  Speaker 1: to brush my hair.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: You've lost your brush under the bed.
• 0:05
  Speaker 3: It was scary.

  Speaker 1: The monsters might have been using it. The dead hookers
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: might have been brushing their hair.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: That is where I keep the dead hooker in my
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: hotel room.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: It's too fancy a hotel to have dead hookers.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Damn it.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: They say that for Gary, Indiana.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: That's true, actually. It's a sad part.

  Speaker 9: My dick looks like a corn dog. I got cake
• 1:31
  Speaker 9: all over my ball.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: What's up and welcome to Movie Meltdown. I'm Brian.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I am Misty.
• 1:40
  Speaker 10: I'm Jay.
• 1:41
  Speaker 11: And we are hanging around the hotel room this morning.
• 1:44
  Speaker 11: We're back another week in Chicago here. Not really a
• 1:47
  Speaker 11: week for us, but for you guys, it's another week
• 1:50
  Speaker 11: in Chicago.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Long time in Chicago.
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: It'd be fine if I had this hotel room. The
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: bathroom's clean. I kind of liked it. $ 180.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I didn't think I.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Could pay for it. I can't pay for this one, but...
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Worth it?
• 2:04
  Speaker 11: If you just lived in the hotel room for weeks
• 2:06
  Speaker 11: on end. Some people have that extravagant lifestyle. We aren't
• 2:10
  Speaker 11: quite the high rollers here at Movie Mountain Town.
• 2:12
  Speaker 12: We get the one-nighters.
• 2:14
  Speaker 11: We're lucky to get the one-nighters with Dead Hookers. Anyway, so, Misty,
• 2:20
  Speaker 11: I think when I woke up, I looked over, I
• 2:22
  Speaker 11: think you were cuddling with your picture of Noah Hathaway.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I was looking at, I was noticing the fact that
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: he messed up spelling the. He didn't really mess it up,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: he just crossed the wrong letter. He crossed his H
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: instead of his T. I'm trying to figure out how to,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I think this is a Treyu, but to me it
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: looks like a Tuya.
• 2:40
  Speaker 9: I'm not really sure.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Or a Stewie?
• 2:44
  Speaker 11: If you were there last week, yeah, her autographed picture
• 2:46
  Speaker 11: of Noah Hathaway from NeverEnding Story.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: It doesn't look like a treu. What the hell?
• 2:53
  Speaker 13: That looks like an M-U-U-Y-S.
• 2:59
  Speaker 10: With a crossed M.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: He's a treu. He can spell however he wants. He's
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: creating his own damn universe.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: He crosses his H instead of his T. I want
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: to start doing that.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: He crosses his M, too. Oh, Lord.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: But you wrote my name nice. On my shiny picture.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Noah is cool.
• 3:17
  Speaker 11: So, we've been hanging around watching bad music videos most
• 3:21
  Speaker 11: of the morning. Do you have your favorites you'd like
• 3:24
  Speaker 11: to run down?
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I love the Lady Gaga song. The new one. What's
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: it called again?
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Judas.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: No, the new one.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Not that one.
• 3:31
  Speaker 12: Which one?
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: The dance one? Yeah. Yeah. The one with just all.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Is it called Let's Dance? No, not that one. Just Dance? No,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: that's an old one.
• 3:41
  Speaker 10: It's like, I don't know.
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: Edge of.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Edge of Glory.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Edge of Glory.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Glory, Midnight, Days of Glory.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: And then we made Brian and Natasha watch the Judas and.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: The Lady Gaga, Judas, and Judas Priest mashup, which is
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: fucking phenomenal. I don't care.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: It is frightening how well those two go together. We
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: should look that shit up.
• 4:02
  Speaker 11: The more I watched, I was like, ah, I can
• 4:04
  Speaker 11: see those guys all hanging out together. Their music is
• 4:07
  Speaker 11: kind of different, but, you know, I can see them
• 4:09
  Speaker 11: all kind of hanging out together.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Totally. Lady Gaga hanging out with Rob.
• 4:13
  Speaker 13: There were Lady Gagas at the show.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I should go ask Norman Reedus if he's heard the mashup.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I bet he would like it. I had a dream
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: last night that he died. I should go check on him.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: You should check on him. You should go back over there.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I was horrified. It was a very traumatizing dream.
• 4:25
  Speaker 11: You should go up and tell him that you're good in.
• 4:27
  Speaker 11: I'm just making sure you're okay. I had a dream
• 4:29
  Speaker 11: that he died. That won't frighten him at all.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: That won't get security called on me, not even a
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: little bit.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Not at all. So, any other morning wrap-ups? What was
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: your favorite song that they bleeped out?
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I was pissed. I don't remember the name of the band,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: but the song is Pumped Up Kicks. I forget what
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the name of the band is, but they fucking censored that.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: They censored out Guns and Bullets. Are you serious?
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: First of all, we were watching VH1, so you can't
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: be shocked by this. They censored Sublime a long time ago, remember?
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they censored half of that song.
• 5:04
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 5:06
  Speaker 13: They censored everything.
• 5:07
  Speaker 8: You couldn't say.
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: Ah, shit, what was it?
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: What did he say?
• 5:12
  Speaker 10: Drugs?
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: They censored that.
• 5:13
  Speaker 13: They censored Chrome 45.
• 5:19
  Speaker 11: I told you, you have to censor that stuff, because
• 5:21
  Speaker 11: if I heard them mention bullets and guns, I want
• 5:23
  Speaker 11: to go shoot a lot of people.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: It makes me.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Want to shoot people if they censor out guns and bullets.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: The safety and protection of society.
• 5:30
  Speaker 8: Dude, that's all bullshit, man.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: All right, I play violent video games. And you stabbed
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: somebody in the knee.
• 5:38
  Speaker 8: No, somebody stabbed me.
• 5:39
  Speaker 10: In the knee and I cut some guy.
• 5:40
  Speaker 13: That was different.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: You told me you stabbed somebody in the knee.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: No, Roy stabbed me in the knee with a linoleum knife.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: You told me you stabbed somebody in the knee while
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: listening to Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N' Roses.
• 5:49
  Speaker 8: I cut a guy. I didn't stab him in the knee.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Now you're changing your story.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not.
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 5:54
  Speaker 13: You're getting too many of my stories mixed up.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I think you're getting your story mixed up.
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: I know exactly which ones are which.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: No, I have a better memory than you.
• 6:03
  Speaker 9: Anyways, wait a minute.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Please.
• 6:06
  Speaker 8: I know I've got a bad memory.
• 6:07
  Speaker 13: I just, I know which ones are which. But no,
• 6:10
  Speaker 13: I carry around a fucking gun and I don't shoot anybody.
• 6:13
  Speaker 10: You know?
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Well, you're not listening to enough cheesy pop music.
• 6:16
  Speaker 9: Apparently.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: You know? That's what you need to push her right
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: over the edge.
• 6:21
  Speaker 14: I guess.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: All right. Any other morning cheeriness to pass along to people?
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I woke up way too damn early.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I always wake up too damn early.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I woke up even before your alarm.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I woke up at like Dude, that alarm, my alarm
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: scared the shit out of me.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: It scared the crap out of me, too.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: The sad part was I was already up when you
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: were alarm went off.
• 6:39
  Speaker 11: Really?
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: I was just sitting there going, what time is it?
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I don't even know.
• 6:42
  Speaker 11: Why is there no clock in here?
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Which there is, but it doesn't glow. If it doesn't
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: glow in the dark, it's useless.
• 6:48
  Speaker 8: Well, I can't see anyway. Even if it did glow,
• 6:50
  Speaker 8: I couldn't see anything.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I woke up around like 6.30 this morning. I was mad.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: This bed was hella comfortable, though. I don't know why
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I woke up.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: They are comfortable. I'm not used to that. I think
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: it was throwing me off.
• 7:00
  Speaker 13: I had a macchiato this morning.
• 7:02
  Speaker 10: What the hell's that?
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: It's fancy-ass coffee.
• 7:04
  Speaker 8: Apparently, it was pretty damn good.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Like $ 5?
• 7:08
  Speaker 13: It was a $ 4 fucking little cup of coffee is
• 7:10
  Speaker 13: what it was.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: A $ 5 cup of coffee.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: You're a sucker.
• 7:14
  Speaker 12: Well, they didn't have regular gas station coffee.
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:17
  Speaker 9: I asked the lady.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: I was like, well, I know I don't like.
• 7:22
  Speaker 13: Espressos because they're just, I don't know, they taste like dirt.
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:27
  Speaker 13: They don't put enough sugar in half the shit.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you need more cappuccino in there.
• 7:32
  Speaker 13: I asked her, I was like, what's the sugariest, most
• 7:35
  Speaker 13: sweetest thing you've got on here? And she was like,
• 7:37
  Speaker 13: a cafe macchiato.
• 7:38
  Speaker 10: And I was like, alright, I'll take one of those.
• 7:41
  Speaker 11: Anything with mocha involved just means they dump chocolate syrup
• 7:44
  Speaker 11: into it, so that's a good thing too.
• 7:45
  Speaker 13: I know I don't like a cafe latte, although for
• 7:48
  Speaker 13: some reason I keep getting them, I forget that I
• 7:50
  Speaker 13: don't like them.
• 7:52
  Speaker 15: Memories, see?
• 7:52
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: But, uh.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what happened last year.
• 7:57
  Speaker 11: I ended up getting coffee at the hotel, and it
• 7:59
  Speaker 11: was the fancy high-end coffee because that's all they had
• 8:01
  Speaker 11: down there.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: So what are you going to do?
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 8:04
  Speaker 13: You can't doctor it up. I need to doctor my
• 8:06
  Speaker 13: coffee up. So I need to know it's going to
• 8:08
  Speaker 13: be sweet and creamy.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: You all were fancy and ended up here having coffee out.
• 8:12
  Speaker 10: Of, like, glasses.
• 8:13
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Well, it wasn't another paper cup. I stole it yesterday
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: for green tea.
• 8:19
  Speaker 11: But why would you have that thing, which makes two
• 8:21
  Speaker 11: cups of coffee, and give you one paper cup that
• 8:23
  Speaker 11: would hold coffee?
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: No, they gave us two. That was it?
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 8:26
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I had green tea yesterday.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Still, though, why wouldn't they give you... They should give
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: you enough cups for options.
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, there was tea as well, so they should
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: give you at least enough cups to cover all your options.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Much like the towels. They always give you one short
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: towel of what you need, too. Like, guys, really? Come on.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Just throw an extra one in there. You got a
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: whole carton.
• 8:42
  Speaker 10: Well, they give you three towels.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Three towels and a four-bed.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Well, because we only had three people listed on.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: The feed here. They know better than that.
• 8:48
  Speaker 10: I don't think they.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: It's a convention.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: It's a convention.
• 8:50
  Speaker 13: I don't think they put towels out according to who's
• 8:52
  Speaker 13: staying in the room. I think they just throw out
• 8:54
  Speaker 13: a certain number of towels.
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: I guess.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: But it's always one short of what you need.
• 8:57
  Speaker 13: The laundry cart was right there.
• 8:58
  Speaker 10: We could have gotten one.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: So it's not like it's any big deal. Well, we'll
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: have to hit it on the way out. You just
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: stock up on towels. Housekeeping? What kind of hotel is this?
• 9:10
  Speaker 11: All right, so with all our coffee talk, that was
• 9:12
  Speaker 11: just the initial coffee we had, so we're going to
• 9:16
  Speaker 11: have to go get some more coffee.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: So I think that's our next stop. I don't like coffee.
• 9:19
  Speaker 11: You can have hot chocolate or something, but the rest
• 9:22
  Speaker 11: of us are going to go get caffeinated up, so
• 9:24
  Speaker 11: we'll check back in with you later.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Are you trying to figure out how to steal the television?
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: No, I was looking to see if I had any.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: That's our story, and we're sticking to it.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Sometimes it looks like it does. Kids with a phone
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: that gets you there.
• 10:10
  Speaker 14: In the mood for hot coffee? When you are, nothing
• 10:13
  Speaker 14: else will satisfy. Coffee has a flavor, an aroma, a
• 10:16
  Speaker 14: deep down satisfying goodness all its own. And our coffee
• 10:20
  Speaker 14: has something extra, the care with which we brew and
• 10:22
  Speaker 14: serve it. You'll enjoy the show more while you're enjoying
• 10:25
  Speaker 14: steaming hot coffee.
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: Come and get yours now. We'll take it.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: It started as a simple crime. The Candy Snatchers. For them,
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: it was a new beginning. For her, it was the
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: beginning of the end. Three losers who wanted to lead
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: the good life. The Candy Snatchers. They'd do anything to
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: get there. The Candy Snatchers. They were after a fortune
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: in diamonds.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: We cut off her ear.
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: And they sent her father a piece of candy in
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: a box.
• 11:06
  Speaker 10: Oh my God, no!
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: The Candy Snatchers.
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: They did things they couldn't even believe themselves.
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: The Candy Snatchers. Bizarre.
• 11:18
  Speaker 10: Incredible.
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: Almost unbelievable. The Candy Snatchers.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: This is the one they're talking about.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Come with me and you'll be In a.
• 11:33
  Speaker 17: World of pure imagination, take a look and you'll see
• 11:40
  Speaker 17: into your imagination.
• 11:44
  Speaker 11: So at the convention this week, they had something that
• 11:46
  Speaker 11: I thought was pretty great. They had a reunion of
• 11:48
  Speaker 11: all the kids from the original Willy Wonka and the
• 11:51
  Speaker 11: Chocolate Factory. A movie that I still think is amazing.
• 11:55
  Speaker 11: And luckily, I had a chance to talk to several
• 11:58
  Speaker 11: of the actors.
• 11:58
  Speaker 10: We'll see, we'll define, and I'm.
• 12:05
  Speaker 18: Paris Tham, and I was Mike TV and Willy Wonka
• 12:07
  Speaker 18: in The Chocolate Factory.
• 12:08
  Speaker 9: Very cool.
• 12:10
  Speaker 11: I guess just in general, I guess how did you
• 12:13
  Speaker 11: get involved in the project?
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Did you know the scope of it when you went
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: in to do like an audition?
• 12:18
  Speaker 18: How I got involved is I started acting when I
• 12:20
  Speaker 18: was six.
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: My parents were classical musicians, and my mom brought me
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: to a commercial agent, and I booked the first commercial
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: I went up for. I'd done a Broadway show before
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: I booked this, so it was just sort of another audition.
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: And no, I didn't really know where it was going
• 12:35
  Speaker 7: to head. It didn't really start to grow into its
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: current popularity until about 20 years ago.
• 12:42
  Speaker 18: At the time, it wasn't a big hit.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: And then what was, I guess, the shoot itself like?
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: Were all the kids on set most of the time?
• 12:48
  Speaker 11: And was that an interesting shoot with having that many
• 12:51
  Speaker 11: kids around?
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: It took me nine weeks to shoot my section. I
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: think longer than that for Charlie, shorter than that for Augustus,
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: that kind of thing.
• 13:02
  Speaker 18: Was it fun to have the kids around?
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely.
• 13:05
  Speaker 18: I think that it was in Munich, Germany in 1970.
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: And yeah, it was more fun to have kids around.
• 13:11
  Speaker 18: We were kids, so it's always nice to have the
• 13:13
  Speaker 18: kids around.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: What was Gene like to work with?
• 13:16
  Speaker 18: Very nice guy. Soft-spoken, cool, gentle, kind, good guy. Very talented, obviously.
• 13:23
  Speaker 19: Peter Ostrom, I played Charlie Bucket and Willy Wonka in
• 13:28
  Speaker 19: And the Chocolate Factory.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: I guess how did you end up getting involved?
• 13:33
  Speaker 19: I lived in Cleveland, worked at the Cleveland Playhouse and
• 13:38
  Speaker 19: the casting agency came from New York and knew the
• 13:42
  Speaker 19: reputation of the Playhouse in Cleveland and I was asked
• 13:46
  Speaker 19: if I wanted to audition. I was in the right
• 13:49
  Speaker 19: place at the right time.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: Most of the movie kind of falls on your shoulders.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: Was that a lot to deal with, being that young?
• 13:57
  Speaker 16: I didn't realize it at that point.
• 14:00
  Speaker 19: I had lots of help from Jack Albertson and Gene Wilder,
• 14:04
  Speaker 19: so I didn't realize the heavy burden.
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: You also spend a lot of time with Gene Wilder.
• 14:10
  Speaker 9: What was that like?
• 14:11
  Speaker 16: Gene was wonderful, both he and Jack, you know, very professional.
• 14:14
  Speaker 19: You know, they were, you know, kind of my mentors
• 14:17
  Speaker 19: in the film, so great people to work with.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: And then the set itself was kind of a big ordeal.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, how was that, being a kid and running
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: around that set?
• 14:28
  Speaker 9: I was there for so long.
• 14:31
  Speaker 16: The novelty of being in a film kind of wore off,
• 14:34
  Speaker 16: you know.
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: We were.
• 14:39
  Speaker 19: Expected to work as adults and be professional and not.
• 14:42
  Speaker 16: Screw around, and we didn't. We had a job to do,
• 14:48
  Speaker 16: and we did it, basically.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: Thank you very much.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Thanks.
• 14:52
  Speaker 20: My name is Julie Dawn Cole, and I played Veruca Saltz.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: All right. You have a very specific type of character
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: in the movie. I guess, what was it you were
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: drawing from on that character?
• 15:03
  Speaker 20: I suppose if you're saying specific, yes, I was a brat.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: That's the wrong way of putting it.
• 15:07
  Speaker 20: Yes, politely.
• 15:09
  Speaker 21: I'm the definitive brat, I suppose. Veruca Salt was particularly
• 15:13
  Speaker 21: mean and nasty. She was the original material girl. Whatever
• 15:17
  Speaker 21: she wanted, I want it, and I want it now.
• 15:20
  Speaker 11: Um i guess what was your experience like on you
• 15:22
  Speaker 11: know working on that set with all the.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Kids and the crazy.
• 15:25
  Speaker 22: Everything yeah my experience of being on the film was
• 15:28
  Speaker 22: it was great fun to be in um little did
• 15:32
  Speaker 22: any of us realize that we'd still be talking about
• 15:34
  Speaker 22: it 40 years later but what an amazing film to
• 15:37
  Speaker 22: be in with amazing scenery and great actors and and
• 15:40
  Speaker 22: the company of the kids i mean we've always said
• 15:42
  Speaker 22: we're kind of a bit like a strange family.
• 15:45
  Speaker 11: Yeah years later still kind of what is it like
• 15:48
  Speaker 11: you know this is the first time everybody's been together
• 15:49
  Speaker 11: in how many.
• 15:50
  Speaker 21: Years maybe about nearly eight or ten years or something
• 15:54
  Speaker 21: yes nothing changes you know we all look a little
• 15:56
  Speaker 21: bit more crinkly around the edges but you know we're
• 15:59
  Speaker 21: still at heart probably the same people that we always were.
• 16:03
  Speaker 11: And then you're I guess your character sort of found
• 16:06
  Speaker 11: a second life in the music business.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: How did that hit you the first time you heard
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: about that?
• 16:12
  Speaker 21: Because I still live in England, I hadn't heard of
• 16:15
  Speaker 21: Veruca Salt, the band. When I did hear about it,
• 16:18
  Speaker 21: I think in 97 or whenever I first did a convention, everybody.
• 16:21
  Speaker 20: Kept coming up to me saying, what do you think
• 16:23
  Speaker 20: about the band?
• 16:23
  Speaker 18: What do you think about the band?
• 16:24
  Speaker 21: So eventually somebody gave me the CD. I think they're
• 16:26
  Speaker 21: pretty good, but a shame I never got to hear
• 16:28
  Speaker 21: them play.
• 16:28
  Speaker 11: It is kind of weird, yeah, that you've moved into
• 16:31
  Speaker 11: the other areas of pop culture now.
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 16:33
  Speaker 20: Yeah, and occasionally, you know, we still pop up in
• 16:35
  Speaker 20: other shows.
• 16:36
  Speaker 21: I mean, I know they did a kind of tribute,
• 16:39
  Speaker 21: if you like, in Glee, which was quite incredible when
• 16:43
  Speaker 21: I saw that.
• 16:43
  Speaker 20: I'm a big Glee fan. So that was quite cool.
• 16:46
  Speaker 10: Very cool.
• 16:47
  Speaker 9: Thank you very much.
• 16:48
  Speaker 18: Thank you.

• 17:59
  Speaker 3: It's the end.
• 18:27
  Speaker 25: Way down among Brazilians coffee beans grow by the billions
• 18:32
  Speaker 25: so they've got to find those extra cups to fill
• 18:36
  Speaker 25: they got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil.
• 18:40
  Speaker 11: Alright so we're back and this time we've decided to
• 18:45
  Speaker 11: do a special edition of the caffeinated movie.
• 18:47
  Speaker 10: Geek cappuccino my butt I still drink coffee The.
• 18:52
  Speaker 26: Last fucking thing you need is another cup of coffee.
• 18:55
  Speaker 27: It's time for the Caffeinated Movie Geek.
• 18:58
  Speaker 11: We decided to take it on the road while we're
• 19:00
  Speaker 11: in Chicago and wanted to stop off here at Bleeding
• 19:04
  Speaker 11: Heart Bakery.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: So I'm here with Vinny.
• 19:06
  Speaker 10: Why, hello.
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: And you are the co-owner.
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: I am the co-owner.
• 19:10
  Speaker 10: I am the pop of the mom and pop here
• 19:11
  Speaker 10: at Bleeding Heart Bakery.
• 19:13
  Speaker 11: As usual with our Caffeinated Movie Geek segment, I usually
• 19:16
  Speaker 11: go to someone to tell me. So I'll ask you, Vinny,
• 19:19
  Speaker 11: what blend of coffee are we drinking this time?
• 19:21
  Speaker 10: This is a fabulous blend called the Black and Tan
• 19:24
  Speaker 10: from Altera Coffee, one of the local roasters here to
• 19:27
  Speaker 10: the area. They make this blend for us. It's pretty bold.
• 19:31
  Speaker 10: It's pretty awesome. I like it a lot. Gets the
• 19:34
  Speaker 10: caffeine fluids going. Definitely.
• 19:37
  Speaker 11: We've already had a little bit, but this one's much better, actually,
• 19:40
  Speaker 11: than the random hotel coffee I had this morning.
• 19:42
  Speaker 10: Oh, yeah. It's really fun to be able to work
• 19:45
  Speaker 10: with someone who's as big into coffee as we are.
• 19:48
  Speaker 10: When somebody can hear a shot being... pulled properly or not,
• 19:51
  Speaker 10: it's pretty impressive. And the coffee, you know, I was
• 19:55
  Speaker 10: able to work with us because I've always had like
• 19:57
  Speaker 10: heartburn sometimes from some coffee that's too acidic. And learning
• 20:00
  Speaker 10: what that is and the differences and stuff was really cool.
• 20:03
  Speaker 10: My wife thinks I'm a nerd, but when it comes
• 20:06
  Speaker 10: to delicious coffee, they're really... You really have to put
• 20:08
  Speaker 10: your foot down and be very nerdy about it.
• 20:10
  Speaker 11: There's a lot of aspects to it, so much more
• 20:12
  Speaker 11: than you realize when you just go order a cup.
• 20:15
  Speaker 8: Oh, it's a culture.
• 20:16
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it's massive.
• 20:18
  Speaker 10: It's amazing, and once you get into it, you try
• 20:21
  Speaker 10: not to get too involved, but it just sucks you
• 20:23
  Speaker 10: right in.
• 20:23
  Speaker 9: Definitely.
• 20:24
  Speaker 10: Coffee is not coffee. There's good coffee, and there's not
• 20:26
  Speaker 10: so good coffee.
• 20:27
  Speaker 11: There's a wide array, which is kind of why I
• 20:30
  Speaker 11: wanted to throw this in while we were here. It
• 20:32
  Speaker 11: was like, let's, you know, we do our little coffee
• 20:34
  Speaker 11: tie-in segment, so I thought we'd do that, and... Again,
• 20:36
  Speaker 11: we came here last year and really liked what you
• 20:38
  Speaker 11: guys were doing.
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: Thanks.
• 20:39
  Speaker 11: Thank you.
• 20:39
  Speaker 10: So I was going to give you an.
• 20:41
  Speaker 11: Opportunity to tell people about what you do and your
• 20:44
  Speaker 11: bakery and other aspects of the business.
• 20:47
  Speaker 10: Well, this is the Bleeding Heart Bakery. It is what
• 20:50
  Speaker 10: it is. It's sustainable punk rock pastry. People always think, oh,
• 20:53
  Speaker 10: punk rock, so is there like a giant record collection
• 20:55
  Speaker 10: in there and there's all this cool stuff in the wall? Well, no. Actually,
• 20:58
  Speaker 10: what we're about is kind of doing things against the grain.
• 21:01
  Speaker 10: A lot of people have seen our business practices, you know,
• 21:04
  Speaker 10: like paying your... dishwasher, a livable salary, things like that.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: That's crazy.
• 21:10
  Speaker 10: Providing benefits in a safe environment for people.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: I'm still looking for that.
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: Wait a minute.
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, right?
• 21:18
  Speaker 10: There's so many people that have seen what we do
• 21:19
  Speaker 10: and have thought, you guys are going to fail. You're
• 21:21
  Speaker 10: not going to make any money. Really, it hasn't been
• 21:23
  Speaker 10: about making money. This is Michelle's vision. I helped bring
• 21:27
  Speaker 10: it to life. It's really been about providing a world
• 21:31
  Speaker 10: for us to live in. It was more about making
• 21:34
  Speaker 10: enough money to get by and being happy about where
• 21:37
  Speaker 10: we are and what we're doing and trying to bring
• 21:39
  Speaker 10: that to the people that work here.
• 21:40
  Speaker 8: And be proud of what they're doing.
• 21:43
  Speaker 10: We donate a lot of proceeds and we work with
• 21:45
  Speaker 10: a lot of non-profit organizations. We had to limit it
• 21:48
  Speaker 10: to two a month so we could cycle them out
• 21:50
  Speaker 10: because it was a couple of months where we donated
• 21:52
  Speaker 10: more money than we made and It was getting a
• 21:55
  Speaker 10: little bad when you can't pay your rent, you know.
• 21:57
  Speaker 11: It's nice to give some, but you've got to keep
• 21:59
  Speaker 11: going or you benefit nobody.
• 22:01
  Speaker 10: So when you walk in here, it's obviously there's an
• 22:03
  Speaker 10: obvious punk rock aesthetic. But really, the decoration here has
• 22:07
  Speaker 10: been just kind of like a shadow of Michelle and
• 22:10
  Speaker 10: I's bedrooms growing up. There's some Faber band stuff. There's
• 22:13
  Speaker 10: a lot of cool drawings. A lot of things you
• 22:15
  Speaker 10: see here, like these funky tables I made myself. The
• 22:18
  Speaker 10: whisk lights that have become the signature for us is
• 22:20
  Speaker 10: something I made myself as well. Those are awesome. Just
• 22:22
  Speaker 10: kind of drooling and fooling around in the back in
• 22:24
  Speaker 10: a little work room. And we really have just tried
• 22:28
  Speaker 10: to break that stereotype of organic bakery. Oh, it's organic.
• 22:33
  Speaker 10: It's going to be like mint green walls, and it's
• 22:35
  Speaker 10: going to be like this hippie granola place. Hippies.
• 22:37
  Speaker 12: Yeah, no.
• 22:38
  Speaker 10: Not here. Punk rock has played a big part in
• 22:42
  Speaker 10: Michelle and I's life. The politics of punk rock sometimes
• 22:45
  Speaker 10: get lost in music. People love the pretty music, and
• 22:48
  Speaker 10: they realize that a lot of punk has come from
• 22:51
  Speaker 10: different countries where it was inspired by different oppressive governments
• 22:55
  Speaker 10: or things like that. I've been a drummer my whole life.
• 22:59
  Speaker 10: I've been in several big bands in the underground punk scene.
• 23:02
  Speaker 10: I've been contributing to the punk rock scene through music
• 23:05
  Speaker 10: and through being an activist. And now that we're here,
• 23:07
  Speaker 10: we work with a lot of organizations like the Mercy
• 23:09
  Speaker 10: Home Foundation, And, you know, there's a home for battered women,
• 23:14
  Speaker 10: food shelters, so many different places that we work with
• 23:17
  Speaker 10: that we really try to be the opposite of normal business.
• 23:22
  Speaker 10: So that's what we are. You know, we source our
• 23:24
  Speaker 10: ingredients from local farmers as much as we possibly can.
• 23:28
  Speaker 10: We're completely organic because we wanted to provide, you know,
• 23:31
  Speaker 10: not just delicious tasting food that my wife's, you know,
• 23:36
  Speaker 10: culture and studied around the world, but also the best ingredients.
• 23:39
  Speaker 10: A lot of places you walk into, they'll charge you
• 23:41
  Speaker 10: an arm and a leg for something that's made with garbage.
• 23:43
  Speaker 10: It's like, why do you want to eat garbage? My
• 23:46
  Speaker 10: children are here. My children exist here. They're going to
• 23:48
  Speaker 10: eat this food. I eat this food. And we definitely
• 23:50
  Speaker 10: wanted to just raise the bar for what would be
• 23:52
  Speaker 10: normal in the pastry world.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: It's definitely, especially in the punk rock scene, that DIY attitude.
• 23:59
  Speaker 11: And you guys have definitely, what little I've seen, is
• 24:02
  Speaker 11: taken that upon yourself and applied it towards us. I mean,
• 24:05
  Speaker 11: that's really cool, too, that you've just built it up
• 24:07
  Speaker 11: out of nothing and really stuck by your guns with
• 24:10
  Speaker 11: what you're trying to do.
• 24:11
  Speaker 10: Yeah, a lot of people have tried to buy into
• 24:12
  Speaker 10: Bleeding Heart over the years, trying to take us to
• 24:14
  Speaker 10: the next, quote, unquote, next level.
• 24:17
  Speaker 9: The next level.
• 24:18
  Speaker 10: And it's really just people trying to exploit what we
• 24:20
  Speaker 10: were doing, and we really had to fight against it.
• 24:24
  Speaker 10: It's really tempting to say, okay, I've worked so hard,
• 24:27
  Speaker 10: I deserve a payday. And, you know, just let it
• 24:30
  Speaker 10: all go. But I could never see the integrity of
• 24:32
  Speaker 10: this place go to shambles like that.
• 24:33
  Speaker 11: I mean, it really could be something that was marketed
• 24:35
  Speaker 11: really easily if somebody got behind it with a lot
• 24:37
  Speaker 11: of money and suddenly it would become like Hard Rock
• 24:39
  Speaker 11: Cafe and, oh, we slap stuff up on the walls
• 24:42
  Speaker 11: and we serve, you know, bakery goods.
• 24:44
  Speaker 10: It goes so beyond that. We're connected with local shows,
• 24:47
  Speaker 10: you know, bands, organizations that are actually doing things, putting
• 24:51
  Speaker 10: together benefit shows like, you know, for people who pass away,
• 24:55
  Speaker 10: band members are hardcore for the hungry, where you have
• 24:58
  Speaker 10: to pay with food products to get in. And things
• 25:01
  Speaker 10: like that really set us apart from everybody else. And
• 25:05
  Speaker 10: the misconception is that a lot of people walk in here,
• 25:07
  Speaker 10: and it's usually the young punks who have granny jackets
• 25:11
  Speaker 10: and patches, or the older punks who think that you
• 25:13
  Speaker 10: judge your punkness by your record collection and vinyl. They
• 25:17
  Speaker 10: really kind of come in here and don't really see
• 25:19
  Speaker 10: what's going on and what's happening behind the scenes. It's
• 25:22
  Speaker 10: not just It's not the aesthetic. It's not the aesthetic.
• 25:25
  Speaker 10: There could be more bands and posters and stuff on
• 25:28
  Speaker 10: the wall. But there really isn't because this is just
• 25:30
  Speaker 10: a reflection of the reality that is the life of
• 25:33
  Speaker 10: Michelle and I.
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: And this is who we are.
• 25:36
  Speaker 10: We're not trying to be punk rock.
• 25:37
  Speaker 8: This is who we are.
• 25:39
  Speaker 10: When someone said, oh, wow, that was a great idea
• 25:41
  Speaker 10: to do some punk thing that hasn't been done before.
• 25:42
  Speaker 10: I was like, we weren't trying to do a punk thing.
• 25:45
  Speaker 10: I was just trying to make this place look cool.
• 25:47
  Speaker 10: This is me making the place look cool.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: This is where I hang out 20 hours a day.
• 25:52
  Speaker 10: Black is a color. It can be used in decorating
• 25:54
  Speaker 10: a storefront.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: You rarely get to go home, so you might as
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: well make this your second home.
• 26:00
  Speaker 10: It's funny that you say that because I have more
• 26:03
  Speaker 10: of the things that I acquire. I meet artists and things.
• 26:05
  Speaker 10: I get stuff made or autographed, and I collect these things.
• 26:09
  Speaker 10: I'm an avid collector. And I have more of them
• 26:11
  Speaker 10: on display here.
• 26:12
  Speaker 23: Than I do at home.
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, see, that's what happens.
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: Because I'm almost never home.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: Definitely.
• 26:17
  Speaker 10: Oh, man. But, you know, it really is different here.
• 26:22
  Speaker 10: This is a passion. My wife is super passionate about pastry.
• 26:26
  Speaker 10: And this is our life. We're not here to make money.
• 26:29
  Speaker 10: We're not here to try and, like, survive in this
• 26:31
  Speaker 10: industry by, you know, marketing ourselves and trying to take
• 26:34
  Speaker 10: money from people. This is who we are.
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: This is our home.
• 26:37
  Speaker 10: And when you come in here, you can see it.
• 26:39
  Speaker 10: that you're stepping into a part of our lives.
• 26:41
  Speaker 11: I was going to also let you kind of highlight
• 26:45
  Speaker 11: some of the specifics or some of the, I guess,
• 26:47
  Speaker 11: the more signature pieces you guys have here as far
• 26:50
  Speaker 11: as types of baked goods.
• 26:53
  Speaker 10: You know, it was funny because when we first started,
• 26:55
  Speaker 10: Michelle hated two things. She hated muffins and she hated cupcakes.
• 26:59
  Speaker 10: And now with this cupcake craze... She's been forced to
• 27:02
  Speaker 10: kind of accept it and make them, but she's kind
• 27:05
  Speaker 10: of revolutionized a lot of the cupcakes. She started doing
• 27:07
  Speaker 10: savory cupcakes before they were popular. And a lot of
• 27:12
  Speaker 10: the things that we get noticed for are flavors we
• 27:15
  Speaker 10: put in our cupcakes that come from other recipes like
• 27:17
  Speaker 10: cakes or different pastries. Michelle's a trained pastry chef, so
• 27:21
  Speaker 10: it kind of kills her a little bit to have
• 27:22
  Speaker 10: to make cookies and brownies and cupcakes when she's used
• 27:25
  Speaker 10: to making mousse cakes and tarts and things like that.
• 27:29
  Speaker 10: But one of the things we've become famous for here
• 27:32
  Speaker 10: is the s'mores brownie, which is just delicious.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: Which I just got and I'm about ready to break into.
• 27:36
  Speaker 10: It's amazing. And the cupcakes for sure, especially when we
• 27:39
  Speaker 10: started doing the really odd flavors and recycle them every month.
• 27:43
  Speaker 10: Another thing we've been really famous for, we don't have
• 27:45
  Speaker 10: now our tarts, fresh fruit tarts and different tarts, which
• 27:48
  Speaker 10: we will be having at our new place.
• 27:50
  Speaker 8: Because Michelle just.
• 27:51
  Speaker 10: She couldn't keep up with the demand for them. And
• 27:55
  Speaker 10: as much as we tried, our staff would never duplicate
• 27:57
  Speaker 10: them properly. And then, last but not least, the cake ball.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: The cake ball was... I just tried, and it's amazing.
• 28:04
  Speaker 10: They are so addictive. You know, a lot of people
• 28:07
  Speaker 10: try to copy them, and no one gets them just right.
• 28:09
  Speaker 10: And they really are just leftover scraps from all the
• 28:11
  Speaker 10: cakes that we sculpt and cut in the back.
• 28:13
  Speaker 14: Wow.
• 28:14
  Speaker 10: You know, we're very sustainable. We try to reuse everything
• 28:16
  Speaker 10: that we possibly can. And one day, Michelle just said,
• 28:20
  Speaker 10: you know what, I have an idea for all this
• 28:21
  Speaker 10: leftover cake. You know, some of it we would donate,
• 28:24
  Speaker 10: some of it we would compost. And one day, we're like, She.
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: Just thought cake balls.
• 28:29
  Speaker 10: And cake balls were born, and now they're a craze,
• 28:31
  Speaker 10: and everyone wants to have them. And I can see why,
• 28:34
  Speaker 10: because they're beautiful, they're colorful, they taste really good, and
• 28:37
  Speaker 10: they're so hard to eat just one.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: They are pretty damn impressive, I have to say.
• 28:42
  Speaker 10: So all those things, and then definitely our cakes. I
• 28:46
  Speaker 10: accidentally got into making cakes one day. When we first
• 28:49
  Speaker 10: opened this bakery, I was a trained chef. My idea was, yes,
• 28:53
  Speaker 10: we're opening this bakery today, My role is going to
• 28:55
  Speaker 10: have to be making soups and sandwiches and expanding that
• 28:57
  Speaker 10: into the menu. And one day, you know, this is
• 29:01
  Speaker 10: way before all the cake shows on TV.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: Which there are 40 or 50 now.
• 29:05
  Speaker 10: There's like 50 now. I think I lost count. And
• 29:09
  Speaker 10: we were asked to make a cake that had a
• 29:11
  Speaker 10: little figure on it, like a little fairy. And one
• 29:13
  Speaker 10: of the girls who was Michelle's assistant made one. And
• 29:16
  Speaker 10: I was just kind of joking, busting balls a little bit.
• 29:18
  Speaker 10: And I thought, wow, that's the best you can do.
• 29:20
  Speaker 10: I could do better than that. I'm like, I've modeled Play-Doh.
• 29:22
  Speaker 10: It's kind of similar.
• 29:23
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 29:24
  Speaker 10: And then, you know, after a lot of joshing back
• 29:25
  Speaker 10: and forth, it turned into a, well, let's see what
• 29:28
  Speaker 10: you got. Put your money where your mouth is. I
• 29:31
  Speaker 10: just sculpted it. It looked immaculate. And my wife looked
• 29:35
  Speaker 10: at it and said, you know what? You're doing that
• 29:38
  Speaker 10: from now on.
• 29:38
  Speaker 8: You're in charge of that.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: History you were like damn it why didn't i mess
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: this up.
• 29:43
  Speaker 10: But you know it's fun you know people ask me
• 29:45
  Speaker 10: all the time how i got into it honestly making
• 29:48
  Speaker 10: cakes the way i make cakes here these crazy elaborate
• 29:51
  Speaker 10: 3d cakes and like competition cakes really utilizes everything i've
• 29:55
  Speaker 10: learned throughout the years i'm really close to being a
• 29:58
  Speaker 10: professional electrician, a professional plumber, or a professional carpenter. I've
• 30:02
  Speaker 10: shown that here, building this place out of nothing. But
• 30:06
  Speaker 10: only in building these custom cakes do I get to
• 30:08
  Speaker 10: utilize all those skills. And it is just so much fun.
• 30:12
  Speaker 10: People see a cake and they're like, oh my God,
• 30:14
  Speaker 10: I can't believe that's a cake. And at the same time,
• 30:17
  Speaker 10: they're thinking, how the hell did you figure that out?
• 30:19
  Speaker 10: And I'm like, well, that's the fun part. That's the
• 30:20
  Speaker 10: hard part, but it's also the fun part to sit
• 30:22
  Speaker 10: down and just figure out how to make a dragon cake.
• 30:26
  Speaker 10: with a long neck that's like three feet long and
• 30:29
  Speaker 10: make it last and stay together and stuff. And it's
• 30:33
  Speaker 10: really fun. And I think in the last few years,
• 30:36
  Speaker 10: we've really exploited my layers of nerddom, if you will,
• 30:41
  Speaker 10: and making some pretty elaborate cakes in the different genres
• 30:44
  Speaker 10: of sci-fi horror and stuff. And now I'm in love.
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: This is where it's at for me.
• 30:50
  Speaker 10: And I think one of the greatest decisions I've ever
• 30:53
  Speaker 10: made in my life is to pursue making cakes.
• 30:55
  Speaker 27: That's awesome.
• 30:57
  Speaker 11: Well, in addition to all the cakes and the music tie-in,
• 31:01
  Speaker 11: you also end up being kind of a big movie fan, too.
• 31:05
  Speaker 10: Oh, gosh. Growing up, if it was good, it was
• 31:07
  Speaker 10: on my shelf. I hoard a lot of collectibles, statues,
• 31:11
  Speaker 10: and action figures, not toys.
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 31:13
  Speaker 9: We're geeks on this show, so it's okay. You're in
• 31:16
  Speaker 9: good company.
• 31:17
  Speaker 10: I think some of the skills I had that I'm
• 31:19
  Speaker 10: using now came through back in the day when I
• 31:21
  Speaker 10: was a painting little Ralph Partha miniatures for Dungeons & Dragons.
• 31:24
  Speaker 11: Oh, yeah.
• 31:25
  Speaker 10: And I've been able to utilize those skills I acquired
• 31:28
  Speaker 10: very well here.
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: I would think, yeah, in the cakes that would come
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: in handy.
• 31:32
  Speaker 10: But no, this movie collection and exposure to all that stuff,
• 31:34
  Speaker 10: that's what kind of separates me from everyone else because
• 31:36
  Speaker 10: it's like if I make a cake and somebody sees
• 31:38
  Speaker 10: it and they duplicate it, yeah, you can look at
• 31:40
  Speaker 10: it and say, I can make that, I can figure
• 31:42
  Speaker 10: that out. But it's that moment in time where somebody
• 31:44
  Speaker 10: walks through the door and says, hey, I'm really into
• 31:47
  Speaker 10: Doctor Who. What can you make me? It's that point
• 31:50
  Speaker 10: in time where you decide what to make, how to
• 31:52
  Speaker 10: make it, that separates you from other people. And it's
• 31:55
  Speaker 10: like if you walk in here and you want a
• 31:56
  Speaker 10: cool cake and I say, what are you into? You
• 31:58
  Speaker 10: tell me it's classic horror films like Freddy or Jason.
• 32:06
  Speaker 10: What kind of cake is going to come out of
• 32:07
  Speaker 10: my head? The sky's the limit here. And I really
• 32:10
  Speaker 10: hit genres for people.
• 32:11
  Speaker 11: I would think most places, they wouldn't have an idea.
• 32:14
  Speaker 11: If you want a Cthulhu cake, they're going to not
• 32:16
  Speaker 11: know what you're talking about.
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 32:16
  Speaker 10: See, someone here is like, hey, I want a Cthulhu cake,
• 32:18
  Speaker 10: and I'm Indian. I'm like, well, how about we make
• 32:20
  Speaker 10: a Ganesh cake that's really Cthulhu, and I do this,
• 32:23
  Speaker 10: and I do that, and I add this, and I
• 32:24
  Speaker 10: add that. And the people are just like, oh, my God,
• 32:25
  Speaker 10: that's amazing.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: That's awesome.
• 32:26
  Speaker 8: And all of a sudden, I've put together.
• 32:27
  Speaker 10: This giant showpiece that definitely put in more time and
• 32:32
  Speaker 10: labor than what was paid for. But for me, it's
• 32:34
  Speaker 10: worth it because I get this eternal picture to keep forever.
• 32:38
  Speaker 10: And the layers and layers of science fiction, old movies,
• 32:43
  Speaker 10: whether it's even stuff like cartoons, James Bond. Oh, yeah.
• 32:46
  Speaker 10: I mean, you name it. Harry, Harryhausen.
• 32:50
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah, Ray Harryhausen.
• 32:52
  Speaker 10: All that stuff just comes out of my head and
• 32:53
  Speaker 10: it comes through into the things that I do. And
• 32:56
  Speaker 10: that's one of the questions I get asked all the time.
• 32:59
  Speaker 8: Where do you come up with this stuff?
• 33:00
  Speaker 10: I say, you know what? It's part of my life.
• 33:02
  Speaker 8: I grew up around.
• 33:03
  Speaker 9: Years of research.
• 33:04
  Speaker 10: Yeah, years and years of research. That's what I'm tapping into.
• 33:08
  Speaker 10: And that's why I wish I was more involved with
• 33:10
  Speaker 10: projects like this.
• 33:11
  Speaker 8: Very cool.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: And, yeah, that's why we kind of wanted to tie
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: it all in.
• 33:14
  Speaker 9: I was like, you know, just based on what I saw,
• 33:16
  Speaker 9: I was.
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: Like, I'm sure there's a movie geek in there somewhere.
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: I've got to find this guy because it's got to
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: be this guy.
• 33:21
  Speaker 8: I was really shy for a long time.
• 33:22
  Speaker 10: My wife was giving all the credit for all this
• 33:24
  Speaker 10: cool stuff until finally Fangoria called. And they saw this
• 33:27
  Speaker 10: amazing cake I made, or we made here, and they're like,
• 33:30
  Speaker 10: we want to interview you. And I thought, you know what? Like, wow,
• 33:32
  Speaker 10: people are noticing and people are seeing it. I need
• 33:34
  Speaker 10: to stop being shy and come out of the corner,
• 33:37
  Speaker 10: the dark corner. And really, in the last, like, three years,
• 33:40
  Speaker 10: I've been pushing it out. I've been getting a little recognition,
• 33:43
  Speaker 10: and people have noticed that, really, in the city of Chicago. Yeah. Without,
• 33:47
  Speaker 10: you know, tooting my own horn and not blowing smoke
• 33:49
  Speaker 10: up your butt there. I really am the best when
• 33:52
  Speaker 10: it comes to not only the skill level of these cakes,
• 33:55
  Speaker 10: but just the realm in which they go to. There's
• 33:59
  Speaker 10: no boundaries, you know. I go there and back again,
• 34:04
  Speaker 10: for sure.
• 34:05
  Speaker 11: Oh, on that note, we'll take a break here. When
• 34:07
  Speaker 11: we come back, we'll have our movie discussion of the
• 34:09
  Speaker 11: week here.
• 34:10
  Speaker 12: Ooh, the movie.
• 34:11
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah, the big movie.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: So good.
• 34:13
  Speaker 27: We'll be back.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Dear Mr.
• 35:00
  Speaker 28: Vernon, we accept the fact that we have to sacrifice
• 35:02
  Speaker 28: a few hours a week to podcast about whatever you
• 35:04
  Speaker 28: find important, but we think you're crazy asking us to
• 35:07
  Speaker 28: write an essay telling you who we think we are.
• 35:10
  Speaker 28: You see us as you want to see us, in
• 35:12
  Speaker 28: the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions. But what
• 35:15
  Speaker 28: we found out is that each of us is a
• 35:17
  Speaker 28: podcast about other podcasts.
• 35:19
  Speaker 8: A podcast about television.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: A podcast about films.
• 35:23
  Speaker 8: A podcast about music.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: A podcast about books.
• 35:26
  Speaker 10: Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, The Podcast Podcast.
• 35:31

• 35:52
  Speaker 15: It's time for Sofa Theater.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: Welcome to Steakland, kid.
• 36:17
  Speaker 29: Months passed in a blur of days and nights. We
• 36:20
  Speaker 29: traveled east and west, but always north, away from death.
• 36:24
  Speaker 29: We avoided the cities. Mister said they were the worst,
• 36:27
  Speaker 29: hit the hardest in the beginning. As people flocked together
• 36:31
  Speaker 29: for safety, the plague marched through their locked gates and
• 36:33
  Speaker 29: they became death traps. When Washington fell, it was over
• 36:37
  Speaker 29: for America as we knew her. As government blew away,
• 36:41
  Speaker 29: our great leaders ran for it, and hope was abandoned.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: We were on our own now.
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: Me and Mister.
• 36:53
  Speaker 29: Traveling through a ruined land. Pockets of civilization survived. Towns
• 36:58
  Speaker 29: locked down behind fences and guns, holding the night away.
• 37:02
  Speaker 29: The cult spread like wildfire across the southern states, waiting
• 37:06
  Speaker 29: for the Messiah.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: But he never came. Death came in its stead. And
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: it came with teeth.
• 37:19
  Speaker 11: The world is a vampire Sent to drain Secret destroyers
• 37:32
  Speaker 11: Hold you up to the flames And what do I
• 37:37
  Speaker 11: get For my pain Betrayed desires Alright, so we're back
• 38:10
  Speaker 11: with this week's Sofa Theater Feature, which is once again
• 38:13
  Speaker 11: on the road. We've headed to Chicago, so we're still
• 38:15
  Speaker 11: here at Bleeding Heart Bakery with Vinny, and we're going
• 38:17
  Speaker 11: to discuss this week's movie. This week's Sofa Theater Feature
• 38:21
  Speaker 11: is Stakeland. The year is 2010.
• 38:24
  Speaker 9: Director Jim Mickle.
• 38:26
  Speaker 11: The plot, according to IMDb, and feel free to argue,
• 38:29
  Speaker 11: because we argue with IMDb every week. Martin was a
• 38:32
  Speaker 11: normal teenage boy before the country collapsed into an empty
• 38:35
  Speaker 11: pit of economic and political disasters. A vampire epidemic has
• 38:39
  Speaker 11: swept across what is left of the nation's abandoned towns
• 38:42
  Speaker 11: and cities, and it's up to Mister, a death-dealing rogue
• 38:45
  Speaker 11: vampire hunter, to get Martin safely to Canada, the continent's
• 38:49
  Speaker 11: new Eden.
• 38:51
  Speaker 15: That's it.
• 38:51
  Speaker 10: That kind of covers it a little bit.
• 38:53
  Speaker 9: That covers it.
• 38:54
  Speaker 14: For sure.
• 38:54
  Speaker 30: Yeah.
• 38:55
  Speaker 8: So much more, though.
• 38:56
  Speaker 27: More than that.
• 38:57
  Speaker 9: So, that's the basics there.
• 38:58
  Speaker 11: So, I guess, spoiler alert, because this is sort of
• 39:01
  Speaker 11: a new movie for a lot of people, so we'll
• 39:04
  Speaker 11: will probably ruin everything. So yeah, just go watch it
• 39:06
  Speaker 11: beforehand because if you're a horror fan, it's worth it.
• 39:08
  Speaker 11: But where would you like to begin with this one?
• 39:11
  Speaker 10: Well, I was pleasantly surprised. I mean, I didn't know
• 39:14
  Speaker 10: this movie existed. It's obviously a year later.
• 39:16
  Speaker 8: I just didn't know.
• 39:18
  Speaker 10: I know I live under a rock with my eyes
• 39:21
  Speaker 10: closed in a cave.
• 39:21
  Speaker 11: It wasn't just you because it did not get a
• 39:23
  Speaker 11: lot of backing. I don't know what happened because I
• 39:26
  Speaker 11: know we we talked to daniel harris like a year
• 39:28
  Speaker 11: or so ago and she mentioned that she had been
• 39:30
  Speaker 11: making it was really you know interested in you know
• 39:32
  Speaker 11: it was a good project she was looking forward to
• 39:34
  Speaker 11: it coming out and then like i didn't hear anything
• 39:36
  Speaker 11: and then finally like one of our listeners was like
• 39:38
  Speaker 11: hey have you guys seen this it's out and so
• 39:40
  Speaker 11: i don't know where the premiere was i don't know
• 39:43
  Speaker 11: where the marketing went but yeah it's it's a shame
• 39:45
  Speaker 11: that it didn't get more.
• 39:46
  Speaker 10: Yeah I was stunned. Halfway through the movie, I thought, automatic,
• 39:52
  Speaker 10: going on my shelf. And I've got to say, not
• 39:54
  Speaker 10: many movies make it onto my shelf.
• 39:56
  Speaker 11: I've started narrowing it down these days. So it's impressive.
• 40:02
  Speaker 11: I don't know, what was your take on it?
• 40:04
  Speaker 8: Ah, jeez.
• 40:05
  Speaker 10: I don't know.
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, God, there's so much going on in this movie.
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: I think, like, I'll... I like that they.
• 40:12
  Speaker 31: Didn't give too much backstory because a lot of movies
• 40:14
  Speaker 31: kind of kill you with the backstory.
• 40:16
  Speaker 27: Oh, yeah.
• 40:16
  Speaker 12: You don't know where Mr. Scum is from. You don't
• 40:18
  Speaker 12: know what training he's had. All you know is he's
• 40:20
  Speaker 12: a badass.
• 40:21
  Speaker 10: It's like a situation that's just happening and you're watching it.
• 40:24
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 40:24
  Speaker 8: You don't necessarily need an explanation.
• 40:27
  Speaker 12: No.
• 40:28
  Speaker 8: I can respect that and appreciate that.
• 40:31
  Speaker 11: That's one of my favorite parts is that running thing
• 40:33
  Speaker 11: of watching them read old newspapers. And you sort of
• 40:37
  Speaker 11: see just the headlines of the world kind of falling apart.
• 40:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 40:39
  Speaker 10: Like you see.
• 40:40
  Speaker 11: You know, the city's falling apart, the government falling apart,
• 40:44
  Speaker 11: but you.
• 40:44
  Speaker 9: Just get those little glimpses here and there.
• 40:46
  Speaker 10: They don't have to give you a big flashback.
• 40:48
  Speaker 12: They don't have to get down for you.
• 40:50
  Speaker 8: They don't have to be like, what happened, stupid?
• 40:52
  Speaker 9: 15-minute montage, voiceover, explaining every little thing. It's just hints
• 40:56
  Speaker 9: of it.
• 40:57
  Speaker 12: And they throw you right into the shit.
• 40:58
  Speaker 11: They do.
• 40:59
  Speaker 10: Right immediately.
• 41:00
  Speaker 12: You're like, whoa.
• 41:02
  Speaker 10: I love that little bit of narrating here and there, too,
• 41:04
  Speaker 10: where he's kind of just talking about his experience.
• 41:06
  Speaker 8: Like, it's just enough background.
• 41:08
  Speaker 10: It really is.
• 41:09
  Speaker 8: And I hate I'm very critical when it comes to movies.
• 41:13
  Speaker 10: It's funny because my brother and I always talk about
• 41:15
  Speaker 10: if we would direct a movie, if we would make a.
• 41:17
  Speaker 8: Movie, main characters should die. There should be no happy ending.
• 41:20
  Speaker 8: There should be no stupid jokes.
• 41:21
  Speaker 10: There should be no happy moment with a funny song
• 41:24
  Speaker 10: where they have an innocent romp.
• 41:26
  Speaker 8: Before they realized where they were. There was none of
• 41:28
  Speaker 8: that cheese.
• 41:28
  Speaker 9: This one hits all those marks.
• 41:29
  Speaker 10: Lactose-free.
• 41:30
  Speaker 8: This movie was lactose-free.
• 41:32
  Speaker 26: Definitely.
• 41:33
  Speaker 12: And they had parts in it where you were just like, whoa,
• 41:35
  Speaker 12: I didn't see that coming. Geez, they really did that.
• 41:38
  Speaker 11: Well, like you were saying, like right off the bat,
• 41:40
  Speaker 11: you were like thrown in. Both of you were just,
• 41:43
  Speaker 11: we were like that scene with.
• 41:44
  Speaker 9: Him and his family.
• 41:45
  Speaker 10: That was pretty hardcore.
• 41:46
  Speaker 9: Specifically when they go out in the barn and the baby.
• 41:49
  Speaker 12: Yeah, the baby scene.
• 41:51
  Speaker 11: Just him looking for it is really scary. But at
• 41:54
  Speaker 11: the same time, you get to that baby, and it's
• 41:55
  Speaker 11: just like, oh, my God, that's horrible.
• 41:57
  Speaker 10: It's disturbing. I love it when I'm disturbed. And you
• 42:01
  Speaker 10: know what's funny? It's just reality. There's nothing fantastical about it.
• 42:05
  Speaker 10: I mean, other than it's, you know. But still, a
• 42:09
  Speaker 10: situation is a very real situation, and it hits home
• 42:11
  Speaker 10: if you have babies. And even if you don't, like,
• 42:14
  Speaker 10: it's just, hey, look, this is happening. So you immediately
• 42:17
  Speaker 10: get stunned at the beginning of the movie. Guess what?
• 42:20
  Speaker 10: It's like a car accident.
• 42:20
  Speaker 8: There's an accident. You're watching it.
• 42:22
  Speaker 10: You know grab onto your seat and get ready because
• 42:25
  Speaker 10: it only gets better from here it i mean.
• 42:27
  Speaker 11: I mean it definitely sets the tone right off the
• 42:28
  Speaker 11: bat i mean most movies most studio movies wouldn't even
• 42:32
  Speaker 11: consider killing a child oh.
• 42:34
  Speaker 10: No that goes against the demographic and such such sponsors.
• 42:37
  Speaker 11: Let alone an infant and this one we're like two
• 42:40
  Speaker 11: minutes in and it happened i'm just like oh wow
• 42:42
  Speaker 11: you really know you're in for that kind of a
• 42:44
  Speaker 11: movie when right off the bat they do that but Yeah,
• 42:47
  Speaker 11: that scene's one of the most impressive in the whole movie.
• 42:49
  Speaker 10: That scene to me just read right from the beginning
• 42:52
  Speaker 10: and said class. The movie has class, and it's getting
• 42:55
  Speaker 10: ready to be serious.
• 42:57
  Speaker 9: Definitely.
• 42:59
  Speaker 10: And don't get me wrong, I like a little cheese
• 43:01
  Speaker 10: in stuff.
• 43:02
  Speaker 8: I'm a big fan.
• 43:02
  Speaker 10: Of Dead Alive.
• 43:04
  Speaker 8: Or things like that.
• 43:06
  Speaker 9: Army of Darkness kind of cheese.
• 43:07
  Speaker 10: Yeah, you've got to love Bruce Campbell. But this is
• 43:11
  Speaker 10: a whole separate animal.
• 43:13
  Speaker 8: From the beginning, I was just locked in.
• 43:16
  Speaker 10: It's very different.
• 43:17
  Speaker 9: I guess we can go into some of the characters,
• 43:19
  Speaker 9: and what do you think of Mister... I thought Mr.
• 43:21
  Speaker 8: Was pretty cool.
• 43:22
  Speaker 11: That guy hasn't been in a lot of other stuff.
• 43:24
  Speaker 11: The director did one other movie before this, and he's
• 43:26
  Speaker 11: in that. And other than that, I don't think he's
• 43:28
  Speaker 11: got a lot of stuff.
• 43:29
  Speaker 10: He's a good actor.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: For sure.
• 43:30
  Speaker 12: He's a really good actor.
• 43:32
  Speaker 11: He's good at just being very cold and pissed off. But,
• 43:35
  Speaker 11: I mean, I don't know what he would have to
• 43:36
  Speaker 11: do if he has to be in a romantic comedy.
• 43:38
  Speaker 11: I don't know what this guy's going to do.
• 43:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 43:41
  Speaker 31: One of the great things about it, too, is they
• 43:42
  Speaker 31: didn't give a backstory on him at all.
• 43:44
  Speaker 12: So you don't know who died. You obviously know something
• 43:46
  Speaker 12: happened to him.
• 43:47
  Speaker 10: Yeah, his family was.
• 43:48
  Speaker 12: But they don't have to go into the, oh.
• 43:50
  Speaker 31: You know, you killed my teacher, or, you know, you
• 43:52
  Speaker 31: killed my kid, or you killed my wife, or any
• 43:55
  Speaker 31: of that.
• 43:55
  Speaker 10: I love Benji!
• 43:56
  Speaker 8: Replacing anybody or anything.
• 43:58
  Speaker 12: Yeah, no, it's just, he's out, and he's staking the
• 44:01
  Speaker 12: hell out of vampires.
• 44:02
  Speaker 8: And he is a badass. He really is.
• 44:03
  Speaker 10: He really is just, like, one of those guys you
• 44:05
  Speaker 10: can't really hug, you know?
• 44:06
  Speaker 8: You really want to hang out with, though, because he's
• 44:08
  Speaker 8: super cool.
• 44:09
  Speaker 9: There's no nice moment with him.
• 44:10
  Speaker 11: Like, even towards the end, even the most little touching
• 44:13
  Speaker 11: moment of, I guess, the handoff is, you know, we'll
• 44:16
  Speaker 11: get to the end, I guess, but.
• 44:17
  Speaker 9: There's that little moment of.
• 44:18
  Speaker 11: Him passing on the torch to the kid, and it's like,
• 44:21
  Speaker 11: even then, it's detached.
• 44:23
  Speaker 9: He's gone. It's cold. And I'm just like, yeah, there's
• 44:26
  Speaker 9: never a warm moment with him.
• 44:28
  Speaker 10: Yeah, and that right there is very, very commendable. Like,
• 44:32
  Speaker 10: the movie does not hit those, you know, specific formula
• 44:36
  Speaker 10: chords that need to be hit that, you know, these
• 44:38
  Speaker 10: big Hollywood movies seem to have to follow. And right
• 44:42
  Speaker 10: then and there is when you know that a movie
• 44:44
  Speaker 10: gets separated from the herd.
• 44:46
  Speaker 9: Definitely, definitely. What about Martin himself?
• 44:51
  Speaker 11: I mean, I think for a young actor, it's amazing
• 44:54
  Speaker 11: how much, again, most of this movie is sort of
• 44:56
  Speaker 11: thrust upon him.
• 44:57
  Speaker 9: He becomes kind of the main character, and I think
• 45:00
  Speaker 9: he holds his own.
• 45:00
  Speaker 11: I think he ends up not being overly cheesy. He's
• 45:03
  Speaker 11: not a whiny kid, really. He kind of steps up
• 45:06
  Speaker 11: and does what needs to be done.
• 45:07
  Speaker 31: Yeah, but you're watching him. You're watching him kind of
• 45:10
  Speaker 31: grow and, you know. You're like, at first, when you
• 45:12
  Speaker 31: first see him, you're like, dude, this kid's going to die.
• 45:14
  Speaker 10: There's no way.
• 45:15
  Speaker 9: He's going to have Mr.
• 45:16
  Speaker 12: Having to keep his ass alive constantly.
• 45:18
  Speaker 8: I'm just glad they didn't have any, like, Justin Bieber hairdo.
• 45:21
  Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.
• 45:22
  Speaker 9: I thought they would have brought in the teen demographic.
• 45:25
  Speaker 15: Come on, man. Totally.
• 45:26
  Speaker 10: They didn't target that demographic. A lot of cool shows
• 45:29
  Speaker 10: I've seen, specifically TV shows, series where you see that
• 45:35
  Speaker 10: formula get run through over and over again.
• 45:38
  Speaker 8: It's always a young actor that kind of kills it.
• 45:40
  Speaker 10: Because he needs to be like a heartthrob, or he
• 45:41
  Speaker 10: needs to appeal, you know, he needs to be twilight-y
• 45:44
  Speaker 10: or whatever.
• 45:44
  Speaker 8: And I'm glad that he didn't, he definitely contributed to
• 45:48
  Speaker 8: the movie.
• 45:49
  Speaker 10: I was pretty impressed, man.
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, pretty impressed.
• 45:51
  Speaker 12: I think the vampires in this thing were not at
• 45:54
  Speaker 12: all romantic.
• 45:55
  Speaker 8: No, no.
• 45:56
  Speaker 10: I would be one of those.
• 45:58
  Speaker 12: They're almost a cross between vampires and zombies.
• 46:01
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, the whole thing felt kind of almost
• 46:03
  Speaker 11: like a zombie. It's kind of the same thing I
• 46:05
  Speaker 11: said about From Dusk Till Dawn. It's like, you can
• 46:07
  Speaker 11: call those vampires, but it's a zombie movie. I mean,
• 46:11
  Speaker 11: it plays like a zombie movie, and that's almost what
• 46:13
  Speaker 11: this was. It was almost like a mixture of... I
• 46:17
  Speaker 11: guess jokingly, to work in, like, it had a very
• 46:19
  Speaker 11: Zombieland feel to it, almost.
• 46:21
  Speaker 9: As a structure.
• 46:22
  Speaker 8: But in real life.
• 46:24
  Speaker 9: And then I was like, the tone is more like, um,
• 46:27
  Speaker 9: it's the one with, uh, shit. Ah, shit, now I've
• 46:32
  Speaker 9: lost it. Trying to think what the other, uh, it'll
• 46:35
  Speaker 9: come to. I didn't write that one down.
• 46:37
  Speaker 8: But see, I'm a big zombie buff.
• 46:39
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 46:39
  Speaker 8: I love zombies.
• 46:40
  Speaker 10: Got zombie line of cakes, zombie stuff all over the place.
• 46:44
  Speaker 10: And I totally saw that connection, and I appreciate it,
• 46:46
  Speaker 10: because it's like, there's no superpower, there's no, like, this, like, elegant, like,
• 46:51
  Speaker 10: supreme being vampire existence. These are really, like, mindless people that,
• 46:56
  Speaker 10: they have, like, this crazy strength and these abilities, obviously,
• 47:00
  Speaker 10: but they're just, like, squealing wild animals.
• 47:02
  Speaker 11: It is closer to, like, a 28 Days Later kind
• 47:04
  Speaker 11: of monster, because.
• 47:05
  Speaker 9: They're just animals.
• 47:07
  Speaker 31: It's a very believable virus, too. I mean, you're sitting
• 47:10
  Speaker 31: back and you're going, yeah, that could happen.
• 47:12
  Speaker 10: You know?
• 47:12
  Speaker 12: That could really happen, not the.
• 47:14
  Speaker 10: you know, blah.
• 47:17
  Speaker 9: Not that that's not fun, too.
• 47:19
  Speaker 10: Oh, yeah, that's good.
• 47:20
  Speaker 8: It all has its place.
• 47:21
  Speaker 9: In a very different movie.
• 47:23
  Speaker 10: This concept of vampire blew me away because it was
• 47:25
  Speaker 10: different and it wasn't, but it was just so unique,
• 47:28
  Speaker 10: you know?
• 47:28
  Speaker 9: It kind of found a good medium.
• 47:31
  Speaker 11: It's like it plays on the basic structure of vampirism,
• 47:34
  Speaker 11: but at the same time it finds a new way
• 47:36
  Speaker 11: to do it, and it doesn't seem like something you've
• 47:38
  Speaker 11: seen a hundred times over. But it doesn't go Twilight
• 47:41
  Speaker 11: and throw the rules out the window. It still feels
• 47:43
  Speaker 11: like it's rooted in the vampire mythos, but it's still
• 47:46
  Speaker 11: sort of, you know, a realistic version, a more animalistic version.
• 47:51
  Speaker 8: And I appreciate that there were no garlic bullets.
• 47:53
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 47:55
  Speaker 12: But it was.
• 47:56
  Speaker 31: It was the worst, if you could think of, the
• 47:59
  Speaker 31: worst traits out of both vampires and zombies that you
• 48:03
  Speaker 31: would not want to face.
• 48:04
  Speaker 8: You know, I mean, you've got the.
• 48:06
  Speaker 31: I don't know, just the fact that they come at
• 48:08
  Speaker 31: you almost mindless like zombies.
• 48:10
  Speaker 27: They're animalistic.
• 48:11
  Speaker 8: I mean, it's just, it's attack.
• 48:12
  Speaker 12: And they hunt.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 48:13
  Speaker 10: They, you know, they hunt you down.
• 48:16
  Speaker 8: They're preying on you.
• 48:17
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 48:18
  Speaker 8: It's pretty creepy.
• 48:19
  Speaker 31: There wasn't any, you know, there's no banter with the vampire. Oh,
• 48:23
  Speaker 31: I'm going to kill you now, but first I'm going
• 48:24
  Speaker 31: to do this and that. They were just, they were scary.
• 48:28
  Speaker 26: Yeah.
• 48:28
  Speaker 10: I love that.
• 48:29
  Speaker 8: There's like, where they have to, they're not safe, you know?
• 48:33
  Speaker 8: It's nighttime, it's nightfall, we have to set up camp.
• 48:35
  Speaker 10: Ever.
• 48:35
  Speaker 8: We have to set up traps, like, so that we
• 48:37
  Speaker 8: can get alerted to this.
• 48:39
  Speaker 10: Exactly. And they kind of expect that they're going to come,
• 48:41
  Speaker 10: and they expect that they have to deal with it.
• 48:43
  Speaker 10: And there's never, like, this safe haven. It's always like,
• 48:46
  Speaker 10: if you can find a building, even then, like, you
• 48:48
  Speaker 10: really have to be ready, because you never know.
• 48:50
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, in The Walking Dead, they kind of
• 48:52
  Speaker 11: had that scenario, too. It felt like those moments in
• 48:55
  Speaker 11: there where it's like, We set up camp, but we're
• 48:57
  Speaker 11: still never really safe. At any given moment, something's going
• 48:59
  Speaker 11: to break in. So, again, it's got that sort of
• 49:01
  Speaker 11: zombie feel to it.
• 49:02
  Speaker 31: Yeah, and it doesn't give you that safe feeling like
• 49:06
  Speaker 31: you were saying with certain movies where you're watching it
• 49:08
  Speaker 31: and you're all tense for.
• 49:09
  Speaker 8: The action, and then there's this, okay, we're safe.
• 49:11
  Speaker 12: Okay, now I can just kind of calm down a
• 49:12
  Speaker 12: little bit.
• 49:14
  Speaker 10: There is no no it seemed like throughout this whole
• 49:16
  Speaker 10: movie they were either getting by like.
• 49:19
  Speaker 8: Just making it or dealing with some really screwed up.
• 49:21
  Speaker 10: Stuff like this horrible reality or not and then they
• 49:24
  Speaker 10: were kind of making it again and then it was
• 49:26
  Speaker 10: this horrible reality again there was no like peaceful time
• 49:29
  Speaker 10: of like let's run through the forest because we found
• 49:31
  Speaker 10: a car and.
• 49:32
  Speaker 11: So there's none of that notes And there's never like
• 49:35
  Speaker 11: a safe haven at all. Like in a lot of those,
• 49:37
  Speaker 11: you end up also getting that like kind of night
• 49:39
  Speaker 11: of the living dead where you wall yourself in and
• 49:41
  Speaker 11: then you've got a place to fight them. Like they never,
• 49:43
  Speaker 11: for more than a scene, stay in one place. They
• 49:46
  Speaker 11: keep moving, which makes it equally like there's no safety
• 49:49
  Speaker 11: to it. They're always back in the car, back on
• 49:51
  Speaker 11: the road, equally as exposed.
• 49:53
  Speaker 10: Because they spend so much time fortifying like a car
• 49:56
  Speaker 10: or a building.
• 49:57
  Speaker 8: Like as night falls. Then they spend the night, but
• 50:00
  Speaker 8: then they leave.
• 50:00
  Speaker 9: And then they turn around and, yeah, and then they
• 50:02
  Speaker 9: start all over the next night.
• 50:03
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's so cool.
• 50:04
  Speaker 10: I mean, that is just, like, exactly what I would
• 50:06
  Speaker 10: picture from, like, post-apocalyptic adaption, survival.
• 50:11
  Speaker 11: That's what, yeah, just the basic stuff, like chain-linking the car,
• 50:14
  Speaker 11: and it's like, that stuff is kind of cool, and
• 50:15
  Speaker 11: it's like, I haven't seen that before.
• 50:17
  Speaker 9: That was kind of interesting.
• 50:18
  Speaker 10: Usually they bolt that, and it's like a battering ram, supercar,
• 50:21
  Speaker 10: and there was none of that. Yeah, there was no.
• 50:24
  Speaker 12: Finding, just happened to find a welder and some torches, and,
• 50:27
  Speaker 12: you know, we're going to make some.
• 50:28
  Speaker 10: it was very much like look I found a safe
• 50:31
  Speaker 10: oh I could sleep in that for the night you
• 50:32
  Speaker 10: know lock myself in get some sleep and then carry
• 50:35
  Speaker 10: on it was pretty cool.
• 50:37
  Speaker 11: Oh I guess some of the other characters um we've
• 50:40
  Speaker 11: got like the the sister it's that again it took
• 50:43
  Speaker 11: me I knew she was in this movie but it
• 50:45
  Speaker 11: took me like a couple of scenes to go wait
• 50:47
  Speaker 11: is that Kelly McGillis.
• 50:48
  Speaker 9: Yeah like that.
• 50:50
  Speaker 11: Was yeah that took me a while like I had
• 50:52
  Speaker 11: not seen her and granted she'd stopped working for many
• 50:54
  Speaker 11: years so it's weird to see her come back she
• 50:57
  Speaker 11: was in I mean, her big movie was, like, Witness
• 51:01
  Speaker 11: and Top Gun. And then, like, after that, she did
• 51:03
  Speaker 11: some straight-to-VHS stuff. And then she kind of just got
• 51:06
  Speaker 11: out of it. And, again, for a while, I think she, like,
• 51:09
  Speaker 11: owned a restaurant with her husband and was just, like,
• 51:11
  Speaker 11: being a normal person. And then, I guess, now it's
• 51:13
  Speaker 11: started coming back into the scene.
• 51:14
  Speaker 10: And then I thought, all right, here comes the big religious, like, angle.
• 51:20
  Speaker 10: And then pleasantly surprised to see how her character developed
• 51:23
  Speaker 10: and what kind of happened with it.
• 51:24
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 51:25
  Speaker 32: Yeah.
• 51:25
  Speaker 10: Not expecting her to just blend into the nightmare.
• 51:28
  Speaker 11: Well, again, talk about, like, not pulling any punches. I mean,
• 51:31
  Speaker 11: let's look at our introduction to her.
• 51:34
  Speaker 10: Yeah, really.
• 51:34
  Speaker 9: Like, that's a horrible, horrible scene. And once again, being
• 51:38
  Speaker 9: put upon with a nun.
• 51:39
  Speaker 11: And I was just like, it's taking all these conventions
• 51:41
  Speaker 11: and just, like, completely destroying them.
• 51:45
  Speaker 8: And it's so cool.
• 51:45
  Speaker 10: It's like, that's the reality. Like, when there's no authority,
• 51:49
  Speaker 10: you know, people revert to being animals. And guess what?
• 51:52
  Speaker 10: If you're in that scenario and you're in that environment...
• 51:56
  Speaker 10: You can.
• 51:56
  Speaker 8: Expect, you know, rape, murder, stealing.
• 52:00
  Speaker 10: The things that people try to ignore and bubble wrap
• 52:03
  Speaker 10: their kids about and not really expose them to, those
• 52:07
  Speaker 10: are realities. They really are.
• 52:08
  Speaker 8: People forget how.
• 52:09
  Speaker 10: Close you are to these realities, even in the safe
• 52:11
  Speaker 10: world that we live in, not necessarily on the set
• 52:13
  Speaker 10: of a movie.
• 52:14
  Speaker 8: And I think that that's what did it for me.
• 52:16
  Speaker 10: This person really didn't, the director really didn't, like, sugarcoat anything,
• 52:22
  Speaker 10: you know?
• 52:23
  Speaker 8: Like, he went into this world and he's like, I'm
• 52:25
  Speaker 8: all in.
• 52:26
  Speaker 10: You know, these are the things that can happen, and
• 52:28
  Speaker 10: let's cover as much effed up stuff as we possibly can.
• 52:31
  Speaker 9: I bet they do.
• 52:34
  Speaker 10: I really connected with the character. I was really sad
• 52:36
  Speaker 10: to see what happened there.
• 52:38
  Speaker 11: With all of them, like even Danielle Harris, I mean,
• 52:41
  Speaker 11: she gets worked in as a pretty sizable role, and
• 52:43
  Speaker 11: this is one of the few times, yeah, she plays
• 52:45
  Speaker 11: like she gets a chance to almost be kind of
• 52:48
  Speaker 11: her age. Like, she's usually being shoved back as a,
• 52:50
  Speaker 11: you know, she's played a high schooler into her 30s now,
• 52:53
  Speaker 11: so it's like, She's kind of playing a normal woman, and.
• 52:56
  Speaker 9: She's kind of dealing with this pregnancy. Yeah, and that's
• 52:58
  Speaker 9: the thing.
• 52:59
  Speaker 12: She's pregnant in this universe.
• 53:00
  Speaker 31: I mean, what worse way can you think of being
• 53:03
  Speaker 31: in this situation than being pregnant, too?
• 53:05
  Speaker 10: That is so cool, because all of a sudden it's
• 53:07
  Speaker 10: like this horrible problem. It's this beautiful thing, but at
• 53:10
  Speaker 10: the same time everyone's thinking, oh, my God, when this
• 53:13
  Speaker 10: baby comes here.
• 53:14
  Speaker 8: What are we going to do? And it's just, there's
• 53:16
  Speaker 8: so many.
• 53:17
  Speaker 10: Layers of, like, problems that it's just, it's amazing, man.
• 53:22
  Speaker 10: Whoever thought this screen could play out in the story
• 53:24
  Speaker 10: was just brilliant.
• 53:25
  Speaker 8: Just brilliant.
• 53:27
  Speaker 9: It never really leaves that either. Those horrible problems just
• 53:31
  Speaker 9: continue from one scene to the next. We get each
• 53:34
  Speaker 9: one of these little jams.
• 53:35
  Speaker 10: They get out of.
• 53:36
  Speaker 9: If they get out of it, most of the time
• 53:37
  Speaker 9: they lose.
• 53:38
  Speaker 12: Someone in the process.
• 53:40
  Speaker 10: Oh my god.
• 53:41
  Speaker 9: That's so hard to deal with.
• 53:42
  Speaker 8: Dropping vampires.
• 53:44
  Speaker 10: From a helicopter into the town safe haven.
• 53:47
  Speaker 12: What a crazy situation.
• 53:50
  Speaker 8: My God. It's at one point.
• 53:51
  Speaker 31: Just like, you know, it's where you think they're actually
• 53:54
  Speaker 31: kind of safe for a little bit.
• 53:55
  Speaker 4: You're like, hey, now we can rest.
• 53:57
  Speaker 10: No time to rest.
• 53:58
  Speaker 11: That one little mention of the back story of them
• 54:01
  Speaker 11: sending a plane full of them into Washington, D.C., was it?
• 54:04
  Speaker 9: And that's how they ended up shutting.
• 54:05
  Speaker 11: Down the government was this terrorist group basically sent a
• 54:08
  Speaker 11: plane full of zombies into the.
• 54:10
  Speaker 14: Capital, huh?
• 54:11
  Speaker 11: It's like, what a world you created in this.
• 54:15
  Speaker 8: Somebody's definitely thinking about this movie for a while.
• 54:18
  Speaker 10: It was well thought out.
• 54:19
  Speaker 8: When I saw the.
• 54:22
  Speaker 10: Vamp bombs, if you will, I thought that was just
• 54:24
  Speaker 10: the most amazing thing.
• 54:25
  Speaker 8: I was thinking the same thing.
• 54:27
  Speaker 27: I'm like, what a bunch of assholes.
• 54:30
  Speaker 10: What an asshole thing to do, man.
• 54:32
  Speaker 8: Just middle of the night, chopper dropping vampires.
• 54:36
  Speaker 9: That's what I was thinking.
• 54:37
  Speaker 11: I was like, You know, this world has fallen apart.
• 54:40
  Speaker 11: Things couldn't get any worse. Oh, wait.
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: Yes, they can.
• 54:43
  Speaker 11: Some asshole just dropped a vampire into our town.
• 54:46
  Speaker 12: Yeah, you didn't talk about who's dropping him.
• 54:49
  Speaker 9: Yeah, go into that guy.
• 54:51
  Speaker 8: The crazy rebel.
• 54:52
  Speaker 10: Yeah. Unbelievable.
• 54:53
  Speaker 8: This is for you, mister.
• 55:00
  Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.
• 55:01
  Speaker 9: We know who you are. You kill them that come back.
• 55:05
  Speaker 8: Them that serve.
• 55:07
  Speaker 33: Us, them that God brought down to do his work.
• 55:11
  Speaker 33: Leaving us to purify the blood of our fathers. And
• 55:16
  Speaker 33: when that day comes, he will bring them back. Peace
• 55:20
  Speaker 33: and purity will reign on the earth forever.
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 55:26
  Speaker 34: Amen.
• 55:30
  Speaker 10: What do you have to say for yourself, sinner?
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: Fuck you and fuck your God.
• 55:44
  Speaker 9: That's the problem.
• 55:44
  Speaker 8: They couldn't go anywhere.
• 55:46
  Speaker 31: It seemed like all the main roads were blocked by
• 55:48
  Speaker 31: this brotherhood of just religious nuts.
• 55:50
  Speaker 10: And that's crazy, man, because you hear the preaching over
• 55:53
  Speaker 10: the radio that they catch, and it's like, we offer
• 55:56
  Speaker 10: safe haven for all of our white brothers and people.
• 55:59
  Speaker 8: And it's just like, wow.
• 56:01
  Speaker 9: Once it sets in, you see who takes over.
• 56:03
  Speaker 10: If the vampires aren't enough, now you've got this to
• 56:05
  Speaker 10: deal with.
• 56:06
  Speaker 8: It's just unbelievable.
• 56:08
  Speaker 12: Easy Aryan backwards cult.
• 56:10
  Speaker 9: And sort of religious, too.
• 56:11
  Speaker 11: It works in that early religious thing with her, and
• 56:14
  Speaker 11: she sort.
• 56:15
  Speaker 9: Of loses her faith, almost.
• 56:17
  Speaker 11: She kind of is the only constant within the religious thing.
• 56:21
  Speaker 11: But then he comes in, and religion almost becomes the
• 56:24
  Speaker 11: villain to it.
• 56:25
  Speaker 9: That is what is destroying it. It's this fanaticism that.
• 56:29
  Speaker 11: He's using to his advantage to take over power at
• 56:33
  Speaker 11: this point.
• 56:33
  Speaker 8: You can see that stuff today.
• 56:35
  Speaker 10: People take advantage of religion all the time for personal gains.
• 56:39
  Speaker 8: And that's kind of like the ultimate, you know? That's
• 56:42
  Speaker 8: one of the reasons why I like Dr. Who so much.
• 56:44
  Speaker 10: Not to get off the subject, but if you think
• 56:45
  Speaker 10: of the Daleks and they're creating this superior race, it
• 56:49
  Speaker 10: kind of relates to fascism and Hitler. And it's like
• 56:52
  Speaker 10: something that exists here in our world, in our time,
• 56:55
  Speaker 10: but it's taken to a complete extreme.
• 56:57
  Speaker 8: And that's how that cult was.
• 56:59
  Speaker 10: It was like they're super, they're way beyond Ned Flanders,
• 57:02
  Speaker 10: super religious and Kind of.
• 57:04
  Speaker 8: Just doing what they want when they want to.
• 57:06
  Speaker 12: But not far from being real. It's not out there.
• 57:10
  Speaker 12: It can't happen.
• 57:11
  Speaker 10: Like a compound of people who decided to take on
• 57:14
  Speaker 10: this religion.
• 57:15
  Speaker 8: Well, they're able to patrol and kind of.
• 57:18
  Speaker 10: take martial law of their area and they did yeah
• 57:21
  Speaker 10: i mean those kind.
• 57:21
  Speaker 11: Of groups are out there right now so you think
• 57:24
  Speaker 11: if everything starts to fall apart if they're the ones
• 57:26
  Speaker 11: that step up they're going to be the ones in power.
• 57:28
  Speaker 10: Oh yeah if it really happened you can imagine texas
• 57:31
  Speaker 10: really be in its own country and how about that
• 57:34
  Speaker 10: they come into a town you know they that sound
• 57:37
  Speaker 10: that they were in the first lockdown is that what
• 57:39
  Speaker 10: they call it yeah and you know they get strip
• 57:41
  Speaker 10: searched and they're like you know get out of the
• 57:42
  Speaker 10: freaking car and all that stuff and bad does that suck?
• 57:45
  Speaker 8: You've got nothing but yourself.
• 57:48
  Speaker 10: You're coming into a town expecting help and you don't
• 57:51
  Speaker 10: know what you're going to get.
• 57:51
  Speaker 11: They operate on their own set of rules.
• 57:54
  Speaker 10: Or the Aryans or the Brotherhood when they stop that
• 57:58
  Speaker 10: one car and they tell the guy to get out
• 58:00
  Speaker 10: of the car and they kill him.
• 58:02
  Speaker 8: I'm sure that guy was like, oh my god, people, civilization,
• 58:04
  Speaker 8: thank god. And for nothing.
• 58:06
  Speaker 9: He didn't even fight them. They said get out and
• 58:08
  Speaker 9: they shot him. It was for nothing.
• 58:11
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 58:12
  Speaker 8: Can you imagine that?
• 58:13
  Speaker 10: You're going through hell. You probably survive at least a
• 58:15
  Speaker 10: little bit of this nightmare. Yeah.
• 58:18
  Speaker 8: You make it to civilization. The first human contact are
• 58:20
  Speaker 8: these crazy nutjobs.
• 58:22
  Speaker 10: And these hooded, like, upside-down cross little outfits of theirs. Crazy.
• 58:26
  Speaker 8: What a horrible, horrible experience.
• 58:29
  Speaker 15: Oh, man.
• 58:30
  Speaker 8: This movie, like, just never stops delivering.
• 58:32
  Speaker 26: Yeah.
• 58:33
  Speaker 9: Just one thing after another. And that's what I was
• 58:34
  Speaker 9: going to get to, I guess. Just, like... Talk about
• 58:37
  Speaker 9: how much... And I get super spoiler alert.
• 58:39
  Speaker 11: But yeah, it's just how many people they take out.
• 58:41
  Speaker 11: I mean, we lose pretty much the entire cast, so...
• 58:45
  Speaker 11: And how much time they spend with them. It's not
• 58:47
  Speaker 11: like it's one of those where they introduce somebody just
• 58:49
  Speaker 11: to kill them off.
• 58:50
  Speaker 6: Oh, no.
• 58:51
  Speaker 9: Because you spend, like, 20 minutes with half the.
• 58:53
  Speaker 11: I mean, every time you meet somebody new, you spend
• 58:55
  Speaker 11: a good amount of time with them, you get to
• 58:56
  Speaker 11: know them, and then they're killed.
• 58:58
  Speaker 8: You're like, doesn't it build up a group?
• 58:59
  Speaker 12: You're like, yeah, okay, they're going to be safe.
• 59:01
  Speaker 8: And they have roles, right?
• 59:02
  Speaker 10: Oh, no, now there's more of them.
• 59:03
  Speaker 8: They should be safer.
• 59:04
  Speaker 9: And that's what.
• 59:05
  Speaker 11: I think is really interesting, is they also have this
• 59:08
  Speaker 11: little makeshift family that they.
• 59:10
  Speaker 9: become.
• 59:10
  Speaker 11: And it really, like, there's even that one moment of
• 59:12
  Speaker 11: kind of reflection there where it's just like, this is,
• 59:15
  Speaker 11: you know, what I lost. This is the family that
• 59:17
  Speaker 11: I lost in the beginning, and now I have this
• 59:19
  Speaker 11: slightly bigger family. And everybody does kind of have that role,
• 59:23
  Speaker 11: and there's dad and mom and sister.
• 59:24
  Speaker 10: I mean, it is.
• 59:26
  Speaker 11: kind of nice but at the same time you know
• 59:29
  Speaker 11: it's not going to go well like when he said
• 59:30
  Speaker 11: that I was just like.
• 59:31
  Speaker 10: Oh shit someone's about to flip a switch on the
• 59:33
  Speaker 10: manure spreader that means.
• 59:35
  Speaker 11: So many of your family are about to die because
• 59:37
  Speaker 11: you can't have happiness in this movie and.
• 59:39
  Speaker 10: I was genuinely sad I couldn't I unfortunately couldn't watch
• 59:43
  Speaker 10: the movie with my wife and she's a big movie
• 59:45
  Speaker 10: buff with me and I was she said how was
• 59:49
  Speaker 10: it and I said oh my god not only was
• 59:51
  Speaker 10: it so good it was incredibly sad it was just
• 59:54
  Speaker 10: so well like put together like i connected with these
• 59:58
  Speaker 10: characters i like them and started dying left and right
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 10: and not just kind of like you know you know
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 10: oh they got me kind of way it's usually like
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 10: oh my god that's so terrible like.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 11: Ruins the i mean as horrible as the tone already
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 11: is you're just like oh it just took it down
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 11: a level it's like that's right i'm old and i
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 11: can't run as far as you can so i'm just
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 11: gonna stop just gonna kill myself yep jesus christ it's
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 11: terrible Or by the time they're, like, setting traps and, like,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 11: killing off your family just to mess with you, you know.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 9: By the end, it's just, oh, God, it's depressing.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 8: It is so bad. It is so bad.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 10: But so good.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 11: So that was, I mean, that was going to be my,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 11: if I had any sort of complaint about it, I guess, is, like,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 11: I think it would almost be way too dark and
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 11: depressing for some people. I mean, you've got to know
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 11: what you're getting yourself.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 9: Into in this movie.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 4: It's a gritty, gritty film.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 9: Because that was, I mean, that was Missy's take on it.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 11: She didn't like it and it was because it was just,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 11: the tone of it is so depressing and so horrific,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 11: you know?
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 12: It's close to reality.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 11: And that was, that was by the end of it.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 11: I was like, I love everything that's going on. I
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 11: think it's really well put together. And I got to
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 11: the end and I was like, I kind of want
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 11: to go kill myself.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 8: You know, it's kind of like reading an H.P. Lovecraft
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 8: story where you, you.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 10: It's not so much like a good guy, bad guy,
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 10: or there's no obvious monster. It's kind of just dealing
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 10: with the reality of bad things happening and you having
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 10: no control over them happening. And you're just doing the
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 10: best you can to deal with them. Usually the hero
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 10: in a story for Lovecraft ends up losing his mind
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 10: at the end.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 8: There's no happy ending. And that's how I felt with
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 8: this movie.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 11: How could you not in this world? I mean, thinking
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 11: about that, like the fact that how long has Mr.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 11: been doing this and how long is the kid going
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 11: to be doing this? I'm like, how could you be sane?
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 11: in a world like this, where everything is anarchy, and
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 11: everyone you love is constantly being killed on a daily basis.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 8: If you're looking for a.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 10: Happy ending, or you're very lighthearted in your love of
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 10: horror movies.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 8: Do not see this movie.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 9: Do not watch it. This is not a fun movie
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 9: for you. It would make you cry. It's a hard watch.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 10: That would make me cry.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 8: And I'm a grown man, that's not it.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 9: No, it's a hard watch. So that was kind of
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 9: my thing.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 11: But I think, especially in talking about it here, I
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 11: think it is one of those that also you kind
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 11: of gain a little respect for it the longer because
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 11: when I first turned off I was like god that
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 11: was depressing and I wasn't even sure how much I
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 11: liked it and like by the next day I was
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 11: like oh that was really well done and the more
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 11: I thought about it afterwards I was like it was
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 11: kind of amazing like what the world that they build
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 11: and what they put together and the performances so yeah
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 11: it's like with a little time I've even like grown
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 11: to respect it a little more as a movie but
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 11: it's a hard watch I watched.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 10: It maybe 12 hours ago you know and in those
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 10: 12 hours I've gone from wow, that was really dark.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 8: It was just so twisted. It was disturbing. To recommending
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 8: it to my wife.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 10: And then now I'm sitting here working today and before
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 10: we started this, I'm recommending it to everyone. It's a
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 10: must see. I'll buy it for you so you can
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 10: watch it. You have to see this movie. You have
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 10: to witness the greatness. So yeah, as the time went by,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 10: I realized how many things were made well and how
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 10: much I really appreciated how well the things were made.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 10: The storyline is amazing. The scenes are spectacular. The effects
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 10: are great.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 8: They're good enough. You know, except for the whole, like, slobbering.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 10: Blood type of kind of messy thing.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 11: I think for as limited a budget as they were,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 11: you can hardly tell. Like, I mean, to me, it
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 11: looks like a pretty well-financed movie. And there's moments where
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 11: I'm like, okay, they're dealing with budget limitations.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 10: I noticed at the beginning there was a credit to
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 10: Belladonna Productions.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 8: I wonder if that's Belladonna the porn star. She has
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 8: a production company.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 9: You take your money wherever you can get it.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 10: That's right, man. But you know, another thing I loved
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 10: about this, which is something that really caught my attention
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 10: with the old Doctor Who, is the creepy music. The
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 10: score for this is outstanding. The music is just like
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 10: right on the moment for moods.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 8: There's enough of it. There's not too much. There's not
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 8: too little.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 10: I love it when music fits the movie. I think
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 10: all of it was custom made. It was like a
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 10: custom tailored suit for this movie. There was no cheesy...
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 10: Rock and roll moments or anything like that. No power ballads.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 10: No power ballads.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 8: There was a lot of creepy, like, just really cool.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 9: Just sort of mood setting, yeah.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 10: And it was just awesome. I loved it.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 11: Very cool. Well, I remembered my other end of the
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 11: spectrum there when I was trying to, I came up with,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 11: as I was watching, I was like, okay, it's kind
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 11: of like a Zombieland setup with the tone of the road,
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 11: which I don't know if you've seen the road, but it's,
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 11: horribly depressing, it's just a father and son walking around
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 11: this wasteland of, you know, the world has been destroyed,
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 11: everyone's trying to kill you, there's people cannibalizing each other,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 11: so it is one of those, if you're familiar with
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 11: The Road, it's that kind of tone, only done in
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 11: more of an action, I mean, The Road is pretty slow-paced,
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 11: and there's no vampires, it's just people kind of, you know,
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 11: killing each other, whereas this has a lot more set
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 11: pieces of action, and it's a lot more faster-paced, well,
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 11: not even faster-paced, but There's more action worked into it.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 11: It's more of a quicker-moving plot line, but the tone
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 11: of it is equally as depressing as the road.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 8: Yeah, the plot is not constipated. It is just constant.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 10: The story unfolds at a very good pace, and there's
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 10: just the right amount of action.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 11: In fact, sometimes you don't even get breathing room. You're
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 11: just like, no, they just went to sleep. How can
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 11: more stuff be starting?
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 8: My wife saw The Road, and she recommended it.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it's good.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 10: And she caught a vaccine one night, and it's on
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 10: my to-do list. I have a very big pile of
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 10: some movies that I had to buy. that certain friends
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 10: recommend or I saw in the previous work that.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 8: Are still shrink-wrapped.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I used to have that myself.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 10: And video games, too.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 9: There's a list so long that I'm still trying to
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 9: get to.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 8: The road is on there. I've heard good things about it.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 9: I mean, it's good, but it's that same thing. It's depressing.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 11: And from what I hear, people with kids have a problem.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 11: Because it's a father and son dealing with this. So
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 11: it's a lot of parenthood issues, too.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 8: Hey, man, it's like Finding Nemo. I'm looking forward to
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 8: watching that with my son.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 10: It's an uplifting movie.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 6: Uplifting.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 8: Father and son, take another world. Let's do it.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 6: Damn Brotherhood shit-kickers.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: Ten dead.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 8: We've got things under control now.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 10: We'll have this place up and running in no time.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 10: You sure you want to stick around for a while?
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 8: We could use a couple of good men.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 10: No.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 3: We're in the north. Stick to the back roads.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: They're the only way out of here.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: Brotherhood's a rest.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 11: So I think that's most of my take. Any final
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 11: words you guys have for Stakeland?
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 9: That was the ending. I think we covered it pretty well.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 8: This movie's just done so well.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 10: I can't begin to explain how much I appreciate how
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 10: well it was made.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 8: And I very.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 10: Rarely recommend movies, and I think this movie gets one
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 10: of the highest recommendations. I can't remember the last movie
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 10: I saw that I felt this strongly about.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 8: And I can't believe you.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 10: I can't believe that it's from a year ago.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 9: A lot of people haven't seen it. And nobody's heard
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 9: about it.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 10: I thought it was one of the last minute Louies here.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: No.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 8: And I was just.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 10: I can't believe this movie didn't shatter the movie scene
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 10: and make this giant impact where it was banned or something.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 12: Maybe that's why.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 31: Because it didn't fall into the Hollywood categories.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 6: I think so.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 12: And they just kind of like, you know what, they
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 12: pushed it off. They're like, we don't want to promote
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 12: this because... First of all, it's got killing babies in it.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 9: It's depressing. Who are we marketing it to?
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it's too depressing. It was definitely made for people
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 10: in the genre. For the super fans.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 9: That's the only ones that know about it now. The
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 9: same people that go to horror conventions.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 10: The same people that go to gaming conventions or whatever.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 10: That's what it was made for. There was no BS
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 10: in it.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 11: I mean, that's the first time I heard about it
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 11: was at a horror convention. The only reason I then
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 11: found out it was out was from fans of the,
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 11: you know, the Movie Geek Underground, the shows and the
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 11: internet websites.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 15: And I mean.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 11: It's that kind of group of people is what is,
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 11: you know, kind of finding these movies and enjoying these movies.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 9: So it's good that they're still making them.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 11: Sometimes I'm amazed that they even get funding to do
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 11: stuff that looks this good and is this well-made when
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 11: there's nobody out there, like, throwing a lot of money
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 11: at them.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 9: It's a shame sometimes.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 10: I can't wait to see the next project of this
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 10: director and writer.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 9: I kind of want to see where he goes.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 8: He's definitely a staple in my collection.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 9: Very good.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 8: I can't wait to watch it with my five-year-old son.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 4: Hey, kid, sit down.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 8: Let me show you something. This is a good movie here.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 8: This is going to be great.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 10: This is what to do in case of an apocalypse.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 10: The training manual.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 9: Turn off that Disney for a minute. I want to
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 9: show you something.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 10: Well, I have a hard time with that now with
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 10: my kids. I love that my son is into Boomerang
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 10: and all the old cartoons. He's into Doctor Who and
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 10: a lot of cool things with me. But lately, you
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 10: just can't fight the influence. The arm of Disney just
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 10: cuts through. All of a sudden, he's into Kidz Bop
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 10: because of commercials and stuff.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 6: Oh, God.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 8: And I don't mind a lot of Disney Pixar stuff.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 10: We watch most of.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 9: The Pixar things. Pixar's a different category, yeah.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 10: But the Disney, their channel, the shows with the sarcastic teenagers. Oh,
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 10: my God.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 8: My daughter's in iCarly.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 6: Oh, iCarly.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 9: I can't say anything. I watch those shows.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 12: He watches them, though.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 31: I mean I sat down and watched Wizards of Waverly
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 31: or something I like that show that stuff comes on
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 31: it came on we all like that and I'm.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 10: Like oh crap let me find Spongebob or something for
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 10: you and my son's like no that's Wizards of Waverly
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 10: I want to watch that and I'm like what did
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 10: you say to me boy take that back he.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 9: Likes Selena Gomez she's cute come on he's got a
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 9: crush on her you know he does Probably. He's only six.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 9: I remember setting in pretty early for me. You know,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 9: slow down.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 10: He just started using his pockets like a year ago,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 10: and I'm still not over it. We're at the grocery store,
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 10: and he's like, hey, can I have something from those
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 10: quarter vending machines? I'm like, oh, you know what, sorry, son,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 10: I have no coins. He's like, oh, it's okay, I
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 10: have some.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 14: Wait a minute.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 8: He's just in his pocket.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 10: I'm like, oh, my God. At the same time, I'm
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 10: having this moment with my son because he's.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 8: Like, going in his pocket.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 10: He's using his pocket in his pants. I didn't realize
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 10: they were real pockets. Then he pulls out a handful
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 10: of change. First, I'm thinking, where the hell did you
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 10: get that? Second time, I'm like, oh, it's my boy.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 10: Little pockets.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 9: Then he pulls out his driver's license.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 10: Yeah, right?
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 8: I need to borrow the car.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: What?
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 27: Gotta go, Dad.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 8: I was changing your diaper yesterday.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 10: What the heck's up with that?
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 6: Damn it.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 8: But no, I let the kids watch a lot of
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 8: the stuff. Not too far. He accidentally watched Hall-Raiser.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 10: And he loved it.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 8: He wasn't creeped out by it. The first Hellraisers.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 9: That's the good, yeah. Once you get past three, it's
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 9: all downhill. So just stop them about two.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 12: I think Misty and I went on the quest for
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 12: Hellraiser and watched.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 14: All of them.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 9: Oh, you poor bastards.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 10: I've only seen like the first couple. I remember watching
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 10: the third, half of the third one or something.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 8: The one with the CDs.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 8: That's the one I couldn't finish watching. It's when it
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 8: gets silly.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 9: We went all the way up to it.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 12: Did it get good again though?
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 9: Oh no, it didn't.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 12: No, it just went downhill from there.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 10: What was it?
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 12: Listen, what was the highest Hellraiser we watched? Was it
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 12: like Hellraiser 8?
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 10: Oh my gosh.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 9: It's 8 or 9 or something.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 10: It's 8 or 9.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 9: It's ridiculous how many they went.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 12: It just got... I don't know where it went.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 10: Yeah, my wife just thought all that stuff was nerdy,
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 10: but she definitely got into.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 8: Firefly with me.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 6: Dr.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 8: Who now.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 27: Torchwood.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 10: The new Torchwood's really good. If you haven't seen it
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 10: on Starz, way better than the first couple seasons. But
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 10: I watched Jordan Carpenter's The Thing with my son.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 6: Oh, God.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 10: I love that movie.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 8: For me, even as an adult, that movie still.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 10: creeps me out and still scares me it's really hard
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 10: to watch at two in the morning when everyone else
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 10: is asleep then he.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 11: Watched it he loved it it still holds up i
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 11: mean even the special effects i mean some of those
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 11: practical effects are how many years old and it's 81
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 11: or something i'm just like it looks as good as
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 11: anything you could do today in fact it's better because
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 11: now they would.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 9: Just do cgi so.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 10: It's yeah it's amazing i miss the old like claymation
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 10: stuff yeah You know, actually putting someone in a suit thing, like,
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 10: that's so underrated.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it's going to be gone now.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 8: It's like, oh, no, CGI is the way to go.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 10: No, it isn't.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 11: It's the guys in suits works. I mean, you feel
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 11: their presence in the room. You don't get from.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 10: A blue screen.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 8: You don't get a mask.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 31: Even my daughter, she'll take old Godzilla over. CGI Godzilla.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 31: She doesn't like the new Godzilla movies.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 9: Just like the old Japanese ones or the bad American ones?
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 12: She doesn't like the bad American ones. She loves the
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 12: old 60s Godzilla.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 9: Don't we all?
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 10: That's where my love of.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 8: This is where my environmentalism came from.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 10: It's from watching Spectre Man.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 8: Spectre Man?
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I grew up on it too. If you go
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 10: back and watch him, every episode is anti-pollution. the group
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 10: that they're in they're like a pollution like policing group
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 10: and everything every bad guy like every monster that Dr.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 10: Glory brings out usually gets involved with toxic waste somehow
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 10: and that's how they grow up and I was like
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 10: wow all these subliminal things just got like programmed into
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 10: my brain and that's where.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 24: It all came from isn't that the one too because
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 24: he can't stay he can't fight him for very long
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 24: right because of the atmosphere no or is that Ultraman
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 24: I'm getting Ultraman mixed up too it's funny he used
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 24: to have to ask permission to become Spectreman You have
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 24: to talk to this guy knows that to cheeseburgers And
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 24: he would say oh, you know this monsters attacking such-and-such
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 24: permission to turn the super-spec command They're like no you
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 24: cannot turn in the spec command just yet.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 10: You know you have to go and Investigate this and
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 10: find out further and he's like but no my friends
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 10: are in trouble No, we are we're in charge.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 8: So he'd be really frustrated. That was pretty cool. And
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 8: then finally at the end, he's like, all right, come on,
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 8: everyone's dying.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 10: And they're like, okay. And they shoot the raid out,
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 10: and he turns into Spectre Man.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 9: Very duty-oriented.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 8: You have to follow protocol. That's right.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 10: He's like, no, but I'm righteous.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 8: I'm like, no. It was amazing.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 10: And it's funny, I played that for my son, and
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 10: he loved it for like a second.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 9: And then the novelty wore off.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 8: He was like, no, put on the other stuff.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 10: So I could see the CGI appealing to kids and
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 10: the younger crowd for sure, but Man, there's just no
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 10: substitute for seeing the zipper in the rubber suit.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 11: The less they grew up with it, yeah, there's an
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 11: appreciation that I don't know that kids get. I kind
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 11: of want to instill them. So, yeah, it's cool that
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 11: your daughter is liking that better.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 12: We sat down and watched Jason and the Argonauts. We
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 12: watched everything. Everything was old.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 10: We try to watch.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 31: It had become kind of a Saturday morning thing just
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 31: to try to get her into Saturday morning.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 9: See, you don't have that anymore.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 8: You don't have that and you can't duplicate it.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 10: And I was just having a conversation with a friend
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 10: of mine maybe a week or two ago about that.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 10: And I think that the atmosphere that's missing is like
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 10: the fact that your parents weren't at work, they were
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 10: at home. You weren't at school, you were at home.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 10: Because they're at home, there's music playing in the kitchen
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 10: because my mom's doing something. And there's like a whole
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 10: giant atmosphere that's missing from the Saturday morning cartoon. Because
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 10: it's not the same as saying, all right, I'm going
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 10: to wake up Sunday morning and watch Crash Box with
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 10: my son on HBO. It's kind of cool, but it's
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 10: not the same.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 11: Well, it's also, everything is available now. Like, when we
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 11: were kids, you couldn't just go, like, you had to
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 11: wait until Saturday morning and sit down and watch a cartoon.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 11: There was no, I missed it, I want to go
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 11: back and watch it. There was no, I want to
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 11: watch it right now.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 9: And it's Thursday night.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 3: Also, you have to go pee.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 9: Yeah, there's no, kids can't even comprehend that now. Like, well,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 9: why wouldn't you just go on YouTube and watch it,
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 9: you know? It's like, there's no way for kids to understand.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 9: You couldn't get to them. I mean, stuff was out
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 9: of print or never available. It's like, If you.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 31: Weren't there watching it, then you missed it.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 12: And all your friends talked about it.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 8: I still appreciate that.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 10: I'm watching Doctor Who, and I'm talking about an episode
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 10: every Friday night with someone who used to work here,
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 10: and I'm.
• 1:15:15

• 1:19:07
  Speaker 4: Show Alright, so we're back in the car. We're heading
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 4: back home. We've gotten loaded up on coffee now. Made
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 4: a few more stops.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 9: I think we're done with our weekend outing to Chicago.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 4: We did have some feedback. I didn't know I was
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 4: going to pass this along this day. I thought this
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 4: was fun.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 10: Okay, here it was.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 35: Because it was sort of celebrity feedback. After one of
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 35: our little quotes from a couple weeks back.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 11: While we were at Fright Night, I took I remembered
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 11: we made our Arsonite comment about Wings, and.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 30: One of the other show hosts says they follow Steven Weber,
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 30: and says he's actually pretty cool, and puts out interesting tweets,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 30: and has a pretty good sense of humor.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 4: So I went ahead and sent.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 30: Him the quote that we had.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 35: Which was basically, what I said was one of the
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 35: funnier comments of the show, was I have no respect
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 35: for anybody that was ever on.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 11: Wings, which I think you get credit for that, Steve. So,
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 11: and then we were just kind of like, eh, we
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 11: were just kidding. We were mostly knocking on the kid
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 11: from the shiny.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 4: Which is, for good reason.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 35: So, he actually messaged us back.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 11: He said, first of all, he said, I am certainly
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 11: incentivized to get that respect.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 4: Which means, you know, kind of a smartass. I like
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 4: that already. And followed it with, it's all good and
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 4: not entirely wrong.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 35: So, I like that it's self-deprecating. I kind of like
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 35: this guy. So, Moral of the story is, Stephen Webber,
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 35: kind of cool.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 4: Otherwise, I think that about wraps it up. So, did
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 4: you have fun?
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 16: I did have fun, yes.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 4: It was quite an interesting trip. Alright, well, we will
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 4: be back for more adventures in the future. Otherwise, that
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 4: about does it. We will return next week. Same geek time,
