Spooky Season 2024, part 1 · Pick Up and Deliver

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Welcome to pick up and deliver the podcast where I
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: pick up my audio recorder as I step out for
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: a walk and deliver an episode two while I stroll around.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: I'm Brendan Riley. Well, good afternoon, listener.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: It's a lovely day here in suburban Chicago.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I'm taking a break from grading to take a stroll
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and talk to you about some games. I am picking
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: up on the film review episode. I did two or
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: three episodes ago, and I mentioned that I had watched
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: a bunch of scary movies in October, since I thought
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: before the year runs out, I would take a minute
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to talk about those scary movies.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Just want to remind you that I have reached the
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: end of my semester now. So while I will continue
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: recording episodes here and there, probably for the next month
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: or so, my schedule will be a little more sporadic.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna have my regular commute on which to
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: cord my episodes.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: We are an episode. I believe this is episode.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Six seventy nine, so we have twenty one more after
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: this before the end of the season. I usually declare
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the end of the season at the one hundred mark.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: This episode seven hundred would be the end of the season.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: In that regard, I may or may not finish it
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: by the end of January. End of January would be
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the target goal. That's usually when I try to have
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the season end. I don't have my January term course
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: this year, so I could have a bit more time
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: to do episodes. But that also means I have to
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: kind of work it into my schedule and go for
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: a walk in the coldest time of the year. So
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: we'll see whether or not we meet that goal. Last year,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I didn't finish the season until like the end of March.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I think, so if I finish at the end of January,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: that's pretty good.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Well, let's talk some horror movies as I do. As
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I have done for the last couple of years, I
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: participated in the Slashing through Cinema board Game Geek Horror
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Movie Challenge. There's a user on board Game week who
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: makes an interesting geek list in which people post horror
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: movies that they're watching in October. Some people try to
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: watch one horror movie a day, or thirty horror movies
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: in October. I generally don't have time to actually watch
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: thirty in October. So I give myself forty five days
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to do it and have fun doing the challenge. That way,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I did not make it.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: This year.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I got twenty six what I would consider twenty six
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: horror movies watched, although four of the quote unquote movies
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: were actually episodes of the Terror that I watched in pairs,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: and those counted as movies according to the rules of.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: The Slashing Through Cinema forum.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: But I'm not sure whether I should count them or not,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: and I'm not including them on this list.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: So that said, that means I have seen.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I watched twenty four horror movies in late September and
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: early October, and so I'm going to talk about those
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: with you today. My plan is to talk about them
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: in two episodes, back to back.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Here this is episode one, so we'll talk.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: About the first twelve movies that I watched as part
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: of the Slashing Cinema program, and then I'll talk about
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the next twelve in the next episode. So, if you're
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: not a horror movie of ficionado, perhaps this episode and
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the next one will not be your favorite thing, but
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: hopefully they'll be enjoyable anyway, if for no other reason
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: than that you enjoy my company, and I enjoy yours
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: as my silent conversation partner who never interrupts me. Okay,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: so I'm going to talk about these movies in the.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Order I watched them.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I'll give you a little bit of insight into what
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the movies are about without spoiling anything. Talk about whether
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed them or not. And if I have a
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: game to recommend to go with them, I will. But
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna try to do that for every movie,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: just because I want to make sure I get through
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: all twelve of them. So start with from twenty twenty three.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I watched Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose. This is
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: a sort of ghost story or a supernatural story loosely
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: based on a real event in which a town purported
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: to have a talking mongoose and a supernatural investigator went
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: to the town to try to find it. This is
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: a sort of goofy provincial comedy starring Simon pay and
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: is based, like I said, on a real thing. There's
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: an episode of Remembering History or History's Histories, Mysteries or whatever,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the Paula Deeming podcast about history. If you want to
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: listen to the thing about the Talking Mongoose.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: It's pretty silly.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: This was barely a horror movie, and if I watched
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: it another time of year, I might not have called
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: it a horror movie.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: But because I was watching it it's about.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Supernatural and I'm watching it in the horror season, I'm
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: calling it that one. I honestly can't think of a
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: game that would go with this, but it's a pretty
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: silly movie. It's worth checking out if you want this
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: guy investigating a talking mongoose.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Next up was Long Legs from twenty twenty four.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: This is a serial killer movie starring Nicholas Cage. It
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: has some really creepy stuff in it. Nicholas Cage plays
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: a serial killer the movie. I don't know what to
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: make of this movie. The depiction of Nicholas Cage is
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: gender ambiguous, but the movie doesn't ever comment on that,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: and so I'm unclear what the nature of that is
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: in the nature of the film, Like, are we supposed
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: to notice that? Are we supposed to think about it?
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a deliberate choice. I'm also unclear if
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Nicholas Cage is supposed to be a male character dressing
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: as a woman, so a transwoman or if he's playing
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: a woman like this character is supposed to be a
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: sis woman. I don't know, and I read a little bit,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: but I haven't seen that much about to start of
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: people talking about that movie in the context of the
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: conversation about trans people in our culture. But on top
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: of that, it's a serial killer movie that's pretty good,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: interestingly creepy and weirdly supernatural. Worth watching if you like
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: a serial killer movie, sort of in the vein of
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: something like Silence of the Lambs. Again, not a thing
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: that there's a lot of board games that go with.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: So that was from twenty twenty four. Next up we
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: had The Dead Zone. The Dead Zone is a movie
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I've never really seen before.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: This.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: This was from nineteen eighty three, starring Christopher Walkin, based
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: on the Stephen King story about a man who gets
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: in an accident and when he wakes up his brain
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: a part of his brain has opened up and he
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: can sort of see the future, and he finds himself
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: wrestling with how to deal with the potential futures that
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: he sees. It's an interesting movie, well acted, well told.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: It's one of the better Stephen King movies I've seen. Honestly,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I like Christopher Walkin's style. It's got Martin Sheen playing
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: kind of the polar opposite of Jed Bartlett, but still
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: a smarmy politician character that works really well, and a
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: couple other character actors you'd recognize mostly. I remember seeing
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: a episode of Saturday Night Live where Christopher Walkin is
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: on and he's playing a character who can see the future,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: but he can only see lame things like you're gonna
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: spill some barbecue sauce on your sleeve. It's not too
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: late to order something without barbecue sauce, that kind of thing.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: It's pretty funny. If you wanted a movie that would connect.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: A game that would connect to this, I think Mysterium
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: would be your answer. It's a game about psychics telling
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the future and the trying to interpret confusing messages, so
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I think that would work pretty well. Mysterium would be
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: a good pairing for watching The Dead Zone if you wanted.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: To next step to this two thousand and six is
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: the Host.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: This is an interesting movie because I kept seeing it
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: on lists of like best Movies of the two thousands,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Best Horror Movie of twenty two thousand and six, and
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I liked it fine, but.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I didn't think it was all that good. Like I
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: thought it was fine.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: It's a creature feature, the big monster running around, pleasantly
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: scary and somewhat funny horror movie with great gross effects.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: There's a part in it that makes me think this
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: is a movie that Jordan Peele is a fan of,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: because the monster at one point regurgitates a bunch of
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: like skulls and stuff, and it reminded me a lot
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: of the part of a part in Nope, where.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: The alien does the same.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I'll give it anything away with Nope, but you've had
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: time to watch it. It was pretty gross, but well
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: acted and good effects. For two thousand and six, I
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: think The Host is definitely worth watching if it's a
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: movie you're interested in. It's a creature feature with lots
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: of good gore and interesting characters.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Maybe Beast would be.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Your movie to want or your game to play with
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: that one Beast. Next up, we have New Nightmare. I've
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: never really been that big a fan of Freddy Krueger,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: but this one is interesting. The whole Nightmare and Nightmare
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: on Elm Street series is supposed to be done, but
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: they imagine this idea that Freddy is the representation of
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: a kind of demonic evil that has always existed, and
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: whenever people think about him or believe in him, he
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: gains power.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: And so West Craven writing a new.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Movie about Freddy then brings Freddy back and gives him power,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: and the movie is of course about West Craven writing
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: a movie about Freddie. It's pretty good, better than say
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Nightmare and elm Street. I'm most of the ones I've seen.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: I thought the first one was fine, but this has
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: never really been a character I was all that enthusiastic about.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: But the way that he appears in New Nightmare is
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: pretty good.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I like Robert England in it, and the girl who
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: played Nancy in the first movie is back, and I
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: think that works pretty well. It's well worth watching if
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: you get a chance. That's New Nightmare from nineteen ninety four.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Ex said, we have Ghostbusters Frozen Empire from twenty twenty four.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: This one it's like another Ghostbuster's adventure story. I liked
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: it about the same as the one where they find
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the Ghostbuster's car in the cave or where they find
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the Ghostbuster stuff in the cave. The last of the
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: new Ghostbusters movies. It's pretty entertaining, ultimately kind of forgettable,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: though good special effects, fun characters. I like the children characters,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: particularly the girl, although there's some dumb stuff that I
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: feel like she was too smart to fall, and she
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: fell for The ghostly monster is reasonably amusing as a
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: ghostly monster. So the Big Bad is pretty entertaining, and
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: I really liked the twist that Winston is by far
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the most.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Successful of the Ghostbusters.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: He owns a very successful company and is doing science
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: on ghosts, so that's a nice twist and it's.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Fun to have him back.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: That's Ghostbuster's Frozen Empire. I guess you could play the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Ghostbusters game that Cryptozoak released. That would be the match
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: for that, obviously. The next one is The Curse of
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the Cat People. This movie is from nineteen forty four.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: My understanding is that the director of Val Tournier wanted
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: to make or Val Luton excuse me, wanted to make
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: a real melodramatic movie about parenting, and the studio wanted
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: to make another horror movie, so he called it Curse
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: of the Cat People, even though there's really no curses
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: or cat people in it. It's a melodramatic family movie.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: It's pretty good, but not really a horror movie. I
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: enjoyed it, and I don't know what game you'd play
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: with it, but I only enjoyed it because I like
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Valutin's cinema style. I really like I Walked with a
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Zombie and it's fun to have Sir Lancelot in it again,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: which he plays the butler of the house in that one,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: so via a chance to wa wash cruse of the
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: cat people. There are worse ways to spend ninety minutes,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: but it's not a horror movie. Next up, we've got
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Godzilla Minus one. Now I am not a huge Godzilla guy.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: This is from twenty twenty three. I like a Godzilla
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: movie just fine.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I have particularly liked the recent Godzilla movies, the one
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: with Brian Cranston that was just called Godzilla. I liked
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Godzilla King of the Monsters. I like the recent storytelling style,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: which focuses more on the people, which is I think
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: how the original Godzilla movies worked, and I think Godzilla
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Minus one is a nice repetition of that idea. In it,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: characters wrestle with the ramifications of World War Two and
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: their own experiences in that war and Godzilla makes an
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: appearance or two. It's pretty great. I can see why
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: it won awards. The special effects are really really good.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: I like it a lot. I don't know if it's
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: my favorite Godzilla movie, but I certainly did like it
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: a lot. I can see why people really like this
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: character in this kind of storytelling. It's probably not something
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: that I would seek out a lot, but as they
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: make new ones, I'll keep watching them. I really like
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: the special effects in it. If you're going to play
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: a Godzilla game, the two that I could recommend. One
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: of them obviously would be god Godzilla Tokyo Clash, which
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: is almost just King of which is almost just the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: King of Tokyo. You could also get King of Tokyo,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I guess, And then if you want something a little sillier,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: you can always play Terror in Evil City or I
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: have the addition that's called Rampage. Before they got sued
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: by the company that owns Rampage.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: This is a.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Classic arcade or this is a classic arcade rendering of
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: the Godzilla type figure, a giant monster causing havoc in
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: the city, and it's pretty entertaining. So that's Godzilla minus
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: one next Cup, but we have Talked to Me from
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Talk to Me as a reasonably fun
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: horror movie in the new style, where it develops a
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: mythology quickly and then something scary happens, and then we
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: have to follow the characters while something scary happens.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: It appears to be part.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Of a genre that I didn't realize was a genre
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: until I watched this movie. And this would be the
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: I've seen something terrifying it it's coming to get me
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: and there's nothing I can do about it.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Genre.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Obviously it follows is another of these movies. The ring
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: might be the progenitor of it. I don't know that
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I can think of a clear example of that earlier
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: on maybe Denzel Washington's The Fallen Movie kind of, but
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: that one, it isn't inevitable the same way it is
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: in some of these other ones. In Talk to Me,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: there is a sort of creepy hand and if you say,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: you know, I let you in or whatever, then a
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: ghost comes in and connects with your brain and it's
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: very hard to get it out if people don't get
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: the hand off you quick enough.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: So it's reasonably creepy it's very well made. It's pretty entertaining.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: If you like a reasonably creepy horror movie, talk to me,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: you could do much worse.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Again, I don't really know what you would point to.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: I guess sort of mysterium in that you're trying to
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: talk to ghosts and figure out what they're doing.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: But it is different, all right.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Three Left Gone Jam or Gone a Jam Gonjam Haunted Asylum.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: This is from twenty eighteen. This is a found footage movie,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: and I think reasonably argued a very very good found
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: footage movie. It's about a bunch of live streamers who
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: go into an old haunted asylum that's supposed to be
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: the most haunted place in Korea, and it turns out
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: it is, and they get menaced and all sorts of
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: bad stuff happens. It's exactly what you'd expect it to be,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: but very entertaining. There's a couple of really good scenes.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: There's some great humor, some great scares. Well worth checking out.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Gone a Jam, Haunted Asylum. Let's betrayal on House in
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: the Hill is the obvious connector to this one, because
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: it's so clearly tied to those two betrayal at House
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: on the Hill is the obvious one to watch while
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: or to play with gon jam, because it's about going
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: into a haunted place and trying to get out and
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: discovering that it's worse than you realize it would be.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: So there should be a new version of Betrayal that
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: has like live streamers and stuff, but that's not a
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: thing as far as I know. Next upt we have
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the Werner Herzeg nineteen seventy nine nos Feratu the Vampire.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: This is a very slow, kind of meditative horror movie,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: remaking the original nos Ferratu movie.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: It's good, it's just really slow. Honestly, I found it
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: pretty boring.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: The sequences that work are really good, but there's an
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: awful lot of sequences where the camera is just sort
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: of like meditating on things. It's an art film, and
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: it has the pacing of a nineteen seventies art film
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: or an early nineteen eighties art film, which isn't inherently bad,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: but doesn't really fit the I don't know the style
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: that I like or the feeling that I like.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: It's too slow, and I think.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: That it would be better, Like I'd be really interested
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: to see someone make a contemporary cut of that movie
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: and just kind of a lot of the slow, meditative stuff.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: I think it would be really good as a one
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: hour thing.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to the new Robert edgars Eggers's No Spratu,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: and I'm glad to have watched this one in prep.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: But ultimately I didn't like this one as much as
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I hoped it would. I think Fury of Dracula is
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: obviously the game that you should play if you're going
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: to be watching Nose Ferratu, because it is the same
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: story Nostratus, much more creepy. He reminds me a little
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: bit of the This is very specifically the the group
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: from Vampire the Masquerade who look awful, look like the
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: nos Faratu vampires deformed and they hide in the shadows
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: and stuff. I can't remember what they're called right now.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: They're really great, but they're super creepy looking more future
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Brendan here. It's funny that I couldn't remember the name
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: of the creepy gross vampires from Vampire the Mask grade
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: because their clan name is no Sfaratu, So I guess
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Vampire the Eternal Struggle could be another game that you
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: could play in concert with No Spatu the.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Vampire, and finally I watched Vampire Hunter D. This was
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: selected for me on the.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Roulette wheel that they make as part of this challenge.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: I thought it was entertaining. I did not like I
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: liked the weird supernatural monsters everywhere. That was a fun development,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: lots of cool, weird looking creatures and fun fights. I
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: did not like that the main character appeared to be
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: like fourteen. She was sexualized through the whole show, and
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I think we were supposed to not mine. That bothered
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: me a lot, and like I wouldn't watch any more
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: of it just because of that.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: All in all, it was fine.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not an anime guy generally, and this did not
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: like make me think, oh I need to watch more anime.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: I get why people like it.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: There are some pretty cool stuff in it, but ultimately
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: it wasn't for me. Well, that brings me to the
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: end of the first half of the horror Movie episode.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: I hope you'll come back tomorrow or the next day
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: and join me for the second half.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Until next time, Thanks for taking a walk with me.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: I hope your next walk is as pleasant as line was.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Good Bye.
