Your neighbor and mine. But mostly mine. Thomas Savinian. Thomas Savinas. Wow, he did it. Her first directorial debut. Has he directed anything after this? I think so.

Okay. I don't know what. I don't know what either. I don't have a small box in my hand once I could look it up. They're both unlocked, too. We're both holding our phones, but it's just like... Yeah, I just have the camera on with the facing me so I could see myself to see what you see. Ah, wish you could see the you that I see.

I'd see myself differently. Believe you. Believe you. Believe me. I'm so confused. If you could see the you that I see, see yourself differently. Believe me. This is Henry Rollins we're talking about. Yeah, known poet, Henry Rollins, multiple books of poetry. Oh, I have at least two of them in my home.

You know what they are quite bad. Are they on the same shelf as the Jewel book of poetry? No, that one got tossed when I went to college. I'm majoring in English now. They're on par. Let's be honest. I brought my peaches and my brushing teeth. Do you say I brought my peaches and my brushing teeth?

I put on my peaches and I'm brushing teeth. I like that you brought your peaches. I brought my peaches and I'm brushing teeth. Not my own. No, someone else is. The ones that I brush. I think I have fucking the pain away on my mind because when I walked in, you were singing peaches. Fuck the pain away.

Oh, I constantly have... Aggressive symbol clapping. Aggressive symbols. The best. Yeah, so good. I constantly have sucking on my tities like you wanted me calling me all the time, stuck in my head. So fucking good. Genius.

I love that she was like my age when she made that record. What would you like to contribute to this work meeting? Well, suck it on my tittyes like you wanted me. Call me all the time. Sucking on my tities. God bless her. Stay in school because it's the best. Stay in school.

It's the best. I-U-D-S-I-S. Okay, we're so close. We're going to get, we're going to get dinged for this. All right. So, we're talking about the Night of the Living Dead, the original 1990. There is no movie before this. This was not the movie he wanted to make, is my understanding.

It is not. Okay. But it does hew very closely to the original. So this was kind of like, am I understanding this correctly that this was kind of like a money grab for them because it had gone. The original had gone into the public domain? The original went to the public domain immediately. Oh.

Because the production company that, or the distributor or production company, never put a copyright on the credits. That's why we mail every podcast to ourselves. Exactly. Yeah. So. You're still doing that, right? Copyright, copyright. Copyright, copyright.

Say it three times, copyright appears. That's right. It's like a patent. That's how you get a patent, too. Sometimes you get general patent and it's a little confusing for Patent Oswald. Oh, yeah. He's been dead a long time. Patten Oswald?

Yeah. So, yeah, it was immediately in the public domain. They didn't make anywhere near the money they should have made on that. Sure. So, yes, this was an attempt to get rights back to them. But I think it was also, like, one of the big things that Romero wanted to do was right the wrong of the original Barbara. Because she is such a shrinking violet in that movie.

She's a wimp. She's nothing. She's nothing. Yeah. She's actually a hindrance. most of the time. Yeah. And he was like,

I'm going to write a bad ass Barbara. Yeah, it's a much better Barbara. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And a very distinctive looking human being. Yeah.

She's very attractive. Yeah, yeah, yeah, beautiful woman, but very, like, I can't think of anyone else that looks like her. Interesting. Maybe it was the haircut,

but I kept thinking about single white female. What's the lady from that? Jennifer Jason Lee? Yeah, I might have been the haircut. Or the other one? Not the other one. Okay.

Yeah, no, there's a vibe. Yeah, there's a... Wait, maybe the other one. Yeah. No. who's the main one? The one who kind of dropped out of acting. Yeah.

I don't remember her name. Shit. People are yelling at their podcast. I like when people comment on our podcast that they yell at it to let us know. We could edit this out. We're not going to. We're not going to. Also, when you comment on it, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Because I've forgotten everything that we said. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Bridget Fonda. Bridget Fonda. She's giving me Bridget Fonda vibes. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

I can see that. I can see it. There's a little, there's a little Molly Ringwald in there too. It says red-headed ladies, beautiful red-headed ladies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But she's just very distinctive looking, very aquiline, uh, with a very pointy nose and pointy chin and like, yeah, very aristocratic.

And then you got Tony Todd. And who does? First horror movie ever did. Really? This is the O.G.R. movie for Tony Todd. Became a scream king. Yeah. They don't have scream kings.

On where will fan ambulance, we stand a scream king. We do. And I wouldn't mind being holed up with 1990, Tony Todd. No. Smoke show. Apparently, I was watching the featurette that comes on the DVD of this movie that I watched. Of course you have, yes. That I bought a Kim's video in New York City in 2003 because the receipt is still inside the DVD case.

I love that. I love finding a receipt for like a book or a piece of media, yeah. Did you ever go to Kim's in New York? It was like the place to go to get all of your bootlegs of foreign movies and like they had tons of like J. Harr before that popped off in America. Okay. So we used to go up there to get stuff. So there's a featurette, and Savini was talking about doing auditions for this movie,

and Tony Todd, like, came in, took the script out in the hallway for five minutes, came back, delivered a monologue, cried during the monologue, and Savini was like, well, there's our Ben. Yeah, perfect. Apparently Lawrence Fishburn, Ving Rames. What? And somebody else were up for this role. You're kidding. Yeah.

Huh. I feel like Larry Fishburn would have fucking destroyed this. Yeah, but I'm happy it's Tony Todd. Oh yeah, Tony Todd like fucking Graven. Fantastic. I was Tom Savini, he was a name, right? I mean, it was his first movie he directed, but he was like the splatter guy, right? Yeah, he was the Spider King.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The King of the Splatter, yeah. Here we stand our Splatter Kings. It's true. People still say Stan. People standing a short king five years ago. Well, look, we just caught on. Pre-pandy.

Yeah, because he had done like, he'd done like Friday the 13th. Sure, all the effects for all the stuff. He'd blown his own head up in many movies at this point. Great. So we start off with a moonrise as all films should start. Uh-huh. Because that's how you know what's starting. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the moon's coming up.

So it's hard to start harbourn. It's time for the movie. Driving on dirt roads to Evan City, as we all do. But it is not Evan City. No. It's the South Hills. It's Washington County. Yeah, is the, they don't go up to Evan City Cemetery?

That might be the same cemetery. Because that looks like it's filmed at a different time. Because when I was watching that scene, I was like, what a beautiful Western Pennsylvania fall day. Yeah. And then when they show the house, the farmhouse, it looks like spring. Like the trees are dead and there's, but there's some growth. And then later when they were like, here on August 23rd, I was like, wait, what?

This is some Don Doller level season shit. This is some low bunch nonsense going on. So that might be. But when I saw that farmhouse, I was like, there's no way that's in the north side of Pittsburgh. I don't think it is Evan City because I don't think it is Evan City because I don't think those are the gates to Evan City Cemetery that they go through, but I think, still, this is mostly filmed in Washington County. Yes. And I will only ever say Washington County. I say Washington. Washington. That's what my family's a real. Put it in the dish washer. Why don't just

put it in the dish washer. You don't have got a hand wash at. No, if you, if they need to run downstairs, would your family go down cellar or would they go down to the cellar? Downa. Downa cellar. Oh, okay. Down the cellar? Down the cellar? Yeah, I'm a downseller person. Go down seller. Yeah. There's words that are just superfluous.

Who needs them? Who needs them? My hair needs washed, you know? Yeah. And he's washed. Needs washed. I do like that we've, this, this series kind of works its way around Pittsburgh, the original being in the north of Pittsburgh.

The sequel being in the east of Pittsburgh and this being in the south. And Day of the Dead being in Florida. And rarely seen Newcastle. of the dead being in the west. Oh, that's true. Well, no, but the day of the dead was shot in those limestone caves that are out

in... The fuck. There's like limestone caves that people like keep their trailers in and there's like a huge... Because of the temperature control, there's like the photographs are kept in there and stuff. Yes, yes, yes, yes. It was like a mine.

That they... Mine, Pittsburgh. Limesone. I think limestone. Literally what came up is... Oh, the Iron Mountain facility. And Boyer's Muntain. Pennsylvania. Is that what you're talking about?

Maybe. Laurel Caverns in Farmington? Day of the... Brady's Bend underground storage in Armstrong County. Including vehicles and ATV trails? Maybe. That sounds right. The first thing Google came up with was the Carnegie Museum of Natural History.

Like, I'm a fucking idiot. You know, caves like the museums? Like the ones the museum. You know where dinosaurs live? Fuck it. It doesn't matter. Yeah. No, I got it on my na na na na na na na da me.

Filming, Pennsylvania, Florida, Fort Myers, Florida. Okay, fine. You're going to tell me where the above ground scenes were, but not the underground scenes. It doesn't matter because even if that's right, Armstrong County is east anyway. Yeah. I need something west. I need something west. We're going around Pittsburgh. We're going to make the West movie.

Okay. You and me? Yeah. Cady now in the dead. We're a family. Sharon P.A. Coming for you, baby. Look out McKee's Rocks or Port.

Yeah, whatever it is that you are. All right, so this is a movie. Brother and sister driving out to see Mom's grave. And they're hamming and hauling about it and pissing each other off and being dicks. He's such a dick, Johnny. Played by Bill Mosley. Chop Top. Chop top.

Chop top. Chop from Texas chains out too. I prefer to think of him as the government agent from the blob, 1984. Sure. Sure. We did do that too, didn't we? Yeah. The photo of the mom on the tombstone is so whack. Don't let anyone do that to me.

It's so funny. Just bury me tits out. Are they supposed to be out of the dirt? Yeah. Okay. So you're like just like an inch below the dirt and your titties are out. Yeah. And then I need like those glass domes that you would put over like a,

sure, like an anniversary clock. Like an anniversary clock. I was thinking, you know, like a plant that gets the, no, an anniversary clock is much better. A terrarium. Terrarium is the word that I was looking. titrarium. Titrarium. Let them see.

They want to know. Do they have eyes? We've never discussed this. What the fuck do you need to know about it? Were you the model for the Veronica Titty? Imagine if this was the first episode of ours that you ever listened to. You'd be like, I don't get it. You know what?

I just need a podcast and talk about the 1990 remake of Donna. Or Nighting Dead directed by Tom Savini. I'm just thinking, I've read somewhere that when you're a podcaster, you should assume that like 8% of your audience is new to each episode. Fuck you guys. Hi, I'm Katie. And I'm Alan. And this is Bearback Amblymps.

Wow. You know, it's amazing how much scarier the black and white is in this cemetery scene. I feel like the black and white does a lot of heavy lifting. But I do love a bright-ass day horror movie. Okay. I love when the old man starts walking towards them. Yeah. After Johnny does the other coming.

Do you get you bar? They're coming. for you, Barbara. He hits his head on the tombstone like he does. Yeah, yeah. But this is so much more brutal than the OG. So much more brutal. I mean, it's a dummy. We could all see that it's a dummy, but it's still

really fun. It's great. Yeah, but I love the jump scare of like the old man coming up and going, I'm sorry, and then wandering off. And then a zombie attacks them. Yeah, who looks just like that guy, but he's a zombie. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's great. Because old people are scary. Especially this one who's hanging bum. I like that guy. Yeah.

He's got a good look. I like his autopsy scars. It looks like someone did that with like a pocket knife. I was like, Jesus. What county is this? Washington. Do not die in Washington County. They're going to butcher you.

He didn't really have an autopsy, can he? It's a movie. Oh, okay. Thank you for reminding me 562 episodes into the show or whatever. I do love that that guy had makeup on his cheeks. Yeah.

His butt cheeks had makeup on them. They made them yellow. I would absolutely demand to have my butt made up. I'd be like, make it look as good as possible. Contour that thing. Whenever I've seen a documentary about human sexuality on the internet. Are you talking about pornography? What?

And somebody has a butt pimple and it was like, nobody, nobody can just go in there and do a little makeup. Just a little dad. Your butt is roughly the same color as your face, I have to believe. Give you some of that Trump hand makeup and put it on the butt. Yeah. It seems like it's really high coverage. So Johnny gets attacked by a zombie. He falls down.

He gets his head busted open. He's dead. Great. Barbara is now a screaming me and she's running away. She goes in the car. One of the zombies uses a brick to break the window. Just like in the first movie. That's right.

She pulls the e-break and rolls downhill into a tree. Apparently that was the first car that Tom Savini bought when he had some money. She's a scorn. Christ. And he, like, was sad to wreck it, but they wrecked his car. I feel like he could have gotten a little more money from Meneham Golem for this, you know? Who has done movies that we have covered in these podcasts before, such as Masters of the Universe? Oh, man, he's been quite the track record.

Yeah. That might be it. But I will say that I think that Patricia Tallman. Over the top. Over the top. Over the top. That's actually a fantastic movie. He directed that movie.

He did not. He did. Fucking look it up. Fucking look it up. Directed by Meneham Golan. Did a great job. He forked out of cash for that Kenny Loggins number. He has done so many movies.

He did an adaptation of crime and punishment. With Sylvester Stallone. His last movie. movie is called OeVe, my son is gay. It's got Vincent Pastor. What year was that? 2009. That is way too late for OiVe, my son is gay.

It's got Carmen Electra. That is way too late for Carmen Elektra. Yeah. You can only parlay dating prince into a career for so long. You know, she's got name recognition still. Because didn't she date Dennis Rodman after that? And that was what I think really launched her, at least to my generation. Yeah.

Yeah. I feel like she had a bit of like a carrie worm woman as well where she was like on MTV game shows. For sure. So she takes off running. And I was going to say Patricia Tallman for being primarily a stunt actor at this point. Did her very good job in this movie. Yeah, she moats. Went on to be in Babylon 5, that show that we've all seen.

I feel like you probably watched a few episodes about it. I feel like it was always on USA Network. Sure. Yeah. As someone who has seen multiple seasons of Stargate, the TV show, it's surprising. I haven't seen Babylon 5. I think I actually just mixed up Babylon 5 and Stargate. Sure.

And somewhere Chris George is grinding his teeth at me. So she finds a farmhouse. Yes. And she gets into the farmhouse and here we see that Romero wrote the new screenplay for this movie. Yeah. Why do they give that to us late? I don't know. It's just like a, hey, guys, don't forget.

Yeah, they tell us that he wrote it and that Savini, directed it. Like, are you paying attention now? Because we're going to tell you these things. Gotcha. Okay. All right. This is the stuff you need to remember for the exam. So I'm very curious as to if the upcoming scene is what you thought had really scared you the first time you saw this movie. No. It's the, it's one of the last scenes. And when I saw it in this, I was like, this is it. I remember exactly where I was when I first saw this. I remember exactly what I was doing in hell. I remember the feeling of just absolute repulsion. Yeah. Yeah. Because I fucking adore the Uncle Ridge zombie. He's great.

He's terrifying. It's his overalls. It's the overalls and like the big like bloody puschewal on his mouth. Like what happened? Why he looked like that? Why he look like that? I don't know. But she gets into the house and the stove is still on.

And the house is full of taxidermy and she's like, but like it's Western PA. Of course it's full of taxidermy. Fucking, of course it is. Sorry. Do you not have redneck family members? Of course it is. There was a fucking taxidermy deerhead in the downs, the basement. bathroom when I was a child. Not mounted on the wall, just on the floor. Like, it never got

hung up because my father was of a hunter, but also a very lazy man. So I would like do my homework on the toilet like you did. Sure. I would just like tap on its eye with a pen while I was doing a homework called a buddy the buck. It's really fucked up. I had a really weird childhood. Fuck me. That's so sad. I love it. Why is that sad? I think it's just weird. Buddy the buck. Yeah, he's my buddy. Doing your toilet homework. Where did you do your homework? Had a desk in my room.

You has a desk. I had a little like 1920s school desk that my grandfather made for me with an ink well in it. It's adorable, actually. Yeah, it's nice having a grandpa that can make furniture. Yeah, really. So she gets in the house, stove salon, she sees blood dripping and then a hand falls on her face. Yeah, just solves the severed arm just hits her and knocks her down. So was Uncle Rees just like kicking this hand across the floor before he fell off the railing?

He's like, I'm going to get her, whoa, because he comes through the railing. I wanted the dead cousin to be like, Uncle Reg, that's a total Uncle Regge move right there. Fucking Uncle Reed. Did you get the impression when talking to, I think it's Tommy? Yeah. That Uncle Ridge had just been waiting to kill his cousin Satchel for a long time anyway. She didn't feel that way. Satchel's never going to move out.

there was no character of satchel in the original right i don't believe so then i'm going to have to believe that that was a hat tip to satchel page oh okay yeah baseball zone baseball zone did satchel page he didn't play for pittsburgh did he or the grays or the he played for the crawfords the what the crawfords the pittsburgh crawfords i don't know the crawfords there's the crawfords and the grays Oh, okay. The homestead is the graze in Pittsburgh with the Crawfords. I have a bobblehead of him in my office. Oh, nice.

Yeah. I mainly know the grays from the X-Files episode. There you have it. There you have it. Yeah. And the fact that I drive on a bridge that has the homestead graze. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, the fucking big zombie that she just runs out of the house.

She's like, this is fine. Everything's fine. I'm just going to drink my coffee in this burning house. Yeah. You can tell their farmers. because they have overalls. Yeah. And then a guy in the suit is like wandering up the driveway.

And a truck just comes out of nowhere and hits him. The guy in the suit has like, it looks like early days of Photoshop where they had like the tool that you could like put a dot down. It would bring everything to a point. Like someone had just done that to his face. His features were just all in the middle. Yeah, but like a Charlie Kirk. I don't like you even sarcastically kissing your finger and pointing at the ceiling, which none of you saw, but I had to. Hey, I heard his wife got the Charlie Kirk got murdered award.

Did she see that? She got awarded something like the Charlie Kirk. My husband got murdered award. Look a douche canoes. Yeah, I love these idiots. I'd love them if they weren't running our country, I guess. someone I heard the other day was like, can't we just tell them they're in control of things

and just like put them in a room somewhere? They might, it might work. Yeah, exactly. Anyway, Tony Todd gets out of the truck. He's got a big fucking hook and a cigarette. And I'm just like, ah. Hey, Candy Man. Oh, yeah.

Would. I love that this guy, he gets hit by a car and yet he is still crawling towards, them. Yes. And it's great because his legs are in the wrong place. He's all bent up on the lawn. It is really great.

They dug a hole, put his body in the hole, and then put fake legs. Perfect. It looks great. It's fantastic. Yeah. Yeah. That Thomas Savinas. You did a great job, Tom.

Yeah, we're proud of you. He was originally just supposed to do the special effects. And then Romero was like, no, dog, you're going to direct it. Oh, that's sweet. I feel like this movie is a love letter to Night of Living Dead. Yeah, that George Romero wrote himself. Yes. Yeah.

But, like, he gave Tom Savini the chance to direct a movie, which is pretty fucking great. Right. It's pretty cool. And Tom Savini got to do the special effects on this movie when he wanted to do him on Night of Living Dead. He wasn't able to, right? Yeah, because he was in the shit. Oh, right. He was a nom.

Yeah. But, I mean, and also, it sounds like it was not Romero's fault that he didn't get to make the movie he wanted to make. Right. No, it was the producers. That there was, like, too gory, too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, because I saw, like, on this feature that I was watching,

they had, like, cut scenes. And it's just like, people's fucking heads were exploding. Aw, I want to see that. Yeah, it would have been really nice. Yeah. A movie that almost made me vomit when I was, like, 12 years old. Give me more. Now that I'm, what, 29, a wink.

No, no, no, no. It's fine. You can tell them I'm 31. You don't have to keep pretending. Hey. As long as you tell them. I'm 63. As I went to say that to you, I moved my ankle and it cracked twice.

I hope the mic picked it up. Tony Todd comes in here with a Ryu kick. His ankles aren't cracking. I love kicking zombies. I love the idea of kicking zombies. I love the idea of flying through the air to kick a zombie. Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I could cry on cue and I can do a jump kick. What you got? You're perfect. Where are you at, Lawrence Fishburn? You can't do these things. I bet he can. I bet Lawrence Fisher can do both of those things. So she grabs a poker because she's not a shrinking violent.

She's going to go out there and take care of business. And he says to her, you've got to fight. Yeah. Yeah. And she takes it to heart. And then she beats the shit out of Uncle Ridge. Yeah, she sure does. I love the Uncle Ridge zombie when she's beating the shit out of it.

And it's obviously just a mannequin being held by someone going back and forth. And then they just prop it against it. the couch for the rest of the movie. I fucking love it. It's so cool. Because, like, you can see behind the curtain throughout this movie, but I don't think it, like, takes away from it at all. No.

I was reading the IMDB, like, trivia about this. I was like, uh, you can tell that it's a mannequin when Johnny's head hits it. It's like, no, they're going to throw Bill Mosley on top of a fucking tombstone with a man on his back. Do it. Do it. Do it. You won't.

You won't. I actually didn't take a lot of notes for this movie. Is this where we meet the other people in the house? Well, so we have to like shove the zombie outside. They have to like fight the zombies in the house. There's the guy that's outside that he beats the dust off of, which I really like the idea of a dusty zombie. Like this has only been going on for a little while.

This guy was dead laying somewhere for a while. Get up and shake yourself off. Sorry. Uncle reads a bit up to some shit. And Tony Todd has to, like, have that moment where he's in the yard and yells, God damn you at God. Yeah, which is nice. He does it.

Yeah. Yeah. And then we get to the part of where Barbara is, he gives her a pep talk, he gives her a little hug. And he's like, he's very supportive of all the women in this movie. He's a good man, Tony Todd. Yeah. And then she's standing by herself when we see the basement door open.

Yeah. And she screams for Ben and he comes downstairs with a shotgun that he's gotten. But it's just Tommy, the honest Jenser. It's just Tommy in like Jinser cosplay. He's wearing an Iron City beer sweatshirt and a Steelers hat, which I have to believe belonged to either Tom Savini or George Romero. Romero doesn't strike me as a football guy. Savini, absolutely.

Absolutely. In the IMDB trivia, there was like, one guy is wearing a shirt for a beer company that in Day of the Dead, they were drinking the beer and it's like it's fucking iron city. It's fucking Iron City, you shitbirds. Even though they're drinking another beer, stoner? Stony's. It's from Laitrobe. Okay. It's also very local. Okay. Home of Mr. Rogers. Laterobe. Oh, nice.

Birthplace of Mr. Rogers. Yes. Home, Pittsburgh. Squirrel Hill. Yeah. I will say that when Tony Todd goes upstairs and he sees who we later learn to be cousins, satchel, that fucking prosthetic looks amazing. It really does. It holds up to HD. Yeah. Yeah. It's really good.

These are some of the best zombies I've ever seen in a movie. Yeah. I mean, they really kind of set the tone for zombies, huh? Yeah. Yeah. These feel like, okay, get out those medical books that your sister has or we're to go through those. I think I read somewhere that he had like looked at like a lot of Holocaust photos and

things like that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, for like, yes, a lot of that and a lot of, but he was a photographer in Vietnam. Sure. So a lot of that stuff was true that he had seen. Oh, Tom. Yay.

Look, he's living his best life now. Yeah. Of course he is. It's got that weird chair that rolls around in circles and then he fires fucking flamethrowers in his backyard. Yeah. Hanging out at the antique store next door. Somebody on the internet was agreeing with me that you have to befriend him so you can use

his fame, flame thrower. I don't know how to go about this. I feel like it's too late. Oh, you go up to the door, you say knock, knock, hi, I'm Katie from Werewolf and a Bios. I mean, Perry went to school with his daughter. They're buds, their friends. Yeah, she like comes to his art shows sometimes.

And he's like, do you ever want me to introduce you? And I'm like, absolutely fucking not. Because it's Pittsburgh, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you like when Barbara had the poker and she was moving the hand across the floor and just flicking it? It's exactly what you do. So we got Tommy the Honest Jenser.

Yes. And he is here with Cooper. Yeah. Where the fuck was he wearing a tuxedo in Washington County? Going to an art opening in Zillianople is the only thing. Oh, that's right. They do you say they're 20 miles from Zillion O'Haw? I only ever went there once and it was to purchase cooking.

Things I know about Zillionoble. Yeah. Zeelea baby. I think I've been there since. I lied. I went back. It was like a trampoline parking. my kid likes there.

And cocaine. Hey, those two things go a hand in hand. You ever seen me do a flip? I'm just kidding. What the fuck? My heart is hurting, thinking about doing either of those activities.

Cocaine and jumping in a trampoline. Yeah, the cocaine was like 2003. 2024. I do really want to go to a trampoline where I can see if I could live my dream of standing on a trampoline and just going straight to the floor. God, why is that your dream?

I think it would be really funny. Cooper's a grosso and a racist. Friend of Henry of a portrait or Henry portrait of a serial killer. He's the guy, he's like the buddy in that movie. Oh, wait, have we done that? No.

God, no. Okay. Well, I don't know. I feel like Henry is, it's, it's outside of my bailiwick. Okay. I've seen it. It's a good movie. Yeah.

That's not for me, dog. It's got the guy from Days of Thunder, right? Yeah, whose name you can never, ever, ever, ever remember. Ever remember. What is it? We're not going to look it up now. No, I'm not looking it up. I'm swiping away my calendar notification telling me to record tonight.

What is his name? Michael Rooker. No, that's not right. That's the other thing you say. Okay. All right. I always think it's Michael Mick something. Michael Mick Rooker.

Michael McRooker. It's my new... No, just regular Rooker. Not sure. Michael, Michael McRooker. I'm not sure about that. I don't know if that's right. That bullshit I made up?

I'm not sure if that's true. I just want to be really clear with you that you constantly are telling me to stop believing the things you say. And then when I don't believe you, you get indignant. You're indignant right now. Baby, I'm a 50-year-old white man in America. I have bad news for you. You're 51.

No, you're 63. Be chill. Soon to be 52. Yeah, dude. Not sooner than I'll be 42. I love that for you. When I turn 45 and you turn 55, let's have a hundred years party. Oh, I love that.

Okay, since we never had our 40-50th. Can we both put flour in our hair to make ourselves look cold? Alan, I have some bad news for you on that front, too. Oh, no. Now, my hair's still pretty nice. I just won't dye my hair for a few months. I didn't realize you dried your hair. Are you kidding?

I'm like All gray. Oh, I didn't know. Yeah, that's because I do a good job dying it. Yeah. I bet you'd look fantastic, All gray. No. It's really wiry. I look like the cat lady from the Simpsons.

A lot of Simpsons jokes today. It's perfect. So, yes, and don't forget my favorite named character in this movie, Judy Rose. Judy Rose. Judy Rose. Only referred to as full Junete, I've seen that woman in so many things. Yeah, yeah, she's very familiar.

A lot of things. Good for her. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cooper is, has been in the basement with his wife, Helen, and daughter Sarah, who is sick. Yeah. Yeah. He's calling everyone a yo-yo. Such a shitty insult.

It's really not good. He's so bad at it. He's so bad at it. And he might have the wispiest wish hair we've ever had in a movie. Yeah. It's not like a John Sachs. and combover. It is the saddest of combovers.

Yeah. There's just a couple of buddies trying to hold it down for everyone. Oh, just clinging with all of their might. So Harry's a dick. Harry Cooper. Harry Cooper. He goes to get a beer.

Tom's like, there's a gas pump. We can fill your truck up with gas. Yeah. And they're like, well, where are the keys? And then immediately Tony Todd's like, we can't look for those right now. Yeah, why not? You've got nowhere else to be.

He's got this thing where he's like, we have to make a plan for. We've got a plan first. Oh, no spur of the moment decisions. No, we just do a thing. And he's like, we need to make a plan actually. And he says, I'm the boss of up here. You could be the boss of downstairs.

He also, when he's like trying to take one of the doors off, Tommy's like, it's good enough. And he goes, punches through it and then goes, no good. And then there's a great shot of Tommy walking to the other side of the door and looking through at the camera. Like, no, we got it. No, we get it, yinzers are stupid. Genuinely, very stupid. So Cooper and Ben immediately hate each other.

Sure. Well, Cooper's being kind of racist. Yeah, kind of. Okay, yes, racist. Yes. And we also see him slap his wife, so we hate him all around. Not a good dude. He's also fucking best friends with Henry Portrait of a serial killer.

That's what you tell me. Have I ever seen Henry Portrait of a serial killer? Oh, you told me that you did at one point. Well, that might, then I must have. I wouldn't lie about it. So, yeah, I'll be boss up here, you'll be boss downstairs. And then Cooper's like, Tommy, get in the basement. And Tommy goes to the basement door and you think he's going downstairs and Ben's very

let down in his new protege. But then Tommy's like, Judy Rose, come up here. Yeah, Judy Rose comes on up. Yeah. And she is freaking the fuck out. She sure is. Yeah. I can't blame her.

I do not fault Joe Judy Rose in this moment. Why? What's going on to freak out of the fuck? out of it. Well, Barbara's looking at the window and she's like, uh, hey, they're all coming to the house. Yeah. And she's like, we can just walk around them. We don't even have to run. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's part of my plan. It is. It is part of your plan. So when I saw this movie in 2003, I had a lot of zombie plans. Like, tis the season. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I'd go into a house and be like, all right, if we had to secure this house, this is what we have to do. You got to knock down

the stairs. I'm sorry, they got to go. Zombies can't climb stairs. What? Zombies can't climb stairs. Is that true? Yeah. Just, I mean, wait a minute. What a thing. Climb a ladder.

So you're going to go upstairs and then break the stairs. Yeah, but you need a ladder or something to get back downstairs that you can pull up. I fucking love this idea for you where you have trapped yourself on the second floor of a building. Yeah. Because you were so sure that, wait, why would you need to get rid of the stairs if zombies can't climb them? You could just leave them. You can climb them. Yeah, but the.

enough of them will pile up that they'll eventually get up the stairs. They're like cats. Wait. You think they'll form a hill? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 100%. This is part of the movie we're making in the west of Pennsylvania. Have you ever read Max Brooks's zombie survival guide?

No. It's really fun because he like plays out all these scenarios. Okay. And like, what's the best weapon? What's the best mode of transportation? It's fun. Bikes. Bikes are the best because they're silent.

I don't know how to write. ride a bike. And crossbows because they're silent. There's no bang. So Tommy and Judy Rose come up and they're going to start putting up wood on the windows. We're going to start putting wood up on the windows. Yeah. It's not going to work, though.

No. These zombies know how to push wood, if you know what I mean. The one that pushes through the wood is Mr. Magruder. Who looks like Anthony Pordane. He does look like Anthony. And like he was, Thompson, he's friend who was in a rockabilly band. Absolutely.

He was definitely playing in the 31st Street pub in 1990, right? Was he there on a bottomless Wednesdays? That was a late, that was late stage, 31st Street pub. When it turned into a food co-op, one of my favorite jokes was still driving by there and going to think they still got Bottomless Wednesdays. Bottomless Wednesdays, for those who don't know is that the women who worked at the bar didn't have pants on. I think it was full underwear.

I think it was like a bra and undies situation. Oh, God, was it? Yeah. The place was so scummy. So scummy. That guy once chased my band out and was like, you're not welcome here anymore. And then we were back like three weeks later. Keep us out, Joel.

Well, they're just shitbirds playing shows there constantly. That's why we were there is because we played with the worst bands we could think of. I still love going to a show there where a band had intro music on a CD. And when their song was done and they started actually playing, the CD changer just moved on to Rattle and Hum, you too. But that's playing along with this black metal band for Sweden. That's rules. That place was awful. It's like a women's clothing boutique now.

So fucking funny. Still has bottomless Wednesdays. Yeah. Go in there in your panties. Bunch of yo-yo's. Yeah. Bunch of yo-yos. I hope that dude's dead.

Joel from the 31st Street pub. Oh, I thought you meant Tom Towls. Oh, no. I don't have nothing against him. I'm looking up to Joel from the 31st Street pup. I'll beep his name. No, you don't. Oh, he's still alive.

At least as of August. Shed this mortal coil while ready. Seriously, Joel Greenfield. Oh, so yeah, they're putting the doors over the windows and kitchen tables over the windows. I just want to say that the reason I know Joel is alive is because there was an article in the Post Gazette. August 26, 2025, about a 10-year reunion of them closing. They had it at Mr. Smalls, a venue that still exists. And it was played by, give me one guess, one guess of a Pittsburgh band that might play this.

Oh, fuck, what's that band that everyone likes here that no one outside of Pittsburgh's heard of? Oh, I can't think of their name. The Cheats? No, no. Is that who was? That's who played. Okay. Yeah.

No, there's some like, some like power pop band that ever, that plays everything in Pittsburgh. Donnie Iris? Not Donnie Iris, no. The buzz poets? No. The clerks. The Clark. Oh, no.

No. The Cheats is so much closer. Whatever. Joel's still alive. So Ben does a really nice thing because they're going to go upstairs to look for keys or something. Yeah. So he goes up and he covers up Tommy's cousin. so he doesn't have to see his cousin.

Oh, they're going to get doors. That's where it was. That's it. Yeah, that's when he punches through the door. Yeah, he's a good man. And they find a TV and the TV is playing. Yeah. And there's this guy on there that's like,

dead people are rising. I don't know if that's true. I feel like that had to have been a cameo of like a Pittsburgh newscaster, but I didn't know him. Not like later when Chili Billy Cardilly. Chili Car Dilly. In both the original and the remake. His daughter is still doing journalism in Pittsburgh.

Oh, really? I forget her first name. One of his daughters is, also an actor and was in Day of the Dead. Oh, really? Yeah, the main lady from Day to the Dead. Maybe that's what I'm thinking of, actually. It's chilly, billy.

You know what? I don't know. I'm not going to look it up. I can't. I'm tired. My thumbs are tired. And it's also very cold because you didn't turn the heat on up here. I'm a real son of a son of a.

You're a real yo-yo. At some point, Cooper steals that TV. He does. Yeah. Carrying a tube TV by yourself, man. He's got some heft. He's got some guns. He's porky.

Beefy. Beefy. Beefy. He's a beefy boy. He's husky. He's husky. He's husky. He's husky.

He's still wearing a cumber bun. Yeah. Um, he says he's not trying to steal it and take it to the basement because you can't get reception in a basement. And I was thinking like, I think I watched this movie in a basement not long after 1990. You probably watched it on the VCR, though. I don't know. Okay.

I don't know. I don't know how I saw this movie. Not long after 1990. How old were you? I feel like I was maybe 10. Wow. So that would have been 1994. Wow.

Yeah. 10 to 12 is when I saw this movie because I remember being, I distinctly recall the feeling of like I was going to vomit at the scene in the end where they're eating the people that blow up. Yeah. Okay. That was the thing that got you. Yeah. Okay.

Very visceral. Yeah. It's gross. It's really gross. I do like that they're eating. They're cooked though. Yeah. They're cooked.

Yeah. That didn't comfort me at the time. back when you were a child still had a problem with cannibalism. Now I'm totally inured to it. But the TV breaks, of course, because these two alpha males can't stop fighting over everything. Toxic masculinity, the movie. Again. Again.

We get a naked lady walking up to the steps. Yeah. Call back to the OG. We also get the homeowner walking around at one point when there's the old lady that's just like walking around and looks at the camera and then looks back at the house. that's the homeowner. The woman who actually owned that. Oh, nice. I like that she got to be in the movie.

Yeah. And apparently the M. Celeste on the front of the house. It's Mama Celeste. Mama Celeste. I love for pizzas. Frozen. Maria Celeste? The name of a ship that like showed up with no crew and only one lifeboat missing?

I watched an incredible documentary about it. Oh, really? Yeah. I think I have a book about it too that I haven't read yet. Oh, you'll have to tell me what documentary that was. I will look into it. Yeah. Yeah.

I would love to watch that. That sounds very fascinating. But they did it because, uh, as an homage to them leaving the house in as good condition as it could just go right on the market when they left. So they're like, this is a little nod to that.

And I was like, that's a very weird nod. So academic for these two bozos, you know. Yeah. Yeah. Um, they're,

they're very smart bozos, which is like a genre I feel like I might fit into. Yeah. We might be very smart bozos, huh? I didn't think bumblebees could hurt you for a really long time. I remember when I got made fun of by listeners because I thought citizens banned radio, CB radio meant citizens were banned from it. It's right there the name.

It's right there. It's not for citizens. You are banned from music. I remember somebody said, it's a good thing you're pretty when they said that. I did not. And I was like, I'm fucking dare. it is a good thing you're pretty oh yeah I wouldn't be no one would laugh at my jokes otherwise

two beauties doing this podcast oh fucking good looking bitches over here so I describe myself every day is this your first episode anybody welcome to the good looking bitches podcast good looking bitches that's it dot com dot com dot angel fire dot com um um yeah um So Helen goes upstairs. She's like, we're looking for keys. I'm going to go look for keys. She's dumping out drawers. Helen is in to help.

Yeah. She's not a dickhead. Yeah. And she's got a daughter she's trying to save. Who at some point we see when, I think when Cooper goes back downstairs after the TV thing, we see that she is gone from the table that she had been lying on, right? That's when Helen goes back downstairs. When Helen goes back down.

Yeah, yeah. Because Ben goes downstairs to get a door, sees the kid, and he's like, you might want to cover her up. She looks pretty cold. Yeah. There's blankets upstairs. and then Cooper puts his jacket over her. Now taking these fucking blankets. This kid doesn't deserve a blanket.

Fuck you, Sarah. Something racist, something racist, probably. Yeah. So Tommy, Judy and Ben. Judy Rose. Judy Rose. They go outside and they find keys on Uncle Regis' body in the yard. So they're going to go out and they're going to get gasoline

with an open flame in the back of a pickup truck. Yeah. Yeah. That's not, Tommy's an honesty answer, but he's not real smart. No. No. He might also be a smart bozo. Yeah.

But this leads to a great scene of them like losing Ben out of the truck at one point and they're going to have to go back and get Ben and then Tommy starts pumping gas and then, oh no, no, he realizes he has the wrong keys and he gets frustrated and what does he do to unlock the gas tank or unlock the gas pump? You tell me. He shoots me. He shoots it. He shoots him with a shock.

He's a redneck. Yeah. He should know better. 100%. Yeah. But he's frustrated. Sure. Yeah, it's a bummer.

So they blow up. Yeah, they blow up. Yeah, he and Judy Rose. Uh-huh. And then they get eaten by the zombies. And I can, I remember the couch I was sitting on, like, one of those black and white, like knit couches that were kind of scratchy on your butt cheeks, you know? Yeah, 100%.

Yeah. Yeah. have the wooden handles on the armrest? Most definitely, yeah. And I was eating cereal, I remember. Oh, man, you got to keep up the cereal. Because I'm ready to put it down, yeah. Not as bad as eating pasta while pregnant and watching Bramstoke or Strachula when a ham gets cut.

Oh, you know what? I wasn't even eating when that happened. Oh, really? No, I don't think so. I just remember watching it and then getting that feeling like under my jawbone of like, oh, it's coming up. Where you go? Gotta go.

Gotta go. Also, I like that you just assume I was eating pasta. Like, I might, you know. I thought you were eating pot. I may have been. I may. There was something else that almost made you throw up then that you were eating pasta. I'm always eating pasta.

I'm just saying, come on. Welcome to garlic town. Welcome to garlic town. Pie found me a shirt at the thrift store today that says, welcome to garlic world. No. Yeah, I'm going to have to share it with Vicky. Do you, though? No.

Is it big enough for the two of you to wear at the same time? No. No. So Ben's locked out of the house because, of course, Cooper locked the door. Yeah, he sucks. Yeah, he sucks. And Helen gets bitten by her daughter. Yeah.

Which is really sad. Something I really like about this. So in the original, the way the daughter kills mom is she takes a trowl and hacks mom up. That's brutal for night. It's brutal. Yeah. So in this, in an homage to the OG, when Sarah's eating Helen, it cuts away from the bite and blood sprays onto a trowel on the wall.

And I was like, that's nice. I like that. It is nice, but again, I'm just reminded of, like, did George Romero write any part of that? Was he like, let's remember how I, remember how I had a trowel? Remember? Tom, do you, Tom, do you, Tom, do you remember? Tom, do you remember? I don't know.

Like, there's something about, like, going back and reliving your heyday or something. Oh, imagine the opportunity. Yeah. Yeah. Imagine if we could go back and re-record warlock. someday we should just for funzies. Yeah, shits and giggles. Oh, Julian Sands.

RIP. A real one. They never found him, did they? No, they did. They did find him. Well, I'm glad they found him, honestly. Yeah, yeah. It's been buried for his family or whatever.

No. You could do that for him. You may not do it for Charlie Kirk. I will also do that for his last movie being House of the Vampires. Oh, God, Death Rider. Oh, no. Oh. Yep,

Rodin. Damn, you got pipes. Lungs for days, baby. This asthmatic has lungs for days. So now Helen has turned. She's turned. The power has gone out. Cooper gets grabbed trying to steal the gun from Barbara.

Yes. Because he's like, you're just a little lady. You're a dumb lady. Give me the gun. And he gets the gun and... Oh, then Sarah wanders out of the basement. Yeah, and he won't shoot his daughter. So Ben says he's going to do it.

Yeah, and they just start shooting each other. Yeah, Cooper shoots Ben. Ben shoots Cooper. Yeah. Taking a belly wound from Cooper. You shouldn't be doing this, Ben. You're better than this. No, I felt like he was better than this.

Cooper goes to hide in the attic. Pools down the... Did you have those steps in your house when you're growing up? Lived in a ranch. Okay, okay. You said the steps always felt like I was going to fall through them. Yeah, they seem treacherous. Rickety.

Rickety. So Ben's all hurt. So he tells Barbara to run. Yeah. She said she'll come back with help. Yeah, and she's crying. She's running and crying. She's falling in love with him.

Who wouldn't? Yeah. Just I'll tell me. And then the zombies just start piling into the house. Yeah, and he's listening to a news broadcast, which is where we learned that it's August. Yeah. Oh, I forgot to mention one of my favorite kills in this is the extremely skinny zombie that bust through the window and they shoot it three times and then shoot it in the head.

Like, is he dead? Is this dead? Is his dad? Yeah, yeah, yeah. When Barbara is like fully like, fuck you, fuck this, fuck that. Yeah. Um, that guy was a taxi driver that Savini had hired two fairy people back and forth to the set. Oh my God. And he was like, you want to be a zombie? The guy was like, yeah, baby! And apparently, much to, uh, Patty Tallman's chagrin, he would follow around set going, I'm coming to get you, Barbara. kick him right in his nards. You can do that when you're an actor, right? Yeah, kick the taxi driver right in the dick.

If you're Mia Goth, you just walk on their face or whatever she was supposed to do. Nightmare person, right? Like her movies. I mean, I had a kid with Shia LaBouf. And what do you think? Bad judgments all around. Something's going wrong. I mean, truly, if I were famous and people, like, kissed my ass, I'd probably have self-esteem.

Maybe. I'm not bad. for me. I'm thinking of myself. I'm thinking of myself. Not you. You're like, no, you are beyond fucked. You're like, it's one of the things we bombed over. Being beyond fucked. You know what, though? I remember you saying early on when someone said something shitty to me on the internet as a result of the show, you just being like, remember that no one can hate us as much as we hate ourselves? And that has stuck with me for the last decade. No, it's, honestly, it's true. It's comforting to me in a number of ways. I feel like that. I feel like that.

that's one of those things that I latch on to, much like, uh, I don't have a fear of death because I'm just excited about nothingness. And it's just like, they still get some fucking sleep, you know? Yeah, it's like, who cares? It's nothing. I don't give a fuck about nothing. That's, I won't even have to think about it. Yeah.

It's nothing. It's nothing. Um, yeah. I think I just, I have to find these little things to grab onto it. Yeah. Well, it's like my own hatred of myself is tolerable. So then anyone else's is only going to be less. You know why and how and how and

all of that shit. Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah. Just know that I love you enough for the both of us. I love you enough for the both of us. Favorite zombie in the movie? Old lady with the baby doll.

Oh, lady with the baby doll. Yeah. She's great. Yeah. Like, does she think she's a little kid? Does she think that's her kid?

I don't know. My favorite zombie is the naked lady, of course. Sure. Yeah. My favorite thing about the naked lady is that she's obviously has like, like, something covering her butthole. Yeah, she's got like a flesh G string or something on you. Which is another band we're starting.

Flesh string. Fuck. Maybe that'll be our flesh G string will be our zombie movie title. Oh, that's good. It's a sexy zombie movie. Flesh string of the living dead. Yeah. We'll workshop it.

Copyright, copyright in the meantime. Yeah, Ben has to kill zombie Helen in the basement. Yeah. We see a zombie who OD'd. Yes. I was like, that's a little bunch guys. That's ridiculous. Ben finds the gas pump key and laughs.

Yeah. It throws a cigarette down. I was like, you're still going to want to smoke that cigarette. You don't have that many. You keep finding broken ones in your pocket. Yeah. And then everything fades to black. And I love that the way it fades to black is the gas lantern that he's sitting with goes out.

Yeah, it's really nice, really nicely done. Yeah. It's a really nice touch. Yeah. So she's almost, she wakes, or the next day, she's almost shot by some dudes because she falls into the back of the pickup truck. Yay, rednecks. And she sees her brother in the back of the pickup truck. Right, right.

He dead. Yeah. He's been dead a while. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We're over him. We're on to Ben now about being sad about deaths. And then a common theme across all these movies, rednecks love this shit. I mean, they're certainly saying something.

something. Yeah. Yeah. Because this one is really explicit where she's like, the dead are better than us. Yeah. They're us. We're them. Yeah.

I mean, that scene where she is watching them taking pot shots at zombies that are hanging from a tree. Oh, it's so distressing. It's very disturbing. Very disturbing. Luckily, America has no history of, uh, but we get John Russo. I think John Russo, the original, like, writer. He was, he was, um, Romero's partner on the first.

Yeah. Good Italian boys. He's a sheriff who delivers the, they're dead. They're all messed up line. Oh, okay. To chili Billy Cardilly. Chili Billy Cardilly. Yeah, they're dead.

They're all messed up. Yeah. Love that. Did you watch Chili Billy Cartilly? Uh, no. I think he may have been off the air by the time I was cognizant. Okay. Okay.

Um, yeah, so, uh, she goes back to the house after spending time with rednecks and being disappointed in humanity. Yeah, there's this, this scene where, like, it keeps freeze framing on the things that the rednecks are doing and they look like like Auschwitz photos. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So she goes back to the house and two guys are chainsawing into the basement. And I was like, that door's not big enough for you to bother chainsawing. You could just, you guys, you're a bunch of rednecks. You know what to do. You love kicking shit apart.

Love kicking shit apart. a man who you have seen kick a couch apart. Yeah, thanks for kicking that couch apart, by the way. Had to be done. Really think I upset Rob's dad that day. Yeah, that's all right. I've upset him many times.

So coming out of the base once they get the door open, it's Ben. He is a zombie. Oh, he does not make it. No. So they shoot Ben. And then the best part of the movie. I love this so much.

Cooper pops up. Yeah. He's still human. And he's like, you came back. She just pops him right in the skull. Fucking puts one between his fucking eyes. Yeah, it's great. So good.

So good. She goes another one for the fires, or for the pyres, maybe. Yeah. Yeah. And then we get, we get, oh, this is the Holocausti photos.

Yeah, yeah. And then, like, the Holocausti photos and then it's closing in on her eyes on everyone. Barbara. Yeah. She's not going to be well after this. No.

No. No. Yeah. Katie. Ellen. What did you think of Night of Living Dead 1990? I mean, it has a scene that has so fundamentally changed who I am. Like that scene of the people being eaten, I have forgotten everything I've ever known.

And I have not forgotten that. So for that alone, I'm going to give it an eight. Okay. You know, it's a remake of a perfect film. Yeah. A nearly perfect film. We've never done that on this show because it's like, what is there to talk about? Yeah.

It's so closely, it's so closely hewn to that, right? It almost feels more like a cover song than a remake. That's the perfect way of describing it. Thank you. But it's a competent cover. Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like when a band you really like covers another band that you really like and they nail it.

Yeah. Yeah. Because George and I was there going, hey, why not? Yeah. It's like if every Misfits cover show we ever played, Danzig showed up and was like, no, you go to see like, one blast

so good. So great. What about you? I'm going to give this movie a nine. I had really low expectations. So you only saw this once in 2003 and that was it? No, no, no. I've owned the DVD for a while, so I've seen it a few times.

Sure. But like my initial time seeing it, I was like, a remake of Night of Living Dead. Come the fuck off. one. What the fuck? Yeah. I bought it because I thought it was a colorized version.

For some reason I thought that'd be funny. But it was not. It was a remake. It is kind of the colorized version though, isn't it? Yeah. I really love the tweaking of Barbara. Yeah. Barbara always drove me nuts in the original one.

Yeah, she's so whiny. Yeah. Yeah. Dog, like fucking help or fucking get out of the way. Get off the couch, Barbara. Yeah. So yeah, I would give this movie a nine. I'm glad that George Romero recognized that and changed it.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I guess it was also like 22 years later. Yeah. He did some growing, I presume. And by all accounts, I think we've said this a hundred times, like, seems like a good dude. Yeah. Yeah.

A sweet boy. Rip. I'm not going to kiss your finger and point at the sky for George Romero? No, I'm going, put it up my heart. Put in my heart. That's where the nothingness is. The nothingness of death is inside Alan's heart. Maybe.

Maybe. Great. I ever tell you that I have a patch that I'm going to show a or sew on to my jean jacket that just says after this, the abyss. And I think it's very funny. Your clothing, your sartorial choices are getting bleaker and bleaker. I love it. Do you want to tell them about the shirt you told me you bought today? Yeah, I bought this a t-shirt that I've wanted for years.

I've coveted for a long time because there was a picture that I saw years ago of Nick Cave wearing this t-shirt. Thou shalt not cover it thy Nick Cave's t-shirts. And the t-shirt is a biker watering a grave that says John Law. And at the top of the t-shirt, it says, I hate every cop in this town. And the bottom of it says,
