00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,000
Sarah, we're in 1987 once again.
3
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,000
Again. We love it here. movie from 1987 that we've covered on the podcast. One more will have enough for an entire season.
4
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Um, I'm guessing there hasn't been another year that compares.
5
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,000
No, I haven't I didn't run that report on my spreadsheet, but um I suspect it's the the the most winner in the history of podcasts.
6
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,000
As we've discussed many times, just banger after banger after banger in that year kind of blows my mind a bit a little bit. Um, but we're here once again to talk about Evil Dead 2.
7
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Hell yeah, we are.
8
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,000
It's It's always I always feel like this was released earlier than 1987 for some reason.
9
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Why is that?
10
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,000
It's for some reason that I'm going to come up with on the fly.
11
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Um,
12
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,000
story.
13
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,000
The the Mandela effect
14
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,000
um
15
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,000
is because of that.
16
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,000
I don't know if you know what the Mandela effect means still
17
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,000
I'm not convinced.
18
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,000
I think the Mandela effect means something different where I'm from.
19
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Right. Okay.
20
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,000
So there you go. So stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
21
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,000
But we're in this timeline.
22
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Okay. Well, so what you're saying
23
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,000
in this timeline, the Evil Dead 2 movie came out in 1987 is what I'm saying.
24
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Oh yeah. Um do you know what we I think it might be because it's the same movie as Evil Dead one. And even
25
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Oh, it's not really.
26
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,000
No, it's not.
27
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,000
Everybody says it is, but it's not really. People call it a remake, and it's not. It's a sequel.
28
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,000
No, it
29
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,000
they revisit elements.
30
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,000
It's It's

a weird one, though, isn't it? It's not really like anything else in terms of that.
31
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,000
It is a sequel. It's called two. It has a two after its title.
32
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,000
It does.
33
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,000
So, I guess by that logic, it definitely is.
34
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,000
But it's the second film in After Death season.
35
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Yeah, your season. How's it going for you?
36
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,000
I'm loving it so far.
37
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,000
So far so good.
38
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Yeah, I had a blast in the first episode.
39
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Talk to me.
40
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Talk to me.
41
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,000
Yeah, I enjoyed that one.
42
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,000
And we haven't recorded the show yet, but we have watched the film, so it's going just as well this week, too.
43
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,000
I agree. Evil Dead 2 is one of my favorite movies.
44
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Is it really?
45
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Yeah, of course.
46
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Is it top 10?
47
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,000
It's not. I wouldn't say it's top 10, but it's like Evil Dead movies. In general, the franchise is really strong. Like I I look at all of them and there's not one I don't like.
48
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,000
I haven't seen Evil Dead Burn yet.
49
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Or are we just referring to the original trilogy?
50
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,000
No, I mean all of them. The the 2013 remake, the Evil Dead Rise. I didn't love it, but I thought it was good.
51
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Evil Dead Rise is a lot of fun, and I appreciated it more on Second Watch. I will say that.
52
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Yeah. And but, you know, I'll watch it again.
53
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Yeah.
54
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,000
And I just I Yes, that kind of sense of humor, that anarctic just nuts, slapstick, stupid humor is
55
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,000
splatstick.
56
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Splatstick,
57
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,000
I believe it's called.
58
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,000
It's just it's per it's it's the sort of thing that I enjoy.
59
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,000
It's a bit of you.
60
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,000
It's a bit of me. It is. And out of them, out of all of the Evil Dead movies, Army of Darkness is my favorite,
61
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,000
but Evil Dead 2 is very close behind.
62
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Evil Dead 2 is Bruce Campbell's favorite. Is it?
63
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,000
Yeah,
64
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,000
I could understand people saying this is their favorite. I get it.
65
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,000
It's mine.
66
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Or any of them really because they're all good. Do you know what I mean?
67
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Yeah. I don't think there is a bad film. Again, we haven't seen Evil Dead Burn, so we can't,
68
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,000
you know, that could go either way. I've heard a few people say that it's a little bit der,
69
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,000
especially in comparison to the others.
70
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Yeah. Which is funny because it's it's got it's a sense of humor movie.
71
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Yeah. But I would say
72
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,000
by its nature,
73
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,000
since 2013, they've definit Definitely been nastier.
74
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,000
Oh, that's true. 2013 one was quite mean as well, wasn't it?
75
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Yeah, that was pretty brutal in places. Yes.
76
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Was that Fetty Alvarez?
77
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,000
It was. Yeah.
78
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Fetty.
79
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Great movie.
80
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Good movie.
81
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,000
But very different tonally.
82
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Yeah. Yeah. Very different tonally. But these these first, not the first three. The first one's obviously more of a serious take on this cabin in the woods thing.
83
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Mh.
84
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,000
And then two and three are just completely bash insane. And I love it. And that's
85
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,000
to the wall. Why they're my favorite. Yeah. Yeah. But so in terms of the theme then, why Evil Dead 2 or why Evil Dead 2 over another Evil Dead movie or
86
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,000
because it's my favorite?
87
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Because it's your favorite?
88
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Yeah.
89
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Okay. And you just wanted to get that to that first?
90
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Yes, I think so.
91
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Was there also a bit of you that knew that one day I'd put Army of Darkness on or was you just not tempted by that?
92
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,000
I didn't even think about that.
93
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Oh, f*** you then.
94
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,000
You didn't enter into the calculations. Thanks. Way to lift my confidence while we're recording.
95
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Um, no, that but genuinely that didn't really influence my opinion. Didn't influence my my decision at all.
96
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Um, the first one is a really good movie and obviously without it we wouldn't have any of the Evil Dead movies, but it's not my favorite. It's not I think it's good. I think it's great in fact, but I don't love it if that makes sense. I just think we've already talked about Evil Dead 2 not being a remake, but they did refine a lot of the stuff
97
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,000
that they kind of attempted in the first one.
98
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Yeah.
99
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Although there's probably more to
talk about in terms of Evil Dead one and just how troubled of a production that was.
100
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Whereas the um
101
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,000
this one went really well, did it?
102
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Um it went better. It went better.
103
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Yeah.
104
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,000
And a large part of it seems was um I don't I never know how to pronounce his name. Dino Delorentes.
105
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Dorentences. Yeah,
106
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Dorentes. Yeah. Who we've talked about on the podcast before.
107
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Yeah. He comes up. Yeah.
108
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Um but between him and Stephen King, they are why this film exists.
109
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,000
I heard about King's quote was on the cover for Evil Dead 1 and that really brought a lot of attention to it.
110
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,000
It's King doing it for the horror fans once again.
111
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Yeah. Yeah. Likes to keep his hand in, doesn't he?
112
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Yeah, he does.
113
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Whether it's welcome or not.
114
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Has he done anything else or is it just like reviewing movies?
115
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Stephen King.
116
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Yeah.
117
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,000
Um, no. He's just a Twitter critic.
118
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Is he? Yeah.
119
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,000
Oh, fair enough. We may all go far though.
120
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Yeah, sure.
121
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Well, his writing style is not too bad. Like maybe you should try his hand at being an author sometime.
122
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Write some short stories. Start there. See how it goes.
123
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Yeah. Do a master class.
124
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Never take cocaine.
125
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Don't ever
126
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Or maybe take a bit of cocaine.
127
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Don't Don't take any cocaine. Sarah, cuz it's illegal and we wouldn't want to encourage that.
128
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,000
But if you did take cocaine, don't forget that you wrote a book ever called Kujo.
129
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Yeah. I think he'd be a better author than he would um a movie director.
130
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Maximum Overdrive. I'm looking at you.
131
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Oh yeah,
132
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,000
the cocaine was on full display in that piece of s***.
133
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Yeah.
134
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,000
But overall, we can agree Stephen King net positive.
135
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Yeah. Um and in this case, basically He he loved Evil Dead so much that he he chatted to Dino Dillerentis who was producing Maximum Overdrive at the time and said, "Oh, this guy Sam Ramy
is trying to get this film made, but he's struggling to get financing. Dino Derentes created a whole new production company called Roseboard, I believe." Because I think there was something in his contract that meant he couldn't release unrated movies through his existing production company. So, they created a whole new company just to put out Evil Dead. two.
136
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Yeah.
137
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,000
And I think he managed to secure like 3.6 million for the budget,
138
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,000
right?
139
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,000
They wanted four, but they couldn't get four.
140
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Yeah.
141
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,000
So, they had to tighten their belts a little bit and produce it on a measly 3.6 million.
142
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Okay.
143
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,000
But yeah, without Stephen King brokering that relationship, we wouldn't have Evil Dead 2.
144
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Yeah. Yeah. So, we've got him to thank.
145
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Well, and you know, Sam Ramy did some things as well.
146
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Yeah. He did all right. Right. Did all right. Yeah,
147
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,000
he did all right. Yeah, he uh This is our first Sam Ramy movie, I think. Isn't it?
148
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,000
I think it is. I think so. Yeah.
149
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Yeah.
150
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,000
I like Sam Ramy.
151
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,000
I I like his movies.
152
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,000
I don't know anything about him as a person.
153
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,000
That's I like most of his movies.
154
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Yeah.
155
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,000
I haven't seen the um the Wizard of Oz one, which nobody likes.
156
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,000
See,
157
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,000
has it got the Franco factor in it?
158
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Yes. His output is child to me. Like Sam Ramy has a really curious backlog of movies cuz what have we got? We've got The Evil Deads.
159
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Yeah,
160
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,000
we've got Crimewave.
161
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,000
We've got Crime Wave. Oh, I always forget about that.
162
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Terrible.
163
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Oh, it's one of the worst films I've ever seen. I always I'm trying to sell it on eBay currently.
164
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,000
Nobody's biting.
165
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,000
But almost incomprehensibly bad.
166
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Yeah, but studio interference like I don't it It feels like a fault of any person that's creative. Or maybe it is. Who knows? But there was a lot of f****** that went on that film.
167
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Too many cooks. Too many cooks. Um, yeah. So, what else have we got? Obviously Spider-Man.
168
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,000
He's got Yeah, the three Spider-Man's, Quick and the Dead, which I really like.
169
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Yeah, you do like that, don't you?
170
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,000
I really like that film. I
171
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,000
made me watch that.
172
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,000
I was already I'd already seen it back in the day.
173
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Yeah.
174
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Um, but I always forget that that's him. This is what I mean. Like, it's so It's so out there. There are some really like left field movies.
175
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Yeah,
176
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,000
we've got Drag Me to Hell, which feels way more Remy.
177
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Drag Me to Hell was good. Yeah, I enjoyed that.
178
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,000
I love that movie.
179
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,000
Yeah.
180
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Um Oh, what did I just think? Oh, Dark Man.
181
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Dark Man.
182
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Yeah,
183
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,000
he did a Doctor Strange.
184
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,000
He did a Doctor I was just about to come to the superhero stuff because he was a big big fan of Spider-Man and I think I heard uh Campbell say on a podcast somewhere that he sort of uh vouched for Remy to to people like, "Yeah, he loves Spider-Man and uh he'll do a good job." And most people would agree that he did. People love Spider-Man 2. People go mad for Spider-Man 2.
185
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,000
I don't really have a whole lot of love for th those three Spider-Man movies, but I think more than anything, that's my hatred of Toby Maguire talking.
186
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Hatred.
187
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000
I hate him.
188
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,000
He wasn't wasn't a p**** p****.
189
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,000
I find him detestable and he's okay. acting.
190
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Do you prefer Lucas Har or Toby Maguire?
191
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,000
O
192
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,000
I was going to say Toby H, but that's someone else.
193
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Probably Lucas Har because he was in Whitney.
194
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Yeah,
195
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,000
which gets mentioned quite a lot on this podcast for some reason.
196
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,000
And he drank milk in Brick.
197
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,000
I do like Brick
198
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,000
and he had big shoes.
199
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,000
So Sam Ramy. Yeah. I mean, I think we can all agree that he's uh is he a is one of the greats. Would you say would you say that he's one of the greats? Cuz I would
200
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,000
I don't know because he's got some real standouts in his catalog, but I feel like his output is so diverse and part of me just kind of like part of me admires that and the other part of me is just like, will you just pick a lane?
201
00:03:20,000 -->
00:03:21,000
Just pick a thing and stick to it, Sam.
202
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Yeah. Um, and I I think some projects are way more successful than others in my eyes.
203
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,000
I sort of find with Remy is that I do enjoy his more be movie stuff. Like the Spider-Man one and two, I like them, but they're not my favorite. And um, you know, I didn't see Oz, but again, people say that it's not good. So, it's almost like for me anyway, The Evil Dead, The Dark Mans, the Beovie kind of lowbudget kind of stuff. is is is where I find he's strongest for me. I don't know what the budget was on Drag Me to Hell, but that felt like a return to form in some way.
204
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,000
I could not agree more and I've kind of been struggling with this a little bit. Um I've been trying to reconcile whether me favoring those projects is because he's just better at those, like maybe he should sort of stick in the horror genre, or if I just prefer them because I drawn to horror.
205
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,000
I can't figure out which it is.
206
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,000
I I don't Yeah, I'm not sure either. It It feels more interesting somehow. Like I guess a good example would be Doctor Strange which you mentioned. Was really looking forward to that. I I really like the first Doctor Strange movie and when they announced Sam Ramy, oh my lord, what? Yeah. Great. And and particularly after the whole Scott Derekson thing when
207
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Yeah. Well, I I got super excited because obviously when Scott Derekson was attached, it was very much like they're making a Doctor Strange movie that's also horror.
208
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Yes, that was very excited.
209
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Yeah, it was. You're quite right. And I think when
210
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,000
I think the compromise was look, we'll get a Doctor Strange one out and then we'll go horror on the second one. But I believe that didn't come to fruition, which is why Derekson left.
211
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Yeah.
212
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,000
And bought on Remy.
213
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,000
So when that that was all going on, Derekson left and I was thinking to myself, "Oh, I hope it's still going to be a horror." And then they announced Remy. I was like, "Yes." But it wasn't though. It was it was I mean, you still expected to be a Marvel film, but it was nowhere near horror. It was It had a couple of
214
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,000
It drew from the genre a little bit.
215
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,000
It visually in some frames. Yeah. You could I mean there was you could see a zombie. The film's been for a while now. You saw a zombie and Sam Ramy did his camera trick.
216
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Yeah.
217
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,000
And that was lovely to see, but it was just a bit
218
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,000
and I don't I guess it's maybe the restrictions that might be placed
upon someone like Remy if he's uh got a huge budget. I mean, I don't know. Maybe he's a shot caller that those Spider-Man movies made all of the money, so it's possible that he can just do whatever he wants.
219
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,000
True.
220
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Which could also be a bad thing.
221
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Yeah. Yeah. I think I'm going to sort of come back to something that I say a lot on this show, and that's that I think filmmakers are always at their best when they have to tighten their belts. When and they have to penny pinch. I've said it before, necessity is the mother of invention. Look at people like Peter Jackson. I know the Lord of the Rings movies are beloved. I get it. I'm in the minority. Just a bunch of people with hairy feet walking. They just walk everywhere. Nine hours of it.
222
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Yeah. No, I'm with you. You know that.
223
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,000
I'm a brain dead girl. I'm a bad taste girl.
224
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,000
I I think there there are so many other examples that I could choose from, but Peter Jackson's always the one that comes up first.
225
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Yeah, he's he's probably in terms of other directors probably closest to Romy, right?
226
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,000
That's kind of what I was thinking. Yeah. Like they've they've been given these stratospheric like enormous projects with huge budgets and very few of the people that that sort of start off in the genre pictures reach that yeah that level.
227
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Um so I felt like a a decent comparison but I I don't know. I just think They're they're just they're most inventive when they have to be. And I think this is a really bloody good example.
228
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Yeah, I agree. I agree. I So 3.6 million was the budget. I think it's all on screen for
229
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,000
I do too, isn't it?
230
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Yeah. Um and and some stuff that wasn't on screen because they did have to make cuts.
231
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Is that why did they have to make cuts?
232
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Um because it was too disturbing.
233
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,000
Really? Yeah.
234
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,000
I want to see that. Well, they wanted to avoid an X rating, but in doing so, they secured even making some cuts. They were encouraged to make even more cuts, but it would have made the film about an hour long, which was deemed ridiculous. Um, and so they made kind of nominal cuts. They changed some scenes where it sort of shifted the focus from the carnage on screen to Ash's disturbed reactions, which was actually to their detriment because it was sort of decided that actually that made it even more disturbing,
235
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,000
right?
236
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Um, and so they ended up having to put it out unrated, which is back in the day was kind of
like the death nail for a movie.
237
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Yeah. Cuz there's there's that whole release thing as well, isn't there? With the the first movie and it getting banned over here.
238
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Yes. Yeah. It was banned for a long time in a lot of countries.
239
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Yeah.
240
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,000
One of the OG video nasties.
241
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,000
It was one of the original Evil Dead was one of those like um Oh, I wonder if I'll ever get to see that movie. That sounds interesting. And I think I I believe I actually saw Army of Darkness first, but without knowing that it was an Evil Dead movie.
242
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,000
And I think um I got the VHS copies of Evil Dead one and two, I think, when they were
243
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,000
unbanned
244
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,000
or when one was unbanned or whatever. At some point, I got the VHS's and
245
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,000
debanned.
246
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Yeah. And I must have watched Evil Dead 2 and then it ends with Ash going to medieval. I'm like,
247
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,000
what the f***? More more.
248
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Yeah. And then um I was like, "Oh my god, Army of Darkness is a sequel to Evil Dead 2." And I I had no idea.
249
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,000
Oh, right. Okay.
250
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,000
So, I saw that first and then I probably watched one then two.
251
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Yeah.
252
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Um
253
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,000
I didn't see either of them until I was
254
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,000
maybe like 19, 20.
255
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,000
What the Which did you start with one, go on to two?
256
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Yes, I did start with one. I in fact I Oh, no wait no I probably saw the second one first and then I backwards because I think by that point the second one was more accessible.
257
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Yeah.
258
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,000
And then I remember going to I can't remember what it was called. It became FOP, but there was a
259
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,000
I know what you mean.
260
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,000
A DVD and music store in my hometown and I used to just rinse it every weekend.
261
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,000
And they u when I was in college, there were two box sets that came out called Box of the Band one and two
262
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,000
and the original Evil Dead was in the first one of those, I believe.
263
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Yeah.
264
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Alongside like Evil Speak and a bunch, you know. bunch of original video nasty stuff and that is where my fascination with that kind of thing started.
265
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,000
Yeah.
266
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,000
So yeah, I probably came to that when I was maybe about 19.
267
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Okay.
268
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,000
So a little bit later than a lot of people.
269
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,000
Yeah, I suppose. So I mean I I must have seen Army of Darkness when it was I believe it was on Sky Movies. So I want to say 93 94. So I was nine or 10 when I saw that. But it's it's a very it's it's not
270
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,000
it's not a horror movie in the sense that Evil Dead one and two are.
271
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,000
It's pretty silly slapsticky more of a rom more of a Ray Harry Howand let's fight some skele skeletons type situation and it's great and I love it for that.
272
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,000
Well, they touched on some of that stuff in Evil Dead 2.
273
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Yeah,
274
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,000
the stop motion's fantastic.
275
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Yeah, we'll definitely talk about the stop motion and the effects and stuff cuz that's I mean there's not much really to dig through in terms of themes. So, it's it's just a good old fun time, isn't it?
276
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Yeah.
277
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,000
Um but I want to just pick up on um on Evil Dead 1 again quickly before we move on.
278
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Okay.
279
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,000
So, there's obviously that controversial scene in that which I I guess is the main reason it was banned.
280
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Are we talking about the tree rate?
281
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,000
The tree rate.
282
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,000
Yeah.
283
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Let's just state outright.
284
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Okay.
285
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Um yes, that would have been the primary reason that it was banned.
286
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Yeah. Okay.
287
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,000
I am not a fan of that. Um it sounds a little bit like Sam Ramy and Bruce Campbell are also not fans of that. I know Sam Ramy's kind of gone on record to say that he regrets it and it was a bit of a folly of youth and Bruce Campbell said he was against it from the start. Um, which good for you. I just I don't So my hot take as a feminist killjoy that everybody hates is I don't think men should ever write rape scenes unless it's a male rape scene. Um, which is probably a little bit controversial because Obviously, I'm not saying that writers can't write things they haven't experienced, but I think it's such a delicate issue that if you're not really constantly under threat of that potentially happening to you, not by a tree, because that's not real.
288
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Yeah.
289
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,000
But I I don't necessarily think you should have a place in the in that particular conversation.
290
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,000
Yeah.
291
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,000
Especially when it's just done for shock value. It's not It wasn't to say anything about it. It was It was kind of it was in pretty poor taste, let's be
honest.
292
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,000
No, I agree. I couldn't agree more. The thing is you can you can suggest as well like right. But if you're going to be blatantly obvious about that and it is very controversial and they were teenagers or Sam Ramy it sounds like it was 19 or something I think 20 proper like I've done stupid s***.
293
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Oh, I was I was a major edge lord back then. I might have done the same thing.
294
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,000
Exactly. It was it was like look we're making a horror film. We've got to make this as controversial as possible. But that being said,
295
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,000
what's the gnarliest, weirdest thing you can conjure up?
296
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Exactly. Yeah.
297
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,000
It's it's only with the
298
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,000
the privilege of age and hindsight that I can now sort of say, "Well, maybe that wasn't the best."
299
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,000
Yeah. Yeah. And it's it's it's sort of this film is like a feels sort of like a correction of the first movie in in many ways. Not that the first movie is bad. I I I like it fine. Never rewatch it because I'm just like, "Well, I'm going to watch Evil Dead. Why would I bother when this one exists?
300
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Kind of kind of what you mean. Evil Dead 2 has got all of the stuff that I love. Like even
301
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,000
Bruce Campbell in the first movie, he's not Ash Williams yet. He's just a bit of a doofus who's, you know,
302
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Yeah.
303
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,000
You know, he's there's not much to him if I remember rightly. And it has been a long time since I've seen it.
304
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,000
But I just feel like this one takes the concept and everything about the first movie and just absolutely completely improves all of it.
305
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,000
Yeah.
306
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,000
And sort of to the detriment of that first movie. I guess in a way, but I always thought it was weird that this just opens with just a 15 10 minute remake of the first movie. I always found that interesting.
307
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,000
Yeah. I mean, it doesn't it doesn't. But I'll be honest, that's one thing that I don't really like about this franchise. And we we talked about it a bit in the Child's Play show. I really admire Don Mancini for the fact that he never reccons anything. Even if it's a bad decision, even if it's ludicrous, He's like, "Well, I've written it. It stays now."
308
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,000
That's what it is.
309
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Yeah. And they build around it, even if it's stupid. And I really admire that.
310
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Yeah. I bet you do.
311
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,000
He's found a way to make it work. And and that brings a level of consistency throughout the franchise that I haven't really seen elsewhere.
312
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Whereas in this, I feel like the whole franchise is just wildly inconsistent. And also, Sam Ramy's recconed a bunch of his own stuff cuz I mean, the first Evil Dead sort of ends on the suggestion that Ash dies, right?
313
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Yeah. I mean, you would if you just watch that movie and Evil Dead 2 onwards didn't ever exist, the whole character arc for that or what would have happened to that character as far as we know is he's dead.
314
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Yeah. Yeah.
315
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,000
So, yeah, but it was a it was initially it was a rights thing, right? I heard
316
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,000
because they didn't have the rights to the original movie and they wanted to sort of recap to reshoot it.
317
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,000
They hadn't sold the rights to like the characters. as such
318
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,000
some Yeah, there was like some small print something they were able to work around.
319
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Yeah, definitely. But but so they had to reshoot um some of that. And I wonder if it's just because they were like, "Well, we don't need to get everyone back and do exactly the same thing." I don't know. It's a weird one.
320
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,000
It's a fun thing to think about though cuz it is a strange and I can't really think of anything else like it. No.
321
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Where there's a movie then they've remade the first movie large Agree. Kind of. Yeah. Like it's a reimagining of the first movie.
322
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Kind of, but not really. Yeah.
323
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Yeah.
324
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,000
It's um It's strange. And also, wasn't Linda recast?
325
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,000
It's a different actress.
326
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,000
I'm not sure, actually.
327
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Yeah, I believe so.
328
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Okay.
329
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,000
Um but yeah, it is odd. Well, we get that sort of recap of of what happened in the first movie and what the Necronomicon is and you know, some of the lore and then it's it's like if ever there was an example of a film just not f****** around. It's Evil Dead 2
330
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,000
because my god, we get straight into it.
331
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Yeah, not f****** around the movie is a perfect title for it.
332
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Like there's just not a frame is wasted, I think. And it's a short film. Like what under sub 90 minutes, I think.
333
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Yeah, it's like 85 or something.
334
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,000
And my god does it utilize every every second
335
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,000
that we see.
336
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Um but yeah. There's just no laboring um character introductions. There's there's just it's just straight into it.
337
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,000
Yeah.
338
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Immediate chaos.
339
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Yeah.
340
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,000
And I love that.
341
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,000
Yeah. Straight away you're you're it's it's the recap of the first movie and then it comes it reaches the final shot of the first movie and then from that point on it's kind of like well this is what happened afterwards, right?
342
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Yeah.
343
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,000
So it's really weird but but straight away from that point Bruce Campbell's being just flung around everywhere, chucked in puddles and
344
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,000
being spun through the air.
345
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Yeah.
346
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,000
In a forest.
347
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Yeah. It's really fun.
348
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,000
Yeah.
349
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,000
And I had so much fun doing the research just hearing Bruce Campbell talk on Pocket. Less so Sam Ramy because there's just less stuff of his out there, I think. But Bruce Campbell is
350
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Yeah. He's just he's so much fun to listen to. I Whenever there's an interview, I'll listen to it. Whatever it whoever it is with He just seems like a good dude as well. Yeah,
351
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,000
I like him.
352
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Lot of fun.
353
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Very likable man.
354
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Yeah, but it's it's it's it's so much fun for me to think about just oh just being on that set and god it sounds like it would have been absolutely awful, but also how much fun must they have had to just like well what do you fancy? Why don't we just get a crane and strap you to it and spin you around?
355
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Like that sounds like heaven to me.
356
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,000
I know what you mean.
357
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,000
You can't do that s*** anymore. No.
358
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,000
And it's probably good a good It's definitely a good thing. Don't get me wrong.
359
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,000
It would all be computerized VFX now, which is such a shame.
360
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,000
It It would be. Yeah.
361
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,000
I think we should endanger actors way more.
362
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,000
I I Yeah, I agree 100%.
363
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,000
Just for this shot.
364
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Yeah. What's more important than art?
365
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,000
I know you say it sounds like it must have been hell on that set, but at least they're still dining out on anecdotes. Yeah.
366
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,000
40 years down the line. Yeah, Campbell's got a couple of books out of it, isn't it? If Chins Could Talk.
367
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,000
I thought it's If Chins Could Kill.
368
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,000
If Chins Could. Is it?
369
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,000
I think so.
370
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Okay, that would make more sense.
371
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Good book. Very entertaining.
372
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,000
I think I've listened to the audio book.
373
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,000
And it's um How to Make Love the Bruce Campbell way. I know that one.
374
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Um Yeah. Yeah. Fascinating friendship. And I'm so glad that their friendship seems to have endured all these years as well.
375
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,000
Yeah. Just mates from school as well.
376
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Yeah. It's It's crazy, isn't it? How you'd have a friend from school and you get enter this career together and somewhat part ways to a degree to a degree.
377
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Yeah. You went off Burn Notice for a little bit.
378
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Yeah. Burn Zena Warrior Prince princess.
379
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Yeah. I think Bruce Campbell was in some of that show and Sam Ramy was like a producer. Okay.
380
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,000
New Zealand that was shot in New Zealand. So
381
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,000
another Peter Jackson reference because he's from New Zealand.
382
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,000
He is. Yeah. Thank you for tying that together.
383
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,000
New Zeal New Zealand. New Zeal. Yeah.
384
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,000
I think that's only if you're half Kiwi.
385
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Is it
386
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,000
New Zeal?
387
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Yeah.
388
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Yeah.
389
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,000
And then once you get over 60, you're old Zealish.
390
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Yeah.
391
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Yeah. Pensioners are old Zealish.
392
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,000
Yeah. That's right. Yeah. You're learning everything here today, folks.
393
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,000
I love Bruce Campbell. I really I love him. Like
394
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,000
that's it. That's the show.
395
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,000
That's the show.
396
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Just you goshing over Bruce Campbell for the remainder. Who doesn't love Bruce Campbell? Like, and it's funny, isn't it? Because it's really like I I guess it's maybe he's one of those that's done quite a few different things. So, probably every person you meet is going to be I love Bruce Campbell. Burn Notice is one of my favorite shows. I love Bruce Campbell. I really love that movie Bubba Hotep.
397
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Yeah.
398
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,000
I love And but and I suppose you got people like me and you that that probably enjoy most of his movies, you know,
399
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,000
but he's Ash Williams.
400
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,000
But he's Ash Williams. That's his
401
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,000
that's his major role and he's played it to perfection in those three movies and in Ash versus
402
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,000
and the show. Yeah. And um there was that other film that I wanted to love but didn't called My Name is Bruce
403
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,000
where he was playing himself
404
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,000
um amongst fictional characters that mistook him for Ash
405
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,000
from Evil Dead.
406
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Right.
407
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Like on paper it sounds so great but I didn't love it.
408
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,000
I don't think I've seen that.
409
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Seriously. Hey, cuz I pulled out Bubba Hotep off your DVD shelf the other day as well, and I don't think I've seen that either.
410
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,000
I think you would probably enjoy that. I'm just checking the shelves now. I thought I owned My Name is Bruce. Maybe I don't.
411
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,000
My name is Bruce.
412
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Bruce. Um, it's a little
413
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,000
I think I've seen
414
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,000
throwback to our dog tooth show.
415
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,000
Go listen to the dog tooth show. A great movie pairing the double bill. Dog tooth and evil.
416
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,000
I do, you know what I would pair this with actually to thinking about we'll talk about who we in a sec.
417
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,000
A nice rezling.
418
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Hey,
419
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,000
a nice rezling.
420
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,000
What's that?
421
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Never mind.
422
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,000
Okay. I was thinking about films that we've covered that I would pair this with. And I think the answer is Don't Breathe because Fedy Alvarez, and I didn't even make that connection there, but Fedy Alvarez feels like he's seen every Sam movie ever Sam Ramy movie ever made.
423
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Yeah.
424
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,000
On that like kind of um visceral slimy sort of way. Does it have to be a film that we've covered?
425
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Yeah.
426
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,000
That I would pair it with.
427
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Yeah.
428
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,000
I don't know. I might be tempted to do a 1987 double bill and pair it with Near Dark because they're both so much fun.
429
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Yeah, I'll take that.
430
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,000
Yeah, that's my answer.
431
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,000
Fair enough. Vampires and
432
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,000
deadites.
433
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Deadites. They're called deadites. What are deades?
434
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,000
Um,
435
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,000
is it a demon? One demon that's infecting multiple people.
436
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,000
It seems to be, doesn't it? I think so.
437
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,000
It's a It's a Kandarian demon.
438
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,000
I guess it depends when you ask Sam Ray.
439
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Yeah.
440
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,000
And which film you're talking about specifically.
441
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,000
Oh, but I suppose let's talk about Evil Dead 2 specifically because um because yeah, you've got a few cuz and I'm like, are they zombies? Is it a ghost? Is it a demon? And then I guess the answer to that question is yes,
442
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,000
cuz we have all of them.
443
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Yeah.
444
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,000
And There's no like usually it would really bother me if there were no rules and you just disregarded the rules and you did whatever you wanted. That would I'd find that kind of annoying but I think it because this is just so stupid.
445
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,000
I just don't care. Yeah. And I just I'm just want to be entertained by it. I just want to have that smile on my face that I have when
446
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Bruce Campbell smashing himself in the face with plays.
447
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Glorious.
448
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Can we just talk about his performance a little bit because
449
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,000
this this performance, I think, is what cemented him as an icon.
450
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,000
It is next level. He really goes there. And I I can't think of another performance like it.
451
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,000
Yeah.
452
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,000
I hesitate to say unmatched because obviously there've been some really ballsy performances since, but just the physicality of it, the the lengths that he was willing to go to,
453
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,000
the the fact that most almost all of the stunts were him. like he really gave it everything. I I don't know. That's so admirable.
454
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Yeah, I know.
455
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,000
Maybe maybe a bit insane.
456
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,000
It's crazy. Like the the commitment was just it's so impressive.
457
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Yeah.
458
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,000
And I really admire that.
459
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,000
He's just throwing himself around.
460
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,000
Yeah.
461
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,000
Or being thrown around.
462
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,000
But also I I also find like Ash is particularly in the third movie, he's not, you know, he's a bit of a d*******. He's a d*******.
463
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Yeah. And it's kind of hard to get that right. I think
464
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,000
you can sort of see him becoming a d******* in Evil Dead 2.
465
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,000
Yeah, you're right.
466
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Because he starts off being like, "Oh, Linda, my love."
467
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,000
Yeah.
468
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,000
Um but then he sort of starts to buy into his own b******* by the end of the movie. He's like,
"I am a hero." Yeah.
469
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Breaking Bruce.
470
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Yeah.
471
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Yeah.
472
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,000
He sort of Which is weird to kind of say that a film that's only 80 odd minutes long has that sort of character arc, but I think it does.
473
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Yeah. You're right. It does. And did you know the character and I don't think these performances are exactly the same. That's not what I'm saying. But
474
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,000
in terms of the Ash Williams character, I was thinking about Jack Burton because there's a similar
475
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,000
87
476
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,000
86 86
477
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,000
close. Um there's a similar for me anyway quality of these people are not really very good at anything. and somehow
478
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,000
their way into becoming the hero.
479
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,000
Yeah. And I think there's there's an incompetent quality to both of them that I find quite similar,
480
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,000
but also I really like both of them. Like not that I would think Ash is a decent human being,
481
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,000
but I really find that character fun.
482
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Weirdly endearing.
483
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Yeah.
484
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Bizarrely endearing.
485
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,000
And I don't know how you do that because if you just just looking at the dialogue like
486
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,000
he looks at the camera and says groovy and and that is the cheesiest thing in the world. Don't get me wrong. But it f****** works. It gives me like flutters.
487
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,000
But the thing that makes it work for me is the way that Bruce Campbell moves his moves his eyebrows up and down. And like Yeah, that I get it
488
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,000
cuz he just wants it to be fun. He's so invested.
489
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,000
I don't think this I think Sam Ramy is an absolutely brilliant director obviously.
490
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Yeah.
491
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,000
Game changer, but I think without Bruce Campbell, I don't think we have Evil Dead.
492
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,000
I don't think Bruce Campbell's contributions can be overstated.
493
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,000
And and and and Obviously, I would say the reverse is obviously true as well. Like Bruce Campbell couldn't have done what Ramy did and Remy couldn't have did. They needed each other.
494
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,000
That's why they're such a good team.
495
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,000
That's why it's beautiful, Sarah.
496
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Symbiotic.
497
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,000
I'm going to get a picture frame picture of Sam Ramy and Bruce Campbell and put it next to my bed.
498
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,000
I'll um I'll photoshop something and just put loads of hearts around the heads.
499
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Yeah. Make a shrine.
500
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Yeah.
501
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,000
And kiss it every night.
502
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Yeah. Alongside the pictures of Frank Gillow.
503
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,000
Yeah. Which is not a joke. This is not a bit.
504
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Nope.
505
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,000
We have a framed picture of Frank Gillo.
506
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Three framed pictures of Frank Gillo.
507
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,000
It's one big frame within it. Smaller pictures of Frank Gill.
508
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,000
Yeah,
509
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,000
because why the f*** not?
510
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Because why not? We're not going to explain why.
511
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,000
It just is. And you have to accept it sometimes, didn't you? Cuz things just are the way they are.
512
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,000
It's because our house is called the Gorilla Pad.
513
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,000
Oh, you explained it.
514
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,000
But we're moving soon, so we have to come up with a new name for the new house,
515
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,000
do we?
516
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,000
Yeah. Cuz this is the Gorilla Pad.
517
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,000
What are we going to do with our Frank Gorilla pictures?
518
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,000
We'll take it with us for posterity. We'll put it in the podcast room.
519
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,000
All right. Um open for suggestions. What should our new house be called?
520
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Votes.
521
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,000
Write in. Text us to um social media at Shoot the Hostage Podcast. Right.
522
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,000
Uh I don't know. I I actually don't know our email address.
523
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Google it.
524
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,000
No, I don't know emails. Just go on social media and DM us.
525
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Yeah. Just just like open your front door. and shout really loudly and on a quiet day we might hear you.
526
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,000
I won't hear a thing. My hearing is terrible.
527
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Right. I might hear you.
528
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Yeah, you might. Um but yeah, that that that that coupling of um Bruce Campbell and Sam Ramy I think is alltime like actor director collaboration there.
529
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,000
Yeah.
530
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,000
And the movies
531
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,000
like for some people it's Scorsese and DiCaprio.
532
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Yeah. Or Dairo.
533
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,000
But um
534
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Yeah. But I'm using more current references. But this is the this is the horror version of that.
535
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,000
I think so.
536
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,000
I'm sure there's
there's others that I I'm not thinking of right now, but but it's so and and Evil Dead one had that notoriety about it. Evil Dead 2 was just a really fun movie that
537
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,000
people really liked and it really benefited from the VHS era and early internet and stuff and got a lot of buzz about it. Army of Darkness I feel like is the kind of the black sheep of the family a little bit. Like
538
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,000
I feel like that one flew under the radar a little bit. And I can understand why because it's not called Evil Dead, it's called Army of Darkness,
539
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,000
which always f***** me off because if you're somebody who's got a movie collection that you want to be alphabetical, how annoying is that?
540
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Yeah,
541
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,000
cuz I had them separately for years and it did my head in.
542
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,000
I know, but you're because you're such a such a stickler for following the rules to the letter. See, my rule was if there's a trilogy, you put them together and call them the Captain America trilogy. Never mind if one's called Civil War and one's called the Winter Soldier. You put them together ever cuz they're Captain America.
543
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Oh, it just complicates things though.
544
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,000
It doesn't though. It makes it simpler cuz you're going, "Oh, where the f***** Evil Dead free?"
545
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,000
We're stickers in different ways. Okay.
546
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,000
You have your rules and I have my rules which change to your rules eventually.
547
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Happy wife. Happy wife.
548
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,000
That phrase that you love, Sarah.
549
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,000
I love it when it benefits me. Reverse. Sexism.
550
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Yeah. Touch. Um, Evil Dead too.
551
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Let's talk about the VFX. You teased this. Let's do it
552
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,000
a while ago.
553
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,000
Um, so let's start with the the Harry Hen inspired stuff.
554
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,000
We talked about Harry Hen in your season and he's
555
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,000
we did well back up again now.
556
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,000
We did in a rap show, didn't we, a little bit and we did um I did I did notice was it was I can't remember what part of the film it is.
557
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,000
Well, he buries Linda's body.
558
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,000
Yeah, it was decapitated Linda, wasn't it? That is attacking him with the chainsaw.
559
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,000
Yeah. And she's like, "Was that a dance?" She's still dancing.
560
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,000
It's the dancing. You're right.
561
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,000
And like picks the head back up and puts the head on and then takes the head off again.
562
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,000
It's so good.
563
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,000
How long did that take?
564
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,000
It looks like stop motion. Let's be honest. It doesn't look seamless. It's a 40 odd year old movie. But oh my god, it's it's magical.
565
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,000
It's just we don't need realism. Exactly that. It's so charming.
566
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Yeah. It just And I mean, especially in The Evil Dead, I feel like you can really you if you'd have put
567
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Oh, it's a fantastical movie. Yeah.
568
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Bugs Bunny in there. Like that wouldn't have would have been fine as well. I think it wouldn't matter.
569
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,000
It would have been a little bit weird, but I see what you're saying.
570
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,000
I think I would have just been like, "Yeah, fair. Yeah, tracks
571
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,000
everything but the kitchen sink."
572
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,000
But it did look I was thinking for a minute it was the chainsaw bit, but it's not. Um, you're right. It's the dancing part where the She's f****** about with her head.
573
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,000
Yeah.
574
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Yeah.
575
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,000
It's so cool. And I don't know I don't know who was responsible for that. I probably should have checked. But um but yeah, phenomenal job.
576
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,000
I really like all of the blood. I guess I I want to say there's lots of different colored blood and there's lots of it.
577
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Well, so that was another intentional decision to try and avoid an X-rating.
578
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Yeah.
579
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Which didn't work.
580
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,000
Yeah. Um, but yeah, there's a lot of like black and green and all all sorts of disgusting liquids.
581
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Yeah. Yeah. I wonder how they did the hand the hand situation cuz there's that really lovely and this is my favorite part of the movie.
582
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Mhm.
583
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,000
It's when he's looking in the mirror and then his reflection reaches out and grabs him. And I thought about triangle in that scene because we've got that really lovely mirror scene in triangle as well.
584
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,000
Oh, where the camera sort of seemingly goes into the mirror which is mass like it's wonderfully great. Yeah.
585
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,000
And um this doesn't do that. It just has Ash reaching out and strangling himself and then his hand becomes infected and then his 10 minutes of him fighting his hand.
586
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Yeah. And it didn't occur to me until this viewing that we would never have had idle hands were it not for this movie.
587
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,000
Oh. Was it inspired by this?
588
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Oh, it had to have been.
589
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Was it inspired by the Hand movie?
590
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,000
The Hand movie. Uh,
591
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,000
do you mean talk to me that we just did?
592
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,000
It's just movies about severed hands this season.
593
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,000
I No, I'm talking about Adam's family values.
594
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,000
Oh, right. Okay.
595
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Yeah, that one. What was I talking about? Hands.
596
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,000
Dismbodied hands.
597
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,000
Disembodied hands. That's right. I just love Bruce Campbell in that. I just just f****** about with his hand, fighting his hand. It then
598
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,000
that was mostly improvised by him.
599
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Yeah. The the flip the flip is insane. Like I like he has done himself some damage.
600
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Yeah.
601
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,000
And it's it's insane. But wow is it entertaining.
602
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Well, was it he must have been in his 20ies.
603
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Yeah. They were both both in their early 20s, I think.
604
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Early 20s.
605
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,000
I don't know. 87. Maybe they were like mid to late 20s possibly.
606
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,000
In your 20s, you're still bound.
607
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Yeah. You're still pretty indestructible. Yeah.
608
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,000
But I'm sure there was some long-term damage that he that he did there. But I, you know, it we said it earlier, it's worth it for the arc. You know, put the actors in harm's way
609
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,000
and then we get to watch a better thing.
610
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,000
Consent to it.
611
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,000
You should like reiterate that.
612
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,000
I would say some of them don't have to consent.
613
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,000
Depends who it is. If it's Jared Leto, do what you want.
614
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,000
Depends who it is. Yeah. Chuck him in the fire pit. It's fine. Chuck him in that pit. Fill it with serpents. Lock the door. Off you go. It's for a movie, Darren. All right. You see him pretending to be a snake in the bottom. Yeah. And then
615
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,000
pretending.
616
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,000
And then he's joined by James Franco and Army Hammer shortly after.
617
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Yeah.
618
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,000
And Jonathan Major.
619
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,000
Yeah.
620
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,000
They're all in there fighting serpents.
621
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,000
So each other then
622
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,000
directed by Uveu Ball.
623
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,000
I like this movie.
624
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,000
I think this movie
625
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,000
on Ben Shapiro's streaming service
626
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,000
on his dime. I think Ben Shapiro should spend the rest of his money on that movie and then it can't secure a release.
627
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Yeah,
628
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,000
that would make me very happy.
629
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Me too. This podcast just becoming wish fulfillment.
630
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Yeah.
631
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,000
But just all of that that's that the um the stuff of the hand where it's dragging him along the floor
632
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,000
and then he eventually cuts it off
633
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,000
and then it it just it's its own sentient sentient thing and it's running around the house. And one of my favorite things in in this movie is that for all of the chaos that's going on, all of the demons, all of the zombies, the ghosts, the the trees, the the the the bendy roads, the the bridges that bend upwards for some reason.
634
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,000
The map paintings.
635
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,000
Matt paintings. For all of its craziness, the thing that that tips him over the edge is the hand sticking his finger up to him.
636
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,000
Yeah.
637
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,000
You son of a b****. And that really makes me laugh. And oh, it just kills me with everything.
638
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,000
Yeah.
639
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,000
And he tries to shoot it with the with the shotgun. I enjoy that so much. And I love seeing his character progression through this movie as well. And it's so satisfying to me
640
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,000
when he comes up out of the seller in that in that last act and I'm just like ah he has arrived. Ash Williams is here.
641
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,000
I think the humor is just really well judged in that scene as well. I mean throughout the movie but especially in that in that scene
642
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,000
in the basement scene or in
643
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,000
with the hand the hand stuff.
644
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,000
Oh, it's great.
645
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,000
Really really well done.
646
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,000
It's the Bruce Campbell show.
647
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Yeah.
648
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,000
And it's it's the best he's ever done. And I enjoy him in Maniac Cop, don't get me wrong. But
649
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,000
yeah, this is this is top 10 performances. Maybe top and comedian performances.
650
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,000
Yeah.
651
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Yeah.
652
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,000
Yeah. Definitely.
653
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,000
But in terms of the other kind of effects work, there's just I mean, where do you where do we start?
654
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,000
What what um I mean the makeup's the makeup's great. I love I love the poppy eyeball stuff.
655
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Oh, the eyeball going into the she is
it Bobby Joe going into her mouth. Um apparently they filmed that in reversely.
656
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Yeah, she spat the eyeball out of her mouth.
657
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Yeah. Well, I'm guessing probably on a string or something and they pulled it.
658
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,000
That would make more sense.
659
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,000
Yeah.
660
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Would hurt your cheeks.
661
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,000
Yeah. But um yeah, the poppy eyeball stuff, the Henrietta stuff,
662
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,000
and I don't just mean Ted Ramy in a suit,
663
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,000
which was great because he's unrecognizable.
664
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Yeah.
665
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,000
But also the kind of more grotesque head on a stick Henrietta stuff towards the end.
666
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,000
I love that. You know, I'm a sucker for a puppet. Um, and I I love that version of Henrietta with like the snake neck.
667
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Great. Yeah, it's great. And is this is this um
668
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,000
is this the movie that started KMBB?
669
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,000
Oh, I don't know. I saw their name in the credits.
670
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,000
I want to say that maybe it was in the works or some of them met on this one and then by the next film you had K&B.
671
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,000
I believe that's the situ. Okay. I can Can you remember the third guy's name? I know it's Greg Nicotero.
672
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Yeah.
673
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Robert Curtsman.
674
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,000
Yeah. And
675
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,000
And the other guy,
676
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Julian.
677
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Julian.
678
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Yeah.
679
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,000
I feel really bad.
680
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Why?
681
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,000
I feel like we should look that up. Um
682
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,000
Oh, right about that.
683
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,000
Yeah.
684
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,000
I suppose the forgotten third guy. Um the bee of the K&B.
685
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,000
Well, I forgot all of them, so
686
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,000
I know it's Nicotero, Curtsman, and B. It's It's The Walking Dead people who've done
687
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,000
every movie you've ever seen that's got effects in it.
688
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,000
Yeah.
689
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,000
It's Yeah. They've just unparalleled really, aren't they? Like
690
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,000
I don't know about unparalleled. They're certainly like
691
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,000
Fair. We probably I probably say that about every time we talk about Stan Winston or
692
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Stan Winston, Rob Boutine. Like we've talked about a bunch of of the greats
693
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,000
on this on this show. Rick Baker.
694
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,000
There's a reason they keep getting work, I guess.
695
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Yeah. But certainly
696
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,000
like hovering around the top.
697
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,000
Yeah,
698
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,000
for sure.
699
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Yeah. Legends.
700
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,000
I suppose this movie hinges on a few things. It hinges on Bruce Campbell, but it does also hinge on the the special effects.
701
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,000
Yeah.
702
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,000
And perhaps that might get um missed sometimes, but they are really fun
703
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,000
and grotesque.
704
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,000
Yeah.
705
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,000
And inventive.
706
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,000
And again, another comparison to um Peter Jackson. There's like almost as much fake blood here as there was in Brain Dead. Well, yeah,
707
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,000
there can't be much in it.
708
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,000
I think there was a there was a fake blood blood shortage in New Zealand when Brain Dead was being made when that was in production.
709
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Something that I wanted to ask. So, like that you mentioned it already like the Sam Ramy cam thing like
710
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,000
Yeah,
711
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,000
in this I guess it's demon cam.
712
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,000
Yeah.
713
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,000
Does that have a name? Cuz it's been
714
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Remy Cam.
715
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Yeah, it's been aped a lot. by other people in the years since. Um, but it's it's so it's so him.
716
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,000
It is. Yeah. I mean, I I'm I'm curious now, so I'm googling this and I've I've written what is Sam Ramy's camera trick called?
717
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,000
Signature camera trick.
718
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Um, he's shaky cam apparently.
719
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,000
b*******. Is that an AI search? And they think like that we're safe from the robots for now.
720
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,000
No AI. Um, I said no AI b****.
721
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,000
It just says Wikipedia says shaky camera.
722
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,000
That's not what we mean. We know what f****** shaking camera is. You clowns.
723
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,000
How the Cohen brothers used a shaky cam. That's not what I asked.
724
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,000
Although there is a close connection between the Cohens and Sam Ramy. So
725
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,000
yeah,
726
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,000
somewhat relevant but not really.
727
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,000
Shared a flat.
728
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,000
They did with um Holly Hunter
729
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,000
and Francis McDor. It's McDorman.
730
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Yeah.
731
00:12:10,000 -->
00:12:11,000
I I read somewhere that the character of Bobby Joe in Evil Dead 2 was uh based on Holly Hunter.
732
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Yes. And they put her forward for it.
733
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Yeah. They wanted her for the role, but she was deemed not sexy enough.
734
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,000
She wasn't hot enough.
735
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,000
f*** casting directors. f*** the money people.
736
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,000
I agree.
737
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Holly Hunter's great.
738
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Yeah.
739
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,000
No, I agree.
740
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Ludicrous. Anyway, um what did you think of the the other characters. Let's talk about that for a minute.
741
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,000
They are
742
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,000
they kind of don't really register because you're all eyes are on Bruce Campbell,
743
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,000
but they are there.
744
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,000
I suppose out of all of them, it's the um the Annie character that stands out because she lasts the longest. Yeah,
745
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,000
there's one one who she's with that's dispatched
746
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,000
fairly quickly, I guess.
747
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,000
Not quickly enough for my liking.
748
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Quickly enough. Um and there's there's one of those rules as well that I I love. He he he turns into into a zombie because he was thrown into a mirror. Fine.
749
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,000
All right.
750
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,000
We're not here to question the mechanics of the plot. Okay.
751
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,000
Yeah. Yeah. I suppose Dan Hicks was fun
752
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,000
as the the redneck.
753
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,000
Yeah.
754
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,000
But um but not much of them that like they're they're not in it for very long.
755
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,000
They're they're they're quite rightly on the periphery. I think that was a good move because I mean one glimpse at Bruce Campbell's performance and it It's a pretty safe bet that most people are going to be focused on him, right?
756
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,000
Yes.
757
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,000
So, the others don't really need to do a great deal.
758
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,000
I wonder if they're even necessary. I don't I don't know why we I suppose you've got to introduce an element of peril or something like But I don't know. I feel like Bruce Campbell is already doing that.
759
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,000
That's just more people to kill, isn't it?
760
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,000
I suppose it that's what horror films are to
761
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,000
kill. Yeah. Yeah. I suppose so. I suppose you're right. Can't
762
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,000
foder
763
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,000
can't go the whole horror movie without someone being killed, can you?
764
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Yeah, exactly.
765
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,000
No, I suppose so. But yeah, I mean, they were fine. They they they were there and they they did the job and
766
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Yeah.
767
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,000
I thank them for it and paid them.
768
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,000
Yeah. I didn't love Annie, I'll be honest.
769
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Oh, you didn't?
770
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,000
No. And it's not necessarily down to the actress. It wasn't the performance. I don't love how she was written.
771
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,000
I don't love that character. Like, I mean, she is in essence the final girl. This film doesn't really have a final girl, but you know, know in loose terms I guess she's our final girl and I don't I don't love that sort of snooty kind of she's just interested in book learning but they needed somebody who could translate the kandari and stuff and
772
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,000
yeah
773
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,000
I understand why she was there but yeah I didn't love that character
774
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,000
she was meant to be the daughter of the
775
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Henrietta
776
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Henrietta and
777
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,000
the other guy
778
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,000
the professor guy smoking the pipe
779
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,000
yeah
780
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,000
we'll call him
781
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,000
the guy whose fault this all is yeah effectively.
782
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Oh, Kel Sup Priest. Whose fault is it? It's a f****** old white dude with a pipe and a cardigan. Always.
783
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,000
There's the theme. We found one.
784
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,000
The patriarchy. That could be every film, though.
785
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Maybe the demon's female.
786
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,000
I think the demon should be female.
787
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Yeah, I think I think I think you're right.
788
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Do you have a favorite gag in this movie.
789
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,000
I mean, I just love the
790
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,000
the hand stuff.
791
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Yeah.
792
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,000
Yeah.
793
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,000
I I if I had to one single moment, it's it's where he flips himself.
794
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Yeah.
795
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Not in that way.
796
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,000
But just where it begins with him hitting himself in the face and the escalation with the plates and then doing the flip. I just I'm so I admire that so much. I admire the commitment so much and it's so enjoyable.
797
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,000
It's just really good old school physical comedy. Yeah.
798
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,000
And you don't necessarily expect to do that in a film like this.
799
00:13:18,000 -->
00:13:19,000
Yeah.
800
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,000
As an extension of that, I think my favorite visual gag is when he puts the pile of books on the hand and on top it's just a farewell to arms.
801
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,000
Yeah, that was really good.
802
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Really, really funny.
803
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,000
Excellent choice, whoever decided on that.
804
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,000
Was there a Was there a L Street reference in this? Did you mention that?
805
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,000
So, we see the Freddy Glove twice.
806
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,000
Ah,
807
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,000
it's in the workshed. Workshed. Um, what a weird dubbed line. I read something about that.
808
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,000
What was this about? A workshed thing.
809
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,000
So, it's just um Bruce Campbell says workshed. Yeah. At one point, and there's like a dubbed line, but it kind of became like a running joke behind the scenes for some reason.
810
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,000
Um yes. So, there's the there's a Freddy glove in there
811
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,000
and again um we see it in the basement,
812
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,000
right,
813
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,000
when Ash is down there
814
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,000
because there So, this is 87. I believe there was an Evil Dead 2 poster in Dream Warriors or was it Evil Dead Dream Warriors. You left me hanging there.
815
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,000
Sorry. Yeah, I forgot we do that.
816
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,000
No, there was a there was an Evil Dead one poster in El Street 1, I believe.
817
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,000
Yeah. And then they have like this ongo had
818
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,000
God rest his soul.
819
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,000
Where's
820
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,000
um they had like this really long running series of in jokes, didn't they? Where they would reference one another's movies
821
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,000
as a sort of bizarre game of oneupmanship.
822
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,000
Yeah. Fun.
823
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,000
Like a tongue and cheek. know my movie is scarier.
824
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Did I Did I hear at some point that after the success of Freddy versus Jason, there was they were trying to get a Ash versus Freddy versus Jason movie off the ground.
825
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,000
I have no idea. But I hate that. I hate that idea.
826
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,000
And I'm a huge fan of Freddy versus Jason. As s*** as it is, it's
827
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,000
not good.
828
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,000
And it is s***. It's
829
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,000
my favorite Evangelene Lily movie.
830
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,000
Well, more so than Ant-Man. Come on.
831
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,000
No, it's not. I
832
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,000
She's She's in it for like five seconds.
833
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,000
That's generous a frame.
834
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Yeah.
835
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Um that movie is rubbish, Sarah.
836
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,000
It is rubbish. It's absolute dog s***. However, I enjoy it.
837
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,000
Fair enough.
838
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Same with Jason X. I have so much love for Jason X, but it's turd.
839
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,000
Listen, if you throw Ash in there, you've just sold me a ticket.
840
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,000
You've improved exponentially.
841
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,000
So, I'm I would I would watch that.
842
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Fair enough.
843
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,000
Robert England and Bruce Campbell and the guy that has Jason
844
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,000
having a quip off.
845
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Yeah.
846
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,000
And Jason's just been the silent type as usual.
847
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Strong silent type.
848
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Yeah.
849
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,000
Yeah.
850
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Um what do you think about is there's a possibility that Ash murdered Linda and then the rest of it is just he's insane. Is the rest of it is in his mind and this is his way of dealing with it with coping with it.
851
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Well, that is a that is an interpretation.
852
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Is it really? Yeah.
853
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,000
Okay.
854
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,000
I I don't like that.
855
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,000
I was going to say, where do you sit on that? You don't like it?
856
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,000
I don't love it. No, I I much prefer just the literal version of events.
857
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,000
I think in a different movie it could be interesting, but I mean I mean we have seen it before, I guess.
858
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Yeah. I think in a in a balls tothe-wall comedy it doesn't necessarily work. No.
859
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,000
And you've already said like this is slapstick to the nth degree.
860
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,000
It would be an odd choice, wouldn't it? If if the reveal is Oh, this is really dark because he's murdered his partner. But don't worry, we've had a fun old time.
861
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,000
Yeah, that's that's the Freddy Alvarez version.
862
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,000
Yeah,
863
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,000
let him do that one.
864
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Yeah. Yeah. I don't I Yeah, I It's just something that occurred to me. It's I don't necessarily think that that is a credible theory or, you know, talk about it,
865
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,000
but I don't I can't see that.
866
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,000
I can disregard that pretty quickly, I think.
867
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,000
Yeah.
868
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,000
But it's interesting to think about. Yeah, I think this film is so loose on the rules
in inverted quotes
869
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,000
that you could make that interpretation quite easily, but I don't like it.
870
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,000
They'll probably recon it in Evil Dead for say he did kill his wife.
871
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,000
That one would be directed by Christopher Nolan.
872
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Oh no. And written by Aaron Sin because he can only write dudes.
873
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,000
But I love this movie. I love I love these. I love this the third movie. As I said, the third movie is my favorite.
874
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,000
I'm amazed you have haven't made me watch that in the time since watching Evil Dead 2. Actually,
875
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,000
I've in the last few days, you mean? Yeah,
876
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,000
I I've thought about it.
877
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,000
Yeah, I bet you have.
878
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,000
I've watched it couple of years ago. I watch it fairly regularly, I guess. Out of all of them, that's the one that I'll smash on at any point. Just if I don't really know what to do, Army of Darkness will do.
879
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,000
Oh, for me, it's this one.
880
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,000
And and this one could qualify for that, too. But that one just takes it a little bit, I guess, because it's it's not quite as horror. Yeah.
881
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,000
So, it's not I don't have to be quite as like disgusting. She's just eating an eyeball.
882
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,000
That's win. That's that's
883
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,000
the aim of the game for me.
884
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Comfort movie for you, isn't it?
885
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Yeah. I think
886
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,000
can't relax without seeing someone chew on an eyeball
887
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,000
or just you wait for next week. Um,
888
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,000
sounds like a bush tucker trial.
889
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,000
I don't think there's any eyeball stuff, but
890
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,000
I am waiting for next week.
891
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,000
But yeah, I think Evil Dead 2 for me is just one of those films and there aren't that many of them. that any day of the week, no matter what mood I'm in, if you said, "Let's watch watch Evil Dead 2, I wouldn't put up a fight ever."
892
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,000
Yeah, I'm with you.
893
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Yes. Smash it on immediately. Let's have a good time.
894
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,000
I'm with you 100%. I love this movie.
895
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,000
I can't imagine ever getting tired of it cuz there's just so much happening.
896
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,000
I just I love the absurdity of the whole thing. Two and three included in that, you know. I I love the alternative um ending of the third movie
897
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,000
and I wish that was the that was what the theatrical one was, but it it ends on such a crazy note. And I I would love the to have seen what a fourth movie would have done with the with the alternative ending, which I won't spoil cuz it's only 40 years old.
898
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,000
It's on you if you haven't seen it, but I guess I'll do the right thing and not spoil it.
899
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,000
But I I think the only thing that annoys me about Army of Darkness is that um Sam Ramy retcons more stuff again because obviously at the end of this movie when he's thrust back in time through the wormhole or whatever. He's sort of like kills a dead eyee and is hailed a hero by Sam Ramy in a director cameo in fact.
900
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,000
And then by Army of Darkness, he's a goo he's a doofus again.
901
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,000
Yeah.
902
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,000
And they cut him off.
903
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Boomstick.
904
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Yeah. So I'm just saying Don Mancini could teach him a thing or two.
905
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,000
Look. And and and they they shot the first movie again for the third movie. They did the recap. again, I believe.
906
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,000
Yeah,
907
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,000
it's mad. There's nothing quite like it, which is part of the reason why it's so interesting. I don't care so much that they recon everything. I really admire the Chuck um Child's Play franchise as we discussed in that episode for that same reason.
908
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,000
But I also really like this and sometimes I've just
909
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,000
sometimes if a movie is good enough and entertaining enough, you can just do whatever you want.
910
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,000
It's better than Crime Wave.
911
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Oh, yeah.
912
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,000
I'm still a I'm like harboring a little bit of resentment towards you. for making me watch that piece of s***.
913
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,000
I thought it was, you know, I just thought it would be interesting to watch. I saw the ratings was like, it's not great, but I bet there'll be something to it cuz it's Sam Ray and it was not good.
914
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,000
No,
915
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,000
but it's I'm glad that I have seen it cuz it is a reference point now that we can probably forget at some point in the near future.
916
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,000
I'm just have to hope that neither of us suffers a head injury that involves amnesia and we never watch it again accidentally.
917
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Yeah. cuz that would suck. Imagine having to experience it twice. Anyway,
918
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,000
once was enough.
919
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,000
Yeah, Evil Dead 2.
920
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,000
Good movie.
921
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,000
It's It's all right. Yeah. Yeah,
922
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,000
it's pretty good.
923
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,000
Four and a half stars.
924
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,000
Lovely.
925
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,000
As close to perfection as you can get.
926
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Nothing's perfect.
927
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,000
I wonder what would qualify five star movie for you.
928
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,000
The Thing.
929
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,000
Thing.
930
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Yeah.
931
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Yeah. That's the only one. There are others, but they're few and far between.
932
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,000
Yeah.
933
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,000
So, four and a half stars is hella generous for me.
934
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,000
That's very That's a very strong I mean, I'm going all the way with this. I'm going five stars for this. I'm going five stars for Army of Darkness. Like, I just love them and I watch them all the time. And it's not My five stars doesn't necessarily mean perfect movie. It just means I really like it a lot.
935
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,000
Yeah. Well, that's for everybody's different parameters for their rating.
936
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,000
Yeah. It's all and it's all bollocks. Oh, I gave this thing three and a half out of five. What does that mean? I don't opinion. It is important now. Whatever.
937
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,000
Why is that?
938
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,000

939
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Yeah, I know.
940
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Oh, at least we know we're not important.
941
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,000
Yeah. We haven't disappeared up our own asses yet.
942
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,000
Yeah.
943
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,000
Take take whatever we say with a grain of salt.
944
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,000
Yeah. If if we're ever like really successful though, like I'm going to turn into a piece of s***. Oh, yeah.
945
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,000
I'm going to be like so demanding. I'm not going to Yeah. I won't talk to people in public.
946
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,000

955
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,000

956
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,000

So, I'm looking forward to it. Which makes One of us.
965
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,000
I did some of the um I looked through some of the pictures on IMDb the other day when I was making the this schedule post and yeah, I'm
966
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,000
so you've seen some of the tamer stuff.
967
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,000
It's Yeah, I guess so. I'm really like not really looking forward to this at all in the sense that I just know it's going to be a miserable time and I suspect that's the point, but it's going to be tough and I need to be in a in an okay place, I think, when we watch it.
968
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Yeah, we need some brain bleach immediately afterwards.
