- 3:09with no expectations. I looked at like the trailer of
- 3:12it and we looked at the like a clip and I was like, oh, this.
- 3:18We're about to get three friends over a weekend making a movie
- 3:22together here. Dude.
- 3:25Nuts, you know, good effects, good effects, practical,
- 3:31practical and little bit, a little bit of puppetry going on.
- 3:36We always love to see that. We always love to see that.
- 3:39Good, but some good blood splashing.
- 3:40Yeah, some good, some good little gore here and there.
- 3:44A lot of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force fire effects I noticed.
- 3:48Oh yeah. So.
- 3:50So during the explosions you hear some TIE Fighter sound
- 3:53effects from Star Wars. It's the words.
- 3:57The words royalty free might come up a lot I think.
- 4:02The words, the words royalty free, live, rent free in these
- 4:09people's minds, which is good. Sorry you had to go on.
- 4:13Go on. What were you saying?
- 4:14Now it's just. It's rain raining free Go as a
- 4:17joke dude that was. It was raining crabs bro so
- 4:23cocaine crabs from outer space is exactly what you think it is.
- 4:26It is crabs that come from outer space and when they get to every
- 4:32found. The crabs You can get crabs for
- 4:35$1.99 on this. That's a.
- 4:40That's a this economy, though. Durch is American fork.
- 4:46I don't, I have no idea what that is, but you can get a, you
- 4:48can get a crab, a killer crab from outer space.
- 4:53A cocaine crab from outer space. That's right.
- 4:57It's a goofy time. It's a it's, it's fun.
- 5:00It's silly. It is what it is.
- 5:03The effect, the effects are what they are, and I'm not going to
- 5:08shit on this film because it was a fun time.
- 5:10We we watched it with a group. Well.
- 5:12We watched it with an entire group and you could everyone
- 5:15laughing and going, OK, that was funny.
- 5:16Or there's a lot of good crab puns in here.
- 5:19They come from the the planet Crabulon.
- 5:21They're flying in little crab spaceships like it's it's, it's
- 5:26silly, it's goofy, it's funny and I had a blast watching it.
- 5:31I think if I watched it by myself, I would have just turned
- 5:33it off. But due to like watching it
- 5:36like. Yeah.
- 5:38With the group, it was like one of those things was like, no,
- 5:42this is good. This is this is funny.
- 5:44I would have I would have been hitting that skip 20 seconds
- 5:47ahead button quite a bit if I was watching this by myself.
- 5:51A. Lot of crab exposition.
- 5:56Yeah, a lot of a lot of big acting going on, yes, especially
- 6:02the the two leads doing a lot of acting, definitely saying their
- 6:06lines clearly into the camera. They're pulling their way, dude.
- 6:10They're pulling their way. They're I didn't carry the film.
- 6:14The, I mean the coke, the cocaine king, I can't lie.
- 6:19He probably, he probably had the best chops, like out of all of
- 6:24them. I can't lie.
- 6:25Yeah, Cocaine King doesn't rule it.
- 6:27He's pretty solid. And I love the cocaine king dude
- 6:33is. That movie, I don't even know
- 6:35how to react to it in all honesty.
- 6:37I don't know what do you even call a movie like this.
- 6:39Schlock. Is this schlock Because I feel
- 6:43like I feel like this is a separate category because
- 6:46schlock is like thinks killing his schlock, you know, fuck,
- 6:51it's so different. I think it's so different.
- 6:53This is like this is like literally they probably edit
- 6:58this in like movie Maker. It's all like royalty free
- 7:02sounds you got like royalty free, like effects.
- 7:09There's like there's no transitions that aren't a hard
- 7:12cut or like a crossfade. Or like the the little fade 1.
- 7:17You're like and like the panning is not smooth it like I I don't
- 7:22even know what you call this. This is like like F tier movies.
- 7:28It's. Literally if Mystery Science
- 7:31Theater could do like watch the film and do what they would.
- 7:36Like this is on like birdemic levels.
- 7:39Yeah, but I had a blast, yeah. And 100% like I was laughing
- 7:47non-stop the entire time. I was fucking laughing.
- 7:50The the one liners are hilarious.
- 7:52The gore effects are funny. You know, there was there was a
- 7:57face RIP scene and then you actually look at the face RIP
- 8:00and it's like that's literally a piece of baloney, OK?
- 8:08I thought some of these are funny.
- 8:10I thought they were. Pretty good.
- 8:11That's the charm of it. I like the tumble crab.
- 8:15Tumble, crab. Yep, Tumble.
- 8:17I thought, I thought that was going to be something completely
- 8:19different. When they started like
- 8:21attaching, I was like oh. We all thought they were
- 8:24forming, and we were. Hoping mega crab, yeah?
- 8:27Mega Crab. Oh, man, I I don't know.
- 8:32I don't know. I.
- 8:33It's I do see it says it took almost two years to produce.
- 8:37This took two years. What were they doing for two
- 8:43years? Who said this?
- 8:47Yeah, the pedia. The Pedia.
- 8:50Wikipedia says this. Yeah, two years.
- 8:53Yeah, and it was in. It's filmed in Salem, OR.
- 8:59Wow, OK. But that's not about it.
- 9:03That's about all the information there is on.
- 9:04This film there's a. Link to buy it?
- 9:09Go buy it. Yeah, go.
- 9:10I mean if you want like a fun. Yeah, it's for 20 bucks.
- 9:14Watch it on screen box first that if you want to support them
- 9:17just go buy it. It'd be a fun movie to have on
- 9:19the shelf. I really would you.
- 9:21Know would. People come over and be like,
- 9:23you got you got out of cocaine, crabs from outer space,
- 9:26Everyone's like. Throw it on there in a party.
- 9:29I mean the crabs were putting on fucking like the Google eye
- 9:33fucking nose mustache thing. Like, there's a lot of good
- 9:37slapstick, like. Sorry, Nick, you're going to
- 9:41have to probably cut that out. What?
- 9:44It was my door closing. I didn't hear it.
- 9:48OK. All right.
- 9:49No one here. Nothing.
- 9:51You see, you guys get to see everyone watching and listening.
- 9:53You guys get to see a little bit closer into how professional we
- 9:57are this. Is why see, we're we are just
- 9:59like we are just like the cocaine crab people.
- 10:01We're leaving that in. We're leaving it in because this
- 10:04is my screen box. Chose us.
- 10:07Thank you. They wanted us and then they're
- 10:11gonna listen to it. They they want to know, they
- 10:14want to know what people are watching on screen box and in
- 10:16this case it's this movie. Folks, we're watching cocaine
- 10:21crabs from outer space I I guess.
- 10:28I guess we are we are at a loss. We don't even know what to say.
- 10:31I. Really.
- 10:33Don't listen. Really.
- 10:34I'll I'll I'll read you. I'll read you my lines.
- 10:38I'll read you my notes. The way the crabs speak and move
- 10:41is crushing me. Crabs communicating with one
- 10:44another is amazing because they just go and it just.
- 10:47Makes them skittery noises. Whatever they're doing blow.
- 10:51It's just like a fucking vacuum. There's a whole scene where
- 10:55they're too and blow Crab spaced crab shaped spaceship son of a
- 11:01Barnacle line fuck me up. Great schlock humor.
- 11:06When the crabs said it'd have to take a big old #2 The sound
- 11:11effects. That's something I wrote down
- 11:13killed me. Every time a crab moves it's
- 11:17just like shuffling noise. Oh man, Planet Crabulon for the
- 11:22might of planet Crabulon. That was a good line.
- 11:26Oh here you go. The crab trip out scene when
- 11:28they finally when they do coke for the first time.
- 11:31Like the psychedelic little thing they do.
- 11:35Oh man, the sex scene. There is a sex scene in this
- 11:38movie. Yeah.
- 11:40And it there's a good gag during that, there's like a Cirque du
- 11:43Soleil like to style scene and that's a good gag.
- 11:48The montages in this. Fantastic.
- 11:51Some great montages. We got we are peak montage in
- 11:54this movie. Yep.
- 11:55So I mean, those are my notes for me.
- 11:58I I thought the movie was a fun time.
- 12:00It's it's silly. It's I'm just, it's cool that
- 12:06these people did this and they had as fun as they had making
- 12:09it. That is what's important, right?
- 12:11Like, is this a good movie? No, but it was.
- 12:17Like this. This proves anyone can go out
- 12:21there and do this. In a good way, because yes, it's
- 12:24not a good movie, but I had a good time watching it, yeah.
- 12:30There's like nothing stopping you from going out and doing
- 12:32that. Exactly so.
- 12:34You could shoot on your iPhone nowadays.
- 12:36This might have been shot on an iPhone.
- 12:39It very well may have been. At the end, I mean, it wasn't.
- 12:44Yeah, it showed a camera. It did.
- 12:46It did. Looking on the camera in the in
- 12:48the credit photos, but. DSLR.
- 12:51They definitely only had one. I would buy an art book from
- 12:55behind the scenes of this like a coffee.
- 12:59I would totally comment I'm an idiot.
- 13:02I mean, I would I would buy an art book, like a coffee table
- 13:07book that is a series of movies like this.
- 13:11I don't know I would that for just one, But if there was like
- 13:13a series of movies that were like this, like art books from
- 13:16like from just like student films and just like buddy films.
- 13:22I'm wondering somebody student, why?
- 13:24Why? Are we giving people ideas?
- 13:27We should get on that. We should get in touch with.
- 13:32Chuck McGee. Yeah, Chuck McGee and see if we
- 13:35get he's down for that. Oh my God, we should.
- 13:40All right, round table time. Noah, I'll start with you this
- 13:43week. I think Alex started last week.
- 13:44So Noah, give everybody your thoughts and then the your
- 13:50let's, let's do, let's do 5 crab pinches this week.
- 13:55OK, I mean, I I enjoyed it for what it is.
- 14:00It's clearly just a bunch of friends.
- 14:02Make it a little movie together. They definitely were taking
- 14:06quite a few swings. I like how they they went for
- 14:09effects and they they tried to do like all the practical stuff.
- 14:12And for the most part it's pretty good.
- 14:16I just had fun. You know, if you have a group of
- 14:18friends around, I think this is a fun watch.
- 14:23I would give it. I'm going to give it 2 crab
- 14:27pinches out of five. It's all right.
- 14:30That's fair, Mr. Alex. How many crab pinches in your
- 14:36little? I don't know.
- 14:38Man, I don't know it's it's definitely worth a watch for
- 14:42sure if but like I'd really don't know if I could get this
- 14:46rating man. It's so it's the memes.
- 14:51It's a meme movie 100% like it's.
- 14:56It's unrateable like. All the way to the end, like the
- 14:59like the leading up, it's a meme.
- 15:01I can't believe the ending of this film.
- 15:05And you're going to, you're going to have to watch it for
- 15:07yourself. Yeah, I'm not saying shit.
- 15:10Special. It's what sells it.
- 15:12It is the cream of the crop. Let's just say it like that.
- 15:18I'm I'm going to, I'm going to go with Noah and say it too. 2
- 15:21some 2 pinties. Two pinties this is.
- 15:23This is hard dude. It's like it's difficult.
- 15:26It's lovable, but. Like it's bad.
- 15:31OK, I had fun watching this. I had a lot of fun watching it
- 15:38with a group of friends. This is one of those movies
- 15:40where you'd like make a drinking game for every time a crab is
- 15:44like thrown onto the screen or every time they like do a crab
- 15:48pun. Like I am like tempted to make a
- 15:51drinking game out of this. We watch Cocaine Crabs from
- 15:53Outer space once a year. It is a it is a genuine fun time
- 15:57again. I'm it's it's nice to see people
- 16:01have that much fun making a movie again.
- 16:07It's a good movie. Not really, but this is a very
- 16:15fun time. The effects were done in such a
- 16:19funny slapstick way that like you can't hate on this like
- 16:23because if. You can try.
- 16:26You could try, but like there's, there's this like charm to it
- 16:30because like they're doing all these things with like to even
- 16:35like pull off some like the things they were doing with the
- 16:37crabs. And yeah, you could see the
- 16:39string the entire time moving the little plastic crabs and.
- 16:42You can see that in Star Wars. I mean, I mean yeah, but you can
- 16:46really see the strings here, but like.
- 16:48Whatever. But like, you know, it's, it's
- 16:54just one of those movies you have to watch once you get the
- 16:57laughs out and you're like, all right, half the guys at the
- 17:02server went. I didn't hate that.
- 17:06Yeah, some of them really didn't like it.
- 17:08So that most majority of people were like, yeah.
- 17:10You know, I mean, they were like, yeah, that's cool.
- 17:13That's fine. Matt.
- 17:15Matt went. Was it as bad as I thought?
- 17:18Matt went. He did.
- 17:20That's how I praise for a movie like this.
- 17:22It is, it is. Oh man. 1 1/2 pinchies. 1 1/2
- 17:28pinchies. So what are we?
- 17:32What are we? What's this?
- 17:34What's this rounding out to? It'd probably be just a 2. 222.
- 17:392A2. All right, so 22 crab pinchies
- 17:43out of five. They're OK Ghost.
- 17:46Go watch this movie. Go support Chuck McGee.
- 17:49This was fun. You know, just watch it one
- 17:53time. I I think it's worth a worth a
- 17:56watch if you're looking for something fun to do with your
- 17:59friends. It's just cool, man.
- 18:01It's fucking cool time. Oh man.
- 18:04Well, it's that time. The episode where we go into
- 18:06Noah's informational corner. I don't have it.
- 18:11We're going to coin the term soon.
- 18:12We'll. We'll make a, we'll get a, we'll
- 18:14think of a name. Yeah, yeah.
- 18:17I mean, information on this is pretty sparse.
- 18:20There's basically nothing online about this movie.
- 18:23So I just looked at the cast a little bit.
- 18:26The the director has another acting credit as a bartender in
- 18:31a movie called A Knife in the Dark, which is very similar to
- 18:35this movie. It is not on screen box like I
- 18:38hoped it would be. However, it is on YouTube and
- 18:42you can watch it for free and I highly recommend you do and skip
- 18:46to 43 minutes where one of the characters stops the movie dead
- 18:50and does like a 45 second guitar solo and it's fucking sweet.
- 18:54So sweet. And I it was, it's clear, like
- 19:02this guy plays guitar and they got him in the movie because he
- 19:05could do a guitar solo. And then shred it.
- 19:08You're going. To do a fat little lick.
- 19:09Yeah, I was just skipping around.
- 19:10And then in the credits it's the guitar solo again, and I love
- 19:16that. But I looked into a couple other
- 19:21people. The first one is Katie O Grody,
- 19:26Katie O'Grady. Sorry, I have the name spelled
- 19:28wrong here. She has another acting credit
- 19:32from Dark Zone 13, OK, 2019, which I also couldn't find
- 19:39anywhere. Alvin Clawson, who plays the
- 19:43yuppie, who I think is that, like business guy?
- 19:45Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- 19:46He's he's definitely one of the older people because he has 2
- 19:50credits as technical director of Tales from Muppet Land, The
- 19:54Muppet Musicians of Bremen and Tales from Muppet Land The Frog
- 19:58Prince from the 70s you. Speaking your language.
- 20:03Yeah. So I don't know, must be one of
- 20:05the older people or alternatively that could be a
- 20:08mistake. It could be somebody completely
- 20:10different. But I, I'm keep, I kept it in
- 20:14there because IMDb had in there and it's puppet related.
- 20:18So we're going to, we're going to leave that in there.
- 20:20We love it. Rick.
- 20:24Rick Snowden who played Steve, you know the old guy, Steve the
- 20:28homeless guy. He has crew credits from a movie
- 20:33called Guns of Honor from 1994 and Trigger Fast also from 1994.
- 20:40He was also in a movie called Lore from 2023, which is like
- 20:44one of these like C tier movies. But his most interesting credit
- 20:49that I found was he had a stunt credit on a movie called Cry Thy
- 20:55Beautiful Country, which is a movie about a South African
- 20:58preacher played by James Earl Jones and also starring Richard
- 21:02Harris. What?
- 21:05Yeah. How do these people just end up
- 21:09everywhere? I have no idea.
- 21:11I don't know if any of that's even true, but this is, you
- 21:15know, these are what this is what IMDb says.
- 21:17So we're going. We're just rolling with.
- 21:20There's no other fucking information about this movie, so
- 21:23this is what we got. And.
- 21:25That's crazy to think that like the guy in this movie, he did.
- 21:31He did this and that man was on set with James Earl Jones and
- 21:35Richard Harris. I I just want you almost wonder
- 21:40like he, he looked like he was comfortable in the film, so he's
- 21:45not doing bad. I just wonder if he was like,
- 21:47yeah, fuck it, I'll do this. This is crazy to me.
- 21:51It's, it's crazy sometimes, like the connections that people
- 21:55might have because who knows? He could have been like, you
- 21:59could have been, you know, you know, it looked like a movie
- 22:01that didn't probably have much stunts.
- 22:03So he could have been just a young guy, you know, back then,
- 22:07I don't remember what year of that movies from, but he could
- 22:09have been just like a young guy doing stunt coordination or
- 22:12being a stunt double. I mean, yeah, I mean, it's the
- 22:17industry is weird like that, isn't it?
- 22:19Yeah. I think it's kind of
- 22:20intertwines, weaves and just does what it does.
- 22:25Like it's fucking crazy. I don't know.
- 22:28Do you have any more crab facts? No, that's it.
- 22:32That's all I got. That's it.
- 22:35Yeah, that's all there is. Guys, we can't find any
- 22:38information on this movie. Alex, did you have any?
- 22:41No, I just had a dumb name for Noah's little tidbits.
- 22:44What? Well, what is it?
- 22:46Noah's no walls. No, no.
- 22:50Maybe. Maybe.
- 22:51Maybe, I don't know. That could be that could be
- 22:54something. Alex's Alex's head's like they
- 22:57fucking hate it. They.
- 23:00Hate it. We should try that out next
- 23:01time. We should try that out next time
- 23:02on the next one. We do.
- 23:04See how. See how we feel.
- 23:06Guys kiss. And next week, guys, we are
- 23:09going to tackle a bit of a more serious film, I'm guessing.
- 23:14Yes. I say we do 2 serious, one
- 23:17silly, 2 serious one silly. Yeah, we can do that for as long
- 23:22as that, for as long as that works.
- 23:25I think it'll work for quite a while as long as Scream Box
- 23:28still wants to do the show after we release this episode.
- 23:31Speaking of that, you guys should go check Scream Box out.
- 23:35Code SB38 gets you Scream Box for a whole year for 38 bucks.

- 23:43Syniverse page, you can enter in for a chance to have lunch with
