#160: Class Of Nuke 'Em High (1986) - Tubi or Not to Be · What's Your (Least) Favorite Scary Movie?

0:06
Hello, What's your least favorite scary movie?
0:10
But what about the Fellini Film Festival?
0:12
Fuck the Fellini Film Festival. What's your least favorite scary
0:16
movie? The podcast where we talk about
0:17
the good, the bad, the ugly and the absurd, and all of our
0:20
favorite and least favorite. Scary movies because we believe
0:23
every horror movie rightfully has its fan base.
0:25
Even if we don't always get it. My name is Travis.
0:28
My name is Jesse and welcome back to another.
0:31
To be or not to be? Our monthly bonus series that is
0:34
live, uncut, and mostly undrawn. That's right.
0:38
And this month it was my pick. So I went and chose a little
0:42
movie called Class of Nukem High.
0:45
That's right. We went back to Tromoville.
0:47
Yeah, that's right. OK.
0:50
So before we get into any of that though, do you have any
0:53
announcements? I honestly don't know you guys.
0:56
I'm a disaster. I just filled my drink, my notes
0:59
are soaked. So if you are bug Tedder budget
1:03
tier on Patreon, that's why they look fucked.
1:08
It might be a little bit runny. It's OK.
1:11
Everything is fine. It was just a little spill, you.
1:14
Know. No.
1:14
It was half a can, OK. It was half a can.
1:16
It was a half a can. Spill.
1:18
It almost destroyed your computer.
1:20
And, like, talk about a waste of a Baja blast.
1:25
Well, we got Manny. We got Manny in the fridge.
1:27
We'll be OK. We'll survive.
1:29
All right, We're. Not OK.
1:30
I'm not going to survive. It's all good, guys.
1:32
It's all good. OK, well with that out of the
1:35
way, let's go ahead and get into our two beer not CB episode.
1:39
So I chose class of Dukem High and I picked this one because
1:45
yeah, I wanted another trauma movie and you know cuz usually
1:50
shocky fun. Well, budget.
1:51
Good times. I mean that's the kind of vibe
1:54
that we generally go for with to be or not to be.
1:56
Anyway, the way I looked at it was it's, I mean we usually go
2:02
like, well, budget. Well, cuz that's kind of the
2:04
charm of what I like about to be.
2:06
So here's the thing. And this is complex.
2:10
So somebody asked how we feel about to be being owned by Fox
2:13
and I still don't really have a good answer for it.
2:16
I'm slightly more informed about it than I was.
2:18
And the question was posed because I don't even know that
2:21
they owned to be and there are several Fox properties that I
2:26
might not necessarily agree with or subscribe to.
2:30
But The thing is also that to be is or Fox is owned by Disney and
2:36
Disney owns like most of media at this point.
2:39
Yes. And that's like, it's hard.
2:43
It's hard because I try to be like ethical in my consumption
2:47
of anything and I try to like figure out what's important to
2:51
me as like, you know, a person in my system of values and
2:54
everything. But I like that to be does
2:57
provide a platform for lower budget films.
3:01
And also with it being a free system, it has a greater sense
3:07
of accessibility than some streaming services.
3:11
So basically the short answer to how do we feel about it is I
3:15
don't, I still don't really know.
3:16
Mixed. We hate the bad people involved
3:20
in those things. It's just yeah.
3:22
Yeah. And I think that's going to
3:24
happen when you get to any multibillion dollar corporation.
3:27
I I think about it kind of like with Nestle, because as a
3:31
company they've done a lot of shady shit, but they also own
3:35
like 90% of what you're going to get in the grocery store.
3:37
And I'm not saying that it's OK and that like, Oh yeah, 100%
3:40
support Nestle. I'm just saying like sometimes
3:44
it isn't always super easy to like, parse out things and I
3:48
think that. Having a platform that is
3:52
accessible for people at least, I mean granted place of
3:56
privilege. We do have, you know, easy
3:58
Internet access, but like a platform that, like smaller
4:03
movies can be on, I think that's important.
4:05
The way I always look at things like this, I always take it back
4:09
to the good place. And the moral of that show
4:13
basically is it's hard to be a good person.
4:16
It's hard to be 100% ethical with everything that you do
4:18
because you're always unknowingly doing something to
4:22
support people that may not have the best intentions.
4:25
And you know, it's unfortunate sometimes because that that is
4:31
the case with 90% of the things we consume.
4:33
But you know, it's just it's an unfortunate reality that we have
4:38
to kind of live with sometimes. Yeah, like it's.
4:43
You know, and not like to like, excuse it and just say ohh,
4:46
well, sometimes there's going to be bad people involved, which
4:48
isn't what Travis is saying. It's more just like that.
4:53
It's it's so it gets very hard to, like, pull those things
4:57
apart without just completely isolating yourself.
5:01
Yeah. And we can't dug foreset it
5:02
because, you know, that didn't even work out for him.
5:05
Exactly. That's what I'm thinking about
5:07
too, because like the guy, I don't want to give away Good
5:09
Place spoilers for people that don't.
5:11
Yeah, I haven't seen. It go watch it.
5:13
What the fork are you doing here?
5:15
Yeah, because I guess it kind of goes into that topic.
5:19
So I don't know all. Of the good places.
5:21
Capitalism bad. Well, look, if if you want our
5:24
detailed thoughts on this, we can give it to you like a
5:27
separate time. But you know, here we're we're
5:29
just trying to talk about some schwacky, stupid movies.
5:32
Yes. So the the whole point of our
5:34
two Beer Not to Be series is that we do like that we can
5:38
access these. Smaller budget films that might
5:42
not necessarily get picked up on bigger streaming platforms,
5:47
right? That's our goal with this.
5:49
It's not necessarily of like, oh, we're promoting one company
5:53
or another. It's that we we want to, we want
5:57
to find these movies that we might not have otherwise found.
6:00
Yeah, exactly. And yeah, OK I think we've we've
6:04
set our piece on this at this. Point it's it's still very
6:07
complicated. I still haven't fully unraveled
6:08
my feelings, but that's. The short version of it for
6:12
right now, that's just again in a month.
6:14
Yeah, we'll maybe have a better answer or maybe not.
6:16
Maybe it'll be worse. I don't know.
6:18
OK, whatever. Class of Nukem.
6:20
Hi, everybody. So let's, let's go down to
6:23
Tromaville. So this movie released December
6:27
12th, 1986. We watched it on 2B, obviously,
6:31
because it's 2B or not to be. Film was written by.
6:34
OK, a lot of people, a lot of names tossed around on this
6:38
right here. And it'll explain a lot of
6:42
things about this movie, I think.
6:44
But written by Richard W Haines, Mark Rudinski or Rudinski,
6:49
actually. Lloyd Kaufman, Stuart Strutton
6:52
and Graham Fleshner. Directed by Richard H Haines and
6:57
Lloyd Kaufman. Music by Michael What?
7:00
Tanzi Latanzi. Special effects by Kay Gelfman.
7:05
Scott Coulter. George.
7:07
George Dono. Tom Ouch.
7:10
Louder. And Brian Quinn.
7:12
I'm sorry, it's not that these names are hard to pronounce.
7:14
This I fucked up with my handwriting.
7:16
So yeah. Yeah.
7:18
Marbles are full of mouth. Yeah, it's something like that.
7:21
All right. I only wrote down three people
7:24
from the cast because I feel like there's really only three
7:26
important people in this movie, even though we have a large cast
7:29
of characters. They just.
7:31
Guess Did you write down Chrissy, Warren and Spike?
7:33
Yes, exactly. So we have Janelle Brady, who
7:36
plays Chrissy, GAIL Britton plays Warren, and Robert
7:39
Pritchard plays Spike. Those are the three people you
7:42
really only need to care about, because they are the only three
7:45
people that really have any significance.
7:47
They they pushed forward the plot.
7:49
Yeah, Yeah, there's a Okay. Well, okay.
7:53
So First off, the player game. Everybody's favorite game budget
7:58
or bucked head? I'm gonna go with Bug Ted.
8:02
Yeah, obviously this is a Bug Ted movie.
8:04
This is Super Bug Ted. It's.
8:05
Trauma, baby. Yeah, but I've got the actual
8:07
budget. Okay budget is $400,000.
8:11
Honestly. Good for them.
8:13
Yeah, I know. It's about the same as Toxic
8:15
Avenger, which I think they were working.
8:18
They were working on both of these, I think, yes, at the same
8:21
time I was. Like briefly touching on that
8:22
when we covered Toxic Avenger and they've got a lot of
8:25
crossover cast. Like Spike is Spike's actor Is
8:29
Slug and Toxic Avenger, Yeah. We have the same mare.
8:33
You also have Bozo, who plays Pete, the only Creed and with a
8:38
normal name. No, no.
8:40
Yeah, he's Pete. Is it Bozo and Toxic Adventure?
8:42
Yeah, it's Bozo. He's the main dude.
8:45
I got mixed up cuz there's Gonzo in this one.
8:47
Yeah, yeah. Gonzo is like a whole other
8:49
person. Yeah.
8:50
Yeah, yeah, I got names mixed up.
8:52
There's a lot of cool names, but they all are just they're the
8:55
Cretans. That's it.
8:56
That's all I haven't written down is, for the most part, is
8:58
the Cretans. So I had it written down as the
9:01
Honor Society for a long time until somebody directly referred
9:04
to him as the Creeps. I do think it's funny.
9:06
Well, they, yeah. They even have it, like, on
9:08
their jackets. Like, they really.
9:10
Thought it was just gonna be like a throwaway sight gag,
9:13
Like, I don't know, like something out of rock'n'roll
9:15
high school where, like, they used to be the Honor Society,
9:18
and then you see them. I thought that's all that those
9:20
people were in the movie. They they are like the main
9:23
villains of this movie for the most part.
9:26
All right, so I don't have a box office, I don't have a gross,
9:29
but I do have an IMDb score and this movie is a 5.6 out of 10.
9:35
You know what? Honestly, good for them.
9:37
That's a lot higher than I expected it to be, honestly.
9:40
All right, so I got 3 movies. One of them makes sense, but the
9:44
other two I just said fuck it. These are all horror movies that
9:47
came out in 1986 and I want to talk about them.
9:50
So the first movie is a little movie called Witch Board.
9:54
Yeah, that is one that Jesse and I watched for the first time
9:58
this past year, thanks to the last drive in.
10:00
No, no. I watched about half of it one
10:04
night while you were asleep. We had it on shutter TV back in
10:07
the bedroom and I was like trying to figure out what cuz I
10:11
was in and out of sleep. But like, I heard enough of it
10:13
that I was like, I need to watch this full movie.
10:16
And I actually looked up what had been playing on shutter TV
10:19
that month, like what their rotation was, and I figure I was
10:22
able to piece it together based off of, like, what I'd heard and
10:26
the synopsis that I wrote of the movies.
10:29
OK, let me clarify. This is our first full watch
10:31
because I had a similar experience where I had caught it
10:33
on shutter TV. I was like, oh shoot, this is
10:35
interesting, Let's actually watch this one together.
10:37
And then Joe Bob was like, hey, I've got you guys covered, Don't
10:39
worry. About it.
10:40
All right, so like, here's all the details you need.
10:42
Yeah, It's a really good movie for people that like, you know,
10:45
just like 80s horror and paranormal horror.
10:47
Like I feel like it's even. If you enjoy discussions of the
10:51
Ouija, yeah, Ouija Ouija stuff or which board, I don't know.
10:55
In the episode there was a guy that was a Ouija board expert
10:59
expert and he he just kind of broke down the whole the whole
11:03
business of that the whole history Okay that came out
11:07
December 31st 1986 with a limited release.
11:10
I think the actual at wide release was 87 but this one
11:13
barely qualifies for 86. Budget $2,000,000 worldwide
11:19
gross 7.3 million. IMDb score 5.7, so pretty solid
11:26
.1. Better than class of Nukem High.
11:30
All right, second movie. It's one that you and I watched
11:33
like a long time ago, I think Swatter high.
11:38
So it's the one that starts off with them getting the nerdy kid
11:42
in the bathroom at the high school and like, humiliating him
11:47
in front of the whole class. And then they we've seen this
11:52
together. I believe we've seen this
11:53
together. But The thing is like, it's a
11:55
forgettable movie too. Because I always, I'm like, have
11:58
we ever seen this? Whenever I see the poster and
12:00
then I watch the trailer, I'm like, ohh shit yeah, it's that
12:02
movie. Anyways, I came out November
12:05
14th, 1986. Don't have a budget, don't have
12:08
a gross. But the IMDb score is 5.3.
12:11
OK. That one has like I feel like it
12:14
has the trauma spirit to it also, if you are interested in
12:17
that. I remember nothing about this
12:19
movie. Okay.
12:20
Well, maybe we can watch it again.
12:23
Third movie. Aliens with an S So that
12:27
release? Yeah, that.
12:28
Looks the sequel to Alien. Yeah, exactly, I know.
12:31
That's Budget Cuz. That's Cameron.
12:33
Fuck yeah dude. Yeah, Cameron.
12:35
Like, he blew the shit out of it.
12:37
I mean it was a summer release too, so it was a big release.
12:41
July 18th 1986 Budget of 18.5 million worldwide gross.
12:46
For Cameron, that was probably more bug Ted.
12:48
He was like, what the fuck is that?
12:50
This is like early Cameron, right?
12:51
Was this, this was before Terminator two?
12:55
Yeah, Terminator two. Before the first one too.
12:57
I think the first one was 87, something like that.
13:00
I I don't remember either way. Budget of 18.5 million Worldwide
13:04
Gross 131,000,000 IMDb score of 8.4.
13:10
OK, that's fucking high. 8.4 is a really high score for a horror
13:14
movie, especially OK3 tag lines. OK, so the first one, I feel
13:21
like I needed to read it. Second actually, because it
13:23
makes more sense when you read the second tag line first.
13:26
OK, OK. So first one second, second one
13:29
first. Yeah, OK.
13:29
So the second tag line is they were there to warn the three R's
13:36
and then the actual tagline with the three R's are reading,
13:40
writing spelled with a W and radiation.
13:47
Alright, alright, alright. And then the third one is it
13:49
rotted their bodies, it corrupted their minds.
13:52
And that's the good news. OK, yeah, I think those are
13:56
pretty good. Yeah.
13:57
Reading, writing and radiation. I think that's good for like a
13:59
high school. That's.
14:00
Funny, yeah. That's funny.
14:03
OK, that's it. We don't really have fun facts.
14:06
I did read some interesting things about this though, so I
14:09
can say fun facts if we have. You know if you want to hear
14:12
anything like he named it class of Newcomb High because he
14:17
wanted people to mistake it for class of 84.
14:20
OK, yeah. Because apparently, you know,
14:22
that was like a really, I think that was a fairly successful
14:25
movie that came out. Really traumatic to watch.
14:28
It is, yeah. But it was.
14:29
It's a solid movie. I remember watching and I liked
14:32
it. And then they apparently had
14:35
like a completely different story whenever it was originally
14:38
being written. And then Lloyd Kaufman came in
14:40
and then completely changed the story of the movie.
14:43
So apparently the original story was about some character just
14:48
like bringing people over to their house for dinner and I
14:53
guess like doing shit to them when they come over for dinner.
14:58
That's really the only premise I got.
15:00
But then Lloyd Kaufman came in and basically retooled the
15:03
entire thing until, like, it became what it is now.
15:06
OK, so all right, let's go ahead and talk about this movie then.
15:12
So, Jesse, what it what do you like about?
15:16
It honestly, I wasn't expecting as much of A storyline as there
15:21
actually is. I thought it was going to be a
15:26
lot looser, kind of like how Toxic Avenger was OK.
15:30
But I feel like there's a lot more like you feel like this is
15:34
more cohesive. Than this.
15:35
Yeah. See.
15:37
I feel the opposite. I like.
15:39
I feel like the. I don't know if cohesive is
15:42
necessarily the right word. More of a.
15:48
Story there's Yeah, there's more plot points to it.
15:51
Whereas Toxic Avenger Act One is their mean to.
15:57
Pretoxy Melvin. Melvin Yeah.
16:01
And then act two is Toxie is a good guy.
16:05
And then act three is maybe Toxie isn't a good guy calling
16:09
the National Guard, except oh, he is still a good guy.
16:11
It was all a lie. OK, yeah.
16:13
And there's like and that's, you know, the rest that's happening
16:17
is like. Just things going along.
16:20
Whereas with this, it's like, OK, cool, we've got this new
16:24
nuclear plant that's here and it's affecting people in the
16:27
high school in various ways. And these Honor Society students
16:30
are now selling the drugs and drugs are contaminated.
16:32
And these two goody, goody kids are going to smoke the drugs and
16:35
then they're going to have bad effects.
16:37
And then she's going to have a monster baby and that monster
16:40
baby is going to save them. When the bad kids take over the
16:43
school and try to, you know what I mean?
16:44
Like, there's a lot more, like, details to it.
16:49
Well, I'll get into my part on that whenever I go into the bad.
16:56
Alright, alright. Is that all the good you have
16:57
for it? I mean, not like that's my main
17:02
thing. Like, I like that.
17:03
It was like an actual story to follow along with.
17:06
OK, I like the premise of it. What I like the idea of, you
17:12
know, having like this, You know, it's like taking the high
17:15
school setting and then it's putting like an interesting
17:17
spin, like having introducing radioactive waste into the mix.
17:22
And then these people just start mutating and then everybody and
17:25
the school starts acting strange, but nobody's really
17:27
talking about it. Like, they're kind of talking
17:29
about it, but they're not. Yeah, like they're just
17:31
accepting it. And, you know, and you just kind
17:34
of have like a wacky high school movie going on with this with
17:39
horror elements too. I thought that the effects were
17:43
pretty sweet in this really, for it being such a low budget
17:46
movie. Yeah.
17:49
I agree with that, I guess. I don't know.
17:52
I guess that's about it. OK, what about the bad?
17:58
The bad. I think this maybe could have
17:59
been a little bit shorter for as as much as short as it is.
18:04
Yeah, for as short as it is and as much as I feel like it's a
18:07
more solid like. Story I I feel like there's
18:11
still like some wasted screen time.
18:12
And I think that's one of those things is when you've got like a
18:14
lot of plot points to your story, it becomes really obvious
18:18
when you've got like some of that dead air.
18:20
Yeah. And I think also it's just
18:23
because this movie is a little bit like it's it's meaner than
18:26
The Toxic Avenger, you know what I mean?
18:29
I feel like the Toxic Avenger was way more mean than this.
18:32
Yeah, but like, it's mean, but it's like satirical, you know
18:35
what I mean? Like you can see the the.
18:38
The humor they were going for with in it because if that makes
18:41
sense. Whereas like some of that's
18:42
here, but like, you know, like you said it would have been like
18:45
nice to see like some additional like leaning into some things.
18:49
Yeah, you know what I mean? So that's like that's my biggest
18:55
thing And like it's so impossible not to compare the
18:59
two. It really is similarities.
19:01
I mean they have like the same overall feel.
19:03
Like, I mean they're set in the same universe too.
19:06
It's Trauma Ville, which is cool.
19:08
Yeah, I like that they, like had that established from the get go
19:10
that they're all gonna be set in the same area.
19:13
Yeah. All right.
19:15
Well, my bad for this is I feel like it is like a it's less of a
19:20
story to me. Like I I feel like I feel like
19:23
they just had and that's what I was talking about whenever.
19:26
Like I I was reading here how many people wrote this movie.
19:29
We have 12345 names here attached as writers and that's a
19:33
lot of people putting their input and I don't feel like you
19:37
have a clear vision. I feel like at times it wants to
19:40
be like a fun high school movie. At other times it wants to like
19:43
be like Toxic Adventure and have like the bad criminals do bad
19:47
shit. And then it also wants to be the
19:48
Toxic Adventure when it has Warren be like a super mutant
19:51
for a second and then he never he achieves that again.
19:55
Yeah, we don't really get resolution on all that.
19:58
He just, like, temporarily gets super powers and attacks the
20:00
Cretans in one instance and then that's it.
20:04
He's like, OK, we're. Cool.
20:05
He's murdered some guys. Yeah, he fucking killed two
20:07
people and like everybody is just cool, then nobody.
20:11
He doesn't bring it up to Chrissy and like it just it's
20:15
like it never happened. And then you also have a monster
20:18
movie going on. Which isn't really a thing until
20:22
the very, very end of the movie. Like, I feel like it would have
20:26
been cool to have had like pick one of those for me.
20:29
I think it would have been more interesting if the monster would
20:32
have been like wreaking havoc in the school throughout and you
20:37
know, it was more present. I really thought we were gonna
20:41
have the monster being super protective of Chrissy and
20:44
Warren, cuz they're mom and dad. That would have been awesome.
20:46
I thought that's what we were gonna see.
20:48
And then Warren had zero paternal instinct and was like,
20:52
all right, laser beam in his ass, Yeah.
20:55
Well, Chrissy too. I mean, she didn't go shit about
20:57
it. The funny thing about that thing
21:00
too I read is the reason that they didn't really have a lot
21:03
with it. It was supposed to be more
21:05
featured in the movie but they didn't finish it.
21:07
So like what we see is like half of the puppet and then they also
21:10
have like just rest of like like tentacles that you see flap
21:15
around every now and then. So like that.
21:17
So I don't know. I guess the Buck Ted kind of got
21:20
the best of it in that situation.
21:23
But I don't know like I I just feel like it.
21:25
It never really felt like. It tied everything together.
21:28
It just felt like a sequence of a lot of shit happening with no
21:33
sense being made of it. And also it's like an hour and a
21:38
half long music video because you just have like these rock
21:41
bands playing in the soundtrack the entire time.
21:44
It. I don't know, it was a why for
21:47
me. Okay.
21:49
All right. Ugly.
21:54
I mean, I guess I'm going to have to go with like the cretins
21:57
and their whole general. Their behavior, Yeah, knocked
22:05
over Crown. It's OK.
22:06
Everybody that that's just the cretins and their overall thing.
22:11
Yeah, Yeah, OK. It's just the cretins.
22:16
Yeah, they really do suck, man. I think the mayor and his, you
22:21
know, he just wants to. Like he they have like at the
22:26
very beginning of the movie, toxic waste just all over the
22:30
school and the mayor's like, ah, don't fucking worry about it.
22:32
Like we'll have some crews cleaning up overnight and we'll
22:35
just keep an eye on it and everything will be fine.
22:37
Meanwhile there's clearly, clearly guy.
22:40
I do have marbles in my mouth today.
22:42
There's like a lot of people that are having negative side
22:44
effects from it. See, I wrote in my notes that
22:47
the mayor saw Jaws and took the absolute wrong take away from
22:51
the movie. Yeah, I guess, yeah, he saw
22:53
that. He's like, yeah, he was like
22:54
that. Mayor knows what he's doing.
22:56
They had a successful weekend at the beach that day.
22:59
They did great. Okay.
23:03
Yeah, so absurd, I guess. Like, who the hell is Bob?
23:13
Because sometimes he seems like he's a teacher in the school.
23:15
Sometimes he seems like he works for the nuclear plant like.
23:18
Sometimes he seems like he's a cop like.
23:20
Which one was Bob? The one that various authority
23:23
figures referred to throughout. Like the principal at one point
23:26
was like when you get these cretins out of the school, Yeah,
23:31
like I just. And then like, at one point he
23:32
was like, we need to decontaminate the school.
23:35
Like, I just felt like, and maybe I've got multiple
23:37
characters mixed up, but like, I never really got a sense of
23:40
where that guy belonged. OK, yeah.
23:45
I I don't know, man. There's just so much absurd
23:49
about this movie. It's hard to like single out a
23:51
certain thing that stands out, I think.
23:56
Whenever Gonzo, which is a dude that can, like, barely speak.
24:01
Yeah, because of his mouth guard.
24:02
Yeah, he's got like a mouth guard in.
24:03
But then he has, like the PA announcement where he evacuates
24:08
the entire school and he adds, like, the best radio voice ever.
24:11
It's great. I love that.
24:13
Yeah. Yeah, there.
24:14
I mean, this movie is just, it's just so fucking weird, man.
24:18
Like there's a lot going on and there's a lot of absurdity.
24:21
But I think that's kind of what you come to expect when you go
24:24
into a trauma movie, yeah. OK, So what do you give this out
24:29
of 10? I think I'm gonna give a six.
24:33
You go in six, OK? Yeah, like it was It was OK.
24:36
It didn't. I wasn't as instantly endeared
24:39
as I was. With Toxic Avenger.
24:41
Yeah, yeah, I feel the same way. I was expecting to really love
24:45
this one. And then I started watching it.
24:47
I was like, what the fuck is happening?
24:48
Like, I don't know. I I guess it just didn't have
24:50
the same charm. I'm.
24:52
I guess they're very lucky that they released Toxic Avenger
24:55
first. Because I don't know if trauma
24:57
would be the same if this was the movie that they went with, I
25:02
think I'll give it like a four. Oh, wow.
25:05
Yeah. So we're starting with an
25:06
average of five. Yeah, I guess 5 is OK for this.
25:10
It just, yeah, didn't really get me, didn't capture me.
25:13
OK. All right.
25:15
So let's talk about it. I'll do my best, my favors.
25:18
Oh yeah, it's still drenched right now.
25:21
OK. Well, I'll start us off.
25:23
So we start off at the Tromaville nuclear facility,
25:27
business as usual going on there, but then we are tracing a
25:32
pipe and then we see that one of them bursts, alarms are
25:35
sounding. And then we get the mayor from
25:38
Toxic Adventure, and he's like, ah, there's no danger here,
25:41
Don't worry about it. Yeah, because they're like, we
25:43
need at least 48 hours to decontaminate.
25:46
And he was like, Nope, just scrub it down, It's fine.
25:49
Yeah. So then we cut over to
25:51
Tromaville High School, where you see the toxic waste has
25:54
already made its way there somehow.
25:56
Yeah, cuz Andy Samberg goes up to a water fountain.
26:00
Yeah, and drinks some sledge. Andy Samberg or Dewey?
26:03
He kind of looks like Melvin, too.
26:07
From Toxic Adventure, like you know not quite as bad.
26:10
But like his profile, immediately I was like, that's.
26:13
That's the nerd. I thought we were gonna get more
26:16
of him because like, I thought he was gonna drink this waste
26:19
and, you know, become like a mutant that we would follow.
26:21
You would think that. But instead what happens in in
26:24
class is they have an evacuation drill.
26:28
And during the drill, he starts to froth up the mouth and he is
26:31
twitching and he attacks some people.
26:34
And then, as everybody does in Tromaville, when you have
26:38
exposure to radiation, he throws himself through the window.
26:43
It's like the exact same shot. And when I was watching that I
26:46
thought I was thinking to myself, it would be hilarious if
26:49
they just reuse the shot of the guy from Toxic Adventure.
26:52
It's this blonde dude with a Tutu on, just jumping out the
26:54
window. But no, he has a different faith
26:58
than Melvin. He wins, like right on the
27:00
pavement and then he just melts in front of everybody.
27:03
Whereas like Melvin jumps into some toxic waste.
27:06
He He's the. He also is coming from inside
27:09
the house. Yeah, yeah.
27:10
So he melts onto the sidewalk. His melting is a little bit more
27:13
graceful, though. Like, it turns him into a
27:14
superhero, this guy. Like, he just melts all of his
27:17
skin off and he's just skeletons after it's.
27:20
Yeah. So the nuclear workers come to
27:23
the school and they're testing radiation levels.
27:26
And the mayor is like, there's absolutely no connection between
27:31
the incident at the school and the new nuclear facility.
27:35
In fact, I was told that Dewey owed 2 microwaves.
27:40
Yes, which like. I mean calling back to microwave
27:45
massacre. Back during this time,
27:46
microwaves were ginormous, so I think it could be alarming to
27:50
have that many microwaves in your house.
27:52
How rich was this kid? Then you could have two of.
27:55
Those I know. Those things were fucking huge,
27:57
dude. I mean, I feel like Elite is
28:01
fucked right now. If we had two microwaves and
28:03
they're just like $50 appliances now.
28:05
They're not even $50 appliances now.
28:07
Yeah, they're just you just pick them up, man.
28:08
They were $50 last time we bought 1.
28:11
OK. That was a long time ago.
28:12
We haven't bought. 1A Long, long time we're we're out of touch.
28:17
OK, so Kathy and the guy go down to a Fallout Shelter.
28:23
OK, that's funny. So I know that the guy's name is
28:25
Eddie. Oh, OK.
28:28
I did not know the girl's name was Kathy.
28:29
Yeah, OK. So they go down there to the
28:31
Fallout Shelter to go make out and stuff and then like there's
28:35
toxic waste stripping from a pipe and it has no effect on
28:38
them. It has nothing like it's just
28:40
like a shot. The movie and like, yeah, we
28:42
need something here. Let's just have them, like,
28:44
maybe go down there to start to have sex and then get some goop
28:47
on them. Yeah.
28:49
Chrissy is worried about, like, how things have been since the
28:53
nuclear plant opened. Also, they say nuclear, the
28:56
whole kind of drought that's maybe in a job with me.
28:58
Baddy nuclear, nuclear. So she is, you know, talking
29:04
about one teacher that lost all of her hair and developed cold,
29:07
like sores all over their body. The Honor Society is now like
29:12
violence. Yeah, like they're a violent
29:14
gang. Pretty much, Yeah.
29:16
Yeah, they sell drugs. Is it?
29:18
Think of like the crew of the people from The Toxic Adventure
29:22
that hold up the burger joint. It's like a bunch of them, yeah.
29:26
But like, some of them are actually monsters now.
29:28
Well, I was also gonna say class of 84.
29:31
Yeah, I mean, I guess more like that.
29:33
Yeah, boy, they really did kind of take notes from that movie
29:36
right there. Another thing about this movie
29:38
too, if you do end up watching it, pay attention to background
29:41
actors because this is something I noticed.
29:45
Like everybody in a scene like that's in the background is
29:48
always doing something weird and.
29:51
Like, they're not just behaving like normal extras.
29:53
Like I see people like falling down and like a little fights
29:57
happening. And then there's that one scene
29:58
when we first introduced to the high school and everybody in the
30:01
hallways making out like every single person is kissing.
30:06
So it's something keep an eye on, but also pay attention to
30:08
this nerd that they bully into buying some weed because he is
30:11
wearing Dave England's poop cardigan.
30:13
Yeah, he. Is it's so crazy that that thing
30:16
like it's being made from back then?
30:20
He doesn't poop, but he gets like, repeatedly hit in his
30:23
growing area. Yeah, that was like, that's
30:26
their move, the go to move here. Mmhmm.
30:28
Yeah. They rough him up and force him
30:29
to buy their weed. That's what the greens do.
30:32
That's like their whole thing in this movie is they fight you and
30:35
then like, OK and then buy our weed.
30:36
Yeah, And they get their weed from nuclear workers.
30:41
Nuclear, yeah. Well, I got that dude's name.
30:46
What the fuck was this? Yeah, but he was like, why did
30:48
you guys come here in the Bay time like?
30:51
His name is Ron. Yeah, Ron.
30:52
He's like super pissed off. Yeah, cuz you know, they're
30:55
they're in the daytime and pick up weed and like you see is it
31:00
right here that you see where like the pot plants at the
31:03
PowerPoint are like super covered in radiation?
31:06
Yeah, Yeah. This is the only real shot we
31:08
get of the like garden, if you will.
31:11
Yeah, so Frank and Eddie decide that they're going to harass
31:18
some girls at lunchtime, but they do convince them to go to
31:21
this college party. The theme is indoor beach party.
31:25
And the girls look scandalized. And that's how you know they're
31:27
high schoolers because that, like he said, indoor beach
31:29
party. And I just kind of nodded along.
31:31
I was like totally realistic, like for a party theme.
31:35
Yeah, it seems like it would be like, somewhat fun, I guess.
31:40
So they. They go talk to Warren, try and
31:43
convince him to go, but he really wants to study.
31:45
He's got a cram for a test He's got.
31:47
He's actually, you know, good studious Warren.
31:50
Yeah. And the other two, Eddie and
31:54
Greg I think are the two of of his friends.
31:57
Eddie and Frank OK, yeah, they're they're walking through
32:00
the hallway trying to like, I guess convince him.
32:03
And then they are approached by the cretins who force him to buy
32:09
their new weed, which is a called.
32:12
Tom McKay, yeah. And yeah, I guess because it's
32:16
been rolled up with all the radioactive waste and shit.
32:19
Yeah, so now they're all at the party.
32:22
Indoor beach party. Chrissy's not really filling it
32:25
though. They were gonna go to a Fellini
32:27
Film Festival. Yep.
32:29
And I don't know. They're just like, who the fuck
32:34
is Fellini? He's an Italian film director.
32:37
Okay, where do you know what anything has done?
32:39
I've not personally watched anything.
32:40
No, I did briefly like look cuz I was curious too.
32:43
But yeah, so the the friends are very concerned about Warren and
32:50
Christie's lack of sexing, which is just like.
32:53
It's weird. I mean, it's the basis of every
32:58
high school movie since the dawn of time.
33:01
Yeah, I do think it's funny though, that they're both like
33:04
talking to them, like I would make the move.
33:06
They're just they're just too shy.
33:08
The other person's too shy. I I think they're both too shy.
33:10
But they wanted to thank the other person's.
33:12
The problem? Yeah.
33:14
So their friends get them to smoke the weed in the hopes that
33:19
this is super misogynistic. They're like, maybe it'll loosen
33:21
Chrissy up. Yeah, Not not Warren, but
33:25
Chrissy. Yeah.
33:27
And they're both like, that's super gross.
33:29
Which even if it wasn't radioactive, yeah, it's fucking
33:32
weed. It's gross.
33:35
And they throw it on the ground and Eddie gets pretty upset
33:39
about that. Which, yeah, that was a $10
33:40
joint. Yeah.
33:43
But they're like, OK, we're gonna get out of here.
33:45
And Christy goes upstairs, but that weed is hitting her, and
33:48
she was really horny. So they have sex upstairs while
33:51
their friends watch. Yeah, I don't understand why.
33:53
They're like, OK, well, we're smoking weed.
33:55
We don't really, like, want to really be doing this.
33:57
Let's go home. But they go upstairs instead.
34:01
And then, yeah, they just end up starting like they start to have
34:04
sex. Instead, they had all of the
34:06
fear, pressure and they said yes to all of it at those party.
34:09
I have. You know I am.
34:11
These kids needed dare. Oh my God, they did.
34:14
Yeah, I'm just thinking of, like, the whatever Kelvin and
34:18
Keith were doing in righteous chimp Stones.
34:22
Smart Busters. Oh yeah.
34:25
Well, I'm glad you like, interrupted me, because I was
34:28
about to spoil the end of the season if nobody has.
34:30
Seen it? Oh, God.
34:31
Yeah. No, no, don't do that.
34:32
Yeah, all right, quick spoiler cover your ears if you haven't
34:38
watched it. But I was going to say they're
34:39
doing boyfriends and boyfriends by the end of the season, I
34:42
think. Everybody kind of expects that
34:44
from them. I'm just, well, a lot of people
34:46
weren't sure if it was really going to happen by the end of
34:48
the season. Or not.
34:49
So I got you. All right, so they've had sex
34:52
and now they go home and he drops off Chrissy, and then he
34:55
goes home himself. And then they both start to have
34:58
really fucked up nightmares, which.
35:01
Which I firmly thought that this stuff was actually happening at
35:04
first because of its drama. But does it though?
35:07
Like, I feel like it kind of might, because like, they wake
35:09
up the next day and this shit is actually happening.
35:12
Except okay, this is the weird thing.
35:14
So. Warren's having his dream and
35:17
he's like having. It's almost like the
35:19
transformation from Toxic Avenger, except instead of
35:22
turning into the Toxic Avenger, he gets a really toxic pee pee.
35:25
Like a giant pee pee. Well, his face melts too.
35:28
His face melts a little bit. Yeah, but like, he like that.
35:31
He's like happy about his because, like, it gets like all
35:34
the way up to the ceiling. And he's smiling.
35:36
Meanwhile, we're over with Chrissy, who is like getting
35:39
pregnant. Yeah.
35:40
And then a little tentacle comes out of her belly button and
35:43
starts to just like, you know, slime around.
35:45
Well, that's how that's how you have babies.
35:48
That's how childbirth works. I know through the belly button.
35:50
I did the course in high school. Yeah.
35:53
Yeah. You just like you pull them out
35:54
by the umbilical cord. That's why the belly Button's
35:56
there. It's for the child's umbilical
35:58
cord. And you just, like, pull it out.
35:59
Yeah. And the baby comes out belly
36:01
button first. So you like they start life with
36:03
essentially a chest bump? I like that.
36:06
That's cool biology, man. OK, so they wake up and realize
36:13
that was a dream maybe. And the next day they were
36:15
pissed because they learned that the weed came from the cretins
36:19
and they're like, well, they could have laced that with
36:21
anything. But I also be like Warren, did
36:23
you do drugs without learning where they came from?
36:26
Yeah, well, I mean, they're also feeling like shit the next day
36:28
too, yeah? So Warren returns home.
36:34
Anywhere he walks around the house, the electronics are
36:36
turning on around him, which this never comes back.
36:41
Cretins take some Alka cetzer because it's they're out on the
36:44
sidewalk and they're trying to trick this old lady that is
36:47
carrying groceries. So they do that.
36:51
Spike pretends that he's foaming from the mouth, having a seizure
36:55
or something, and then Pete goes over.
36:57
He's like he needs something soft to chew on, like your
37:00
handbag and the old woman. Super naive.
37:03
It just gives them a handbag so they just run on this like
37:06
should we call 911? And he's like, not enough time.
37:10
Yeah, so they just take her person.
37:11
Give us your pocketbook. Warren is super pissed off at
37:16
them cuz he, you know, found out that it was their weed and he's
37:20
blaming them for him feeling like shit.
37:22
So he storms the alley where they were doing their drug
37:25
deals. And he straight up fucks them
37:27
up, he fucks up pee and actually kills him by shoving his hand
37:32
down his throat. Yeah, same type of thing with
37:35
Toxic Avenger too, where he punches him or anytime they make
37:38
contact with his fist like they start to burn.
37:40
I just kept thinking about that Beastie voice song.
37:43
Looking for a fist to put your face in?
37:47
Maybe they saw this movie. I don't know.
37:50
And then there's the other dude that was like, I don't know what
37:53
his role is. He was only there for this one
37:55
scene. And like, he gets fucked up and
37:58
killed too. Like, he just gets tossed.
38:00
Yeah, and Spike approaches from behind.
38:02
But one knocked out, Yeah. He just like, tosses him and he
38:05
gets knocked out and he's spared.
38:07
Yeah. And the other cretins are like,
38:10
did you see who it was? He goes, no, I didn't see who it
38:12
was. And like, did you see who it
38:13
was? No, I didn't see who it was.
38:14
Crazy thing is, it kind of looked like Warren.
38:16
So you did see? So you did see?
38:18
Yeah, you saw the back of his head at least.
38:20
I mean, it's a good thing that this kid dies young.
38:22
Spoiler for the end of the movie that came out 40 years ago. 30
38:25
years ago, but like almost 40 years ago.
38:31
Yeah, Jesus. But because he never would have,
38:35
like obviously, this kid would have at some point landed in
38:38
court on trial. Naturally.
38:40
And yeah, he wouldn't have handled the cross examination.
38:42
Like, well, The thing is, he was once smart.
38:45
Maybe he would find his way back.
38:47
There's hope for him, maybe, but Warren wakes up in his bed.
38:53
He's just a cool. He was on a dream.
38:56
What happens to the big pee pee tree?
38:58
I like that one. Yeah, I like that one.
39:00
Bad. Meanwhile, Chrissy is at cheer
39:02
practice and she is in a lot of pain.
39:07
So she goes to the bathroom where her stomach expands and
39:10
goes back flat and expands and goes back flat.
39:13
And then she goes to the stall to throw up and her throat is
39:18
like kind of like a bullfrog for a minute, yeah.
39:21
It's really freaky, dude. They do a good job with us too.
39:24
And then she spits it out and it's like this little tadpole
39:29
monster thing, which I guess is like the alternative.
39:32
Root of having babies, like that's how other people do it, I
39:34
guess. Spit it out.
39:36
Well OK, so you know, like sometimes you can't have a belly
39:39
button birth, you know, for whatever reason, either because
39:42
your belly Button's not wide enough or because you had a non
39:46
belly button birth within the last two years.
39:49
So you have to go the alternate route which is.
39:52
A C-section. Yeah.
39:53
OK. OK, Cool.
39:55
All right. Wow, man.
39:56
I'm learning a lot today. All right, so.
40:00
Yeah, she sees sections into the toilet and I just want.
40:05
To say that C-section births are very valid as birthing methods.
40:08
Whether your baby comes out through your throat or your
40:10
belly button, you're still a mother.
40:12
Yeah, it's doesn't make a difference.
40:14
No, no, no judgment. So she goes to the doctor and
40:18
the doctor straight up tells mom that she had a miscarriage.
40:22
I'm pretty sure you're violating it, but yeah, I know, right?
40:26
Speaking about it in the hallway.
40:27
OK, listen, I know we're making dumb jokes aside, and granted,
40:32
sex education in public high school in Kentucky is terrible.
40:35
But like, we do actually know where babies come from?
40:37
I don't. No clue.
40:40
This doctor gets several things wrong because he's like, well,
40:45
all the tests show that she was nine months pregnant.
40:48
What tests? Yeah, like, what test did you
40:50
run? And I'm sure the mother would
40:52
have noticed something at some point.
40:54
Also, she had sex like 48 hours ago.
40:56
So like, I feel like there's a lot of questions there.
40:58
But also like if she was nine months pregnant, then at that
41:01
point, it's not a miscarriage. It's a still birth.
41:04
Yeah, yeah, that's a whole other thing.
41:06
Yeah. OK, this guy.
41:07
Also, it wasn't even a still birth because the tadpole is
41:10
still chilling in that toilet. That's true.
41:13
Yeah. Well, this is Tromoville, I
41:15
guess. Like, not the best medical care.
41:17
Like, like the Tromoville. Am I right?
41:19
Kind of, yeah. But this is like another scene
41:21
here where I was noticing in the background, like, you got like
41:24
nurses stumbling over each other in the hallway in the
41:27
background, and there's just like a bunch of wild shit going
41:29
down. Like, I don't know, like, I feel
41:31
like there's a separate movie happening in the background of
41:33
this one. So a girl also goes into the
41:38
bathroom like in just like a random shot afterwards, and sees
41:41
the baby there, and she flushes it down the toilet and it
41:46
travels throughout the system, goes to the kitchen sink, pops
41:49
out there for a second but it decides to pop back down, go
41:53
through the pipes a little. Bit I would not be able to
41:55
finish washing those dishes. No, fuck that.
41:58
That would be terrifying, to see something like that pop out, but
42:01
it goes down into the Fallout Shelter, which for some reason
42:05
has like a lot of nuclear waste down there.
42:07
Because it dripped earlier. OK, so that's what that Yeah.
42:11
OK. That was the point of showing
42:12
Eddie and Kathy making out down there.
42:14
It was just to show the like, OK dripage that makes sense.
42:18
Then, well, it drips out of the pipe, cuz it bursts out into
42:22
like a tub of toxic waste. So that's the thing that's
42:27
happened. Okay so.
42:31
The Cretins are trying to force a nerd to buy a joint.
42:35
Their prices have gone up to $20 and Warren comes in and he's had
42:39
enough of this. So he starts fighting them.
42:41
Except he doesn't have his mutant powers right now, so he
42:45
gets his head dunked in a toilet.
42:47
And then Bob, who may be a teacher slash police person,
42:52
slash nuclear person, it's just the the Tromaville authoritative
42:57
figure. Like that's his.
42:58
I like that. Yeah, that's just his role.
43:00
Yeah. He comes in.
43:02
The Cretans are all being expelled.
43:04
Except then they sing The Star Spangled.
43:08
Yeah. OK, I forgot so much about this.
43:12
There's so many good answers for, like, absurd moments in
43:14
this movie, like this being one of them.
43:16
So they get expelled and you're like, yeah, well, how about
43:18
America? And then they just start singing
43:20
the full national anthem to them.
43:23
Yeah, and they just, like, let them do that.
43:26
Yeah, it's the full national anthem.
43:27
And then because we're watching this on TV, it went into a
43:29
commercial after that. And like, we just were gonna
43:32
like, huh? Yeah, yeah, it's just OK, OK, So
43:39
we're at the Troumaville nuclear facility again.
43:41
Workers are now starting to have side effects from all of the
43:44
radiation because they're like falling to the ground and having
43:47
like, reactions and shit. They send more workers to do
43:50
some more radioactive like testing at the school, like a
43:55
whole wing needs to be shut down.
43:57
And the mayor once again is like, well, we can't do that.
44:00
Just tell them there's structural damage and we'll work
44:03
on it at night. Which, like, also wouldn't be
44:05
cool to just, like, have a kid. Yeah, I know they don't.
44:08
The thing is, this guy just doesn't give a fuck.
44:11
And that's his character. That's just all he's ever gonna
44:13
be. Except doesn't he die in Toxic
44:17
Avenger? Yeah, OK, he dies in this movie
44:19
too. So, like, does he just keep
44:20
coming back to life just to die? I hope so.
44:22
I really hope so too, because that's that's amazing.
44:27
All right, So yeah, they start to close down the school and
44:30
everything. Yeah, I have radiation levels,
44:33
their Geiger counters going crazy.
44:35
One of the dudes goes down into the Fallout Shelter and he
44:38
thinks that the meter is just kind of going off the tracks
44:43
because it's faulty or whatever. Yeah, which I could see that.
44:47
Like I could see them being, I could see that.
44:49
Use the shit equipment. You know, Unless you know the
44:52
school, that's just straight up having radioactive waste, like
44:56
rising from the soil. Like, I don't know.
44:59
I feel like it's very obvious that there's a legit reason for
45:02
this. Yeah, except then he drops his
45:04
mask into a tub full of green shit and reaches This man that
45:10
works with radiation for a living.
45:11
Reaches his arm into an unknown substance to get his mask back.
45:15
Yes, a hazmat. So you don't.
45:18
He's safe. He's all good.
45:19
Except he's not safe, because the tadpole ain't a tadpole no
45:24
more. It's a fool on monster now.
45:27
Yeah, and he does not let that work early.
45:30
No, that monster actually looks pretty sweet too.
45:32
Yeah, I was really impressed with it.
45:35
So let's see. The Cretins have a plan to break
45:41
into the school. Yeah.
45:42
So they're pissed off because, like, they've lost all their
45:45
clients because they can't force people to buy weed anymore.
45:49
So yeah, now they're going to, like, go into the school, force
45:52
everybody to evacuate. That way they can get revenge on
45:54
everybody, including Warren, and just the school in general.
45:58
Yeah, so they go into the principal's office and beat the
46:04
information out of him as to where the.
46:07
Evacuation alarm is. And so that goes off.
46:10
While that's happening, they get Chrissy down into the basement
46:15
with Spike and Teru, and so they take her necklace, get some of
46:20
her blood on it and deliver it to Warren.
46:23
So as everybody's evacuating, he gets his bloody necklace, so he
46:26
runs back into the building. And this actually is really
46:29
scary because they're down there in the basement and when the
46:31
alarms going off, Spike says to Chrissy, like, do you hear that?
46:35
That's the evacuation alarm. That means nobody else is in the
46:37
school right now. Yeah, that is.
46:39
I like the final, like, parts here because, like, they've got
46:42
everybody out there. They've taken motorcycles to the
46:44
place, so they're all just like, riding motorcycles throughout
46:47
the halls, which is kind of cool.
46:49
I was wondering, like, I feel like this had to have been like
46:51
an abandoned school where they filmed this because like, I
46:53
can't imagine anybody being cool with them doing this shit there.
46:56
I like like, so there are various points where Muffy is
47:01
like spraying the wall and as they're going like she's on the
47:08
back of a motorcycle and she's free painting the wall and in
47:10
some of the scenes spray paint's coming out and then some of it.
47:13
Nothing really. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
47:17
They're having a good time. They're just like fucking shit
47:19
up, throwing shit off the top of the building, just destroying
47:22
all the furniture, spray painting, whatever they want.
47:25
Not to draw another comparison to Rock'n'roll High School, but
47:28
I was thinking of drawing. Another comparison to
47:30
Rock'n'roll High School. It definitely has like similar
47:33
vibes to it here. Except the I was on the kids
47:36
side in rock'n'roll high school. Yeah, this is Togar.
47:39
Needed to learn a lesson. She did.
47:41
She did, for sure. And if.
47:43
It took blowing up the school and throwing Hanzel and Gretel
47:46
out of the window. Then so be it.
47:49
So Spike and I think Warren. OK, Warren arrives down there
47:56
and he's going to rescue Chrissy.
47:59
But then as he is about to do that, the guy pulls a gun and
48:03
he's about to like cut off Chrissy's nipples.
48:06
But before he gets a chance to do that, the monster rises from
48:10
the tub and kills Taru and attacks Spike.
48:16
But Spike, Chrissy and Warren all managed to get out of the
48:19
room in time. Yeah, yeah.
48:22
And let's see, where am I at? The mayor has arrived outside
48:26
because, like, they're like, oh, there was a radiation leak over
48:29
at the school. And he goes, no, this is just a
48:31
false alarm, which it actually really was.
48:34
Forgot to mention though, but the best kill there is the TARU
48:37
kill because the monster straight up punches through her
48:39
head and like the effect of that happening like the fist goes all
48:43
the way through the other side. It looked amazing.
48:46
It was so well done. Yeah, so like Warren and Chrissy
48:49
are running and they're trying to hide from the other cretins
48:52
while you know everybody outside is arguing about if this is real
48:55
or not. And the mayor is just like
48:57
trying to control the optics of the situation.
49:01
All of the cretins are being killed 1 by 1 by the mutant
49:04
spawn and it almost kills Chrissy, but Warren hits it with
49:09
a laser. Because like, we had this random
49:11
throwaway line where, yeah, if the lasers hit the Super
49:16
aircharged neutrino particles or whatever the fuck they made-up,
49:20
yeah. It'll explode, yeah.
49:23
They were basically setting up for like an exploiting school in
49:26
the end of this general. High school.
49:28
I really, really wanted the monster as the like, laser hit
49:32
it to be like, Oh my God, that would have been awesome if it
49:36
would have done that. Yeah, we don't get anything.
49:39
Like, there's no attachment. Like, it would have been funny
49:41
if it was like, what if it had like a little bit of a
49:43
resemblance from the two of them, you know?
49:46
Yeah, like it was actually their children, little.
49:48
Like swoopy hair. Yeah.
49:51
But no, they just shoot it with that.
49:53
And as they shoot it with that, the mayor runs in and he
49:56
doesn't. We.
49:57
Need to leave because the school's going to explode and
49:59
he's like, you're dumb. This guy just doesn't believe
50:03
anything. Like he's seeing a fucking
50:05
monster right before his eyes. But he's like, I don't.
50:08
I don't really believe it. So they run out, the school
50:11
explodes, and then an announcement from somewhere.
50:15
Don't know where these figures are from saying that the school
50:18
is temporarily canceled for renovations.
50:21
I do love that the speakers still like the sound.
50:24
The PA system works perfectly fine after that.
50:27
Yeah, and everybody's cheering because no school.
50:30
Yeah, so Warren and Chrissy are like the heroes cuz they killed
50:33
the monster and they got the kids out of school for an
50:35
extended period of time. They're like, also in shock.
50:38
Yeah, they're also in shock. And then we see that from the
50:42
rubble of the building, the little monsters now went back in
50:45
the baby form, and it's still alive.
50:48
Yeah, I guess it's a little moment.
50:50
Yeah, exactly. And that's the movie.
50:52
That's how it ends you. Know what?
50:54
I'm gonna bump it to a 6.5. Okay, I forgot.
50:57
Like, there are some really good, humorous moments that I
51:00
just, like, forgot about. Yeah.
51:02
And as we talked about it, I have a better appreciation of
51:04
those moments now. Yeah, okay, I'll make it a 5.
51:09
It's okay. It's better.
51:11
It's not if. I mean, I'm always going to
51:15
choose Toxic Adventure over this, but I guess it's not
51:18
really fair to keep comparing the two just because they're
51:20
both trauma movies. Yeah, I think.
51:22
I think that was part of the problem is that I went into it
51:25
with like several movies I was ready to compare it to.
51:29
Yeah, just it needs to be its own thing.
51:31
It needs to be its own thing. It does have moments where it
51:34
hits really well. Yeah, you just gotta, you gotta
51:37
put it on and not expect to be watching anything of any, like,
51:42
actual substance. Like it's just like a fucking
51:46
experience. It's all I could say about it.
51:48
Yeah. OK.
51:50
So what's our new average? 5.75 OK, not too bad.
51:55
Yeah. All right.
51:57
So who did you? What would you change?
52:00
What's one thing you would change?
52:03
We haven't had such a point disparity in quite a while, so
52:05
that's true. I I really think that I would
52:08
like choose something to focus on here, like if they wanted it
52:12
to be a thing of Warren getting revenge on the Creedence, I
52:16
think that that would be cool. If it were a thing of the
52:20
monster terrorizing the school, I think that that would be cool.
52:23
If they just wanted it to be like a fun, like weird trippy
52:28
comedy about high school where everybody's like, you know,
52:32
affected by the radioactive waste going on, I think that
52:36
that could be like a fun comedy too.
52:37
But I. Would have fun with that, Yeah,
52:39
I I think I would have fun with all of those there.
52:42
It just needs to pick one to end.
52:44
Stay with it. Instead, we get like a mash of
52:47
it, trying to be several different types of movies.
52:49
And I think that that hurts it for me.
52:53
Like talking like Avengers. Strayed up a superhero movie at
52:55
the end of the day. Yeah, this right here.
52:57
It just couldn't figure out what it really wanted to be.
52:59
Yeah. So, yeah, that's what I would
53:02
change. All right, What was Scout's
53:08
favorite part? Well, what do you think was
53:10
Scout's favorite part, Travis? I think Scout's favorite part
53:12
was he in when the little monster came out.
53:14
Because when that happened, she looked up at me and purred
53:17
really, really loudly. Obviously, Scout's favorite part
53:22
is when the tadpole was swimming in the kitchen sink.
53:25
Oh yeah. Because she does that.
53:27
She does that. You're right, she did really
53:29
hard to that part right there. Damn it.
53:31
I guess she was just happy that the tadpole lived.
53:33
She's like, I could survive an explosion too.
53:37
If if I ever get shot by a laser, I might explode.
53:40
But I'll make it. OK.
53:44
Who did you relate to? I think I related to the nerd
53:56
and the Dave England poop sweater because I would wear the
53:59
hell out of that. Cardigan, I've said every time
54:02
we watch Jackass, I'm like, I want that cardigan.
54:04
I know. And it's true.
54:06
You really do. It's.
54:07
Yellow and it's an old man slash librarian cardigan.
54:10
Those are two of my favorite things.
54:13
Well, and then like seeing it here.
54:14
And then, like in Jackass movies to this day, even in the fourth
54:18
one, I was there. Yeah, it means that it's still
54:20
in style. 100% if Dave England was like, yeah, no, I saw that
54:24
in a Troma movie. I would buy that.
54:26
Yeah. That would be awesome.
54:27
Yeah, absolutely. Dave.
54:29
England's a nerd. Yeah.
54:31
Oh, totally. Yeah.
54:33
OK Who did I relate to? God, man.
54:35
I don't know. Everybody's super, super
54:37
exaggerated in this movie. I.
54:44
You gotta just pick a little thing to focus on because that's
54:47
what I did. Yeah, I guess that's true.
54:50
I guess I man, I don't fucking know, dude.
54:55
Like, I guess I relate to the girl that flushed the baby and
54:59
the thing because I didn't realize that that's like that
55:02
was natural and that was how babies were made.
55:06
Like, I think she never she didn't have the proper sex
55:09
education either, because I feel.
55:10
Like I kind of related to that too, cuz I feel like I would
55:12
panic if I saw something like that in the Dude.
55:14
Of course, yeah, if you see if I see anything like that in the
55:17
toilet that is, my reaction is to just straight up wash it.
55:21
And I won't use that toilet either, because I'm afraid it's
55:23
gonna climb back up. That's what I'm I did with the
55:27
shout, with the spider in the shower earlier, I was like, and
55:30
I just like, hit it with the like, the detachable nozzle I
55:33
was like. Get out of here.
55:35
That's a good way to do it, man. Just wash your problems away.
55:39
Down the drain they go okay. Well, do you have a dream sequel
55:44
that you would want to do for this?
55:46
There are a couple of sequels for this, and I've heard the
55:48
newest one is really, really good.
55:52
I guess like. Yeah, I would want to see like
55:56
maybe a couple generations later, like the the freshman
56:00
class from this movie, them as seniors like see how things have
56:03
changed and progressed like, I don't know, maybe the top hole
56:06
monster is like part of the school now.
56:08
See, I was gonna say their. New mask lot.
56:10
I like. I like that a lot actually, cuz
56:12
I was, I was about to pitch like into the future.
56:15
The little baby is now like an adult and it's now part of the
56:19
school, which as fully embrace being radioactive now.
56:26
And then to add to that, like say we get like a Futurama vibe
56:30
with like the time keeps slipping episode where they have
56:34
the mutants playing basketball against.
56:22
So it's like a normal thing there, but I like your idea of
56:25
it being the school mascot. Globetrotters and like because
56:40
they've all been exposed to the nuclear radiation for so long,
56:45
they like, they all have. Different abilities now.
56:48
And Oh yeah, yeah, and we got to get a toxic crossover too.
56:52
Yes, I feel like I There were parts of me that were expecting
56:56
him. He.
56:56
Is the basketball coach. I like that.
56:59
I could see it, like, I could see him being carrying like he'd
57:03
be like cow, you know, where he's like real intense on the
57:06
court, but he actually wants his players to grow up to be good
57:08
people. You're not thinking like a Bob
57:10
Knight where he would toss his chair across, no?
57:12
No, I don't. No, Toxie's not a Bobby Knight
57:15
at all. No Toxie Night, Okay.
57:17
No Toxie night. Yeah.
57:19
He would want to be involved with the community.
57:21
Cuz you know, that's just the kind of guy Toxie is.
57:24
Yeah. Yeah.
57:24
All right, cool. All right.
57:26
I'll accept that. I think that's the fine sequel
57:28
idea. And the mayor would be okay with
57:30
it because, like, if they have a really successful basketball
57:33
program, you know, that's good for Yeah, he's, he's alive.
57:37
Yeah, like he's back. Yeah, he's always back.
57:39
Yeah, like he returns. He dies every movie, but he's
57:41
back every. Single movie, nothing to wreck
57:43
on it. I was just he's back.
57:45
Yeah, he's gotta keep coming back and be the same dude.
57:47
He never learns his lesson. And we get a joke about talks to
57:50
me like, I thought I killed you. Yeah.
57:52
And then the monsters. Like, I thought I did too.
57:55
Yeah. Yeah.
57:57
OK. All right.
57:58
So I pulled a review. OK.
58:01
I wanted to go with somebody that truly, truly loved this
58:03
movie. OK, so I got one that's a 10 out
58:07
of 10 on IMDb. They rated it back June 17th,
58:11
2006 and the title of the review is Classic Trauma.
58:16
I love this movie. It makes absolutely no sense.
58:19
It's true, but who cares? It is a very fun movie with a
58:23
cool monster, some very funny scenes, and some nice boobies.
58:27
The characters are awesome. Gonzo is amongst the best.
58:30
He has a humongous snozering and carries around a giant bone.
58:34
We got, oh, my dog. We didn't even talk about his
58:36
bone weapon. Yeah, we did.
58:37
That could have been one of the absurds too.
58:39
Yeah, we got Spike, another weirdo who is the leader of the
58:42
gang. We got girls using boys
58:44
bathrooms, guys selling atomic weed to students, and nerds
58:48
evacuating the building by jumping out of a window.
58:50
What's not to like? This may not be as good as the
58:53
Toxic Adventure or Terror firmer, but it sure is fun.
58:57
It has some gore. Not as much as the other Torum
59:00
afflicks, but this is more science fiction anyways.
59:03
And every school year, By watching this masterpiece, I
59:05
must see For anyone who likes starkly comical movies or trauma
59:09
flicks, OK? Yeah, I am kind of coming around
59:12
on it. I can respect that, Yeah.
59:14
Honestly, like I was talking about it.
59:15
And then hearing them, hearing that review like that is the
59:18
kind of things I like in a movie.
59:19
Like, yeah, me too. They just don't make any sense.
59:21
We've got all of this random stuff going on.
59:25
Yeah, I guess. I mean, you just got to be in
59:26
the mood for it. So if you're in the mood for a
59:28
trauma flick or something like that, then you know this is a
59:30
good movie. Which I guess brings us to the
59:33
titular question. To be or not to be.
59:36
And on this one right here, I'm gonna recommend it.
59:39
Still, Yes, because I say to be I'll watch it again.
59:43
I watch. The sequels, Yeah, I wanna watch
59:45
the sequels. Yeah, I think I I just, I need
59:50
to give it another shot. And because I've got adjusted
59:53
expectations, now I know what it is and not what I think it is
59:57
gonna be or what it should be. So I don't know.
1:00:00
I think I'll like it a lot more, like on rewatch.
1:00:03
