Transcript
- 0:43Speaker 1: You know I am. I'm scared I'm gonna miss everything
- 0:47Speaker 1: I want to say about this movie because there's so
- 0:51Speaker 1: much to talk about. But yeah, very excited to do
- 0:55Speaker 1: this one. Thank you for the recommendation. This was all
- 0:59Speaker 1: all courtesy of you. If you didn't go do you?
- 1:03Speaker 1: You and you and Corey and Spencer. Every now and again,
- 1:05Speaker 1: you just you find these fucking things out of nowhere.
- 1:09Speaker 1: I don't know where. You just go into the deep
- 1:11Speaker 1: dark reaches of horror. The things.
- 1:18Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest, it's one of those things on TikTok.
- 1:21Speaker 2: I don't know what these are. I don't know why
- 1:22Speaker 2: they happen. Somehow, I find myself watching them from time
- 1:25Speaker 2: to time where it's like the cut screen and the
- 1:28Speaker 2: top half is playing part of a movie or describing
- 1:31Speaker 2: a movie and what happens in that movie, and the
- 1:34Speaker 2: bottom half of someone doing something like sand art or baking,
- 1:37Speaker 2: and you almost hit me in the face with that. Sorry,
- 1:41Speaker 2: And so I'm like distracted by that. And then they're
- 1:45Speaker 2: like describing this movie.
- 1:46Speaker 3: I'm like, what the fuck? I got it? What is this?
- 1:48Speaker 2: So I start looking through the comments I find I'm like, well,
- 1:50Speaker 2: this was bizarre. I'm gonna have to save it until
- 1:52Speaker 2: Austin about it because the cast and the plot.
- 1:56Speaker 3: Were so wild.
- 1:59Speaker 1: Yeah, oh so this one was a TikTok. Fine, yes
- 2:02Speaker 1: it was. Now they were doing what with the video
- 2:06Speaker 1: in the background.
- 2:06Speaker 2: It's like one of those things where like they do
- 2:08Speaker 2: the am I the asshole while someone's baking a cake
- 2:11Speaker 2: or making something. It's like they're just doing something random.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Oh, usually it's minecraft when I see that, yeah.
- 2:17Speaker 3: And mine is usually people baking cakes.
- 2:22Speaker 2: I can't stop watching it, and then I'm like, oh, damn,
- 2:24Speaker 2: I didn't mean to watch this whole thing, but I
- 2:26Speaker 2: was conned.
- 2:26Speaker 3: I was distracted by icing.
- 2:28Speaker 1: Well, thank you TikTok and brings so much joy to everybody.
- 2:31Speaker 2: But this is where it's like that's happening on one
- 2:34Speaker 2: half the screen, but the other half is like they're
- 2:36Speaker 2: playing parts of a show or parts of a movie.
- 2:38Speaker 3: I don't know what that's about, but I keep seeing
- 2:40Speaker 3: them at.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Random, you know, m it's being a weird algorithm section
- 2:44Speaker 1: of Tickety Talk.
- 2:45Speaker 3: Yes, yes I am.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Because I'm not there.
- 2:49Speaker 3: No, you're not.
- 2:50Speaker 1: No, But today, hello, Hi, Hi, today we are talking.
- 2:56Speaker 1: It's episode one sixty three. I'm your host. Austin Proctor,
- 2:59Speaker 1: and that is your other hope with the most as always, bitch,
- 3:03Speaker 1: I'm a ghost, Gabrielle Proctor. Wow do do do? We
- 3:08Speaker 1: are talking about a movie called Cherry Falls today. If
- 3:11Speaker 1: you think you will not get a visual of this
- 3:14Speaker 1: in the movie, you would be dead wrong, because, oh boy,
- 3:19Speaker 1: spoiling that, not even a spoiler. Cherry Falls is the
- 3:22Speaker 1: name of a town and some fuck we're up somewhere
- 3:25Speaker 1: where did they specify? What state? Did they say? Okay,
- 3:29Speaker 1: so it's Cherry Falls, any town, USA.
- 3:33Speaker 3: Somewhere near West Virginia.
- 3:34Speaker 1: Not oh yeah, yeah, because he was saying he was
- 3:38Speaker 1: going to West Virginia and that was like two hours away,
- 3:39Speaker 1: because she said West Virginia and I was like, mountains Virginia,
- 3:42Speaker 1: take me home, beverage. It was shot in Virginia, rich
- 3:46Speaker 1: probably Virginia. Okay, it's in Virginia. Uh yeah, so this
- 3:50Speaker 1: is a great time. I only knew the uh you know,
- 3:54Speaker 1: minor IMDb summary going in and we'll read that in
- 3:58Speaker 1: a little bit. So that's pretty much all I knew.
- 4:00Speaker 1: And boy was it a fucking treat. So much to
- 4:04Speaker 1: say on this movie, but we've got, of course, many
- 4:07Speaker 1: a other thing to talk about first up being we're
- 4:11Speaker 1: gonna talk about Halloween Ends, because we haven't spoke on
- 4:13Speaker 1: that yet. I know. I briefly mentioned it with Corey
- 4:15Speaker 1: last week, but he hadn't seen it, and the week
- 4:18Speaker 1: before that we released the podcast. The day before we
- 4:20Speaker 1: saw Halloween enns, so we got to talk about Halloween Ends.
- 4:23Speaker 1: Even though I've talked, I feel like I've talked about
- 4:25Speaker 1: it at this point, fucking relentlessly. I've done a TikTok
- 4:29Speaker 1: on it or two tiktoks on it. I've talked about
- 4:31Speaker 1: it on the podcast I did yesterday with Slashers. I
- 4:35Speaker 1: talked with them, I'm pretty sure, me and Nick and
- 4:38Speaker 1: Michael on the Shameless Picture Show it talked about Halloween n's.
- 4:41Speaker 1: At some point, I feel like I've talked about it
- 4:43Speaker 1: so much, but somehow it's not been on the podcast.
- 4:46Speaker 1: But yes, I was also on two other episodes of
- 4:48Speaker 1: podcasts that will be out later, so Shameless Picture Show
- 4:51Speaker 1: and Slashers. But let's talk about Halloween. We gotta get
- 4:55Speaker 1: this out there. It's got to be said. Feelings thoughts go.
- 5:00Speaker 2: So, I know everybody hates this movie for some reason.
- 5:03Speaker 2: I didn't hate it. I wasn't like, oh, this is
- 5:06Speaker 2: a masterpiece. I felt that to keep it simple, I
- 5:11Speaker 2: felt that the whole plot line between Corey and Laurie's granddaughter,
- 5:17Speaker 2: whose name is left my head entirely.
- 5:18Speaker 1: Right now, let's go with snory Alison, Alison.
- 5:22Speaker 3: That seems like her name. We're gonna call her Alison.
- 5:24Speaker 2: Yeah, their whole story and his whole arc. Yeah, it
- 5:29Speaker 2: overshadowed the rest of the movie. And had it been
- 5:33Speaker 2: its own film and his connection with Michael Meyer had
- 5:37Speaker 2: not been like the had it been like, they could
- 5:41Speaker 2: have made it a different we've never heard of it,
- 5:44Speaker 2: totally made up villain, and he could have had his
- 5:47Speaker 2: own movie that would have been a better received movie
- 5:52Speaker 2: because it wasn't trying to hinge in a random story
- 5:56Speaker 2: to a big franchise. Like I told you, my concern
- 6:01Speaker 2: was that at the last minute, when you were telling
- 6:04Speaker 2: me about Corey before we saw the film, Yep, my
- 6:06Speaker 2: concern was that they were going to try to make
- 6:09Speaker 2: you care about a character at the eleventh hour. And
- 6:13Speaker 2: every time any show or movie has ever or like
- 6:18Speaker 2: movie series has ever tried to do that, it does
- 6:21Speaker 2: not work. It's like season eight of that seventies show
- 6:25Speaker 2: Eric's left and Kelsel's left. No one gives a shit
- 6:29Speaker 2: about whoever the fuck Randy is, Like, nobody cares about him.
- 6:34Speaker 2: You can't make us care about him. He is not established.
- 6:37Speaker 2: We have not had time to grow with him, and
- 6:39Speaker 2: one season is not going to make me like that.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Person, especially at the end, at the end where.
- 6:44Speaker 3: You're trying to see where will everybody end up, you're.
- 6:47Speaker 1: Trying to wrap it up. I don't need some bozo
- 6:49Speaker 1: coming in and ruin in my shit.
- 6:50Speaker 3: They did the same shit to the Brady Bunch. They
- 6:52Speaker 3: ended it.
- 6:53Speaker 2: They added in a random cousin because the kids were
- 6:55Speaker 2: getting a little too old, so they wanted to add
- 6:57Speaker 2: a youthful kid.
- 6:58Speaker 3: And everybody hated that kid.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Oh no, because he was like annoying, He wasn't funny.
- 7:04Speaker 3: It doesn't work.
- 7:05Speaker 2: You cannot add someone in in the eleventh hour and
- 7:07Speaker 2: expect everyone to care. But again I say, I like Corey.
- 7:11Speaker 2: Had they given him, like if it had been a
- 7:13Speaker 2: separate film, I would have liked his thing way more.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Yeah, he for him to come in and cap off
- 7:21Speaker 1: the trill, for David Gordon Green to cap off the
- 7:24Speaker 1: trilogy that he did with Yeah, some random person who
- 7:30Speaker 1: has not been mentioned, has not been in, was not
- 7:32Speaker 1: a part of anything. To make him such a focal
- 7:34Speaker 1: point of the movie was a very odd decision. And
- 7:38Speaker 1: I know, at least I assume what he was going for,
- 7:41Speaker 1: because in every movie you kind of see different trauma.
- 7:43Speaker 1: You get in the first movie and I've actually got
- 7:45Speaker 1: this thing pulled up that I wanted to kind of
- 7:47Speaker 1: reference to that this guy I showed it to you
- 7:50Speaker 1: about how he yeah, okay many times, okay, okay, I'll
- 7:53Speaker 1: go into that. But what David Gordon Green did with
- 7:56Speaker 1: the trilogy is, you know, every it's almost like every
- 8:00Speaker 1: movie was about trauma, because you have trauma in the
- 8:02Speaker 1: first movie about Lori and her family directed directly impacted
- 8:05Speaker 1: from Michael Myers and that whole trauma, okay, And then
- 8:08Speaker 1: in Kills, you have the trauma that the town has
- 8:11Speaker 1: been through with Michael Myers and forty years ago him
- 8:15Speaker 1: wreaking havoc and then coming back, so you have the
- 8:18Speaker 1: town's trauma. And then in the third one, it's like
- 8:21Speaker 1: they just specifically honed in on one person's trauma, but
- 8:25Speaker 1: it wasn't really directly related to Michael Myers per se.
- 8:30Speaker 1: His trauma was more getting bullied by people, which, by
- 8:33Speaker 1: the way, if you're in your twenties, getting bullied by
- 8:36Speaker 1: fucking seniors, dude, that's just I don't even know how
- 8:40Speaker 1: that's even possible. Just fucking pull their pants over their
- 8:42Speaker 1: head and throw them the river.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Senior band kids, Yeah, why are you not pushing that
- 8:48Speaker 2: kid over?
- 8:48Speaker 3: And also what's like, what is up with those kids?
- 8:52Speaker 2: I've never seen a band kid be a bully like
- 8:54Speaker 2: that in my life, and I was in color Guard
- 8:57Speaker 2: for God's sakes me sorry, sand eksp not a thing.
- 9:01Speaker 1: So we talked about this yesterday when I was doing
- 9:03Speaker 1: this episode with Slashers, and Aid, who's one of the
- 9:06Speaker 1: hosts over there, said almost the same exact thing as
- 9:09Speaker 1: you are. I think it was either eight or one
- 9:11Speaker 1: of the other people. I don't know, but they were like,
- 9:13Speaker 1: when did band kids become so tough? And we asked
- 9:16Speaker 1: Aid because she's a senior teacher, and we were like,
- 9:19Speaker 1: are they like that now? They're like, no, not really,
- 9:21Speaker 1: they're more kind of cocky and stuff like that. I
- 9:23Speaker 1: was like, yeah, when did become When did band kids
- 9:25Speaker 1: go from nerds being these hard like fucking punks. It's
- 9:28Speaker 1: not a thing.
- 9:29Speaker 2: Yeah, I can tell you two things that band kids
- 9:33Speaker 2: and drama kids are, but it ain't that.
- 9:36Speaker 1: It ain't that. Yeah, so yeah, that was very weird
- 9:39Speaker 1: for him to get bullied, especially when he's in his twenties.
- 9:41Speaker 1: I wouldn't even bother with that. But yeah, it seems
- 9:44Speaker 1: like every movie was some way, shape or form involving
- 9:47Speaker 1: some sort of trauma and how people dealt with it.
- 9:51Speaker 1: But the really cool thing that this one guy posted
- 9:54Speaker 1: his name is Joey Klick on Facebook. He posted this
- 9:58Speaker 1: thing that he had an epiphany about the new trilogy,
- 10:01Speaker 1: which is the fact that David Gordon Green essentially warranted
- 10:05Speaker 1: or not warranted. He got the same response that the
- 10:09Speaker 1: original three movies did because the twenty eighteen, nineteen seventy
- 10:12Speaker 1: eight are you know, Michael is being transported, there's a
- 10:15Speaker 1: character who knows he's pure evil. This time it's Lorii
- 10:18Speaker 1: instead of Loomis. The shape escapes, and then there's a
- 10:22Speaker 1: bad doctor this time instead of a good doctor. Babysitters die,
- 10:27Speaker 1: Michael battles the heroin and we think he's dead, but
- 10:29Speaker 1: he isn't, you know, getting up on the lawn in
- 10:31Speaker 1: seventy eight and this time with the breathing at the
- 10:33Speaker 1: end of the first one and the Halloween Kills essentially
- 10:36Speaker 1: a remake of two. Majority of the movie takes place
- 10:38Speaker 1: in a movie with Louri being sidelined the whole time,
- 10:40Speaker 1: major complaints from the original sequel and as our protagonist
- 10:44Speaker 1: isn't as active, which that's the thing I said. I
- 10:46Speaker 1: was like, it's like Laurie wasn't even in the movie.
- 10:47Speaker 1: But that's kind of how two was the original one,
- 10:50Speaker 1: and then both films feature Michael and the killing rampage,
- 10:53Speaker 1: he being much more brutal and kills and Halloween two
- 10:56Speaker 1: and then three, which if you know anything about Halloween
- 10:59Speaker 1: three season of the Witch, uh, it's like the weirdo
- 11:03Speaker 1: cousin of the Halloween movies because it doesn't it doesn't
- 11:05Speaker 1: involve Michael Myers. It involves a completely different storyline. And
- 11:08Speaker 1: that's exactly what he did with Corey. He made it
- 11:10Speaker 1: about something else. And even the fucking texts that they
- 11:15Speaker 1: use for twenty eighteen Killed or Halloween Kills and Halloween
- 11:19Speaker 1: Ends are all the same texts from Halloween one, two,
- 11:22Speaker 1: and three, So there's a lot of parallels going on.
- 11:24Speaker 1: But it's like, if you it's a weird decision as
- 11:27Speaker 1: a filmmaker to be like, I want to elicit the
- 11:29Speaker 1: same responses as the original ones, and everyone's gonna hate
- 11:32Speaker 1: the third one. Why, Like you know what I mean?
- 11:34Speaker 1: If that's what you want, You wanted people to not
- 11:36Speaker 1: like this movie? Fucking why make the movie it is?
- 11:40Speaker 2: It's a commentary on how much like with so many fandoms,
- 11:46Speaker 2: people say they love something, but then you give them
- 11:49Speaker 2: what they ask for and they hate how you presented it.
- 11:52Speaker 2: And it's like it happens with everything. Every remake is
- 11:57Speaker 2: usually received poorly good or bad. They're like, rarely are
- 12:02Speaker 2: they unanimously received better? You know, it happens in yeah,
- 12:10Speaker 2: horror movies, it happens in Marvel, it happens in Star Wars.
- 12:13Speaker 2: Like you wanted more of this content, we have to
- 12:16Speaker 2: create new stories and then you're mad that we created
- 12:20Speaker 2: new stories, and it's like, yeah, you do have to
- 12:23Speaker 2: try to update it. You do have to bring in
- 12:25Speaker 2: more current social topics. You do have to find new
- 12:29Speaker 2: and creative ways to scare people. If you want to
- 12:31Speaker 2: watch the exact same movie over again, put on the
- 12:34Speaker 2: fucking original and stop asking.
- 12:36Speaker 3: For more stuff.
- 12:37Speaker 1: And yeah, and this is one franchise where the original
- 12:40Speaker 1: is revered as the best, and of course, if you've
- 12:43Speaker 1: listened to this podcast, you know that's not at all
- 12:45Speaker 1: how I feel. I don't think the movie's bad in
- 12:47Speaker 1: any shape or form, but I absolutely don't think it's
- 12:51Speaker 1: the best one. I appreciate what it has done for
- 12:54Speaker 1: slashers and you know the move, because I mean essentially
- 12:57Speaker 1: that is what really kicked off all the slashers in
- 13:00Speaker 1: the eighties because before Texas Jains Saw, you had very
- 13:04Speaker 1: few are sorry, before Halloween from seventy eight, you had
- 13:07Speaker 1: very few actual like slasher movies, the like you know,
- 13:11Speaker 1: John Carbenter's original Halloween is really credited as like the
- 13:14Speaker 1: true like the first true slasher. So I appreciate everything
- 13:17Speaker 1: it's done, and I am growing to like it more
- 13:20Speaker 1: over time. But I don't know, I just feel like
- 13:22Speaker 1: people that like Halloween are obsessed with the first movie
- 13:26Speaker 1: so much that they nothing will ever match that for them.
- 13:28Speaker 1: So they're just they you know, they pick up heart
- 13:31Speaker 1: everything about the movie is for me. I am the opposite.
- 13:34Speaker 1: I look at everything I liked about the movie and take,
- 13:38Speaker 1: you know, enjoy what I can because did I like
- 13:40Speaker 1: the story? No, it's fucking stupid. Why are we making
- 13:43Speaker 1: it about Corey.
- 13:44Speaker 3: Yeah, well liked it. If it had been its own movie,
- 13:47Speaker 3: that would have been a great story.
- 13:48Speaker 1: Like something something a Halloween tale, you know what I mean,
- 13:51Speaker 1: like what they did with us Rogue one a Star
- 13:54Speaker 1: Wars story.
- 13:55Speaker 2: Or like they could have done something like freaky make
- 13:58Speaker 2: up a serial killer, give them backstory, give him a
- 14:01Speaker 2: spooky mask, set that person to be the thing that
- 14:04Speaker 2: comes into contact Corey.
- 14:05Speaker 3: Make your own separate fucking film.
- 14:08Speaker 2: Yeah, because everything that happened with him was interesting and
- 14:12Speaker 2: cool and like, I really liked what happened with him,
- 14:14Speaker 2: But in the context of a Halloween film, you're.
- 14:16Speaker 3: Like, what why is this here?
- 14:18Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 14:18Speaker 3: Why it does not belong here?
- 14:20Speaker 1: Yeah? And and Michael Myers is, you know, barely in it.
- 14:24Speaker 1: I think he had eight total minutes of screen time.
- 14:27Speaker 1: And you know, it's funny because people online were like,
- 14:30Speaker 1: he only had eight minutes, and then people told U,
- 14:33Speaker 1: I think he has about nine and a half or
- 14:34Speaker 1: eleven minutes in the original. So people were like, that's
- 14:37Speaker 1: not a valid argument because he barely has more screen
- 14:39Speaker 1: time than the original. So it's like, but at the
- 14:41Speaker 1: end of the day, it does make It doesn't make
- 14:43Speaker 1: sense to not have your pro your know, your antagonist
- 14:45Speaker 1: be the focal point of the last movie of a
- 14:48Speaker 1: specific trilogy.
- 14:49Speaker 3: Beatles only had fifteen minutes.
- 14:51Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yeah, that's weird, but I know that happens
- 14:54Speaker 1: all the time.
- 14:55Speaker 3: That's not unusual.
- 14:55Speaker 1: It's not unusual. But you would expect him to have
- 14:58Speaker 1: more screen time, you know, if for the last you
- 15:00Speaker 1: would just kind of expect it, you know what I mean.
- 15:02Speaker 1: But he doesn't. And he's also kind of just weak
- 15:05Speaker 1: in this one.
- 15:06Speaker 3: And he's like four hundred years old.
- 15:08Speaker 2: I don't care how super psychic strength he's got. He's
- 15:12Speaker 2: still fucking old. He's still working in a body that,
- 15:16Speaker 2: by the way, four years prior to the events of
- 15:18Speaker 2: this film, had been beat to absolute shit after.
- 15:23Speaker 3: Being on fire.
- 15:24Speaker 2: Yeah, and please tell me about all the medical treatment
- 15:28Speaker 2: he received. The fact that he didn't die of infection
- 15:32Speaker 2: is impressive. So yeah, of course he's all frail and shit.
- 15:35Speaker 2: He never had medical treatment. He got beat up, and
- 15:37Speaker 2: then he was living in a fucking hole.
- 15:39Speaker 1: Well. I think the problem with that though, that even
- 15:41Speaker 1: I kind of have, is Yeah, but he's never been
- 15:44Speaker 1: I mean, I guess if they're trying to do something
- 15:46Speaker 1: different and actually kind of humanize him more than all
- 15:50Speaker 1: the other movies because he's just an unstoppable killing machine
- 15:52Speaker 1: that doesn't ever ever show really weakness. Like remember when
- 15:56Speaker 1: he killed for the first time, then he started shaking
- 15:58Speaker 1: and convulsing like he was coming back to life. I
- 16:00Speaker 1: was like, what the fuck was recharge? Yeah, it was
- 16:04Speaker 1: just weird. So I don't know. I have so many
- 16:06Speaker 1: mixed feelings on it, but at the end of the day,
- 16:08Speaker 1: I still enjoyed it. I liked it more than Kills
- 16:11Speaker 1: and that's literally all I wanted. I was like, just
- 16:14Speaker 1: give me. I said, give me a three star movie
- 16:17Speaker 1: and I'll be happy. And that's exactly what I got,
- 16:19Speaker 1: a three star movie. It was good to an extent,
- 16:22Speaker 1: it was bad to an extent, but I think we
- 16:24Speaker 1: can all agree that had one of the most solid intros.
- 16:27Speaker 1: It was not Halloween at all, but that fucking cold
- 16:30Speaker 1: opened was absolutely insane. The kid smashed face. It was crazy.
- 16:35Speaker 3: So look, I'm gonna say something here.
- 16:39Speaker 2: Okay, I hope so, and I am sorry everybody else.
- 16:46Speaker 1: Oh, okay, I don't like this.
- 16:48Speaker 2: I don't care about the Halloween movies. I enjoy watching
- 16:51Speaker 2: them with you when they're on. I liked the twenty
- 16:54Speaker 2: eighteen one. Michael Myers has never been interesting to me.
- 16:59Speaker 2: Oh and I'm sorry, but like, oh.
- 17:05Speaker 1: You you're the real monster.
- 17:07Speaker 3: Oh boy, I'm sorry.
- 17:09Speaker 2: I know everybody like absolutely loves Michael Myers.
- 17:13Speaker 3: I don't care. He doesn't make noise.
- 17:16Speaker 2: The most exciting feature is his ability to kill people, which,
- 17:19Speaker 2: weirdly enough, I can watch so many other films where
- 17:23Speaker 2: people are just as good at killing people in creative manners.
- 17:28Speaker 3: And they have actual, like character traits.
- 17:34Speaker 2: And this is why I'm into more into things like Scream,
- 17:37Speaker 2: because it's like, uh, damn, but he's on the phone.
- 17:43Speaker 3: There's more like there's more of that, where is he?
- 17:45Speaker 3: What's he doing? It's not like who the fuck is this?
- 17:48Speaker 3: Oh I'm dead?
- 17:49Speaker 2: And then there's like getting to the like the reason
- 17:53Speaker 2: why I'm sorry, but like it's more interesting to me,
- 17:55Speaker 2: and I'm what the fuck did you expect Michael Myers
- 17:57Speaker 2: to do the whole last movie? Again, He's a thousand
- 18:00Speaker 2: years old, he's been living in a hole. What did
- 18:03Speaker 2: you expect him to be doing? How much of the
- 18:05Speaker 2: film did you expect him to be in? Like, he's
- 18:08Speaker 2: clearly been hiding out for four years. He's not just
- 18:11Speaker 2: like hmm, well it's been four years. Time to get
- 18:14Speaker 2: out again. No, he was clearly, prior to Corey finding
- 18:21Speaker 2: his ass and at fucking like Cobweb cracking the wall,
- 18:26Speaker 2: was planning on living and dying in that in that
- 18:29Speaker 2: sewer because he had no intention. The homeless man said.
- 18:34Speaker 2: He occasionally drags people in there.
- 18:36Speaker 3: People who happened to be nearby. Dude did not care.
- 18:40Speaker 3: He was just gonna die.
- 18:43Speaker 1: I don't not to say, we just we just lost
- 18:45Speaker 1: half of our like twelve listeners. Okay, sorry everybody. That's yeah,
- 18:51Speaker 1: all the people that were here to hear us talk
- 18:53Speaker 1: are gone now because you don't care about Michael Myers.
- 18:55Speaker 3: I care about I'm kind of hurt, Freddy.
- 18:58Speaker 2: I really heard watching the Jason films, Do I think
- 19:01Speaker 2: Jason can be silly sometimes? Yeah, but I enjoyed them
- 19:03Speaker 2: more because you know, it's not like that one time, well,
- 19:08Speaker 2: one time he murdered his sister and that means everybody
- 19:11Speaker 2: has to die.
- 19:12Speaker 3: He's like, I was bullied and now I'm crazy Jason.
- 19:20Speaker 1: Oh well he was drowned.
- 19:23Speaker 3: Yeah, and he was all messed up in the and
- 19:25Speaker 3: that's okay.
- 19:26Speaker 2: So like he has more of a a motivation and
- 19:29Speaker 2: then the whole crazy your mom's telling you to kill
- 19:32Speaker 2: me motivation.
- 19:33Speaker 1: No, okay, I can okay, I can see common ground
- 19:36Speaker 1: with you on this situation, because it always bothered me
- 19:38Speaker 1: that the original Halloween does not explain anything. Kid just
- 19:41Speaker 1: snaps kills his sister, breaks out of the mental institute
- 19:44Speaker 1: for fucking what?
- 19:46Speaker 2: What reason?
- 19:47Speaker 1: You gotta give me a reason, That's what I'm saying, Like, I'm.
- 19:49Speaker 2: Sorry, I can't, like, I can't connect with them because
- 19:53Speaker 2: he's evil, But you know, I can't really connect with
- 19:55Speaker 2: him as enjoying him more as a villain.
- 19:56Speaker 3: Do I like his whole.
- 19:57Speaker 1: Aesthetic thing, yeah, oh, and fucking iconic, but his iconic.
- 20:02Speaker 3: Thing is standing around and staring and how good he
- 20:05Speaker 3: is killing people.
- 20:07Speaker 2: And I'm like, I can watch several other people do
- 20:10Speaker 2: lots of fun kills and then we get to find
- 20:14Speaker 2: out why they're so fucking crazy.
- 20:16Speaker 1: No, I agree with you. And that's why I think
- 20:18Speaker 1: the rob Zombie ones work for me so well is
- 20:20Speaker 1: because Zombie gave us a backstory. But everyone that loves
- 20:24Speaker 1: the original, we're like, we don't need a backstory, and
- 20:26Speaker 1: oh that's not how his backstory would have been and blah,
- 20:28Speaker 1: blah blah. I don't fucking care. There was a backstory,
- 20:31Speaker 1: there was sandom. Yeah, there was a reason for the madness.
- 20:33Speaker 1: You can't just give me no reason for madness. Every
- 20:36Speaker 1: single serial killer that has ever been alive has explained
- 20:39Speaker 1: what what. That's what I'm saying, Oh, yeah, has some
- 20:42Speaker 1: reason for doing it. Even if they say I don't know,
- 20:45Speaker 1: that's still a reason. That's what I'm saying, Like we did, Like,
- 20:50Speaker 1: I guess that's the same. I don't.
- 20:52Speaker 3: It's not like I hate him. I just I don't
- 20:54Speaker 3: really care that much.
- 20:56Speaker 2: Like I'll watch them when they're on, I'll watch them
- 20:58Speaker 2: with you. But I'm like, yeah, I'm like, I like
- 21:03Speaker 2: Laurie as a character. Well, I think I think more
- 21:06Speaker 2: so now she's a little on the odd side. But
- 21:08Speaker 2: you know, I think that's because they also tried to
- 21:11Speaker 2: wedge her personality over towards Jamie thee Curtis a little
- 21:14Speaker 2: bit towards the ladder side of these films.
- 21:17Speaker 1: Makes sense. But yeah, not having a motivation kills me.
- 21:20Speaker 1: And yeah, I guess I don't know. Really it is
- 21:23Speaker 1: an answer. But mostly, you know, most of the time,
- 21:24Speaker 1: when you listen to interviews with those people like all
- 21:26Speaker 1: the shit on Netflix you see with like Ted Bundy tapes,
- 21:28Speaker 1: like there's reasons for shit, like there was like something
- 21:31Speaker 1: in the childhood that fucked them up. Like there's no
- 21:33Speaker 1: explanation in the first movie. It's just like kid is
- 21:36Speaker 1: what like six or seven kills? Sister. Okay, don't like
- 21:39Speaker 1: that at all, but I guess a lot of people
- 21:41Speaker 1: enjoy the joy that exactly like the mystery of why
- 21:45Speaker 1: what drove him to that? I don't know. Fucking tell
- 21:47Speaker 1: me that would be great. I mean, I'd love to
- 21:49Speaker 1: have a reason, but we didn't get one until almost,
- 21:51Speaker 1: you know, thirty years later with Rob Zombie. So yeah,
- 21:54Speaker 1: it's very weird. You know, it seems to be that
- 21:58Speaker 1: everyone who really enjoyed Kills hates Ends. To be fair,
- 22:02Speaker 1: I haven't really heard anybody say anything good about Ends.
- 22:04Speaker 1: Everyone's saying it's the worst Halloween movie ever made, like
- 22:07Speaker 1: they haven't fucking seen Resurrection or Kill fucking Kills or Curse.
- 22:12Speaker 1: Like have you not seen any of those Halloween movies
- 22:14Speaker 1: because those are all were even fucking Calloween five is worse. Okay,
- 22:18Speaker 1: I'm sorry. All these people that are saying Ends is
- 22:20Speaker 1: the worst is I just I'm Sorry. I'm not saying
- 22:23Speaker 1: you're wrong, but you're wrong. There is far worse movies.
- 22:27Speaker 1: If we can't all agree that Resurrection is the worst,
- 22:29Speaker 1: I don't know what. I don't know what I'm doing
- 22:31Speaker 1: with my life anymore.
- 22:32Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 22:32Speaker 3: Sorry.
- 22:33Speaker 2: At this point, it's like, you know what, let Halloween end,
- 22:37Speaker 2: start a new franchise. Man, get a new killer, Like
- 22:41Speaker 2: we need someone that comes back for six or twelve
- 22:44Speaker 2: movies that's new and fresh, and we did not originate
- 22:49Speaker 2: in the seventies or eighties.
- 22:50Speaker 1: We have that which was his name is Art the
- 22:52Speaker 1: fucking clown. We haven't He's been in two movies. It's
- 22:55Speaker 1: still though, I'm saying, we still have. We have a
- 22:56Speaker 1: new like Slasher on our hands, who's kind of filling
- 22:58Speaker 1: in the void that Michael Myers is not because you know,
- 23:01Speaker 1: it's also indie, so it takes a lot more time
- 23:03Speaker 1: for them to get made. But we have two solid,
- 23:06Speaker 1: fucking terrifier movies, and we know he's gonna make more.
- 23:08Speaker 1: He's made like six million dollars so far on this
- 23:11Speaker 1: fucking movie that costs two hundred and fifty thousand.
- 23:14Speaker 2: I don't disagree with you, but but I'm disagreeing with
- 23:18Speaker 2: you because unlike Terrifier, these were more accessible because the
- 23:27Speaker 2: outright like Balls to the Wall, violence and Goren, Terrifier
- 23:31Speaker 2: really kind of limits the audience, whereas not now Sure
- 23:34Speaker 2: Halloween is like the parts are really exciting and other
- 23:38Speaker 2: parts are like, huh, this is taken a while. It's
- 23:42Speaker 2: accessible to people who haven't seen a scary movie before. Terrifier,
- 23:47Speaker 2: You show that to someone who's a little antsy about
- 23:50Speaker 2: getting into horror, and thetter ever fucking watch another horror
- 23:53Speaker 2: movie again, Like it's not accessible. We need something that
- 23:55Speaker 2: people can like get attached to, and like, Okay, I
- 23:59Speaker 2: guess go Face is someone we have that's more current
- 24:02Speaker 2: that like, we have different films and yes, obviously it's
- 24:05Speaker 2: a little different because it's someone so different is always
- 24:07Speaker 2: filling in the shoe.
- 24:09Speaker 1: Well it's also still twenty six years too, so.
- 24:13Speaker 2: Yeah, so like we need something more recent. That's like
- 24:16Speaker 2: because they just keep reusing the old stuff over and
- 24:19Speaker 2: over again.
- 24:19Speaker 1: We had Victor Crowley for like eight years, I think,
- 24:23Speaker 1: And I know Adam Green, I know he'd love to
- 24:26Speaker 1: make another one and I'd love to see more Victor Crowley.
- 24:28Speaker 1: Are you shitting me? Those are hatchet movies or some
- 24:30Speaker 1: of my favorite Slashers. It's because it's like Terrifier, it's
- 24:33Speaker 1: all like practical effects, and that's what I appreciate so
- 24:35Speaker 1: much about Terrifier is. But I can agree that yes,
- 24:39Speaker 1: it is a little bit more and I guess inaccessible
- 24:41Speaker 1: in the way that it's it is hyper gory.
- 24:44Speaker 3: And not that they're not fun to watch.
- 24:46Speaker 2: It's just like you got to give people room to
- 24:49Speaker 2: be interested in the films. Like, if you show someone
- 24:52Speaker 2: something that's so dark and violent, you're going to lose
- 24:56Speaker 2: an audience member because that is not the place you
- 24:59Speaker 2: start at.
- 24:59Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it's like showing someone a Serbian film for
- 25:02Speaker 1: their first horror movie, and then they'll never watch another.
- 25:04Speaker 3: One again, or probably movies and.
- 25:06Speaker 1: Probably just bleach their eyes so they don't have to
- 25:08Speaker 1: see anything ever again.
- 25:09Speaker 2: I guess you'd seen a lot of people talking about
- 25:12Speaker 2: how they're sick of people saying, oh, this movie wasn't
- 25:15Speaker 2: whenever they're sharing their favorite scary movies or movies they
- 25:17Speaker 2: found scary, people going oh, you don't know scary un
- 25:20Speaker 2: till you've seen a Serbian film or this or that,
- 25:22Speaker 2: like stop.
- 25:23Speaker 1: Oh, stop gatekeeping.
- 25:26Speaker 2: Like we get you've seen that movie. Nobody actually wants
- 25:30Speaker 2: to watch that movie. And if you did, good for you.
- 25:33Speaker 2: But that doesn't mean just because it was scary for you,
- 25:37Speaker 2: that doesn't mean like this film I can't think is scary,
- 25:39Speaker 2: Like just because you didn't think it was scary, I can.
- 25:42Speaker 3: I have a different level of fear.
- 25:44Speaker 2: It doesn't make me any less into horror movies because
- 25:47Speaker 2: I found a film with less horrifying ima imagery but
- 25:54Speaker 2: still found scary.
- 25:55Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like the people that are say, you know,
- 25:58Speaker 1: you're not a fan of horror until you've seen this,
- 26:00Speaker 1: or like I saw this one going around for a
- 26:02Speaker 1: long time. It was a meme where it's like, you
- 26:04Speaker 1: don't if you don't know who this man is, you're
- 26:05Speaker 1: not a true fan of horror. And it was Tom Savini,
- 26:07Speaker 1: and I commented. I was like, since when just knowing
- 26:10Speaker 1: about one person in horror or not knowing about them
- 26:13Speaker 1: make you a true fan. I was like, that's gatekeeping.
- 26:16Speaker 1: Stop stop it, stop it. You can be a true
- 26:18Speaker 1: fan of horror if you just enjoy watching or you
- 26:20Speaker 1: don't have to know who fucking Tom Savini is. And
- 26:23Speaker 1: also if you're not in the horror community. Of course,
- 26:25Speaker 1: you're not gonna know who that is. That's a very
- 26:27Speaker 1: niche person in horror. He's very well known. But like
- 26:31Speaker 1: it's like, oh, you have it.
- 26:31Speaker 2: You're not into horror if you haven't seen every film
- 26:34Speaker 2: from every horror icon. Like that's unattainable and it's unfair
- 26:38Speaker 2: to say, Oh, I get to decide what makes you
- 26:40Speaker 2: a horror fan. Yeah, maybe you just exclusively like one
- 26:44Speaker 2: series of horror movies.
- 26:45Speaker 3: You're still a horror fan.
- 26:47Speaker 2: Yeah, you're just you have a smaller like library to
- 26:52Speaker 2: choose from, which is fine.
- 26:54Speaker 3: You're allowed to do that.
- 26:55Speaker 1: Well, it's like me, I, you know, I didn't see
- 26:57Speaker 1: Nightmare on Elm Street until I think we said that
- 27:00Speaker 1: in the last episode last year the year before. So
- 27:02Speaker 1: am I not as true horror fan just because I
- 27:04Speaker 1: hadn't seen the Freddy movies.
- 27:05Speaker 2: I unfortunately saw it way too soon and that really
- 27:08Speaker 2: messed me up, man, just like I saw Scream too soon.
- 27:11Speaker 3: Movies that I.
- 27:12Speaker 2: Love and appreciate now, But when I was younger, people
- 27:15Speaker 2: showed those to me, and let me tell you, re fining.
- 27:19Speaker 2: Yeah that was some upsetting shit actually, come to think
- 27:23Speaker 2: of it.
- 27:23Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that was right. That there's two separate people
- 27:26Speaker 3: to show me those movies like those were terrifying. Those
- 27:29Speaker 3: really upset me.
- 27:31Speaker 2: And it wasn't until I was like in high school
- 27:34Speaker 2: that I started to get more into horror films, and
- 27:36Speaker 2: then I got way more into them when you and
- 27:38Speaker 2: I got together.
- 27:39Speaker 1: But it's like I have that effect on me.
- 27:41Speaker 3: I was more of a.
- 27:42Speaker 2: Casual horror fan growing up, and then it would be like, oh, well,
- 27:47Speaker 2: you're not horror fan enough because you don't know everything
- 27:50Speaker 2: about everything.
- 27:51Speaker 1: Yeah it's funny you say that, though, because that was
- 27:54Speaker 1: what one of my exes wasn't you know, like you
- 27:58Speaker 1: like liked horror, but didn't you know it wasn't really
- 28:01Speaker 1: into it like I was. So I showed her and
- 28:03Speaker 1: her friend's vhs and that was a horrible idea on
- 28:06Speaker 1: my end, because that's a pretty fucking terrifying movie if
- 28:09Speaker 1: you've seen it, and they're just like, what are you
- 28:11Speaker 1: making us to watch? Oh my god? And then you know,
- 28:12Speaker 1: like cut to like six months to a year later,
- 28:15Speaker 1: you know we're going to every horror movie in theaters.
- 28:16Speaker 1: So yeah, I I don't have that effect on people apparently,
- 28:20Speaker 1: where I just like make them watch horror movies like
- 28:23Speaker 1: watch this you fucking I'm forcing you to watch this.
- 28:25Speaker 1: And then I opened people's eyes to like these weird
- 28:27Speaker 1: obscure movies and they're like, ooh, I like horror now.
- 28:30Speaker 1: I'm like, well, it's you know, there's a lot of
- 28:32Speaker 1: stuff going on in horror. So I'm glad that Uh,
- 28:35Speaker 1: I'm glad that you it was well received by you,
- 28:37Speaker 1: because it could have been.
- 28:38Speaker 3: Because I was already watching movies.
- 28:40Speaker 2: There's plenty of horror movies that I've seen or you
- 28:42Speaker 2: had not seen yet or haven't seen because we watched
- 28:46Speaker 2: different movies and this is fun. Why do we because
- 28:49Speaker 2: then we can show each other different movies, Like there
- 28:51Speaker 2: are plenty of movies I've watched you never saw before,
- 28:54Speaker 2: and you would never have purposely watched, and then you
- 28:56Speaker 2: really enjoyed them aftertas looking.
- 28:58Speaker 1: At you sliding windows or sliding doors. That was one
- 29:01Speaker 1: of them.
- 29:02Speaker 2: Uh.
- 29:02Speaker 1: What was the other one that I really liked with
- 29:04Speaker 1: you and McGregor? And it was like the fifties or
- 29:07Speaker 1: whatever you and McGregor had like a penthouse. He was like,
- 29:10Speaker 1: this love fucking h It's so good. Yeah, I love
- 29:14Speaker 1: that movie.
- 29:15Speaker 3: Yeah, you also enjoyed Muriel's wedding.
- 29:17Speaker 2: These are films you wouldn't personally looked out for for yourself.
- 29:20Speaker 1: But it's like, even if I did see them, and
- 29:22Speaker 1: Failure to Launch that was another good one you showed me.
- 29:24Speaker 3: I never watched that with you?
- 29:26Speaker 1: What's what was the guy from Friends? Matthew Perry? What
- 29:30Speaker 1: was that?
- 29:30Speaker 3: One's Russian?
- 29:31Speaker 1: Wool's Russian? And there we go.
- 29:32Speaker 3: Who are you watching movies with?
- 29:34Speaker 1: I thought it was Failure to Launch? Who's in that?
- 29:36Speaker 2: That's Matthew McConaughey and Jay Sarah, Jessica Parker. Matthew McConaughey
- 29:41Speaker 2: and j Lo are in Wedding Planner. And we haven't
- 29:44Speaker 2: watched that yet because it's a fanuary.
- 29:46Speaker 3: You can't keep tracking fucking.
- 29:48Speaker 1: Will Okay, uh, where were we what were we talking about?
- 29:52Speaker 2: Oh, we were talking about gatekeeping. Horror should probably get
- 29:54Speaker 2: back on track.
- 29:54Speaker 1: Don't gate keep horror people, So let's go.
- 29:58Speaker 3: I want more horror movies, made horror more accessively.
- 30:01Speaker 1: Yes, we need more people to be fans of horror.
- 30:04Speaker 1: Don't get CEP. Don't make people feel bad, because if
- 30:06Speaker 1: you make people feel bad for not being a true
- 30:08Speaker 1: horror fan, then they might not they might just forget
- 30:10Speaker 1: about it. They'll be like, maybe this isn't for me,
- 30:11Speaker 1: you know what I mean?
- 30:12Speaker 2: So well, it's like, why do you think I have
- 30:14Speaker 2: such little Marvel stuff in my office? I have that
- 30:16Speaker 2: tight like I four figures. Maybe because I don't really
- 30:21Speaker 2: want to advertise that I'm big into Marvel because I'm
- 30:24Speaker 2: not big enough.
- 30:25Speaker 3: I like the movies, and that is not.
- 30:27Speaker 2: Considered a true Marvel fan because I haven't read every
- 30:31Speaker 2: fucking comic, even though I would if I even knew
- 30:33Speaker 2: where to goddamn begin.
- 30:34Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a Marvel fan. It's not my personality, just
- 30:39Speaker 1: like Harry Potter or not, although the office does seem
- 30:41Speaker 1: to be my personality, so there you go. Yeah, oh
- 30:44Speaker 1: shut up. So my thirty one days of Horror continues
- 30:48Speaker 1: with so much shit we had. We watched like a
- 30:51Speaker 1: so many movies. So let's see. I watched sleep Away two,
- 30:55Speaker 1: sleep sleep Away or two, sleep Away Camp two and three.
- 30:58Speaker 1: I thought they were both excell movies, so fun and campy. Shockingly,
- 31:04Speaker 1: Shocker was also a great Wes Craven joint Extorcist three
- 31:08Speaker 1: and Death becomes Her four stars. Oh yeah, and then
- 31:11Speaker 1: Sleepway Camp two three, Shocker three and a half. Pet
- 31:14Speaker 1: Cemetery too, actually a really fun time with Edward Furlong
- 31:17Speaker 1: and Clanty Brown Brown, Clancy Brown, Clancy, Clancy Deuce. What's
- 31:23Speaker 1: his name, Jeff Matthews, Clanty Brown, Old King, That's what
- 31:31Speaker 1: I was thinking of. Yeah, Clancy Brown is one of
- 31:34Speaker 1: the prison guards in Shawshank. He's also in Flubber and
- 31:38Speaker 1: other movies. But that was a really good campy movie.
- 31:41Speaker 1: It was just so silly and wacky. And then we've
- 31:44Speaker 1: got Raising Caine, which I made you watch with me,
- 31:48Speaker 1: which I thought was a fucking brilliant movie and fun
- 31:51Speaker 1: fact to everybody listening, because everybody told you this twice.
- 31:55Speaker 1: Well here goes for the third time. He want me
- 31:57Speaker 1: to I can boy, this is cool. So I was
- 32:01Speaker 1: looking at what the difference between theatrical and director's cut was,
- 32:03Speaker 1: because I always do that. Sometimes it's worth it to
- 32:06Speaker 1: watch the directors, sometimes it's not. In this case, however,
- 32:09Speaker 1: with Raising Caine, the director's cut is not a director's
- 32:13Speaker 1: cut because some random dude in Holland, some random dutch
- 32:18Speaker 1: Man saw the film somehow got the copy of it.
- 32:22Speaker 1: I don't know, he recut the film into the director's cut,
- 32:27Speaker 1: quote unquote Brian de Palma. Somehow got his hands on it,
- 32:31Speaker 1: watched it, and liked it enough that he asked Scream
- 32:34Speaker 1: Factory to include that cut in the Blu ray that
- 32:38Speaker 1: they put out. So the director's cut is more of
- 32:41Speaker 1: a fan cut, and apparently I haven't seen the theatrical.
- 32:44Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back and watch it now to see
- 32:46Speaker 1: the differences. But the director's cut is much more mysterious
- 32:50Speaker 1: than intriguing. And I can tell you that movie was
- 32:51Speaker 1: a fucking trip. John Lithgow, I've always liked him. I
- 32:56Speaker 1: always thought he was great. I loved him in Dexter.
- 32:58Speaker 1: Of course, I always think of Lord Farka when I
- 33:00Speaker 1: see or when I hear his voice as well, But
- 33:03Speaker 1: he was I thought he was brilliant in this movie.
- 33:04Speaker 1: He portrayed a crazy person so well, and everything in
- 33:09Speaker 1: that movie was I don't know, like you enjoyed it, right,
- 33:12Speaker 1: you know?
- 33:13Speaker 3: I did.
- 33:13Speaker 2: I thought it was really fun. I really did keep
- 33:16Speaker 2: you on your toes. I mean, obviously we figured it
- 33:19Speaker 2: out because it is also an older movie, so the
- 33:22Speaker 2: mystery storytelling some of it, we were just like, oh,
- 33:25Speaker 2: this is probably it, and then you know, you really
- 33:26Speaker 2: don't know Jill the end, especially with that edit, I'm
- 33:29Speaker 2: sure it was different with the original edit, but yeah,
- 33:31Speaker 2: it was.
- 33:31Speaker 1: Much more nonlinear in the director's cut.
- 33:34Speaker 2: I thought it was really fun and I thought they
- 33:37Speaker 2: did a great job with it.
- 33:38Speaker 1: Yeah. I gave that one four and a half because
- 33:40Speaker 1: I really, I really enjoyed that one. Did not expect
- 33:43Speaker 1: to see to enjoy that one so much because it
- 33:45Speaker 1: only has a three point two on letterbox. But that's
- 33:48Speaker 1: probably because most people because I even posted this to
- 33:51Speaker 1: a few groups and I was like, make sure you
- 33:52Speaker 1: watch the director's cut, and on every single post in
- 33:55Speaker 1: every you know, one of the groups that were like,
- 33:56Speaker 1: there's a director's cut, like, oh yeah, and then I
- 33:58Speaker 1: told him the story in a little blurb. I was like,
- 34:00Speaker 1: if you haven't seen it, and then everyone's like buying
- 34:01Speaker 1: it on Amazon. I'm like, oh shit, okay, so apparently
- 34:03Speaker 1: people don't even know what the director's cut. So if
- 34:05Speaker 1: you haven't seen Raising Kane and you haven't seen the
- 34:07Speaker 1: director's cut, just buy it from shot Factory. It's like
- 34:09Speaker 1: sixteen bucks. It was just a surprise movie that I
- 34:12Speaker 1: didn't anticipate to like as much as I did. Super Solid.
- 34:15Speaker 1: And then the last thing I watched was today, and
- 34:17Speaker 1: that was Clive Barker's Lord of Illusions, which I quite
- 34:22Speaker 1: thoroughly enjoyed, and I think you would actually enjoy this
- 34:25Speaker 1: as well. Very nineties, especially with some of the cg
- 34:30Speaker 1: But what's his face is in it? Scott Vacula is
- 34:33Speaker 1: in it? And he is he is fantastic love Scott
- 34:36Speaker 1: Bacula and fam Ka Jensen, super young Fomka Jensen cut Famkagensen. Whatever.
- 34:43Speaker 1: But yeah, Lord of Illusions, it's probably my favorite Clive
- 34:46Speaker 1: Barker directed movie so far, because Night Breed was weird.
- 34:50Speaker 1: We all know how I feel about hell Razor, but
- 34:52Speaker 1: this one. I enjoyed this one very much. My favorite
- 34:57Speaker 1: Clive Barker like movie of all time is obviously Midnight
- 34:59Speaker 1: Me Trained, but he didn't, so you know. But yeah,
- 35:01Speaker 1: that's what I've been watching. You've been watching pretty much
- 35:03Speaker 1: the same thing as me and mine, as some of
- 35:04Speaker 1: my thirty one days of horror. And we watched Scream
- 35:06Speaker 1: one and two the other day, and we're gonna watch
- 35:08Speaker 1: the other three at some point because you can't just
- 35:11Speaker 1: watch one or two. Yeah, gotta go to the dumpster
- 35:13Speaker 1: fire and then it brings it back with four and
- 35:16Speaker 1: five is just fucking awesome. Oh yeah, we gotta do
- 35:19Speaker 1: our lists. We gotta do our lists. Did you not
- 35:24Speaker 1: you said you did a list.
- 35:26Speaker 3: Yeah, it's my overalls in the other arm.
- 35:27Speaker 1: You should go get it while I kill some time. Okay, wait,
- 35:30Speaker 1: you wrote it down, you didn't put it on your phone.
- 35:33Speaker 1: I go run and get it quickly. I'll just kill
- 35:39Speaker 1: some time by saying no, I will and I will
- 35:42Speaker 1: not do that. So, uh, what's going on, Zuel? I
- 35:47Speaker 1: don't have any treats for you. I have to kill
- 35:49Speaker 1: some time. No idea how long she's gonna be? Oh goodness,
- 35:54Speaker 1: but yes, it is a is exciting time, an exciting
- 35:56Speaker 1: time for horror right now, especially because it's October. We
- 36:00Speaker 1: been watching The Midnight Club by Mike flanagain. We are
- 36:03Speaker 1: like five episodes into that. It is uh, definitely different
- 36:07Speaker 1: than his normal stuff. I feel like I've already said
- 36:08Speaker 1: this on a previous episode, but I've been on like
- 36:10Speaker 1: three podcasts in the last week, so I can't remember
- 36:13Speaker 1: half the fucking shit I say. You were sprinting. Hey,
- 36:17Speaker 1: all right, so I told you to do five. I
- 36:19Speaker 1: did fifteen because I couldn't fuck it. You couldn't just
- 36:22Speaker 1: I couldn't arrow it down. Man, I brought to make
- 36:24Speaker 1: me look back. I broke them up into five sections
- 36:26Speaker 1: of five or three sections of five. I didn't do
- 36:28Speaker 1: twenty five.
- 36:29Speaker 2: I five, we're gonna go from five from field get
- 36:32Speaker 2: to explain why?
- 36:33Speaker 1: Sure, I mean, I I have two on here that
- 36:36Speaker 1: really aren't slashers. So, uh so we're gonna do our
- 36:42Speaker 1: We were gonna do an NBA draft style picking of
- 36:46Speaker 1: favorite slashers, but I figured mining years are gonna be
- 36:48Speaker 1: totally different anyway, So we're just gonna do our top
- 36:50Speaker 1: five slashers. I did fifteen because I have no self control.
- 36:55Speaker 1: But we'll do our five and then I'll name off
- 36:57Speaker 1: mine and then we'll keep going.
- 36:58Speaker 3: So uh and then we'll get to the movie.
- 37:00Speaker 1: Then we'll get to the movie. Yeah, so what's your number?
- 37:01Speaker 1: What's your fifth? One? Oh?
- 37:03Speaker 3: I had to order these.
- 37:04Speaker 1: Uh well, yeah, I figured least favorite, you know, least
- 37:06Speaker 1: favorite to favorite.
- 37:09Speaker 2: I will go with the butcher from Freaky Oh okay nice.
- 37:15Speaker 2: I only selected him sometimes her because of the creativity
- 37:21Speaker 2: and the adaptability of the kills, like I will kill
- 37:24Speaker 2: you with what's most conveniently nearby, never like oh, I'm
- 37:27Speaker 2: gonna get something that's more like glanced to the left,
- 37:30Speaker 2: bottle of lance to the right. Oh there's something right there. Perfect,
- 37:33Speaker 2: I'll murder you with that. So I really appreciate that
- 37:37Speaker 2: enthusiasm and just like I will, just let the universe
- 37:40Speaker 2: bring me your your murder weapon.
- 37:42Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how it should always be done. Number five
- 37:46Speaker 1: for me is Art the Clown. Not gonna explain that one,
- 37:49Speaker 1: pretty self explanatory shocker. You don't, you don't, you don't,
- 37:53Speaker 1: you don't even know, you don't even know. You think
- 37:57Speaker 1: someone's gonna be on my top five, but they're not
- 37:59Speaker 1: on my top five, and so far it was what's
- 38:02Speaker 1: your four?
- 38:03Speaker 3: Adrian Griffin the Invisible Man?
- 38:06Speaker 1: What the fuck?
- 38:07Speaker 3: Think about it?
- 38:08Speaker 2: And is a guy who is invisible who is killing
- 38:10Speaker 2: people around mostly the kills take place around one woman.
- 38:14Speaker 3: But not only does he you know, kill people with this.
- 38:18Speaker 1: Oh then remake, Yeah, but he.
- 38:20Speaker 2: Gaslights her into thinking she's crazy. That's killing with you
- 38:24Speaker 2: know some flavor?
- 38:26Speaker 1: Wow, you got some really creative answers. These are far
- 38:28Speaker 1: better than mine.
- 38:29Speaker 2: Ha.
- 38:30Speaker 3: No, they're gonna just fall apart.
- 38:31Speaker 1: Uh oh.
- 38:32Speaker 3: Towards the top.
- 38:33Speaker 1: Number four Victor Crowley, again not explaining.
- 38:35Speaker 3: That art and oh my god, I can't believe it art.
- 38:38Speaker 1: The Clown and Victor Crowley are both like new Age
- 38:41Speaker 1: old horse old horror, old horror. There are new age
- 38:46Speaker 1: movies with.
- 38:47Speaker 2: Old school horror, gore moments, the old horror Old Horrors.
- 38:53Speaker 1: Number three for you, Freddy, Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not
- 38:57Speaker 1: You don't need to explain that. Chucky for me again,
- 39:00Speaker 1: don't need to explain it. I love his attitude and
- 39:03Speaker 1: he's just he's just it's so much fun.
- 39:05Speaker 3: You're finally gonna get to check out the show.
- 39:07Speaker 1: Yeah with Brad Door voicing him. No offense to Mark Hamill,
- 39:09Speaker 1: because I can't. I can't even be mad at Mark Hamill,
- 39:12Speaker 1: Like he's a great voice actor and an awesome human
- 39:14Speaker 1: being and a great actor. But I just it wasn't Chucky.
- 39:17Speaker 1: So I thought the.
- 39:18Speaker 3: Movie was fine. It was just a little on the
- 39:19Speaker 3: silly side.
- 39:20Speaker 1: Yeah, and the CG did not look CG. But yeah,
- 39:22Speaker 1: Chucky for me. Number two Peach Fuzz, Oh shit.
- 39:27Speaker 3: Instead of being.
- 39:28Speaker 2: The slasher that comes to you, he lures people in.
- 39:33Speaker 2: Sometimes they get away, but you know he gets to
- 39:35Speaker 2: it either way. The uh, luring someone in, exposing you're
- 39:39Speaker 2: crazy from the get go, and getting them to stay.
- 39:42Speaker 1: It's beautiful Wow, all right, my number two not really
- 39:45Speaker 1: a slasher, but I don't care. I'm bending the rules.
- 39:47Speaker 2: Jigsaw, Oh my god, I could have made your top
- 39:50Speaker 2: five for you.
- 39:51Speaker 1: Fuck off. You would have put Jason in there.
- 39:54Speaker 3: Uh probably yeah?
- 39:56Speaker 2: Uh.
- 39:57Speaker 1: Ghost Face be on No.
- 39:57Speaker 2: No One for me's ghost Face. I never loving ghost
- 40:01Speaker 2: Face despite it being the thing that traumatized me for
- 40:03Speaker 2: well over a year.
- 40:04Speaker 1: That's fair.
- 40:05Speaker 2: There is something really beautiful about a horror icon that
- 40:11Speaker 2: people can't those horror icons, the people cannot stop feeling
- 40:16Speaker 2: compelled to pick up the mantle and commit some murder.
- 40:20Speaker 1: With Yep, You're never gonna guess my number one. It's impossible.
- 40:24Speaker 1: It is impossible. I want you to guess first.
- 40:27Speaker 3: Go ahead, now.
- 40:28Speaker 1: You cause you're gonna be like, oh, it's what I
- 40:30Speaker 1: was going to guess. No, you guess first.
- 40:31Speaker 3: I really won't if it's not.
- 40:33Speaker 1: Yeah, another one that's not when you think of it's
- 40:37Speaker 1: like you you have to think about it. He is
- 40:38Speaker 1: a slasher in a way because he's murdering the shit
- 40:41Speaker 1: out of people. It's mahogany from Maybe.
- 40:44Speaker 3: I wouldn't have thought you put that on the midnight.
- 40:46Speaker 1: Meat Train because he's more of a butcher when you
- 40:48Speaker 1: think about it. But he is still he is still
- 40:51Speaker 1: murdering people with handheld fucking instruments on the subway.
- 40:55Speaker 3: So that is a rule. Because I asked you and
- 40:56Speaker 3: you said that wasn't a rule.
- 40:58Speaker 1: What well no, no, no, no, I'm saying it does. It
- 41:00Speaker 1: does actually fit the like stereotypical slasher. He's killing people
- 41:03Speaker 1: with cleavers with hooks, like handheld things. So that's my
- 41:07Speaker 1: number one.
- 41:08Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 41:08Speaker 2: Sorry, my list took a while to make because you
- 41:11Speaker 2: asked me, and then I suddenly forgot everything horror icon ever,
- 41:17Speaker 2: what horror movies I had ever seen, and what a
- 41:20Speaker 2: slasher was.
- 41:20Speaker 3: I'm like, oh my god, my brain is so blank.
- 41:23Speaker 2: Right, yeah, and then you were like, try not to
- 41:26Speaker 2: pick all the obvious ones.
- 41:28Speaker 3: I'm like, oh my god, I don't know if I've
- 41:30Speaker 3: ever seen them.
- 41:31Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why I tried to. You know, we both
- 41:33Speaker 1: had like one major one, Like I had Chuckie, you had,
- 41:36Speaker 1: you know, I.
- 41:36Speaker 2: Had goes Face in Freddy to be fair, Freddy, he's awesome. Yeah,
- 41:40Speaker 2: and I tried to pick.
- 41:41Speaker 3: Some more niche ones.
- 41:43Speaker 1: No, I like that was from Creep and Creep two.
- 41:46Speaker 2: By the way, there's gonna be a creep three one
- 41:48Speaker 2: day if what's his Facebook?
- 41:49Speaker 3: Stop acting in television and get back to his ship.
- 41:53Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh. Six through ten, we've got Jason or sorry,
- 41:57Speaker 1: going six to ten, Jason the Collector, Freddie Michael Myers,
- 42:01Speaker 1: and then the Fishermen from My Note you did Last
- 42:02Speaker 1: Summer eleven to fifteen, Angela from Sleeve Away Camp two
- 42:06Speaker 1: and three, Todd Slash, Terry from Blood Rage, Russ Thorne
- 42:09Speaker 1: from Sumber Powdy Massacre, Cropsy from the Collector, No Cropsy
- 42:12Speaker 1: from the Burning not the Collector, and Frank from Maniac Boom. Yeah.
- 42:17Speaker 1: So yeah, let's get onto this movie. As you know,
- 42:21Speaker 1: this is the last episode where you maybe don't maybe
- 42:23Speaker 1: don't know. This is the last episode of Slash Tober.
- 42:26Speaker 1: This was an all scream factory slashed over. We began
- 42:29Speaker 1: the month with a not so traditional slasher, the Strangers,
- 42:33Speaker 1: but at the end of the day it is three
- 42:35Speaker 1: people in masks with knives. I'm calling it a slasher.
- 42:38Speaker 1: Stop making face some me. Then we did Behind the
- 42:40Speaker 1: Mass Rise of Leslie verh no, sorry sorry. We did
- 42:43Speaker 1: Candy Man, which again guy with hook killing people slasher,
- 42:48Speaker 1: and then we did Behind the Mass Rise of Leslie Vernon,
- 42:50Speaker 1: which was literally about a serial killer coming back to
- 42:53Speaker 1: murder people, and now Cherry Falls is going to cap
- 42:56Speaker 1: this month off in the most epic way, imaginable that
- 42:59Speaker 1: you never would have thought because this is balls to
- 43:03Speaker 1: the wall slasher. We're talking moments towards the end of
- 43:05Speaker 1: the movie, we're slash slash slash slash like it's amazing,
- 43:09Speaker 1: So go ahead. Oh no, I gotta go ahead. Sorry,
- 43:12Speaker 1: I gotta do the thing over here, faces at me.
- 43:15Speaker 3: I was trying to say something ahead and stop talking.
- 43:17Speaker 3: Im okay.
- 43:18Speaker 2: By the way, speaking of Candy Man, for those of
- 43:20Speaker 2: you who've seen it on there, it's more geared towards
- 43:22Speaker 2: like teens and whatnot. But there is the School for
- 43:25Speaker 2: Good and Evil that went on Netflix, which has a
- 43:27Speaker 2: wildly like why has everyone in this film been nominated
- 43:31Speaker 2: for an.
- 43:31Speaker 3: Oscar at some point kind of vibe to it.
- 43:34Speaker 2: Not the kids, obviously they were terrible, most of them acting,
- 43:38Speaker 2: but it There was actually a moment where a black
- 43:42Speaker 2: guy in a trench coat was covered in bees and
- 43:46Speaker 2: I was like, you guys couldn't think of another animal
- 43:49Speaker 2: to put him in because it's like, why are you
- 43:51Speaker 2: doing a Candyman thing? In this movie right now, super bizarre.
- 43:56Speaker 2: It's a chaotic film, but.
- 43:57Speaker 3: It was kind of fun to watch though.
- 43:59Speaker 1: Dynamite, Yeah, it's like horror, Jason.
- 44:02Speaker 2: If you're like, you wouldn't show your kid a horror
- 44:03Speaker 2: movie because there's a lot of there's a lot of
- 44:05Speaker 2: like dark themes in it.
- 44:07Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Crimson Peak no like.
- 44:12Speaker 3: Becoming evil and uh evil.
- 44:15Speaker 1: Speaking of evil, let's talk about cherry Falls, pure evil.
- 44:20Speaker 1: So evil.
- 44:21Speaker 3: That's loosely interpreted.
- 44:22Speaker 1: From two thousand, released on October twentieth of that year,
- 44:26Speaker 1: straight to TVs. We'll get to that in the trivia.

- 45:25Speaker 1: with because this movie was so fucking awesome. Cinematography Anthony B.

- 45:57Speaker 2: comes there you go, let's not call him love movie.
- 46:00Speaker 2: That sounds like something else.
- 46:01Speaker 1: It's really trough, poor noos. It's really funny because when
- 46:04Speaker 1: we did candy Man, and I was like, oh, this
- 46:06Speaker 1: guy did Cherry Falls, which I just received from the mail.
- 46:09Speaker 1: Maybe we'll do that. At some point I was referring
- 46:11Speaker 1: to this episode You're Welcome, starring Britney Murphy as Jodie
- 46:15Speaker 1: markin sixty eight acting credits. Also in Clueless as Tie Girl,
- 46:19Speaker 1: interrupted as Daisy, and Just Married as Sarah. Are you

- 46:44Speaker 1: biggest bomb ever. Michael bine Bean as Sheriff Brent markin
- 46:49Speaker 1: one hundred and twelve acting credits. This guy is probably
- 46:51Speaker 1: the most well known because he was in Aliens as
- 46:53Speaker 1: Corporal Hicks, The Terminators Kyle Rees, and Planet Terror as
- 46:57Speaker 1: Sheriff Hague. Nothing oh, nothing important, No iconic movies at all.
- 47:03Speaker 1: And then we've got Jesse Bradford as Rod Harper fifty
- 47:06Speaker 1: five acting credits, I don't know why he's in there.
- 47:08Speaker 1: He dies in the first five minutes, so that was

- 48:40Speaker 1: and I was like, whoa, oh shit, very bloody. Did
- 48:44Speaker 1: you have a you know my favorite kills absolutely spoiler? Yeah, yeah,
- 48:49Speaker 1: favorite scene. No, sorry i added this in. I added
- 48:52Speaker 1: this in because I was like, this is something I
- 48:54Speaker 1: have to mention. But my favorite scene was the was
- 48:57Speaker 1: the fight between Jody and the killer in the lab
- 48:59Speaker 1: with the Matrix music in the background.
- 49:02Speaker 2: Oh, she was just wailing, stuffed like she climbed on
- 49:04Speaker 2: top of a like a cabinet. Yeah, don't go for
- 49:08Speaker 2: the door. Climb on a cabinet where apparently there was
- 49:11Speaker 2: a whole ass like box Cutter, just open and ready, and.
- 49:14Speaker 1: Then she was yeating glass jars down at the killer.
- 49:17Speaker 1: That was such an epic scene. I was like, it
- 49:19Speaker 1: can't get better than this. Oh but it does, Oh
- 49:22Speaker 1: but it does. Did you have a favorite character?
- 49:26Speaker 3: No, I mean Jody was fine.
- 49:28Speaker 1: Leonard for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you'll see. Least favorite
- 49:33Speaker 1: character for me is every rapie boy in this movie,
- 49:36Speaker 1: because it was about ninety percent of them.
- 49:38Speaker 2: You know. We were talking about this and I was like,
- 49:41Speaker 2: this film clearly hates women.
- 49:44Speaker 3: And then I realized, no, I've got that backwards.
- 49:48Speaker 2: This this film clearly thinks old men are trash.
- 49:52Speaker 3: Yeah, because that's actually.
- 49:53Speaker 1: The vin Yeah, but you don't get that at first
- 49:55Speaker 1: because there's like some very rapy moments in the beginning.
- 49:58Speaker 2: A lot of unnecessary pressure yeah, where he's like what
- 50:01Speaker 2: did he say?
- 50:02Speaker 1: I have to finish my mission and like try the
- 50:05Speaker 1: guy was saying.
- 50:05Speaker 2: Like some weird it was like one of those car
- 50:07Speaker 2: makeup scenes and the guy was saying all this weird
- 50:09Speaker 2: spacey type crap. And then he's like, let me show
- 50:12Speaker 2: you the way I love and he reaches his hands
- 50:15Speaker 2: between her legs and she's like uh no, and he goes,
- 50:18Speaker 2: I have to finish my mission, then proceeds forward anyway.
- 50:20Speaker 1: And she's like, no, what do you not understand about?
- 50:24Speaker 2: No? Yeah, and another guy who uh broke up with it.
- 50:27Speaker 2: We'll get into it, but uh yeah, just a lot
- 50:30Speaker 2: of I don't respect your boundaries, and I don't respect
- 50:34Speaker 2: your willing or your unwillingness to have sex with me
- 50:36Speaker 2: on demand.
- 50:37Speaker 1: It's kind of weird. No, I don't like that that
- 50:39Speaker 1: situation at all. Uh did you have did you have
- 50:42Speaker 1: a least favorite character?
- 50:44Speaker 2: I was gonna say Kenny, but he came back round,
- 50:47Speaker 2: which was confusing.
- 50:49Speaker 1: He's still a shit bag though, No, no, he is, but.
- 50:51Speaker 2: He came back round in such an unexpected way that
- 50:54Speaker 2: I was like, I can't hate him as much because
- 50:56Speaker 2: he is sticking it out in a really tough moment where.
- 50:59Speaker 3: He could have easily bailed if he were a shittier.
- 51:01Speaker 1: Person not played foot more often. This is great.
- 51:05Speaker 3: I don't even know when this started.
- 51:08Speaker 1: Did you have a favorite quoter line? I have? All right?
- 51:14Speaker 3: The lines were absolutely amazing. You know what I do
- 51:17Speaker 3: have one? It's schools out.
- 51:19Speaker 1: No scut No, no, no, it wasn't schools out. It
- 51:23Speaker 1: was a class dismiss Oh yes, yeah, so good. Oh yeah.
- 51:28Speaker 1: There there's a lot of wacky one liners in the
- 51:31Speaker 1: third act that come out of nowhere that just fucking
- 51:33Speaker 1: killed me that so I have three. One of them
- 51:35Speaker 1: was there's there's two people in the beginning of the
- 51:37Speaker 1: movie that die, and someone was like, well, you know,
- 51:39Speaker 1: is anybody mean to him or any memories? And someone's like,
- 51:44Speaker 1: she was like, I got in a fight with Rod
- 51:46Speaker 1: in eighth grade and told him to eat shit and die,
- 51:48Speaker 1: and then breaks down crying, and I'm like, okay, we
- 51:50Speaker 1: all just say things. I don't think you you know.
- 51:52Speaker 3: I don't think he's holding it again.
- 51:54Speaker 1: I think he's holding it against you. And then I
- 51:56Speaker 1: had the other two, which holy Hymen's batman, they're killing
- 51:59Speaker 1: virgins dead. And then my favorite one of all time
- 52:02Speaker 1: is if the students find out this person is killing virgins,
- 52:05Speaker 1: we're gonna have a fuck fest on our hands. The
- 52:07Speaker 1: best fucking laughs so loud. I hurt my own ears.
- 52:12Speaker 1: IMDb summary. In the small town of Cherry Falls, a
- 52:15Speaker 1: psychotic murder is killing off the virgins of the local
- 52:18Speaker 1: high school. Take it away. Oh boy.
- 52:21Speaker 2: So, as we previously stated, the film opens up on
- 52:24Speaker 2: a couple making out in a car, and then we
- 52:27Speaker 2: already explained everything the creepy boy did when he tried to,
- 52:32Speaker 2: you know, go full steam ahead when the girl said no, well,
- 52:36Speaker 2: she gets out of the car and he coaxes her
- 52:39Speaker 2: back into the car, which is insane.
- 52:41Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't believe she was willing. Agreed, Yeah, what
- 52:44Speaker 1: are you doing lady.
- 52:46Speaker 2: So they go back to like kind of talking and
- 52:49Speaker 2: making out again insane, h crazy, And some car pulls
- 52:54Speaker 2: up with the lights really bright, like they had the
- 52:56Speaker 2: brights on into the back of their cars.
- 52:58Speaker 3: So the guy gets.
- 52:59Speaker 2: Out, thinking it's one of his friends screwing around with him,
- 53:03Speaker 2: and uh.
- 53:04Speaker 3: They don't answer.
- 53:05Speaker 2: So when he walks up, it's someone with long hair. Basically,
- 53:11Speaker 2: I think he hits him with the door. The killer
- 53:14Speaker 2: like hits him with the door.
- 53:16Speaker 3: You can't see.
- 53:16Speaker 2: All you see is hair and a person, and the
- 53:19Speaker 2: killer like hits him with the door.
- 53:21Speaker 1: Sorry, I thought I tried to do that as off.
- 53:27Speaker 2: And like proceeds to just like beat the shit out
- 53:30Speaker 2: of this kid and the girl again, she does not
- 53:34Speaker 2: seem to be the brightest. Uh, just sits in the
- 53:37Speaker 2: car screaming at him to run, locks the doors and
- 53:41Speaker 2: then when they both disappear, she hears the boy crying
- 53:45Speaker 2: by the door, and so she finally lets unlocks it,
- 53:49Speaker 2: just in time for the killer to be exactly where
- 53:52Speaker 2: he was with his bait, or's just stay there bait
- 53:57Speaker 2: because you really don't know who it is, but with
- 54:01Speaker 2: the bait, and they like break into the car. The
- 54:05Speaker 2: girl tries to run away, the killer pins her against
- 54:10Speaker 2: the tree and starts murderating her. And when the film started,
- 54:15Speaker 2: I was like, Oh, it's a guy. And then you're like, oh,
- 54:20Speaker 2: they're wearing a skirt.
- 54:22Speaker 3: I was wrong. The killer's a woman.
- 54:23Speaker 1: Oh their nails are painted. Okay, not the same guys
- 54:26Speaker 1: can't paint their nails, but yeah, the long hair of
- 54:27Speaker 1: the nails, the skirt, You're like a woman killer. Interesting, Yeah,
- 54:32Speaker 1: I'm intrigued already, Like.
- 54:34Speaker 3: That doesn't happen as often, very very seldom.
- 54:37Speaker 2: So then it cuts over to another couple making out,
- 54:41Speaker 2: which is.
- 54:42Speaker 1: What It's just such a horny movie, Like, oh, I
- 54:44Speaker 1: was like, what did I say? Right off the bat?
- 54:46Speaker 1: I looked to do. It's like, is this like due?
- 54:48Speaker 1: This movie's already hornier than Bromstaker's Dracula.
- 54:50Speaker 2: Holy shit, I outright told you it's a movie about
- 54:55Speaker 2: people getting killed for being virgins.
- 54:57Speaker 3: What did you think was gonna happen in this film?
- 54:59Speaker 1: But sexuality? Yeah, I don't know. I didn't expect everyone
- 55:02Speaker 1: to be fucking like that already, like right off the bat.
- 55:05Speaker 3: Yeah. So it's Brittany Murphy's character, whose name once again
- 55:08Speaker 3: has left my head.
- 55:09Speaker 1: Her name is Jody.
- 55:10Speaker 3: Jody and her.
- 55:12Speaker 2: Shit heel boyfriend sometimes Kenny uh making out in a
- 55:16Speaker 2: car and he is talking about he is trying to
- 55:20Speaker 2: push things further, because apparently that's all the boys in
- 55:22Speaker 2: this town know how to do is disrespect boundaries.
- 55:26Speaker 1: Disrespect you about.
- 55:28Speaker 3: Oh you think you don't disrespect my bad?
- 55:31Speaker 1: Oh? Sorry, sorry don't yeah sorry, yeah, I mean yeah,
- 55:33Speaker 1: that's what yeah. Yeah.
- 55:34Speaker 2: Uh. So they're making out and she's like, no, I
- 55:38Speaker 2: don't want to do that yet, and he apparently takes
- 55:44Speaker 2: this to mean that he should break up with her
- 55:46Speaker 2: because she won't.
- 55:47Speaker 3: Have sex with him, which is always classy.
- 55:51Speaker 1: I mean, it has been a year.
- 55:53Speaker 2: Come on, you know, a year for a high school
- 55:55Speaker 2: teasing It's so crazy, it's been a year. Yeah, a
- 56:00Speaker 2: high schooler, if this is your first serious relationship, holding
- 56:04Speaker 2: hands may have been racy at the time, So maybe
- 56:07Speaker 2: simmer down.
- 56:08Speaker 1: If you're in your twenties or something and it's been
- 56:09Speaker 1: a year and you're not doing it, then like, hey,
- 56:12Speaker 1: there must be a reason at that point.
- 56:14Speaker 2: Yeah, but like a high school or take as much
- 56:16Speaker 2: time as you Actually, anyone should take as much time
- 56:18Speaker 2: as they need, but you know, like high schoolers generally,
- 56:22Speaker 2: that stuff goes a lot slower.
- 56:23Speaker 3: Anyway.
- 56:24Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm in drama or the band or something.
- 56:28Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I lost my virginity when I was nineteen,
- 56:31Speaker 1: so I would probably have died in this movie because
- 56:33Speaker 1: I was. We're sharing on air now, I mean, you know,
- 56:35Speaker 1: we're talking about virginity. So yeah, I was nine. I
- 56:38Speaker 1: was either I was it was eighteen or nineteen. It
- 56:40Speaker 1: was after high school though, I know that, but it
- 56:41Speaker 1: was before I was told.
- 56:42Speaker 3: Don't you mean we waited until we were married?
- 56:45Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, no one ever.
- 56:47Speaker 2: We didn't even kiss until that they Yeah, so anyway, Uh.
- 56:54Speaker 1: They fucking I shared mine. It's time for you to
- 56:56Speaker 1: share yours.
- 56:57Speaker 2: Come on, you're making me share something personal about my
- 57:00Speaker 2: self that I don't want to share.
- 57:01Speaker 1: Oh okay, I thought we were I thought we were
- 57:03Speaker 1: just in the sharing mood.
- 57:04Speaker 3: No, I was being sarcastic.
- 57:05Speaker 2: I don't really want to share those Fine, yeah, sorry,
- 57:08Speaker 2: I don't want to share that information with strangers or.
- 57:11Speaker 1: Something to the bat, I'm a hussy. Then sorry, yeah
- 57:14Speaker 1: you are. I'm kidding. Go ahead anyway.
- 57:19Speaker 3: So there she stops it.
- 57:22Speaker 1: Uh.
- 57:22Speaker 2: He says he's gonna break up with her because she
- 57:25Speaker 2: won't put out, and then her mom shows up and
- 57:28Speaker 2: they're kind of discussing about whether or not her father
- 57:30Speaker 2: is home because he or she will get in trouble
- 57:34Speaker 2: with him for breaking curfew. And Mom's like, ah, you
- 57:37Speaker 2: got time to sneak in.
- 57:39Speaker 3: She sneaks in.
- 57:40Speaker 2: Her dad is just in her room, and it turns
- 57:44Speaker 2: out the reason he's so uptight, he's the sheriff.
- 57:50Speaker 1: Enough for the boat of us.
- 57:52Speaker 2: He's like, she's like, sixth graders have later curfews than me,
- 57:56Speaker 2: and they're like, they're not the sheriff's daughter.
- 57:58Speaker 3: Like I just gonna lord that over my head or
- 58:00Speaker 3: what what?
- 58:00Speaker 1: Why? What does that even mean? You're you're you're advocating
- 58:03Speaker 1: for sixth graders to be out later than me. It's
- 58:05Speaker 1: weird rule. It's a weird thing to say, dad.
- 58:07Speaker 2: So weirdly enough, the dad gets the call about murders,
- 58:13Speaker 2: and despite her dad being the sheriff, Uh Jon Jony,
- 58:17Speaker 2: Jody Jody, Yeah, uh, Jody does not have any fucking
- 58:24Speaker 2: clue when she comes to school the next day that
- 58:27Speaker 2: anyone has died. She thinks there's just gossip about this couple,
- 58:30Speaker 2: and someone else is, in a very nice way, said
- 58:34Speaker 2: they are deceased dead, they are no longer on this
- 58:37Speaker 2: mortal coil.
- 58:38Speaker 1: Just like bro could have said that a weird a
- 58:41Speaker 1: different way.
- 58:42Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, they're Uh, she's kind of surprised and
- 58:48Speaker 2: shocked at that information.
- 58:50Speaker 3: Everyone in the school is talking about it.
- 58:52Speaker 1: Uh.
- 58:53Speaker 3: They find out that.
- 58:55Speaker 2: The girl and the boy who died had virgin carved
- 58:58Speaker 2: into them. So the father shows up with the police
- 59:03Speaker 2: force and comes to the school to ask questions and
- 59:08Speaker 2: talk to the students because you know, they want to
- 59:10Speaker 2: talk to people that knew the kids. And while Jodie's
- 59:13Speaker 2: English teacher is having a whole conversation about like maybe say,
- 59:19Speaker 2: talking on the subject if there's anything they need to say,
- 59:22Speaker 2: that's when people take a very flippant uh tone about death,
- 59:28Speaker 2: and you're like, why do you guys treating this like
- 59:30Speaker 2: a joke? Oh yeah, mister Marleston's class.
- 59:33Speaker 1: Yeah, Leonard Marleston.
- 59:36Speaker 2: Yeah, and so they are taking a really flippant response.
- 59:41Speaker 2: They're not taking it seriously. Then the sheriff comes in
- 59:45Speaker 2: starts trying to talk to them about it.
- 59:48Speaker 3: But kids are asshole.
- 59:50Speaker 1: So every every senior that has ever existed has always
- 59:55Speaker 1: thought they were too fucking cool for school. Even if
- 59:57Speaker 1: you you know, jus uh, nerds, goths, whatever, doesn't matter
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: everyone at that point in time, you just you don't
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: realize it until you look back on it. But I
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: one sent thought I was the absolute shit. And you
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: know when I was a senior, you know, you just
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: you have that that certain timeframe where you just think
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: you're like untouchable.
- 1:00:19Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: Yeah, I think everyone goes through that at some point
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: in their life. I don't know, it's weird. So yeah,
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: these kids are just fucking.
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: Douche seriously though, So Jody is there with her bff
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: eating lunch and apparently overnight Kenny has gotten a whole
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: ass other girlfriend, Like, it's been twelve hours, where.
- 1:00:40Speaker 3: Did she come from?
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: It's been one day, So that was super bizarre, and uh,
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: Jody tries to facilitate a conversation between her bff and
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: this stoner guy who's eating chips by sticking his tongue
- 1:00:54Speaker 2: out and picking them up off the plate with his tongue.
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: Yeah, that was amazing. I'm just gonna say that. I
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: was watching that, like what they tell him to do
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: on set that day, Hey, be a weirdo.
- 1:01:05Speaker 3: Stack your feet a pothead.
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: Oh that's right, they were smoking weed. Later in the movie,
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: I forgot about that.
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: Yeah, So that all happens, and uh, then during the
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: midst of this lunch, a girl comes tearing into the.
- 1:01:21Speaker 3: Into the lunch room and.
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: Starts beating the ship out of this guy because she
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: says he's been saying things about her. And then he
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: makes some derogatory remarks in a reference to her supposedly
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: giving him a blowjob, which she says is untrue, thereby proving, yes,
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: every guy at the school is gross.
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: Apparently everyone's is just a ship bag.
- 1:01:46Speaker 2: Yeah, and shout out to that girl though, because not
- 1:01:48Speaker 2: only was she beating his ass a when the principal
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: came in, like with the administrators try to break it up,
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: she socked him right in the stomach.
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: Yeah's tumbling down.
- 1:02:00Speaker 2: Three guys to like detain her, and you're like damn girl.
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: Get it, dude. Women have that strength. It's like the
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: mother lifting her car off you know that that whole
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: trope and movies where the you know, the kids that
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: needs help and the mom just lifts the car to
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: save the kid. That men. Women have that, you know,
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: that crazy strength. I don't know what it is. You
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: guys just summon it from deep and deep down.
- 1:02:21Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's a good time that happens.
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: Uh. We get to see Jody taking fighting lessons from
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: her dad, which ends with him pinning her down on
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: the ground in.
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: A very very weird way.
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: It was very sexual.
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: It was like, God, if he were her age, this
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: would be a moment where you'd think they'd kiss.
- 1:02:40Speaker 3: There was this very weird.
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: And sestuous thing going on between her and her parents
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: where it was like both parents it wasn't oh, they're
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: being creepy with her, but it was like, hmm, they feel.
- 1:02:51Speaker 3: A little sho close.
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: Well, fucking mom's kissing her on the mouth, which is
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: ultra weird.
- 1:02:58Speaker 3: Like I understand people do that with their toddlers or babies.
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: You're sixteen year old, yeah, and even then for me,
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: that's still weird to kiss your child on the lips.
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: I don't, uh, when you're a kid whatever, but yeah,
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: if you're a high school senior and you're kissing your
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: child on the lip, that's fucking weird. And then yeah,
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: you have the weird incestuous relationship with the dad when
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: especially are you gonna talk about you Okay, okay, yeah,
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: well I'll comment on that when you do that. But yeah,
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: very weird relationship going on in this in this household.
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: I was I was very uncomfortable by it.
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: Yeah, And at that point it cuts to the evening
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: and there is a the girl who was whooping that
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: boy's ass in the lunch room. Uh, she's at home
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: and uh, her parents aren't there, and someone's like trying
- 1:03:46Speaker 2: to get in the door and you can you can
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: see that it's whoever it was.
- 1:03:50Speaker 3: Again, this is someone in a skirt with boots, long hair,
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: and a coat.
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: Yeah, like a leather jacket.
- 1:03:57Speaker 3: It's funny.
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: We were kind of talking about the look and we're like, oh,
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: kind of vibes like the malignant look, Like did they
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: use this as a point of reference, because no, so similar.
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: I'm telling you, James Wand absolutely had to use that
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: as a point of reference because the long black hair,
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: the leather I mean, it wasn't a trench coat. It
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: was like a leather jacket. And then the knife that
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: you know, because the fucking killer had these like awesome
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: interchangeable knives with different hands.
- 1:04:19Speaker 3: You can play knife like, you can pop them.
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: On and off, you can pop the handle off and
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: put it on different blades and like when he was
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: when the killer was running, but I'm gonna throw you. Oh,
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: just do it. Yeah, when the killer was running at
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: what's her face? Jody with like, I was like, this
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: is malignant. I was like, this is just I mean,
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: obviously not in the same context of, you know, the
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: twist that went with malignant, but just the how the
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: killer looked. I was like, yeah, James wand definitely saw
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: this and was like, ooh, I could take this and
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: use this and make it even crazier.
- 1:04:50Speaker 3: So yeah, So where was they you mean forget?
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: Oh?
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's the girl and the person's like, oh,
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: your mom said I could come over.
- 1:05:02Speaker 3: Can I just leave a note?
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: And she's like, uh, I guess. So she looks like
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: she wants to say no, and you're like, why say yes?
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: Then if you are uncomfortable? Yeah, says yes anyway, gets
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: murderated and also gets virgin carved onto her leg. At
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: this point, they realize that the person is they've like
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: proven that these are these people are virgins. They can't
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: really prove the guy's a virgin, but like the women
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: because they're hymen's attact, which by the way, doesn't actually
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: mean anything.
- 1:05:34Speaker 3: That is a myth. But they're like, oh, we can prove.
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: That they are, so they're just going after virgins and
- 1:05:42Speaker 2: uh so it's like a whole thing, and they just
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: sound decide to like call a town meeting to at
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: least tell the parents, not the kids, because they want
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: everyone to be safe. And there is this extremely weird
- 1:05:59Speaker 2: moment where Jodie's dad wakes her up in the middle
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: of the night to ask her if she's a virgin
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: and how far she and Kenny have gone and could
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: they go further?
- 1:06:13Speaker 3: Like what?
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: And then she is like, are you are you mad?
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: I'm still a virgin? What the fuck conversation are we
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: having in this household?
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: But what's going on?
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: Throughout the film she'll just go daddy, Yeah, why do
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: you keep saying it in that breathy voice, calling your
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: dad daddy? Like if that's a thing that you've had
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: long established whatever, But why do you have to say
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: it's so breathy?
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: I think there is is a certain at least for me,
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: if I had a daughter, there'd be a certain time
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: where I want her to stop calling me that, just
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: because I don't know, I feel like it would be
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: weird in your teenage years.
- 1:06:46Speaker 3: Usually you stop doing that when you're older.
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but mainly because of the weird kink that's
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: associated it was.
- 1:06:52Speaker 3: It's also way too popular.
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: It's also way too popularized, where like guys love being
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: called daddy, and I'm like, that's not no, I don't
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: want that. I don't Yeah, I don't know. So, yeah,
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: it's just a weird thing with her in her name.
- 1:07:04Speaker 3: That's your thing, that's your thing.
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: But I'm oh, yeah, I'm not.
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: I'm not, like, we're not kink shaming him, just like
- 1:07:10Speaker 3: that's not mine.
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: That's just not my bag. I don't want to be
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: referenced as daddy. That's just I won't. So the only
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: time I find that funny was in that HJHN house, Dude,
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: that was the.
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: Only time anyway, So we have that old weird moment,
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: then we have a moment where Jody goes to give
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: her teacher, Leonard A her class work from T. S.
- 1:07:37Speaker 3: Eliott and.
- 1:07:39Speaker 2: Proceeds to read parts of the poetry to him, like
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: recite them. And it were like that is both cringey
- 1:07:45Speaker 2: and weird, and she kind of feels like she's flirting
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: with him, which also felt weird, and the fact that
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: he wasn't like deterring that kind of behavior or like
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: even implying that that was not something you'd be comfortable with,
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: especially especially as her teacher as an adult, Like, let
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: me tell you, most teachers, if their kid get any
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: whiff of that, and they're like, nope, let's be clear
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: the boundaries right here, and I will not give you
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: any kndication that that is anywhere near. Well, like teachers
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: like to be seen as basically kindles to their students.
- 1:08:24Speaker 3: We are sexless beings.
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: Yeah, oil, So.
- 1:08:30Speaker 3: Yeah, she has that weird moment.
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: Well, then they hear a noise, so and she thinks
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: she sees someone standing in the hallways. So they go
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: to investigate and what yeah, and then uh, they find
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: a cigarette butt and but they don't find anybody, but
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: they do see it. But we see that there's someone
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: standing there with a shoe with a little checker pattern
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: on it. So she leaves the teacher. The teacher goes
- 1:08:56Speaker 2: to the town meeting, and then that's when we have
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: an epic chase scene between her and the killer.
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: That's my favorite scene.
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: You know, that's right, Well, I think I'm slightly ahead
- 1:09:09Speaker 2: of myself. She goes to spy on the town meeting.
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, with her friend who is the like
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: the reporter of the school, and when he goes to
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: borrow her phone, she goes off looking for him, finds
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: his body and Timmy. She finds Timmy's body in the
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: locker room, and that's when she is attacked by the killer,
- 1:09:31Speaker 2: and the killer and her have a very epic chase
- 1:09:34Speaker 2: down moment. Oh yeah, it's really spectacular. She does, in fact,
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: sling a whole ass shark at him at one point.
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: Oh, that was so epic, and then knocks him out.
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: And it's also, yeah, Timmy was a pretty big red
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: There's a lot of red herrings in this. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: they they It's like it's I was misdirected at who
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: I thought was the killer throughout the entire movie. You
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: never would have expected that person. I was like, oh,
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: fuck it, that makes sense.
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: And so she escapes and then she gets to go
- 1:10:04Speaker 2: to the police station where she gives the description of
- 1:10:09Speaker 2: the woman that chased her, whose face was completely covered
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: in hair, so she doesn't actually really know much about
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: what the person looked like, so she's doing her best
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: to describe her. And then she drops on a phone
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: call after her dad looks a little uncomfortable based on
- 1:10:25Speaker 2: the description. She drops on a phone call about a
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: woman whose name is.
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: Laura Lai, either Laura Lee or Laura Lai. I thought
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: they said Laura al but they spelled it Laura Lee,
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: so let's just say Laura I.
- 1:10:36Speaker 3: Yeah, Laura Irman Sherman.
- 1:10:39Speaker 2: And she doesn't know who that is, and so she
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: does try to figure it out, but she's like not
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: kind of getting any info on it. And then it
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: turns out all the students find out about the whole
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: there this killer's killing virgins.
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: That happens at the time meeting that they were spying on.
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: Yeah, and then they had the students decide to throw a.
- 1:11:03Speaker 3: What are you doing?
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: Beard?
- 1:11:05Speaker 3: And then I hit the mic, sorry a pop your
- 1:11:09Speaker 3: cherry party?
- 1:11:10Speaker 2: Oh yeah, where all the students are gonna get together
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: at this abandoned house to bang each other so that
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: way they won't get murdered.
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: And you're like, you make your joke about the thing,
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: which joke about this school would become famous for.
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: Oh yeah, like this school is gonna set a record
- 1:11:27Speaker 2: for prom night babies.
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: And then when you said that during the movie, I
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: was like, prom night dumps to baby.
- 1:11:32Speaker 2: From family, Like, uh, well, they do at least put
- 1:11:36Speaker 2: in a nice little moment where the girls get together
- 1:11:39Speaker 2: to talk about what to realistically expect because the one
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: girl that knows what happens, uh sets realistic expectations and
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: talks about birth control and uh protection.
- 1:11:51Speaker 3: I'm like, you know what, I don't hate that they
- 1:11:54Speaker 3: had this scene because.
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: Normally they're like, ah, we don't even need to discuss condoms,
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: and these girls are like what can we do about protection?
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: And she's like I recommend using condoms in this instance
- 1:12:03Speaker 2: and whatnot, And you're like, huh, most of these films
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: wouldn't even bother discussing it.
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: Well, but I mean they're all versions, so they're not
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: like they're gonna have a sexually transmitted disease, so they
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: really don't need to be that.
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: Well that's not true, because that doesn't they didn't say virgins,
- 1:12:17Speaker 2: only there could be plenty of people there who have
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: had sex before that are just looking.
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: To get Like, oh, I thought they were all supposed
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: to be virgins.
- 1:12:23Speaker 3: All the virgins were showing up.
- 1:12:24Speaker 2: Oh okay, well but yeah, so it was a it
- 1:12:28Speaker 2: was actually kind of a nice that, like they actually
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: brought it up.
- 1:12:33Speaker 3: But yeah, so this is all happening. Uh.
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: Jody gets to her mom, who is wildly drunk at
- 1:12:40Speaker 2: all times, uh.
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: This time in the kitchen in the afternoon with the bottle.
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: Yeah, and uh, like she is straight drinking out of
- 1:12:50Speaker 2: that bottle.
- 1:12:50Speaker 3: It looks full size liquor bottles and.
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: Looks super nervous, just like Jody's dad did earlier. They're
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: nervous about everything going on, and you get really weird
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: vibes as to like what the fuck's going on?
- 1:13:01Speaker 3: Yeah, and so she brings up.
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: Laura Sherman to her mom, who's like, Nope, never heard
- 1:13:07Speaker 2: of that, don't know who that is, just kind of
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: brushes it off entirely. So she sneaks out, goes to
- 1:13:12Speaker 2: the library, looks up this missing girl. Her mom follows her,
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: yells at her, She yells back at her mom, who's
- 1:13:20Speaker 2: too drunk to actually get into a full on argument,
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: and at this point her mom reveals the reason everyone's
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: nervous about Laura Lei Sherman. And by the way, well
- 1:13:32Speaker 2: this is happening. The father has gone to West Virginia
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: for mystery reasons, and apparently it is to look for
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: said Laura.
- 1:13:39Speaker 3: Lai Sherman.
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: Goes to the house or something yeah.
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: Where he doesn't find her, but he finds a bunch
- 1:13:46Speaker 2: of weird shit with like just baby dolls and stuff.
- 1:13:50Speaker 3: It's odd.
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: So then we find out from the mother Laurali Sherman
- 1:13:56Speaker 2: was an outcast when they were seniors in high school
- 1:14:01Speaker 2: and one night she or she claimed to have been
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: raped by four men, but no one believed her because
- 1:14:10Speaker 2: she was weird and uh, the guys they were referring
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: to were in good standing families, so they just didn't
- 1:14:20Speaker 2: do anything about it, and nothing ever happened with it. Well,
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: she starts asking who the men were, and one of
- 1:14:27Speaker 2: them is her principal, and after some back and forth
- 1:14:30Speaker 2: with her mother, turns out the fourth guy was her father.
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: She says, though, that her father didn't actually participate and
- 1:14:37Speaker 2: that he was really he was too drunk, he was
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: falling down to actually have participated. Uhh, but he did, yeah,
- 1:14:47Speaker 2: which is her point. She's like, so he told them
- 1:14:49Speaker 2: what happened then, and she's like known, You're like, so
- 1:14:52Speaker 2: that doesn't seem like that's any better to me. And
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: at this point, now you know something is going on
- 1:14:59Speaker 2: that connects this big because the person that has been
- 1:15:01Speaker 2: killing people looks exactly like Laura Lei Sherman.
- 1:15:06Speaker 3: So is it Loralai? Is it someone seeking vengeance on
- 1:15:09Speaker 3: her behalf?
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: Like?
- 1:15:11Speaker 3: Who's it gonna be? Why are they doing this?
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: Why?
- 1:15:14Speaker 3: And God's name are they killing all these virgins?
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: Uh? With the way they were going in the third act,
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: I really was hoping for a Scooby Doo moment where
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: they pull off the wig and it's like it's this
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: man from the Old Cellar or whatever, because at that
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: point it just was so off the rails and chaotic.
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: I mean, the whole movie was absolutely absolutely chaotic, but
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: that third act was popped off. That third act was
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: the most bonker shit I've seen him so long. And
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: I was hooting and hollering, yeah, you and I both
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: both of it. Yeah. There were so many killer lines
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: that just had us like wailing. It was insane. So
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: I call that what That's what I would call a
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: perfect three act structure, slow exposition, interesting, you know, like
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: build up, and then just a fucking bonkers third act.
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: I don't even know. I need to see what you rate,
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: like would rate this to see where I'm at, because
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: I'm at a pretty fucking high with my rating.
- 1:16:03Speaker 2: Yeah. The only thing I had, which is sort of
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: a spoiler but sort of not a spoiler, that an
- 1:16:09Speaker 2: issue with I know there some of my predictions. I
- 1:16:12Speaker 2: was concerned about what they were gonna do with the
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: villain because I had some speculations.
- 1:16:16Speaker 3: It did not go the way I was worried it
- 1:16:18Speaker 3: was gonna go. So that was nice.
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: That was good. Yeah, But upon.
- 1:16:21Speaker 2: Further reflection of the whole dad being there for the
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: rape of this woman when he was younger, they kind
- 1:16:29Speaker 2: of explained that, like he was drunk, but his friends
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: put him on top of this girl, so he knew
- 1:16:35Speaker 2: what was happening, but he was like two fall down
- 1:16:37Speaker 2: drunk to even stand, and his friends were the ones
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: that were moving him.
- 1:16:42Speaker 3: You're like, this feels.
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: Weirdly grey, kind of feels like they assaulted both of
- 1:16:48Speaker 2: you at that point, because if you couldn't even stand,
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: let alone move, and they were moving you on your behalf,
- 1:16:54Speaker 2: you could have been aware, but not necessarily in control
- 1:16:58Speaker 2: of your own faculties to made that decision. So at
- 1:17:01Speaker 2: that point that kind of feels like your friends used
- 1:17:04Speaker 2: you to rape somebody while simultaneously like raping you using
- 1:17:08Speaker 2: somebody else. It's just like it was very weird. Like
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: I kind of don't know where I fall with the
- 1:17:14Speaker 2: dad because I'm like, it kind of feels like he
- 1:17:17Speaker 2: didn't really get a choice in the matter either, because
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: he was so absolutely shitfaced that he didn't even know
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: what was happening, but he knew what was happening, Like
- 1:17:27Speaker 2: he was too incoherent to really make decisions.
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh, that was a really weird part of that movie.
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: It was like, oh, you could have just left it
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: where we thought he didn't do anything, but now it
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: turns out he did. Oh. It was like Dad just
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: got real dark, Man got real dark. And you know what,
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: for a two thousands movie, I'm proud to say we
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: almost made it all the way through without a homophobic
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: statement until someone had to come out of fucking left
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: field with butt pirate and you're like, really, guys, Oh
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: we were someone a home and yeah, someone called someone
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: a homo. We were like, we were an hour and
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: eight minutes into this one hour and thirty minute movie
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: with no homophobic statements. We almost did it, guys.
- 1:18:10Speaker 2: Come on, Honestly, on the two thousands homophobic scale, if
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: we go from like a one to ten, I'd say
- 1:18:18Speaker 2: it was like a one.
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: I say it like a tomb just because of the
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: Tuesday statements, you know, yeah.
- 1:18:22Speaker 3: Because if we did it by that number, some of
- 1:18:24Speaker 3: them would fly off the list.
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking at you. Club dread like a nise.
- 1:18:28Speaker 2: Yeah, but no, it was more like a one. Very mild,
- 1:18:33Speaker 2: amazingly mild. For the time and the subject matter. It
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: could have gotten a lot worse, way worse.
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: Especially when everyone having sex, Like the whole thing is
- 1:18:41Speaker 1: being about a virgin and fucking and there was there
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: could have been a lot of times have been like,
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: oh you're you know, you're probably go or whatever, like
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: and it's like at least they didn't go there, but like,
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: you almost had it.
- 1:18:52Speaker 2: But on the flip side, they probably didn't go there
- 1:18:54Speaker 2: because their version of representation, because everyone was white and
- 1:18:58Speaker 2: thin except for why one chubby white guy. There were
- 1:19:03Speaker 2: there were some background characters, and I mean background, like
- 1:19:06Speaker 2: they didn't have speaking lines. They were just in a
- 1:19:08Speaker 2: group of people who weren't white. And there were definitely
- 1:19:11Speaker 2: no gay people in the film. Like this film was
- 1:19:14Speaker 2: white like a loaf of bread. Yeah, so uh, straight
- 1:19:18Speaker 2: as a board, like this was a very uh white
- 1:19:22Speaker 2: hetero film.
- 1:19:23Speaker 3: Yeah, that didn't mean it was super fun and camp
- 1:19:27Speaker 3: being chaotic. But you're like, what town is this?
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: Yeah? I didn't expect that much camp for a two
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: thousands movie. Uh, and I just you don't.
- 1:19:36Speaker 3: Get the camp right away, by the way, but it's
- 1:19:39Speaker 3: worth the way, so worth it.
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: Oh my god. What would you rate it or what
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: did you rate it?
- 1:19:44Speaker 3: Like three? Three and a half?
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: Okay, I'll just I'll stick with the four of them.
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: I was almost gonna get I was. I was thinking
- 1:19:51Speaker 1: four and a half just because I just loved Get.
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: I'll give it a four.
- 1:19:54Speaker 2: I think I would have given it higher had they
- 1:19:56Speaker 2: not gotten that very confusing moral gray. What do we
- 1:19:59Speaker 2: how do you've had? How are you supposed to feel
- 1:20:01Speaker 2: about dad?
- 1:20:02Speaker 1: Okay, so then I'll tell you. Yeah, So, because I
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: wanted to give it a four or five, I'll just
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: take that half away for that exact thing that you
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: just said. Yeah, so four stars for me. Let me
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: run through this trivia real quick in the tag lines,
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: because oh these taglines are oh so fun. Lose your
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: innocence or lose your life. Innocence has never been deadlier.
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: At Vergion High, it's put out or die. If you
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: haven't had it, you've had it. What would you give
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: to live? And get laid or die? Yes trivia. Due
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: to ongoing censorship issues with the MPAA, the film was
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: never given a theatrical release in the United States and
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: was released as a TV movie on the USA Network.
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: As a result, Cherry Falls is the most expensive television
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: movie ever produced, with a budget of fourteen million dollars.
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: The film was written by Ken Seldon as a satire
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: with plenty of comedic elements, but director Jeoffrey or Jeffrey
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: Wright viewed it far more serious. Wright kept much of
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: the satire but also increased the horror, removing much of
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: the comedy from salt script. Yeah, but I would have
- 1:21:01Speaker 1: loved to see more funny stuff. One of the very
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: few horror movies where the credits run backwards top to bottom,
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: not the usual bottom to top. David Lynch was offered
- 1:21:10Speaker 1: the script to direct, and while he said he liked it,
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: he turned it down as he was doing Mault Holland Drive.
- 1:21:15Speaker 1: Would have loved to see a fucking Lynch version of
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: this though, Holy shit. And then two goofs Sheriff bent
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: Markin gets to call it three thirteen in the am
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: regarding the murder of the two high school students, but
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: when he gets there, it is clearly daytime, and three
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: nights in a row there is a full moon, which
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: is literally impossible because every night they show a shot
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: of the full moon for three nights. Rated five to
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: two out of ten on IMDb, two point nine out
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: of five on Letterbox. You gave it a three to five.
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: I gave it a four. I fucking loved it. One
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: of my new favorite movies.
- 1:21:44Speaker 2: Yeah, that was That was such a fun, random fine
- 1:21:46Speaker 2: and sometimes that shit doesn't work out, so that was
- 1:21:48Speaker 2: nice that it worked out.
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: It worked and I liked it. It was the last
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: slasher and it was the slasheriest slasher we've done this month,
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: so that caps it off for Slash Tober. I'm very
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: excited for next year when we're gonna have monthly themes
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: throughout the entire year. Of course, Slashtober we'll be back
- 1:22:02Speaker 1: for that as well. So yes, that is Cherry Falls.
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: You're gonna have to buy it or you're gonna have
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: that AMC to watch it. It is very hard to
- 1:22:09Speaker 1: find otherwise. Check us out on Facebook at fright Maares
