy? I gotta go.

My son's outside messing around. He broke his leg. We've got to run. I love that. kid falling just like, ah! Kids falling down is very funny. No one can deny that. There's a whole subreddit on it. Are kids falling down? Big fan.

See, that's where you're so much younger than I am. You look at the Reddits. That's true. Yeah. I think there's a lot of older people on Reddit, though. Oh for sure. Yeah, yeah, just not not tha tha tha, tha, 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 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. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. th. th. th. th. the. th. the. that's that's th. that's th. that's for sure. Yeah, yeah, just not this one. Yeah. Hurts your eyeballs. Well, I'm too busy trying to save Zelda now. You guys have been working on that for a really long time. It's a really long game. So they leave and they're like, let's go back to the city and think about it. And Wallace brings in a plant that he's going to throw away and Arthur's like don't throw it away look it's a lie yeah it's like what about that look a rule the end that's a wrap on

Wallace everybody yeah Karen Black says to Oliver Reed I thought you were impossibly rude which he 100% was not but this movie should really be called things you can get away with when you're Oliver Reed because it's a recurring theme. Yeah he's he's got her all pissed off because he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he to to th th th th to th to to th to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. to to to to to th. th.

He thi thi thi thi thi the theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. the. thee. the. the. the you're Oliver Reed because it's a recurring theme. Yeah. He's got her all pissed off because he doesn't want to rent the house, which is a totally reasonable reaction. And she's like not having it, getting mad, and he just goes right for her boob and she's like, reaches her tiddy right away. Grabs a titty, gives it a squeeze. She's like, ha ha ha ha ha I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I, I, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, I thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th. th. th. th, th.

She's like, ah ha ha ha ha, I guess you can do that when you're Oliver Reed. I was like, you think they had a talk about

that? They had a talk where like before the scene, Oliver Reed was like, yes, I'm going to grab thine titty before we... Can I give you my honest opinion? Yeah, 100% no. And she was like, it's a living. It's like, my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my t's like, my t's like, my tits, my tits, my tits, my tits, tits, tits, tits, tits, tits, tits, tits, tits, tits, tits, ti, ti, ti, ti, ti, ti, ti, ti, ti, I's is. I's is. I's, I's, I's is. I's is. I's is. I's is. I's is, I's is, I's is, I's is. I's is. I's is, I's is. I's is. I's is. I's is. I's is, t. I's t. I's t. I's ti. I's ti. I's ti. I's like, ti. I's like, today. today, ti. today, today, today, today, today, today, ti. I'm ti. I'm ti. I's t living. It's a living. She's like, my tits are great. So they decide to rent the house against Oliver Reed's Better Judgment. Yeah. And they bring along Betty Davis. Aunt fucking Elizabeth. I love Betty Davis so much. You know how I feel about Betty Davis.

She is a fucking champ. She's so good. It's weird to see her in a role, like a likable role. Yeah, yeah. Because that's not the characters she typically. Yeah, yeah. I 100% thought when I saw her in the cast that she was going to be mother. Yeah, right.

Yeah, she's gonna be the evil thing in the attic. But she's not. She loves the th is the th her nephew so much? Yeah, her nephew and her great nephew seemingly. Yes, them both, yeah. Even though she's sitting in the back seat, just fucking huffing a cigarette down with that child. It was the 70s. Kids would smoke then. Secondhand smoke didn't happen yet.

No, definitely not. And these people are just being so cavalier about the care of an octogenarian in their home. Uh-huh. When they're taking a septagenarian with them. Yeah, I guess she's easy to take care of. I was like, why aren't they hanging out? She's literally six years older than the aunt that you've brought with you.

What they've told us is that mother, I see, I see light mango, mother doesn't like anyone to come near her. She's totally secluded. Doesn't want anyone in her room. Uh-huh. So you can just leave food in her sitting room, and that's it. Three times a day. That's all you have to do. Nope, would not do it.

100% no. But Mary and Karen Black is like very happy to take ownership of this responsibility. Sure. And I don't get why. So I think that like I think this movie is like hitting social commentary real hard. Okay. So I think like they are a city family who is going out to the country to live that life for a little while. Okay. Because they can afford to. They can do, even though, like.

That's not the implication they can do, even though like... That's not the implication though, yeah, but they must be able to have a summer home. It's like the vibe of it rather than the, like, and it's almost like a commentary on that like living beyond your means to present in a certain way. Okay. And she is like a commentary on like the, like, the traditional mother figure in American culture of like, she's like, I'll take care of every to to to to to have to have to have to have the to have the the to have the the the the the the their their to have their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the vibe the vibe, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's the vibe the vibe the vibe the vibe the vibe the vibe the vibe the vibe the vibe the vibe the vibe the vibe 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 th thi thi thi, 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, in American culture of like, she's like, yeah, I'll take care of everything. I'll feed everybody and I'll take care of everybody and I'll be happy to do it.

She's like, no one goes up these stairs but me. I will take care of her completely. What if you get diarrhea one day and you just can't, you know? How, that table with all the photographs of the same people over and over again? I swear to God one of them was Lizzie Borden. I think one of them was a famous photo of Lizzie Borden. Oh, probably. Yeah. You know that I automatically thought of the rock and roll singer from the black roses

episode. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I know you did. We also see as they arrive, Oliver Reed slapping his aunt on the ass. I guess you can do that when you're Oliver Reed. There's no way that Oliver Reeve and Betty Davis weren't going like toe toe toe drinking. Oh, they weren't going shot for shot. One hundo. And she's probably putting him down most nights.

Oh, yeah. She must have been a fucking delight. tha. tha. tha. 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, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that's, that's, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, I I, I, I, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I'm thi. thi. thi. tho. tho. tho. tho. that's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I'm that's, that's, that's, that delight to hang out with. I think she's also quite a bitch. Yeah, yeah, but still like... Yeah, you understand Betty Davis's good. Yeah, for sure. And that would be my goal. I would be a sick fan to her. Oh, see, I just want to be Betty Davis, where I'm a bitch and everybody wants me to like them. It's like a thing I can never do. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, I just just just just just just just just just just just just just just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just just just I just just just just just just I just just just just just I just just I just I just just want I just want I just want I just want th th th th.

I feel like she started younger than me. I feel like you got to you got to go in hard at like eight and just keep rolling on that. I'm older than Oliver Reed in this movie. It's too late for me. I'm older than Betty Davis in this movie. What? No, I'm not. Don't you do that to me. She was born in 1908 in this movie. Yeah, I was good. My God, what a fucking delight.

Also, she was born in 1908 and is doing this movie in 1976 and she's going hard in the fucking paint and I love her for it. Yeah, she's doing a lot of acting. Hey, slave, Oliver Reed, I guess you can say that to your wife when you're Oliver Reed. I didn't even notice that. Why don't you come, why don't you come watch us fix the pool? I guess that's also something you can say when you're Oliver Reed. I can't, I have to keep leaving food for an old woman who's not eating the food and I'm not opening the door to see if she's still alive or not.

I think I would just be like if you don't respond I'm coming in. I'm sorry if you don't like it but you're my responsibility and I need to make sure you're not dead. Yeah or I'm just going to call an ambulance now. Yeah. Yeah. I'm

preemptively striking on this. Yeah exactly. But at one point well the food does eventually start disappearing which we find out why later. Yeah. So Davies is a mechanical genius. Davies shirtless in jeans with a belt. Davies 12. How does he know about engines? Your dad is a low-functioning alcoholic. You've got to figure out how to fix stuff after he breaks it. The implication is that Oliver Reed is a book boy, which I have, you know, I have no doubt that he is,

but he has also built like the proverbial brick shit house. He is a brick shit house. He's a huge dude. Yeah. And he's using a pair of pliers by like to twist a screw or something. And he's holding it like down so to trythe very tip fit and trying to twist and his hands are so sweaty he is so sweaty for this entire film yeah yeah yeah the booze is gonna leak back out of you yeah yeah yeah I was like oh shit I have Betty Davis's bangs yeah yeah yeah also I was like oh shit I have Betty Davis's bangs

hell yeah yeah they're like a little too short right now. I thought they looked great. I mean, I think they look great too. I feel self-conscious about them. So Davy's a mechanical genius. He fixes the pump to clean the pool out. Voila, the pool is a magnificent thing. But Oliver reads like, or Davies like, did you put the chlorine in? And all of her reads like, I don't give a shit about that. You're like, what? Again, ad-libbing.

Yeah, the kids like, OK. You gotta shock it, dad. You gotta put the chlorine in there. It keeps it sanitary. Yeah, I've been pissing in this thing for the last half hour. Constant. It's a victimless crime. Otherwise, you're just pissing in the bathtub. So when Marion, who is Karen Black, opens the music box that's upstairs with mother.

Do not fuck with this lady's music box. What have we learned from all of these horror movies? You never touch a music box. And when she does, she's mesmerized. So much so that she can't hear her child, her child calling for her. Why is her child calling for her? He wants her to come downstairs and get in the pool with it. Oh, this is not when Oliver Reed is drowning him.

This is when Oliver Reed finds a pair of glasses in the pool that have a shattered lens that he then puts over his eye. Why? Whose glasses are those? I don't know? We never find out too. Okay, interesting. But they drive him to violence. This scene where he is drowning the child is a lot. The water whoopin that Davy gets. It goes on for a really long time and it's awful. He keeps like letting him up to breathe and then shoving him back down. Uh-huh. And I was like, fucking get to breathe and then shoving him back down. And Betty Davis is screaming.

And I was like, fucking get in there and stop him. You're tougher than he is, right? And so Davy cracks him across the bridge on those with the underwater goggles. Yeah. And that stops him and Davy's able to run away. Is that scripted? Or did that kid just have to beat all right all of them? Oh, God, I hope not. He certainly had that coming getting hit in the face. Yeah, 100%. 100%. And then we see him having the super bummer of a dream of his mother's

funeral with this incredibly scary driver, carriage driver. Yeah, the hearse driver. Also, was his mother's funeral in like the 1900s? Why was it the past? Yes. So far in the past. But that kid they get to play baby Oliver Reed is so well cast. Yeah, he looked just like him. The guy who played the Hearst Driver that is Anthony James.

So creepy. He looked like, uh, who's the big tall guy that's always with Ricky Dervace, Stephen Merchant. He looked like a regular-sized Stephen Merchant, with a terrifying joker smile. He's so upsetting. Yeah. When he shows up later in the movie, I wanted to poop. I was so scared. And this is really nice because you can absolutely buy Oliver Reed as a scary dad. Oh for sure. You know what I mean? Like when we've done like, I don't know, the conjuring and it's the guy from office space,

you're like, you're not that scary of a dad. Yeah. I don't remember who was a scary dad and that but that was the first thing I popped into my head. He's a dad and a scary movie. Ryan Reynolds. Yes, I was going to say Deadpool. Yes, Ryan Reynolds. I don't know what that means. He played Deadpool and I know what it means. I know what it means. I know what it means. I know what it means. I've seen them all. Anyway. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's like, it's like Pavlovian to me when someone says something about a comic book movie. I'm just like, I don't know what it means. So yeah, like not scary, especially because he's so ripped. Does that not make him scary or two because he could probably kick the shit out of you?

Yeah, I don't know. Someone who's that focused on their physique, I'm not worried about. You're like, you haven't eaten bread in three weeks like that. Yeah, I'm tasted life. Yeah, I'm tastasted life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life life. the life. that life.

I'm that's. I'm. I'm. I'm that. I've. I'm. I'm up to this point in the movie, I'm like, eh, this is just like a 70s gross-o movie. Yes. I don't know if I'm on board with this or not. Where are my supernatural elements? I strongly agree. I'm like, I get it, there's like a possession thing going on, but it's like a little

too Raymond Chandler close to home. Or Raymond Carver. Raymond Chandler is the detective guy. Yes, like get them confused all the time. Very different vibes. Well my brain's like Raymond C, just spit one out see what happens. Raymond Carver. Real Nick gave, Nick Cage situation. You do have a hard time with this too. But it's just like, oh it's a family mellow drama. Yeah. But when he starts drowning that kid I was like, all all. the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. to. to the to the to the th. to the th. to to th. to to to to to to to to to to to. to 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.

Yeah, the movie starts to like shift. And I'm like, okay, all right, all right.

I also love the Karen Black's hair looks exactly the same at all hours of the day and night, no matter what she's doing until it doesn't, which I think is very intentional and I liked a lot. Yes, how her style completely changes from like regular 70s mom to... To a fortune dollar? 1870s actress? I do not know. So she comes out and looks at the pool.

She's like, I didn't really understand what she was so shocked about. She was like, everything is new again, but they, we saw them cleaning the pool. She's like, I didn't really understand what she was so shocked about. She was like, everything is new again, but they, we saw them cleaning the pool. Yes, but it looked like they had painted and the grass was all green now and like... Also, there was a giant cross behind the pool. Did you see that? No, I didn't. I don't know what that was doing there. Hmm. I did not notice that. I did not not not not not not not not not not not not not notice not notice not notice not notice not notice that. I 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 th th the the the th the the their their the the the their their them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them.

Yes, these people look so fucking good in robes. I look like a dumpy old dump. Here's Karen Reed. Here's Karen Black slinking along in her robe, you know? I look like I'm going in to play Madonna's dad in a video from the 80s, you know Captain Lou Albano?

Yes, I do. Oh, no, those Cindy Lopper's dad, Damn it fucked up! See Lopper's dad, yeah. All I can think of was Super Mario Brothers Super Show. A show which hates Italian Americans with a fiery passion. Wait, is that the show with the best theme song of all time? Swing your arms from side to side. From side to side. Dada, da da da, da, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the Mario, the Mario, the Mario, to the Mario, the Mario, to the mo, the the mo, the, the the, the, the, the, the, the, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the, the, the show, the, the, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the show, the thing they say is like, eggplant, a lasagna! And you're like, fuck off. I always think of the, uh, the Simpsons joke.

I'm an Italian, I don't have a job. Oh, hey. It's just like, let's take that to its logical, disgusting end point. That's a sentence joke that is probably 35 years old at this point. I'm an Italian I don't have a job. I'm an Italian I don't have a job. Why is it okay to be racist against Italians? I don't even mean racist I don't know what the word is but why is it okay? My people are so maligned. The fridge is filled with food. We're in the skinny-diving scene.

Oh, skinny-diving scene, yes, yes, yes. I wanted to skip over the uncomfortableness of the scene. So yes, these people look great in robes. They're out by the pool. Yeah. And they basically get mad that her husband tries to fuck her. Yeah. He's... I don't know. She was very much like, there was like an innuendo and then like there was a turn. And then there's an extreme turn when she sees there's a light on in the attic. Yes, this whole scene is very thiiiiiiiiiii th. th. th. th. th. th. T. T. T. T. This whole scene th. This whole scene is thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi's thi's thi's thi. thi's thi's thi's thi's thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th. Yeah th.

Yes, this whole scene is very uncomfortable. Yeah. Very like... Well especially the whole thing of like she says stop and he doesn't.

His hands are enormous. Yeah, which is very upsetting. I kind of wanted him to drop trial because I wanted to see what he was swinging. Yeah, I'd like to see Oliver Reed's Dick. I want to say he's naked and devils. I want to say he's naked and devils. Okay. I. I. I. I he. I the he. I he. I the he. I he. I he. I the the he. I he. I he. I the he. I he. I th. I th. I want th.

Doot, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, doo. Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh. Oh. He has a lot of pubes.

Hold on. Sure. Okay. Okay.. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. th. th. th. th. that. 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. Oh. Oh. that. Oh. Oh.

Okay. Okay. Yeah. It's fine. It's a big dude. Honestly, I'm disappointed. No, it's true. Taller men always look like they have smaller penises. Yeah, yeah. Let's go with that. Six-foot-two vegetarian over here. There are a, wow. I. I had no, I would have guessed that there was not a shortage of pictures or pictures of his Wang. Yeah. Well, we lost Katie, everybody. Yeah, no, I'm listening.

Right now he's just kneeling. Okay, forget. This is Michael Fastbender all over again. Yes. Anyway, this is so upsetting. The whole thing is very flirty at first. Yes. Anyway, this is so upsetting. The whole thing is very upsetting because it's very flirty at first. Yes. And then she gets super fucking angry with him for trying to escalate it.

Right. And then he doesn't stop. Yeah. And you're just like, I hate both of you stop. Please, this is all so upsetting. And it almost like she seems of two minds at this point. Yeah, I guess so. th so I I I I I I I th so th so th so th point. Yeah I guess so. It's just so emotionally intense that I was I was unprepared for it. And I think it's that 70s thing. These films just

feel more emotionally intense for some reason like like if they remade don't look now today it would not have that same intensity. No. Speaking of naked men that I love to look at naked. So, I think about that sex scene like once a week. That's all. Sorry, I blew that stop sign. I was thinking about the sex scene. Honestly, I haven't had a driver's license for two years and I blew that stop sign. I can get one tomorrow.

So, we go back to the house where they're looking for food and the fridge is jammed with food. And then Aunt Elizabeth goes to turn on the light and it doesn't turn on and she's like, uh, Oliver Reed, you gotta fix that. And he's like, I'll take care of it in the morning and Davy goes in and it turns right on. He's like a whole case of ding ding dogs back there. How'd you see ding ding dungingsingsingsingsings in ths in ths in thons in thons in the thons in thons in theiringsings ths in in in their ths in things things ths in a in a thoings in an their and Davy goes in and it turns right on. He's like a whole case of ding dung. I think I see ding dung's back there. How'd you see ding dung's in an absolutely black room? Children can see in the dark, they're like cats. It's wild. I've got ding-donged radar. I can also see ho-a-fud-fud-fud-I'-fud-Iahahahahah yeah Fudge Round for sure. Oh you like a Fudge Round. I fucking love a Fudge Round.

Hmm. Fudge Round in my day Fudge Rounds are 25 cents. Well yes, all dead, a little snacky cake there. I grew up near a Dolly Madison outlet which was fucking awesome. Yeah, yeah, nice. That's all. It's all today about it. A lot of snowballs in my life. This episode is brought you by fudge rounds. This episode is brought you by how hungry I am right now. So it's like the house is doing certain things or certain people. Right, it's responding. Yes. In various ways, yeah. It likes Davy. Just like Burgess Meredith did.

Full of beans! And then Oliver Reed is outside like hacking away at something with a machete? Yeah, you like that? I dig. Shirtless Oliver Reed, who I assume was in his 50s. It's well put together for an older man. He really is such a good, like, low-key madman, though, where he's not freaking out, but he's just simmering, you know Yeah, it's an angry dad energy.

Yeah, well not my not my angry dad. Okay, yeah, okay. But he's also, I felt like the scenes were Hattie and Davy are like running through the cemetery and running around in the woods, like he was really good with that kid. Yeah, they had a really good rapport. he he seemed like he seemed like he he he he he seemed like he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he seemed like he he he seemed like he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he th. He th. He's th. He's th. He's just he's just he's just he's just th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. He's just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just th. He th. He th. He th. He th. He th. He th. He th. He th. He th. He th. He th. He th. He th. He the the the the the the the the theeeean theeeeee thee the theee the the the the the the the th and running around in the woods, like he was really good with that kid. Yeah. They had a really good rapport. He seemed like he was fun to be around. Yeah, it just seemed like they had a good relationship.

Yeah. And then at this point, Betty Davis starts to feel sick. Yeah, she starts to look colder. I, in this, this is like withan makes it to old age so she can be Betty Davis Because wouldn't she be? Amazing yeah, I cannot wait for that. I hope I live to see it. I was also thinking I wish that accent was still a thing That just like eats East Coast rich accent that she has where you're putting on air Yeah, but I can't do it without a Pittsburgh accent because I'm disgusting hey hey you put on airs. But I can't do it without a Pittsburgh accent because I'm disgusting.

Hey, you're putting on airs. Putting on airs. But that thing like the William F. Buckley, we're like, are you British or rich? Yes, exactly. I mean, she's definitely of that vibe though, because she's like, I'm just exhausted. I don't feel well, and she's wearing khakis wearing khakis a button up pearls and a blazer and it's like I wear sweatpants because I'm a poor when I don't feel good. So she goes back up to bed yeah just go back to sleep some more. Betty Davis is at her best when

she's doing like a skeptical face. Yeah I know better than this but I'm just gonna go along with it for now. She ever to have to go on to to to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep to sleep 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 their their their s.

Yeah. I know better than this, but I'm just going to go along with it for now. Was she ever on Golden Girls? Not that I feel like she would have been great on Golden Girls. Yeah. She would have been a good villain. Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna burn this community to the ground. The whole of Miami. When he has the dream in a week somebody's like, oh, I was having my mother funeral dreams again. And Karen Black's like, no you weren't. Fuck you, Karen Black.

You're fine, everything's fine, nothing's wrong here. She's a very terrible partner. No way, she's going to take on her grandchild from her five-year-old monster baby as her own child. That's right. I was like, what are you fucking talking about? No, it's a live three. I would be alive. Spoiler alert for that movie. Do you like how Oliver Reed is chugging a corrs while wearing a gardening glove? Take the glove off. Do you like I want to get upsetging a corrs while wearing a gardening glove? Take the glove off. Do you like when he gets upset because he has a waking nightmare about the hearse man?

Straight up hallucinating that scary driver, yeah. And then shakes the beer into his own face? Have you ever done that, shaking a beer into your own face? No, I should though. I do love how the, like, you don't kind of don't notice it, the score, the score, the score, the score, the score, the score, 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, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, the the the too, the too, the too, is, is, is, is, too, is, is, too, is.s.s, is.s, is.a, is a too, is a too, is love how the, like, you don't cut, you kind of don't notice it. The score is like building and building and building, and then suddenly he looks back and the carriage is gone and the score just harsh cuts. Yeah, it's really good.

Yeah, so much so that Missy was upstairs, which she's like, oh, why did you pause the movie? Huh? That's like I didn't. But that's, but that's, but that's, but that's, but that's, but that's, but that's, but that's, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

Right at midnight. But they all jump ahead. They all jump ahead to midnight. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ah, okay. And that's when he wakes up and runs to Davy's room.

This super patterned wallpaper is enough to make a person go mad. It's too much. Especially because at points it doesn't line up and it's driving me insane. You're gonna put that wallpaper up, you gotta have it perfect. Yeah, hire somebody. Yeah. I was very upset about him breaking into Davy's room, yeah, until I realized that something was going wrong. That there was a gas leak situation.

Yes. This window won't open. I'm Oliver Reed. I'll be breaking this window out now with a fucking baseball bat. And then he's holding Devy out the window to get him fresh air. Like a Jackson child. And then, yes, he just hands him to Karen Black and walks away and I was like, yes, please hold this 12-year-old boy basically on the roof. He's flailing at this point because he can't breathe. He doesn't bring him back in to hand him to him. He just kind of like, he gets out of the way. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's, he. He's, he. He's, he. He's, he. He's, he. He's, he. He's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's just, he's just, he's just, he's just, he. He's just, he's just, he's. He's. He. He's. He. He. He. He. He's. He's. He's. He's.

He's just gets gets gets to th to to th th to to th to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to the the the the the way. Why don't you grab this? I gotta go. He's like, he's totally a dude that would be like, hey I'm going to the back seat, grab the wheel. Yes, yes. And his salmon color jammies are exceptional. I was like, that is a confident mothucker. Yeah. You're nailing it. Those look great. Pink business pajamas. Yeah. I love business pajamas. Yeah. close his own fucking windows. He's got hands.

I hated when Karen Black and Betty Davis were fighting about, like, Betty Davis is like, yeah, I went into his room to get a blanket because I was cold. I don't think I did anything in there though. And Karen Black's like, oh. Fucking bitch. I don't think I did anything in there though. And Karen Black's like, Oh, fucking bitch! Oh, yeah, it was very weird, very upsetting. Yeah, so Karen Black is pointing the finger at Betty Davis that she basically closed the windows and turned on the gas. Yeah. But I don't, she didn't. No.

And she's sleeping. And Oliver Reed rolls in. They have this fight. And she falls Oliver, th. She th. sleeping. And Oliver Reed rolls in. They have this fight. And then she falls asleep. And Oliver Reed comes in. And he's like, wakes her up. And he goes, did I wake you? Like, of course you fucking did.

Remember how she was sleeping until you started talking? Hey, hey, hey, I'm gonna just decide to sleep when you feel like it. Like, I'm gonna come here and be real nice to you because my wife is mean to you and I'm sorry. I'm gonna go yell at her now. I'll be right back. I'm gonna go yell at her. And she's already got the change of look. She's, I think this is when she's dressed like a fortune to her.

Yeah, because she's got like this. Yes, yes. And he goes down and straight up scolds his wife. He does, but you're allowed to do that in the 70s, I think. And Oliver Reed. And Oliver Reed. Things you can do when you're Oliver Reed. And then Davy is holding? Why is he just holding a crystal bowl? I don't know.

But if you walk into a room. My talk to text spelled a B-U-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I, th-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, and things, and things, and things, and things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, th-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I'm-things, th. I-I-I-I-things, thi-I-I-things, things, and things, and things, things, thin, talk-to-tech spelled a B-U-L-L crystal bowl. Fuck me! Why was Davy just holding that crystal bowl? If you walk into a room and someone is holding a crystal punch bowl that is larger than their torso. And they're just sort of holding it with two hands not close to their body. Like examining it, just looking at in the light. Also, he shouldn't have been doing that, but okay. They're turned away from you. You're welcome to go, yep.

And then get pissed when they break it. And lie on the floor where they're going, ah, a who, a who, a who, hoo, who, holding a piece of broken glass in your hand. Poor Davy. Dave, thee, why, for Davy in this movie. Why? Why? What's up? She's screaming at him. She's being terrible to him. And then Oliver Reed comes in and breaks it up. Yeah. Yeah. And Betty Davis doesn't look so good. No, Davy calls them and it's like, hey, it's Ann Elizabeth. She's gray? She's all over gray now. She's all over gray now. But and is like, hey, it's Ann Elizabeth. She's gray?

She's all over gray now. She's all over gray now. But I was like, fucking Betty Davis going for it right now. She's like writhing and staring into the camera. I wrote, that was a very dramatic death. It is not her death scene. So, Ben and Marion are still in a fight at this point. He's basically saying to her, only I get to abuse Davy.

And it's like, whoa. And he's like, I'm going to go call the doctor. You stay up here with her and shuts her in the room. Yeah. And then he goes down and calls the doctor and he just gets busy signals, and then she goes down and calls the doctor without a problem. Right. And the the the, they were just, he comes back up and he's like, no doctors. Yeah. It's 1970s. You got a car. You could drive her to the hospital. There are hospitals. Like they were just gonna let her die. Yeah. And they do. Well yeah. Well, they've, yeah.

Yeah. The scariest scene in the movie happens. Tell me about it. He hears a noise outside. It looks outside and it's the Hearst Driver. Yeah. He's back in the room with Aunt Elizabeth. Yeah. And the Hurst Driver shows up. He's so scary. And then the Hurst Driver's at her door. Yeah. And he wheels in a coffin, cut to her funeral. Yeah. Where Marion is not. Not there. Why was she not there? Because she had to take care of the old lady. Yes. We also see her at this point upstairs in the old lady's sitting room, eating the food. And I thought, well, you know, all of this seems worth it, just have some time and a goddamn meal to yourself. And I thought, well, you know, all of this seems worth it, just to have some time and a goddamn meal to yourself. You had to get some- What I wouldn't give to have a meal by myself.

Just go upstairs and needs some liver and onions or whatever the fuck she was eating? Would eat? If I could eat it alone. It's a good source of iron. Yeah. And now she's like wearing this like, like, thrown. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to to to to to to to to to to to to to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have a to have a to have a to have a to have a to have a to have a to have a to have a to have a to have a to have a to have a to have cape and I'm thinking where did she pack this for the summer? No, these are clothes that were provided for her by the house. By the house, yeah, yeah. And Oliver Reed says nothing about what she's wearing. No, he does not seem to notice her change in appearance and demeanor. Why are you dressed like a Marvel Superhero slash Fortuneteller? I don't know what that that means. Just like in a very elaborate c. this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this thiia thia thia thia thi. I I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th. th is th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. th. thii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi.ller. I don't know what that means. Just like in a very elaborate costume. Oh, I see.

I see what you did. I see what you did there. But I did that. You heard what your mother said. Just drink out of this goblet. I just want a glass. It's a silver goblet. Yeah, drink out of your goblet Davy.

And they're both like, I'm not hungry anymore. And it's like, well, Davy is hungry, so please someone eat with Davy. He's had a hard day. And Oliver Reed says to her, what is it that you know? What you've known all along? Yeah. Yeah. There's some real leaps of logic here. Yeah. He also has not at any point gone up to check on the old lady. No. Like, it's not his, not his job. Not his responsibility. Yeah. He's a child torturer and pool cleaner and. Gardner with a machete and a lot of rage. Dissertation writer? Yes. For... He, the implication is that he's too smart to have a job. Holding out for our management position, I guess. Or is he going for his doctorate?

Like what's happening here? I don't know. I thought, oh he's too old for that. No, he's thirty six. Oh my god. And he just wants to leave. He's like, can't just pack pack up and go? And she's like, we can't abandon the old lady. But like, he has every right to assume that old lady is dead. It's not unreasonable to want to abandon her.

Yeah. Yeah. She's dead. Did we mention that when the family left their told? They just left a note for them What if they canceled their plans? Yeah, just a note on the front door. So what though, this movie, I have to say at this point, I was like, gosh, this movie is long.

Yeah. Yeah, it is, it is running at the two hour mark. Yeah. So this is when the house starts shedding shingles and boards and replacing them? Yes. That's wild. It is wild. And Alvareed flips his shit and tries to basically throw Davy into the car. Terrifies his son.

Terrifies his son. But he himself is terrified. Yeah. He just wants to get his son out of there. And the house throws a tree at them as they're trying to drive away. First he straight drives by Marian. He just leaves her there. And the kid, which is really upsetting to the child. Yeah, that's my mom.

Yeah. And yes, the tree falls to prevent them leaving. So he rams it three, four times. There is no damage to that wagon. That's a steel vehicle. All-Steal. All-American-made steel. All-American-made steel. His dad gets out, so Oliver Reed gets out of the car and is like hacking at the tree. Yeah, fighting it. While the son is just honking the horn. I was like, you're gonna make him more insane, stop.

Because you're literally driving me insane right now. Don't antagonize your insane father. That's a thing I know. Yes. And then the grass starts wrapping around his legs. Yes. I was like, oh shit, it's not just the house. No, it's everything. Yeah. Davy spends like practically this entire movie just basically sobbing. Yeah. It's hard to watch. Yeah. Yeah. I'm sure he's fine now. Both the character and the actor. Marian comes out and gets them and drives them back to the house. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the the the the the the house 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. the. the. the. the. the. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. the now. Both the character and the actor. Marion comes out and gets them and drives them back to the house. And she is like, you're like, oh, she's definitely part of it at this point. She's just very calmly driving them back to the house.

And he said you're expecting this because you're part of this. Yes. And then he goes into a fugue state. After he looks at her, and she's the hearse driver. That's right, yes. Yes. Which, like, I'm not real sure how the hearse driver sort of fits into it all. Like obviously it's a part of his childhood that's a traumatic and upsetting memory. Yeah. But it's just like, how does the house know about it? I'm assuming it's just like trying to show you your your your your your yourthe poop out of you. Okay. Because it thrives on poop? I don't. I mean it seems to be draining life force from people like that's like it did to Aunt

Elizabeth and that's why they were so excited about Davy because it's a child full of beans. Right and Marion's hair is going gray. Yeah very quickly. Yeah. She's like her aunt, her aunt who was gray by the time she turned 33. Yeah. And it was like, well, how old are you Karen Black? Yeah. Karen Black. So Oliver Reed then is in a fugue state. Davy is like not all that concerned about it. I think I'd be concerned. He's like, hey dad, watch me swim. Dodd. And you just told your mom you you you you you you you you you you th you th th your mom th your mom t t t t tod tol tol tol tod tod toled tod tod tod. th th th th th th th th th th th th th tho- 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 th th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the told. told. tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.. Dod, Dodd. And he just told your mom you weren't going to get in the deep end, you little shit. And then we realize that he's not catatonic. He's being imprisoned in his own body. Right. Because Davy starts drowning in a...

He's like, cool turns into a wave pool. Oliver Reed can't get to him. He's like forcing his body 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 their. their. thoom. thoom. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. the the the the the the the the the the the the their. the their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. th. th. th. th. tho. He. He. He's tho. Hea. tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom. Anda. tooof. tooe. And th crawl across the ground. This is a nightmare. Yeah. Like a literal nightmare is something happening to your child and you can't get to them. It's very scary. Yeah. And Marian comes running out at this point and does a beautiful dive into the water. Beautiful dive into the water. Gotta appreciate Karen Black's utter refusal to wear a bra. Yeah. And just a hot tip. If you're rescuing a drowning child, turn them over so their face isn't in the water anymore. Yeah. She's carrying him face down, which means she just keeps dunking him. You've got to flip him on their back hair.

It's really a film about the dangers of having a pool on your property. And parents who are only half-care. And Ben says, I try to get to him. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 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 I tried to get to him. Yeah. Yeah, and that's when Marian's like, yeah, we should go. Yeah, Davy's crying and saying I hate it here. Yeah. And it's like, yes, you have every right to. And it's like, but this is the time that Davy has to nearly die for her to care.

Like, thii. Like how many times does it happen? Because he nearly dies three times. Oliver Reed nearly kills him. Yeah. Gas leak? Yeah. The gas leak? And then almost drowns. And if she was going to death, which is the implication when he broke the bowl, that's

four. Well don't forget when Dad kept ramming a tree with him in the front seat without a seat belt on. Yeah, lots that's, the 70, 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 their, that's that's that's their, their, their, their, their their their, their, their, their their 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. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. theaseaseaseaselakea. theakseek. teaklakea. teaklakea. teaklakea. theaklakea. Yeah, thea. Yeah, the the th an abuse. Yep, yep, yep, yep. And now her hairdo is back to normal. Yeah. How does that happen? The house released her, I guess. But it doesn't. Because she's like, I can't just run upstairs and tell the old lady.

He's like, could you not? Yeah. And the kid goes, could you not? She says, I got totalk to Mrs. Allerdice. Um, someone please just listen to poor Davy. He matters. Who? I do love those high-waisted super flare jeans she's wearing. Oh yeah, those are hard to pull off. Yeah.

I'll be glad when all this baggy shit is over again. What do you mean? Baggy jeans? Yeah. Yeah. So she goes back upstairs and I have the note, I bet this is gonna be a big shocker. Oliver Reed eventually follows her in. And it's like, don't leave Davy alone. Yeah.

Yeah. He looks like he, Oliver Reed, looks like a sponge that is filled with water. He's leaking. Walking up the steps like, splooosh, splooch. Yeah, you can practically hear it. So wet. Yeah.

And perhaps, Danny will be better off without these parents. He could start a new life where someone actually teaches him how to swim, because he's 12. But first, he has to see. So Oliver Reed goes up the steps, finally goes into Mrs. Allerdace's room, and he's like, excuse me, I'm looking for Marion. Have you seen Marian? And we're all like, yeah, she's right there, dog.

That's your wife. That's your wife. Karen Black, what happened to you? She makes such a good evil face. She looks so scary. Yeah. evil face. She looks so scary. The makeup is good, her styling is good, her face is great. Yeah. Have you ever seen Trilogy of Terror? Also directed by Dan Carter, the guy who did this in Dark Shadows? I don't think so. It was a made for TV movie. That's three different

vignettes and they all star Karen Black. Oh. And the final one is her and a, I want to say, Zuni fetish doll. I could be getting the name wrong. That she unreps and it is a little marionette that attacks her and jaces her around the house. Oh, I love what dolls attack. Yeah, and it's, it's fan. The other two were like totally forgettable with the vignette, but the last one is fucking amazing. And at one point she has to make an evil face in that, you're like, god damn it, Karen Black, you're amazing. Great evil face.

Yeah. So she's all weird and elderly. And gray, super gray. Her eyes are gray. Her skin is gray, her hair is gray. She's wearing like this black, high-necked gown. Yeah. Yeah, she looks like like, the the the the the the the the the the the th. Yeah, th. Yeah. Yeah. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. tha. tha. tha. tha. thi. thi. th-a. th-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a. th-a. th-a. th-a. th-a. th-a. th-a. th-a. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She th. She looks looks looks looks looks looks looks th-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s tha-s tha-a-a-a-a-a-s tha looked like the woman from Return to Oz when she has those like huge shoulders. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Well that just shows our age difference. Fair enough. So Oliver Reed is so frightened by this that he swan dives, he does a lot of diving in this movement first of all. And when he

belly flops it's very funny. He swan dives out an upper window. And yeah, that's the toys. He probably does does does does does does does is is is is is th. He's th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thii. that's thi. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's thi. Yeah. Yeah. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. that's s. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that's that's th. 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 th. that's th. th. th. yeah, that's probably the end of the movie. That's everything's fine. He probably doesn't land on the windshield the car. Covering poor Davy in his father's brains. So much gore is this child. Oh, it is upsetting. And then Davy runs out of the car because you know dad gore. Yeah, I would get the fuck out there. And he runs over to the side of the house and the chimney goes. th. Oh. Oh. th. Oh. 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. th. th. th. the the the the th. 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 tie.

And falls on him. That's the end of Davy. Wow. I wrote, the cosmos do look lovely. The flowers are all bloomed now. Yeah, the house is all returned to its real self. And there's a, now in the photo array, there's like mug shots of Davy. But they were like the the the the the the the the the the the the the thia thia thia thia thuos. thuos. thuos. thuos. thus. thus. thus. thus. thoos. thoos. thoos. thoos. thoos. thoos. thoos. thoos. thoos. thoos. thoosos. thoosos. thoosos. thoos. thoos. thoos. thoos. thoos. thoos. thoos. thoos. thoos. thoos. thoos. thoos. thoos. tho-n. tho-n. tho-n. tho-n. tho-n't tho-n't tho-n't thoose-n't thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosan. tho were like black and white photos and someone colored with colored pencil.

Yes, they look shitty. Yeah, so. My last note says, wow, that was bleak and great. Yes. Yeah. Give me a rating on this movie. I loved it. Yeah.

We are being joined by Eli Bosnick of God-awful movies, Citation Needed, and D&D-Minus, scathing atheists, and one other one that is absolutely slipping my mind right now because he has so many podcasts.

Please just don't. I'm going to encourage you not to. I mean you can if you want, but like, oh it's real bad. This is the culmination of Katie's desire to do a Christian-themed horror film. Yeah.
