Everyone has a cake.
It's a cake.
Where did you get this cake?
Try an eagle.
There's only two of us.
What are we going to do with this cake?
I bought us a cake that says $100 on it.
That's amazing.
You actually bought us a cake that says $100 on it.
It's our 100th episode.
I have so many questions about this cake.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, go.
It's black and orange.
Yeah, for Halloween.
For Halloween, which is more than a month away. Yeah, it's our favorite
holiday though. Did you special order this or did they have it ready to go? It was ready to go.
With the balloons, black and orange balloons? Correct. And you just said, can you write 100 on
that? You got it. I was going to get them to write Stephen Kang rules, but there wasn't enough room.
They could have fit that if they tried. Well, do you have forks or what? Yeah, I do. Do you want cake right now?
Well, I thought you were going to make me look at a cake for...
Are they up here?
You could go to go downstairs.
Yes.
This is cool.
This is cool.
You even have plates.
I was just going to eat it right off the cake.
Because I'm a monster.
Keep talking.
I'm talking. I'm talking.
So a hundred, a century.
That's a century. Keep talking. I'm talking, I'm talking. So 100, a century, that's a century of,
of cakes.
We're all about the Benjamins.

What it does to your teeth.
Makes your poop green,

so no one can tell us what to do is basically what you're saying. Yeah, fuck you, I won't
do what you told me. I was just gonna say that. Of course you were. It's the only thing
that anyone can say after that. I don't know, I was gonna talk about a movie, but now I'd
rather talk about cake. It's a good cake. Way to go, giant eagle. Can you plug in that
blower sound again from the 52nd episode?ati, while we're opening things, we also got presents.
Oh, presents?
From a listener.
This feels like my fucking birthday.
It is your birthday, happy 100th.
My bones hurt.
What'd we get?
We got a present from our listener, Nix Muse.
Holy shit, look at these.
Look at them, we will post photos of these.
She handmade these. This is insane. Can you describe this with your words? Because I don't
have words for this. All right, so imagine if you will our logo with the werewolf head. Yes. Now take
that and put it on a little EMT's body. Yes. And that's what she's made. In the plush doll form.
In a plush doll form. With like a hard plastic eyes and nose. Yeah. And even has that weird eye. It has a wonky eye. It's amazing. And he's got the, what's this called?
The thing on the back? The doctor symbol? No, the hibiscus? The uh... Oh shit that sounded close.
What is it called? The menuscus? Menuscus, that's what it is. Also, this is amazing.
Nix, this is amazing.
Thank you again for these.
She made us a special bag with nicknames
that we gave ourselves like 50 episodes ago.
I forgot we gave ourselves nicknames.
That's further proof that giving yourself a nickname
means it doesn't stick.
Exactly.
No one has called me lefty or you stretch.
Are you lefty?
I did, yes.
Yes, but I'm not tall enough to be stretch.
Like five eight.
You're probably as stretched as that when you were.
Five eight is not great. I gotta be like six. But I'm not tall enough to be stretch. Like 5'8". You're probably as stretched as that when you were. 5'8' is not great.
I gotta be like six foot.
I'm still working on it.
So am I lefty and stretch?
Yeah.
Yeah, you're the tall one.
God damn it, what do I get to be?
Righty?
Cake eater.
Cakey.
Cakey.
Nick, these are incredible.
Yeah, this is amazing, thank you.
She makes these plush dolls.
They're called Zombe-ies. Zom-Mies.
I'm sorry.
I have a mouthful of cake at all times.
I know on Facebook she does Light of the Living Dead, where you can find these things on there,
and Zom-Mies.com.
I'll spell that.
Z-U-M-B-M-E-S.com.
They're amazing.
I can't believe how great this is.
It's hand stitched.
It's amazing.
Yeah, it is.
I mean, and like when we say that, like the individual like fur like definition is hand stitched in there and there's little functional pockets to hide your weed.
These are amazing. Thank you again, Nix.
Thank you.
Thank you everyone. Thanks everyone for all of your help and all of your support and all of your love and all of your kind words. And even all of your not so kind words
because we took those to heart too.
Probably harder than we took the kind words.
Oh yeah.
I definitely lost sleep over things.
Who needs it?
Yeah, thank you for listening for one episode
if this is the only one you've ever listened to.
Yeah, or just the episode
because everybody's listening to that episode.
Yeah. And for telling your friends and for buying stuff from Jason and Mike and Dylan
and buying t-shirts, rating us on iTunes and putting up with me.
Okay. I really appreciate that.
You're not eating yours. You gotta eat it.
I'm talking to a microphone.
Two things are not mutually exclusive. Hold on. You're not eating yours. You gotta eat it. I'm talking to a microphone. These two things are not mutually exclusive.
Hold on. You're right.
Enjoy. Live your life.
It's your goddamn show.
Guys, there's cake, there's presents, it's a birthday,
it's our 100th episode, and
we're about to talk about a fucking movie.
Not a movie. Not a movie.
A fucking lifestyle.
A masterpiece, if you will?
Here's the thing.
Yeah.
I have loved this movie since I was a small child.
What's the name of this movie?
Monster Squat.
Yeah.
Monster Squat.
Monster Squat is what it's called.
Since you were a little kid.
It has a 53% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Yeah, what the fuck Rotten Tomatoes?
I don't know, here's the thing.
Watching it critically, I was like, oh, this doesn't make any goddamn sense.
Yeah, but it makes sense from joy.
Yeah. It makes joy more than it makes sense.
This episode, 100 episodes in, I finally realized what you're doing,
which is like why you can't look beyond all the logistical errors of movies,
because I could not look beyond the logistical errors of this movie. Yeah.
I actually think like,
I'm surprised that Fred Decker didn't have more work after this Night of
the Creeps and RoboCop 3, Undercup.
And they were all critical failures and like box office failures.
This movie, Monster Squad was in the theater for two weeks.
Really?
Before it got pulled. How insane is that?
Like this movie that is like foundational for who I am today,
like was such a failure across the board, but like it's another testament to VHS culture. Yeah. like foundational for who I am today
was such a failure across the board.
And it's kind of difficult to find.
It's not on Amazon, it's not on Google Play.
I didn't legally download it because I had a DVD rip of 10 years ago and the, even the cover art was just like a photocopy of the color photocopy and it was
completely unwatchable. So I illegally, I illegally downloaded it,
which is not right. But we've driven you to, you know,
I haven't doing that since the beginning.
Remember when we streamed God monster of Indian flats? I do. I do.
Why did we do that? Oh, speaking of that just reminded me of something.
One more thing to celebrate before we get too far into this.
Our listener, Emily, sent us scatter graphs.
Yes.
Lists, charts.
Did you look at all that stuff?
I did. It's pretty insane.
You guys are gonna lose your goddamn eyes over this.
At least we did.
It's insane how much work she's done for something where I am literally talking about butts
most of the time.
I know.
How many times have I said dick, Emily?
Why didn't you count that?
Please don't.
That's a horrible thing to do.
How many times have I said I don't like myself?
Why isn't that in there?
Well, yeah, like I can't.
How many times have I said the phrase,
you know what I mean?
Because apparently I say that all the time.
I had no idea.
Right, right, right. Just like I fucking say right at the end of everything. I mean? Pertinent, maybe. Poignant, certainly not. But yeah, I wanted to make sure that we thanked Emily right at the top.
Yes, thank you. And you gave her a t-shirt, right?
Gave her a t-shirt.
Good. This is actually just a retrospective on old episodes that we're going to do.
We're not going to put in clips. We're just going to talk about jokes we made then.
What's a good episode? What's one that you like?
Coraline is my favorite episode that we've done.
Oh, it's so sad. You put that sad NPR music in there.
That's one where I listen to it afterwards and I was like, I don't always listen to them.
Sure.
Why would you?
I don't know.
Just to like feel bad about myself.
I do so that I can go back and go, what were you doing there when you were editing?
Come on, buddy.
I listened to that one and I was like, maybe you should start going to therapy every week
instead of every other.
My therapist then built another wing on his house,
put a swimming pool in, the Katie wing.
You could hear him bushing the gold shovel in
to announce the swimming pool.
Cut the ribbon for his family, you know.
We're glad Katie's so crazy.
Yay, daddy, thanks.
What's your favorite episode?
I don't know what I'm thinking about it.
Oh, geez.
Do you have one?
I don't know.
I think I'm going to go with Warlock.
Number one.
Oh, really? No one give it in there.
Yeah.
Because I wasn't as obnoxious yet.
I was like still restrained.
Now I'm just like almost stream of consciousness talking.
Do you know what I mean?
I do.
There, there, there it is.
But it's burning.
I feel like half of the time I'm just a tone poem that's just like, ba-di-ba-bo-di-bi-ba-di-ba,
like I'm not even making words anymore.
What do you mean?
You've got words.
You can use them.
The reason that God Monster reminded me of the scattergraph stuff that Emily did, thank
you again, Emily.
Thank you, Emily.
Is that I was looking back on that and I gave that a point five. Yeah. And after watching, I don't know, Ghost Ship. Yeah. And The Happening.
Yeah. Happening wasn't so bad. Let's be honest. And I know what you did last summer. No. I
was really hard on God Monster of Indian Flats. No. You know what though? It was like. It
was five episodes in. Close your eyes for a moment and think about God Monster of Indian Flats. Other than that monster with the weird neck. What do you even remember? It was five episodes in. Close your eyes for a moment and think about God Monster of Indian Flats.
Other than that monster with the weird neck, what do you even remember?
It was just like, do you remember it was just like a western town?
There was the black guy that came to town.
Yeah.
Oh, that's right.
That's right.
It was fraught with racism.
Those two guys I thought were going to kiss at one point and they didn't kiss.
What else?
There was a mad scientist.
I don't remember that.
Oh, the woman, the doctor, the woman, had the worst name.
I can't remember what it was.
They were in the room with the tanks that are all covered in trash bags.
Oh yeah.
You know what?
Maybe it was a good movie.
Sorry, Carrie.
Sorry we let you down on that one.
It's always going to be better than Ghost Ship.
I want to retroactively just make sure that I state that it's better than Ghost Ship.
Yeah.
That might be my least favorite movie we've done.
Was that the lowest rating you gave?
Was God Monster?
I think God Monster is my lowest other than just giving things zeros.
What did you give a zero to?
Oh, I'd have to consult the stratigraph.
Do it.
I gave a zero to Darkness Falls.
Oh, that was deserving.
Your rating was this movie is Curdled Eggnog.
Did I say that about Darkness Falls?
You did.
Cool.
That's funny.
Emily included notes about the ratings.
That's amazing.
I just skimmed it before I left work.
That's so good.
Yeah.
Darkness Falls might be the only one I gave a 0 to.
Yeah.
Other than not rating Queen of the Damned.
You also didn't rate Queen of the Damned?
No, neither of us did.
Did we just not do a ratings phase or did we refuse?
Like honestly, that was like four weeks ago and I can't remember.
I think we just refused because it was so fucking terrible.
Oh, but Aliyah.
Pay the Ghost does have my favorite, let's call this the berating phase
because I want to berate this movie.
You're a genius.
I said that? I said that.
You did.
Oh my God, I'm funny sometimes.
You're funny all the time.
I like the notes for Alucarda are just what, why?
That was an episode.
That was the episode that you said what, why
like 50 times in it.
Oh really?
That's also the episode where I told a story about Zoe,
the girl I knew in college who got hit by a bus.
Oh really?
Yeah, I like that one.
Mike Bullum told me it's good. It's not good Mike.
That's Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. Which you gave a 7.5. That's weird.
Sometimes I just don't know what I'm doing. I should also state that Emily
could just be doing revisionist history and changing all of her scores and
neither of us remember. Oh my god. I don't even remember what
happens in some of these movies. Katie. What happened in Slumber Party Massacre?
That's the one that takes place in the house and like the they're just the serial killer
just killing them off one by one.
He's the weird guy with the drill.
What about the Beyond?
What was that?
That's the Fulci Zombie basement, Louisiana.
Gone.
Was that recent?
Yeah.
With the spiders.
Spiders.
That ate the guy's eyeball and peeled his lips off.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I gotcha.
Now is when it's revealed that Katie doesn't actually watch any of these movies.
I just read the Wikipedia page and then make my mind up from that.
We did wax work?
Yeah.
Oh yeah, Billy from Gremlins.
Okay, all right, all right, listen.
Honestly, was the prophecy that Christopher Walken?
Okay, see, look, I remember.
I remember. I remember.
Someone just asked me the other day what the Jaws ripoff was.
My friend Christina.
I was like the last shark.
ILL ULTIMAL SQUALLO.
See, I remember.
Katie.
What?
What are the three movies that you've given tent?
Oh, um, clearly Child's Play 2.
Child's Play 2.
I'm going to guess Silence of the Lambs.
Uh-huh. Oh, God. The other one's a wild card. Something very stupid, I'm sure. Silence of the Lambs.
Oh God.
Something very stupid I'm sure.
No, not stupid.
Not The Shining.
We both gave it a 10.
We both gave it a 10.
We both gave it a 10.
We both gave it a 10.
We both gave it a 10.
We both gave it a 10.
I don't know.
You're gonna make me guess all of them?
No.
I'm making sure that, yeah, we both gave it a 10.
It's from 2015.
Oh, The Witch. Yeah. That was great. What else do we have? I'm making sure that that yeah, we both gave it a 10. It's from 2015.
Oh, The Witch.
Yeah.
That was great.
Yeah.
What else do we have?
From this, from the sky digger?
Yeah.
Did I say anything else funny?
Yeah.
I still think Carrie saying hand turkey is one of my favorite things ever.
I, you know what?
It's such a shame that that episode is so poorly downloaded because people
haven't seen the movie because Carrie was just like exceptionally funny.
Leprechaun on the Hood,
this movie is a bag of stems and seeds.
Oh, that's funny.
That I remember saying, which seems ironic.
Given my memory problems.
For Halloween three, no for demons I said
if I could do an 11, I would do an 11 for this movie.
Which one was demons?
That's the one with the motorcycle katana.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
How could I forget?
Here's the thing about the Italian movies.
I just don't remember what they're called.
They're all just that Italian movie to me.
This is pretty fantastic.
Yeah, it's amazing.
We will share this with you.
All right, I have some questions about Monster Squad.
You want to just get right into those?
I was planning on it.
All right.
Are you ready?
Yeah, I don't think we need to do a synopsis of Monster Squad.
No, let's address all of my questions one by one.
Yes, please. Where? into those. I was planning on it. All right. Are you ready? Yeah. I don't think we need to do a synopsis of monster squad. No,
let's address all of my questions one by one. Yes, please.
The scene that it opens on the like hundred years, they blew it. Sure.
You know, scene. Where is that taking place? Transylvania.
Why is there an armadillo? Because of the beginning of the beyond.
No, demons. The beginning of the 1935 or 36 Dracula, there's
an armadillo.
Why?
Because they wanted weird exotic animals.
They're just in Texas.
It's an armadillo.
Fine.
There's also a bee that comes out of a tiny coffin in the beginning of Dracula, which
is great.
I guess I've never seen it.
Or I've forgotten it, which is also just so plausible.
Yeah, the Todd Browning Dracula has a has an armadillo scrolling through it.
Okay, I got a little mad about the armadillo, but I didn't know him. Yeah, it's a reference. All right. Fine.
Should I go through all my questions? Yeah, please. Yeah. You were to get them right out of the way one by one.
Well, there's a lot of them. Okay, go on. I have answers. I'm wearing my Stephen King rules t-shirt. You are wearing the shirt.
I just want to know the backstory of those pilots and how they got that job. I love them. I love them. They're so funny. I'm going to imagine they flew in Vietnam together. Yeah. And then they were professional or like what's it called when you fly people?
Brian from wing. They were they were like airline pilots. Because they the guy said at least there's nobody to complain. No, I like that. We couldn't think of the name of a professional person who
flies people as airline pilot.
Sorry.
No, it's good.
We have a job about words.
Yeah.
So they were in NAMM together.
They flew for like Pan Am together.
They both used to bang stewardesses and stuff.
Cocaine, the cocaine years.
So many divorces have they gone through. Oh, yeah. Annul used to, you know, bang stewardesses and stuff. Oh my god, cocaine, the cocaine beers. So many divorces have they gone through.
Oh yeah, annulments really, probably.
And now they're kind of on hard times.
So they're doing this like courier thing.
Yeah.
And they're flying dead bodies.
Who helped them?
Like who, who, who commissioned this work?
Dracula.
So it's an office that has nighttime hours that Dracula can call in.
Because he doesn't have a Renfieldfield unless Renfield's back home.
Yeah. I don't know. No. Yeah. Okay. Where do I get a skull hood ornament for my Corolla?
You have to have a ghost car.
Shit. What about a milkshake car? It's still stiff. I don't know what to do.
I even use that upholstery cleaner you gave me. Didn't help.
Get it detailed. They might be able to get it out.
That's complicated.
Where do they live that that huge snake also lives there
in the swamp?
The swamps of Los Angeles?
Okay, great.
I don't know.
And they're like Spanish moss swamps.
Yeah, it's in New Orleans, but it isn't.
It was just spooky time swamps, it was great.
Okay, why does Creature not get any dew in this movie?
He's so good, and they use him not at all. Why does creature not get any do in this movie? He's so good and they use him not at all.
Why?
Um, because much like Aquaman, he's kind of crap on land.
He's like, if there's not a lot of them fucking around in the water where he'd
really be in his element.
Yeah, but he seems strong.
He's got those pecs and those abs.
Yeah.
And all he does is like roll around and get shot.
Yeah.
He looks great.
Oh man.
I love him. And he just does not get used enough.
I want to pod down from the questions right now
and just talk about Stan Winston's creature design in this.
They took the film to Universal and were like,
we'd like to do this.
And Universal was like, cool, cool, cool.
You can't do that with us.
We're not doing that.
So TriStar picked it up and they were like,
Universal's like, you can do it,
but they can't look like our Universal monsters.
Okay.
So they had to, like, change them enough.
Which is just barely, I would say, yeah.
But like, the Stan Winston spin on all of them,
I think is like, the mummy looks fucking amazing.
I love the mummy. I love the mummy.
The mummy getting unraveled is my favorite scene in the story.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
By far.
The Gill Man looks amazing. The werewolf is probably the weakest of them
just because he has like, he can't move his neck.
Yeah, well he's got those shoulders.
Yeah, I mean he's cool looking,
but like as far as like being able to do a thing.
Yeah.
Frankenstein's monster looks amazing,
or Frankenstein as he would be referred to here on out.
Dracula's great, one of my favorite Draculas.
Yeah, he's a great Dracula.
Yeah, so cool.
Potting back up to questions.
All right, if this Dracula is so smart and sophisticated as we've been led to
believe, why on earth would he send Frankenstein to do this bidding?
Frankenstein is clearly dumb as a bag of dirt. You know what I mean?
Oh man. Yeah. Tom Noonan. Noonan. Love him.
What are the werewolf rules in this movie?
Cause they make a big deal out of the rules,
the rules of monsters.
Full moon and all that.
Yeah, but he's a werewolf for like three days straight.
That's sort of the thing in all werewolf movies,
like that initial scene where like,
oh God, no, the moon,
and then for the rest of the movie they're a werewolf.
That really bothers me.
I gotta say, it really bothers me.
I mean, that was like the American werewolf in London.
We had the same issues with.
Why does the school have a bullet mold?
What is it of a smelting class? I mean I like the idea of using a shop class
to be able to make anything.
Fuck yeah.
They have a bullet mold.
Yeah, why wouldn't they?
Nine millimeter.
Just go ahead and make these.
I don't know.
Because the best montage song of all time
is playing while it's happening?
Yeah, that's the best. It's a great montage.
My favorite part, can I take it, that my favorite part of that montage is?
Sure. Hold on. I'm just going to drop in the montage song right here.
Okay. What's your favorite part of the montage? My favorite part is when it's coming out of the montage and Rudy does his second spit
take in 10 minutes.
Yeah, great.
And just as the line, party till you die, is playing. It's just absurd and wonderful.
How upsetting is the thing about dancing until your feet fall off?
I think I mentioned this in a previous episode. I don't know why we're talking about it, It's just absurd and wonderful. How upsetting is the thing about dancing until your feet fall off?
I think I mentioned this in a previous episode.
I don't know why we're talking about it,
but this used to be on my running mix
until it made me freak out once on a long run
where I was like, my heart is stopping.
My brains are falling out.
I can't fucking listen to this.
Yeah.
As long as I have to, it's prophecy.
Prophecy with Christopher Walken.
I saw that.
And that lady, uh,
who's in all the movies, Virginia, slims, Madsen,
she's never not inappropriately dressed. She was in that movie.
Yeah. She was ridiculous.
Why does cop dad drive directly into those headlights for the car to go through
them? Why does he not swerve?
Where does Dracula get dynamite? From the back of the car to go through him. Why does he not swerve? I don't know. Okay. Oh, God.
Where does Dracula get dynamite?
From the back of the car.
What?
You got it from the back of the car.
That's where it was.
I see.
Why does Rudy have no qualms about stabbing people?
He just does not care.
Do you think it's the fingerless gloves?
One of my notes is that Rudy's going to have to go through a lot of therapy after this
is done because he murdered a bunch of people.
Yeah.
I definitely had a thing for Rudy as a kid.
Oh, yeah. Who didn't? Yeah.
It's fantastic. Yeah.
I mean, thing either want to smooch him or be him.
Like, I think that's where you come down and maybe both.
Smoking cigarettes.
Yeah. And he's a pervert.
And is mean to a wainer.
Wainer? Yeah, from Wanderers.
Oh, E.J. Jason Hervey.
Fucking E.J. Yeah. Worse kid. I want to pod back down real quick and talk about EJ if I can.
Yeah, I think I'm done with questions.
So this is really early on.
We meet Horace.
And Horace is also affectionately known as Fat Kid.
There's a few problematic things that we should talk about at some point during this.
Calling a five-year-old girl a bitch?
Not great.
Not great, guys.
The repeated use of faggot over and over.
Oh, it's 1987. What are you gonna do?
It's a bummer.
It's just all a bummer.
Horace has an altercation with E.J.,
who is picking on Horace because he's fat,
steps on his Snickers bar, tries to make him eat it.
That made me really sad.
Oh, yeah.
Deep in my heart.
Yeah, it hit home a lot because when this movie came out,
I was 13, so I'm just about the age of these kids.
Yeah.
I got like a bully to fair amount.
I was the fat kid in school.
So like Horace was just like, that's my motherfucking jam right there.
Yeah.
So I just want to, if I could slip back into this for a second.
Kids.
If you're getting bullied right now,
just know in your heart that later on you'll be able to go on Facebook and look at where those bullies are now.
Oh my God.
They can go fuck themselves because they already did. They're fucked. And you're doing great.
Yeah.
So take it from a 42 year old. It gets better.
You know what's nice about that is I was a very ugly child.
You said, yeah.
I had to grow into this nose. I find it hard to believe
I will show you vote. I was fucked like really I look like I looked mangled
It's true. I mean I and I just grew into my nose. I figured out of my hair
Yeah, yeah, yeah got to live with it these eyebrows if it was a lot of work. You grew into it beautifully. Thank you
I feel okay. I feel like I'm a solid Pittsburgh eight, which is like an everywhere else six.
And that's fine with me.
I disagree, but go on.
I have so many other things to say.
What's really great is going on Facebook and seeing how ugly the people who made fun of
you are now.
They were only hot then.
They were only hot then.
Yeah.
We get to grow into this and be amazing as like. I'm only gonna get better until probably about 35
and then I expect to go downhill.
I grew into an awesome gray beard.
Yeah, that's a good beard.
And I looked tight with it.
It's a good beard.
Yeah, so fuck it man, it gets better.
Fuck those people who pick on you.
I'm so sorry you're going through it right now.
It's gonna get better.
They're not listening to this.
They aren't listening, are they?
No, but maybe in 10 years they're gonna get to it
and go, oh, you, yeah, you're right.
You're right. So it's really just this is just validation for us.
This is just me trying to make myself feel better. Yeah. I'm the kid.
I'm the kid I'm talking to.
This is a weird episode we're doing here. We're having a weird time.
This is a high high for us, but also a little bit of a low low. So we have to temper these things.
You know, you can't let the eggs scramble.
So Rudy shows up on his bike, slides in sideways, lights a cigarette off his fucking panty loafer.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
Why is he dressed like a greaser?
Why is he wearing fingerless gloves?
The entire movie.
Because in 1987 also wore fingerless gloves at that point in time.
Weird.
Yeah. And Molly Crew was at the fucking top of the pops.
Alright, that's true.
That's true.
Top of the pops, indeed.
I like how they're drawing those monster pictures.
Yeah, Spider with Human Head.
For a monster enthusiast, Spider with Human Head is not very good.
It's not very good.
It's like they ran out of ideas.
Also you just reminded me that the cat-headed teacher that they're making fun of looks awesome.
Yeah, her hair is great.
She is great.
I would totally rock that look if I were a lady.
It's a lot of work.
I feel a lot of work to get it so smooth.
Yeah.
So I'm just going to, hey, teachers who look like you have cat heads, don't worry about
those kids.
It gets better.
It gets better.
You're doing great.
You know you're doing great. Fuck those kids.
Kids are the worst.
Remember how we were just talking to the kids?
Now we're talking about them.
They're the worst.
The worst.
This movie also features a very sad moment with Scary German Guy and the Nazi tattoo.
Why did they have to do that?
I mean, I get it, but like, Christ almighty.
That's one thing I love about this movie is that there's so much emotion in this movie.
Like in a really, like Missy A was making fun of me
because I like the entire time watching it
I'm just smiling.
Oh, I was gonna, I thought you were gonna be sobbing.
No, no, I'm just like ear to ear,
like just grinning watching this movie
because it makes me so happy.
And then there's like parts that I'm glad she wasn't there
when this happened because the part when Sean and his dad are on the roof
watching the horror movie makes me tear up every fucking time.
Like, yeah.
Oh, God damn it.
To have that relationship is so wonderful.
Like, there's so like there's that sort of like aspirational beauty to it.
Yeah. Yeah.
And then the scary German guy.
They're like, you sure do know a lot about monsters.
Yeah. I guess I do. And then they scary German guy, they're like, you sure do know a lot about monsters. Yeah. I guess I do.
And then they show the tattoo.
The tattoo.
Like it's just, it's so out of the blue
from this funny scene of them eating pie
and like falling in love with scary German guy.
Yeah.
And then all of a sudden it's like,
oh, he was in a fucking concentration camp.
Like, my God, what are you, you can't just do this to me.
Like I have PMS already and like, I can't.
And then at the end when Phoebe throws scraps to Frankenstein.
Yeah.
So let's talk about Phoebe and Frankenstein's relationship.
So it's the redemption of Frankenstein.
Yeah.
Because in the original Frankenstein,
he throws a little girl into the lake.
She falls.
She slips.
Sure.
So they show you, but like, set up that scene where Frankenstein approaches her, she's sitting
by this lake or this pond.
Sure, there's a pond there.
It's near the swamp.
Instead of killing her, he becomes her bestie.
Yeah, it's adorable.
And they hold hands the whole time.
She teaches him how to say bogus.
Bogus.
It's pretty good.
I know.
God damn it. It's pretty good. I know. God damn it.
It's so heartwarming.
I wanted them to befriend all of the monsters.
Yeah, what if they were just keeping Gillman in that lake?
Yeah, feeding him Twinkies.
Eugene.
I love Eugene.
Eugene is, I never noticed this before, but in the scene where they're in the house on
Shadowbrook Lane. Yeah, 6 six, six shadow Brooklyn. Sure. Um,
you know, they're all like screaming cause they're on all sides.
The monsters are on all sides of them. If you look at Eugene,
he's just going like this. Uh, he's doing the home alone, but he's just like,
he's not, his face is not moving except his mouth is open.
Do you know what I mean? Like worst screamer,
Eugene and his dad and the closet.
His dad's amazing.
Yeah. I was like...
Also, why is his dad such a guido?
Eugene has red hair.
I always thought his dad should be Gilbert Gottfried.
Yeah, he does seem like it. He does.
But fucking the scene where his dad's like,
oh no, all right, everybody out.
That also gives me like, oh, that's so sweet.
Yeah.
That he would do that.
And then he opens the closet, but doesn't look inside.
And fucking mummy's in there. Just re-kidding his hand sweet. Yeah. That he would do that. And then he opens the closet, but doesn't look inside and fucking mummy's in there.
Just re-kid his hand out.
Yeah.
And then he moves the fastest he moves the entire movie
to get out the window.
Yeah.
Yeah, otherwise he's pretty much dragging.
Yeah.
I mean, in the grand scheme, mummy,
the least scary of all the monsters.
Strongly disagree.
Really?
Mummies are terrifying, you know why?
Go.
Cause they're real.
They're a real thing. No, I'm telling you.
I mean, but then are real Dracula's probably not real.
Gilman might be, but they're really deep in the ocean. You know what I mean?
Like mummies are fucking real. I saw them. I see them. I see them.
Not right now, but they're never moving. And if they are,
we all know that we can get away from them. They're a real thing. Sure.
I don't understand what you don't understand about this.
Because they're real to an extent.
They stop being the real, they stop being mummy mummies.
They are real, 100% real.
No, I don't, this is not, I'm really not understanding.
Because they're not picking up and move around.
Then you should be terrified of skeletons too,
because they're inside of us.
Yeah. They're're inside of us.
They're literally inside of us.
Yeah, I'm in a room with two of them.
And you don't think that's scary?
You don't think this is the thing I worry about?
Have you ever seen your own skeleton?
No, I have not.
Cool. Have you?
I broke my arm and the bone.
It didn't break the skin, but it poked up all jagged through my skin.
Like not through it, but I could see it and touch it.
So gross.
Yeah, it was super gross.
I think then I went into shock.
Yeah.
Is Sean a sociopath?
He might be.
He's really mean to everybody.
And then when Frankenstein dies,
he's like, well, he died saving us.
Bye, like does not care.
No remorse, no feeling.
His treatment of Phoebe. Well, that's pretty realistic. Yeah, yeah, yeah remorse, no feeling. His treatment of Phoebe.
Well, that's pretty realistic.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, for sure.
Like a lot of like the kids' interactions
and oh, that jazz is very realistic in this movie.
Yeah.
Even for like, you know,
the dialogue is pretty spot on for 1986 or 87, like.
Don't be chicken shit.
That's the best line in the movie though.
Man, I love, I'm like, when I was a kid,
I was definitely team Rudy all the way.
And I feel like now as an old man,
I'm fucking team Phoebe all the way.
I was like, she's the best.
If I had a child, I would legit name her Phoebe.
And then I'd call her Phoebe the Phoebe
and ruin her life.
No girls allowed.
Parents.
Don't belittle your children. Oh my God. Please don't. Parents. Don't belittle your children.
Oh my god.
Please don't.
No.
I'm still going to do that though.
Can we talk about the murder of the only person of color in this movie?
Sure, who's amazing.
Amazing and like, they're like not at all concerned about it.
His partner...
It doesn't hit like it's good.
Yeah, well move on.
I guess, well I guess we're all safe.
Like that's literally how they ended. I found that to be very disappointing.
He's got some of the best like comedic dialogue in the movie.
He's very funny. Just keeps saying I'm a great cop.
Like just keeps going back to that and like, but he gets fucking blown up.
Why can't he get out of the car?
He's just pulling on the door handle like a child. You're, you're, you out of the car?
And she's great. She is in a really hard place in this relationship.
And like that comes across.
She's like for a limited amount of screen time,
she really gets that across while she's in the film.
Yeah. Here's a question.
Why did she let Phoebe get in the car with Scary German Guy late at night?
That's a five year old.
Why is she not watching her five year old?
He survived the Holocaust.
I understand that.
But I just don't see that happening.
Like put yourself in her shoes and this guy comes over to your house and he's
like, I'm going to take Phoebe. You'd be like, boop, boop, boop, nine one one.
What are you doing? You know?
Yeah, you're right. This movie doesn't make like sense, but it's beautiful.
And it's like, like I said before, it's just joy.
Like, here's another thing that doesn't make any sense.
They're, they're like, we got to go somewhere where there are a lot of people.
Church. Oh, sure. There's always people at church. They go, there's, oh, there's a church
in the town square. It's, there's nobody there. They had just left that burger place, which
was full of people. Why did they not do it there?
Religion is on the wane in America.
Yeah. And burgers is on the wane in America. Yeah.
And burgers probably on the rise.
So, yeah.
You know, like those roller skating burger places that they had in the 80s.
I've espoused my theory. I think I did during the Fright Night episode that this town is the same town that Fright Night and the Burbs take place in.
Yeah, I think it seems legit.
I want that to be true.
Are there swamps in those movies? Could be. Yeah, sure. You just didn't go to them? Yeah, I think it seems legit. I want that to be true. Are there swamps in those movies?
Could be, you just didn't go to them.
Yeah, might be.
In Fright Night, there's just that weird downtown scene
that they're walking to from their totally suburban homes.
And then they walk in and out, don't they?
No, they don't.
What a weird place.
Yeah, would like to live there.
Chris and Rand is there. They do have a Burger King. I wish we had a weird place. Yeah, would like to live there. Chris and Randall's there.
They do have a Burger King.
I wish we had a Burger King.
In Monster Squad, yeah.
A lot of product placement for Burger King.
A prominent bag.
Do you?
And then eating at a Burger King in a hundred years.
They have veggie burgers, you can eat that.
Oh, I have eaten them on the turnpike.
I sometimes think about getting on the turnpike just so I can go to Burger King. They're just not
in the Pittsburgh area there's one in Southside but it's super gross. Yeah guys hot tip.
Whopper Jr. way better than the Whopper. It's just a better ratio get two Whopper Juniors.
It's cheaper than the Whopper I think and it's more calorically valuable to you. We're full of
advice today and you know what 100 episodes in we should be. We should be. We should full of advice today. And you know what? 100 episodes in, we should be.
We should be. We should be. Let's talk about Dracula's cane. You had questions about his
automobile with the skull, and where all the dynamite came from. The fact that his cane
that's perfectly set up to attract lightning and rev up Frankenstein. Yeah. Is that how
he shoots scary German guy later too, or does he do that with his hand? Because he like laser beams him at the end when he's doing the each-vish-nouche part.
Yeah.
He just fucking whoops him.
He does it with the amulet.
No, he's holding the amulet.
The Scary German Guy is holding the amulet.
I thought the Dracula headed it that way.
Or maybe Phoebe is holding it.
Okay.
Yeah.
I don't know how he does that.
Because then he picks up Phoebe.
Yeah. I've got to go watch the movie. I'll be right back. Yeah. I don't know how he does that. Yeah. Because then he picks up Phoebe. Yeah. I got to go watch the movie. I'll be right back.
Bye.
Do you know that Alucard is Dracula spelled backwards?
Yeah. Remember we got into that argument about Alucarda?
Which you can go back while listening to episode whatever.
Nine?
Why did we came out swinging?
Yeah.
Without warning Warlock Alucarda.
Why did you pick without warning?
I got to ask you.
98 episodes later.
Uh, cause it sounded so fucking ridiculous.
And I like the flying egg like things that were being thrown around.
I knew we could have fun with it.
And we did.
No wonder we got up to such a slow start.
Those episodes are still not downloaded.
No, I know.
Warlock did okay.
Without warning, not so much.
I think next I pick Stitches, maybe.
You shouldn't have let me do that.
You were like, you pick.
And I was like, what's stupid?
Yeah, I think that's how we were approaching it
in the beginning, like what's going to be dumb and funny
to talk about.
Well, now we're like, well, people like.
What will they like?
Do you guys like us?
They do like us.
Really?
Yeah.
Weird.
We have fans.
We have fan art.
I know.
You guys are so fun.
I think then we did Nightmare on Elm Street because we were like, God, we got to get people
to listen to us.
Let's get into something not so funny.
Oh, why would we do that?
This is our comedy podcast.
Let's talk about how you shouldn't be a Rudy.
Why?
He's so smokin' sweet. Don't take nude photographs of the neighbor.
Well, don't take your shirt off in front of the window.
Oh, come on.
She's on the second floor of her house facing a swamp.
You don't know she's facing the swamp.
I'm sorry, if your little brother has a clubhouse
and is right outside your bedroom window
and you know they're up there all the time,
stop showing him your tits.
She did seem dumb as a stump.
Dumb as a stump.
Although I do like the line at the end where she's like,
well Steve, but he doesn't count.
Yeah.
It's just so like, I know exactly what you mean.
Yeah.
But yeah.
Also she's like 26 years old, right?
Yeah.
But yeah, don't take naked pictures of people
and then bully them with them later.
Just as a, I mean, I realized it was the 80s
and that's what everybody was doing.
Like taking nude pictures and bullying. That's what they're doing now. Haven't you heard of cyber bullying? I a, I mean, I realized it was the eighties and that's what everybody was doing. Like, go take nude pictures and that's what they're doing now.
I haven't heard of cyberbullying. I know, I know, I know. But like when I like revisiting
things like Revenge of the Nerds, you're just like, yo, this movie is hella rapey. Like,
oh, yeah, just like super disturbing that weren't then. Well, I think that's what the
Republicans want to go back to. Right. They want to make America gross again. Yeah. Don't be a gross Rudy.
No.
I mean, you can be a regular cool Rudy.
Yes, smoke your cigarettes.
Smoke your cigarettes.
No, actually, I think that was one of our advices in the Coraline episode was don't
smoke your cigarettes.
No, it wasn't because we had a debate about it because you kept telling me to smoke and
I kept telling you not to.
I didn't say to smoke.
I said, like, that's how you meet people.
It's a great way to meet people.
Can we talk about how the dad is a poor man's Dustin Hoffman?
Oh, you think?
Oh, yeah.
He's like a destitute man's Dustin Hoffman.
Shit.
This is way down there.
But yeah, for sure.
Yeah, there's that vibe that you pointed out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I love him.
I love his son.
I love you.
Put your basic lid on it.
But it's such a dad thing to say.
Is it? I don't know.
It's such a dad thing.
He's also like kind of a dick though.
Like he gets a call about the werewolf and he's leaving.
He's like literally not going to say goodbye to his wife who's setting the table.
He wasn't even going to tell her he was leaving.
And then he gets so mad at her for getting upset.
Like of course she's upset.
You were sneaking out of the house.
He's married to his job. Not to his wife, who he's actually married to. It sucks.
Yeah, I guess so. I'm like super married to my job too, so I understand.
Oh yeah.
My job and I, it's complicated.
Yeah.
Let's talk about the Wolfman. Okay.
So the Wolfman gets one of the best lines from the movie,
but he doesn't actually get to deliver it. He just gets kicked in the nards.
How many, how many times have you heard that line referenced in your life?
The Wolfman's got a thousand,
which is so weird that this movie is like difficult to find when so many people
love it. And you know, I think that's all right stuff.
I think that's all like the, like because it didn't do well,
like it just kind of went into like a weird limbo.
Cause I know like Night of the Creeps.
Like a limbo that you throw a thing and then it.
I was Van Helsing in the limbo.
Cause he got sucked in the limbo in Transylvania.
Then he was just waiting.
And then he came out and gave thumbs up.
Did they give thumbs ups back then?
Van Helsing did.
Maybe he'd been paying attention to popular culture this entire time.
Limbo's rough.
A hundred years ago.
Yeah.
So he gets kicked in the nards.
Wolfman's got nards.
Wolfman's got nards.
I feel like you have to say it like that.
And he's the saddest character in the movie.
Yeah, his death is particularly sad.
But also great because he gets release. Full release. Yeah, but saying thank you to some,
mm.
Sorry.
Saying thank you to someone for killing you is fucking rough.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, like him and Frankenstein.
That's one of those moments where you're like,
what? Jesus Christ.
God, yeah.
Yeah, I can't remember who it was on our Instagram
that said he just showed this movie to his kids
and I was like, oh, that's cool.
God, there's some fucking brutal things in here for kids.
Like being grateful for the release of death.
That's so heavy.
Old man and the Wolfman.
But I guess Wolfman in the sea would have worked out better.
You can take another take of that if you want.
I like old man and the Wolfman.
At least you didn't go for the obvious. Which one's that?
Wolf man in the sea.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
My brain doesn't work with the obvious.
The wolf also rises.
I don't know.
It's not great.
Oh, I was going to say I'd like to talk about Horace now.
Again, revisiting Horace.
Are you mad about the pizza in his pocket?
Yes, because fat kids don't just walk around with pizza in their pocket.
Though a lot of the times I wish I did have pizza in my pocket.
Like do you not think that they carry snacks?
I mean I have snacks on my person at all times.
Full slices of pizza in aluminum foil.
Not that weird to me.
I guess it's not that weird to me, but I don't know.
But the reason I wanted to talk about Horace is another rest in peace.
Is he dead?
He's dead.
Shit.
You know, for the longest time I was convinced he was Chunk from the Goonies also.
He's not.
He's not, no.
His name is Brent Chalem and he was Horace and he died of pneumonia at age 22.
Jesus Christ.
Do you have AIDS or something?
I don't know.
It doesn't say.
I mean most 22 year olds can't die of pneumonia.
So I think he had some problems with addiction and stuff.
It's a bummer because he is fucking great in this movie.
Like all the kids are so charismatic.
They're so wonderful and ridiculous.
And yeah, they're great.
They do exactly what they need to do to be in this movie.
I've often debated getting a Horace tattoo.
What would you describe this to me?
In your mind's eye, what do you see?
It's Horace holding the shotgun and it just says,
my name is Horace. Oh, you'd have shotgun and it just says, my name is Horace.
Oh, you'd have the line.
Oh yeah. My name is Horace because my name is also Horace. It's not really,
but like I get the vibe. I get what he's throwing down there.
It's sort of like a J.Sui Horace.
My name is not fat kid. No. Yeah. Well, no one's name is fat kid.
But if I walk through, I don't think the county would let you do that.
With a tattoo that said, my name is Allen, it'd be a little weird.
I think you should get a tattoo of you holding the shotgun and say,
my name is Allen. I kind of like that better.
It's like a little more self actualizing. Do you know what I mean?
Do you know what I mean? See, here we go. Do you know what I mean?
It would be very Steve-O of me to get a tattoo of myself.
Oh God. All right. I mean, what else are be very Steve-O of me to get a tattoo of myself. Oh, God.
What else are we missing?
What else we need to get into here?
I mean, we're missing a lot of things,
but it's kind of like, I don't know, what do you even say?
Oh, that's a different movie.
Give me the amulet, you bitch.
I hate that.
To a five-year-old.
I hate that.
Yeah, it's a bummer.
It's like, it's just-
It's like, why did you even write that though?
You know what I mean?
One thing I like is that,
so Tom Noonan and the guy who played Dracula.
Can you ever say the name Noonan
without wanting to go, Noonan, Noonan?
No, of course not.
Because I love Caddyshack so much,
because I'm your dad.
I really want to do another movie
that Tom Noonan is in called House of the Devil.
It's done by the director, director Ty West.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I saw that. I didn't realize Tom Noonan was in it. Yeah, he's the old guy. Oh director Ty West. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, I saw that.
I didn't realize Tom Noonan was in it.
Yeah, he's the old guy.
Oh, Ty West is from your area.
I think.
Yeah, I think he's from Delaware.
Yeah.
Or Westchester, PA.
Both of the things, I think. Yeah.
But I really enjoyed.
There's a short you can find on YouTube called They're Made of Meat,
which is really fun.
And like, it's not at all gross.
It's just like Tom Noonan talking to another dude about human, how human beings are made out of meat. How we're all just meat bags. Yeah, it's really fun. And like, it's not at all gross. It's just like Tom Noonan talking to another dude
about how human beings are made out of meat.
How we're all just meat bags.
Yeah, it's really funny.
But...
Oh, so Tom Noonan and the guy who played Dracula,
they interacted with the kids in makeup,
and they didn't, like, they weren't kind to them.
For, like, until Tom Noonan and Phoebe started being friends and then he was kind to her.
So before that on the set he wasn't, but Dracula was never nice to them.
And so...
It's kind of messed up.
Yeah, it's really, yeah, you don't need to get method with children.
No, yeah, they're just, they're literal babies.
So the thing where he picks Phoebe up by the chin and says that, that line to her,
he had not shown, she had not seen him up until that point
with the fangs and the red lenses in.
So her reaction is her actually...
She's literally a baby.
I mean, she's literally a baby.
Yeah.
And a great actress for a little lady child.
Yeah, super cute.
Yeah.
You know, Phoebe.
Yeah, she's great.
But like, I just like that, like that was her honest, like it's so like,
like William Friedkin and the actress is like, I just need this to be real.
And you're like, monster movies.
Like the stomach bursting scene in alien. Yeah.
Well, they didn't. Yeah. I almost revisited what happened there.
We have an entire episode where we talk about that.
I like that this movie is giving us so many leeways into old episodes.
That was really smart of you to pick this one. I'm being sincere.
Also, OK, so let's talk about the song that's
on the soundtrack, Werewolf Ambulance.
Isn't that a song on the soundtrack?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's where we got our name from.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I understand that name.
Even though it's in a werewolf corner van,
it's not an ambulance that he's being driven in.
That's true.
Also, there's no song in that scene, is there?
There's music.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Isn't he just listening to headphones? No, there's like little like that scene, is there? There's music, yeah, yeah, yeah. Isn't he just listening to headphones?
No, there's like little like orchestral music
in like, in the background.
Yeah.
I was watching this movie, I still missed it.
Also, are we gonna change our name to Werewolf Corner Van?
Cause it doesn't have the same ringtone.
No, I think Werewolf Amulance is what we're stuck with.
But I do like-
Cause we got all those URLs.
How long into us doing the podcast was it before you knew
that if we were named after-
It happened live. I don't know which episode it's in, but it happens live. How long into us doing the podcast was it before you knew that if we were named after a sponsor?
It happened live.
I don't know which episode it's in, but it happens live.
That's so funny.
Why would I know?
I thought I had told you.
Alan, I don't even remember some of these movies.
It's super bad.
I got to like get some memory enhancers.
Ginkgo biloba.
Start doing a crossword every day.
Ginkgo?
Will that help? Yeah, supposedly. I'm try it, I'm willing to try anything.
Just at the beginning I was like trying to figure out
what we should call this nonsense.
You were like, how about werewolf ambulance?
And I was like, fine.
Sounds good.
I had all these like,
like I wanted to call it release the bats and all these like.
I'm really glad it's not called release the bats.
I have to be honest with you,
I think I would be out on that.
There were all these like more serious names
that I came up with,
that I was like, what about werewolf ambulance?
And we were both like, yeah.
I honestly don't remember being given any other options.
Oh yeah. I sent you a list. Really?
I have it somewhere on a sheet of paper that I...
I'll look for it, but I don't remember receiving that.
That was also like two years ago. So it's like, it's like it never happened.
As my brain resets every 18 months.
I have to relearn how to drive a car once every year and a half.
It's disgusting.
I'm sorry, everyone.
Katie.
Yeah.
I have a question for you.
Yeah.

Yeah.
Yeah.
You?
12.
Cool.
10. Yeah. I mean, this is...
No, you stick with 12.
Don't undercut it.
I understand that this movie has faults, but I forgive...
A lot of them.
Like a best friend, I forgive all of them.
I will take this movie for what it is, faults and all.
I love you, Monster Squad.
Yeah, it's great.
I want a Monster Squad in my own life.
Is that what we're doing here, kind of?
A little bit.
I actually... When I was getting maudlin' earlier, I was thinking that like, you Is that what we're doing here kind of a little bit? I actually, when I was getting maudlin earlier,
I was thinking that like, you know,
what we're doing is like creating our own little monster
squad of like people who listen to us and you and I,
and people who are guests.
And, but like there's no,
you don't have to pass a monster test because-
I was just thinking we should be giving them a test.
Just coming in and we're not going to call you any degrading names and we're not going to like- I sometimes do. Pass a monster test.
cake as we do this. Holy shit, you did it. What are we grateful for? I forget already.

we're hungry. The aquarium is amazing. It's a monthly subscription box that you can sign up for and when you get it, you will
understand but it's full of amazing handmade stuff by Jason.
He sculpts it, he casts it, he paints it, he puts those little hangers on the back.

And then he puts it in bags, puts it in a box, puts some fucking crepe paper on that
shit and sends it to you.
Usually with candy.

What happened?
I'm out.
What's wrong with the shizzles?

Ask 2003.
That's not even right.

I broke you.
You know, it had to happen at some point.
It was when you said wickingpedia recently,
that was like the straw that dented the camel's back.
And then the joke that I tacked on
at the end of the last episode.
I loved that.
I love that joke, yeah.
