A Not-So-Classic Horror Story (Promo) · Movie Meltdown

0:23
Speaker 1: All right. Was that the fancy new recorder? Well, see,
0:26
Speaker 1: that's where we're going. We'll roll into our movie threat,
0:29
Speaker 1: but that aside, beforehand, we should tell people we're now
0:34
Speaker 1: using this giant... I think it looks like a giant bug.
0:37
Speaker 1: It's like a spider or something. It's very insect-like and arachnid, perhaps, but.
0:44
Speaker 1: It's awesome, but it wasn't cheap. And if you listened
0:48
Speaker 1: to that episode of the regular show before last, you'll
0:51
Speaker 1: know how necessary it is, because I don't like it.
0:55
Speaker 1: The only thing that I could get to work on
0:56
Speaker 1: that recording session was the open-air mics, and it's just
1:00
Speaker 1: weird and echoey, and I don't like it. And I
1:04
Speaker 1: know some people just record that way, but I'm like,
1:06
Speaker 1: it bugged me the whole time I put that episode together.
1:09
Speaker 1: And luckily, the last one we did... It got super
1:12
Speaker 1: messed up, but I had a way to fix it.
1:15
Speaker 1: It just took freaking forever, so there was no good
1:19
Speaker 1: way to keep using our old system. So we have
1:22
Speaker 1: now gone in the hole on this new fancy recorder
1:25
Speaker 1: that looks like a giant bug, but it wasn't cheap,
1:28
Speaker 1: and we didn't even cover it with what we had
1:30
Speaker 1: from the Meltdown Horror Club people, which I'm very glad
1:34
Speaker 1: that they support us, and I thank them, but... Yeah,
1:37
Speaker 1: it didn't really, it kind of put a dent in it,
1:39
Speaker 1: and that was about it. So, if you've been thinking, hey,
1:43
Speaker 1: I should help support these guys, now is the time
1:46
Speaker 1: to help cover this new recorder we're using right now. So, yeah.
1:50
Speaker 1: Before we even get to the movie threat, feel free
1:53
Speaker 1: to go to MovieMeltdown.com, click on the Patreon link, and
1:57
Speaker 1: help pay for this very fancy, very cool, giant bug-looking
2:02
Speaker 1: thing that is now recording us. It may jump on
2:05
Speaker 1: you and attack you, though. Keep in mind.
2:06
Speaker 3: I know, I've got my eye on it.
2:08
Speaker 1: But it's pointed at Nora. Yeah, it's sitting relatively close
2:10
Speaker 1: to you, Nora, so at any moment it could just
2:13
Speaker 1: jump on your face.
2:14
Speaker 3: I'm ready.
2:14
Speaker 1: All right. So, movie-wise, I ran across one just yesterday, technically.
2:24
Speaker 1: But it also made me wonder, there's the fine line
2:29
Speaker 1: on thriller and horror.
2:31
Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
2:32
Speaker 1: Because this themselves, they even kind of listed as like
2:36
Speaker 1: a thriller, but I'm reading the story. I'm like, this
2:40
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like, again, it's like it spilled over to
2:43
Speaker 1: the other side of the line, if you ask me.
2:45
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's called Open House with the tagline, welcome
2:50
Speaker 1: to the neighborhood or something cheesy along those lines. It's
2:54
Speaker 1: got five headshots sitting over a house, most of which
2:57
Speaker 1: I don't know who they are. That one guy's probably from,
3:00
Speaker 1: what's that vampire show that was on? True Blood? Yeah.
3:04
Speaker 1: Every time I don't know somebody, but they're the lead
3:06
Speaker 1: in something, I'm like, how the hell did that? Oh,
3:08
Speaker 1: I didn't watch any of True Blood. Because it would
3:10
Speaker 1: also make sense, because the only name I do know
3:12
Speaker 1: is Anna Paquin, who's also in this.
3:15
Speaker 4: Oh.
3:15
Speaker 1: Anna lost a bet or something. But anyway, if we're
3:19
Speaker 1: going to the description here. When a couple on the
3:23
Speaker 1: brink of divorce attempts to sell their own house, they
3:26
Speaker 1: discover that one of their potential buyers isn't apt to leave.
3:30
Speaker 1: The unwanted guest tortures the couple from their basement, and
3:33
Speaker 1: they have little hope of getting out of their marriage
3:36
Speaker 1: and their home alive.
3:38
Speaker 3: Oh my.
3:38
Speaker 1: Does that sound like a thriller? Because the box is like,
3:41
Speaker 1: one of the coolest new thrillers, or some cheesy tagline
3:44
Speaker 1: on the backside. And I was like, This just sounds
3:47
Speaker 1: like straight up horror to me.
3:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, once you get to torture in the basement.
3:51
Speaker 1: I was like, how is this not a horror movie?
3:54
Speaker 1: Sounds like a horror movie to me.
3:57
Speaker 2: I mean, I haven't seen the movie, but we don't know.
3:59
Speaker 2: That might actually bring them closer together.
4:01
Speaker 1: Maybe so. A little basement torture. We can discuss that
4:04
Speaker 1: if someone wants to choose this movie. I'm using it
4:07
Speaker 1: as a threat of this is what we could end
4:09
Speaker 1: up with. You probably have a much better idea of
4:13
Speaker 1: what you'd like us to watch, but... If not, you
4:17
Speaker 1: can give us... I like Anna Paquin. I'll watch Open House.
4:20
Speaker 1: What do I care? Are you guys okay to watching
4:24
Speaker 1: real estate horror? Is that like a new stuff genre?
4:28
Speaker 2: I think so.
4:30
Speaker 1: Let's see. I've definitely... What's the crazy Michael Keaton one?
4:34
Speaker 1: I've seen that one. And then, because he's the same thing.
4:39
Speaker 2: Of course, there's Hider in the House.
4:40
Speaker 3: Hider in the House.
4:41
Speaker 1: There you go. Good movie. We've got that one. I mean,
4:46
Speaker 1: then there's your, what's the kid that hides in the walls?
4:52
Speaker 1: That's also kind of Hider in the House. Oh, the boy. Yeah. Yes.
4:55
Speaker 1: We watched that one years ago, so you don't need
4:57
Speaker 1: to bother to put that one in there. That's a
4:58
Speaker 1: fun one. I've already blocked it out now. It's fun.
5:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's surprising.
5:04
Speaker 1: How well it works, especially that was a made for
5:07
Speaker 1: TV movie. Think about that.
5:09
Speaker 3: It was?
5:10
Speaker 1: Yeah. The one that I'm talking about, the one that
5:12
Speaker 1: we watched years ago, was a weird made for TV
5:16
Speaker 1: movie that I'm like, that was back when they just
5:18
Speaker 1: put whatever the hell they wanted on television.
5:21
Speaker 3: We might be thinking of different movies then. Well, they've
5:23
Speaker 3: done that scenario a couple of times.
5:25
Speaker 1: Let me think which one this one is.
5:27
Speaker 3: I'm thinking of The Boy, which came out probably like
5:29
Speaker 3: 2014 or 15, maybe.
5:31
Speaker 1: No, this was like 70s made for TV.
5:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay. Well, Taylor's oldest time.
5:36
Speaker 1: Guy in the Walls.
5:39
Speaker 2: I just looked up The Boy movie on Google and
5:41
Speaker 2: there's like.
5:42
Speaker 1: Oh, that's the mannequin kid.
5:43
Speaker 2: I saw him yesterday.
5:45
Speaker 1: It was sitting behind Open House was The Boy.
5:48
Speaker 3: The Boy.
5:49
Speaker 1: I was like, do we need to go to The Boy?
5:51
Speaker 1: That's also a movie threat, really. What is the name
5:56
Speaker 1: of that? It's the kid's name. In which?
5:58
Speaker 2: In the boy?
5:59
Speaker 1: No, in the movie with the kid that lives on
6:02
Speaker 1: the freaking walls.
6:03
Speaker 2: I thought that was the boy.
6:06
Speaker 1: That's a ventriloquist dummy, is it not? I don't... Or
6:09
Speaker 1: some sort of doll.
6:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a doll.
6:11
Speaker 1: And the Walking Dead chicks in it. Yes. Yeah, that one.
6:15
Speaker 1: They're different.
6:19
Speaker 3: Anyway, spoilers for the boy. You haven't.
6:23
Speaker 1: Seen it. I don't know what happens in it. I
6:27
Speaker 1: just know she's in it and the kids at all.
6:29
Speaker 1: Which they give away in the trailer. Bad Ronald. Thank you.
6:36
Speaker 1: Bad Ronald. This is 1974 made for television horror thriller.
6:41
Speaker 1: There you go. See, they're working both in on this one.
6:44
Speaker 1: Bad Ronald. And it is... I mean, it is an
6:47
Speaker 1: interesting movie. If you haven't seen it, you feel free
6:50
Speaker 1: to seek it out. But it is just freaking weird
6:52
Speaker 1: to think that it was for television horror. Because it is, like,
6:55
Speaker 1: he's a weird, like, high school kid. And mom is, like,
6:59
Speaker 1: super overprotective. And, like, he ends up, like, accidentally murdering
7:03
Speaker 1: some girl in the neighborhood. And, like, he comes back
7:06
Speaker 1: and mom's like, oh, here, hide in here. And, like,
7:08
Speaker 1: she basically, like, there's a weird part of the house
7:11
Speaker 1: that she then, like, drywalls over and wallpapers over. And, like,
7:15
Speaker 1: he lives in the walls. What? As if that isn't
7:18
Speaker 1: weird enough, mom dies. So the new family moves in. Like,
7:24
Speaker 1: they take all the stuff out. New family buys the house.
7:27
Speaker 1: He's still living in the walls.
7:29
Speaker 2: Scott Jacoby was.
7:31
Speaker 3: Oh, my.
7:32
Speaker 2: Jacoby.
7:32
Speaker 3: Whatever. Yeah, maybe I'll watch that one on my own time.
7:36
Speaker 1: I don't even remember, so he must not have... I
7:38
Speaker 1: assume he's a cop. Wasn't he always a cop or
7:40
Speaker 1: somebody's boss that was kind of a jerk? But, yeah,
7:44
Speaker 1: Bad Ronald. That's the one that we watched, and it
7:47
Speaker 1: is really weird... Especially made for television. Every household in
7:53
Speaker 1: America was running weird-ass shit like that.
7:55
Speaker 2: Someone on IBD says it's a completely wonderful premise, and
7:59
Speaker 2: I have to tell you, that premise you just gave
8:02
Speaker 2: me sounds not at all wonderful.
8:04
Speaker 1: Wonderful's not the word. Oh, are you terrifying? Disturbing? But
8:08
Speaker 1: wonderful's not immediately where my head goes, but. Just, you know,
8:13
Speaker 1: you just moved into a house. Imagine there could be
8:15
Speaker 1: someone living in the walls right now.
8:17
Speaker 3: I think about it all the time.
8:18
Speaker 2: Okay.
8:20
Speaker 1: As we, at some point, all been homeowners, I saw this,
8:23
Speaker 1: I guess it was a meme or something the other day.
8:25
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, you'll appreciate this. Because I
8:28
Speaker 1: may have laughed out loud. Literally. So I'm reading it
8:32
Speaker 1: and it goes, it's something to the effect of, oh,
8:36
Speaker 1: that moment in life when you realize the noises you
8:39
Speaker 1: heard downstairs is a ghost. And you're relieved instead of
8:42
Speaker 1: just shit you can't afford to fix in your house.
8:45
Speaker 1: I was like, wow. I fully get that, and that
8:48
Speaker 1: is awesome. Congratulations on making a meme. Because, yeah, that's
8:53
Speaker 1: some bad rephrasing. But it's essentially that. I was like, yeah, yeah,
8:57
Speaker 1: I'll take a ghost. I can't afford any of this
8:59
Speaker 1: other shit. seriously that was awesome so i assume you're
9:02
Speaker 1: in that point right.
9:03
Speaker 3: Oh yeah if they just keep to themselves and don't
9:06
Speaker 3: make any messes you do you.
9:07
Speaker 1: Make your quiet noises don't be waking me up all
9:10
Speaker 1: night we.
9:11
Speaker 3: Can share the house it's fine i don't need all these.
9:14
Speaker 1: Rooms yeah one you stay in the torture room in
9:18
Speaker 1: the basement that's what we have it for so anyway
9:24
Speaker 1: All that aside, yeah, if you want to support us,
9:29
Speaker 1: you know, you can hear us say amazing things like this.
9:34
Speaker 1: Crazy over the top nonsense.
9:36
Speaker 2: Well, it was one of those movies that like 20
9:38
Speaker 2: minutes into it, I'm like, I have this figured out.
9:40
Speaker 1: Yeah. But I'll sit.
9:41
Speaker 2: Here and I'll enjoy it. And then you get to
9:43
Speaker 2: the third act and I'm like, I did not see
9:45
Speaker 2: that coming.
9:46
Speaker 3: It's so fun. Oh, it's so much fun.
9:48
Speaker 2: It's basically King Kong, but with a big incoherent dude
9:53
Speaker 2: just stomping around. I will say, this.
9:57
Speaker 1: Is one of those moments when I was like, okay,
10:02
Speaker 1: this is kind of impressive here. Because we have hit
10:06
Speaker 1: that moment of like, okay, now we're moving into supernatural
10:10
Speaker 1: territory of like, the road is gone. Nowhere near a road, period,
10:15
Speaker 1: let alone that road. Like you're out in a field.
10:18
Speaker 1: Like it was just weird and like super surreal. So
10:21
Speaker 1: I'm just like, okay, what kind of movie are we
10:24
Speaker 1: in here? You know, so it sort of changed gears there.
10:27
Speaker 1: And I was like, all right, I'm kind of impressed
10:29
Speaker 1: with what they're doing here.
10:30
Speaker 3: And it's set in like Beverly Hills and it's a
10:35
Speaker 3: kid whose family is very, very wealthy and they're acting
10:39
Speaker 3: a little weird. And then his fellow classmates are acting
10:42
Speaker 3: a little weird.
10:43
Speaker 1: Huh.
10:44
Speaker 3: And I can't believe maybe this kid's the weird one.
10:47
Speaker 1: I don't know.
10:48
Speaker 3: Oh, God.
10:50
Speaker 2: But that says a lot about society where you can
10:53
Speaker 2: just put a camera in somebody's face in a movie
10:56
Speaker 2: and nobody in the movie goes, what are you doing?
10:59
Speaker 1: Yeah.
11:00
Speaker 2: And you as the audience member don't go, what is
11:02
Speaker 2: that guy doing?
11:03
Speaker 1: If this was 30 years ago, that would be insane.
11:06
Speaker 1: It wouldn't even register. You'd be like, what the hell
11:08
Speaker 1: is this? But now you don't think twice about it.
11:12
Speaker 3: That big reveal, and then the big fight scene afterwards,
11:15
Speaker 3: I was just laughing hysterically. I could not believe what
11:19
Speaker 3: I was watching. It's so great.
11:22
Speaker 1: Because there's no people, there's nobody around, but now this
11:25
Speaker 1: door that was definitely locked just a little while ago
11:28
Speaker 1: is now standing open, so....
11:31
Speaker 2: For this crazy ass story well there were a lot
11:33
Speaker 2: of things during the course of the movie where I'm
11:35
Speaker 2: like well if that happened then how and then I
11:38
Speaker 2: was like you know what just shut up and enjoy
11:40
Speaker 2: it just watch the movie and I got to the
11:42
Speaker 2: end of it and none of my questions were ever
11:44
Speaker 2: answered but I didn't care yeah.
11:49
Speaker 1: So, yeah, that is bad timing.
11:51
Speaker 3: Yeah.
11:51
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's unfortunate. Why would you do that to him?
11:54
Speaker 1: He's such a nice guy.
11:57
Speaker 3: I didn't know. I mean, I should have known, really.
11:59
Speaker 3: Any movie where there's people in a car, there's going
12:01
Speaker 3: to be a dead animal, and then they swear.
12:03
Speaker 2: Well, I had no idea there were going to be
12:06
Speaker 2: any of this.
12:07
Speaker 1: Yeah.
12:09
Speaker 3: There's a thing with a fist.
12:11
Speaker 1: Well, those are your big... Does that happen? Through a head?
12:13
Speaker 1: Because that's always fun.
12:15
Speaker 2: Okay.
12:16
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just got to punch somebody through their head.
12:19
Speaker 2: I mean, that's... Big projectile vomiting, exploding heads, and fists
12:23
Speaker 2: through heads. Those are your 80s practical effects go-tos, right?
12:26
Speaker 1: It's wild. I don't know that anyone's prepared for the
12:31
Speaker 1: nipple scene. And I'll go ahead and just let you know,
12:34
Speaker 1: there's a nipple scene, and you're not prepared for it,
12:37
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. Because I saw it and went.
12:39
Speaker 2: Oh, man.
12:40
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of weird shit, but I was
12:42
Speaker 1: not ready for that.
12:44
Speaker 2: Wouldn't she have been sore, though, the next morning after
12:48
Speaker 2: each one of those incidents? Wouldn't all of her joints
12:51
Speaker 2: just hurt?
12:51
Speaker 1: Maybe they did. I don't know.
12:54
Speaker 3: When her sister goes to the spooky asylum or hospital
12:58
Speaker 3: or whatever and it's like off on this cliff and
13:00
Speaker 3: there's a thunder, you know, lightning and everything that's very gothic.
13:04
Speaker 1: Like they always are, you know.
13:06
Speaker 2: Why, why, why, why do you leave for a location
13:10
Speaker 2: like that 30 minutes before sunset?
13:12
Speaker 1: I know.
13:14
Speaker 3: He looks like a Texas church mom.
13:16
Speaker 2: Oh, God.
13:18
Speaker 3: I didn't even like think about that angle of it.
13:21
Speaker 1: No, I didn't either.
13:23
Speaker 3: Is the first one like they're trying to be just scary?
13:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's a whole like satanic element to it. Like, oh,
13:32
Speaker 2: we conjured these.
13:35
Speaker 1: And that part I really like.
13:37
Speaker 2: Yeah.
13:38
Speaker 1: I'm just going on the record now. That part I
13:41
Speaker 1: really like.
13:43
Speaker 2: I like how you stress the words that part.
13:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, that part I really like.
13:48
Speaker 4: What if it just dissolved you and you got to
13:51
Speaker 4: watch as this happens? So it just oozes over top
13:55
Speaker 4: of you and then you just watch people like melting
13:57
Speaker 4: away inside of it, essentially.
14:01
Speaker 3: I yelled because I think they did such a good
14:04
Speaker 3: job like building the spooky creepiness and the tension that
14:07
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, God. Before that, they find the
14:12
Speaker 3: little girl in the nest thing in the attic, which
14:14
Speaker 3: that was another moment where I was like.
14:15
Speaker 2: There was nothing creepy about that at all.
14:18
Speaker 1: We don't all have that one.
14:19
Speaker 3: With the tongue cut out.
14:20
Speaker 2: With her tongue cut out.
14:22
Speaker 3: That was bad.
14:25
Speaker 2: Well, I do like the thought that there's a secret
14:27
Speaker 2: underground snuff film industry going that has the exact same
14:34
Speaker 2: trolls that we have in the mainstream.
14:37
Speaker 1: This is the worst Nuff film I've ever seen. You
14:39
Speaker 1: guys suck.
14:41
Speaker 2: What I love is that you're less upset that there's
14:44
Speaker 2: a maniac who's going to kill a bunch of people
14:46
Speaker 2: and make a movie about it, and you're more upset
14:48
Speaker 2: that the quality of said movie is going to blow.
14:51
Speaker 1: I mean, if you know me, yes, this movie is
14:55
Speaker 1: going to suck, and that's my first problem. Also, don't
14:57
Speaker 1: kill people. But mostly, don't make a crappy movie. So,
15:03
Speaker 1: once again, to help us pay for this fancy new recorder,
15:06
Speaker 1: go to MovieMeltdown.com and click on the Patreon link and
15:09
Speaker 1: join the Horror Club and give us a better movie
15:12
Speaker 1: to watch than Rental Nightmares.
15:15
Speaker 2: Or, like I always say, give us terrible movies to
15:18
Speaker 2: watch if you want to hear us suffer. If you
15:19
Speaker 2: hate the three of us so badly that you enjoy
15:24
Speaker 2: the thought of us watching a film that makes us
15:26
Speaker 2: froth at the mouth.
15:28
Speaker 1: Which we have done before.
15:29
Speaker 2: Please. And it's only going to cost you $ 2 a
15:33
Speaker 2: month to make all of us suffer.
15:35
Speaker 1: Pacific Heights. I'm pretty sure that's the Michael Keaton one. Oh, yeah.
15:39
Speaker 1: He moves in as a tenant. I don't know if
15:42
Speaker 1: it's one of those split houses or something. But, yeah,
15:44
Speaker 1: he moves in and then will not leave. And it's
15:47
Speaker 1: totally insane. So, yeah, there's another one of those. It's
15:49
Speaker 1: like its own little subgenre of bad rental peoples or
15:54
Speaker 1: someone lives in your walls or yeah. Try to sell
15:57
Speaker 1: your house and they keep you in the basement and
15:58
Speaker 1: torture you. You know, the normal stuff when you're trying
16:01
Speaker 1: to sell your house.
16:04
Speaker 2: So, speaking of Michael Keaton, have you seen the trailer
16:07
Speaker 2: for the new Flash movie?
16:09
Speaker 1: I have. I'm so... It looks like a mess of
16:13
Speaker 1: a movie. I'm so thankful to see Michael Keaton in
16:16
Speaker 1: the outfit again. That was the thing I was most
16:18
Speaker 1: excited about. And I watched the trailer a time ago. Man,
16:21
Speaker 1: I wish he was in a different movie. Because that
16:24
Speaker 1: Ezra jerk. Man, fuck that guy. So, yeah. Oh, yeah,
16:29
Speaker 1: that guy. Yeah, he is not cool.
16:30
Speaker 2: No.
16:31
Speaker 1: And on so many levels. Like, I don't even think
16:33
Speaker 1: I knew some of his stories. And then I heard
16:36
Speaker 1: some new ones the other day. I was like, wow,
16:37
Speaker 1: I already didn't like him, but man. It was like,
16:41
Speaker 1: he is out of his damn mind.
16:42
Speaker 2: Well, either way, Michael Keaton's back as Batman.
16:44
Speaker 1: I do like Michael Keaton. That's all I'm worried about.
16:47
Speaker 1: He can be Batman as long as he wants. But
16:49
Speaker 1: I was like, if you're going to bother to bring
16:50
Speaker 1: him back... Give him his own movie. Why is he
16:53
Speaker 1: in this Flash movie?
16:54
Speaker 2: Well, yeah.
16:55
Speaker 1: I don't know. Just give him his own movie. Definitely
16:59
Speaker 1: over that kid.
17:01
Speaker 2: Anyway.
17:03
Speaker 1: Join the Meltdown Horror Club. Give us another movie about
17:07
Speaker 1: a giant guy that dresses like a bat and kills
17:09
Speaker 1: people or something. There's probably one of those out there.
17:11
Speaker 1: Why isn't there a Man-Bat movie? Come on. Let's throw
17:13
Speaker 1: this together. I don't know. All right.
17:16
Speaker 2: Everybody else is getting movies.
17:17
Speaker 3: Why not Man-Bat?
17:18
Speaker 1: I mean, might as well. We already got a man thing. Technically,
17:23
Speaker 1: he's got his own series now.
17:25
Speaker 2: I will never not be able to giggle.
17:28
Speaker 1: There's someone else I know that had just the mention
17:31
Speaker 1: of it giggling. And I was like, there's an oversight
17:35
Speaker 1: in the premise on this.
17:36
Speaker 2: Is it Marlena?
17:37
Speaker 1: It's Marlena. It wasn't, but probably also true. But yeah,
17:41
Speaker 1: it was another one that we brought it up on
17:42
Speaker 1: the show. And they're like, I can't. I just can't
17:44
Speaker 1: take it seriously. And I'm like, well, I feel like
17:48
Speaker 1: they should have had a meeting and be like, does anybody...
17:50
Speaker 1: Snicker every time we bring up this title. They're like,
17:53
Speaker 1: hee hee hee. I'm like, maybe we should call him
17:55
Speaker 1: something else.
17:56
Speaker 3: Won't you guys?
17:57
Speaker 1: Let's think about this. Join the Meltdown Horror Club.
