• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Now we're like three and four movies in a row.
• 1:35

• 2:19
  Speaker 1: So then you join the club and you can hear
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: us say awesome things like this.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: I was talking to somebody about this movie the other
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: day and I realized the only way that you could
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: describe it at all is to just tell them the whole,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: this happens and this happens. And he's sitting there listening
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: to me. He's like, yeah, okay, yeah. And then I
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: get to the key point in the plot where everything
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: turns and he's just like, Jesus Christ. And I'm like, oh,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: we're not even done yet. Well, I'm looking at a
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: picture here of a dude chopping another guy's hand off
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: with a butcher knife. And there's an ice pick sticking
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: through the guy's hand.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's super violent and the effects are good.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: So why doesn't the serial killer just kill that guy?
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: He tries to.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: I mean, he tries to find him, but the dude's
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: just like CIA agent. martial arts skills always gets that
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: I mean he gets hurt too like a lot of
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: a lot of beating going on on both sides.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: And it says I don't have a lot of friends
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: which is why I keep them in the basement and
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: I was like well that makes sense now.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: That poor chicken R.I.P.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Now the story I've heard in other movies is as
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: long as you eat it it's.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Okay Because then you didn't just kill it for a movie.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I guess.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: It's just like everybody else eating chicken nuggets out there.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: It's served its same purpose. So we just happened to
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: film it first.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Which also is another point I want to dig into
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: later in this movie. It is better made than it
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: needs to be for the sort of movie that it is.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Kind of, yeah.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Especially like there's aspects of it that you don't expect
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: for this type of movie. And this budget, you know,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: it's like they could have really... phoned it in on
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: a lot of levels, and there's moments when I'm like, well, actually,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: this is pretty well done.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Now here, you can see the budget restraints, but.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: There was actually what I would call character development in
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: this movie.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I was like, so wait, Huntress is having a baby
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: with Obi-Wan Kenobi?
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: This kid's gonna be a badass!
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: And ridiculously attractive.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Can't argue with that.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: Also, like, how much LSD do we have laying around
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: where we're just giving everybody... drinks of LSD.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: If you had put her in a Batman serial from
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: the 40s as the main villainous, I would have both
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: seen this. But why is she traveling around in a
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: van with these weirdos?
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: That one's still not as weird to me.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: And what kind of a bakery specializes in nothing but
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: meat pies? If it was like a trendy, like, of
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the moment industry, it's the the cronuts, and it was
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: in a big city or something. But in a normal,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: smaller town, I feel like if you're going to be
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: a bakery, you've got to be able to knock out
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: breads and cakes and everything because you're the only bakery around.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: So, no. Meat pie.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Just meat pie.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Just meat pie.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Which even the hippies call them out on that.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: They're like, what the hell?
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: They're like, I'm going to eat a meat pie for breakfast,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: which first of all.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: You're a bakery. Where are the donuts at, damn it?
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: There's the.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: And I don't think I've ever been in a position
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: where I've gone two or three days without food, which
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: is what they implied these guys were going through, and
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: then argue with somebody about whether or not to eat
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: non-breakfast food for breakfast. Especially when they're getting such a
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: good deal on it.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: In this, it's.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Just a little turn, and he is so menacing and
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: so creepy. But he's not really, like, again, you have
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: to figure out where you think you stand with him
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: as a character.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Because you come.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Into it in a weird situation, and you think one
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: thing about him, and then you kind of start to think,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong. And, like, so he's a really interesting
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: character in this. And, again, I think any lesser actor,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: it would just not.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Be that good.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: It had minimal dialogue, which I thought, well, this is
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: keeping with the spirit of it. But when it got
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: to sentence three, I was like, hey. Dad, I'm out
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: of here.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Here, we want you to make a horror movie. And
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: he's like, well, I don't want to do vampires. I
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: don't want to werewolf.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: He's going down the list of all these cliche things
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: that he didn't want to do. And he's left with
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: real world stuff, which was... reading about this outbreak of
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: rabies in iran of all places yeah and then mixing it.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: With the manson case that's in the news.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Still and so like he just sort of jams all
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: this stuff together and this is what we get.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: They did include like the hydrophobia kind of stuff But
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: it was funny because there's a whole chase scene where
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: they're like running like through a stream.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Through a stream.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Like your feet are in water.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: And then they get back to the water.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: And then they like splash them and they're like, ah!
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: They freak out. You're standing in water.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: And like you can see so much about society by
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: just looking at the things that were popular in the,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: and you get different versions of it too. You can
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: look at all the mainstream movies that came out at
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: this exact same time and you'll get a good feel
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: for what the Again, the boring normal people in the
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: world were into the whatever major studio releases came out.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: And then go look at your drive in and your
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: grindhouse movies and you'll see what was kind of, again,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: just under the surface going on. But it's tapping into
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: that same thing that the other people are afraid of.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: And I think that's what's so important is like you
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: can look at these and pinpoint exactly where the country
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: was at that point.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Also, what do we think was the purpose of the
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: pregnant lady having a wig that looked the same as
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: the hair that was under her?
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: And she didn't even take it off.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Why are you wearing it if you're going to keep
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: taking it off?
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I don't understand.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Doesn't that sell you?
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, quite a bit.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Don't you want to go get your guts ripped out?
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Twice.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Shivers.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Shivers, that's the one. Yeah, she's in Shivers for Cronenberg.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Which both are kind of the same type of plot.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, the crazies are clearly influenced by this.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I guess.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: I love that they kept showing the head. Every other
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: shot after that was.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Because they obviously spent a lot of time making it.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: They spent at least $ 12 on that thing. And that's
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: $ 12 in 1970 money. Yeah, that's big money.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I was like, that's the only thing before that that
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: there's even kind of a dog or werewolf related thing.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Not even from this movie. So the title's not the title.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: The image on the poster's not the image from the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: movie at all. And it has nothing to do with
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: that other one on the other half of the poster
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: who also isn't that title and they probably stole that
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: artwork too. Well, I won't say that's the weird scene.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: They're all weird scenes, but.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's not really even about the money.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, yes, we do need money coming in to
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: pay for hosting fees and to keep the site going
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: and things like that.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: But more than anything, we're really just trying to build
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: a community.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: A group of friends that like movies and horror and
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: want to sit around and talk about them. I mean,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: that's what this club, hell, that's what this show is
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: built on. And it's no fun to go through all
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the trouble of putting this together and then nobody's out there.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: So if you are out there, if you're listening to
• 9:43
