  Speaker 1: that Gabby made for me. It's like this glass tall
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: cylinder with moss and skulls in it, and we were
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: talking about how there's a would you say there's a.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Surplus of fake skulls in the house.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, because there's two plastic ones, like cheap plastic right
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: here that I got from Target that are like five dollars.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: And then I got these tall boys right here from
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Joanne's Gothic section, because they also have what else did
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: you say they had? They have the Gothic section.
• 1:19

  Speaker 2: is an art deco vampire romantic section going on. There
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: is a whole section for like a cabinet of Curiosity's
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: floral arrangement thing, which is where all that moss came from. Yeah,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: and there is a whole pastel section. If you are
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: a brightly colored spooky bitch.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, yeah, brightly colored spooky bitch.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: It's all pastels. But like me, I kind of pastels.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I pointed it out to you while we were.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: There, you know, me and my memory.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I made him. Yeah, it's got the We
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: bought these plasticals. You bought a bunch of plastic skulls
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: last year for some reason, a bunch of like tiny,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: maybe one two inch big ones, and then we bought
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: some black ones to go in our fruit bowl because
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: we never put fruit in the fruit bowl, so we
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: put fake pumpkins and skulls in there. And so we
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: just have like a weird surplus, like full size fake skulls.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: We got about six in this room, not including the
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: one attached to the fake skeleton next to us.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Six. Oh shit, there's two more over there.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: So there's six in this room, and then i'd say
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: about seven or eight in that tube.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then there's a skull neon, two skull neons,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: a skull mask and then yeah, and then well that's
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the our skull logo up there. That's a pearler. I've
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: got a skulls.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I've got a skull in my studio, but that one's
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: like scull ring. That one's a teal. It's kind of
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: got that oils like rainbow color to it, and that's
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: the one I gluled all the flowers onto. I like
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: to do floral stuff. I love hot glue, do you Yeah,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I'm hot glue. That's why I'm like, I couldn't wait
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: to get started. I'm doing a Frankenstein diorama because in
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: that Micael section they did a they have those glass
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: terrariums they sell there and this year they're doing glass
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: terrarium coffins. So I got a Frankenstein Neca figurine and
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I am currently hot gluing tiny fake bricks onto some
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: balsa wood to make display.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: In the diorama.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: What's the wood that I'm using? That thin?
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I mean bal's it? Is that what you're using? Yeah?
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: You're using a cylindrical paper towel tube.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Uh that is a to paper towel tube and some
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: balsa wood squared out and glued onto it to kind
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: of give it like a CASTLEI kind of structure that.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I then bought tiny bricks and I'm breaking them apart
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: with a hammer and a.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Big hammer, real size hammer.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: No, I'm using your Ikeia hammer and a screw, a.

  Speaker 2: No, My hammer's a real size hammer. Yours is the
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: baby hammer. They give you the Ikea kit.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: It's not a baby hammer, but it's in Yeah.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Using that and a screwdriver is a chisel to break
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: part tiny bricks because I don't have an I don't
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: have an actual chisel.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: What would you call my hammer? What do you mean

• 4:40
  Speaker 1: welcome to episode. I'm your host, Austin Proctor. That is
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: your other host, Gabrielle Proctor.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Where who what?
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Anyways, we're talking about what we do in the Shadows today,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: maybe some of the TV show, maybe some of the movie,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: probably both, but obviously before that many things to be said. Yes,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: mainly that I appreciate the gift you gave me today
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: of skulls and moss. That's gonna be the topic of today.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Just that just that we're not gonna talk about it.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I bought that moss for the Frankenstein.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna describe it and then we're gonna end the show. No, No,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: it is pretty cool though. She just she just came
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: in in the middle of work and was like, I
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: made you a present, and nothing is better than having
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: a prison made for you. I can tell you that
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: it's pretty cool and I need I had it. I
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: knew exactly where to put it because I was thinking
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: about getting something for right there anyways, and then you
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: handed me this. Usually I like things and pairs or
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: even numbers. I was like, you know what, bam, fucking
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: rite the ship there. I've got a candle on the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: other side. I've got some hype going on here because
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the skulls are lower than the glass, but then the
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: candle's lower. You know, It's like fucking levels. Man.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I've had that cylinder for literal years, minus filed waiting toys,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: vinyl art toys, and I was like, I want to
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: do something with this, and then it all came together.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Boy did it? So thank you for that. That's pretty awesome. Definitely.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I have a bunch of shit to talk about, though, well,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: first and foremost, I tried to explain why they them
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: was not that great last week. But I have a
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: terrible way with words, so you need to articulate it
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: better for me. If you could do that for everyone
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: so they could know the issue that was without obviously
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: without spoilers, because it's a brand new movie that came
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: out this year streaming on Peacock currently. It's actually a
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Peacock original, which is crazy.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm gonna explain this clearly, which will kind
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: of allude to how it ends without outright saying how
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: it ends, because it really doesn't work to explain it
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: without alluding to how it ends. I'm just not going
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: to give away the big reveal. Okay. So they them
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: was marketed as an LGBTQIA plus horror film. You know,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: the queer community is a long history in horror film.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: A lot of it's been really rough. You and I
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: discussed it frequently on the show. Usually when we discuss
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: movies between like two thousand to two thousand and nine,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: that's when it comes up the most.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I can't wait for next year when we do Pride Month.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be awesome.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, We're actually gonna so awesome. You know, we've watched
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: a lot of movies that are harsh on the gay community.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: It would be nice to see some films that actually,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: you know, praise the gay community. Or like a positive attributes.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: So yeah, like, okay, sorry.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: The film is about a what I'm gonna say something?
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, do you want me to explain her? Do
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: you want to talk?
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Sorry you were Since we're on the topic, I was
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: just gonna say, next year, we're doing themed months, and
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: so this is a little sneak peak. In the next year,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: we're you know, we're gonna do Pride Month. And I
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: just think it's funny that they have the longest month,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: they have the most colors of the rainbow, and they
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: have a very long name. So everything is just like,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: We should probably get someone who's in the community on
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: the show that month. I'm just throwing it out there.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: It seems like the appropriate thing to do, Like it
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: would be weird if you had Women's Month and didn't
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: have me on the show that month.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: You have the most episodes that month, obviously, just like
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: you have the most during Pride Month.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I am the most female of the hosts.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah you Wereally, Oh yeah.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: You like an authority on this one.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Well, it's funny again because those those two months both
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: have the longest, like they have five weeks or you know,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: there's gonna be five episodes that month, So we get
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: five episodes of women directors and the five episodes of
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: like you know, good representation of the lgbt qia plus
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: there we.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Go get it?
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and no last episode, I was like, can never
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: fucking remember all the letters that come after it. I'm sorry,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: don't hate me. It's a lot to remember and I
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: have a terrible memory. Okay, he does.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: I can attest to that that doesn't want to learn.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: It's that it doesn't want to stick or.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Or I have add brain where I'm trying to get
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: it out and all I can hear is just like
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: static in my head, and I'm like, I can't articulate
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: my words.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Well, I told you when we I was in the
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: backwoods of America and I saw some guys truck had
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: LGB written in like paint markers on the back, and
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I'm just like, it took me a long time to
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: realize it was that stupid let's go Brandon thing, because
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: my brain was going, he's like missing half of that,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: where's the rest of it? Oh, Nope, that's a that's
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: a different thing altogether. But my brain immediately just finished
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: the rest of the letters out and I'm like, but
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: where are they're They're not there, so anyway they them
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: is about a conversion camp and a group of teens
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: to young adults being sent to a conversion camp where
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: they claim it is totally not like any other conversion
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: camp where they're not going to force religion on you.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be totally chill, and you're like, God, that
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: sounds suspicious now. What they were trying to do was
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: show how these kinds of camps would affect children and
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: teenagers and young adults and like how harmful they can be.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: And in one aspect, yeah, they had lots of representation,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: cool and they like Their strongest character was easily a
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: non binary transgender person who I believe was named Jordan,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: and loved that character. Really strong, really self confident, despite
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: having moments of like, you know, confusion because you know
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: when they're in when they're in that situation, those kinds
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: of conversion camps are made to like make you question
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: yourself and despite those moments of doubt, they were still
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: very self confident and that was really nice. But what
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: I said to you midway through this film was what's
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: gonna really hit or miss on? This is how they
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: end it, and there were a few problems. The gross
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: behavior of the uh you know, counselors throughout was just
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: really just uncomfortable and just it was gross. It didn't
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: feel like this is conversion camp. This felt like a
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: bunch of creepy people being left in charge of people
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: they shouldn't be. And the way they ended it went
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: from this is supposed to be empowering for.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: The uh what sorry, the p's are just like popping
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: really bad and trying to I know.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: This should be empowering for the queer community, to feeding
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: directly into the stereotype that the community has struggled against
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: all their lives. Because the without revealing who it is,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: because you know, there are mysterious deaths happening. A person
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: of the community is killing people in the film. And
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: that's the problem right there, because it feeds into that
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: negative stereotype that anyone in the community is dangerous, is unhinged,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: is violent. This is like examples, what did I say, uh,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: what was that summer camp movie? Sleep Away Camp, sleep
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Away Camp, sleep Away Camp. Great example of that. If
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: you know how that film ends, that is well it
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: is like it was a shocker for the time. If
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: you really think about it. It is harmful for the
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: community because it like perpetuates the stereotype that a transgender
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: person would be wildly violent and unhinged.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I just think they were. You know, Angela was unhinged
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: because she was getting bullied all summer. So I think
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: that's my problem, which is what No one knew that
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: about her, and that's why it was like, oh whoa,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Like that's insane.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it feels like, oh, the reveal is why
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: is she doing it? She's got a penis what I mean?
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't take.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: But the issue is is, well, you know better. A
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: lot of people are stupid and don't know better.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Sorry, Wow, I did not mean if I put my
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: elbow on the table and I hit the crookeets, I'm sorry.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: So this happens in a lot of films. Wrongfully, Psycho
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: gets grouped into this. But that's not a crazy gay man.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: That is just a man who's crazy and thinks he's
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: he's mother. But like, okay, Buffalo Bill another example of
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: someone who could be perceived as part of the community.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: He's just a lunatic, yes, but unfortunately, because he's a
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: man who wants to wear the skin of women and
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: wants to be perceived as a woman. He is a
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: representation that people can use against the community. So that's
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: the problem is they were gonna go for an empowering
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: angle and they whipped right back round. They went full circle,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: right back into the negative stereotype.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what she said, very well, That's what I
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: was trying to say last week, but words were hard.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So that was unfortunate because I was really looking
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: forward to see how they'd put the power back in
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: the kid's hands. And really the whole thing was bizarre
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: because if you think about it, the whole plot of
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: the film didn't need to happen, which i'll tell you
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: about later. When I was thinking about that already.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I was trying to say. It was
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: just kind of more harmful to the community than.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Anything, just going to feed into that stereotype for people
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: are too stupid though. To be fair, nowadays people are
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: so wildly homophobic that the mirror whiff of a rainbow
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: sends people into a frenzy and they're like, no, this
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: film's too woke for me, so they're probably not gonna
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: watch it anyway.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I don't understand too. Is it's supposed to be bad
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: because like, I don't I don't understand the problem with it.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: We're just being am I is this am I am?
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I assuming something different or something that's like I'm pretty
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: sure woke was just like being self aware of shit?
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: So how was that stupid? Talking about our feelings? God?
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: How could that benefit anybody?
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: It?
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, like, what's the problem with that?
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: The issue is that people are like, oh, everyone's so sensitive,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Like no, everyone's going to therapy and they're putting up boundaries.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: You just don't like that you have to respect other people.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're not sensitive. We're just talking about our issues
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: instead of bottling them up and shoving them down our
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: throat for fucking twenty or thirty years. And then you know,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying we're the generation that's like, yeah, I'm
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: not I'm done with this shit fucking generational trauma and shit,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Like I'm done with that.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The whole thing with being woke is literally like, oh,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: you're so aware. Now you're just sensitive. That's as as
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: far as I understand it to be.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: What I understand is it stupid.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm so sorry, I'm self aware I'm are
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: you glad you're not? Like, who's proud of not being
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: aware of other people?
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: What what? Why is that a point of pride that
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: you're like, I don't give a shit about other people's feelings. Wow,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: you said the part out loud that you just you
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: just admitted you're an asshole. Congratulations.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know. That's my understanding of the whole woke thing,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: and everyone's like it's too woke. I don't like it. Like,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: so it's like self aware and good for people because.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, or I can also pertain to representation, like, oh wow,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: they just have to represent any everybody. I'm so sorry
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: they couldn't just fill all the roles with white people.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we have to represent every single person because why not.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Why wouldn't we do that? What's the problem with that? Yeah,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: called inclusion everybody.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: To pretend that other races and cultures and genders or
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: or non gender or any of that, to pretend like
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: all these different communities don't exist is to be willfully ignorant,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: and to pretend like they shouldn't be represented is just
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: because you don't want to have to face the fact
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: that the world's changing and you're unwilling to change with it.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: And that's a perfect segue into our next movie honestly,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: which yeah, I know we talked about last week as well,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: but bringing up bringing it up again is Prey, which
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: has a great representation for the Commanche people.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Absolutely correct. Is that, Yes, it was command she working.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Well, No, I know that Commanche that was a dialect
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: as well of Native American people, but that's they are.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: The Commanche is like a tribe.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Right, Actually, apparently they don't use the phrase tribe.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Oh I learned that.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: No, No, like, that's not something that's well known. I literally
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: follow a Native American guy on TikTok. He talks about
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: like that's some that's a word that was put on
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: the community till they were synonymous with it. But yes,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: the Comanche people was a rather large group in the
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Native American community.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: That the Commanche or a Native American. It's just a
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Native American tribe.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I said, it's something that became so synonymous
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: with the community that they don't actually they can't escape it.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: But that's not actually something they call themselves.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, it's a Native American I'll just say group
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: from the southern Plains of the present day United States.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Commanche people today belonged to the federally recognized Commanche Nation
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: and headquartered in Lawton, Oklahoma, with a total population of
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: seventeen thousand people. Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico. Yes, eighteenth and
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: nineteenth century they lived in Texas. Yeah, so yeah, so yeah,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: so they have a great representation. I'm sorry I said it,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: and I was like, fuck, I need to I don't
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: know if that was actually their group of people.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: So yeah, no, Comanche was right. Yeah, because they even
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: dubbed it in Comanche too, which was really cool. So
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: you know, yeah, that's watch it what the actual language
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: would be.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Well, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, so that's good representation
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: for Native Americans because they didn't get a whole bunch
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: of white people to play Native Americans. They got actual
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Native Americans. And uh yeah, it's really cool because you
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: can have command she subtitles. There's a dubbing in command
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: she and I thought there was something else, but yeah,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: so it's not only is it good representation for them,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: but like they went full out with like like they
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: went all out. I don't think I've ever seen another
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: movie that was dubbed in Commanchi. Like, that's pretty cool.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, do they exist, probably, but I mean like
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: do you see them that often? No, So that's like
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: super cool that they did that.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: And yeah, it's gonna say and I think what is
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: amazing about the movie is the time period it set in,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: had French fur trappers there. And what's what's so cool
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: about this is that there is there are parts because
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: as we would be hearing the film, uh, it was
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: in English for the most part, unless you get the
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: dub obviously.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Well there was some spoken commandsie right, yes.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yes there was, but for the most part it
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: was in English except for when the white actors were
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: on screen, they were speaking French. So the French fur
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: trappers and the commanche girl, the main character, can't communicate
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: with each other. And when one character starts speaking English,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: it is explained that while he's speaking English to her
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: and she speaks English to him, what he's actually doing
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: is speaking commanche to her and she's communicating with him,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: which is why he's the only one. But of course
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: they're still saying everything in English. They don't give subtitles
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: to the French characters. At all, so you are just
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: as out of the loop on their conversation as she
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: would be.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I wonder if you put subtitles on though, if it
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: would pick up what they say, or it would just say, like,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: you know, uh, French speaking French dialector or something like that.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: I probably because I really like that touch, because I've
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: seen them do that in a few other films recently.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: I can't think of any on the top of my head,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: but like the whole concept of just because I think
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: they I know they did it in The Heights where
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: if they were speaking in their native tongue you didn't
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: get subtitles because it was kind of like a private
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: conversation thing. Or if the main character doesn't understand what
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: they're saying, well you shouldn't understand either, yeah, which I think.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Is well, yeah, you're experiencing it with the you know,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: with that person, with that person, You're you're not really
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: a third party perspective. It's kind of being told from
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: more of a first person perspective.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: And it adds to that uneasiness when she is interacting
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: with the fur trappers because you don't know what they're saying,
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: so you don't know what their plans are just as
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: much as she doesn't know what's.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Going to happen. Yeah, And I mean you can assume
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: they're probably not good because you.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Know, Yeah, but like to experience events to be like
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: put in that perspective because obviously, to some extent that
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: interaction is something that absolutely has happened. Yeah, to experience
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: that perspective really cool, really puts you in the position of, well,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: it's not technically cool because you're like, oh God, what's
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: gonna happen, but you know, just really smart filmmaking.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: It's interesting to see that perspective.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. They put a lot of thought into that film,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: and honestly, I I loved that movie. I thought that
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: movie was so good.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And after we watched Prey, we were like, Okay,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: time to watch the Predator movies. It's been like a
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: long time since I've seen I've only seen one and two.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: I hadn't seen the Predators or no, sorry, I haven't.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I hadn't seen Predators or the Predator. So we've watched
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: three of them so far, and out of those three,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I can definitely say Pray is my is my favorite
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: for sure. For sure. I love the original Predator for
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: what it is and what it you know, like what
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: it did. It's a great movie, but it's like a
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: test like you said, it's a testosterone fuel just like
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: circle Jerk, and you're like, we get it. Everyone's a
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: macho man. Uh, but you know it's so and and
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: for me too. The scores a little repetitive. It's a
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: little aggressive. The Predator noises are also repetitive. So it like,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know, like I'm not discrediting that it's not
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: a great movie. I feel it's a great movie, but
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: I just I don't really at the end of the day,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's I don't know. I don't think
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: it's like, oh my god, this is one of the
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: greatest cinematic experiences. Like, I think it's a solid movie.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: So that one's two for me, and then I'd probably say, uh,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Predators is next up. If it stuck the landing more,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: I feel like I would have liked it more. But
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: it didn't really left you with a lot of questions.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Clearly there was a plan for a sequel that did
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: not happen.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to say there was a plan first. Yeah, yeah,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: So that one was I was at like four stars
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: for me, and then the ending happened and I was like, Okay,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: but if that one was still really solid, I really
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: enjoy that one. And then down underneath that for me
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: would be Predator Predator two because like it it's just
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: like the first one set set you up for a
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: great and like it's funny because all these movies really
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: have nothing to do with each other besides the fact
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: that there's a gun that gets handed to one of
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: the characters. Yeah, and Predator two that correlates to pray And.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: It was fun because we didn't know about that tie in.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I was like, oh, that's a cool tie in.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: And then in Predators they mentioned, you know, the original
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Predator from the like from the original I just said
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: that twice. I don't know why I said that twice
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: is mentioned and actually is in the movie. So there's
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: there's tie ins, but it's really not like a continuing story,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: which is funny because you know, Child's play pretty like
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: you know, there's like a narrative there a Jason movies.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: They're a little all over the place, but there's still
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: some sort of narrative. This is just kind of like
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: four just random movies just about predators. It's very weird
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: or I guess technically five because of prey now, so
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: it's just like they don't really have anything to do
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: with each other. And Predator too, just was kind of
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: weird because it was like the Predator was this drug
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: lord or not a drug lord. He was killing all
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: these drug lords, and you're like, this is weird, kind
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: of a weird change of pace. I mean, I guess
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: I can command you for trying to do something different,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: but it's just kind.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Of it turned into like a weird detective story and weird,
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: and the film was just like, so it's supposed to
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: be post apocalyptic or not post apocalyptic, but like it's
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: supposed to be gang crime.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: In ninety seven ninety.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Seven, which is funny because we talked about how this
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: was set in ninety and they were actually, no.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: It was made in ninety set ninety seven.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: And in ninety two, there were actual race riots in
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: La ninety four.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: No, it's ninety two.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: There was a sublib song about it. It's ninety two,
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: and then they had and then like this was supposed
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: to be race riots, gang violence and all of that,
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: but holy shit, the sheer amount of stereotyping and just
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: like racial stereotyping was utterly insane. There were homophobic slurs.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: All of the black guys that weren't Danny Glover had
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: dreadlocks and were like chainsmoking joints the size of cigars.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: They also had the what I assumed to be the fake,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Oh my god accents.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: What were the accents, fake Jamaican accents because they were
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: all Jamaica. Yes, I thought it was Haitian at first,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: but then they clarified they were Jamaican gang run by
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: a voodoo lord.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: And you're like old, yeah, wild Willy or something. What
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: was his name was, I don't remember, Willy something, Willy.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was terrible. And the Colombians are all smoky
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: or cocaine and you're.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Like, holy, not even snorting cocaine. They're just taking fistfuls
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: and shoving it in their face. And you're like, one.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Guy just like ham fisted and goes and you're like, what.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: The fuck, just one throat at a fucking eight ball
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: of cocaine it was, And you're like, Wow, subtle.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Guys, so you know what, double shout out to pray
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: because not only was it what, because not only was
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: it strong female representation because it's even a girl trying
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: to like prove that she does not have to follow
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: the way the gender roles within her own try. But
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: it doesn't feel really like on the nose she's it
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: feels like more of an indep and this the thing,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: not just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I can't
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: do what I want. She's like, this is just what
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: I want to do.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm interested in doing this and I'm not conforming
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: to gender roles. And you go, girl, you do that.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it didn't. It just didn't feel so like heavy handed.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: It felt more subtle. But they went around and took
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: a minority group of people and made the whole film
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: centered around them their capabilities and just like representation, which
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: is a whole one eighty from what the fuck was
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: happening in Predator Too. And I can't think of a
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: whole lot of franchises that went from being wildly racist
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: to being great representation.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't I could name one, but.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I'm trying to think, I was trying to
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: think while you were talking. I can't think of a
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: single franchise that wasn't like really offensive in their earlier
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: films that did a full one eighty and of course,
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: anyone in the Native American community, a Native American community,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: if you feel like it wasn't good representation, please let
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: us know, because we thought it was, but maybe we
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, it seemed like it was.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Please inform us if you feel different. We are always
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: open to learning.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh yeah, so Predator two is definitely at the
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: bottom right now, I marry, I still gave it. So
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: I gave it a three base on the fact that,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: besides all the negative stuff it was, it was pretty silly,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: it was fun. It had a great cast, like it
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: had a very very good.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Cast, weirdly good cast for such a weird movie.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, so that one's all the way at
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: the bottom. We have to still watch, uh, the Predator
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: from twenty eighteen, and then we're gonna go through the
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: alien movies and then go to the a VP movies.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: So get some We will keep you next time you're on.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: We'll obviously uh update on that. But yeah, preddan movie
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: is good. Shit. Definitely watch pra if you haven't seen
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: that already Hulu Original I think, and uh yeah, let's
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: move on to two new movies we saw for this
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: year because I know we're not gonna we're not gonna
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: really be able to talk about what we do in
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: the Shadows.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: For that long short and there's not like it's not
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: a lot of plot points. It's a lot of mundane
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: things happening.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: So we've got time. We saw Actually, let's talk about
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: let's talk about Yeah, Body's Body's Bodies. That's a new
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: horror movie that just came out over the weekend, New
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: from a twenty four starring Pete Davidson and other people.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: I just know Pete Davidson because he's the most recognizable.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: But we had, oh my god, we had such a
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: weird experience of that theater because the whole food debacle.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: So I missed five minutes. You missed five minutes. But
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: essentially it's like.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: To rewatch the movie when focus on something other than
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: a burger.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna rewatch that movie for sure. So it's
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: about kids, or about a group of friends hanging out
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: during like a hurricane hurricane party, which is very Florida.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Say, they're like in their twenties, they're not children.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I related to that immediately because I was like,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: that's exactly what we do in Florida for hurricanes, have
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: a hurricane party and they play this game called Body's,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Body's Bodies where they have to figure it's like a
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: game where one person's the killer. It's like it's like.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: A you explain it because I was in the theater
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: for this part.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know, fine, okay.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Bodies Bodies, Bodies. They put an X on a piece
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: of paper and then put a bunch of pieces of
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: paper in a cup and everyone draws out a piece.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: If you have the X, you are the killer. They
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: turn off the lights and you have to kill people
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: by touching them on the back in the dark, and
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: then that person has to lay down dead while everyone
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: else is wandering around. But if someone else finds that body,
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: you yell bodies, bodies, bodies, and then everyone has to
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: come back together and see if they can figure out
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: who the killer was.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: There you go, so that happens, and then people start
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: actually dying for real. Za's and it's just like a
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: classic who done it? You know? Who's the big reveal
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: of the killer? And man has that reveal. Fucking awesome,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: super original. I never in a million years saw that coming.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, so hysterical.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: It might have been because I was weirdly tired the
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: whole film, because I was so tired last weekend.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I was, yeah, which was unusual for me.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: I'm usually not like tired all weekend, but I.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Was, well, at least not in a movie either. You
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: were almost like dozing off. I'm like, wake up, mother trucker,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: we got a movie away.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Well, last week was very like draining for me, so
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: like by the weekend I was just like completely tapped out,
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: so I was taking naps.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: It was terrible, I understand, But.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Well, I was like, oh, yeah, like this movie's been fun.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: I mean like I kind of want to see what
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: the reveal is because like we're kind of getting to
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: the end here and I'm like, you get the reveal
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: and you're like, holy shit, so good and I would
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: love to rewatch it. It is definitely very very gen x,
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: which was super amusing as people who spend a lot
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: of time on TikTok. Felt very much like watching a
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: bunch of people who yeah, and it was really fun.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Uh it was funny too, hilarious, it was super funny.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, entire film, thinking Wow, this would never happen to
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: me and my group of friends because all these people
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: are kind of.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Terrible and it's really funny because they are all terrible
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: and you don't really like any of them but you
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: and usually like that makes me angry. I'm like, I
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: have to relate to one person. But I loved it
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: because they were all bags.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: As shit, but they had that facade like.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, we're all, yeah, we're all friends, we know.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Each other, and then like the longer you go on,
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: You're like, ooh, these friendships are.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Thick paper thins.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: They are built on time and nothing else.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: It's perfect because I think that's exactly what they all needed.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Maybe not the death part, but they all needed to
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: see how shitty they were because they obviously didn't need
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: to be around each other because they were all toxic.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: Fucking hilarious. So that's a hysterical movie. Definitely, I'm gonna
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: rewatch that. Definitely going to own that for sure. Oh yeah,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: that was a fun time. And then this fucking sleeper
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: of a movie you found, not even on my radar,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: not even on your radar. You're just like, there's a
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: new fucking vampire movie with Jamie Fox and Snoop Dogg
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: coming out, and I'm like, that's enough fun information. I
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: need no more information.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: And as you know, I'm a sucker for vampire movies.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know I intended Jesus and we're doing
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: a vampire movie now. And we just did a you know,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: the episode one fifty was a vampire triple feature, so
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: I guess it is just time to be a vampire.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: But it's called Day Shift and it dropped on Netflix
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: literally the day we watched it, and it only had
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: like a two point you know, I'm gonna check it now.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: It was a two point nine.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: And had a two point nine when we watched it.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know what people didn't like about it. It
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: was fucking awesome. Yeah, like that movie came out of
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: nowhere too.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: There were moments where like we talked about the CGI
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: being a smidge off, but yeah, but I'm considering that
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: we watched Resident Evil Welcome to Raccoon City like the
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: next day, We're like that one day Shift is exponentially
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: better because that movie.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Was still still a two point eight. So that's that's
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: that's still solid. But oh man, it was so it
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: was fun.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Jamie Fox was great in it. It was just a
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: good time. Like I don't know what people didn't like
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: it was it was amusing, like visually fun. They built
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: up so much lore, like.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, the lore was super fun for vampires too.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: We were talking about it and we're like, god, I
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: would watch this as the show, yeah, because it's a
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: Netflix original, Like I would totally have watched this as
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: a show like them tracking down vampires every week or something,
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: because it's essentially about a guy who works the day
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: shift of vampire hunting, the shift that nobody wants.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no one wants that shift obviously because all the
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: vampires sleeping. And it's really and I think it would
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: be really funny because there's one character you think is
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: dead that comes back, and it would be really funny
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: if they did like a South Park thing where that
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: character dies every episode but then like comes back somehow
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: at the end. That would be a super fucking like
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: hilarious running gag. But uh yeah, this like came out
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: of nowhere, no warning, no nothing. You're just like this
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: movie's coming out Friday, and it was like Wednesday, and
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: it's like cool, let's watch it. Well watch what we
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: do on.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: TikTok or on Facebook or something.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, like yeah, cool, excellent, we
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: watched What We Do in the Shadows, the new episode
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: for this season, and then we watched that. I was like,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: this is perfect, so that that's on Netflix. Checked that
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: out too, because uh yeah, they're like the action is crazy,
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: the like the fighting scenes with the shotguns, it's just
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: so epic.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: It's oh my action was absolutely insane. We're just like,
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: what the hell's happening?
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: He meant, like the the like the cold opener, whatever
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: you want to call the first five minutes. I was like, Yeah,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: I was like, I'm in. I'm in for this. This
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: is amazing, so super fun movie. Definitely checked that out.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: It's a good time.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: It's a good time. We've also been obviously watching you know,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: like I mentioned a second ago, What We Do in
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: the Shadows the show. It's uh season four, episode like six,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: I believe, and uh it's it's just it's just as
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: hysterical as it's ever been, if not funnier. Like it's
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: such a goddamn good show. Yeah, it's so good.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Oh my god. And they like some of the ship
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: that comes out of the character's mouth. We've we've been
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: like screeched laughing at like we've done every type of
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: laugh watching this phil or A show. Just like we
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: decided one day that we were just gonna try it
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: because we've seen the movie multiple times. We're like, we
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: never watched the show, and we keep me eating to
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: do it. Let's just do it.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: And ye like three seasons and it was renewed for a.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Fourth, so I was like, there's a fifth and a
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: sixth yea, and.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: They're confirmed for five and six now, so I'm like,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: let's just get into this because it's only ten episodes
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: a season. Are they forty minutes?
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: No, they're twenty minute of.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're like, you know, twenty something minute episodes.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it's so funny.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: After the first episode, I was like, yeah, this is
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because if you've seen the movie, which obviously we'll
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: talk about, it's got the same basic time, the same
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: basic setup we have time, the same basic setup, and
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: just that whole like mockumentary style really works. But you know,
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: they've got more characters, more representation, a.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Lot of vampire cameos.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Holy crap, the vampire cameos alone are worth watching. Because
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: there was one episode which obviously I'm not gonna spoil
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: it because we had no idea that there were like
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: so many cameos in one episode We're like, are you
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: shitting me? And they're all vampire themed cameos. There are
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: people who have played vampires and other shows or movies
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: and yes, and Matt Barry who was in it crowd
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: as Laslow. Holy shit, he is just so funny.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: He's so horny. Oh my, so horny all the time.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: The cast is so strong, there's no outlier in the
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: cast like every time, like the character development, it's it's
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: so funny and it's just worth the watch, like it's
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: just something to put on to really enjoy. It is
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: of course for adults because some of the stuff they
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: say in that show. You're just like a li crap.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: I know, I don't understand how it's on cable and
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: they get away with all that. It's absolutely insane. I
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: know it's ad just a certain time, but the stuff
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: they say, so many swears, I'm just.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: Like, holy shit, very sexual stuff.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, very sexually charged swears. That's hard to say ten
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: times fast. But yeah, that's a hilarious show. You should
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: check out on Hulu as well. So Hulu has Prey
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: and What We Do in the Shadows. Netflix has Day Shift,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Bodies of Bodies. Bodies is obviously in theaters now, and
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: then they them it's Peacock, So you got a whole
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: bunch of shit that's new this year you can literally stream,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: which is awesome. And then one of the other shows
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: that we need to check out that was a spin
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: off of the movie is Wellington PD and it involves
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: the two cops in the movie that we're gonna talk
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: you know, in the movie that we will talk about
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: here in a second, which has four seasons about six
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: episodes per season for a total of twenty five. I
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: think season two has seven episodes, So that's really cool
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: that we need. Did you know where it's streaming.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: It is on HBO Max. I know because when I
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: was getting my tattoo, they were playing a bunch of
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: weird shows and at some point someone put that on
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: and somehow I didn't realize at the time, but a
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: pair I watched in parts because I was getting a tattoo.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: Obviously it was one hundred percent focused all of season one.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: Oh jeez.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: So I've only seen like bits of it because obviously
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: sometimes I couldn't see or hear it. Yeah, but yeah,
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: it's it's the same actors playing the same characters. There
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: are a couple of cameos from the original show, but
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: the fact that the or the original movie, the fact
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: that the movie got like two spinoff shows, You're just like,
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: people really dig this and it's the same writers, Takwa
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: and Jermaine Clement. But they also I think directed a
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: few episodes.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds about right. They did the same thing
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: with what we do in the Shadows. Yeah.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: I love that they kept with the projects. That's how
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: you know their quality too, because they didn't just slap
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: the name on it. They stuck with the projects, which
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: is how you know you get like the same kind
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: of comedy out of it.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I don't think Taikawa will ever not be funny.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: The day he's not funny, that's the day you know
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: something's wrong, something is wrong.

  Speaker 2: New Zealand cinema. You pretty much only watch New Zealand
• 44:46

  Speaker 1: Was also in Thirty Days of Night as Heron and
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: asked versus Evil Dead as Iligosligos, which is funny. So
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: he's played a vampire twice. Or maybe he wasn't a
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: vampire in Thirty Days of Nights, but I assume he
• 45:12

  Speaker 1: To Wormwood, the Lauzar's Effect, Chappie and sender Smella, let's
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: go down to this stuff here. Did you have a
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: specific horror memento? Because I sure dead.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's probably gotta be. When uh Viago, Like there's
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: a whole bit with him and how they're like saying,
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: put towels down before you bring someone home and bite
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: them because it keeps leaving a mess. And he bites
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: somebody in the neck. He's like talking to a girl
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: he brings home. He's like laying towels and newspaper down everywhere.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: Bites in the neck and immediately just sprays outward. What fuck.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: And he's like trying to like get it, and he's
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: like just laying there or he's just sitting there covered
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: in blood because it got everywhere, so the towels didn't
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: actually do anything.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: It was great. And then he goes, he goes to
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: adjust his shirt in front of the camera and you
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: can just hear the rustling. I don't know why. It
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: just kills me every time when you can just you know,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: you can hear them like that's clipped on him. It's
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: just like rust I don't know. I think it's hilarious.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: And his stupid fucking smile he does every time. Yeah,
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: no teeth smile. Specific horror moment for me was when
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: they uh, I'll just get to it when we talk
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: about it, because I know we're literally gonna mention the
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: party with Nick and all that story, you know, when
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: they bring everybody over. But that's mine favorite kill was
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: it also the same thing as your horror moment, Peter, Yeah,
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: that's mine too. It's it's it's sad, Yeah, it's sad
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: because you know, I don't want I didn't want him
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: to die, but it's so goddamn hilarious you can't not
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: love it. Favorite character, Oh God, that's hard to choose mine,
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: so it's so easy.
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: Stu.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: It's Stu. It's no offense to all the vampires, but
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: it's fucking Stu, mainly because.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: He's a software analyst.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: Because wasn't he like not even planned to be in
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: the movie, or there's.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: A he thought he was supposed to be like a
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: computer tech on the film, Like this is his only
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: acting crew.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the only thing.
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: He was supposed to just like be doing some stuff
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: for the film. He didn't and they like had him
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: in there as a small role. What he didn't realize
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: would actually be like a full on role in the film.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: He's just like went from being part of the crew
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: and a small bit part to like a whole portion
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: of the film.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hilarious. Definitely my favorite character. Yeah, but if
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: I had to pick, you know, a vampire, probably Viago
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: or No, probably Vladislav because he's just so I don't know.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: He gives me Laslow vibes. Yeah, yeah, because Nandor gives
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: me Viago vibes.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: I feel like they're kind of the same, Vladislav and Laslow,
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: and then I guess Natasha Deacon. Okay, maybe not really.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: I like that they changed up the personalities a lot,
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: but you still have two people who are very very
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: old with specific names.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, nan Or the uh, the relentless relentless That's right.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say conquered, but I knew that was't right. Yeah,
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: and not just honestly, not just probably my favorite.
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: Not just like a fucking boss.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: She's just she's so funny. Mean, Loslow is probably my
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: second favorite, just because of how ridiculous he is, but
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: not just honestly probably my favorite. And then Nandor he's
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: just so he's just so dumb.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: He's so funny though, he's so like selfish but like
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: so delicate, and he's like, I'm so tough and he's like,
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: but also I'm really worried, Like, you don't have to
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: be worried. Nobody said I was worried. Why would you
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: say I was worried?
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: Just like what he like confuses me with how with
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: how silly he is.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: But uh, they're like, it's such a solid cast. But yeah,
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: I I I love everybody in there.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah it's hard. Yeah, that's why I don't even have
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: a least favorite character in this because they're all awesome.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't really have anybody that that I don't
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: that I don't like.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: No, it's such a well done cast.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: Let's see here, did you have a favorite line? I
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: had too, but I'll just I'm just gonna do the
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: one favorite line.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: It's the virgin line.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, so ours is ours is the same. So it's
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: in reference to drinking virgin blood. And it's Vladislav that
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: says it. He says, I think of it like this,
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: if you were going to eat a sandwich, you would
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: just enjoy it more if you know that no one
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: had fucked it. And it's so ridiculous, it's so absurd.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: It gets a reaction out of me every time. Definitely
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: my favorite.
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: What's great is two things. One, you know, a lot
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: of this movie was improvised, so you know, Jermaine Clement
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: came a pet shot off the cuff. And two, uh,
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: like it's so such an unexpected analogy, Like.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're like, oh yeah, because people frequently fucked sandwiches,
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: that's the yeah for sure. Yeah, So that's that's just
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: the greatest, the greatest line ever. IMDb summary. We have
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: Yago Deacon and Vladislav or vampires who are struggling with
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: the mundane aspects of modern life, like paying rent, keeping
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: up with the Jore wheel, trying to get into nightclubs,
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: and overcoming flatmate conflicts. So we have Viago who's three
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: hundred and seventy nine years old, Deacon who is one
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: hundred and eighty three years old, and Vladislav who is
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: eight hundred and sixty two years old. I don't know
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: how old Pitia Peter.
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: It's just Peter.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: I know, I'd like the way they say. They say Pitia, Yeah,
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: just that least like the way they say. But he's
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: old as shit because he's a nose Feratu looking motherfucker,
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: so he's definitely up there in age. I just don't
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: know how old he is.
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: Yep, how are you gonna I'm waiting for you.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna make with the story.
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: Okay. So we're in New Zealand, Wellington, New Zealand. Okay,
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: So basically, it's a film crew has been given permission
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: because every year there is an unholy masquerade with a
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: secret society of vampires and stop it. And a film
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: crew has been granted special access to a group of
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: vampires who are willing to let them film and have
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: promised not to eat them while they film in the
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: months leading up to the event for a documentary. And
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: they have crosses in garlic, yeah.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: Just to protect them, just in case. But yeah, they've
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: been given like we won't you know, eat you essentially.
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: So the film starts with a very beautiful opening of
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: an alarm clock going off. It's six o'clock at night,
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: and Viago is waking up and rising out of his coffin.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: He's doing a whole straight, like stiff as a board,
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: rising like yeah, raising out of the coffin, which he
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: stops midway and then he's like uh and then gets
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: himself to keep going. And it's a beautiful, like cold opening.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: Remember when you showed this to me, I was like
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: so hesitant for some reason. I don't know why, because
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: I love mockumentaries, and I was like hesitant to watch
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: it because I was like, oh, it's probably not gonna
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: be that good. And I was cry laughing five seconds
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: in when he started doing that, and I was like,
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: all right, this is gonna be good.
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And uh So for the first like part of
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: the film, there really isn't like a lot in the
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: way of plot going on. You really just kind of
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: get a feel for the characters. They do their introductions
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: to the camera and you get to see Viago waking
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: up the different characters. Uh he goes into.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: I totally Deacon, who's he can thank you.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: I'm like blanked on Deacon's name for a second. There
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: Deacon's room to wake him up where he's sleeping upside
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: down in what appears to be a closet.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it's I'm pretty sure it's his closet.
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just a closet. So he wakes him up.
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: He goes to wake up lad Vlad is apparently in
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: his room, in a room or like that is now
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: all black. He's in the top corner writhing around in
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: sheets with a bunch of women and he's like oh,
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: and they all hiss at him. Fiago closes the door
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: and a second later it opens up. It's just a
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: regular room and lads like yes, hello, and he's like,
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: we're going to have a house meeting in fifteen minutes.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: He then goes to wake up Peter, who is modeled
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: after Thank You, in the basement with a chicken and
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: a bag, and talks to Peter about cleaning up his
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: space because there are just bones and blood everywhere and
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: he and he's sleeping in a straight up stone tomb coffin.
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: Stone coffin with the door that probably weighs a few, Yeah,
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: so they very old school.
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And so they're having their meeting and and they
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: kind of they're kind of just talking about like doing
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: their chores around the house, where then they of course,
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: like Yago talks about laying down towels and stuff when
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: they're going to feed on somebody because they're ruining his
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: antique couch, and of lads like which one the red one?
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: He's like, well, it's.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: Red now, red now?
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: And they get they talk about like dusting the hallways,
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: and they get onto Deacon because he hasn't done the
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: dishes in five years, and they're like, well, you know,
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: if we're gonna bring somebody over to kill them, we
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: want the place to look nice. And Deacon's like, what
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: does it matter, we're going to kill them, Like, yes,
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: you're not wrong, And so we really just kind of
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: get to get a feel for their lives, how they
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: deal with getting dressed, how they deal with going out,
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: and since they can't be seen in mirrors and reflections,
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: they don't cast a reflection. Uh, they draw pictures of
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: each other or model each other's outfits, which is spectacular,
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: so they can.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: See what they would look like in it. Because apparently
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: you know, your clothes don't make a reflection.
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And they talk about how they get clothing because
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: they're all dressed very old fashioned, but it's supposed to
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: be said in like modern times. And most of them
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: are wearing shirts that are like still full on, like
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: have call like the high collars and ruffles, very regency
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: era clothing. And you know, they're talking about how they
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: get other clothes, like oh, you know, sometimes you bring
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: someone home and while you're feeding on them, you're like, oh,
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: I like those pants.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: Fucking Viago has the that she's trying to wear the
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: camo pants, like, no, take them off, it does not work.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: They kind of introduce themselves. Viago talks about how he
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: made it over to New Zealand because he was chasing
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: a woman that he loved. Unfortunately, he's familiar at the time,
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: put the wrong postage on his coffin, on his box,
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: and it took eighteen months to get there, so by
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: the time he got there, she was already married to
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: somebody else. And Vlad is introduced. He is the oldest
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: after Peter and vlad is a known as Vladislav the
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: Poker because he was known for torturing people with poking
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: instruments and.
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's why he gets so excited when he when
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: Stu was telling him about poking people on Facebook.
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, Oh, he's like really like you or you can
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: poke him. He's like really really, And he's clearly modeled
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: off of Vlad the Impaler. Here's supposed to give off
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: the most Dracula.
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: Vibes, which is funny because he has some Brownstoker's Dracula
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: hair going on. Towards the end of the.
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: Movie, yeah, was supposed to into that they're very good
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: at making nods to the uh to you know, vampire culture,
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: and he talks about how he is an arch nemesis
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: named the Beast, and there's an image and a noise
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: that happens every time someone mentions the beast.
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: Pretty much what I just did. Yeah, I think it's
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: like a bat or something like that on screen.
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and uh. Deacon is then introduced as the bad Boy,
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: which is hilarious because he's not that bad, but they
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: call him the bad boy because he does the wildest stuff,
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: which involves air humping. And he's like, yes, and as
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: a vampire, we're very sexy. And he just looks like
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: a middle aged guy and he's just like wearing leather
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: pants and he's just kind of gesturing to himself. The
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: visual comedy in this on point. Yeah, So we really
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: get to see them just kind of how they interact
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: with each other, how they go about their day to day,
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: how they go about feeding. Deacon has a femiamiliar, a
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: woman who really wants to get turned, who keeps pressing
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: for that to happen, but Deacon keeps pushing it off.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: And one night whill are out the clubs because every
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: evening they go out to the club, so, you know,
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: try to get someone to feed on.
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: As you do.
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: He discusses with her getting people brought to the house
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: for them to feed on, you know, just talking about descriptors.
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: They'd prefer virgins, but not children, and so she's going
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: to go locate some of them. And then you get
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: to hear her talk about being a familiar, which if
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: you're not familiar with there's no other way to say
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: that you're so familiar is someone who is with a
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: vampire works for a vampire who is a human, and
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: they work for a vampire in hopes of being changed
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: into a vampire at some point.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: Can we talk about that dynamic too for a second,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: because I find it hilarious that in most iterations of Dracula,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, I understand the need to have a
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: familiar because you want someone to do stuff for you,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: but you promise them you'll turn them into a vampire.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: So why don't you do that? Ever, because it's like
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: they're not doing it to Guierramo and what we do
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: in the Shadows, they don't do it to that chick
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: in the movie. It's like every time someone is a familiar,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: they're always like, okay, so when is it my turn
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: to be the vampire? And they're like yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: she's is just later it's like, so it's just always funny,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: Like there's that trope where the vampire has the familiar
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: that he doesn't really want to turn.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: Well, the thing is it's an abusive power relationship because
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: they need someone for daylight hours. You don't want to
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: get one, change it, and then now you got to
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: get another one that you got to do the same
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: thing with.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, it's just funny because they'll turn other people,
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: but then they're familiar. They're like maybe never, I'm just
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: gonna keep you until i'm gonna keep you to your
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: old and dry up and then and then to get
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: somebody else.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: Pretty much.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: It's just funny.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: So they decide to have a dinner party. She's gonna
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: bring over guests. She brings over two people, one who
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: is named Nick and then other who is named blonde girl.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: There's other ones.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: Nope, there's a total of two guests.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: I thought it was Nick, a guy and a girl.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: Nope, they are a total of two guests. And so
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: they and their hilarious vampire humor start playing jokes on them.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: They're feeding them food and they're like, here you go.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: They open up canned spaghetti and just dump the cold
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: right under their plates. So they're kind of picking at
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: it and eating and talking, and they play the Lost
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: Boys joke of like, oh, do you like your basketti
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: because which they call it busketty because you're eating worms.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: And they do that to Nick and then also can
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: vince Nick that there is a snake where his penis
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: should be.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: Hilarious, hilarious silly jokes.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So they start feeling like this whole thing is
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: kind of weird. Uh. They look out the window though,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: and Janet Janice whatever her name is, the familiar. It's
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: totally dipped, and then the vampires get to work on
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: Nick and the girl. The girl dies immediately. Nick it
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: does a really spectacular run through on the house, like
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: running all over the place, being chased from room to room,
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: and did you want to share your favorite horrorle this is.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: My specific horror moment. Once he runs away and he's like,
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: fuck this, there's this very eerie music. It's like really
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: bad trumpeting. It's like, you know, and it's really creepy.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: As he's running through the house and he opens the
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: door and sees his you know, the other girl just
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: like you know, Viago's bitten her and she's spewing blood
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: out and he's.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: Like trying, which is funny enough. The second time that happens.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: He's just really bad.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: At really bad at it. And then he's running around
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: and sees, uh, so Vladislav can shape shift, but he's
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: really you know, he's really bad with the faces. So
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: he looks down. Nick is running around, looks down and
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: sees a cat but it's just got Vladislav's face on it, and
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: it's fucking horrifying.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: Jermaine Clement's face on a cat body.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so horrifying but also hysterical. And then he finally
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: thinks he's gotten away, and then the music cuts out,
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, a hand comes out
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: of his backpack and starts to grab him, and it's
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: a Deacon. And then the weird you know, hippie music
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: or whatever you want to call it comes back, and
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: it's just kind of creepy and like like spooky. So
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: I was like, that's my horror moment.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: Because such a great shot though, when he like literally
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: pulls the bag as Deacon's trying to like climb out
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: of it across the floor. Deacon's crawling with the backpack.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a really cool scene how they did that. Yeah,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: so that's my little horror moment because it was pretty spooky.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: But then eventually he runs smack into Peter who in
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: the yard, who takes him down. But then you find out,
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: like I think it cuts to like two months later,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: and go ahead.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: You're cutting to the you're telling the story.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: Now, why can't I tell some of the story.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: You didn't say you want to do so I wasn't
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: prepared for that.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: Fine, go ahead, So.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: Nick hauls ass out of the house and as he
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: thinks he's gotten away, Peter body tackled him. Yeah, you
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: want me to lose track before I'm at or do
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: you want to be snarky?
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: Fine, So Peter tackles Nick when.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: He's out and they're like, oh no, pe dog got
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: him and they're like, oh, that poor guy. And then
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: it cuts to two months later where Deacon is doing
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: a sexy dance for his friends, which is the most
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: sensual dance ever filmed on uh in a in a movie.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: Pretty erotic.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty pretty hot, spicy. H This is why
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: the films are.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: Alone. Nothing else, nothing else.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: And Nick is after second story window knocking and talks
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: about how Peter turned him into a vampire. And it
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: should be said that Deacon has also been turned by
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: Peter many years ago, so you know he's got a
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: close bond with Peter because of that.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they have that little conversation where Peter doesn't
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: say a word, He just kind of sits there and
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: sometimes he not nods a little bit and got crazy
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: blue smoking eyes. It's awesome.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So you know they're kind of in clearly annoyed
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: by Nick's presence, but like at first, they kind of
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: try to welcome him in, but they he doesn't take
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: it seriously, like keeping the vampire thing under wraps, So
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: they try to lie outside, yeah, outside of their house
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: where anyone could see. So they're immediately kind of annoyed
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: by that. But he talks about maybe he can just
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: like help bring them into the twenty first century and
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: really help them with modern times and stuff. So he
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: really all he does to help them with that is
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: show them how to make record mixing noises. Yeah, and
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: that's about it. But then he brings in his buddy
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: Stu Do Stu, who everybody loves, which clearly irks Nick
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: because he brings his Stew in as his friend and
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: Nick is not like near as much as Stu as
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: everybody likes stew He's just a computer analyst who is
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: a human who it was Nick's sisters ex boyfriend, and
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: they just remain friends.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: And all the vampires like welcome him to again the
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: Viago even like, yeah, we haven't had a human friend
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: in like a while.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they even promise not they've all agreed not
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: to eat him. And he shows them how to use
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: a camera, so yeah, digital camera so they can see
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: their outfits finally and shows them how to use the computter,
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: like use the internet, uh, showing them karate, like all
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: sorts of stuff. So they all love Stu. Yeah, texting
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: uh deacon even uh is even knitting him a scarf
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: at one point.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: So they like form a little group where they all
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: go out together to the clubs and Stu does even
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: help or sorry, Nick doesn't even help get them into
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: a club they've always wanted to get into but they
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: couldn't get the invite because he knows the bouncer. So
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: they're having a lot of fun. The problem is, as
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: well they're having all this fun, Nick still does not
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: get the concept of, you know, being low key. So
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: he's been running around and telling literally anybody that he's
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: a vampire. He keeps going, you know Twilight, Twilight, that
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: guy in Twilight, I'm the guy the Twilight guy.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: Like what.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: He has a conversation with a guy and he's like, oh,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: I'm a vampire and the guy goes, oh, I'm a
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: vampire hunter. He's like, ah, shut the fuck up, You're
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: so funny. And then he's like, I'll give you my
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: email and then leaves and you're like what and even
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: scares the hell out of a store clerk at one
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: point who's being sarcastic with him after he says he's
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: a vampire, so you know they're they're kind of like, dude,
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: you gotta keep it under wraps. And he's also wearing
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: the same style jacket as Deacon, which really upsets Deacon.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: He gets into a fight with Deacon about it, and
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: if they get into a bat fight where they both
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: turn into bats and then fight, it's it's amazing fight.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: And he then gets upset and tries to eat uh,
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: French fries, which make him violently puke because in this
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: version of vampires, vampires can't eat people food.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: It makes the meal, Yeah, makes the vomit blood. Yes,
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: so fucking like a fire.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: It's full on ex ors dist just like projectile vomiting blood.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: And so like, you know, he's kind of upset about that.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: And then we cut to the h the next morning
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: where there everyone they hear screaming in their house. Everyone's sleeping,
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: they hear screaming. Everyone goes running. Well, they go to
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: the basement. Peter is full on on fires, running around
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: like Deacons trying to run down there and save him.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: Ladov gets a cupful of water to throw at him,
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: but he's like full on engulfed in flames, so that
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: does absolutely nothing, yes, and they get upset at the
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: cameras like a friend has just died and a freak
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: sunlight accident, which then when the smoke finally clears, they
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: go down and see that it is a vampire hunter
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: who has killed Peter, and Nick goes, oh shit, I
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: know that guy, and it turns out.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: It's the guy from the bar Jackass.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: Which then leads to a full on altercation between Nick
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: and Deacon again because Deacon's pissed, and so they're like
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: literally like fighting on the walls when vampires get upset
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: by the way they can fly and float, so they
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: are like Blad is holding Deacon down by the ankles
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: and Nick is like in the corner of the wall
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: saying like calm down, calm down. When they get a
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: knock at their door because the police have shown up
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: because of a noise complaint and because smoke coming out
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: of the house. So if Iago has to which are
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: these are the police officers that are in Wellington Paranormal,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: It's same actors, same character Wellington PD. I thought it
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: was Wellington Paranormal.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: I thought it was Wellington p D.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: I love the check real quick.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: You keep talking.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: So they are so I Viago answers the door and
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: he's like, oh shit. So he just kind of casually
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: tries to hypnotize them, which is really funny. He's like,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: he's like, you're not going to notice anything out of
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: the ordiner. He's like, well, with sure, hope not. And
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: he's like, I'm very bad at hypnotizing people, so this
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: could wear up at any time. So they go through
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: the house. There's some extremely funny moments, like they walk
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: into the room with Peter and with Nick in the
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: corner and Deacon floating with Vlad holding him down, and
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: they're like looking around and they're like, are you seeing
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: what I'm seeing? They're like, yeah, I am, and they're
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: like there are no smoke detectors in this room.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: So yeah. So essentially, anything that is wrong in the house,
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: like the dead vampire hunter or all the other shit,
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: they just don't see. But they are asking questions about
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: things like the vampire hunter. They're like, he's like, mate,
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: he's just on the floor, like.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: You gotta partying, Like that doesn't look like he's had
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: a good time, Like, you're gonna leave him like this,
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: He's gonna feel terrible tomorrow.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: It's fucking it's like, it's my favorite team in the
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: in the entire in the entire movie. It's just fucking
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: brilliant writing. It's so funny.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: That's why I was like when I realized who they
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: were when I was getting the tattoo and I saw
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: the show, I'm like, oh my god, there's a show
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: about there's a show of this.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So I.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: Think after that they give the invitation to the ball
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: pretty much not yet.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: All right, well I'm trying. If you stop interrupting, I
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: will get there. So obviously they're very upset with Nick.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: They decide to cast him out, but Stew's allowed to
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: come back anytime he wants. They decide to cast him out,
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: and he is no longer welcome in the group. And
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: this is where it cuts to seven months later, when
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: they are actually receiving their invitation to the Masquerade, And
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: this is where we're gonna stop. There's a lot more
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: that happens, and a lot more like reveals, resolutions, that
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: kind of thing, beast, but we really want to leave
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: that because there's just so much to enjoy in this film,
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: Like every you don't go a minute without something fun happening.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then the were wolves obviously show up and
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: the beasts as well. So yeah, I can't recommend this
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: movie enough. It's one that it's one that you showed
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: me a while back that I'm glad you.

  Speaker 1: Nailed it, Yep, trivia. We've got about an hour or
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty five hours of footage was shot,
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: most of which was improvisation from the cast. The process
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: of editing that down to a ninety minute movie took
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: almost a year. I'm not gonna read that last sentence
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: because I don't think that's true. The building used for
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: the exterior shots of the vampire's house used to be
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: Peter Jackson's office. Jermaine Clement and Taikawa Tit wrote one
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty pages of script, but shows not to
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: show it to a single person involved in the film,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: both crew and cast. They only described ow that I
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: heard that that was her neck, wasn't it? Wow? They
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: only describe broad strokes of what each scene was about,
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: sometimes providing a beginning and an endpoint. This was to
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: keep things spontaneous. And to allow the actors to be
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: surprised by the events unfolding before their eyes.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. Like so much of this was
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: ad libbed.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: Holy shit, it's beautiful. It's beautiful. Takawati based his performance
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: on his mother. Jermaine Clement based his on Gary Oldman
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: and brumps Ergus Dralacula, which is probably why he has
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: the hare later in the movie. The hill where the
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: vampires have a run in with were wolves is the
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: same hill filmed in Lord of the Rings of Fellowship
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: of the Ring where Frodo and Hobbits are running from
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: the Black Rider and hiding under the broods of a tree.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: Pretty cool. The movie initially did not do very well
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: in its homeland, New Zealand, so distribution to the United
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: States was canceled. The directors were able to bring screenings
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: of the film to the US after a successful Kickstarter
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: fundraising campaign, where eventually became the most pirated movie of
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: the year, which is hilarious. Each of the characters are
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: similar to a vampire from a famous movie. Peter is
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: uh is analogus analogous analogous, where Peter is a Nalo analogous. Okay,
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: yeah to count Orlock from Nos Faratu. Obviously, Deacon reflects
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: David from The Lost Boys, Vladislav is compared to Gary
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: Oldman's Dracula, Nick is reminiscent of Edward from Twilight, and
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: Viago is like Luis de Pont du Lac from Interview
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: with the Vampire The Vampire Chronicles nineteen ninety four. The
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: bars and nightclubs the vampires visit are actual bars in
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: Wellington's entertainment district based around Courtney Place. And we've already
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: said this, but the police officers who arrived to the
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: house later have their spin off show called Wellington Paranormal.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: It is Paranormal, NOTPD another Taikowa td Germaine Clement production goofs.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: At the beginning of the movie, Vladoslav says Viago was
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: an eighteenth century dandy before becoming a vampire. If Viago
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: was three hundred and seventy nine years old in twenty thirteen,
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: that means he was born in sixteen thirty four, more
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: than a century before the appearance of Dandies. Factual error.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: During Nixed Trial and Vladislav is talking to Viago, vlad
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: visibly breaks character and smiles and quickly returns to a
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: straight face. I forgot to look for that, but I'm
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: sure it's there if everyone was improving. Just saying the
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: Unholy Masquerade, the camera pans from a pack from a
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: packed dance floor to a large mirror that only shows
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: Stu dancing as a single zombie collapse along to the music,
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: except that all the witches, banshees and other zombies should
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: also be reflected. Yeah, since not everyone's a vampire. And
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: then at around ten minutes, then the vampires draw pictures
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: of each other to show how their clothing looks because
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: their images don't reflect in the mirror. Well, the vampires
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: themselves wouldn't show up their clothing should since the cup
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: of since a cup one vampire's holding up does show
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: in the mirror, proximity to the vampire's body shouldn't be
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: a factor. So that's what I was saying, Like, they're
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: clothes don't appear in the mirror, but they do in
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: the you know what I'm saying.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: So it is that actually came up in when we
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: saw when we were watching Day Shift, like the clothes
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: were reflected, but the.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, that was really cool something that I hadn't
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: seen probably.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: Wasn't in the budget to make that happen though.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, but and it's also like it's a little thing.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: It's not like it's a big goof, but it is
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: a thing to recognize. Rated seven to six out of
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: ten on IMDb and four point one out of five
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: on Letterbox. I gave this a four and a half.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: I think it is a brilliant movie. Yeah, well, and
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: you gave it five fine, Yeah, yeah, it's perfect.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: It's like my the films you can put on the
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: top of your letterbox page. Yeah, it's the fourth one
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: on there.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: Oh really yeah, nice. Yeah, it's just it's a fucking
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: brilliant movie. It's it's so goddamn good. The rewatch factor
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: is great on this as well. It's just as funny
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: this time that I watched it then it was the
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: first time I watched, and I've seen it probably three
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: or four times at this point. It's just a it's
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: just a very well done, hilarious movie, and it doesn't overstay.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: It's welcome and an hour and twenty four minutes. We're
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: talking an hour and twenty minutes. A movie like that
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: is a that is the perfect length for a documentary.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: Style of movie. It doesn't drag its feet. There's comedy
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: every few seconds, minutes, whatever, and it's just it's just
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: a fun story. So be sure to check that out
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: as you have and then once you check out the movie,
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: be sure to check out the show because there's four
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: seasons currently and it is renewed for five and six,
• 1:19:13
