Starting point is 00:00:00 So many con Yeti fingers in this. I assumed when you were doing that last time that con Yeti was the demon. I didn't racist. Harsh No. I assume't expect. Racist? Harsh, no. I assumed. Oh, all Italians are evil. Canieri. I just assumed that someone in the movie was like,
Starting point is 00:00:32 no, Canieri. But instead it's just 200 members of the Canieri family each gave $100 to make this movie. There's five, I think five Cognettis credit in this. They each have 10 fingers. That's 50 Cognetti fingers in this movie. Just in this movie, so many Cognetti fingers. I've typed the word Cognetti so many times
Starting point is 00:00:58 to my friend Tara in all caps that now my phone auto-corrects Cognetti to all caps. Did you mean Cognty? Kanye-ty! I gotta be honest, I love the Kanye-ties. Oh, they did a great thing. Great thing. Spoilers for Hell House, LLC. LLC.
Starting point is 00:01:19 And that's, I just think like that's the worst thing they did, honestly. But it was like, oh, there's probably like 14 other movies called Hell House and we can't possibly rename this. I mean, imagine another name for a movie about a haunted house. There just cannot be. Kanye. Yeti!
Starting point is 00:01:37 This is like it's a little sub genre now, the haunted house horror movie. Oh, I didn't know that. Well, there's Haunt, which came out this year. I didn't know that. It's on the Shudder. It's good. It's a much like meaner movie than this movie.
Starting point is 00:01:51 Yeah. And I feel like there's another one too that I'm gonna totally fucking blank on right now. I think it's Hell House 2, Abaddon, something, something. You mean Hell Else LLC. I'm so sorry, Hell Else LLC 2, which I have also seen. You haven't seen The Trace yet. No, I meant we were gonna watch Lady's Nightmare,
Starting point is 00:02:08 my kid was sick and I missed it, and I started watching it and then I just didn't get to finish it, so I am like, a little more than two thirds of the way through the Hell House LLC franchise. Are the Cognettis still involved? Oh, the Cognettis are all over this thing. Bless you, Cognettis.
Starting point is 00:02:29 So, tell us what this movie is since you're the resident LLC expert. This movie is sort of a found footage slash documentary about a group of people who comprise Hell House LLC, limited liability company, and they are haunted house builders. They have built a number of successful haunted houses in the past, but now have moved out of New York City into Abaddon, New York, where they build another haunted house in a abandoned hotel, and things go terribly wrong. I love that it's an abandoned hotel,
Starting point is 00:03:04 and Abaddon is so close to abandoned. Oh, it's also, I guess, a demon, but it's also, which they say in the movie, but it's also apparently a character in Warhammer 40,000. Abaddon the Despoiler is what Rob. Despoiler. I think Despoiler, I think that's right. If it's not right, I'm sorry and like don't at me,
Starting point is 00:03:25 but Rob will be more mad at me than you could ever be for not knowing that, so. I think it's also, I wanna say the guitar player of heavy metal band Venom is named Abaddon. I bet that's not his Christian name. No, it's like Rick Abaddon Smith. Vince Bryanson. Kanye-ty!
Starting point is 00:03:56 So. I'm a little confused about the timeline on this. It's like 2009 is when the bad thing happens. When are we starting off with the documentary? Is it 10 years later? Five years later. Yeah. Okay. I couldn't quite figure out where we were on the timeline. When it happens, when are we starting off with the documentary? Is it 10 years later? Five years later. Five years later. Yeah. Okay. I couldn't quite figure out where we were on the timeline.
Starting point is 00:04:08 Yeah. It's not real clear about the timeline and it's not real clear about what actually happens. A lot of that is explained in the second movie. So you kind of have to see Hell House LLC 2. Do you understand Hell House LLC 1? There's a scene in this movie where one character is explaining something that's going on to another character. And as they get to the explanation, a splice scene is cut in of somebody else
Starting point is 00:04:33 being like, abba, dabba, dabba, dabba, dabba. And then it goes back to the conversation and like, yeah, yeah, I get it. I understand. And I went, did I, am I okay? Are you talking about the scene where they're like sitting in a field with a wheat, with a big blade of grass like swaying in front of them? Yeah, that is all explained in the second movie. Which is like, you didn't,
Starting point is 00:04:53 probably didn't know you were gonna get three conyettes. So it's a gamble, yeah. Oh, I just realized I asked a question in the game for the YouTube video. That you wouldn't know it was about the investment. So you wouldn't know that unless you watched Hell, Hell's LLC 2. Well, no, I think it comes out
Starting point is 00:05:14 that he's fucked up the finances. They never say it's the finances. Oh, really? But whatever. I mean, spoilers for Hell, Hell's LLC 2, I'm so sorry. But we watched this and Rob was like, what are they talking about? And I was like, I don't think you're supposed to know.
Starting point is 00:05:26 And he was like, but you know. And I was like, yes, I do. The least spooky thing, although real life terrifying. Yeah. So we start off with this YouTube video of these kids going into the haunted house or the hell house LLC. I wish the LLC was on their side.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Just let people know what they're getting into. Also the graphic design of their side is like soups butch and I'm way into it. So proud of it. It looks so good. It looks so good. Look at this. How could you drive right by this like I would? You like a haunted house? You do. No. I thought you liked them. I thought you went to them.
Starting point is 00:06:00 They spooked me out. You used to. I've been to Phantom Fright Nights once. Yeah, I don't know, I have like social anxiety. So I get real bugged out when people jump at me. Yeah, that's reasonable. Which is weird that I went to punk shows for 20 years. There's a lot of jumpin' at me back then.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Well, they're not just like coming out from around a corner and going, you know. They're really trying to shock you at a punk show. Yeah. Oh, mosh pit. Yeah, you know what's gonna really trying to shock you at a bug show. Yeah. Oh, mosh pit. Yeah. Yeah. You know what's going to happen. Just wait for the breakdown. Yeah. Yeah. No, I get bugged out and then like movies like this and that Haunt movie, like just like, that's basically about a group of people, spoiler alert for Haunt, that are just killing people.
Starting point is 00:06:45 That's a lot meaner, huh? A knockup, that are just killing people. Add a like a look. Yeah, yeah. That's a lot meaner, huh? A knockup, like, oh, there's a haunted house over here. Why don't you come over here? That's gross. Yeah. I'm gonna probably watch it. It's good.
Starting point is 00:06:55 It was good. But yeah, I just get bugged out by them. And I got scared by one when I was like five. So it's just like gonna burn in my little baby brain. And it was fascinating by one. I think I've talked about it on here before, the Brigantine Castle. No, I don't know that. In New Jersey, there's the Brigantine Beach and there was a long pier that had a castle on it that was a haunted house. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:07:16 And they used to show commercials for it, like, because I lived close enough to New Jersey and Philadelphia to see them. And I was just fucking fascinated because there's like a scene where someone's decapitated and like, I think electricity is running out of their neck. It's just like super spooks. It was fun. It was like super cheap but fun. But it burnt down like 1985, so I never got to go to it.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Oh, that's heartbreaking. That really is heartbreaking. But it's like, so that's burned into my head of like, yeah, I wanna do that. Yeah. But I don't actually like going's burned into my head of like, yeah, I want to do that. Yeah. But I don't actually like going to the beach. I'm sorry, I thought you did. No, it's okay.
Starting point is 00:07:50 I didn't mean to accuse you. Last time when I went to Phantom Fright Nights, we came around a corner on one of them and a guy was just standing there smoking a cigarette and he's like, oh, all right, boo. Oh, no. Buddy. Oh, God. Earn that 715 hour champ. You earned that 715 hour champ. So yeah, this YouTube video shows people going into the house and then just chaos erupts.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Yes. But I like the thing of at the end of the movie, you see stuff that happens in that video and you're like, oh, now I see. Right. But where did that footage come from? Because they're like, oh, we found this. Why didn't you find it in the previous five years? That's like real convenient.
Starting point is 00:08:25 It pops up now in the final frames, you know? There's a lot of stuff like that. So it's this documentary, these people like figuring out what happened. Right. And doing, there's some talking head footage and the talking head people are terrible. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:08:41 I love that man's facial hair where he has like the big white beard but his mustache is black. I love it. If you squint, he looks a little Hitler-y, but otherwise it's pretty good. I mean, just like, there's the other guy, the reporter, who's like, all right, so I guess I'm smug.
Starting point is 00:08:57 I'm gonna go with smug. And everything is just delivered with a smile. But like, you know, I looked in that basement and I was like oh no I'm not going down there you can't guys can't see right now but Alan and I are just making huge eyes at each other which is pretty much how that guy's acting yeah no I don't think so see you know sometimes we see movies and I think oh I could be an actor but then I see that and I'm like oh no that's exactly what I would do you, like I would do such a bad job.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Yeah, my long running half-assing it through things. I'd be like, well, snarky, go, we got this. Well. So then we meet Sarah. Yes, she has found the documentary filmmakers. No one has heard from her in five years. And we're told that like the town has covered this up and there's no information.
Starting point is 00:09:52 The police won't give any information. Not even to the victim's families, which is like, also you cannot, that cannot be. There would be so many lawsuits. Yeah, right. But Sarah resurfaces and she provides them with a bag full of tapes. Yeah, video tapes.
Starting point is 00:10:09 They had taped like every moment of setting up Hell House, LLC. No, not the LLC itself. That would have been done like in an accountant's or lawyer's office. What if that's what was on the tapes? Yeah, just them signing the papers and being like 20% each? Yes, 20% each. Also 2009, pretty sure they would have just had a bunch of SIM cards inside of their cameras.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Oh, I don't know. Yeah. Yeah, probably. Cause when you do just have, I don't know. I mean, going to video seems like a bit of an antiquated thing in 2009, maybe I'm wrong. I mean, I'm looking back from 2019, and I just don't remember the past.
Starting point is 00:10:41 10 years is a long time. It really is. Yeah. So much has changed. So much has stayed long time. It really is. Yeah. So much has changed. So much has stayed the same. We were so much better in 2009. I wasn't. No, you weren't.
Starting point is 00:10:53 But the world was. Yeah. Yeah. Or was it? Who can say? Okay, boomer. That's the thing I learned on the internet. That's pretty good, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:11:04 Okay, boomer. You're not a boomer, are you? You're Gen X. That's the thing I learned on the internet. That's pretty good. Isn't it? Okay, Boomer. You're not a Boomer, are you? You're Gen X. Jesus Christ, no. I know you're not. You're not a Boomer, are you? Gen X, you guys don't get much, do you?
Starting point is 00:11:17 No, we're not gonna get a president. We don't get much of anything, yeah. Oh, that's fine. There are a bunch of slackers anyway. What about Kamala Harris? Is she Generation X? If so, cause you might get her. I mean, you probably won't, but you could.
Starting point is 00:11:31 She might be, but we probably won't. No, I wouldn't really push for that anyway. Anyway. Tell you, she brings this bag full of tapes. And they're like, cool. Mark's going to go look at these right now. It's Mitchell, who is the main character of Hell House LLC2. Yeah. Mitchell Kavanaugh. Fucking Mitchell. Yeah. He's pretty great. He's actually really terrible in Hell House LLC2. And
Starting point is 00:11:55 I'm sorry to keep talking about it, but he's a Russian actor or maybe Romanian, but he's from somewhere in Eastern Europe. Uh, and occasionally he just like slips into that accent. Even though his name like slips into that accent. His name is Mitchell Kavanaugh. It's pretty good. OK, anyway, go on. So Mitchell takes the tapes and he's going to go look at them and then we don't see him for a while. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:17 And then Sarah doesn't really have any other information. That's interesting. What do they talk about while he watches all of these hours of tape? Because there's going to be a lot of hours of tape. We get a lot more of talking to Squinty Hitler. Squinty Hitler. Or Squint to Hitler. Yeah. And this guy.
Starting point is 00:12:35 I'm just, I'm not going down there. You can't, whew. Ha ha ha. He just, yeah, he just has a vibe to him. And I'm like, ugh. Yeah, it's a weird vibe. He has a weird face. And Diane, who is interviewing Sarah,
Starting point is 00:12:51 is a terrible interviewer. She is the worst actor in this movie. She's very oddly antagonistic the whole time. And then being like, no, no, no, no, oh yeah, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure. Oh my God, girl, yeah. But I should also put this out there. These people are by no stretch of the imagination the worst actors we ever seen.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Oh my God, no. We're mocking them because there isn't much else to mock right now. Yeah. So we start seeing the footage. That's what we do. Oh. We're a mockumentary. I saw this called a mockumentary and I was like, no, that's, that's like Spinal Tap as a mockumentary.
Starting point is 00:13:25 This is just a faux documentary. A focumentary. That's not good. Meet the focumentaries. So we see this like random footage of them going out to Abaddon and the whole thing with, like, Sarah not knowing about, uh... Last Man on Earth, or... No. Legend. Legend. Yeah, I am legend. Oh. Uh...
Starting point is 00:13:53 I never saw it either, to be honest with you. It's not good. No. No. Mm-mm. I've never seen Hitch either. Have you? We're during the next week. Oh, cool. I have not. But there's just, like...
Starting point is 00:14:05 the scene setting up that Paul's a dickhead. Is that what that's setting up? I don't know. I hate this in movies where it's like found footage. Yeah. Where everyone's happy at the beginning, you know? It's the pot smoking scene in Blair Witch. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Right, I hate it. It makes me feel very uncomfortable. But also all of these characters are at first interchangeable. Like when we watched this movie, A Lady's Nightmare, it took us damn near half the movie to figure out which character was which. I still don't 100% know the difference
Starting point is 00:14:39 between Alex and Paul, I think. No, Alex and Tony. I don't know the difference. Alex is the guy who's like pushing the whole thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but like. Tony's like, Mike, I think. No, Alex and Tony. I don't know the difference. Alex is the guy who's pushing the whole thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but like. Tony's like, Mike, can I tell you, if you had gotten Tony in the quiz in our YouTube video would have been.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Wait, which one are you? Did you even get a death scene? I guess it doesn't really matter. That's if you got Tony. That's spot on. Thank you. I don't think he has a death scene. I don't remember him. I think that's. I don't think he has a death scene. I don't remember him.
Starting point is 00:15:07 I think that's why I don't know who he is because he just flits in and out of the movie. He's real generic looking too. He's the buff one, I guess, that doesn't have the chiniest chin whoever chinned. That's Mac. And Alex and Mac are fighting the whole time. They just are butting heads. They're just a bunch of head butters. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:26 They just can't seem to get along. I like that scene where they're fighting outside the car and Sarah sticks her head out the window and goes, Guys, I'm really hungry. They're like, we have to go. Sarah's hungry. There's another scene where she's like, I have to pee and they're like, we'll just go pee in a bush. Yeah, I'm going to pee in a bush. Who has not peed in a bush? You're 30 we're told. Oh man. Is she? There's no way she actually is though, right? Maybe she was 25 in this and she's 30 in the interview.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Or is she? Anyway. So yeah, they eventually get to the hotel. It's real beat down. It's real, it's real fucked up inside. Yeah, it's trashed. In my reading about this, that is an actual Halloween haunted house. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:15 In Lehighton, Pennsylvania, because it's in the Lehigh Valley. I should have guessed. Of course it is. I should have guessed. Turns out we just ran out of names and we started smashing things together. Lee Highton, that's where we are right now. But yeah, it's like an actual haunt. And I guess the person who ran the haunt
Starting point is 00:16:32 became the production designer, which is cool. That is cool. Cause they use it for all three movies, the same set. Oh really? Yeah. And I think that's one of the things that's done really well in this movie is we spend so much time walking around in that house that when like shit starts going down at the end, you like sort of feel like you know it.
Starting point is 00:16:51 You know what I mean? Yeah. It's it's it and you can tell it's like a real small town haunted house. You know, like small budge haunted house. Like it's not OTT or like, with just like, you know, special effects and stuff. It's just like. It's like spider webs made out of like cotton and things like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:17 Which is interesting because we are sort of led to believe that they're very successful at this. Yeah, for sure. I would think they would have better props if they've been doing it for years. you know what I mean? I loved the whole thing of just being like to give them that history. They're like, dude, remember Queen? I'm sorry, it's never dude, it's always bro. Bro. Bro. This is a thing I really don't like too in movies or in life is like when people are just
Starting point is 00:17:38 reminiscing about a thing you weren't there for. It's like so aggravating. Cuz like do it for a little bit and then let it go, but just like, it's not fun to be a viewer in that scene, you know? Does the guy that played New York Satan come back in the later movies? No. What they're talking about again. Unless he shows up in three, but I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:17:58 Hey, I'm fucking Lucifer over here. I did like that quite a bit. I wanted him to be a character that's like, oh where the fuck is everybody? I'm Satan! Did you not notice that he was the big bad at the end of this one? It was New York Lucifer, right? He took that chain-up woman and just shoved a piece of pizza right in her face. I have so many issues with that. Uh huh. But yeah, so it starts, so it goes, it starts going off, off the rails pretty quick with
Starting point is 00:18:26 Paul doing the annoying thing of waking up and turning on the video camera. I got a vlog. He has a 1990 tattoo and I think I wonder if that actor really has that tattoo. I didn't even notice. It's he's shirtless in that scene and it's like right under his clavicle. It just says 1990. Best year, bro. Best year.
Starting point is 00:18:44 And then I was like, Oh, Best year, bro. Best year. And then I was like, oh, you're a beby. The beby. Wait, do you think that's his date of birth? Yeah. Oh, wow. That would make him six years younger than me. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Or 16 years younger than you, just to do the math. Because you're a boomer. Boomer. Boomer. Ha, ha, ha. Oh, god. You know I didn't really think that, right? No, I do, I do.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Okay. Okay, Boomer. Ha ha ha. I'm still just reeling from like, people from who were born the year that I graduated are full blown fucking adults and almost 30 years old. Oh yeah. That's cray cray.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Yeah. If I can use the parlance of a couple years ago. Yeah, several many years ago. Yeah, so he wakes up and like, he's like, oh man, I'm just so whatever. This is, I just was looking for some, you know, ladies out here. I just wanted to get some, yeah, what's up?
Starting point is 00:19:39 He's just like set up immediately to be a gross predator. Yeah. 100% and leans into it later. He does and when he's talking to the woman later, it's like, like how has this ever worked for you? Like no woman wants to be talked to like this. No, mm-mm, mm-mm. Ugh.
Starting point is 00:19:58 And she's like, ah-ha. So I guess she does. For some reason, there's a fucking red light bulb in the hallway too, which was just infuriating. And he's sleeping with the door open. Somebody walks into the doorway and just staring at him with like a big fright way gone. He's like, Sarah?
Starting point is 00:20:15 It's a very tall person. Very tall, at least six five. Sarah's like five four. And then he's like, whatever, and rolls over and goes the fuck back to sleep. I would be dead. Oh my God, it was infuriating. He does two later on when he pulls the covers over his head.
Starting point is 00:20:34 I found that very relatable. Really? Yes. Because I think that's what I would do, honestly, and just be like, this will go away, this will go away, this will go away, you know? I found that to be very relatable for a person who is absolutely sure that they would never fight in any of these situations. You know, I'm not,
Starting point is 00:20:50 people say like I'm not going down without a fight, but I 100% am. I'm, I'm just going down with, I hope that I stand up and I'm six foot two and huge and you're just going to be like, well I'm a demon, but I'm still going to walk away from this. You're like, woof, okay, No, stats are not in my favor. I'm unfortunately wearing that shirt that says I'm definitely asthmatic and you're going to win. You have that shirt. You should get that. We should put that in our tea public
Starting point is 00:21:13 story. It's probably not the best thing to advertise. People are just getting mugged all over the country. Oh, I forgot to mention when they go into the basement, there's already a pentacle painted. It's not a pentagram because it's facing up. Okay. And Bibles all over the floor.
Starting point is 00:21:36 Right. And they're like, they're fucking, there's Bibles. But one of them does say, this is a hotel, there's a Bible in every room. She's like, well, put them down here. Maybe they were in a box and the box got tipped over. Yeah. You didn't bug out that all the furniture was laying on its side. Yeah, madam. They're talking immediately like, oh yeah, we're going to have like four clowns here or however many clouds we can fit in
Starting point is 00:22:01 this area. I feel like they should be clown fitting professionals. Like I feel like they should know how many clowns are going can fit in this area. I feel like they should be clown fitting professionals. Like I feel like they should know how many clowns are going to fit in an area. I feel like they should be able to look at any wall and be like three, four, two, maybe. You know, I feel like if the movie was remade right now, they would be app developers that are making clown it. We can just put it in a snapshot of a wall and be like, all right,
Starting point is 00:22:23 you can get seven, seven clowns, get a snapshot of a wall, and be like, all right, you can give it seven clowns. Seven clowns of average size. And they're like, oh, we're gonna have a topless woman over here chained up, but we'll have a ripped dude in a clown costume. He can be the bouncer also. But he's gonna be sitting on the floor, prone position, and he's me. Yeah
Starting point is 00:22:46 I'm a lot of things. I am NOT a ripped dude. No No No, it's a it's I mean just the idea of hiring an actor and also entrusting them with the safety of another actor in terms of like Having them be chained up and you being responsible for the? First of all, why the fuck is she really chained up? That's my biggest problem in this whole fucking movie. What the fuck? Like, I understand that for the plot, she's gotta be,
Starting point is 00:23:16 but like... Let me just throw this out there. Yeah. You have agreed to be in a haunted house. First of all, I wouldn't, but okay. By a bunch of people, you do not know. Yeah, and when you are in that haunted house a guy comes and cuts your t-shirt dress open She must have knew that no one that was yeah And people are gonna walk by you within touching distance. Yeah, and she's like no one's gonna touch me, right?
Starting point is 00:23:42 And they're like, no, no, no, definitely not. Yeah, definitely not. Oh God. But your hands are chained above your head. I would never. There's no way. And no one would ever. No one would ever. Oh my God. I mean, and I assume that these places have to have like an OSHA that comes through and be like, uh, actually, you can't do that. I mean, I guess they are a limited liability company and I presume that the workers are contractors and not W2 employees, which would mean that workers compensation laws don't apply to them. So I'm not sure in what sense OSHA would kick in. Although I guess contractors also have a right to safety in the workplace.
Starting point is 00:24:23 I'll look into it. I'll get back. Well, I'll circle back around with you. By the time we do Hell Held's LLC 2, please have this information. We're gonna do it though, right? Yeah, for sure. Okay, great, thank you. The next morning, we see Paul being a total creep on Sarah. Put your butt away or close the door though.
Starting point is 00:24:43 You know, I mean, she didn't, she shouldn't be filmed, but she's obviously going to be seen. Sure. And, but seen and filmed are too bare. Absolutely. But also put your butt away or close the door. If you don't want people looking at your butt. I'm not trying to be a prude here. I'm just saying. I did like that, uh, Alex, her, her bow, who was way too ugly for her, but it felt like he was like sitting in bed feeling like, I did like that Alex, her bow.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Who was way too ugly for her. But it felt like he was sitting in bed feeling like, I look like Marky Mark right now. That's just the vibe he was giving off. For sure. So most of the movie is basically through Paul's eyes up to a certain point. And he does that, whatever happened to Baby Jane reference,
Starting point is 00:25:24 which I absolutely love. I was like, this is a person who likes movies. Who wrote this. And I like that. I'm writing a letter to daddy. Why did you leave me hanging? His mailbox is heaven above. I thought you were gonna join in.
Starting point is 00:25:43 You do it so well. I hate you. I wouldn't wanna take it. You do it so well. I hate you. I wouldn't want to take it. You're not my friend. Just kidding. You're my friend. I'm a boomer and I'm not your friend. You're a boomer and you're not my friend.
Starting point is 00:25:55 You're a virgin who can't drive. I feel like this movie has possessed you with a demon. I know. I am feeling rather sassy. So, is this where we see the clown at the top of the stairs? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I loved this. So spooky. I thought it was so spooky
Starting point is 00:26:16 and so good. So Paul is filming, he's walking around, he walks into the hallway that opens to the basement stairs and standing at the top of the stairs, looking down the stairs is the giant clown dummy. And I think the design of this mask is super good. For sure. It's really creepy.
Starting point is 00:26:35 And then he like looks away or the camera cut basically like spins around and when it spins back, it's looking at him. Yeah, with bloody eyes. Yeah, and he thinks it's, I don't know. Tony. Tony. It's your boy Tony. My boy Tony. Yeah, and he thinks it's, I don't know. Tony. Tony. It's your boy Tony. My boy Tony.
Starting point is 00:26:46 My boy and yours, Tony. And then when he runs back into the other room, Tony's there. Or Tony's got it, which is a Coolpittsburg reference. What does Tony have? I don't remember. Tony's got it. Hardware? Windows?
Starting point is 00:27:01 I'm not sure. I don't know who Tony is. You've never heard those ads? No. Tony's got it. Okay, forget it. I don't listen to a lot of ad-based things. Oh, but I've heard it on... I don't know.
Starting point is 00:27:13 ...DV. Yeah. Paul's reaction when he sees Tony in the other room is like, Dude, what? How did you get out here? But it's like, it's so funny. It is so funny. And then he runs back to, and the clown's sitting in the basement, right?
Starting point is 00:27:33 The clown is sitting in the basement. Yeah. And so everyone, he shows them the footage, which is very scary, cause we've seen it too. Yeah. And everyone's like, oh, you're just playing a prank on us. And I was like, Oh my God, like I am so glad that no one would think I was playing a prank.
Starting point is 00:27:50 If you know what I mean, if this happened to me, I mean at that point I'm just driving back to New York. I'm done driving back to New York right now. Right. Or I'll call a 2009 Uber. I'm going home. What'd you call those taxis? Taxis. Um, a 2009 Uber is called a taxi. Yeah, that sounds right. Uh, I do, I do want to send home how much of a scumbag Paul is cause he's doing one of his vlog entries and he's like, yeah, there's no chicks here. And you know,
Starting point is 00:28:18 there's just Sarah and she's with Alex and he's not into sharing. And I was just like, hold on. Yeah. Hold on, champ. Like, is that an expectation or are you just a straight up grosso? It's not his choice. Eh. Just a straight, just a straight gross. But I think, I guess that's to make us feel not sympathetic to him. I think so.
Starting point is 00:28:41 This is one of those movies where I'm like, who am I rooting for here? I think Tony. I think Tony is our hero. He's really the only one who doesn't do anything wrong or suck too bad, I think. Wait, is this a movie about a superhero named Tony? I don't, is that like a reference I should get? It's the Pixies song. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Starting point is 00:29:01 I always thought you were trying to talk about some Marvel stuff. Yeah. It's called Tony's Song. oh, I always thought you were trying to talk about some Marvel stuff. Yeah. It's called Tony song. See, I do know it. You talk about some comic book shit, dog. There is a superhero named Tony, isn't there? It's the guy with the red suit.
Starting point is 00:29:14 Tony Stark. Yeah. He's, wait. He's Deadpool. He's Iron Man. He's Iron Man. He's Iron Man. I am Iron Man. Is that a good and timely reference?
Starting point is 00:29:33 Is that Marvel, Iron Man? Mm-hmm. Okay, see I got it. You nailed it. I'm on Marveling at Marvel's Marvels, Alan's more successful podcast. So we learned about Andrew Tully. Yeah, real quick though.
Starting point is 00:29:46 Real quick, and they show the photo of him hanging. He was an occultist. He ran the hotel and hung himself in the dining room. It's a very nice Cthulhu mythos story, I think, that you could really work in. And the name Tully is straight out of Lovecraft. Absolutely. So when we see Andy Tully after he's hung himself,
Starting point is 00:30:05 they show a photo and it was like, the fuck did you get that photo? The police photo. Okay guys. And it says whatever date, 1989. And I was like, oh, I expected this to have happened in the twenties. Yeah, it's an interesting thing to have
Starting point is 00:30:19 that have happened only 20 years prior. Right. And there's something about that. There's something of that 20 year timeframe as to why shit goes down at the end of the movie. I recommend watching LLC2 to answer some of these questions for you because they are answered. Okay. All right. All right. When they're describing him, the guy's like, he fanted himself a latter-day Dante. Do we?
Starting point is 00:30:45 Who does? Has anyone ever done that? That's so weird. I literally don't even know how you would begin to become a latter-day Dante. Just like, huh? That's not what Dante did. I fancy myself a latter-day Paul Abdul.
Starting point is 00:31:03 That's great. I fancy myself a latter- Paul Abdul. That's great. I fancy myself a latter day Sam Seas Cat Cat. There we go. This is gonna work out. What's Cat Cat up to these days? I have no idea. Are you just gonna be a judge on America's Got Talent? Is that true?
Starting point is 00:31:18 You know what? You can tell me anything. If a cartoon cat showed up. Why not? I mean, why not? You can tell me anything. If a cartoon cat showed up. Why not? Anything, you can tell me anything. There's a whole TV show about like,
Starting point is 00:31:30 people in like sports mascot costumes singing and you're supposed to guess who it is. I made a joke about watching that show and my cousin Vicky was like, I'm watching that show. But now she's listening to this podcast too, so I have to be careful what I say. But she hasn't said anything about the funeral plans, so she doesn't know.
Starting point is 00:31:45 And if she just heard that, Vicky, I love you. Don't go back and find them. Hi. Oh, there's also the night that then they're woken up by a scream in the middle of the night. Yes. Was there anything, is that when the clown was at the bottom of the stairs
Starting point is 00:32:04 or is that later? No, that's just like a thing that happened, and they were like, okay. Yeah. That's not right, or normal, or okay. Nope. But nobody ever thinks any of this is not right, or normal, or okay, except I guess Paul.
Starting point is 00:32:17 Right. What's the, uh, the... Is the clown's name Joe? Joey, yeah. Joey. Uh, the thing he does with his eye, he can really do that. Oh, I'm sure. It looked like he's really doing it.
Starting point is 00:32:29 It's super gross. It is super gross and I like it a lot. I think it was on the Wikipedia page I was reading that he could really do it. And then the next line was, he advises you do not try to do it. Oh my God, why would anyone try to do that? Oh God, imagine that going wrong.
Starting point is 00:32:43 I'm sure we've talked about this. What we had to have in the Street Fighter episode, because Raul Julia could do that. And then he was doing an interview and it went wrong. Oy. Oy. So we see the clown. Does that happen in the middle of the night?
Starting point is 00:33:01 The clown at the... Well, first we have to do the... Isn't the strobe light scene before that... Well, first we have to do the, isn't the strobe light scene before that? Yeah, I liked that. It's fucking terrifying. It's such a good mechanic. Like this whole movie, you can tell,
Starting point is 00:33:11 is made very cheaply and it never really like, it doesn't let you down on the scares. Well, what's great about it is it's all the things that would work in a haunted house. Exactly, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So describe the strobe light scene. So they're gonna run one of the hallway scenes to make sure that it works for the haunted house.
Starting point is 00:33:30 So they put a GoPro on top of Paul's head, which is somehow seven feet in the air. And I'm like, yeah, what's going on? Yeah, he's standing on several apple boxes because he's all of a sudden, like seven inches taller than Tony, who's the tallest dude out of all of them. Yeah. But so they flip on the strobe lights and at the end of the hall, well halfway down the hallway is like a pig man, like a... Mannequin? Mannequin, thank you. And then a little further down is like a long-haired skeleton man. And then the strobe lights start going and there's another person standing behind the skeleton man.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Yeah. And then he's a little closer. Yeah. And then he's a little closer. Yeah. And then Paul fucking loses his mind and runs out of the room and pukes. And well the verse the basement is locked when he runs up the stairs. He can't get the door open and Tony or whoever has to open it and then he runs up and pukes.
Starting point is 00:34:22 Yeah. And Tony's reaction is what the fuck is wrong with you? Which is funny because he actually puked. Oh really? That wasn't written into the movie. He just puked? And the guy's response was what the fuck is wrong with you? Unless they put that in post, but I don't want them to have it.
Starting point is 00:34:44 I went to ew, dude. What the fuck is wrong with you? Why did he puke? I don't know. Just for fun. Just for funsies. He might've been hyperventilating. Yeah, and he had to like climb over that one counter
Starting point is 00:34:58 to get out of it and stuff. He seemed like he was struggling to get over it. I would have just had to go through it. Just leave an Allen shaped hole in it. Oh yeah. What the fuck is wrong with you? I feel like if someone throws up and I'm not expecting it and my reaction is like, oh my God, are you okay?
Starting point is 00:35:19 Like, and of course you're not because you just burped. So it's also a stupid question, you know? If he's a shit, what are you doing right now? Why are you the worst? Oh, you're not because you just burped. So it's also a stupid question, you know? He's a shit, what are you doing right now? Why are you the worst? Oh, you're cleaning that up. I think then we see the clown. At the bottom of the stairs? Yeah, this is when the grandfather clock strikes midnight.
Starting point is 00:35:38 And then like the dining room is all like set up for a meal. Is that this night? Right, I think, yes. Okay, so. Because this happens a couple of times through the movie. Right, the clown is at the bottom of the stairs and Mac goes down and touches it, which why the fuck would you?
Starting point is 00:35:55 And it's just the dummy. And he's like, someone set it up there. And then they look into the basement and see Sarah facing the wall, speaking in tongues. Which like never really pays off. Or does it? Okay, you tell me. Did you see how else do you LLC?
Starting point is 00:36:10 How else LLC too? But she, it turns out there's something wrong with Sarah. But is it already, I guess it already is. I think she's already, cause we'd later see her out when they're out at the, they're trying to shoot the commercial. And she's just standing and talking to the Virgin Mary. But she was looking at it, wasn't she?
Starting point is 00:36:26 Or was she talking to her? I don't know, she had really weird posture while she was hanging out. Yeah. But it was weird because there's the scene where they find the broken Virgin Mary plate, and Alex holds it up and goes, it looks like Sarah, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:36:37 I just wrote the note like, oh, because they're both women? I was like, is that supposed to be a bust? I don't know. You look like the fucking Virgin Mary, you piece of shit. I love you, you piece of shit. So okay, so they find Sarah down there, she's like in a sleep trance, basically.
Starting point is 00:36:54 They wake her up, she freaks out, they go back up the stairs, and that's when the grandfather clock chimes. Oh, okay. Which I guess it had never chimed before, that's the scary thing. Okay, yeah, that's pretty scary. It I guess it had never chimed before. That's the scary thing. Yeah. Okay, yeah. That's pretty scary. It is.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Yeah. It is. Also we've seen Paul sitting at a piano playing a tune. With Hector. Which we need to bring up because it comes back. Yeah, it's like the basic four note spooky tune. Yeah, it is exceptionally spooky tune trademark TM. But you know what bothered me about that scene?
Starting point is 00:37:26 They have power in the house. Why don't they just turn the lights on? They're all running around in the dark. Like he goes down into the basement in the dark, turn the lights on. Cause nothing's spookier than just being lit with a shitty flashlight. I guess. But like if you're in that situation, aren't you just flipping on the switch? Well there is the one scene where they go into the basement and someone tries to turn it on and it won't turn on.
Starting point is 00:37:45 Oh, I missed that. Okay. But the rest of the time they're walking around in the house, they're like... Yeah. Because you see at one point they turn on the light and it's just like, wow, bright, cause you have to in those situations.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Cause if someone freaks out in that house, they have to be able to get them out quick. Right, sure. Because it's gonna shut your thing down and you want to do that as fast as possible. Right. As a person who's been to two haunted houses I could tell I did freak out in one once did you and the guy with the chains? I was like, oh no Yeah, they like it was this thing you had to go through like this air tunnel with it was like
Starting point is 00:38:22 I don't even know how to describe it, but it was like pieces of plastic. They were being inflated with air. So you had to like push your way through them and I'm very claustrophobic. And there was a sign at the beginning that was like, Oh, if you're claustrophobic, maybe don't go in here. But I thought, Oh, it's like a corn maze or something. You know, no, it was like really scary.
Starting point is 00:38:40 And I didn't know if I was going to get out and there were people behind me, which was really scary because like, then you really can't get out. And then when I came out on the other end, I was having a panic attack and the guy was like, oh God, oh shit. I just realized why you think that I love haunted houses. My favorite place,
Starting point is 00:38:57 one of my favorite places on earth is the House of Frankenstein wax museum. In Virginia Beach? There's one in Lake George. Okay. And It's probably the exact same thing but it's just all like you go room to room and you see the spooky things that are in there. But there is one time that you come around a corner and there's a bunch of bags of bodies hanging from the ceiling and as you walk
Starting point is 00:39:17 by one kicks out and it fucking like jumped out of my skin for a second. That's what I was just like oh oh no, I do love that thing. Yeah, that's a good thing. Yeah. I just want to be able to look at Frankenstein behind glass made out of wax. That's too much to ask. That's like the most mild of haunted houses.
Starting point is 00:39:35 Exactly. I'm very simple. So then Paul gets taken. Yeah, and no one is fucking concerned. And no one looks at the footage to see, they picked up the camera, the camera is filming, he's missing, real fucking wind. I hated it.
Starting point is 00:39:56 Like that's, for all the things this movie does right, and it does a lot of things right, this is the stuff it does wrong, where it's like, you can't just hand wave everything. And they're all like, he just fucking left. Whatever dude. But he did that before Queens too. You guys remember Queens? Yeah. Fucking bro. They do try to call Paul. They just get a high pitched squeal on the phone. I liked that a lot. Yeah. Because it's real loud when you're watching the movie too. It is, it is.
Starting point is 00:40:26 No, this is, that's when Tony and Mac go into the basement. Yes. And fucking freaky as shit when all of the clown heads turn to face him. It's so scary. That just gave me goosebumps, see that? Yeah. Yeah. I get bugged out kind of by masks,
Starting point is 00:40:44 like people wearing masks. You love, this place is full of masks. I know bugged out kind of by masks, like people wearing masks. This place is full of masks. I know, I know, but like, I had a Halloween party one year and somebody came in a mask and I didn't know who it was and they took off their mask and they had a second mask underneath of it. That's a great costume.
Starting point is 00:40:57 Thanks, Hedges. Was he wearing that Burger King mask? Of course he was. Of course he was. Was that the over or under mask? The over was Burger King, the under was, of course he was. Was that the over or under mask? The over was Burger King, the under was shitty Austin Powers mask, if I remember correctly. But I was like, I don't like it. So these clowns in their clown masks, like all turning their heads to look at it,
Starting point is 00:41:20 it was like, fuck, that's so creepy. And then they all turned back. So no, so that like Mac doesn't believe Tony that he saw them all turn their heads. And at this point I'm like, maybe this is some Scooby-Doo shit, there's an old man that's putting this whole thing on. I'm Andrew Telly and I've been here the whole time.
Starting point is 00:41:36 Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Boy are you gonna love LLC too. Ha ha ha. So then they find Paul in the basement, he's slumped over unresponsive. Yeah. And they don't like think maybe we should get
Starting point is 00:41:48 Paul medical help. No, no, no, no, no. I'm like so sad for Paul at this point, which is hard because you've really been conditioned to not like him. It's true. This is a good argument for not being an asshole. It's true because if something like this happened to you,
Starting point is 00:42:00 your friends would be so fucking concerned. Yeah, same for you. Yeah. Yeah, I hope so. Yeah. I hope so. Yeah. You assholes. I would expect you to pick me up, carry me out of that basement, and take me to a goddamn hospital.
Starting point is 00:42:14 I would. Or I'd call someone who had the ability to, yeah. The hospital pick it up wagon. What would they call that? Video wolf something. What'd they call that? A video wolf something. So this is where Tony quits, right? After, yeah, cause then they go to the high grass.
Starting point is 00:42:34 The high grass. And Max Lee call man don't quit because blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, all right, I'll stick around, motherfucker. They also like set up the camera at that spot to have that conversation. Like they were like, won't this look romantic? It would look like we're in a Blind Melon video
Starting point is 00:42:53 to be green. Yes. I wish they would have kissed in that Tinder moment. I like shopping Mac and Tony, honestly. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Into it? Yeah. Even though Mac's kind of the worst. But he's like, yeah. Into it? Yeah. Um.
Starting point is 00:43:05 Even though Mac's kind of the worst. But he's like so, he's the only one getting anything done, but he's also so bland that nobody cares, you know? I feel like that's gonna be on his tombstone. Just kidding. Yeah. Who? No, that's Tony.
Starting point is 00:43:14 Tony is who. He's the only one getting down anything done. He's so bland. So bland, though. Nobody cares. Nobody cares. This is also where Alex is wearing a t-shirt and a vest and I just hate him for it.
Starting point is 00:43:30 It's not a good look. It's never been a good look. It's never been a good look. And I just think unless you're like Jeff Goldblum, you're not pulling it off. Even so, he'd put a tie on it. He would put a tie on it. He would, he would class it up.
Starting point is 00:43:42 Is this where they get the video that like shows what happened in the basement? Yeah. So this is opening night and then like the documentary just hand waves in the fact that they have this, it's a like recovered footage from tour goer. Yeah. Well, when, when, when did you recover it? Was it in your bag of videotapes? I don't think so. Cause how could they have ever gotten it?
Starting point is 00:44:03 It's so silly. So silly. Because the person taking that video gets out. Yeah. We watch it happen, right? Yeah. But it like sort of syncs up with the other. Yeah. Because it's that woman that's talking to everybody. Right. You see her run out in the second video. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But this is where we see all the things of like Sarah running out the exit, the clown running out of the basement, which I was like, Joey, you had one job. No, actually Joey had a variety of jobs, none of which were like, you know, he could scare people, but he was also supposed to be in charge of this woman. But he's also supposed to be popping out his eye,
Starting point is 00:44:39 but he's also wearing a clown mask. So I'm not real sure what Joey's roles are. I feel like the eye thing would have to be like, Hey kid, check this out, lift your mask. So I'm not real sure what Joey's roles are. I feel like the eye thing would have to be like, Hey kid, check this out. Lift your mask. So scary. Okay. So also like, um, Tony and Alex are in the control room and I was like, do you really need a control room for an event like this? So like Q strobes, but like, why are they just on? It seems like a steady stream of people.
Starting point is 00:45:02 You need a control room. There's gotta be a lot be a good one. There's a lot of monitors. It's a lot of monitors, but the one in the basement doesn't work. Hand wave, hand wave, hand wave. Hand wave, hand wave, hand wave. Well, that could be evil. Evil has taken it over. No, it doesn't work from the beginning.
Starting point is 00:45:15 Oh, yeah, that's right. Well, maybe the basement's evil. Guy? No, hand wave, hand wave, hand wave. So they really chain up a young woman. They do. And they really cut her shirt young woman. They do. They really cut her shirt open.
Starting point is 00:45:26 They really do. And she's like, hey, hey, this is so exciting. That's what she says. Yeah. Hmm. Is it though? Is it? Also, you might have to pee at some point.
Starting point is 00:45:37 Oh my god, yeah. How long is a haunted house open for? Hours. Yeah, at least like four hours, I would guess. Can you imagine having your arms chained over your head for four hours? No, 10 minutes, no. Sometimes I sleep guess. Can you imagine having your arms chained over your head for four hours? No, 10 minutes, no. Sometimes I sleep with my arms above my head.
Starting point is 00:45:48 Oh no. And then when I wake up, they're asleep and I wake up and I can't move them and I'm just flapping them back and forth thinking I don't have arms. It's really scary for a couple seconds when you can't move your arms. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:59 And I'm doing that in my sleep. Anyway. What shows up? Who? Bad guy. Bad guy ease. Bad guys. There's a lot of them. Yeah, I guess.
Starting point is 00:46:15 In robes. Yeah. So in the additional footage that has been recovered, hand wave, hand wave, you see, that has been recovered, hand wave, hand wave, you see, like, basically it sort of cuts into the actress who has her arms, I think her name is Melissa perhaps? I think so. Screaming, this isn't part of the show,
Starting point is 00:46:36 help me, this isn't part of the show. It's Melissa, yeah. And like one woman's son is like, oh my God, are you okay? And she's like, this isn't part of the show, you have to help me, and the woman's like, bye. And just runs, just runs. Because in a haunted house, like that doesn't feel like my safe word. This isn't part of the show.
Starting point is 00:46:53 Yeah. Yeah. That feels like, oh, they're just trying to spook me. Yeah, that's fair. So we see like a dark shadowy robed figure emerge from behind her and it gets closer and closer. And then this footage like cuts away to like people running up the stairs and when it looks back she's like strung up crucifix style behind like on the wall behind where she had previously
Starting point is 00:47:16 been. And there's a bunch more of those robed people kind of like in the shadows of the room. And it's real quick. It does not linger, which I think is good. Yeah, wouldn't want to hang out with it for too long. When we watched that Lady's Nightmare, we like rewound it and paused it so we could see what was going on.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Oh yeah? Yeah. And just like a bunch of Voldemort show up to Harry Potter reference for the kids. But I love that Joey just runs out of the fucking basement. Yeah. Oh my God fucking basement. Yeah. Oh my God, Joey. Useless. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:48 And then we're told that he kills himself nine days later, so whoops. Why do we have the note monster faces? I think that like this is one of the things the movie does not do exactly well. Yeah. Is that the footage then like cuts to like a super close up monster face. Yeah. Yeah. monster face. Yeah Monster faces. Yeah, so then like oh Do we see footage of people running back out of they're trying to run out of the house? But like doors keep being locked on them. Yeah, and we see again the dining room is all set up for dinner
Starting point is 00:48:18 Yes, and there's like a little girl standing there the same one that took Paul. We forgot to talk about her stealing Oh my god. Yeah, she did steal Paul. Is that the same girl? That's the same girl standing there. The same one that took Paul. We forgot to talk about her stealing Paul. Oh my God, yeah, she did steal Paul. Is that the same girl? That's the same girl? It's the same girl. Oh, cool. And then she like moves. There's a lot of like people moving
Starting point is 00:48:32 in the background of shots of this or like off camera. And then when it comes back, they've moved and you just have to notice it. And I really like that. Like make us work for it. Yeah, and it kind of makes this movie, I think it would stand up to multiple viewings. It had, I liked it more the second time I watched it. Oh really? Yeah, make us work for it. Yeah, and it kind of makes this movie, I think it would stand up to multiple viewings. It had, I liked it more the second time I watched it.
Starting point is 00:48:47 Oh really? Yeah, absolutely. Like it does it again when Diane and her camera guy go back to the house, like they pan across the kitchen and there's like a dummy wearing a flannel shirt and jeans. Yeah. And then when it pans back across, it's Alex. Oh, that's right. Oh yeah, that's so fucking creepy. It's so fucking creepy.
Starting point is 00:49:02 I just gave myself goosebumps again. I rewound that cause Missy missed it. Yeah, Rob missed it too. And I also rewound it. Our stupid partners. Just kidding. You guys are great. Neither of them is listening, are they? So we find Alex is in the attic having hung himself. He's hanged, I guess. Yes. Which we see sort of happen in Mac's GoPro helmet footage. Right.
Starting point is 00:49:30 Cause he's trying to get everybody out of the house and they have to run up to the fucking attic and I was like, why would you ever do that? Why would you ever do that? And Alex was already up there, I think. And he already has like the rope around his neck but he's already fighting it. Yeah, he's fighting it.
Starting point is 00:49:42 Yeah. But where is, okay, so that's what happens to Alex. Yes. We know what happened. What happens to Mac? What happened to Tony? Robed figures take out Mac. Okay.
Starting point is 00:49:53 What about Tony? Tony, no idea. That's so weird. I think Tony got out of the house. No, nobody gets out of the house. I think Tony did. Tony, why didn't they question him? He just, didn't you say one of his hands in his pockets,
Starting point is 00:50:04 whistling down the street? I didn't have question him? He just, didn't you say, was hands in his pockets, whistling down the street? Like, I didn't have anything to do with that. I am not a member of this limited liability company. So then do we cut back to the Diane interviewing Sarah and she's like, I'm sitting in room 2C. Yeah, she's like, I'm very tired, I need to rest. And then the woman at the hotel is like, there's no letters after our hotel rooms name.
Starting point is 00:50:25 This like delightfully Australian woman. And I started to remember where she was from and, uh, and then like Diane and the, I guess, Mitchell. No Mitchell stays behind. Mitchell's the one who's watching the tapes cause he calls, he sees what happens on the tape calls Diane. And then she doesn't pick up because she's mean. And yeah, because they go downstairs to the hotel lobby
Starting point is 00:50:50 and she's like, oh yeah, we're going to go run out. And it's like, it's five o'clock in the morning. So it's still dark, bright ass sunlight pouring into this lobby. And then they go outside and it's pitch black. Yeah. That Australian girl does not work in the dark. And then we cut to the footage of Sarah finding Paul
Starting point is 00:51:06 and Paul beating Sarah to death with a camera. Yeah. So, dun dun dun. And then cutting his own throat. And then cutting his own throat, because earlier there was the mention that the police thought that somebody had cut their own throat.
Starting point is 00:51:17 Oh right, the smug guy told us that. I guess that somebody had cut their own throat. And you know, you gotta, and it's just. Bop bop. that somebody cut their own throat. And he got a, and it's just. So the documentary crew breaks in. Diane is being such a butt. She's terrible. She's wearing a really shiny trench coat, which I don't like.
Starting point is 00:51:36 She is being so mean to her crew. And she's just, she's like, I mean, regardless of what you think may have happened there, a bunch of people died. Yeah. And she's just like, fuck it, don't be a pussy. Like, Diane, shut up. Oh my god. And I just sound that unrealistic from Diane.
Starting point is 00:51:59 I did like the gun, but she's like, yeah, let's go upstairs, look, there's room 2C. Let's go in. And the guys were like. It's locked from the outside. There's a's go upstairs. Look, there's room 2C. Let's go in. And the guy's reaction. It's locked from the outside. There's a hook and eye on it. It's locked from the outside. The guy's reaction is, we're not here to go
Starting point is 00:52:12 in that crazy ass room. Yeah. And I was like, yeah, you're not. Just don't fucking go in there. And she fucking goes in. And what's in there? Sarah. But is it?
Starting point is 00:52:20 And then cultists. Yeah, her face is all smashed in. No, I know. Smashed. I know. I was asking me for them. Then it's doing that thing, which I also really don't like in movies where it's like cutting back to happier times in the video. Like, you don't need to do that. I already watched it once. So silly. Remember earlier we were taking that car ride. You didn't know who I am legend is.
Starting point is 00:52:42 And then remember earlier when you have to pee and then remember that time they sat in the field with wheat. Uh, and that's the end of hell house LLC. Yeah. Katie Allen. It's a rate this fucker. I loved it. Did you now the characters are bad, but I think purposefully so.
Starting point is 00:53:06 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't love a found footage because I get a little dizzy. Oh, did you? Yeah, a little bit. There are certain points where I was like, OK, I need to stop looking at this. Yeah, there's a lot of walking with cameras. Right.
Starting point is 00:53:19 But I think this movie had so many good ideas and executed those scary moments to perfection. For sure. I really, really enjoyed this movie had so many good ideas and executed those like scary moments like to perfection. For sure. I really, really enjoyed this movie. I think it's really fun. I think it's like both scary and fun. And it's not particularly mean, which I feel like we have not. I feel like a lot of the movies we've done from this decade are either like very scary and mean and no fun or very fun, but not scary or you know what I mean? Like not hitting all of those things. This movie is scary, fun and not mean. Yeah, unless you're Paul. I mean whatever. Paul is a give a little take a little I
Starting point is 00:53:58 think you know. I'm actually just quickly formulating a thing of like do you think these found footage movies to make them seem somewhat believable, the characters are unlikable? Because it's like you're people you know in real life. If they were likable, you'd be like, they're actors. Yeah, I mean, maybe. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:16 Because like, Sarah is pretty useless. What does she do for Hell Else LLC? I mean, what is her, like, Tony is working on the lights and Mac is like setting up the whatever's and Paul is like, I don't know, designing something. Like, what is her like Tony is working on the lights and Mac is like setting up the whatever's and Paul is like I don't know designing something like yeah, what is Sarah doing? I don't know. Yeah Just to wear the branded sweatshirts that she's wearing throughout the movie big fan of being hell else Yeah, I loved it what you gonna give it I'm gonna give it an eight and a half. I love it I loved it. What about you? I really enjoyed this movie give it an eight and a half. I love it. I loved it.
Starting point is 00:54:45 What about you? I really enjoyed this movie. Yeah. It's real fun. Yeah. It's a fun no brainer. You know what it was giving me vibes of in a weird way? Like stuff like tourist trap and those kind of like,
Starting point is 00:54:56 I think it's sort of in that lineage of like tourist trap and house of wax and that kind of thing. Yes. And yeah, I don't need those to be great actors and I don't need it to be like, I just want it to be fun and scary and maybe sometimes gross or weird or yeah. It was giving me all that.
Starting point is 00:55:10 Yeah and to be fair, Tourist Trap, House of Wax, Waxworks, none of them really had good actors except Billy from Gremlins. Well yeah, and fucking Chuck Connors man, come on. Chuck Connors is a tourist around the old man? Come on, he's great. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:21 I gotta rewatch that movie. I only saw that one time we did it for this podcast and it was so fun. It's so great. Oh yeah. I gotta re-watch that movie. I only saw that one time we did it for this podcast and it was so fun. It's so scary. So scary. I'm gonna give it an eight. Yeah. Yeah, it's real fun. Cool.
Starting point is 00:55:31 Yeah, I look forward to watching the other ones. Yeah, because we're gonna do one of them week after next, right? I guess. HH2 LLC. Katie. Alan. Would you like to go to a little place
Starting point is 00:55:43 that I like to call Mailbag? Sure. Can I read a review to go to a little place that I like to call Mailbag? Sure. Can I read a review from iTunes? I would love that. This is from Kamloten. Hello Kamloten. Five stars.
Starting point is 00:55:55 Hilarious and a huge tease. What? Tell me more. So this show is excellent. Thank you. The hosts are super funny and have awesome compulsively listenable banter. Oh, high five. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:56:10 You should absolutely listen to it. You will definitely binge, but it's important to understand that they mentioned Steven Weber from Wings or the ABC TV movie adaptation of The Shining, starring Steven Weber from Wings, in every episode. That is not true, it is not every episode, and you're the one who brought it up today.
Starting point is 00:56:30 After a while you will find yourself awake at night, sweating, consumed by the question, why don't they just review the ABC TV movie adaptation of The Shining? I know, I know, I know. Starring Steven Weber from Wings. Listen, I have it on DVD. Alan says no. Has it really never occurred to them?
Starting point is 00:56:47 We've talked about it on the podcast that I don't want to do that movie, but I will. We've talked about it in like the last two weeks. Why are they doing this? End this excruciating tease. Just review the movie. Okay, I'm going to do it by myself. I'm going to do an episode that's just me. Oh, I'm watching.
Starting point is 00:57:05 If there's ever a reason that like you need to miss an episode, I'm going to do that one by myself. Okay. I'm going to be like, isn't that right Alan? That's right. Katie. As a boomer, I believe. That's mail back this week. That was really fun. Thank you so much for the good review and also the good advice.
Starting point is 00:57:29 Cause I agree. Also it's not every episode just because we have it, just cause we're selling his likeness. I watched the party down episode that he's in the other night and I was like, I can fucking love you Steven whatever. He's a delight. Really is. Do you follow him on Twitter? I do not.
Starting point is 00:57:49 He just, it's entirely like puns and dad jokes. What else would he be telling? I love him. He also like doesn't get very many likes or comments on them so I almost feel like I could get Steven Weber on the line, you know? But I also like kind of don't want to. You don't want to meet your heroes.
Starting point is 00:58:04 No. What if he meet your heroes? No. What if he was your hero? It's actually Brian from Wings is my hero. It's not necessarily Steven Webber. Katie. Alan. What are we doing next week? We are doing a much less fun movie.
Starting point is 00:58:16 Oh, you think? Yeah, you picked up. I know. We are doing an Australian ghost story called Lake Mungo. It's kind of a faux documentary rock block that we're doing. Yeah, you're right. If you go to watch this on Amazon, don't get fucking fooled because there's one that's prime
Starting point is 00:58:38 and one you have to rent. Oh wow. And the one that's prime looks like it's not the movie, it looks like it's a sequel or something. Something about it just made me think it wasn't the movie. So I rented it and paid for it. I know. And then when it ended, it was like,
Starting point is 00:58:50 maybe you'd like this movie. And it was the fucking Lake Mungo movie for free. And I was like, first of all, Bezos, like. Jeff. Jeffrey, go to your room. Second, like, don't rub it in my face. I made a mistake. Wow.
Starting point is 00:59:06 That's just rude. I know. All I do is make mistakes these days. Yeah. Come back for Lake Mungo. Also mentally prepare yourself for Lake Mungo. Way less fun. It's a bum out. I like that you were like, let's do Chad.
Starting point is 00:59:18 That'll be fun. Let's do Hope is Pocus. That'll be fun. Let's do Hell House LLC. That'll be fun. Let's be so sad. I have wanted to do Lake Mungo since we started the podcast and it just recently became like a freebie. So all right, we'll go watch our YouTube. We're teasing a sweepstakes. We'll tell you about it next week
Starting point is 00:59:36 and get us on the internet. Buy t-shirts, tpublic.com backslash user backslash world ambulance. Thank you to everyone who has done that.
