• 0:25
  movie rightfully has its fan base.

  Even if we don't always get it. My name is Travis.
• 0:30
  My name is Jesse. And welcome to Prom Month part
• 0:33
  three. Yes, episode 3, because this is
• 0:36
  the third one and it's also the third episode of Prom Month.
• 0:39
  Yeah, we got all here to that. Yeah.
• 0:41
  And we have a fun one. I think this week for you guys,
• 0:45
  we are talking Night of the Creeps.
• 0:48
  But before we get into the nitty gritty, the good stuff, we have
• 0:54
  announcements. Actually we do oh OK this Sunday
• 0:58
  and I understand that it's confusing from our schedule
• 1:00
  because I I oopsied. Oh yeah, yeah, this the calendar
• 1:04
  is a little. Bit the 18th is to be or not to
• 1:07
  be, so that's happening. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:10
  It's you know it, it's clear, but it's also not clear if you
• 1:13
  look at the schedule that we posted.
• 1:15
  Yeah, it was out of order and I everything looked so good and it
• 1:19
  was just we, we pivoted, we worked with it.
• 1:22
  It's. Fine, it's good.
• 1:23
  But now you know. You've heard it on here.
• 1:24
  Now it's you. It's Sunday.
• 1:26
  It will be Jesse's pick. Yeah.
• 1:29
  Look at everybody. Well, you know it won't be
• 1:32
  detention. That's true, I still have no
• 1:34
  memory. Of having watched that movie
• 1:36
  before but. OK, well I don't have polls
• 1:40
  because I forgot to do a poll yesterday.
• 1:42
  I haven't gave you a poll. Idea you did, Yeah.
• 1:44
  And I just forgot to do it. We got we got caught up and we
• 1:49
  had a very busy yesterday and then to cap it all off, we
• 1:53
  watched Anaconda. And then if I'm going to do
• 1:56
  that, I'm not going to remember anything else.
• 1:58
  Yeah, that's super. Seated everything.
• 2:01
  I think I set you up for the exact right mindset to go into
• 2:03
  that movie with. You did, but it didn't really
• 2:06
  help with getting polls done. So that's just not a thing that
• 2:10
  happened this week. I'm sorry everybody, but that's
• 2:13
  OK, guys. We got movie.
• 2:16
  We got movie to talk. About movie.
• 2:18
  We got. We're going to talk about a
• 2:19
  movie on this Movie Discussion podcast.
• 2:21
  Yeah, it's brave. It's never been done before, but
• 2:25
  I thought we would go out on a leap today.
• 2:27
  OK. Yeah.
• 2:28
  OK. So go out on a leap.
• 2:29
  Yeah. Night on, Night on the creeps.
• 2:32
  Night on the creeps. We're talking Night of the
• 2:34
  Creeps. OK so this movie released August
• 2:38
  22nd 1986. We watched it on our Blu-ray and
• 2:43
  if you want to watch it you might have to do the same unless
• 2:46
  you feel comfortable renting because it's not streaming
• 2:49
  anywhere right now. But you can rent it on Apple,
• 2:52
  YouTube, Amazon or Fandango Home for 399.
• 2:55
  This seems like one of the weird ones that we would find in the
• 2:58
  DVD section at Northside Library.
• 3:00
  Yeah, see. They have a They have an odd
• 3:03
  selection of movies. Yeah, they in a good way.
• 3:06
  And you'll probably find this one on like some kind of bin at
• 3:08
  Walmart or something like I got us the oldest Blu-ray that was
• 3:12
  made, which was the Sony 1 from 2009.
• 3:16
  It's the same print as the one that scream factory did.
• 3:19
  So don't feel bad if you cheap out on this one because you're
• 3:22
  getting pretty much the same product and.
• 3:23
  It's it's a decent product too, yeah.
• 3:25
  It is only like $9. So, you know, if you want to do
• 3:28
  that, that's that's an option out there.
• 3:29
  All right. Written by Fred Decker, directed
• 3:32
  by Fred Decker, music by Barry Dvorisen and special effects
• 3:35
  makeup by David B Miller. Who his own for Nightmare on Elm
• 3:40
  Street, and he had a little help from a Mr. Burger, Howard Burger
• 3:47
  and a Mr. Kurtzman. The the B and the K Yeah, in K&B
• 3:53
  effects. I know it's not his fault and
• 3:56
  it's his name, but every time I hear a burger my brain just like
• 3:59
  pictures. Burgie.
• 4:02
  I think it was a Hamburglar. I'm sure he's happy to hear
• 4:06
  about this. It's not like this is a body of
• 4:07
  work that. We think of.
• 4:08
  It's just too. Cool.
• 4:10
  Different burger related things, all right.
• 4:13
  Starring Jason Lively as Chris, Steve Marshall as JC, Jill
• 4:18
  Whitlow as Cindy and Tom Atkins as Ray Cameron.
• 4:21
  And how? Yep, so grab your 6 packs
• 4:24
  people, because it's. Teenagers, am I right?
• 4:27
  Yeah. Spanky, am I right?
• 4:31
  All right, time for your favorite game on the show.
• 4:33
  Budget or budgeted? OK, by the way, if you if you
• 4:41
  hear a little Jingle and I made us some iced coffee before we
• 4:43
  started recording, so. If you hear a little Groovin,
• 4:45
  it's because we relocated our record player and left on Elton
• 4:50
  John's greatest hits volume to for the pets.
• 4:52
  We did. I tried to account for that for
• 4:53
  the noise reduction though. So if you are hearing it, I
• 4:55
  failed. Yeah, yeah.
• 4:57
  We'll find out soon enough. OK, so I feel like Tom Atkins do
• 5:04
  come cheap. Do he?
• 5:07
  He do do he, he do he's. A He's a commodity in this type
• 5:11
  of movie. I get that.
• 5:13
  He's like, I know my worth for what I am worth.
• 5:18
  I I don't know how you mean by that.
• 5:23
  That's how he negotiates. He gets like he wraps them up in
• 5:26
  his hub. I do think that he's done enough
• 5:29
  low budget stuff though. Like I just, I think it's
• 5:32
  possible that this is a bug, Ted.
• 5:34
  That's how I feel about it. Also the fact that, you know, we
• 5:38
  can see a little puppetry going on at times with.
• 5:42
  Tom Atkins. Yeah, yeah, the Tom Atkins
• 5:45
  puppet. Honestly some of the best puppet
• 5:47
  work I've ever. Seen the guy, I'm like on a
• 5:48
  Marion. Type thing here.
• 5:50
  OK. Yeah.
• 5:51
  And. So that's where Backstreet Boys
• 5:52
  got the OR N St. got the Bye, bye bye oh.
• 5:55
  My God. Yeah.
• 5:57
  Inspired by Tom Atkins. Yeah.
• 5:58
  Today you know, OK. So I'm going, but I'm going, OK.
• 6:02
  Yeah, you're right. It's bucked head, but
• 6:04
  surprisingly more budget than I would have guessed.
• 6:06
  It's 5 million, OK, which is pretty solid for a little B
• 6:10
  movie like this, right? That's what.
• 6:11
  I'm saying I feel like Tom Atkins will do a $5,000,000
• 6:15
  movie, you know what I mean? Yeah.
• 6:16
  Yeah. All right.
• 6:17
  And oh, OK. It's not good here from the rest
• 6:21
  of this. It's opening box office.
• 6:23
  You're in 20,000. Oh, no.
• 6:25
  Overall worldwide gross 5, 191,000.
• 6:28
  So like 10%? Yeah, yeah, it did not perform
• 6:31
  well, but IMDb is pretty solid. It's a 6.7.
• 6:35
  OK, good. That's a really high score for
• 6:38
  that. OK, so I have three other movies
• 6:41
  that released in 1986 and the theme that I chose for these
• 6:45
  movies are they're telling you the the time of day.
• 6:48
  OK, that's a fun theme. I know you were worried cuz
• 6:51
  we've been living in 1986 for a while and you're like, how am I
• 6:55
  gonna keep this fresh? Well, you know, and we're in
• 6:57
  Night of the Creeps here, So what other?
• 6:59
  Night time. What other times of day exist,
• 7:01
  Travis? In horror movies, yeah, let's
• 7:03
  figure out. So the first one is You will Die
• 7:05
  at Midnight is a movie that released May 3rd 1986.
• 7:12
  Don't have budget the gross but IMDb 5.6.
• 7:16
  OK, can I tell you a funny story real quick?
• 7:19
  Sure. So I was trying to put in our
• 7:21
  next Monster Lodge meeting in my calendar.
• 7:24
  That's how I am as a person. And I was like, mirror twin
• 7:29
  closes at midnight. I'll put it from three to
• 7:31
  midnight. And my calendar said absolutely
• 7:35
  the fuck you will not midnight on this day is yes.
• 7:40
  It was like you cannot have an ending time earlier than your
• 7:43
  start time. And I was like, then I tried to
• 7:45
  do 1159 and it freaked out because I have military time on
• 7:49
  my phone and it was like 1159 is also before 3:00 PM.
• 7:54
  So that's your. Phone was through with you
• 7:57
  already. It's like God damn it.
• 7:58
  So I won't die at midnight. We'll see about that.
• 8:03
  Like, you're not going to be there for that.
• 8:04
  You best not be planning for that one.
• 8:07
  OK? Next movie night, Ripper.
• 8:11
  OK, I don't have a release date for this.
• 8:13
  Like it's like all question marks.
• 8:15
  It may have released in 1986. That's why one source told me.
• 8:19
  I don't have any financials for it either, but it's a 4.309 DB.
• 8:24
  OK, yeah. And the final one, it's scream
• 8:28
  time. OK.
• 8:29
  Yeah. So that's more of like kind of,
• 8:32
  you know, a philosophical time of day.
• 8:35
  Yeah, it's like it's like a personal like everybody has
• 8:38
  their screen time. Yeah, day, yeah.
• 8:41
  So it's whatever suits you. OK.
• 8:43
  So screen time also don't have release information may have
• 8:46
  released in 1986. I'm not 100% sure about that
• 8:48
  because I had various other years.
• 8:49
  Are these actual real movies or did you just make things out?
• 8:52
  They are all movies that are on the 1986 Wikipedia page for
• 8:56
  horror movies. But then I look at other sources
• 8:58
  for us, like, we don't fucking know.
• 9:00
  I think it's just people like guessing the year that it might
• 9:02
  have released. This is the year that I feel
• 9:04
  like it released. It looks like.
• 9:05
  A nice in my heart movie. I mean, that was a that was a
• 9:08
  year of like time movies. So like, you know, there we go.
• 9:11
  It probably was 1986 and it has an IMDb of 4.9.
• 9:16
  So yeah. OK, that's where we at.
• 9:19
  OK, I have tag lines. So the main tag line, the good
• 9:24
  news is your dates are here. The bad news is they're dead.
• 9:29
  Honestly, if you're going to use a quote from the movie as a
• 9:33
  tagline, that's a good, that's a good one.
• 9:35
  It's. Either that one or this one
• 9:36
  right here. Both of them good thrill me.
• 9:40
  That one is a little less that one actually sounds, isn't
• 9:43
  there? Isn't there an actual horror
• 9:45
  movie called Thrill Me? There probably is, Yeah, if I
• 9:49
  had to guess. Yeah.
• 9:51
  OK, the next one, if you scream, you're dead.
• 9:56
  Actually, yeah. Maybe, I don't know, some people
• 9:58
  scream in this movie and they survive.
• 10:00
  Yeah. But then they get the yeah yeah
• 10:01
  all. Right.
• 10:04
  And the final one. Oh no, just two more.
• 10:06
  It'll be the night of your life. Death.
• 10:09
  It's like 3. It's like an ellipsis.
• 10:13
  Like da da da death that. One doesn't really make sense
• 10:16
  to. I wish like instead of an
• 10:20
  ellipsis, it is a, uh, death. Uh, death and the final one they
• 10:25
  don't bother to knock. That's patently untrue.
• 10:31
  Yeah, you're right. We witnessed multiple zombies
• 10:33
  knocking they. Do not like these like zombies
• 10:36
  have, surprisingly. I call malarkey on that tagline.
• 10:39
  They did. That's one of those ones where
• 10:41
  they didn't even watch the movie.
• 10:42
  These are knocking zombies right here.
• 10:43
  Yeah, these are very polite zombies.
• 10:46
  OK, so let's do some fun facts. I was about it.
• 10:49
  All right, so the way that this movie began, we had Mr. Fred
• 10:54
  Decker. He is living in what he
• 10:57
  described as a little frat house that they made of their own of a
• 11:01
  bunch of future directors and writers in Hollywood at UCLA.
• 11:05
  He's got Shane Black, the guy that did the Lethal Weapon
• 11:08
  movies. He was in Predator as the nerdy
• 11:10
  dude. OK, yeah, there's a couple of
• 11:14
  other people. The guy that did Charlie's
• 11:15
  Angels, the guy that did fuck shit.
• 11:20
  I'd love that one. It's a God.
• 11:24
  It's that one Chitty Chitty Death thing.
• 11:26
  I think it's what it is. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
• 11:30
  That's it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 11:31
  There we go. Chitty Chitty Death thing is a
• 11:33
  pretty cool movie. I'd.
• 11:35
  Watch it. Yeah, I'm not embarrassed by
• 11:38
  that. I think I punched up that tile.
• 11:42
  Yeah. Anyways, so he was there and
• 11:44
  they're all making movies together.
• 11:45
  And there was one night where he couldn't fall asleep.
• 11:48
  And all of a sudden, the line Thrill me came to his mind.
• 11:52
  He's like, OK, thrill me. That's a really cool line.
• 11:54
  Where do I go from there? So he decided to take these two
• 11:59
  characters that he was using for a short film that he had, which
• 12:03
  would end up being Chris and Jaycee.
• 12:06
  And he's like, OK, so I've got the two nerdy kids and then I've
• 12:10
  got like the person that would say thrill me.
• 12:13
  So he like envisioned like a like a grizzly cop type dude,
• 12:16
  which would eventually become Tom Atkins.
• 12:18
  It's like, all right, well then we got to have like the pretty
• 12:20
  girl. So Cindy would be there.
• 12:22
  And then from there he just decided to take those 3
• 12:25
  components and then unleash all of the B horror movie knowledge
• 12:29
  that he had and just like try and make a movie out of that
• 12:32
  formula right there. He wrote it in two weeks.
• 12:37
  Cool thing is our special effects team, David B Miller and
• 12:40
  all those people, they are the entire fraternity of the betas.
• 12:44
  Oh really? That is all of the special
• 12:46
  effects team right there. Oh, that's awesome.
• 12:48
  The. Reason they did that is because
• 12:50
  they wanted to become the zombies themselves so they could
• 12:52
  plaster themselves to like reduce time on everything.
• 12:55
  So they didn't want to do any of the people.
• 12:56
  So like, we'll just be the zombies.
• 12:58
  I respect that. It was really cool.
• 12:59
  And you know what? They did pretty OK.
• 13:01
  You know, I, I would have guessed that they were actually
• 13:03
  actors. Speaking of the special effects,
• 13:05
  the creeps, the little like. Leach.
• 13:09
  Yeah, they were like slug guys, like the way that they got them
• 13:11
  to move around. They had like little box cars
• 13:13
  underneath them that would like go a little Hot Wheels.
• 13:16
  Yeah. And then they would also like
• 13:18
  tie wires to them and just kind of drag them around.
• 13:21
  Well, now I have a new craft project.
• 13:23
  I think that that would that would drive the.
• 13:25
  Pets here absolutely won. Lose it.
• 13:28
  Zoe would hunt it. Yeah, absolutely.
• 13:30
  Zoe. Like that's one that we'd hear
• 13:32
  her in the middle of the night. Yeah, the secial effect scene
• 13:37
  was really sread thin though, because they had a really tight
• 13:41
  deadline for all of this. And aarently this caused some
• 13:45
  tensions on set between them. It stressed them all out.
• 13:48
  There was lots of them fighting. They got so fed up with one dude
• 13:52
  who they were like, this was the prankster of the group.
• 13:55
  He kept like fucking with people.
• 13:56
  So they all got pissed off at him.
• 13:58
  So one day they got a video camera.
• 14:01
  They waited for him to return from lunch and they grabbed him
• 14:04
  and they taped him to a crucifix.
• 14:05
  And then they took him out to the streets and like, left him
• 14:08
  out there on like the road just so people would drive by.
• 14:11
  And they were all just, like, honking at him as they were
• 14:13
  driving by. And the way that they're talking
• 14:15
  about this in the special features, they're like, oh,
• 14:17
  yeah. It was just like a, you know,
• 14:19
  people like that fuck around. We do that shit.
• 14:22
  I'm wanting to know what else goes down on like horror movie
• 14:24
  sets whenever like the special effects crew's not getting
• 14:28
  along. That is, listen, I can
• 14:32
  understand the time and leaving in the middle of the street,
• 14:35
  I've done that. The crucifix part is what kind
• 14:38
  of keeps it up a notch, Yeah. It's pretty dark, man.
• 14:42
  And you know, I think that kind of goes to show you don't want
• 14:45
  to piss off the special effects scene because they can.
• 14:46
  Make. Yeah.
• 14:48
  They can make like a crucifix like that and get you on it.
• 14:51
  That's intense, and that's really intense.
• 14:54
  I'm uncomfortable. Yeah, yeah.
• 14:58
  I am honestly shocked that they shared that story.
• 15:00
  Yeah, like, wow, that's the one you keep to yourselves, guys,
• 15:03
  with the preview that they did. So they ended up showing like
• 15:07
  the unfinished product to MGM. It's apparently like a normal
• 15:11
  process that they do. It went terribly.
• 15:15
  Apparently they ended up having to change the ending as a result
• 15:19
  of this. The reason why is so the version
• 15:22
  that we watched. I liked the the director.
• 15:25
  'S yeah. So we watched the director's
• 15:26
  cut, and the director's cut is basically the theatrical cut,
• 15:31
  but it's just a different ending.
• 15:33
  The theatrical cut has like this dog coming in and you know the
• 15:38
  dog is like going to be a character in a movie and ends up
• 15:40
  like. It's the house mother's dog.
• 15:41
  She gets infected when the axe murderer like bursts up through
• 15:44
  the floor. Right.
• 15:45
  And then it just like blows up in Cindy's face.
• 15:47
  Yeah, the director's cut has Cameron come out of the fire.
• 15:53
  Yeah. And like, you know, the things
• 15:56
  spread to a cemetery. And then we see a spaceship
• 15:58
  floating over the cemetery. Well, apparently because it was
• 16:01
  unfinished, they had a very poorly done spaceship
• 16:04
  placeholder over the cemetery. And apparently that thing just
• 16:08
  really did not sit well. So they really forced him to do,
• 16:13
  like a whole new ending with that.
• 16:14
  However, with that came more money, so he ended up shooting
• 16:19
  that one little bit. That's different for the
• 16:22
  theatrical ending. It's just the dog walking up and
• 16:24
  doing that, and he took the rest of the money and he did
• 16:27
  additional shots and scenes. So that scene where they go into
• 16:31
  the garden shed, he used that money to film that scene.
• 16:34
  OK, I like that scene. I know.
• 16:36
  I thought that was a good addition right there.
• 16:40
  And really because of all of this, and apparently like him
• 16:43
  and the producer were making a lot of like they were picking a
• 16:45
  lot of fights for their vision of certain things and they were
• 16:48
  having a lot of losing battles with the producer or with the
• 16:52
  company. Ended up getting a very half
• 16:56
  hearted release, which would explain why we have bad box
• 17:00
  office summers For this. Decker blames himself.
• 17:02
  He says that he doesn't feel as though he'd navigated the
• 17:05
  politics of the business properly, and as a result, he
• 17:09
  thinks that they shafted him. I feel bad for.
• 17:12
  Him I do too, and he this is one that I spotted myself when I'm
• 17:16
  proud because I found out he did his next movie, which came out
• 17:21
  the following year, Monster Squad.
• 17:23
  OK. And there is that scene where JC
• 17:27
  goes into the bathroom and starts doing graffiti.
• 17:30
  One of the graffiti in there is go Monster Squad.
• 17:34
  So cool. It was like, yeah, a year before
• 17:36
  the movie that came out. This is like a little Easter
• 17:38
  egg, like, here's the future project right here.
• 17:40
  Yeah. OK.
• 17:42
  All right, that's all my fun facts right there, OK.
• 17:44
  That's a lot of fun facts. Yeah, a lot of fun.
• 17:46
  A lot of facts. Yeah, I hope so.
• 17:48
  I hope it was fun. Yeah.
• 17:50
  All right, so that's all of that.
• 17:52
  So let's do our good. Bad.
• 17:53
  I'll go again. Absurd.
• 17:54
  And Jesse, you kick it off. What'd you like?
• 17:56
  I'm so glad that we can finally talk about this.
• 17:58
  We watched this two nights ago and we've been cuz we've never
• 18:01
  seen this. Yeah, this is a first.
• 18:02
  Watch first. Post yes and we've been putting
• 18:04
  off talking about it with each other.
• 18:06
  I thought this movie was so much fucking fun.
• 18:09
  I'm glad you liked it because I was worried that you weren't
• 18:11
  gonna like. It it is you can tell he's got a
• 18:13
  love of like those B horror movies.
• 18:15
  So when you said he was just throwing all of his knowledge in
• 18:18
  there, you can tell that it was done from somebody who like
• 18:21
  lives in that space. Yeah, he was an interesting
• 18:24
  dude. Like his interviews were good,
• 18:26
  apparently. Like he was a super shy dude, so
• 18:28
  like there was concerns if he was actually going to be able to
• 18:31
  like command a set. So Chris is kind of like a self
• 18:34
  insert for him. Yeah, that's what they actually
• 18:36
  were saying. Like, well, like the guy that
• 18:38
  played Chris was like, like, I feel like the director wanted to
• 18:41
  like put in like make that character kind of him.
• 18:44
  So, you know, I got to be like. And he's like, I don't really
• 18:46
  want to say not cool because he didn't want to like, but, you
• 18:50
  know, like, kind of like the nerdy dude, Yeah.
• 18:52
  Yeah, I thought, God, there's just so much fun It it doesn't
• 18:56
  take itself too seriously, but in the best way.
• 18:58
  You know, we talk a lot of times on this show that like camp is
• 19:01
  either really good if it's very self aware or if it plays it
• 19:04
  very straight. And this is the one that like
• 19:06
  it's very self aware. Yeah.
• 19:07
  And it leans into it and it has fun with it.
• 19:10
  I think this is my favorite Tom Atkins I've ever seen cuz he is
• 19:14
  so goddamn unhinged. He said that this is his
• 19:18
  favorite movie he's done like in in his interview.
• 19:21
  He's like, people ask me like Night of the Creeps, my best
• 19:24
  movie, like best character I've ever done.
• 19:26
  It was like fantastic he had. A lot of fun.
• 19:28
  Yeah, it is so much fun. It keeps up the pace the whole
• 19:32
  time, like you're never lacking for anything.
• 19:35
  I just I I love this movie so much.
• 19:38
  I'm glad you like it. Yeah.
• 19:40
  Yeah, I had a lot of fun with it too.
• 19:41
  Do you have any more goods or? I mean, probably a lot of goods.
• 19:45
  I said I'm just going to be gushing about it as it goes
• 19:47
  along. But it just overall, it's just,
• 19:50
  it's a fun time like that. We start in the 50s and for a
• 19:53
  while you're like, is this axe murderer ever going to come
• 19:55
  back? But it's really not about the
• 19:56
  murderer. It's about Atkins.
• 19:59
  That's true. I like how they weave like those
• 20:02
  parts of the story right there, like the opening.
• 20:04
  I like how it starts off with that very, it was very 50s
• 20:07
  because it has the black and white and like the costume
• 20:10
  design. Everything's perfect.
• 20:11
  You can tell he grew up with those movies because it starts
• 20:14
  off with like an alien invasion type thing where we get aliens
• 20:17
  sending some kind of thing out. But yeah, the axe murder thing,
• 20:21
  I didn't expect that. And I like that.
• 20:23
  It's like a consist, like it comes back.
• 20:26
  It's a consistent plot line. I like how it ties into Tom
• 20:29
  Atkins character because like I must be stupid or something
• 20:33
  because I just didn't make that connection until he started
• 20:36
  telling Chris in the movie. Like I was that cop.
• 20:39
  I was like, what the fuck? No way.
• 20:41
  And. I kind of I.
• 20:42
  Figured it. I figured it out actually a
• 20:44
  little bit earlier when we saw flashbacks of him.
• 20:46
  But I thought he was a different cop.
• 20:48
  I didn't think he was like the ex boy boyfriend of Pam, I think
• 20:52
  her name was. Yeah, like you said, this guy
• 20:54
  like the cheesiness too, with the campiness.
• 20:56
  That's, you know, it's perfect, perfect tone for this.
• 20:59
  I just, I just think it was really well put together.
• 21:02
  It's really, it's just a fun movie, honestly.
• 21:04
  Special effects were great. Yeah, we've we've covered it
• 21:10
  pretty much at this point. All right, so what's some bad
• 21:12
  stuff? I'm gonna, I'm gonna throw this
• 21:14
  bad at MDM because the alien shit makes very little fucking
• 21:19
  sense if we don't wrap it up at the end.
• 21:20
  Like I get that the things came from space, but like, I don't
• 21:24
  know, I feel like in the theatrical cut we don't get that
• 21:27
  neat little bow. Like we don't see the aliens
• 21:29
  coming back for it. Yeah, and I just, I like that
• 21:33
  ending a lot better. Like apparently they also had a
• 21:35
  problem. I think that they thought it was
• 21:39
  like sequel bait and they didn't want to just like throw that out
• 21:41
  there. Apparently, like they were also
• 21:43
  saying a big thing of the time was the ending to carry.
• 21:48
  So everybody was wanting to have the shock ending.
• 21:49
  So they really were pushing like, hey, have like a big jump
• 21:52
  scare at the end. For me, it gives vibes like the
• 21:55
  the director's ending gives vibes of like the ending of
• 21:59
  Return of the Living. That's.
• 22:00
  Exactly what I was thinking. Too, where it's like, oh, so
• 22:03
  everybody's just fought. Yeah, yeah.
• 22:05
  And honestly, I would love to see a sequel of this right here.
• 22:07
  Yeah. I feel like you can even, like,
• 22:09
  bring Tom Atkins back, you know, like, I mean, like, he's fried
• 22:13
  to a crisp, but like, I don't know, like, maybe they can
• 22:16
  repurpose bodies because they are reanimating bodies all over
• 22:19
  the place in this movie. Yeah.
• 22:21
  So it could happen. OK, You got any other bats?
• 22:27
  Honestly, not a ton because I just.
• 22:29
  There's a lot about this movie that, like in somebody who
• 22:34
  didn't have love for the B horror, like a lot of these
• 22:37
  things wouldn't work or they'd fall flat, But he knew exactly
• 22:40
  how to pick up certain threads or certain plot points and use
• 22:43
  them to his advantage. So I think it all ended up
• 22:46
  really generally working out. Yeah, this is this is one that's
• 22:51
  really hard for me to find anything bad.
• 22:53
  Also, I thought the dance was going to be more of a thing.
• 22:58
  Yeah. Like, you know, like it like
• 23:01
  they're gearing up for it at the end of the movie.
• 23:02
  But really it's just like a ultimately it's just like a,
• 23:05
  hey, how do we get a bunch of frat dudes on a bus?
• 23:08
  Like, I mean, really, that's a. But I think it does kind of make
• 23:12
  a cool setting. So at least, you know, like
• 23:14
  college formal type thing, you know, it's a fun time.
• 23:18
  Yeah, man, I really like. I don't know, I don't have too
• 23:24
  much bad to say about it, OK? Nothing I could think of right
• 23:26
  away. I don't want to force it.
• 23:28
  Yeah. OK, ugly stuff.
• 23:31
  I guess some of the fraternity stuff that's going on, like how
• 23:35
  they're the hazing. Yeah.
• 23:37
  And just generally, like, it's not even hazing with Jaycee and
• 23:41
  Chris, 'cause they have no intention of letting them in.
• 23:43
  Yeah. And then their idea of a prank.
• 23:47
  Maybe he got this suggestion from the special effects crew.
• 23:53
  Like, Oh dear, put that body up there.
• 23:55
  Fraternity dude. Of course it was their idea.
• 23:59
  Like. That's so funny.
• 24:03
  What's What's the joke? There I like, you know, maybe
• 24:06
  there was nothing in the script. Maybe it was just like and they
• 24:08
  play a prank and then like the special effects seems like no,
• 24:10
  no, no, like let's get a body. No, there's got to be something
• 24:13
  there because they're otherwise hardly going to go down to the
• 24:15
  morgue, you know what I mean? Well, I thought that they were
• 24:18
  going to leave it vague for a while, but then they ended up
• 24:21
  actually outright saying what the prank was.
• 24:23
  Yeah, which again, what was the ultimate joke with it?
• 24:27
  I guess it's like the rival fraternity that they were going
• 24:29
  to be. But what?
• 24:31
  But what point is it proving? Dominance.
• 24:36
  Here's a dead person on your front lawn.
• 24:38
  Deal with it. You know that That sends a
• 24:42
  message. That's a strong message.
• 24:45
  Also just Bradster. Oh yeah.
• 24:47
  Bradster. Dude, that was mine because like
• 24:50
  I, I, I told Jesse this whenever I was doing it, but like
• 24:53
  whenever I'm doing these, I like to like keep tabs of my things.
• 24:56
  So like I write ugly on the side and then like I started to write
• 25:00
  ugly, but I accidentally just wrote Brad.
• 25:01
  I was like, that's perfect. Actually, Brad's just the ugly,
• 25:06
  like the whole thing where he like, takes out JC with his
• 25:09
  crutches and yeah, just like a fucking asshole.
• 25:12
  And Cindy's like, Nope, we're done.
• 25:15
  That's it. Yeah, this is the fuck.
• 25:17
  Maybe she breaks up in the best way too, like the little like
• 25:20
  wind up middle. Fingers.
• 25:21
  Yeah, that's the language that frat guys communicate in.
• 25:25
  Yeah, it's effective. It's dead bodies and middle
• 25:28
  fingers. That's how you get through to
• 25:29
  them. Yeah, I was a frat guy.
• 25:31
  I can confirm this. You understood it all
• 25:33
  completely. Yeah, all right.
• 25:36
  Absurd. Oh my God, I had one ready and
• 25:41
  then we started talking about Brad and I forgot.
• 25:43
  OK, so they're getting ready for the formal, right?
• 25:47
  We have their little getting ready montage and then for some
• 25:49
  reason all of the betas are the dates for the Delta sigmas.
• 25:55
  And Chris? And Chris, yeah.
• 26:00
  It's just like the Dead 1 sorority and the one fraternity
• 26:03
  at this campus they. Get on their bus to go to the
• 26:07
  sorority house, which is real. That is a real thing.
• 26:10
  Yeah, but they have glasses. Oh yeah, yeah.
• 26:16
  I was like, no, absolutely not, There's no fucking way.
• 26:20
  That's not going to go well, yeah.
• 26:22
  Like, even in a frat house setting, like where they're not
• 26:26
  on wheels, that's sketchy at best.
• 26:27
  That's how you wind up with like, a sorority girl with a cut
• 26:32
  in her foot. Yeah.
• 26:33
  At a party that just no, that's that's we don't do that.
• 26:38
  I think it's funny that even though that was the disaster
• 26:41
  that was set up, we get the bus wrecking instead.
• 26:44
  Yeah, because there was a dog in the road.
• 26:45
  An alien dog yeah. Yeah, I like that the best
• 26:50
  driver tried to swerve to protect the dog I.
• 26:53
  Mean that's what you got to do, man.
• 26:54
  Yeah, yeah, you always swerve. If it means killing a bus full
• 26:58
  of Frank guys, I mean, that's what you got to do.
• 27:02
  I mean, like, it's the trolley problem, like, but if you put a
• 27:04
  dog out there, it's like, OK. Yeah, I will pull the letter.
• 27:07
  And they're like, you don't know who's on the other rail.
• 27:09
  It doesn't matter. We're saving the dog.
• 27:11
  Yeah, exactly. It's a dog.
• 27:13
  OK. Yeah, there are.
• 27:15
  There are a lot of absurd moments in this.
• 27:18
  I liked the one scene with the corpse walking out and he's like
• 27:21
  all like cut up and like he like walks right by one of the cops
• 27:25
  is like, hey, how you doing? Like he's like not even paying
• 27:28
  attention. Was this guy just, like,
• 27:29
  completely, like, dead? I like that scene when JC is,
• 27:35
  like, bopping to his, like, headphones in the dorm room with
• 27:38
  Chris there because it's such a relatable moment.
• 27:40
  Yeah, like, it's like, annoying being next to that roommate
• 27:44
  that's doing that. But they're also being
• 27:45
  respectful that they're not blasting their music like right
• 27:48
  at you, but like, what are you going to do?
• 27:50
  And that's such a real dorm room set up too.
• 27:52
  It was actually tiny. I know what a dorm room is.
• 27:55
  Whenever I was looking at this movie, like even the outside,
• 27:58
  like the dorm, it reminded me of Todd.
• 28:00
  And. Yeah, like it looked exactly
• 28:03
  like our dorms. Yeah.
• 28:05
  And then the dorm rooms and like inside.
• 28:07
  Yeah, perfect. They must have actually filmed
• 28:09
  that at. A Yes.
• 28:10
  University. Absolutely.
• 28:12
  I like also one of my favorite moments in the movie is when Tom
• 28:18
  Atkins and I'm just, I just call them Tom Atkins.
• 28:21
  Yeah. And Chris go to get a
• 28:24
  flamethrower from Dick Miller, and they're just, like, joking.
• 28:27
  I was like, yeah, I'm going to need a flamethrower.
• 28:28
  And they're just, like, laughing about it.
• 28:30
  And then he just, like, gets the shot.
• 28:31
  I was like, I'm serious. He just points it at him.
• 28:33
  I didn't pay attention to the opening credits right, because I
• 28:36
  just didn't whatever. And the whole time we were
• 28:41
  watching this movie, I was like, this movie feels like it needs a
• 28:43
  Dick Miller pop up moment. And then when he gets to the
• 28:47
  requisition, we're like. I don't think that.
• 28:49
  They mentioned Dick Miller in the opening credits.
• 28:52
  I think, yeah, he's just a good cameo or like a small role type
• 28:55
  thing. But yeah, I was with you.
• 28:57
  Like, I'm not lying. I was also thinking Dick Miller
• 29:00
  could use him right now. Yeah.
• 29:01
  And then we got him. It was like perfect placement
• 29:03
  for Dick Miller right there. Joke about getting a flame
• 29:05
  thrower. Yeah, he was like, well, at
• 29:08
  first he laughs and he's like, OK, yeah, no, you're even gonna
• 29:10
  watch the pilot light on this guy 'cause once it goes out, so
• 29:12
  bitch, you get started. Now I just need your requisition
• 29:14
  form and like Tom Atkins, close up his 12 gauge and he's like
• 29:19
  having this for a requisition. In this movie, Tom Atkins
• 29:22
  replaces the six pack with the 12 gauge.
• 29:24
  He doubled the number, but switched it from beers to gauge.
• 29:28
  Yeah. All right, that's it from my
• 29:30
  absurds. OK.
• 29:31
  All right, so let's rate. To 9.75.
• 29:35
  Oh damn. Such.
• 29:36
  A good fucking movie. I would 100% recommend this to
• 29:39
  anybody. OK, Yeah, I'm, I'm sticking with
• 29:41
  a nine for right now. I can be pushed up though if we
• 29:45
  need to or if it gets to that point.
• 29:48
  I have a feeling we're going to have a lot of fun things to say
• 29:50
  about this. So so it might get up there.
• 29:52
  OK. So we have a starting average of
• 29:53
  9.375. All right, very strong.
• 29:56
  OK, let's go. So you know those videos where
• 29:59
  it's like something's happening that you're waiting to see if
• 30:03
  it's gonna be an almost satisfying conclusion or an
• 30:06
  infuriating conclusion? I think so.
• 30:09
  So that was this with it like trying to like develop the night
• 30:13
  of the creeps logo. If you.
• 30:17
  So if you've never heard the phrase kerning, I'm about to
• 30:20
  ruin your life because kerning is like the spacing between
• 30:24
  letters and words on like a sign or a logo or even just like
• 30:27
  general like typeface or whatever term for that.
• 30:30
  OK. And once you start paying
• 30:32
  attention, you can't not see it. And I was like, Oh no, like cuz
• 30:36
  the way like they were slowly getting spaced apart was
• 30:39
  happening at weird intervals and I was like.
• 30:41
  Oh this is making my. Skin itch.
• 30:43
  Man, no, that didn't occur to me.
• 30:47
  It's a very slow oh rise though that that creep creeps.
• 30:50
  Yeah, it it do it Don't leap, it creeps.
• 30:54
  No. So we start off with hissing on
• 30:56
  a spaceship. There's some aliens fighting.
• 30:59
  OK, yeah, I wrote Fart Alien. Fart alien.
• 31:03
  Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. That's right, I said.
• 31:05
  I hope one of us remembers why I wrote Fart Aliens.
• 31:08
  I remember, do you? No.
• 31:10
  Oh. Because we said that's what
• 31:11
  Talia's farts look like running through her tummy.
• 31:13
  Because yeah, you were saying the opening credits looked like
• 31:16
  the inside of like what Scott's tummy maybe looks like.
• 31:20
  Yes, yeah. And then we said the aliens
• 31:22
  running were what Talia's tummy looks like when she's got a
• 31:25
  fart. It's like when her stomach is
• 31:27
  rumbling. We have these like 2 little
• 31:29
  thumb aliens just like getting around blasting themselves
• 31:31
  talking about the experiment. Yeah.
• 31:33
  Yeah, and ultimately it's the release of the experiment Is the
• 31:38
  fart. Basically, it's a metaphor for
• 31:40
  farts. Yeah, the whole movie is just a
• 31:42
  metaphor for fart. It's very upfront about the
• 31:45
  messaging some would call ham fisted.
• 31:49
  But yeah, the aliens they're fighting, one of them has like
• 31:53
  the experiment that puts it in like a like a pod and shoots it
• 31:57
  out into space, No. Then we catch the sorority row
• 32:00
  1959, and a boy picks up a girl for a date.
• 32:05
  They're going to go parking on the clip side.
• 32:08
  Yep, going on make out .1. Of them old fashioned ones, it's
• 32:11
  Johnny and Pam. They're looking up at the stars
• 32:14
  and they're like, what do you think is the biggest * And then
• 32:16
  they see one heading right towards him and they're like, I
• 32:18
  bet it's that one. While they're out there, a cop
• 32:22
  comes by to warn them that there is a madman on the loose who is
• 32:26
  wanted for killing people with an axe.
• 32:28
  That's another cool thing, like because we keep getting sippets
• 32:31
  of that. We get that when Johnny's
• 32:32
  driving to pick up Pam and he's on the radio, he's like, there's
• 32:34
  somebody out on the loose. And she's like, click, click it
• 32:37
  off. Yeah.
• 32:37
  And then you just keep getting more and more bits of
• 32:39
  information. Yeah, they're setting up like a
• 32:41
  man card, door hook, hand type of thing.
• 32:44
  This is a cool thing. Like I didn't expect us to have
• 32:47
  like an axe killer in this movie.
• 32:48
  Yeah, the fact. That the axe killer like stays
• 32:50
  throughout the movie is really awesome.
• 32:52
  I like this. And we get immediate tension
• 32:55
  between the cop and Pam because the cop Ray is Pam's ex.
• 32:59
  Yeah, yeah. Because like, we got some like
• 33:02
  her talking to her sorority sisters about him.
• 33:05
  Yeah. So they see the star coming
• 33:08
  towards a meteor, obviously now, and they decide they want to go
• 33:12
  find it. Really.
• 33:13
  Johnny decides he wants to go find it, and because Pam can't
• 33:16
  walk back to the sorority house by herself, she's along for the
• 33:19
  ride. So they they go.
• 33:21
  They find it somewhere in the woods and he gets out to go look
• 33:25
  for it and she says she's going to wait in the car.
• 33:27
  Except, unfortunately, as she's waiting in the car.
• 33:30
  We got a message on the radios like the killer is on this road
• 33:34
  and it happens to be the exact Rd. that they're parked on.
• 33:38
  And then, and at the same time that that's happening, Johnny
• 33:43
  gets UFO's splooge in his mouth. Yeah, I like this.
• 33:47
  Like I didn't expect the axe score to show up here, but like
• 33:50
  right there behind her and then like it shows her actually get
• 33:53
  the fucking axe. Yeah, damn.
• 33:55
  I was like, what's not expecting them?
• 33:58
  So then we got to Pledge Week 1986 captions had a moment
• 34:03
  because they were talking about how Jaycee was like trying to
• 34:06
  pump Chris up and he said we're two bitching young dudes, except
• 34:09
  bitching instead of being BITCHIN.
• 34:13
  Apostrophe is a BITCHEN. Oh bitchen, bitchen, bitchen.
• 34:20
  So yeah, Jaycee is like trying to pump Chris up.
• 34:24
  Dude, the dude's the ultimate wing man.
• 34:25
  He's like, he's a fucking good dude to have as a friend.
• 34:29
  Dude honestly like the whole time I was watching this, I
• 34:32
  like, I wish that JC would pump himself up a little bit cuz he's
• 34:36
  so down on himself for his crutches.
• 34:37
  And I was like, if I talk to these two dudes, JC is probably
• 34:40
  the one that would be getting my attention.
• 34:42
  Yeah, JC was awesome. He's got the confidence and he's
• 34:44
  just, like, a nice and funny guy.
• 34:47
  Yeah. And like, they're over there and
• 34:49
  Chris spots somebody across the street and it's Cindy.
• 34:52
  She's talking with a bunch of other women on, I guess, the
• 34:56
  front yard of their sorority house.
• 34:57
  And JC yells at her to try and get her attention.
• 35:01
  And, you know, we're planting seeds here.
• 35:04
  Yeah. They make eye contact.
• 35:05
  They've established themselves. And then they see her go into
• 35:09
  the beta house and they're like, OK, well, we need to go into the
• 35:12
  beta house too. Chris.
• 35:14
  Chris sees her outside and she uses the dude with a an intense
• 35:18
  unibrow. Dude big.
• 35:20
  A big unibrow. You know, a lot of times when we
• 35:22
  talk about a unibrow, it's more just like there's a couple of
• 35:25
  like really thick hairs in the middle that gives the illusion
• 35:28
  of it being connected. This guy is.
• 35:29
  A single this is. He's got the Helga Pataki.
• 35:32
  Oh, I was gonna say this is Bert.
• 35:36
  Ernie, Bert. Which one's the other one from
• 35:41
  The Muppets? Dude, you're thinking of Sesame
• 35:43
  Street. Sesame Street puppets are
• 35:45
  Muppets. Also, no they're not.
• 35:46
  Canonically, yes they are. No.
• 35:48
  Anyway, which one is Bert and which one's Ernie?
• 35:51
  Bert not focusing on the right. Thing Ernie is the old one,
• 35:53
  Bert's the orange one, OK. He's got an Ernie Brow.
• 35:58
  OK. That's all I was trying to get
• 36:00
  at. OK, yeah, he does.
• 36:02
  Yeah, he looks just as angry. JC is like wing man and he goes
• 36:06
  up and he tells Steve that he's got phone calls.
• 36:09
  He's like, oh man, looks good. Look it out and smooth.
• 36:12
  Dude, like, yeah, because like that right there, guessing that
• 36:15
  he made the guess, like that's not her boyfriend.
• 36:17
  So he's like, I'm going to pretend like I'm her boyfriend
• 36:20
  to get her out of this conversation.
• 36:22
  I also love this moment because Steve is a dummy because JC
• 36:29
  comes over and says, hey, what's your name?
• 36:34
  He doesn't say are you Chris? He or he doesn't say are you
• 36:37
  Steve? He says.
• 36:38
  What's your name? To be fair, he asks Cindy.
• 36:41
  He's like, what's his name? It's smooth.
• 36:43
  This dude's smooth. He doesn't make any fuck ups
• 36:45
  like that. Yeah, and like I say, OK, fine.
• 36:47
  I guess I do. So he starts talking up Chris a
• 36:51
  little bit. Chris is being a little spazzy
• 36:54
  over there on the side, though. He's not even wanting to make
• 36:56
  eye contact with either of them. And Cindy is just like, well,
• 37:00
  I'm actually here with somebody. And when JC comes back to report
• 37:04
  that to Chris, who's like, you know what I need to do.
• 37:06
  I need to become a beta for her to pay attention to me.
• 37:09
  Yeah, but he does report back. It's like I don't think Steve is
• 37:12
  her boyfriend, which is actually true.
• 37:14
  Yes, that is correct. Yeah, she's actually with the
• 37:17
  president of Beta. Yeah, the Brads, Drew.
• 37:20
  Yeah. So they're pledging beta now.
• 37:23
  They are being, I guess, like interviewed by Brad and the rest
• 37:29
  of the betas. And they're like, OK, why should
• 37:31
  we let you in? They have to complete an act of
• 37:33
  devotion, and we don't know what that is yet.
• 37:37
  Instead, we cut to the lab. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 37:40
  So they. The science room, as you once
• 37:42
  referred to it. That's not wrong, man.
• 37:45
  Science happens here. It's a room of science, the
• 37:47
  science room. Technically, science happens
• 37:50
  everywhere we live. That's not true.
• 37:52
  Surrounded by science. It doesn't happen everywhere.
• 37:54
  Not everybody's just doing science.
• 37:55
  I'm not doing science right. Here are you breathing in and
• 37:58
  out? That's not doing science, maybe.
• 38:00
  Doing science. That's doing life.
• 38:03
  That's not doing science life. Is science.
• 38:08
  Fine, whatever everything is every every room is a science
• 38:11
  room. All right, so they are walking
• 38:13
  down the science hall into the science room.
• 38:16
  And there's a science guy on the science phone.
• 38:18
  Yeah, and he can't get the damn science button to work, so he
• 38:22
  uses the damn science phone to call a science partner and he's
• 38:26
  like, hey, what's the code? And then JC just walks over to
• 38:29
  the code while he's away from it and he hits 0.
• 38:32
  Yes, the code is 0. So this science guy not too good
• 38:36
  at a science job? Yeah, not Bill Nye.
• 38:40
  So they go into the room and they see this guy that's
• 38:43
  cryogenically frozen and Jaycee. This is probably one of his
• 38:47
  Dumber moments. He goes over there and just
• 38:49
  starts hitting buttons. Here's the thing, he's so
• 38:51
  excited about it. He's like, this is science
• 38:54
  fiction type stuff. This is amazing.
• 38:56
  What a wonderful breakthrough. Let's unfreeze the guy.
• 39:00
  Clearly you've seen this movie, Jaycee.
• 39:03
  I honestly can't believe that they're getting a body.
• 39:06
  They're actually going for it. That is absurd.
• 39:09
  I cannot believe that, but they get it.
• 39:11
  They open up the tube, they get Johnny.
• 39:14
  Johnny is the guy in there and he just collapses on them.
• 39:18
  Except as I go to pick him up he grabs one of them so they freak
• 39:22
  out and they run out past the science guy.
• 39:24
  Like Banshees? Like banshees and then the
• 39:27
  science guy is science scared into opening his mouth and
• 39:31
  getting science splooge. He gets science in the mouth.
• 39:34
  Yeah, yeah. They, Chris and Jaycee are in
• 39:36
  their dorm room and I love this moment between them because it's
• 39:39
  so real. Like because up until now, and
• 39:43
  JC has been a stellar friend. And part of me is like, what the
• 39:46
  fuck is he even getting out of this friendship?
• 39:48
  And he's like, dude, you're just so fucking depressed all the
• 39:50
  time since your breakup and I'm trying to make things better.
• 39:54
  And yeah, of course I'm going to joke around because you're such
• 39:56
  a sad fucking sack all the time and we can't both be sad sacks.
• 39:59
  And, you know, my life's hard, but you know, I keep on going
• 40:02
  and living. And you know what?
• 40:03
  I love you, man. And I just want you to be happy.
• 40:05
  So I'm trying to make you happy. It's like, yeah, like I'm not
• 40:07
  going to get any girls. So why not like, help my friend
• 40:09
  get girls? You know what?
• 40:10
  Because yeah, I'm, I'm a good bro and he just fucking lets him
• 40:14
  have it. And I'm happy for him.
• 40:15
  And he needed to hear that. That's the type of wake up call
• 40:18
  that Chris needs to hear. Yeah.
• 40:19
  And then I like the follow up. And then Chris is like, hey, can
• 40:22
  I have that pillow? And he just takes the pillow and
• 40:25
  throws it and treats you as hard as he could.
• 40:28
  You and I have done that after petty arguments before.
• 40:33
  It's the perfect like, all right, man, I heard.
• 40:36
  Understood. Fuck you.
• 40:40
  Let me cut to Tom Atkins. He's on a beach.
• 40:43
  Dude, perfect way to introduce Tom Atkins to a movie.
• 40:46
  I feel like he agreed to do the movie.
• 40:49
  If only he could have a James Bond.
• 40:50
  Movie he's like OK, like can I choose my wardrobe in the scene
• 40:53
  please? And like OK fine.
• 40:55
  So like shows up fully white suit on a beach.
• 40:58
  Got some kind of alcohol? Not a linen suit, because I
• 41:02
  understand. You hear White suit on the
• 41:03
  beach. You think linen?
• 41:04
  No, this is like a white tux. Yeah, yeah, this dude is dressed
• 41:08
  to the fucking nines over here. He's watching Pam come out of
• 41:11
  the out of the ocean again. It's very Bond imagery.
• 41:15
  Yeah. And then all of a sudden, oh,
• 41:18
  actually she's being murdered. That's fucking intense.
• 41:23
  Yeah, you see. Like he's just there standing at
• 41:25
  the cop car and it's just the axe murderer just whacking at
• 41:29
  her with an axe. Holy shit.
• 41:30
  And then he actually wakes up in his armchair.
• 41:34
  He gets a phone call. Throw me throw.
• 41:36
  Me, I love that one. That is a cool one.
• 41:39
  You know, he like branded to himself hard and fast as that
• 41:43
  and he goes like I can't drop it now.
• 41:46
  Yeah, he's like the guy. He's like the throw me guy.
• 41:48
  Yeah, like he has to say it. Yeah, so he gets a call.
• 41:52
  There's a break in at the lab, 2 bodies.
• 41:55
  So he gets there and he's like looking around and all of the
• 41:58
  science stuff in the science room.
• 42:00
  And this is where he's like, all right, what is this?
• 42:02
  Homicide or a beppy movie. Great line.
• 42:06
  I wish he had just like done a Craig Robinson looked directly.
• 42:09
  In camera and I like this part where the cops was like, all
• 42:12
  right, I was told there were two bodies, but there's only one.
• 42:14
  What happened? He's like he goes.
• 42:16
  On a like 92nd monologue carrying into this detective,
• 42:21
  turning into one of the squad cops about the difference
• 42:27
  between 1:00 and 2:00 and can you count 2?
• 42:29
  I like the guys. He's like, well, there was a
• 42:31
  communications issue and then like he like goes to the other.
• 42:34
  He's like, what's he talking about?
• 42:35
  I was like, well, there was a con issue and.
• 42:38
  He goes, yeah, it's like a third one.
• 42:40
  He goes there is a dispatch issue.
• 42:41
  Yeah, it's just funny. So we cut to Johnny's body
• 42:44
  walking and we see Brad dropping Cindy off at the her sorority
• 42:49
  house. And we come to another sister
• 42:51
  who's inside and she's studying and she hears a tap, tap tapping
• 42:56
  at the window, a rap tap tapping at her chamber door.
• 42:59
  Thank you. It's a key.
• 43:01
  Cat, this is Zoe. Yeah.
• 43:03
  I mean, it looks exactly like Zoe.
• 43:04
  Acts just like Zoe. That's Zoe right there.
• 43:06
  That's what happens anytime if I'm going to open the store
• 43:08
  right now. Zoe will be right there.
• 43:10
  She'll be right there and she'll yell at me and jump at me.
• 43:12
  Yeah, that's how she is. Yeah, I guess that's her study
• 43:15
  partner. Yeah.
• 43:17
  So that's sweet. But at Cindy's window is not a
• 43:21
  little wrapped up. Tapping it is in fact the body
• 43:24
  of Johnny. Oh, also, before this we had one
• 43:27
  of the sisters ask Cindy's like, hey, I've got like all of these
• 43:30
  brains for my, you know, bio class project.
• 43:34
  Where do you guys mind if I put them in the basement?
• 43:36
  And here's the fucking thing. This is what I mean, that this
• 43:38
  movie ties up things that like other like B horror movies would
• 43:43
  just drop off as plot lines. I saw that me being the person
• 43:47
  who watches a lot of B horror, it was like, that's going to be
• 43:49
  A It's just a thing. I thought that I knew for sure.
• 43:51
  I was like, well, we're gonna have like, shit, they're gonna
• 43:54
  come for that. That's gonna be a thing.
• 43:56
  You don't do that. And just like, OK, some people.
• 43:59
  Some bad movies do. Some do, but yeah, I had
• 44:02
  confidence in this movie, so that's gonna play out into
• 44:04
  something. Yeah, so she puts a jar of
• 44:06
  brains in the basement. It's so weird, like I've got a
• 44:10
  bunch of brains. I need to put them in our
• 44:12
  sorority house basement. You guys are cool with that,
• 44:14
  right? Doing a science experiment, you
• 44:16
  would leave it in the science building in one of the science
• 44:19
  rooms. Aren't all building science
• 44:20
  buildings? That is true according to my
• 44:22
  thesis, yes. You've already, like, destroyed
• 44:24
  yourself, I think, yeah. A cell phone.
• 44:28
  OK, so the Johnny is at Cindy's window.
• 44:32
  She freaks out, his head splits open, and we've got brain slugs
• 44:35
  just. Fine everywhere.
• 44:37
  Yeah, the cops arrive and. There's a body in front of the
• 44:42
  that's already house. The patrol cops are so excited.
• 44:45
  They're like, hey, look, it's the other body and Cameron's
• 44:49
  like, I'm not, I'm not excited about.
• 44:53
  This that's the thing with this movie, they keep getting more
• 44:56
  and more excited at like the gruesomeness of each.
• 45:00
  Crime scene. Like later on with the house 1,
• 45:02
  like you can't even like we're going to need like all kinds of
• 45:05
  stretchers. If you put them on every single
• 45:06
  everybody part on a single stretcher, you didn't have to
• 45:09
  have like 100 like body parts everywhere.
• 45:11
  He said that apropos with nothing to.
• 45:13
  You. He was smiling.
• 45:14
  Yeah. He was so fucking happy about
• 45:16
  it. But Ray is having a flashback to
• 45:18
  the axe murderer, and he's kind of looking around the backyard.
• 45:22
  He's having flashbacks to burying a body back there, but
• 45:24
  now it's the house. Mothers Cottage.
• 45:26
  Yeah, and he's standing back there.
• 45:29
  Yeah. He's just like staring at it.
• 45:30
  And then the detective comes over there and he's like, hey,
• 45:33
  like, step out of the camera. And he's like, hey, so do.
• 45:36
  You think he calls him Ray, which is where I'm at the
• 45:38
  connection. OK, so that it's the same
• 45:40
  person. These smart peoples probably did
• 45:42
  the same thing, but I did not I'm.
• 45:44
  A science person. There we go.
• 45:47
  But he's like, hey, did that to you?
• 45:49
  Did that wound look like an axe wound to you?
• 45:52
  So he's starting to think, like, maybe the axe murderer is back.
• 45:55
  Yeah, I think it's kind of crazy that he's like thinking the axe
• 45:57
  murderer is gonna be back when he shot him and buried him.
• 46:00
  Or, as Elton John would say, the bitch is back.
• 46:03
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, an axe murderer is kind
• 46:05
  of a bitch. Yeah.
• 46:06
  And to be fair. All right.
• 46:08
  So next day boys are approached by the betas and they're mad
• 46:11
  that they put the body in front of the wrong house.
• 46:14
  And they're like, no JCP, like we actually chickened out.
• 46:18
  We got freaked out by the body in the science room, so we
• 46:21
  chickened out. We didn't do that.
• 46:23
  Yeah, Chris like makes like a funny line.
• 46:25
  He was like, it's all Greek to me.
• 46:27
  Yeah, that was, that was really funny because he was like,
• 46:30
  you're supposed to put it at the PKE house, and instead you put
• 46:33
  it at the sorority house. And some girls are really
• 46:35
  freaked out about that. And they're like, yeah, no, it
• 46:38
  wasn't us. And they try to walk away.
• 46:40
  Brad kicks out Jaycee's crutch and Cindy sees that, and she's
• 46:44
  like oh hell no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 46:47
  Yeah, Brad does like the thing, though.
• 46:49
  He gets pissed off and like his boys have got him.
• 46:51
  He like hands out. He just sticks his hands out.
• 46:53
  And this boy slaps him with sunglasses and he just, like,
• 46:56
  puts it on. And the other boy slaps him with
• 46:57
  the backpack and he puts that on.
• 47:00
  That's embarrassing to be one of those guys, to be the glasses
• 47:02
  and backpack guy for another dude.
• 47:04
  Yeah, boosting another boy. Have respect for yourself.
• 47:07
  You want to be the boy that gets boosted?
• 47:08
  If you're going to do boost and do like JC, yeah, that's a good
• 47:11
  booster right there. Yeah, yeah.
• 47:13
  So, Cindy? Cindy's feeling bad, so she goes
• 47:15
  over there today like talk to them a little bit.
• 47:17
  But JC and Chris get pulled into the police station for
• 47:21
  questioning. Yep, and it's Tom Atkins.
• 47:25
  And it's. They mentioned before that the
• 47:28
  janitor was a witness. They had seen two boys run out
• 47:30
  like banshees. In the interrogation room with
• 47:35
  the janitor. I'm pretty sure that's not how
• 47:37
  interrogations work. Have you ever been interrogated
• 47:40
  by Tom Atkins? Because I'm pretty sure that's.
• 47:42
  Exactly. That's how it would work with
• 47:43
  Tom Atkins, yes. That's how that goes.
• 47:46
  Yeah, so you like? I just love how amused the
• 47:49
  janitor is. He's like he he said that they
• 47:51
  ran out scream screaming like banshees and he just keeps
• 47:54
  laughing about it to himself. The entire time he doesn't stop
• 47:57
  laughing, up until a time jump where he is back in the science
• 48:02
  building and we see the scientist who is now dead.
• 48:09
  He sits up. He is.
• 48:12
  He scares the janitor and the janitor himself runs screaming,
• 48:16
  walks it out like banshee. Yeah, so Cindy gets a call from
• 48:20
  Brad. He's trying to smooth things
• 48:21
  over, but he says all the wrong things.
• 48:24
  He gets mad at her for being a psych major and using her psych
• 48:26
  Munbo jumbo bullshit. Dude, that is Christian V Danny.
• 48:32
  Oh my God, you're right. I was thinking whenever I heard
• 48:35
  this, like I've heard this. Somewhere.
• 48:36
  What the fuck have I heard this and.
• 48:38
  It is definitely Midsummer. Oh, don't use your psychology
• 48:41
  major on our relationship behind.
• 48:43
  Me. He's totally Christian.
• 48:47
  Yeah, so she's mad. Yeah, we see the studio's sister
• 48:52
  sees the cat. The cat was hurt.
• 48:55
  The cat has brain slugs. Yeah, man, that's upsetting.
• 49:00
  Like, you see, like the world, like melted cat face.
• 49:03
  Yeah. But apparently cats are allergic
• 49:06
  to brain slugs. I guess so.
• 49:09
  So we got back over to Detective Cameron Ray.
• 49:14
  Yeah, Ray, Yeah. He's going through his old
• 49:17
  yearbook and he's just, like, reminiscing the pan.
• 49:19
  He's called to emergency again. Yeah, this one's the science
• 49:22
  guy. Yeah.
• 49:24
  Cindy knocks on Chris's door and she's wanting to go on a walk
• 49:28
  with him and JC to, you know, talk about what she just saw at
• 49:32
  her house. Yeah, she was like, I knew we
• 49:33
  buried that cat, and yet it it came up and it attacked us.
• 49:38
  Yeah, And then she's like, hey, and also like, well, at this
• 49:41
  point Jason's like, hey, I'm gonna go to the bathroom because
• 49:43
  I realized you have an opportunity right here, Chris.
• 49:45
  And I'm gonna wing man and just like I'm gonna go do some
• 49:47
  graffiti and stuff. Yeah.
• 49:49
  But she's like, hey, so Chris, I know this is gonna sound crazy,
• 49:52
  but I think that that was a zombie, like his head like split
• 49:55
  open right in front of me. And there was this like, slug
• 49:57
  things that shot out everywhere. And like, I don't know what else
• 50:00
  to say other than like, that's what I saw.
• 50:03
  And he doesn't believe her. And she's a little bit upset
• 50:05
  because she's like, I thought I could talk to you.
• 50:07
  Yeah. He's blowing it.
• 50:09
  He he really is and I just I wrote that she predicts the plot
• 50:14
  of the entire movie like she knows how this movie is going
• 50:17
  Well, she's. Smart.
• 50:17
  She knows what's going to happen.
• 50:19
  So we cut to the zombified janitor.
• 50:23
  He's in the hallway and he follows JC into the bathroom.
• 50:27
  And he spits out a bunch of brain slugs onto the bathroom
• 50:30
  floor. And JC Smart is like, well,
• 50:33
  cool, need to figure something out.
• 50:35
  But he panics a little bit. This is the only time he's not
• 50:37
  been cool as a cucumber. And he knocks over his crutches,
• 50:40
  but there's also a pack of matches.
• 50:43
  So he manages to get a pack of match, and he drops in on one of
• 50:45
  the slugs, realizes it's flammable, and he's like, OK,
• 50:47
  cool, we're gonna try and figure out what we can do.
• 50:50
  Except now he's like crawling out.
• 50:51
  And we just cut to a slug crawling at his face.
• 50:55
  Man, I'm so I was it's. Such a bummer.
• 50:57
  Because I wanted him to stick around.
• 51:00
  But good news, should you choose to see it in this situation, is
• 51:03
  that Cindy has formally invited Chris to her formal tomorrow
• 51:07
  night. Yeah, and Ray just ruin us the
• 51:13
  whole. Thing I love it.
• 51:13
  It's like classic spanky. He just starts calling them
• 51:16
  different names at this point. Well, it's because he called
• 51:20
  Chris Spanky and JC Alfalfa. Yeah, he never bothered to learn
• 51:24
  their names. Is that a reference to
• 51:26
  something? Alfalfa is a reference to the
• 51:28
  little rascals. Spanky.
• 51:29
  Isn't spanky like the the dummy in the group like the I?
• 51:34
  Don't know honestly. I, I, I honestly have no clue.
• 51:37
  Hold on, you're looking it up. Yeah, I'm looking it up real
• 51:40
  quick. Spanky is in little.
• 51:41
  Rascals. Oh, OK dude, it's been so long
• 51:44
  since I've seen little rascals. Oh yeah, he's on with the little
• 51:47
  like. Oh.
• 51:48
  Yeah. Classic spanky.
• 51:50
  Classic spanky. Yeah, All right.
• 51:53
  So dude I like this because this is like where he gets spanky or
• 51:59
  Chris here and he just like trauma dumps on him hard.
• 52:03
  Love this because every time Chris interjects, gets the
• 52:08
  question or ends up a. Notch More.
• 52:10
  He doesn't actually respond to what Chris is saying because
• 52:14
  like, at one point Chris is like, should you be telling me
• 52:17
  this? And he's like, yes, I did commit
• 52:19
  vigilante. Just dude.
• 52:20
  Yeah, he's like, all right, I followed the axe murderer, you
• 52:24
  know, two weeks into a job is whenever I've experienced that
• 52:27
  shit. So it was pretty traumatizing.
• 52:29
  I took my shotgun, blasted him, didn't tell anybody about it,
• 52:32
  buried him in the backyard and that is where the sorority
• 52:37
  mother's. House Mother's cottages.
• 52:39
  Yeah and yeah. Perfect timing to cut to the
• 52:43
  house Mother's cottage. She's sitting there.
• 52:45
  She OK I guess this would be my second bad with the movie.
• 52:50
  This House Mother's way too sober.
• 52:53
  She is, yeah. That's not how house mothers are
• 52:55
  supposed to be. You're right that if he's doing
• 52:58
  the tropes, he missed this. One, yeah, but she's in there
• 53:01
  with her dog and then all of a sudden there's a blasting
• 53:04
  through the floor and it's the body of the axe killer I.
• 53:06
  Fucking love that dude. He acts as through the floor and
• 53:09
  then just arises. That is so cool.
• 53:12
  Yeah. And like, they act like you see
• 53:15
  him split her head and it's a good effect.
• 53:18
  Yeah, it was really well done. The cops are called to the
• 53:21
  cottage. Basically they're like, oh, the
• 53:23
  the dog ran out as soon as we got here.
• 53:26
  And that upset Talia. And this is she was like, that's
• 53:29
  not that's not loyalty. And.
• 53:31
  This is where the dude's super excited.
• 53:33
  Like man, she's chopping at so many pieces.
• 53:35
  Like if we use a stretcher for each piece we we wouldn't have
• 53:37
  enough stretchers. Yeah, and like, so Tom Atkins is
• 53:42
  like, OK, axe murderer right here, right where I buried then
• 53:44
  axe murderer. What's fucking happening?
• 53:47
  Meanwhile to the patrol, Cops are going back on patrol and as
• 53:51
  they're driving they see the zombie X murder.
• 53:55
  Of that. Shot and I love that I've pilot
• 53:57
  in Yeah, I love because other movies, again, they would have
• 54:00
  just had these cops he killed and then we've got like the
• 54:02
  zombie X murder. That's what I thought was gonna
• 54:04
  happen. I thought they stop and he was
• 54:05
  gonna go over there and axe his head off or something.
• 54:07
  But no, they drive off and they call it in.
• 54:10
  The cops strike him down. Tom Atkins strikes him down and
• 54:13
  they got him cornered in an alleyway.
• 54:14
  And this is where he like pulls a shotgun on him and he's like,
• 54:17
  that's the. Fucking thing.
• 54:18
  They all just blast. It's fucking Scarface, you know?
• 54:24
  And then they shoot him in the head.
• 54:25
  And then of course his head explodes and springs go.
• 54:28
  Everywhere. So JC never came back to the
• 54:30
  dorm. And Chris got us a tux now.
• 54:34
  But Chris has a tux, he's got a Chris Hodge.
• 54:36
  And then we got to getting ready montage.
• 54:39
  Yeah, for formal, the girls. Are getting ready, the bubbies
• 54:41
  are roughhousing and Chris is all by him, lonesome.
• 54:45
  Man, poor Chris. But he spots a tape recorder on
• 54:49
  J CS desk with a note that says listen and he hits play and it's
• 54:53
  JC who still had some of his mind when he was on the fight.
• 54:57
  He's like, I don't have a heartbeat.
• 54:59
  He's like I walked on my own. Yeah, that's fucking ridiculous
• 55:02
  right now. Like, I found out that fire
• 55:06
  kills them, so I'm going down to the furnace room and if I don't
• 55:11
  make it out, it'll at least burn them down there.
• 55:13
  And then Chris panics and runs down there and just finds
• 55:16
  Jaycee's body on the floor, collapsed.
• 55:19
  I was really hoping that maybe, maybe he survived because we
• 55:23
  don't see damage to his head. Oh, dude, yeah, You know, maybe
• 55:27
  they're setting that up, but maybe they just didn't go
• 55:30
  through with it. So oh God.
• 55:36
  I got Brad is bombed. Oh, he's bombed because he's
• 55:39
  like loaded. He's fucking wasted because he
• 55:41
  found out that Cindy is going to the formal.
• 55:44
  He is so fucking drunk and he is just like harassed, like outside
• 55:50
  trying to plan to harass her. Dude, I like out, but the dog
• 55:55
  comes by and then like he sees a slug and he like kneels down.
• 55:59
  He looks over at the dog and says did you fucking see that?
• 56:02
  Like I like how he has a moment. He shares the moment with the
• 56:04
  dog. And then I like that the dog's
• 56:06
  response is to open his mouth and shoot a slug.
• 56:09
  It's very much Talia when she threw up a leaf at me one time.
• 56:12
  Yeah, Yeah. And she went, That's how dogs
• 56:15
  do. That's how dogs do.
• 56:17
  So we get Zombie Brad. He knocks on the door to the
• 56:21
  sorority house and the girl's like, Cindy, Brad's here for
• 56:25
  you. And like, apparently nobody's
• 56:28
  actually looking Brad in the eyes because his eyes are rolled
• 56:30
  in the back of his head. He looks like a fucking.
• 56:32
  Zombie. They all fucking hate him.
• 56:34
  I know and Cindy, they've. Only been putting up with him
• 56:36
  because him and Cindy are dating.
• 56:37
  And Cindy doesn't want to make eye contact with him.
• 56:39
  She just walks by him slowly and grabs his hands and leads him to
• 56:42
  the steps. And they sit down together.
• 56:44
  And she's like, look, Brad, like, I don't know what to tell
• 56:47
  you. Like it's just, it's been weird.
• 56:51
  And then she looks over at Brad and we get Chris there with Ray.
• 56:56
  Yes, so what's been going on while Cindy's been having this
• 56:59
  talk is that it's important Chris went and told Ray what was
• 57:02
  on the tape. Ray.
• 57:04
  Ray had taped up his doorway and left his gas oven running and
• 57:10
  open. Fucking dark, man.
• 57:12
  That like that blue dark, because I didn't know know what
• 57:15
  was happening at first because we've, you know, he's been
• 57:17
  obviously depressed and dealing with like PTSD shit.
• 57:19
  From this whole. Incident but like that shot of
• 57:22
  him, like when Chris came there and told him what was going down
• 57:25
  and you see him like get his like trench coat and he's
• 57:27
  getting a shotgun and stuff. But like the zoom, like slowly
• 57:30
  into the oven, like, oh, he was fucking killing himself and goes
• 57:34
  over there and turns it all off and then boom, man, that was
• 57:37
  dark. So yeah, he's got, he's got a
• 57:39
  purpose again. He's like, all right, we're
• 57:41
  going to go get these motherfuckers.
• 57:43
  So they go and they get the the flamethrower from Dick Miller.
• 57:48
  Like we said before, his requisition is fantastic.
• 57:51
  I will love that scene, so good. And then a third thing that's
• 57:54
  happening as all this is going on is that the frat boys are in
• 57:57
  their bus. They swerve to avoid the dog,
• 58:00
  and they crash into a tow truck. Who is going to tow the bus away
• 58:04
  now? You know, it's unfortunate, but
• 58:10
  it had to be done for the dog. Even if it's a zombie dog.
• 58:12
  Yeah, still has to happen for the.
• 58:14
  Dog trolley problem and that's the correct answer it still
• 58:16
  applies to. I know there's supposed to be no
• 58:18
  correct answer to the trolley problem, but that's the correct
• 58:21
  answer. Yeah, that if you throw a dog
• 58:23
  into the equation, it's it's the correct answer.
• 58:26
  That's the correct. Yeah, I don't know why I started
• 58:28
  talking like that. All right, so now throw.
• 58:31
  A dog into the aquarium, it's like.
• 58:35
  I felt very smart and it made me very refined temporarily.
• 58:39
  Are you considering science now? Well, I mean, everything's
• 58:42
  science, apparently. So yeah, it's.
• 58:43
  Science. So you get it.
• 58:44
  Yeah, I guess I do. All right, so we're now tied
• 58:47
  back in. We now are at the front steps of
• 58:50
  the sorority house again. And then Chris and Ray show up
• 58:53
  and like, hey, look out fucking zombie behind you.
• 58:55
  And they blast his head and then, yeah, so it's like a 1-2
• 58:59
  punch. Ray has the shotgun, Chris has
• 59:01
  the flamethrower. So they just like flame the
• 59:03
  slugs right away. Ray goes inside to help the rest
• 59:08
  of the sorority women and Chris get.
• 59:10
  That bad ass line. Yeah, and he's like, good news,
• 59:14
  your dates are here. Bad news, Bad news, there's
• 59:17
  zombies. Fucking awesome.
• 59:19
  And Chris gives Cindy the flamethrower.
• 59:23
  She's like, you'll feel better with this.
• 59:25
  So they are, you know, fighting the beta zombies as they're
• 59:28
  approaching the house. And we've got like moments
• 59:31
  inside, too, because the studious sister, I don't know
• 59:34
  what her name is, I just keep writing her as the studious one.
• 59:37
  She goes to close maybe. Yeah, whatever.
• 59:40
  She goes to close the same door that has always been an issue.
• 59:44
  She stay away from this story because it's just bad.
• 59:46
  Stuff that happens, yeah, one of them blasts through and this is
• 59:50
  fucking badass Tom Atkins moment cuz he takes his cigar out,
• 59:54
  grabs a can of Hairspray from one of them and just makes a
• 59:58
  little mini flame. I love that so much, yeah.
• 1:00:02
  And then she turns into a zombie and tackles him.
• 1:00:05
  He's like reaching for his gun. This is a nice little struggle
• 1:00:07
  there. And he looks up and he sees the
• 1:00:09
  old composite photo with Pam in it.
• 1:00:12
  Oh, yeah. And that gives him the strength.
• 1:00:14
  I wrote that he shoots through his trauma in this moment.
• 1:00:17
  He does, man. He gets on a little Dolly and
• 1:00:19
  he's doing the spins and he's just just fine.
• 1:00:21
  It's like handgun everywhere in a big circle.
• 1:00:24
  Yeah, it's effective. It is.
• 1:00:26
  So Chris and Cindy have defeated all of the ones that they can.
• 1:00:30
  The pilot light goes out in the God damn flamethrowers.
• 1:00:33
  So they run and they hide in the little garden shed.
• 1:00:36
  But the garden shed is flimsy. So whatever extra budget they
• 1:00:39
  had for this scene, it was I don't know if to build a good
• 1:00:42
  shed it. Was also a terrible plan because
• 1:00:44
  like me even Chris is like why the fuck did we do this?
• 1:00:46
  Because they're cornered in this weak ass little thing they're
• 1:00:48
  busting in. She takes the flamethrower
• 1:00:51
  directly to the head of one of the zombies and just explodes
• 1:00:54
  it, which is really fucking awesome.
• 1:00:55
  Yeah, he takes a lawnmower and then just like, mows one of the
• 1:00:58
  other zombies, and that's also awesome.
• 1:01:00
  And then they see a bunch of the slugs going towards the basement
• 1:01:03
  and he's like, what the fuck would they want in the basement?
• 1:01:06
  And me, you and Cindy all at the same time said, Oh no, it's the
• 1:01:10
  brains. And this is fucking nasty.
• 1:01:13
  So like they go into the house. Which, OK, I was making the
• 1:01:17
  science jokes today, right? But apparently I made the joke
• 1:01:20
  in my notes 2 days ago because I wrote science brains.
• 1:01:24
  Aren't all brain science brains, Jesse?
• 1:01:27
  I don't know, have you heard yourself talk sometimes?
• 1:01:30
  Well, man, that may be the exception.
• 1:01:34
  Yeah. OK, so Chris and Cindy go into
• 1:01:36
  the house. They're like, all right,
• 1:01:37
  everybody out and they clear the house and they go down to the
• 1:01:41
  basement and they just see Ray down there with the cast
• 1:01:43
  canister just like throwing things like gas around.
• 1:01:47
  He's got a piece of duct tape over his mouth.
• 1:01:50
  And he's just smart. I get out, Yeah.
• 1:01:53
  And then eventually he was like, you guys need to go.
• 1:01:56
  He's like, I got this, I'm doing the right thing.
• 1:01:58
  Counting down from 15, it's like 15, 14 and then Chris gets he's.
• 1:02:02
  Counting down from 30. Whatever, man.
• 1:02:05
  Half that. He's saying.
• 1:02:07
  Either way, he's counting down and they get the message.
• 1:02:09
  They're like, OK, we got to get the fuck out.
• 1:02:11
  He's going to blow himself up. He found the cost this time.
• 1:02:13
  You know, he's killing himself in a way that is it's.
• 1:02:16
  A sacrifice. Yeah, so they make it outside
• 1:02:18
  the house and he boasts it up. The house goes kaboom.
• 1:02:23
  Yeah, and they were all watching the fire.
• 1:02:26
  And they kiss. They share a kiss.
• 1:02:28
  Finally. Chris and Cindy not like the
• 1:02:30
  whole crowd, yeah. Yeah.
• 1:02:31
  And I think we still get the dog walk up, but it's not a zombie,
• 1:02:35
  it's still a zombie dog. But I don't think they're aware
• 1:02:37
  that zombie dog. Yeah, instead, the version we
• 1:02:41
  watched, it cut to a very, very crispy ray that was walking down
• 1:02:46
  the. Street.
• 1:02:47
  You know, I didn't think at first it was like a zombie
• 1:02:49
  version of him. I was like, man, did he like, is
• 1:02:51
  he Michael Myers? I was like, wow, that's got
• 1:02:53
  hurt. So I was going through my head.
• 1:02:55
  I was like, that skin will just like peel off.
• 1:02:58
  Head cannon. This is like his transformation
• 1:03:00
  in the Loomis. This this universe is Loomis.
• 1:03:03
  He's got the scars. This is going to be Halloween 4
• 1:03:05
  Loomis. He's going to be off the rails.
• 1:03:07
  Well, he would be, if it weren't for the fact that he's about to
• 1:03:12
  collapse and his head pop open into a bunch of brand slugs.
• 1:03:16
  There's still a chance. Yeah, and it happens to be right
• 1:03:19
  next to the cemetery and they all crawl there.
• 1:03:23
  You get the flash from the UFO. Cuz I got a little spotlight,
• 1:03:26
  yeah. And then just the giant
• 1:03:28
  spaceship just flies over the cemetery.
• 1:03:31
  And that's how the movie ends. God I fucking love this movie.
• 1:03:35
  Yeah, it's a lot of fun. I'm keeping a 9.75, I think it's
• 1:03:39
  real strong. I'll make it a 9925.
• 1:03:44
  I like this. I like this movie a whole.
• 1:03:46
  I'm glad that we watched it. So new average 9.5.
• 1:03:49
  What is one thing you would change to bump it up even more?
• 1:03:53
  I would have kept JC. I get that you need to have them
• 1:03:57
  like, be like you. You got to have characters that
• 1:04:00
  can go to give it some like. It's that classic trope of like
• 1:04:05
  he it stakes, but also like that's what's going to push
• 1:04:09
  Chris's character arc. He needed that.
• 1:04:11
  Yeah, he he did need that. It's kind.
• 1:04:13
  Of like when we watched fuck, what was it?
• 1:04:16
  The What's the 1999 movie? There's not the movie.
• 1:04:21
  No, the 1:00 where they're at the house where we watched it
• 1:04:23
  not that long ago. It's on New Year's Eve.
• 1:04:29
  Oh Y 2. KY 2K yeah, and all of that.
• 1:04:32
  He needed his best friend to die so.
• 1:04:34
  He could. I always like what the fuck?
• 1:04:35
  And you're like, it's part of his character.
• 1:04:36
  Like Jesse? He needed to do.
• 1:04:39
  He needed the strength. Yeah, no, you're right.
• 1:04:41
  He did. Like he can't have Jason in your
• 1:04:43
  life forever. You got to sometimes learn how
• 1:04:45
  to do it yourself. And that's what he does.
• 1:04:46
  You're right, it is necessary. But like I said before, I would
• 1:04:49
  have more dance. I would have like had them like
• 1:04:51
  the zombie scratch the dance. Yeah, I.
• 1:04:53
  Think that would have been cool that.
• 1:04:54
  Would have been fun, yeah. There's not much I would do with
• 1:04:57
  this movie. I mean, this movie does a lot
• 1:04:58
  well. A fun moment too, where they're
• 1:05:00
  like checking IDs or whatever at the door for like the ones that
• 1:05:03
  are of age and like one of them like walks past and it's a
• 1:05:06
  zombie and the bouncer's like, hey, hold on a second, and then
• 1:05:08
  the zombie like. His head busts.
• 1:05:12
  Up right in front of him does something like that, yeah.
• 1:05:15
  No, I like I would the way that this scene would happen.
• 1:05:18
  He like hands in the ID and then he like looks at the ID and then
• 1:05:21
  like the camera pans down and it's the head split open and
• 1:05:24
  he's like that doesn't look right.
• 1:05:26
  This isn't the same guy. This is a fake tell you.
• 1:05:30
  What's happening? She she let out a series of
• 1:05:33
  boofs. Boofs.
• 1:05:35
  She boofed. She boofed.
• 1:05:37
  She let us know. She was like, I'm on alert, but
• 1:05:40
  I like this movie. I don't want to disrupt it, but
• 1:05:44
  I'm going to boof at it because it's scary.
• 1:05:47
  Yeah, and like animals are being affected.
• 1:05:50
  Yeah, like they are being killed and they are being zombies.
• 1:05:52
  That's stakes for her. That's true.
• 1:05:54
  This movie had sticks for both of them.
• 1:05:56
  Cats. And dogs, yeah, and even with
• 1:05:58
  the black cat, like Zoe and Talia have entered an alliance
• 1:06:01
  now. They used to fight the most
• 1:06:05
  because Zoe had she had a potty situation that resulted in an
• 1:06:10
  emergency bath dude. That's why Scout's been so
• 1:06:13
  pissed lately, because. She doesn't have anyone on her
• 1:06:16
  side. Yeah.
• 1:06:18
  Scout's been in the mood here lately, and she's just been
• 1:06:20
  angry. She's been grumpy.
• 1:06:22
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:06:24
  So I think, like, on top of seeing the dog, she also saw the
• 1:06:27
  cat be zombified. And she was just like, man,
• 1:06:30
  these stakes are too high. So I think Talia really enjoyed
• 1:06:33
  this. I think she did too.
• 1:06:34
  I think she would give it. I think you should give it an 8
• 1:06:40
  1/2. OK.
• 1:06:41
  Yeah. And Zoe's Ultimate Warrior is
• 1:06:44
  the cat that was Zoe in this movie.
• 1:06:46
  Yeah. I mean, she related.
• 1:06:48
  So after that. Yeah.
• 1:06:49
  Yeah. OK.
• 1:06:51
  OK, now. Who did you relate to?
• 1:06:55
  I who did that relate to? And obviously I related to the
• 1:07:02
  scientist doing science things in the science building.
• 1:07:06
  I guess I would relate to JC in the sense that the only reason I
• 1:07:12
  rushed to fraternity was because a friend of mine wanted to not
• 1:07:15
  do it alone and I went ahead and rushed with him.
• 1:07:21
  Plus to meet all the women. That was true too, but.
• 1:07:26
  Look how that worked out for you it.
• 1:07:27
  Worked out fantastic. Yeah, you were my Cindy.
• 1:07:31
  Yeah. And the The funny thing is that
• 1:07:34
  friend didn't even do it. They packed out of it halfway
• 1:07:39
  through. So yeah, that, that that's what
• 1:07:41
  I would relate to. What about you?
• 1:07:46
  Oh, are you using science? Yeah.
• 1:07:47
  Yeah, OK. If you want the serious answer,
• 1:07:49
  probably Samantha because. Studying and having the cat,
• 1:07:53
  yeah. OK, because I probably wouldn't
• 1:07:55
  have gotten through grad school without Scout judging me as I
• 1:07:58
  worked on statistics. That's true, you do have
• 1:08:01
  problems with doors. Also that.
• 1:08:06
  OK, dream sequel. OK.
• 1:08:11
  I like your idea of picking back up with Tom Atkins.
• 1:08:14
  Yeah, man, I mean, bring him back.
• 1:08:17
  They've been wanting like the cast has been wanting them to
• 1:08:20
  do, and nine of the Creeps too, for a while.
• 1:08:22
  OK. So yeah, so we we pick back up,
• 1:08:27
  we got to go like another 27 years in the future or whatever.
• 1:08:31
  How do you do that though, man, with the way that things left
• 1:08:33
  off, you can't just like let it marinate that long.
• 1:08:36
  I mean, it kind of does in the movie anyways.
• 1:08:37
  Like the outbreak happens, but they catch it and they preserve
• 1:08:40
  it and then it is unleashed again.
• 1:08:44
  So like. OK, so let's assume that they go
• 1:08:48
  with the theatrical cut as last ending.
• 1:08:51
  OK. So the dog is shooting the slugs
• 1:08:54
  out. They take out Cindy.
• 1:08:56
  I want both to be Canon though. Yeah.
• 1:08:59
  Like we see that, but what I mean the whole thing with.
• 1:09:01
  Him maybe that's where we pick up.
• 1:09:03
  Then like we see the dogs, they're freaking out because the
• 1:09:06
  dog has spit out the slug at Cindy and they're dealing with
• 1:09:08
  that, and then they learn that there's also slugs at the
• 1:09:10
  cemetery and they've got to go fight all of the zombies in the
• 1:09:14
  cemetery. I, like, kind of do like a
• 1:09:16
  Return of the Living dead thing where like just they're looking
• 1:09:19
  for a place for like the secret refuge and they go to the
• 1:09:21
  cemetery. Yeah, You guys are like, there's
• 1:09:23
  just nobody alive there. That would be such a dumb
• 1:09:27
  decision knowing that like it can bring back the dead.
• 1:09:30
  I don't think some of them know that though.
• 1:09:32
  I think some of them just think they're just like zombies, like
• 1:09:34
  just random like killer people or whatever.
• 1:09:36
  Yeah, so if we kill off Cindy and Chris, then we don't have
• 1:09:41
  anybody there that knows that it's gonna.
• 1:09:43
  Raise Dead 2 and Raise Dead He could come back as a zombified
• 1:09:45
  version. And that's what I'm saying like
• 1:09:47
  we can still keep the cast there cuz they come back as zombies.
• 1:09:50
  I would like them to like, regain their humanity and have
• 1:09:53
  JC do the same. Like JC we never saw like, you
• 1:09:57
  know, like he could have gotten up and like, something could
• 1:10:00
  have happened. I don't know.
• 1:10:01
  Maybe the aliens, like the good aliens from the opening.
• 1:10:05
  I come back and they're like, hey, like they, they have like a
• 1:10:08
  cure. I don't know.
• 1:10:10
  I don't know. They're aliens.
• 1:10:11
  Yeah, the far aliens come back. They've got a cure for the
• 1:10:13
  brain's legs. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:10:15
  And it's like a. That's what.
• 1:10:16
  That's what the light was, dude. So we have like 2 factions, we
• 1:10:19
  have the bad aliens and the good aliens and they like have their
• 1:10:22
  own like army like human people and then they like have their
• 1:10:25
  own war. In the battlefield is a
• 1:10:27
  cemetery. I love it.
• 1:10:29
  There we go. There we go.
• 1:10:30
  OK, we got him. Hit us up.
• 1:10:32
  Fred Decker. Yeah, baby.
• 1:10:35
  OK. And tag on.
• 1:10:39
  OK. Classic Atkins.
• 1:10:43
  So classic spanky. Putting the science Science
• 1:10:46
  fiction. That's what we're doing, Yeah,
• 1:10:57
  It makes sense if it was like a song type thing.
• 1:10:59
  But the ear worm that'll blow your mind?
• 1:11:01
  That's what I was like, trying to think of like something like
• 1:11:04
  that, but it's not. It's not an ear worm.
• 1:11:06
  Yeah, all the college classics, formals, hazing, slugging
• 1:11:12
  contests. That's a long tagline.
• 1:11:16
  OK, I think you could probably make that work.
• 1:11:18
  I would just have to do it with the formatting to have it on the
• 1:11:23
  side. I'm not gonna come up with
• 1:11:25
  anything better. Than that so you.
• 1:11:26
  Know, let's just do that. That's fine.
• 1:11:28
  I mean, we got slugs and it's college, so we got chugging, so
• 1:11:31
  it just feels like we need to find a way to make that work.
• 1:11:34
  Yeah. OK, there we go.
• 1:11:35
  We got it. All right, all right.
• 1:11:37
  Time for reviews. Yes, all right.
• 1:11:40
  I panicked. For a second.
• 1:11:41
  I was like, I didn't get reviews.
• 1:11:42
  And then I remembered this wasn't my movie.
• 1:11:43
  This is me. All right, Let's see.
• 1:11:47
  So I wasn't sure where you were on this movie.
• 1:11:50
  So I got one that was kind of middle of the pack.
• 1:11:52
  The five out of 10 on IMDb reviewed in September 2020.
• 1:11:56
  So somebody was looking for something to do during COVID.
• 1:12:00
  Certainly watchable, but not an outstanding horror comedy.
• 1:12:04
  Is the title Strange why? I've actually never gotten
• 1:12:07
  around to watch The 19 The 1986 Night of the Creeps, especially
• 1:12:10
  since I love zombie movies and I always watch a lot of horror
• 1:12:13
  movies and grew up on horror movies.
• 1:12:15
  Regardless, I was given the chance to sit down and watch
• 1:12:18
  Night of the Creeps and now in 2020 and I was aware of the
• 1:12:21
  movie by its title, I just never had the opportunity to watch it
• 1:12:24
  before. So how was it?
• 1:12:26
  Well, none of the Creeps from the writer and director Fred
• 1:12:29
  Decker was watchable for sure, but this was by no means an
• 1:12:32
  overly outstanding movie. It proved entertaining enough
• 1:12:35
  for what it was, a semi cheesy mid 80s horror comedy movie.
• 1:12:39
  However, the movie just failed to deliver that necessary punch
• 1:12:42
  to make it memorable. It was actually fun to watch
• 1:12:45
  Jason Lively in a movie such as this, as I have only been
• 1:12:49
  familiar with him from the National Lampoon's Vacation
• 1:12:52
  movies. And with this being a mid 80s
• 1:12:55
  movie, of course you had a familiar face such as actor Tom
• 1:12:58
  Atkins in the movie. The special effects in the movie
• 1:13:00
  were actually rather good, especially for a movie from 86.
• 1:13:03
  I will say that the effects actually still hold themselves
• 1:13:06
  up even now in 2020. All in all, Night of the Creeps
• 1:13:09
  turned out to be a mediocre movie experience for me.
• 1:13:11
  It was watchable, yes, but it just hadn't those particular
• 1:13:15
  ingredients to make it truly unique.
• 1:13:18
  I am rating Night of the Creeps and Mediocre 5 out of 10.
• 1:13:21
  I don't know. I think it's fine.
• 1:13:23
  I think it does have the punch. I think it does too.
• 1:13:25
  I think it just has to like, it has to be your type of movie,
• 1:13:30
  you know what I mean? I guess that's true.
• 1:13:31
  I guess you have to be like a particular type of person to
• 1:13:34
  really fully appreciate what it's doing.
• 1:13:38
  Yeah, I mean, like, well, I mean this person says like that's the
• 1:13:41
  type of movie that they like. So I don't know, maybe it just
• 1:13:44
  doesn't have for some people. I think it also could be one of
• 1:13:46
  those ones like it's hyped up a lot by people and maybe it's
• 1:13:49
  just one that doesn't meet the expectations that some people
• 1:13:52
  said. I guess that can also be a thing
• 1:13:54
  that. I had to.
• 1:13:55
  Sorry. Yeah.
• 1:13:55
  I hadn't really said anything about this movie to you.
• 1:13:57
  I just like. We're gonna watch Night of the
• 1:13:59
  Creeps. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:14:01
  And going into blind, I was very, like, pleasantly
• 1:14:04
  surprised. Yeah, if I'd heard it was one of
• 1:14:07
  the best, like, cult movies of all time.
• 1:14:09
  Which I don't think anybody's even saying that, but like,
• 1:14:12
  people are just like, it's a fun movie.
• 1:14:13
  It's a good movie. And, you know, I don't think,
• 1:14:16
  like, if that's the reputation it has to live up to, I think it
• 1:14:19
  does a great job. It meets that expectation.
• 1:14:22
  And I don't know, depending on who you are, like us, it might
• 1:14:25
  exceed that. Good, great movie.
• 1:14:27
  Yeah. It's a really fantastic movie
• 1:14:29
  for us. Yeah, OK.
• 1:14:31
  But yeah, I mean, special effects, I agree.
• 1:14:34
  I mean, they had a hell of a team on this.
• 1:14:36
  They had some of the all time greats of that era of horror
• 1:14:40
  movies. They were talking about that.
• 1:14:42
  I guess it kind of reminded me of like hearing the Tremors.
• 1:14:45
  Yeah, special effects team talking about it because they're
• 1:14:47
  like, we were in like a period of that industry where they
• 1:14:50
  like, they let us do what we wanted to do.
• 1:14:53
  Yeah. Like it was like a hot thing.
• 1:14:56
  People were able to like, do practical effects and like, you
• 1:14:59
  can get like silly with it and stuff too.
• 1:15:01
  And it's like, it's different today.
• 1:15:03
  Today we get show like Anaconda. Anaconda was in 1997 dude.
• 1:15:08
  That is. A modern movie.
• 1:15:10
  Well, I know, but like only like that was like a decade later,
• 1:15:13
  you know what I mean? It's.
• 1:15:14
  Kind of Anaconda is closer to Night of the Creeps than it is
• 1:15:17
  today. Don't hurt me.
• 1:15:21
  Oh, man. OK.
• 1:15:22
  All right. Oh, now it's time for a list of
• 1:15:25
  reviews. Yeah.
• 1:15:26
  Yeah, Yeah, you did put out a call for those.
• 1:15:28
  I did, yes. And I did get one.
• 1:15:30
  It was from Cube saves. OK, who says this movie rules
• 1:15:34
  ass? And then he followed up because
• 1:15:39
  we're talking about Tom Atkins and he says he has an action
• 1:15:42
  figure and it comes with a can of beer.
• 1:15:45
  Yes. That's my favorite.
• 1:15:48
  Fucking thing that's perfect if you're.
• 1:15:49
  Gonna give Tom Atkins an accessory.
• 1:15:51
  It's either gonna be a shotgun or a beer, or preferably both.
• 1:15:55
  Yes. But that is amazing.
• 1:15:57
  I love that. That's beautiful, Yeah.
• 1:16:00
  OK, All right, so that's it for Night of the Creeps.
• 1:16:04
  Like we said this Sunday, we're gonna be doing our to be or not
• 1:16:06
  to be? Don't know yet what that what
• 1:16:10
  we're covering and then next week we are doing our Patreon

  voted episode and it is going to be urban legend 3 Bloody Mary
• 1:16:20
  that's. Right.
• 1:16:20
  We're skipping 2, going straight to three.
• 1:16:22
  We'll come back to two eventually.
• 1:16:24
  We can do this. Shit, we happened to just like
• 1:16:26
  we picked it up at Half Price Books and we're like, oh shit,
• 1:16:30

• 1:16:36
  working out. Yeah, OK, so right now you can

  option? Yeah, if you like ads.
• 1:16:51
