Transcript
- 0:21We are getting this Thanksgiving show on the road and we're.
- 0:27Not Can I get my thing? Can we?
- 0:28Can I give a Thanksgiving hot take before we get started?
- 0:32Yeah, let's let's all give our Thanksgivings Thanksgiving hot
- 0:35takes. I don't like stuffing.
- 0:39I don't like to. I never have.
- 0:41I like stuffing. I like Turkey.
- 0:42I I I just. I do not care for it.
- 0:45It's weird. What do I want to eat?
- 0:47Like wet bread for? No, but.
- 0:51It's not like wet. It is, though it's always it's.
- 0:55It's damp. Yeah, it's not moist because
- 0:59bread can be moist and good, but it is not moist.
- 1:02It's damp, it's soggy, it's wrong.
- 1:05And you can't even prepare it in the Turkey and say it's not safe
- 1:08to do that. It doesn't cook properly if you
- 1:10do that. It's bread.
- 1:13How? How do you not?
- 1:14It's already cooked. They say you can't.
- 1:17Like the whole thing is that you put the stuffing in the Turkey
- 1:20and then you put it in the oven, but you can't do that because
- 1:22it's not safe. No, None of it's safe.
- 1:25No. It's ridiculous, all the raw.
- 1:28Turkey germs get sucked. Up in the I'm you know what?
- 1:31I'm tired of pretending like these hot takes are not valid
- 1:37because I didn't add the everybody every year I say I
- 1:41don't like stuffing not good. And people try to gaslight me
- 1:44into thinking that I'm I'm in the minority.
- 1:47No, I think I think that the anti stuffing party we are, we
- 1:52are out there. We are coalition of people who
- 1:54are tired of being beaten down by big Thanksgiving.
- 1:57It's wrong. It's wrong.
- 2:01I'm going to say it. I think Turkey's a lazy food.
- 2:05Lazy food. Why is it lazy?
- 2:07It's just so bland. It's not good.
- 2:10I'd rather a ham. I'd rather like a creamed
- 2:15chicken. Creamed chicken.
- 2:18You know what I'm saying? No, I don't just chicken with
- 2:23cream all over it. I don't know what.
- 2:28I hate. That what does that even mean?
- 2:30I don't know, I. Don't know.
- 2:32I don't know. Cream.
- 2:33Fresh. I don't know.
- 2:35Yeah, because I don't have chicken with some cream.
- 2:37Fries. Cream.
- 2:38What about a? What about some green bean
- 2:41casserole? Disgusting.
- 2:43I'll feel about. That's fine, that's fine.
- 2:45Most of the sides, most of the sides are fine.
- 2:48I don't like mashed potatoes, but that's just me.
- 2:51People like. I like I like, I like crunchy
- 2:53mashed potatoes, like baked bumpy mashed potatoes with Lay's
- 2:57or ruffle chips sprinkled on the top.
- 3:01Here's the thing, I love cornbread.
- 3:03I absolutely am a fiend for cornbread.
- 3:08So no ghetto. Saddens makes me mad too though.
- 3:11What the what? Ghetto dip.
- 3:14It's ghetto dip. What is that?
- 3:17You take like a thing of sour cream and you take 2 like onion
- 3:23powder packets and dump it in and stir it and you it's it's
- 3:27it's dip. So it's sour cream and onion
- 3:29dip. It's.
- 3:30It's French onion dip, that's what.
- 3:32Yeah. It done cheap it's just French
- 3:35onion dip. Just make it yourself.
- 3:37You'll be so you'll you'll thank me.
- 3:39I've had it. It's good.
- 3:43I think you can just probably buy that as it is.
- 3:47It's good. Just do it the way I told you.
- 3:49You'll be happy. OK, we'll, we'll try that.
- 3:53Anyways, welcome back to their hot takes from came from Scream
- 3:58Box, where a bunch of Thanksgiving haters here.
- 4:04I don't know, giving kind of sucks.
- 4:07It does kind of suck. It gives that one racist uncle
- 4:11the opportunity to start spouting out weird MAGA
- 4:14conspiracies. And it feels like a holiday that
- 4:16is set up around a football game somehow.
- 4:19Detroit Lions are playing Bobby. I'll be watching that.
- 4:22But then you meet up with your cousins and then, yeah, and you
- 4:26walk all the. Neighborhood.
- 4:28You walk on the neighborhood smoke garrets.
- 4:30Yeah, that's what I did. You did the walk.
- 4:35You do the walk so my. Cousins are Canadian, so they
- 4:38don't, you know they. Don't partake they.
- 4:41Don't do things, no. Boring.
- 4:43In Thanksgiving, they don't partake in Thanksgiving, but for
- 4:46some weird reason my family would always go to Canada and
- 4:50bring Thanksgiving with us and I always felt that was really
- 4:52weird. And I don't like like if it like
- 4:56in people in Canada. It's like they want to do the
- 5:00ritual of Thanksgiving despite it being like a horrible
- 5:05holiday. It's not good.
- 5:08But no matter what, my Thanksgivings and our
- 5:10Thanksgivings are always better than the unfortunate
- 5:14Thanksgivings of five teenagers. That is true.

- 6:08Whatever. Let's get right into the show
- 6:11this week was Noah's pick. Noah, do you want to key us in
- 6:14here, buddy? That's right is my pick.
- 6:17I landed on this holiday again. I think it was obvious.
- 6:20I think anybody was going to pick what we picked.
- 6:23I picked thanks. Good.
- 6:25Thanks. Killing from 2008.
- 6:29I got a bit of business here, so thanks.
- 6:31Killing is a dark comedy slasher created and directed by Jordan
- 6:36Downey in 2008. It's based around an immortal
- 6:39demonic Turkey that attacks 5 college students and anyone else
- 6:43that just so happens to come upon.
- 6:46The movie cost around $3500 to make.
- 6:50It was not exactly received positively when it was released,
- 6:54however it did have a sequel thanks Killing Three, and there
- 6:59was even a musical adaptation in 2013 as well.
- 7:02Love it. Jordan Downey shot Thanks
- 7:06killing over 14 days in the summer of 2007.
- 7:09He built the Turkey puppet himself due to a budgetary
- 7:12constraint in his apartment, which they also used for certain
- 7:17locations for shooting. The cast is mostly family and
- 7:22friends, aside from an appearance of Wanda Lust, who is
- 7:26the only person who got paid for this movie.
- 7:29Was she a porn star? Yeah, Yep.
- 7:32OK. That's their whole thing.
- 7:34And she actually appears in the sequel too.
- 7:37You know, maybe maybe she liked it and she wanted to come back,
- 7:42or maybe it's just grabbing a check.
- 7:43Maybe they paid her the entire $3000 budget.
- 7:48Sounds like that's where the budget went.
- 7:50Yeah, most of it probably Thanks Killing.
- 7:53Also the animation. They did a little animation
- 7:56there that probably cost money, but Thanks.
- 7:59Killing premiered at the Sacramento Horror Fest's Merry
- 8:04Scary Winter Horrorland Festival in 2008.
- 8:08Yeah, it's a very long name. It was.
- 8:10I think it was like a subsection of this festival.
- 8:14They released it on DVD the following year, and it took more
- 8:18than a year to sell 1000 DVDs. The sequel enjoyed.
- 8:23Yeah, eventually they did do it. The sequel enjoyed a much larger
- 8:28budget of $112,000 thanks to a Kickstarter campaign, proving
- 8:33that the original did eventually find a fan base of loyal fans.
- 8:38However, the sequel also suffered from the same negative
- 8:40feedback on its release, and due to it also being a Kickstarter,
- 8:44a lot of DV DS were given as a backer reward.
- 8:50Yeah. So it's hard to, it's hard to
- 8:52know on these kind of things. How much money does a
- 8:55Kickstarter make? Because you could say it made
- 8:57$112,000, but it also cost $112,000.
- 9:01So yeah, so like. A little bit difficult.
- 9:03Possibly, yeah. Yeah, it movies like that, I
- 9:06think they pretty much break even.
- 9:07It did not get a theatrical release anything larger than a
- 9:12few screenings here and there. There was a musical adaptation
- 9:17that was created by Jeff Thompson, Jordan Man and David
- 9:21Eck in 2014. They performed in a handful of
- 9:25cities across the US, including Seattle, Columbus, and the
- 9:31Columbus performance featured Ryan Francis reprising his on
- 9:35screen role. I can't remember which character
- 9:37he played, but I think it's I think it's for God.
- 9:41What's the nerd? Denny, Dennis.
- 9:47It's yeah. Well, he he revised his role on
- 9:50the stage performance in Columbus and then the last time
- 9:55it was performed was in Orlando in 2017.
- 9:59So a lot of the times on the show we like to focus on a prop
- 10:04or something physical, some kind of physical aspect.
- 10:08For the movie it when it was Magic, we focused on the
- 10:11whereabouts of the dummy, Fats and Cannibal.
- 10:14The musical. It was the rumored location of
- 10:16Alfred Packer's skull. For Thanksgiving.
- 10:19I was, I was more focused on the Turkey puppet, just clearly the
- 10:23most memorable prop. When I was looking online, I
- 10:27couldn't find any information for where it was.
- 10:29So IDM Jordan on Instagram and he informed me that the Turkey
- 10:33puppet is in good shape and in his possession.
- 10:36What's left of it anyway, which is just the head.
- 10:39He messaged. He said he, yeah, he said he
- 10:42didn't keep any of the molds, but he has the original head in
- 10:47his house and he says it's in good shape.
- 10:50Noah Why get him on the? Show you're making moves.
- 10:56Yeah, well, you know, I wanted it to be a surprise.
- 10:58But Jordan, if you're listening, if you want to hop by, we really
- 11:03appreciate you giving, giving that, giving that little tip
- 11:05because when you Google it, Google says that there's no
- 11:08known location for it. So that's exclusive.
- 11:11That's it. That's a hot scoop.
- 11:14If you will hot. Scoop of cranberry sauce there
- 11:18so I mean this movie is what it is I it I think it's worth a
- 11:25watch good little Thanksgiving watch what do you guys think
- 11:29you. Want me to go, Alex, or do you
- 11:32want to go? I would say it's absolutely
- 11:35worth a watch. It's it's corny.
- 11:37No, no, no beating around the Bush with that, but it's fun.
- 11:42It's just a goofy fun but like how else can like?
- 11:51It's like slapstick comedy at some points.
- 11:56Oh definitely some actually very good writing, some really good
- 12:02jokes that like I'm, I'm sticking in my back pocket
- 12:06'cause they're fucking hilarious.
- 12:08The Jon Benet Ramsey shit. I was like, God damn it.
- 12:11It's like every time they did one, I was like, that's yeah,
- 12:14it's. Good.
- 12:14Was that topical in 2008? I don't know how much too much
- 12:18about that. I'm sure it was.
- 12:19Yeah, I mean, it's it's kind of always been topical.
- 12:23Like it's never, never. It's harder to close.
- 12:28No, Yeah, it's so fucking. That's so good dude.
- 12:34It's so. Funny you got some thoughts,
- 12:36Nick? Yeah, dude.
- 12:39So for me, I've actually loved this movie for a very long time.
- 12:44The first time I watched Things Killing was Alex probably
- 12:48remembers my old Redford house, but we were living in Redford.
- 12:51You may have not gone Redford, but you knew about the Redford
- 12:54house. Like that was an old party house
- 12:57that we basically were renting and we would just put movies on
- 13:01all the time. And it was Thanksgiving and I
- 13:03found this movie and I was like, let's watch.
- 13:04Thanks killing. And I've, I've said it multiple
- 13:07times throughout the years where I'd be like, gobble, gobble
- 13:09bitch, just shit like that dude. Like I, I this movie stuck with
- 13:14me. I love this film.
- 13:16I think it's hilarious. I think it's clever.
- 13:19It's you, you know, they, they made what they could on the
- 13:23budget. They, they, they wanted to make
- 13:25this movie. They made it.
- 13:26You know, it's is it the greatest movie out there?
- 13:28No, it's not. It's also not meant to be,
- 13:30though. And it knows what it is.
- 13:32That's the important thing here. This is not a movie that's
- 13:34trying to be more than what it is.
- 13:36It knows it's a schlock lower than B movie and they crushed it
- 13:45like the Turkey itself is the the whole mythos behind the
- 13:49Turkey. If I want to get deep with it, I
- 13:51guess is awesome. It is so fucking funny.
- 13:56It it's clever. The movie is very clever.
- 13:58I it's it's you know, the use of a practical fact is awesome.
- 14:04I have not seen the sequels. No, so the first time I saw
- 14:08this, it was the first episode of the old Achievement Hunter
- 14:12show theater mode. This is one of the first
- 14:15episodes they did and I saw it there first and they did watch.
- 14:20They also covered the sequel, which I watched parts of it.
- 14:23It's it's very different. You can really.
- 14:26They got way more of a budget and they put it all on screen.
- 14:30I I think is the sequel on the screen box or no?
- 14:34I don't think so. Let me look.
- 14:37I'll say double feature. Double feature.
- 14:40Thanks killing three. We started early, we started
- 14:44early. Gotta get him on the.
- 14:47Show it is. It is.
- 14:51Uh oh. Uh oh.
- 14:53Pause. Pause.
- 14:55We'll be right back, boys. Yeah, right.
- 14:58Pause right there. We'll watch this.
- 15:00No, this one, it is on there. So we'll have to, we'll have to
- 15:02take a look at that. And maybe if, if Jordan would be
- 15:05so gracious, I know he's got some upcoming stuff maybe he'd
- 15:09like to talk about. Yeah.
- 15:12Just talk to him. Yeah, he's still still making
- 15:16things. Just great.
- 15:19That's that's fucking awesome. Love to hear it.
- 15:22What's do you guys have a favorite Turkey moment from this
- 15:26movie? I like it reminded me of the
- 15:30evil Dead and I shouldn't have laughed as hard as I do but when
- 15:34the Turkey gets his turn and he gets some I always cracks me up
- 15:39and then they go that's a gravy flavored condom.
- 15:42What the H? It's just like there's no reason
- 15:47they should be that funny. But like the Turkey getting it,
- 15:51I was like it's messed up, not good.
- 15:56But it's it's silly like the movie's like, it knows that it's
- 15:59being silly. It.
- 16:01And it's Turkey. Getting his rocks off.
- 16:04It's funny as fuck. It is, it's super funny.
- 16:07It's, it's, it's, it's, it's not innocent, but it is innocent to
- 16:11a degree. Dev not innocent.
- 16:13Yeah, it's not innocent. At all silly.
- 16:15It's a little silly. Snaps her neck immediately
- 16:18afterwards. Soon as she realizes what's
- 16:22going on. Yep, not good, but the the the
- 16:26gravy flavored condom hilarious. Great addition to that joke.
- 16:31And it's a scene later and the junk is still there.
- 16:35It's so it's like, it's just great writing into the into the
- 16:38next scene. I think I would have to go with
- 16:44the Turkey hitchhiking, yes. Yep, and gas.
- 16:50Gas, grass or ass. No one rides for free.
- 16:53Yeah, I don't have gas or grass. I, I, you know what?
- 17:00The Turkey's willing to do whatever he needs to to get get
- 17:03the job done. I respect that.
- 17:05He immediately said he was like, that's not for you or for
- 17:07anyone. So good.
- 17:13That pulls out a shotgun. I would pick that as my favorite
- 17:16part if but since you picked that I would have to say the
- 17:20Turkey cutting off the sheriff's face and wearing it as a mask.
- 17:24And the kids. Not noticing it immediately.
- 17:27The whole stretch of scenes is so good.
- 17:30The daughter bends over to give him a hug, like you don't
- 17:32realize he's bent down 4 feet. He's 3.
- 17:35People, you saw your dad, you saw your dad like 2 days ago and
- 17:40he was a normal man then. I love the ignorance of the
- 17:44teens in this movie. The college kids, rather.
- 17:47Yeah, it's like played to to the extreme.
- 17:50Yeah. And there's even like there's
- 17:52even the moment where he's reading the book and then all of
- 17:56a sudden this book that was written like 500 years ago is it
- 17:59has like math in it. Like the the text just turns
- 18:03into and he's like, he's like there's the rest of this is
- 18:07written in code. I think I can crack it.
- 18:09No, Yeah, I have to crack it. I Have you expected to put the
- 18:13sunglasses on at any moment? It's so good.
- 18:17It's just a goofy time, you know, after you've got back from
- 18:20your Thanksgiving cousin's walk. Definitely one to put on have a
- 18:25good have a good chortle at for a little while.
- 18:28After you've had a hog like you're just sitting there, it's.
- 18:30Short, you know it's only an hour long.
- 18:33It's perfect. It's literally a perfect.
- 18:36It's A and I would tell anybody the thing with this movie is
- 18:40because it knows what it is, because it's just a fun time in
- 18:44a silly universe. I would tell it like, hey, yeah,
- 18:47it's not a is it a good movie? Yeah.
- 18:51Yeah. No, yes.
- 18:53No, you know what I'm saying? Like it's a yes no movie.
- 18:56It's like, yeah, yes, it is. But at the same time, like it's
- 18:59schlock. It's cheesy, but it's good
- 19:02because it knows what that is and it knows what it is.
- 19:06And it yes, I would recommend this to anybody.
- 19:08Like go watch this. It's so fucking fun.
- 19:10It's hilarious. And it's just it, it's, it's a
- 19:13good time, man. And I don't know for sure, but
- 19:16as far as Thanksgiving themed horror movies go, I'd I'd I'm
- 19:22not sure that there's so many. This is always the first one
- 19:25that comes to mind. If there are, we'll look him up.
- 19:28But Even so, I we've probably seen them, but like, this is the
- 19:31movie that comes to mind. Thanksgiving horror movie.
- 19:34Thanks for killing. That's right.
- 19:36What do you mean? It's like, right.
- 19:38It's it's yeah, and it's a cult classic now.
- 19:40It really it is. It's the fucking. 100% of cult
- 19:43classic now. I've seen kids wear like not
- 19:46kids but like people like our age.
- 19:48I've seen Thanks killing T-shirts out and about at like a
- 19:51Target or something like that. I'm like damn dude that's
- 19:52fucking wild. That would that would be an
- 19:56incredibly deep cut to see a a thanks killing shirt out in the.
- 20:00Wild. I've seen one.
- 20:01I've seen. I've seen people wear it.
- 20:02Yeah. Oh yeah.
- 20:04Wow. It it, it.
- 20:05I was like, oh, it's fine, I think.
- 20:07He just walked past him. He said gobble, gobble bitch.
- 20:11I Perry knew I wanted to do because she's watched it too.
- 20:16She she knew that day she was like, no, do not, do not.
- 20:19We're not. Able I will leave you in this
- 20:22target. Dude.
- 20:24Well, I was wearing my Guinea pig T-shirt once.
- 20:26Some kid came up talking to me. She's like ha ha ha.
- 20:28Let's not talk to the other person who likes the extreme
- 20:31horror movie. I went OK.
- 20:34The fact that he came up to you is a red flag.
- 20:37That's what she said. She said that dangerous person.
- 20:41Stranger danger. Yeah.
- 20:43Oh man, thanks. Killing.
- 20:45Great fucking pic. I love this movie.
- 20:47I already give it a rank. I would, I would give it a, I'm
- 20:50going to give it a probably a three out of five.
- 20:54OK. Being pretty good, good, good
- 20:56laugh, good time. But I feel like a lot of people
- 20:59would see this and be like what is this?
- 21:01This is garbage and they would probably walk away from it.
- 21:04But if you stick with it, I think it it really proves its
- 21:08worth. But also at this point it's so
- 21:11like synonymous with it like that people know what the fuck
- 21:15this is. Mm hmm.
- 21:18Even if they've never even seen it, they were like, oh, I've
- 21:20heard of that. Browsing through like Amazon
- 21:24movies and there it is right there on Yeah, you know, it's
- 21:27all like Tubie Prime. It's I think so.
- 21:30I've seen it on like Tubie or something like that.
- 21:32I've in YouTube as well. Like when they put it put up
- 21:36free movies. Yeah, and bless you that that
- 21:41didn't even come through the. Mic, I made it myself.
