  Speaker 7: Fright Night Film Fest slash Fandom Fest. I don't know,
• 1:57
  Speaker 7: how would you describe it?
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: It is sort of like a split personality is how
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: I'd describe it.
• 2:03
  Speaker 7: Kind of, yeah.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: But yeah, a Fandom Fest, you've got all your stuff
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: mixed together here. You've got a whole thing of horror stars,
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: and then you've got a whole lot of pop culture stuff,
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: and there's a whole side.
• 2:15
  Speaker 7: Of gaming and all kinds of.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: Crazy stuff going on over there so it's it's pretty
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: amazing how much stuff they've kind of packed in and
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: all the different like nerd types that get along i
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: just i just a minute ago had a extended conversation
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: about um die and um four-sided die and then we
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: were trying to decide if you cut an eight-sided die
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: in half if it would make two four-sided die or
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: a new five-sided die it's pretty exciting so what.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: If you had a die that was a mobius strip
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: would that be like a one-sided die Is it like one-dimensional?
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Because essentially it has one side that loops back into itself.
• 2:52
  Speaker 7: I think you just broke the universe, man.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: So yes, many, many nerd activities going on in this
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: festival here. Do you want to talk about some of
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: your favorite things so far, Fred? Do you want to
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: talk about the girl with the cat ears?
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I love the cat ears. cat girl dancing I just
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: really enjoyed.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: That a couple of tables down from us there is
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: a young woman who has cat ears on and has
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: taken it upon herself to dance pretty much the entire
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: time today.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: She dances like she means it she does I appreciate
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: that she does seem committed to it and she's not
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: she's not really slacked off she's been at it most
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: of the day surprisingly yeah with the same level of
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: commitment Um, she doesn't care, you know, who's walking by,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: you know, you can sort of like make eye contact
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: with her and just look straight into her face and
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: she'll look right back and just keep dancing. It's kind
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: of cool.
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: It is pretty damn interesting. Oh, any other interesting moments today?
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Uh, well, you know, meeting the Fonz is.
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: That was pretty awesome.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: But, uh, yeah, the... just the general walkthrough is the
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: thing to do just it's one thing after another it
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: just it unfolds it's like a jacob's ladder of of
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: horror fandom and and frightfulness uh there there was some
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: sort of i don't know what what film it was
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: from but some sort of creature came lurking around the
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: corner and everybody's sort of sitting around talking it's sort
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: of a law in the day there's a a staff
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: person sitting here and it sort of like crept up
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: behind her and i think that was that was one
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: of my favorite moments her her slow realization that there
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: was this giant fanged monstrous thing and then she looked
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: around and looked at it and she got up and
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: said can i get a picture with you and she
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: gave me her camera.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: That's how you know you're at a convention yes this
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: stuff is all commonplace But yeah, it is interesting, just
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: the experience of wandering through and seeing all these different
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: pockets of geekdom.
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: It's pretty impressive, I have to say.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I talked to a director who has a
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: series of shorts tomorrow morning. It sounded pretty interesting. This
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: guy from Michigan gave me his card. I can't seem
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: to find it now, but.
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: You get a lot of that.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to look him up online. He was
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: telling me about what he was doing. It's... sort of
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: non-narrative atmospheric horror shorts. He's apparently a fan of David Lynch,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: which sounds like it could be cool.
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: Misty and I were pestering a vendor. She was awesome.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. And I think the more we stood there
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: and talked to her, at some point Misty wanted to leave,
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: and that made it a little more awesome to not leave.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: I just kept standing.
• 5:44
  Speaker 8: There.
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: I just kept going. So anyway, yeah. So yeah, we
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: pestered a vendor woman for about 20 minutes. Luckily, she
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: was awesome.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then I kept trying to get a picture
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: of this pensive little child star.
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: From The Walking Dead.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: The opening scene of The Walking Dead. You're geeks. You
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: know who it is. But, yeah, she was wandering around.
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: I just saw her again over there.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, when I saw her, she was just sitting
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: sort of like pensively at a table. It was a
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: great shot, but some sort of red satanic thing kept
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: leaning over and ruining the shot. So, you know, it's
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: kind of awkward. I didn't want to say, excuse me, demon,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: but you're messing up my shot here. So I missed it.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I didn't quite get it.
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and their costume was not very good as well.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: No, no. It was goofy. And one of the moments
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I enjoy is people walking by and seeing the shirt
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: that I'm wearing.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll go into it in a minute, the story
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: behind it. But, yeah, they're commenting on our merchandise.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: And they... they all say the same thing. They just
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: walk by and they stop for a minute and they
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: look and they go, that's awesome.
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: So I guess that's a good lead-in. We can go
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: into our theme for this episode, if you will.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: We've decided, I thought, if nothing else, this would be
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: the perfect place to roll out this story. You told
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: me this story several years ago, and number one, I
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: thought you were making it up, which we'll get into
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: later because you thought it was made up as well. Yes.
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: And then we.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: And as time went on, I realized it wasn't. I
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: was like, okay, well, we can't just randomly throw this out.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: We need to have it at a specific event. And
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: even better, if we can tie in the other person involved.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: So I was biding my time. I was waiting patiently
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: until the best place. So now the person who it
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: involves is here. And I also made t-shirts that say this. So, yeah.
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: As you well know, because you're listening to it now,
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: John Carpenter was my babysitter. So.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: To lead into that story, I guess we'll have to
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: turn it over to Fred here. But how far back
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: are we going on this one?
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, pretty far back. It's like, I mean, I was little.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I was little, but my understanding, I mean, I'd heard
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: this my whole life. You know, John Carpenter was my babysitter,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: and I'm.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: Like, yeah.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: But you know how... Moms say a lot of things.
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: Yes, they do.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: You know, like, oh, we're related to Daniel Boone.
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: I was Pocahontas.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, descended from the Plantagenets. So, you know, this thing.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: And I was, so I kind of forgot about it. But,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: you know, I guess you reach a certain age. Eventually
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I'm going to reach the age where I'm going to
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: retire from life. and just look up all the random
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: little factoids I know and see if any of them
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: are true. But I'm not there yet. Where I was
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: was I was at the point where some of the
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: stuff I'd heard all my life, I just wanted to, like,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: pin it down. So I started investigating Mom. I didn't
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: hire anybody. I had limited funds.
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: She was asking for it, though. She was behaving pretty
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: shady at that point.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she says a lot of things. So I started
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: looking it up, and I got on his website, and
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: sure enough, he grew up in Bowling Green, where I
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: grew up. His parents taught at Western, where my parents taught.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: So far, Mom's story was checking out.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: But she could conveniently just be working that in if
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: she knew that fact.
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: Because mom's devious like that.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but then she came up with this little mimeographed
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: magazine that he had drawn when he was a kid.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: And the cover is like a hand-drawn image of Vincent Price,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: who I met at Western when he was on his
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: cookbook tour.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: Nice.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because, you know, coincidentally, it didn't stem from anything...
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: having to do with John Carpenter but I was like
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: obsessed with horror movies when I was a kid I
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: was just absolutely obsessed with them and often they would
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: come on every afternoon after after school and during the summer.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: And some days I would like go out. I don't
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: know why I would go outside and do stuff. And
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: I just remember that point in the day if I
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: suddenly realized it's past, I missed my horror movie. And
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: I just feel sick to my stomach because I can't believe...
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: a lot of people don't know this, but when I
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: grew up, when something was on, it was on. If
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: you're not there, there's no second chance.
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: What are these days of lore you speak of? I'm
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: pretty sure you had DVR, right? No, no. You at
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: least had a VCR, right?
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: No, no. I remember when I was very small, when
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: I was like the Nelson Muntz of our neighborhood, the
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: kid who was sort of a bully. I was pretty young.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I was like maybe seven or something like that. But
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: The bully kid was friends with my brother. And I
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: remember the night he suddenly realized that Cinderella was on TV.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: And he had to run home. And he was like yelling,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Cinderella's on! And he goes running down the street. And
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: I remember thinking, man, if this is the bully in
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: my world, then things are pretty cushy, I guess. But
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: the thing was, there were so few things on for
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: kids that when anything was on, it wasn't, I don't know.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: It was a big deal.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we've discussed that before, Jay, and I have, because, again,
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: we grew up in the same area. We have all
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: those same stories of, remember when they used to play
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: Godzilla on Sundays?
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: Remember when they played those kung fu movies? And it
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: was like, it was on the same time, it was
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: on the same channel. So we sort of shared that
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: same part of the childhood, even though we didn't know
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: each other at that point.
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: We lived in the same general area. So, yeah, you
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: kind of had that growing up before the DVR, DVD,
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: VHS days.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But the story is, at the foot of the hill...
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: western which is you know the hill toppers so at
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: the bottom of the hill my parents uh lived in
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: a little place over a burger place they had a
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: little apartment over a burger place and it used to
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: be used to have this great ginkgo tree in front
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: of it it's still there i drove by there a
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: few weeks ago and john carpenter's parents actually lived in
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: one of the log houses at the foot of the
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: hill which back then was faculty housing And there was
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: a little basketball area sort of off to the side.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: And it's still there, too, but it's not faculty housing anymore.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: And his parents would sometimes want to get together with
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: my parents, and my parents would be like, oh, we
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: don't have a sitter. John will watch the kids. It
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: was John will watch the boys, because my younger sister,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: she wasn't involved in this, although she does say, she
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: likes to say John Carpenter was her babysitter, but technically
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: not true and one little group of people everybody comes
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: by they see the shirt they look at oh that's
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: awesome and a few of them I get to explain
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: well actually it's true he was my babysitter but one
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: group was walking off and I heard one of them
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: say yeah it's like that when the TV is your
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: babysitter when you're Yeah, well, I guess.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: Kind of, but you're missing the specific point, but you're
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: going a little grander.
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: All right, I agree. Most kids were raised by TV
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: at this point.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: That's true, and if, you know, like me, you grew
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: up watching horror movies, then, in a sense, John Carpenter
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: sort of was your babysitter.
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: And if you want to wear it like that, feel free.
• 13:26
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: Have yourself a shirt, wear it that way.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've blessed each one of these shirts, personally. I
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: and the Pope. together in this fused.
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: Don't cross the streams. Yeah.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that you can wear them in whatever, like,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: larger sense you want.
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: It makes it real. It's not just a lie.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: It's real, because it's been deemed by you who, in fact,
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: was babysat by John Carpenter.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: I was, and I don't know... people sometimes say well
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: how did that work for you i don't know i
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: was a messed up kid there are stories about me
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: that i slept in a coffin and stuff and actually
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: i did have this giant like coffin sized thing and
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: sure yeah that was the idea but uh i don't
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: think i ever managed to fall asleep in it it
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: was kind of like because it's it's kind of like
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: trying to fall asleep in a hammock when you're a
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: kid i could never do it because i was always
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: too excited to be in a hammock I didn't manage
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: to fall asleep in a hammock until I was 40.
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: And then all the thrill is just gone.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because, you know, to fall asleep in a hammock
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: as a kid, I had to go over to some
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: neighbor's hammock. And the fear of getting caught sleeping in
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: somebody's hammock, that kept you alert. And then, you know,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: by the time I'm older and I just have a hammock,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: then it's one of those things that, like, it's like,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: It would be cool to have a balcony, but then
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: you have one and you never go out on it.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: But eventually, somehow, I came to the point where it
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: was possible to fall asleep in a hammock. And the
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: point is, I never really slept in a coffin. I
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: kept all my comic book collection in it.
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: That's a pretty awesome place to keep your comics.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. And it wasn't like an actual coffin, because
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: those things are expensive.
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: They are quite pricey. I've checked in.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: It was like a cowboy coffin, maybe.
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah, those are kind of cheap. They had the ghetto coffee.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I did have that, and I was obsessed,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: every time we'd go to a different town, I'd want
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: to go to the novelty stores, because that's where they
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: would have all the horror stuff, you know, and I'd
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: just get the phone book in the motel room, novelty stores,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: you know, because you can never get good masks or
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: good anything in the little town where I grew up,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: but You'd go to a larger city and they'd have
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: a store. They'd get the full face mask, like the
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: werewolf especially. I was into werewolves quite a bit for
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: a while. For a while it was the vampires, then
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: the werewolves, then, you know, just horror in general.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: Did you get into the modeling? Like the little vinyl
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: model kits? Or back then they were just plastic?
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they did like the glow-in-the-dark ones. Yeah, they
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: did one. It really looked a lot like the Lon Chaney. Yeah,
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: and there was a magazine back then called Famous Monsters.
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: It was my initials. I thought that was pretty cool.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Famous Monsters. And it was just in the culture generally.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, you could get, like, Boy's Life and stuff,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: and they would have, like, how to put this horrendous
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: gash on your face. And it's like, where do I
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: get these materials to build... This wound that I want
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: to have on my face.
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: I always liked the six-foot Frankenstein. I'm pretty sure he
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: was inflatable.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah. And on Halloween, I was so into
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: horror that it just spilled over. I couldn't contain it,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: so I would go out with overcoat over this costume,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: over this costume, and four or five masks in a
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: separate bag. If I got to a house that they
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: had something I really liked, I'd just keep going back.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: I'd just go around the corner, change, go back again.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: That's the whole point. What's the point of being in
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: costume if you don't do something like that? So yeah,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: that was my warped childhood in a small town where
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: John Carpenter was my babysitter. And it's I think it's cool, too, because,
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: you know, the babysitter theme... Which kind of, I mean,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: not specifically, but certainly found probably its most copied example
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: in his first movie.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Well, his first, you know, of that series, one of
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: his most influential movies. So I thought, yeah, it was
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: kind of funny that he centers Halloween around... babysitters i
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: mean it's not just.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: A slasher babysitter yeah.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: Babysitters and he himself not only was a babysitter but
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: specifically your baby yes.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: I know and if jamie lee curtis may have been
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: around i don't know I don't know. Who knows? Nobody
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: could know that.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: Babysitters do usually sneak in their significant other and be
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: making out. So at any point, do you remember busting
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: him with Jamie Lee Curtis?
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: Or hopefully P.J.
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: Solden.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: It may be one of those memories that can come
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: back under hypnosis. We'll have to see. I'll have to
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: be hypnotized. Back then you could order, I remember, these
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: little spinning coins. So we could do that. If we
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: could find, like, a comic book from the late 70s,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: we could probably still order this.
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: I believe I still have a few of my Boxo
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: comics at home. I can see if I can dig
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: that out if you want.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So that's essentially the story of John Carpenter. And
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: he's around here. I kept hoping I might get hold
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: of him.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm pretty sure I saw him walk past, but
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: it was before we had all this set up, so
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: he didn't see it.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: He had a security guy.
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: I'm sure he did, here. He'll be mauled by geeks here. Yeah.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: So at what point did he, do you remember him
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: disappearing from the situation? And you were like, where'd that
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: one guy go, Mom?
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Not really. No, I don't have that kind of memory.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: I've got like three or four standard memories from my childhood,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: and I don't even know if they're true anymore. That's
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: why I had to research this. Because I didn't really remember,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: but the magazine, you know, that puts him there at
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: the scene of the crime.
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I was looking through it.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: We have a version here that we were going to
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: show some people if they.
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: Were, like, nice enough to donate to us.
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: But, um, yeah, it's really cool.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: It is, it's very.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: It's like he'd already been doing a horror zine, and
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: then this is like the offshoot fantasy zine.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: And he's kind of like a mogul, because if you
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: look in the back, he's got all these other ones,
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: most of which I don't think are even his, that
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: he was like mimeographing off.
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: And then selling to people.
• 20:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: So, yeah, he was like a little publishing mogul at
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: that point. That's pretty awesome.
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: Like, what did we decide? Maybe 17 or so?
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: I figured it out somehow... Based on movies that he
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: was talking about and a movie that he said was
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: going to... I think it was She.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think She was like the upcoming movie, which
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: puts you in the time frame of how long ago
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: this was.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: So he had to be about 17 then. And I
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: remember those mimeograph copiers because my dad actually bought me one.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: I nagged him into buying me one. And you could
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: get different colors of like.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Ditto paper what was that stuff you used to roll
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: into a typewriter and you can make a few copies.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: Oh i don't yeah like a carbon version of it
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: yeah yeah and then there was like this kerosene like
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: fluid you would put in the.
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: Mimeo this sounds dangerous why was he giving this to.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: A child i don't know because you know you did
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: have a messed up child yeah.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Well if you nag them enough they just give up
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: they just want you to shut up yeah And so
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: usually the copies were blue, and they had that smell,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: and they'd run sometimes. But you could get different colors,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: so you could do, like, comic book combinations. It was complicated, though. And,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: you know, one bad, like, spill of the fluid could create, like,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: this chain disaster throughout your whole.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: Well, I do like to think that you probably are
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: the inspiration for Halloween.
• 21:40
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: Because he was probably sitting there babysitting going, God, this
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: job sucks.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: I know. I need a better job.
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: If I have to deal with this little brat one
• 21:48
  Speaker 7: more time, I swear to God.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: What could I do to get out of it?
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: I'll build an empire of horror fan magazines.
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's what it was at that point. Little did
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: he know what was in store for him.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:04
  Speaker 7: Or that we would track him down one day and
• 22:06
  Speaker 7: be like, remember that one time you babysat?
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, somebody's wearing a Halloween shirt.
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: He'll still probably be like, oh, that's cool, and walk off.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: So, yeah.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: No, they don't say that. They say, that's awesome. It's
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: like it's scripted. It's almost the timing is the same. Like,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: you can overlap them and.
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: I did hide up there earlier and hand out a
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: bunch of scripts to people. As you get to that guy,
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: here's your line.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: Oh, well, assuming that, you know, this continues on and
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: people are just sort of entertained by the shirts and,
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: you know, that's where it stops.
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: We might have some, so if anybody else thinks.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: That it's awesome to have a shirt that says John
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: Carpenter was my babysitter, you know, you'll have to check
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: the website or email us or Facebook us or whatever,
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: and we can tell you if, in fact, there are
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: some still available, because That was half the reason I
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: wanted to put it together is because I wanted one
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: that says John Carpenter was my babysitter.
• 23:02
  Speaker 7: So, yeah, if nothing else, that was my main reason.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: You know, and the thing is, it doesn't have to
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: be true. Because as we have seen, even if it
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: is true, nobody cares. They just go, oh, that's awesome,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: and walk off. So it doesn't matter.
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: And you can make it up. Just convince everybody.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Now you know the story.
• 23:25
  Speaker 7: Word for word, just tell them.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Borrow my mom.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: Rent a mom.
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: She might forget that it's not you.
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: She'll go along with it. Oh, yeah, I remember that. Sure.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Because I know my little sister says it, and it's
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: not true.
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: Obviously, they'll let anybody get away with that story.
• 23:43
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: Oh, well, I think you are heading out for this installment.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: Is there anything you want to pass along for the
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: listeners this week? Uh, no.
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: Um....
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: See, Thomas, Hal's getting ready to walk by.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: It's exciting.
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: What?
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: What?
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah. There he goes. Star of soul, man.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Man, he looks determined. Oh, you know, I could tell something. Uh,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: I was just thinking about Lon Chaney and remembering the
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: glow-in-the-dark wolfman thing I put together back when they did models.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: And you would get, like, the glow-in-the-dark pieces, and they
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: all came in these sprued sheets, so you had to, like,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: work them out, and then Put them together. But I
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: did have a babysitter. Maybe I shouldn't tell this story.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I can't decide.
• 24:27
  Speaker 7: Change the name to protect the innocent. Except for Jack Carpenter.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: I had this babysitter who wasn't really my babysitter when
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: I was older. Because my brother and I were older.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: We were kind of sketchy characters.
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: Still to this day.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. We had the little sister. And so it wasn't
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: our babysitter. But it was because... My parents would never
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: trust us to look after my little sister. So the
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: babysitter who, when we were younger, she was our babysitter,
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: but now she came to watch my sister.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: That babysitter was Linda Blair. Okay, we're making that part up,
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: but she's here too.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: She was sort of a beautiful hippie girl and only
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: got more and more beautiful as time went on.
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: This is going to get sketchy, isn't it?
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and one day I came out of my room, which...
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: and I think a little cloud billowed out every time
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: we opened the door back in those days. So a
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: little cloud billowed out. The hippie babysitter, she's like, what
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: does she care? So she's sitting out there, and my
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: sister's on the couch, and she's sitting there sort of
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: scooted forward in her chair, and she looks up and
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: sort of grins, this little wicked grin I can't convey,
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: but it was crazy, and I'm like, Huh? She's like,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: do you want to see my scar?
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: This is awesome already.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, yeah.
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: Is there any other answer for that?
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Here we go.
• 26:01
  Speaker 7: Hey, there's John Carpenter right now. Flag him down. Throw
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: things at him.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: So I walk down the hallway, and this is a
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: hallway that's carpeted with that carpet in Toy Story. the
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: green slightly sculpted carpet and it's still there to this
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: day so i come walking down the hallway and i
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: look in she's like you want to see my scar
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: and she's got her pants kind of unzipped and pulled
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: open and uh i don't remember a scar i.
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: Remember she i don't think that's what they call.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: It yeah she was wearing this pale blue underwear and
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: there was she just had her Pants open. And she
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: looked up again with that crazy grin. To this day,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: I'm just a sucker for crazy smiles. And I just,
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know how old I was. I had to
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: be like maybe 9 or 10.
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: Oh, this gets better.
• 26:59
  Speaker 11: 12.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Maybe I was 12. That's the oldest I could have been.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: And I remember going back to my room. And I
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: locked the door. There was a little button lock there.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: And I sat down at my little gray desk that
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: had a mirror in front of it. And I hit puberty.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Just like hitting a wall in a moving car. It
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: was like the Lon Chaney time-lapse transformation. I watched in
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: the mirror. Hair started sprouting out of my face. And
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: my voice lowered. And I was like sweating. I was
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: in a cold sweat. And then there was a knock
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: on the door. And I'm like, ah! And the hippie
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: babysitter is at the door. She's like, Fred? I'm like,
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: whatever you hear, don't come in here. No, I didn't
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: say that. I should have. But I sort of opened
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: the door and looked out. And she's like, are you okay?
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah.
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah. As your voice cracked.
• 28:05
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: And she.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Actually, I think it was like, yeah.
• 28:09
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: And she said, do you want an aspirin? I think
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: she had to know something was happening.
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: She broke you.
• 28:21
  Speaker 12: I'm like, ow.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: I didn't plan to tell this story. I really should
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: not tell this story.
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: I kind of love it, so go ahead.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's mainly it. I'm like, no, I'm okay.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: I'm I just want to be alone for a while.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: So I locked the door again, and that's all I remember.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: But my life changed. Everything was different.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: That is impressive that you have that moment. Everything from
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: that point on.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Up until then, I was a good student. After that,
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: I couldn't study in school.
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: I could not.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: My grades, like in seventh grade, I started out way
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: up here, started diving down, and then flatlined. And I
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: dropped out of high school on my 16th birthday. And,
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: you know, and then because I had, you know, awesome
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: parents who all they ever wanted was for me to
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: get educated. That's all they cared about. And then I
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: could die. They helped me, you know, I started at Western,
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: unofficially auditing a few classes. I got provisional training. admittance
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: to a few classes I did well built on that
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: and then I was in and things were were good
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: but uh but yeah it was it was the babysitter
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: i i never thought about it but it was the
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: babysitter did that just totally messed me up it wasn't
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: john carpenter it was this this russian girl this russian
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: hippie girl who who showed me her scar.
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: And that's what we're calling it.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. I don't remember seeing a scar. Oh, I
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: left out a detail. When she looked up and grinned,
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: she goes, it's gross, isn't it?
• 30:10
  Speaker 8: She did.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: She said it.
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: You won't think that later.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, yeah, yeah. I need to be alone.
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: Oh, maybe we all need to be alone for a
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: minute now.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: I didn't even think of that until right now.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: So now we've pinpointed your life-altering babysitter story, and it
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: wasn't John Carpenter.
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: No, no. Interesting.
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: And yet still fascinating that both of them, you have
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: some fascinating babysitter stories.
• 30:44
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: I don't have any of those. My life is lame.
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: It's, yeah, messed up by a babysitter. I didn't realize.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: It's like, this is like one of those breakthrough moments.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Like if you were like a psychologist, I'd have to
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: pay you or something.
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: Oh, you'll still be getting my bill.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Wait, a psychiatrist, psychologist?
• 31:06
  Speaker 7: A low-rented psychologist.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 31:07
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, can you prescribe drugs?
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: I guess that's... I don't know.
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: Maybe not. Maybe you just give them a.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Pat on the back.
• 31:15
  Speaker 7: You'll be fine.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: You can prescribe drugs, but they have to be placebos.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: I can do that.
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: Here's some M & M' s. Have fun.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: Oh, well, should we leave people with that babysitter moment?
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I want to leave. Actually, I want
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: the whole thing chiseled on my tombstone.
• 31:36
  Speaker 7: That's what I want to leave the world with. You
• 31:38
  Speaker 7: better get a big tombstone.
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a monument.
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: Well, we figured eventually you would have a monument anyway, really.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Those hippie girls, like, they don't make those anymore. Everything's
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: different now. There are no girls like that. I certainly
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: haven't run into them. They roamed the earth. They once roamed.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Every now and then you'll see girls who sort of, like,
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: are reminiscent. It's like somebody, like, rebuilt that in their
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: garage from spare parts but yeah oh wow not the
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: real thing yeah that's that's how i want to wind
• 32:15

• 32:33
  Speaker 13: some popcorn, we've turned out the lights and we're watching movies.
• 32:39
  Speaker 13: I don't understand and she tries to explain how a
• 32:43
  Speaker 13: spaceship is riding through somebody's brain and there's blood and
• 32:49
  Speaker 13: guts in. She's the best one that we've ever had.
• 32:57
  Speaker 13: She sits on her hair and she's tall as my bed.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: And she tie-dyed my shirt and she pierced her own ear.
• 33:04
  Speaker 14: And it's me, me, who?
• 33:07
  Speaker 13: Yeah, the babysitter's here.

• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Jill Johnson is babysitting the children of a young doctor
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: and his wife. They've told her where they'll be, when
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: they'll be home. Everything she has to know. Except what
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: to do. When a stranger calls.
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: Hello?
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Why haven't you checked the children?
• 34:21
  Speaker 14: Who is this?
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: What do you want?
• 34:24
  Speaker 15: Your blood.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: When a stranger calls.
• 34:30
  Speaker 14: Leave me alone!
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: Jill, this is Sergeant Sacker. We've traced the call. It's
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: coming from inside the house. Just get out of that house.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: When a stranger calls, every babysitter's nightmare becomes real. From
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: Columbia Pictures. Rated R. Under 17. Not admitted without parent.
• 34:50
  Speaker 16: I'm a bad babysitter. Got my boyfriend in the shower.
• 34:53
  Speaker 16: I'm making six bucks an hour. I'm a bad babysitter.
• 34:57
  Speaker 16: Got my boyfriend in the shower. I'm making six bucks
• 35:01
  Speaker 16: an hour. But whatever, they got junk food, kung fu,
• 35:04
  Speaker 16: egg food, dig dug, a dog too, and a hot juke.
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: Mr.
• 35:07
  Speaker 9: Wine Trap.
• 35:08
  Speaker 16: I mean, he's old, but not that bad. If I'm bad,
• 35:10
  Speaker 16: I'll turn around in the corner.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: For time out. Hi, Josh.
• 35:13
  Speaker 14: What you want to do?
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: You want to watch cartoons?
• 35:15
  Speaker 14: HBO got platoon.
• 35:16
  Speaker 9: Hey.
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: Okay, so what are your thoughts.
• 35:19
  Speaker 14: So far, Misty?
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: A lot of people.
• 35:20
  Speaker 16: That's usually how.
• 35:21
  Speaker 17: These conventions work.
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: It's hot.
• 35:22
  Speaker 7: A lot of people.
• 35:24
  Speaker 8: Putting off body heat.
• 35:25
  Speaker 17: That's, again, how these conventions work.
• 35:27
  Speaker 15: And stinkiness.
• 35:46
  Speaker 7: Again, I say.
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, when you have this many people cramped into one spot,
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: you know, you can't expect everybody to have good hygiene.
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 35:55
  Speaker 8: It would be nice, though.
• 35:57
  Speaker 7: Well, we can roll into our geek activities for the last.
• 36:00
  Speaker 14: I think I had Rodan painted on his face.
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: Like, the monster? Yes. Yeah, he did. I thought it
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: was an axe at first, but I think it was Rodan.
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: Rodan's pretty awesome.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: Points to him, because, yeah, I would assume, you know,
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: everybody here that gets face painting just kind of gets, like,
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: blood and stuff like that, but If you're going to
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: bother to get Rodan on your face, points to that guy.
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: It's pretty awesome.
• 36:18
  Speaker 8: It's like the nerds line dissipated really quick.
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 36:22
  Speaker 7: The nerds aren't getting a lot of love.
• 36:24
  Speaker 14: They're nerds.
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: That is kind of the point of the movie. They
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: seem efficient, don't they? They're like, get him in, get
• 36:30
  Speaker 7: him out. They're nerds. That's a good thing. They know
• 36:33
  Speaker 7: what they're doing. So, yeah. I guess we can do
• 36:37
  Speaker 7: our version of geek activities. This time, I... Yeah. Yeah.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: I got midway into this, and I realized that I'm
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: going to have to start writing stuff down.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 36:48
  Speaker 7: So... Brain brought notes.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, there was too much. I couldn't... There
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: was too much to deal with. So, and I think
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: you already know this. I mentioned it online to you personally,
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: but I haven't talked about it on the show.
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: This was a couple weeks back.
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: I took it upon myself, glutton for punishment that I am,
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: I decided to watch not one, but.
• 37:08
  Speaker 7: A double feature of Twilight movies.
• 37:10
  Speaker 14: Ooh, which ones?
• 37:11
  Speaker 7: I saw the second and third.
• 37:13
  Speaker 14: Oh, the baseballs in the first one.
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: See, that's what Greg said. Online, he was immediately like,
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: did you see Vampire Baseball? And I'm like, dude, that
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: was in the other one. I saw that one like
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: months before that. So once again, I'm way behind on
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: the series because I'm not going to make it.
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: I'm not going to go out of my way or
• 37:29
  Speaker 7: pay anything.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: If it comes on TV and I'm there, I'm like, okay,
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: now I'm going to have to watch it.
• 37:35
  Speaker 7: Because I feel like I need to. I can't make
• 37:38
  Speaker 7: fun of them if I haven't seen it, because that
• 37:39
  Speaker 7: just makes me a fucking douche.
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: I have to at least watch it and experience it,
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: and these are just my thoughts. So then I'm not
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: just a poser pretending to hate vampires that sparkle. So, yeah,
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: I started watching one and then the other, and then
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: very quickly I was just like, okay, I have questions.
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: I have questions that I need to pose to you guys,
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: and you're not going to have the answers, because I
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: actually heard you talk about some of them a couple
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: of weeks ago. So, number one, okay, not everybody in
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: the world knows these people are vampires, right?
• 38:10
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: Does nobody notice their eyes kind of sparkle and glow?
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, they've got those weird colored eyes.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: What the fuck?
• 38:18
  Speaker 7: Does nobody comment?
• 38:18
  Speaker 8: Contact lenses.
• 38:19
  Speaker 7: But they're those kids at school. They always go around
• 38:23
  Speaker 7: with freaking contact lenses. Oh, yeah. Goth wannabe kids. They're
• 38:26
  Speaker 7: from the Northwest.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: They're allowed to look weird.
• 38:29
  Speaker 7: I mean, I'll let the pastiness slide. They're from the Northwest. But,
• 38:32
  Speaker 7: I mean, come on. Your eyes don't look like that normally.
• 38:36
  Speaker 7: And the fact that all of them do.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: Like, wouldn't somebody be like, I've got a question? You know,
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: somebody should be posing that earlier on.
• 38:45
  Speaker 14: I had a problem with the fact that none of
• 38:46
  Speaker 14: them had fangs.
• 38:49
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 38:49
  Speaker 8: Yeah, they don't, do they?
• 38:50
  Speaker 7: That's an issue.
• 38:51
  Speaker 14: Are there any fangs at any point in any of
• 38:53
  Speaker 14: these movies? Do you see any vampire fangs?
• 38:56
  Speaker 7: I mean, I know most of these points have been
• 38:58
  Speaker 7: brought up before.
• 38:59
  Speaker 14: Or lack of points.
• 39:01
  Speaker 7: That too.
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: This was the first time I'd watched these two, so
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: I legitimately have these questions, want to address them.
• 39:06
  Speaker 7: So here's mine.
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: Go ahead.
• 39:08
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 39:09
  Speaker 8: I was going to say, they changed the whole mythos
• 39:10
  Speaker 8: of the whole thing.
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: They did, and that's the thing. I've sort of thrown
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: off some of them and just like, okay, I've accepted
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: the fact that you're, okay, they're going to sparkle. Whatever,
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: let's get past that. But then, like, some of the
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: other stuff just, like, as a movie doesn't make sense.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: One of my main ones is, and, okay, I'll answer
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: it before I even pose the question, because it brings
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: in teenage girls.
• 39:30
  Speaker 7: Buying tickets. Now, my question is, why is it that...
• 39:33
  Speaker 7: What is Wolf Boy's name?
• 39:34
  Speaker 14: Taylor Lautner?
• 39:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but what's his, like... Jacob? Why does Jacob never
• 39:39
  Speaker 7: have a shirt on?
• 39:39
  Speaker 14: Because he's fucking hot.
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: Is that.
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: Legitimately, I think it is because he's hot and he
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: brings in the ticket sales. But are they using the
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: story as that they generate heat bullshit?
• 39:51
  Speaker 7: Is that their reason?
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: I assume.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: I think they're always hot and I think they're afraid
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: if they get mad they'll rip their shirt. They don't
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: want the Hulk effect.
• 40:01
  Speaker 7: They're always wearing pants.
• 40:03
  Speaker 9: I know.
• 40:03
  Speaker 7: If you were really hot.
• 40:04
  Speaker 8: You generally don't really rip your pants off.
• 40:06
  Speaker 7: But they do. That's another issue I have.
• 40:08
  Speaker 8: I don't know. If I was going to get in
• 40:09
  Speaker 8: a fight and I got pissed off at somebody, the
• 40:11
  Speaker 8: last thing.
• 40:11
  Speaker 7: I'd do would be rip my pants off. That would
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: probably end the fight, though. That would be like, you
• 40:17
  Speaker 7: know what? I don't want to fight.
• 40:18
  Speaker 17: That's it.
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: We're done.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Now, I can't 100% confirm this, but I did ask
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of these questions to my wife, who's read
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: most of the books. She reads a lot of books.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Don't crucify her for the fact that she... Yeah, don't
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: judge that. But she said that they actually... Because I
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: was like, well, if they turn into wolves and rip
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: their pants and they don't... You know, they'll turn back.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: What do they do then?
• 40:40
  Speaker 7: She said, well, they actually have like a pouch that
• 40:43
  Speaker 7: they take the pants... Or the pants come off and
• 40:44
  Speaker 7: they carry their... As a wolf carrier pants?
• 40:48
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's like a fanny pack.
• 40:49
  Speaker 7: Do these wolves have fanny packs? What the hell is this?
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: And do they like strap it on while they're a wolf?
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: And you see wolves running with fanny packs on?
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: Right, so yeah, after that, once I heard.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: That, I was done.
• 41:02
  Speaker 14: Oh, wow. I refuse to read these books. I will
• 41:04
  Speaker 14: only watch the movies if we watch the riff tracks.
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: But I just, again, I needed to watch it to
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: be able to get to these kind of questions because
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: that was my thing. I sat there going, okay, you
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: see the scenes, and that's the thing. I'll let it slide.
• 41:17
  Speaker 7: I don't hate the CGI wolves.
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: I think just because I like actual wolves and they
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: don't look like bad werewolves.
• 41:22
  Speaker 7: They just look like giant wolves. I'm like, okay, that's cool.
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: But, so, that's the thing, you see them, you know,
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: midway into that second movie, you see Jacob go running,
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: and in midair, transform into a wolf, his clothes tear away,
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: so yeah, I'm like, okay, in a minute, he's gonna transform.
• 41:38
  Speaker 7: Back, what, is he gonna run to the gap? I mean,
• 41:40
  Speaker 7: what the fuck is he gonna do now?
• 41:41
  Speaker 9: So.
• 41:43
  Speaker 7: And they all do it.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: Banana Republic.
• 41:45
  Speaker 7: Depends on who sponsors the movie, I guess.
• 41:47
  Speaker 8: What's that other one?
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: Hollister?
• 41:49
  Speaker 8: Hollister, yeah. Fuck Hollister.
• 41:51
  Speaker 14: Graber Crombie?
• 41:52
  Speaker 7: That's the great Graber Crombie.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: I love that you don't let anybody stop them like
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: they're royalty or something.
• 42:01
  Speaker 7: Hey, in America, they are royals.
• 42:03
  Speaker 8: They're not allowed to touch booger.
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: We don't have the royal family in this country, so
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: these are the closest thing we have.
• 42:11
  Speaker 8: Well, there is a charity.
• 42:13
  Speaker 14: We ain't got to worry about anybody stopping this douchebag, though.
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 42:15
  Speaker 7: I hate that guy. I won't even go into that.
• 42:19
  Speaker 14: I hate that guy.
• 42:20
  Speaker 8: I guess Harry gets more douchebaggy every time we see him.
• 42:22
  Speaker 7: Yes, he does.
• 42:23
  Speaker 14: All right, Wolves.
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah that's my thing because like by the end i
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: had that same question by the end of one of
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: the two they go into like the whole group of
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: them does it and then they like they were maybe
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: it was the third one when they're having a big
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: battle and they're all battling and then like two seconds
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: later they all come running out of the woods and
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: they've got pants on i'm just like where did you
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: is there an abercrombie behind that tree over there i'm
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: just like what the fuck And then, okay, you're going
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: with the, okay, it's hot, they can't wear their shirts,
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: it's too hot because they're wolves and they generate heat. Okay,
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: if that's the case, by movie three, when we get
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: a girl werewolf, topless girl werewolf.
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, if that's the rule, and we're following the
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: rules through these first two movies, then by movie three...
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: I can get behind that kind of series. And that
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: girl's cute, so I mean, I think that seems fine.
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: I think if we're going to follow the rules, she
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: should be topless all the time. I'm just saying I
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: didn't set up the rules. Instead, she wears a goofy dress.
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: And then she tears out of that, too. And I'm like,
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: so later she has to go dress shopping again. What
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: the fuck kind of movie is this? What other randomness
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: do I have here? This one I did post online,
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: and it led to some interesting situations. Because midway in,
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: I was not officially live. I guess I was live
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: Facebooking it since I wasn't really on Twitter. Yeah, but
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: I kept posing questions to it as I was going along.
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: People would occasionally answer me back. So my initial one
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: was like, okay, I'm watching it. I don't see the confusion. Jacob,
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: pretty cool guy. Likes to work on his motorcycle. Seems
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: like a good guy to hang out with. And Douchebag,
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: who's honest.
• 43:58
  Speaker 9: Seriously.
• 43:59
  Speaker 8: Who watches you when you're sleeping.
• 44:01
  Speaker 14: And those are who she can be friends with, who
• 44:03
  Speaker 14: she can talk to.
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 44:04
  Speaker 14: He's kind of abusive.
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 44:07
  Speaker 7: And kind of creepy looking.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 44:09
  Speaker 14: He is very unattractive.
• 44:10
  Speaker 7: I know girls like him and all, but I don't
• 44:12
  Speaker 7: get it because I'm just like, Jacob, okay, you know what?
• 44:14
  Speaker 7: I'm a straight guy, but I'm going to tell you,
• 44:16
  Speaker 7: Jacob's a hot dude. Dude, seriously.
• 44:17
  Speaker 14: Edward looks like he ran into a wall.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: Edward looks like somebody pummeled his face, and that's been
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: a few years ago, and it's healed up now, but
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: it still looks a little off.
• 44:24
  Speaker 8: He looks like he'd be a good teen Frankenstein.
• 44:26
  Speaker 7: There you go. Where's that at? That would be awesome.
• 44:29
  Speaker 14: He is a very extremely unattractive individual.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: And the whole series, not even movie, the entire series
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: of movies centers.
• 44:36
  Speaker 7: Around this, oh, which one? I'm torn. And I'm like,
• 44:39
  Speaker 7: what are you torn between? I'm like, this guy's cool.
• 44:42
  Speaker 7: This guy's a jerk. I don't understand it. That's how
• 44:45
  Speaker 7: life is.
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: Well, no, if it was really like life, they'd both
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: be complete jackasses because that's usually what girls are drawn to.
• 44:55
  Speaker 14: Yeah, Jacob's hot. I'm team mustache dad.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: I think you need to cease calling him Jacob forever.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: In my household, I could just call him Sharkboy.
• 45:04
  Speaker 7: Sharkboy's usually.
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: I did try to make the team Sharkboy movement, so,
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 45:09
  Speaker 14: Yeah, team mustache dad.
• 45:11
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: The second one, where we get into the Spirity Edward bullshit.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: What is that?
• 45:19
  Speaker 7: I don't understand.
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: Like, it comes out of nowhere. They just introduced... Like,
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: the whole second... The whole second.
• 45:24
  Speaker 7: Part of the story is kind of just killing time.
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: Like, that whole second one, she's not really doing it.
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: The only thing that develops in that entire movie is
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: the relationship between her and Jacob. But, like, the whole
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: rest of the time, it's just, Edward's gone. Except for
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: his weird ghost. I have to jump off of cliffs
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: to see his ghosty bullshit.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: And they all have secret powers, like all the different
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: vampires have.
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: I'm just like, but when did vampires get ghostly powers
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: that they would appear when you're in danger?
• 45:51
  Speaker 7: Is he Superman?
• 45:52
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 45:52
  Speaker 7: How does he know you're in danger?
• 45:54
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 45:54
  Speaker 14: That guy thinks he knows me.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: I love how they had the whole... It's almost like
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: the Masonic group that they have that vampires are called.
• 46:08
  Speaker 7: What's all that shit about? It might be. Maybe that's
• 46:11
  Speaker 7: the basis of it.
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 46:14
  Speaker 7: We've had some questions about the Masons.
• 46:16
  Speaker 8: What's the name of the hierarchy?
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: Vulturi? It's the Vulturi.
• 46:21
  Speaker 14: Wow, why do I fucking know this?
• 46:22
  Speaker 7: Because you're a dork. Same reason we all do. We
• 46:25
  Speaker 7: can make fun of it, but the sad part is
• 46:27
  Speaker 7: it's still in there.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: She's a closet fan.
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: Dude, seriously, no.
• 46:32
  Speaker 14: I honestly have no shame. If I liked this movie,
• 46:35
  Speaker 14: I would be all about it.
• 46:36
  Speaker 7: That's true. She has owned up to many things that
• 46:38
  Speaker 7: are worse than.
• 46:39
  Speaker 14: I fucking like Southland Tales. I don't care what anybody
• 46:41
  Speaker 14: fucking says.
• 46:42
  Speaker 7: That's not worse than that, though. It's more confusing. You
• 46:44
  Speaker 7: can like Southland Tales without... Yeah, there's some good stuff
• 46:47
  Speaker 7: in Southland Tales.
• 46:47
  Speaker 8: I like Southland Tales, too.
• 46:49
  Speaker 7: There's good stuff.
• 46:49
  Speaker 14: I'm like, dude, where's my car?
• 46:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 46:52
  Speaker 7: There's good stuff in that movie.
• 46:53
  Speaker 9: You know what?
• 46:53
  Speaker 7: It's good up until a point, and then it just goes...
• 46:56
  Speaker 7: You're just blowing a hole in all my stuff, aren't you? No,
• 46:59
  Speaker 7: it's really good.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't blow a hole in Silent Hill. I
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: supported that. I'm saying it's.
• 47:03
  Speaker 14: Good until a point. Everybody made fun of it.
• 47:06
  Speaker 7: I have issues with it, but it's not 100% bad.
• 47:09
  Speaker 7: That's what I've said from day one.
• 47:10
  Speaker 8: Because you refuse to watch it.
• 47:12
  Speaker 14: You hate Ashton Kutcher.
• 47:14
  Speaker 8: No, I thought there was some other reason you were
• 47:16
  Speaker 8: going to make me watch it.
• 47:16
  Speaker 14: Because it's fucking awesome.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: That's why.
• 47:18
  Speaker 8: No, you were like, you made me watch this, so
• 47:20
  Speaker 8: we're going to watch.
• 47:21
  Speaker 7: I don't remember what it was.
• 47:25
  Speaker 14: I tried to sit through that one movie.
• 47:28
  Speaker 7: Which movie?
• 47:28
  Speaker 14: I tried to watch a 10-hour movie.
• 47:33
  Speaker 8: Oh, Galaxy Quest?
• 47:34
  Speaker 14: I tried.
• 47:35
  Speaker 8: That's a pretty good movie.
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: I still feel like I need to watch Galaxy Quest.
• 47:39
  Speaker 7: You've not seen it either? I put it off because
• 47:41
  Speaker 7: it was still a Tim Allen movie at the time.
• 47:42
  Speaker 7: And then later I heard everybody go, no, actually, it's
• 47:45
  Speaker 7: kind of smart.
• 47:46
  Speaker 8: It's a really good movie.
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: It knows the group it's making fun of. It's got
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: to get past the Tim Allen. It's kind of doing
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: it respectfully. So I'm like, well, you know, I'm all
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: for that.
• 47:56
  Speaker 7: But I still haven't gotten around to it.
• 47:58
  Speaker 14: All right.
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: So, okay, back to the Twilight notes. Okay, here's my
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: other thing. The Jacob and Bella story is kind of interesting.
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: I guess that's the only part of it that gets
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: that portion of it. But when it comes back to
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: the Edward, I don't care anymore. I'm just like, this
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: is a bad relationship.
• 48:16
  Speaker 7: Get out of it. Move on with the story. Because
• 48:19
  Speaker 7: I realize that's the most.
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: Her little love life is the most boring part of
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: this entire arc.
• 48:23
  Speaker 7: And it's built on that.
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: Because then you get into, like, the third one, when
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: you get into the bad vampires that are, like, collecting
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: on the outskirts in the city, and they're going to
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: make their way in, and they're going to start.
• 48:37
  Speaker 8: But you've got to understand, Brian, you're not a teen
• 48:39
  Speaker 8: girl who likes vampires.
• 48:40
  Speaker 7: Teen girls don't have to be idiots. I'm sorry. That's
• 48:44
  Speaker 7: the thing. That third one, there's a cool story.
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: And the more I watched it, I was like, the
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: vampire's waiting to move into the city, and they're going
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: to start a war on them. The more I thought
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: about it, I was like, you know, that kind of
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: sounds like a... A final end of the season plot, like,
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: season arc of Buffy. Remember, like, the whole season arc? Like,
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: I can see, like, that kind of playing in. Again,
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: it would be a million times.
• 49:05
  Speaker 7: Better because Buffy was amazingly well put together. So, I
• 49:09
  Speaker 7: don't know. That's my thing. I'm just like, there's a,
• 49:12
  Speaker 7: at least in that third one. The second one, there's
• 49:14
  Speaker 7: nothing there. It's a waste of time. But the third one,
• 49:16
  Speaker 7: at least, I was just like, okay, there's at least
• 49:18
  Speaker 7: the element of it.
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: Entertaining story by the end of that the relationship bullshit
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: is in fact that bullshit but i'm like by the
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: end there's a good story and they fuck all that
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: up too just like why are you wasting these stories i.
• 49:30
  Speaker 7: Don't know wow I'm not even.
• 49:32
  Speaker 8: Sure what that is.
• 49:33
  Speaker 14: Have you seen her bra?
• 49:34
  Speaker 7: Check out the bra.
• 49:35
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 49:35
  Speaker 8: That's wild.
• 49:36
  Speaker 12: Yep.
• 49:37
  Speaker 14: Look at her face. She's got a butter face.
• 49:39
  Speaker 8: A fairy.
• 49:40
  Speaker 7: A whole.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: A lot of butter face.
• 49:41
  Speaker 8: A horror princess thing.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 49:44
  Speaker 14: Anything else about the shitty movies?
• 49:45
  Speaker 8: Your costume would be complete with a mask.
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: We tried to sell her on one over at her table. Like,
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: look at this wide array of masks. Please buy one.
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: Please buy one.
• 49:54
  Speaker 8: You need one that covers your whole face, not just
• 49:56
  Speaker 8: the top half.
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: None of this Lone Ranger access. I want a full
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: Michael Myers mask. So, yeah, that's what I was thinking. Like,
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: the battle scene thing in the third one could be
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: cool in a real movie. And then I was thinking,
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: even the very end of the second one, like, the vampire, like,
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: hierarchy in the second one is interesting.
• 50:15
  Speaker 7: Like, again, because it doesn't involve Bella or their bullshit
• 50:19
  Speaker 7: love story. But I'm like, the.
• 50:22
  Speaker 7: Way that the system is organized.
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: Could be interesting in another movie why I'm not watching
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: that movie if it was just better made that's what
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: makes me angry it's just like if it was better
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: done there's elements of a story in there that could
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: really be interesting and could be turned into something cool
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: and instead we get this.
• 50:41
  Speaker 14: That's what the tween girls want they want that stupid
• 50:44
  Speaker 14: romantic love story with an abusive jackass that's.
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: The thing just write it better i don't mind you
• 50:49
  Speaker 4: know there's a yes you need to fill that void
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: in the market for for romance and you gotta have
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: something to tap into that age group too but i'm
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: just like Why?
• 50:57
  Speaker 7: Why is this the dumbest of all of them, the
• 50:59
  Speaker 7: one that catch on?
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 51:01
  Speaker 8: I couldn't tell if that one girl had zombie makeup
• 51:04
  Speaker 8: on or if she just had really bad acne.
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, bad acne.
• 51:07
  Speaker 7: Oh, the only upside I have to Dakota Fanning, badass.
• 51:11
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah.
• 51:12
  Speaker 7: Her just, like, mind-beating the hell out of people was
• 51:15
  Speaker 7: kind of awesome.
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: Like, I could watch her do that in a good movie.
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: Why it's in this movie, I don't know. But once again,
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: when she's using the Force on vampires, I'm like, That's awesome.
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: I want a force-using vampire. Again, something that doesn't belong
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: in the mythology at all.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: No, it's like, yeah, some amalgamation between, like, ghosts and
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: vampires and Jedis.
• 51:34
  Speaker 8: That's not a vampire. None of it makes any sense.
• 51:36
  Speaker 8: She's kind of dressed like a Jedi, too.
• 51:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: Like the newer, the prequel movies when they all dress
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: like hippies and monks and shit. This one is specifically
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: for YouTube, probably Misty more than anybody. I did get
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: midway into that second movie and I went, Okay, she's right.
• 51:52
  Speaker 7: What the hell is wrong with Jasper's face?
• 51:54
  Speaker 14: Poop face.
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: What is wrong?
• 51:55
  Speaker 7: Like, why does he make that face all the time?
• 51:58
  Speaker 8: He's got a poop.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: I guess.
• 52:00
  Speaker 14: How's it going? How's it going, baby?
• 52:03
  Speaker 7: He's doing the face, ladies and gentlemen. He's doing the face.
• 52:07
  Speaker 7: The face that plays on a podcast. Do vampires... He's
• 52:11
  Speaker 7: got to poop.
• 52:12
  Speaker 8: He's got to take a shit.
• 52:13
  Speaker 7: Are they not able to use the potty? Is that
• 52:14
  Speaker 7: a problem? Is that part of the mythology now?
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: That comes out in the fourth book.
• 52:17
  Speaker 8: He just did.
• 52:18
  Speaker 7: Comes out in the fourth book. I get it. He
• 52:23
  Speaker 7: didn't have a.
• 52:24
  Speaker 14: Problem with Bella's face and her constant twitching?
• 52:26
  Speaker 7: I'm just used to that, but I just hadn't looked
• 52:30
  Speaker 7: at him.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Her lip biting?
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: I've blocked her out is the funny part. She's the
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: last thing I'm paying attention to in this movie. It
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: centers around her character, and she's the last thing I'm
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: looking for.
• 52:39
  Speaker 7: That wolf's cool. Oh, look, look.
• 52:41
  Speaker 8: You still on the second movie, or we got in
• 52:43
  Speaker 8: the third?
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: They're all very different.
• 52:44
  Speaker 7: It's run into one big thing. And like I said,
• 52:46
  Speaker 7: I just started writing shit down.
• 52:47
  Speaker 14: I just feel like we're talking way too damn much
• 52:48
  Speaker 14: about this movie.
• 52:49
  Speaker 8: Okay, well, did you notice his all of a sudden
• 52:51
  Speaker 8: switching to a southern drawl when they start talking about him?
• 52:53
  Speaker 8: He used to be a Confederate soldier.
• 52:55
  Speaker 7: That's another part.
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: I'm like, you know, working in this weird backstory from
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: the Civil War could be good.
• 53:01
  Speaker 7: Eh, kind of dumb in this movie. It kind of
• 53:04
  Speaker 7: doesn't really make that much sense.
• 53:05
  Speaker 8: Teenage girls don't give a shit about the Civil War.
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: But working in, they've done horror movies that sort of
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: go back to the Civil War.
• 53:12
  Speaker 7: So I'm like, there's ways to do that. This isn't it.
• 53:16
  Speaker 7: Let's see. We'll try to round it out here because
• 53:17
  Speaker 7: we're sick of these movies.
• 53:18
  Speaker 14: I am.
• 53:19
  Speaker 7: Okay, here's what I will give it.
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: Aside from Dakota, about the only thing that was good
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: in the entire run.
• 53:28
  Speaker 7: Billy Boy? The scene with them in the tent while
• 53:32
  Speaker 7: she's asleep.
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: Again, the best part of it, she's asleep and not
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: talking or biting her lip or twitching or any of
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: that shit. But the dialogue there, the exchange between them
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: is actually kind of interesting. That's the first time in
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: that entire series I went, you know, this scene isn't bad.
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: And it's because it's such a weird, awkward situation they're in,
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: and they kind of throw it out on the table,
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: and they're.
• 53:53
  Speaker 7: Just like, okay, this is, I don't know, I thought
• 53:55
  Speaker 7: that was an interesting scene. I don't want to just
• 53:58
  Speaker 7: bash on it. I saw one good thing in it,
• 54:00
  Speaker 7: aside from Dakota, and that was it. So, there. I
• 54:03
  Speaker 7: balanced it out. As much as I humanly possible.
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: You're much too kind.
• 54:08
  Speaker 7: As much as humanly possible, I balanced it out. And then, okay,
• 54:11
  Speaker 7: I do have to get back to the point that
• 54:12
  Speaker 7: you made a couple of weeks ago. When did they
• 54:15
  Speaker 7: turn porcelain?
• 54:15
  Speaker 14: Dude, seriously.
• 54:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, they killed a vampire in the first movie.
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: Did that happen when they killed Ponytail and Douchebag? Yeah.
• 54:22
  Speaker 8: No.
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: I don't remember. They had to cut him up.
• 54:24
  Speaker 7: But I don't remember. Yeah, it's like maybe they just
• 54:25
  Speaker 7: didn't show it so we didn't see.
• 54:27
  Speaker 14: But they ripped him to pieces.
• 54:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah. And I don't remember there being.
• 54:30
  Speaker 8: It didn't seem like much to rip him to pieces.
• 54:32
  Speaker 8: All they had to do was just shatter him.
• 54:34
  Speaker 7: But I was like, did you change your mind midway
• 54:36
  Speaker 7: into your own series?
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: Like, what happened?
• 54:38
  Speaker 8: You can't glue them back together.
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: And again, I have the real, much like the shirtless
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: Jacob story, I have the real reason. The real reason
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: is we want to keep this PG-13. If we make
• 54:47
  Speaker 4: this a bloodbath, we're not going.
• 54:49
  Speaker 7: To be able to do this. Now, how can we
• 54:50
  Speaker 7: kill them.
• 54:51
  Speaker 4: make it sort of, you know, a big deal that
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: we're killing them and yet not show blood.
• 54:55
  Speaker 8: They could have turned to dust like in Buffy.
• 54:57
  Speaker 7: See, that was the Buffy out, but the Buffy out.
• 54:59
  Speaker 14: Then they're turning to dust like in Buffy.
• 55:00
  Speaker 7: Like in Buffy. So they had to go a different way.
• 55:02
  Speaker 7: How about porcelain?
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: I just.
• 55:06
  Speaker 7: And that's what I didn't understand.
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: Once again, if you made that and introduced it from
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: the first one, but why would you change Midway into
• 55:11
  Speaker 4: your own series?
• 55:12
  Speaker 7: That just makes no sense to me.
• 55:14
  Speaker 8: I like that they explode into a big glob of
• 55:16
  Speaker 8: goo on True Blood.
• 55:19
  Speaker 7: That was, yeah, that was pretty legit.
• 55:21
  Speaker 4: That was all, after a while I think I quit
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: writing because I was tired of it altogether.
• 55:25
  Speaker 7: I was just glad like three hours and twenty minutes
• 55:29
  Speaker 7: later when I was finally escaped that thing. It was
• 55:32
  Speaker 7: a lot of watching.
• 55:33
  Speaker 5: Alright.
• 55:34
  Speaker 14: You go that way, you drunken fool.
• 55:36
  Speaker 8: I don't understand this guy. He seems to think he
• 55:38
  Speaker 8: knows me, but He's a complete asshole.
• 55:42
  Speaker 7: You get that a lot, actually.
• 55:44
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 55:44
  Speaker 8: A lot of people think they know me, but they don't.
• 55:46
  Speaker 5: Me too.
• 55:46
  Speaker 14: People think that I'm Rachel from Cincinnati.
• 55:49
  Speaker 7: Would you just come to terms with the fact that
• 55:50
  Speaker 7: you are Rachel?
• 55:50
  Speaker 14: Was it Rachel?
• 55:51
  Speaker 7: Was that the name that I was getting?
• 55:52
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 55:52
  Speaker 7: You keep calling her.
• 55:54
  Speaker 5: Nashville.
• 55:54
  Speaker 8: No, Nashville.
• 55:55
  Speaker 7: You keep calling her Rachel, so now I just assume
• 55:57
  Speaker 7: she is Rachel.
• 55:58
  Speaker 8: No, it's Rachel.
• 55:59
  Speaker 7: Oh, man. Well, I think I'll round out that half, so...
• 56:02
  Speaker 7: That was it from mine.
• 56:03
  Speaker 4: We're going to break up the rest of these crazy
• 56:06
  Speaker 4: goings on.
• 56:07
  Speaker 7: So we'll take a break and be back. Yes, he is.
• 56:10
  Speaker 7: Right over there.
• 56:11
  Speaker 8: Oh, he's so fucking fast.
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: I disagree.
• 56:15
  Speaker 14: He's got a tramp stamp, too.
• 56:17
  Speaker 7: It's not six-sided dies and twelve-sided dies.
• 56:21
  Speaker 9: Look after my heart.
• 56:23
  Speaker 17: Even if we're worlds apart, you're only scared of me.
• 56:29
  Speaker 17: When you're in my car, maybe because.
• 56:31
  Speaker 7: We're in the dark.
• 56:34
  Speaker 17: We can't see my shiny spot.
• 56:36
  Speaker 7: I love you.
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: I want you right now.
• 56:40
  Speaker 5: Yes, I love you.

  Speaker 17: Because when the moon shines, we'll sparkle together. Told you
• 56:45
  Speaker 17: that I'll live forever. Said I'm not human, but I'm
• 56:49
  Speaker 17: still a man. I'll never criticize Romeo again.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: Thank heaven I'm.
• 56:54
  Speaker 15: Not your father.

• 58:38
  Speaker 11: Thomas Howell.
• 58:39
  Speaker 15: There you will be So young and carefree.
• 58:45
  Speaker 7: We're here for C. Thomas Howell.
• 58:47
  Speaker 4: I guess so early on you get just sort of
• 58:50
  Speaker 4: interested in stunt work?
• 58:51
  Speaker 7: Is that how you got into it?
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: Well, my father's a stuntman, so I grew up planning
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: on being a stuntman.
• 58:57
  Speaker 10: I did a lot of stunt work as a child,
• 58:59
  Speaker 10: you know, and that's a real nepotistic industry, the stunt world.
• 59:04
  Speaker 10: You know, most stuntmen have their kids and they grow
• 59:07
  Speaker 10: up to, you know, take over. the family business, so
• 59:10
  Speaker 10: to speak, but, you know, I sort of got lucky,
• 59:14
  Speaker 10: and at a young age, I was hired to work
• 59:16
  Speaker 10: on a little movie called E.T., and I was pretty
• 59:20
  Speaker 10: much hired to be a stunt kid that could act,
• 59:22
  Speaker 10: you know, I could do a lot of the stunts
• 59:24
  Speaker 10: on the bikes, and whatnot, and most of the other
• 59:26
  Speaker 10: actors weren't real athletic, so to speak, and um so
• 59:31
  Speaker 10: i got that gig because i could do the the
• 59:35
  Speaker 10: tough stuff really yeah and then you know slowly but
• 59:39
  Speaker 10: surely i thought well this is cool but i never
• 59:41
  Speaker 10: i never planned on being an actor or anything and
• 59:44
  Speaker 10: then i got this audition for francis coppola to do
• 59:47
  Speaker 10: the outsiders which turned into probably 30 auditions and um
• 59:51
  Speaker 10: you know after about three months of that i i
• 59:53
  Speaker 10: ended up nabbing the role of pony boy so I
• 59:57
  Speaker 10: had a career going from Spielberg to Coppola, and the
• 59:59
  Speaker 10: next thing you know, the stunt kid from Valencia, California
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 10: turned into an actor.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's an impressive way to start off your career
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 7: with those two. Pretty much downhill since.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 4: That sets the bar pretty high. I guess I was
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 4: just going to give you a chance to kind of...
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 4: tell people what you've got working on. I mean, you've,
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 4: you've gone into a lot of.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 10: You know, I've just, I'm on a new series on TNT.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 10: We're going into our four seasons called Southland. I play, uh, uh,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 10: an LAPD recovering alcoholic and, you know, not the most
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 10: likable guy on the force, but again, it's one of
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 10: the best parts I've ever had.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 7: So I just look forward to going to work every
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 7: day on that.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 10: And I've got a small part in a new Spider-Man
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 10: coming out next summer. And, um, you know, I'm just,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 10: I'm just really happy to be a working actor and,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 10: with a large body of work underneath him and draw
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 10: from my experience and continue to grow and learn and
• 1:00:51

  Speaker 2: It was delicious.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 7: Marlena showed up for a minute. You didn't really hear
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 7: her talk, but she was here for a little while.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 14: She was stuck in traffic on the way here. She
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 14: would have been here longer.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 7: That's true.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 14: She was stuck in traffic for hours because there was
• 1:03:21

• 1:03:23
  Speaker 11: Fun.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 14: She didn't say if she saw any dead bodies, though.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: No, but we did sit in the middle of the
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 4: convention eating cake, so that was pretty awesome.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 14: And somebody offered to buy a piece of cake. Yeah.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 7: We were trying to bribe celebrities.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 4: We're still, if we see a furlong go by, we're
