  Hi everybody and welcome to this episode of Appendages, I'm Brian.
• 0:29
  And I'm Rod.
• 0:30
  And this month we're blasting off like a rocket ship.
• 0:49
  And watching movies we love on Pluto TV.
• 0:53
  Yeah, and I think Pluto's listening to us for once.
• 0:56
  It's about damn time.
• 0:58
  Yeah, they're starting to get categories because all mine were within some sort of category.
• 1:03
  It was pretty awesome.
• 1:05
  Mine were too.
• 1:06
  The horror category.
• 1:09
  You want to start us out this month?
• 1:10
  Yeah, I'll start you out.
• 1:11
  And the category name is Thriller and Crime.
• 1:15
  And the movies that I'm picking are ones I have never seen.
• 1:19
  And this one is Jennifer Eight from 1992.
• 1:22
  It stars Andy Garcia and Uma Thurman.
• 1:25
  And it's just a short synopsis.
• 1:26
  A policeman fears a blind woman is a killer's next target.
• 1:31
  Ooh, interesting.
• 1:32
  My movies this month all have to do with either Valentine's Day or love.
• 1:38
  And I'll start out with the obvious from 1981, My Bloody Valentine.
• 1:42
  One of my favorites.
• 1:43
  Well, the legend they say on a Valentine's Day is a curse that'll live on and on.
• 1:52
  And no one will know as the years come and go of the horror from long time ago.
• 2:00
  Set in a small mining town preparing for its Valentine's Day dance,
• 2:05
  the film follows a series of brutal murders committed by a killer in mining gear
• 2:10
  who punishes romantic indulgence with heart-themed executions.
• 2:15
  As long-buried jealousy, betrayal, and trauma resurface among a group of young adults,
• 2:20
  love and desire becomes deadly triggers in this slasher classic.
• 2:24
  Man, that's longer than the movie.
• 2:26
  Yeah, almost.
• 2:28
  I love that movie.
• 2:29
  Oh, me too.
• 2:30
  What's next?
• 2:31
  Action and Westerns.
• 2:32
  And I picked Hang Him High from 1968.
• 2:36
  It starts Clint Eastwood, Inger Stevens, and Ed Begley,
• 2:39
  who is the father of actor Ed Begley Jr.
• 2:43
  And the synopsis on this is,
• 2:44
  when an innocent man barely survives being lynched by a mob of vigilantes
• 2:49
  seeking justice for a rancher who was murdered,
• 2:53
  he returns as a lawman determined to bring the errant vigilantes to justice.
• 2:58
  It's Clint Eastwood.
• 2:59
  I mean, it can't go too wrong.
• 3:01
  Is this part of the Outlaw Josie Wales saga?
• 3:05
  I don't know. I'm not sure.
• 3:07
  Yeah. Hmm.
• 3:08
  My next one, from 1971.
• 3:11
  We're going back another 10 years.
• 3:12
  Let's Scare Jessica to Death.
• 3:14
  After being released from a mental institution,
• 3:17
  Jessica moves to the countryside with her husband in hopes of recovery,
• 3:22
  only to experience mounting paranoia and strange encounters.
• 3:26
  As her marriage strains under the weight of her fragile mental state,
• 3:30
  intimacy, jealousy, and fear blur together,
• 3:34
  leaving both Jessica and the audience unsure of what is real.
• 3:38
  Ooh. I still haven't seen that one.
• 3:40
  I haven't either, and it's been on my radar for a while,
• 3:43
  so I need to check that one out.
• 3:44
  Oh, my next one comes from the comedy category.
• 3:48
  Yay.
• 3:49
  Foul Play from 1978,
• 3:51
  starring Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase.
• 3:53
  In synopsis is, a San Francisco librarian
• 3:57
  picks up a hitchhiker whose car is broken down,
• 3:59
  which leads to her being stalked and hunted by shady individuals.
• 4:04
  A cop she briefly met during a function eventually comes to her rescue.
• 4:08
  I'm gonna guess Chevy's a cop.
• 4:10
  I don't know, maybe he's not.
• 4:12
  Maybe.
• 4:12
  My next film from 2014,
• 4:15
  Life After Beth.
• 4:17
  When a young woman unexpectedly returns from the dead,
• 4:20
  her grieving boyfriend is overjoyed,
• 4:23
  until her resurrection comes with unsettling changes.
• 4:27
  This horror comedy explores a strain of clinging on to a relationship past its natural end,
• 4:32
  using zombies as a metaphor for denial, emotional decay,
• 4:37
  and the difficulty of letting go.
• 4:39
  I know I've seen this one.
• 4:43
  It's kind of crazy.
• 4:44
  It's got, what's her face from Parks and Rec?
• 4:46
  Aubrey Plaza.
• 4:47
  Oh, okay.
• 4:48
  Yeah, it's kind of fun.
• 4:49
  You know what else is kind of fun?
• 4:50
  Kinda.
• 4:52
  Only kinda.
• 4:53
  Our podcast network, the PFPN.

• 5:40
  Now that we've heard from our podcast network, what do you got last, Rod?
• 5:44
  All right, romance, because love is in the air.
• 5:47
  Love is in the air.
• 5:50
  Everywhere I look around.
• 5:54
  Love is in the air.
• 5:58
  Love is in the air.
• 6:00
  Sleepless in Seattle from 1993.
• 6:02
  I've never seen it.
• 6:04
  There is no way that we are going on a plane to meet some woman who could be a crazy, sick lunatic.
• 6:09
  Didn't you see Fatal Attraction?
• 6:11
  You wouldn't let me.
• 6:12
  Well, I saw it, and it scared the shit out of me.
• 6:14
  It scared the shit out of every man in America.
• 6:16
  Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan.
• 6:18
  A recently widowed man's son calls a radio talk show in an attempt to find his father a partner.
• 6:26
  Man, is that why we have kids?
• 6:27
  So they can find us people to have sex with later on in life?
• 6:30
  I mean, maybe.
• 6:31
  It's a lot like You've Got Mail.
• 6:34
  Okay.
• 6:35
  Well, it's Nora Ephron directed this one, too.
• 6:37
  Yeah, yeah.
• 6:38
  Well, and it's the same cast, and yeah.
• 6:40
  My last one from 2020.
• 6:43
  It's called Spell.
• 6:45
  After surviving a plane crash in rural Appalachia, a man is taken in by a mysterious woman who claims to heal him using folk magic.
• 6:56
  As he recovers, it becomes clear that his caretaker's help is rooted in emotional manipulation and coercion,
• 7:03
  turning dependence and trust into instruments of terror.
• 7:07
  Sounds kind of like a misery, but maybe a folklore misery along those lines.
• 7:12
  I did have one extra movie.
• 7:14
  Since it's Valentine's Day, this is a gift for everybody.
• 7:17
  It's like a box of chocolates.
• 7:18
  From 2009, The Loved Ones.
• 7:22
  Am I not pretty enough?
• 7:26
  Is my heart too broken?
• 7:30
  Do I cry too much?
• 7:34
  Am I too outspoken?
• 7:37
  After rejecting a shy classmate's invitation to prom,
• 7:42
  a teenage boy is abducted and subjected to a night of sadistic torture,
• 7:47
  orchestrated as a twisted date.
• 7:50
  It begins as unrequited affection spirals into obsession and control,
• 7:55
  revealing a horrifying portrait of love wrapped in entitlement and cruelty.
• 8:01
  That's right. What Lola wants, Lola gets.
• 8:03
  Is that it?
• 8:04
  Yeah.
• 8:05
  I guess.
• 8:06
  Good thing I don't know nobody named Lola.
• 8:08
  Yeah, that's a good one though.
• 8:10
  Pluto TV this month has some really great movies.
• 8:13
  It does have movies that if you like the Valentine's Day, the love theme,
• 8:18
  there's plenty of movies to pick from.
• 8:19
  There's also all of the Friday the 13th movies that start streaming on Friday the 13th.
• 8:25
  Hell yeah.
• 8:26
  So the day before Valentine's Day, if you're not into love,
• 8:29
  you can just watch all the Friday the 13th movies all month.
• 8:32
  That's what I love to do on Friday the 13th.
• 8:34
  They have free movies and we love to watch them.
• 8:37
  And you should too.
• 8:38
  Check it out.
• 8:40
  What do you think this is all about?
• 8:41
  You think this is a fucking costume?
• 8:43
  This is a way of life.
