Treehouse Of Horror XVIII (S19E05) · Four Finger Discount (Simpsons Podcast)

That was so hot. I love watching you do other guys. I'd like
0:05
to see you do a guy sometime. It can be arranged. Four finger
0:12
Discount dude, welcome to forfigure discount. With this week, we're here to
0:31
review the eighteenth installment of the Treous of Horror franchise. It is Tres of
0:35
Horror eighteen and I am guys, and yeah, a slightly less spooky tree
0:43
has not as much horror in this Treehouse of Horror as one might expect.
0:46
You mentioned to me before we were recording the other day one about Seinfeld podcasts.
0:49
I think it would have been you didn't really enjoy this one. I
0:52
am going to say that I really enjoyed the Mister and Mister Smith parody.
0:56
Granted, no horror, still violent, not horror, but still violent,
0:59
still blood thirsty. The final one I thought was a bit. It started
1:03
off okay, I like the trick or tree aspect of it, and then
1:04
I sort of went into a riff on what was it? A riff one
1:07
in the end, the Seven Deadly Sins. But it's a particular thing.
1:10
It's on the wiki page. Well, yeah, I mean they have things
1:12
in the US during hellwhen called hellhouses or heckhouses in here. Yeah, yeah,
1:18
in this case because it's yes, orchestrated by Ned Flanders, who's not
1:23
gonna well. The Heackhouse is inspired by the Garden of Earthly Delights, painted
1:26
by Dutch Renaissance painter I can't say his name, Hieronymous Bosh Horonymous bo Okay,
1:32
Yes, so that's what the basis of this story was. The frame
1:36
story of Heckhouse is inspired by the horror film classic Seven Footprints to Satan.
1:40
Like in the film, has the heckhouse the function to teach about morality.
1:44
I don't know how much of a classic. I've never heard of it,
1:46
okay, but it says horror film classic according to Wikipedia, and it never
1:49
lies to us. I'll get up to Seven Footprints to Satan. Let's get
1:53
it up. I'll tell you when it first came out. It looks like
1:56
it's old because the poster is like handpainted. It came out in nineteen twenty
2:00
nine. Oh, I think anything more than hundred years. I was just
2:01
defined as a classic. It's a classic. We're just calling things a classic
2:05
now. But yeah, I was of the mind that because there's a documentary
2:08
called is it I think it's called hell House LLC. And you've got this
2:12
company that basically sets up spooky houses all over the place, but they have
2:15
a bit of a Christian undertone as well as like, well you go to
2:19
HG Double hockey Sticks if you do this, this or this. Okay,
2:23
So that's what this is similar based on. I think so. Yes,
2:25
I think I enjoyed the second one the most. I will say I was
2:29
kind of disappointed because you know how much I love ET. My son's name
2:32
is Elliott. I've got a giant Et statue in here. Et is my
2:35
favorite movie voice. You're looking at me, Yes, yes, but I
2:42
feel personally attach. The thing is, I remember when they first marketed it's
2:46
going to be an ET segment on Tres of Horror and being so genuinely excited.
2:50
I think I've been that excited for a tress or a segment in a
2:52
long time. My two favorite franchises coming together, and I couldn't have been
2:55
any more disappointed. I didn't think there was any real humor in that one.
3:00
It felt like a rushed, non thought out, just beat for beat
3:06
take on it, except for the fact that the aliens are here to invade
3:08
in the end. But in the end of it where they just kill them
3:12
and then Homer smothers the alien at the end. I thought, this is
3:15
just im poor taste. It is. It's kind of mean spirited. I
3:19
think you're laying a trap for yourself if you're going to, first of all,
3:22
do a parody of the parody of ET. I mean, it's such
3:24
a beloved film, and beloved for very specific reasons. I mean, it
3:28
tends to be a film that a lot of people, yourself included, very
3:31
very close to Ye, there's a lot of nostalgia for it. Laying a
3:35
second trap by doing a parody of it or paying tribute to it during a
3:38
Treehouse of Horror episode, it's like, okay, well we'll take the beloved
3:42
ET put a bit of a sinister but humorous twist on it. Degree of
3:46
difficulty is somewhere around nine point eight. Even though even though I mean,
3:52
you go back and you look at Et, particularly before he reveals himself all
3:57
day, we don't know what gender ET is. If the kids say that's
4:00
true, they do. But apparently spielbergers said, since that he's a plant,
4:04
so he's non he's non binary because he's a plant. So it's some
4:09
someone on on the zone the other days, Like what if we went home
4:12
to ET's planet and everyone else they were all wearing clothes. He's just a
4:17
freaking I mean, we do see at the start another more enclosed day is
4:21
a funny gag, that's true. But then but then on top of that,
4:27
Yeah, you kind of dropped the ball by doing it in this kind
4:31
of mean spirited fashion. I mean, it should have been that the cops.
4:36
You should have taken the same trait as the cops are the bad guys
4:39
here, not the AD. I understand what you're trying to go for with
4:42
Treos of horror, but the shinning right, the shitting just follows the shining
4:46
right with the Simpsons twist, you completely you took the ET vibe and he
4:50
had similar elements there, but you just completely changed the story. I don't
4:54
think that's what ET fans wanted. I don't think that's what ET fans want,
4:58
absolutely not. I mean, you're trading on the ET name, so
5:01
you probably basically have to play by ET rules. I like the I mean
5:06
I think when I was saying to you, I didn't like this episode,
5:09
Daniel, can we not record it? You literally said that you didn't listen
5:12
to and exactly that voice. But I say, I like the idea behind
5:18
each of these segments. I think they all work. And you know,
5:21
me being the Monday morning quarterback that I'm like, I would have done this
5:25
way, like I said, with the two greatest words in the English language
5:29
hindsight, unless, as I know, it's one word, don't worry,
5:32
can't put him that's a joke. Oh it's twenty twenty now of these handsag
5:38
glasses. Yeah, I think these are all good ideas. I could see
5:44
how they'd work in this very How long is each segment of a tree house
5:46
of r It's usually what five minutes? Well there is sometimes they dedicate more
5:49
to others, but it's usually five minutes five to six minutes each. Ish
5:53
this one would have been that for this because we had the intro, which
5:56
I'll touch on later as well. Yeah, but okay, you've got the
5:59
story of which is very loving, very understanding. It's like, oh,
6:01
you know, he's stranded on this planet and we have to help him.
6:03
Let's get him home. Oh, when he's not stranded, it's like,
6:06
wait a minute, he's and we're just as bad. In fact, we're
6:09
worse it's it's like what comes out feeling good, and I wanted to come
6:14
out feeling happy. Not that you should have a treehouse of Horror. I
6:17
like I said at start, I get why they put the twist on it
6:20
right to make it more fun. It just didn't. But there's feel right
6:23
with this. There's a nasty tit twist and there's just plain cruel and cold
6:29
blood, which is what this feels like. Homer Smother in the Island at
6:31
the end just really put the chair in the cave for me to go.
6:33
Like you said, mean spirit, I went, this is just not fun
6:36
at all as a kid watching this. You beyond granted kids probably shouldn't be
6:41
watching treeos of horror, but still any of you are going, that's just
6:44
that's just not cool. No, no, But I always thought treehouses of
6:46
horror is to use a term I use a lot babies first horror movie,
6:49
or you know, your first steps into the genre. I mean, if
6:53
you know a little kid's watching The Shining and go, oh, that's I'm
6:57
scared, but also kind of interesting. Let me show you a little something
6:59
here, kid with Jack Nicholson and Shelley GiB My question for you, though,
7:02
is that didn't we just watch Homer shoot the al, shoot King or
7:05
Cotis with whichever one it was. It's Codis the destroyer, isn't it.
7:09
I believe it is Coder. Yeah, so we watch him to shoot him.
7:13
So then how's the other table? Literally ten seconds later, probably got
7:15
super cool alien regenerative powers, not unlike ET the extra correctorial. I'm pretty
7:20
sure you exploded. Et Hey, come back, you can heal boo boos.
7:26
That's the other sorry to be all guy talks about what he saw on
7:30
Twitter. But all this week or maybe over the last fortnight. Well,
7:34
it wasn't n till my internet crapped out. Hey, I I Net,
7:36
hurry up, fix my shit? Uh have you unplugged U from the wall
7:42
and left plugged the back in? Have you reset your motive? No?
7:46
I think they recognizing that it's a more serious issue that we're going to Oh
7:49
says that you haven't paid your bills since nineteen ninety seven. That is a
7:53
serious issue. But also it's a twenty first century Internet should be free for
7:57
everybody. Um, there's been hot got in your phone to your TV.
8:01
Not even that, just looking at the internet media. I told Umbrella,
8:07
thank you friend, of the pot Umbrella. Yeah, where they send you
8:09
this week? The Hitcher? Was it? Actually I've already had the Hitcher,
8:13
but they sent me two classics of Australian exploitation, okay, was Blotation,
8:18
Dead End Drive in and Midnight Spares. I've always said, you know,
8:22
we're the country that made Mad Max and Mad Max furiros in cinemas now
8:26
apparently tanking, not tanking, but not doing as well as expected. The
8:31
Man Max movies have never been huge blockbusters. I don't know why people would
8:33
have expected huge bank at the box office that movie. Anyway, as I
8:37
was saying to somebody on Twitter, they were saying films, the movie industry
8:41
is dead, and I'm like, it's like how many sequels into a franchise
8:43
And they're saying, well, all these high IP because they said Barbie,
8:46
right, And I said, of course Barbie did well because it was it
8:48
was It's Barbie. Yeah, it's like Super Mario. Of course Maria is
8:52
going to do what's fuck sup Marios? The intrigue people going, oh,
8:54
then why are the other b IP is not succeeding like the other the new
8:56
Marvel movies and Transformers. The new one didn't do well, And I'm like,
9:01
transforms, you have any fucking sequels that we dip into the Franis Indiana
9:03
Jones. That's the fifth one into a franchise. What was the first of
9:05
the Marvels. I'm sorry superhero fans, but the new Marvels superheroes are not
9:09
the same level ip wise as Barbie. We're talking franchise fatigue as well.
9:13
I mean, yeah, that's that's the first Barbie movie. We've we've never
9:16
seen it. There's the intrigue, of course, is going to do well
9:18
because people were saying, oh, people are saying people shouldn't have female leads.
9:22
I'm like, granted, yes, I argue that, right, I
9:24
understand people those so you are saying they shouldn't have females. People are saying
9:28
that they're idiots, right, I understand they feel idiots. But also you
9:31
can't put all the success to the fact that it was a female lead.
9:33
It was fucking Barbie. That's why. That's eighty percent of the reason,
9:37
my opinion, why it was his success because it was just Barbie. It
9:39
was the intrigue of seeing this huge ip Barbie's first film. They're also incredible
9:45
marketing unbelievable marketing. Margot Robbie Ryan Gosling went above and beyond. The Warner
9:50
Brothers marketing team went above and beyond. Friend of the Pod, and you
9:52
make the airfort and there is again no franchise fatigue. Yeah, if you
9:58
build it, they will come. Yeahway back to this episode. Yes,
10:01
oh we got side wrap. But yeah, Australia made these, made the
10:05
first Mad Max. We should have been making Mad Max knockoff ten to the
10:09
dozen. Yeah we did not for some reason. The Italians did it.
10:13
They made some really good ones. But was it just money? I think
10:16
I think infrastructure. No, I think it was an idea that Australians might
10:22
might have thought it was a bit vulgar. There's in the great documentary about
10:26
explitation movie called Not Quite Hollywood. You've got a few people saying, no,
10:30
no, we don't want to We don't want the rest of the world
10:31
thinking that we're a bunch of hons Alaricans and marauders and monsters. You know,
10:37
we wanted to think we're what's the saying. Homer says, as far
10:39
as everyone knows, we're a nice, normal country. Well, that's exactly
10:45
it. And if you had made a bunch of more Mad Mac movies and
10:50
Mad Max knockoffs and oh that's all they do down there. It's just this.
10:54
It's Convict Island and it never evolved, so it sounds like a great
11:00
what's the condemned ripoff? Convict Island? Every Australian for himself, I always
11:05
wanted to do an Australian escape from New York rip off where Tasmania's becomes a
11:09
penal colony. That'd be awesome, would be great, wouldn't it. Let's
11:13
do it. We have a lot of ideas. We had a lot of
11:15
ideas if you looking for ideas and where your men? We have a lot
11:18
of ideas, but now many yes, so sorry read when we were I
11:24
just said, oh yeah, I watched Dead End Drive in and Midnight Spares
11:28
brought you from your friends at the Umbrella Corporations. Not the resident evil Umbrella
11:33
Corporation. We're talking about the good one Umbrella Entertainment dot com today. You
11:35
believe it, my beach. Check them out if you want to get some
11:37
cool that is correct film. But the thing is, mister missus Smith,
11:41
what didn't you like about this? Because I thought this was actually really well
11:43
put together probably one of my favorite chests for a segment in quite a while.
11:48
I really liked how Margin Humm were just both really good at this they
11:52
living their own double lives. I can't I remember going to see Mister and
11:54
Missus Smith at the cinema. My memories are basically, they're a couple who
12:00
were both assassins and don't realize that they're actual assassins living a double life.
12:03
And then they both sort of realized at the same point, Oh, wait
12:05
a minute, you're you're you, you're you, and then they come together
12:09
at the end. Yeah, there are a couple who meet cute while they're
12:13
on a they're on their respective jobs. Neither of them know that the other
12:16
is an assassin's breadbed. Angeline and Jolly, and of course they're incredibly drawn
12:22
to each other, and they were in real This is where they got together.
12:26
They got they hooked up for the first time. Yes, Pitt still
12:28
with Angeline and Jolley and Jennifer Aniston. Yeah. So I thought it was
12:35
a lot of funny gags and this thought the action sequences were good, and
12:39
I thought that whilst it was not gory, I just thought there was still
12:41
a lot of violence. In there it was, but essentially it was just
12:45
replaying Beef Beat a lot of mister and missus Smith. That's that's what I
12:48
guess it is. But it didn't transpose it properly to the Simpsons. I
12:52
mean, I would have loved it if they were still the same middle class
12:56
lower and middle class family they always were and realized times again tough, we
13:00
need side hustles and home is not going to go work at the bowling Alley
13:03
and see he becomes an assassin. I think I'm going to get a job.
13:05
I think if this was a full length episode, you probably have the
13:09
time to do that. You don't have the time to when it's called mister
13:11
missus Smith, what's it called here? And Simpson? Which is funny if
13:16
you know the license of its Missus Smith, you know the story explaining all
13:20
that. It's just kind of I agree with you, that would have been
13:22
good, but I think time restraints here. You probably just haven't got the
13:26
time for that kind of setup. When you just as an audience, you
13:28
just kind of get it, okay, but instead you just get It's like
13:31
when you know how occasional in the oscars or something they'll have or on any
13:35
award show, like a movie award show. They'll take the host, usually
13:39
a comedian, and transmit transpose them into like a movie. I mean,
13:46
when I was growing up, was Billy crystlal and I was like, they
13:48
put Billy Crystal in Titanning. That's funny. This is essentially that they didn't
13:52
sympsonize it is all. It's just they've really just taken the script from Mister
13:56
and Missus Smith and they put Homer and Margin in it. Now, you're
13:58
right. I mean, it does look good and the action is kind of
14:01
funny and well put together, But I don't know, just on mine,
14:05
I was like, I would have liked a little bit more. It's not
14:07
enough for me to say, hey, imagine mister and Missus Smith, but
14:11
with home remarks like okay done, Mister and Missus Smith have Angela Jolie making
14:16
him a killer Lasanna and him going don't need it, don't okay, Okay.
14:18
Yeah, that's pretty much the only well not the only Simpsons as gag
14:22
in there. But I don't know. I liked the let's get to our
14:26
favorite moments, my favorite. I really enjoyed that moment when we're talking to
14:31
his brain okay, don't all right, you're eating it. Okay, don't
14:33
eat too much? All right, you finished it? Okay anymore? With
14:35
him saying I'll kill her after the dessert says it out loud. I thought
14:39
that was just funny, Homer. You know, usually when he's talking to
14:43
his brain. There was one bit last week at the start of last week's
14:45
episode where it was strangling his own head, and that was stupid. This
14:48
felt more like the classic Simpsons. But this felt more what it used to
14:54
be. Yeah, from my mind, the brain was smarter than him.
14:58
Yeah, there was a bit in Mister and Missus Simpson and look, it's
15:01
veering in the which as a centers doesn't make any sense. But you know
15:03
what I mean that the brain's trying to speak sense. But his body,
15:05
you know, you know what I mean, the smart part of his brain,
15:07
which is a very small section of the impulse is yeah, yeah,
15:11
or what do you call it. You've got the you know, the superrego
15:15
and the and the it is the part that's just like, do what I
15:18
want right now, do whatever feels good right now. Yeah. There's a
15:22
line in the Mister and Missus Simpsons segment where it sort of like feels like
15:24
it's veering into Peter Griffin territory. But I just I think it's a really
15:28
funny line, which pit where he's about that they I think they're at the
15:33
marriage counsel at the start, which is yeah, also a direct left from
15:35
mister and missus Smith. It's ahead of film start, that's it. It
15:37
sort of book ends that they're they're sitting at the therapist office and they're trying
15:41
to work this shit out, but neither of them knows that the other is
15:43
a killer. And well, you know, we just don't have anything common.
15:48
You don't share my interest in not being with you. That was very
15:50
mean. I thought it was very mean, but it's also but it fit
15:54
this story. It is and you remember, these aren't can This isn't Homer
15:58
being Homer. This is no this is mister Smith. You know, this
16:02
is a couple that are dissatisfied with what. Yeah, that was a pretty
16:04
funny line. I didn't mind it as well. Yeah, I liked the
16:10
it's only quick sort of passing gay. But when he's talking to Burns,
16:12
who's obviously the boss, I'm not I'm assuming Brad Pitt's character must have a
16:15
boss that he speaks to in the film. Yeah, they both have these
16:19
voices in the Charlie. Yeah, they both got teams and they sort of
16:25
like support staff. Okay, Brad Pitts' is Vince Voorne and it was always
16:29
for a while that Vince Vaughn was the supporting guy in many in Australia.
16:33
Moment I see they're selling now, buy one, get one, I just
16:34
giving them away now because he's doing like a speech with like too some check.
16:40
He's like an influence and from like desperate, not just bad that like
16:41
the Housewives of something. Yeah, I must have meant when I saw that,
16:45
I'm like, Vince why Yeah, also Vince what he's talking about business
16:48
or something. Yeah, it's some of the best comments, saying it's come
16:52
a long ways since throwing it on the line to be a Google What was
16:56
that movie that The Intern? He's ting a long ways and throwing it all
17:00
the way to to just try and be a Google intern or whatever. I'm
17:02
like, that's awesome. I just never understood VI's vornas knacked. I mean,
17:06
apparently he's a lovely guy. I don't know. I've heard nothing but
17:08
nice stories, but you just think him Oh, goodness. I liked him
17:12
in Drassic Park Lost World. Yeah, but he just when they try to
17:15
make him a main star for a while there, I just didn't get it.
17:19
He's a perfect supporting cast actor for me. Main star, I don't
17:23
understand it. It's it's very interesting. I mean prior to Lost World,
17:26
I mean the reason he got that was a movie called Swingers. Have have
17:30
you ever seen Swingers? No? I have not. If your Swingers,
17:32
you go, oh, yeah, this guy is the biggest star in the
17:34
world. He's just everyone who saw Swingers when left this and we go,
17:38
who's that? Who is that? Okay, Yeah, he's really really good
17:42
in it. I mean that's and I think spell booths and said, give
17:45
me that guy. I want him. And for a while he tried.
17:48
I think we've talked about this before about they try to be all things,
17:52
you know. I mean, I think we were talking about the Chris Is
17:53
maybe even Chris Prout or something. He tried romantic comedies, he tried goofball
17:56
comedies. Yeah, and but he also tried oh okay, action, Oh
18:02
but how about I'm a dramatic actor as well, And some of them stuck,
18:04
a lot of them didn't, and for a while, I was like,
18:07
oh, the Vince Thorn thing. Didn't take that shame. He was
18:08
really good in swingers, and then he started making comedy. He started making
18:12
those frat boy comedies like Old School and wedding Crashes, and they was like,
18:17
yeah, that's why we like Ben Wilson. He did essentially yeah,
18:21
yeah, and Will Ferrell and all that kind of stuff. And for a
18:25
while there he was very popular again and then started to fade for a bit.
18:27
Didn't he date Jeff fer Innison getting back to Yeah, he did because
18:32
they were in a very good movie about their breakup called The Breakup, and
18:34
it was about them breaking up after they've broken up. I think I don't
18:38
know if they if they broke up during the making of it or something like
18:41
that, but maybe maybe life imitates art or something. Yeah, it was
18:47
a bit like that. It's a good movie. Yeah, I mean,
18:48
I've got time for Vince Vaughn, but yeah, he's one of those guys
18:52
it seems hard to It's like, are you a star? But maybe you
18:56
work better in you know, as he said support roles. Who can tell?
19:00
But I think I know I don't want him at some god awful seminar
19:06
like speaking business. Look at the pink he try and pitch me time ship
19:11
exactly right. Oh you know, try the Vin's Barn sponge drink Prime.
19:18
Try. Don We went to our friend's place on the weekend and they go
19:22
kids who one's I believe eight or nine, one's seven and one's four,
19:27
and they're all drinking Prime. The whole family is like drinking Prime, like
19:30
I want the pink, I want this, and they're all like they're like
19:33
obsessed Prime drinkers. And I was like, okay, so I can see
19:38
in my head, I'm thinking marketing genius. I certainly I thought you were
19:41
making up Prime. But Prime is an actual drink. It's Logan Paul's energy
19:45
drink. Of course it is. Oh my gosh. So people rag on
19:49
the Paul brothers. They are fucking they're marketing geniuses. They've they unlocked the
19:53
matrix. I don't understand that. I'm I'm not going to say wow,
19:59
Jake and lerg and there my twin gurus. They know how to play this
20:02
crack the world, mate. Yeah, they fucking worked it. Even if
20:07
is it a pro wrestler now boxing wrestling, even if Mike Tyson punches a
20:11
hole straight through his head. He'll have enough money to rebuild his head just
20:18
from that fight. Yeah, they have cracked the code of the twenty first
20:22
century media. Well, they got into the YouTube thing when before everyone else
20:27
was doing it star and they've evolved along the way as well. He's at
20:32
the stepping stone. Not much, but plus, either Jake or Logan is
20:37
married to like the Swedish supermodel named Nina Agdale who was just like hotter than
20:41
Kay and Pepper. I'm pretty sure one of them was married to a former
20:42
porn star as well, dating a former porn star to reach their rown.
20:48
Anyway, well done to them. Hey, friends of the pod, come
20:49
on the show. Yeah, what were we talking about Vince Born? I
20:52
don't know, but we're getting back to it though. What else I really
20:55
enjoyed from this one? Oh? Yeah, he was in Mister and Missus
20:56
Smith. Yes, I liked dan Southern Bowel voice, and I thought it
21:03
had a nice payoff that he came to the door as Lincoln. That funny
21:07
expecting this woman he's Abraham Lincoln and saying the South shll rise again. Just
21:14
it's all silliness. But I just really like Dan doing the Southern balm.
21:18
I really only have one more thing that I liked, not a bit so
21:22
much. And I'm trying to recall if this was actually a lift from another
21:26
movie. I think it might have been. But during a heck house,
21:30
the kids are running wild. Oh, how are we going to discipline these
21:32
kids who have gone Halloween crazy? Then you've got ned sort of in the
21:36
shadow. I can help you. I always like a charismatic trickster who comes
21:38
to town and like, OK, I can fix that up for you,
21:41
And it's quint from Jews. They end up telling you a monorail or some
21:47
sit like that. Speaking of tribute to Phil Hartman, it is twenty six
21:52
years this week that he unfortunately passed away quarter of a century and passed away
21:56
slash was murdered. Yeah, it's passed away indicates peacefully. This was the
22:02
opposite thereof quarter of a century. We still miss you, Phil. Yes,
22:04
the Simpsons misses him dearly. Absolutely, popular culture misses him now.
22:08
I also want to point out, so it's been common knowledge for a while.
22:12
It's common knowledge. It's been written on the internet for a while now.
22:15
There's an episode of Fish Courts Some with the Troy mclauy episode Planet of
22:18
the Apes where he marries Selma, right, and Fat Tony makes has a
22:22
line in that episode where he says, no, I said he slips with
22:23
the fishes. Right. That wasn't voiced by Joe Montagnan. Oh my gosh.
22:29
They have said that. They thought, since there's only one line,
22:32
we're not going to drag Joe all the way in to the studio for one
22:33
line. He's up to that point. Fat Tony had had bits in the
22:37
episode, right, so they had a person filling in. Up to this
22:40
point, everyone's always assumed it was Phil Hartman that did that, right.
22:44
I've said all the Simpsons wikis, all the ones that do the do their
22:48
research or not just Wikipedia, Simpsons wiki everything, Phil Harmon has videos on
22:52
YouTube. Blah blahlah blah. Turns out apparently it wasn't Phil Hartman. It
22:56
was Hank Gazaria. And if you listen to it, it sounds like a
22:59
Moe doing that Tony when when you know it's Hank. Because Bill Oakley replied
23:03
to our tweet about it, because I put a post up a bit too,
23:07
Phil Hartman, I put fat Tony in there. It's a little like
23:08
I did that that sort of people gone, well, you wonder well actually,
23:15
and it turns out I was wrong because Bill Oakley went on there and
23:18
went, I'm pretty sure that's Hank, and I'm like, well, you
23:21
were there at the time, you probably if you trusts Bill. So it
23:26
turns out as probably Hank's out. But I've said, hey, we need
23:29
to settle this, Hank, Hank was this you? The only way to
23:32
know is if Hank says it was him or not. Indeed, yes,
23:34
So we shall find out. We'll keep you guys updated if he does get
23:37
back to us. Okay, Bill, if you could also get back to
23:38
us if you're not eating every fast food in the mirror. He is eating
23:41
a lot of food at the moment. He is indeed good on it,
23:45
living the dream he's living. Him and the Paul brothers, they've worked it
23:47
out. They've worked it out. Yes, So yeah, but that's that
23:49
were my favorite bits. I just liked ned sort of slinking out of the
23:52
shadows of charismatic trickster. You remind me a bit of very old school reference.
23:57
But Robert Mitcham in Night of the Hunter, a fantastic movie and one
24:02
of the great all time great screen villain. Alright, there's now time for
24:14
the stonecuts. But before we talk about our stonecuts, mister David, we
24:17
have mister David, mister Davis, we have a very special you are you
24:21
podcasting with someone else? What's his quote from They Live? Keith David?
24:25
Oh that you dirty motherfucker, dirty motherfucker. We have a special shout out
24:30
for our man Andrew Swan, patron of the show, friend of the show.
24:33
But he a few weeks ago, I would say maybe even two or
24:36
three months ago. It was about eleven thirty at night. I went to
24:38
share one of our podcasts on the Facebook page, right, where's the story
24:41
going? And I realized that the website had gone down. Our host who
24:45
have been hosting the web website since the beginning twenty fifteen, they just decided
24:49
I wouldn't do it that anymore. I'm getting out of the website hosting.
24:55
I message guys like, guys, I am not doing that anymore. I've
24:56
just I've just closed it all down. I'm like, so bad's would have
25:00
been much appreciated. So I know you're not doing it, but we're still
25:03
doing a website. So I'm thinking it's my website because the website was still
25:06
there. I could still log into it, but it just wasn't visible on
25:08
four figure discount dot com today. You the back end was still there,
25:11
but the actual website. So I was like, ink, you please help,
25:14
And at like eleven forty five at night, he got up and he
25:17
fixed the forest and you got it straight away. You got to fix to
25:18
me about half an hour. So what an absolute legend. So thank you
25:22
Andrew for fixing a website. The reason the website is still there is because
25:26
of you. Oh the Swan man, and it's his birthday next week,
25:29
so happy birthday. Oh, it's his birthday and we got the present exactly
25:33
right. And he is also for not only us, but for all you
25:36
listening out there. Now he has fixed the emails. So mail Bag at
25:41
four finger discount dot com dot au is officially back. Dan them at fourfing
25:45
a discount dot com dot you is around, and guy at fourfing a discount
25:48
dot com to you is around. So if you want to hang shit on
25:49
me and only most message guy, it's this guy at fourfing a discount dot
25:53
com today you or vice versa. But we know that would never happen.
25:56
Yes, But Mailbag at fourthing a discount dot com you. The reason I
26:00
stress this is because now, as we mentioned on last week's show, we're
26:02
not doing a mailbag segment on every single episode anymore. On the final Friday
26:06
of every month, what's that? Oh? I thought I heard screams from
26:10
Andrew JP he'll be shadowon't He just sends to disturbing all JP all the time.
26:22
So the final Friday of every month, you're going to get a bonus
26:26
mailbag only episode. So we thought people are getting a bit tired of having
26:30
to think of questions that are based solely on the episode. So mailbag at
26:34
four finger discount, dot com, dot you. We want to hear from
26:37
every single one of you. And if you have been emailing to Simpson's mailbag
26:41
at gmail, dot com, dot you, that's also going to be going
26:44
through to the mailbag in box now, so don't worry if you've sent emails
26:45
in the past, we'll be getting all those as well. So mailbag at
26:48
four finger discount, dot com dot you is the new email if you want
26:51
to get in touch with us, and we do want to hear from every
26:52
one of you, so we can have a really fun mailbag segment at the
26:56
each of every month. All right, so now time for some shoutouts.
26:59

29:08
We're very happy to have you here. Next question, you there eating
29:12
the baste. What's your first question for me? Stam's Oh yeah, we're
29:15
doing trivia. Okay, Marge sticks Jack Bow to the fridge using what is
29:22
it a what's a magnet of some kind? It is a magnet, yes,
29:26
something that the kids made, nop. But what is it? It
29:29
is a watermelon? A watermelon? All right. My first question for you
29:33
is when do kange codis in their alien race watch Colombo. That's a very
29:37
good question, that's right. We watch Colombo during something something of something something.
29:41
Oh yeah, because there's rainouts of something. Yeah, when there's rainouts
29:45
at the gleek clock game. Yeah. Your day's question, Uh, what
29:52
is Homer's code name? Slash Weight? Oh that's one of my favorite moments.
29:56
I not favorite, but I enjoyed this. It's two forty one,
29:59
but I just light the way. It's like you think it's his name?
30:00
What is? You always bring up? My point and my next question for
30:03
you, that one was actually one of my questions as well. What does
30:07
Fox now own the newest member of the club. It's the Wallso journal correct.
30:11
One more and one last question for you. How many banknotes are in
30:17
the stripper's G string when when Moe is enjoying a bit of battle entertainment.
30:22
Oh, I'm going to say six. There are three? Three. I
30:25
need to lift the game. You're not shaking it. You're not checking that
30:29
money maker? No, no, no, all right. So the original
30:32
air day of Trios of Horror eighteen was November fourth, two thousand and seven.
30:36
Production code j ab F one six, written by Mark Willmore and directed
30:40
by Chuck Sheets. I guess appears by Maurice Lamash again apparently indeed saw his
30:44
name in the credits. Did her voice in this? You should, says
30:45
Maurice LaMarsh as someone does. But he's getting so familiar around Simpsons HQ and
30:51
just said he's in the show a lot from now, right, maybe he's
30:52
doing more than one boys. Maybe maybe so. All right, So the
30:56
episode kicks off with Mars doing an intro and I quite like this because it's
31:00
just a a bit of nostalgia for me, because the Transport episodes used to
31:03
always begin with Marge saying, put the kids away, it's gonna be more
31:06
violent. You don't want to watching this, And as a kid watching it,
31:08
he sort of went, I'm gonna watch it anyway, but thanks for
31:11
the hands up. It sort of prepared you for Okay, this isn't going
31:15
to be a normal Simpsons. Yeah, you don't necessarily have to follow the
31:18
trigger warning, but sometimes it's nice to have a trigger. Yeah. Yeah.
31:22
And see she kills up or cuts up all the various promos it his
31:26
prison, break House House twenty four and Monday Night Football yeah of some kind.
31:32
Yeah, and then she chops on and puts me in the meatloaf and
31:33
Homer eats them. So the first segment is et go home, and I
31:37
remember being super excited for this. I'll bet you were Marge's cooking burnt cream.
31:41
Burnt cream. I thought, here, guys not gonna appreciate her use
31:47
of the term caramelize, and so I've always said caramelized. Yeah, our
31:51
American friends seem to have taken the A out of caramel and they've put it
31:56
in paraplegic, because I'm hearing a lot of Americans say he's a paraplegic,
32:00
really paraplegic? Yeah? Is that the same as people who say bisketty just
32:05
it could just have said it that way their whole life and you can't tell
32:07
them otherwise. It's it's possible. It's like me trying to get my head
32:09
around the fact that it's not Segar. It's Sega my entire life. I've
32:13
always said Segar, That's just how it's written, right, But Nicola's like,
32:16
no, it's Sega. And I've had other notes it's Sega. I'm
32:19
thinking, is it? Yeah? Okay, have you not listened to that
32:22
House of Song where it's like as if he lay but but it sounds like
32:27
he says Sega, as if my name was Sega. Is it my name
32:30
was Sega? Sega, Sega? Anyway, my whole off I've said Segar.
32:32
So now I'm going to try and train my brain to go No,
32:36
it's Sagan, like an idiot. Yeah, what do I say? Sagan?
32:38
Now? It just feels wrong, It feels weird. Yeah. Do
32:42
you think it'd be as popular if his name was Stephen Siegeal? No?
32:45
No cigar again again? Oh my goodness, I don't believe anymore. But
32:52
she sends Bardett to get some butane. My god, an alien in our
33:01
butteen storage shed cloth to But is that your space name? No? You
33:07
hit me in my seven hundred testicles? Why did you come to our world?
33:12
My friends? And I came in peace to find your vulnerabilities and shore
33:16
them up with more peace. Yes, then I was accidentally left behind,
33:22
you know, spirit up peace basically, you know from the get go he's
33:27
not going to be here to actually bring peace. Yeah. I think that
33:30
was another issue that I have with you to go home, is that it's
33:32
it's I know they've only got a few minutes to set it all up,
33:37
but it's just so blatant from the jump that he's the bad guy. There's
33:40
no twisters. Yeah, and there's no should have been a twist letter on
33:43
it, should should be playing up? No, he's he's eight. It's
33:45
basically the same story. And all of a sudden, when we think Et
33:49
is good, no, or you just get these subtle hints there was like
33:53
when have a good reason? He could have had, you know when the
33:57
in the movie when the government comes to take him away. So basically the
34:00
government come and they said it, but no, this isn't the first time
34:01
one of these these people have come to this world. You just have not
34:04
you haven't known about it. These guys are here to kill us. And
34:06
he's like, no way, I don't believe you. And then he turns
34:08
on Bart. Yeah, or Bart has been so or Bart convinces him to
34:13
turn on his own race or something. Always been so indoctrinated by Et that
34:16
he could be as blatant as he likes about we're here to destroy the planet
34:21
and you know enslavey all blah blah blah. No, oh what but he's
34:24
my friend. He's clearly lying. His gun falls out. He says it's
34:30
deerdorant, so he shoots himself and hurts himself. Then Bart shows off his
34:34
toys, which is one of my favorite scenes in ET when he's just basically
34:37
just said to Henry Thomas, here's a bunch of toys on the table.
34:38
Talk to Et as if you're just found it alien. I'm like, it
34:42
just feels very real. Spielbeg. The way he directed that film, it
34:45
was just perfect, the sense there. It's one of a kids perspective.
34:47
The entire film. You never see an adult's face until the end, except
34:51
for the mother. It's always from like the waist down when it comes from
34:53
an adult, but it's just he let the kids be kids. Yeah,
34:57
so good with kid actors. Spilberg, I mean, it was really he
35:00
may still be one of his great traits. But yeah, discovering Henry Thomas
35:05
the way he did bringing Christians that audition tape is unbelievable. It's really incredible.
35:08
Yeah, I mean I think we've talked about it more than once on
35:09
the show, but yeah, find it on YouTube, and yeah, just
35:14
have a look at a little star being born, because I mean, I'm
35:16
stoked that Henry Thomas is still working. You know, he's just had a
35:21
really never became like a huge star or anything like that, but he's just
35:24
worked consistently all the way through, and he's realized now he can work the
35:27
concertcut. He's working the concircuit like a madman and making all the money for
35:30
us. So good for him getting all the moneies well down, Henry t
35:32
Yes, so. But he's showing off all the toys and we see the
35:36
who is Jim Hatelman? Is that just because it's like it's a local car
35:38
deal. I don't know where it was actual person in real life, but
35:40
you had him. He's the bubble head who has a weak neck? Do
35:43
all humans have weak next? Is what he asks. Then Lisa enters,
35:45
which is meant to be a take of when Drew Barronmore's character walks in the
35:49
season Yes, Gertie, which was a scener scare the shit out of me
35:52
as a kid. Oh, he goes yes, yeah, yeah, the
35:57
net goes up and everything. But Lisa enters and she's, oh my god,
36:00
she's not scared of him at all. She's going to show off and
36:00
show and tell. And Bart says he can't do it because the scientists will
36:04
want to dissect him, and then he sings this really weird song. I
36:07
only hope those scientists leave me my mouth, so I may spread my message
36:12
of piece through song. Pee peace, peace, peace from space. Not
36:22
funny at all. It's weird as I was just watching his going this is
36:25
disappointing. But he says he wants to phone home, and he gives them
36:29
a list of things that he needs. He needs uranium two, three,
36:30
five, seven billion body bags. I liked it. The seven body bags.
36:35
Kids want they kid want to help him out when he's building the They
36:37
think the phone. But so he throws the wrench for Bart to go get
36:42
a stract him away, sends Lisa to go locations for the military defense locations
36:45
which are in the New Yorker yesterday, and then Homer joins Codos in the
36:49
show. What do you think of this scene? This was somewhat bizarre a
36:52
little. Yes, there was a line here where he says, I take
36:54
that silence as always science means it yes. And I was like that a
36:57
rape gag no means yes. Homer not exactly down with the consent. But
37:07
he gives him a massage. Someone's taking the Hobite to the danger zone.
37:10
Not unfunny, and realized that it's not Marge and Marsha's we have to we
37:15
can't house this alien anymore. He has to leave, and he thinks it's
37:17
because he's Jewish, and the tricks tricks. Marge goes, look, I'm
37:21
not touching that. You can stay. Then the government arrive and they want
37:24
you to take me away because his name is actually codas to the destroyer.
37:27
But Homer has a plan and let me throw something on. I like that.
37:31
We know it's Where is it, ma'am? We have reason to believe
37:39
that you're harboring an alien. Open this door at once. Oh, I'm
37:43
not decent. Let me throw something on. Can I help you? Gentlemen?
37:51
We know what's you mister Simpson? Now where's the alien? Whoa?
37:53
You guys are good aliens right here in the living room. You missed them
38:00
bagging our alien friend are hundreds of miles away by now what do you weigh?
38:08
Like a million pounds more of me to love? After them? The
38:15
self? You rise again? So they're going slowly? Are they chase them?
38:20
And the et music is playing as they're running away? Did we get
38:22
a flying bit? I don't think we did. No, I think do
38:27
they attempt to? So there's the scene in the movie where the army or
38:30
whatever else got guns and that's when he takes over them. But in the
38:35
reboot or the re release, it Spillbear did well. Another thing about the
38:39
changing the gun guns to walking talking and then changing the back to guns.
38:43
Yeah, you know what I shouldn't do is touch my masterpiece. Some things
38:47
don't need to be fixed. Yeah, it's a product of its time.
38:51
How about we just fucking leave it by Stevie Big Steve for his lady's lesson
38:54
was yeh, talk to your friend, George. Please talk to your buddy.
39:00
George Lucas still to this day don't understand in twenty twenty four how we
39:02
haven't had an official release of the original release of Star Wars. Well,
39:06
it makes no sense. George was at the talk about mispronunciation can or cann
39:13
film versas. I'm gonna say, can't I just say cahn kid? Yeah,
39:15
I think it might be cans, but not cans hits those cans,
39:21
Uh. George Lucas being George Lucas, he rocked up to this, you
39:24
know, premiere, prestigious European film event in a Flanner, in a Flanneer.
39:30
Of course he did. George being George, And I think it's o
39:32
something along the lines of like it's an artist prerogative to change their work as
39:36
they see fits. So yeah, I don't think we're getting get tweaked divisions
39:40
forever. Yes, that's fine, but you've never given us the original in
39:44
high definition. Give us whatever versions you want, buddy, but we still
39:47
want the original as well. None of us are hoping or wishing for George
39:52
Lucas to fall off the purge anytime soon. But he doesn't own Star Wars.
39:55
Here's no right, no saying it anyway now, isn't he all?
39:59
I think? Yeah, Disney is probably showing a bit of noble so bleached
40:02
by say well, well bye, by your wishes, George, and then
40:05
as soon as he's gone, he's like Originas. They were one hundred percent
40:08
realism in the cinema. That'll be it's milk, Hey, Mark, do
40:13
you want to drink some more milk? Waiting for someone to make a meme
40:19
of you? Mark Hamill milking that god awful creature from last year. He's
40:23
like Disney original you the public we laugh at we will take. If they
40:30
said real list individuals in the cinema, I'm there, Oh yeah, I
40:34
am in line, and like we're going to give you the originals in forecast
40:38
second mom So, yeah, so they're getting away, they see the army
40:44
in front of them instead of flying over, and this time that has shoot
40:45
them and killed them. And Bart's like, wait a minute, you just
40:47
killed them. Yeah, yeah, this is where the heel turn should have
40:51
been. That's exactly what that should have been, where you go, wait
40:52
a minute, he is a bad guy. Is the army's actually right here?
40:57
Yeah, but no, they made it too obvious from the beginning.
41:00
So they started the device and actually a phone, it's a portal. He's
41:02
tricked them here even that could have been that that should have been the gun
41:06
shooting there should have been the first going wait a minute here, And then
41:08
he really reveals no this entire time because there was no shock in this moment,
41:14
was there not at all? Because you saw it coming man, Yeah,
41:15
it was so bizarre. But he's let the portal open up all the
41:19
aliens to come through, and then Homer just arrives roundom Me in a helicopter
41:22
with everyone and they just start shooting them all straight away. Yeah. Now,
41:27
what was the point I'm thinking of. They didn't get the upper hand
41:31
adult they came to the portal and just died. This is mostly an ET
41:35
parody, but I'm trying to remember if at the end of Independence Day,
41:37
I mean, it's all it's all soldiers, isn't I mean, you don't
41:39
have any Although yeah, Randy Quad is flying one of them, isn't he
41:43
He's the one that saves the day? He does. Yeah. I'm wondering
41:45
if it was sort of eating assholes. Oh god, I'm wondering if it
41:52
was sort of a take on that where it's like, oh, you know,
41:54
every day humans are coming to say the day and everybody wants to take
41:58
part, and you know, save it's just with the military. That's just
42:00
with the military. No, okay, get home there and then and then
42:05
is shooting them all the codos tries to trick Bart Bart friend and Homas's home
42:09
on board and he shoots him, and then we get them dissecting him.
42:13
But it's not a dissection. Is a vivisection. It's a vivisection, which
42:16
it's cruel and black. I find it kind of funny. I would I
42:21
would buy it in another scenario, or even in a properly executed version of
42:25
this scenario, you know, where it's like, oh, no, we're
42:30
you know, we're welcoming people to our planet and blah, and we're always
42:32
going to look out for you know, our alien friends, and no vivisecting.
42:37
Yeah, but then Homer just smothers him with a pillow and that's that.
42:42
It was so at You should see the look of disappointment on Dande's phone
42:47
because ET is one of my favorite endings of all time. Like when you
42:51
think of feel good, send the audience home, happy endings, doesn't get
42:52
much better than ET, not a whole lot. It's and I love the
42:55
way that Spielberg knew that that was the moment to end it, even though
43:00
it's a bittersweet because you know, the friends are separating, but he's going
43:02
home. Yes there's an alternate ending, not alternate, but they actually had
43:06
a different ending which they cut at the last minute. Of the kids used
43:10
to have the rainbow bit right. It takes from the rainbow and cast to
43:14
Henry Thomas's face. He's looking up of a big smile. Then it would
43:16
fade to them playing dungeons and drags where it was in the garage again,
43:20
and it pans up to the roof and the phone that he built on the
43:22
roof and it's it's communicating still and he's like he's still communicating with et Stillberg
43:28
was smut off to go, No, that's the crescendo. Let's end it
43:31
there. We don't need let people make it up for themselves. Very very
43:36
important to stick stick the ending because I'm me. I rewatched Robo Cop the
43:42
other night and that just ends so perfectly because I have not watched it yet.
43:45
Okay, well I'm not going to say anything. Okay, great ending
43:49
if you know, you know, okay, yeah, because it doesn't.
43:51
It doesn't fuck around. It's just like this is it. This is the
43:53
end. Yeah, credits because the way the way they end et you are
43:58
left going, oh, I wonder if he does get touch again. It's
44:00
nice. Well yeah. A good version of that alternate ending is in The
44:06
Iron Giant. Yes exactly. It's like, oh no, he's been blown
44:08
apart. I've learned a lesson and you know, all this kind of stuff,
44:10
and he yeah, he went out like Superman Superman. Yeah, good
44:15
god, such a great movie. He's like behind you, yeah, hey,
44:20
g my boy. But then to have at the end of that,
44:24
yeah, a touch of hope. Yes, Oh that's nice. Yeah,
44:29
yeah, that's good. So we cat to the next segment. It's mister
44:31
and Missus Simpson and the therapy. As you said that said the film starts.
44:35
I can remember it now that you've said that. I'm sitting on the
44:37
couch annoyed with each other. You see, the problem is we've grown apart.
44:43
The problem is you don't share my interest in not being with you.
44:47
Good line. I think it's a pretty good line. Home at night though,
44:52
he's put the curtain to the bathroom and mister Burns is there, and
44:55
he thinks he's been all secretive that marsh doesn't know about all thistuff, which
44:59
she doesn't know about it. I but she's living the double life as well.
45:02
And he says that he wants him to kill Kent Brockman because he found
45:07
him dumping Letricity in the gully to jack up the prices. Seems him just
45:09
dump Lightning Bolts. I thought, that's so stupid, but so funny.
45:13
I'm buying this. Yeah, it's so outrageous. As we've said many times
45:19
before, it transposed that gag and put it in like season seven. Yeah,
45:22
it's pretty funny. Yeah, that's been Bolts. That's nicely absurd.
45:29
Yes, yeah, yeah, Homer says, you know, I'm going to
45:31
be home late tonight, and she says so will she And have fun doing
45:34
your crazy sounding thing. Meanwhile, at the Springfield Tuxeda Owners honor of Kent
45:38
Brockman, Homer arrives with his sniper and all I have to do is think
45:43
of for clever line, but don't have to say by myself taking the mickey
45:45
of action films. Absolutely, I don't get why do we fall for that?
45:51
Is it just because it's just fun cinema? It is? And I
45:54
was talking with friend of the pod Charlie Clawson the other day. We're doing
45:58
a a few bits on his podcast about nineties action movies, but we're talking
46:02
about Diehard Too, and sudden that, yeah, I'm to remember this came
46:07
up. But you know Bruce Willison in Diehard Too, he's on the wing,
46:12
he's in his last fight with the Final Boss or whatever. He's about
46:14
to kick him off, and he says something like he says, yippyk a
46:16
motherfucker, which has become the unofficial catchphrase of Diehard of the die Hard franchise.
46:22
It works in die Hard one because they've been having the whole cowboy thing
46:24
going on. What He never alludes to it at all in Diehard Too,
46:28
but he just says at the end because I'm sure that the studio said,
46:30
you know, Bruce, they really they really liked it when he said,
46:34
yipp ka, motherfucker was okay, fine, we'll give you an extra two
46:38
million, do okay? Fine? You could have asked for anything for Diehard
46:43
too, right, don't you? Reckon? I was because he got five
46:45
million for die Hard one and he only got seven and a half million for
46:49
Dieharden. Really only seven and a half. You think it'd be at least
46:52
double, you think so. I don't know how much he got for the
46:54
rest, but it's probably obscene amounts. He probably got. Jake Paul money
47:00
prime prime mans. You would drink a Bruce Willis energy drink right, Oh,
47:08
I drink Bruno. I drink Bruce Willis prune juice called Bruno Bruno.
47:17
Another idea, that's make it happen. Let let's make it happen. Bruce
47:21
gonn't hang on note, oh boy, cut that out, zact. I'm
47:27
honestly going to try some prime. Yeah. Well, I've been told because
47:30
I will telling us about what's the taste, Like I said, it's kind
47:32
of kind of like a like a milky energy drink. Like it's it's not
47:37
like your Gatorway is thicker than that. I was like, oh, okay,
47:40
okay, I don't want some, but it sounds like soilent. Yeah,
47:45
I don't know, but it's huge. People love it so but it's
47:47
also because it's associated with Jeep par as well and Logan Paul. So anyway,
47:52
try something. Let us know the next episode what will what will the
47:53
four finger Discount energy Drink be called? We'll come back to him next week.
47:59
We'll be a good title. Also, you guys do that take ad
48:01
mom to these new email addresses? Yeah, mailbag at four figure discount dot
48:05
com dot au. So basically, the woman gets in the way when he
48:08
tries to kill Ken Brockman, and out of the way mystery skank, she
48:12
shanks Ken Brockman. It's like, oh my, and it turns out well,
48:15
he shoots random people here and ends up shooting the wig off of her.
48:19
I thought there was a visual here where he shoots a guy in the
48:21
head and the blood fills up the glasses. There is that is violent?
48:23
That is Yeah, he's Champagne found. Yeah, she throws an injustart at
48:30
her first, Missus n gets in the head. Then he shoots the wig
48:31
off and well we can tell here that as Marge. But he gets home
48:37
and I like that the wig has a hole in it. Me, I
48:42
made you my killer, Lasonia. It's poison. Whatever you do, don't
48:47
eat it. Okay you're already eating it, but don't finish it. Okay,
48:53
you finished it, but don't ask for a tucking please you moron,
48:58
just killer. I'll kill her after dessert. You're a killer for haiha.
49:05
You ruined that pie. I just enjoyed that. I thought it was simple,
49:09
but it felt like classic Homer. And then basically they realize here that
49:13
they're both assassins and they try to kill each other. That's pretty much happens
49:16
in the film. Just a big shoot off, a big fight. Absolutely
49:20
yeah, which yeah, I mean, I'm not sure how it played back
49:22
in two thousand and whenever, when I mean, because it's pretty violent in
49:25
mister and missus Smith when they're actually kicking the shit out of each other.
49:29
Here's another simpsonized version. You didn't tell me, I did. I told
49:31
you twenty times, but they've cut bits out of the mister and missus Smith
49:37
fire directly into the mister. Certainly the bit where Home is kicking the couch.
49:42
I mean, yeah, that's Brad kicking Angelina Jolie. Yeah, I
49:45
did like him kicking the catch. That was pretty funny because your favorite couch,
49:49
That's why I'm kicking it. Then Marsha's basically she makes fifty k for
49:54
every job, and he only gets what he finds in the guy's wallet,
50:00
and then he kicks the couch and then the kids come down. I think
50:04
they're fighting over them. But whatever we did, we're sorry. And I
50:07
was like, that's a really sad line. Whatever we did with sorry,
50:09
Yeah, because kids blame themselves, you know these things. Homer suggests they
50:13
get ice cream. Then Wigham arrives, Marge shoots him, and they make
50:16
love over his corpse. That not happen in the movie to the best of
50:22
my recollection, but he says, I love walk before that before they make
50:25
love. I love watching you do other guys. I love seeing you do
50:29
other I love seeing you do another guy sometime too. And I was like,
50:31
oh shit, holy moly, there's fun bits. That's a pretty raunchy
50:37
line for the Simpsons. I've seen you do other guys. Between that and
50:42
Codo is putting a tentacle where the sun doesn't shots yea the danger zone,
50:45
a little racy. Yeah yeah so that yeah, sex with Wigham's corpse.
50:49
Things turn things have turned up now for the sex life. And it turns
50:52
out that it's not another Simpsons version, another Simpsons eyes version of the other
50:55
of the movie. It's not therapy, it's shit his office and they shoot
51:00
Skinner. Also where Homer said, all right, let's let's make a deal.
51:05
I'll do the killing for her. Used to with the kids. So
51:09
you enjoyed it more than you thought I did that. I just tho that
51:13
segment in particular was really stood out for me. So now it's heck house
51:15
and we get the trick or treating that Agnes. Agnes is just a cow,
51:20
but I love her for it. She just gives no fucks. Here's
51:22
Candy right here, just spits in his bag. I was like, holy
51:24
ship woman did they be like holy? What the fuck? But it leads
51:29
into something very very important, very valuable, but has a real point regarding
51:34
trick or treat I mean, I think we've forgotten the actual meaning of the
51:36
same exactly. Yeah. I mean if you don't get treated, then you
51:38
get tricked. Ye. No, yeah, if I don't get treated,
51:42
you get trick. It's just it's it's just become a new version of how
51:45
to say hello on halloweens. No, no trick or treat. Yeah,
51:49
we're about to make a deal, treat or ship on your doorst and not
51:54
my shit. Probably maybe we said shit or treat people, go Jesus,
51:59
treat much a treat, candy your crap? Yeah, she empty bagged us.
52:04
Why do we do now, hear me out. Seems to me we
52:07
gave her a choice trick or treat. She didn't give us a treat.
52:10
So Bart, where are you heading with this? Trick or treat isn't just
52:15
some phrase you chant mindlessly like the Lord's prayer. It's an oral contract.
52:19
You're right, we've forgotten the old ways, the ways of rotten eggs and
52:22
soaked up windows. I say we trick her, trick her good. Yes,
52:29
then we get the montage with let's scrape up from the Ramones one of
52:31
Holly's favorite songs. Oh for real, Holly fucking loves the Ramones. That
52:36
and rockaway Bach. She just loves them. Lets we broke to some one
52:38
that starts with hay har let's it's this song? Yeah, hey, oh,
52:42
let's go. She calls it AO, Let's go. Yeah, good
52:45
honor. That's so easy to sing along too, that the rest of us
52:46
just goes eh, oh yeah, well I never knew the lyrics. Oh,
52:52
let's go. The kids love it, mate, al right, get
52:55
on to get onto. Judy was a punk, now got onto the Beatles.
53:00
Guess what her favorite song is? Is it Tomorrow? Never knows?
53:01
No, it's baby You're a rich Man. I'm like, one of the
53:06
most obscure fucking songs, one of my favorite songs. That's so stupid,
53:08
that song, but it's so great and it reminds me of the end of
53:10
the Social Network when he realizes, yeah, oh fuck, I'm rich now.
53:15
Yeah. But she just sits that she baby are a bitch. She
53:17
loves it. Holy give a little rock star mate. Nice? That so
53:22
t rex Mark Bowlin, The Beatles, and the remains of her three favorites.
53:27
Holy, my three requests that every time we get in the car,
53:29
You've done well. She throws out wheels on the bus and I'm like,
53:32
bitch, we passed that ship, we ran that bus off the rule.
53:43
So Springfield is now mostly destroyed by the kids trick or treating or just tricking,
53:46
and everyone's off screwed. They're annoyed. They go to Homer's house to
53:52
vent their anger. Finally we get a fucking Spider Pig reference. So you're
53:55
taking you what five episodes? He should be part of the show, now
53:59
you think so, Well, maybe they realized a little spider Pig goes a
54:02
long way. Yeah, but he still needs to If it's just in the
54:06
background, just acknowledge, just acknowledge that the movie existed, you know.
54:10
And how would you feel if, at some stage during this tree House of
54:15
Horror one in the not too distant future, the Simpsons are enjoying a lovely
54:22
pork chops meal it turns out to be Spider pick. I wouldn't like it?
54:25
Okay, would you like it? Again? Depends on how it's executed
54:29
and mean, if it's if it's just a non cannontry house of horror,
54:31
so be it. But I don't think you can have canon where they home
54:35
ends up eating Spider pick. I don't know, have it as like a
54:38
is it Hannibal with feed the Brain, feeding a pig pork. That's it's
54:47
a bit. Yeah, south Park can get away with Scott Tenement must Dike
54:51
coming up soon, Yeah, going down to South Park. I believe it
54:53
may be up now if you're a supporter on Patreon. If you're not,
54:59
depending on when you're hearing this. Well, we're not fans of Laura and
55:01
Canon four figured this game, but yeah, continuity. Mitch did write a
55:08
We worked together on it. I pitched your idea and he sort of ran
55:10
with it for our book. I was obnestly back in twenty seventeen when the
55:14
book came out, we wrote our own traus of horror segments and it was
55:16
Jurassic Pork and Spider Pig gets cloned and then in the end, Homer has
55:22
to eat all of the clones. Yeah, so it's kind of kind of
55:24
like that. Yeah. I remember reading that recently, went back in the
55:28
tins. It was last transpar and I'm reading these segments, going, these
55:31
are better than anything I've watched this year in trans Drussy Pork would work all
55:36
right, Well, you're in touch with Bill, Yeah, he probably still
55:38
knows someone at the Bill Oakley, no it's funny. Someone asked him this
55:43
week, we were you bought him for the Simpsons movie, and he goes,
55:45
no, if there's a Simps sequel, would you be borting as we
55:47
would one hundred percent not be brought in because we haven't worked on the show
55:51
for twenty five years. How the fuck would I know what the show is
55:53
doing these days? Because he says he doesn't watch a show anymore. He's
55:57
just He openly states, I don't I have notion with the Simptons anymore.
56:00
Too busy steaming those hands? What a what? Like? It's just crazy
56:07
how the world works. For twenty years, his association with the Simpsons was
56:12
just forgotten. You know, it was just not forgotten. That's the wrong
56:15
term. But you know, if you're a fan, you knew, right.
56:17
But because of steamed Hams in the mean culture of that, he's built
56:21
an entire career on that. He now has a think of the Steamed ham
56:24
society does like he's well, like, that's just crazy, hout mean culture
56:29
has helped this guy create a new way of life. We should get to
56:34
work on some memes, Yeah, falling discap memes. Yeah, let's wrap
56:39
up this this hack house though, so basically they've they've been ruining everybody.
56:43
Homer's head goes at Spider PEG's arse. I'm like, that's going to be
56:45
painful for the pig. I get there and then we're meant to go,
56:49
Oh geez, how terrible for Home. So this poor pick has a head
56:52
and its anus. It's entire bodies and compassed by Home's head. Now a
56:55
lot of a lot of rectal humor this episode, but which I mean two
57:00
incidents Flannder's office. He's helped though and arrive at hack House, and he
57:04
really like goes all the way with it, doesn't he? Oh yeah,
57:07
that's I mean, yeah, yeah, I mean these hell houses they tend
57:10
to go all out. Yeah, scaring cats, not wanted. But I
57:14
love that he puts his welcome to eternal darrination. Yes, got a kick
57:21
out of it, and he asked because it's not working. He goes,
57:22
oh God, grab me the power to psychologically torture them. Meant to loving
57:25
you and now it's hell house and basically showing off the results of the seven
57:30
Deadly sins. And don't forget that great line when he died as he lived.
57:36
Oh hang on, is it? Nelson he says that he died as
57:37
he lived like a dog. I think that might have been Nelson, but
57:40
I know someone says here, but no, it was Lisa. Lisa,
57:44
I have tried to warn you yet I've been punished just as severe. But
57:49
they show the results of the seven Deadly Sins. It just felt like it
57:52
just didn't go off the rails a bit, and I just thought, what
57:53
are we doing here? Yeah, I don't know. So they're showing gluttony
57:57
time with a spaghetti turns into spaghetti. There is one vi here that was
58:00
pretty gruesome. So the anger is Willy Pride is him being something run over
58:07
a truck. Yeah, hivot, he gets run over a truck sloth.
58:10
This is Homer laying down on the hammock and he slices through it. Oh
58:14
yeah, that was Nahly And then Lusk greed Envy all. I like that
58:21
they fit all the last three in to mow and the kids then all agree
58:24
to only pray and fight in wars, and Fanners says that we're gonna be
58:30
going to help for watching Fox. The Fox now is Fox Sports FX and
58:32
the Wall Street Journal. Welcome to the club. And that's the end of
58:36
the episode. So definitely for me, mister mister Simpson was the best segment.
58:39
ET was a I'm not gonna say a complete disappointment, but it's just
58:43
the disappointing factor of it was the fact that you know that they could have
58:45
done so much more with it. We literally had not brainstormed anything prior to
58:49
recording today, and we come up with like six or seven I reckon at
58:52
least better ideas, just a better concept in general. Yeah, either for
58:57
the for a segment or within the second if you have a twist, if
59:00
we do say so ourselves that we came up with better yea, because if
59:04
you're gonna have the twist factor of him being actually evil not good like ET
59:07
was build up to that fool less with the twist, Yeah, I mean,
59:10
and we may not even be fool I mean, I think we're gonna
59:14
We're gonna know going in that it's a treehouse of horror. It's not going
59:17
to be a direct tribute to ET. It's probably gonna have a twist.
59:22
So but still do it do it anyway? What do we learn? What
59:27
you learn from the episode of Davis, Uh that monkey manness is good at
59:30
any time, but midnight Monkey madness is the best it is. Indeed,
59:35
I learned that spiced up the marriage. Maybe Nick and I need to start
59:37
getting funky on a corpse or you know, performing assassinations for money. Forward,
59:45
your names will be okay, it is the new Name Championship. You
59:49
