  Happy Halloween, everybody. Welcome to this Halloween edition here of four Finger Discount
• 0:19
  Extra here on the four Finger Discout Network. I am your host, Brendan
• 0:22
  Dando. I hope you're all having plenty of treats and enjoying many, many
• 0:25
  episodes of Trios of Horror, and it's exactly what we're going to be doing
• 0:28
  here today on four Finger Discount Extra. I have been joined once again by
• 0:32
  my man, Elliott J. O'Neill from the Simpsons Index podcast. You can
• 0:36
  find the link for all of these podcasts in the description of this pod.
• 0:39
  And since it's Halloween, we thought we'd go back and discuss our favorite horror
• 0:42
  parodies into Simpsons, and we've got a bit of a mixed message. He
• 0:47
  we discussed best parodies, he went with best parodies in horror have best horror
• 0:52
  parodies in the Simpsons, so it's a little bit of a mismatch there.
• 0:55
  He does a couple of ones that are not horror based, but you know,
• 0:57
  basically we're covering the best parodies mostly in the Treos of Horror franchise,
• 1:02
  because for many of us who grew up in the nineties, the Treos of
• 1:04
  Horror series was the series that introduced many of us to horror. You know,
• 1:08
  I didn't know what The Shining was. I didn't know what Nightmare and
• 1:11
  Elm Street was, And as we discussed in this pod, I still haven't
• 1:15
  seen The Shining, and either is Alliot, and I think there's probably many
• 1:17
  Simpsons fans out there who haven't seen it because it's like, well, I've
• 1:19
  seen The Shitting and it's such a great parody. I don't need to see
• 1:23
  The Shining. I don't know. I know there's fans of The Shining at
• 1:26
  there saying no, no, Dana, you definitely need to watch that movie,
• 1:27
  and I will one day, but I just haven't watched it yet.
• 1:30
  Of course, I've seen the night Maro Nol Streets franchise, because we all
• 1:33
  have a bit of our Freddie Krueger of Anyway, before we get into today's

  best horror parodies in the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror. So let's sit back and
• 2:31
  enjoy my conversation with one Alliot Joe O'Neill from the Amazing Simpsons Index podcast.
• 2:43
  So we're recording this on Halloween Eve. Mister O'Neill, what are your plans
• 2:46
  for Halloween this year? I'm going to see Sparks at the Sydney Opera House.
• 2:51
  Do you know the band Sparks. I do not know the band Sparks.
• 2:53
  No, they are not that spooky at all. But Edgar Wright did
• 2:58
  a documentary on them few years ago now came out during Lockdown. But yeah,
• 3:04
  it's just this band that have been around since I think the late sixties.
• 3:07
  It's this brother duo and h This documentary just details this band that like
• 3:14
  almost broke through the big time but always like had a pretty sure footing in
• 3:17
  mostly the English music scene, but incredibly prolific, like something ridiculous like thirty
• 3:23
  odd albums. And there was a stretch recently where they played a different album
• 3:29
  in full every night at the London Hammersmith, I believe. And yeah,
• 3:34
  they just insanely talented musicians. And yeah, since that documentary became one of
• 3:38
  my favorite bands. So yeah, into entertaining the trick or Traders and then
• 3:43
  shooting out to the Opera House for a very non thematic concert. I was
• 3:47
  gonna say, you one of those guys that just tries to avoid the trick
• 3:50
  or treats, gonna say, are you doing this to avoid the trick or
• 3:52
  treating? No? I love it. I love it so much like Halloween
• 3:55
  is a holiday I can really get behind because we didn't get it as kids.
• 4:01
  That's why, you know. Yeah, fully, it's like finally,
• 4:04
  you know. Yeah, And I always sort of lived in semi rural areas
• 4:08
  where just going trick or treating was just impractical, like it'd be snatched.
• 4:14
  Yeah, exactly, all walking five kilometers to go to three houses, none
• 4:17
  of neew oh, it's the thirty first of October and halla, what you
• 4:20
  say is actually tobias fully fully but yeah, so yeah, when I moved
• 4:30
  into yeah, a more dense area, yeah, I embraced it fully.
• 4:33
  And at my previous house in Castle Hill, a huge suburban area, like
• 4:41
  every Halloween we'd get like over three hundred kids coming by our house. Yeah,
• 4:46
  it was so cool, and they'd put in a lot of effort,
• 4:48
  and I don't know, maybe it was like two hundred kids, and like
• 4:51
  one hundred were really savvy and realized I have the memory of a goldfish.
• 4:55
  So they could drop by, changed costumes, vand the corner and came back
• 4:59
  exactly, No, because I know kids do that more often, just have
• 5:02
  like costumes that it's practical to easily get changed out of and go in the
• 5:05
  corner, get changing and come back again again with the amount of kids that
• 5:09
  pass through, I wouldn't have known. I'd seen so many costumes that it
• 5:12
  all becomes a blur. And yeah, I was one of those yeah full
• 5:15
  candy bar houses as well. And one year I went to way too much
• 5:19
  effort and did like little lollibags as well, with like, yeah, a
• 5:23
  couple of things and like a little toy that will break in like five seconds.
• 5:27
  But yeah, I really get into it. Now that I've moved into
• 5:30
  like closer to the city, I'm sort of like on the outskirts of the
• 5:33
  Sydney City. Yeah, I'm expecting a big one this year as well.
• 5:38
  And yeah, now that we're out of the lockdown years, Yeah, I'm
• 5:42
  really excited this year. Where we live is like the golf course of the
• 5:46
  state, right And for some reason, I don't know why they do this,
• 5:47
  but they block it off so that kids who aren't from the estate coun
• 5:50
  come in, so it's like the estate only trick or treating. I guess
• 5:53
  they just I don't know why they do this, but they trying to keep
• 5:56
  like a communal kind of feel here. It's nice because you always see the
• 5:59
  same kids and it does sort of I know, I don't agree with it,
• 6:01
  but also I can see the positives because it helps you sort of meets
• 6:04
  your neighbors. Yeah, yeah, no, that's good. So yeah,
• 6:09
  you guys have been there for a while. You guys get into it as
• 6:11
  well. Well, we've been here for nine years and they only did the
• 6:14
  I feel chicken treating has only really taken off the last three or four,
• 6:16
  don't you think, like probably taken off pretty COVID. There was a couple
• 6:19
  of years COVID that we shall never speak of that again. That was like
• 6:24
  three years of her life we didn't get back. If you pretend COVID ever
• 6:26
  happened, I reckon it's been like five or so years where like trick or
• 6:30
  treating has been an actual thing. I love it, and the kids love
• 6:31
  it. They're really excited to get dressed up. I think because I've got
• 6:33
  two small kids, I use them as an excuse to sort of get into
• 6:36
  it as well. Yeah, but do you have like a Halloween tradition?
• 6:40
  Because people listening to this, I'm dropping this on actual Halloween the thirty first
• 6:44
  of what to what's your Halloween tradition? Because for me, I always drop
• 6:46
  a couple of treouse of Horrors. Yeah, i'dn't even thought about that.
• 6:50
  I like, I've gotten a projector and thought, oh maybe yeah, while
• 6:56
  the trick of trading's happening, I'll like play Treehouse of Horrors and just hanging
• 6:59
  out at the front of my house. And then like we're not on the
• 7:01
  last pod. Yeah, oh yeah, that's right, and yeah with the
• 7:03
  Gory Pod, and it's like, actually, that's probably not a great idea.
• 7:06
  Some of those segments can get a bit grim, and you know,
• 7:11
  as much as yeah, we like to embrace the spooky on Halloween, and
• 7:14
  there's still a few kids out there who it's quite confronting for still, Like,
• 7:17
  if you haven't checked out our previous conversation for Halloween episodes, we a
• 7:20
  couple of weeks ago we did the gorious deaths, you know, almost gruesome
• 7:24
  deaths in Triosophia, which is a lot of fun. But today we're going
• 7:26
  to be covering just the best Simpsons horror parodies. And it doesn't necessarily mean
• 7:29
  in tries of horror, although ninety five percent of them are in trios of
• 7:31
  Horror for obvious reasons. But there's been some horror parities throughout the show as
• 7:35
  well that I want to touch on. But yeah, so what was the
• 7:39
  first one that springs to mind for you when you think of Simpson's horror parodies?
• 7:42
  What's the one that's immediately when you say simpsons horror parodies come straight to
• 7:45
  your mind? My notes here, I've just written, obviously, the best
• 7:48
  is the Shinning, Like most of us, the most popular is the Shinning.
• 7:53
  Is it the best though? I think? I mean, of course
• 7:57
  I'm going to be coming at it not having what the shining still and actually
• 8:01
  having not watched a lot of the source material for a lot of these,
• 8:05
  but I mean as far as like a well realized parody and like because especially
• 8:11
  if you listen to the commentaries and whatever they're talking about the shots that you
• 8:13
  know, they were trying to replicate with Kubrick's thing and like Kubrick's particular like
• 8:20
  view of like a really introducing perspective into a shot and how he frames things,
• 8:26
  and they were really doing a lot of effort to yeah, imitate that
• 8:30
  style and everything. I think that's I think that's another one where like it's
• 8:35
  you know, when you go to a museum and you see a piece of
• 8:37
  art and like, what the fuck's this? Then you read the plaque and
• 8:39
  it becomes that much more impressive. Like this is one especially that benefits from
• 8:43
  yeah, checking out the commentaries, kept checking out the supplemental feat probably checking
• 8:48
  out the movie itself as well. But I think it's just does what a
• 8:50
  good Simpsons parody should do is, yeah, recast the Simpsons so as these
• 8:56
  characters, but they still feel like the Simpsons. You know, it's not
• 9:00
  being the Jack Nis character. It's still horrmer. It's just that they're yeah,
• 9:05
  they're meeting them halfway right, one hundred percent. The thing is,
• 9:09
  you watch the shitting right now. I think there's many Simpsons fans out there
• 9:11
  who have gone, I don't need to watch the Shining. I've seen the
• 9:13
  Shinning. It's the same shit, Yeah exactly. It's seven minutes versus two
• 9:16
  hours. Yeah, you just feel like you've seen the movie because you've seen
• 9:20
  the shitting. Because you're watching you're like, if this is a not beat
• 9:22
  for beat ripoff of it or parody of it, it's like, well,
• 9:26
  I know the ending now, but you're you're right there with the visuals and
• 9:31
  things like that, and it's all subjective though, Like when I was asking
• 9:35
  the question, is it the best. It probably is the best in the
• 9:37
  sense that it's the most popular, and it's the one that seems to sort
• 9:41
  of spring to mind because it's got a great comedy with the no TV,
• 9:43
  no beer, they home with something something, So they took something that was
• 9:46
  so iconic and simpsonized it. But they did it so many different times throughout
• 9:50
  the throughout the segment, like the whole year. But they did the David
• 9:58
  let him in David Grandpa, Yeah, which was a great callback to the
• 10:01
  opening shot of that they left grab By behind, you know. Yeah,
• 10:05
  it was just it's so funny that segment. I'm glad we got that one.
• 10:09
  I had the way first because that is the most iconic him. I'm
• 10:11
  doing the currently on the Facebook page the best Treance of Horror segments, and
• 10:15
  it looks like the Shitting's going to win it, win it by a long
• 10:16
  marger. So I think next year we're going to do is the Shitting's are
• 10:20
  going to be out of it, and then we'll have the contest again and
• 10:22
  then we'll have the win the victor of that one versus the Shinning. Yeah.
• 10:26
  I still think the Shitning will probably stillin thee seems to be the one
• 10:28
  that everyone remembers and loves the most, isn't it. Yeah? Absolutely,
• 10:31
  But like the other thing is, like over my Patreon page for my Simpsons
• 10:37
  podcast, we review the DVD box sets and the bonus features there in and
• 10:41
  we were surprised because, like in the atomatic or storyboard version of this,
• 10:46
  like there was this running John Denver gag that got cut. Like I think
• 10:52
  there's like a remnants of it still in there, but it was just this
• 10:54
  repeated gag and just like the basic punchline was that John Denver sucks, like
• 11:00
  and it was just this really interesting thing and just goes back to the sort
• 11:03
  of doomsday process that the Simpsons hauld go through to really refine their episodes and
• 11:09
  make them funny on every single repeat, because yeah, they've talked about in
• 11:13
  the past. You know, if it wasn't funny on the thirtieth time,
• 11:15
  you know, we cut it. And that's I think what makes the Shinning
• 11:20
  so great, and especially yeah, go back and check out the animatic version
• 11:24
  and see how much it changed and how tighter it got, because yeah,
• 11:28
  like we were saying, you know, you're cramming an entire movie into a
• 11:33
  seven minute segment and Yeah, these sorts of cuts are so necessary, and
• 11:37
  I think, yeah, having seen that is another reason that the Shinning stands
• 11:41
  out, because it is just such a tight, funny segment where every bit
• 11:46
  is necessary. Am I imagining things or because I've watched those delivereds scenes and
• 11:50
  things so often that they're like in the episode of my mind? Yeah?
• 11:54
  But is the scene where Home is eating in the fridge and most sends in
• 11:58
  the guls to drake out is that in the actual episode or was that a
• 12:01
  deleted scene as well? No, that's in the episode. That was one
• 12:03
  where I was like, what the fuck actually happened there? Yeah, the
• 12:09
  universal vers and monsters, I like, for some reason I remember that being
• 12:11
  like a deleted Is it like an extended version of that scene or something in
• 12:13
  the deleted scenes? Yeah? Possibly, Yeah, I think so that that
• 12:16
  was one where I was like, they need a bit more context for this
• 12:20
  one. But yeah, but yeah, that one is absolutely iconic. And
• 12:24
  yeah, just you're touching earlier with the shots. I always loved the shot
• 12:28
  where the kids are running and Mudge running away in the snow. It's like
• 12:31
  a bird's eye view and you can just see the distance when homies like he's
• 12:35
  gaining on them. I just thought that was just so scary as a kid,
• 12:37
  I'm like, holy shit, imagine having to try and run away from
• 12:39
  this guy who's this monster in snow. Running on sand is bad enough in
• 12:43
  snow. Yeah, yeah, Oh, they make their sense of danger so
• 12:48
  great, and like yeah, doing things like imitating the score of the movie
• 12:52
  as well, like that absolutely epic score. Like all these little touches are
• 12:58
  just so important, and it's just nice when you sort of see a fandom
• 13:01
  shine through their work like this, like in the parody form where it's like
• 13:07
  it's less of parody and more like an homage, you know. Yeah,
• 13:11
  Now I want to touch on one that's arguably the most iconic horror movie of
• 13:13
  all time. But these are all from episodes that aren't trees of horror.
• 13:18
  These a Marges's Psycho Oh right, yeah, so you know Skinner looking at
• 13:24
  the window and talking to mother in the house, Maggie hitting home with the
• 13:30
  mallet, that's the most popular one, but the and like the Homer laying
• 13:33
  and next to the drain with the paint going down the drain, things like
• 13:35
  that in the garage and the Springfield Files when they play the Psycho music on
• 13:41
  the bus the orchestra. Yeah, that's right. So yeah, so I
• 13:45
  just thought we need to acknowledge the ones that aren't and tries of horrors as
• 13:48
  well, because I think the hom aren't getting hit with the mallet by Maggie
• 13:52
  that used to get played on all the clip shows as well, and so
• 13:54
  that I thought that was like one that we had to mention. Was that
• 13:58
  the Dando origin story as well that got you banned from The Simpsons or we
• 14:01
  can touch on that one and live well now if you'll like to Bad dream
• 14:03
  House in the Midiville Horror, which is also I think of take on Poltergeist
• 14:07
  as well. But Maggie goes to the kitchen and gets the knife out of
• 14:09
  the drawer and that's what Yeah, no, I am actually thinking. I
• 14:15
  think I'm thinking of another friend who the hammer scene from yeah March versus Itchy
• 14:20
  and Scratchy. So it's prisoner than now living in Yeah, that's it.
• 14:24
  It's the direct line from The Simpsons to there like yeah, so yeah,
• 14:31
  yeah, Psycho argue with the most iconic horror movie of all time, so
• 14:33
  worthy even mentioned. But yeah, so Bad dream House is another one in
• 14:37
  the Midivill Horror. That's a good parody as well. You watch. I
• 14:39
  appreciate that one a lot more as an adult because it's not necessarily gory.
• 14:43
  I think I enjoyed as silly as it sounds. As a kid, I
• 14:45
  enjoyed sort of like the violence sort of side of things, which treos of
• 14:48
  horror, but just things like The Raven and Bad dream House. I appreciate
• 14:50
  a lot more as a good older now. The Raven is, yeah,
• 14:54
  one is a kid, where like I'd even be annoyed that that one came
• 14:58
  on as one hundred percent I was like, what is this? Yeah,
• 15:03
  but no, as an adult, it's like it is such a well formed,
• 15:05
  like it's it's not even really a parody, isn't It's just like almost
• 15:11
  as like just it is the Raven. It's it's barely like the Simpsons in
• 15:16
  it, Like, yeah, Homer certainly doesn't talk like that. But I
• 15:18
  did love the shot of Marge with the hair with the paintings that it needs
• 15:22
  an extra picture for Marge's hair. Yeah, that's it. But they introduced
• 15:24
  like little Simpsons things into it, like yeah, the Bart Raven itself like
• 15:31
  being a bit like barti ish, but yeah, that one introduced like what
• 15:35
  a swing introducing Edgar Allan Poe to a bunch of an audience, who a
• 15:39
  cartoon watching audience, And we don't give the Simpsons or like now, actually
• 15:43
  we do, we give we give them enough credit for introducing kids to you
• 15:48
  know, the most kind of things are pop culture, like Edgar Allan Poe.
• 15:50
  But it felt like in that first Treeouse of Horror they weren't really sure
• 15:54
  that he'd go full gore and violence, doesn't it because none of the segments
• 15:56
  are that violent. No, no, And and like you said with Bad
• 16:00
  dream House, it's more about the dread and the fear of what might happen,
• 16:03
  and then hungry are the damned? It's yeah, the alien thing,
• 16:08
  which just ends up being a massive subversion, and yeah, the raven thing
• 16:12
  is yeah, more another dread thing. Yeah yeah, So there's no actual
• 16:17
  violence really in that first one. It's just the fear of But what's another
• 16:19
  one you wanted to touch on? Well, yeah, you're mentioning Psycho before
• 16:22
  just trailing on from the Hitchcock references. I think I brought this up in
• 16:26
  the last one as well. So it's from Treehouse of Horror twenty it's one
• 16:30
  of my I think probably my favorite most modern Treehouse of Horror segment is dial
• 16:36
  m for murder or press hash to return to the main menu. This is
• 16:40
  a parody of strangers on a train, but it's Bart and Lisa doing each
• 16:45
  other's murders for you know, miss Hoover and Miss Crabapple respectively. Lisa misinterprets
• 16:52
  and she just thought, because Bart says, yeah, we'll just didn't ditch
• 16:56
  them and he means kill, she just thought, you know, do a
• 17:00
  knock and run sort of prank on them, and so yeah, Bart comes
• 17:03
  back with missus Hoover's head and she's like, oh, what the fuck and
• 17:06
  he's like, hey, now you have to do my murder you. And
• 17:10
  I think this is just like a really well done parody, especially like the
• 17:14
  whole thing's in black and white. We're talking about score again as well.
• 17:18
  It's a real Hitchcock esque score, and you know, if you want Hitchcock
• 17:22
  references as well, they have this chase scene which is just basically them running
• 17:27
  through a bunch of Hitchcock references, which I don't know, you can probably
• 17:30
  take as lazy or whatever, but I think it's a really loving tribute and
• 17:36
  it's just such a well realized script and the story is great, Like it's
• 17:41
  one of these things where, yeah, they get the main beats of the
• 17:44
  movie and condense it down into a really compelling segment. And yeah, I
• 17:48
  honestly say, I don't really recall that one. Or does she accidentally kill
• 17:52
  bat at the end? Yeah, yeah, so I think at the end
• 17:55
  of the chase scene there's an accidental decapitation and then crab Bubble's like, ah,
• 18:00
  finally, and then Lisa's like, oh, I meant to do that
• 18:02
  the whole time. It does one of those sort of hokey endings, but
• 18:04
  yeah, yeah, but it sounds great. You have to go back and
• 18:07
  a visit that when I can't even when I did my research for the gory
• 18:10
  deaths, somehow missed that one. Yeah, Like Treehouse of Honor at twenty
• 18:15
  I think it's final segment lets it down. It's like a Sweeney Todd parody
• 18:21
  with Mo and Homer's no business like Mo business. Yeah yeah, So,
• 18:26
  like Homer dies in his basement hooked up to a bunch of beer things,
• 18:29
  but then he finds the beer actually makes his Homer's blood makes the beer taste
• 18:33
  nice, and especially Marge loves it and then falls in love with Mo.
• 18:37
  But there's this weird musical segment in it where Mo makes the excuse for Homer's
• 18:42
  death that he left Marge to go be gay, and it just it's screaming
• 18:48
  twenty years ago. Yeah, actually does have one of one that I really
• 18:52
  enjoy as well as don't have a cow mankind. Yeah, yeah, I
• 18:56
  think I brought that up as an ooral, but we'll mention in the gory
• 18:59
  ones as well. That's such a good zombie parody. Yeah, that's a
• 19:02
  takeoff. It's just any zombie movie, but I think more twenty eight days
• 19:03
  later, right, that's more, Yeah, more in that sort of yeah
• 19:07
  feel, And yeah, it's so much different from the zombie segment from the
• 19:11
  classic eras. And yeah, definitely well worth checking out twenty like one hundred
• 19:15
  percent. Yeah, another non treus of horror when they wanted to touch on
• 19:19
  was now it's not necessarily a horror movie, but it gives you horror vibes.
• 19:23
  Is Cape Fear. Yeah, it's true because obviously the take off of
• 19:27
  the film, but also the acknowledgement of Homer with the hockey mask. Yeah,
• 19:30
  Jason bade style just that Friday the third series just made hockey masks so
• 19:36
  terrifying, didn't they. Yeah, Yeah, I was surprised because, yeah,
• 19:41
  I watched Friday the thirteenth for the first time, like a decade and
• 19:42
  a half ago. The hockey mask isn't even in the first one. It's
• 19:47
  not in until the fourth one. I believe, Wow, because was it
• 19:49
  a third one. That's a third one. It's a third one, yeah,
• 19:52
  because the second one is just Jason with a bag over his head.
• 19:56
  Yeah right. It's just weird because it's such an iconic bit of you know,
• 20:00
  a horror costume. You know, there's always going to be a trick
• 20:03
  or trader doing the Hockey Master. It's an easy one to throw together as
• 20:07
  well. Yeah. I took a treat to once rocked up and the mum
• 20:11
  was just there with a kid, but she had this like old look and
• 20:14
  cart again on She's like, I'm Jason's mother, and I'm like, that's
• 20:15
  a kick ass glows gym Jason's mother. But she had like basically like the
• 20:21
  it was like a sweater. Her head was in the sweater, but had
• 20:22
  like a de captain and headlock hanging off the side. Oh that's good.
• 20:26
  Oh that's very good. But yes, also yeah, so Cape Fear just
• 20:32
  in itself, the film not a horror film, but it's it's pretty scary.
• 20:36
  Oh yeah, oh god, is it not a horror? I guess
• 20:38
  it's more of a thriller, like it's a psycho thriller. I guess you
• 20:41
  could say, yeah, yeah, yeah, just one of my favorite movies
• 20:45
  growing up as well, and like totally because of Cape Fear the Simpsons,
• 20:51
  Like was watching that and I think, yeah, my dad goes, oh,
• 20:53
  we've got the VHS of that. Yeah, and absolutely scared the piss
• 20:56
  out of me. I don't know what he was thinking showing me that movie,
• 21:00
  but like, do you look back at EA childhood sometimes and go what
• 21:03
  were my parents thinking? Oh? One hundred percent? Like I remember watching
• 21:08
  RoboCop from an early age, you know, like Kinney's Death. Yeah,
• 21:14
  no, seriously, Like Dada introduced me to South Park as well, Like
• 21:17
  he came, he like came into the rooms, like you've got to check
• 21:19
  out this cartoon, switches it to SBS. It's like there's a singing Christmas
• 21:22
  poove. We got to watch this. I remember when this isn't wasn't South
• 21:29
  Park. It reminded me of what my dad introduced me to, something not
• 21:30
  introducing but like allowing me to get swearing. It was the Offspring's Americana album
• 21:34
  Oh yeah, being insanity and the girl by the Canna's like just letting you
• 21:38
  know. It's got a warning course language sticker. And here I was clearly
• 21:41
  like ten, not even ten, and Dad's like looked at me, looked
• 21:45
  at the girl, looked back at me, and he's like, don't tell
• 21:47
  your mother. Yes, oh that rules. But yeah, what were we
• 21:53
  touching? Ok? Fear because it's almost like the shinning of Nontreos of Horror,
• 21:57
  isn't it, where it's just a beat for beats sort of take off
• 22:00
  of the film, but in a real Simpsons style. Yeah, well,
• 22:04
  I mean the actual Cape Fear is so much more grim, and I feel
• 22:10
  like that they still like have the appropriate amount of levity throughout the Cape Fear
• 22:14
  episode, and it's setting the precedent that Yeah Sidechho Bob's like theme music is
• 22:19
  the Cape theme music as well, And yeah, just doing again all those
• 22:26
  shots, all the score and just doing the right amount of imitation to show
• 22:30
  love and reverence towards this thing. Because it's a score sazy as well,
• 22:34
  isn't it that? Yeah, sure is. And like you read the opening
• 22:37
  line, it's like in prison for raping a young girl, and you're like,
• 22:40
  oh shit, yeah yeah, so obviously that I thought the way the
• 22:44
  Simpsons handled that was so good that you're saying that the music, you hear
• 22:47
  that music and you think of Sijo Bob, but it's not said Jo Bob's
• 22:49
  music. It's the Cape thear music exactly exactly. But also about Kelsey Grumm
• 22:53
  did to show how talent he is, like with the singing at the end
• 22:57
  with the Pinafore and things like that, Like what an episode, What a
• 23:02
  wild left turn for that to take? And I know right and again talking
• 23:07
  about reading the plaque and going back and listening to the commentaries, this was
• 23:10
  an episode where they were severely under time with it and they had to do
• 23:15
  a bunch of things in it to extend out the episode. And it's funny
• 23:18
  because like it's often things that like I'll criticize in new episodes. It's like,
• 23:22
  Okay, clearly your episode was running short, so you took this gag
• 23:26
  and you know, stretched it for an uncomfortable amount of time. But this
• 23:29
  episode like did like the quintessential versions of those things, you know, talking
• 23:33
  mister Thompson bit and the fucking rate gag, and these are just like amazing,
• 23:38
  like quintessential Simpsons, but like not the elephants that just unnecessarily drag out
• 23:45
  the episode, but like they're still so funny and it still feels so tight,
• 23:49
  Like yeah, it's just the Thompson's in his stuff. It's just such
• 23:52
  a great gag. You forget how many great gags are in that one episode,
• 23:56
  like but do with some brands before you go to bed. Yeah,
• 23:57
  Thompson's the just yeah, unbelievable episode. Yeah, so great, but yeah,
• 24:03
  still having the fear and dread and still making Sideshow Bob like a really
• 24:07
  scary villain as well. And yeah, I think he's the scariest in that
• 24:11
  episode, don't you think? Oh yeah, I think everything else is.
• 24:15
  Yeah, it's definitely way more sillier or it's just fleeting super villain he like
• 24:19
  from a comic book as opposed to like this guy looks like he just wants
• 24:22
  to kill this kid. Yeah, yeah, because yeah, Krusty gets Bustard.
• 24:26
  It's barely like any of that side of side show Bob in it and
• 24:30
  then Black Widow yeah as well. We don't even get a glimpse of it
• 24:33
  until the end. We're sort of led to believe he's rehabbed and everything.
• 24:36
  Yeah, well a crust the guests bust is more of just like a mastermind
• 24:40
  who not necessarily wants to kill, just wants to get back at somebody.
• 24:42
  Yeah, that's it. It's not until Cape Fear that he turns and is
• 24:45
  yeah, starting to send letters in blood like oh, we could die bad
• 24:51
  die as well, yeah exactly, which, Oh, I'm learning German at
• 24:55
  the moment, because yeah, I'm going to Germany next year. I've found
• 24:59
  out like di e is like because some languages have like masculine and feminine sort
• 25:07
  of languages. Yeah, that's the German the for a feminine article, which
• 25:11
  it's even funny for masculine. Yeah. Yeah, I was just a lie
• 25:15
  and it's like, oh wow, even yes, thirty some years later,
• 25:18
  I'm still getting new things out of this episode. That's goodread. Thing about
• 25:22
  it though, is it's just like, as a writer of The Simpsons,
• 25:25
  you'd be like, well, he was just improving on the spot. Yeah.
• 25:27
  Yeah, And the people in Spirit are so stupid they didn't realize exactly.
• 25:33
  Can we talk about one that's just going a lot further in the contest
• 25:37
  we're doing on the Facebook page. And I thought, And then I look
• 25:41
  back at the segment, I was like, I can see why. It's
• 25:42
  the child's play parody of clown without pity. Yeah, right, I,
• 25:47
  as a kid used to be genuinely scared from this one. It's not necessarily
• 25:52
  any like Gore in it that I can recall, but just the idea of
• 25:55
  toys coming to life and trying to kill you, Yeah, and no one
• 25:57
  believing you. That's the no one believing you that that someone's trying to kill
• 26:00
  you, That would be the most terrifying part. Yeah. But it's like
• 26:06
  the doll's trying to kill me in the tops has been laughing at me.
• 26:08
  That's a joke that just slip under the vade up for me for seventy years,
• 26:11
  and when I was older, I was like, holy shit, I
• 26:12
  need to go back. Did he just say that? Yeah? Well,
• 26:15
  I mean yeah, because it's Homer and he's so silly and like yeah,
• 26:18
  yeah, like crusty doll appearing in the bath and then him running through naked
• 26:22
  and how great is that? Uh and yeah, yeah, you're right,
• 26:30
  and like when he eventually does, like it is apparent that oh yeah,
• 26:34
  the doll is trying to kill him and and like he's just choking him,
• 26:37
  Like it's just it's so sinister and his teeth like the little pointy, crusty
• 26:41
  teeth. Yeah, yep. And such a clever but simple ending too,
• 26:47
  you got this thing set to evil. Yeah, there's no sort of like
• 26:51
  you know, possessed anything like that. It's just no, he'll set to
• 26:52
  evil. Yeah, just and one of those like almost a fuck your ending,
• 26:57
  But also like it it's so inherently funny, like why was this even
• 27:03
  a setting? Like I know, right, and that also gives us the
• 27:06
  that's good, that's bad? Yeah, oh true, I want Yeah,
• 27:11
  is that a specific parody of something? Kind of? I think it's just
• 27:15
  that them padding out a it seems like something that sort of they riffed in
• 27:19
  the writer's room, know, like this is too funny to not put in,
• 27:22
  even though it doesn't have any like parody or any reference to Charles play.
• 27:26
  Yeah, Like I think it is like a bit of a trope as
• 27:29
  well, like the you know, the item will carry a terrible because I
• 27:33
  mean We see it in the like Monkeys Poor episode as well, which is
• 27:36
  just, yeah, why do you even have this on sale if there's a
• 27:38
  Well, he always reminded me of the guy from Gremlins. Yes, he's
• 27:45
  the rules kind of thing, and I know the guy has actually say those
• 27:48
  in the actual film, but like he was giving me those kind of vibes
• 27:51
  that still gives me like the vibes from Gremlins. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah,
• 27:55
  So I think that's another thing that I'll touch on, especially later,
• 27:57
  is just like the general sort of TIChE that they'll do in these Treehouse of
• 28:02
  Horror segments and yeah, the haunted store clerk, yeah, is definitely one
• 28:07
  of those. Yeah, what's another one for you? I'm going to see
• 28:11
  a fucking trail on a segway from that very elegantly, but I think I've
• 28:17
  ruined that possibility by pointing it out. Actually, yeah, I'll throw out
• 28:21
  two from Treehouse of Horror ten Desperately Zeking Zena, which is like, I've
• 28:26
  actually become really fascinated with this like pre MCU superhero parody genre. Like again,
• 28:33
  to bring up my Patreon, we review movies that star the cast of
• 28:37
  the Simpsons, and in recent times, we've reviewed both Mystery Men from ninety
• 28:41
  ninety nine. Gazari is the not the fucking Gluy what was he? He's
• 28:45
  the Blue Raja, the Blue Raja, that's right, yes, yeah,
• 28:48
  he has the power to manipulate cutlery and chooses not to use knives. Yes,
• 28:53
  ayah, very good. And then Superhero Movie, which I surprisingly liked,
• 29:00
  like in the same like line if you know the Scary movie, Epic
• 29:03
  Movie and all those pieces of shit. This one was actually surprisingly good.
• 29:07
  But it was like more of a parody on like Sam Raimi, Spider Man
• 29:11
  and Fantastic Four, and yeah, similarly, this is a superhero parody coming
• 29:17
  out before like the MCU would come out and redefine what superhero content was.
• 29:22
  Also, they saw superhero movies. It's just like kitty stuff, didn't they
• 29:26
  a lot of the time. It's just if you like superheroes, you were
• 29:29
  immature where I am in really turned the tables for that, Yeah, absolutely,
• 29:32
  Well even before that, it was like, yeah, really Tim Burton's
• 29:34
  Batman, like reimagining Batman as like a gritty, grimy thing. Well it
• 29:41
  got ruined by the end though, you know, oh yeah, by the
• 29:42
  end of the nineties, people not have forgoten about those movies, but Batman
• 29:45
  once again became the cartoony shoemaker exactly. That's got to say, Yeah,
• 29:52
  I love those movies because I grew up with them, but I can appreciate
• 29:53
  how people who just who are old enough to enjoy the the visual Batman's would
• 29:57
  have gone what the fuck is this? Yeah? But yeah, so I
• 30:03
  really like this one because yeah, it's not doing like a specific parody,
• 30:07
  Like it's sort of Fantastic fourish in the sense that like it's Barton Lisa who
• 30:12
  a family getting their superpowers, and Barts like stretchy and Lisa's like strong light
• 30:18
  the thing. So like, I guess you could call it Fantastic four,
• 30:22
  but it is like more of a like, yeah, a campy superhero parody
• 30:26
  where it's just a bit more general And it's another one of these things where
• 30:30
  I really love the casting off it all, Like with Yeah, comic book
• 30:33
  guy is the collector, and I think, like, independent of late parody
• 30:37
  or anything, that's just a very good idea for a horror comic book villain
• 30:41
  is the obsessive yeah, toy collector with the death at the end as well,
• 30:48
  exactly, and keeping the actors in mint condition in my liart, Like
• 30:53
  that is so morbid and like that is such a fucked up thing to do,
• 30:57
  but like I could imagine like actually happening in a serious horror movie.
• 31:03
  And but and yeah, comic book guys just commitment to the bit as well,
• 31:07
  where even in death he wants to do a reference to a thing like
• 31:11
  stress dudent club a girl. Yeah, that's it and the song is so
• 31:15
  good. Yeah and yeah, and yeah, I'll throw in a quick side
• 31:18
  mentioned to the Futurama episode what is It Less Than a Hero where Frian Lela
• 31:25
  gets superpowers and Bender just joins the group because he can, because he wants
• 31:27
  to. Yeah that, Like, I know that one gets a mixed reaction
• 31:33
  because it feels like a non canon episode in a lot of ways, but
• 31:36
  it's it's such a good episode of Futurama, so fucking funny. Yeah.
• 31:40
  Treats of Horror ten. Is that the one that had I'm just looking through
• 31:42
  the three sevements, had the Y two K one, didn't it? Uh?
• 31:45
  Yeah, yeah, but the first segment of that one, I believe
• 31:48
  it is, Yes, it is. It's one I wanted to mention.
• 31:51
  I know what you ditterly Italy did, which is a seventh that I don't
• 31:55
  think gets talked about anywhere near enough. I always because I am a child
• 31:59
  with the nineties, so I think we all remember that. I know it
• 32:01
  did Last Summer franchise right when you were in your nineties kid, This guy
• 32:06
  with a hook, scary stuff, right, Yeah, you watch it now
• 32:07
  and it's kind of like, yeah, I can see why people laugh at
• 32:09
  these films, but there were big films in the nineties, and it was
• 32:13
  a bit of nostalgia for me when I watched this one, because you don't
• 32:15
  hear anyone really talking about the I know he did Last Summer Franchise, that
• 32:19
  all that. Often I feel like we're in You're gonna probably gonna get a
• 32:22
  reboot soon. You sort of feel like we're in that sort of era of
• 32:23
  reboots. Thats the film's probably gonna get rebootedbe even like a series even.
• 32:28
  But I just enjoyed Flanders being the Killer MM, which we hadn't seen up
• 32:32
  to this point, which I thought it was just a really really unique spin
• 32:35
  and for some reason, as a kid, Homer singing the guests, if
• 32:37
  you gud to put the fog arts in absolutely slavy slay me. I think
• 32:42
  so similar with the Devil and Homer Simpson as well, like recasting, like
• 32:45
  this opportunity to recast Flanders as these evil characters or villains or whatever, like
• 32:52
  it does become so much more unsettling, and like some of his mannerisms like
• 32:58
  really translate and because enjoys it. Yeah yeah, and it's become oh yeah,
• 33:02
  these same things of this like very wholesome person like could be creepy when
• 33:07
  you recontextualize it, like yeah, And I apologize listeners, but I still
• 33:12
  have not watched the Flanders episode, the horror one from a couple of years
• 33:15
  ago where to take on Fargo. Oh yeah, yeah, a serious Flanders.
• 33:22
  Any good? I heard it's great. It's a two parter. Again,
• 33:24
  I think it was like a bit oversold for me because I thought it
• 33:27
  was fine. But again I don't think it needed to be two parts.
• 33:30
  But like I do think, I think I do think of modern Simpsons,
• 33:36
  if something's like pretty good, they oversaw it like it's amazing because they're so
• 33:39
  used to comparing it to what's been coming. Because there was an era there,
• 33:44
  say, from like twenty three through to like twenty eight ish where it
• 33:46
  was just like, it's not that great as it used to be. And
• 33:50
  as a Simpsons fan, it's okay to acknowledge Simpsons isn't as good as it
• 33:52
  once was. I do feel the last couple of seasons have been pretty good.
• 33:54
  You know, I've really enjoyed the last couple of seasons was a serious
• 33:59
  fans that was about two years ago, right, two or three years yeah,
• 34:01
  something around there. I think it was a thirty three or thirty two
• 34:05
  one. Yeah. I think it feels like the ones that are sort of
• 34:07
  non canon esque seem to be the ones that get the most hype now because
• 34:10
  they're different. And yeah, like last season, I feel like there was
• 34:15
  like I think like eight or nine episodes that were like non canon episodes,
• 34:19
  and it almost feels like the Simpsons rioters are gone. Okay, how do
• 34:22
  we get the most hype for this show? Let's do ones in a non
• 34:23
  cannon and ones. It feels like a very special, unique episode because they
• 34:27
  did so many of them last season. Yeah, and I mean they worked
• 34:30
  a varying effect. I know that one which is like almost like a clip
• 34:35
  show with the hackers overtaking. Yeah, least of the boy Scout. I
• 34:38
  believe that got like a lot of hype. Like I found it like a
• 34:43
  fucking confusing mess. But like I think the Good Ones podcast really like got
• 34:47
  behind that one. And yeah, the writer of the host of that podcast
• 34:52
  did a big article for Vultures, you know, declaring the Simpsons are back
• 34:55
  and all that fucking bullshit that you get. But I think sometimes and I'd
• 35:01
  mentioned this on my chat with Warren Butt of Darkness Warren Evans, who's got
• 35:06
  a new book at the moment about Simpsons merchandise. It's pre order it now,
• 35:09
  But we're sort of saying, how, you know, I feel like
• 35:12
  sometimes these super fans or people who do other podcasts or things like that just
• 35:16
  go a bit over the top because it's like it's like an inn with the
• 35:21
  show, like it's okay to save in episodes, not that great, you
• 35:24
  know, and it's not anything You're just gonna be honest, you know,
• 35:29
  I'll honestly say that, like I watched the new Simpsons and I enjoy them.
• 35:31
  Are they as good as they once wear? No, let's not go
• 35:34
  over the top and say, oh, they're back and the greatest thing ever.
• 35:37
  And it's just like, do you really believe that. Yeah, well,
• 35:39
  because I mean, Simpson's in the modern age. It's like, I
• 35:44
  think the writers probably struggle with this, And that's why there's so many of
• 35:46
  these parody or like non canon event episodes is because I mean it goes back
• 35:52
  to the Poochy episode. The characters just can't have the impact that they once
• 35:54
  had, So you know, how do we keep them relevant or how do
• 35:58
  we keep people excited about the show still? And Yeah, it's doing these
• 36:02
  extended things that I think, Yeah, is breathing a bit more life into
• 36:06
  it and giving them something a bit something different to hook their teeth into,
• 36:12
  which isn't yeah, beholden to any rules or whatever that should stick to the
• 36:16
  classic episodes. Like there was a recent episode called like My Life as av
• 36:20
  log which like retold the Simpson story is like as if they were influencers like
• 36:24
  YouTube stars or whatever like that, and yeah, of course that does not
• 36:29
  fit in with the cannon, but like, using that format, they were
• 36:31
  able to do a very unique episode that was yeah told through a series of
• 36:37
  YouTube videos and like led to some really interesting direction and stylistic choices that yeah,
• 36:43
  and yeah, similar with them doing the big extended it parody, which
• 36:47
  I didn't love. But I watched it and I was like, it just
• 36:51
  feels like I don't know. I watched it and I felt very underwhelmed at
• 36:54
  the end. Yeah, No, it was just a bit flat. But
• 36:58
  like I think, like from a stylistic perspective, I think I nailed it.
• 37:02
  Like I think it looked great. It's like again, the score sounded
• 37:07
  great. But yeah, just the material itself left me a bit wanting.
• 37:09
  Yeah. Same, Yeah, that was something I was going to bring up.
• 37:13
  Oh yes, so, and I hate being it because it makes me
• 37:15
  stuff. I'm talking myself up. But now, when I went for dinner
• 37:17
  that time with Matt Salmon and Phil Resenthal Right, So getting back to earlier
• 37:21
  how you were talking about trying to find ways to seem relevant. We're out
• 37:25
  dinner and we're sitting down at this place coming on what it's called, and
• 37:28
  the guy behind the but immediately recognizes the film. He's like somebody if you
• 37:31
  feel and you don't at the back and gets the chef and stuff. They
• 37:34
  come out. Theyre talk about and blah blah blah, and he's like,
• 37:36
  are you are you like the his producer is what he says to Matt,
• 37:38
  right, and then Phil goes, no, no, he's not not my
• 37:42
  producer. Do you you watch The Simpsons and the guy go They all go,
• 37:45
  na, no, I haven't watched it for a long time. Oh
• 37:50
  and Matt's like, story of my life. Matt's like, yeah, I'll
• 37:52
  get the chop liver. Thanks. Yeah. It was just like, oh
• 37:57
  my god, it's PILs and Thor are you the producer? No, No,
• 38:00
  I work on the Simpsons. Ah, I felt. I just sat
• 38:06
  in the middle, going, this is let's touch on another one, the
• 38:10
  one that I absolutely loved as a kid a daughter. I still do it
• 38:13
  to this day. We touched on it on our previous one with Gory Death's
• 38:16
  Death. Ah, say, is Nightmare on Evergreen Terrace with Nightmare on Elm
• 38:20
  Street? Yes, just in particular that opening shot, how it's just what's
• 38:24
  how would you look watercolor? I guess you could say the backgrounds and things
• 38:28
  like that. Yeah, there's no outlines, Yeah, yeah, it just
• 38:30
  it looked immediately, you know, it's something different, and just touched on
• 38:34
  the Nightmare on Elm Street series the other way it looked, but just the
• 38:37
  various ways that Willie would kill the kids and things like that. I just
• 38:42
  it's not necessarily a gory episode, but it's a scary one. Oh yeah,
• 38:45
  and especially like because we were saying last time as well, when Willie
• 38:52
  in the dream his tongue wraps around Martin and chokes him like that itself is
• 38:55
  very goofy, but it's like when it actually cuts to Martin experiencing the death
• 39:00
  in real life area, Yeah, that's way scarier than actually seeing like,
• 39:06
  yeah, groundskeeper Willy like probably put his hands around him. And I mean
• 39:08
  we're desensitized to that. We've been watching Homer do that to Bart for years,
• 39:12
  but yeah, having him experience it and then no one being able to
• 39:15
  do anything about it is terrifying. Yeah, I mean the death of Willy
• 39:20
  is pretty god but they do it in such a funny way that he sort
• 39:22
  of it takes the the I don't know what's the shock value out of it.
• 39:25
  You know, this guy's burning to death, Yeah, but actually see
• 39:30
  him burn to death. We've see him on fire, but when he's actually
• 39:32
  dying again, you just seen the people look at him with just such disdain
• 39:36
  as like, why are you interrupting this meeting? Yeah, Kirk needs to
• 39:39
  talk about the two Spaghetti Dinners come on. Yeah, yeah, but yeah,
• 39:43
  I just I thought that was one that we definitely to measure because it
• 39:45
  was just so great. I love it. Yeah, well again just recasting
• 39:49
  the Simpson's characters perfectly. There's I don't think you could have put anyone else
• 39:52
  besides groundskeeper Willy in that role. And it was like, I don't know,
• 39:58
  just the threatening Scottish accent to it or all, like it translated perfectly,
• 40:02
  you know what I was talking about of like taking the characters, taking
• 40:05
  a source material and finding a way to meet it, like in the middle
• 40:08
  somewhere, and it was just perfect, like and being able to use the
• 40:13
  grounds keeper tool sets in his kills as well, the rakes, the lawn
• 40:17
  mower, all that stuff like it it makes sense to the character and feels
• 40:22
  like more or less on theme with Freddie Freddy k Krueger as well. It
• 40:25
  just feels like too that Willy, of all the characters on the show,
• 40:30
  he seemed to be the one I always wanted to get revenge, Like the
• 40:32
  world's against him, like you know, it's against Willy, So it felt
• 40:36
  like he was the perfect fit as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah in
• 40:38
  Whacking Day as well. Yeah, I'll get you at the first chance I
• 40:42
  get or whatever. Escape what if they're dead, sir, Actually we should
• 40:50
  have mentioned at the start because our mayn Matthew Perry passed away yesterday. Yeah
• 40:54
  ri ip, fuck that. You know, many celebrity deaths that really like
• 41:00
  affect me. But for some reason, like you know, I felt so
• 41:05
  sad yesterday. I felt the world was sad, and I get it.
• 41:09
  Of all the cast members, he's probably the least shocking one to have gone
• 41:14
  this way, right, and it felt like, you know, this was
• 41:16
  inevitable in some way. As morbid as that sounds, especially when you read
• 41:22
  his book or you listen to his audio book and stuff, it just felt
• 41:24
  like he was such a sad person, which made me feel sad because he's
• 41:30
  brought so many laughs. But it's like when he passed away yesterday, it
• 41:34
  just felt like everyone was just like ah, because he was such a big
• 41:37
  part of our childhood growing up in the nighties, Like Friends was like when
• 41:40
  it comes to live action shows, so Simpsons was the biggest animation show.
• 41:45
  It was either Friends or Seinfeld, right, like they were the Simpsons of
• 41:49
  the sitcom world. Yeah, well, I mean I was actually talking about
• 41:53
  it. I was doing a stream yesterday with a bunch of people, and
• 41:57
  like we were saying, yeah, these like like it's perfectly normal to feel
• 42:01
  like the effect it even though we didn't know them personally and we sort of
• 42:05
  have these parasocial relationships. It's like, but yeah, when you look at
• 42:07
  it, like we spend a lot more time with them than we do a
• 42:10
  lot of people in our lives, and certainly in the case, like I
• 42:14
  wasn't a big fan of friends or anything, but like when they were always
• 42:19
  there exactly, and like I love the movies he was in. I was
• 42:22
  a big fan of Whole nine and Whole ten Yards when I was a kid,
• 42:25
  and like and when he like fifty four is still young man, and
• 42:30
  like these moments you're just like I think you still had some gas left in
• 42:36
  the tank. You know. It's just such a shame. Yeah, what's
• 42:38
  for the reason I'm sad about it too, is that it like when you
• 42:43
  realize what Dawns and you are, they can never like do another reunion.
• 42:46
  Yeah, it's when one's gone. It just feels like the whole thing's gone.
• 42:51
  And he was to me, we're doing obviously the one about friends podcast,
• 42:53
  and I'm revisiting the show, and I don't know. Everyone says that
• 42:58
  Russ and Rachel was the big store worry, but for me, I'm watching
• 43:00
  all guy. He's like the rock for this show for me, Like he's
• 43:02
  the one who actually keeps it entertaining. Yeah, yeah, the reliable one,
• 43:07
  like yeah, the like because I think, yeah, especially because like
• 43:10
  Joey and Phoebe were sort of a bit more out there characters as well,
• 43:14
  and like he was more of like the audience conduit in a lot of ways.
• 43:16
  Yeah, he was the most relatable for me. We'll go back to
• 43:20
  visiting it now as like a thirty five year old. He's definitely the most
• 43:22
  most relaitable. But I want to touch in him because he makes an appearance
• 43:25
  in House of Wax. Was it actually him? Is it not him?
• 43:30
  Oh? I just assumed it. It was like they like certain it was
• 43:35
  him, right, were doing the review for it. Le's go House of
• 43:37
  Wax. It's the takeoff of Demoncy. That's what the episode to take off
• 43:40
  of. Yeah, Matthew Perry as Matthew Perry. Oh that is so cool.
• 43:45
  I had no idea. Yeah, but yeah, sorry. Just to
• 43:50
  bring it quickly back to the Simpsons, because you know, yeah, he's
• 43:52
  the first of the six Friends to pass. But like, yeah, we
• 43:57
  haven't had to have that conversation about like the core six cast for his cast
• 44:01
  of The Simpsons yet, Like yeah, that's immediately what I thought of him,
• 44:06
  Like, wow, it feels like I've lost a member of the Simpsons
• 44:08
  cast because it's going to happen in probably in the next ten years, you'd
• 44:13
  think, wouldn't Yeah, I mean I think Harry Shearer is pushing eighty.
• 44:15
  It is like, yeah, they're they're it's surprising that they're still going,
• 44:21
  like yeah, and yeah, you do wonder how much the fan backlash would
• 44:25
  have been a few years ago if one of them passed and they tried to
• 44:29
  replace them. But you know they were going to do that when Harry Shearer
• 44:31
  quit the show, so like who knows what they'll do. Yeah, and
• 44:35
  he quit the show a week before we started the podcast, because our second
• 44:38
  episode of the podcast we did was who should replace Harry's here? Yeah,
• 44:44
  thank god he didn't leave the show in the end. But yeah, so
• 44:45
  it's just him being in House of Wexle. I love House of Wax so
• 44:50
  good. Another one that doesn't get mentioned anywhere near enough. You know,
• 44:52
  Pierce Brosna is fan fucking tastic in that episode. Yeah. Oh, like
• 44:58
  again taking these charming, like good from the outside, you know, characters
• 45:06
  and then just recontextualizing them, like yeah, it felt like he had a
• 45:09
  lot of fun doing that voice as well, going a bit more sinister but
• 45:14
  still doing it in a very pierced Brosman way. I think is Yeah,
• 45:16
  what I'm trying to get out here, like it is so yum yum yum
• 45:21
  yum y But yeah, it's a perfect voice for sort of howl because it's
• 45:27
  like a bit two thousand and one a space odes see, isn't it as
• 45:29
  well? Yeah, definitely, yeah, But yeah, it's just the idea
• 45:32
  of like AI scares this right as just the human race, the idea of
• 45:36
  AI being more powerful than I always it will always terrify us, right terminated
• 45:39
  in it, you know, But just the idea of being in a house
• 45:43
  that you want to live intil it's just super convenient, but also that that
• 45:45
  threat of it could actually turn on you at any second. Yeah, that's
• 45:50
  exactly I feel like in the next day fifty two hundred years, that's going
• 45:53
  to be the life we live in. Is just our life will be super
• 45:58
  convenient thanks to robots and AI, but there's always gonna be a threat that
• 46:01
  what happens when they turn on us. Yeah, I mean he was hoping
• 46:07
  they're still too stupid to do it anyway, because like we were having the
• 46:08
  like I was hanging out with my family on the weekend, and like my
• 46:12
  brother loves his Google Home, but like just lately, like he'll go,
• 46:15
  oh yeah, play a playlist of like nineties alternate rock or whatever, and
• 46:20
  we'll get in a loop of just the same three songs and it's like,
• 46:24
  Okay, Well, I mean AI, yeah, it's coming for a lot
• 46:28
  of things, but it's still too fucking dumb to finish us off. I
• 46:30
  haven't succumbed to things like Google Home and things like that, and I don't
• 46:34
  think I ever will. I just refuse to. Yeah, I'm just like
• 46:37
  if I want my TV to turn up, I'll just push the button I
• 46:38
  want to go, Hey, Google turn up. Yeah exactly. Nah.
• 46:43
  I mean it was the same when like the Xbox One came out and they
• 46:45
  were like, oh, all these cool voice features, and it's just like
• 46:47
  it's easier to press directions and a button. I don't want to talk to
• 46:52
  it. But my mum she gets her phone out. It's like the idea
• 46:54
  of the technology is just so standing in that they have they refuse to actually
• 46:58
  do what they used to do. My Mom's like, what's the number for
• 47:00
  Gelong Footy Club? I'm not just look it up? Google it? Google?
• 47:04
  What's the number for Geelong Football Club? No, I don't know,
• 47:06
  Google, what's the number for Geelong? I'm like, Mom, just fucking
• 47:08
  type it into Google? Like no, no, no, this works.
• 47:10
  I'm like, eventually here's what I found on the internet. Ah fuh.
• 47:17
  But bending back to to see I feel like I may have confused you.
• 47:22
  So I said horror parodies, but you've just done parodies in treos of horror.
• 47:25
  Is that's sort of the mindset you've gone with? Yeah, pretty much,
• 47:30
  but a few of them are horror parodies, Like the other one I
• 47:34
  wanted to bring up was Fly versus Fly, which is a parody of The
• 47:37
  Fly, which is like, apparably more so the original not the Uninet and
• 47:40
  eighties version. Oh is that right? Yeah? Because like if you haven't
• 47:45
  seen it, yeah, Dave Cronenberg's The Fly is a fucking incredible horror movie,
• 47:51
  Like Body horror movie, and yeah, Jeff Goldbloom is so good in
• 47:54
  it, like I think, yeah, it's and again doing the sort of
• 48:00
  Simpsons thing is sort of taking the general idea and just doing their version of
• 48:04
  it, Like we're not doing one of these parodies where it's recasting anybody.
• 48:07
  It's still the Simpsons, but it's just what if the fly happened to them?
• 48:13
  And so yeah, we start out the segment with a bunch of incredible
• 48:17
  gags around the teleporter. Homer setting it up, like going to all that
• 48:22
  effort to set up the teleporter so we can take a piss from the lounge
• 48:24
  room is just so yeah, so quintessentially Homer. Yeah, it's so good,
• 48:30
  and I love the punching as well. Yeah. But then yeah,
• 48:37
  when Bart eventually and yeah, turns the pets into it a cat dog and
• 48:43
  then just a butt butt that could be leasing like, yeah, another good
• 48:49
  thing of like taking a very grim prospect of yeah, but accidentally fucking up
• 48:52
  and himself turning into a fly sized fly and then making a you know,
• 48:57
  a Bart sized fly in the process, but still having so many great gags
• 49:01
  around it and still making it a funny segment. Okay, Okay, it's
• 49:05
  yours sugar, but yeah, I almost love how late the Simpsons just embraced
• 49:08
  their new flyboy. Yeah. I was like, that's fine, it's like
• 49:14
  he's and your child. Yeah. Another one that I want to also bring
• 49:17
  up was we touched on this in our Gory ones with the Frankenstein parodies.
• 49:23
  Right, so the Chance of three, I want to say, where burd
• 49:28
  snaps out the brain so good? Also, can we bring up Frankenstein as
• 49:32
  well? Have you seen Frankenstein? Yeah, the season sixteen one, Yeah,
• 49:37
  something like that where Yeah, so basically it's Frank's father. Just basically
• 49:42
  the end sequence of him ripping the brains out of the scientists mortified me as
• 49:45
  a child. Yeah, it's just brain's getting snapped out of heads. I
• 49:52
  just love that. Yeah, he'd gotten to the point with his superhuman strength
• 49:54
  that he could just like twist top the top of people's skulls off and just
• 49:59
  in a bunon brea from one, You're like, it's so good. And
• 50:01
  yeah, bringing in Jerry Lee Lewis, you know the yeah, Jerry Lewis
• 50:06
  rather uh the inspiration behind Frank's voice I thought was an amazing gap for them.
• 50:10
  It really was Yeah, a more recent one as well that I really
• 50:14
  enjoyed, which caught me off guard with how good it was. Was our
• 50:16
  normal activity. Oh okay, I don't think I remember that one filming.
• 50:21
  It's the Paranormal Activity one. The Demon's coming to get Maggie because Marge made
• 50:24
  a deal with the devil to I think it was how her sisters get their
• 50:28
  souls back as a charge. She said the Satan that her first, her
• 50:32
  third child or something belong to Satan, something along those lines. But because
• 50:36
  there's something about the Paranoractivity seat like series. I remember the first one like
• 50:39
  absolute spoit, the share of him, and then it was just no repeat,
• 50:42
  at the repeat, at the repeat. But I love the What I
• 50:45
  loved about the original one was how low the budget was. And it's just
• 50:49
  like a quiet room and a saucepan drops. There's no like Gore, there's
• 50:52
  no special effects. It's something that can happen in any house and over the
• 50:57
  other day. I never day. It was recently one of our things fell
• 51:00
  out of the padre and I was like, oh shit, this is paramlativity.
• 51:04
  Let's just it's so simple, that concept. But but yeah, I'm
• 51:07
  just gonna hear what Treehouse of Horror was actually in un Yeah, I think
• 51:12
  it was twenty three, so from season twenty four. Yeah, just looking
• 51:15
  at that, that was a pretty good Treehouse of Horror and the whole like
• 51:21
  they had the greatest story you ever hold it like, that's not a parody
• 51:22
  of anything. It's like, by the way, Yeah, for those of
• 51:25
  you who haven't checked it out, go to like just the Wikipedia page for
• 51:29
  all the Treehouse of Horror episodes. They've got a column for possible references or
• 51:35
  what they're parodying or whatever. And I reckon that is just a great media
• 51:38
  list right there. I think that's a podcast idea. Waiting to happen is
• 51:42
  just yeah, reviewing the source material and then reviewing the Treehouse of Horror segment.
• 51:45
  But yeah, the great Yeah, and then it's got Barton Homer's Excellent
• 51:51
  Adventure which is like so fun that one. Yeah back to the Future parody
• 51:53
  thing. Yeah yeah, yeah, that one's one of the I remember watch
• 51:57
  that going this is like classic era. I love that Excellent Adventure one.
• 52:01
  What was the fine what was the other segment in that one? Say the
• 52:04
  great story as whole as you were saying, yeah, yeah, where it's
• 52:07
  just like I think it's because the Host and Biggs thing was happening around that
• 52:10
  time, and yeah, a black hole appears in Springfield and then yeah,
• 52:15
  it starts out people like hey, with a great place to throw our garbage,
• 52:17
  and then the whole gets bigger and bigger and bigger, and I think
• 52:21
  could go on to inspire the video game Donut County. Shout out, Shout
• 52:24
  out to Donut County. That's an excellent game. Now, is there any
• 52:28
  other parodies that weren't horror based that you wanted to bring up that weren't horror
• 52:31
  based? Um? No, not really. The other big one that I
• 52:36
  had was for Terror at five and a half feet. How awesome is that
• 52:40
  segment? Yeah, and a parody of the Twilight Zone segment episode Terror at
• 52:46
  twenty thousand feet. It's yeah, about a guy on a plane and John
• 52:51
  lithgals. We were saying, yeah, yeah, So yeah, this is
• 52:52
  sort of a self recommend for the second two segments of the Twilight Zone the
• 52:57
  movie, because yeah, anyone that doesn't know, Yeah, the Twilight's Own
• 53:01
  movie that came out in the eighties, produced by Spielberg. The first two
• 53:05
  segments, like one is Uncomfortable because there was like real on screen depths associated
• 53:09
  with it, and like it's just a bit of an uncomfortable watch. And
• 53:14
  then the second segment is Spielberg's really schmoltzy like retirement home segment that is just
• 53:20
  so Sacharin that yeah, it gave me double diabetes. But the second two
• 53:24
  segments ones it's called It's a good Life and this is what they parody in
• 53:31
  a Treehouse of Horror two with Bart Stream like the kid with all the notly
• 53:35
  Powers mare and Nancy Cartwright is actually in that segment in that movie. Yeah,
• 53:39
  yeah, yeah, And that's directed by Joe Dante who Gremlins and like
• 53:45
  a bunch of other stuff. He's just such a Small Soldiers. I want
• 53:47
  to say, yeah, yeah, absolutely that man, that was a surprisingly
• 53:51
  great movie. And in that one, I want to do a podcast with
• 53:55
  someone who's got in the nineties, maybe yourself, where we just go back
• 53:59
  and revisit the film that we gret with that people just don't give enough credit
• 54:01
  for its Small Soldiers is number one on my list, mate. Yeah,
• 54:04
  oh, and it's one of these ones which is actually so ahead of its
• 54:07
  time in a lot of ways, Like the special effects were so good Yeah,
• 54:12
  it was incredibly It's funny because it's viewed as like a box office bomb
• 54:15
  and like a forgotten thing, but I think it could have potential to be
• 54:20
  a cult hit. It is so good. Everyone remembers those small Soldiers toys
• 54:22
  being in chops. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I never got myself a
• 54:28
  chip, has it? I bought one later on in life. Yeah.
• 54:30
  I ad The Archer, but like I remember that a movie that was based
• 54:34
  it was almost like a movie made to sell toys, and I get that,
• 54:36
  but it was almost like taking the mickey out of that as well.
• 54:37
  It was just it was the way it was handled. I love that movie.
• 54:40
  I absolutely love it. Yeah, and Phil Hartmanson I think it's his
• 54:43
  last filmed on screen performance as well. Really was that? I thought it
• 54:49
  was before Jingle all the way? Uh No, well, I don't know
• 54:52
  if filming wise, but I know it was released posthumously and like, yeah,
• 54:59
  there's a little bit like in the mid or after credits as well,
• 55:00
  which just shows a deleted scene of like, yeah, him goofing up a
• 55:06
  take or something like that, and said, yeah, I've dedicated to Phil
• 55:08
  Hartman and all that. Yeah, I says edgingle the way ninety six because
• 55:12
  that it was ninety eight. I think small sol isn't it. Yeah,
• 55:14
  yeah, yeah, shout out to small soldiers. It's a bit off topic.
• 55:16
  Let's do it. Let's do it. I'm glad I've finally found someone
• 55:20
  that appreciates movie as much as I have. Yeah. But yeah, so
• 55:25
  also in Twilight's on the movie. Yeah, the final segment, the fourth
• 55:28
  segment is yeah, the John lithgar Tara at twenty thousand feet and like him
• 55:32
  just being this panicked guy who's like already got anxiety about being on a plane
• 55:37
  and whatever, and like it's very relatable, and the way that they sell
• 55:42
  his fear and anxiety is so artfully and so masterfully done. And then yeah,
• 55:45
  the whole gremlin thing, and like, unlike the Simpsons version, you
• 55:50
  don't really see a lot of the monster or apparition on the side of the
• 55:52
  plane, and like that becomes so much scarier. Like but I mean,
• 55:57
  I think the Simpsons also do a very good version of this where yeah,
• 56:00
  you do see a lot of the grammar, but again it's like the clown
• 56:01
  without pity thing. No one believes Bart. All right, let's do one
• 56:06
  more each before we wrap this up. All right, Yeah, go for
• 56:08
  it. I'll pick one. All right, I'll go through what I've got
• 56:10
  one list here, let's do a join one here. Night of Living Dead
• 56:14
  that the dolls for zombies so iconic and just felt like the obvious one that
• 56:19
  goes you didn't at zombies. Everyone's scared of zombies. Yeah, like we're
• 56:22
  talking about don't have a cow mankind before. It's like, it's actually surprising
• 56:25
  they haven't done more zombie parodies in the Simpsons because there's so many different takes
• 56:30
  on it, Like, I mean, especially like it felt like five or
• 56:32
  ten years ago we had zombie overload with the amount of shows and movies yeah
• 56:37
  around the topic, but yeah, still back in the day where there were
• 56:42
  only a few key properties. And yeah, Night of Living Dead certainly,
• 56:45
  like again, like this was that sort of story just coming into the Simpsons
• 56:49
  world, and I loved it. One of the greatest gags is earlier seasons
• 56:52
  you shut the zombie flan he was a zombie. Yeah, I love that
• 56:59
  one. I'm gonna go with the blob mmm. So we touched on it
• 57:04
  in aw Gruesome one podcast was a couple of weeks ago when he ate the
• 57:07
  cat and he killed the cat. Well, killing the cat was a gruesome
• 57:08
  death. Have you seen the Blob the original one? No? I haven't.
• 57:12
  Actually, just again this idea of just this blob going around that you
• 57:15
  can't stop. No matter how much you run, you ain't getting away from
• 57:19
  it. I thought they did a really good take of the Blob here,
• 57:22
  incorporating to Homer, and it has a great appearance from who sings big Butts
• 57:29
  So mix a lot, So, Mix a lot. You do you remember
• 57:30
  the song in that one? No, it's actually it's been a hot minute
• 57:34
  since I watched that segue. So it's like, I like big guts and
• 57:37
  I can nut lie. But it's just like a completely take. But he's
• 57:39
  sang that this complete parody. It's a great remix of the song. But
• 57:43
  I really really enjoyed. I believe it's called what it called the Married to
• 57:47
  the Blob marriage. Yeah, it's called Marriage to the Blob. Yeah,
• 57:51
  from Trios of Horror seventeen. If you haven't seen it, we just reviewed
• 57:53
  it recently on our show some season eighteen, in the ear of the Simpsons
• 57:57
  when they were making the show, So that the quality is very very miss
• 58:02
  yeah, miss Like it's there's a couple of like okays, but it's been
• 58:07
  pretty miss so fast season eighteen. But yeah, I really enjoyed the Blob
• 58:10
  parody in that Trace of Horror. Yeah, it was one of those ones
• 58:15
  where it's like, oh, I'm surprised the Simpsons hadn't done this before,
• 58:19
  you know, all the Homer is Fat jokes that they could have done that.
• 58:22
  Yeah, certainly the Blob is one of these stories that they could tell
• 58:24
  through that. Yeah. Well, the Halloween of Horror episode for me was
• 58:28
  a big one for that where it's like, how have they gone twenty plus
• 58:30
  season season twenty six to twenty seven without doing a non It had to be
• 58:35
  a cannon Halloween episode. Yeah, because that episode, to me is one
• 58:38
  of the greats. I absolutely love Halloween of Horror. I watched it recently
• 58:43
  again because I'm speaking to Carolyn Demena next week and can she wrote the episode.
• 58:47
  It's just such a great Lisa episode. Yeah, And it's one of
• 58:52
  these ones because it's like, yeah, you forget that Lisa is meant to
• 58:54
  be eight sometimes because she's basically a teenager, and this is one that like,
• 59:00
  yeah, we got to see her be a kid again, but in
• 59:02
  a very still lease a way that like didn't feel like it was a character
• 59:06
  break or anything either. Yeah. Yeah, and it's genuinely scary as well.
• 59:10
  I love Hell in the Horror but all the time in the world for
• 59:13
  it. But what's your final one you want to talk on today? Talk
• 59:15
  about? Yeah, I want to throw a shout out to the Treehouse of
• 59:20
  Horror fifteen. So from season sixteen, I believe, Yeah, four beheadings
• 59:23
  and a funeral. So this is like a combination one which is like the
• 59:29
  Jack of the Ripper story, but also mixing it in with Sherlock Holmes.
• 59:32
  Again, this is one of the Simpsons, like they're casting in this world
• 59:37
  and so like Lisa's your Sherlock Holmes and Bart is your Watson. I'm really
• 59:42
  not liking that one. When we did the review for it, yeah,
• 59:45
  I remember going, I'm pretty sure my memory of it was so there's no
• 59:50
  jokes here. It's pretty much just how funny is a British accent? Yeah,
• 59:52
  I think that was my thing. But yeah, go, what do
• 59:58
  what do you like about it? Well? I think this is another one
• 1:00:00
  that like improved when I saw the movie from Hell the Okay, So yeah,
• 1:00:06
  Johnny Depp and it's the Jack the Ripper story, and I think the
• 1:00:09
  scene with the opim dem was maybe a bit unnecessary. Like I actually do
• 1:00:13
  remember when it first came out and watching ANU on Channel ten that they were
• 1:00:16
  like, ooh, this is a heavy drug use warning and it was like,
• 1:00:20
  oh, what are they doing in this treehouse of Hirah? But yeah,
• 1:00:23
  largely unnecessary scene, but yeah, it was one where I think,
• 1:00:28
  like just mood and casting, I think I really nailed, and like,
• 1:00:32
  I think I was totally swerved by the ending as well, that it was
• 1:00:37
  Chief Wigham in the end and they managed to incorporate using an eel pie into
• 1:00:40
  the solution as well, which yeah, just sounds disgusting and so totally British.
• 1:00:45
  I think the best parodies of the ones where much like the Shinning as
• 1:00:49
  you touched on it's probably wait is the best is where you don't have to
• 1:00:52
  have seen the source material to appreciate how great it is. M Yeah,
• 1:00:58
  there's there's so many episodes that as I've got older and watched more movies and
• 1:01:01
  things like that and I have seen what they're referencing, I'm like, ah,
• 1:01:05
  that parody is so great where if you're watching something, they're parodying something
• 1:01:08
  and it's just lost on you. I feel like, even if you can't
• 1:01:12
  find it funny, it's probably not a good parody. Good parody needs to
• 1:01:15
  be funny, whether you've seen the source material or not. Is one of
• 1:01:16
  those parodies where it's funny if you haven't seen the source material, but if
• 1:01:20
  you've seen the source material, it's even funnier. Yeah, exactly, Yeah,
• 1:01:23
  it's an enhancement because yeah, still haven't seen the Shining. The Shining
• 1:01:27
  still holds up, and I almost don't want to watch The Shining because I
• 1:01:30
  feel it'd be a disappointment. Now, yeah, it won't live up to
• 1:01:32
  the quality of the SIBSS. I've seen bits of it because you used to
• 1:01:36
  always be on TV. I think it goes like it's a really long movie.
• 1:01:40
  I feel like I can't remember the Shining. Let's see how what the
• 1:01:43
  runtime is for the Shining. The Shining run time is, where do you
• 1:01:47
  find the fucking right? One hundred and forty six minutes, which is a
• 1:01:50
  long time. Yeah, that's an evening. But look when it was on
• 1:01:54
  TV, you go for like three plus hours for you to throw commercials into
• 1:01:57
  that as well. Oh yeah, like one of the last times I watched
• 1:02:00
  commercial television was like I was just scrolling through, Oh, True Lives is
• 1:02:04
  on and it already being a long movie, and then every fifteen minutes being
• 1:02:08
  interrupted by ads. I'm like, man, there's a great movie, but
• 1:02:10
  I have to give up. This is just not the way to watch it.
• 1:02:14
  How did we do it? Mate? We had no choice. Yeah,
• 1:02:19
  is either that or drop thirty bucks on the VHS. And my Mum's
• 1:02:22
  like, you got five videos to buy this year? What are you picking?
• 1:02:24
  Yeah, exactly exactly. But anyway, that is some of our favorite
• 1:02:29
  parodies that Simpsons have done. I focus on horror. You've done mostly horror
• 1:02:31
  as well. You threw in the Superhero one, which could have been a
• 1:02:34
  good horror movie. As you're saying, I like the idea of that being
• 1:02:37
  a horror film. Yeah, it's just yeah, it's just a really genius
• 1:02:40
  character thing. And then yeah, Zena as well, what a great guest
• 1:02:44
  star as well for this, Like yeah, not necessarily comic book or horror,
• 1:02:46
  but yeah, much in that collector thing, like high fantasy sort of
• 1:02:52
  thing. And she does great. And Zena doesn't fly. Not Zena.
• 1:02:54
  I'm loosely gowless. It's a shame that you couldn't get Kevin Soilbell as well.
• 1:03:00
  I think these days you were like, probably good they did now,
• 1:03:04
  but at the time would have felt relevant. Yeah, maybe they tried and
• 1:03:07
  then they couldn't, and then they were disappointed. You've still one joke.
• 1:03:13
  That's my one Kevin Sorbo joke, because think it's everyone's Kevin and I don't
• 1:03:16
  know whether it's true, but I'm going to just believe that it's true.
• 1:03:20
  That's what happens that he read this direction. Alrighty guys, this has been
• 1:03:24
  our discussion on the best horror parodies in the since type. You enjoyed it,
• 1:03:29
  Elliott, plug all your stuff before we get out of here. Yeah,
• 1:03:31
  if you like Simpson's content, I'm reviewing Simpsons also over at the Simpsons

• 1:04:04
  the Christmas decorations start going up all over the shops. So if you like
• 1:04:08
  spooky stuff, I made a audio drama series called pulp Fury Radio. We've
• 1:04:14
  got a lot of spooky stories on there, just amazing actors. Especially.
• 1:04:17
  The first episode is like our take on a zombie sort of thing, but
• 1:04:21
  it's like an alien overtaking a small town, and that one's called it came
• 1:04:27
  from the bottom of the ocean, but also from space, so that I
• 1:04:30
  feel like that sort of gives you the general vibe that we're going for.
• 1:04:33
  It's like it's slucky, it's horror, but it's also very fun in campy
• 1:04:36
  at the same time. So go check that out. That's pulp Fury Radio
• 1:04:41
