  Speaker 1: I've written a letter to Daddy.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: His address is heaven.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Above I've written, dear Daddy, we miss you I wish
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: you were with us through love. Instead of a stamp,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I put kisses.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: I guess as we get into this, we should tell
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: everybody about the movies that we could watch unless they
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: give us a better option. Because normally I'll go through
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: the ones that I've run into in the real world
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: and I'll look at the, I usually will find these
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: weird ones in stores and I'll be like, what the
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: hell is this? And it's a legit question most of
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: the time. I don't even know that some of them
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: are movies. But this time I'm looking through the list.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: I'm like, we usually at least try to find a
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: tie in or some sort of weird theme to what
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: we're actually watching this week. Nothing really fit. So I
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: was like, I wonder what other stuff could be tied
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: to this movie that we watched this episode. And, you know,
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: you find you go online. Don't get me wrong. The
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Internet is a wonderful place and I make use of it.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: All the time. But a lot of times people who
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: think they're like, 10 horror movie remakes you never knew existed.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: I'm like, really? The fog? Because I knew it existed.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: You're not blowing my mind here. Every once in a while,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: I'll get the one that I'm like, oh, you have
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: dug deep. Good for you. So there were tons and
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: tons of those same remakes from the beginning of this
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: century that we all know about. But I did get
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: to this and I went, oh, well, this has a
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: direct tie into our movie of the week. In 1991,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: there is a made for TV redone version of Whatever
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Happened to Baby Jane.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, really? Yes.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: I did not know that. And I guess impressively at
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: the time, it stars the Redgrave sisters.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: As the sisters. So I'm like, that's an even more
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: direct route than the original one. So there's a threat.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: And truthfully, I watched the little promo on ABC, and
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: it's like, tonight's movie of the week. And I was like,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: you know, this at least looks interesting. I don't know
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: that I'm going to say better, because I'm a pretty
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: big fan of the original, but I would watch it, so... I've.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: Never seen the original. It's one of those ones, it's
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: like one of these days.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: It is worth seeing. It is, especially for as old
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: as it is, it is pretty crazy. It is a
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: nice portrayal of weird and crazy for that long ago.
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I haven't seen that either, but I want to.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: I know I would like it. The original version?
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: The remake, I'm looking at stills from the remake and
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: it looks fairly creepy.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: There was a good one to throw out. I was like,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: you know, I could go either way on that. Yeah.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Usually it's a threat that I don't want to see,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: but watching the promo, I'm like, I'd watch this. So
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: if you think we should watch that, you know, join
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: the Meltdown Horror Club and suggest that is the movie
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: we actually need to watch.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: There's so much going on in that picture.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Ooh. If you think the... Oh, yeah. Disturbing. If you
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: think that remake is a terrible idea and it's a
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: travesty to ever try to remake the original, then... You
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: should join the Meltdown Horror Club and give us a
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: better option than this remake that you think we shouldn't watch.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: These are your options. It's good to have options. That's
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: what we're hoping for as we get into these episodes
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: where we say crazy things like this.
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: And it's kind of slow and it's a lot of
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: different sources of this footage. So you're like following a
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: guy who has like a paranormal TV show. And kind
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: of seeing his cases, but then it cuts to like
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: a variety show TV thing where they're testing psychic skills
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: of children, which I guess happens in Japan sometimes.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: And then so it kind of is back and forth
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: and you're putting it all together.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: I almost feel like instead of making that a twist ending,
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: if they had incorporated that into the story as it
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: was happening, you might have been like, ooh, okay.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Maybe not from the get-go, but maybe midway in, you
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: might be like, oh. Into the second act, maybe throw
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: it in there. Dude, but it does like a really
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: cool way of like throwing you into this scenario. And
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: that's really the only thing that ties all of this together.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: It's always just sort of like, weird story arc that
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: you're like oh i feel bad for this guy and
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: as he goes on you're like he keeps making these
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: horrible decisions that you're like i don't know what to
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: do with you as a character anymore so.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Fun but i saw it when i was 14 it
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: was like one of the first horror movies i watched
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: with my best friend at a sleepover we've watched it
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: many times since it's campy it's fun i like the setting.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Technicality they even address in the movie well i think
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: it takes about 39 years for bones to turn to
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: dust and i don't know if that's true or not
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: but you've already established something and then but that.
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: Whole thing it was like these women are hot i
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: want to do violence to them yes i.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Don't like her but i still want to do her
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: and that makes me angry yes i don't know yeah
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: if your family's messed up your family's messed up and
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: it's going to not necessarily get better or worse, but
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: it's going to be weird and different and possibly even
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: more intensified when you're in this little isolated world or
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: they ship you off to weird places because they have
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: money to do that. Just, ah, she's causing trouble. Let's
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: sweep that under the rug. We'll get rid of her
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: and send her off somewhere.
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: Although one of the women who's kind of a central
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: character is an actress going by her own name. So
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: I don't know how meta that is, because I don't
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: know how famous she was.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: And then when we find out they're from Florida, I'm like, oh, really?
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: If I cared about everybody who died horrifically or mysteriously
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: in Florida, I would get nothing else done.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: But it is weird. Like, she was kind of, like,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: thrown into these lead roles and was sort of poised
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: to be a huge star. And then it just didn't
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: work out.
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: And it's really creepy.
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: It's a creepy, very well-done, spooky... There's some kind of
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: like folk horror stuff going on there.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: What the hell's a cousin's keeper?
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: He's a little, he's his cousin coming from out of
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: town to visit, but he's a puppet, but no one
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: else is a puppet and it's never spoken of.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm thinking of now. I was like, well,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: it does add an extra layer of creepy to things now.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: With his character, it wouldn't take all that long because
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: his eye holes or his eyes are still exposed.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: And he was still alive kind of. Yeah, that sucked.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: I was just like, what?
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Especially when his buddy's like, I'll help you, and peels
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: his face off. And then says, oh, my bad.
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: I'll help.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: And then just keeps doing it.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I know, he keeps doing it.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Face off.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: Because he kills them in such violent ways. Like, he
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: literally chops the one guy's head off. And I'm like,
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: you're making your job harder for yourself. Wow, the volume
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: on that outfit. There's so much going on.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: Is it easy to cut a person's... Or is it
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: that easy to cut a person's tendons?
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but everybody... I don't know anybody who's
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: not horrified by the thought of that. Everybody who's ever
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: seen Pet Simulator still talks about that. Nothing else in
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: that movie has stuck with people over the years, but
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: they're just like, ugh! Everybody freaks out.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying, in this movie, they just walk up
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: behind him with a pair of scissors and just snip it.
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: I don't even know how big it is. Does it
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: run the whole length, or is there a certain spot?
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: I feel like... With the F for me with the scissors,
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: you'd be like, excuse me, what are you doing?
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, with scissors, it'd be a little more fighting. If
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: you had like a scalpel.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: You'd be like, what is this pet cemetery bullshit?
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like, hey, hey, hey, hey. You know, permanent monster,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: get off me.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: No.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Stop, stop, stop.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Just once, I'd love to see a reaction like that
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: in a slasher film.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Just, no, you go over there. Get away from me.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Put those down.
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: Stop it. A little spray bottle?
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: I want you to think about what you've done. He's
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: still working. Wow, good for him.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: This is not what I would expect a show Cousin
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: Skeeter to be at all.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: And how did this sail past my radar? 1998.
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: Someone put Cousin Skeeter on the list.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: It can count as horror. Oh, no. Okay, moving on.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Before I get sucked down the baby Jane rabbit hole.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: That's what happens, see? You'll be baby Janed up real quick. So,
• 9:15

• 9:18
  Speaker 3: us a movie to watch. Better, worse, or that one.

  Speaker 3: Whatever you want to do. Even if you just hate
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: us and want us to suffer. That seems like it
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: happens sometimes, and not even... I think we do that
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: to ourselves. There's some Spangoolie somewhere pulling the strings on
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: this nonsense. Pull the strings.
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: Pull the strings whatever happened to baby jane she could
• 9:42
