- 0:43Speaker 1: Candy Man, candy Man, candy Man, candy Man, candy Man.
- 0:48Speaker 1: I'm kidding.
- 0:50Speaker 2: So we're here to talk about Saul again.
- 0:53Speaker 1: Did didn't too? Yeah? No, in the case you haven't wondered,
- 0:58Speaker 1: we are talking about candy Man today and I didn't
- 1:00Speaker 1: change the thing. But that's okay, silly but silly goose
- 1:03Speaker 1: over here. Yeah, we figured it'd be fun to do that,
- 1:06Speaker 1: maybe a candy mail show, even though we're not in
- 1:08Speaker 1: front of a mirror, but he'll show.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Up and say what's goingsides? Maybe it could have been
- 1:13Speaker 2: a thing.
- 1:14Speaker 1: I mean, it is reflective. I'll keep an eye out exactly.
- 1:18Speaker 1: We were talking about the nineteen ninety two one, but
- 1:21Speaker 1: I am sure the remake will come up at some point.
- 1:24Speaker 1: It's only it's only human nature to talk about the
- 1:28Speaker 1: remake since we're talking about this one. But that is
- 1:32Speaker 1: the topic for the day. It is still slash Tober
- 1:36Speaker 1: and we are doing all Scream Factory releases this month.
- 1:41Speaker 1: So I just watched the new four K release of
- 1:45Speaker 1: this and it was pretty It was interesting. It was
- 1:48Speaker 1: obviously very well done, because I mean, I shout Factory
- 1:50Speaker 1: as yet to disappoint me with the four K. Really
- 1:53Speaker 1: at least that I've watched. I don't know, I haven't
- 1:54Speaker 1: seen every single one of them, but for the most part,
- 1:56Speaker 1: you know, we're talking like four to like, you know,
- 1:59Speaker 1: four and a half to five out of five, like
- 2:01Speaker 1: great stuff, but like some of it, I don't know,
- 2:03Speaker 1: some of the scenes were kind of really graining and
- 2:07Speaker 1: then some are like really clear. I don't have the.
- 2:09Speaker 2: Same on the Sea, so I have the Blue Ray,
- 2:11Speaker 2: so it's cool to talk about this real quick. But okay,
- 2:14Speaker 2: it was the same with the Blue ray, the Shouts
- 2:16Speaker 2: Blue Ray obviously the release they did before the four K, right,
- 2:19Speaker 2: some set for Granny, some were not. So it just
- 2:21Speaker 2: happened to be, you know, just with their film, I
- 2:26Speaker 2: mean the on on Blue Rady a Calm. The four
- 2:30Speaker 2: K only got like an extra like three points higher
- 2:32Speaker 2: than okay, well for a picture like a like a
- 2:35Speaker 2: I think it was like a four to three for
- 2:36Speaker 2: the Blue Rin, like a four four or five or
- 2:38Speaker 2: four six for the four K for for a picture,
- 2:40Speaker 2: so like the picture probably is the samble it, except
- 2:43Speaker 2: you know, some more defining blacks and stuff on the
- 2:46Speaker 2: four K.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not kidding. I Uh, there's one scene when
- 2:49Speaker 1: she goes into the medicine cabinet for the first time,
- 2:53Speaker 1: she's looking around. That's when I hit the details and
- 2:55Speaker 1: it was like eighty nine ninety three and then it
- 2:57Speaker 1: spiked all the way up to one hundred and twelve
- 2:59Speaker 1: megabytes and I was like, oh. I was like, that's
- 3:01Speaker 1: some good ship. So the black levels looked great, the
- 3:04Speaker 1: movie looked really good. And also I didn't even realize this,
- 3:06Speaker 1: but it does. Haven't. This hasn't at most track. I
- 3:09Speaker 1: didn't realize that.
- 3:10Speaker 2: What did you watch it on?
- 3:12Speaker 1: Well, I mean, since mine's not for latmost. It was
- 3:14Speaker 1: the d T A d T s H D seven one,
- 3:17Speaker 1: so it just downscaled from atmost to seven to one.
- 3:20Speaker 1: But it still sounded great. Yeah, like that was definitely
- 3:23Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't even realize that until I hit
- 3:25Speaker 1: the details. I was like, oh shit, I didn't realize
- 3:27Speaker 1: this was an atmost So that was really cool. But
- 3:29Speaker 1: they also have the five to one mono and stereo,
- 3:32Speaker 1: so they have a few options there. And then of
- 3:34Speaker 1: course they have the four K, which is interesting that
- 3:38Speaker 1: they fit both cuts onto this one. But then they
- 3:41Speaker 1: gave me two blu rays, one for the maybe one
- 3:45Speaker 1: has special features and shipped on it too, I guess.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Well. Also, the four K can hold more like the
- 3:50Speaker 2: disc For four K discs, it ranges. It could range
- 3:54Speaker 2: from sixty six to one hundred gigabytes versus versus Blu
- 3:57Speaker 2: rays are fifty. Okay, So so that's so there's more
- 4:00Speaker 2: room on There's more room on a four K disc
- 4:05Speaker 2: for that reason.
- 4:06Speaker 1: Yeah, and I do know. Okay, so there's definitely some
- 4:09Speaker 1: scratches on the back of this. Yeah, because my Blu
- 4:10Speaker 1: ray or my four K excuse me, started like it
- 4:14Speaker 1: started skipping where it literally the the it would pause
- 4:17Speaker 1: on a frame, the audio would cut out and it
- 4:19Speaker 1: would just freeze, and then it would jump like ahead
- 4:21Speaker 1: a couple of seconds. I thought it was just one time,
- 4:23Speaker 1: and then it happened like five or six or seven
- 4:25Speaker 1: more times, and I was like, that's annoying as fuck.
- 4:27Speaker 1: So I need to be like, hey, show Factory, I
- 4:29Speaker 1: don't know if you have an issue. I asked the
- 4:31Speaker 1: group on Facebook. No one said anything yet, but I
- 4:33Speaker 1: was like, has anybody else had this problem?
- 4:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't noticed anybody mentioned that.
- 4:37Speaker 1: Lucky me, looky me good. There's always good to be
- 4:40Speaker 1: one guy. So yeah, great job, Screen Factory. I really
- 4:44Speaker 1: like the original art too. On this one, it's just
- 4:46Speaker 1: got the white cover with the I and the be.
- 4:48Speaker 1: I think it looks really good. Typically, I'm not a
- 4:50Speaker 1: fan of the original art. I like the commission work
- 4:53Speaker 1: they do, but they have really been doing a great
- 4:56Speaker 1: job with these. I think, I really, I really enjoy them.
- 4:59Speaker 1: There's no reverse sorry though, on the little paper insert,
- 5:02Speaker 1: which I find interesting. I mean, what are you gonna do.
- 5:06Speaker 2: The Blu rays it so you'll be fine?
- 5:07Speaker 1: I know, yeah, I know they've got and I've got
- 5:09Speaker 1: I've got the alt slip for the I know, I've
- 5:11Speaker 1: got three fucking candy Man's, I've got the four K,
- 5:13Speaker 1: I've got two Blue rays because there's an alternate slip,
- 5:15Speaker 1: and I didn't want to put a can't like, I
- 5:17Speaker 1: didn't want to put a just empty Blu ray case
- 5:19Speaker 1: in the alt slip, so I bought a I'm fucking
- 5:21Speaker 1: weird about way too many spare copies of movies. So yeah,
- 5:25Speaker 1: we're gonna get into that in a little bit. Well,
- 5:27Speaker 1: we've got some new releases to talk about. I've got
- 5:30Speaker 1: some movies that came in the mail that I want
- 5:32Speaker 1: to share, and I'm sure other things will happen it's
- 5:35Speaker 1: me and you. Halloween Kills is coming out this week,
- 5:38Speaker 1: just so everyone knows. By the time this is posted,
- 5:41Speaker 1: it will have been released. I can only hope. I'm
- 5:44Speaker 1: just praying. I'm just I want a three star movie.
- 5:48Speaker 1: That's all I want. That's all I'm asking for, which
- 5:50Speaker 1: is not much to ask. Just give me a three
- 5:52Speaker 1: star movie, that's all I want. Just make it better
- 5:55Speaker 1: than Kills. I know it's not gonna be as good
- 5:59Speaker 1: as like, so I don't think it's gonna be better
- 6:01Speaker 1: than we do.
- 6:03Speaker 2: I know, because we thought Kills was gonna be great,
- 6:07Speaker 2: So you know.
- 6:08Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just so hesitant to go into.
- 6:11Speaker 2: This walking in and sitting down, and that is all.
- 6:14Speaker 1: I'm just happy it's in Dolby. I'm fine with that.
- 6:16Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna be fun. But uh, that's something
- 6:18Speaker 1: that's gonna come out of this week. Obviously, we're gonna
- 6:20Speaker 1: keep you posts. We're going to see it Saturday to
- 6:23Speaker 1: avoid spoilers and to catch it in Dolby, that glorious,
- 6:26Speaker 1: glorious Dolby with those recliners. And I showed you this
- 6:29Speaker 1: seating today. I was like, fuck, are all the people?
- 6:31Speaker 2: Yeah, even on Friday. Uh, the seven o'clock in Dolby
- 6:34Speaker 2: is pretty full. But other than that, between the Imax
- 6:38Speaker 2: Dolby and regular, no one's seeing this in theaters.
- 6:40Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, because it's going straight to peak a day,
- 6:43Speaker 1: I think they should at least give it like a
- 6:44Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Man, I know they. I saw Jamie
- 6:47Speaker 1: Lee she had this thing on TikToker somewhere where she said,
- 6:50Speaker 1: we're doing the same thing with Ends that we do
- 6:52Speaker 1: with Kills. It's gonna, you know, because you guys liked
- 6:54Speaker 1: it so much, it's gonna go straight to streaming and
- 6:56Speaker 1: the theaters. And I'm like, I didn't make more money.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Well it Unfortunately, Kills did better streaming than it did theatrically.
- 7:04Speaker 1: Yeah, so well, I mean that is pretty cool, like
- 7:07Speaker 1: that stuff goes straight to streaming.
- 7:09Speaker 2: But like with horror films, just no matter how your
- 7:12Speaker 2: surround sound is or how big your TV is, I
- 7:14Speaker 2: feel like with specific films, basically anything that aren't comedies,
- 7:19Speaker 2: even dramas, I feel like should be witnessed on the
- 7:22Speaker 2: big screen.
- 7:22Speaker 1: Yeah. I'll see every horror movie I possibly can on
- 7:25Speaker 1: the big screen, every like big sci fi movie. I
- 7:29Speaker 1: just would rather have the theatrical experience, not that I
- 7:31Speaker 1: don't like sitting. Like, there was a couple of movies
- 7:33Speaker 1: like Orphan First Kill, we were like, whatever, well, we'll
- 7:35Speaker 1: just like I was kind of iffy about the movie anyways,
- 7:38Speaker 1: because I was like, there's no way they can top
- 7:40Speaker 1: what they did, and they came really close to it, honestly.
- 7:43Speaker 1: But that's kind of one I regretted not seeing in
- 7:44Speaker 1: theaters just because I underestimated it. But there's sometimes where
- 7:47Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, let's just see this.
- 7:48Speaker 2: One fire star. Yeah, because because then I could have
- 7:53Speaker 2: just like not finished it and not feel bad because if.
- 7:57Speaker 1: I could have walked out, I could have you're.
- 7:59Speaker 2: One hundred percent, but I'm like, I did spend like,
- 8:01Speaker 2: you know, twenty five dollars on food at least that.
- 8:05Speaker 1: Whole stayed for the food, came for the movie, stayed
- 8:07Speaker 1: for the food.
- 8:08Speaker 2: In that case, yes, And but then again, you know,
- 8:11Speaker 2: like I mean, it was to me, it was worse
- 8:14Speaker 2: than Halloween Kills and I and we almost walked out
- 8:16Speaker 2: of that.
- 8:16Speaker 1: So I gave Firestarter a one star.
- 8:19Speaker 2: I gave it one point five.
- 8:20Speaker 1: Yeah, So yeah, it was awful. That's one that I remember,
- 8:25Speaker 1: probably the.
- 8:25Speaker 2: Worst film just just in general of the year, and
- 8:28Speaker 2: I've seen some I've seen some pretty shitty films this year,
- 8:31Speaker 2: and that one Takes that was worse than Morbius.
- 8:34Speaker 1: I think that's my lowest rated movie of the year.
- 8:37Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. I don't think I've rated anything lower
- 8:40Speaker 1: than a one this year.
- 8:42Speaker 2: I was gonna say Cloud Nato was like what half star?
- 8:45Speaker 1: That was a half star? That was That was a
- 8:47Speaker 1: very very generous half star. If you could give a
- 8:51Speaker 1: movie zero stars, that one would have gotten. Here's no
- 8:54Speaker 1: offense to anybody, and part of that movie not for me.
- 8:57Speaker 2: You know. That's funny seen people just rated with hearts.
- 9:01Speaker 1: I mean you can, you can log movies and not
- 9:03Speaker 1: rate them, but like, doesn't I don't want to give
- 9:06Speaker 1: that a heart? Yeah no, no, no, yeah. So yeah,
- 9:14Speaker 1: I don't think I've rated anything lower than that. That
- 9:16Speaker 1: fire Starter, which shockingly will not be on any part
- 9:19Speaker 1: of the year end of review except for how much we.
- 9:22Speaker 2: Hated it, unless you do, like a bottom ten.
- 9:24Speaker 1: I probably will. That was going to be number one.
- 9:27Speaker 2: I think I have ten.
- 9:29Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I have ten. Bottom movie. Well, I'm
- 9:32Speaker 1: so okay. Speaking of that, let's go into let's go into.
- 9:34Speaker 2: That just because I've watched a lot of straight the
- 9:37Speaker 2: v o D like shark movies this year and none
- 9:39Speaker 2: of them have been great.
- 9:40Speaker 1: Been great. I've seen forty three new releases this year
- 9:44Speaker 1: for horror movies. So I have a top ten and
- 9:47Speaker 1: honorable mention, and then I could do a bottom ten
- 9:49Speaker 1: if I really wanted to, because there's definitely been some
- 9:53Speaker 1: stingers this year. Yeah, I just don't like doing that,
- 9:56Speaker 1: Like I don't like doing a shitty like I we
- 9:58Speaker 1: try to, like I try to just talk about movies
- 10:01Speaker 1: that are good and try not to shoot on too
- 10:02Speaker 1: many movies, but I think I might have to this
- 10:05Speaker 1: year just so people know what to stay away from
- 10:07Speaker 1: if they haven't watched yet. But on the on the
- 10:10Speaker 1: other hand, there have been so many good movies this year.
- 10:12Speaker 2: I think there's been more good movies horror movies this
- 10:14Speaker 2: year than last year.
- 10:15Speaker 1: Okay, I have multiple five stars, and every everything in
- 10:19Speaker 1: my top ten is four and a half or five.
- 10:21Speaker 1: I usually only have one five star movie.
- 10:23Speaker 2: A year as of last time I checked, which was
- 10:26Speaker 2: like two weeks ago.
- 10:27Speaker 1: Same. Yeah, so this might.
- 10:29Speaker 2: Have like one that's like three and a half, but
- 10:31Speaker 2: it might it might be like that might be like
- 10:32Speaker 2: eleven and like no cutoff.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Yeah, this is still and we still have three.
- 10:36Speaker 2: Months to two and a half months. It's gonna get
- 10:39Speaker 2: s and we we have horror movies up to Violent Night,
- 10:43Speaker 2: Like I feel like that's gonna be just a five
- 10:45Speaker 2: star Violent Night, and then David Harbor as sounds amazing.
- 10:51Speaker 1: So we've got I don't we have even mentioned that yet.
- 10:53Speaker 1: We've got Violent Night with you know, David Harbor, like
- 10:55Speaker 1: he said that, We've got The Mean One, which is
- 10:57Speaker 1: essentially a Grench movie where it's David Howard and playing
- 11:00Speaker 1: the Grinch and he's going on to killing spree, which
- 11:02Speaker 1: I don't know how they're doing that because the Grinch
- 11:04Speaker 1: is not public domain, so I don't know how they're
- 11:07Speaker 1: getting away with that. Maybe because they're just calling.
- 11:09Speaker 2: It called the Mean One.
- 11:11Speaker 1: Dressing him as the Grinch.
- 11:13Speaker 2: I was gonna say that that's nah, because I feel like, if,
- 11:16Speaker 2: for instance, if that Winning the Pooh Blood and Honey
- 11:18Speaker 2: was just called Blood and Honey, which there's already a
- 11:20Speaker 2: movie called that, but if there wasn't, and then you
- 11:23Speaker 2: watch it and it's about that, it could get away
- 11:25Speaker 2: with it because you're not using the name basically the
- 11:27Speaker 2: domain is the name, not the character.
- 11:29Speaker 1: Well, Winnie the Pooh is public domain though, no I know.
- 11:31Speaker 2: But I was just using that as oh, yeah, yeah,
- 11:33Speaker 2: use that. It's called Way of the Pooh, blood and Honey,
- 11:34Speaker 2: versus just cutting out the words Winnie the Pooh.
- 11:36Speaker 1: You could just call it blood and honey.
- 11:37Speaker 2: Yeah, and you still use the wind and Pooh character.
- 11:39Speaker 2: Because the domain is the name, you're you're basically yeah,
- 11:42Speaker 2: the domain is the name, not the character.
- 11:44Speaker 1: That's interesting. I guess that's how they're getting away with
- 11:46Speaker 1: it either way. I didn't think we would get two
- 11:50Speaker 1: like slasher horror movie, like slasher Christmas horror movies. There
- 11:55Speaker 1: we go, I can say it.
- 11:56Speaker 2: We might even get more. For all we know, that's
- 11:57Speaker 2: the only two that were mentioned so far.
- 11:59Speaker 1: But that's crazy. And then also I've added it up.
- 12:01Speaker 1: This year we've gotten six found footage horror movies, which
- 12:03Speaker 1: not that they not all of them were great, but
- 12:05Speaker 1: we've got six found footage, which for me is like amazing.
- 12:09Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about one in a second that I
- 12:11Speaker 1: just watched recently. Like, it's been a really good year
- 12:13Speaker 1: for horror, definitely has been better than all the worst stuff.
- 12:16Speaker 1: But this Top ten is gonna be extremely hard this year.
- 12:20Speaker 1: It's gonna be hard. I'm gonna have to be tweaking
- 12:22Speaker 1: it the night like I'm gonna be up the night before.
- 12:24Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna watch all of them again in quick
- 12:26Speaker 1: succession to make sure that that my my, my numbers
- 12:30Speaker 1: are right. So it's gonna be quite sketchy. Speaking of
- 12:33Speaker 1: also watching a lot of movies. My thirty one Days
- 12:36Speaker 1: of Horror continues with Frankenstein created a Woman Fucking Amazing
- 12:41Speaker 1: four stars, Vampire Lovers Awesome, three and a half stars,
- 12:45Speaker 1: Squirm which was pretty good, nothing nothing crazy, three stars,
- 12:49Speaker 1: and then just watch Exorsis to the Heretic today not
- 12:53Speaker 1: good two stars, two stars.
- 12:56Speaker 2: I've heard the third one is not fantastic. It's got
- 12:59Speaker 2: a three six terrible to the first one. Yeah, it's
- 13:02Speaker 2: like people are I'm not sad. I've only seen the
- 13:03Speaker 2: first two.
- 13:04Speaker 1: I will let you know how. The third one is
- 13:06Speaker 1: one called.
- 13:07Speaker 2: The Beginning, which I don't know if it's I don't
- 13:09Speaker 2: remember if that's like a rebit or one, but it's
- 13:10Speaker 2: the came on the early two thousands called Exorcist The Beginning.
- 13:14Speaker 1: I've never even heard of it.
- 13:15Speaker 2: With uh, I believe it's the Stars guard Dad that's
- 13:18Speaker 2: in it.
- 13:19Speaker 1: Oh Stella, I.
- 13:21Speaker 2: Believe that's I could be wrong with what he's in it,
- 13:24Speaker 2: but it's called yeah, ex just the beginning.
- 13:25Speaker 1: Well, I'll keep you posted on Extorsist three up because
- 13:28Speaker 1: Brad Dorriff is also on that playing the Gemini Killer
- 13:30Speaker 1: and I've heard his performance and that's like one of
- 13:32Speaker 1: his best. Nice, So that's cool. But thirty one Days
- 13:35Speaker 1: a Horror is going very well. I'm excited to continue
- 13:37Speaker 1: tomorrow with David Cronenberg's Rabbid and other shenanigans that is coming. Man,
- 13:43Speaker 1: we got some stuff. What did you get in the
- 13:45Speaker 1: mail from the Shocktober sale? You got one movie?
- 13:48Speaker 2: No, I've got so. I ordered a total of ten
- 13:54Speaker 2: movies compared like from Your Mind. Yeah, gone two in
- 13:58Speaker 2: the mail with yours and the third well that's Companies
- 14:00Speaker 2: also yours. So fuck you for not letting me get
- 14:02Speaker 2: any shit.
- 14:04Speaker 1: Well, I've got some movies here. I'll just share real
- 14:07Speaker 1: quick because I've seen some of them and haven't seen
- 14:10Speaker 1: other ones, and I'm gonna recommend some. First one up
- 14:14Speaker 1: as Cherry Falls. Haven't seen this. Bought it for Gabby.
- 14:16Speaker 1: It was ten dollars. This is a slasher movie with Jennifer. No,
- 14:21Speaker 1: that's not right, uh Murphy. Yeah, so that should be fun.
- 14:26Speaker 1: Maybe we'll do that on a later episode coming up.
- 14:29Speaker 1: That'd be pretty tight. Looks like a lot of fun.
- 14:32Speaker 1: I got this other one called Tales from the Crypt
- 14:34Speaker 1: and Vault of Horror. It's a double feature which I've
- 14:37Speaker 1: never seen, but both of them.
- 14:38Speaker 2: Have you haven't seen Tales of the Crypt, Well.
- 14:40Speaker 1: I mean I've seen like the show, but not you know,
- 14:43Speaker 1: this is like a movie but it's not a feature.
- 14:47Speaker 1: But I don't think it's related to Tales from the Crypt.
- 14:50Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know, no idea, I have
- 14:53Speaker 1: no idea. I just saw it and I was like,
- 14:55Speaker 1: that looks fun. It was ten dollars. Got that shit.
- 14:58Speaker 1: I got Relic, which we both watched together and I
- 15:01Speaker 1: really need to rewatch.
- 15:02Speaker 2: That was actually the first horror film we watched in
- 15:05Speaker 2: my new apartment because we were sitting on the floor.
- 15:08Speaker 1: Yeah, we had pizza whiskey or something like that.
- 15:13Speaker 2: It's a whiskey and I read it out and vooded
- 15:15Speaker 2: and we just we watched it with my little, uh
- 15:18Speaker 2: half assed routes outside for the time yeah.
- 15:23Speaker 1: Yeah, so that was really good. That's a really fun one.
- 15:26Speaker 1: If you haven't seen real like, I believe it's on Shutter.
- 15:30Speaker 1: I think I have.
- 15:31Speaker 2: No.
- 15:32Speaker 1: I thought it was stream.
- 15:33Speaker 2: It's either on Shutter or Hulu because Hulo gets a
- 15:36Speaker 2: lot of the I f ceas and that's if c
- 15:38Speaker 2: they really do. Yeah, so maybe it was Hulu. Now
- 15:40Speaker 2: it's on Shutter or.
- 15:41Speaker 1: It's nowhere fuck me, I guess. And then I got
- 15:45Speaker 1: Back Country, which I think has been reviewed on the podcast.
- 15:49Speaker 1: Pretty I was gonna say, I'm pretty sure we did.
- 15:51Speaker 2: We did it back when I can't remember doing two movies.
- 15:54Speaker 1: It was it was The Land of Maple Syrup. It
- 15:56Speaker 1: was Canadian horror movies.
- 15:58Speaker 2: Yes, But he was the other one we watched.
- 16:00Speaker 1: I know, I know it was episode fifty seven, though
- 16:03Speaker 1: I can tell.
- 16:04Speaker 2: You that's okay. I would have never guessed that.
- 16:06Speaker 1: Yeah, can you like so I can't even horror?
- 16:08Speaker 2: What's another we watched?
- 16:10Speaker 1: Wasn't? It wasn't Maniac? Was it? Do we do? No?
- 16:12Speaker 2: We didn't do that. No, I think we did Maniac
- 16:14Speaker 2: by itself.
- 16:15Speaker 1: Maniac was a good one. Did we do the Remaker?
- 16:18Speaker 1: Did we do? Yeah? Episode fifty seven Land of Maple Syrup.
- 16:21Speaker 1: Oh my god, the movie though, we did the Thaw
- 16:26Speaker 1: back Country, The Thaw back Country. They wait an American Mary,
- 16:31Speaker 1: That's what we did. All we did four Yeah, the
- 16:34Speaker 1: Land of Maple Syrup. I can't remember. I can't believe
- 16:37Speaker 1: I remember the episode title. That's fucking great. Uh so yeah,
- 16:40Speaker 1: we reviewed that. I really enjoyed this one. That bear
- 16:42Speaker 1: attack is absolutely insane. It looked so real. So back
- 16:46Speaker 1: Country is one I'm obviously gonna recommend. Also got the Editor,
- 16:50Speaker 1: which is hilarious. I really enjoyed this one. I haven't
- 16:53Speaker 1: seen it in a while, but I remember this being
- 16:54Speaker 1: a really good.
- 16:55Speaker 2: Funny long time. I've seen it one time a while ago.
- 16:59Speaker 1: Well, maybe we can watch soon. Maybe I'll bring it
- 17:01Speaker 1: over and watch it. And then last, oh not last
- 17:02Speaker 1: minu At least I got two more here. I got
- 17:04Speaker 1: Return of Living Dead in four K from Shout Factory.
- 17:07Speaker 1: Very excited to check out the transfer on that. As always,
- 17:11Speaker 1: and last, but certainly not least, I got like a
- 17:14Speaker 1: coveted prize, Possession of Mine. It is the Paranormal Activity,
- 17:20Speaker 1: the Ultimate Chills Collection, and it comes with every single movie.
- 17:24Speaker 1: So we've got one, two, three, four, marked ones Ghost
- 17:27Speaker 1: Dimension Next of Ken, and it comes with this bonus
- 17:32Speaker 1: Unknown Dimension, the story of Paranormal Activity. But here, I
- 17:36Speaker 1: want to see if you can notice what's wrong with
- 17:38Speaker 1: this picture? Yeah, what's wrong?
- 17:41Speaker 2: What's a little bit lighter than the case which was
- 17:45Speaker 2: which was lighter.
- 17:46Speaker 1: It's so it's it's no, it's ghost Dimension. And that's
- 17:50Speaker 1: because they included a three D version in here. Oh yeah, okay,
- 17:53Speaker 1: And I'm like, I'm never gonna why are we still
- 17:56Speaker 1: doing that? No one has three dtvs anymore.
- 17:59Speaker 2: I think, well that because I think what they did
- 18:01Speaker 2: with most of these, minus Next to Kit, because next
- 18:04Speaker 2: Kin just came out, but the other ones they probably
- 18:06Speaker 2: just used the recycled versions there.
- 18:08Speaker 1: No, yeah, that's what they It's just funny because it
- 18:10Speaker 1: is nice though, because they all have like brand new covers,
- 18:13Speaker 1: like all the paper inserts. These are all brand new,
- 18:15Speaker 1: and they're all like cohesive, which is nice. But yeah,
- 18:18Speaker 1: there's one blue ray case because all of them have
- 18:20Speaker 1: one disc, and then the sixth one Ghost to Mention,
- 18:22Speaker 1: which is the worst one, has two discs in there,
- 18:26Speaker 1: and the blue ray case is a different style, And
- 18:27Speaker 1: I'm like, you fucking stick.
- 18:31Speaker 2: By yourself, just an empty case but that's the color
- 18:34Speaker 2: of the other ones and switch it out.
- 18:35Speaker 1: No, it's not that it's a different color. It's just
- 18:37Speaker 1: like it's it's like a different width, like it's taller.
- 18:40Speaker 1: This little section.
- 18:42Speaker 2: Well also looks it looks like it's it's brighter.
- 18:45Speaker 1: It's just like a little clear. Yeah. So I'm just like,
- 18:47Speaker 1: god damn it. But this is exciting because I absolutely
- 18:49Speaker 1: love this franchise, and it's nice to have them all
- 18:51Speaker 1: on a box set. I had them in like the uh,
- 18:54Speaker 1: you know that one, you know, thick blue ray case
- 18:57Speaker 1: that has all the like the flippy things in there,
- 18:59Speaker 1: which just falls apart.
- 19:00Speaker 2: But also next to Kid, this is the first time
- 19:01Speaker 2: it's been released.
- 19:02Speaker 1: I know.
- 19:04Speaker 2: That's cool.
- 19:04Speaker 1: And it's even cooler because let's see one through six
- 19:09Speaker 1: all come with the R rated version and the unrated
- 19:12Speaker 1: version next to Ken is just R rated because there
- 19:14Speaker 1: is no unrated and then the of course the you know,
- 19:18Speaker 1: the story of Paranormal Activity is not rated as well.
- 19:20Speaker 1: But then I believe they have h what does it say?
- 19:23Speaker 1: The two alter The alternate endings of number one never
- 19:26Speaker 1: seen in theaters, but I've seen there's three endings. I've
- 19:29Speaker 1: seen all three of them. So I'm curious to see
- 19:30Speaker 1: which one they included, because they said includes alternate ending
- 19:34Speaker 1: not seen in theaters. I'm like, there's two other ones though,
- 19:37Speaker 1: so I gotta check that out.
- 19:38Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but but those two ones didn't show theatrically.
- 19:41Speaker 1: Yeah all yeah, So it'll be nice to watch all
- 19:44Speaker 1: those after October, because I've got too much shit to
- 19:47Speaker 1: watch this month. I just can't keep up. Have you
- 19:50Speaker 1: watched anything It doesn't have to be horror? I mean,
- 19:53Speaker 1: obviously horrors bonus points, But have you watched anything interesting lately? Theatrically?
- 19:57Speaker 1: At home?
- 19:58Speaker 2: I watched the new Hill Raiser.
- 20:00Speaker 1: Oh yeah, let's talk about that. I've got some thoughts
- 20:04Speaker 1: and feelings. Shocker.
- 20:05Speaker 2: You see what else? If there's there's anything off the
- 20:08Speaker 2: top of my head? Uh new wise note, Well I
- 20:11Speaker 2: watched that and then, uh, the mister, those are the
- 20:16Speaker 2: two newest things. Everything else has been rewatched.
- 20:18Speaker 1: All right, girl, let's dish. Let's dish about Halla Raiser.
- 20:22Speaker 1: I gotta get I gotta get all these thoughts out
- 20:24Speaker 1: of my head. And you got you can, you can obviously.
- 20:25Speaker 1: You start the conversation, tell me what you like, tell
- 20:27Speaker 1: me what you didn't like, And then I have a
- 20:29Speaker 1: lot of thoughts and feelings.
- 20:31Speaker 2: Honestly, there wasn't anything I didn't like, except did you
- 20:35Speaker 2: rate it so low? I said, accept First of all,
- 20:41Speaker 2: I didn't write it that low compared to you. Yes,
- 20:43Speaker 2: but like I didn't read it that low. Uh So
- 20:47Speaker 2: it did. And like I said, when it dragged, It
- 20:49Speaker 2: dragged for about two to like five minutes in the
- 20:51Speaker 2: ending to me, which was enough to like rate it
- 20:53Speaker 2: lower just because I was I got bored for that
- 20:57Speaker 2: slight few minutes and then it got back. I'm like, okay, cool,
- 21:00Speaker 2: but like I was kind of border but I wasn't like,
- 21:03Speaker 2: like I said, like the movie itself, there was nothing
- 21:05Speaker 2: wrong with it. Is just the run time like uh
- 21:08Speaker 2: or or maybe it was just the way they paced
- 21:10Speaker 2: in It could have been the run time was perfect,
- 21:12Speaker 2: but the way you know, sometimes editing will be the
- 21:14Speaker 2: downfall of the pacingly all the time. It could be
- 21:17Speaker 2: a three hour movie and it could be perfect, and
- 21:19Speaker 2: it could be like on page and everything, it's one
- 21:21Speaker 2: perfect movie, but like there could be a segment that's
- 21:23Speaker 2: just edited wrongly or like or like they put us
- 21:27Speaker 2: you know, they put scenes in different spots to make
- 21:29Speaker 2: it run different, like the pacing different. Yes, they do
- 21:31Speaker 2: a lot, and that could have just been that, but uh,
- 21:35Speaker 2: going into it, I didn't know what really do expect.
- 21:37Speaker 2: I What really intrigued me more about this was we
- 21:40Speaker 2: got a female pinhead or as they in the credits
- 21:44Speaker 2: they call her the.
- 21:45Speaker 1: Priest Pinhead, which.
- 21:48Speaker 2: Which I thought was very interesting. Yeah. So obviously the
- 21:53Speaker 2: updated uh visuals and everything may made the movie just pop.
- 21:58Speaker 2: And you know what, maybe after my second watch, maybe
- 22:00Speaker 2: I'll give it a more reading. But like upon my
- 22:02Speaker 2: first watch, that's what I got, okay, which you know
- 22:05Speaker 2: is a three point five okay, which you know that's
- 22:08Speaker 2: not really not bad for it. I guess I'm reimagining.
- 22:10Speaker 2: I would put this more of a reimagine than Remak,
- 22:12Speaker 2: even though it had some of the same plot beats
- 22:14Speaker 2: of the first one. But like, you have a female pinnance,
- 22:17Speaker 2: so that's all totally re imagine. There. You have the cenobites,
- 22:22Speaker 2: cenobytes bites.
- 22:23Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they have to be confused with uh cenobites
- 22:27Speaker 1: from Burger King, because those were a thing.
- 22:30Speaker 2: I didn't know that was the thing.
- 22:31Speaker 1: Yeah, little they have like I don't know, I think
- 22:32Speaker 1: they're called cenobites but it's c I N N A bites.
- 22:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm shrugging my shoulders, shrug, shrug. But anyway, like
- 22:39Speaker 2: the updated visuals I feel like made this movie closer
- 22:43Speaker 2: to a reimagining the remake for me personally. Yeah, I
- 22:46Speaker 2: mean other people might say it that way. I did. Like,
- 22:50Speaker 2: you know, they kept so they kept like without giving
- 22:54Speaker 2: anything away because you know, some people may have not
- 22:56Speaker 2: even seen the original Hell Raises, but they kept the
- 22:58Speaker 2: general plot of the first one, but tweaked it. Like
- 23:03Speaker 2: I said, they reimagined. Yeah, that's that's basically the same
- 23:06Speaker 2: plot on paper, but when you watch it, it's a
- 23:08Speaker 2: different it's different. I did enjoy that. I liked. I
- 23:14Speaker 2: liked that uh the hell A priest uh slashed like
- 23:18Speaker 2: female penhead, the amount of screen time she got. Like
- 23:21Speaker 2: she didn't show up until about an hour into the movie,
- 23:23Speaker 2: which I thought was okay, which you know, made sense,
- 23:25Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden she was in the
- 23:26Speaker 2: rest of it pretty much. Yeah, and I was like, okay, cool,
- 23:29Speaker 2: Like she didn't have like a huge part. I mean
- 23:30Speaker 2: obviously she did, but like she didn't, but she was
- 23:33Speaker 2: she was always like there. Like I feel like once
- 23:35Speaker 2: she became on screen. Almost every frame she was there
- 23:38Speaker 2: either either you know, she was just her presence were
- 23:41Speaker 2: there either way for like the next hour where I
- 23:43Speaker 2: guess fifty four minutes or what her minus credits. But uh,
- 23:46Speaker 2: I liked that. I liked I really liked the design
- 23:50Speaker 2: of the house.
- 23:51Speaker 1: Yeah, it was really cool. It gave me like very
- 23:54Speaker 1: thirteen ghost vibes in a way.
- 23:56Speaker 2: Thirteen I even got a house and Haunted Hill was
- 24:00Speaker 2: just because of the so like you got these So
- 24:03Speaker 2: I feel like, I mean, I don't know, like from
- 24:06Speaker 2: a writer standpoint or whatever, but I feel like if
- 24:09Speaker 2: you like both thirteen Ghosts and House on Hanted Hill,
- 24:12Speaker 2: either the remake or the original, either way, you're gonna
- 24:15Speaker 2: get those vibes from the third act of this movie
- 24:17Speaker 2: in a big way. And if you like those two movies,
- 24:20Speaker 2: you should like this. Now. When I watched this, I
- 24:26Speaker 2: remember you asked me how, I how what I thought
- 24:28Speaker 2: between that and the original At that time, It's been
- 24:31Speaker 2: it was a long time, so I've seen the original,
- 24:33Speaker 2: so I had no thoughts on that. But then the
- 24:36Speaker 2: next day I watched. A couple of days later, I
- 24:39Speaker 2: watched the original again, just for the first time in
- 24:41Speaker 2: a while. As I did like the first one, not
- 24:44Speaker 2: as much, Like I gave that a three versus this
- 24:47Speaker 2: the three five. I know that's not a huge difference
- 24:49Speaker 2: in comparison, which I said, and could change. Like I
- 24:53Speaker 2: could have probably gone back and watched the remake again
- 24:55Speaker 2: right after, just to see if it changed, but I
- 24:57Speaker 2: really didn't want to because I feel like it's too
- 24:59Speaker 2: fresh to my to make a difference. Oh yeah, so
- 25:03Speaker 2: I'm definitely going to come back to the remake eventually,
- 25:08Speaker 2: like I thought it was great. I actually don't own
- 25:10Speaker 2: any of the hell Raisers. I don't plan on obviously.
- 25:12Speaker 2: The only one I actually end up owning if if
- 25:14Speaker 2: it does come a physical would be the remake. Like
- 25:17Speaker 2: I like the first one, but like, I don't think
- 25:19Speaker 2: i'd watch it again in a long time. Or do
- 25:22Speaker 2: you have the Aero version of the first one?
- 25:24Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, I got the Errow version of the first two.
- 25:25Speaker 2: Oh, I know they did the second. I just thought
- 25:27Speaker 2: they did the first.
- 25:28Speaker 1: Yeah. I found this one first. I found two first
- 25:31Speaker 1: because I heard it was better. You know, I heard
- 25:33Speaker 1: if you didn't like the first one, that you like
- 25:34Speaker 1: this one one percent. Facts fucking loved hell Bound. That
- 25:38Speaker 1: was fucking awesome. And then I and then I just
- 25:41Speaker 1: got this against my better judgment even though I don't
- 25:43Speaker 1: like it, just because I was like, I can't have
- 25:45Speaker 1: two with that one. And also like maybe this will
- 25:48Speaker 1: grow on me over time. I'm hoping that this grows
- 25:50Speaker 1: on me, like you know, like but it's so this
- 25:53Speaker 1: sadly it happen.
- 25:54Speaker 2: This is how I I you know, I think with
- 25:57Speaker 2: the first one, like I probably wouldn't have liked it
- 26:01Speaker 2: as much. Like I mean, I didn't love it, obviously,
- 26:04Speaker 2: I enjoyed it, but like what I got from the
- 26:07Speaker 2: first one when that ended, this new rewatch was it
- 26:11Speaker 2: wasn't necessarily about like like Pinhead or anything. It was
- 26:15Speaker 2: more about the human condition because and without giving too
- 26:18Speaker 2: much away of the of the original just case some
- 26:21Speaker 2: listeners want to see it and have it yet, is
- 26:24Speaker 2: something happens to where somebody is getting kind of like manipulated,
- 26:28Speaker 2: but they're getting manipulated because they're in love with this
- 26:30Speaker 2: set of person and they're doing what they they're saying
- 26:33Speaker 2: to do against a moral or better judgment. And by
- 26:36Speaker 2: the time this movie's over, you're just like, this is
- 26:40Speaker 2: the human condition, Like some people can get I'm not
- 26:42Speaker 2: saying she was brainwashed, like the main actress or whatever's
- 26:45Speaker 2: brainwashing and doing this. But like she did things because
- 26:48Speaker 2: her heart told her to do those things even though
- 26:50Speaker 2: she knew because at first she was reluctant, but like
- 26:53Speaker 2: I feel like her heart was like, yeah, this seems right,
- 26:56Speaker 2: let me do this, and by the end she realized
- 26:58Speaker 2: she made a mistake. Versus the remake or the reimagining,
- 27:03Speaker 2: it had nothing to do with any of that. It
- 27:04Speaker 2: was more the reimagine was more of a to me,
- 27:08Speaker 2: it was more like a mystery, like a mystery surrounding
- 27:11Speaker 2: around the cube.
- 27:14Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was everything I wanted from the
- 27:16Speaker 1: first one because in the first one US one, you
- 27:18Speaker 1: don't get any explanation about the cube or from what
- 27:22Speaker 1: I remember, you don't really get any any explanation of
- 27:25Speaker 1: what the cube is besides that it summons these beings,
- 27:28Speaker 1: these cenobytes, they you know, and then they come for you.
- 27:31Speaker 1: But like the like, they don't really explain like in this.
- 27:33Speaker 1: In the new one, there's these like six configurations that
- 27:36Speaker 1: you have to go through, and whoever possesses the last
- 27:38Speaker 1: one gets one of six options, you know, like the Lazarus,
- 27:42Speaker 1: which is resurrection or lament.
- 27:45Speaker 2: Not explained in the original, That's.
- 27:47Speaker 1: What I'm saying. They don't explain any of that. They
- 27:49Speaker 1: just kind of expect you to roll with whatever's going on.
- 27:53Speaker 1: But then in the new one, they just lay it
- 27:55Speaker 1: out like perfectly. I understood it so much more than
- 27:58Speaker 1: the original movie. The story is so much more cohesive,
- 28:01Speaker 1: and I actually understood the first movie because of this movie.
- 28:06Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, this makes so much like hell, Ray
- 28:09Speaker 1: the eighty seven to one makes so much more sense
- 28:11Speaker 1: now that I know this information. So unless I missed
- 28:13Speaker 1: it in the original, it's not very explanatory on what's
- 28:17Speaker 1: going on. You have Julia who is kind of hoarding around,
- 28:20Speaker 1: bringing men to the house. Well she's acting like she's
- 28:23Speaker 1: gonna sleep with them, and then like you know, they
- 28:26Speaker 1: get killed to get Frank back.
- 28:28Speaker 2: And you're very under the vibe but not good.
- 28:30Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, because like I don't care about her, like
- 28:34Speaker 1: I don't care about you or Frank. You both are
- 28:35Speaker 1: shitty people. You're cheating on each other with like you
- 28:38Speaker 1: know that, Like Julia has a husband and you're and
- 28:41Speaker 1: Frank is his brother. It's like this is such a
- 28:44Speaker 1: like I just can't care about anybody. I cannot care
- 28:48Speaker 1: except for Kirsty, Like, obviously I care about Kirsty, and
- 28:50Speaker 1: I think that's why I like to so much, because
- 28:52Speaker 1: it really centers around her. Julie is in it, but
- 28:54Speaker 1: like she's not as unlikable. She isn't the first one.
- 28:57Speaker 2: If anything, this this this new one, you can just
- 29:00Speaker 2: go in as completely like its own movie.
- 29:03Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the thing. You can go into Hell
- 29:05Speaker 1: Raiser not knowing anything about hell Raiser and be perfectly
- 29:08Speaker 1: up to speed. But for some reason, the original one,
- 29:10Speaker 1: it's like you have to know. It's like you almost
- 29:12Speaker 1: have to have read the hell Bound Heart, you know,
- 29:14Speaker 1: like Clyde Barker short, It's almost like you had to
- 29:17Speaker 1: have read that to know what was going on. But this, then,
- 29:19Speaker 1: the remake, is like, here's everything that's going on, even
- 29:22Speaker 1: if you don't know shit about hell Raiser, here's everything.
- 29:24Speaker 1: You know. You know who the priest is. You know
- 29:26Speaker 1: that the sen advice or her you know her little
- 29:29Speaker 1: group at gang or whatever you wanna call them. You
- 29:31Speaker 1: know what you have to do in order to get
- 29:33Speaker 1: one of the you know, like the prizes at the end,
- 29:36Speaker 1: if you have the last configuration of the cube, and
- 29:38Speaker 1: it's just so and then there was a lot of
- 29:40Speaker 1: layers to it too, because you have a beginning plot
- 29:43Speaker 1: that comes back around in the end and then there's
- 29:45Speaker 1: like fucking you know, like double crossing, and there's so
- 29:49Speaker 1: much like layers going on in the movie that I
- 29:51Speaker 1: was like, this is really cool. It's not confusing and
- 29:54Speaker 1: like like oversaturated. They're just doing a perfect job at
- 29:57Speaker 1: visual storytelling, moving the four like the platform with the
- 30:01Speaker 1: uh you know dialogue, and the score was just in
- 30:05Speaker 1: the background, fucking meshing everything together perfectly. So it was like,
- 30:09Speaker 1: I don't know, it just works so well for me.
- 30:11Speaker 2: Yeah, like I thought it was a great movie. I
- 30:13Speaker 2: just you know, like I couldn't you know, with with
- 30:17Speaker 2: you know, watching movies. It's so weird because well, I
- 30:20Speaker 2: guess specific moods, but in general, like I mean, you
- 30:22Speaker 2: could be in mood for a movie, but like you
- 30:24Speaker 2: got to be in the mood for a movie, or
- 30:25Speaker 2: you're going to watch it in a different way than
- 30:28Speaker 2: you would if you were in like the mood for
- 30:31Speaker 2: a movie.
- 30:31Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes if you know, also, yeah, it depends on
- 30:34Speaker 1: what happened to you that day, what kind of mood
- 30:35Speaker 1: you're in.
- 30:36Speaker 2: For instance, the first time I saw you know. I mean,
- 30:39Speaker 2: I don't know if we've discussed this on the podcast,
- 30:41Speaker 2: but I've discussed it with you in person. The first
- 30:42Speaker 2: time I saw Hereditary, I didn't really like it. Yeah,
- 30:45Speaker 2: and then I was on the wrong mindset when I
- 30:47Speaker 2: watched it the first time. Anyways, I just wanted I
- 30:49Speaker 2: just really wanted to see it, and it was out
- 30:50Speaker 2: on the theater, so I saw it. But then I
- 30:52Speaker 2: gave it a second chance, like a couple of weeks later,
- 30:54Speaker 2: when I was in a better mindset, and I absolutely
- 30:56Speaker 2: loved it. It was like it was like I was
- 30:57Speaker 2: watching two different movies.
- 30:58Speaker 1: Yeah, same thing, and some mar I went in expecting
- 31:01Speaker 1: Hereditary and I didn't get that and I was like,
- 31:03Speaker 1: this sucks. And then I watched it again and I
- 31:04Speaker 1: was like, no, this is brilliant.
- 31:06Speaker 2: No, No, I'm not saying I was in the wrong
- 31:08Speaker 2: mindset for hell Raiser or whatever. I really was excited
- 31:11Speaker 2: to watch it, but you know, I could have just
- 31:12Speaker 2: been I could have been tired. Yeah, Like who knows,
- 31:15Speaker 2: So like, like, you know, I will definitely It's definitely
- 31:18Speaker 2: still in my queue to rewatch on Hulu. I have that,
- 31:20Speaker 2: and I like, I absolutely love Prey, which it's also
- 31:23Speaker 2: still in my like my list. It's just those movies
- 31:25Speaker 2: will just be there forever because that's how since it's
- 31:29Speaker 2: it's only on Hulu, that's my version of I own this.
- 31:33Speaker 1: Yeah, that's and that's where hell Raiser is streaming. It
- 31:35Speaker 1: released on ten seven on Hulu. Interesting for it to
- 31:39Speaker 1: go straight to Hulu, but I mean, it's cool whatever.
- 31:43Speaker 2: That one makes more sense to go go to Hulu
- 31:46Speaker 2: than Pray, I like, versus like streaming to theatrical.
- 31:50Speaker 1: Yeah, we still yeah, we talked about how we wish
- 31:52Speaker 1: Pray had theatrically.
- 31:53Speaker 2: I wish Pray had theatrical. I'd still go see if
- 31:55Speaker 2: it's just there's also I'm going to do this for
- 31:57Speaker 2: one week and be like, Okay, I'm there.
- 31:59Speaker 1: Nailed it. Yeah, but uh then, I don't know the
- 32:02Speaker 1: consensus online about hell Raiser, at least from what I've
- 32:06Speaker 1: been posting, because you know, I always post new movies.
- 32:09Speaker 1: I'm like, what did you guys think? I really quite
- 32:11Speaker 1: enjoyed it. A lot of people commented on my things
- 32:14Speaker 1: saying that they didn't like it and that female pinhead
- 32:17Speaker 1: I didn't like that, and I'm like, well that's not surprising,
- 32:21Speaker 1: I know, but unfortunately, like for it's like, for some men,
- 32:23Speaker 1: is your fucking masculinity so fragile that there's the hell Raiser. Essentially,
- 32:28Speaker 1: what it comes down to is hell Raiser doesn't have
- 32:30Speaker 1: a penis, and that's what upsets you. He's he's not
- 32:33Speaker 1: a man, and hold on, I'm gonna get I'm gonna
- 32:35Speaker 1: get there. Okay, No, I'm gonna get there. So it's
- 32:39Speaker 1: essentially what it comes down to. I don't know why
- 32:40Speaker 1: people are I don't know why people are so upset that, Oh,
- 32:43Speaker 1: how dare they replace a man with a woman like
- 32:46Speaker 1: it's called and it's it's called blake putting women in
- 32:49Speaker 1: the spotlight man Like, it's like, we don't have to
- 32:51Speaker 1: put a man everywhere, have a woman in there, change
- 32:54Speaker 1: it up like whatever. And the funny thing is, okay,
- 32:57Speaker 1: this is sorry, this isn't funny. But I'm in regard
- 32:59Speaker 1: to iron The ironic thing is is that Jamie Clayton
- 33:03Speaker 1: is actually a transgender woman, so she you know, it
- 33:05Speaker 1: was a man that transitioned to a woman, so technically,
- 33:10Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like, so, I don't know
- 33:12Speaker 1: what you're that upset, but I think that's also another
- 33:14Speaker 1: thing that's irritating people is the fact that she's transgender,
- 33:16Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, oh no, we're we're including people
- 33:19Speaker 1: in movies. How dare us do that? Like I thought
- 33:22Speaker 1: it was fucking I thought it was metal, dude. She
- 33:25Speaker 1: was amazing. Her performance was great, Her voice was I know,
- 33:28Speaker 1: they obviously altered it, but she sounded just aw man.
- 33:31Speaker 2: And that's what I was about to say. Her voice
- 33:33Speaker 2: was not altered as much as you think. That's actually
- 33:35Speaker 2: a lot of that. If you take out the more
- 33:37Speaker 2: like the deep like horror out of it, that's actually
- 33:39Speaker 2: her voice.
- 33:40Speaker 1: Well yeah, I know, yeah, but there was definitely like
- 33:41Speaker 1: almost like a second layer.
- 33:43Speaker 2: But yeah, cool, But I feel like her original voice
- 33:48Speaker 2: actually brought more to that second layer than if they
- 33:51Speaker 2: just totally like digitized, like like you know, gave her voice,
- 33:56Speaker 2: you know, digital like a digital voice.
- 33:57Speaker 1: And they were all the sona bites. I'd say we're
- 34:00Speaker 1: about ninety percent practical effects. As I saw behind the
- 34:03Speaker 1: scenes photos of all of them, and I'm like, this
- 34:05Speaker 1: is so awesome. Now, there wasn't like and I think
- 34:09Speaker 1: another reason people may not like it is because you know,
- 34:12Speaker 1: the original is pretty heavy on the like the practical
- 34:14Speaker 1: effects and It's not that there weren't any practical effects
- 34:17Speaker 1: in this, but I think that the gore was toned
- 34:19Speaker 1: down a bit, but they were very creative with some
- 34:22Speaker 1: of their kills. And the ending scene alone, my fucking god,
- 34:26Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, and to.
- 34:27Speaker 2: Be honest, like you know, gore or like like gore
- 34:31Speaker 2: blood like gore, not like it doesn't make or break.
- 34:33Speaker 1: A Yeah, it doesn't.
- 34:35Speaker 2: Like like think about the original Texas chance to ask her,
- 34:38Speaker 2: I think it was more rated R because of the
- 34:40Speaker 2: time of this subject, better than like the actual like
- 34:42Speaker 2: violence of stuff.
- 34:43Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just it's it was rated R for just
- 34:45Speaker 1: like sheer terror, you.
- 34:46Speaker 2: Know, Like I mean, think about the Conjuring movies. They're
- 34:49Speaker 2: all rated ART for literally just disturbing images.
- 34:51Speaker 1: Like no, there's no nudity, there's any language, and.
- 34:56Speaker 2: If there is language, it's like someone says shit. Once again,
- 34:59Speaker 2: there's not very much language that. But yeah, if it's
- 35:02Speaker 2: just literally raded art on scares alone, which honestly for
- 35:05Speaker 2: a for a movie, that's fucking impressive. That's impressive to
- 35:08Speaker 2: get an R rating with literally nothing to make the
- 35:11Speaker 2: movie art. Like the only reason why the Matrix movies
- 35:13Speaker 2: are readed art well, back back when the first one
- 35:15Speaker 2: came out in ninety nine was because of you saw
- 35:18Speaker 2: bullet cases. Back in the time, you could not show
- 35:20Speaker 2: bullet cases on screen.
- 35:21Speaker 1: And there there's thousands, Yes, there's like hundreds of thousand.
- 35:26Speaker 2: Because you think that there was there was no sex
- 35:28Speaker 2: in there. There was a little little bit of language,
- 35:30Speaker 2: like I said, Ship maybe a couple of times, which
- 35:32Speaker 2: you know you could you there wasn't the second one,
- 35:33Speaker 2: but well they actually they actually did the second one
- 35:36Speaker 2: because they're like, it's gonna get rid of out anyways,
- 35:39Speaker 2: there's a relationship we we've already brought into it.
- 35:41Speaker 1: We might as well we're gonna have one of them.
- 35:43Speaker 1: We're gonna have an insane scene with techno in the background. Yeah,
- 35:46Speaker 1: getting it out and still.
- 35:48Speaker 2: Even with the fourth one, like I know you haven't
- 35:49Speaker 2: seen that yet, so I'm not giving anything way, but.
- 35:51Speaker 1: They know I'm slacking dud really hard. I meant to
- 35:56Speaker 1: buy it and then I never bought it because it
- 35:58Speaker 1: was on sale and it wasn't on sale.
- 36:00Speaker 2: I know, well you have well next month is Black Friday.
- 36:03Speaker 2: I'll bet you'll be on sale.
- 36:05Speaker 1: It is next month, doesn't that Holy Ship?
- 36:06Speaker 2: But anyway, like uh, there's no it's literally this one's
- 36:10Speaker 2: literally running for violence and language. And there is the
- 36:12Speaker 2: F word in this book because at this point, like
- 36:15Speaker 2: the people are seeing this, who cares? Fuck it? A
- 36:17Speaker 2: couple of bombs whatever like it. Actually it's funny because
- 36:21Speaker 2: it actually makes more sense to throw it at the
- 36:23Speaker 2: F bombs into the fourth one than any of the
- 36:25Speaker 2: other ones. But I'm not gonna tell you why.
- 36:27Speaker 1: They're just tired.
- 36:28Speaker 2: It's actually has nothing to do with getting I mean,
- 36:32Speaker 2: it's definitely not getting too old for this. He's not umpire.
- 36:35Speaker 1: Yeah he's a vampire.
- 36:35Speaker 2: But yeah, it's actually more like it's more like plot wise, Yeah,
- 36:39Speaker 2: it's it's it's but since you haven't seen that, I'm
- 36:41Speaker 2: not gonna I'm not gonna say anything, but like it
- 36:43Speaker 2: makes more sense for this to have that type of
- 36:47Speaker 2: language versus the first three. Well but yeah, but literally
- 36:50Speaker 2: first one was Red of Ard just because of shell casinges.
- 36:52Speaker 1: That's crazy. There's a lot of them in there. Case
- 36:55Speaker 1: you haven't seen that movie, there's a lot of them
- 36:57Speaker 1: in there.
- 36:57Speaker 2: But else, if you haven't seen the Matrix, what are
- 36:59Speaker 2: you doing?
- 37:00Speaker 1: What are you doing? What are you doing with your life?
- 37:02Speaker 2: This is now a a non matrix, non watch or
- 37:05Speaker 2: shame podcast.
- 37:07Speaker 1: All we talk about is the matrix. It's the same
- 37:09Speaker 1: movies every episode.
- 37:11Speaker 2: You haven't seen it, just an hour of shame, shame, shame.
- 37:15Speaker 1: Uh so, yeah, New hell Raiser. Check it out on Hulu.
- 37:18Speaker 1: I quite liked it. I'm not gonna give away my
- 37:20Speaker 1: rating just because it's gonna be up there for the year.
- 37:23Speaker 1: Uh how uh you? You gave it a three five,
- 37:26Speaker 1: so it's still it's still definitely worth checking out. It
- 37:29Speaker 1: has a three point two overall. Oh I've been down
- 37:32Speaker 1: to three one.
- 37:33Speaker 2: Isn't the first one? The original still like a three seven?
- 37:36Speaker 1: Three five? Oh yeah, Original Hellraiser has three five? Uh
- 37:39Speaker 1: so yeah, and then real quickly, I recently watched a
- 37:44Speaker 1: movie brand new for this year as well, and it
- 37:47Speaker 1: was called dead Stream. So if you can, okay, if
- 37:52Speaker 1: anybody listening to this has seen Grave Encounters and dash
- 37:57Speaker 1: Cam and what was the other thing I explained it
- 38:00Speaker 1: as now that I'm blanking. I sent it to Corey.
- 38:03Speaker 1: It was like hold on, it was like do do oh?
- 38:07Speaker 1: It was like Grave Oh yeah, Grave Encounters followed and
- 38:10Speaker 1: dash Cam had a baby. But dash Cam only in
- 38:13Speaker 1: the regards of that he's live streaming. Uh, nothing else
- 38:16Speaker 1: from that one I've seen literally, Wow, you should get
- 38:20Speaker 1: on that. I should show you those. So it has
- 38:22Speaker 1: vibes have followed because he's a YouTuber and he's a
- 38:25Speaker 1: little obnoxious. Grave Encounters because he goes to and a
- 38:28Speaker 1: you know, an abandoned place, films it and gets you know,
- 38:31Speaker 1: crazy shit happens, and then dash Camp because of streaming.
- 38:33Speaker 1: Would you add Spree to that because of the whole
- 38:35Speaker 1: live stream Yeah, I mean, okay, I guess Spree would
- 38:38Speaker 1: probably be better because dash Cam sucked. I hated that movie, okay,
- 38:42Speaker 1: and not hated it, but I did not like it
- 38:43Speaker 1: at all, So yeah, I guess I hated it. So yeah,
- 38:47Speaker 1: let's do that. We'll say followed Grave Encounters in Spree.
- 38:50Speaker 1: It was really funny. You're you're not really meant to
- 38:52Speaker 1: like the main guy, and they make that very apparent
- 38:54Speaker 1: with his YouTube video right off the bat, but uh,
- 38:57Speaker 1: he does. He does. I don't know, it's weird. It's
- 38:59Speaker 1: like I hate him, but he also is hilarious at
- 39:02Speaker 1: the same time, So it's really it's a really weird
- 39:05Speaker 1: balance they strike where I'm like, you're so annoying.
- 39:07Speaker 2: But like your little Poulter from a Miss Smart.
- 39:12Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much. It's like you are such an asshole,
- 39:14Speaker 1: but you're making me laugh at the same time.
- 39:16Speaker 2: I don't know what to do.
- 39:17Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. Uh, but yeah, it's
- 39:19Speaker 1: it's so crazy because it starts off and you're like,
- 39:21Speaker 1: I don't really like this guy, where's this gonna go?
- 39:23Speaker 1: And then it just goes full tilt like left turn
- 39:25Speaker 1: bonkers and uh, it just goes completely off the wall
- 39:30Speaker 1: and there's a lot of interesting gore and kills and
- 39:32Speaker 1: it's very fun and it's literally like one guy the
- 39:35Speaker 1: entire time, maybe I think a total of three cast members.
- 39:39Speaker 1: And this one went straight to shutter, So if you
- 39:41Speaker 1: have a shutter you can check it out. It's only
- 39:43Speaker 1: eighty seven minutes, and I mean that's like perfect run
- 39:46Speaker 1: time for me. And you know, it's a good social commentary.
- 39:49Speaker 1: If you're into you know, vloggers and shit like that,
- 39:53Speaker 1: or watching people live stream, then this is definitely right
- 39:56Speaker 1: up your alley. I'll give you the little some and
- 40:00Speaker 1: then we will get on to this movie. So dead
- 40:03Speaker 1: Stream is a disgraced internet personality attempts to win back
- 40:06Speaker 1: his followers by live streaming one night alone in a
- 40:09Speaker 1: haunted house, but when he accidentally pisses off a vengeful spirit,
- 40:12Speaker 1: his big comeback event becomes a real time fight for
- 40:14Speaker 1: his life. Three point five out of five on letterbox,
- 40:17Speaker 1: which for a found footage movie, Like I think Cloverfield
- 40:21Speaker 1: is like three to six for reference, and that is
- 40:24Speaker 1: like a massively loved, uh found footage movie. Oh, Cloverfield
- 40:29Speaker 1: is a three to three, so this is a better
- 40:30Speaker 1: rating than Cloverfield.
- 40:33Speaker 2: Think Clverfield has been off for a while long longer,
- 40:35Speaker 2: so it has time.
- 40:36Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's still pretty. It's still impressive for for
- 40:38Speaker 1: a movie to be that highly rated as as a
- 40:42Speaker 1: found footage movie. Anything else good, sir, that you would
- 40:46Speaker 1: care to say? Anything going on? Let's try how excitedly
- 40:50Speaker 1: we are for Halloween ends? All right, well, let's get
- 40:54Speaker 1: into this movie here. Let me get my freaking notes
- 40:58Speaker 1: up here. That is, those are hashtags notes candy Man.
- 41:03Speaker 1: All right, so's yes, candy Man from nineteen Oh. By
- 41:07Speaker 1: the way, this is episode one sixty one. I'm your host,
- 41:10Speaker 1: Austin Procter.
- 41:10Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, we never even said that.
- 41:12Speaker 1: That is your uh, that is your co host, Spencer Lafferman.
- 41:15Speaker 1: Forty one minutes in Nailing It. Candy Man from nineteen
- 41:20Speaker 1: Friday the thirteenth, Right, Yeah, what's the twenty three minute
- 41:23Speaker 1: intro or whatever? You are? Some of a Bitch candy
- 41:27Speaker 1: Man from nineteen ninety two, released on October sixteenth of
- 41:29Speaker 1: that year in the US rated R for moderate sex
- 41:32Speaker 1: and nudity, severe violence and gore, moderate profanity, mild alcohol,
- 41:37Speaker 1: drugs and smoking, and severe frightening and intense scenes. Runtime
- 41:42Speaker 1: of an hour and thirty nine minutes. I don't know
- 41:44Speaker 1: what the difference is between the Oh what is the difference? Though?
- 41:47Speaker 2: Literally ten frames?
- 41:49Speaker 1: Okay, so.
- 41:52Speaker 2: Ten seconds.
- 41:53Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, it's ten frames of gore.
- 41:54Speaker 2: It's the it's actually, oh, it's literally so uh I
- 42:00Speaker 2: thought it was too It doesn't. It's interesting which which
- 42:03Speaker 2: ten it's the scene where she gets knocked out in
- 42:07Speaker 2: the bathroom, and the theatrical apparently you don't see her
- 42:10Speaker 2: getting knocked out, but in the underrated you do. Oh
- 42:13Speaker 2: what it's It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
- 42:16Speaker 1: Why I don't understand the point of making a whole
- 42:18Speaker 1: other cut if it's only going to be like five seconds.
- 42:20Speaker 1: I just I've never understood that. It's silly.
- 42:22Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is how they got the extra runtime
- 42:25Speaker 2: was a was apparently and I don't know that I've
- 42:28Speaker 2: not seen this. I just read it the theatric card
- 42:30Speaker 2: has a post credit scene. This's ten frames, and they
- 42:32Speaker 2: just took that out of the Underrated and added this,
- 42:35Speaker 2: so it makes it the same runtime. So they took
- 42:37Speaker 2: out ten frames added so it's the same and basically
- 42:40Speaker 2: the same thing.
- 42:41Speaker 1: Shenanigans, Yeah, I don't know. Shut Nanigans listed as a
- 42:46Speaker 1: horror thriller straight up directed by Bernard Rose, who has
- 42:48Speaker 1: thirty three directing credits. Also did two things I never
- 42:51Speaker 1: heard about, but here they are Ivans Ecstasy and Frankenstein
- 42:55Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. Those are movies also directed by Bernard Rose.
- 43:03Speaker 1: Was also directed written by Bernard Rose, was twenty writing credits.
- 43:08Speaker 1: Also did the same two movie as I've mentioned. And
- 43:10Speaker 1: also I had no fucking clue that this was based
- 43:14Speaker 1: off of a Clive Barker a short thing or something
- 43:19Speaker 1: The Forbidden.
- 43:20Speaker 2: Which is funny because we just talked about all.
- 43:22Speaker 1: I had no clue, had no clue. I did not
- 43:24Speaker 1: know CLIVEE. Barker was involved in this in anyway. And
- 43:27Speaker 1: I've seen this movie a few times and on this
- 43:30Speaker 1: watch and I was like, oh, yeah, there's his name
- 43:31Speaker 1: right there in the beginning. Yeah, I don't know how
- 43:33Speaker 1: I messed up. So that's the thing. Composed by a
- 43:36Speaker 1: man named Philip Glass, who has one hundred and seventy
- 43:38Speaker 1: one composer credits and also did The Secret Window and
- 43:41Speaker 1: The Illusionist. Cinematography by Anthony B. Richmond, who has ninety
- 43:46Speaker 1: four cinematography credits. Also did the Sandlot, You're Killing Me, Smalls,
- 43:50Speaker 1: Tales from the Hood, and Cherry Falls Nice, which is
- 43:53Speaker 1: funny because we just mentioned that too. I don't I
- 43:56Speaker 1: don't plan this shit. This just happens, man, This just happen.
- 44:00Speaker 1: Weapons starring Virginia Madison as Helen Lyle. She has one
- 44:04Speaker 1: hundred and thirty two acting credits, also in Dune the
- 44:08Speaker 1: Original as Princess i irraland I can't say that the
- 44:13Speaker 1: number twenty three as Agatha Sparrow and Pray for the
- 44:16Speaker 1: Devil coming out this year as doctor Peters. I'm super
- 44:19Speaker 1: excited to see her in this movie. And then we've
- 44:22Speaker 1: got Tony Todd is candy Man, a whopping two hundred
- 44:26Speaker 1: and fifty one acting credits. Obviously, this is probably what
- 44:31Speaker 1: he's most known for. I would say, but he's also
- 44:33Speaker 1: in you know, the subsequent movies Candyman two and three,
- 44:36Speaker 1: candy Man two, Farewell to the Flesh, and The Candy
- 44:38Speaker 1: Man three. Day of the Dead. He's also in Wish
- 44:41Speaker 1: Masters Johnny. He's also in Hatchet as the Voodoo tour
- 44:47Speaker 1: guide or something. I think.
- 44:48Speaker 2: Also in a movie I just want rewatched recently, Michael
- 44:51Speaker 2: Babe action film was called.
- 44:53Speaker 1: The Rock with oh yeah, Welcome to the Right Yeah.
- 44:55Speaker 1: And then he's also in Final Destination as Bloodworth. So
- 44:58Speaker 1: man has acted. He's done some things and some stuff.
- 45:01Speaker 1: He's also in hell Fest as like the Carnival Leader guy.
- 45:04Speaker 1: He is fucking everything.
- 45:06Speaker 2: He pops up in like almost every horror he's he's
- 45:08Speaker 2: just there.
- 45:08Speaker 1: Even if he's not on screen, he's in the background somewhere.
- 45:11Speaker 2: Yes, everything, he's there, he's there.
- 45:13Speaker 1: We then have Xander Berkeley as Trevor Lyle, who has
- 45:16Speaker 1: also two hundred and fifty acting credits.
- 45:19Speaker 2: That's also everywhere everywhere.
- 45:20Speaker 1: He was in Terminator too. Is Todd Voight Air Force
- 45:24Speaker 1: one as Agent Gibbs, and Shanghai Noon as Van Cleef.
- 45:27Speaker 1: Like talk about three awesome movies.
- 45:31Speaker 2: The first taken.
- 45:32Speaker 1: Yeah, he's He's everywhere, everywhere, He's everywhere. And then we
- 45:35Speaker 1: come to the other two people, that is, the stars
- 45:38Speaker 1: that really haven't been a much Casey Lemons is Bernadette
- 45:41Speaker 1: Walls thirty two acting credits. She was in Silence of
- 45:44Speaker 1: the Lambs is Adrial Map. That's the only thing I
- 45:46Speaker 1: could find that was like a big name. And last,
- 45:48Speaker 1: but not at least, we have Vanessa Williams as Anne
- 45:50Speaker 1: Marie McCoy, who has seventy nine acting credits and was
- 45:52Speaker 1: also in New Jack City as Keisha, And apparently she
- 45:55Speaker 1: was also in the Candyman remake from last year as
- 45:58Speaker 1: the same character. I just must have missed who she
- 46:00Speaker 1: was in that.
- 46:01Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure she was the main actor's mother. That
- 46:06Speaker 2: that makes sense, Yeah, because I mean, I mean other
- 46:09Speaker 2: than I mean, obviously the original or the remake was
- 46:12Speaker 2: a primately like black cast, but there wasn't a lot
- 46:14Speaker 2: of females actually shown on the screen besides the girl,
- 46:17Speaker 2: the girlfriend, and the mom. I'm pretty sure the mom,
- 46:20Speaker 2: because the mom was the one who told the backstory.
- 46:22Speaker 2: Oh yeah, pretty positive that.
- 46:24Speaker 1: Yeah, so she's in that, which I thought was really cool.
- 46:27Speaker 1: This says an estimated bunchet of six million dollars worldwide
- 46:30Speaker 1: box office crowns A twenty five point eight, which is
- 46:32Speaker 1: pretty solid. I mean, you made your money back four
- 46:34Speaker 1: times over, so that's awesome. Movies was filmed in Chicago, Illinois,
- 46:38Speaker 1: and then various parts of La California for studio stuff.
- 46:40Speaker 1: As typically as you do. You can also watch it
- 46:43Speaker 1: on Peacock Premium or AMC Plus, or you can watch
- 46:46Speaker 1: the four K if you own that, or you can
- 46:48Speaker 1: watch the Blue Ravo. And then if you don't own it,
- 46:49Speaker 1: maybe you should buy it. I say you should buy it.
- 46:52Speaker 1: Please sponsor me. Shout factory movies that came out aund
- 46:56Speaker 1: the same time. We've got Captain Ron fucking awesome, Kurt
- 47:00Speaker 1: awesome movie. I love that movie. Last of the Mohicans,
- 47:03Speaker 1: Glenn Gary, Glen Garry, Glenn Ross, The Mighty Ducks, Doctor Giggles, Aladdin, Brownstirgus, Racula,
- 47:08Speaker 1: and Malcolm X. Pretty solid movie is there for nineteen
- 47:12Speaker 1: ninety two Ross? I could think it was is Zach
- 47:15Speaker 1: and Mary Megaporn. Yeah, I know, let's not let's not
- 47:18Speaker 1: go there. Everyone who knows what we're talking about will
- 47:21Speaker 1: know exactly what justin long We'll just leave it at that.
- 47:24Speaker 1: Leave it there. Yeap, why'd you have to say.
- 47:27Speaker 2: That it was the fault?
- 47:28Speaker 1: You could have you could have I put that in there,
- 47:31Speaker 1: and I was like, he's gonna fucking make a joke
- 47:32Speaker 1: about that.
- 47:33Speaker 2: You have to put that in there.
- 47:35Speaker 1: Put it in there for you so of a picture.
- 47:36Speaker 2: Well, then there you go.
- 47:38Speaker 1: It worked all right. Did you have any specific horror moments?
- 47:42Speaker 2: Uh, it was more of a like audio like specific
- 47:47Speaker 2: audio audio. So when they explained to Virginia Madison what
- 47:52Speaker 2: happened to said Candy Man, it was all audio, like
- 47:57Speaker 2: you hear it, like saying it, but you hear him screaming,
- 47:59Speaker 2: but you don't see anything visuals on audio. I'm like,
- 48:01Speaker 2: that's pretty horrific what they did to him.
- 48:03Speaker 1: Yeah, so that I think you actually do get a
- 48:05Speaker 1: visual of that, and favorwell to the Flesh and the
- 48:07Speaker 1: sequel because I remember that. Oh yeah, I remember seeing
- 48:12Speaker 1: a visual of Tony Todd, you know, getting the arm
- 48:14Speaker 1: cut off, and I'm pretty sure that's in the second one.
- 48:16Speaker 1: Maybe I just had a fever dream. I don't know.
- 48:19Speaker 1: My specific horror moment is we'll get to it. But
- 48:22Speaker 1: when she wakes up in Annie's house.
- 48:23Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, holy shit, I was like, my god.
- 48:27Speaker 1: Like I don't know why, but I totally forgot about
- 48:29Speaker 1: that scene on this watch and I was like, oh, yeah,
- 48:31Speaker 1: this partially fucked up. Uh favorite kill? Did you have
- 48:35Speaker 1: her favorite kill? You know?
- 48:37Speaker 2: Funny enough, there wasn't a lot of like kills in
- 48:40Speaker 2: this movie, not on screen.
- 48:41Speaker 1: Not on screen.
- 48:45Speaker 2: What comes to my mind is more what I mean,
- 48:49Speaker 2: it was a quick visual. It was more audio.
- 48:51Speaker 1: Two.
- 48:51Speaker 2: What happened to uh the first kid in the in
- 48:53Speaker 2: the bathroom? Yeah, yeah, like like I remember that that,
- 48:58Speaker 2: but when I watched it this time, I was like, oh,
- 49:01Speaker 2: that's what happened to him?
- 49:02Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah that yeah, well, and yeah that's that's we're
- 49:05Speaker 1: gonna talk about that too. So that one, I'd say
- 49:08Speaker 1: that was that was on my favorite kill until the
- 49:10Speaker 1: guy the psych ward died because like he just like
- 49:12Speaker 1: rips his.
- 49:13Speaker 2: Back up and that was that was my follow up.
- 49:15Speaker 2: That would be my fall.
- 49:16Speaker 1: Yeah. I was gonna also say one, but it's like
- 49:20Speaker 1: literally the last one, so it's a spoiler that one's
- 49:22Speaker 1: also really good. Yeah, but yeah, definitely guy at the
- 49:25Speaker 1: psych word because Can'tyman pops out of nowhere and rips
- 49:27Speaker 1: that guy to shreds? Uh your favorite character.
- 49:32Speaker 2: I mean, I mean I like the main character.
- 49:33Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna have Virginia.
- 49:34Speaker 2: I mean there's not I mean there like there is,
- 49:37Speaker 2: there are characters in there, but there really aren't characters
- 49:39Speaker 2: in there. Like I feel like there's yeah, Tontas, Candy Man,
- 49:44Speaker 2: and Virginia.
- 49:46Speaker 1: I go with Bernadette. I like Bernadette, like her, she
- 49:49Speaker 1: was nice. At least. Favorite character is Trevor. He's a
- 49:52Speaker 1: cheating bag. He's a cheating bag of ship fucked that guy.
- 49:56Speaker 1: Uh didn't really have a favorite line because you know,
- 49:58Speaker 1: as some horror movies just don't have funny lines.
- 50:01Speaker 2: Man, I have a favorite line, but I I the
- 50:04Speaker 2: basically basically uh anytime the first encounter between Virginia Madsi's.
- 50:09Speaker 1: Character and when he's like that I'm the writing on
- 50:11Speaker 1: the wall, like the whole thing.
- 50:13Speaker 2: Yeah, I did like that line, but I guess monologue.
- 50:16Speaker 1: Yeah that was pretty awesome, like I'm the writing on
- 50:18Speaker 1: the wall.
- 50:18Speaker 2: You're like, yeah, it's like all and it was all
- 50:22Speaker 2: like like Basie and Spacey, so it was all.
- 50:24Speaker 1: Just yeah, it was all just like, yeah, something is
- 50:27Speaker 1: very full.
- 50:27Speaker 2: I was like yes, so so so none. I don't
- 50:30Speaker 2: really have a line but like monologue, that.
- 50:32Speaker 1: Little speech he had. Yeah, let's see here, I'm tb summary.
- 50:35Speaker 1: The candy man and murderous soul with a hook for
- 50:37Speaker 1: a hand is accidentally summoned by some into reality by
- 50:41Speaker 1: a skeptic grad student researching the monsters myth. So we're
- 50:44Speaker 1: gonna just jump right into this on the topic of
- 50:47Speaker 1: the grad student researching the monsters myth, that is Helen
- 50:51Speaker 1: and her and Bernie have been interviewing various people around
- 50:55Speaker 1: town about urban legend type stories. One woman that Helen
- 50:58Speaker 1: interviews talks about candy Man, this mythical guy with the
- 51:01Speaker 1: hook for a hand legend goes that if he will
- 51:03Speaker 1: appear behind you, if you look into the mirror and
- 51:05Speaker 1: say his name five times, And she goes on to
- 51:08Speaker 1: say that her I believe they were friends, but Clara
- 51:11Speaker 1: and Billy they're like dating. And also Billy, by the way,
- 51:14Speaker 1: is ted Ramie just a little fucking cameo, a little
- 51:17Speaker 1: baby ted Ramy love it? She dares Billy, She's like,
- 51:21Speaker 1: you know, go in there, say say the name five times.
- 51:24Speaker 1: Billy goes in there and they say the name four times,
- 51:26Speaker 1: and then right after he says it the four time,
- 51:28Speaker 1: he stops and she turns around. She's like, no one
- 51:30Speaker 1: ever gets to five. And then of course she goes
- 51:32Speaker 1: downstairs and looks in another mirror and it's like Candy
- 51:35Speaker 1: Man for the fifth time turns off a light and
- 51:38Speaker 1: fucking goosh, Candyman kills her, kills the kid she was babysitting,
- 51:42Speaker 1: and then Billy manages to escape. So that was like,
- 51:45Speaker 1: that's a pretty metal intro, which is pretty interesting. So
- 51:48Speaker 1: then we are introduced to Bernie, which is Helen's friend.
- 51:52Speaker 1: They're doing the same thing. They're doing a master thesis
- 51:54Speaker 1: involving modern fork folklore forlklore folklore. Her husband, Trevor, he's
- 52:01Speaker 1: a university professor, and she's very suspicious of his frivolous
- 52:06Speaker 1: activities of being out leats and uh, we kind of
- 52:10Speaker 1: get the vibe right off the bat that there is
- 52:12Speaker 1: some turmoil between them because we all know he's a
- 52:16Speaker 1: cheating but his name is Trevor. Okay, I'm just saying
- 52:21Speaker 1: I'm just a white guy, That's what I'm saying. Like,
- 52:25Speaker 1: all right, yeah, he sounds like, you know, it's like
- 52:27Speaker 1: the modern day Kyle, Like I don't like you. Let's
- 52:30Speaker 1: see here. Oh yeah, So she Helen later reviews a
- 52:34Speaker 1: recorded conversation of the lady talking about Candyman. That cleaning
- 52:37Speaker 1: woman comes up behind her and she's like, oh, I
- 52:39Speaker 1: heard about Candy Man. And then she's like, my friend
- 52:41Speaker 1: you know knows has a story about him. So she
- 52:44Speaker 1: calls in this lady named Kitty, who tells her that
- 52:47Speaker 1: the murders have taken place in this place, in this
- 52:49Speaker 1: place called Cabrini Green, Chicago. The people of Cabrini Green,
- 52:54Speaker 1: Cabrini Green, that is hard to say, Cabrini Green. They've
- 52:57Speaker 1: attributed all these deaths in the neighborhood to Candy Man,
- 53:00Speaker 1: as the victims were butchered with the weapon that was
- 53:02Speaker 1: determined to be a hook. So everyone is scared of
- 53:05Speaker 1: this man. I mean I would be too. A guy
- 53:07Speaker 1: with the hook for a hand sounds pretty pretty horrific,
- 53:10Speaker 1: especially with all those bees all over him. The bees,
- 53:13Speaker 1: the bees. I'm gonna pass on that. So then the
- 53:16Speaker 1: mention of these murders leads Helen to research and archive newspapers.
- 53:19Speaker 1: She finds out the names of the victims, and even
- 53:22Speaker 1: more intriguing, she finds out that her apartment building was
- 53:25Speaker 1: designed exactly like Cabrini Green, and it was actually intended
- 53:28Speaker 1: for another housing development, but eventually the idea was scrapped
- 53:31Speaker 1: because the area of town they were in was too desirable,
- 53:34Speaker 1: so they turned them into luxury condos, which is where
- 53:36Speaker 1: Helen lives. And Cabrini Green is basically the same exact model,
- 53:41Speaker 1: but it's in the poorer part of town because they
- 53:45Speaker 1: wanted to separate, like you know, like I said, the
- 53:47Speaker 1: part of town was too desirable, so they pushed that
- 53:49Speaker 1: to a lesser part of town to keep it away
- 53:51Speaker 1: from all the nice stuff typical gentrification honestly, which is
- 53:56Speaker 1: really kind of sad when that happens. So do do
- 54:00Speaker 1: do do Helen? You know? So Helen at this point,
- 54:02Speaker 1: she's aware that her units and the building are connected
- 54:05Speaker 1: to each other because she goes to her medicine cabinet.
- 54:08Speaker 1: Did they do you remember why she does this? Did
- 54:10Speaker 1: she find floor plans or something? But she somehow she
- 54:13Speaker 1: realizes that her she like just takes off the medicine
- 54:15Speaker 1: cabinet and I was like, why did she because like
- 54:17Speaker 1: there's a whole ass apartment behind hers. I just don't
- 54:20Speaker 1: remember why she did that. Oh, when she went to
- 54:23Speaker 1: Cabrini Green, No, in her own apartment. She like was like,
- 54:25Speaker 1: watch this, and she pulls out the medicine cabinet and
- 54:27Speaker 1: she pushes the thing and she's like, don't do that,
- 54:29Speaker 1: don't do that.
- 54:30Speaker 2: It was probably just it was probably just she assumed
- 54:35Speaker 2: because of the connection. I guess because of the where
- 54:37Speaker 2: they went to Cabrini Green where the first murder was
- 54:40Speaker 2: like there was like a whole of stuff there. So
- 54:43Speaker 2: she was like seeing if it was really how it
- 54:45Speaker 2: was really connected, and it probably was just more of
- 54:47Speaker 2: an assumption.
- 54:48Speaker 1: Yeah, because she opened So she opens her medicine cabinet first,
- 54:51Speaker 1: and then that reveals a space that links her apartments,
- 54:53Speaker 1: and she knows that Cabrini Green's apartments are the same
- 54:56Speaker 1: because they're the same, or she assumes that they are
- 54:58Speaker 1: the same because they're based on the same designs, which
- 55:00Speaker 1: again I don't know how she found. So then she
- 55:04Speaker 1: and then yeah, so the Greens apartment must be the same,
- 55:06Speaker 1: and the stories of Candy Man coming out of the
- 55:08Speaker 1: medicine chest should indicate a human assailant who has also
- 55:12Speaker 1: made the discovery. So she takes Bernadette in that night
- 55:15Speaker 1: in the mirror after she puts her fucking mirror back.
- 55:18Speaker 1: They say candy Man's four times and then they stop,
- 55:21Speaker 1: and then Helen finishes it by saying candy man one
- 55:23Speaker 1: last time. So Helen doesn't say it, or Bernadette doesn't
- 55:26Speaker 1: say it, but Helen does. And this is kind of
- 55:28Speaker 1: where I want your input, is, like, so, why didn't
- 55:31Speaker 1: she die immediately? You know, because like the first girl
- 55:33Speaker 1: said candyman the fifth time she turned the light off, goose,
- 55:36Speaker 1: and then she said at the fifth time, maybe because
- 55:38Speaker 1: she didn't turn the light out, I don't know, but
- 55:40Speaker 1: she didn't die. So I'm wondering if there's an explanation
- 55:44Speaker 1: for that, or if it's just a further so or
- 55:48Speaker 1: maybe you know, the first story was just the like
- 55:50Speaker 1: like it was like folklore, you know what I mean,
- 55:52Speaker 1: Like it's not actually accounted for. This is just like
- 55:54Speaker 1: what Maybe that's what it was, because if they opened
- 55:57Speaker 1: it up.
- 55:57Speaker 2: That way and gave us like a twenty minute expose
- 56:00Speaker 2: of this, than you know, half the movie's already done,
- 56:02Speaker 2: so I get, yeah, that's probably just what they did
- 56:04Speaker 2: is just to be like, so, this is what happens
- 56:07Speaker 2: when you do this. Yeah, maybe not so fast, but
- 56:09Speaker 2: like so.
- 56:11Speaker 1: Fast Okay, so I guess that doesn't make sense. So, yeah,
- 56:13Speaker 1: she doesn't die like the girl did in the beginning.
- 56:16Speaker 1: But the next day they go to Kabrina Green, which
- 56:18Speaker 1: is a very rundown, like a complex whatever you want
- 56:22Speaker 1: to call it. There's graffiti everywhere, blah blah blah. So
- 56:25Speaker 1: they eventually find the apartment of one of the murder
- 56:28Speaker 1: victims and they decide to go to the medicine cabinet.
- 56:30Speaker 1: And the medicine cabinet is just off already, so she
- 56:33Speaker 1: goes through and it's like this very elaborate layer with
- 56:37Speaker 1: what's on the walls like graffiti, and there's like the
- 56:40Speaker 1: look it literally looks like I'm pretty sure it's supposed
- 56:42Speaker 1: to resemble Tony Todd, but his you know, his face
- 56:44Speaker 1: and the mouth. Yeah that she like, you know, the
- 56:47Speaker 1: the uh medicine camint you pop out of to the
- 56:49Speaker 1: other side is like Tony Todd's big open mouth, or
- 56:52Speaker 1: at least that's what it looks like to me. So
- 56:55Speaker 1: then after that she's fascinated by it, but also, you know,
- 56:58Speaker 1: a little terrified. She also finds this alter that's constructed
- 57:01Speaker 1: there with like all this empty candy and shit, So
- 57:03Speaker 1: people are like bringing offerings to the candyman, which I
- 57:06Speaker 1: found quite interesting. And then after that they meet the
- 57:11Speaker 1: neighbor of the deceased lady, which is Anne Marie, and
- 57:14Speaker 1: she's kind of hostile towards them because, as she so
- 57:17Speaker 1: put it, you know, white people aren't really so handshaky
- 57:20Speaker 1: with us, so she's on alert, which, you know what,
- 57:24Speaker 1: I get it, fair, I get it. White people have
- 57:27Speaker 1: to stay shady shit they really are, so I totally
- 57:31Speaker 1: get it. But so yeah, she's kind of off put
- 57:34Speaker 1: by them, but then eventually lets them in and talks
- 57:37Speaker 1: about how she knows she wants to make a better
- 57:39Speaker 1: life for her son. This place she needs, you know,
- 57:41Speaker 1: she needs to get out of this place. And then
- 57:43Speaker 1: she remembers that night, like she tells about the night
- 57:45Speaker 1: when she heard the neighbor screaming, she called the cops.
- 57:47Speaker 1: No one came because it's that part of town, you know,
- 57:49Speaker 1: they don't they don't care, unfortunately, which is really sad.
- 57:52Speaker 1: So she's going through a really really struggling time living there,
- 57:56Speaker 1: which I mean, I get it. She's also a single
- 57:58Speaker 1: mother as well, raising a kid, which can be extremely tough.
- 58:03Speaker 1: So this is where he gets interesting and I really
- 58:05Speaker 1: like that. They finally go into more of the lore
- 58:07Speaker 1: of candy Man, because that night at dinner, when Helen
- 58:11Speaker 1: is with Trevor and some of her colleagues, one of
- 58:14Speaker 1: the guys goes into the strange backstory revealing what you were,
- 58:18Speaker 1: what you briefly touched on earlier, of how candy Man
- 58:22Speaker 1: was the son of a slave who had come into
- 58:24Speaker 1: a great deal of wealth due and invent due to
- 58:26Speaker 1: an invention that became hugely successful. Candy Man grew up
- 58:29Speaker 1: well schooled, comfortable. He was an artist. He was in
- 58:32Speaker 1: you know who was in high demand for wealthy people
- 58:35Speaker 1: to like paint portraits and stuff like that. And eventually
- 58:38Speaker 1: candy Man had an affair with one of the daughters
- 58:40Speaker 1: of his wealthy white clients. Then she became pregnant, and
- 58:44Speaker 1: then the man exacted terrified, like horrible revenge on him.
- 58:47Speaker 1: He sent goons to attack candy Man, cutting off his
- 58:50Speaker 1: right hand, stripping him nude, smearing him with honey like
- 58:53Speaker 1: honeycomb and honey and shit, and then releasing and angry
- 58:57Speaker 1: have a bees on him. And he was stung so
- 59:00Speaker 1: many times that he died Like Jesus Christ.
- 59:02Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty crazy. This ship's barbaric, don't sleep with
- 59:06Speaker 2: another man's don't.
- 59:07Speaker 1: Apparently not so, so that's that's the lore of how
- 59:12Speaker 1: you know he came to be, or that's how that's
- 59:15Speaker 1: how candy man like he was. You know, he was
- 59:16Speaker 1: a real person that died. So that's his backstory, which
- 59:20Speaker 1: is really cool. And somehow this intrigues Helen even more.
- 59:23Speaker 1: She goes back to the building on her own bold move,
- 59:26Speaker 1: would not be doing that, and then runs into Jake, who's, honestly,
- 59:29Speaker 1: he's probably my favorite character act to now I think
- 59:31Speaker 1: of it. Little Jake, the little guy, little guy, he's
- 59:35Speaker 1: so cute. So she's asking him for information. He's like,
- 59:38Speaker 1: I can't talk about it. She's like, we'll just show me,
- 59:40Speaker 1: like where it was, because she knows that someone died.
- 59:43Speaker 1: So that's when we get to the kid that died
- 59:46Speaker 1: in the bathroom, who was castrated and bled to death.
- 59:50Speaker 1: Fuck man, if you don't know what castration is, I
- 59:52Speaker 1: would say look it up, but don't. But essentially genitals
- 59:55Speaker 1: cut off, bleeding out, like that's not a good way
- 59:57Speaker 1: to go. The the other head, the underneath, the underneath,
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: the Yeah, and he was like a child too, so
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: that's fucking crazy. And I just left it in the
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: toilet and just left him there. Yeah, well I.
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: Left him in the bathroom, left les less is dingy
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: in the toilet.
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: Oh yeah, right, like come on. They pan over to that,
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: and you're like, oh god, this is horrifying. Uh So
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: she goes in there to take some pictures I guess
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: for research purposes. I don't know. And then that's when
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: the group of guys come in, like you know, I
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: guess Street Tufts, whatever you want to call him. One
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: of them is wielding a hook and he's like, you're
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: looking for candy man. You found him, and then bam
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: just knocks her out and this oh no, no it's
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: not coming yet. Sorry. So yeah, that was kind of
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: and they don't do anything to her, which I found
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: interesting because usually that would be a great seg. Not sorry,
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: not great segue, but that would be a segue. I
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: didn't mean to say it like that. Sorry, That is
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: like for movie making purposes, like a great segue to like,
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: you know, abuse a woman or rape a woman. And
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: I'm glad that they just they just left her, and
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: I'm like, thank you for not getting weird with it
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: and making it like about abusing women to they knock
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: her out, and then they just leave and I'm like,
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: I guess to show a message like don't come back here,
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: because they also think that her and her friend are cops.
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: Her and Bernadette they think they're cops because of how
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: they dress. So the next day she identifies the guy
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: that did this to her, who informs that the young
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: man who beat her is suspected of the previous murders.
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: He'd been using the legend of Candy Man to frighten
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: the residence of Cabrini Green into silence, and Helen's testimony
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: is gonna actually put him in jail. And then Helen
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: sees Jake at the police station. He's like, hey, thanks
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: for your help, explaining that her attacker was human and
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: that Candy Man is not real, and Jake's almost like
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: a mad at her. She's like, that was like that
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: was our secret. Liked you by'd you fuck around. So
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: it's revealed at this point that Okay, Candy Man was
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: just a real dude, Like that's it. He was a
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: real dude using this like folklore to you know, not
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: get caught or whatever. So that was pretty interesting turn
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: right there, because you know, you really think it's like
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: if you haven't seen this and you go and you're like, oh, okay,
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: that's kind of a disappointing like reveal. But sometime later,
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: when Helen's talking to Bernie, she's like, Hey, I'm kind
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: of upset by the fact that, you know, two black
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: people have died in this neighborhood and it's gone unnoticed. Meanwhile,
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: I get attacked by someone and they lock Cabrini Green down.
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: Like what because I'm white? She's like, I don't like
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: that makes me uncomfortable, which, yeah, it's like, how are
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: you gonna care about one person more than another person?
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: It's like, people are people are dying, and then this
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: one moment was just assaulted. It's like, you know, it's
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: just it's just weird how they don't seem to care,
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: and that really upsets her. So this is when Bernie
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: gives her the slides that Helen was assumed we're right
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: off after the attack in the men's room, because you know,
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: she had been knocked out and then she woke up
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: in or did was she? Yeah, she was knocked up,
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: but then the next scene was she was just her
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: in the police office station, right, yes, Okay, So she
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: thought those were done. But on the way back to
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: her car, she's looking at the slides. We suddenly see
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: Canny Man for the first time, which is like forty
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: three minutes into the movie, and they have that really
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: cool altercation where he's like standing far away and he's
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: got that like kind of deep booming voice and.
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: Parking garage. So I, yeah, so the making an echo,
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: and I think it's just super cool.
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: Yeah, the way they did it was great. So she's
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: trying to you know, she's he's talking to her like,
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: you know, you don't know me, but you doubted me,
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: and she's he's like, you know, like I want you
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: to be my victim, as almost if he was like
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: speaking to a lover. It's very weird. And then she
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: just like completely like like her eyes rolled back in
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: her head and then she passes out. This is when
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: shit hits the fan, because if like, if you're going
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: into this blind, it is it is a lot because
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: she awakens in a bathroom and she doesn't know where
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: she is, and she soon realizes once she wakes up
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: that she's in Anne Marie's apartment and Helen is completely
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: covered in blood. Anne Marie's screaming, bloody murder in the
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: next room, and uh, she notices a meat cleaver right
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: next to her, so she picks that up as I
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: would too, because like, fuck, I don't I just woke
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: up bloody. And when she goes out of the bathroom,
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: she sees the dog that Anne Marie had decapitated. So
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: there's just a big old Rottwiler head on the floor
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: with a bunch of blood all over the place. And
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: then Anne Marie is over her son's crib screaming because
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: the kid is gone. She sees a bunch of blood
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: in the crib, and there's a bunch of blood in
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: the crib exactly. So Anne Marie sees Helen and just
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: like starts to attack her because she obviously thinks she's
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: the culprit, and this ends up with them on a
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: tussle and a tussle on the ground, and then you know,
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: Helen just strikes her with the cleaver because she's no,
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: she's just self defending at that point because she's just
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: as confused as she is. And that's when police break
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: through the door surround Helen, and they don't show it,
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: but they bring her to the precinct and This is
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: when she's humiliated by having to strip naked in front
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: of an officer. Been there, done that. Not fun, not fun.
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: Don't ever do that, Kid's stay out of jail. Don't
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: do that. It's not fun. They make you do every
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: like they make you squat open your butt cheeks. It's horrible.
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: Don't do it. Don't do it. So, yeah, she's kind
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: of embarrassing, and I would be embarrassed too. She's completely
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: covered in blood. She's confused, covered in blood like people
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: are dead, someone's missing, like you know, there's there's a
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: lot going on that you know she's and she's kind
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: of just in shock. She's not like hysterical or anything.
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: She's just like her She's got like wide eyes and
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: she's sobbing, and she just has no idea what's going on,
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: as as you would if you woke up in the
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: same way. So later, Detective Valentino or sorry Valento, he's
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: very angry with her. Uh and because you know, they
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: think everyone thinks that she's responsible for the attack. I mean,
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: she's the only person there. She's got blood all over her.
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: So she's like, let me make a phone call. I
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: gotta call Trevor. She calls Trevor, only to discover that
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: he's not home, even though it's three in the fucking morning.
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: So that's suspicious. If the the if it wasn't confirmed
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: that he was cheating, it's definitely confirmed now. And then
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: the next day he finally comes for Helen and he
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: takes her home, and her lawyers like, hey, they released
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: you because you know, they think the body's a child's
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: body is gonna turn up. They're gonna get you with
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: murder one, but it's probably not gonna happen. Helen is
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: like kind of comforted, but can't comprehend what's going on her.
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: And then she questions Trevor later that night, like where
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: were you at three am? And he's like, oh, I
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: was sleeping, but we all saw. We all saw the
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: empty bed. We saw we saw the empty bed, Trevor,
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: You're not feeling anybody. So the next day, looking at
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: more slides of Cabrini Green, she's able to see Candy
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: Man standing behind her in one shot, even though she
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: knows he wasn't there when she took the picture. And
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: then this is when he pops out of them, like
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: his fucking I love this scene because his arm pops
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: out of the medicine chest, so she runs to the hallway.
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: She opens the door, he's standing in the hallway and
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: then she goes back inside to try to call nine
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: to one one and then he's standing right behind her.
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: It was just such a cool montage and it was
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: all one take too, so it's really cool. It was
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: really very well done. So he talks to her again.
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: He's like, hey, I've got the child. Of course, he says,
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: it way cooler than I'm doing. But he's like, I
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: have the child. If you come with me, I'll let
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: the child go. But if you don't come with me,
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: then the child dies. And it's like, this is shitty
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: both ways. I don't like either one of these. And
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: that's when she hears someone knocking at the door and
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: it's Bernie and I think I'm probably gonna even here.
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: I don't know. I kind of want to keep going.
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: Uh oh, that's a pretty decent spot, because this is
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: when I mean has already hit the Fani. This is
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: when the ship starts.
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: Yeah, I won't, I won't continue with that altercation. But
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: Helen does black out again, and she wakes up handcuffed
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: to a gurney, being given injections, and uh, she breaks
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: free from where she's at and sees sees a scene.
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: I'll just say that, and then she's she's taken away
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: to a psychiatric ward. And when she's put in this
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: room by herself, she it's a really cool shot of
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: Candy Man hovering above her, like, yeah, she's laying flat
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: down on a gurney and he comes like from the ceiling,
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: flat down of her and says cool, awesome, creepy shit,
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: and uh, he's like, you belong to me now. And
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: of course when she screams for help and the medics
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: come in, they can't see Candy Man. It's only Helen.
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: So that's where I'll leave it there. She's in a
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: psychiatric word because a lot of things have happened around her,
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: and she's the only one to point the finger at. Unfortunately,
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: because no one can see this Candy Man, she keeps
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: thinking exists. So overall thoughts, impressions, feelings on this watch.
- 1:08:29Speaker 2: Through Sir Sam as the first time or the first
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: couple of times. I don't remember if this was my
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: third or fourth or whatever. It was my second log,
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: second log, my second log, but uh, same feelings that
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: I had the first time, which are I liked, I like,
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: I like, I enjoyed? There is now you know of
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: watching the you know, after we watched the remake, and
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: I've seen the remake a few times since this came out. Now,
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: there are a couple of things in this that they
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: included plot points for the remake that make me actually
- 1:09:04Speaker 2: appreciate the remake a little bit more. Yeah, which so
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: for instance, without giving it just just in case no
- 1:09:09Speaker 2: one's seen the remake yet or gunning around to it.
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: But uh, in the original this one they mentioned, you know,
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: he was a paint airport and stuff whatever. The main
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: character in the in the remake is a painter and
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: you know, getting obsessed with the paintings when all the
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: ship starts happening to So there are and also of
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: Vanessa Williams in this one is the main character's mom
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: and the new one, which is how they're connecting the
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: original to this one without it being a remake, but
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: like again another just like the hell Raisers are reimagining,
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: there is some connection there, but it is its own movie.
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: Yeah, So there are a couple of things in this
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: movie that even though I already I gave the newest
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: one of five, you can't like, like five out of five,
- 1:09:54Speaker 2: I still appreciate. Maybe I appreciate this one a little
- 1:09:57Speaker 2: bit more for that, even though the other one for
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: Wright and Wise. Obviously the writers of the remake did
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: their homework and maybe this was all coincidental't like with
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: the with the with the the painter. Uh, because they're
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: in New York in this one, which you know, a
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: lot of people in New York are either actors or
- 1:10:11Speaker 2: painters really or some type of artists. So oh yeah,
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: I went, I went, I went proper in that one.
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: But uh, well, Cabrini Green is still mentioned in the sequel,
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: so I don't. I don't know if they're in New York.
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: I don't know, because I know they still talk about
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: Cabrini Green.
- 1:10:28Speaker 2: That's true, and he actually never mind, uh and he
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: actually goes there to take pictures for his art style.
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: I just yeah, I just don't. I just don't know
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: where it's actually set, but I know.
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: Made Field, New York. I guess where they actually live.
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: It made me feel in the new one, it made
- 1:10:39Speaker 2: me feel New York.
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: Well yeah, because they're in like a penthouse almost like
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: it just made it feel like New York type. But yeah, no,
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: I totally didn't realize that. Yeah, that that is that
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: is pretty cool.
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: The art gallery basically, yeah, basically the plot of this movie,
- 1:10:52Speaker 2: all the stuff that really goes down is surrounded around,
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: uh the art gallery. When he starts putting his ship
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: out there. Yeah, and he's painting and then gets obsessed
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: with the paintings and you know, later on in life,
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: later on life, later on in the movie, most of
- 1:11:06Speaker 2: his paintings are just different I guess, I guess what
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: they got in the movie, or different candy manser. They're
- 1:11:13Speaker 2: like you see twenty todds like portrait and you see
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: another like three or four African American males face on
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: there as well, which can all be uh be considered
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: a different version of Candyman. Because the and the remake
- 1:11:27Speaker 2: reimagine whatever you want to call it. It's kind of
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: explained that, just like you know, and like James Bond
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: or stuff like this, like candy Man is not just
- 1:11:36Speaker 2: one person. It's it's it's like, I mean, it's a legend.
- 1:11:39Speaker 2: So they kind of like hand it down like generation
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: and generation type of scenario, right, just like you know
- 1:11:45Speaker 2: and James Wone double seven. Double seven is just the number.
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: He's not that person, Like you can name anybody double seven,
- 1:11:51Speaker 2: which so I know completely do different movies, but like
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: the same idea was there. So so I think it
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: makes me appreciate the new one even more, even though
- 1:12:01Speaker 2: I appreciate the hell of it already. Yeah, because it
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: seems like they took plot elements that were just talked
- 1:12:09Speaker 2: about in the original and put it into flourish as
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: the plot points in the new one, which if that's
- 1:12:17Speaker 2: if that's indeed what they did, that's fucking cool.
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: Yeah, And there's a lot of ways. I think it's
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: hard to talk about because I don't want to spoil it,
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: but there's a lot of ways you can take the
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: new one too, because how they tell the story, it leads,
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: it leads to multiple ways that could Like I don't
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: know if there's actually like a solid It's so hard
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: to explain on what I'm saying, but I don't know
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: if there's an actual, like solid way they're trying to
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: tell the story, or if it's kind of interpretive and
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: you can kind of make what you wanted it. Because
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: I have plenty of like I have a couple of
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: different theories I think is what's going on. But it's
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: just it's so well done. And also it's actually really
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: cool too because they only say the main character's name
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: five times in that movie yep, before because yeah, because
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: of it's really it's a very subtle thing. But yeah,
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: his name is said five time times before like the whole.
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: Thought it thought so brilliant, and I thought the ending
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: of that movie was The remake was just perfect.
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: Yeah, everything about that was perfect. The score was set,
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: the tone, I love, the camera work, the acting was phenomenal,
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: the goal was there, like it was. It was literally
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: how to do a sequel or like remake, requel, whatever
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: you want to call it. Perfectly it was perfect. So yeah,
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: on this rewatch for me. I actually I only had
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: this at a three and a half from last time,
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: which is interesting because I thought I had it out
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: a four, but I was like so entranced this time.
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: I don't know if I was just picking up more
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: things or if I wasn't really paying attention the first
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: few times I watched it.
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: Sh It's so funny because you know, like you've seen
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: this a few times, so of I like with is
- 1:13:41Speaker 2: some General's movies. It's so funny how like you literalize
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: you just pick out something and it just makes it.
- 1:13:46Speaker 2: You're just enjoying it more like there could have just
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: been that one small detail. Yeah, you never picked up,
- 1:13:50Speaker 2: and then all a sudden you pick it. Were like,
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: that's cool.
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: I just I guess I never really watched it and
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: really paid attention to what was going on. I think
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: I just watched it and just let it happen. But
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: I was like picking it apart. Plus I was taking
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: notes on it usually when I watched movies for the podcast,
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: I obviously noticed the most. And I think I was
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: also alone, like Gabby was watching something else in another room,
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: so I think just how it was happening, I was like,
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: this is actually like a fucking amazing movie. Because for
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: some reason, I don't know why it was at three
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: and a half. I still don't know where I'm rating it.
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: It's obviously going to be higher. I don't know if
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: I'm where I'm at just yet, and I'm gonna have
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: to sit on it for a little bit. But I
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: really enjoyed it. I don't feel like it drags it all.
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: I mean, it's only about you know, it's just under
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: one hundred minutes, it's like an hour thirty eight. Performances
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: all around are good. Just a story in general, and
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: how it progresses is great. I love the ending. It's
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: just very I feel like they just had a lot
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: of fun with that ending, like you know what I mean,
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: Like someone wrote that down, someone was proud of that ending,
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: because I was like, that is a solid way to
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: just cap the whole thing off. But just overall, it
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: was just such a pleasant experience. So what did you write?
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: What did you give it?
- 1:14:52Speaker 2: I give it the same thing I did well the
- 1:14:54Speaker 2: first time I logged it was three five, So, I
- 1:14:56Speaker 2: mean I thought it was a great movie. I really did,
- 1:14:59Speaker 2: but I didn't think it was anything soup Like I
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: didn't catch anything like new I guess. I mean I've
- 1:15:05Speaker 2: seen it a handful of times in general, but yeah,
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: like I didn't think it was anything like super amazing.
- 1:15:11Speaker 2: I mean, like I said, I thought it was great,
- 1:15:13Speaker 2: and I think a three point five is is great.
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I'm just gonna give it a four
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: because I know, you know, I gave the other one
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: a five. So let's see. I've got trivia and shit
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: on my phone because I forgot to put it on
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: the sheet because that happens, all right, So let's see here, trivia.
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: There's actually some pretty cool shit on this. So the
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: bees were bred specifically for this movie. They needed to
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: make sure that the bees were only twelve hours old,
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: so they looked like mature bees, but their stinger would
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: not be powerful enough to do any real damage. That's cool.
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: Exterior hallway and stairway scenes were actually filmed for a
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: few days in the infamous Cabrini Green housing projects. The
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: producers had to make a deal with the ruling gang
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: members to put in put them in the movie as
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: extras to ensure the cast and cruse safety during film.
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: Even with this arrangement, a sniper put a bullet through
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: the production van on the last day of filming, though
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: no one was injured. Holy shit. Tony Todd negotiated a
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: bonus of one thousand dollars for every beasting he suffered
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: during filming, So he got twenty three thousand dollars because
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: he was stung twenty three times.
- 1:16:14Speaker 2: Nice. That's that's how you negotiation.
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how you do it. That's fucking brilliant. The
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: film's opening credits feature a great aerial view of Chicago,
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: which was pretty revolutionary for its time.
- 1:16:24Speaker 2: Maybe that's where the remake is in Chicago. Yeah, probably, yeah,
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: probably because they kind it like New York and Chicago.
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: They can Yeah, they can be confused for sure.
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: Quote, we did that with an incredible new machine called
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: the skycam, which can shoot up to a five hundred
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: millimeter lens with no vibration. Bernard Rose told The Independent,
- 1:16:41Speaker 1: You've never seen that shot before, or at least not
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: done that smoothly, So that was pretty cool. Whenever Candy
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: Man is walking, his footsteps have no sounds, signifying his
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: status as rumor and mythology powered by superstition come to life.
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: On the DVD commentary, Alan Poles said that Virginia Manson,
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: had Virginia Virginia Manson been unavailable, that part of Helen
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: would have gone to the most likely gone to the
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: unknown Sandra Bullock. That would have been a different movie.
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: That would have been a way different movie.
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: Yeah. But now that you say that, it makes me
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: think of, oh, what is the It's not it's more
- 1:17:17Speaker 2: of a psychological thriller, but the movie The Net that
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: she was in soon as the said central Bullock, I
- 1:17:22Speaker 2: don't know why but the first movie I thought of
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: that where her acting would come into play in this
- 1:17:27Speaker 2: movie would have been the net that Yeah.
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: Interesting for the scene in which bees Phil Candyman's chest
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: cavity bees were placed in a special body appliance which
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: was filled off stage and strapped to Tony Todd's chest.
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: Utmost care was taken to be gentle and placing the
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: bees properly for the scene and then collecting them afterwards.
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: Originally scripted, candy Man's name was to be called thirteen times,
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: but writer and director Burtnard Rose reduced it to five.
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 1:17:51Speaker 2: I thank You's half the movie saying his name, thank.
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: You got two goofs. Here sixty four minutes in, when
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: Helen was having her medical injection, the needle bends on
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: her shoulder.
- 1:18:00Speaker 2: I did notice.
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: And when Helen is in the public toilet, sunlight have
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: you seen coming through the windows yet? At the camera
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: cuts outside to Jake, it is very overcast? Fun stuff. Uh,
- 1:18:11Speaker 1: this has a standby one second. This has a six
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: point seven on the IMDb's and a three point seven
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: on the letterbox. You gave it a three to five.
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it a four because I appreciated it
- 1:18:27Speaker 1: just a little bit more this time. Absolutely love this movie.
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: Definitely need to go watch the remake now because I've
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: only watched that one time. I need to go rewatch
