  Speaker 1: So this latest episode is an exclusive episode just for
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the members of the meltdown horror club which by the
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: way do you guys know that we have new members.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: We do now granted we had one maybe around the
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: last time we recorded there was a new party but
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: since then in the last two weeks we've had two
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: new people sweet welcome so hi new people if nothing
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: else thank you for joining and for supporting us and
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: another little notice that you yourself if you're sitting there
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: not part of the crew you could join up right
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: now and you could be one of those people and
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: we would be very appreciative of you as well but
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: yeah I thought that was cool And one of them
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: has already given us a movie to put on the list. Well, sweet. So,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: you see, this is one of the benefits. If you
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: join up, you get to give us a movie to
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: add to our constantly rotating, rolling the die, figuring out
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: where we're going next list. And he's picked one, and
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: in my opinion, it's a good movie. Unlike most of
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: the other things I usually throw out in this little promo. So,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: in looking today... Like I said, most of the ones
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: we've been doing since we started this craziness is stuff
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: that I will find out in the real world. Physical media.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I keep looking for it. I keep buying it. I'm
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: out of control at this point. I don't even know
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: where to put it anymore. And I just, it's so
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: damn cheap. They're just giving them away. So I'll usually,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: but the weird thing is when I find one, I'm like,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I'm not even familiar with it. And I'm like, how
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: is this a thing? All I do is talk about movies.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Most of the stuff I've at least heard of. So
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: when I see one, I don't know. I'm like, what
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: the hell is this? That's usually where we land on these.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: So this one, I was going through the ones I've
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: seen recently, and I picked this one because it looks
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: like it's kind of a James Wan knockoff.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Ooh.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Let me just show you the cover here of The Summoning.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: The Summoning.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Which you'll notice the first word is conjure, and then
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: over here it ends in inge. So I think they're
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: playing with the, if you just kind of glance, Conjuring. Hey,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I like the Conjuring.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: I never would have picked up on that.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: See, it's subtle.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Sneaky. Sneaky advertising.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: That's what it's all about.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: They're being much too vague.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Well, and I think that's what a lot of the
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: knockoffs kind of go with. They're like, let's pick a
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: photo that kind of looks like the same poster, or
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: the font will be similar, or the title is kind
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: of similar. So yeah, the tagline is Conjure the Dead,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Evil Will Rise.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: That's the most vague tagline.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: That's how you do it. So then you can apply
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: it towards whatever the hell you want.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: There's another poster for it that clearly is ripping off
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: what lies beneath.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Oh. Which all that is is you turn something upside down.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: But, I mean... I don't know. So I was going
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: by the description here, if you flip it over.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Or was it so as below?
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I think it looks, that poster looks more like that.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: So when were they in Paris?
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: That's where I'm looking for.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: They're in the catacombs.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: But this, the description.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: It's not the worst idea.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: We've ended up on some terrible things.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: So this could be- Three out of 10 on IMDB?
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: This one says- Not bad. A group of people attempting
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: to communicate with the underworld find themselves in the presence
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: of three spirits, a father, mother, and a child.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Huh.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: When's yours from? Is yours from 2017?
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: See, that's the thing. If you look it up on IMDb,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: those are totally different movies. Because I kept looking. One
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: has Eric Roberts in it, and I'm like, this is
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: not an Eric Roberts movie.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: That's what I was curious about, because this summary is
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: completely different.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: And if you look at the names, I feel like...
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: This was not shot in America. So, one by one,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: the group members are possessed by the spirits, revealing horrifying
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: secrets from the past. Trapped and under attack from these
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: violent entities, only one member of the group may hold
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: the key to exercising the spirits out of the mansion
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: for good. Don't you want us to watch that?
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Kind of, I mean.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: I guess.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Maybe? Anyway... The point of all this is you probably
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: know of way better movies than any of those that
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: we rattle off when we do this. So you probably
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: would rather give us a much better movie that we
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: could watch. Otherwise, we'll end up with The Summoning.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Or even if you think you can come up with
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: a movie that's way worse than.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Anything we've watched. Quite possibly. I don't know. Some of them.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: That's what was funny. This last... this weekend I think
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I kept seeing and it's so much of these kind
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: of movies that the lower end of the ones we've
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: watched we just watched streaming I kept seeing physical versions
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: of them and I was like remember that weird Topher Grace.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: Movie yeah I saw a physical version.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Of it I was like DVDs of this like I
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: didn't think they'd shell out that kind of fancy two
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: cents a disc money but There was that one, and
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: there was one of... Oh, the Malignant, or whatever that
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: kids in the house one is.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Malevolent?
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Malevolent. That was my problem, is they all... It was
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: three titles that were all.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: The Topher Grace one was like delirium.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Delirium.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: The Ghost Hunter one was malevolent.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: It's got... What's her face in it? She's super popular now. Yeah,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Florence Pugh. Yeah, Florence Pugh. And that was the best
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: part of that movie. She was good in it, but...
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: It was not a great movie. So again, physical version
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: of that yesterday. I was just like, what the hell? Like,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I don't need these.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: I've already seen this garbage.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that was my takeaway. You can give us
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: a much better movie and then I won't have to
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: go out in the world and buy a physical copy
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: of some weird movie with Topher Grace.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: But you probably will.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I probably will. I might have a copy of Spider-Man
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: 3 laying around. But don't pick that one, for God's sakes.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: That's a horror movie. It kind of is. Even Marvel
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: people think that's a horror movie. So, yeah. If nothing else,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: you know, in the meantime, you can hear us say
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: amazing things like this. We're literally sitting a few feet
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: away from a pumpkin patch.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: It's seasonal.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I think by next week.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: You'll be in the middle.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Of a pumpkin. I mean, I, for a while, I
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: kept making reference that I thought Audrey too lived outside
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the door and was going to come and eat me.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: So I've kept an eye on what's going on out there,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: but it kept spreading, but it wasn't getting bigger in
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: that sense. It just kept spreading wider. So now it's
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: taken over that whole area and the area across the
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: sidewalk and it's, it's sprouted pumpkins now. So we're, yeah,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: we're probably gonna be attacked by pumpkin monsters i don't
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: know i only assume eventually though you don't carve a
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: jack-o'-lantern it just becomes a jack-o'-lantern right that's what i
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: thought it tries to eat.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: You and i'm a dehydrated husk of a person but
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: that works because this movie is about husks of people
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: that's true yeah so i'm on theme.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Knowing you, I expected you to be excited. Sure. I
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: think this is what a lot of my whole thing
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: with the movie as I went on, and we can
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: elaborate on many other things, but my overall thing going
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: in was like.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: It is a young woman in a pink cardigan sweater
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: with a backing band of what appears to be a
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: guy on a guitar and a girl on a theremin,
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: I assume. So I can only imagine that that's fantastic.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: Like, yeah, you already publicly executed her. Why do you
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: care to follow through with what's in her will?
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I know we murdered her and all, but we gotta
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: do this the right way.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: That guy's just a really bad cop. I mean, first
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: of all, he's clearly out of his jurisdiction. And it's
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: important that I use the words it's a normal human
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: family who some strange occurrences happen to them that I
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: don't want to You guys would just be like, what
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: the fuck? So some strange things happen to them, and
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: then it jumps to the next story, which is an
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: anthropomorphic mouse.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Exactly. This giant package shows up with no address, just
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: his name handwritten on it.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: In this post-9-11 people-mailing anthrax world, let's just open this up.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: And then.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: What the hell just happened and how did we get
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: to that moment huh and why aren't we wrapping it
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: up why are we just moving along something had to
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: have happened after that.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: And what we find out is his wife was also
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: a witch and she'd been protecting him the entire time
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: so she has this secret life that he doesn't know
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: about that is like fighting off monsters and keeping the
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: town safe from evil and like he has no idea
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: this is going on It was weird. It's fun.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: It's about scary mannequins and roadside attractions.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Running theme in my life. Yeah.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: And I love a good mannequin movie.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: I do love roadside attractions. I can take or leave
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: mannequin movies.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: It's a fun one.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Mannequin 2 on the move. I mean, that's pretty awesome.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Time travel and mannequins. What more do you want? What
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: about Colin Robinson? I know.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: You've got to figure out what's going on.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you, you're not prepared for what's going on.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: And so you probably don't know the special connection our
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: friend Donnie from this movie has with our town that
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: we're currently sitting in. No, but now I'm excited. It
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: became the new JAG.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Ambient noise ceases. No, you're trying to rhyme those two words?
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: You gotta sing. those for the boys overseas can't have
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: rubber can't have chocolate this place sucks can't even rhyme
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: even the camera work where they go from like one
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: room to the other and it just passes through the
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: wall like james well did and then you've even got
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: like the burning building like the burning windmill yeah I mean,
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: she's clearly so precise at building ventriloquist dummies. Surely you'd
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: think that she could sew a bunch of tongues together.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: The rest of it is effective.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Like, each thing is super effective and creepy and does
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: its own little weird thing. But, like, by the time
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: we get to the.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: Clearly he doesn't have a modern computer. He uses a
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: typewriter from 50 years ago. Just like our corner.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Everything in this town. Every accessory we have in this
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: world is from 50 years ago. That's impressive, man.
