  Speaker 1: What's a podcast good question It's a thing where we
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: threaten people with movies that they're going to not want
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: us to watch one way or the other.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: So we have a special child on the episode we're
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: about to talk about. So I thought I was trying
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: to come up with something. I hadn't seen anything recently,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: so I was just trying to find something that sort
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: of had a kid. Don't know if this is a
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: good thread or not, but I came up with the
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: daisy chain.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: A grieving couple moved to a remote Irish village in
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the wake of their baby daughter's death. They soon take
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: in an orphan autistic girl only to become involved in
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: a series of strange occurrences.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, if you take in an orphan child, no
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: matter what they are on the spectrum.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: They're going to be strange occurrences. Stay away from kids
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: is the thing. That'll be your best option is stay
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: away from children.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: How come it's always the autistic kids that are like supernatural?
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Well, because we didn't know what to call them. I mean,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Damien was just on the spectrum, but we didn't know
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: it at the time.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: That must be it. I'm going to write a thesis
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: about this.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Kids are evil, but now we have a different term
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: for it.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Like i know i know several.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Just kidding i'm related to a kid that deals with
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: a lot of that.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: So i've witnessed it firsthand i watch it go on
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: and go man like i am fascinated by him like
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: he operates on just an entirely different level and like
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: watching him like his brain just processes shit totally differently
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: and it's like it's fascinating and It's weird for his
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: mom who has to just deal with everything differently than
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: every other parent in the world. And that's frustrating. She
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: deals with it like a champ. But I'm like, I
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: feel bad that I'm just like, I know other people
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: just have kids and don't care and go on about
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: their business. But there's a lot more going on when
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you're dealing with a kid of that level that is
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: super spectrum oriented. So. So anyway, what.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Were you saying?
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: No, no, no.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: I just want to say I'm not doing it.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I'm not blindly attacking random kids with problems.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: No.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Not that it's a problem sometimes.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Sometimes it's a lot to deal with, let's just say.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Well, that's all kids.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Should we start this over?
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: No. Probably. I'll go get a shovel. We can bury
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: the show right now.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Our biggest group of listeners are artistic children. Artistic. Extra artistic.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I know a person. Kids with crayons are my favorite.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I know a person whose child is on the spectrum
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: and I haven't met the child, but she tells me
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: about the child and I'm like, that's everything I do daily. Yeah.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I've suspected myself for a while. Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I'm not trying to make a joke or belittle autism
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: at all, but I have suspected myself and the more
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: evidence I get of what an autistic person does, the
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: more I'm.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Like, Oh. When I think about how my childhood was
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, ah, see if it was now, there
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: would be tests done.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. I did not have a normal childhood. So, yeah,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I would, yeah, I think I'd be somewhere in that mix. So,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: me too.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: We're special.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: We're all special is what I'm saying.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I'd watch that movie.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Which one? Me murdering people as a child? No.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Daisy chain oh okay i forgot.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: You could make us watch daisy chain if you want
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: i don't know i watched the trailer i'm not thrilled
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: but you know hey you can probably come up with
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: a better option if you just you know sign up
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: for the horror club you can give us a better
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: movie to watch and we don't have to watch daisy
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: chain and i'll still make weird comments about children.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Or like i always say make us watch a worse.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Movie There's definitely worse.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: We have nothing going on in our lives that's going
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: to prevent us from watching terrible movies.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Sadly, that's very true.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: And then talking about them ad nauseum.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: We have no standards.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's probably better. Obviously not.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: I got stuff going on.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: She does have a life. I, on the other hand.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: I got no standards when it comes to what I watch.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Obviously, once again, you're on this show.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: This is what we do. It's true.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: And that's why we say ridiculous things like this.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I did not enjoy it. I know a lot of
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: people are going to be very upset with me for
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: saying that.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: A little bit, yeah.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: And I think it's of all the.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: So there's the little baby doll puppet with no eyes.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: And so he just sneaks into his room at night
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: and just terrorizes all the poor residents.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: You think he can be a solid, serious actor, which
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: he can.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I've seen that one movie he made with RoboCop.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: But also, yeah, it's just like when you want to
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: see somebody chew on some scenery, he is good at it.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: What was that movie he made with RoboCop?
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: And I thought it would be kind of campy, you know,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: like weird little baby doll. It was really sad and intense.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: It was really good, but I would not watch it again.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I watched an absolute... trash fire of a movie called
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: i don't know if there's anything less than no budget
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: but it's a movie it's oh god where do i
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: start there's no i mean there's nothing.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Like i just want to talk about this it's okay
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: there's some specifics going on in the filmmaking that is
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: equally as interesting in what's going on in the plot
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: like it definitely and it calls itself a thriller But
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: it plays on horror tropes so much that I'm like,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: this is kind of horror.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Solid, solid poster.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: So for normal people, you're like, you know, you don't
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: need to watch the movie.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Here's the poster.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: That's enough for you. But on that note, there are
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: a lot of questions that I have. That there are
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: no answers to.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: That should be the tagline for this movie. Because the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: more I dug into it, the more I was like, but... I.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Could find very little information on it. Now, granted, I
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: didn't look very hard.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I found a lot of information about it, and it
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: didn't make it any easier to process. In fact, it's
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: more frustrating the more you find out about it.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: And then the main kid, who's the quote-unquote star of
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: the movie, just inexplicably... disappears for 20 minutes.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Those things happen i don't understand my only thought was
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: he was just not available for those days of shooting and.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: It was this when they they made this statement about
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: him i was like well that's What I.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Want to be doing He wasn't running around the neighborhood
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: He was swinging on a swing or something Wearing only
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: a Superman cape Playing Tarzan And I'm like well we've
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: all had those moments Dad come on this is so
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: dad trying to make a kid reference I'm.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Like those are two different things Dad you can't be
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: playing Tarzan In a Superman cape get it together Well
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I would.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Like to watch that Tarzan movie Where he's actually Superman.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: And naked I think there's a channel for you But
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: it's on the internet We're two thirds of the way
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: there why not.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Let me just say that I walked into this movie
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: with very high hopes. And man, it did not disappoint.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Well, I was going to say.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: But not in the way I was expecting it to.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: You can't say it's not impressive on a level. Not
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the level most people are looking for.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: He calls his very creepy buddy and says, Hey, I've
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: got someone new for you to come play with. Bring drugs.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go pick up two whores for us.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: What on earth?
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: That is verbatim what he says.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: On the Lord's Day?
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Which also the fact that he's 12 and has a
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: teddy bear is a little weird, really. I mean, I'm
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: watching and I'm like, this is ridiculous. And I leaned
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: over to my stuffed baby Yoda and I was like,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: are you seeing what I'm seeing? This kid's like 12.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Get it together, man. Who's talking to a teddy bear?
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: And then the movie as a whole just kind of
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: made you feel bad. So that was a fun one.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Yay.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: I love the movie. Well, that's the thing.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I love it for what it is. And then eventually
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I was like, okay, that's why none of this makes
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: any damn sense.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: I can't wait for enough time to go by that
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: I forget 90% of it. That's what happened. Because I
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: got into it and I was like, I know I
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: watched this before. And then I got like part of
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: the way in, I was like, Oh, shit. Like, I
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: forgot so much of the insanity.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just, it's hitting.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: By insanity, I feel like you mean sheer brilliance.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Yes, but also it's like doing several different things at
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the same time, and they don't click. They don't cooperate
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: with each other. And I'm like, so what are we
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: taking from this movie?
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: I feel like they forgot about a lot of things
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: after they... They shot it.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Or they didn't... I feel like most movies you decide, okay,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: this is the plane we're on. These are the rules
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: we're going to abide by. And it has three different planes.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: And they're all going, they're playing three-dimensional chess at any
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: given moment between these different things happening at the same time.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, and none of these make any sense,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: by the way. So that is how he got this movie.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: so he was there he had a pulse someone answered
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: a phone he got a movie so but i think
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: you can take that into account he's got credits for
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: all different other things he's been involved in film for
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: years and But he only directed one other movie and
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: it fell apart. And he also got fired from this
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: one at one point, by the way. I heard that later, too.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: So two movies got fired from both of them. This one,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: they got desperate and had him come back. Yikes. So
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: how bad off were they to make sense of this craziness?
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Also unrelated, but another neighborhood person when they told, what's
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: the name of the weird kid?
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: Jamie.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Jamie. Jamie.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: To go back to where you came from?
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Go back to where you came from, funny person.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Funny person.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: That is my new taunt. I cannot wait for an
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: opportunity to use that. Somebody piss me off soon.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Because there was a certain point in the movie where
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: I said out loud, is this scene supposed to be funny?
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: And my girlfriend was like, I don't think so. And
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: I said, yeah, but. The background music is scored like
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: what you would put in a comedy, but then two
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: bars into it, it changes into scary music and then
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: back to funny music. And I just don't know what
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: to think.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: It was jaunty.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: It was like a kid's movie from this time. It
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: was like one of the live action Disney movies of
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: this era that we're watching a dog go on an
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: adventure with another dog and then they meet a cat
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: and they go rob a bank or whatever happens.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Can I watch that movie? I kind of want to
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: watch that movie.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Right now and I just made it up.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: So I read that in... Which they mentioned a skinny
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: dipping scene and I'm like, I don't even remember a
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: skinny dipping scene.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: It's at the end.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Okay. That the girl was the daughter of the director
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: because she really wanted a role in this movie and
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: he was like, okay, you can do the one where
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: you're naked. And then... She, for the shot, got fully
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: naked and then he was like, wait, put your pants
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: back on. Let's just do this topless. But she stood
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: there and argued with her dad, the director, while fully
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: nude about how she wanted to be fully nude and
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: not put her pants back on.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: I don't, I don't know. Everything about that story makes
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: me upset. I know. And I don't know. Normally, but
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: there's things that I'm like, oh, I get why I'm
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: mad at that. And then there's other things that like, well,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: that cancels that out. But now I'm mad at this.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know what to think. Why did your
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: mom make you get naked? I don't understand.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: And then off screen, the director is like, you get naked.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: No, put your pants on. I don't want to see that.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I'm okay with this. But not that.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Mom, is that cool? Yeah.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: They're a very complicated family. I'm just saying. So, all
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: that said, go to MovieMeltdown.com, join the Meltdown Horror Club,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: and give us something to watch where we don't have
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: to talk about that kind of weird, awkward stuff.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: How much of that is going in the show?
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Most of it.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, we need something to talk about.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: You did most of the talking, so I'm not worried
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: about it.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Again, if anybody gave a rat's ass what I say...
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: It would factor into my life. Nobody, nobody does.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: Leave us a comment so we can have feedback corner.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: That too.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: We'll read all of your angry comments on there.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: I knew that there was a reason for me to
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: practice the phrase, Brian who?
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: So. Not the first time you've used it either.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Not yet. I've been waiting. I've been waiting. And our
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: movie this week gave me a new phrase. I can't wait.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Oh boy. See, this is why you want to sign up.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: You can hear us have these wonderful discussions. So.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Go get on it.
