  Speaker 3: I'm an April.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: Welcome to Movie Meltdown Sofa Theater. Once again, I am Brian.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: That's Roger.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I am Misty.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: And Marlene has gotten lost since the last time. She
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: went to go hang out with dinosaurs. She gets easily distracted.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: There were shiny things. She went shopping without me.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: Probably. All right, so this week's Silver Theater feature is
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: April Fool's Day, and I am nominating it as one
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: of the video boxes that warped my brain. Yeah, definitely.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: It is one of the best visual concepts for a box,
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: and most people that saw it probably saw it on VHS.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: I can't think of anybody I knew at the time
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: who actually went to the theater and saw this movie,
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: so it's It's probably one you picked up on VHS,
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: and more than likely it's because the box art was
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: just so, I don't know. What the hell? Yeah, it
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: just sucks you in. You have to know.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know that I ever saw the box art.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: It was on the menu page. It's them all sitting
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: at the table, and she's standing, her standing in front
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: of them, and yeah, the back of her hair is
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: braided like a noose. Oh, yeah. She's on the knife-y.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: It's pretty awesome. So, yep, it's very simple and perfect.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: Horror movie kind of, it suckers you in. This movie does. So,
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: the year is 1986. Director Fred Walton and, I guess, plot.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Let's see. We'll go with the, there was a pretty
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: simple IMDb plot here. Let's see. A group of nine
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: college students staying at a friend's remote island mansion begin
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: to fall victim to an unseen murder over April Fool's
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Day weekend. We'll leave it at that. And then we
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: will throw out a huge spoiler alert.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: It's hard to talk about this movie without letting it
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: out of the bag.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: And it's one of those, you know, you can only
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: see it that first time once. So, you know, go
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: and watch it before you listen to us totally go
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: to town on it. You have been warned. Moving on. So,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: all right, Misty.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I hated this movie.
• 3:59
  Speaker 8: For the love of fucking Christ, every character in this
• 4:02
  Speaker 8: movie could not die fast enough.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: And then at the end, it was just a big disappointment.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: They were super disappointed because none of them actually died
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: at all.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I know. I was so pissed.
• 4:10
  Speaker 8: I was like, oh, my God, are you serious? I
• 4:12
  Speaker 8: was so excited that I actually thought these fuckers were
• 4:14
  Speaker 8: going to die.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Fucking movie.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I hated this movie. I hated everything about it.
• 4:20
  Speaker 12: It was a good time. How could you hate it?
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
• 4:24
  Speaker 12: Do you like slasher movies at all?
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I do. I love slasher movies. That's why I.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: Don't understand how you can hate this movie. Because slasher
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: movies notoriously have bad characters you want to die.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: But at least they usually die.
• 4:35
  Speaker 12: Yeah, but that's the good twist.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: On the end.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: No, I wanted them dead. That's the thing.
• 4:40
  Speaker 12: I wanted them dead.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: So I guess basically if we turn it off at
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: a certain point, then you would have been like, that
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: was good.
• 4:47
  Speaker 8: I watched it and it wouldn't go that far. The
• 4:50
  Speaker 8: only redeemable quality for this movie was the song at
• 4:52
  Speaker 8: the end.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: The song is awesome. It's a great song. We're definitely
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: going out on that song.
• 4:56
  Speaker 12: Oh, fuck yeah. It makes so much sense.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I hated this movie. I hated everything. I hated everything. Everything.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: See, I don't understand that. Everything.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Everything.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: Because this is, 90% of it is just a traditional
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: slasher movie.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: Which I liked, you know, because I kind of like
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: how it started out. I mean, I remember the first
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: time I ever saw it, you know, when it was
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: on VHS. And, of course, somebody rented it. Somebody's parents
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: rented it for us for some reason because we were
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: too young to watch or supposed to be watching these
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: types of movies.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Of course.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: And I just remember the guy getting his face crushed
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: by the.
• 5:34
  Speaker 12: Boat or whatever the hell happened when he was down there.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: I remember that really freaked me out because, you know,
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: I kind of thought, like, God, what if I was
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: out having fun with my friends? And then something horribly
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: terrible happened like that.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: A boat hit you in the face.
• 5:49
  Speaker 12: A lot of people wish a boat would hit me
• 5:50
  Speaker 12: in the face.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: All of a sudden your friend's eyeball was hanging out. Well, especially, yeah,
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: the whole eyeball hanging out.
• 5:55
  Speaker 12: I was like, oh, my God, please get him to
• 5:56
  Speaker 12: a doctor as fast as possible. But, you know, that
• 5:59
  Speaker 12: kind of freaked me out.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: And so, I don't know, I probably like this movie
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: because I've had, you know, a longer standing history of, Yeah.
• 6:06
  Speaker 12: You know, I remember way back when, and I liked
• 6:08
  Speaker 12: it back then.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: Especially the whole payoff at the end I thought was
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: good because I liked how they were all just sitting around, like,
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: playing chess or building card houses or whatever, and the
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: one dude just standing against the wall drinking by himself, like.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: What? It's almost like surreal at that moment.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, totally.
• 6:26
  Speaker 12: Because she's screaming like nuts.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: They're going through the motions of like talking, but they're not.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Not talking, yeah. It's like this little dream that she's
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: in the middle of all of a sudden.
• 6:34
  Speaker 12: Which you get caught up in because you yourself are like,
• 6:36
  Speaker 12: what the.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: Fuck is going on? Yeah, what the hell happened?
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah. And I like that, you know, because not many
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: movies can take you there like, I mean, you know,
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: that whole twist at the end, you know.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: See, this was the twist at the end before it
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: was fashionable to have a twist at the end. This
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: was a twist at the end when they didn't have
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: one before, really, and there was not another one like
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: this for another, like, 20 years, really. It's like they didn't,
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: it wasn't the stupid thing to do, really, was to
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: have that kind of massive twist at the end.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but even with the twist, I just didn't care.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I was just like, ugh.
• 7:07
  Speaker 8: I was aggravated at the movie. Because unlike most slashers,
• 7:10
  Speaker 8: you don't see anybody die at any point.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: But now it makes sense. Because I remember watching it
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: this past time, looking at it, and like, well, it
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: is different from most lectures because they don't, you get
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: the gore, but it's all after the fact. And then
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: it makes sense by the end of the movie. There's
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: a reason you don't see them die. Fuckers. Yeah.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I'm mad at this movie. Stupid, stupid movie.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: See, I wondered if it was just seeing it now.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: Because that's the thing, Marlena seemed kind of annoyed at
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: this movie too. And you two had never seen it before.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: Roger and I have both seen it.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: Because, I mean, movies that have come out now and
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: how movies are now, I mean, definitely the whole twist
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: thing is done to death. And so, yeah, like way
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: back in the day, like this was like awesome.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: This was groundbreaking. Yeah, really.
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: Especially because it was a slasher flick that wasn't a
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: slasher flick. And, you know, thinking back now, like seeing,
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: I can't remember her name. The chick that was from
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: Friday the 13th Part II.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Part II.
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: You know, and she was like a big scream queen
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: or whatever back then.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:13
  Speaker 12: I was glad to see that she was in it.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: Well, this is like a whole cast of, oh, it's
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: that person.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Because you've got like the.
• 8:19
  Speaker 12: Biff from Back to the Future.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you've got Biff, who, we'll go into him in
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: a minute. You've got Debra Foreman's your valet girl. So
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: if Jay was here, he could once again talk about
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: valet girl.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: The guy's like, oh, it's that guy from summer school. Oh,
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: it's that girl from Friday the 13th too. It's like
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: a whole collection of these people that were like. in
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: the movie that was popular last year. They took everybody
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: that was sort of a side character. None of these
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: were real stars. Their performance kind of the closest thing,
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: and she disappeared at this point. This was kind of
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: the end of it. She was big for a two,
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: three year span, and then disappeared again.
• 8:54
  Speaker 12: I think she just got sick of it. Literally, it
• 8:56
  Speaker 12: was like, I'm done.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Did you ever watch the remake of this movie? Did
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: it have the same twist?
• 9:02
  Speaker 12: Well, I don't want to watch it.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: Do we want to go ahead and go into that
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: one now? Yeah, let's just attack that.
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: We'll come back to the other version here.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: But yeah, so just this week, that was one of the,
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: I said there were a couple of things I watched
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: that I was going to wait and go into, one
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: of which was the new version, the, what was it,
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: 2007 or 8? It was in the past couple of
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: years they did the new version of April Fool's Day. Wow.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: I was given fair warning in the last week or
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: two when I mentioned it. I think Barb and Eskimo
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: got a hold of me on Twitter and were like, dude,
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: really don't watch that. Seriously, save yourself.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: So, of course, you dove right in.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: For the sake of the show, I will take one
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: for the team, damn it. I wasn't going to make
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: you guys suffer, but I will take one for the team.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: So I went ahead to watch it just to be
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: able to discuss it and, you know, reflecting upon this movie.
• 9:56
  Speaker 13: Wow.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: They were not kidding. If you think you hate these characters,
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: holy shit, you need to watch the remake. They are,
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: at least these characters are like, the 80s version is
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: like this conglomeration of like every little... caricature 80s person.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: The jock. Yeah, you got the jock, you got the
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: guy with the camera. All of a sudden, every movie
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: had to have a guy with a camera in it
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: in the 80s. You've got the slutty girl, you've got the...
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: The prankster or whatever. Yeah, the couple. So it's like
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: everybody is represented in that one, but it's all kind
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: of normal. I didn't go out of my way to
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: hate any of them. They were all douchebags, but I
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: didn't like... These kids in the new one are like.
• 10:34
  Speaker 12: Over the top type?
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: No, it's an entirely different setup. The new one is
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: all super... high society. Like, everybody is super upscale.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Oh, no.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: It's like the whole cast of, like, fucking Gossip Girl, basically.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: It's not.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's not any of these people, but that's
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: what it is. It's all these little WB kind of
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: pretty people.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: And every one of them is, like, fucking rich. Like,
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: way more rich. You know, they be... heirs to the
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: entire company kind of rich, and each one of these
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: kids falls into that category, and they all drive their
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: fancy cars, and it starts off at the debutante ball
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: for one of them, and it's, yeah, I mean, the
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: entire thing exists in this world, so you already don't
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: like these characters, and then You spend all this time
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: in their little fancy world, and you're just like, oh, God,
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: fucking die.
• 11:24
  Speaker 12: Yeah, please die. For real, die.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so there's no comparing the two. If you want
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: to hate some people, watch that remake. Jesus, they're annoying.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: You think you hate them now? And they don't even...
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: And once again, I get pissed off when they make
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: remakes because I don't like either extreme. I don't like
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: when you do a straight shot-for-shot remake because it's boring.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: I don't like when they don't... All you need to
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: do with a remake is take the good idea, the
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: basic element... Get what you need to get out of it,
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: but then go your own way with it. Don't just
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: rip off the name. Because that's basically what they do.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: The name and that's about it. Maybe later there comes
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: a little bit in. But for the most part, it
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: starts off and they're really kind of ripping off, actually
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: more of like I Know What You Did Last Summer.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, that movie was awesome though.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, this is No I Know What You Did
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: Last Summer, let me tell you. That's a cheesy movie.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: I like that one. This is No I Know What
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: You Did Last Summer. So, yeah, they're tapping into that
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: stuff really heavy. And then as the killing starts, it's
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: almost got little moments of final destination. Like there's one
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: or two kills that just feel like you're watching final
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: destination like cut out scenes. It's like, yeah, it's such
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: a weird grouping. And then the only name even in
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: it is freaking Halloween girl. What's her name? Scout. Yeah, Scout. Scout.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: Which Scout, I was never big on Scout anyway. I
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: said that in Halloween movies. But like, something, she might
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: have had like the same thing going on with, what's
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: your boy from the sci-fi movies now?
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Sean Patrick Flynn?
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, she might have the same thing. She's got this
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: weird puffy face thing going on.
• 13:01
  Speaker 12: She's allergic to air.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: I guess. It was just, her face looks weird in
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: that whole movie. She just like, I'm like, I don't
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: remember her looking like that in Halloween. What the hell
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: happened during this shoot? But she looks weird. And there's
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: a whole bunch of nobodies. So it's just a big mess. Yeah,
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: it's just not fun in any way, shape, or form.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: There's one little moment in the middle where it's almost
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: a clever scene where they think they know who the
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: killer is and then it takes this weird little turn.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: There's one part that's almost like, wow, that would be
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: cool in a better movie. I hope they tackled it right. Yeah,
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: so if you get midway in and you see that scene,
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: that's it. It's all downhill from there.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: So how did they end the remake?
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: Okay, double spoiler alert. We'll throw that out too. It's
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: not really, again, it's not the same way they do here.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: They.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: go through this whole thing, they've got all their tracking,
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: they try to pull this version, but they do it
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: a different way, it's like they're, there's somebody trying to
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: kill them all, because they, they kill some girl in
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: an accident in the beginning, and then a year later, they.
• 14:04
  Speaker 14: Start getting notes, that's what I'm saying, it's exactly, a
• 14:08
  Speaker 14: year later, they start getting these notes, just like, and
• 14:11
  Speaker 14: I know what you did last summer, that are like, blah, blah,
• 14:13
  Speaker 14: I don't know, then they have to meet at.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: The cemetery, and then, There's this whole convoluted bunch of
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: shit that goes on. They're following somebody around the whole time,
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: and they think they know who it is. I saw
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: what happened last year. Yeah, it's retarded. So by the end,
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: they get to where they get the main girl who
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: kind of looks like Tiffany Amber Thiessen, but not so trashy.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: She's sort of attractive, but it doesn't save her because
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: she's horrible in this movie. But they've got her, and
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: she's tied up, and she finally confesses to what she
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: did that screwed everything up. And then they're all, ha ha,
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: it was a joke. And then everybody who got killed
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: wasn't killed. But then in the end, they actually killed her. Oh, God.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: And one kid did it to inherit money or something.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: So yeah, if I get there, it's spoiled.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Who cares?
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: It's retarded. I'm spoiled. But it's not this thing. It's
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: not what they did in this movie. So it really
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: is just like, again, now it makes no sense. Now
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: it's just another stupid twist because we've seen.
• 15:09
  Speaker 13: A hundred of them since then.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: But what they did in this movie and in the
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: 86 version is a very different thing. In my mind,
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: it's a very different thing.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I still hated it.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: We can go through a few of the specifics along
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: the way. We get this sort of, again, every kid
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: has a video camera in the movies now. So you almost,
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: this is sort of the birth of that video verite section.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: We get the opening scene where they've got him on camera.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: And yeah, we just start to see the infancy of
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: what that will become in the next 10 years.
• 15:43
  Speaker 8: But it still just seems so pointless in this movie
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: because usually later on when they use it, somebody finds
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: the camera and they see footage on there.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was just not for that purpose. At this point,
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: it was just like the novelty of, oh my God,
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: you can hold your own camera.
• 15:55
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: Nobody could do that except for cheesy super eights, you know?
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: So this was sort of that.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: It was like the 80s novelty of, hey, this kid's
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: got a movie camera.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: And I hate it.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: Oh, let's see. What else? I don't know. It does
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: a lot of good setup, though. I mean, I think
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: just that whole little creepy jack-in-the-box scene at the beginning. Yeah, oh, definitely.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: It almost is like sucking you in right off the bat.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: It's like it's got the cheesy flashback you know filter
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: on the camera and you've got the lullaby music going
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: and it's all fairy tale like and then you've got
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: this monster popped out of your face so like right
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: off the bat they're sort of setting it up like
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: okay you know what we're gonna dupe you it's like
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: we're gonna present you with one thing and give you
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: something else and i i like that they set it
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: up that way and it's one of these movies that
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: and i don't know if you'll ever want to do
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: this again but going back and watching it again it
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: becomes a very different movie it's like watching it this
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: time you see a whole lot of other stuff going
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: on that you never really, I mean, you don't know
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: to catch the first time around, but there's a lot
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: of setup. Again, I think it's pieced together really well,
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: the way they do this, because there's a lot of
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: stuff that's put into play in the beginning that does
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: come full circle.
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: It feels smarter than something that just was hodgepodge together, like, okay,
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: this is our idea, and we don't have a lot
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: of money, and blah, blah, blah, and they just throw
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: it out there, like throwing a bucket of painted canvas
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: and just seeing what sticks. It seemed like that The flow,
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: I remember, of the movie is really good. Yeah, I
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: was never led on to the fact that This could
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: be fake or blah, blah, blah. You know, I was
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: buying into it as much as the people going along were.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: That's one of the, it does so because they, they
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: throw in all these pranks at the beginning. So you'd
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: think they're almost like letting you know, Hey, this is all,
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: you know, but midway in, they kind of sucker you in.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: And I think it's just because you're so used to
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: seeing slasher movies. Like you're so used to falling into
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: that mode of, Oh shit, they're going to get killed now.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: So you, that kind of snaps in you and you're like,
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: all right, you move into that kind of movie and,
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Without even realizing that, you know, they're leading you down
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: that path. Oh, man, what else? You gotta be kidding.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: Unless Muffy knows something about us, we don't.
• 18:12
  Speaker 13: Hold me, big fella.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Hold me!
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: Just holster it, cowboy. Let's play hide the sausage.
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: Mickey, help!
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: Stop!
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: I only recommend can hold another man. Misty, you and
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: Marlena were thrilled at all the weird gay innuendo.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Lord, that was the gayest damn movie I've ever seen.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: It's not even innuendo.
• 18:34
  Speaker 12: A lot of bromance going on.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was blatantly like, you guys are just one
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: shade away from doing it.
• 18:40
  Speaker 12: Just cock grabbing.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: Go ahead. At this point, get it over with. Just, yeah.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Which is actually kind of weird because it's actually for
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: the time period.
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: At that point.
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: It's like, you really didn't have, I mean, now you
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: can get away with a lot and that's, you know, fine, whatever.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, they, they show plenty of stuff on movies
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: and TV and everywhere at this point, but, For 86,
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: this was sort of like a lot of random gay activity.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: Especially since nobody in this is technically gay, but come on, Biff,
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: I mean... Biff is gay. Biff might as well... I mean,
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: he's got the classic scenario of he's doing all these
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: things that are obviously gay to everyone else, but then he's,
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: you know... continually looking for chicks and talking about how
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: he's gonna.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: The dark guy very alpha male whatever trying.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: To see how many girls he can nail you know
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: i'm just like yeah cover up god get it over
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: with you got a boner for a boner he's not
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: really bad yeah he's just back to the future back
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: to the future but yeah you might as well be
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: sure Oh man, what else? Once again, this was just
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: another example that it sort of proved our point that
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: we brought up. a long time ago of they once
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: again throw out a line that's like these kids are
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: all sitting there and they don't know what to do
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: with their lives and they're like, Why bother figuring out
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: what to do with our lives when somebody can push
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: a button and nuke us all? Yeah, really. And it
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: is one of those that whole, like, you know, slacker.
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: Slacker, end of the Cold War kind of era type
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: deals where.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: That bred that entire Generation X of slackers that, like,
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: had nothing to do with their lives because.
• 20:16
  Speaker 12: Because we're going to be nuked tomorrow anyway, so it
• 20:19
  Speaker 12: doesn't matter.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: What's the point? Yeah. So this doesn't really delve into that,
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: but I like... It was so, like... constant in the
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: 80s that every movie there's like somebody's got some sort
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: of line because we all just became so used to
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: it at this point. It just became like everyday life.
• 20:33
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: Well, uh, Harv's got his job interview all figured out.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: What about the rest of us? Does anyone know what
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: they're going to be doing after graduation?
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Good choice, Ash.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: This is incredible.
• 20:51
  Speaker 13: Here we are, privileged independent, the hope for the future
• 20:56
  Speaker 13: right at this table.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: Not one of us knows what we're going to do
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: with the rest of our lives.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Cholera.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: You got your cholera?
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Oh God, I hate it back there.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: Everybody there was a lot of collar popping in this
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: movie oh god I didn't even realize nice he would
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: like specifically do it like that was they would make
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: the joke of you know he's got two modes collar
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: up and collar down.
• 21:17
  Speaker 12: Oh jesus once again this.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Is an era that is long gone and probably best.
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: For a good reason definitely no the pop collar is
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: still around well.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: It's come back around though it disappeared for quite a
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: while in the last like five years.
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: Or so the douche bags have resurfaced oh my god yikes.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: Oh lord I don't know but it's got I mean
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: this movie sets up so many very specific and kind
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: of cliched horror moments but it's sort of playing on
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: them all you've got your classic cat scare and you've
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: got the you know even the cheesy picture with the eyes.
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: Cut out the eyes behind it it's old school it's
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: like god damn black and white.
• 21:56
  Speaker 8: Almost yeah I want that clock though that clock was
• 21:59
  Speaker 8: friggin awesome.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: That clock was pretty damn cool the lighted cat.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Clock with the eyes fuck yeah I want.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: That But it even plays into the grand play-upon scheme,
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: which is the evil twin scenario.
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: Yep, yep, yep, yep.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: I was pretty sure the evil twin was coming to
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: get him.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Don't that chick look crazy? I mean, I'll say that.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: She looked crazy as hell.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: Especially at the end. It's like, oh, wow. Well, she
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: does have that changeover. You have to... Again, it's like they,
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: watching it this time, I mean, there is that next day,
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: she becomes a different person. You're like, why the hell
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: is she so different? Because all of a sudden now,
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: she's an entirely different character. Yeah, she's supposed to be
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: a different character. It's one of those, yeah, you guys
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: seem kind of thrown off by that the first time around.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: The things were happening.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: From having good hair to bad hair.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: Seriously. Different character. Yeah, different hair. And had fancy clothes,
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: and then she was wearing that. Shabby shab, like, yeah, whatever.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: Fucking thrift store.
• 22:49
  Speaker 12: Homely, yeah, huh.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: Nurse shoes, as the girl put it.
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: But I like that the movie just plays upon what you,
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: your expectations of what you're seeing and what you're going
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: in for. And so it's kind of like, you know,
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: the movie does play a trick on you, the audience,
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: the viewer, to a certain extent.
• 23:08
  Speaker 13: Do what?
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: I don't like being tricked.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: You don't like anything.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: I like something.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: Star Trek. I do. And Butterscotch. I do like Butterscotch.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: That's good. And caramel.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: Caramel. Rainbows.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say the ice cream sundae.
• 23:22
  Speaker 10: It was good.
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: I actually didn't know from the beginning of this movie
• 23:25
  Speaker 8: that I wasn't going to like it because I fucking
• 23:27
  Speaker 8: hate jack-in-the-boxes.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I hate anything that makes sudden sounds.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: I can't.
• 23:31
  Speaker 8: Like, whenever Jay opens biscuits, I have to hide because
• 23:34
  Speaker 8: they make a sudden popping sound, and I don't like
• 23:36
  Speaker 8: being startled.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: I just don't.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: You don't like the freshness cap of the Snapple, you mean?
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: I don't like it. That one I can at least control, but, like, biscuits,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: you never know when they're going to pop.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: You never know when they're going.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: To start pulling. You never know when it's going to come.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: I don't trust that shit.
• 23:52
  Speaker 8: I never liked Jack in the Box because I don't
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: like the whole anticipation of.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: I like Jack in the Box because they freak me out.
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: There's something eerie about them. There's always been something eerie
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: about them. Probably because of the freaking movies. Like Funhaus.
• 24:03
  Speaker 12: That's another movie that warped my brain.
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: The Funhaus movie where it's like a Jack in the
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: Box crazy clown.
• 24:09
  Speaker 12: Does he have an axe or something?
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: He's coming out of the box.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: I don't know. It's like.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: It's, but it's, yeah, it's creepy and it's, here's my
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: thing for real world wise, like, I never understood the whole, like,
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: cranking the jack-in-the-box. Like, it's got a latch right on it. Yeah.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: You don't have to go through all the suspense of it,
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: just flip the latch and it pops right down.
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: It's, you get, you get one, you know one thing
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: from it just yeah it's not like it's good it's
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: ever good enough to do it again like oh this
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: is so fun put it back down again look what
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: happened this time yeah comes out smoking a cigar you're
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: like wait what.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: But yeah, just the real world version of me is like,
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: just flip it open. Who cares about the damn song? Yeah, seriously.
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: If you think something's going to kill you in there,
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: just find out now. Go play in that song.
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: But was there a movie or am I thinking, there
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: was like a Jack in the Box that when you
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: did it, it came out with a knife and cut
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: your throat or something like that?
• 25:03
  Speaker 12: There has to be probably multiple. That seems like it'd
• 25:06
  Speaker 12: be awesome.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: I'm sure it's out there.
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: Of course, the person would have to hold it up
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: close to their face or close to their throat for
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: some reason.
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: Put that on the top. Please hold it close to
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: your throat. Yeah.
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: For best results hold up to your face and it
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: just pops out of the cheese grater.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: Oh lord it's one of those to me it's really
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: for me it enters into a very specific area just
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: as far as horror movies in general it's kind of
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: like the quintessential horror movie specifically slasher movie For people
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: who have seen all the other slasher movies, especially at
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: that point, now I think it's harder to do. Now
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: I think it enters into a whole new... version of
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: that a whole new generation of kids that are like
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: looking at stuff from a very different point but at
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: that point in time it's like this really only worked
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: well if.
• 25:58
  Speaker 15: You'd been if you'd seen Slash if you'd been watching
• 26:01
  Speaker 15: them for the last decade you know if the last
• 26:03
  Speaker 15: you know good portion of your life you were watching
• 26:06
  Speaker 15: all these movies and then it built up all these
• 26:08
  Speaker 15: rules and all these ways that everything worked and then
• 26:12
  Speaker 15: just sort of like totally monkey wrenches the whole.
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: Thing so you gotta be familiar with at least the
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: design going into it to get anything out.
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's years before Scream came along, but it's
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: a self-aware horror movie. It's sort of, you know, looking
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: at it in a very different way, but without being...
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's cheesy in its own 80s horror movie way,
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: but it's not cheesy in the self-awareness of it. It's
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: not near as blatant and obvious as they take it
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: with Scream, where they're just like, it's like a horror movie.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: Like this, they really are buying it the whole way along.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: It's certainly cheesy in many other aspects, but not from
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: that angle. It actually... takes it very seriously, but it's, yeah,
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: the makers are making this very self-aware horror movie and
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: playing on the preconceived notions that you have watching it. Exactly.
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: And I don't think it's been done since. Like, you know,
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: there was that gap where April Fool's Day came out
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: and then Scream was the only next one that was as,
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: you know, self-aware playing on itself. Like any other one
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: was just, you get another... Sleepy camp, whatever, campfire slasher bullshit.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: See, it's funny that you say that because I kind
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: of have a reasoning for that. And I think it's arguable,
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: I suppose. But I would almost venture to say that
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: April Fool's Day is like the jump the shark moment
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: of slasher movies. it kind of hit that point of, like,
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: we had the buildup of all the big, you know,
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: you had the burning, and you had the Friday the 13th,
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: and you have, you know, Michael Myers at this point.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: So you go through all the basics, you build up
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: all the rules, and you get to the point where there's,
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: the market is kind of saturated with them at that point.
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: And then you get to this one where.
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: It's just like, oh, just go for whatever.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: Well, you sucker in all these people, and they're like,
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: all right, one more horror movie. Come on, let's go.
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: And then they get there, and they're like, what the fuck?
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: This is not, like, I think it really did kind of, like...
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: Just twist the knob. And they were just like, all right,
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: let's do something else now.
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: Well, I think it definitely was, like we said, the
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: perfect time for that to come out because, you know, yeah,
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: going into it, we're going to watch it because, you know,
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: I like slasher movies.
• 28:15
  Speaker 12: I'm a sucker for them. But I know what's going
• 28:17
  Speaker 12: to happen.
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: And totally you get something different out of it because,
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: you know, yeah, you're just kind of.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: Played with a little bit. I think so, but I
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: can see how it probably, like, would piss people off
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: at the time.
• 28:28
  Speaker 12: Well, that too, probably.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: It pissed me off right now.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know. But for different reasons, I think. It
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: transcends time. But I think it, yeah, it's one of
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: those that I think you, because you do go in
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: expecting one thing, and it sort of pulls the rug
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: out from under you, and you're like, well, what the hell?
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: But I think it almost, like, in a grander sense, like,
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: it may not have specifically been this one movie, but
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: it was that time period, because... Were there any big
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: slasher movies after 1986? There were a lot more sequels
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: that were kind of crap and going downhill. There were
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: no new ones. Yeah, I mean, there might have been
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: one or two random smaller ones that weren't successful, but
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: I cannot think of any other big ones that came
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: after this. This was kind of like the turning point
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: in slasher movies to where it just dropped off. And
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: there weren't any until Scream came back around and sort
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: of revitalized the whole market again and changed the way
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: that they did slasher movies again you know it sort
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: of reformed them but yeah I don't know I think
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: it's just so influential in that way that you know
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: and again I can see there's a lot of people
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: I've heard that don't like this one and maybe for
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: that very reason outside of.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Misty hated it fuckers but i don't.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: Know i mean the late 70s to mid 80s was
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: like this like amazing period for horror movies it's like
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: it's something you can't go back to even now it's
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: like they try to recreate them and they try to
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: even get the mood of like those 70s and 80s
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: horror movies and they get close but it's like it's
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: just a period you'll never have again you can't make
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: movies like that again the world isn't the same as those,
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: you know, the time period we were dealing with. And
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: then the audiences are totally different. So it's like, it's,
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: it's kind of the little self-contained universe of horror movies
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: that these were the rules and this is how it operated.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: And like, this was the, the cap on it. This
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: was like, okay, and now we're going to, we're going
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: to fuck it all up and tell you, this is
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: all bullshit. Yeah. And I think that was kind of
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: the breaking point. All those people were like, well, you
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: know what? It's bullshit. Why are we going to these movies?
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: And they started going to like romantic comedies, you know,
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: it's like it, It turned the whole audience almost. Again,
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: not maybe necessarily this movie, but just that point in general.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: I think audiences had hit that era where they were like,
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: you know what? They were done. We're done with these
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: slasher movies. We're going to do something else now. Well,
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: that was the time of romantic comedy. It might have
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: bred one to the other. Look, we're going to dates.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: That's a natural step. Yeah, because it used to be
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: the date movie was a horror movie, and then the
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: romantic comedy came along.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Ah, fuck the romantic comedy.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: I feel that. God, they suck. That's it.
• 30:58
  Speaker 12: Hugh Grant made his debut.
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: Well, they left this, and they went to see When
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: Harry Met Sally, and the world was a much safer
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: place for everyone.
• 31:08
  Speaker 13: Changed forever.
• 31:08
  Speaker 12: I mean, it was a good, like, you know, what
• 31:12
  Speaker 12: I always like to say, it was a good time.
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: Definitely, I think it was a good time, but I
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: only say that because I was there when it came
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: out originally.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: So, you know. Yeah, I mean.
• 31:22
  Speaker 12: I can understand your hatred, Missy.
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: I mean, definitely.
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: Definitely. In a way, but in another, it's weird because
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: it's still a conventional slasher movie. To me, it almost
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: works as a slasher movie all the way up for
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: 75% of it until it hits that point. I don't know.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Didn't like it.
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: What I like about slasher movies is that there's at
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: least a little bit of tension, a little bit of build-up.
• 31:51
  Speaker 8: You get that kind of fear and you're like, something's
• 31:53
  Speaker 8: going to happen, what's going to happen? This one, I'm
• 31:55
  Speaker 8: just like, there was no real, like, oh, look, something happened.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: There it is.
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: Well, they don't, and even that one, that was like a...
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: Sort of an oversight... On their part... Because they... A
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: few of them... They... Like the first couple... They do
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: a pretty good set up of.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: And they get grabbed... And then it disappears... And you
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: don't really see... What happens to them... But that third chick...
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: That random girl... That's just outside crying... And then she just...
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: Turns up in a well... And I had the same reaction...
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: I was like... Wait.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Who is that?
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah... Who the fuck.
• 32:22
  Speaker 12: And you guys both said that.
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: You were like... Who is that chick?
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: And.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: So I mean... They really... And as it goes on later...
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: It's like... They kind of continue on... But it's almost
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: past that point... It's like... They almost needed to have...
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: A little more tension... Going into each one and give you,
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: maybe even give you like a fake, you know, blood kill.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: And so, you know, do the fake knife or something.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: So we see it. But then like a second later,
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: the person realizes, oh, okay, you know, it's fake. I'm just,
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: you know, kind of getting roped into this.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: But still kind of cut it right before that so
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: that you're still stringing the audience along. You've still got,
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: you know, the blood. Cause that's the other thing. There's
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: really not a whole lot of gore as it happens
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: at all. And they said, yeah. And they said it's,
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: it actually, because of that ended up getting a lot
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: of play on TV because they didn't, which to me,
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of weird perverse stuff going on outside
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: of the blood. Like there's still tons of sex and like,
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: In your window.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: In your window.
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: Oh, nice. Once again, what they said was not in
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: your window. Let's hide the sausage. It's not really. That's
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: pretty blatant. Who says that? Biff.
• 33:26
  Speaker 12: Biff says that. Biff wants that.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: Yes, he does. I believe he does. So, yeah, I
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: don't know. I can see it definitely could have done
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: a little more with building the tension along the way,
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: but I think structure-wise it's still set up pretty good.
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: I think the whole... As you get in there, again,
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: you don't like these characters, but to me, that's pretty standard.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: It would almost be like a tip-off if you had
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: real characters. Since they're sort of duping you the whole
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: way through, it's like they almost have to follow the
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: rules of the standard slasher movie, which is annoying kids
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: you want to see die.
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: Having sex especially if they are wealthier you know which
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: these kids definitely seemed from the wealthier side yeah.
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: They were all i mean she was going to vassar
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: you saw her house yeah these were not poor.
• 34:08
  Speaker 8: Kids and i can even deal with not liking the
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: characters if there was some tension or some build-up or
• 34:13
  Speaker 8: something or just something to hold my interest it's just
• 34:16
  Speaker 8: There was nothing, and I hated it. I wanted them
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: all to die, but it was happening in a very
• 34:21
  Speaker 8: lackluster way.
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you didn't get to see it. If
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: you legitimately don't like the character, yeah, you're kind of
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: being robbed of what you want out of this movie.
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: It's like you don't get to see him get killed.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: You just see a body pop up later. So I
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: can see from that angle it would kind of be annoying.
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: If all you're waiting for is to watch these kids
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: die and then you don't get to see it, they
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: keep cutting away.
• 34:42
  Speaker 8: My major thing was just the lack of tension. That's
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: what I love about slasher movies. I like the, you know,
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: people being chased or like the jump scares. I like,
• 34:48
  Speaker 8: you know, a little bit of that anxiety as to
• 34:50
  Speaker 8: what's happening. And that just, it wasn't there for me.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: You had a cat. A cat flew at his face.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: It was dark. You could barely see it. He pretty
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: knifed the cat. I don't know what happened.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: It did look like he should have knifed the cat.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure why he didn't knife the cat.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Don't knife the kitty.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: I didn't hate the kitty. Knife one of the other people. Repeatedly.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, Lord.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: So, I don't know. I think that's... For me, it
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: is a very influential movie. It was one of those
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: that sort of... It sure changed the way I looked
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: at movies at that point, because I was still kind
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: of a kid seeing it that first time on VHS,
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: and it was one of those you're totally strung along,
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden they're like, nope, here's
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: what really happened. But it probably is one of those
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: that made me a little more leery of movies going
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: in after that. It's like, wait, what's really going on here?
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: Is this another one where they're tricking me?
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Shenanigans.
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: Years before that M. Night Shyamalan came out. The dupas
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: time and again.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: Until the wind took his career away.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: Is there anything else we have on this one? I
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: think that's it. Definitely, you know. Round it out with
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: a fuck this. Round it out with a fuck this.
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: Thumbs down. Oh, I still like it. I still like it.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: I'm thoroughly entertained with it. As am I.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Not entertained.
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: But, hey, that is how we roll. To each their own.
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: We're all allowed our very specific and separate opinions on things.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: I'm serious.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Who wants to drink the water out of that well?
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: That was some nasty-ass looking water in that well. Aside
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: from the heads.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: Rolling around in it. I mean, seriously.
• 36:31
  Speaker 8: It was like brown and shit. Go drink the lake water.
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: Don't drink that well water.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: It's gross.
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: Sorry.
• 36:37
  Speaker 12: Listen up, kids.
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: This is a public service announcement. Don't drink the water.
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: Don't drink the water.

  Speaker 1: Oh, it's in the water.

  Speaker 12: Oh, it's in the water.
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's in the water.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's in the water.
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
• 36:49

  Speaker 2: A girl whose extracurricular activities were more daring than most.
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: A girl who could turn her fantasies into reality.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: One more sling won't set us back, Annie.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: Then again, Pi Theta was different from other sororities.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: I'll get back at you for the last thing I do!
• 39:09

• 39:14
  Speaker 3: as it's fun for the girls. So when it.
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: Came time to say goodbye.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: They decided to make real sure that no one would
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: ever forget the girls.
• 39:30

  Speaker 10: from demise and demise.

  Speaker 12: Yay demise feedback.
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: All right, first up, we have her on The Wraith.
• 41:11
  Speaker 7: Hi, Mike.
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: So just calling in real quick.
• 41:13
  Speaker 16: I'm catching up again, and I was just listening to
• 41:15
  Speaker 16: the Wraith episode, and I'm really glad you guys reviewed it.
• 41:18
  Speaker 16: It's definitely a favorite of my childhood, and I think
• 41:20
  Speaker 16: the only thing I was really going to share about
• 41:21
  Speaker 16: it was that I was going through a time when
• 41:24
  Speaker 16: my daughters were younger, and I was sharing different movies
• 41:26
  Speaker 16: with them that I'd seen, like Ferris Bueller's Day Off
• 41:28
  Speaker 16: and My Science Project and some of those, and I thought.
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: Oh, The Wraith. Oh, we totally got to watch The Wraith. Well,
• 41:33
  Speaker 6: they were still a little young for that one.
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: I had completely.
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: from the level of violence and inappropriate stuff that.
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: Was in that one.
• 41:40
  Speaker 6: So that was a bit of a shocker. But anyways,
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: it's definitely one of my absolute favorites, and I really
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: enjoyed listening to your guys' take on it.
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: Thanks, bye. And it probably encouraged them to, like, shove
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: household spray nozzles up their face. Yeah, or drink. Start
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: huffing the oven cleaner.
• 41:58
  Speaker 12: Hydraulic cleaner or whatever, yeah.
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: Hydraulic cleaner. Yeah, it's probably not really a good thing
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: to show children.
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: Especially if your children are mental and will just try
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: anything they see on the idea box.
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: So hopefully, yeah, they do better. Hopefully they're better than that.
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: All right, and next up, hopefully at this point, I
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: guess we'll round out and maybe this will be the
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: last because I don't think anybody else here cares. So
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: maybe this will be the last of our feedback on Glee. Oh, Jesus.
• 42:29
  Speaker 16: Heistomize.
• 42:30
  Speaker 6: I totally forgot that I did that big call-in about Glee,
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: and all I'm going to say is after the hiatus,
• 42:36
  Speaker 6: I really am surprised at how little I'm enjoying the
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: show now. It's kind of funny, the contrast, because I
• 42:41
  Speaker 6: loved it in the beginning, but I actually fast-forwarded through
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: a couple of the songs in the last episode that
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: I watched, and I haven't watched another one yet. I'll
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: probably finish out the season. But I haven't seen a
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: show drop off this bad since the season finale of
• 42:55
  Speaker 6: Season 1, so... Anyhow, some of you aren't missing anything.
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: It really started out good songs, good stories, and it's
• 43:03
  Speaker 6: just not holding up. I guess we'll see how it
• 43:05
  Speaker 6: does down the road.
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: Take it off the air.
• 43:09
  Speaker 12: It sucks balls.
• 43:10
  Speaker 8: I actually broke down and watched a couple episodes of Glee,
• 43:13
  Speaker 8: and I didn't.
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: Care at all.
• 43:16
  Speaker 12: Yeah, it's just terrible.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: The Glee teacher was hot. That was the extent of it.
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: That's bringing you.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know his name.
• 43:23
  Speaker 12: I didn't care enough to actually watch.
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: My stance is it's ridiculous to have a kid in
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: a wheelchair be in some.
• 43:31
  Speaker 12: They'd be dancing.
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: Like, no.
• 43:33
  Speaker 12: Give me a friggin' break.
• 43:35
  Speaker 14: God.
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: I mean, ugh. You're just dead.
• 43:39
  Speaker 12: I'm done talking about it.
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: No, Warkley. All I have to say is they did
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: have this weird changeover. I've only seen a few of
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: them since the new season, but I think it's one
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: of those that the hype of it and then probably
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: the network influence kind of kicked in because now all
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: of a sudden it seems like they're way bigger productions.
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: They have tons more money thrown at the production to
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: turn it into a big stage show or a music
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: video or, you know, now they're bringing in all these
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: tie-ins with specific artists.
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: And it's totally, like, all of a sudden, like, the
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: character development is gone. Like, you really don't care about
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: any of the story anymore, if they even bother with story.
• 44:17
  Speaker 12: He's a jock, but he can sing.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: It's just all about the whatever numbers they're doing that week, which,
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, granted, that's kind of what they built the
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: show on. I mean, when you put a show like
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: that on after American Idol, you kind of know, I mean,
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: you're building it on that novelty. That fan base. But...
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: It's still, yeah. Even what little I paid attention to it,
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: it did take a big turn right there when you
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: hit that new season. All right. We will wrap up
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: the glee talk. Yes, please.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: I'll be glee-less from now on.
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: No, unfortunately.
• 44:47
  Speaker 11: I don't care about no wheelchair.
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: I got so much left to do with my life.
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: Don't.
• 45:03

  Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, Lord.
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: It is time for the movie meltdown secret circle reveal
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: of the next two features. Two weeks. Two whole weeks, folks.
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: For you members of the secret circle.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: I have a mustache.
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God. Misty's playing with her hair now.
• 46:02
  Speaker 12: Freaking losing it.
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: She's lost it. Next week's feature is going to be
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: an odd tie-in. I may even wait until next week
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: to give everybody the full tie-in, because it's so ridiculous, that's.
• 46:14
  Speaker 13: Why I'm going with it.
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: Yes. But we will be watching 1978's Terror. Yes. It
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: is out there on DVD. I don't know if it's
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: something you can get from Netflix, because the only way
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: I've come across it is part of those... compilation kind
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: of deal four for one or whatever this one's like
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: a 10 one it's like a oh.
• 46:34
  Speaker 12: 50 like horror movies it's.
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: Like 10 it was like great horror hits and it's
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: like 10 or 12 of them in one so yeah
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: it's cheesy um non-remastered non-redone you know no special buy
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: 10 for 10 bucks kind of a deal that was
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: five dollars it probably was five dollars so Go.
• 46:51
  Speaker 8: To Walmart and buy it, and then you can watch
• 46:53
  Speaker 8: it and comment on it.
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: Yep, so go get yourself a copy of Terror from 1978.
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: I'm going so far to get this specific tie-in, and
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: that's kind of why I want to do it, because
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: it's so ridiculous nobody else would do it. That's what
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: we're here for. We push the envelope of ridiculousness. For you. So,
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: speaking of which, let's talk about the following week. The
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: following week, we're going to watch another one of those
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: movies that I... I remember this movie. I remember it
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: on cable as a kid, and it was so weird.
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: It almost didn't process, and it didn't make sense, but
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: it was sort of fascinating. It sucked you in. The
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: visuals were kind of weird and cool at the same time,
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: and probably cheesy now, but... I don't know. I wanted
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: to go back. Again, it's another one of those I
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: had in my head. I'm like, man, we need to
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: dig that up and watch it.
• 47:47
  Speaker 12: I bet a lot of people will be like, ooh, yeah,
• 47:48
  Speaker 12: that one.
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: And then I ran into a copy of it on
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: DVD the other day for cheap. And I was like, well,
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: that does it. That's usually what pushes it over the
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: edge for us. Once I happened to run across one
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: of those on the mental list, I'm like, ah, shit,
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: now we're watching it. Yeah, we're going to watch Heart Beeps.
• 48:04
  Speaker 12: Heart Beeps.
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: Heart Beeps. About the robot family thing. Robots in love. Yeah.
• 48:09
  Speaker 13: Whatever that.
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: That baby robot they have.
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 48:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you will be misty-less that day.
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because you're afraid of Andy Kaufman.
• 48:16
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: I am.
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: That's kind of what I want.
• 48:18
  Speaker 12: Andy Kaufman robot.
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: And Bernadette Peters. Yeah. She's a fine singer. Anyway. So, yeah.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: Heart Beeps.
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: I don't know what anybody's going to think of that one.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: I'm fine with that one.
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: Ain't no batteries not included, that's for sure.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know what I think.
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: That movie fucking sucks.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: That movie was awesome when I was a kid, dude.
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: Stupid. Just had a bunch of old people on it. Exactly.
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: It's like Cocoon, but with robot flying saucers.
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, with less story and aliens.
• 48:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's really always a bad idea to go with
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: the old people card.
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll take Cocoon anyway. Cocoon's pretty damn entertaining for
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: old people.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: I don't like old people.
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: Batteries not included.
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: Oh man you would have not been happy yesterday as
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: i sat there watching that movie i had actually it
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: was okay i had i had like buffer seats on
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: either side which i don't normally worry about in the
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: regular theater but this was like one of those weird
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: settings with all the geeks i was like if i
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: can find an open area i'd probably another rather not
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: sit by these people yeah there's probably a stench involved
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: i don't know yeah so i sat down and i
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: had a whole little area because i just showed up
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: at the back and sat down and then midway into
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: the movie this guy comes in and sits next to
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: me and i realize he's a crazy old dude oh
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: so i'm like whatever there's plenty of old dudes at
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: this weekend it's no big deal once he starts talking
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: to you about he no he doesn't even talk to
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: me he just starts talking he's just like yeah Frank
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: is done.
• 49:40
  Speaker 17: Oh Jesus and he's gonna watch the screen some more
• 49:43
  Speaker 17: and be like oh that was good look at that
• 49:45
  Speaker 17: that's good oh Jesus and I think he had what
• 49:49
  Speaker 17: I'm assuming was his wife with him so I guess
• 49:50
  Speaker 17: he was saying it.
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: Out loud to her like I guess he does this
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: at home.
• 49:54
  Speaker 12: Watching TV or something or he could have been saying
• 49:55
  Speaker 12: it to you.
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: But he was just well he was just like naming
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: things that were on screen oh he was stating the
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: obvious he was like yeah thanks Captain Obvious Dracula I
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: know thanks dude Or just like, oh, that looks good.
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: They'd show like a makeup job. They'd be like, oh,
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: that looks good. I'd have freaking moved. I'd have moved.
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: They were running out of seats, so yeah. I'd have
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: been rude and got up, looked down at him, and
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: then moved.
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: And scoffed.
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: And scoffed. But the thing is, he's old, so he
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: wouldn't have heard you. He'd just be like, where'd that
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: dude go?
• 50:26
  Speaker 12: His scoffing would drown yours out.
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: Eventually, I don't know what his reasoning was. He wandered
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: off to another seat. Oh, Jesus. Further over. But without
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: his wife. Oh, Jesus. He kept trying to, like, wave
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: her over, and she was like, I don't want to
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: fuck you up. Yeah, she's like, fuck no. She's like,
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: I don't want to sit by you either. This is
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: my chance to lose you forever.
• 50:45
  Speaker 8: Yep. Wow.
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: Old people. Oh, man. So, with that, I guess we've
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: wrapped up this show. We've wrapped it up as best
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: we could, gift-wrapped it, packaged it. So I think it's
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: time to kick off the amazingly awesome closing theme to
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: April Fool's Day. The best part of the whole fucking movie.
• 51:06
  Speaker 10: It is awesome.
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: And it explains basically the show in a whole. Yeah,
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: kind of. It's very fitting of us. Otherwise, that about
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: does it. We will return next week. Same geek time,
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: same geek feed. Thanks for listening.
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: Later. Thank you.
• 51:20
  Speaker 7: Peace.
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: Word. Or whatever.
• 51:25
  Speaker 12: God, it's going to stop fucking raining.
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: I know. It's going to be weird.
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 51:30
  Speaker 18: Too bad you're crazy. Too bad you're loony as hell.
• 51:36
  Speaker 18: So long, it could have been swell together. Too bad
• 51:42
  Speaker 18: you're wacko.
• 51:44
  Speaker 11: Wacko.
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: How sad your marbles are gone. All gone.
• 51:47
  Speaker 18: We could be dancing till dawn, but you're too weird
• 51:51
  Speaker 18: for words.
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 51:53
  Speaker 7: How did you get so strange?
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: You were such a beautiful kid.
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: Now you are so deranged. Was it mom and daddy?
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: Something I did? Too bad you're no-no. Too bad. You
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: should be locked in a cell.
• 52:09
  Speaker 18: Ha, sad, you're great, but hey, what the hell, you're crazy.
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: You're off the deep end.
• 52:17
  Speaker 9: On my eyes.
• 52:18
  Speaker 7: Your life's a practical joke. Killed homage. I'd bail you out,
• 52:23
  Speaker 7: but I'm broke. Your brain's completely fried. Life's just a
• 52:28
  Speaker 7: party trick to you. Clown jokes and lots of booty do.
• 52:33
  Speaker 7: It's time to put that on the shelf.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: I'm a little bit crazy myself.
• 54:09
  Speaker 4: And what am I supposed to do? Just throw off
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: my clothes and jump on top of you?
