• 0:27
  Speaker 1: What's up and welcome to Movie Meltdown. I'm Brian and
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: we are back to round out this Fear Street trilogy
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: of terror that has continued over the last couple of episodes.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: And this time we are going back to the olden,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: olden times as we get the backstory of our witch
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: in question. And then we come crashing back to the
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: modern era, which of course is the 90s, to finish
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: out this story. So if you're not already a member,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: obviously this is the time to get on board. Join
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the Meltdown Horror Club and you'll hear us say awesome
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: things like this.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I think it's about time to get some popcorn and
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: start watching the next movie.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Now we're back to book learning.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I will tell you the story of the fears and
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: the goods and why there was a curse.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Well, I already had issues like when I saw them
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: come up on the Netflix before I even knew how
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: they were spacing it out. And I was like, ooh,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the 90s, cool.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Ooh, the 70s, cool.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: 16. I was like, what? That just seems like such
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: a weird turn to take.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: This is not going to have an awesome soundtrack.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we were a little upset about that because I
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: believe Jayu said it wasn't true to the time. Yeah.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Because you remember back in the 1600s.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, as a person that was around in the 1600s,
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: I didn't.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Feel that it was true.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: They just overloaded it with so many of the hits
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: of the day.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Didn't capture the loot playing.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Back in the 1600s, back when they were trying to
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: plot this bullshit out.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: This is like learning.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I will tell you, there was a
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: trilogy and there was a little spin-off. It was the
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Fear Street Saga. The Betrayal, The Secret, the... whatever the
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: last one was.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: I never, like, ever liked the whole... Yonder Days movies and.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: The little villages.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the little village movies.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: I mean, unless there's like Hobbits or fucking Knights or something.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: I don't care about witch trials, because it's all the
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: same thing. It's always a bunch of.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: We've been to Salem.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: We've seen this. We've been to Salem, yeah. It's always
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: a bunch of townspeople. Duffy old white dudes being pissed off. Yeah,
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: you know, and everybody's got the devil in them, and
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: everybody gets all whipped up, and it's all the crowd
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: chasing people, and burn them, and all this other stuff,
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: and grab your torches and pitchforks, and.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: that in general is an odd move in the middle
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: of this like it'd be different if each of the
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: movies was a different time period and each time like
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: we had all the same actors playing different parts like
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: just to do like a cool again from the outside
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: not within the story within the story you wouldn't know
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the difference but from the outside like you're just showcasing
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: look how awesome these actors are they're playing totally different
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: stuff in each one we certainly see that happen in
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: like tv series now they keep coming back in a
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: whole new season a whole new story but same actors
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: If they were doing that, it would almost make sense. But, like,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: we just need to know, oh, turns out she wasn't
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the bad guy.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: We don't need the pig adventure.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: We don't need her.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's all of that other lead up and, like,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the time spent on those two girls not really doing anything. Like,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: they still don't even do the thing.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Dalliances.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Dalliances. Anyways, they fall in love. They're going, oh, I
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: want to get married.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Well, Edward's dad's like, no, you're going to marry this
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: girl over in this other village because her family is
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: of higher standing and it'll be better for us in
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: general if you marry this other girl.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: These sort of things happened a lot back in the olden,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: olden days.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I'm still trying to figure out how their plan was
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: actually supposed to be functional because if you can blow
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: these things up and they reform, how can they not
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: just T-1000 their way through a fucking gate?
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: That's a good question. I saw him kiss. They're evil.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: Okay, well, Pixar didn't happen, bro.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: So, you know.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: Lithographs.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Stone carvings.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Hold still. Lithograph where it didn't happen, though, brother.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, then they bring us back to 1994, which I
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: was happy.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Thank goodness.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Because not only did they bring us back to 94,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: they brought us back to my favorite place in 94.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: The mall? The mall.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Gadzooks? Gadzooks.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: We go right to Gadzooks.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: First thing.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: I'm still disappointed that there was, in fact, not a
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Sbarro in there. I thought there was, but what.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Was it again?
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Primo's.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Primo's.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Which I think I always remember seeing at other malls,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: like when we would go to other towns and be like, oh,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I guess that's a thing, but we don't have it
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: at our mall.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: We don't have that. I was going to say, they
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: can't really prove that he killed anybody, so how is
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: she not getting any repercussions for killing the sheriff? Then
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: once good shows up, they carry his ass.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: That's what she referred to. Not the exact wording. But
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: they mix all the blood they have left.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: In part one, they jawsed him. So in part three,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: they have to carry him.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Yes, they dump the blood.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: On.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: On good, because good is evil.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Fear Street Sagas, book number 14.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: In the series.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: What's the price? $ 305.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: That seems a little pricey to me. For a paperback book.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: So the next thing you know, Susanna Good and her
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: mom are being arrested for witches because apparently his dad,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Edward Fear, has now come across proof that they're the
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: witches and they're gonna burn.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Now let's get to the most important aspect of this
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: entire movie.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Headlamps.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Did we figure out the headlamps?
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Your boyfriend was not at all happy.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Not that I was not happy.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're also in the first movie.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: This come up then.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: What year was it?
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: 1994.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: 1994.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: So a headlamp is something that I would have had.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: If I knew it existed.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: But I never saw them. We went to bargain supply
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: because at the end of the year we had to
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: buy shit. And I had a flashlight. never once saw
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: a headlamp. So maybe they just didn't have them available
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: in our area?
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Let's throw it out there to people. If you were
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: wearing a headlamp in the early 90s, let us know. Otherwise,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: we have to assume this movie wasn't making it up.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: They must have existed.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: They make up a lot of other shit. That they do.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: But this is obviously re-out.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: And I will tell you all the things that they
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: made up because I will tell you the history. It
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: won't even give me.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: It won't even give me a.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Because it.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: Keeps trying to bring up headlights for cars.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: So what do you think of this becoming a bigger thing? Because,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, this did pretty well. I'd say those first
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: two were really successful. Netflix has enough money to do
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: whatever the hell they want. So do you think.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I think it'd be interesting for them to continue, depending
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: on which way they decide to go.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Are they just going to follow them, or are they
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: going to have different stories?
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Is it going to be like an anthology series?
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: That's what I wonder.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Are they going to continue to do, like, the trilogy
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: thing was really interesting for people, so do they do
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: three movies each time and try to keep doing this thing?
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: But how?
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Because, I mean, they wrap up the fear part of it.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Well, just do a whole new set of stories and do...
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: If you want to keep doing the time thing, you
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: could do that or just pick three different... Again, almost anthology-like,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: but split into three movies, so maybe. Or the other one,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I was surprised... So yes, when you join the Meltdown
• 8:04

• 8:20
  Speaker 1: in the future. Like this next movie we've got coming up.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: It's a very cool 70s classic, we'll say, that we
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: knew by its unusual title and its strange ad campaign,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: but we'd never actually seen it. So it turns out,
• 8:33
