  Speaker 5: I feel like I'm salivating when you know you're going
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: to throw up.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: I'm getting a little bit of that too. Ah, the holidays.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, God.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: So my question is, why aren't there more Thanksgiving songs?
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Are there any Thanksgiving songs?
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: There actually are. And that's what I asked the question.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: And then I went looking. I was like, oh, there's
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: actually quite a few. And then on top of that,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: half of them have that. One of them specifically starts with,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: why aren't there more Thanksgiving songs? That is how the
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: song opens. It's like, there's all these Christmas songs. Why
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: aren't there more Thanksgiving songs? So I'm going to sing
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: one right now. And it's not really great. That's what
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: I remember finding in previous episodes of trying to find.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: 41 best Thanksgiving songs.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: There you go. There were way more than I expected
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: when I started on this journey. Yeah. So we'll work
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: in what we can along the way. The one that
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: I had to.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: Of course, Martina McBride.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that's the thing. I was throwing out anything
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: country related. Yeah. We're all going to be like. Country music.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: But they are all like super like.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: Down homey.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Not even that. Just like. thankful and like not there's
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: no fun wins for the most part it's all like
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: earnest and i'm so thankful of my family and there's
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: nothing might be johnny cash telling you how great things
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: are in the world that you have this broken ass
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: farm and you know.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: There's none that are like my uncle came in and
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: slapped my grandma while grandpa put his cigarette out.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Probably one if i dig a little deeper god forbid
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: i eat my vegetables But I don't know if this
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: is what they intended when they said, eat your vegetables.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: We just told everyone you loved that movie when you
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: weren't here. Oh, sure. Had no problems with it at all.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: No problems. It was so well written. You loved it.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: So well written, so well directed, and it knew what
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: direction to go in.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Totally knew. It's a really weird thing to have your
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: first date be Thanksgiving. Yeah. And why he invites her
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: as though he knows she has no family. Like, shouldn't
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: she be at her family? Why would you assume tomorrow
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: night Thanksgiving is when you guys want to go have dinner?
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: That's weird. That was the weird revelation I had in
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: the middle of this Garfield episode. It's the crossover. We
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: never knew that we needed. Beforehand, I went and re-watched
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: the first one. Because it's been a long time since
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: I've seen it.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: My question to our audience is, what did we do
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: to hurt you?
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, we do always give them the option of like, hey,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: we're making our list. You can give us a movie.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: You can give us something terrible to watch is what
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: we always throw out there. And usually we don't get that.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: But now you see what happens.
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: You done it.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Sometimes they make good on their threat. Or our offered threat.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: And now... They've made us pay.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: This is almost like what this is going for, but
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: it failed. I mean, it was nowhere near as entertaining
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: or coherent.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: It's sad that I have to use the phrase, without
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: the charm of GWAR. Yeah, exactly. True is the sad thing.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Without the charm and endearing qualities that GWAR brings to
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: a project. That's why this one is so good is
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: because It's a spoof. It doesn't take itself seriously. It's
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: sending up the horror movies that they're making fun of.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Even in the premise. Isn't it ridiculous that horror movies
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: are all set around a holiday? What if it was Thanksgiving?
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: What if it was a freaking turkey? The filmmakers first
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: met her in a donut shop to discuss the movie
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: days prior to shooting. Days prior. Days prior. They put
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: an ad on Craigslist. for a girl to be in
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: the nude scene of their horror movie. The only person
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: who responded was Wanda West.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: The only person.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: So that infamous opening scene where she's running around and
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: she's exposed, we'll say, and she's about to get killed,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: they shot that in a public park without a permit.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: And she's running around topless. They shot that in a
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: public park. The camping scenes were impromptu done outside of
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: an abandoned Wendy's on the outskirts of New Jersey.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: See, this is everybody who's ever thought about, I want
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: to make a movie. This proves that it can be done.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: And these guys did it. I want to make a
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: horror movie.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: And they did it pretty well.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: I have no money.
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: There's just like no... joy to it no not that
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: feeling of like two low budget you know college students
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: coming together and maybe that has to do with having
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: more money so they're just like throw more stuff but
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: there's no actual like feeling of this being someone's like
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: passion project or anything it's just kind of like and
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: there it is there is that.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: And also because it's not just a low budget horror
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: movie it's above anything else a comedy And comedy, specifically
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: horror comedy, is really hard to do. So the fact
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: that the comedy is kind of what works best and
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: holds up throughout the movie, as dumb as some of
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: the aspects are, as no budget as they are, that's
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: what carries you through. The stuff that's written is written... Again,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: the same dumb level of humor is there that's in
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: this one. But it clicks somehow and it works. And
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: it feels like they're making fun of the dumb aspects
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: of horror movies instead of what we end up getting
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: in this one. So I think that's part of it.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: But it's also like they're making fun of those dumb
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: aspects like they're fans of those dumb aspects.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you do get that.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Like, this is what I love about horror movies, but God,
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: it's dumb.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: It sure is a stupid cliche. Here's the dumbest presentation
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: of it right here. And then you get to this,
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, this is just Muppets and a guy.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: One guy with a dumb wig, and that's it. Like,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: 99% of the rest of this is a puppet show.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: You know, that scene at the beginning, too, I felt,
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: with Turkey sitting around with his family, which was.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: So painful to sit through.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: But it reminded me of that scene in Natural Born
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: Killers with Rodney Dangerfield.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: It's like meant to be a sitcom within the story.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: In Natural Born Killers, that was one of the weirdest
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: scenes just because it comes from out of nowhere. But
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: it's also one of the most intriguing scenes.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: This was a total opposite of that.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: It was not intriguing. It was just dull.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: It was another one. From the technical aspect, I'm looking
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: at it and I'm like, they start doing the weird lighting.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: I'm like, from the technical aspect, like this looks great.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: Like you guys figured out the way to light this.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Like again, go back to our cinematographer. Like it's shot
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: really well. It does these cool, like again, horror movie
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: knockoffs of like zoom over and look at him from
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: this weird angle. The lights are flashing. Like that all
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: looked great. I hated everything else that was going on
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: in the scene. but that's not why that movie works.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: It works because he then, after you had that, they
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: made all that. It's all there. It looks great. He
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: focused on the people. He developed the characters. We have
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: an actual story. We have people that we care about.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: So like you're watching the, the story and all the
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: other weird stuff is just there as like background it's
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: like set dressing it's it's you know weird character designs
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: but it's not taking away from the story.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: I thought well maybe once we get past this It'll
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: get better, but the minute that they introduced the Yomi character,
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: I knew we were doomed. Because I was like, here's
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: this super cute, well-built puppet who I never understood why
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: she was naked throughout.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: The whole thing.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: And nobody addressed that. Why didn't our wig guy come
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: down and be like, can we get you some clothes
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: or something? Why are you wandering around the streets naked?
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: But something just told me, I was like, okay, they've
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: introduced this Which I can't see how this is going
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: to tie into anything else. And I kept thinking for
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: a while, well, maybe that's part of the joke. Maybe
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: these are characters from the second movie. And because we
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: don't know them, we're.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Like, what the hell?
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: But if that was the case, there was zero payoff.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: If only that was well thought out. If only they'd
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: put that much effort into it.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: But by that point, I was like, I don't care
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: when we were there. I'm not mad that they did that.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: I don't think it's funny. I just knew it was
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: going to happen. And sure enough, it happened. And now
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: he's got a chainsaw boner, which is how I think
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: he refers to it at least once, which would be
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: a really unwielding and inconvenient weapon. I feel like I
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: went kind of.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Went off a little left there at the end. A
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: little bit.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: I was just so irritated by that point in the movie.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like, the only other big takeaway I had from
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: this movie was, like, does someone have, like, a puppet fetish?
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: Because there was so many, like, sexual.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, putting the.
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: thing in the butt to open up the portal and
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: then like at the end where the worm like jumps
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: into her mouth and she's like giving it a blowjob
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: and it's just like ugh.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: She's giving a blowjob from the wrong end too. I
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: mean it was obvious what his face.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: We all know we want to have puppet interactions and
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: we've thought about how to do it.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: The point where the guy has to where Uncle Donnie
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: has to put the puppet on I'm sitting there and
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: thinking he's going to put his hand in there and
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: they're going to dub in a squishy noise. Ugh.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: Everything about it they took themselves super seriously and like
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: thought that they were making a statement against you know
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: the politics in the world and i'm just like but
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: you're not you're not accomplishing anything because you undercut everything
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: with them falling down and doing stupid jokes and like
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: that's also what eventually became my biggest problem with this
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: too is like i feel like that's the difference between
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: the the comedy in these two like that first one
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: they didn't take themselves seriously like it was a send-up
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: of horror movies and within i mean they weren't winking
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: at the camera but they still you could tell tone
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: wise didn't take themselves seriously yeah this feels like they
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: took everything they were doing dead serious even though they're
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: trying to do comedy again i'm using quotations everything is
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: deadpan to the point of You think this is, like,
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: you're doing something important. Even though you're making a gross-out joke,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: you think this is important because you're taking it so
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: seriously and you've put so much money into this puppet
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: that's saying this thing that, like, you think this is
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: a big deal. And, like, it's not even funny, let
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: alone is it important. So that became what's so insufferable
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: by the end of it, is, like, just how self-important
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: it felt that they... It just felt, and that's all
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: of these things coming together, it felt super indulgent.
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: But she says raunchy sex stuff too.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: She says raunchy sex stuff. Which is hilarious.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: That even her grandson's like, I don't want to hear this.
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: I love puppets.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: I love robots. This movie had both of those and
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: I could not have cared less.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: Don't make the mistake that I often make after hearing
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: stuff like this and think, well, it can't be that bad.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: These guys are just, they've got a stick.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: No, it's that bad. It's bad.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: Please don't watch this movie.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Is it a long pike that we've got up our.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: I guess. Or just a butter knife. It's just a
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: butter knife.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: I would rather stick a knife in an electrical outlet
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: than watch this movie again.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: That's pretty much where we landed with this one.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Thanks.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: Thanks, Killing Three. You almost got me divorced.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Way to go. See, that's what's annoying is just trying
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: to convince people to come join the club and give
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: us like six cents. They gave you motherfuckers $ 100, 000 to
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: make this nonsense. Six cents is all I'm asking for.
• 14:59

• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Patreon link at the top of the page. Then you'll
