And
1:00
Ryan: cornbread.
1:01
Corn.
1:01
Kearns: is the boys from county Hell, A pretty sick little Underknown,
1:06
I'd say Underknown Vampire movie.
1:08
Jon: definitely under known.
1:11
a, this was a shutter original, or at least it wasn't.
1:14
It's in the States.
1:15
I don't know what the release in Ireland looked like, but this is another shutter.
1:21
Ryan: it seemed like
1:22
Kearns: doing pretty well for themselves if you ask me.
1:24
Ryan: it, it, it seemed like it was a production company from Ireland.
1:27
And then shuttered, swooped on it,
1:30
Jon: Yeah.
1:30
Ryan: And Shutter releases some special films.
1:33
I mean, uh, what is it?
1:35
A Violent, violent nature.
1:37
In
1:38
Jon: In a violent nature.
1:39
Ryan: They're getting
1:40
Jon: Yep.
1:40
Ryan: sequel with that.
1:41
That's gonna
1:42
Jon: Mm-hmm.
1:42
Ryan: on shutter like.
1:43
They got hits.
1:45
Kearns: Didn't Nate, so they got JJ Abrams basically.
1:49
They're like, oh, you got a
1:50
Ryan: Yeah.
1:50
Kearns: We're just gonna, we're gonna just put our name on that sucker for you
1:54
Jon: I think,
1:54
Ryan: Straight
1:55
Jon: think they buy the distribution rights in the US
1:57
for a lot of the foreign stuff.
2:00
Kearns: that may like troll hunter.
2:01
You think like something
2:02
Ryan: basket
2:03
Jon: I think.
2:04
I think troll hunter predates shutter, but terrified for sure.
2:09
I believe that Satan's slaves in the US was a shutter release Boys from county.
2:15
Hell, there's a few.
2:16
Kearns: Pretty cool.
2:18
Jon: I think Baskin was also, yeah.
2:21
Kearns: Yeah.
2:21
We are doing a lot of fuzzy foreign films.
2:24
Jon: Yeah.
2:25
Ryan: That's awesome though.
2:26
Kearns: down.
2:26
And when they're good, I, you know what?
2:28
I went through a phase of doing, 'cause I watch anime so I can do subtitles.
2:32
I'm not, I'm mere mortal, you know, I can read my movies I
2:36
Ryan: watch it.
2:37
Kearns: started with watching Sweet Home on Netflix that I think it's Korean
2:41
Ryan: Yep.
2:42
Kearns: Horror series.
2:43
Oh
2:43
Jon: Mm-hmm.
2:44
Kearns: superseded expectations like crazy.
2:46
Just don't watch season two.
2:49
It gets bad fast,
2:51
Ryan: build it up, so great.
2:53
You're like, watch season one.
2:54
Don't, don't do two though.
2:56
Kearns: it even ends well.
2:56
Like season one's got a pretty decent ending.
2:58
You're good.
2:59
Jon: Mm-hmm.
2:59
Kearns: end right there.
3:01
Jon: Yep.
3:01
Kearns: John watched it, right?
3:02
Jon: I think I did.
3:03
I'm trying to remember.
3:04
I watched stuff that I don't remember watching, so I don't log tv.
3:10
Kearns: there's some
3:10
Jon: Yes, yes.
3:11
Kearns: thing that turns
3:12
Jon: Yeah, yeah.
3:13
Kearns: the monsters are different and cool.
3:15
Jon: Yeah.
3:16
I definitely watched the first season.
3:18
I don't remember watching the second season.
3:21
Kearns: It was cool.
3:22
I watched a lot of it.
3:22
'cause I would be sleeping, like trying to go to sleep and I'd have
3:25
the iPad like right here watching it,
3:27
Jon: Mm-hmm.
3:27
Kearns: out 20 minutes into an episode and then end up rewatching it all.
3:30
And it was kinda like, it was like reliving dreams almost.
3:35
Ryan: I, I know that feeling.
3:37
Kearns: Yep.
3:38
but this movie, this movie deep.
3:42
first thing we gotta talk about are there, there's some Easter, well we
3:44
should probably talk about the director and all the stuff you guys know about
3:49
before we hit some of the Easter eggs, I noticed they were cool though.
3:52
I'm sure you guys saw 'em,
3:55
Jon: Oh no, let's do e Easter eggs 'cause I don't have a lot on this director
3:59
Kearns: Well, the,
4:00
Ryan: same here.
4:02
The stoker was nice.
4:03
Jon: thing.
4:04
Yeah,
4:04
Ryan: Yes.
4:05
Kearns: a
4:05
Jon: that was, I was thinking that was where you were going with Easter eggs,
4:08
the whole, you know, stoker legends and being from around that area,
4:15
Kearns: Yeah.
4:16
Jon: in the movie.
4:17
Kearns: So the name of the bar is the Stoker as well, right?
4:20
Ryan: Yep.
4:21
Jon: Yep.
4:21
Ryan: a
4:21
Jon: Yep.
4:22
Ryan: Dracula on there.
4:23
Kearns: Yeah.
4:24
So that's, a nod to Bram Stoker, obviously.
4:26
But there's, um, American Werewolf in London one too.
4:29
Jon: Absolutely.
4:30
Yeah.
4:30
We're right at the start with the two tourists.
4:32
Kearns: was watching it.
4:33
I
4:33
Jon: Yep,
4:33
Kearns: bring this up and feel so
4:34
Jon: yep,
4:34
Kearns: they, they both know already, you
4:36
Jon: yep.
4:37
Ryan: When they go
4:37
Jon: It,
4:38
Ryan: just
4:38
Jon: yeah.
4:39
Ryan: alone.
4:40
It's
4:40
Jon: they, and they, they may, they, the two, the one tourist makes the
4:43
joke about, oh, don't go in the Moors.
4:46
Right.
4:47
And,
4:48
Kearns: Yeah.
4:49
There was also the symbol.
4:50
Wasn't there a thing with, one of the signs, I
4:53
Jon: yeah.
4:54
Kearns: more because I remember something about the signs, like it
4:56
looks like the symbol in the movie.
4:57
Um.
5:00
Ah, I had it in my head.
5:02
Don't worry.
5:02
I'll get, it'll come back to me.
5:04
We're gonna circle back to
5:05
Ryan: I am trying to figure it out.
5:06
What sign?
5:06
'cause I figured like
5:08
Kearns: near their house.
5:10
Um, and it, look, it's a nod to American Werewolf in London as well.
5:15
Ryan: I know what you're talking about now.
5:17
Okay.
5:17
Kearns: You articulate it
5:18
Ryan: I was, I was, yeah, no, I was going with more of like the burial
5:22
stones and I kept going back to like my grandmother, my grandmother's from
5:26
Ireland off the boat and she would in the heavy broke, tell me all these stories.
5:30
And it's like I was looking at the stones and that, like the grave burial saying,
5:35
I was like, they're gonna mess with this.
5:37
And this is, you don't do that.
5:38
Not in Ireland.
5:40
You don't, you don't mess with any burials or anything.
5:42
You leave it alone.
5:44
There's don't mess.
5:46
Kearns: I believe they're called Cairns
5:48
Ryan: Cns.
5:48
Yep.
5:49
Kearns: the rock, right?
5:50
The Cairns.
5:50
Ryan: The cns
5:51
Jon: Yep.
5:52
Kearns: cairns.
5:53
Ooh, ooh.
5:56
It's getting dicey over here.
5:57
So that's another funny part about it.
5:59
'cause county hell, there's no county hell in Ireland.
6:02
Silly Gooses.
6:04
There's
6:05
Ryan: I,
6:06
Kearns: county Mayo, and Kill County and all
6:09
Ryan: oh, I got it confused.
6:11
I got it confused with the 1970s.
6:13
So.
6:14
there's a seventies film, I think named similar and I was
6:17
like, oh, we're gonna watch this.
6:18
This is gonna be interesting.
6:19
Nope, we watched this one.
6:21
Kearns: too, when I, I was like, oh, I'm so hyped for this.
6:24
I thought it was gonna be an older one.
6:26
And I, you know, I just don't get excited for the older stuff as much as I used to.
6:29
And I said, I was like, Ooh, 2020.
6:31
Jon: Mm-hmm.
6:32
Kearns: Neat.
6:33
Ryan: You are like modern.
6:34
Yes.
6:35
Kearns: this one goes into, so we get into like sort of an origin
6:39
story, which there's been a lot of stuff coming out like this, like
6:41
Nosferatu and things like that.
6:43
But this is sort of an origin story of where the vampire
6:47
myth may have really taken off.
6:49
There've been vampire myths worldwide for, so we can't say
6:55
Jon: Yeah.
6:55
Kearns: first vampire.
6:57
The Celts didn't come up with that, this is Irish folklore and,
7:01
the AB attack is, a interesting take on what the, did I get it?
7:06
First try is an interesting
7:08
Jon: Close enough for me.
7:10
Kearns: the Vampire is.
7:11
Um, oh, I, I love myth.
7:13
I just love it.
7:14
So when I got in, I saw this, I'd never heard of it before
7:18
and I went nuts, you know, I'm
7:19
Jon: Mm-hmm.
7:20
Kearns: Helpie, the Banse, and all this fun stuff.
7:22
And you're like, wait, there's a vampire over there.
7:25
And this one's a vampire with a neat twist because they really tie it to the cairn
7:29
and we'll get into sort of how it operates
7:31
Jon: Mm-hmm.
7:32
Kearns: like that.
7:32
But essentially they, they stay true to the original myth, which has to
7:37
do with a, blood drinking monster.
7:40
don't use the term vampire, obviously.
7:42
the T attack, is a menace and he's out doing meac things and
7:47
Jon: Mm-hmm.
7:48
Kearns: with accordingly By a dwarf.
7:50
And the, in the movie they say
7:52
Jon: Mm-hmm.
7:53
Kearns: but it's a dwarf in the folklore and they can't figure out how to kill it.
7:57
So they just put a big heavy rock on it.
7:59
That's the end of the story.
8:00
Jon: Mm-hmm.
8:01
And it turns out like that's one of the things I really like is that they take
8:07
what we're used to seeing in vampire movies and say, nah, none of that works.
8:12
You can't stake 'em, sunlight's not gonna help.
8:16
You basically have to bury them and put a whole bunch of rocks on top of them.
8:21
Kearns: We can't get out.
8:23
Jon: Mm-hmm.
8:24
And he also doesn't, doesn't bite victims.
8:26
He just sort of remotely drains them, which I think is kind of scarier.
8:32
Ryan: I love that.
8:34
Kearns: scary comparatively because you could be a room away
8:36
and it's, it's around and you
8:38
Jon: Mm-hmm.
8:39
Yeah.
8:39
Kearns: awful.
8:40
Ryan: was like the biggest unique twist of it when watching it,
8:43
especially in the first scene.
8:44
'cause you see that nice, lovely Irish couple, they're just trying to enjoy
8:48
their tea, maybe talking about going out, getting a drink, going to the pub.
8:51
They're like unsure.
8:52
And then you see the blood flowing from her nose and then he looks over and
8:56
the blood's flowing from his eyes and you're like, what the hell's going on?
8:59
'cause you're like, all right, like it's some with vampires or
9:03
something, but like what is happening?
9:05
And then as it progresses with the myth, of course he's drain
9:09
the blood from them like that.
9:11
It's so unique.
9:13
I mean, you get a little biting here and there, but to have that it just
9:18
Kearns: the
9:18
Ryan: so good.
9:20
Jon: Mm-hmm.
9:20
Kearns: there's definitely a gul, a tangent, ghoul thing.
9:23
They
9:24
Ryan: Oh yeah.
9:25
Kearns: the
9:25
Jon: Yeah,
9:26
Kearns: vampire lights.
9:27
Um, so you can be turned by this thing.
9:30
Ryan: Yes.
9:31
Oh
9:32
Jon: to a degree.
9:34
Ryan: yeah.
9:35
It has to do
9:36
Jon: Not.
9:37
Yeah.
9:38
The stones are what turns you not him so much.
9:43
Kearns: Not him
9:43
Jon: Abak.
9:45
Kearns: The a hack.
9:46
The, so the thing about the cairn, what we figure out while you watch
9:50
this movie that's kind of cool is that the cairn has it, maybe it's
9:54
cursed, maybe, but it's what's causing the turning of the other people.
9:59
Now, whether or not the A hack gets his power from the cairn or whether or not him
10:03
being buried under it, gave it its power
10:05
Jon: Mm-hmm.
10:06
Kearns: that's kind of up for debate.
10:08
Jon: Yeah.
10:10
Ryan: The
10:10
Jon: Yeah.
10:11
I mean, I'm, I'm gonna think the power of the cairn sort of goes through him.
10:17
Kearns: maybe he just like lived there until he
10:20
Jon: Yeah.
10:21
Kearns: Clint
10:21
Jon: it's sort of.
10:23
Kearns: Torino and he is just like, get off my lawn.
10:25
He turned into a vampire.
10:26
He was there so long.
10:27
Jon: Yeah, it's a, it's because, I mean, obviously they
10:32
haven't managed to kill him.
10:33
He's just buried under some stuff that he can't get out from under,
10:38
Ryan: but I
10:38
Jon: so whatev, whatever life force he has is still there.
10:42
Kearns: That's true.
10:43
Ryan: if it feels like it transported through the cairns, you know what I mean?
10:47
Like life force went through the rocks, because Hear me out when one
10:52
of the carriers hits the rocks, hits the cairns, and turns into a vampire.
10:58
I mean, I come on now, like
11:05
I am making some movie sense here.
11:07
All right.
11:07
Because he touches, he touches the cairns and he turns it to like a vampire.
11:14
Kearns: he's doing it on purpose, not nearly as fun.
11:15
When he does it on purpose.
11:17
Ryan: Oh, this is
11:17
Kearns: say the name of the vampire.
11:18
'cause I've been waiting for it all day.
11:21
Ryan: the, uh, the, uh, AR talk.
11:26
Kearns: All right.
11:26
That's pretty good.
11:27
Jon: Not bad, not bad.
11:28
Ryan: had a look at that.
11:29
The, the Albuquerque.
11:31
Kearns: I want, I want you to kind of tie up what you, the, the point you
11:34
were making or were you just saying all that to just make fun of my name?
11:37
Ryan: No, no, no.
11:38
I feel like being buried under the cairns, right, he's buried under the rocks.
11:44
All that life force of his is like transporting to those rocks.
11:48
That's why no one's like touching them, doing anything
11:50
and then they touch 'em and then
11:53
Kearns: Things
11:54
Ryan: all, yeah.
11:55
So like, I mean it's simple, but it works.
11:58
And that's like, it's different too.
12:00
That's what makes it so good.
12:01
And the comedy element, skipping on the big guy's name, but he
12:05
was like one of the best parts.
12:07
Kearns: Is that Charlie?
12:08
Ryan: Was it Charlie?
12:09
Yeah, it's Charlie.
12:10
Charlie Hart.
12:12
was just, uh, so funny.
12:14
Kearns: So one thing I wanna do before we get further along into this part of it is
12:19
we gotta hit the fact that there's a whole plot about, basically it's the movie up.
12:23
they wanna build a highway through the guy's house and the guy
12:26
Jon: Mm-hmm.
12:26
Kearns: anywhere, but it does have bearing later on in the movie.
12:29
So we should mention
12:30
Jon: Yeah.
12:31
Kearns: of how this
12:32
Jon: Yeah, yeah.
12:33
I'd say it's, it's a road project that's gonna go through the Cairn
12:37
and through, George's house.
12:40
Ryan: Yep.
12:40
Jon: And George is going to be left with no home and, a free, a tech.
12:47
Kearns: is not ideal
12:49
Ryan: A
12:49
Kearns: for anybody.
12:51
Jon: No.
12:51
And George sort of gets a whole other problem added to it.
12:55
When Eugene's best friend and George's son William falls into the Kern and
13:01
gets, you know, stabbed, puncture wound and then attacked by some kind
13:08
of animal, I think a wild boar bull.
13:12
Ryan: both.
13:12
Kearns: Yeah, I think it's a bull that the dad was like, let out.
13:16
I'm thinking it's dad's fault if I'm not mistaken,
13:20
Jon: I,
13:20
Kearns: boys get blamed for it and they get banned from the stoker.
13:23
No more drinking,
13:24
Jon: mm-hmm.
13:25
Mm-hmm.
13:27
Kearns: things blow
13:27
Jon: Well, yeah, and I mean, William's gone at that point.
13:30
William dies in that field, and,
13:33
Kearns: That's true.
13:33
Jon: uh, that's the end of that.
13:35
Well, as much as vampires die, he dies in the field.
13:41
And I mean, as luck have it, his father George is a mortician, so,
13:49
Kearns: There you go.
13:50
Ryan: Yeah.
13:50
Kearns: cheap and easy.
13:52
Jon: but it
13:52
Kearns: do a poor job on it.
13:53
Have you ever seen the electrical work in an electrician's house?
13:56
You know what I'm talking about?
13:57
Jon: mm-hmm.
13:58
But e even in the, in the, this sort of part, it's very American
14:03
werewolf in London also, I.
14:04
Ryan: Oh, absolutely.
14:06
But it
14:07
Kearns: that?
14:08
Ryan: well.
14:08
Jon: It's, you know, the, the, the one, the one dies in the,
14:13
Moors or in this case, the one dies in the field with the cairn.
14:17
And, you know, it becomes about the other one.
14:20
Moving on, I mean, not in this case, not infected in any way, but, you know,
14:25
sort of taking, taking on William's life and William's dreams almost.
14:31
Kearns: there you go.
14:33
Ryan: a similar setup.
14:35
'cause they go from the pub, they
14:37
Jon: Mm-hmm.
14:37
Ryan: and then all hell breaks loose.
14:40
Jon: Yep.
14:40
Ryan: um, I'm happy you mentioned Williams, like his dream and stuff.
14:44
'cause the, the poor kid just wants to go to Australia.
14:48
He just wants to live his life and it's set up beautifully.
14:51
And then Eugene, I guess gets a little jealous and they have a little fight.
14:55
Jon: Mm-hmm.
14:55
Ryan: it's like American werewolf in London.
14:58
'cause of that remorse.
15:00
I feel like Eugene feels remorse as similar to the main
15:03
character in American Werewolf.
15:05
he gets bit and his friend's dead, he feels sorry and he's, I mean, different
15:10
style of film, you know, werewolf and this guy's human, but they have to go through
15:14
these actions to make it better as much as they can or try to, and for Eugene,
15:21
it's working for his father and kind of leads to where we head off after that.
15:28
Jon: Yeah, sort of begrudgingly working for his father, it was
15:32
definitely not what he wanted to do.
15:35
Ryan: not Eugene.
15:38
Jon: It.
15:38
He did not wanna work for
15:40
Kearns: their dad?
15:41
Ryan: It, it's horrible.
15:43
I,
15:44
Kearns: Terrible.
15:45
Jon: not great.
15:47
Ryan: we've all done it.
15:48
Okay.
15:49
Settled on
15:50
Jon: not great.
15:50
Kearns: Well, it's
15:51
Jon: great.
15:52
Kearns: some capacities, boyfriends, which is the worst of the two, in my opinion.
15:57
Ryan: think that'd be better.
16:00
No.
16:00
Uh, okay,
16:03
nevermind.
16:05
Kearns: Stepdad light, I guess it's worse.
16:10
So
16:12
Jon: Oh,
16:13
Ryan: You have a game.
16:14
Jon: of course there's a game.
16:16
Of course, there's a game.
16:19
Ryan: What?
16:19
Jon: Uh, it's,
16:20
Ryan: been having a good time.
16:21
Kearns: a thing.
16:22
You can't make me.
16:24
Jon: it's gonna be another, um, wonderful Stash or slash
16:31
Kearns: Hooray.
16:32
Jon: and we're gonna start here.
16:34
Kearns: on here, I'm stashing it.
16:37
Ryan: Vampires,
16:37
Jon: start right here with, of course it's vampires.
16:41
It's not gonna be, it's not all ones that are like huge obviously.
16:46
'cause here's embrace of the vampire.
16:48
Kearns: some pretty huge things in this one.
16:50
Ryan: that.
16:51
Jon: I, I, I just have, I just have to tell you, Alyssa Milano is probably my
16:58
biggest Hollywood crush, like forever.
17:01
Kearns: Yeah.
17:02
I
17:02
Jon: we're, she, she, yeah.
17:04
She and I are approximately the same age, so it was never creepy when I was in love
17:08
with her, when she was on Who's the boss?
17:10
And I just sort of grew up with that.
17:13
Kearns: That's fine.
17:13
As long as you don't watch reruns, you're okay.
17:15
Jon: Yeah.
17:16
And I don't So we're good?
17:18
Kearns: Get into trouble.
17:19
Jon: We're good.
17:20
Kearns: The problem is now, it's like Angela's Young,
17:23
Jon: Yeah.
17:24
Ryan: yeah.
17:26
Jon: Yeah.
17:27
They,
17:28
Kearns: not
17:28
Jon: they, but this was like Alyssa Milano's look, I'm not a kid anymore.
17:33
Movie.
17:35
She was not a kid anymore.
17:39
Kearns: Way before she was on that show with the other two
17:41
Hussies, what were their names?
17:43
Jon: Uh, one was Shannon Doherty.
17:46
Charmed
17:46
Kearns: and Rose
17:48
Jon: Rose McGowan.
17:49
Yep.
17:50
Kearns: Yeah,
17:51
Ryan: Oh.
17:51
Kearns: That was charmed.
17:53
Ryan: Huh?
17:54
Kearns: cousin loved that show.
17:55
I could never get into it.
17:57
Ryan: Yeah.
17:57
Rose McGowan came after because,
18:00
Kearns: Buffy wave, you know?
18:02
Jon: Mm-hmm.
18:02
Ryan: a good show.
18:03
I, I like
18:04
Jon: I,
18:04
Kearns: knew you were gonna defend it,
18:05
Ryan: I
18:05
Jon: I,
18:07
Ryan: I do
18:07
Jon: I never, I never watched an episode of Charmed, but I did wake up while
18:12
it was on, because it used to be on after the NBA on TNTA lot of times.
18:17
Ryan: mm-hmm.
18:17
Jon: So if I fell asleep before the end of the basketball
18:20
game, I'd wake up to Charmed.
18:23
Kearns: You'd be like, gone to heaven.
18:25
Jon: Oh,
18:27
Kearns: This is amazing.
18:28
Jon: what happened to LeBron?
18:31
Kearns: What do I do with this movie?
18:33
Ryan: Uh, I'm gonna slash it.
18:35
I'll, I'll break it.
18:36
I haven't seen it, so I'm gonna be honest, but I wrote it down.
18:39
Kearns: really good ones out there.
18:41
I have to slash it too 'cause I just, I don't think this holds up.
18:44
Ryan: I'm curious
18:45
Kearns: are No.
18:47
Jon: It, it, it doesn't hold up.
18:49
It, the only reason it holds up is because of the, the love scenes, so to speak.
18:56
Kearns: Yeah, it's like a, it's like a c porno.
18:58
Jon: Yeah.
18:59
It's, as close to Skin Max as, you know, Hollywood movie.
19:04
Kearns: unrated and R-rated versions
19:06
Jon: Yeah.
19:06
Movie.
19:07
it's not show girls, but it's, it's in that ballpark.
19:14
Ryan: All right.
19:14
Jon: All right.
19:15
Kearns: showgirls was too.
19:17
Ryan: It's a classic.
19:18
Jon: Movie number two.
19:19
Kearns: Okay.
19:20
Let's see.
19:23
Oh, I mean, that's no-brainer.
19:26
I love this movie.
19:28
Ryan: Are we keeping three?
19:29
Getting rid of five?
19:31
Jon: Yes.
19:31
Three, five.
19:33
Three, five.
19:33
Ryan: keep this one.
19:34
Yes.
19:35
I'll stash it with cairns.
19:37
Jon: So two.
19:38
Kearns: I might slash it now.
19:39
No, I'm gonna, I gotta keep it.
19:40
Ryan: You.
19:40
Oh.
19:40
Kearns: really do love this movie.
19:42
The premise of this movie is terrifying without any film behind it.
19:45
It's just such a great idea.
19:48
foreign vampires, so they show up on the boat at the beginning of this, like.
19:54
Trace Nocte thing that's going on the long
19:57
Ryan: Yep.
19:58
Kearns: so cool.
19:59
Ryan: Have you, have you read the book, the, the graphic novel?
20:02
Kearns: seen the graphic novel.
20:03
I don't own
20:04
Ryan: Oh,
20:04
Kearns: but I've, I've viewed it on the interwebs.
20:07
Ryan: so good.
20:07
I, I read the graphic novel and then saw the movie.
20:10
It's exactly as like that first run.
20:14
Harnett does an amazing job.
20:16
The buildup just like, uh,
20:19
Kearns: Net's understated man.
20:20
Ryan: yeah, he is, it's just so good.
20:23
And it's like tense because like as you go through the movie and people
20:27
are falling, it's like last hope.
20:29
As the days are coming to a close, it's like, what do we do?
20:32
And then you get that big swerve, even the book, how they build it up too.
20:37
It's like, whoa, this is what we're doing.
20:40
Okay.
20:41
right.
20:43
Just so
20:44
Jon: All right.
20:45
Ryan: If it was the sequel.
20:45
No, thank you.
20:49
Jon: 31 days of night.
20:50
Kearns: I I didn't catch the sequel.
20:52
Yeah.
20:52
I knew that was gonna be a dud.
20:54
Ryan: I, so they did it real quick.
20:56
In, in comic book they did a sequel.
20:58
The comic book was definitely 10 times better.
21:01
Jon: Mm-hmm.
21:02
Ryan: the movie, they just, they dumped it and it didn't work.
21:07
Kearns: Hm.
21:09
Jon: All right.
21:10
Ready for three?
21:13
Kearns: Yes.
21:14
Jon: There we go.
21:16
Kearns: Nah.
21:17
Ryan: Yeah.
21:18
I, I'll, I'll slash it.
21:20
Kearns: You know what's so funny is in the first episode we were
21:22
like, this should be an Oscar
21:24
Ryan: Yeah.
21:25
Kearns: I did like it.
21:26
I really did like this movie, but I don't think, I just know there's
21:30
gonna be some curve balls coming up.
21:32
And I know John, John wants me to stash this.
21:35
Ryan: Dracula dead and Loving it.
21:37
Kearns: She does such a great job in this movie.
21:39
But you know what, I'm slashing it just for the stash slash for the stash.
21:43
Jon: All right.
21:44
Yeah.
21:45
Uh, I forgot about this stash.
21:47
Yeah,
21:48
Ryan: if we do a rewatch of this, I'll grow a mustache.
21:52
Kearns: Please God.
21:52
Never grow a
21:53
Jon: please don't.
21:54
Please don't.
21:55
Kearns: world.
21:55
There wasn't a single person in our orbit at work that wasn't talking
21:59
about the, how awful that mustache was.
22:02
Ryan: I, I liked my mustache.
22:04
It was okay.
22:04
Kearns: a, you were an army of one.
22:08
Jon: Yeah.
22:09
Kearns: with a beard, man.
22:13
Don't
22:13
Ryan: you.
22:14
Thank you.
22:15
Jon: I don't know, maybe, maybe more handlebar.
22:19
Ryan: I was thinking about that,
22:20
Kearns: that could work.
22:20
Ryan: the fraud,
22:21
Kearns: was too, too, too little.
22:24
Ryan: right?
22:24
It was like, it was like, yeah.
22:27
Jon: Yeah.
22:27
Ryan: I mean, like, well,
22:28
Kearns: lean outta your car and offer kids McDonald's to come into it.
22:32
Ryan: yeah.
22:33
All right.
22:34
I mean, I can do, I'm gonna do the race out.
22:36
Cool.
22:37
Kearns: Ooh Ray.
22:39
That would be a good one.
22:40
You could do a bur bull.
22:41
Hurley stash.
22:42
Ryan: Ooh, do that.
22:44
Kearns: like it's a goatee without the bottom,
22:47
Jon: Mm-hmm.
22:48
Ryan: I'm down for that.
22:49
Kearns: Baby.
22:50
Jon: Yeah.
22:50
Kearns: go.
22:51

23:04
Ryan: Hmm?
23:05
Jon: Yeah, I do too.
23:05
I love this one.
23:07
Kearns: little twisty twist to it too.
23:08

23:10
Jon: No, no,
23:11
Kearns: Because I

Kearns: not say.
23:32
In
23:33
Jon: Ryan.
23:33
Kearns: I don't wanna ruin it for
23:34
Ryan: It, it was, it was one of those things where it's on the
23:37
radar and then a chance to watch it, and then they take it off
23:42
Jon: Ryan, your radar is like an underpaid, overworked
23:46
air traffic controller.
23:49
You're just leaving stuff circling until it crashes.
23:54
Ryan: I
23:54
Jon: Ryan?
23:55
Ryan: I'm horrible nowadays.
23:57
Kearns: man, without having seen any of these?
23:59
What if you

Jon: Yeah.
24:01
Ryan: Well, at least in, in, in like my final saying on like, from
24:05

Kearns: but he never saw let the right one in.
24:20
So shame this
24:21
Jon: I, I swear, swear.
24:25
Even if I have to pay for it, I am putting Bring her back on your tombstone.
24:31
Ryan: Oh, you can do that.

Kearns: mine or his,
24:34
Jon: Ryan's on Ryan's.
24:36

Ryan: know,
25:01
Kearns: this movie too.
25:02
Ryan: uh,
25:04
Jon: Remember, you only have one stash left.
25:07
Kearns: I do.
25:08
Ryan is too.
25:09
Ryan: I do.
25:10
And I, uh, but you might do, mm. You might cover fright night.
25:15

25:16
Kearns: gonna do Lost Boys.
25:17
I'm, I'm
25:18
Ryan: He is,
25:18
Kearns: for Lost Boys.
25:21
I have to wait for Lost Boys, just for the, the way the movie ends
25:25
Ryan: uh, you know what?
25:26
I, I'm gonna stick my guns.
25:28
I have fond memories of John Carpenter's vampires, because
25:32
I'll tell you a quick tidbit.
25:34
My uncle showed me this.
25:36
Kearns: I'm
25:36
Ryan: Oh,
25:36
Kearns: it spiritually, but not physically.
25:41
Ryan: listen, when I saw this, I was not supposed to watch this.
25:43
My uncle thought it was just a regular vampire film, and
25:46
then he like tits in the,
25:48
Kearns: Jovi
25:49
Ryan: oh my tits.
25:51
In the first five minutes they're dropping F bombs.
25:53
He's like, ear must,
25:54
Kearns: movie doesn't have tits?
25:56
Ryan: um, house of Dracula.
25:58
Horror of Dracula.
26:00
Lost boys doesn't have tits.
26:01
I,
26:02
Kearns: feel like Lost Boys
26:04
Ryan: no.
26:04
Kearns: boob.
26:04
At the very least,
26:05
Ryan: Uh, okay.
26:06
Kearns: was an eighties.
26:07
That was an eighties thing.
26:08
So maybe
26:09
Jon: Hmm
26:09
Kearns: was like violence was okay, but nudity was definitely out.
26:13
Jon: mm-hmm.
26:14
Ryan: I'd
26:14
Jon: were trying to keep,
26:15
Kearns: believe that.
26:16
Jon: they were trying to keep lost boys in that teen audience too.
26:20
And once you throw nudity in, you're not gonna get that.
26:23
Kearns: they can't go to the box office.
26:25
Jon: Yeah.
26:26
Ryan: I mean, it's still good though.
26:28
I mean, the amount of f-bombs in this film is,
26:32
Jon: Mm-hmm.
26:33
Ryan: it's been beaten, but at the time, held the record.
26:37
Jon: All right.
26:37
So what are you doing with this, Ryan?
26:40
Ryan: Oh, I said I I'm gonna stash it.
26:42
Kearns: He is stashing it.
26:43
Ryan: I am stashing it.
26:44
Kearns: Son of a bitch.
26:45
Ryan: I,
26:46
Jon: So
26:46
Ryan: the the
26:47
Jon: you both had.
26:48
Kearns: still
26:48
Ryan: The opening scene.
26:50
What?
26:51
Kearns: or four
26:51
Ryan: Oh man.
26:52
He's got
26:53
Kearns: scene's fantastic.
26:54
Jon: Oh, there's three left.
26:56
You guys each have one stash and two slashes, and I think
27:00
it's gonna get tough from here
27:02
Kearns: I am sure it is.
27:05
Jon: next.
27:06
There it is.
27:09
Kearns: Why would you do that there?
27:11
I thought it was gonna be the last
27:12
Ryan: Uh,
27:13
Kearns: Now I have to slash the next two without knowing I have to stash it.
27:18
There's no, there's no questioning.
27:20
It's the lost boys for Christ's sake.
27:22
I'm very happy with my choices.
27:23
By the way, 30 days of night, let the right one in.
27:26
And the lost boys are, I will sleep fine tonight.
27:31
Jon: Oh, we'll see.
27:33
Ryan: you know what I, this is Jada's film.
27:36
This is her favorite film.
27:38
Kearns: a good thing.
27:38
We're not asking her to
27:39
Ryan: it's,
27:40
Kearns: at that.
27:40
Ryan: oh, it's gonna relate to my top five two, but I'm slashing it because I know
27:45
you have probably Bram Stoker's Dracula on here, and I'm not, I'm not slashing that.
27:51
I'm not slashing that.
27:53
Kearns: I have no problem slashing that.
27:54
I
27:54
Jon: Do I
27:55
Kearns: it's Keanu
27:57
Ryan: I,
27:57
Jon: do I guys, this, this is a really broad category, so if
28:02
you're trying to do this based on what you think I have on here,
28:06
Ryan: I,
28:07
Jon: it's gonna be hard.
28:08
It's gonna be hard.
28:09
It's, it is vampires, but, all right.
28:13
Ryan: I'd
28:13
Jon: Let's see.
28:14
Kearns: still cool with this.
28:16
Jon: So Kerns, you're cutting the last two Ryan.

29:06
Jon: All right.
29:07
Kearns: we do in the shadows is fantastic.
29:08
All right.
29:09
What'd you do for the last one?
29:10
Because I
29:10
Ryan: Okay.
29:10
Kearns: wasn't meant to hurt my feelings.
29:12
Ryan: What do we got?
29:13
Mystery box.
29:16
Oh, I'm, I'm ex I'm cool with it.
29:17
I'm cool with it.
29:18
I completely, yes.
29:22
Kearns: would I trade for this though?
29:23
Ryan: Um, 30 days a night.
29:27
Kearns: No,
29:28
Ryan: What?
29:29
Kearns: think that's the better Vampire movie
29:31
Jon: That's probably the one I would from what you stashed you.
29:34
Ryan: Sam
29:36
Jon: too.
29:37
Ryan: This, my conversation earlier with Jada was Sam Hayek.
29:40
Kearns: Selma Hayek, Quentin Tarantino licking her feet thing.
29:45
is vampires, and the vampires in this movie are pretty mediocre,
29:50
Ryan: Danny
29:50
Kearns: my opinion.
29:51
Ryan: Marin, the titty twister.
29:54
Kearns: No, they're, fighty vampires.
29:56
They're martial artsy vampires.
29:58
They're, night of the, uh, what's it, demons kind of vampires.
30:03
Jon: you, like how I bookended that with sexy, we embrace the vampire
30:07
and from dust till dawn at the end.
30:09
Kearns: I, I didn't get
30:10
Ryan: like it.
30:10
Kearns: thirst trap either you tricky bastard,
30:15
but that, that Selma Hayak in that movie is the peak of like
30:19
everybody's lustful desires.
30:21
Literally, anytime somebody shows a, like a thing of women that you have
30:25
to choose from and she's not on there, the only GIF for meme that comes
30:28
down there is her with that snake.
30:30
Ryan: Yep.
30:31
Kearns: think it's unanimous.
30:32
Every man in the world agrees.
30:34
Ryan: The scene's also iconic.
30:37
Jon: Yeah.
30:38
I,
30:39
Kearns: her name?
30:39
Diablo.
30:40
Um,
30:42
Ryan: Yep.
30:42
Kearns: Tica.
30:44
Jon: Satan.
30:46
Kearns: Double double on that one.
30:47
Jon: Mm-hmm.
30:48
Ryan: just, uh, now I got the movie in my head 'cause I'm thinking of the
30:52
Kearns: I'm cool with it.
30:53
I'm cool with it.
30:54
I think 30 days night's the better Vampire
30:57
Ryan: Oh.
30:58
Compared to from dust til dawn.
30:59
Okay.
31:00
Kearns: I didn't say it was the better movie.
31:01
I just think it's the Better Vampire movie.
31:04
I don't consider it from Dust till dawn to be a vampire movie Really?
31:07
At all.
31:08
Ryan: Action.
31:10
Kearns: Yeah.
31:11
Ryan: But
31:11
Jon: It's 2D.
31:13
Kearns: movie,
31:13
Jon: Yeah.
31:13
It's two different movies.
31:15
It's a, it's an action movie for about 40 minutes, and then it's a vampire movie.
31:19
Ryan: but that's like that thin line.
31:21
Real quick.
31:21
'cause I was thinking about Blade today, like Blade is action,
31:25
Kearns: an action movie.
31:26
I
31:26
Jon: Mm-hmm.
31:27
Kearns: vampire movie
31:27
Ryan: there's a little horror in it though, with
31:30
Jon: Yeah.
31:30
Ryan: the vampire myth and the buildup and all that.
31:34
A little, but
31:34
Kearns: like edgy, sexy, deacon Frost.
31:37
He, I'm surprised he doesn't have his, Steven Dorf doesn't have
31:40
his logic cigarette in that one.
31:42
He's just, just, I don't know, dude.
31:46
To me, it's not a vampire movie.
31:48
Let the right one in is a terrifying concept of a vampire movie.
31:52
Ryan: Oh yeah.
31:52
Jon: Mm-hmm.
31:53
Kearns: and what the cost of immortality is, and how lonely that can be.
31:56
The isolationism.
31:58
Oh my God, that's a story, you know?
32:02
Jon: Mm-hmm.
32:02
Kearns: And I didn't give too much away
32:04
Jon: No, no.
32:05
Ryan: Yeah,
32:05
Kearns: gotta tell you, Ryan, you're going to be affected by that film.
32:09
Ryan: that I'm gonna try to
32:11
Jon: Very.
32:11
Yeah,
32:12
Ryan: I'm gonna, I'm gonna do it this weekend.
32:14
Kearns: I hope you do,
32:15
Jon: you should.
32:17
You definitely should.
32:18
Kearns: think
32:19
Ryan: I will.
32:19
Kearns: need to be delivered from this
32:21
Ryan: I need to let the right one in,
32:23
Kearns: film do
32:24
Jon: And not the, don't watch the American one first.
32:28
Kearns: now.
32:29
It's really good though.
32:30
Jon: It's, it's good.
32:31
It's nowhere near the original.
32:33
Ryan: it's not like a grudge like situation where like the
32:37
Japanese version's better and the American version just tanked.
32:41
Jon: No, the,
32:42
Kearns: The American version of the grudge is bad.
32:44
Jon: yeah, no, let, let the right one in is definitely the superior version,
32:51
Ryan: Okay.
32:51
Jon: but let me in.
32:52
Does, does enough things well for it to be good.
32:55
I,
32:55
Ryan: Okay, I'll check it out.
32:57
I've seen enough like pictures of it, of the girl from the original
33:02
version, so I get something's going on with her, but I don't know much one
33:07
of those things that I didn't spoil.
33:11
Kearns: there's a, there's a, it's not even a slow burn, it's just a good movie.
33:15
Just watch
33:16
Jon: yeah.
33:16
Kearns: if I talk about it anymore, I'm gonna ruin it for you.
33:18
And I'd hate myself if I did that 'cause I, you really gonna love it.
33:22
It's
33:22
Ryan: I
33:22
Kearns: of
33:22
Ryan: I,
33:23
Kearns: man.
33:23
Ryan: I'm down for it.
33:25
I'm down.
33:25
Uh,
33:25
Kearns: come back and revise the list after.
33:27
See if you change your tune a little bit about vampires.
33:30
'cause you saw your boobies on there, your first boobs.
33:34
Jon: I don't, I don't know, because that's still John Carpenter and that's, that's
33:38
like a big Ryan Ryan Love thing there,
33:42
Ryan: Oh,
33:42
Kearns: carpenter.
33:44
Ryan: from New York.
33:45
Uh, you know what?
33:45
I don't wanna start the thing.
33:48
M Ready.
33:49
Kearns: right.
33:50
All
33:51
Jon: star man.
33:51
Kearns: to this movie
33:53
Ryan: boys from county?
33:54
Hell.
33:54
Kearns: Alvar talk.
33:56
So, um, as people begin dying and bleeding, the rocks
34:01
start slurping up the blood,
34:04
Jon: Yep.
34:04
Kearns: that is the means to which the ABT attack seems to be gaining
34:08
strength, not drinking directly from people, as John alluded to earlier.
34:13
So the goring by the bull basically gave enough juice to
34:17
the cairn awaken the ABT attack,
34:21
Ryan: Mm-hmm.
34:22
Kearns: but he
34:22
Jon: And then
34:23
Kearns: out yet, like
34:24
Jon: no, because he still couldn't, he still couldn't get out from under
34:27
the rocks until construction starts.
34:32
And Eugene, under his father's orders, knocks the cairn over and
34:38
from then on nothing is right.
34:41
Ryan: No.
34:41
Kearns: And doesn't Eugene figure that the um, or doesn't his father
34:45
George figure that that's going to keep the, the A attack is going to get
34:49
out and just kill all the road guys?
34:51
Isn't that the logic?
34:53
Jon: Um, George kind of thinks that, but I think George is also well aware
34:57
of what it's gonna do once it's freed.
35:01
Kearns: Yeah.
35:03
Jon: I think George's interest from the time his, his son William dies
35:07
is William, and anything beyond that is just sort of incidental.
35:15
Kearns: Gotcha.
35:17
Ryan: agreed.
35:18
'cause he's
35:18
Jon: But, um, you need
35:20
Ryan: to help this son.
35:23
Jon: mm-hmm.
35:25
Yeah.
35:25
He's trying to do something with his son who we find out he, he has
35:31
his very much still unde son locked up in, a barred room in his house.
35:41
Ryan: I just
35:42
Kearns: I mean, I, I could, I could imagine doing something similar to that.
35:45
Sure.
35:46
Jon: Yeah.
35:46
Yeah.
35:47
I mean, definitely.
35:48
That's, that's what you should do.
35:50
Kearns: Yeah.
35:50
I mean, I would,
35:52
Jon: Yeah.
35:52
Kearns: a zombie movie?
35:54
Yeah.
35:54
Ryan: yep.
35:55
Kearns: Dawn of the Dead, he
35:56
Jon: Mm-hmm.
35:57
Kearns: zombie wife and then
35:58
Jon: Mm-hmm.
35:58
Kearns: baby
35:59
Jon: Yes.
36:00
Yep.
36:02
Ryan: Seems still horrific.
36:05
Kearns: free.
36:06
Rent free in the head?
36:07
Yep.
36:07
Ryan: The CGI baby.
36:10
Kearns: It just jump scares you and then you start act two of the film basically,
36:14
Ryan: Yep.
36:14
Jon: Yeah, but I mean, from here it's sort of you now they really sink into
36:20
the horror comedy You get, Charlie, the guy they hire as a guard who gets
36:28
turned into it, becomes a vampire.
36:30
And, you know, trying to, trying to get rid of him turns into a lot of fun gags.
36:35
Like, like they put the pole through him and then like put him in a hole.
36:40
And in the background he's like climbing his way off the pole.
36:45
Kearns: and you can't
36:46
Jon: They do a, they do a lot of funny stuff in the background.
36:50
I believe it's the ab attack gets its head cut off at one point
36:53
Ryan: Yep.
36:54
Jon: and in the background, in the background, you see the head
36:57
working its way back to the body.
37:00
Like they do.
37:01
Ryan: Yep.
37:01
Jon: There's a lot of, those gags going on.
37:05
Kearns: Which is good.
37:05
It gives the movie a nice little not, and not campy humor at
37:08
all, like real funny stuff.
37:11
Jon: Yeah.
37:12
Kearns: I agree.
37:14
Goofy stuff,
37:15
Ryan: not forced.
37:16
It's like, na, it's natural.
37:18
And that's, I, I like that.
37:20
It gives you
37:21
Jon: Mm-hmm.
37:21
Ryan: natural feel.
37:22
Kearns: playing pranks.
37:22
Kind of funny.
37:24
Ryan: yeah.
37:25
Kearns: the kind of laughs you're looking at there.
37:26
It's pretty good stuff.
37:27
And I, I just love that they don't skimp on the, the lore at all.
37:32
They do build their own.
37:33
Uh, so there's the idea that the ab attack was, imprisoned initially by a chieftain.
37:39
Jon: Mm-hmm.
37:41
Kearns: That chieftain may have been given the method of having of how to do it by,
37:46
I don't know, some, some wizard of some sort, but some Merlin esque character.
37:52
But the chieftain himself is the one who repeatedly defeated the attack until
37:57
he finally imprisoned him in the C. And then we find out that of the lineage
38:02
of that chieftain is Eugene and George.
38:06
Jon: Eugene and Eugene and Francy.
38:09
Francie is Eugene's dad.
38:11
Ryan: Yep.
38:11
Jon: Francy,
38:12
Kearns: Eugene and
38:13
Jon: sorry.
38:14
Kearns: So there we go.
38:15
Jon: Mm-hmm.
38:17
Ryan: Charlie, I was thinking of sp the,
38:21
Jon: Oh yeah.
38:22
SP is a
38:22
Ryan: and
38:23
Jon: SP's a fun character.
38:24
Yeah.
38:24
Kearns: like 37 minutes ago.
38:26
Ryan: Yeah, well, I said Charlie and I was like, yeah, that's Charlie.
38:29
And then you're like, Charlie's the drunk.
38:30
He gets like messed up with the, I was like, oh
38:32
Jon: Mm-hmm.
38:33
Ryan: the guy.
38:33
All right.
38:34
I got the names confused, but SP was hilarious through the whole thing, like
38:37
with the one-liners, and he gave me like a John Goodman esque vibe after watching
38:44
clips of Big Lebowski the other night.
38:45
I was like, oh my God.
38:47
Kearns: John Goodman from Roseanne is one of the funniest characters
38:51
Ryan: Dan,
38:51
Kearns: Dan.
38:52
Yeah.
38:52
Dan's character in Roseanne is, I mean, John Goodman's character, Dan
38:55
and Roseanne is one of the funniest characters for just natural comedy.
39:00
Ryan: Dan is John Goodman
39:02
Kearns: When he punches, when he gets back from punching, the guy who beat up Jackie
39:06
Ryan: the bucket of chicken
39:07
Kearns: you need to put alcohol on that.
39:08
And he is like, good idea.
39:09
And he grabs a beer.
39:10
Jon: Mm-hmm.
39:10
Kearns: best.
39:11
It's the
39:11
Jon: Mm-hmm.
39:12
So something more modern that, I'm reminded of watching the
39:16
relationship with Eugene Claire.
39:18
Sp and, um, William, while Williams with us, is they sort of feel
39:24
a lot like the letter Kenny.
39:28
Uh.
39:29
Kearns: Yes.
39:29
Jon: You guys like
39:31
Ryan: Yes.
39:32
Jon: Yeah, yeah.
39:34
Like they, really have that kind of dynamic a little bit too.
39:38
Especially, the SP character.
39:40
'cause he's just, I mean he even sort of looks like the dude.
39:43
Ryan: Yeah, he does.
39:44
Kearns: That's great.
39:45
Do you know my wife for my birthday, my 40th birthday got him
39:48
to do one of those messages for
39:50
Ryan: That's awesome.
39:51
Jon: That's awesome.
39:52
Kearns: Yeah.
39:52
So I
39:53
Jon: That's awesome.
39:53
Kearns: of it, of squirrely Dan,
39:54
Jon: Mm-hmm.
39:55
Kearns: like pseudo insulting
39:57
Jon: Mm-hmm.
39:57
Kearns: for 35 seconds.
39:59
I was like, yay.
40:00
Jon: So
40:01
Kearns: It was really cool.
40:02
Jon: I forget what it was for, I think it might have been Christmas one year
40:05
Allison got me, um, a Nne Quigley cameo
40:09
Ryan: Oh,
40:09
Jon: and that was awesome.
40:11
Yeah.
40:11
Kearns: neat.
40:12
Jon: awesome.
40:13
Kearns: Super neat.
40:14
Um, all right, back in the, we're so full of tangents tonight,
40:17
but we're just full of fun.
40:18
Full of
40:18
Jon: Yeah.
40:19
Fun tangents.
40:21
Ryan: this is what this movie is though.
40:22
It's fun, spontaneous, like I,
40:25
Kearns: basically rolled through the ends.
40:27
we identified Eugene as the only savior of the, of county hell,
40:32
Ryan: yep.
40:32
Jon: Yeah.
40:34
Kearns: and he's the only one who could defeat the ABT attack.
40:37
One cool thing about the ABT attack that you notice is as you continue
40:40
to see it, it does its appearance, does change theories, boys,
40:45
Jon: Mm-hmm.
40:45
Kearns: it starts to look more human.
40:48
Jon: Um, it's consuming and regenerating.
40:51
the ATech is very much like the mummy Eho tip.
40:57
Ryan: Okay.
41:00
Kearns: So if you were to continue to feed blood to the cairn or continue to
41:05
consume it, however you wanna think of it, how would the AB attack wind up?
41:10
Would we get like a Dracula esque, super wise, stoic, humanoid
41:15
vampire, or would it stay ghoulish?
41:18
Jon: think so.
41:19
I think, I think you'd get.
41:21
I think you'd wind up with more of a primal killing machine with minus
41:26
the debonair, just, just monster.
41:31
Ryan: Okay.
41:31
Kearns: they would've bypassed that too.
41:33
you know, like the whole vampire hunter d if you're, a muggle
41:35
on that, educate yourselves.
41:37
Okay.
41:39
It's important.
41:40
It's important, but they, they go deep into how all the old vampires are so
41:45
powerful, and basically all they really need to become more powerful is time.
41:49
As time goes by, you just become exponentially more powerful.
41:52
So the older, original kind of ones are super duper strong
41:56
Jon: Mm-hmm.
41:57
Kearns: So I think it's kind of like that, but without, like John
42:00
said, without the civil civilized portion of it, it'll stay feral.
42:04
Ryan: I don't know.
42:05
And the reason why I say I don't know is because they say a line in the part
42:10
about the Stoker's bar, how Stoker stole the idea of the Aber Curry Abta Ab ab,
42:17
Kearns: Albuquerque,
42:18
Ryan: the Albuquerque, as they, it's not the Albuquerque,
42:22
Kearns: the AB attack,
42:23
Ryan: the Abta, Bra Stoker stole the idea for the AB attack and then creates Dracula
42:29
and that they're like, oh, they stole, he, they know Bra stole the idea and all that.
42:33
Kearns: well, Stoker's Irish.
42:36
Ryan: Oh,
42:37
Kearns: that?
42:38
Ryan: yeah,
42:40
Kearns: Yeah.
42:41
Ryan: yeah.
42:41
Kearns: did you know,
42:43
Ryan: No, I, I, yeah, I thought he was English.
42:45
Kearns: stoker may have gotten the, the, uh, from this, this exact story
42:55
because there are parallels here.
42:57
Ryan: Oh, yeah.
42:58
Yeah.
42:59
That's why I figured like with the elegant, unless Graham just added
43:03
that to make it a little more like, you know, a little more flavor.
43:07
Kearns: combined this with Vlad, the Impaler
43:09
Jon: Yeah.
43:10
Kearns: Dracula.
43:11
Jon: Yeah.
43:12
Ryan: So
43:12
Jon: And he, he made like a gothic e romance out of it too, like a romantic
43:18
figure and that, like, I don't think the, A attack is gonna get to that.
43:23
Ryan: Okay.
43:23
Kearns: and more.
43:24
I mean, no, ATU is closer to Tak than to Dracula, in my opinion.
43:28
Ryan: True,
43:28
Jon: Yeah.
43:29
Yeah.
43:30
I think so.
43:31
Ryan: Okay.
43:31
Kearns: Yeah.
43:32
So it's interesting though to see kind of like another version because this is
43:37
Jon: Mm-hmm.
43:38
Kearns: of the same idea, but you're, you're just taking away the romance
43:41
angle and the civility, like you said, that he's not a count of anything.
43:45
He's guy
43:46
Jon: Mm-hmm.
43:46
Kearns: of rocks.
43:47
Jon: Yep.
43:48
Ryan: In the dirt,
43:49
Kearns: that super old, but in the dirt.
43:54
I think it's so funny though.
43:55
We can't, we can't beat it.
43:56
So let's just put big heavy rocks on it
44:00
Jon: I mean, like, it, it, it's, it's inventive in that way.
44:05
Like, we're not gonna be able to beat this thing.
44:07
So how do we, how do we survive?
44:09
Well, let's just put heavy stuff.
44:12
Ryan: Just
44:12
Jon: Every heavy thing.
44:15
So cairns, how did you make it Through the end?
44:18
With Francie in the leg.
44:22
Kearns: to.
44:25
I'm not too bad with stuff.
44:27
It's, it's, I don't know what it is.
44:29
It's gotta be like nichey
44:31
Jon: Mm-hmm.
44:31
Kearns: with self-harm and stuff.
44:33
But actually just being like, take my leg and beat it to death with it, that's fine.
44:38
Isn't too bad.
44:39
I have a harder time with scalpels and things like that than I do, but
44:44
I just, I don't dig body horror in general as like being the focal point.
44:48
But if there's gore in a movie, there's gore in a movie, I'm
44:51
Jon: Mm-hmm.
44:53
Kearns: Somebody chewing on a butcher knife and doing all the
44:58
other things that happened in that movie and that abomination of a
45:01
Ryan: Chewing the table.
45:02
Kearns: good.
45:03
Yeah, that was bad
45:04
Ryan: You know,
45:06
Kearns: you're just sitting there, your whole body is like aching
45:08
because your tense to the gills.
45:10
That's not fun for me.
45:11
I don't like that.
45:12
So it didn't
45:14
Ryan: I,
45:14
Kearns: me too much.
45:14
I thought it was a great use of the leg.
45:16
Jon: Yeah, so I mean, so for the listeners, Francie Falls and his leg
45:23
is destroyed and he can't run anymore.
45:27
so Eugene, they decide that the best thing to do is use his leg as, as a spear and.
45:37
Ryan: It's the one
45:38
Jon: Yeah, so
45:39
Ryan: one of the
45:39
Jon: Eugene stabs the leg that he just ripped off of his father into the a attack
45:47
and gets him down, and then immediately with the dirt and the rocks and
45:51
Ryan: Yep.
45:53
Jon: just enough.
45:55
Kearns: Berries and
45:57
Ryan: simple, creative
46:00
Jon: Mm-hmm.
46:00
Ryan: the point,
46:01
Jon: Mm-hmm.
46:02
Ryan: it an excellent horror comedy film.
46:05
Jon: Yep.
46:06
Ryan: It's
46:06
Jon: Yep.
46:07
Ryan: and it's folklore they're using and
46:11
Jon: Mm-hmm.
46:12
Ryan: Excellent.
46:13
Jon: Yep.
46:14
Ryan: it enough.
46:15
Jon: Yep.
46:15
And then you, you get, you get the little coda, Eugene is
46:18
still adding rocks to the cairn
46:21
Ryan: Yep.
46:21
Jon: and you get Dream warriors.
46:24
Ryan: Yes you do.
46:26
Yes you
46:27
Jon: anytime, you can put Dream Warriors in a movie, you'll make me happy.
46:30
Kearns: I know that's one of your faves,
46:32
Jon: Mm-hmm.
46:33
Kearns: so that's the boys from county.
46:34
Hell, we liked it.
46:37
We give it stars of sorts.
46:39
We're
46:39
Jon: Well,
46:39
Kearns: a review
46:41
Jon: yeah, I have some reviews for you.
46:42
I'm gonna do 'em in a, in opposite order this time before we give you ours.
46:46
Let's see what some other people said.
46:48
And I will say, um, we're talking critic score 82%, audience scores, 65%.
46:57
Ryan: Really?
46:58
Jon: But yeah,
47:00
Ryan: That
47:00
Jon: Rotten Tomatoes.
47:01
Rotten tomatoes, there is not a one star review to be had.
47:05
Ryan: See, that's
47:05
Jon: So I had to go to, I had to go to one and a half.
47:09
So here's a one and a half star review.
47:11
Ryan: Okay.
47:12
Jon: Uh oh.
47:13
We've unleashed a monster run.
47:16
Oh, I guess we have to fight.
47:19
Fight.
47:20
Oh, if we fight hard enough, we can defeat it.
47:23
Isn't that grand?
47:25
Not much to say about this.
47:26
Rarely funny and never scary horror romp.
47:31
Kearns: I would say that it's not a very scary movie, but it is definitely funny.
47:35
Jon: Yeah, and I mean like the first half of that review, like,
47:40
yeah, that's what a horror movie is.
47:44
There's a monster.
47:46
We have to run from it or we have to fight it.
47:49
Like that's a horror movie.
47:51
That's
47:52
Ryan: It's always
47:55
Jon: don't like that.
47:56
Yeah, if you don't like that part, you're probably not a horror fan in general.
48:03
Kearns: Not no friend of
48:04
Ryan: No.
48:04
Jon: No friend of her, no.
48:06
Kearns: No,
48:07
Ryan: Every horror film,
48:08
Kearns: care for, you
48:10
Ryan: uh, we're, we're not gonna beat that mean, but a little bit.
48:13
But, you know, every horror film follows the same beats.
48:16
They might change it somewhere.
48:18
Love it.
48:19
And if you hate it, it what?
48:21
Go watch a
48:21
Jon: Yeah.
48:22
Ryan: watch a comedy.
48:22
It's the same thing.
48:23
Same beats
48:24
Kearns: film doesn't follow the same beats,
48:26
Ryan: Hard ice.
48:27
Kearns: one in.
48:28
Ryan: Oh, I was like, hard ice.
48:31
Kearns: No, that's, that's just a interesting silly Billy movie V.
48:36
Jon: Mm-hmm.
48:37
Ryan: That was,
48:38
Jon: Um,
48:39
Kearns: let's hear
48:39
Jon: I also found, I also found a couple five stars for
48:44
you guys, so, um, five stars.
48:46
Absolutely loved it.
48:49
Like the tone and authenticity, ordinary characters in extraordinary
48:54
situations with hilarious, heartfelt, and horrific results.
49:00
Kearns: Well written
49:01
Ryan: Very well, right.
49:02
Kearns: I like quick
49:03
Jon: Yeah,
49:03
Kearns: a
49:04
Jon: yeah, yeah.
49:04
Kearns: long.
49:06
Jon: No, no.
49:07
And one other five star.
49:10
Um, as close to an accurate Irish reaction to a blood thirsty vampire as
49:16
you are going to get the right quantity of tongue in cheek twists and gore.
49:23
Kearns: Yeah.
49:24
Ryan: Yeah,
49:24
Jon: I'm not,
49:25
Kearns: Good.
49:27
Jon: that's what the boys from county hell is to me, so,
49:30
Kearns: what, our reviews are probably gonna be somewhere in
49:33
between one and a half and five stars.
49:37
Jon: yeah.
49:37
Kearns: nickel, Benia nickel.
49:40
Jon: Yeah.
49:40
So who wants to start?
49:43
Ryan: I'll go,
49:44
Kearns: last time.
49:45
Ryan: yeah, I'll go.
49:45
I'm gonna give this a 3.75 out of five.
49:50
Kearns: Oh, that's what I'm.
49:51
Ryan: I it, listen, it, it beat my expectations.
49:55
walked in, I, I hear horror comedy.
49:57
The first thing I think of is Young Frankenstein in
50:00
Dracula, dead and loving it.
50:02
And a little repossessed.
50:03
So I'm thinking about that.
50:04
And then I see this, it's a straightforward film.
50:08
The comedy is natural.
50:10
It doesn't have like, it doesn't do anything crazy to change the wheel, but
50:14
it brings out a few differences on the vampire lore that gets you interested.
50:20
I feel, again, if they made it maybe a little longer, gave a little
50:23
more exposition, know, stretched out the story, I'd give it a four.
50:29
Like maybe make it like an hour, 45 minute film.
50:31
Give it a little more like depths and stuff.
50:34
But I think 3.75 fits perfectly.
50:36
'cause you like the characters, the stories quick, hits every beat, and
50:42
you want more after watching it.
50:45
Kearns: Yeah,
50:48
Jon: And current, you're 3, 7, 5.
50:51
Yeah.
50:51
Kearns: 5.
50:52
I liked it.
50:52
I thought it, I guess I'm not gonna go nearly as in depth as Ryan did, but
50:56
uh, I think they took a really cool bit of folklore that's somewhat obscure,
51:00
which is usually a winning recipe.
51:02
And they didn't screw that up.
51:04
kind of nailed it.
51:05
They did that nice little dance between funny and, and actiony and.
51:10
know, it's, it's not a scary movie.
51:13
It's not meant to be a scary movie.
51:15
It's no, it's
51:15
Jon: No.
51:16
Kearns: head,
51:17
Jon: No.
51:18
Kearns: it's, it's trying to be something else.
51:20
It's closer for, to, from Dust Till Dawn than it
51:23
Jon: Yeah.
51:23
Kearns: anything like that's meant to terrify you.
51:25
But it does.
51:27
It's sha of the Dead esque
51:29
Ryan: Yep.
51:29
Kearns: it's great.
51:30
And it's just great.
51:32
I enjoyed it 3 7 5, because it's no Sha of the Dead, but
51:35
Ryan: that's a five.
51:37
Kearns: I mean, it's up there.
51:39
I don't give out five so willy-nilly, but if there's a five to be had
51:43
for a horror comedy, it might be Sha of the Dead, um, for sure.
51:47
So yeah, 3, 7, 5.
51:48
Now for the big man.
51:50
Jon: I am gonna go a touch higher than you guys and I'm gonna go four.
51:55
Ryan: Okay.
51:55
Jon: I don't have any complaint about the length.
51:57
I like it being right about an hour and a half.
52:00
It's nice, it's tidy that way they hit the notes they need to hit,
52:05
you know, it's got the laughs.
52:06
It's got enough of the horror and the gore to satisfy that urge.
52:11
It worked for me.
52:12
It worked really well for me.
52:14
Kearns: Nice.
52:15
Ryan: Word.
52:15
Kearns: Well done.
52:17
Jon: Yeah.
52:19
Kearns: Good old Irish time.
52:22
Ryan: Oh, the
52:22
Jon: I'll let you do that.
52:24
Kearns: Day.
52:24
Jon: I'll have one of those.
52:25
So we'll let you do the accents.
52:28
Kearns: Uh,
52:29
Ryan: The Irish.
52:31
Oh, what?
52:33
Kearns: right, so let's see.
52:34
I guess we gotta do top fives.
52:35
I've got a top five tonight.
52:37
Jon: Woo.
52:38
Surprise.
52:38
Top
52:39
Kearns: me to go last or you want me to go first?
52:42
Ryan: Hmm.
52:43
Kearns: Hmm.
52:45
Ryan: Ooh.
52:46
let
52:46
Jon: five is.
52:47
Ryan: fast.
52:48
Jon: Is Rourke gonna be on it?
52:50
Ryan: Ooh.
52:50
Is R
52:52
Kearns: Well, like county ro No,
52:54
Jon: Rourke.
52:55
Kearns: I thought, because I like obscure myths.
52:58
I do like obscure Celtic myths.
53:01
I would give you guys my top five Celtic mythical creatures.
53:06
Jon: I like it.
53:07
Kearns: Do,
53:08
Jon: Yeah, go for it.
53:09
Ryan: Yeah, do it.
53:10
Jon: Now that you've introduced it, you kind of have to go first,
53:12
Kearns: do, do.
53:13
Okay, so I'm gonna start with the Seie, which is like a crazy seal,
53:18
which is just so Irish and it is folk glorious nature because like seal, but
53:23
it sheds its skin to become a super hot lady who comes on land and then it
53:27
drags you into the water to kill you.
53:29
Ryan: okay.
53:30
Kearns: awesome.
53:31
Jon: it hasn't been kissed by a rose.
53:33
Kearns: It hasn't been kissed by a rose, but it might have
53:35
been kissed by Heidi Klum.
53:37
Ryan: Oh,
53:39
Kearns: Mm-hmm.
53:41
Next up, it's better than r Kelly who also had a hit single at the same time
53:47
as, uh, kiss by A Rose was out by the way.
53:50
Ryan: I can't sing that song.
53:51
Yeah.
53:52
Kearns: you can't.
53:53
Ryan: No.
53:54
Kearns: Kelpie Kelpie you guys have probably heard of, which is another
53:57
water spirit, um, usually looks like a horse, but it tricks people into
54:01
writing it drags them into the water to
54:04
Ryan: Yeah.
54:05
Kearns: One of your favorite authors may not have used a rendition of
54:07
this in, in one of their novels.
54:09
Who knows?
54:10
Who knows?
54:11
It's kind of like the bunyips that shows up in Beneath the Veil, I digress.
54:17
the Pooka,
54:18
Ryan: The,
54:18
Kearns: mischievous, malicious shape-shifting fairy.
54:22
It's called a Puka
54:23
Ryan: Puka,
54:24
Kearns: takes Yeah, puka.
54:25
And it looks like another black horse with, glowing eyes and they tend
54:30
to bring chaos and they're usually associated with a, a crappy harvest.
54:35
Jon: And do they also make you wear those douchey shell necklaces?
54:39
Kearns: Is that
54:40
Ryan: Let
54:40
Kearns: puka is like?
54:41
A
54:41
Jon: Shell, yeah.
54:43
Kearns: oh, I didn't know that.
54:44
didn't know they were called puka shells.
54:45
That's kind of cool.
54:46
And unfortunately this isn't a water spirit, so that's even funnier.
54:50
It's even funnier.
54:51
But you know, folklore, maybe polka,
54:55
Ryan: Polka
54:56
Kearns: you know, do the polka dancing.
54:58
Now we're getting into the top two, so your guys are gonna recognize these.
55:00
The Banes is obviously badass
55:03
Ryan: Yep.
55:03
Kearns: female spirit of a fairy.
55:04
Usually it's a fairy woman of Faye, one of the good folk, but she's
55:08
out at night and it announces the impending death of a family member
55:11
or yourself in some cases with a shriek that you can hear from far off.
55:17
If you hear it generally, you know, somebody that you love is
55:20
going to die and it could be you.
55:23
It was
55:23
Jon: Right.
55:24
Kearns: to get kids in before dark.
55:25
That's what I like about this one.
55:27
and the next one kind of is that really it's to get scare kids into coming
55:31
home so that they don't get molested by the dude who lives down the street.
55:35
Jon: That's reasonable.
55:36
Kearns: It's real.
55:37
I mean,
55:37
Ryan: It is true.
55:38
Kearns: for.
55:38
You know,
55:38
Jon: Yeah.
55:40
Kearns: we'd rather tell you about a scary ghost fairy woman who's going to bring
55:43
on Gram Graham's death and tell you that, you know, Carl is a little suspicious
55:48
Jon: Mm-hmm.
55:50
Kearns: and the sun's getting real low, big guy.
55:52
So we gotta get home.
55:54
Ryan: Carl.
55:56
Kearns: Oh,
55:57
Ryan: Carl,
55:58
Kearns: I know
55:59
Ryan: Carl.
55:59
Kearns: said Carl.
56:00
The name is Blacklisted.
56:02
Ryan: Girl.
56:03
Kearns: then Ryan.
56:04
Uh, and John, actually, you guys may like this a lot because the doula hand,
56:09
you've never heard of it, headless rider who gallops on a black horse, often
56:14
holding his own severed head aloft.
56:16
And the head you can see for Miles and speaks the name of the person
56:19
whose death has come to claim, which is where we, you know,
56:22
Americanized from, or we Americanized the Tale of Sleepy Hollow with.
56:26
Ryan: Yep.
56:27
Kearns: the headless horseman and Iba Crane.
56:31
So those are my favorite.
56:32
Five little Irish myths.
56:35
Mythological creatures, not myth.
56:37
Jon: I like.
56:38
Ryan: The doula.
56:38
Hym is no joke.
56:40
My grandmother used to, my grandmother from Ireland used
56:42
to, she used to talk about that.
56:44
Oh my God.
56:45
She used to talk about it.
56:46
That's how they used to like go home.
56:49
'cause they'd, oh, she'd be out riding the horse, the headless
56:53
head and it's like, uh, like
56:55
Kearns: get home.
56:56
Ryan: you mean the headless horsemen?
56:57
No, it's like, okay.
56:59
All.
57:01
But that was great.
57:03
The Abdu,
57:07
that's a scary site too.
57:09
Ah, all right.
57:10
So I don't know how I'm gonna, I don't know how I can follow up with this, but
57:14
Kearns: Well yours is movies.
57:16
It's different.
57:17
Ryan: ki oh, I was gonna go with top five vampire movies.
57:19
I told John and Jada was like, don't do that.
57:22
Do something different.
57:24
Go with vampires.
57:25
I hate to love.
57:26
So I went with top five vampires in films that are villains you
57:33
should hate, but you gotta love.
57:34
And to start off, I'm going with an honorable mention.
57:37
I mentioned earlier Blade's really not a horror film, but I love Deacon Frost.
57:42
Steven Dorf does a great job.
57:44
The original character is actually much older in the comics.
57:48
He's got a great beard, long white hair, and it's still familiar.
57:52
He turns, blade's mom into a vampire while she's pregnant with Blade and, this one.
57:58
Frost has a relationship with Blade's mom, so it's kind of like I'm kinda
58:02
your stepfather in this point.
58:04
But he's hip, he's cool.
58:06
It's 98 and he does a good job.
58:08
But to get into my list, I'm starting off with number five.
58:11
We're starting off with Lestat The Vampire played by Tom Cruise, interview with the
58:15
Vampire, 1994 Lestat from the beginning.
58:19
He's manipulative.
58:21
He's just evil.
58:22
You know, he's a vampire who he just kills to kill.
58:27
He needs the nourishment, he says, but he just has fun and you wanna hate
58:30
him, but you kind of understand what process he has to go through to survive.
58:35
And he's just doing it to survive.
58:38
And yeah, he's, he's a jerk.
58:40
But you hate to love him because everything he does to Brad
58:44
Pitt, and even at the end to Tim Roth, oh, Christian Slater.
58:48
Wow.
58:48
Christian Slater, what he does to Christian Slater at the end.
58:51
Guns and Roses in the background.
58:53
I mean, led die.
58:54
How can you not, how do you.
58:58
You know, how do you not love him?
58:59
You hate to love him, which goes to my number four recent sinners.
59:04
We're going with the great Jack O'Connell.
59:06
I love Jack.
59:07
He's such a great actor.
59:08
And he plays Remic, Irish immigrant, who's a vampire, who runs havoc and he's trying
59:15
to turn everyone into vampires, join his own little clan, and it doesn't work out.
59:21
But hate to love him because he's so menacing.
59:24
He's taken out characters that you love in the film and he's got a great song.
59:29
I,
59:29
Jon: I mean, it kind of works.
59:32
Ryan: well
59:32
Jon: He's kind of successful.
59:34
Ryan: it.
59:34
Yes, but that's, it makes you hate to love him though.
59:37
'cause
59:37
Jon: Mm-hmm.
59:38
Ryan: why are you doing this?
59:39
You're like, all right.
59:40
You know what, Jack O'Connell, he's just so good.
59:43
You know, 28 years later, uh, 28 years later, the Bone Temple,
59:47
you know, REMIC, he's coming out with hits and like the characters
59:52
show Remic really shows leads to.
59:56
My number three, David Keefer, Sutherland Boys 87.
1:00:03
know those aren't, those are worms, Michael.
1:00:06
are worms.
1:00:06
I mean, I saw this film later on.
1:00:09
Jada was like, you never seen it?
1:00:10
And I was like, I never did.
1:00:11
And we sat and we watched it and his, David is just, he's so cool.
1:00:19
Like I feel like if I watched it younger, I might've been like more into that.
1:00:23
Like the hairstyle gotten my piercing sooner.
1:00:26
'cause he's just, he's a cool vampire.
1:00:28
Like, you're like, he's so nasty.
1:00:30
You know?
1:00:31
He's like, this is what you wanna be Michael, and you wanna live forever.
1:00:34
And he's got this pain because he's lost.
1:00:38
Right.
1:00:38
The whole idea of the Lost Boys, like Peter Pan and stuff,
1:00:42
he's like this lost soul.
1:00:43
And you feel for him because he just wants to live.
1:00:47
And uh, David is just, there's so much I wish I saw the character
1:00:53
sooner than I did later, which.
1:00:55
It out not for this character.
1:00:57
And that's Jerry Dandridge.
1:00:59
Chris Sarandon Fright Night 85.
1:01:02
I mean, go watch our episode on Fright Night.
1:01:04
You'll hear our love even for Roddy McDowell, but Chris
1:01:07
Sarandon, he's suave, he's classy.
1:01:11
You know, he's an evil bastard and you still watch and you still love
1:01:15
him because it's just the suaveness and he's just elegant and it's like
1:01:20
he's a bad dude, but he's so cool.
1:01:22
Which goes to my number one, my classic and that's Gary Oldman as
1:01:28
Dracula from Bram Stoker's Dracula 92.
1:01:31
The evolution he goes through and know, you watch like the Bella
1:01:35
Lako, you watch Christopher Lee.
1:01:37
you watch all those and you kind of get the idea.
1:01:40
He's a monster.
1:01:41
And Gary Oldman and from the direction of Francis Ford Coppola and actual,
1:01:45
from the book of Bram Stoker's Dracula, you see that Dracula's a human and.
1:01:52
You hate to love him because like he just wants to love, he wants to be
1:01:57
human and the movie does a great job.
1:02:00
But reading the book, I feel like Gary Oman does more with like, he
1:02:05
takes more from the book he shows more of that emotion as it's shown in
1:02:09
the book because it's all he wants.
1:02:11
He just, he wants to love and he wants just to live like a peaceful life.
1:02:15
I mean, that doesn't happen.
1:02:18
gotta die.
1:02:18
But these are the vampires I hate to love and hate 'em to love them.
1:02:25
Jon: Nice.
1:02:29
I like it.
1:02:30
I like it.
1:02:30
So
1:02:31
Ryan: you.
1:02:33
Jon: I,
1:02:33
Ryan: It's from the heart.
1:02:34
Jon: I stuck with Ireland and I went with, five Irish horror
1:02:39
movies that I really enjoy.
1:02:43
Yeah.
1:02:44
So my number five is a movie called Boy Eats Girl.
1:02:50
so the night he declares his love for his girlfriend and they miss connections
1:02:55
on a date, the boy goes home where his mother accidentally hangs him.
1:03:01
It's a long story.
1:03:02
Watch the movie.
1:03:03
It'll make some sense.
1:03:04
Fortunately, mom can resurrect him.
1:03:07
Kearns: Nice.
1:03:08
Jon: Unfortunately, mom can only resurrect him as a zombie, and he comes
1:03:13
back hungry and chomps on a classmate and starts a whole zombie epidemic.
1:03:21
Ryan: Okay.
1:03:22
Jon: we have a strangely notable casting in this one, in that, I
1:03:27
don't even know who remembers her.
1:03:29
She was like a, like a five second pop star, Samantha Mumba,
1:03:34
Ryan: Oh.
1:03:35
Jon: like nine, between nine, nine and 2001.
1:03:37
She had one song that was kind of big and then she wound up in
1:03:42
this movie a few years later.
1:03:43
Ryan: what's
1:03:43
Jon: I
1:03:44
Ryan: song,
1:03:45
Jon: can't remember.
1:03:45
I can't even remember the song.
1:03:47
It was, it was,
1:03:49
Kearns: oh, I see her.
1:03:50
I've seen her.
1:03:50
I know who this is.
1:03:51
Uh, let's see.
1:03:53
Gotta tell you.
1:03:54
Was the name of the song in 2000,
1:03:57
Jon: yeah,
1:03:59
Ryan: it probably was blasting everywhere
1:04:00
Kearns: reached the top five in Ireland.
1:04:03
Jon: she had a minute.
1:04:04
She had a minute.
1:04:07
But she was, she didn't break through here like some other people.
1:04:12
but we'll go to number four now.
1:04:14
when you bring mushrooms into a movie, you get an interesting movie.
1:04:17
And this, one does, it's called Shrooms.
1:04:20
Um,
1:04:21
Ryan: I've heard of this film.
1:04:22
Jon: so a group of friends run afoul of a killer while hunting for
1:04:26
psilocybin mushrooms, making for one hell of a trip in this comedic car.
1:04:31
It's a fun ride.
1:04:32
It's,
1:04:32
Kearns: it.
1:04:33
Yeah.
1:04:35
Jon: yep.
1:04:37
Uh, number three, we're going to go a little more serious.
1:04:40
it's a movie called Let Us Pray and Not Pray, but PREY.
1:04:48
so it's Rachel's first night at a rundown police station
1:04:51
that is holding a strange man.
1:04:53
the strange man has the ability to take over minds and souls, and he does.
1:04:59
And she's in for a long night.
1:05:03
Ryan: Yeah, I've heard of this film.
1:05:06
Jon: Mm-hmm.
1:05:07
It's a good one.
1:05:08
It's, yeah,
1:05:08
Ryan: very
1:05:09
Jon: it's, it is, it is.
1:05:12
my number two is the most recent on this list.
1:05:15
I actually watched this, about this time last year.
1:05:17
It's a movie called Oddity.
1:05:21
No.
1:05:22
Uh, okay.
1:05:23
Um.
1:05:24
So after her sister's murder, a psychic travels to the husband's country home
1:05:30
where he now lives with a new woman.
1:05:32
She only wants to determine what actually happened to her sister,
1:05:36
but finds a whole lot more.
1:05:39
This has a lot of really good creepy atmosphere to it.
1:05:42
there's some genuine scares there.
1:05:46
It's quite, quite a movie.
1:05:49
Ryan: I just saw the poster.
1:05:50
I know what you're talking about too.
1:05:54
Jon: Mm-hmm.
1:05:55
And my number one, we're gonna stay in the vein of, yeah.
1:06:00
We're gonna stay in the vein of boys from county.
1:06:02
Hell, and it's a movie called Grabbers,
1:06:07
A small Irish.
1:06:08
Kearns: Who's
1:06:08
Jon: Oh a, a small Irish town is under siege from long tentacle,
1:06:14
alien blood suckers, and the only way to survive is to get drunk.
1:06:21
Kearns: I mean, fair.
1:06:23
Ryan: I am curious.
1:06:24
Jon: Yeah, it's, I love this one.
1:06:27
Grabbers is so much fun
1:06:31
Ryan: I'm like.
1:06:31
Jon: and so much fun.
1:06:33
Kearns: Have, have you seen all these movies?
1:06:35
Oh my God, John.
1:06:36
Maybe it's 'cause I've watched like the Green Mile 47 times and instead of
1:06:40
watching new movies, seen everything.
1:06:45
It's wild.
1:06:46
That's why he's
1:06:47
Jon: I've seen a lot of stuff.
1:06:48
Ryan: Yes.
1:06:51
Kearns: You have, sir. All right, well
1:06:54
Jon: Yeah, I've seen a lot.
1:06:56
Ryan: was good.
1:06:56
Kearns: Oddities is going to get watched by Mo.
1:06:59
Maybe we'll have it on the list.
1:07:01
Ryan: We should, should.
1:07:03
Kearns: I
1:07:03
Ryan: That creature looks creepy.
1:07:04
Kearns: John does this, like
1:07:05
Jon: I
1:07:05
Kearns: John does this for the love of the game.
1:07:07
He wants us to watch new movies.
1:07:11
Jon: mm-hmm.
1:07:12
I think I said it in our end of the year episode.
1:07:15
That's probably my biggest joy in all this is exposing you guys
1:07:19
to some of these movies that you wouldn't have seen on your own
1:07:25
Ryan: Alligator.
1:07:26
Jon: Lake Boys from County Hell
1:07:28
Kearns: home.
1:07:28
Jon: Alligator.
1:07:29
Kearns: battery.
1:07:30
I would've never watched these.
1:07:32
Oh, I just
1:07:32
Jon: Mm-hmm.
1:07:33
Kearns: Alligator when I was a
1:07:34
Ryan: The battery was good.
1:07:35
Kearns: battery was a
1:07:36
Ryan: Yeah.
1:07:37
Kearns: Dude, some of this stuff that John's already
1:07:39
Jon: Mm-hmm.
1:07:40
Kearns: is wild.
1:07:40
I hope it's same for the listeners out there, All right guys, it is time
1:07:44
to wrap this up 'cause I'm about to turn it to a pumpkin, so thank you.
1:07:49
That was county hell
1:07:52
Ryan: Have a good one
1:07:54
Kearns: later.
