• 0:01
  Speaker 1: And it's so easy when you're evil. This is the
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: life you see. The devil tips his hat to me.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: I do it all because I'm evil. And I do it.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: All for free. Your tears are all the pay I'll
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: ever need.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: So, obviously, we need to get to our holiday-themed movie threat,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: which I didn't... Actually, I have seen things out in
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: the real world lately, but they weren't holiday themed. But
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: I've stored them away, so we have some new ridiculous
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: things I've come across lately that will be our upcoming
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: movie threats. This one came from when I finished our
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: movie of the week. This week, it popped up as
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: the next suggestion. Christmas Evil.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I got that suggestion too.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: I assumed we watched it on the same free because
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: nobody wants to pay for the movie we had to watch.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I did not pay a damn. Thankfully.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: But that aside. And I still feel like I'm owed
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: a refund.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: We'll get to that later. But then I watched. I
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: was like, huh. I know the title. I know the
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: poster art. I'm like, have I seen this? And then
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: it said, play trailer. And then I like that about
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: half of those, when they go, play trailer, it's just
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: a clip. Yeah. So it's just me watching two minutes
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: of the movie somewhere in the middle of the movie
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: that makes absolutely no sense of Christmas Evil. So it's
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: a movie. Originally titled You Better Watch Out. I like
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: that we've already burnt that one. I'm like, well, that
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: could have been an entirely different horror Christmas thing. It
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: looks relatively low budget. But, you know, it's the kind
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: of thing somebody could force us to watch. Let's see.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: The plot, according to IMDb, says, A toy factory worker
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: mentally scarred as a child upon learning Santa Claus... Oh,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: spoilers for life. Santa Claus is not real.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: What?
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Suffers a nervous breakdown after being belittled at work and
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: embarks on a Yuletide killing spree.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Isn't that like... Very similar to what happened in.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: No, this is completely different.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: From what we watched. Yeah. So, I mean, you know,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: we don't have to watch that one. The point is,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: you can suggest a movie better than this one, and
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: we can watch it any time throughout the year, or
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: we'll be back next Christmas to watch more.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Or, as I always say, you can go the other
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: route and make us watch something even worse.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know, that looked pretty rough, but... I'm sure
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: there's terrible, terrible things out there.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, I just now got the title Christmas Evil. Very
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: weird when you guys were talking about me being on
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the spectrum.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, we haven't gotten a test back yet. Speaking
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: of people that say ridiculous things, we also say a
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: lot of ridiculous things like this.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: When you think of Bugs Bunny, do you think of
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Space Jam?
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: You do what you need to do.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Just use a P.O. box. They don't know your address.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: You're safe with OnlyFans.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: You're safe with guys that would pay money to see
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: your feet.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. Those guys are fine.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know where to go with that.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I do. There is a level of self-indulgence here that
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I cannot get on board with.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Are you making this up? I don't know that that's
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: a real thing.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: It was one of the most low-budget movies I've ever seen.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I'm saying something for this show.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: What annoys me so much about that, I mean, aside
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: from all of the obvious things, is just that.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: The little brother wasn't in like any of those scenes.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: So how would you know?
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I don't even remember there being a little brother.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: That's what I don't get. Cause they even cut to like,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: he's having the flashback and I'm like, but the kid
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: watching what's happening that was traumatized is your brother. Not you.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: You're in the back of the car that can't see
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: a damn thing. Not being traumatized right now.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: And I think also a baby. Yeah.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: He was in a car seat in the back of
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: the car.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: And it's about two cops who are looking for a
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: missing teenage girl. And they start asking around, have you
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: seen this girl?
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: She's hanging out with Charlie.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Charlie who?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, Charlie Manson.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: So it takes, as a jumping off point, it takes
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: several things.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: What if you were trapped in the post-apocalyptic world with
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: your in-laws? That's very strange. I don't like.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Well, see, that's the thing.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I watched it at the time. I liked it. And
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I was like, it was fine. Like, I liked it
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: at the time.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like, it's fine.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: And as time went on, I went, this is not
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: really a very good show.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to, like, remember the plot, but the plot
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: made very little sense, and I don't think really mattered anyway.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Like most people we watch on here.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: And the tone was so weird.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: I assumed he was involved in some sort of crazy
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: mysteries of the occult and looking for aliens or something. No.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I assume that with everything he does at this point.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Just murder.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: He's in some sort of weird rom-com now, too, and
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I still feel like at some point aliens are going
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: to show up.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Man, and I just did not buy Ricky as a
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: threatening person at all.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: He was so.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: See?
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: That's the thing.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh, what's happening?
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: A threat to your fantasy football team. But otherwise.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Even when he was trying to be all into it,
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: it was.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Like, shut up.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Even when he had a gun.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: And then the big climax at the end is that,
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: you know, all the people who work at this place
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: are revealed to be in this cult, and they are wearing, like,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: the most party city, like, black vampire capes.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Are they plastic?
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Like, the really thin fabric that you can see through.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: And so it's just, like, these, like, middle-aged British people
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: in normal clothes, but they just have.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's British. You left that part out.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: This explains a lot more. It's British. Some event has happened.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: The world's probably falling apart right now. But we just
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: have to sort of deal with our situation as it stands.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: And then when they got done with those flashbacks, I
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: was like, well, how do they move this? Oh, there's
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: more flashbacks.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Well, and then, like, he's so combative with the psychiatrist,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: but then his flashback narration voice is so, like, Calm
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: and peaceful and normal.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: It's almost like Morgan Freeman.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Was narrating this movie. Yeah, he's like, Billy, I'm like,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: what are you?
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Get busy murdering. Get busy dying. And if you're the
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: kind of person that doesn't know who Thoreau Ravenscroft is,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: there's something wrong with your life.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: He apparently had to undergo training by the CIA on
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: how to withstand torture.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: But, if reinforced, give yourself a huge backstock of physical media.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Keep physical media around. Because at any moment, the entire
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: network goes down.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: You ain't going to be streaming a damn thing. So,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: there you go. That's the real takeaway from this. Buy
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: more ridiculously old physical media. Sure. And then get a generator,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: I guess. Oh, boy.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Brian, that's fantastic. For those of you at home, I
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: have just been gifted a statue of a dog wearing
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: a tuxedo, playing the drums, and it is a music box.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: And I'd say don't wind it up because I can't
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: explain the song.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I have no idea what that song is.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: See, I forgot it was musical until I got it
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: back out to give it to you this week. And
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: then I went, oh yeah, what the hell is it?
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: And I went, is that Dixie? Is it? I was like,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: first of all, no. Second of all, why that?
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Totally.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: If anything makes no sense. I mean, everything about this
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: makes no sense. It's a dog playing drums.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: That makes no sense to me.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: He's also a fancy dog wearing a tuxedo. But then
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: the music is Dixie. It's the weirdest shit.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I've ever seen. Which is why I love it.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Honestly, this needs to be in Phillip's place.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: This is so incredibly detailed. I know.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I was just like, ah, damn it. I would almost
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: buy it, but then I would feel bad that I
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: didn't give it to you.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: From the wrong angle, though, the dog appears to be
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: looking into my soul, so.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: We're going to keep moving.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: I know his face is very, very haunting.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I don't get it, but When does the song stop? Never.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: That's the other reason I'd say. Probably never wind it
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: up again because it might go on for the rest
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: of your life.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Still going.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: If that's not Dixie, it's very close.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: It's something that's going to get them sued, except that's
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: probably public domain.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it is public domain. Which makes me feel
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: like whatever country this was made in, at the factory,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: somebody said, hey, find a song we don't have to
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: pay for.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Find a free song. And they were like, okay.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I thought it stopped.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: It will never stop.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: It's slowing down.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: He's looking at me again. This is beautiful. I will
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: treasure this always.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: And amazing. And I was like, damn it.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: You have to name him.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Ralphus.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Ralphus.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Do I wait or do I open it?
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: I say go for it. Because I know you have
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: a book version. But you probably don't have a VHS
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: copy of the Vovich.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: They made that?
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: That's what I said. Apparently. And then I went looking
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: and I was like, I think it was a weird
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: super geek specialized thing. Oh, okay. That it may or
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: may not have the art. Could just be porn for
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: all I know. I don't even have a working machine.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, I know you don't either, but I'm like,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: for a real hardcore collector, I feel like you have
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: to have that.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I sincerely hope that that cassette is The full six
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: hours of some guy sitting there going, you're playing this?
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: You have a VCR?
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I can't believe you bought this, you moron. Wow. So,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know where we go from here, but... I.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Think down, actually.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Everything's downhill for this book.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: What year did The Vich come out?
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: 2016? Oh my god.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Pretty recent. Yeah. For VHS, anyway.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: There's Black Phillip.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Now I'm just, I want to know what else is
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: on here.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: I want to know if it works, but I don't
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: have a VHS player.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: I bet my dad does somewhere.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: He probably does.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Well, now I know what to get you for a
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: wedding present.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: That'd be amazing.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: It's got duct tape on it.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: This was the best.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: One I could find.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: It cost $ 300. Sadly, at this.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Point, it kind of does.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I saw refurbished VCRs on the Walmart website, and they
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: were like $ 300 and $ 400.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Because I got excited until I saw the price tag.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: So ridiculous. Well, that's what's weird, is they're not cheap
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: when you find tapes now. I'm shocked when I find one,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: because I have bought a few lately, of just dumb nostalgia.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, obviously I need a big box version
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: of American Ninja.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Duh!
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, do I have anything to play on? No,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: and I wouldn't anyway, because I would eat it, I'm sure. But.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: You have so much media that's just not playable.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: I have so pointless media. It's so ridiculous.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: I'm waiting for the day I come over and you're like,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: look at these floppy disks I bought.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, I have some upstairs. I know. Do you
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: have any laser disks? Boxes. Laser disks. And the player
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: still worked last I hooked it up. That was two
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: moves ago. I have not re-hooked it up since then.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: I would because there are things I have that I
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: haven't seen anywhere else. And I'm like, I would watch
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: that on Laserdisc.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: But do you have any of the old school video
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: discs that were basically records?
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Yes, I do. Only recently. I didn't have any back
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: in the day. And then lately I've run across one
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: or two that had different artwork that I've never seen
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: anywhere else.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Some of the artwork on those are fantastic.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: And it was just weird. Again, I'm only kind of
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: on Bond stuff anyway. But there was like a Dr.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: No that I'm like, I've never seen this artwork anywhere.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: A million VHS copies, DVD copies, never seen this artwork.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: I'm like, all right. I mean, it was like a
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: couple bucks. I'm like, obviously I need this to sit somewhere.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know where. I can't get to things. Hell,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: that's why I can't get to anything else to put
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: anything up. I'm like, I don't know where that shit is.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: It's jammed behind 900 other things. Accumulating things.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: It's so detailed.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: And heavy.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: It's hardcore. So go to MovieMeltdown.com and join the Meltdown

• 13:36
  Speaker 2: or enjoyable or somewhere in between.

  Speaker 2: Somewhere in that spectrum. That's the spectrum we need.
• 13:44

• 13:45
  Speaker 1: We have your standards.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: And so are yours. You're listening to this. So thank you.
