  Speaker 2: There were only two who saw the meteor fall into
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: the lake long ago. One was an Indian brave, hunting
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: for food. He saw the fire streak arc down over
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: the water. and was afraid, because it was an omen
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: of ill favor when the stars left the heaven and
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: drowned themselves in the water. The other witness was a
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: fish who snapped greedily at the meteor as it fell.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Quite reduced in size now, the fish swam away, and
• 1:22

  Speaker 10: And welcome to the second installment of Greeno Bloody Greeno.
• 2:10
  Speaker 11: What?
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: There was no blood. I'm sorry.
• 2:13
  Speaker 7: It was horror-esque.
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: There you go.
• 2:16
  Speaker 10: Science fiction-y. I don't know. Our series looking at the
• 2:21
  Speaker 10: other films of Maria de Aragon. This week's Sofa Theater
• 2:26
  Speaker 10: feature is The Cremators. The year, actually, it was a
• 2:30
  Speaker 10: little off. 1972 is the year. The director, Harry Essex.
• 2:34
  Speaker 10: The plot, and I'm going to have to adjust a
• 2:36
  Speaker 10: little from the IMDb plot because I disagree with some
• 2:38
  Speaker 10: of it, as I usually do. An alien life form
• 2:42
  Speaker 10: that is a huge ball of living matter, a.k.a. fire,
• 2:46
  Speaker 10: invades Earth and replenishes itself by absorbing people, a.k.a. incinerating people.
• 2:52
  Speaker 10: That's how they put it. A lot of that's kind
• 2:54
  Speaker 10: of off, but, you know, it's IMDb. But before we
• 2:57
  Speaker 10: delve into it, it is time. And as part of
• 3:04
  Speaker 10: this little Maria de Aragon film festival here, we will
• 3:07
  Speaker 10: hear a few thoughts of hers on these movies. Today,
• 3:09
  Speaker 10: we will see what she remembers about The Cremators.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, yes. Oh, an interesting little film.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Another one ahead of its time.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: That was David....
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: I can't think of his last name at the moment.
• 3:23
  Speaker 7: He was crazy about this movie.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Well, he did The Black Lagoon.
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: We took him to The Black Lagoon.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: And he found that I looked just like another actress.
• 3:35
  Speaker 10: I can't remember her name. But Adams. Miss Adams.
• 3:39
  Speaker 12: And....
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Hired me for.
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: The part and I did like to work.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: There's a film, there's a picture rather on the corner
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: here of it and.
• 3:53
  Speaker 10: I really like science fiction.
• 3:56
  Speaker 8: That was my first science fiction but then Star Wars
• 3:59
  Speaker 8: as I said was the role of all time.
• 4:02
  Speaker 10: So see sometimes it pays just to remind your director
• 4:05
  Speaker 10: of someone else. Because that was the Julie Adams that
• 4:08
  Speaker 10: she was talking about that I guess the director thought
• 4:10
  Speaker 10: she looked like her and that got her foot in
• 4:12
  Speaker 10: the door on this project. So sometimes, you know, that's
• 4:16
  Speaker 10: all the edge you need in Hollywood is just to
• 4:18
  Speaker 10: look like somebody else. Isn't that right, Keira Knightley?
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's true.
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: Or the girl that looks like her.
• 4:24
  Speaker 10: Take that. Her and Skeet Aldridge and all the rest
• 4:28
  Speaker 10: of these bastards that wouldn't have a career if they
• 4:29
  Speaker 10: didn't kind of look sort.
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: Of like somebody that's a little more popular. Or has,
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: you know, anybody heard of, so.
• 4:36
  Speaker 12: Fuck.
• 4:36
  Speaker 11: I don't think Keira Knightley looks so much like Natalie
• 4:38
  Speaker 11: Portman now.
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: She did at the time.
• 4:41
  Speaker 12: She was, yeah.
• 4:42
  Speaker 10: Because at the time, I think when I saw that
• 4:45
  Speaker 10: Phantom Menace, I don't think I realized they weren't just
• 4:47
  Speaker 10: shooting double on her. Like a lot of them were
• 4:51
  Speaker 10: a little further off on some of those scenes. You know,
• 4:53
  Speaker 10: they tried to shoot it from across there because I
• 4:55
  Speaker 10: don't know how much they inserted her. But yeah, there
• 4:57
  Speaker 10: was a lot of the time I don't think I
• 4:59
  Speaker 10: realized that. And it was like years later, I think
• 5:01
  Speaker 10: we were, you know, as usual, I was at discussing
• 5:04
  Speaker 10: some sort of geekery with Misty. And she was like, no,
• 5:06
  Speaker 10: that was her. She's credited in the movie. And then
• 5:09
  Speaker 10: we had to go and check the credits. And there
• 5:11
  Speaker 10: she is.
• 5:11
  Speaker 9: Again, I can't remember.
• 5:12
  Speaker 11: What?
• 5:13
  Speaker 9: Why was she?
• 5:14
  Speaker 10: She was the stand-in queen. She was there to throw
• 5:19
  Speaker 10: them off. She was there.
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: It was her handmaid.
• 5:21
  Speaker 10: And then she was there to step in when she
• 5:23
  Speaker 10: needed somebody to look like her so she could go
• 5:26
  Speaker 10: off and gallivant around the galaxy with a nine-year-old.
• 5:28
  Speaker 9: Like an Elvis impersonator.
• 5:31
  Speaker 10: Kind of.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, or why didn't they just do the Patty Duke
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: route and have two Natalie Portmans?
• 5:37
  Speaker 10: See, that's what I figured. It's not like that was
• 5:39
  Speaker 10: cutting-edge technology. They were doing it on the Patty Duke show.
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 5:42
  Speaker 10: At first, I thought that's what they did on most
• 5:44
  Speaker 10: of it because I wasn't really paying that much attention. But, yeah,
• 5:46
  Speaker 10: only years later. So, yeah, many, many an actor has
• 5:50
  Speaker 10: gotten their foot in the door just by kind of
• 5:53
  Speaker 10: looking like somebody else. All right, all that having been said,
• 5:57
  Speaker 10: we'll throw out the spoiler alert here.
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: But I don't really know what the hell we're.
• 6:01
  Speaker 10: Going to spoil, actually. I think the most you can
• 6:05
  Speaker 10: get out of this, I just gave you in the
• 6:06
  Speaker 10: plot synopsis. But, hey, you know, we said it. So,
• 6:11
  Speaker 10: all right.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: Let's go to town. All right.
• 6:14
  Speaker 10: Where shall we begin?
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: Where's point A?
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Um....
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: You said spoiler? Okay. What the hell was the Native
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: American dude doing running down an ATV trail? That was
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: the first thing that came to mind.
• 6:32
  Speaker 10: Well, hundreds of years ago, when the ATV trail was there,
• 6:37
  Speaker 10: there was a giant meteor thing, some sort of ball
• 6:41
  Speaker 10: of fire that fell to the earth. Right. And there
• 6:43
  Speaker 10: were only two creatures that saw it.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 6:45
  Speaker 10: One was an Indian dude hanging out on the ATV trail.
• 6:48
  Speaker 11: What was the significance of the only two creatures seeing it?
• 6:52
  Speaker 10: Because the earth was empty. 300 years ago.
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: 300 years ago.
• 6:56
  Speaker 10: 300 years ago when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: And a hammerhead shark.
• 7:01
  Speaker 10: And a hammerhead shark and an Indian.
• 7:02
  Speaker 9: But they didn't even call it a hammerhead shark. They
• 7:04
  Speaker 9: called it a fish.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: It was a fish.
• 7:06
  Speaker 9: I'm like, that's not a fucking fish. That's a shark.
• 7:07
  Speaker 10: Well, technically you still fish. Whatever. It's not a mammal.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: They just told some production assistant, get a picture of
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: a fish.
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they just.
• 7:15
  Speaker 10: You know the guy doing the voiceover, which I think
• 7:18
  Speaker 10: is the director, had no idea what the hell they
• 7:20
  Speaker 10: were piecing in, probably. He was doing that like six
• 7:22
  Speaker 10: months beforehand, and then they're like, oh, well, whatever.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: He's a fish.
• 7:25
  Speaker 10: Just run it. That's the only thing we got?
• 7:27
  Speaker 13: Hammerhead?
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: Oh, fuck it.
• 7:28
  Speaker 14: Go with it.
• 7:29
  Speaker 11: They make specific, you know, like an Indian brave, not
• 7:32
  Speaker 11: just like a person.
• 7:33
  Speaker 10: Some dude.
• 7:35
  Speaker 9: But then a fish, and it's not a fish. It's
• 7:37
  Speaker 9: a shark.
• 7:37
  Speaker 11: If you're going to be specific down to the fact
• 7:40
  Speaker 11: that this... to like what tribe he's from even though
• 7:42
  Speaker 11: they don't go into that but I mean they could.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: Have Northern California hippie.
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: Name Jimmy right.
• 7:51
  Speaker 11: It's just a little off balance they could have been
• 7:53
  Speaker 11: like some okay some land mammal and a fish not.
• 7:59
  Speaker 10: Like they didn't do any research you think this is
• 8:02
  Speaker 10: the only thing in this movie that's off balance no
• 8:05
  Speaker 10: there's a good amount off balance in this movie oh So, yeah,
• 8:10
  Speaker 10: there's two creatures that see this thing fall to the earth.
• 8:13
  Speaker 10: One is an Indian brave who then gets chased down
• 8:16
  Speaker 10: the ATV trail and run over and is then.
• 8:22
  Speaker 10: So once again, they really shouldn't have called this movie
• 8:24
  Speaker 10: The Cremators as much as The Cremated.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 8:26
  Speaker 10: Because there really aren't any cremators. It's not like a
• 8:30
  Speaker 10: crazy plot about a mad cult that lives in a
• 8:33
  Speaker 10: crematorium and kidnaps people and burns them alive.
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: That'd be pretty cool. I'd be up for that.
• 8:40
  Speaker 10: No, this is just people who get incinerated by a
• 8:43
  Speaker 10: giant ball of fire. So The Cremators is kind of
• 8:46
  Speaker 10: a misleading title.
• 8:48
  Speaker 9: Much as.
• 8:51
  Speaker 16: blood mania it's a theme and once again if you
• 8:56
  Speaker 16: look at the box art it's awesome and it has
• 8:58
  Speaker 16: nothing to do there's like a girl tied up being
• 9:02
  Speaker 16: you know their clothes ripped off and a burning city
• 9:04
  Speaker 16: behind her and none of that takes place.
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: In this movie not even close.
• 9:09
  Speaker 10: So yeah i don't know what to do with it
• 9:12
  Speaker 10: so yeah the second one was the hammerhead shark Who
• 9:14
  Speaker 10: saw it and snapped at it and then swam away
• 9:17
  Speaker 10: and died.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 9:18
  Speaker 10: So, yeah, it took out the first two creatures that
• 9:21
  Speaker 10: saw it. That kind of gives you an idea of
• 9:24
  Speaker 10: how it's going to go for the rest of the
• 9:25
  Speaker 10: creatures involved.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Oh, Lord.
• 9:28
  Speaker 10: Then we cut ahead 300 years, and it felt like it,
• 9:33
  Speaker 10: to our hippie friend running on the beach.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:37
  Speaker 10: Now, you might as well get used to that shot,
• 9:40
  Speaker 10: because you're going to see a lot of it. Yeah,
• 9:42
  Speaker 10: that was weird. Hippie boy running back and forth on
• 9:45
  Speaker 10: the beach, which I believe you said was David Carradine.
• 9:48
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: Or David Cassidy.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: David Cassidy.
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: David Cassidy.
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: More like David Cassidy.
• 9:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so David Cassidy.
• 9:54
  Speaker 10: Yeah, he definitely.
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: Until they did a close-up.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 9:56
  Speaker 10: From a distance, he had the lame hippie... hey kid,
• 10:00
  Speaker 10: get a haircut kind of hairdo going there. So yeah,
• 10:03
  Speaker 10: he definitely had that look. So it shows him running
• 10:07
  Speaker 10: and running for a long time as the credits are
• 10:10
  Speaker 10: going on. And then it cuts to what may be
• 10:11
  Speaker 10: my favorite scene in the entire damn movie. When it
• 10:16
  Speaker 10: just jump cuts, he's running with his hands by his
• 10:19
  Speaker 10: side the whole rest of the time. Bam, jump cuts
• 10:22
  Speaker 10: to him with his hands up in the air holding
• 10:24
  Speaker 10: a cat.
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: Running down the beach.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: Then this cat enjoys being thrown in the air next
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: to the water.
• 10:32
  Speaker 10: What cat doesn't love to be by the water and
• 10:34
  Speaker 10: being run up and down, you know, slung around through
• 10:38
  Speaker 10: the air? Because cats love that sort of behavior.
• 10:42
  Speaker 11: I hope this stupid hippie got his eyes clawed out
• 10:44
  Speaker 11: after the scene got shot.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: No, that cat died.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: Well, that's what happens when you eat rocks.
• 10:51
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Which.
• 10:53
  Speaker 10: we're getting ahead of ourselves but um yeah that's the
• 10:57
  Speaker 10: that's the funniest damn thing ever that hippie flailing a
• 11:00
  Speaker 10: cat around on the beach is the funniest thing i've
• 11:02
  Speaker 10: seen it's.
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: Like he pulled it out of his pocket yeah it's just.
• 11:05
  Speaker 10: There it's just there and then it cuts and it's
• 11:08
  Speaker 10: not there anymore and we go on with the rest
• 11:10
  Speaker 10: of the story and that had nothing to do with
• 11:12
  Speaker 10: anything but.
• 11:13
  Speaker 11: I just like the irrelevance of the whole scene it
• 11:16
  Speaker 11: was like It doesn't matter if he was running on
• 11:18
  Speaker 11: the beach by himself or with a cat because it
• 11:20
  Speaker 11: had no significance in the movie otherwise.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: This movie's a little too short and we got this
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: footage of the guy running with a cat. Let's throw
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: that in.
• 11:28
  Speaker 10: Yeah, we got a lot of footage of this guy running.
• 11:30
  Speaker 10: What do you want to do with it?
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: Just splice it in anywhere. Whatever.
• 11:35
  Speaker 10: Just randomly throughout the movie.
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: And you know, splice is a good word to use
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: with this movie because normally I don't notice editing that much.
• 11:42
  Speaker 10: Yes. But this.
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: It would jump in and out of a scene. You're like,
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: why are they driving? They were just having sex. Why
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: are they... And you had no... It was about two
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: seconds into every scene when they would actually cut in.
• 11:57
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 11:58
  Speaker 10: We can veer off into the technical aspects here for
• 12:00
  Speaker 10: a minute. No, because there's quite a few. I was
• 12:02
  Speaker 10: getting to them one way or another, so now's a
• 12:05
  Speaker 10: good time as any. I don't know if I've seen
• 12:07
  Speaker 10: anything that made its way out on a regular labeled release.
• 12:11
  Speaker 10: And granted, this is a really cheap DVD.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: But still.
• 12:15
  Speaker 10: that is as choppily edited, and some of it I
• 12:20
  Speaker 10: can't tell if it's just the print, because obviously the
• 12:22
  Speaker 10: people making this DVD didn't put any time or money
• 12:25
  Speaker 10: into restoring it. So this is just whatever print they found,
• 12:28
  Speaker 10: they made a copy and stuck it on DVD and
• 12:30
  Speaker 10: slapped it out there.
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: So I blame them for half-assing the DVD.
• 12:35
  Speaker 10: But again, I can't tell how much of it is
• 12:37
  Speaker 10: also just original, because you can also, I can say
• 12:41
  Speaker 10: this is some of the worst lighting ever. or lack thereof,
• 12:45
  Speaker 10: of any movie I've seen, maybe ever, certainly as a
• 12:49
  Speaker 10: major release.
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: And they never focused any scene at any point. It
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: was like, is that supposed to be? Is that the print? No,
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: they just didn't focus.
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: It's just not really in focus.
• 13:02
  Speaker 10: Oh, yeah. Some of the lighting was just like... It
• 13:05
  Speaker 10: would just be off in the darkness. Sometimes there were silhouettes.
• 13:08
  Speaker 10: There was once it almost looked like it was on purpose.
• 13:10
  Speaker 10: I gave them that. That was maybe trying to be artistic.
• 13:14
  Speaker 10: The rest of it was just bad lighting. And here's
• 13:17
  Speaker 10: the big question I have.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: If....
• 13:20
  Speaker 10: If you already have trouble lighting your scenes during the daytime,
• 13:24
  Speaker 10: why shoot so much at night? Because half of this
• 13:28
  Speaker 10: movie takes place at.
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: Night, and you really can't see what the hell's going on.
• 13:33
  Speaker 10: No. That just seems like bad thinking on your part.
• 13:35
  Speaker 10: I mean, even then you could run back some dailies
• 13:38
  Speaker 10: and be like, wow, I can't even see the actors. Well,
• 13:41
  Speaker 10: six weeks and I choose.
• 13:42
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: I mean, does that seem like a good plan?
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: I think it's.
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: Because you couldn't see the out-of-focusness.
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, and the cremator. You wouldn't be able to
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: see the cremator during the day, which is funny. It's
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: this glowing hot.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: Massive fire people didn't notice until it was 15 feet
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: from them yeah look directly at it.
• 14:12
  Speaker 10: It's it's huge it's this uh bigger than a schooner
• 14:15
  Speaker 10: i think they say so this this fireball bigger than
• 14:19
  Speaker 10: a schooner.
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: Just sneaks up on you yeah.
• 14:21
  Speaker 10: You don't see it coming it's just there it is.
• 14:26
  Speaker 11: And they can't run from it no if there's a
• 14:29
  Speaker 11: path they think to run down that path they don't
• 14:31
  Speaker 11: run to the side.
• 14:32
  Speaker 10: Or that's where the atvs win i mean it's obviously
• 14:36
  Speaker 10: the best way to go and.
• 14:37
  Speaker 11: Then as soon as it's near them they just stop
• 14:40
  Speaker 11: lay down on the ground wait put.
• 14:42
  Speaker 10: Your arms in the right wait wait move your arms
• 14:44
  Speaker 10: a little bit there we go that matches the stock
• 14:46
  Speaker 10: footage of the the dust blowing away that is left
• 14:50
  Speaker 10: over after they're cremated. You get a nice little person
• 14:53
  Speaker 10: outline of dust, and then it just immediately... It gets
• 14:56
  Speaker 10: really windy all of a sudden. Yeah, the wind kicks
• 14:58
  Speaker 10: up all of a sudden.
• 14:59
  Speaker 11: And blows your cremated body's remains away. But I like
• 15:04
  Speaker 11: the fact that at one point, a man.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: His car....
• 15:09
  Speaker 11: Everything he owns is incinerated, but the one thing intact
• 15:13
  Speaker 11: is this canvas mailbag. It destroyed the metal of a car,
• 15:19
  Speaker 11: but this canvas mailbag is totally fine.
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: But it was canvas.
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: Right, and it was U.S.
• 15:23
  Speaker 11: Mail.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: That's untouchable.
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: That's true.
• 15:25
  Speaker 10: You can't destroy it. I've got chucks I've had for years.
• 15:29
  Speaker 10: They're pretty indestructible, that canvas.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: Postmaster General, they know what they're doing.
• 15:35
  Speaker 9: Flame retarded retarded yes i said that on purpose.
• 15:42
  Speaker 10: Oh man so yeah just to wrap up the technicals
• 15:47
  Speaker 10: there um yeah you have some of the worst camera
• 15:49
  Speaker 10: work ever just right shaky cam before they knew it
• 15:52
  Speaker 10: was cool just because they didn't you know bother to
• 15:55
  Speaker 10: put it on a tripod or find some way of
• 15:58
  Speaker 10: securing it so there's a lot of very uh shaky
• 16:01
  Speaker 10: footage going on here You know.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: The one time I did notice at the beginning they
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: were panning with the camera in a few moments and
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: you could tell it was on a tripod and using
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: the hand-mounted, you know, I don't know the technical term.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Handle.
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: And you could see where it would get to a
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: spot that would jump because it wasn't a smooth motion.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: And you're like, just pick it up off the tripod
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: at that point, please. You need to lube up your tripod.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: It ain't running smooth.
• 16:31
  Speaker 10: No, but.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was pretty bad. I think everything was just fucking.
• 16:36
  Speaker 10: Go with it.
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: It really was. And granted, they had no budget. I'll
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: give them that.
• 16:41
  Speaker 10: I think at best they guessed it was $ 50, 000, which
• 16:43
  Speaker 10: I think we estimated last week. I think that was
• 16:45
  Speaker 10: a little high, because to me last week was about
• 16:47
  Speaker 10: twice the budget of this one, at least. So yeah,
• 16:50
  Speaker 10: last week we might have been off a little, because
• 16:52
  Speaker 10: I think they actually said this was like $ 50, 000, which.
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: Is pretty minimal for a movie, but still, you can
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: come out.
• 16:58
  Speaker 10: With a little better quality finished product than this.
• 17:00
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 17:02
  Speaker 10: So, yeah, the only other one I wanted to mention
• 17:04
  Speaker 10: technical-wise is that the, again, this is probably more editing
• 17:08
  Speaker 10: after the fact, and as we stated with the random
• 17:11
  Speaker 10: hippie shots and whatnot, there were just pieced-in insert shots
• 17:16
  Speaker 10: of whatever. If I saw one more shot of that
• 17:20
  Speaker 10: badly framed top of the lighthouse.
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: It was out of focus.
• 17:25
  Speaker 10: Jesus. I mean, seriously, it's not even framed. It's like
• 17:28
  Speaker 10: in the bottom fourth of the frame. It's barely in
• 17:32
  Speaker 10: the picture. And that's such an awesome shot. They put
• 17:34
  Speaker 10: it in there 13 times. At any given moment when
• 17:38
  Speaker 10: they had nothing else to do in the scene, they're
• 17:40
  Speaker 10: just like, cut to that shot.
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: Of the lighthouse no i i think that was it
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: was it was symbolic because it would it was the
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: beacon just like the little rocks were the beacon to
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: its mother that's that that was symbolic usually i'm the
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: only one reaching for this bullshit you didn't take that
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: from that that's what they were.
• 17:58
  Speaker 10: Trying to do thank you thank you for going there
• 18:00
  Speaker 10: because i i need that usually i'm the only one
• 18:03
  Speaker 10: coming up with this shit so yeah i'm sure that's
• 18:05
  Speaker 10: what it was uh.
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: Just horribly um horribly.
• 18:10
  Speaker 10: Executed yeah yeah it's it's just again i think i
• 18:14
  Speaker 10: think you're right i think it's just that fuck it
• 18:15
  Speaker 10: go in it yeah we gotta have this out in
• 18:17
  Speaker 10: the theater by next week just piece it together right what.
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: Do we need to fill uh.
• 18:21
  Speaker 10: We need to be over 60 minutes because it's very
• 18:25
  Speaker 10: short so i think even with the insert shots they
• 18:27
  Speaker 10: were like push in like an hour and 15 minutes
• 18:30
  Speaker 10: or something.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: It's really because it seems a lot it seems.
• 18:33
  Speaker 10: A lot longer but i'm pretty sure it's very short
• 18:36
  Speaker 10: run time There was five solid minutes of him walking
• 18:40
  Speaker 10: through the woods in poorly lit light.
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: Poorly lit light, that's horrible. Out of focus, and you
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: had no idea. You could have done it in 30 seconds,
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: but no, it was five minutes.
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah, which I think is towards the end, right? Okay,
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: we'll get to that then.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry. Well, just to.
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: Finish, let's see, where else?
• 19:01
  Speaker 10: Then we get to the mail carrier who brings him
• 19:04
  Speaker 10: his bug magazines. I wish I would subscribe to Bug Magazines.
• 19:09
  Speaker 10: Why haven't I? can i know they're out there i
• 19:12
  Speaker 10: really need to get a couple of subscriptions going to.
• 19:14
  Speaker 9: My bug magazine i know people who get reptile magazines.
• 19:17
  Speaker 10: Well there are there truthfully there's a magazine for anything
• 19:21
  Speaker 10: no matter how ridiculous and what you think is your
• 19:23
  Speaker 10: own personal thing that you're into there's a magazine devoted
• 19:26
  Speaker 10: to it and it's waiting for you out there.
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: And there's somebody more interested in it than you yeah
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: and there's somebody just waiting to call you out for
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: not being uh schooled enough on whatever the hell it
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: is And then they write an article for that magazine.
• 19:39
  Speaker 10: So, yeah, then we get to where we introduce the
• 19:43
  Speaker 10: female lead, which would be Maria. And they come in
• 19:47
  Speaker 10: and immediately almost go into this weird... I don't know
• 19:51
  Speaker 10: if they were trying to be artistic, or they were
• 19:54
  Speaker 10: just trying to not have to shoot anything extra. Because
• 19:58
  Speaker 10: they're showing these random shots of them together, but then
• 20:00
  Speaker 10: they're doing voiceover that's.
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: Like, it's not matching.
• 20:04
  Speaker 10: It's just voiceover and almost in this weird dreamy little,
• 20:08
  Speaker 10: the whole thing sort of seems like a dream sequence.
• 20:10
  Speaker 10: It's just like a romantic dream sequence.
• 20:12
  Speaker 11: Yeah, they don't know each other, but all of a
• 20:14
  Speaker 11: sudden they're like, oh, nice to meet you.
• 20:16
  Speaker 9: Oh, I love you. I haven't seen you since I
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: was nine. You look so hot now.
• 20:21
  Speaker 10: And these are all during shots of them just like
• 20:23
  Speaker 10: walking down the stairs and him like, helping her he
• 20:26
  Speaker 10: like grabs her by the waist and picks her up
• 20:28
  Speaker 10: as she like walks over i don't know i was
• 20:30
  Speaker 10: like she he's already getting a little hands-on dude's a
• 20:33
  Speaker 10: little uh overstepping the bounds already you know he's.
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: Been stuck on that island with the he's got his
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: bugs he's got his bugs and he's a researcher it's
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: like me yeah and and a lighthouse what you know
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: they said he was a hermit so i'm sure he
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: was just a.
• 20:47
  Speaker 10: Girl exactly actually many listening to this right now will
• 20:51
  Speaker 10: have that same reaction Sorry, guys.
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: I include myself in that.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: That's OK.
• 20:57
  Speaker 10: I can call you out. So, yeah, I actually.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: Thought at the moment when they when they had that scene,
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: I thought that's intentional. That's actually kind of it's kind
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: of a it was like. an established montage of, yes,
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: they spent time together, and now this is after the fact,
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: and they're talking. It almost worked. If that was intentional,
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: that was a pretty good part of the movie.
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: I think, yeah, I was trying to give them credit
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: at that point.
• 21:20
  Speaker 10: It's still early on, so I'm just sort of like, yeah,
• 21:22
  Speaker 10: it's almost artsy, but at the same time it's being, like, succinct.
• 21:26
  Speaker 10: It's also like, well, we don't need to see them
• 21:28
  Speaker 10: stand there and say all this, you know, normal nonsense
• 21:31
  Speaker 10: to each other, so we'll cut it, we'll show the little...
• 21:34
  Speaker 10: relationship as it were progressing in this 20 minute period
• 21:37
  Speaker 10: but we'll cut it down to like you know 90
• 21:39
  Speaker 10: seconds top.
• 21:41
  Speaker 9: I really think they just had terrible.
• 21:43
  Speaker 11: Editing skills because you know it's like as much as
• 21:46
  Speaker 11: you don't want to focus on this relationship aspect you
• 21:51
  Speaker 11: want to show this stupid hippie running down the beach
• 21:53
  Speaker 11: for 45 minutes and then the guy walking through the
• 21:55
  Speaker 11: woods for like another 45 minutes it's a whole movie
• 21:58
  Speaker 11: right there they're like oh this relationship stuff it's gonna
• 22:01
  Speaker 11: take up too much time let's cut it out.
• 22:04
  Speaker 10: Well, they cut it out of the entire relationship. Because
• 22:07
  Speaker 10: once again, we'll enter into the same thing I called
• 22:09
  Speaker 10: him out for last week.
• 22:11
  Speaker 9: Sluts.
• 22:12
  Speaker 10: They knew each other for like a day. And bam,
• 22:14
  Speaker 10: he's already nailing her. I was just like, really? Come on, guys.
• 22:18
  Speaker 10: Have a little restraint. A little taste.
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: It was the 70s. It was the 70s.
• 22:26
  Speaker 9: Things are not different now.
• 22:27
  Speaker 10: Oh, I know. Once again, I just said I'm a dork.
• 22:30
  Speaker 10: I don't come in contact with girls. What do you want?
• 22:33
  Speaker 7: So.
• 22:33
  Speaker 10: once again this seems very strange i i don't understand
• 22:37
  Speaker 10: why he just all of a sudden he doesn't even
• 22:40
  Speaker 10: have to talk to her really i haven't seen you
• 22:42
  Speaker 10: since you were nine years old hey let's go screw
• 22:44
  Speaker 10: right and it works so you got to give him
• 22:46
  Speaker 10: credit because uh yeah then we see the the what
• 22:49
  Speaker 10: did you say the most romantic love scene oh no
• 22:52
  Speaker 10: wait how did you describe it.
• 22:55
  Speaker 11: Uh they just kind of laid their lifeless and she
• 22:57
  Speaker 11: pinched his back a little.
• 22:58
  Speaker 10: Bit yeah yeah and then it was over back action
• 23:01
  Speaker 10: and then there were birds running on the beach and
• 23:06
  Speaker 10: you know what.
• 23:06
  Speaker 17: That means hey if you ever make the birds run
• 23:10
  Speaker 17: on the beach uh-huh you you're going at it pretty
• 23:13
  Speaker 17: good You know, I don't even know what the point
• 23:16
  Speaker 17: of that scene was.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: You didn't show anything.
• 23:18
  Speaker 10: Yeah, this is probably the only movie of the trilogy
• 23:22
  Speaker 10: here that we don't get nudity. So, yeah, it's kind
• 23:25
  Speaker 10: of weird that they bothered even having a love scene
• 23:28
  Speaker 10: when it didn't really... I mean, I guess unless they
• 23:30
  Speaker 10: just wanted to immediately solidify the fact that now they're
• 23:33
  Speaker 10: a couple.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 23:34
  Speaker 10: They're not just random people that sort of know each other. Now,
• 23:37
  Speaker 10: you know, they're a couple, so nothing solidifies that like sex, so.
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: I guess that's still true.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: In the real world, too. I don't know.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, Lord.
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know.
• 23:47
  Speaker 10: Since they didn't show anything, it is kind of weird
• 23:49
  Speaker 10: that they even bothered putting that in there.
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: We had to see his back. We had to have that.
• 23:54
  Speaker 10: Hot man back. Oh, boy.
• 23:58
  Speaker 8: Anyway.
• 23:59
  Speaker 9: I was confused by his job.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: He was into bugs.
• 24:04
  Speaker 11: But people kept calling him doctor, which, I mean, you
• 24:06
  Speaker 11: can be like a doctor of biology or whatever.
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: Bugology.
• 24:10
  Speaker 9: Well, whatever.
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: Entomologist?
• 24:13
  Speaker 9: Yeah, entomology. I don't know.
• 24:15
  Speaker 10: Well, I was trying to think, because that's the thing.
• 24:17
  Speaker 10: As they said it in there, the other guy referred
• 24:19
  Speaker 10: to him as a biologist. I was like, well, if
• 24:21
  Speaker 10: he likes bugs, isn't that an entomologist?
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, yes.
• 24:24
  Speaker 10: I'm a dork, but even I was kind of like,
• 24:26
  Speaker 10: I know the name of a bug doctor.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: He was collecting rocks.
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 24:30
  Speaker 9: Yeah, he could have been.
• 24:34
  Speaker 9: Any number of these things.
• 24:35
  Speaker 11: I guess they just looped it in one big doctor-scientist category. Because,
• 24:40
  Speaker 11: like you said, they referred to him as a biologist.
• 24:42
  Speaker 11: He was clearly an entomologist or a geologist. But then
• 24:46
  Speaker 11: people kept bringing their dead pets to him and calling
• 24:49
  Speaker 11: him doctor.
• 24:50
  Speaker 9: Like he was like a vet.
• 24:51
  Speaker 10: Like a vet or just town doctor or something. No,
• 24:54
  Speaker 10: but this is my favorite part of the whole weird
• 24:57
  Speaker 10: science thing. This is how you know he's into science.
• 25:01
  Speaker 10: Because you go into his house slash lab, whatever the
• 25:03
  Speaker 10: hell that was. They only had one room in there,
• 25:05
  Speaker 10: so they kept going to that.
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: They had a clock on the wall.
• 25:07
  Speaker 10: It was pretty fancy.
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: Paneling and a clock on the wall.
• 25:10
  Speaker 10: So you go into this fancy set, and you know
• 25:13
  Speaker 10: he's into science because there's a fish tank there. But
• 25:16
  Speaker 10: it wasn't... And it's a bubbling.
• 25:18
  Speaker 9: But it wasn't serving the purpose of a fish tank.
• 25:21
  Speaker 9: It was part of his.
• 25:22
  Speaker 11: lab set like there was like a jar of barbicide
• 25:27
  Speaker 11: and a bubbling fish tank and some other jars of
• 25:30
  Speaker 11: stuff that would like bubble and do stuff but it's.
• 25:32
  Speaker 10: Not like it was a fish tank like there was
• 25:34
  Speaker 10: gravel in the bottom and fish swimmer it's a 10
• 25:36
  Speaker 10: gallon tank completely empty other than water with bubbles coming
• 25:41
  Speaker 10: up what the fuck purpose does that serve.
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: And there was a microscope in front of it He
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: was bunts and honeydew at that point.
• 25:48
  Speaker 10: Yeah, a bubble and fish tank and a microscope equals science.
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: At least he didn't have a beaker with a green
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: liquid foaming or something like that.
• 26:00
  Speaker 10: He still needs a little bzzz. Unless you have the,
• 26:04
  Speaker 10: what the hell are those called? Unless you have one
• 26:06
  Speaker 10: of those. I mean, how are you going to call
• 26:08
  Speaker 10: yourself a mad scientist? So I guess he was like
• 26:10
  Speaker 10: a sane scientist. Boring.
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: Boring. And it was boring.
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: But one thing I do know that he was not,
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: his buddy the physicist, when he came to town, he
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: made sure to clarify that he was the physicist, not
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: the biologist.
• 26:24
  Speaker 10: Yeah, he pointed out a couple of times he was
• 26:26
  Speaker 10: the physicist. And they were both well-regarded in their field
• 26:29
  Speaker 10: or something to that effect. They liked to point out
• 26:31
  Speaker 10: that they were quite schooled.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Are you saying this is what killed that seaman?
• 26:39
  Speaker 15: That's the container that I mailed those two droplets to
• 26:42
  Speaker 15: you in. Only when I found this, the two droplets
• 26:46
  Speaker 15: were missing. Anything that can do that to a piece
• 26:51
  Speaker 15: of metal can do a pretty good job on a
• 26:54
  Speaker 15: human body, wouldn't you say so?
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: Ian, I'm a physicist. As you're a biologist, we both
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: deal in scientific facts. What's yours say?
• 27:05
  Speaker 15: But Willie, two men were burned to death.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Well, it could be what the medical examiner thinks.
• 27:18
  Speaker 12: A car overturned.
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: Or lightning.
• 27:25
  Speaker 14: You're not really that skeptical, are you?
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: No.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: I'm just baffled.
• 27:32
  Speaker 10: Which didn't really help him in most of this.
• 27:34
  Speaker 11: Well, I guess if you don't have the acting skills
• 27:36
  Speaker 11: to portray that you're a physicist and the director or
• 27:40
  Speaker 11: the person writing the movie can't. How do these people
• 27:45
  Speaker 11: know that this guy's a physicist? Oh, he's going to
• 27:47
  Speaker 11: have to say it four times.
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: We can't spring for lab codes.
• 27:51
  Speaker 10: He had like a blazer.
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: Come on. I mean, in that town, that makes him
• 27:54
  Speaker 7: a scientist.
• 27:56
  Speaker 10: You've got the town hick that's the sheriff, and you've
• 27:59
  Speaker 10: got the guy with the giant beard and the bald head.
• 28:02
  Speaker 10: I mean, among these yokels, the guy in the blazer
• 28:05
  Speaker 10: is a scientist, let me tell you. I don't know.
• 28:10
  Speaker 10: I guess we can address now what the.
• 28:13
  Speaker 10: What these creatures are at best we can because i'm
• 28:16
  Speaker 10: still not 100 sure right so should we start with
• 28:21
  Speaker 10: the rocks or the fireballs no start with the rocks
• 28:23
  Speaker 10: they started with the okay there's rocks they look like
• 28:27
  Speaker 10: rocks they kind of have a weird paint job or
• 28:29
  Speaker 10: something there's some yellow paint on them or something and
• 28:33
  Speaker 10: then they glow and sometimes they make a little titty
• 28:38
  Speaker 10: noise but nobody else seems to be able to hear
• 28:40
  Speaker 10: that except for us that's the magic of movie making
• 28:42
  Speaker 10: I guess because they see them glowing but they don't
• 28:44
  Speaker 10: really hear the noise like we do we get that
• 28:46
  Speaker 10: benefit at home so yeah they're living entities I suppose
• 28:55
  Speaker 10: pieces of a larger living entity and they think.
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: And they can roll and they can burn through things.
• 29:03
  Speaker 10: And they scoot.
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: And they can scoot. But not too far or too fast.
• 29:07
  Speaker 11: No.
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: Because you can just put them back if you want to.
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: And you'd think that would piss them off since they
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: have personality.
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: I feel like Mexican jumping beans.
• 29:14
  Speaker 10: They really should have been.
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that would have been cool.
• 29:16
  Speaker 10: And then like giant moths would have busted out of
• 29:18
  Speaker 10: them and attacked their face.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 29:19
  Speaker 10: Once again, I'm making many better movies.
• 29:22
  Speaker 11: Actually, yeah, because I'm horribly afraid of moths. I mean,
• 29:25
  Speaker 11: today I was locking my door and this moth flew
• 29:28
  Speaker 11: at me and I screamed and Started jumping and almost
• 29:31
  Speaker 11: fell off my step, which is about four feet tall,
• 29:33
  Speaker 11: so I could have been killed today by a moth.
• 29:36
  Speaker 10: I thought you were locking it from the moth, like
• 29:38
  Speaker 10: he was going to turn the doorknob and.
• 29:40
  Speaker 9: don't know why I'm so afraid of them. I think
• 29:43
  Speaker 9: it's because they're just so.
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: Fluttery?
• 29:46
  Speaker 9: I don't know. They're dusty and they're just ugly.
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: A nighttime butterfly?
• 29:51
  Speaker 14: I don't like them.
• 29:51
  Speaker 9: I don't like butterflies either.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: Oh, well.
• 29:54
  Speaker 10: That's anti-girly.
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: What's wrong with you?
• 29:56
  Speaker 9: I don't know.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: I hate.
• 29:58
  Speaker 11: anything with butterfly motif on it naturally but no just
• 30:02
  Speaker 11: in general like my friends porches infested with butterflies and
• 30:06
  Speaker 11: they always want to like attack my face like laying on.
• 30:09
  Speaker 9: My face and bait on my face I'm like.
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: I'd hate them too if they were mating on my.
• 30:14
  Speaker 10: Face please stop fucking on my face it's not too much.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: To ask.
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: God that would have been a better.
• 30:23
  Speaker 10: Movie yeah really once again we're up to like three
• 30:26
  Speaker 10: more awesome movies sorry the cremator.
• 30:31
  Speaker 9: Yeah but um I don't even know why we're talking about.
• 30:35
  Speaker 10: Moths but Mexican jumping beans that these rocks weren't so
• 30:41
  Speaker 10: yeah they just sort of lay there and glow and
• 30:43
  Speaker 10: glow and lay there most of the time I really
• 30:46
  Speaker 10: don't even see them move until the very end I
• 30:47
  Speaker 10: thought they just were rocks and then toward the end
• 30:50
  Speaker 10: I was like oh I guess they're semi-functional living beings
• 30:54
  Speaker 10: and they move around and yeah I don't know so
• 30:57
  Speaker 10: and if you touch them Your hands will glow. That's right.
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: Only if you slap them together.
• 31:02
  Speaker 10: If you clap like a hippie, because the hippie loves
• 31:06
  Speaker 10: to clap his hands and show you that his hands glow.
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 31:12
  Speaker 10: It makes no real sense as to why they glow.
• 31:15
  Speaker 10: I guess it's just residual space dust on your.
• 31:18
  Speaker 17: Hands, but.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 31:20
  Speaker 10: It doesn't really serve any purpose. Nothing really happens because
• 31:23
  Speaker 10: of it, right?
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: Your hands just glow.
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: I think they suspected that they may come after them, too.
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: But they didn't really.
• 31:29
  Speaker 16: No.
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: They were just coming after the leftover rocks.
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 31:32
  Speaker 10: So that's basically our plot here. What it comes down
• 31:35
  Speaker 10: to is the big entity, the fireball, is the mama.
• 31:40
  Speaker 10: And during the crash landing, you lose a whole bunch
• 31:43
  Speaker 10: of the little baby rocks. So then basically the whole
• 31:46
  Speaker 10: movie is just the mama collecting the babies. And in
• 31:49
  Speaker 10: the process, anybody who gets in the way or pisses
• 31:52
  Speaker 10: them off gets taken out incinerator style. That's pretty much it.
• 31:58
  Speaker 9: You'd think she could have... She's had 300 years to
• 32:00
  Speaker 9: do this.
• 32:01
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 32:01
  Speaker 10: And can't she make the ting-ting noise and call them
• 32:03
  Speaker 10: to her? I mean, they can scoot. Can't they just
• 32:05
  Speaker 10: come and, like, find her?
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: And, you know, she collected 30 of them in the
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: course of two days. 300 years.
• 32:13
  Speaker 10: Yeah. Well, and they never really spell out exactly what's
• 32:17
  Speaker 10: going on with the timeline because then there's, like, the
• 32:20
  Speaker 10: legend that says it's, like, every 100 years it comes out.
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: So it's like.
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: why i mean why does.
• 32:25
  Speaker 10: This entity from another you know planet or wherever need
• 32:29
  Speaker 10: to rest for 100 years at a time and then
• 32:32
  Speaker 10: come out and eat people or whatever the hell it
• 32:36
  Speaker 10: does just incinerate them and then go back to napping
• 32:38
  Speaker 10: in the bottom of the lake.
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: Or wherever whatever it.
• 32:42
  Speaker 10: Does i mean again it doesn't spell out any of
• 32:44
  Speaker 10: the specifics in this for two guys who know so
• 32:46
  Speaker 10: much about science You think they would tell you exactly
• 32:49
  Speaker 10: what the hell's going on in this scientific plot, but.
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: He said physicist, but not astrophysicist. So, you know, he
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: was kind of.
• 32:55
  Speaker 10: Physicists?
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: They're dumbasses.
• 32:57
  Speaker 10: You're not an astrophysicist. Don't waste my time.
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: If you're a physicist, I'm sorry.
• 33:03
  Speaker 10: So, uh, yeah. I'm sure we have a huge listenership
• 33:08
  Speaker 10: of physicists.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: Neil deGrasse Tyson actually listens to the show.
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: He wrote in last week. I don't know what you're
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: talking about.
• 33:15
  Speaker 10: Yeah, we never really figure out exactly what the scenario
• 33:18
  Speaker 10: is as to why it's gone for certain periods of time,
• 33:21
  Speaker 10: why it's taken 300 years to collect all these.
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: And we're sure that they don't know either.
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely.
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: Harry Essex, the writer and director.
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: Well, while we're covering the mother, I did want to
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: point out that the flaming ball is, what, 15, 20
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: feet high, probably? Bigger than a schooner. Bigger than a schooner,
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: but it does look like a glowing cheese ball. A
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: planter's cheese ball. A planter's cheese ball, yeah, that rolls
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: after you. So if we need that visual image, that's
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: pretty much what it is.
• 33:51
  Speaker 10: Truthfully, I have to say, of all the cheesiness and
• 33:53
  Speaker 10: bad stuff going on in here, I like the fireballs.
• 33:56
  Speaker 7: Once again, I'm, like, perpetually six years old, and I'm like.
• 34:00
  Speaker 10: Cool, rolling fireball. Like, I still, there's part of it that, yes,
• 34:04
  Speaker 10: it's cheesy. Yes, the images look really bad, but there's
• 34:08
  Speaker 10: part of me that's still.
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: Like, oh, awesome.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: Fire.
• 34:11
  Speaker 10: Fire.
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: In a ball, rolling it.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: People, look, it ain't that dude.
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: It never leaves a charred wake behind it. And they
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: didn't even throw down some dark dust. Yeah, I like
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: that it didn't.
• 34:24
  Speaker 11: Incinerate anything other than the person. Except that one time
• 34:27
  Speaker 11: it incinerated the car. But not the ground or the
• 34:31
  Speaker 11: bushes or anything else.
• 34:33
  Speaker 7: And again, am I just reaching?
• 34:36
  Speaker 10: Or was it underwater the whole time?
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: Mostly.
• 34:39
  Speaker 10: So... How does fire keep being fire underwater? I mean,
• 34:43
  Speaker 10: I know it's an alien entity and it does whatever
• 34:45
  Speaker 10: the hell it wants, but I mean, if it were
• 34:46
  Speaker 10: following the rules of fire, which it seems to when
• 34:48
  Speaker 10: it burns the hell out of these people, wouldn't water
• 34:51
  Speaker 10: be a bad place for you to go and hide?
• 34:52
  Speaker 9: Some, yeah.
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: I mean, really.
• 34:56
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: You know, it did say that if you put the
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: rocks in a bucket of water, a bucket of ice,
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: wasn't it, that it would probably melt the pail before
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: it melted the ice?
• 35:06
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 35:07
  Speaker 7: I don't know how the physicists knew.
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: That or why that would work. Or what that means.
• 35:12
  Speaker 10: What's the science behind that?
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: In physics, that doesn't work.
• 35:16
  Speaker 7: It's a cool fact.
• 35:17
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 35:18
  Speaker 7: I don't know what it means.
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: I don't know how you tested that theory in a lab,
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: but he did. I got a bucket.
• 35:24
  Speaker 10: Let's test his mother.
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: And apparently the best physicist in the world is in
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: Ann Arbor, Michigan. So it must be at University of Michigan?
• 35:33
  Speaker 7: I believe, yeah. That's where he was shipping it off.
• 35:35
  Speaker 10: So, yeah.
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: Michigan.
• 35:37
  Speaker 10: That explains a lot, actually.
• 35:39
  Speaker 12: Michigan.
• 35:40
  Speaker 10: Look out.
• 35:41
  Speaker 9: Look out, like Harvard, Yale, and Brown.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: MIT, no.
• 35:48
  Speaker 10: Just go up there next to the crazy gunmen off
• 35:51
  Speaker 10: stockpiling ammunition.
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: And if you're a physics student at University of Michigan,
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: let us know if you've got a good department.
• 35:59
  Speaker 10: Or if you have a militia up there.
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: Whichever of the two.
• 36:05
  Speaker 10: Man, I hope we hear from Michigan now. We're trying
• 36:08
  Speaker 10: to get different areas to come in. Last week it
• 36:10
  Speaker 10: was like Connecticut. This week, Michigan.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: Michigan.
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: Call out a whole state.
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: There you go.
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: Each week we pick a state.
• 36:19
  Speaker 10: Let's hear it, Tennessee.
• 36:21
  Speaker 15: They generate heat, as you probably know. I found out
• 36:26
  Speaker 15: the hard way.
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: Sure you didn't try to do your own cooking?
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: Where did you find those little mouths?
• 36:33
  Speaker 15: The two I sent you came out of a dog's stomach.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Observe my findings. And you were almost right when you
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: said it generates heat. It gives off long infrared rays.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: mostly stacked up around 200,000 angstroms. But its energy is
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: way out of proportion to what you'd expect of the equation. Also,
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: it's an individualist. Sometimes, a slight nudge will set it
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: off like a rocket. And then again, you can hit
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: it with a sledgehammer, and it won't perform at all,
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: even some.
• 37:02
  Speaker 10: Dune rollers is what they're called right officially that is
• 37:06
  Speaker 10: the legend and it actually is um it's based on
• 37:09
  Speaker 10: a a book that was uh originally was published as
• 37:12
  Speaker 10: julian c may who then later it's actually a woman
• 37:16
  Speaker 10: named judy so it's judy um i think what her
• 37:20
  Speaker 10: last name then becomes she gets married and she's judy
• 37:24
  Speaker 10: diskeys which is um how they credit her in the
• 37:27
  Speaker 10: in the beginning of the movie there but yeah it's
• 37:29
  Speaker 10: based on her short story the dune rollers Which I'm
• 37:33
  Speaker 10: kind of interested to see if they actually spell anything
• 37:35
  Speaker 10: out in the short story.
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 37:36
  Speaker 10: I don't know. Maybe if the book was better. Could be.
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: Maybe this is.
• 37:41
  Speaker 10: There's also a... I don't think I'd ever seen the
• 37:43
  Speaker 10: show Tales of Tomorrow.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: No.
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: There's a.
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: Around that.
• 37:47
  Speaker 10: It's like a Twilight Zone, Outer Limits time period.
• 37:50
  Speaker 7: Like 52, I think. So it's... Right?
• 37:52
  Speaker 10: A little early, actually. But yeah, there's an episode of
• 37:55
  Speaker 10: that called The Dune Roller that's also based on the
• 37:57
  Speaker 10: same story. So I kind of need to go track
• 38:00
  Speaker 10: this down and see if they make sense of it.
• 38:01
  Speaker 11: All other formats of this were much better.
• 38:04
  Speaker 10: The hell you say. I can't believe that. Where do
• 38:09
  Speaker 10: we even go from here? We have the big boat scene.
• 38:12
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 38:13
  Speaker 10: Then we get Maria driving a boat, not very fast.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: No.
• 38:18
  Speaker 10: And suddenly the guy realizes she's got the rock in
• 38:22
  Speaker 10: the boat with her. So then Mama decides to chase her.
• 38:26
  Speaker 10: So you've got a big boat scene or a big
• 38:28
  Speaker 10: chase scene on the boat, on the water with fire
• 38:31
  Speaker 10: on the water rolling, which again, I'm not sure how
• 38:34
  Speaker 10: that works. And she's not going very fast.
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: And she avoids it by turning.
• 38:41
  Speaker 10: Well.
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah. That buys her more time, which... Serpentine.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: Just like the Indian running at the beginning.
• 38:48
  Speaker 10: It can't keep up with you if you keep changing directions.
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: Right, right.
• 38:51
  Speaker 9: It's true for alligators.
• 38:53
  Speaker 13: Yeah, see?
• 38:53
  Speaker 10: Alligators, balls of fire, whatever's chasing you, just.
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: And it didn't have an ATV trail to follow, so.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: It gets lost.
• 38:59
  Speaker 10: That's how you do it.
• 39:00
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: You know, I.
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: didn't understand her whole point in the movie they needed
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: a girl right that's about it we need a female
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: lead hmm.
• 39:11
  Speaker 10: How about you right what do i do i don't
• 39:14
  Speaker 10: care there's.
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: Really but there's really other than a to a love
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: interest which really doesn't yeah the thing there's not.
• 39:19
  Speaker 10: Much they don't they don't really pan out the love
• 39:21
  Speaker 10: interest thing and they don't really um go into anything
• 39:25
  Speaker 10: oh i mean she doesn't do anything other than that
• 39:27
  Speaker 10: big chase scene and then sort of show up at
• 39:29
  Speaker 10: a other occasions along the way. But yeah, she's not
• 39:32
  Speaker 10: really involved in anything other than that chase scene pretty
• 39:35
  Speaker 10: much for the rest of the movie.
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: You just want her to squeeze his back.
• 39:39
  Speaker 10: I guess. Who doesn't want a little back squeezing?
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: I mean, come on.
• 39:43
  Speaker 9: That just sounds gross. Isn't that like in a perverted
• 39:45
  Speaker 9: gross way? It just sounds gross.
• 39:47
  Speaker 10: I don't know why.
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: They're squeezing my back.
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: Ugh.
• 39:52
  Speaker 10: But what's funny is I've seen an interview with her,
• 39:55
  Speaker 10: not even of the one we did, but there's another
• 39:57
  Speaker 10: one where she's talking about this, and it's funny how much...
• 39:59
  Speaker 10: I guess even in these... I mean, I guess you're
• 40:01
  Speaker 10: an actor, period. You know, regardless of what your project is,
• 40:04
  Speaker 10: no matter how low budget or how cheesy it is,
• 40:07
  Speaker 10: it's like you still sort of approach it the same way.
• 40:10
  Speaker 7: Because she went into.
• 40:11
  Speaker 10: And she was talking about her character's motivation and how she...
• 40:15
  Speaker 10: You know, why she's coming back to town and how
• 40:17
  Speaker 10: she'd gotten out of a relationship. And that's why she
• 40:19
  Speaker 10: initially doesn't want to be involved in him. I'm like, well,
• 40:22
  Speaker 10: 20 minutes later, you're screwed.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: But.
• 40:24
  Speaker 10: But, yeah, she doesn't want to be involved with him,
• 40:25
  Speaker 10: and she's still kind of, you know, she's standoffish, and
• 40:28
  Speaker 10: she doesn't want to get into it. So, I mean,
• 40:30
  Speaker 10: she brought all this into the storyline, and I'm like,
• 40:32
  Speaker 10: but it's not even in the storyline. So it's, I
• 40:35
  Speaker 10: don't know, it's sort of interesting just the artistic process
• 40:38
  Speaker 10: that she's still, you know, trying to put this much
• 40:41
  Speaker 10: work into the character, even when it's not in the
• 40:43
  Speaker 10: script itself.
• 40:44
  Speaker 11: I have a feeling that, you know, no one involved
• 40:48
  Speaker 11: in this movie could see how bad it was.
• 40:50
  Speaker 9: They thought it would be this, like, amazing artistic masterpiece.
• 40:53
  Speaker 11: So they just went with it, and when they watched
• 40:55
  Speaker 11: it at the end, they're like, are you fucking kidding me?
• 40:58
  Speaker 10: I don't even think it was that. I think it
• 40:59
  Speaker 10: was more of, I mean, again, look at a lot
• 41:01
  Speaker 10: of the stuff at this time period, some of which
• 41:04
  Speaker 10: we've watched in the last few months here. I mean, granted,
• 41:07
  Speaker 10: the quality on the lighting and editing is a little worse,
• 41:10
  Speaker 10: but I mean, the plot line and the acting, a
• 41:12
  Speaker 10: lot of it's not really any worse. I think this
• 41:14
  Speaker 10: was just a whole period of like... Just get it out. Yeah, well,
• 41:18
  Speaker 10: just like Grindhouse kind of stuff. And it was like,
• 41:20
  Speaker 10: just get it out there. Just, you know, we've got
• 41:22
  Speaker 10: a poster. Make a movie that sort of matches this poster.
• 41:26
  Speaker 7: Go.
• 41:26
  Speaker 10: You know, so they weren't really overly concerned with specifics
• 41:30
  Speaker 10: or sometimes even screenwriting or any of that. Which is
• 41:34
  Speaker 10: weird because this is actually a, you know, we can
• 41:37
  Speaker 10: give the director hell just for making this movie. And
• 41:40
  Speaker 10: keep in mind the year before this, he also made
• 41:41
  Speaker 10: the movie Octoman.
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 41:44
  Speaker 7: A man with eight arms and looks like an Octoman.
• 41:47
  Speaker 7: Look it up on YouTube.
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Octoman.
• 41:49
  Speaker 10: So he maybe made some questionable choices as a director,
• 41:53
  Speaker 10: but we have to give him credit as a writer.
• 41:54
  Speaker 10: This is the guy who did co-write the original classic
• 41:57
  Speaker 10: creature from the black lagoon. So, I mean, he, he
• 42:00
  Speaker 10: wrote that, he wrote, it came from outer space. He
• 42:02
  Speaker 10: wrote the sons of Katie elder. I mean, he actually
• 42:05
  Speaker 10: worked consistently for over 30 years in Hollywood, just writing
• 42:08
  Speaker 10: scripts like year in and year out. And, um, seemed
• 42:11
  Speaker 10: to be drawn to sci-fi and westerns and crime dramas
• 42:14
  Speaker 10: did like a lot of dragnet and did like a
• 42:17
  Speaker 10: just a bunch of them along the way that were
• 42:19
  Speaker 10: just fell into like those three categories and i don't
• 42:22
  Speaker 10: know i give him credit as a writer which is
• 42:24
  Speaker 10: weird because it doesn't come off in this movie right
• 42:27
  Speaker 10: but um yeah he may have just should have stuck
• 42:29
  Speaker 10: to writing.
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: There was a whole lot of mystery elements to this
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: story i mean they really played it wasn't just a
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: monster movie or a drive-in yeah we're gonna you know
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: it was it most of the film was hey let's
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: figure out what's going.
• 42:44
  Speaker 10: On yeah they set it up like it is yeah
• 42:46
  Speaker 10: i mean the conventions of it is almost like because
• 42:49
  Speaker 10: early on really i said this is kind of like
• 42:51
  Speaker 10: the blob and i'm like well i mean there is
• 42:53
  Speaker 10: that aspect of this thing falls to the planet and
• 42:56
  Speaker 10: then you know people are wandering around trying to find
• 42:58
  Speaker 10: something there's there's elements that could have fallen into it's
• 43:01
  Speaker 10: just another monster movie like the blob Granted, this isn't
• 43:03
  Speaker 10: here as cool as the blob, but... No, the.
• 43:06
  Speaker 11: Reason I was comparing it to the blob, though, is
• 43:08
  Speaker 11: because it's just like this big mess that people have
• 43:10
  Speaker 11: no idea how to escape from.
• 43:11
  Speaker 9: Oh, my God, it's going to get me, and I
• 43:13
  Speaker 9: don't know what to do. That's why it's like the blob.
• 43:16
  Speaker 10: But go ahead the blob's awesome so um but yeah
• 43:19
  Speaker 10: i don't know what were you saying before.
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah no just oh the mystery mystery yeah and detective
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: story i think i think you can see those elements
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: in it now that you say that about dragnet so.
• 43:29
  Speaker 10: Yeah yeah i mean it does again i think it
• 43:31
  Speaker 10: sets it up much like a like a monster from
• 43:34
  Speaker 10: space kind of movie early on and there is that
• 43:36
  Speaker 10: little like trying to figure out what it is that
• 43:39
  Speaker 10: comes in later. Once the other physicist comes in, and
• 43:42
  Speaker 10: there are a lot of scenes with them just going
• 43:44
  Speaker 10: back and forth and talking, occasionally you can't understand them because,
• 43:48
  Speaker 10: once again, somebody on the foley needed to get together
• 43:51
  Speaker 10: because sometimes things don't match up. Sometimes sound effects just
• 43:55
  Speaker 10: sort of don't happen, you know. And then, yeah, even
• 43:58
  Speaker 10: just the dialogue doesn't come through sometimes. But, eh, you
• 44:02
  Speaker 10: don't really worry about it, really.
• 44:03
  Speaker 11: So.
• 44:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but there is.
• 44:05
  Speaker 10: A lot of explanation thrown in or them throwing theories
• 44:09
  Speaker 10: back and forth in the middle. I mean, you can
• 44:10
  Speaker 10: see writing there, but I don't know. It's still not
• 44:14
  Speaker 10: enough to really save the whole of this movie. But
• 44:17
  Speaker 10: you can see where there's still elements of what he
• 44:20
  Speaker 10: had done the whole rest of his career. This was
• 44:22
  Speaker 10: actually towards the end. He did a few other things like...
• 44:25
  Speaker 10: I think one in the 80s and one in the 90s.
• 44:27
  Speaker 10: But this was about the last big project that he had.
• 44:30
  Speaker 10: This was at the end of, seriously, year in and
• 44:32
  Speaker 10: year out, consistently putting things out since the 40s. Wow.
• 44:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he did a lot of work over the years.
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: Burnt out.
• 44:39
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I think he just burnt out. Giant ball of fire. Anyway,
• 44:43
  Speaker 10: so yeah, I think this was just sort of coming
• 44:46
  Speaker 10: to the end of his career. And after Octoman and
• 44:49
  Speaker 10: this one, I think he was ready.
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: To wrap it up.
• 44:52
  Speaker 10: The one thing that I know, and this is one that, because, again,
• 44:55
  Speaker 10: we've watched a good amount of, like, movies from this
• 44:58
  Speaker 10: time period, and it involves some sort of giant creature, usually,
• 45:02
  Speaker 10: or something along those lines that comes in, and they
• 45:05
  Speaker 10: always end up having.
• 45:05
  Speaker 7: A huge, like, ecological angle to it.
• 45:09
  Speaker 10: This really doesn't. For a guy who's all about science, and,
• 45:12
  Speaker 10: you know, you've got this thing from outer space, and
• 45:14
  Speaker 10: there's so many ways that they could have worked it
• 45:16
  Speaker 10: where they really sort of, you know, heavy-handedly played upon that, and, like.
• 45:21
  Speaker 7: Well, the reason it's here is because.
• 45:22
  Speaker 10: You're ruining the planet Earth, or just it's here because
• 45:27
  Speaker 10: your whole system's out of balance, especially with a hippie
• 45:30
  Speaker 10: in the middle of it. This hippie character could have
• 45:32
  Speaker 10: been there really preaching, or the scientists could have been
• 45:35
  Speaker 10: given all these scientific reasons that were destroying the ozone,
• 45:39
  Speaker 10: and that's why the fireball came down, which I don't
• 45:41
  Speaker 10: think they care about ozone yet.
• 45:42
  Speaker 7: That's like 10 years later, but.
• 45:45
  Speaker 10: five but so yeah i don't know it definitely could
• 45:49
  Speaker 10: have gone that way and most movies at this time
• 45:51
  Speaker 10: period seem to and this one doesn't it's just missing.
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: But they he's his little dialogue at the beginning when
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: he's reading into his recorder he did talk about how
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: ecologically and biologically we're not seeing things that we used
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: to see yeah things aren't showing up where they should
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: be and it almost seems like either they started out
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: trying to go down that route and then thought, you know,
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: we can't mesh our fireball with ecology in any way,
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: but we have to throw that in there or after
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: the fact they threw it in.
• 46:20
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 46:20
  Speaker 10: Cause it was a voiceover.
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: So it could have been, it could have been either,
• 46:24
  Speaker 5: either or, but the, they did try for a little while.
• 46:27
  Speaker 10: It seemed like, yeah, it seemed like they set it up,
• 46:28
  Speaker 10: but then they just don't like most of the other,
• 46:31
  Speaker 10: like just about all of the giant monster movies we've
• 46:33
  Speaker 10: watched for the last, or is all like, really heavy
• 46:36
  Speaker 10: handed with you and your DDT or your whole, you know,
• 46:39
  Speaker 10: ecological systems out of whack. And you have this creature
• 46:42
  Speaker 10: has to be there to balance out this creature. And like,
• 46:44
  Speaker 10: they all have this message of some sort that they're
• 46:47
  Speaker 10: trying to put out there. And this could have gone
• 46:49
  Speaker 10: that route and really tried to, you know, shove something
• 46:51
  Speaker 10: down your throat.
• 46:52
  Speaker 7: I'm kind of. pleased that it does.
• 46:55
  Speaker 10: I mean, after a while, some of the other ones
• 46:56
  Speaker 10: all get too heavy handed about it, where this was
• 46:58
  Speaker 10: kind of like refreshing the fact that they.
• 47:00
  Speaker 7: Just let it go.
• 47:01
  Speaker 13: That's a big ball of fire and it kills people.
• 47:03
  Speaker 13: So let's go with that. You know, and, but there,
• 47:06
  Speaker 13: you know, there was no morality to it. Actually, it didn't,
• 47:10
  Speaker 13: it wasn't even searching these people out. It just wanted
• 47:12
  Speaker 13: it's the rest of its being backed with it. And
• 47:15
  Speaker 13: it didn't even acknowledge that, that we were human or alive.
• 47:19
  Speaker 13: You know, I just said, well, we just, happened to
• 47:22
  Speaker 13: be in the way it wasn't chasing anyone down it
• 47:25
  Speaker 13: just was going after what it had so um we
• 47:28
  Speaker 13: were bugs i think and him being a bug doctor
• 47:31
  Speaker 13: yeah maybe that's why we were seen as bugs and
• 47:34
  Speaker 13: we'll squash it to get what we need.
• 47:36
  Speaker 10: He yeah he mentions that that's probably the the only
• 47:39
  Speaker 10: minor thing they work in it's probably a little bigger
• 47:42
  Speaker 10: aspect that they were going for that we are It
• 47:45
  Speaker 10: is sort of looking at that or just trying to
• 47:48
  Speaker 10: introduce that type of thought that, you know, that you're
• 47:51
  Speaker 10: not the center of the universe. That really, you know,
• 47:54
  Speaker 10: what we think is so important here to some other
• 47:56
  Speaker 10: being somewhere else, you're insignificant. So we are the top
• 47:59
  Speaker 10: of the food chain here and everything revolves around human beings.
• 48:02
  Speaker 10: But we don't pay any attention to bugs and they're
• 48:04
  Speaker 10: just as, you know, they're living creatures too. So why
• 48:07
  Speaker 10: is it that on some other planet this giant ball
• 48:09
  Speaker 10: of fire can't do whatever the hell it wants and we're.
• 48:12
  Speaker 7: Just as insignificant? So, yeah, it definitely... works.
• 48:15
  Speaker 10: That in again pretty minorly it doesn't overwhelm you with
• 48:18
  Speaker 10: it but that's probably the only other bigger sort of
• 48:22
  Speaker 10: theme that could be coming into.
• 48:23
  Speaker 7: This if there is anything on this one No.
• 48:29
  Speaker 5: They just threw it all together and put it out.
• 48:31
  Speaker 10: Yeah, pretty much.
• 48:31
  Speaker 5: I think they tried. I think they were going to,
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: and I think they were just like, you know what,
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: let's just get this out.
• 48:37
  Speaker 7: Hurry up. More dead bodies blowing away in the wind.
• 48:39
  Speaker 5: They could have had some more dead bodies.
• 48:40
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it's actually pretty minor on the killings there. There's what,
• 48:44
  Speaker 10: like three, four total?
• 48:46
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 48:48
  Speaker 5: You never get a woman who dies and is screaming.
• 48:50
  Speaker 5: You always expect that. Maria does a little screaming along
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: the way. Spoiler alert.
• 48:55
  Speaker 10: She survives.
• 48:59
  Speaker 5: I think you might have already mentioned it.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.
• 49:03
  Speaker 10: She must have survived. I was talking to her. That's right.
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, Lord.
• 49:08
  Speaker 10: I will go into the music. In the beginning, I
• 49:11
  Speaker 10: kind of liked the music. As the credits are rolling
• 49:14
  Speaker 10: and the hippies run on the beach, there's a whole
• 49:16
  Speaker 10: lot of really loud blaring. To me, it's very like
• 49:19
  Speaker 10: Planet of the Apes. It's like that whole little orchestrated,
• 49:24
  Speaker 10: huge horns just kind of blaring away.
• 49:30
  Speaker 7: And it's kind of fun for a minute.
• 49:33
  Speaker 10: As you go into it, they do work that blaring
• 49:36
  Speaker 10: horn like when they have a dramatic moment of The
• 49:39
  Speaker 10: doctor picking up a rock. I mean, yeah, it works
• 49:44
  Speaker 10: that like it's the most mind bending thing that could
• 49:48
  Speaker 10: ever happen.
• 49:48
  Speaker 18: Oh, my God.
• 49:49
  Speaker 7: Play that music. This is a shocking moment.
• 49:51
  Speaker 10: As he looks at a jar. He puts it in
• 49:53
  Speaker 10: the jar.
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 49:57
  Speaker 10: So, yeah, it's odd where they place those key little
• 50:02
  Speaker 10: musical notes. And then as we get like halfway into
• 50:05
  Speaker 10: the movie, we get this little like drum beat thing.
• 50:09
  Speaker 7: That won't stop.
• 50:10
  Speaker 10: It's like Chinese water torture. It's just, and it just
• 50:15
  Speaker 10: beats this little thing. And in all the parts where
• 50:18
  Speaker 10: they're wandering around in the dark, as you, as you
• 50:20
  Speaker 10: lovingly refer to those scenes.
• 50:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 50:24
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 50:24
  Speaker 10: All this part of them walking around, which granted there's
• 50:26
  Speaker 10: a lot of downtime in this middle. There's a lot
• 50:28
  Speaker 10: of people walking around and looking for a rock or,
• 50:30
  Speaker 10: you know, there's a whole lot of time spent on that.
• 50:33
  Speaker 10: That probably didn't need to be, which is why this
• 50:35
  Speaker 10: movie feels.
• 50:35
  Speaker 7: A lot longer than it is.
• 50:37
  Speaker 10: But, yeah, there's just this one little musical cue that
• 50:41
  Speaker 10: just plays over and over in a loop.
• 50:44
  Speaker 5: It's a loop, yeah.
• 50:45
  Speaker 10: And then the very end, like the last 15 minutes,
• 50:47
  Speaker 10: is another weird one that's sort of annoying, really. I've
• 50:52
  Speaker 10: heard it was sort of ripping off holes, so I
• 50:54
  Speaker 10: don't know. I'm not sure why they put that in
• 50:56
  Speaker 10: there because it's sort of grating as time goes on. Oh,
• 51:00
  Speaker 10: I don't know. What did you want to do on
• 51:02
  Speaker 10: the end of the movie as they're wandering around?
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: You know, I could have dealt with some kind of,
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: this is what I intend to do. I mean, yes,
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: you're trying to figure out what he's going to do
• 51:15
  Speaker 5: with it or how he's trying to deal with it
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: and everything. Can I spoil and tell what he was...
• 51:21
  Speaker 5: He brought some dynamite with him.
• 51:24
  Speaker 10: Once again, it hurts it that you can't see what
• 51:26
  Speaker 10: he's doing because the scene is so dark and at night.
• 51:28
  Speaker 7: Once again, good planning. But yeah, go ahead.
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: But they actually show him these rocks that can incinerate things.
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: He puts them in a bag right next to his
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: TNT and throws it over his shoulder and wanders around
• 51:43
  Speaker 5: the woods for half an hour.
• 51:45
  Speaker 7: They're not so smart.
• 51:46
  Speaker 5: You could say dumb as a rock, but that's a
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: little too on the head. Right, those rocks were actually smart.
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: And then, you know, I guess he's going to try
• 51:57
  Speaker 5: to trap the mom. But it just.
• 52:00
  Speaker 10: trapper or just destroyer.
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: Why did he have to travel so far they were
• 52:05
  Speaker 5: coming after.
• 52:05
  Speaker 10: It was coming after you anyway wherever you were wouldn't.
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: It have come to you and.
• 52:11
  Speaker 10: Then he digs a little hole so he can bury
• 52:13
  Speaker 10: the dynamite right and like you know so then he
• 52:17
  Speaker 10: covers it back up with dirt which is fine right
• 52:19
  Speaker 10: but then he like puts like straw over top of
• 52:21
  Speaker 10: it so it looks like it's normal right except that's
• 52:24
  Speaker 10: the only part of the area that has any straw
• 52:26
  Speaker 10: Everything else is like barren dirt and then some little
• 52:29
  Speaker 10: grassy stuff over around the corner by the rocks.
• 52:32
  Speaker 18: Right.
• 52:32
  Speaker 10: Nothing looks anything like where you just covered that up.
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 52:35
  Speaker 10: So number one, it would be very obvious to somebody
• 52:37
  Speaker 10: on this planet that you just buried something there and
• 52:39
  Speaker 10: tried to cover it up.
• 52:40
  Speaker 7: But number two, it's a fireball from space. Are you
• 52:43
  Speaker 7: tricking it?
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 52:45
  Speaker 10: Why do you need to like.
• 52:47
  Speaker 7: Pull the wool over its eyes. It's not going to know.
• 52:50
  Speaker 5: It doesn't even acknowledge that you exist. It doesn't care
• 52:52
  Speaker 5: about the TNT.
• 52:53
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it's not really going to notice that you casually
• 52:56
  Speaker 10: threw a little straw over top of this wool that
• 52:59
  Speaker 10: you just dug.
• 53:00
  Speaker 7: It's a fireball from space.
• 53:02
  Speaker 5: And he puts the rocks in a nice, neat little circle.
• 53:04
  Speaker 10: And they crawl away.
• 53:05
  Speaker 5: And they crawl away, and he puts them back. And
• 53:07
  Speaker 5: they crawl away, and he puts them back.
• 53:08
  Speaker 10: You'd think if they could burn him, wouldn't they just
• 53:10
  Speaker 10: burn his hand when he picked him back up?
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 53:12
  Speaker 7: If you pissed them off.
• 53:13
  Speaker 10: Because that's what we realize is these rocks and the
• 53:16
  Speaker 10: fireball are like emotional creatures, and you can piss them off,
• 53:20
  Speaker 10: or sometimes they're just in a bad mood, or they
• 53:23
  Speaker 10: go into these weird descriptions about the rocks, and then
• 53:25
  Speaker 10: I guess, again, about the giant entity there that... sometimes
• 53:28
  Speaker 10: it'll just let you slide sometimes it'll just be like
• 53:31
  Speaker 10: i don't feel like killing that bastard right now and
• 53:34
  Speaker 10: then other times you'll just barely you know light your
• 53:37
  Speaker 10: pipe on it and you'll light a match off of
• 53:39
  Speaker 10: it and that semen got burnt yeah which they kept
• 53:43
  Speaker 10: using terms semen he was a semen.
• 53:46
  Speaker 5: And he well we all did but once again we're
• 53:51
  Speaker 5: like six years old He's a demon.
• 53:54
  Speaker 10: So, yeah, there's a longshoreman that gets taken out midway through. And, yeah,
• 53:58
  Speaker 10: that's all he did was he lit a match on
• 54:00
  Speaker 10: that rock. That pissed it off. And then here comes
• 54:03
  Speaker 10: Mama and just torches his ass.
• 54:06
  Speaker 5: Didn't appear until she was ten feet away, even though
• 54:09
  Speaker 5: she was there. I think she was hiding behind a tree.
• 54:11
  Speaker 10: She was hiding behind a tree, yeah. You should have
• 54:13
  Speaker 10: noticed that that tree was on fire because it's hard
• 54:16
  Speaker 10: to hide by the tree when you're a giant fireball.
• 54:18
  Speaker 5: And then they would cut, when she was coming up
• 54:20
  Speaker 5: out of the water, they would cut back and forth
• 54:22
  Speaker 5: the scenes of a volcano. That was smoldering, and I'm like,
• 54:25
  Speaker 5: you're either in the northeast or northern California by your geography.
• 54:31
  Speaker 5: There are no large, smoldering, conical volcanoes anywhere near there.
• 54:38
  Speaker 5: But they're in there.
• 54:39
  Speaker 10: Well, I mean, if we want to call that out,
• 54:40
  Speaker 10: they also just randomly cut the scenes in space in
• 54:43
  Speaker 10: the middle of it. They're like looking up at the sky,
• 54:45
  Speaker 10: and then all of a sudden it cuts the shots
• 54:47
  Speaker 10: from like 10 billion miles away that... A nebula you
• 54:50
  Speaker 10: could never possibly look up in the sky and just see.
• 54:53
  Speaker 10: You know, they've got the biggest, you know, space telescope
• 54:57
  Speaker 10: mounted on a satellite somewhere that got this shot. And
• 55:00
  Speaker 10: suddenly he looks up in the sky and it's like
• 55:02
  Speaker 10: it's parked next to the moon. So, yeah, I mean,
• 55:05
  Speaker 10: they insert a lot of weird scientific little shots. Even
• 55:08
  Speaker 10: in the credits early on, what was some of that stuff?
• 55:11
  Speaker 10: It was just, like, random footage of some sort of
• 55:13
  Speaker 10: scientific something or other.
• 55:15
  Speaker 7: They don't even, like, call out what it is.
• 55:17
  Speaker 10: It's just images of weird blobby things on the screen,
• 55:20
  Speaker 10: and you're like, ooh, science. So it works. That's all
• 55:24
  Speaker 10: you need in a science fiction movie.
• 55:25
  Speaker 5: That's all you need.
• 55:26
  Speaker 10: Science.
• 55:26
  Speaker 5: It was fantastic.
• 55:28
  Speaker 10: Truly amazing. Oh, so is that how we want to
• 55:33
  Speaker 10: go out on a date? Fantastic.
• 55:36
  Speaker 7: Utterly amazing.
• 55:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we blew it up. I mean, what else are
• 55:38
  Speaker 5: you going to do? You can blow up TNT and
• 55:40
  Speaker 5: be 10 feet from it. A ball of flame can
• 55:44
  Speaker 5: blow up, but you're fine. Well, she was fine because
• 55:47
  Speaker 5: he laid on top of her.
• 55:48
  Speaker 16: Right.
• 55:48
  Speaker 5: Laid on top of her.
• 55:49
  Speaker 9: He protected her with his love.
• 55:52
  Speaker 7: With his madness.
• 55:53
  Speaker 5: Squeezed his back.
• 55:55
  Speaker 7: While we're down here, don't you squeeze. so i.
• 56:01
  Speaker 9: Can't even explain it she can't be a masseuse that's for.
• 56:05
  Speaker 10: Sure so yeah then then i mean it does that
• 56:09
  Speaker 10: wrap up in like all of two minutes i mean
• 56:10
  Speaker 10: it's it blows it up then we see random shots
• 56:13
  Speaker 10: of space again and then it zooms back into planet
• 56:16
  Speaker 10: earth i guess and then it's them like well too
• 56:19
  Speaker 10: bad we couldn't learn anything from it instead.
• 56:21
  Speaker 19: We just got to blow it up and then that
• 56:23
  Speaker 19: was pretty much how they wrapped it up and credit
• 56:25
  Speaker 19: have a curse So it's a shame that, you know,
• 56:29
  Speaker 19: we can't have contact with other beings and have communication
• 56:33
  Speaker 19: and have some sort of intelligent interaction.
• 56:35
  Speaker 7: No, we just have to blow them up.
• 56:37
  Speaker 10: So years before ID4 came along, we realized you just
• 56:42
  Speaker 10: have to blow it up to aliens. That's all there
• 56:44
  Speaker 10: is to it.
• 56:44
  Speaker 5: And speaking of ID4, Jeff Goldblum was in it.
• 56:48
  Speaker 7: That's true.
• 56:48
  Speaker 10: We forgot to mention.
• 56:50
  Speaker 7: The lead actor here.
• 56:52
  Speaker 10: Let's see. He's Marvin Howard. who I believe this was
• 56:57
  Speaker 10: his first movie, and I believe this was his last movie.
• 57:02
  Speaker 7: I'm not making that up.
• 57:03
  Speaker 9: He really wasn't that bad in it.
• 57:04
  Speaker 7: I mean, his acting wasn't... He wasn't that good, either.
• 57:07
  Speaker 9: I mean, he wasn't that great, but he wasn't, like,
• 57:09
  Speaker 9: the worst actor ever.
• 57:10
  Speaker 10: Yeah, he has a one credit in 1980 from the
• 57:14
  Speaker 10: TV series Gunmen. And, yeah, other than that, his theatrical
• 57:19
  Speaker 10: run was The Cremators.
• 57:22
  Speaker 7: That was his acting career.
• 57:24
  Speaker 5: Once you start out on top, why do anything else?
• 57:26
  Speaker 7: That's right.
• 57:26
  Speaker 10: I mean, when you're the biggest actor ever in the
• 57:29
  Speaker 10: biggest movie ever, The Cremators, there's nothing but downhill after that.
• 57:33
  Speaker 7: You just wrap it up.
• 57:36
  Speaker 10: Speaking of which, okay, I guess we will wrap up
• 57:39
  Speaker 10: our take on The Cremators. All right, so we will
• 57:43
  Speaker 10: take a break and be back with the rest of
• 57:45
  Speaker 10: the show.
• 57:48
  Speaker 7: And I've got crab in my underpants.

• 58:50

• 58:55
  Speaker 18: front of a moving car on the set of The
• 58:57
  Speaker 18: Getaway because he was macking on my lady, Allie McGraw.

• 1:03:24
  Speaker 7: Okay, kids, get out your decoder pins.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: Dun, dun, dun.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, let's go sing.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 11: Sorry.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 7: Somebody's got to do it.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 11: Sorry.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 10: Somebody make some sort of noise.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 6: I did.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: I said dun, dun, dun.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 9: Did you not hear it? I said it.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 7: I know, but we need more of a fanfare.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: I could tell that tonight's message was really important.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 10: All right, it is time for the movie meltdown secret
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 10: circle reveal of the next two features.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 7: Two features.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 10: Thank you, Roger.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 6: It's like the episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 6: where Frank thinks that Charlie's dead so he just carries
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 6: around this mannequin.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 9: And he has Charlie's lightning.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 11: Unicorn t-shirt on and he talks in a Charlie voice.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 9: You're going to do that with Roger.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 7: Is this any different from Weekend at Bernie's?
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 5: No, Weekend at Bernie's.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 10: One of the finest films ever made.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 9: That was a really good movie.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 9: I really want to watch that again.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 7: But not next week.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 10: Because next week we're rounding out the third part in
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 10: this trilogy of terror. Next week is Wonder Women.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 5: Can I come?
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 10: Please come back and join us. I know nothing about
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 10: Wonder Woman. It's a lot more action than this one,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 10: so you might be okay with it. There's people getting
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 10: kicked in the head and all kinds of fun stuff.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 10: I believe it's on an island. We'll have to find
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 10: out next week. Tune in next week for Wonder Woman.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 10: Go out and find yourself a copy. They're a little
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 10: harder to come by than these others. I'm not telling
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 10: you to do anything, you know, unscrupulous, but yeah, get
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 10: yourself a copy in whatever means you feel is appropriate.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 10: The following week, I believe I've indulged my own sick
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 10: fantasies for the last three weeks and made you guys
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 10: watch these special, special movies, so I thought we would
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 10: return to a somewhat normal movie and one that somebody else.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 5: Actually wanted to watch.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 10: Misty brought over a copy of All the Boys Love
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 10: Mandy Lane, which she mentioned watching a few weeks back
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 10: and has some different thoughts on it that we should
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 10: go into. So I think the following week we will
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 10: watch All the Boys Love Mandy Lane.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 5: Fantastic.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: What?
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 5: Fantastic.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 10: You can come watch that one, too.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 10: Anything else we need to round out this episode?
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 9: Not that I know of.
• 1:05:45
