  Speaker 3: Like I said so for anybody listening, this is not

  Speaker 3: typically how we do director interviews, but I was not
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: going to say no to Ed bringing along some friends
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: because this movie is awesome and I wanted to get
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: more exposure because, trust me, everyone in my circles has
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: heard of this movie.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: They're like, oh, yeah, I've seen the poster.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Haven't seen it, And I'm like, well, you know, I
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: can't be that mad. I just watched it for the
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: first time this year. But it seems that it's very
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: well known. But no one in my circles has seen
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: this movie, and that cracks.
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: I believe that that sounds yeah.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: And it's it's readily available on Shutter like Shutters are
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: pretty big streaming service for us horror geeks. So yeah,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna recommend.
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: To be I believe. I think it's on to b
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: as well, okay, and to b S free.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Fine, so you have no excuse, you have no excuse exactly. Yeah.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: So for for for everyone listening, we are going to
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: you know, we'll be talking about spoilers, so and that's
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: always in the text description of the podcast, but I
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: wanted to specifically state it here. So if you haven't
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: seen it, south what you're doing. Go to Shutter, go
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: to we watch it, and then come back if you've
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: listened to the show for you know since the beginning
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: of the year. I mean, you know, Ed has been
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: on twice this year, I believe or no, we had
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: you one for Blair Wage and then we had you
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: on back for Exist this year. So we know we
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: know about Ed and his background, but I love to
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: talk about Alejandro and Mike here. So what is your
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: We'll start with Mike. What is kind of your background
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: in horror? Like where did it all begin for you?
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: What was the first movie? Like what impact did it have?
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: As well?
• 3:12
  Speaker 7: Well? I often wonder if this is a thing of
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: nature versus nurture of like, you know, if it's something
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: that you're exposed to, if you're just kind of born
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: with it. So I would argue that some of us
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: are just kind of born with it, because no one
• 3:23
  Speaker 7: else in my family has the attraction to darkness that
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: that just I from as early as I can remember,
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: I just love vampires.
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: I just love were wolves. I just love monsters in general.
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: So but I would say that it was I think
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: horror movie scared me at first, and I was exposed
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: to a lot of stuff that I probably shouldn't have,
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: like carry in the Hills of Eyes, when I was
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: like three, And I think, yeah, they say this all
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: the time, but one of my first memories is the
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: you know, the carry the canary being like, you know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: squeezed and drank is like literally one of my first memories.
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: So I think, I think that stuff I think probably.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: Can happened in the movie.
• 4:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah, totally, yeah, But but I think it was things
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: like The Thing, uh and American Werewolf in London, uh,
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: and the and the Howling that very quickly became my
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: favorite films growing up. And I was like eight about eight,
• 4:18
  Speaker 7: you know, maybe yeah, about eight or nine when I
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: saw that stuff, and I just loved creatures and wanted
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: to become a creature creator. And uh then by high school,
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: realized that that was a very expensive endeavor, so I
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: chose filmmaking, which is also an expensive endeavor.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: Slightly.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's very cheap. Yeah, it's a cheap endeavor. Man's
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: so cheap. All right.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Question then, since you mentioned two iconic werewolf movies, Uh
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: do which one do you prefer? The Howling or American
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Werewolf in London.
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: That's that's you know, which which child? Which is your
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: favorite kid?
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: So? Also also no, no, you're putting him in a
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: bad position because Keelsil knows both exactly.
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like you don't don't make him, don't make
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: him choose.
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: All right, fine, U they're both excellent.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm like they're both pretty equal to me because
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I enjoy the story of the Howling more. But I
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: mean that transformation in American Worrelf in London is literally iconic.
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: So it's a very funny film, very funny movie.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, all right, And what about you? Where did
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: it all begin for you in your life?
• 5:18
  Speaker 8: Uh?
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Shit?
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was born in Argentina.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: I think I think my love for horror actually started
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: when my one of my uncles brought home Evil.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Then.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: I think I was about eight years old, which is
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: exactly the age to watch that movie, and it changed
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: my life. After that, I was like trying to get
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: my hands on every horror But by the way, he
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: also brought home a deep throat. Yeah, it was a
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: very funny uncle. That's actually uncles in the eighties, you
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: know that happened, right, Yeah, and funny enough. I only
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: remember watching Evil.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Dead weird.
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: Blocked out memory, Yeah.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: Exactly, exactly. Come here, my nephew, Come here, my nephew,
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: sit on my lap.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Let's let me let me say my favorite movie.
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: I remember getting really drowsy and then I woke up.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my god.
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: This is this going great already. But yeah, so it
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: was Evil Dead, Evil Dead, because you know it was
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: It was the one that I could watch without getting
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: drowsy and then uh, without any paints afterwards, Jesus. And
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: then I had to. I had to. I started watching
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: all the horror movies I could. I remember, like all
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: of my earliest memories are from movies that I forgot
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: their titles, and then as I grew older, I had
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: to track down. One of them was The Fieldless Vampire
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: Killers by Roman Polanski, which which is a horror comedy,
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: but back then for a young kid, was just a
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: horror movie, like I like freaking out those vampires. I
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: remember like flashes of Lucia Fuol cheese and zombie, you know,
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: the scene with the eye the bridge at the end,
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: that kind of stuff, and pretty much the same. I
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: tried to watch every horror movie that I could. I
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: never thought about making horror movies because you know, growing
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: up in Cuba and no one did genre until honestly,
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: until I had the idea for one of the data
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: and I was like, Okay, let's say make it one
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: of these and yeah, it's like I haven't looked back.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: And yeah, and here we are. Yeah.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: I tried to watch as many things from you guys
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: as that were readily available, so I did see. Uh,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: I did see. So One of the Dead was not
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: available streaming. I think I was on Amazon for a rental.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: So I went to the next thing I saw, which
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: was the e segment from ABC's of Death two that
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: you did, and then the Thing in the Woods from
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Nightmare Cinema, and then Puka Lives has been on my list,
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: I mean literally ever since it came out, because I
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: really loved the first one. Let me tell you how,
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: I was not expecting the tonal shift from a straight
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: up psychological horror movie to one of the just like
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: most fun horror comedies I've seen in quite some time.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: That was a lot of fun because I because I
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: was like, a sequel to Puka seems weird. How are
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: they gonna do that? I don't I don't know how
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: they can continue the story. And I was like, oh,
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: that's a fun way to do it, for sure, But
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: you know, you know.
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: The funny thing is that both if you think about it, Hookah,
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: I mean ABC's of the first one also had Natural
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: big Alondo and and Poka. Obviously it's a sequel to Nacho's.
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: Pooka.
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: So one of the things. And I'm friends with Natural,
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: So one of the things I did when I got
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: Pooka was asked, Natural, are you cool with this? And
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: and then I proceeded to sit on his legacy. So
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: I'm waiting. I'm waiting to see if I have a
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: chance of making of making colossal to colossal alert or.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, And I'm.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: Trying to find because I do have a natural mask around.
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: No way, a mask, not a Poka mask. I do
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: have a Pooka mask, but I had.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: I had a natural mask. I found they were selling
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: Nacho masks on Amazon for five bucks for some reason
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: that I will never understand. But you know, I see
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: a Nati and I had to buy it. So and
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: I actually took it to said when I was directing two,
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: there was one night where I was directing I.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Love it. That's creepy. That's creepy.
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: The rest of the segment is going to be him
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: looking for the for the Nacho masks because all of
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: yeah it now now it's been I know because I I,
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: you know, I have the slightest fucking idea what he's
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: talking about.
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: So I have, like, what the hell is the nacho mask?
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: So well, it's a mask, Okay, I'll find it, uh
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: and then Mike I did.
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: So it's funny. One of my buddies recommended the Convent
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: from two thousand this year to me, so I picked
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: up these synaps release that they did of it.
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: Excellent.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you how that shot up to one
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: of my favorite movies, like one of my favorite b
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: movies about like demons. It is so much fun, so wacky.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: I loved the Friday the thirty first segment in Tales
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: of Halloween, Uh, totally flipping the script on slasher movies
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: with the UFO invasion.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: That was amazing.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: And I was, I'm like halfway through big ass spiders
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: and then I had to go run an errand so
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: I didn't get to finish that one. But it's the
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: comedy is there in all of your films, just like Alejandro,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: like your your comedy hits and everything. And I love
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: the consistency between UH doing your own film and doing
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: a segment like you can really tell like you made
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: those because there's a very specific tone that they all have.
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: The reason we all get along, so we do like
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: the silly shit.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and that's a perfect segue into Satanic hispanics.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: And I'm sure this question has been asked, you know.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: I listened to a podcast where it has been answered.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: But for anyone listening that has that does not know,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: how did this you know, how did this movie kind
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: of come to be with the one person approached everybody
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: else or you kind of tell me the process of
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: getting this movie going.
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so, oh my god, Jesus fucking Christ, No, get.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: In here with director or natural vi Alondo.
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: I feel like like this is the south Park segment.
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: I feel like you're gonna have fucking sex with you know,
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: I don't know you found that out.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and then you also have like a full size
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: but that was like eighty bucks. I don't need a
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: full size natural a car.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: What is it called like they stand like stand yeah.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah exactly, Yeah, I don't need I don't need a
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: full now. But you know, the mask was five ninety
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: nine and I thought it was a good investment.
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, no, that is so random they have anybody else.
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: I don't know, Like, I don't know why this was there,
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: and I don't know. I don't know why I don't
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: have like an ed mask.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Or yeah, yeah you should, you should mask.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I like that.
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: There's a like an obscure Latino directors. I like that
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: there's a whole chain of masks.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's the whole section of that coming soon.
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: I wear the natural mask when I go side in
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: case I get stole my eyes, I can be like
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: I'm spongish.
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I want a Pocko plaza really badly. Anyway. Uh So,
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: uh all right, we're going back.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Hey, well, while Mike does this, I'm gonna go perial quick.
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: All right, all right, we'll count down. Why did you
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: hear the camera? Jesus Christ?
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: All right, he has a bucket, gets a bucket fight
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: under the.
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: Uh. Uh so how came about? Uh So?
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: I worked I had worked with pictures perfect, so I
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: was hoping for I worked with Epic Pictures on Tales
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: of Halloween, which was a lot of fun to kind
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: of just collaborate with your friends and you know, tell
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: different stories and and have you a certain amount of
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: control over it, which which is kind of nice. So
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: they had asked, you know, if I'd be interested in
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: doing another ology, and uh, you know, really kind of
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: dependent on what it was, because I feel there's so
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: many at this point, and there's a lot of really
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: good ones, and so what could we do to make
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: it stand out? And one day I was talking with
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: Alejandro and he said, he doesn't remember this, but but
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: he said, uh, when the hell are we gonna make
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: Satanic Hispanics the a Latino horror anthology? Because we used
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: to refer to ourselves when we would do these like
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: like low budget music videos for friend Norman Cabrera, it
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: was all often all Latino crew, and so we'd refer
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: to ourselves as the Satanic Hispanics.
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: And when when Alejandro said that, it just made absolute
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: perfect sense. It was just like, yeah, when are we
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: going to make Satanic as Panics the all Latino horror anthology.
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: So the first person we asked was was, uh, you
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: know our fellow or well, Alejandro's fellow.
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: Cuban ed uh, and he was kind enough to jump
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: on board.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: And then we asked us kind I didn't ask. I said,
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: we're making an ontology with Michael Satanic panics and.
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: You are, Yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: I don't ask that kind of And by the way,
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: I want to point out to our listeners that he
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: came back very quickly from the restaurant. And I don't
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: think he was his friends.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: No, of course not.
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: Uh, I just finished Yep.
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: The third one was was Gigi and then Alejandro asked
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: we were big fans of the movie Terrified, and uh, Alejandro.
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: Bullied Demian Rugna into into doing it.
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: He had some some dir Yeah, well, you know, I'm
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: actually glad he's not here because he's traumatized me enough
• 15:32
  Speaker 8: with his movies that like, I don't know if I
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: can face them just yet.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: I think I need some some more time.
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: Actually actually had a I was I had a writing
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: section second session with him after this, so I'm talking
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: to him today and I was like, oh, why didn't
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: I ask them and to be here too. But you know,
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: he's he's eemlish sucks. So it's fine that he's.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's a he's a real filmmakers.
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, he's a he's he's a serious guy. He's deep. No,
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: he's not, but you.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: Said meet him because it's like the nicest dude that
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: you'll ever like.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: But you know, do you know what? You know? What's
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: funny like? And I don't know if this is a
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: horror director or guy, or maybe this is Argentinians, but
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: like working with him the other day, I was like,
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: I was wondering. We were like doing video and I
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: was wondering, how how does this work on a chainsaw?
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: And he was like, oh, let me show you. And
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: he turns around and pulls out a chainsaw. What the
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: fuck do you have a chainsaw lying next.
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: To you and you have an answer? I'm actually curious
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: about the answer.
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: He has a He has a house in the countryside,
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: So I guess, when you're in the Argentinan countryside, do
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: you go around with a chainsaw? I don't know. Yeah,
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: you do, you have a chainsaw.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: I do have a chain but not not next to
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: me here.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: I have it upstairs in my tour room. I could
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: bring it if you want to see it. I have
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: two different chainsaws. I might feel more comfortable if we
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: had a chainsaw.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I'll afterwards.
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: I have a hammer of Danza bar but not a chainsaw.
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: Im I don't know, Like it's better that you don't
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: have a change, so Mike.
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, probably probably have a change upstairs, but it's fake.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: That's the same.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: But yeah, the man is the nicest dude and he's
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: a And it was funny because I really like bullied
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: him into making the movie because he was like, he
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: was like, oh, I have another thing and I need
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: to shoot it and and I don't even have the time.
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: And I would have like these like forty minute sessions
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: with him like a therapist, sitting in my car, being like, yes,
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: you can't do it. I'm not I'm not arguing this.
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: You can't do it. And he was like, well, but
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: I need to finish the movie and then like take
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: a month off and then shoot this And like, why
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: are you going to take the month off? You already
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: have the crew, finish the movie and shoot form five
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: more days and shoot these And that's what he did.
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: And the movie was Whenever lurks. So he shot our
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: segment and like back to back with whatever lurks.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah that's the move.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, Terrified is where it started because there's one
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: jump scare and that one that haunts me to this day.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: And then he traumatized He traumatized me more with When
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Evil Lurks and the dog scene, because you're like, you're like,
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: it's I feel like it's gonna happen, Like now, it's
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: not going to happen, and then it does, and I
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: was like, yeah, I'm never going to recover from that.
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: And by the way, by the way, he keeps the well,
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: I mean, we all keep the props. But sometimes I'm
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: working with him, we're writing and in the background it's
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: the fat guy, the bloated guy from Whenever Lurks, sitting
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: on a couch and he also and he also and
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: he also had the kid from Terrified, and he would
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: leave it sitting on the dining room when he left home.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: He would leave home. So if someone was going to
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: rob his house, think twice.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, that's fair.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's the best home defense right there,
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: if we're being honest.
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: I'm jealous of his his dead kid collection. You know,
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: he's got a few dead kids, and I'm like, that's cool.
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: So anyway, yeah, but but.
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: He can probably send you one.
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: Right, I don't know, that'd be amazing. Oh my god.
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gonna be great to see you go to
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: the airport and say, hey, I'm here to peak.
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah. No, I love that.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: So so yeah.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: Going into this one knowing who did the segments and
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: starting with His, I was like, oh God, here we go.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: I'm going to be traumatized all over again. And it
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: starts off so unassuming and I was like, Okay, maybe
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: this won't be Oh now there it is, yes, and
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: it's just like, God damn it. Every time he, you know,
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: I watch something of his, I'm just I'm so nervous
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: for everything. But something that I feel is important about
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: the anthology is, of course the wrap around segment is
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: it is the anchor to the film. So I'm wondering,
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: did you go through many phases like in development where
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: they're different ideas for the wrap around or how did
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: we end up with the one we got, because I
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: think it's a very unique way to kind of tell
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: the stories the way they did.
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: Oh thank you.
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: We needed to wrap around basically, you know, we had
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: the idea of like kind of doing these kind of
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: lore of Latin America, and I just always had you know,
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: you have different ideas that you don't know what they're
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: going to be, if they're going to be screenplays, if
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: they're going to be you know, whatever, an idea you
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: never do anything with. And I had this idea about
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: this immortal guy that could travel the world providing he
• 20:31
  Speaker 7: was he had to keep moving and the Angel of
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: Death was was always after him. So I was like, okay,
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: that's pretty cool. And you know, I love the Terminator
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: and love the police thing, and so I was like,
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: all right, so what if you know, you kind of
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: have to doing the wrap around, you have to kind
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: of like bite the bullet, and you're not doing the
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: fun one. But hopefully if you do your stuff right
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: at the end, you could just go off and do
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: whatever you want. So that was kind of my the
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: carrot of the thing of like, look, as long as
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: as long as you can make it engaging enough and
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: and carry it through, you know, and the performances are
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: there and everything, at the end, we can kind of
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: go nuts, and that's that'll be my reward for making
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: the film. So that's that's what we did, you know,
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: And I'll hunter like the the idea of the Traveler
• 21:17
  Speaker 7: and whatnot, and so kind of put our heads together
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: and then it was born.
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: So yeah, the moment the moment he mentioned the Traveler,
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: I was like, oh, that's awesome that that has to
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: be the.
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: The upper round.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a movie. Yeah, and go ahead and go ahead, man, no,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: go ahead.
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: And I mean, you know, we've all seen uh, you
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: know a lot of anthologies and the wrap around, you know,
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: unfortunate and it's the hardest thing to do, you know
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying, because people are like, I'll get to
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: the next film, and sometimes they're like, oh, I don't
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: want to sit through this, you.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Know, And I felt, yeah, I feel yeah, and I.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: Felt Mike's was so strong. I mean, it's just it's
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: probably I mean, you know, I don't know, uh, it's
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: one of the strongest I've ever seen, probably the best,
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: you know, wrap around. It's like, you know, yeah, it's
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: like uh, you know, it's like story time. It's a
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: perfect like you know, for like here's this story and
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: here's the next story, and then it ends up it
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: ends with a fucking crazy ass you know, violence and gunplay,
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: and you know, it's just so much fun, you know.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: So back in the earth. Back in the Earth, I wasn't.
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: Telling I was telling him sorry, but quickly I was
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: telling him all the time. I was telling him, you
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: cannot fuck this up.
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: It's true, like because if it because if it doesn't work,
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: it's you know, the other ones are you know, like
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: I feel I'd let everybody down. And so so it
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: felt like very important, like we had to get this
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: right because if that they're like could carry then then
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: I felt would be a good thing for everybody else.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: So because everyone came through, yeah everyone.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: So back in the early days of VHS they had
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: really you know, stronger segments.
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: The one that sticks out to me the most is
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: VHS two because the it does kind of what yours does?
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: You know, it didn't around and then what's happening to
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: the characters watching the films comes into play at the end.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: But they have really lost their touch in that franchise
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: with doing a wrap around segment. The wrap around now
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: is just another segment that's really unrelated to everything else.
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: So that is to the one that has that stupid
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: segment with the zombie running.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: With oh yeah, the weird the thing in the woods
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: with the terrible one.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: For anybody who doesn't know, Eduardo directed the short A
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Ride in the Park VHS two.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Just in case do you not.
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: Get in at all?
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: Fairness, I think HS segments have actually kind of improved
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: because they have bigger budgets now. But yes, I think
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: the wraparounds have been forgotten about, you know, so God,
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: But it was, you know something, why we wanted to
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: focus on it because we felt a lot of films
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: do kind of forget about that and felt it was
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: kind of an important thing.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: So yeah, like I said, it's the it's the anchor
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: of the film. And then this one, I love that.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: The ending is just so bonkers. But how how did
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: we get uh is Efren Ramirez? You know, everyone knows
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: him as Pedro from from Napoleon Dynamite. How did we
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: get him involved with this one? Because I saw that,
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: I was like, I'm pretty sure that's Pedro, but right, yeah,
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: and then I got like an actual shot of his face.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh it is So how did he?
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: How did he get involved with this one?
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: Well, there's a super long story that I won't tell
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: about how I tried to stock John like Guizamo at
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: a convention and paid and paid like three hundred bucks
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: so I could pitch him while while he signed my
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: photograph and I'm sure and then I gave him the script,
• 24:31
  Speaker 7: which I'm sure ended up in the Trash shortly thereafter,
• 24:35
  Speaker 7: and after that was a complete failure. I was like, fuck,
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: we need somebody to be the Traveler. So I asked
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: my good friend Greg Rundberg, who was the star of
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: Big A Spider and you know, was the probably the
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: first person I cast as the cop in this, and
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: I just and he just knows everybody, and so I said, hey, man,
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: you're my casting director, So who do you know that
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: would be good for this or whatever?
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: And he's like, oh my god, I gotta send it
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: dif from Ramira.
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: So so we sent it to him and I got
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: I got a message back from the Traveler. Uh and
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: there there was music, and there was a mood and
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: he was in the character and he was speaking no
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: wal and and you know, he was really going going
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: full full on with it. And I just like people
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: that are committed, you know that that gets me excited,
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: like this person actually wants to do it. So uh So,
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: even though you know, he was best known for Pedro,
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: you know, he seemed very committed to it.
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: So I was just like, Okay, yeah, you got it.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: So, I mean I haven't really the things I've seen
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: him and typically are comedies. Uh And so to see
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: him in a more dramatic role, and he crushed it.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: I thought he did rush. Yeah, yeah, he's really good.
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: He has fantastic comedic timing, so.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, between him and then you know, the two
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: constantiating him, I didn't expect the wrap around.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Honestly.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: I didn't really expect there to be so much comedy
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: in it, even though I know there's always comedy in
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: most of you guys's movies, but I just didn't expect
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: it to be that funny. It was funny from beginning
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: to end, outside of you know, the first short film,
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: because that one horrified me, but they all had little
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: bits of comedy, and then Gigi's as well, was a
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: bit more serious. But the how you place the segments
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: too is another huge thing for anthologies. And you start
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: off with one that is horrifying, and once you set
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: that tone, you're like, Okay, how much darker are we
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: going to get from here? But then you come in
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: with El van Piro the second short, and you're like, oh,
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: this is hilarious. Okay, so like that tonal shift, I
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: was like, oh now I'm happy again. This is great,
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: everything's fine. And then you get to Gigi's and it's
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: a little bit more serious and a little bit more
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: folk glory. So the placing the segments is very important.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: Was that a team effort and trying to figure out
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: how they should all go together. I'm assuming everyone kind
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: of worked together on that to be like which one
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: should go?
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: Where you want to take that one all or yeah.
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: I mean we fucked up as well, but but if
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: that's what we love, I don't know, if you.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Have nothing, yeah, yeah, no. Originally the Genius was supposed
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: to go after the.
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so so yeah, originally it was I
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: think the idea was always to start with the me
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: End and finished with me but Gig, like the way
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: we saw it listen, like we had the screenplace. It's
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: sort of sort of the screen right because the me
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: end didn't write his until like the very end, and
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: he sent us like one paragraph and we were like, okay,
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: So we sort of had an idea and we wanted
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: to go like originally we wanted to go from less
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: supernatural to more so it was gonna be the me End,
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: Gigi and me. But then when we saw the movie,
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: we were like, oh, I mean it starts very serious,
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: like the first half of the movie is very serious
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: and in Spanish, and the second half of the movie
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: is all comedy and in English and stupid and stupid. Yeah, so,
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: because you know, it has the two Cubans and and
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: and we we decided to switch because, as as everyone
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: has probably learned and you will learn after today, never
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: have the two Cubans together. So yeah, so so we
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: also first I think first Mike and I saw it,
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: but then we we were like, okay, I think we
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: have to do this, but let's run it by the others.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: We sent the movie to the others and everyone was like, yeah,
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: there's a structural problem there. So we switched those, which
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: was very easy for Mike to do because obviously when
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: you plan and wrap around there.
• 28:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we it was a little challenge, but overall, I
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: think that was okay, it was I think the thing
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: that was surprising the US is how we didn't notice
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: at a script form that the first half of the
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: movie was in Spanish in the second half.
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: Well, because we didn't have well yeah, but we didn't
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: have the But.
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: It is amazing that it didn't cross our mind until
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: we watched them, like, oh.
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: Well, I told you what, because because all of us
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: speaks Spanish too, And it wasn't until we watch it
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: with English speakers, right, because because that screening we were
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: with the with the people, that's when we realized, oh,
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: first half of the movies in one language, and say.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Okay, what was the decision to put you know, because
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: like you said, two are in Spanish, who are not?
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: What was the decision for using Spanish versus English?
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean I'd say that because Teman is in
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: Argentina and it just kind of came out to where
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: you were shooting, you know, so nine are in la
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: Ads in Maryland, you know, so it's just the it's
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: a Spanish I'm sorry to the English speaking crew. Actors
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: are easy to come by in Argentina, like good luck,
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: you know, trying to make it in English. And then
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: and then I thought, like Gigi, do yours in English?
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: But then but she shot in Mexico and had the
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: same issue of like there's no fucking American actors here,
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: you know, like in English. And then for some reason
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: we thought and no, now I kind of regret it.
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: We're like, can you just have a little bit of
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: English just so you know, And so we have like
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: one moment in English but now as they're watching it,
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: like that's unnecessary.
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: But uh, oh well.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: I mean I mean when when when you I mean,
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: the athought is that I've been involved with there isn't.
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, you you want to give the
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: filmmakers like freedom, so it's kind of like, hey, everybody
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: come up with ideas and then you sort of come
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: up with a plan and then you just let the
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: movies happen and then you kind of work it out
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: in the end. Like even the order, I mean, it
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: was everything that I've done, they've always switched the orders
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: around and and that's.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Kind of fun. But I know, with Mike, since his
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: stuff was so.
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: Like, you know, targeted, I was really amazed that the
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: job he did with like just you know, it just
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: he seamlessly swapped the things without any problems.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: So I really love that about it.
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: So yeah, but but it's I think, I mean, that's
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: kind of like the nervousness and like kind of the
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: magic of anthologies is that you don't really know exactly
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: what the hell you're going to get, and sometimes it's
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: a good surprise and sometimes the bad you know.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: So well, yeah, funny enough, I had the last director
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: I had on was Ryan Spindel, who did the Mortuary Collection,
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: which is another anthology.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Oh no, oh, we've got some beef.
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: What happened spind Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: Guy, Yeah.
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: What a piece of what a piece of sheet? You
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: know what he does, He directs his own antology all
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: the segments because he doesn't want any other directors to
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: take the fall day and he doesn't want anyone else
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: to shine.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Only he.
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: Didn't have any other latinos in his so yeah, he
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: didn't have he.
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: Didn't have any any latinos. You can see as you
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: can see his Pindla and I have sort of like
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: Kendrick Drake a thing going on where he's Drake Okay,
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: But I love spin I love him and by the way,
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: Mortuary Collection it's like a fantastic It's one of my favors.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: I asked him. I was like, why do you hate yourself?
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: Like why did you do all of this stuff by yourself?
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: I mean there had to have been so much work.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: And he explained how how it happened, and he basically
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: worked backwards from each short and then found a way
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: to weave it all together. And I was like, oh
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: my god, it's so much happened in that movie.
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's not a he's not a brilliant guy exactly.
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: He's very nice. Not brilliant, but he's very nice.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: Oh goodness.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: So the first chapter that let me see of everyone
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: present is Ed's Elvan Piro and it's chapter three technically.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: Now I got some very heavy like what we do
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: in the Shadows kind of vibe from that, just because
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: with how funny it was. My wife even was like,
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: you know what my head canon is that this Elvmpiro
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: and what we do in the Shadows same universe.
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: And I was like I could see yeah, like so yeah, absolutely, yeah, yeah.
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: I mean I love that show and you know I
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: love that movie. And you know, it was something that
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: Pete Barnstrom, the writer, sent to me. You know, I
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: was looking for, you know, I got what am I
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: going to do it? I was I was originally going
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: to do something serious for this anthology, and then this
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: idea came up and I.
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: Was like, oh my god, it was your serious idea.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't. I was like, I can't even
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: remember what it was.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: It was like a kernel of an idea, like just
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: something I was going to do, like a period thing
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: or something, but I don't, you know, it never developed,
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: and I'm lazy as shit. So this script came by,
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: you know, this kind of treatment came my way, and
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh my god, this perfect.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: And then uh and also it.
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: Was just because I knew exactly who who I could
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: get to get to play at Vampedo. You know, Hemki
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: Madda and I are good friends from Queen the South
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: and we're always trying to look for something to do together.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: And I was, you know, I had directed his wife
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: in a music video like a year before, year and
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: a half before, and I just caught him up. He
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: kind of owed me a favor and he's like, yeah, man,
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: you know, let's do it. And it was it was cool.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: I mean he you know, for somebody to him to
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: come and actually they had to come twice, him and
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: Vanessa had to come twice. But you know, it was
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: just he was just perfect and I didn't It was
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: like one of these things where you don't even have
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: to like direct them, You're just kind of like, hey,
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: you know, you know, you know who this guy is.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: And uh, he added so much to it.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: And he was such a good sport too, because it
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: was cold we were we shot out here in Maryland.
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: It was cold, and he had to have there was
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: you know, he gets he gets egged. Yeah, and we're like,
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: you know, we're doing like low budget, you know, really
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: low budget films, and so the art the wardrobe department
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: wasn't like super experienced, so they actually kind of kept
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: the egg thing so that the egg shirt started stinking.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, it's like, yeah, there wasn't like
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: an idea, maybe you should paint the egg on.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: It was just like, hey, let's just keep the egg shirt.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: So the egg shirt was just just stank the whole time.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: But he was I mean, he was such a.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: Good sport and appreciated and you know, just such a
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: cool performance and it was great to have him, you know,
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: come down, come all the.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Way to Maryland to do this. So it was fun.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I recognized him immediately. I was like, oh my god,
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: that's Ignacio from from Weeds. That's where That's where I
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: immediately recognized him from. And this is why I don't
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: trust Google sometimes, because it was really hard to find out.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Obviously they're in the credits, but I was doing it
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: while I was watching the movie, and Google had it
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: all wrong who.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: Did what segment?
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: And it said that, wow, yeah, it's a Alejandro had
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: done elvan Piro, and I was like, okay, but then
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: when I found out it was Ed, I was like, oh.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: I was like, I don't know, I don't I'm trying
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: to think.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: Most of your movies are pretty serious. You have you know,
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: Exists does have some comedy, but this was so goddamn funny.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: It was like, it's like an entire different side that
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: I haven't seen, because even you know, I've seen most
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: of your movies are all pretty serious in tone, so
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: it was nice to see this just wacky, fun vampire story.
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it was yeah, I mean, I mean
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: I really kind of relate more to like, you know,
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: Mike and Alejandro's you know, body of work than than
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: my own really, because I I mean like Evil Dead
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: two kind of changed my life, you know, as far
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: as like.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Holy because I was like, unlike these two guys, I
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: was not.
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: So also also Deep Throat.
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I definitely remember Deep Throat, but not not the
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: movie though, not the the I but I was not
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: really a big horror fan because I was just kind
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: of scared, and Evil Dead two was like, hey, you know,
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: it's it can be fun and and you know, and
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: and fucking you know, comedic and action filled, you know.
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: So so I always felt that that's kind of like
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: if you see my like my movies in film school,
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: they were mostly you know, not horror, but mostly comedies,
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: action comedies.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: You know, That's what I really loved. So it was
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: really cool to be able to like just do.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: A straight out you know, comedy and you know, it
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: was just you know, again, it was very unlike you know,
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: what people have seen from me, but it's it's more
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: my wheelhouse really than anything else, honestly.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: Well and even even the story too, it was great.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: It's a vampire out on Halloween night and you know,
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: he was like, I just want this is the one
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: time a year I can enjoy myself in public. But
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: the hilarious twist on it is he gets his call
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: from his uh I guess his wife or though yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: She's like it's daylight savings time. You have like fifteen
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: minutes to get home. And I'm like, oh, this is
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: so this is so fucking hilarious. And the second I said,
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: why doesn't he just fly? I looked at I was like,
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: he can turn into a bat right he's They literally said,
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: she's like, why can't you fly? It's like it's been
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: a while I forgot how.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: To do it.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: And I was like, oh, they answered my question immediately.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: I was like okay, and him running down the road
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: trying to be like turning into a bat, I was
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: just I was cackling laughing. It was so funny. And
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: even even the whole scene where all the body parts
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: are everywhere and the cops come back there and they
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: don't realize it's real until he tastes the blood and
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: then he's going back and forth trying to shut them
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: down with his you know what, I'm enthralling.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: You or whatever he was saying, yea, yeah, control. It
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: is so good. So I I really enjoyed. I really
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: enjoyed that one.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: Uh So the next one would be you know, Gigi's,
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: but she's not here. So then we have the Hammer
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: of Zanzibar, which.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Is, oh my god, my god.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: What an incredible name. All the other ones I was
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: looking through, I was like, okay, you know, vampire got it.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: And then I was like, the Hammer of Zan's, Okay,
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: we're going weird with this last one. And it was
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: weird in the best way possible, and I didn't realize
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: it was Joanah Ray for so long. I'm used to
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: seeing him in like Destroy All Neighbors with the glasses
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: because he's even in Pooka Lives.
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: But he's got a It's like, is he like Clark?
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: And yeah, I've seen three different things from him recently.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: He had a beard and Puka Lives, and then he
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: had no glasses in this one. I was like, man,
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: he really is, like you take those glasses off. He's
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: so different. But yeah, because he was also in just
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: I talked to Josh Forbes this earlier this year about
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: Destroy All Neighbors and how he got involved with Joanah Ray.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: So you've kind of been working with Jonah and in
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: a few projects. Did you meet him like a while
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: ago and just became friends and you're just like, you're
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: gonna be in my movies from now on?
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: No, actually we met him Pooka Leaves. But but I
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: love Jonna. I mean I wouldn't mind doing like, you know,
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: like I would say, like Scorset is a hero, like
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: the cheap, very cheap damage, the cheap version, like uh yeah,
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: it's it's like the bootleg version form I loved. I
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: love working with and after we did Fuka, I remember
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: one night one day I called him in the morning
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: and I said to him, I had a dream. Sorry.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: He turned to him in the morning.
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: And I said, I had a dream, which is probably
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: not the best time that phrase has been used. I said,
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: I had a dream in which you were beating a
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: demon's head with a demon stick, and which which you know,
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: we're also arousing speech there.
• 40:53
  Speaker 6: But ignore that.
• 40:54
  Speaker 9: Yeah, And I think, I said, and we were making
• 41:00
  Speaker 9: a movie in which you were doing this, and then
• 41:02
  Speaker 9: I was like, we should do that, And you know,
• 41:07
  Speaker 9: I I one day I was.
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: Reading about demons as you do, and I read about
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: the Papa, which is a real demon you go as
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: a Wikipedia page and he does exactly what he does
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: in this in this short. And originally I planned that
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: as a as a movie. I wanted to make everything
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: that is told in the short. I wanted to be
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: like in a movie like in it was going to
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: be like a kill bill, like all the different chapters,
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: and there was one chapter which was gonna be what
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: happened in Havana, and one chapter was gonna be the
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: Hammer of Danzibar, and It was about this documentary crew
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: that goes to Cuba to shoot a documentary about Stay
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: and they filmed something that they shouldn't be filming and
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: sometimes somehow it gets out and they unleash something. So
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: I had this idea, and I remember when we were
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: thinking about our shorts for Satanic. I was in Vancouver
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: prepping this movie, and I said Mike, I have this
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: very stupid idea and I and he was like, that's
• 42:16
  Speaker 5: fucking awesome. You should do it. I was like, you
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: want to get me canceled and let me talk to
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: the others and and I mentionally to to the and
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: to it, and they were all like, oh, that's very awesome.
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: You should do it, because they all hate me.
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and then we read the script and we're like,
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: oh my god, this is yeah. You know, I mean,
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: you know, you gotta I mean, look, you gotta, you
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: gotta push you know, the borders, you gotta cross the
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: line if you get you know, that's what anthologies are for.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: So he, you know, he definitely went forward, that's for sure. Yeah.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And that was the probably the best way to
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: end the segmented version of the story because you're just like,
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: I just watched the guy beat someone with a demon dick,
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: very very bad too.
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: You know, I also have it here. I also haven't
• 43:13
  Speaker 5: have it here. I mean this is this is the
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: hammer of Zanzibar. It's twenty four in, twenty four inches long,
• 43:20
  Speaker 5: eighteen insertable and yeah, this is ore. You know Mike
• 43:28
  Speaker 5: has the other one, like we we based it on it.
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well you had the size of down a lot,
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: but yeah, it's it's basically my Yeah.
• 43:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the molding segment was really uncomfortable, but yeah, which.
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: By the way, it was sculpted by Norman Cabrera, who
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: also did San la Verte from Mike's segment and was
• 43:53
  Speaker 5: one of the best sculptures in the industry. He has
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: done about He has done a bunch of Germotoros movies.
• 43:59
  Speaker 5: In Hellboy, I remember when we were scolting the hammer Zanzibar,
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: he was like, he was like, well, he was sculpting,
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: he was working on the hammer, and I was asking
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: him what you were doing Hellboy? Wait, what did you
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: guys talk about Hellboy's dick? And he looks at me
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: and he's like, we didn't talk about her boys dick,
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: And I like, what the hell do you talk about.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: Why weren't you Yeah, it's like, what's wrong?
• 44:26
  Speaker 5: What's wrong with you people? Why aren't you talking talking
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: about that? So yeah, but no, it was a it
• 44:35
  Speaker 5: was a very fun segment. The actors were great. Jacob
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: Jacob I think was amazing as a heffy. Yeah, and
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: that's what you knew. That's when we knew we had
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: something special because, like I remember, our sound guy hadn't
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: read the screenplay. Was just like that short.
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: Why why I read it?
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, exactly. It the sound and what we shot
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: first was Jacob's monologue. And I remember member when Jacob
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: was doing his monologue and it gets to the part
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: and the sound guy he was buried there with his
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: headphones and suddenly he looks up like what the hell
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: did I just hear? He was looking around like what
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: are we doing here?
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: And you Yeah, it was a little bit of a
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: challenge that to cast that role, right.
• 45:24
  Speaker 5: No, it was super challenging. Like again, it was it
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: was a listen. It was a little bit what I
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: havn't with Mike. I wanted someone else first. But you know,
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: there's a lot of Latino actors said no to this role.
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: We went to a lot of people and they said
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: no to this role. I think, I mean, it's I'm
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: I'm not guessing. I'm pretty sure it's partly because most
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: Latinos get cast sadly, you know, top gang members and
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: that kind of stuff, and they didn't want to be
• 46:01
  Speaker 5: the guy that had the relationship loving relationship.
• 46:07
  Speaker 6: Apparently they're against sodomy who knew.
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, exactly, yeah, yeah, Pedro Pascal, you know pass
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: no no.
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: No, no, no no no. We did have no no, don't
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: touch Pedro those I'm pretty sure he would.
• 46:26
  Speaker 7: But I feel, I feel like it can't be this.
• 46:29
  Speaker 7: But in my head, I feel we had like twenty
• 46:31
  Speaker 7: six passes, but I don't.
• 46:32
  Speaker 5: Think it had we had we had ten.
• 46:34
  Speaker 6: We had okay, all right, and it was double.
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: Head really ten passes.
• 46:38
  Speaker 7: Yes, I mean, I don't know if this is bad,
• 46:40
  Speaker 7: including Danny Trejoe, which was you know.
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: That was our first. That was our first. But by
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: the way, I think, I do think things happened for
• 46:51
  Speaker 5: a reason. Yeah, when you're making when you're making a movie,
• 46:54
  Speaker 5: it's not just with me. Look at what happened with Mike,
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: Like I cannot imagine a better traveler than Ephron and
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: the same way. I cannot imagine a better Hypha than Jacob.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: He was perfect. He was perfect.
• 47:08
  Speaker 5: He killed it. He killed it when he like, we
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: were laughing so hard while shooting that scene, and even
• 47:16
  Speaker 5: when I talked to him for the first time, I
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: knew he understood perfectly the assignment. Yeah, it was super fun.
• 47:24
  Speaker 5: Everyone was great. Jonah. I love working with Jonah. He
• 47:27
  Speaker 5: was fantastic.
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got great timing with his comedy. I mean,
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: how many takes do you think it took you to
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: get that done? Seriously? Because I mean I can imagine
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: everyone during that monologue had to be just cracking up hysterically,
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: but probably did it take a while or did it actually?
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: Did you guys get through it quickly?
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: I mean we didn't get through it quickly because it
• 47:47
  Speaker 5: was like eleven or twelfth patients, so it was and
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: I shot it from I shot it from many angles.
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: So yeah, and Alejandro kept laughing at his own scripts.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: He was the one that was just you know, couldn't.
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: That might have happened? You Usually I don't laugh on
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: my stuff because you know, by the moment you're doing
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: the jokes, you have seen them so many times. But
• 48:14
  Speaker 5: if there's something that I still chuckle when I watch it.
• 48:18
  Speaker 5: It's ammer.
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: I'm very proud of well yeah, man, I mean just
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: and also his performance, right, like you just can't you can't.
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: Help the reactions. Yeah.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: Reading it on paper and having someone deliver it is
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: you know, I feel like it's different. Yeah, it's different.
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: The way he delivered it. You're just like, oh my god,
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: he's so serious. And you know, Joan Hray and they
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: were just like, I don't know, this is kind of strange.
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: It sounds like you were in a relationship with the
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: demon who then kind of ghosted you. Very very odd.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: But I love that because it takes a serious tone
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: and then goes like just slips slowly into comedy the
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: more the monologue goes along, and by the end you're like, oh,
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: there's there's a whole there's a whole penis here. This
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: is this is insane. So, I mean I can see
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: the Evil Dead influence there for sure, But I mean,
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: is there any kind of like, what's is the folklore
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: part of Argentinean folklore? Is it kind of pulling from
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: somewhere else?
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: Well, I know it's Cuban folklore. Yeah, I was born Arentina,
• 49:15
  Speaker 5: but I'm not Argentina and I'm I'm Cuban.
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, where what other country could that come from?
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: I mean really, well, I told you that it's a
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: real demoniar and he sexually assault and we made it
• 49:35
  Speaker 5: more consensual, we made it like loving, loving relationship for
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: the for the movie, but it's a real demon and
• 49:46
  Speaker 5: and all the other all the other Santaia references are
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: also based on on Cuban Afric Cuban religions and voodoo,
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: like King Zombies actually in Zombie Bungo's actually from voodoo.
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: I think, you know, I had to throw it in
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: because like you have a bad guy called King Zombie,
• 50:08
  Speaker 5: you sort of have to use it.
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I love the transition from where everything's happy
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: and they're in the restaurant and all of a sudden,
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: he's like, I don't think any of this is real,
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: Like why would you invite me here? And then the
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: like the color grading shifts or the lighting shifts all
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: to this dark bleak and she starts clapping. She's like,
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: oh man, I thought I had you there. That was
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: an incredible scene how it went from this happy kind
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: of just dinner too. Oh, now I've got a defeated
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: demon with a giant dick. So I really I really
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: loved the pacing of that one.
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: I wanted I wanted to make that as a movie,
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: and that was going to be the opening, and I actually,
• 50:42
  Speaker 5: you know what, I actually, I actually remember I pitched
• 50:44
  Speaker 5: that to some REMI because I was like, I want
• 50:47
  Speaker 5: to do some sort of like Evil Dead spin off
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: where we have like the like the Caribbean cousin of
• 50:53
  Speaker 5: your Candarian demon. I love that, but you know, we
• 50:56
  Speaker 5: ended up ended up making it like a giant dick.
• 51:00
  Speaker 6: Oh my goodness.
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: So, uh what about you for for Elvampiro? Where you
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: were Where were you pulling any folklore from?
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: Is?
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: Because like I said, I'm I'm not very well versed
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: and stuff like this. I'm just curious maybe where some
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: of you.
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, it was basically like, you know, imagine if
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: you know, because you know, the Dracula thing is so
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: well known, you know, and you know, it's like you
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: can't you know, it's not it's very mainstream. So I
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: just basically took that and just said, all right, you know,
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: imagine if Henke Mada, this Colombian, you know, this uh Dominican,
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: you know, vampire.
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: What would his life have been?
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: You know, you know he's lived for you know, four
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: hundred years or whatever, and you know, you know, so
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: it was just kind of like, you know, it was
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: it was the backstory was pretty easy, you know, I mean,
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: and then I just, you know, luckily I hired the
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: right you know actors. Patricio Alaska was you know who
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: knew hemkey, you know, she came on board and they
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: had they already had like a relationship for many years,
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: and it was like, you know, they were just like
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: kind of they just went right into like the you know,
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: the old couple just kind of you know, busting each
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: other's balls and you know, so basically I just you know,
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: they did that and then just let the actors, you know,
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: kind of roam with it.
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because she was also in wasn't she in the Mummy? Right? Yeah?
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was a big movie for her.
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, which was incredible.
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: I know, there's like a lot of people I was like, wow,
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: I was like, I know you from something and that
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: I look it up and I'm like there it is. Yes,
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: I mean obviously I knew Efrian Ramirez immediately. Well, it
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: did take me a second because I hadn't seen him
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: in anything in a while, so it did take me
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: a second there. But yeah, everyone in this I feel
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: just perfectly cast, and it seemed to just come together
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: so well. I mean, if you didn't have those ten
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: passes and got someone else, it could have been an
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: entirely different thing for for Alejandro Short but everyone is
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: so good. Even the two detectives were really funny. I
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: know Detective Arden, he was in Big Ass Spiders, Yeah,
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: and he's really funny. But something as hilarious for me
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: is what's her name, Sonya Eddie Eddie. I recognize the
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: cadence of her voice. I'm like, I know this voice,
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: and it's because she was on a few episodes of
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: Seinfeld back in the nineties and I was like, oh
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: my god, that's so funny. She was also in a
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: recent VHS where she was that game show segment from
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: VHS she was in that, So I love the the
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: arc of her doing TVs and stuff like that to
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: going into horror movies.
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: I thought that was so excellent.
• 53:31
  Speaker 7: Damn, you're good if you could get the cadence of
• 53:33
  Speaker 7: her voice from a Seinfeld episode, because I remember that
• 53:35
  Speaker 7: was like like a meter Maide or something.
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: She's in like two or three episodes where she plays
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: Rebecca Day Mornee and she just just like, I don't
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: know the tone of her voice. It's just so etched
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: in my brain because I watched I watched Seinfeld all
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: the time, So it was just funny making that connection.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: I was like, Wow, I never expected her to see
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: her in a movie like this.
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: Uh, but yeah, the whole the whole thing comes together
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: very nicely. And then the ending is I got very
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: Spaghetti Western kind of vibes from that ending with blanking
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: on the name. Yeah, very almost like like Sergio Sergio
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: the only esque because that look you had. Oh my god,
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: I love the look of this demon, I guess, is
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: is it a Yeah?
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you.
• 54:26
  Speaker 7: Know, a lot of credit goes to Norman Cabrero who
• 54:28
  Speaker 7: did the hammers Ansen Bar, like we mentioned, but but yeah.
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he gets overshadowed because he did the Hammers Ansid
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: Bar right exactly the attention, you know.
• 54:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah, And there was two kind of looks that that
• 54:42
  Speaker 7: we kind of went for. One was kind of like
• 54:45
  Speaker 7: the kind of more Spaghetti Western kind of Yaodorowski kind
• 54:49
  Speaker 7: of looked with the hat and the mask when he
• 54:51
  Speaker 7: comes in, because we like the idea that he could not.
• 54:53
  Speaker 7: Now I think it's funny that he, oh, he travels
• 54:55
  Speaker 7: to be incognito, yet it's just ridiculously huge thing that
• 54:59
  Speaker 7: would would stand out anywhere.
• 55:00
  Speaker 6: But whatever, we have to go with it, you know.
• 55:03
  Speaker 7: So that was kind of the one look, and then
• 55:05
  Speaker 7: they start shooting them, and the mask clows off and
• 55:07
  Speaker 7: the stuff comes off, and then we see that it
• 55:09
  Speaker 7: is actually this kind of ancient deity that's supposed to
• 55:12
  Speaker 7: look like it's from made of stone or something like that.
• 55:14
  Speaker 7: So so it was two different looks that he did,
• 55:17
  Speaker 7: So that was a lot of fun to kind of create,
• 55:19
  Speaker 7: you know, the the creature itself and then kind of
• 55:23
  Speaker 7: the disguised creature or whatever, which is pretty cool.
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: So yeah, and then and then the ending sequence of
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: just walking through and holding his hand out and then
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: everyone's just shooting each other, and it was just so cinematic.
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: It's like slow motion.
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: There's this beautiful singing behind it, and then Effyron comes
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: out with that gun plugs.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: At one time he's like, all right, I'm out of here.
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: I gotta go, and then the movie kind of ends
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: how it starts, you know, if I don't get out
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: of here in ninety minutes, we're all going to be dead.
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: I love when the plot circles back around and references
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: something at the beginning, because then that even ties it
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: ties it together even more because of the fact that
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: it's an anthology and you need that wrap around, but
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: you're also doing that reference, like we could stick around,
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: but I don't think we're all going to be here
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: so right. And it kind of makes me wonder, like,
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: would the possibility of a sequel ever, because would it
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: would you ever be up to doing like another Satanic
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: Hispanics kind of thing?
• 56:16
  Speaker 7: Up for it one hundred percent, But nobody wants to
• 56:19
  Speaker 7: see the movie, so therefore.
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: That's the problem.
• 56:23
  Speaker 7: Okay, therefore the demand was not too high for it,
• 56:28
  Speaker 7: So sadly it is very unlikely, as much as it
• 56:31
  Speaker 7: was very much designed for the traveler to continue and
• 56:33
  Speaker 7: tell your different stories from different countries and all that.
• 56:36
  Speaker 6: But yeah, sadly box office is king.
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: Uh and uh, you know, was Shutter involved with that
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: one at all, with like distributing or anything.
• 56:45
  Speaker 7: It was, well, it was it was eventually became a
• 56:49
  Speaker 7: Shutter you know exclusive after the album.
• 56:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, not not when we were.
• 56:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we have the same the same company that went
• 56:58
  Speaker 7: much better for them, that that released Terrifier. Uh yeah, yeah,
• 57:04
  Speaker 7: Iconic Films, And so they were like, oh, they had
• 57:06
  Speaker 7: a lot of luck. Uh and then and then we
• 57:09
  Speaker 7: put it out and then we were like, oh, because
• 57:11
  Speaker 7: because you know, fun fact that that like Latinos love
• 57:14
  Speaker 7: horror movies and so a huge portion of the audience
• 57:17
  Speaker 7: for for most horror movies or Latinos. So we're like, oh,
• 57:20
  Speaker 7: we will, we will utilize that, we will harness that
• 57:23
  Speaker 7: they will come to.
• 57:23
  Speaker 6: The r movie.
• 57:24
  Speaker 7: But but I think Latino is kind of in their
• 57:26
  Speaker 7: own way told us like we're good. We like we
• 57:29
  Speaker 7: like the people the movies other people make. That's fine
• 57:32
  Speaker 7: with us. Wow.
• 57:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I mean yeah it was because because like
• 57:41
  Speaker 5: every time every time I have like a stupid idea,
• 57:44
  Speaker 5: I tell Mike maybe we should do another one, And
• 57:47
  Speaker 5: this time is someone needs to someone needs to get
• 57:52
  Speaker 5: a weapon for something, and they go see a He's
• 57:55
  Speaker 5: another story, Oh another release from she yeah or something that.
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be cool, that would totally be cool
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: to utilize that the guy from that short, because he
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: had a whole store full of stuff.
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, you could just go.
• 58:09
  Speaker 6: Through Yeah exactly.
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: Just do it concering style and talk about all the
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: stuff in the room. That would be amazing.
• 58:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, he's he's like the Edward Ring of the money.
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah exactly.
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: Well yeah, because I find I find Satanic Hispanics very
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: fascinating because they're the only other fully like Hispanic directed
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: anthology I could think of. Is I'm probably gonna butcher this,
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: But it's a Mexico barbaro.
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: Is that correct Mexico?
• 58:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well yeah, but that's but that's just Mexicans. Mexicans.
• 58:46
  Speaker 5: We tried to do it from everywhere. That's that was
• 58:50
  Speaker 5: the idea. I mean, you are you are correct, technically,
• 58:54
  Speaker 5: it's correct, but that's just like just Mexicans. So yeah,
• 59:00
  Speaker 5: we tried to and by the way, like we have
• 59:02
  Speaker 5: a we have we had a list of like fantastic
• 59:05
  Speaker 5: lists of more Latino filmmakers if we had done more,
• 59:09
  Speaker 5: like there's so much wealth of talent in Latin America
• 59:14
  Speaker 5: because if you think about it, the only one repeating
• 59:16
  Speaker 5: would have been the traveler, unless from time to time
• 59:20
  Speaker 5: he needed a big joke. But yeah, so the idea
• 59:26
  Speaker 5: if we had more was to keep bringing more Latin
• 59:30
  Speaker 5: American talent and.
• 59:31
  Speaker 7: There's even more talent in Latin America because all they
• 59:34
  Speaker 7: all got deported out of out of America.
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. It's a mess here, let
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: me tell you. It's such a.
• 59:41
  Speaker 6: Mess that's where we would be looking.
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: I think it's a very important film, and I think
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: it's important to put that, to put that kind of
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: diversity out there, because it's just not something that's really
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: really that's it's very not unpopular.
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: It's very what I'm looking for. It's rare. It's rare. Yeah,
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: it's rare that something like this happens.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: And it kind of just kind of breaks my heart
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: that it didn't get the Like I said, everyone has
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: heard of it in my circle and no one for
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: some reason, they just have not watched it. So it's
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 3: just I wish these this movie you just get that
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: recognition because I feel it's very important to highlight uh,
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: directors from all over you know, from all over the world.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: I think it's a fantastic idea.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 7: But we did get protested, which was which was great. Yeah,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 7: we got protested by a Baptist kind of like church
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 7: in Kansas, Uh, and I wasn't sure if they were
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 7: more upset by the Satanic or the Hispanic part.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 6: I'm not not sure which they had an issue with,
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 6: but but they did it.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 7: I I kind of you know, maybe the movie was
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 7: ahead of its time, but I would have been it
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 7: would have been fun to get the Trump administration to
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 7: talk shit on it.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 6: That would have Yeah, that would have made me very happy,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 6: but sadly.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 5: But also also remember also remember there was a petition
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 5: in change dot org by a Latino guy, a boy
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 5: called Satanic Hispanics film. He got thirteen signatures, which made
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 5: us feel bad. We wanted to add some of our him.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 6: Got at least one hundred or one thousand.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: You know, like six hundred and sixty six or something.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I can, I can, I can put the link here.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 5: It's a little bit late for that, but you know,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 5: maybe maybe to give him a boost.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 6: I mean I think I think I think his uh
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 6: efforts worked, you know.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think people did what you did, right, Yeah.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: The thing that I that I really do appreciate though,
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: is that it at least has a very solid three
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: point oh out of five on letterbox, which is for
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 3: an anthology movie is very good because most most anthologies,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: even all the vhs, s are in like the two sevens,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: two eights. So you do have a good strong rating
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: on letterbox and there's a lot of positive Oh.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 5: We went down, We went down. It was a three
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 5: point four or something.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 6: Really, I never go on underbox, so this is news
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 6: to me. So that's exciting to hear.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Mike, Mike, I used to I used to go
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 5: a lot, and I haven't done any like a year
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 5: or something. But one of my favorite themes was to
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 5: send Mike the bad reviews. He's like, why are you
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 5: sending me this ship?
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 7: I look at the other ones at Twitter, at you know, uh,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 7: any other ones that I could, I could look up
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 7: for rotten tomatoes, I'd find them. But he'd go, you know,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 7: it feels like you're going into people's homes to like, hey,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 7: I'm looking for bad reviews.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 3: Well here's a here's a glowing review from Lily I
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: n G five stars said love the gay Demons and
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: close to divorce vampires.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: So there's a there's a yeah.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 5: So wait, wait, I have I have one on a
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 5: half here. Let me do something good for Mike's.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 6: Good as a wrapper out Jesus Christ. Uh.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 5: They the yokes felt like they came from the cutting
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 5: room floor of the Your Slopist Show.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 6: Ouch.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: Let me see, people get really brutal with the.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and they'll just they'll just do like a sentence
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: or two and then that's that's it. They don't even
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: fully go into what didn't work.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 4: They're like, everybody's a critic, man, yeah, yeah, uncle, yeah, everybody.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's you know.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: That's why I like to refer to myself as more
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: of a film enthusiast than a critic, because I'm always
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: looking for the good in movies, and even if I
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: don't like a movie, I will find at least one
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: thing that I did enjoy and and at least highlight that.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: But this through and through was just such a fantastic time. Unfortunately,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: my wife she she's by nine o'clock, she's out, and
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: it was like nine oh five and falling asleep on
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: the couch right after Gigi's sure, and I was like,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: you're gonna miss the hammer's hands a bar which I
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: didn't think was gonna involve a demon dick, but I
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: figured it was gonna involve.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: Some thorn something.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 5: It's a good day night, yeah.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, with the kids that are are going to
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: be at the parents this weekend, so I think we're
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 3: gonna throw that on finish yet.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 4: So you know, yeah, yeah, make sure make sure she
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 4: gets her fill of the hammer.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, oh wait, it's okay. This is this is
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 5: a great bad review. It's like it says, for instance,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 5: Elvampire is by far the cheapest, the Harbor of Sansivar
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 5: is nearly Latino free, Tarantino fan thick Amatello hour, decent prosthetics,
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 5: and great school fight choreography.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah that's right, right, Wait they said that that said
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 4: that Alba Piro was the cheapest.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, let's be honest, yea, and only salvage
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 5: but look it says really only selfish salvage able for Elvapiro.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 5: Let me see. Wow wait, let me see. Let me
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 5: see what day if they told you about Mike. I
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 5: love when they told.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 6: The rest of the looking at bad reviews is it's
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 6: a it's a good good time.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't anyway, I think it's time to you know,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 4: it might be time to say goodbye at this point
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 4: for reading.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 7: That.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 3: Uh, just one more question for you guys, then, is
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: there is there any behind the scenes uh stuff that
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 3: you have that fun stories from set or anything that
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: you guys would like to share. I always ask that
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: because uh answers very and it's just it's just fun
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: to ask.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 7: UH set we weren't there was reportedly haunted Bye bye
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 7: by Forrest uh sprites, I believe if I'm not mistaken.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they have to do some witchcraft there.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 7: There there were voices and and equipment would go saying
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 7: and all sorts of all sorts of crazy things and
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 7: put out yeah we've.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 5: Been missing, and then reappear on ev Yeah.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, weird.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: Hers was I don't I don't think I really got
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: Hers as much because I looked up what the title
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 3: meant and said, shape shifter?
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: Is that correct? Is that what the what it was about?
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, so I liked Hers, but I felt like
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: I didn't. I didn't understand it. So I don't know
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: if you can provide maybe some context that would make
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: it make sense to me.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 5: But I think that's better for you to explain.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: That's fair.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 5: You should on the show.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: All right, I'll reach I'll reach out to you.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 7: Because it took us a long time to get it
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 7: and and basically one day she had to explain it
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 7: to us.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 6: So you're not alone.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, but but she wanted to kind of go
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: more for kind.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 6: Of a visceral experience, fever dream kind of thing.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it's not it's not really it's more. Yeah,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: it's more. It's more ambiguous, not really connecting the dots there,
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 5: Okay, it's so well done, so so beautiful, shows fantastic.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah. I think if you listen to the commentary, if
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 7: you have the Blu ray and listen to the commentary,
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 7: I think she explains it in that.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: I think, oh, there's a there's actually an actual physical
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: release of this.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh I.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 5: Never I never listened to them.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 6: I only listened to it when we recorded it.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 5: Oh, okay, wasn't with us? Was she?
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 7: We all took turns. We all like we were we
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 7: were like the race, like like an anthology. We were
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 7: the radio DJs, and we kind of talked about our
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 7: ship during during that, and then when the segments came over,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 7: they would take over.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 5: Didn't we record on your place where you're sitting right now?
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 5: You and me? I remember doing that.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 7: But but then but then I but then they would
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 7: come in. I don't remember if we did it separately.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 7: Or they did it separately, but but I'm pretty sure everybody.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 7: I don't know if Demon did it, but I think
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 7: everybody else had a commentary on there. All right, well
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna have I'm gonna have to go look it
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 7: up and the you know, I mean I don't.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: I don't even remember, but you know, I remember half.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: Have any Do you have any good story in I
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: mean the only thing, I mean, it's not a really
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: good it's you know, Pat, you know, we we uh,
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: she came in and she shot one scene and then
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: she tested COVID positive and you know, it shut shut
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: us down.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 5: And they had that's a really funny story, and then we.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: All got COVID. A couple of crew people died.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: It was a real laugh.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 4: No, but nothing, I mean, it was mostly just battling
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 4: the cold and that damn egg shirt. I just was
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 4: stinking up to high Heaven.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 3: And you know, I mean at least you were outside
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 3: for most of it, so I guess that, yes, yes,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 3: and then sometimes in a dumpster, so I'm sure the
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: dumpster smell might have masked the eggs.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no, we did well. I mean, you know,
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 4: it was it was fun, you know, but nothing crazy happened, honestly.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, Oh, I don't know.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 5: Mine was fun. Mine was fun. You mean you have fights,
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 5: you have a blot and all that. It was just
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 5: really fun to shoot. We didn't have I remember we
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 5: had Jonah he when he was fighting the dem on
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 5: Morgana and he hit Morgana with the actual hammer Zanzibar.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 5: In one of the takes he clocked Morgana and they
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 5: take made it to the film, of course, like like
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 5: there's there's one like real, real.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: Head, real head. Yeah it was the tapper was at
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: the balls tip tip okay, just a tap, Yeah, he's
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 3: the tip. I think that would have been a ko.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't but I don't remember if we had anything.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 5: I mean there was a little time and we were
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 5: running so much, and I don't know if there's anything
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 5: like it. It was just fun, very fun shoot, but
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 5: also very very stressful, very tiring because it was like
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 5: a lot of full work for only four days.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: So yeah, well, I can't recommend this movie enough. It
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 3: is not only has incredible segments, but all the segments
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 3: are shot very well. You can see your style, every
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 3: director's style in each one, and overall it's an anthology.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 3: It just is very just like it's very it's very
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: cohesive with how it is presented. A lot of times
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 3: with VHS they can vary in quality and camera, but
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 3: all of these just looked so consistent. So it's very
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 3: esthetically pleasing. It's got a really good final act with
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: you know, stand them where to say. So I recommend
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 3: this to anybody who is Shutter or two B. I mean,
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 3: you have no excuse. If it's on two B. It's
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 3: literally free. You don't have to pay for shit. You
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 3: just have to watch ads and for an hour and
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 3: fifty two minute movie. That movie flew by because the
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 3: pacing was just so incredibly done. So anybody listening, if
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 3: you're listening to this and you haven't watched it, that's
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: on you. I told you to go watch it at
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 3: the beginning of the show. I mean we didn't really
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 3: spoil too much though, honestly, So you.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 5: Know, I like, I like how you are, Like these
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 5: are really great. I'm totally much better than VHS. Yeah,
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 5: so you know, VHS is like in seven or eight
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 5: movie right now, there's a ton of directors there that
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 5: are gonna come after Yeah. Yeah, suddenly someone runs over Mike,
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 5: we won't.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 3: Know which rights and GG actually did a short for
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 3: VHS eighty five which was a really.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: Good one, and then Betrayal that's that's a good one.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: She loves the folklore deity like vibes. I love it
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: like it was really good. Uh.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 5: And they spent the knife on our backs and tally
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 5: twisted the.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: Knife turned on.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 3: But she also did a segment in Mexico Barbaro as well.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure so she's been well versed in the
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 3: segmented four here.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, I think that's all I have for you guys,
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: unless there's anything else you guys like to say about
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 3: the movie or any projects or anything in the future.

  Speaker 2: If you guys got anything, let me know.
• 1:12:07

• 1:12:30
  Speaker 3: like to keep up with you and what you're doing.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, the best place is, uh the
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 4: Facebook page hacks and Films, but I'm rarely on there. Honestly,
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 4: it's like, yeah, I'm I'm trying to bring my space back, man, Come.
