00:00:00,240 --> 00:01:16,656
SA hello,
2
00:01:16,768 --> 00:01:20,896
everyone, and welcome to episode number 101
3
00:01:20,968 --> 00:01:24,752
of the Friday Nightmares podcast. I am
4
00:01:24,856 --> 00:01:27,620
one half of your hosting team this evening.
5
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:31,380
Part of the, you know, premium podcasters.
6
00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:35,692
Not like that trashy beef Wellington of podcasters that
7
00:01:35,716 --> 00:01:38,604
Tim Davis keeps bringing up on the Horror for Dummies,
8
00:01:38,732 --> 00:01:42,076
but I am one half of your hosting team, Mr.
9
00:01:42,188 --> 00:01:45,356
Smoke Show Crawford, coming to you from the town of Schwartz
10
00:01:45,388 --> 00:01:48,732
Creek in the county of Genesee in the state of Michigan,
11
00:01:48,796 --> 00:01:52,924
in the United States of America, in the North American continent, in the Western
12
00:01:52,972 --> 00:01:56,012
hemisphere, on the planet Earth, in the Milky Way galaxy,
13
00:01:56,076 --> 00:01:59,232
fully vaccine boosted and waxed and ready to climax. And if
14
00:01:59,256 --> 00:02:02,544
you can, please get me wet and feed me after midnight.
15
00:02:02,672 --> 00:02:05,936
I'm the man with the glorious beard, aka the mother
16
00:02:05,968 --> 00:02:09,760
of cats, aka the man with the humongous ego,
17
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:13,888
aka Scott Housing, aka Scotty2Hottie,
18
00:02:13,984 --> 00:02:16,576
aka Spanky, aka hey,
19
00:02:16,608 --> 00:02:20,256
Scott. And you know, with me, as always,
20
00:02:20,408 --> 00:02:23,872
is the other truly premium podcaster on.
21
00:02:23,896 --> 00:02:27,632
This team, Heather Powell, coming to you
22
00:02:27,656 --> 00:02:30,960
today from Waterdown, Ontario, Canada, not Australia,
23
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,768
because that's where trashy podcasters live, right? Let's be real.
24
00:02:34,904 --> 00:02:39,568
They're the colony that Britain forgot about there.
25
00:02:39,704 --> 00:02:43,340
They keep saying they're the beef Wellington of the podcast community.
26
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,808
They're the beef Wellington that Gordon ramsay watches on
27
00:02:47,864 --> 00:02:51,952
YouTube and reacts to terrible Americans. So, like the baloney
28
00:02:52,016 --> 00:02:55,432
beef Wellingtons of. The pony Keith Wellington.
29
00:02:55,496 --> 00:02:59,112
That's really funny. Oh, my goodness.
30
00:02:59,176 --> 00:03:02,900
We're at the, well, almost the end of 2024.
31
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,632
By the time you hear this, we probably. Yeah, actually by the time you hear
32
00:03:06,656 --> 00:03:10,488
this is 2026, but this was recorded in December,
33
00:03:10,584 --> 00:03:13,960
to be exact, December 8th of 2024.
34
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,352
I, I kind of figured with Scott, besides no Furatu,
35
00:03:17,496 --> 00:03:20,660
I couldn't really see anything else that was coming out
36
00:03:20,970 --> 00:03:24,322
that was going to be a contender for

end of the year list.
37
00:03:24,426 --> 00:03:28,750
So I figured we might as well just get her done because
38
00:03:29,290 --> 00:03:33,538
it's, it's slowing down quite intensely.
39
00:03:33,634 --> 00:03:37,234
So. Yeah, and I've, I think I've been just burnt out on like the
40
00:03:37,242 --> 00:03:40,690
ones that I've watched over this last year. So I've been taking
41
00:03:40,730 --> 00:03:43,938
a break and doing a lot of Christmas horror films and
42
00:03:43,994 --> 00:03:47,340
some older horror films. And. Yeah, just kind of just
43
00:03:47,380 --> 00:03:51,148
wrapping up. I got a couple big ones or at least fairly big ones
44
00:03:51,164 --> 00:03:54,700
I still gotta watch. But yeah, I'm thinking I thought I was
45
00:03:54,740 --> 00:03:58,332
gonna be at close to 121, 25. I think I'm gonna be closer to
46
00:03:58,356 --> 00:04:02,428
110 to 115. Hey, you know, this is my lowest year
47
00:04:02,484 --> 00:04:05,852
at 160. Yeah. One year I
48
00:04:05,876 --> 00:04:09,932
was like last year I was 189. In 2022,
49
00:04:09,956 --> 00:04:13,682
I was 205. And then in 2021, I was
50
00:04:13,836 --> 00:04:17,846
208. So I'm. I'm okay with it.
51
00:04:17,918 --> 00:04:20,850
I. You know, especially now as we slow down,
52
00:04:21,870 --> 00:04:25,430
it was. It's been hard. Some. I. I watched some that I just thought were
53
00:04:25,470 --> 00:04:28,570
silly for fun. For funsies.
54
00:04:29,150 --> 00:04:32,870
But I figured we ended off. The last one we're going to talk
55
00:04:32,910 --> 00:04:36,054
about is probably the. The prize pig, to be honest.
56
00:04:36,182 --> 00:04:39,446
Um, so we'll talk about that. But, yeah, it's been.
57
00:04:39,598 --> 00:04:42,682
It's been a year. It's been a year of
58
00:04:42,706 --> 00:04:46,266
up and downs for me. Some real good ups of
59
00:04:46,338 --> 00:04:49,870
going away and seeing my friends in England, going to France,
60
00:04:50,370 --> 00:04:53,466
all the podcasting I've done with Scotty, many a nights
61
00:04:53,498 --> 00:04:56,954
out with friends, and of course, the down of my dad passing away this year.
62
00:04:57,042 --> 00:05:00,138
Yeah, but. But, you know,
63
00:05:00,274 --> 00:05:03,514
we continue on and I'm forever grateful for a brother
64
00:05:03,562 --> 00:05:06,786
like Scotty who got me through even, you know,
65
00:05:06,898 --> 00:05:10,210
miles. Miles and miles away. The love was very transparent.
66
00:05:10,290 --> 00:05:13,362
So thank you again, Scotty, for all you do. And I'm excited for
67
00:05:13,386 --> 00:05:17,090
2025 to celebrate yourself and Erica's wedding. That's something that I'm looking forward
68
00:05:17,130 --> 00:05:20,450
to. Yeah. Saying thank you for being such a good friend. You've helped me out
69
00:05:20,490 --> 00:05:24,194
through so much over the years as well. So it's, you know, that's what brothers
70
00:05:24,242 --> 00:05:27,218
and sisters, or as close friends like
we are do. We.
71
00:05:27,274 --> 00:05:30,690
That's true. We're there for each other and like premium podcasters do.
72
00:05:30,730 --> 00:05:33,790
Yeah, exactly, exactly. You know, we're like the.
73
00:05:34,090 --> 00:05:38,058
We're like the Tomahawks stake of podcasters. We're gonna go food
74
00:05:38,114 --> 00:05:41,482
route. I love it. I love it.
75
00:05:41,586 --> 00:05:45,110
I haven't listened to the most recent Horror for Dummies, and I need to.
76
00:05:46,130 --> 00:05:49,482
Yeah, I. I always. They always make me
77
00:05:49,506 --> 00:05:52,362
laugh, especially when they make fun of me, because I'm sure people listen to that
78
00:05:52,386 --> 00:05:55,642
show. They'd be like, oh, man, this Heather Girls are real. See you next Tuesday.
79
00:05:55,826 --> 00:05:59,450
And I. I think I do definitely present a specific
80
00:05:59,530 --> 00:06:02,790
Persona on this show that's super sized to who I actually am.
81
00:06:03,580 --> 00:06:06,756
But that's okay. That's what we do here. And we made it over to.
82
00:06:06,828 --> 00:06:09,892
We made it over a hundred episodes, so congratulations to us.
83
00:06:09,996 --> 00:06:12,916
We're 101 Dalmatians, 101 episodes in,
84
00:06:12,988 --> 00:06:16,388
and we'll. We'll wrap up this very mediocre year,
85
00:06:16,444 --> 00:06:19,320
I guess, in horror with. With some standouts.
86
00:06:19,900 --> 00:06:24,244
Yeah, I think so. Like. Right, yeah. The. The 2024 awards show
87
00:06:24,332 --> 00:06:28,020
shall be interesting to say the least. I think this will be the first
88
00:06:28,060 --> 00:06:31,332
year where our lists will be very, very opposite. Um,
89
00:06:31,396 --> 00:06:34,868
I can't actually even predict, actually. I have an idea of some of them.
90
00:06:34,924 --> 00:06:38,308
I think Scott and I might have some crossover, but I think
91
00:06:38,364 --> 00:06:42,068
overall, there might be some very different thoughts on the year.
92
00:06:42,124 --> 00:06:45,780
Like, for example, obviously, that Mickey Mouse movie that came out this year is my
93
00:06:45,820 --> 00:06:48,452
number one film of the year. What was that called? Dead Mouse or something like
94
00:06:48,476 --> 00:06:51,716
that. Mousetrap. Mousetrap. The Mousetrap.
95
00:06:51,748 --> 00:06:54,560
Yes. Clearly that's the best film of the year. So I.
96
00:06:55,020 --> 00:06:58,892
It's. And it's as well put together as the board game Mousetrap.
97
00:06:58,996 --> 00:07:01,772
It is. It's. It's about the same quality,
98
00:07:01,836 --> 00:07:05,400
though Haunt season sure did give it a run for its money.
99
00:07:05,780 --> 00:07:09,212
Yeah. Fortunately. And this
100
00:07:09,236 --> 00:07:12,508
is also the year of folklore in terms of bags. Bake Head.
101
00:07:12,564 --> 00:07:14,920
Bag man. There's been a lot of bags this year.
102
00:07:15,620 --> 00:07:19,276
And in the one that I still just don't want to watch,
103
00:07:19,348 --> 00:07:22,604
just because the title. Daddy's Head. Oh, yes,
104
00:07:22,652 --> 00:07:25,948
yes, Daddy's Head. Yes, I saw Daddy's Head. I. The whole
105
00:07:25,964 --> 00:07:29,372
time was like. I know,
106
00:07:29,396 --> 00:07:32,664
because I showed Connor the title, and he's like, what the hell?
107
00:07:32,792 --> 00:07:36,020
I'm like, yeah, it's a terrible title. It's so good.
108
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,020
We should all watch it together.
109
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,440
Oh, he'd probably lose his damn mind. You know what I really
110
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,088
hope is that for Sakes Blumhouse, can you do better next year,
111
00:07:46,144 --> 00:07:49,060
please? For the love of God, can you please just.
112
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,984
God damn it. Can you just pull something out of your ass?
113
00:07:53,072 --> 00:07:56,152
Oh, actually, 824 is dropping. That kind of New Year's
114
00:07:56,216 --> 00:07:59,304
22,000 movie. That looks pretty. Oh, yeah. Y2K that. Yeah.
115
00:07:59,352 --> 00:08:02,884
Say, that looks fun. I don't know if that's being dropped before the. Of the
116
00:08:02,892 --> 00:08:05,828
year or not. I think it is. Is it?
117
00:08:05,884 --> 00:08:09,364
So that might be the only other one besides Offeratu that we are, I don't
118
00:08:09,372 --> 00:08:12,436
know, gonna ever talk about again.
119
00:08:12,588 --> 00:08:15,812
And hopefully I'll see both of them before we do
120
00:08:15,836 --> 00:08:18,080
our award show. But we shall see. Right?
121
00:08:19,260 --> 00:08:23,012
Anyway, we'll get into our 2024s, so we'll start off with this first
122
00:08:23,036 --> 00:08:27,000
one. I've been saying this name incorrectly. Is this Heretic?
123
00:08:27,340 --> 00:08:30,260
Heretic. Okay. This is a 2024 film.
124
00:08:30,300 --> 00:08:33,540
It was a theater watch. Hugh Grant is in this
125
00:08:33,580 --> 00:08:36,340
as the vil was quite a pleasant surprise.
126
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,112
The question. Question everything. Two young missionaries
127
00:08:40,176 --> 00:08:43,616
are forced to prove their fate when they knock on the wrong door
128
00:08:43,648 --> 00:08:48,112
and are greeted by a diabolical Mr. Reed becoming ensnared
129
00:08:48,176 --> 00:08:50,500
in a deadly game of cat and mouse.
130
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,152
This is a really, really great religious themed
131
00:08:55,216 --> 00:08:58,592
horror film. Hugh Grant, I, like, I could take
132
00:08:58,616 --> 00:09:01,712
or leave Hugh Grant. Like, I think he's a decent actor, but there's nothing that
133
00:09:01,736 --> 00:09:04,016
I've seen him in that I'm like, oh, man, Hugh Grant's in this movie.
134
00:09:04,048 --> 00:09:07,762
I can't wait to watch it. Right, right. But I
135
00:09:07,786 --> 00:09:11,570
think, you know, as a. As a villain here, I think he really
136
00:09:11,690 --> 00:09:15,106
portrayed a strong antagonist.
137
00:09:15,218 --> 00:09:18,338
Really,
really strong antagonist who you, you know,
138
00:09:18,394 --> 00:09:21,890
start, like, just is creepy the entire time and is
139
00:09:21,930 --> 00:09:25,470
unnerving and as only Hugh Grant can be.
140
00:09:26,010 --> 00:09:29,346
And I think the reviews echo that. Like, we're looking
141
00:09:29,418 --> 00:09:32,624
at. Duncan McLeish gave it four and a half stars.
142
00:09:32,762 --> 00:09:35,560
Rob the Hump gave it four and a half stars.
143
00:09:36,380 --> 00:09:40,052
I don't. Dave Bailey gave it four stars. Or Sandra Kane is his
144
00:09:40,076 --> 00:09:44,120
stripper name. Gave it four stars.
145
00:09:44,540 --> 00:09:48,212
And Sander recently found out that I would definitely pay
146
00:09:48,236 --> 00:09:52,052
to have him as a stripper. That's why he's not listening to
147
00:09:52,076 --> 00:09:54,320
the show anymore. He's like,
148
00:09:54,860 --> 00:09:58,372
heather's a creep anyway. But, yeah, this is
149
00:09:58,396 --> 00:10:01,700
good. I don't think you've watched it yet, have you, Scotty? No, because it's only
150
00:10:01,740 --> 00:10:04,452
been in the theater and I have and have not had a chance to go
151
00:10:04,476 --> 00:10:08,804
to the theater recently because, you know, Erica had her hysterectomy
152
00:10:08,852 --> 00:10:12,484
and, you know, the. For theater seats and everything like that and car drives,
153
00:10:12,532 --> 00:10:16,340
it would have been uncomfortable for. But yeah, we just been
154
00:10:16,380 --> 00:10:19,492
busy, you know, with holiday stuff going on and. Because we had
155
00:10:19,516 --> 00:10:23,220
Thanksgiving and Christmas in full force now, and we
156
00:10:23,260 --> 00:10:27,092
already got our Christmas tree up, our presents wrapped, all that stuff. All I'm hearing
157
00:10:27,156 --> 00:10:30,650
is excuses. Except. And I thought I was podcasting with Premium Podcaster,
158
00:10:30,730 --> 00:10:34,442
not Daniel and Tim. No, you're. For you. You're dealing with the
159
00:10:34,466 --> 00:10:36,670
Kraft Mac and Cheese of podcasting.
160
00:10:40,050 --> 00:10:43,674
That's funny. No, this is one I really want to
161
00:10:43,682 --> 00:10:46,554
see, though. I think you'll enjoy it. I think Erica will enjoy it too.
162
00:10:46,642 --> 00:10:49,370
It's very much a game of cat and mouse. And the less you know about
163
00:10:49,410 --> 00:10:53,530
going into it, the better. All I can say is that there's three main characters.
164
00:10:53,690 --> 00:10:57,578
Sophie Thatcher, Cleo east, and Hugh Grant. And they put together
165
00:10:57,714 --> 00:11:01,242
an incredible performance. Like, I am nothing but praise
166
00:11:01,306 --> 00:11:05,194
for the three of them. Whoever did the hiring and the casting for this movie
167
00:11:05,242 --> 00:11:09,578
knew exactly what they were fucking talking about. But it is dialect heavy,
168
00:11:09,674 --> 00:11:13,162
so be prepared for a Lot of talking. This isn't a movie that
you can
169
00:11:13,186 --> 00:11:16,442
play on your phone. You know, there's some movies out there, like,
170
00:11:16,466 --> 00:11:19,802
I'll talk about them, where you could go on your phone for 20 minutes,
171
00:11:19,866 --> 00:11:22,954
come back and you know, generally get what's going on. Right. This is not one
172
00:11:22,962 --> 00:11:26,794
of them. You do have to stay focused for the 111 minutes.
173
00:11:26,842 --> 00:11:30,842
And I will say it was unpredictable and
174
00:11:30,946 --> 00:11:34,666
I really, really did enjoy this, so recommend it.
175
00:11:34,738 --> 00:11:38,362
We may see this again at the end of the year. So the
176
00:11:38,386 --> 00:11:41,690
next one here. Did you watch this one? No, you. At first
177
00:11:41,730 --> 00:11:45,322
you were selling me on it and then it didn't sound like it
178
00:11:45,346 --> 00:11:48,794
would have been worth it. Yeah, this, this got weird
179
00:11:48,842 --> 00:11:52,298
real quickly. So this is called rumors. It's a 2024 film.
180
00:11:52,354 --> 00:11:56,138
It was released at TIFF this year, which is Toronto International Film Festival.
181
00:11:56,234 --> 00:12:00,470
I can just hear Rob the Hump now. Find me a real 2024.
182
00:12:02,290 --> 00:12:05,994
Anyway, the official motion picture of the G7.
183
00:12:06,082 --> 00:12:09,626
So en route to the annual G7 summit, seven leaders of the world's
184
00:12:09,658 --> 00:12:13,146
wealthiest liberal democracies get lost in the woods
185
00:12:13,178 --> 00:12:16,874
and facing increasing peril while attempting to drop a provisional
186
00:12:16,922 --> 00:12:21,354
statement regarding a global crisis. So Cate Blanchett
187
00:12:21,402 --> 00:12:25,438
and Roy Dupreece are some of the most recognizable names here.
188
00:12:25,494 --> 00:12:29,086
Though as you go through the other characters that play world leaders,
189
00:12:29,158 --> 00:12:31,530
you will have definitely seen them in other things.
190
00:12:32,710 --> 00:12:37,250
This kind of starts off as a mystery
191
00:12:38,710 --> 00:12:41,566
and it gets really weird.
192
00:12:41,758 --> 00:12:45,950
I will say that the first half is very engaging
193
00:12:46,110 --> 00:12:49,870
with the situation that these political leaders find themselves
194
00:12:49,950 --> 00:12:53,456
in regarding a global crisis and how they're trying
195
00:12:53,528 --> 00:12:57,392
to manage it. Then it gets kind of odd, like, then it
196
00:12:57,416 --> 00:13:01,536
just. It kind of goes off the rocker like only a film that's shown
197
00:13:01,568 --> 00:13:05,392
at a film festival can do. And I'm not quite sure if I got
198
00:13:05,416 --> 00:13:09,072
the point of the ending. I will say the acting is
199
00:13:09,096 --> 00:13:12,048
out of this world. The set design is amazing.
200
00:13:12,144 --> 00:13:16,048
And the first half of it, we're looking at a runtime. What is it
201
00:13:16,104 --> 00:13:20,020
here? Why does
it not say the runtime? Oh, 104 minutes.
202
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,136
I would say just about 70 to 80% of it's really solid.
203
00:13:24,168 --> 00:13:27,656
And then it gets really weird. And I don't. I don't know who to recommend
204
00:13:27,688 --> 00:13:31,432
this to. I think the first half is really
205
00:13:31,456 --> 00:13:35,192
great for a lot of people. And then it kind of goes this weird kind
206
00:13:35,216 --> 00:13:38,520
of sci fi, but not sci fi vibe
207
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,072
to it. Either way, if you like film festival stuff and you
208
00:13:42,096 --> 00:13:45,192
like things that are unique and different, I think this
209
00:13:45,216 --> 00:13:48,898
may be a film for you. There's really no one else that's watched it
210
00:13:48,954 --> 00:13:52,674
in our little community? Just me, because I'm a premium
211
00:13:52,722 --> 00:13:55,682
podcaster. But if anyone's interested,
212
00:13:55,746 --> 00:13:58,834
is available on Apple TV, Google Play, Amazon,
213
00:13:58,962 --> 00:14:02,434
YouTube and Microsoft Store. I would say you gotta
214
00:14:02,482 --> 00:14:06,002
really like kind of like political horror, really heavy dialogue
215
00:14:06,146 --> 00:14:10,450
and that typical kind of film festival, artsy out
216
00:14:10,490 --> 00:14:13,602
there kind of plot. If that's what you like, this will be a movie for
217
00:14:13,626 --> 00:14:16,862
you. If not, I don't think anyone needs to watch it for their
218
00:14:16,886 --> 00:14:20,110
end of year list. So good to know because, yeah, this one did have me
219
00:14:20,150 --> 00:14:23,118
curious. And as you kept talking to me about it, I'm just like, okay,
220
00:14:23,134 --> 00:14:26,750
I'm interested. Okay, yeah. This next one
221
00:14:26,790 --> 00:14:30,398
I'm thinking you probably have not seen. No. All right, so this is one
222
00:14:30,454 --> 00:14:34,126
I watched last night. It's called he sees you when you're
223
00:14:34,158 --> 00:14:38,398
sleeping, directed by Charles Steed and has an 83 minute runtime.
224
00:14:38,574 --> 00:14:42,862
Chester returns to the home of his estranged and hideously overprivileged
225
00:14:42,926 --> 00:14:46,782
family at Christmas, only to find an unknown killer disguised
226
00:14:46,846 --> 00:14:50,350
in a Santa outfit is stalking and killing family members one
227
00:14:50,390 --> 00:14:53,422
by one in order to claim the huge family fortune.
228
00:14:53,486 --> 00:14:56,862
Which one of them is the killer? Well, that's kind
229
00:14:56,886 --> 00:15:01,198
of a weird synopsis because it starts off that this character,
230
00:15:01,294 --> 00:15:05,294
Chester, as a kid in 1963
231
00:15:05,382 --> 00:15:08,878
or so, has wakes up on
232
00:15:08,934 --> 00:15:12,386
like, Christmas Day to a stage Santa killer killing
233
00:15:12,418 --> 00:15:16,786
his mom and dad, and then it jumps into the future like another
234
00:15:16,858 --> 00:15:20,322
horror movie. It's been in a couple. Yeah, like, that's been
235
00:15:20,346 --> 00:15:24,274
a theme of a couple different. Yeah, okay, I thought so.
236
00:15:24,442 --> 00:15:28,242
But this one that jumps into, like the 80s and
237
00:15:28,346 --> 00:15:31,474
then he go. Then he goes back to his estranged family. So there's like that
238
00:15:31,482 --> 00:15:34,802
piece that's missing from the synopsis, but this kid or this guy,
239
00:15:34,866 --> 00:15:38,750
you know, meets up with his family and he is such an
240
00:15:39,050 --> 00:15:43,062
like for a main character. Like, he is a dick to everybody.
241
00:15:43,126 --> 00:15:46,742
That's not even like his family, just people that are being friendly to
242
00:15:46,766 --> 00:15:50,486
him, like old neighbors. And he's just a dick to him going, okay,
243
00:15:50,518 --> 00:15:52,966
So I can see where this is going. There's not going to be a single
244
00:15:52,998 --> 00:15:57,334
likable character in this film. All right? And Caroline Williams
245
00:15:57,462 --> 00:16:00,854
is in this. Oh, okay. So I was like, okay, this could be good
246
00:16:00,942 --> 00:16:04,566
or could be bad. Yeah, she has hit her best.
247
00:16:04,718 --> 00:16:07,562
And yeah, this was not good.
248
00:16:07,666 --> 00:16:10,698
It was dumb. How you say that.
249
00:16:10,754 --> 00:16:14,538
Not good, not good. It was dumb.
250
00:16:14,634 --> 00:16:18,282
I didn't care about the reveal at the end about the killer
251
00:16:18,346 --> 00:16:21,834
Santa. I didn't care that anyone was getting Killed.
252
00:16:21,882 --> 00:16:25,146
Because you don't like any of these characters. So there was no sense
253
00:16:25,178 --> 00:16:28,506
of. Oh, no. It was more. Oh, okay. Anyways,
254
00:16:28,618 --> 00:16:31,754
moving on. Enough. Oh, no. The United Healthcare
255
00:16:31,802 --> 00:16:35,270
CEO died. Oh, Anyways, moving that type of.
256
00:16:37,710 --> 00:16:41,590
So that's pretty much how this movie felt. Oh, this. It just. There was
257
00:16:41,630 --> 00:16:45,558
nothing good about it. The Christmas atmosphere was okay.
258
00:16:45,654 --> 00:16:49,510
Terrifier 3 did a better Christmas atmosphere than this
259
00:16:49,550 --> 00:16:52,966
movie did. And, yeah, they just. Yeah. I've been watching
260
00:16:52,998 --> 00:16:56,614
a lot of questionable Christmas horror
261
00:16:56,662 --> 00:17:00,570
films, and yet this falls in that category of questionable.
262
00:17:00,910 --> 00:17:04,518
Yeah. Not one I'd recommend. Unless you're just needing a.
263
00:17:04,574 --> 00:17:07,380
You're in the mood for a Christmas horror movie. I would agree,
264
00:17:07,420 --> 00:17:10,724
though. I think terrifier 3, even though I did not enjoy it as
265
00:17:10,732 --> 00:17:14,532
much as the original, and I do feel it's getting a little slapstick still at
266
00:17:14,556 --> 00:17:18,180
this point. That being said, I do think it does Christmas well.
267
00:17:18,220 --> 00:17:21,000
Like, I definitely think it nails the Christmas vibe.
268
00:17:21,980 --> 00:17:25,380
And I. I don't think it'll be on my top 10,
269
00:17:25,420 --> 00:17:28,708
though. I don't think it will get there for me. It's just
270
00:17:28,764 --> 00:17:32,132
too, you know. And again, I respect the film. I think it's great. It's just
271
00:17:32,156 --> 00:17:35,678
getting too fucking silly. Like, when I'm like, there's certain scenes
272
00:17:35,694 --> 00:17:38,926
where the music that's being played is so silly with what's happening. I love it.
273
00:17:38,998 --> 00:17:42,958
It's just. I don't know. The first one is so dark. It's terrifying.
274
00:17:43,054 --> 00:17:46,410
Christmas. That song has been stuck in my head. I love it.
275
00:17:46,710 --> 00:17:50,190
I've been looking for it on Spotify and I can't find it anywhere. I'm just
276
00:17:50,230 --> 00:17:52,430
so glad that it's done well, you know, at the end of the day,
277
00:17:52,470 --> 00:17:56,078
I would never say it's not good. It's absolutely good. It's just.
278
00:17:56,134 --> 00:18:00,308
I find that my dislike of them is increasing with each one.
279
00:18:00,494 --> 00:18:03,864
Like, I even like the anthology that art is in more
280
00:18:03,952 --> 00:18:07,272
than I like Terrifier two and three. Wow. I do
281
00:18:07,296 --> 00:18:10,664
like. Well, this is the subway scene. The subway story I like.
282
00:18:10,752 --> 00:18:14,168
Yeah. Which I gotta say, I do kind of find it funny that you're not
283
00:18:14,224 --> 00:18:17,368
into the slapstickiness of this. I know it is weird.
284
00:18:17,464 --> 00:18:21,128
But then you look at the name of our podcast and you are Nightmare
285
00:18:21,144 --> 00:18:25,192
on Elm street part of the podcast name. I know, it's really weird,
286
00:18:25,256 --> 00:18:28,324
isn't it? Like, to be honest, you would think that.
287
00:18:28,512 --> 00:18:31,676
And I don't know if maybe. Because with the Nightmare on Elm
288
00:18:31,708 --> 00:18:35,372
street movies, I think I saw three first. And I wonder
289
00:18:35,436 --> 00:18:38,572
if my opinion had been different. Have you Seen
290
00:18:38,596 --> 00:18:41,756
one of these sequels. Yeah, right. If I had seen the original
291
00:18:41,868 --> 00:18:45,052
and then, like, done it, like what I did with the Terrifier films.
292
00:18:45,116 --> 00:18:48,524
Right, right. Okay. And again, like, this isn't me on the films.
293
00:18:48,572 --> 00:18:51,800
I think the films are awesome. It's just for me,
294
00:18:52,420 --> 00:18:55,640
I. I have my preference. Right. But again,
295
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,912
I think you're right. That. That nailed the Christmas. Like, nailed it.
296
00:19:00,016 --> 00:19:03,768
And I'm by their. Their practical facts.
297
00:19:03,784 --> 00:19:06,744
Sorry. Go ahead, Scotty. Oh, yeah, absolutely. But I was gonna say. And as you
298
00:19:06,752 --> 00:19:09,752
can tell, we've veered off from he sees you when you're sleeping to talk about
299
00:19:09,776 --> 00:19:12,820
Terrifier 3, which isn't even on our list today, just. No,
300
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,512
I did watch it and you mentioned it, so I thought, well, there's a perfect
301
00:19:17,576 --> 00:19:20,472
bridge to bring it in. Yeah, Well, I was gonna say that just goes to
302
00:19:20,496 --> 00:19:23,940
show, like, yeah, that's how good. This one movie. I was gonna talk about.
303
00:19:25,740 --> 00:19:28,932
Something else. Go watch this other movie. So if some
304
00:19:28,956 --> 00:19:32,436
reason someone needs to, like, I don't know, they're watching all the Christmas horror films.
305
00:19:32,468 --> 00:19:36,420
Where can they find this? He sees you when you're sleeping. This is on
306
00:19:36,540 --> 00:19:39,572
Google play, Amazon video, YouTube,
307
00:19:39,636 --> 00:19:43,236
Fandango at home. Buy it or rent it. I wouldn't
308
00:19:43,268 --> 00:19:47,236
recommend either, but apparently it is streaming
309
00:19:47,268 --> 00:19:50,852
on hoopla. So I believe that is like the. If you have a
310
00:19:50,956 --> 00:19:54,388
library card, you can stream movies from their website. Oh,
311
00:19:54,404 --> 00:19:57,428
there you go. So if you can stream it for free, do it that way.
312
00:19:57,484 --> 00:20:00,996
Don't bother paying money for this. This was not good. Like,
313
00:20:01,148 --> 00:20:05,236
only three people have watched it that I follow. And Doninelli
314
00:20:05,268 --> 00:20:08,308
is the only one that people here would recognize, I think, and that he gave
315
00:20:08,324 --> 00:20:12,356
it four out of five stars, which is why I love Donanelli. He has a.
316
00:20:12,428 --> 00:20:15,892
He has a love for these independent films that. He sees something in him that
317
00:20:15,916 --> 00:20:19,602
I don't, which is awesome. Yeah. And everyone has different. Different strokes that
318
00:20:19,626 --> 00:20:22,994
they like. Exactly. I watched half of
319
00:20:23,002 --> 00:20:25,670
this next one, and I thought it was very Spanish,
320
00:20:26,650 --> 00:20:30,498
so it was very much an international Spanish film.
321
00:20:30,554 --> 00:20:34,162
I'm like, oh, yeah, this is fucking Spanish. So I look
322
00:20:34,186 --> 00:20:37,154
forward to hearing. Was there no subtitles or something? Oh, did you not. Have you
323
00:20:37,162 --> 00:20:40,786
seen this one yet? Okay, we could take it off then. It's Rita. I'm halfway
324
00:20:40,818 --> 00:20:44,562
through on Shudder. And it's just, like, the vibe, you know, the vibe
325
00:20:44,626 --> 00:20:48,520
of Spanish movies where they're, like, dark and everything's fucked.
326
00:20:48,650 --> 00:20:51,996
And it, like, puts, let's say, children or other vulnerable
327
00:20:52,028 --> 00:20:55,356
people in shitty situations. Like, there's no happy
328
00:20:55,388 --> 00:20:59,676
ending. Yeah, that's that's.
That's. That's Spanish movies. It feels like Rita
329
00:20:59,708 --> 00:21:03,276
has that vibe. But I haven't fully watched it yet. I am halfway
330
00:21:03,308 --> 00:21:06,492
through. But if anyone does want to see it, it's the most recent drop on
331
00:21:06,516 --> 00:21:09,644
Shudder. I would say even only being halfway
332
00:21:09,692 --> 00:21:13,292
through, if you like Spanish movies, it's worth it. If you
333
00:21:13,316 --> 00:21:16,870
do not like Spanish movies, I don't recommend it. You got
334
00:21:16,910 --> 00:21:20,070
to be a real international Spanish movie
335
00:21:20,150 --> 00:21:23,270
fan. Connoisseur. Yes. To. To get into it.
336
00:21:23,310 --> 00:21:26,854
It is. It is very artsy. And. And you know, that's the
337
00:21:26,862 --> 00:21:29,942
thing with Shutter. They always pick up the variety. Right. They. You never know what
338
00:21:29,966 --> 00:21:33,542
you're going to see on the shutty. This next one I
339
00:21:33,566 --> 00:21:36,742
thought was absolutely hilarious. I knew you would love
340
00:21:36,766 --> 00:21:39,942
this one. Oh,
341
00:21:40,006 --> 00:21:42,502
man. Do you want me to bring it in or do you want to bring
342
00:21:42,526 --> 00:21:45,658
it in? You go ahead because I think I may have mentioned
343
00:21:45,674 --> 00:21:49,322
it. Did you already? I can't remember, but because I know I did watch
344
00:21:49,346 --> 00:21:52,842
it before our last recording. Okay. Okay. I may have forgotten to add
345
00:21:52,866 --> 00:21:56,430
it, but okay. I won't be long. It's not like it's deep, Rippy.
346
00:21:57,170 --> 00:22:01,018
It's about a kangaroo. It's actually
347
00:22:01,074 --> 00:22:04,730
just him in the kangaroo outfit. I was just good. No, no. Tim is.
348
00:22:04,850 --> 00:22:08,762
Tim is the protagonist fighting Rippy. Oh, yeah, Definitely punch him
349
00:22:08,786 --> 00:22:11,670
in the face. Yeah. Tim just punches wildlife in Australia.
350
00:22:12,490 --> 00:22:16,338
Rippy's gone rogue is the tagline. Young police
351
00:22:16,394 --> 00:22:19,682
officer Maddie is determined to live up to her deceased father's legacy,
352
00:22:19,746 --> 00:22:22,834
who ended up being a drunk. That was so funny. Anyway,
353
00:22:22,962 --> 00:22:26,626
her courage is put to the test when locals are found brutally ripped
354
00:22:26,658 --> 00:22:29,922
to shreds by a zombie kangaroo. As the
355
00:22:29,946 --> 00:22:33,522
undead beast leaves a trail of carnage, Maddie, with the help of her
356
00:22:33,626 --> 00:22:37,106
eccentric uncle, Uncle Schmitty, and resilient Aunt
357
00:22:37,138 --> 00:22:40,658
Donna. Donna must remark on must
358
00:22:40,714 --> 00:22:43,630
embark on a high stake battle to save the town.
359
00:22:44,010 --> 00:22:47,070
This movie is exactly what it sounds like.
360
00:22:47,930 --> 00:22:49,150
Oh, 100.
361
00:22:51,050 --> 00:22:54,274
A creature feature about a really angry
362
00:22:54,322 -->
00:22:57,314
kangaroo that looks like it's undead from the pet cemetery.
363
00:22:57,362 --> 00:23:01,106
It's like they were like, oh, pet cemetery, zombie pets.
364
00:23:01,138 --> 00:23:02,510
You know what we should do?
365
00:23:03,290 --> 00:23:07,084
Kangaroo. Yeah. I wouldn't say
366
00:23:07,092 --> 00:23:10,492
it's overly great, but I wouldn't say it's overly bad either. I had a lot
367
00:23:10,516 --> 00:23:13,356
of fun with it and I thought it was easy to watch.
368
00:23:13,428 --> 00:23:17,244
These cheesy little creature features are a good time.
369
00:23:17,332 --> 00:23:20,972
I. I enjoyed the kangaroo effects for
370
00:23:20,996 --> 00:23:23,852
what it was. I. I accepted it for what it was. I would say this
371
00:23:23,876 --> 00:23:27,660
is middle of the road, this. There's no Crackoon. But this
372
00:23:27,700 --> 00:23:31,676
is also. No, no, the Meg. Right. So know your expectations
373
00:23:31,788 --> 00:23:35,002
going into it. But Tim, you should
374
00:23:35,026 --> 00:23:37,514
watch this. I want to know if this is what your life is like.
375
00:23:37,602 --> 00:23:41,402
I think he did watch it. Did he? Okay. I think him and Luffy both
376
00:23:41,426 --> 00:23:45,082
have seen it. They haven't recorded it on letterbox. Didn't happen on
377
00:23:45,106 --> 00:23:48,586
letterbox. It didn't happen. That's all I know. Oh, yeah. I guess not,
378
00:23:48,658 --> 00:23:52,570
huh? Yeah. But yeah, this one was. The CGI was
379
00:23:52,690 --> 00:23:56,330
really bad for the kangaroo, but I think it kind of added to the
380
00:23:56,370 --> 00:24:00,058
charm of just being entertaining because I was just laughing throughout
381
00:24:00,074 --> 00:24:03,530
the entire thing. It was just so silly and starring or
382
00:24:03,570 --> 00:24:06,922
having Michael Bean in it. So I was like, oh, wow, he's actually gonna.
383
00:24:07,066 --> 00:24:10,682
I guess that makes sense now. His career hasn't really been much of anything lately,
384
00:24:10,746 --> 00:24:14,394
so. But yeah, in the ending when like towards
385
00:24:14,442 --> 00:24:17,770
the end, towards the credits, like, the question that Eric and I
386
00:24:17,810 --> 00:24:21,226
had were like, well, is it infecting anything else? And then the credits
387
00:24:21,258 --> 00:24:24,522
are all the. Ah, that's great. Who matters? Who cares?
388
00:24:24,586 --> 00:24:27,860
83 minutes they were in and out. Yeah, it was fun. It was
389
00:24:27,900 --> 00:24:32,084
great. Got in, got dirty, got in and out. I. I respect the game.
390
00:24:32,252 --> 00:24:34,372
So, yeah, if you want to watch this, I don't know if you want to
391
00:24:34,396 --> 00:24:37,684
watch something really stupid at the end of the year. That's a fun little creature
392
00:24:37,732 --> 00:24:41,540
feature. I would say this is. This is up your tree. If.
393
00:24:41,580 --> 00:24:44,660
If it's not like. If this does not sound like you would enjoy it,
394
00:24:44,700 --> 00:24:47,748
you could skip over it. It's on Apple TV, Google Play,
395
00:24:47,804 --> 00:24:51,332
YouTube, Microsoft Store, and Amazon Video for
396
00:24:51,356 --> 00:24:54,540
the US and again link. Know your rental price for this. Like,
397
00:24:54,580 --> 00:24:58,124
think about it. How much do you want cheesy CGI kangaroos
398
00:24:58,252 --> 00:25:02,844
shit up? Personally, I was here for it, but yeah,
399
00:25:02,892 --> 00:25:06,300
yeah, not everyone would be there for it, so. Yeah, exactly. I had
400
00:25:06,340 --> 00:25:09,804
fun with it. It was exactly what it was showing that it
401
00:25:09,812 --> 00:25:12,492
would be. Right. This is. You tell that we're getting to the end of the
402
00:25:12,516 --> 00:25:14,880
year. We're back to Scrape the Barrel,
403
00:25:16,740 --> 00:25:20,256
which this next Academy Award winning film you need to take discuss.
404
00:25:20,408 --> 00:25:23,648
Oh yeah, this one kind of falls in the line of Rippy.
405
00:25:23,824 --> 00:25:27,360
So this is. This is called Werewolf Santa with
406
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,552
a. It's got a
407
00:25:31,656 --> 00:25:35,152
71 minute run time. This can be found on tubi.
408
00:25:35,216 --> 00:25:38,656
Oh. So yeah, when I. Like I said, we've been watching a lot of Christmas
409
00:25:38,688 --> 00:25:41,820
horror films for free on Tubi. Right. For free on T.
410
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,680
And there's. We've been watching a lot of Christmas horror films. We Came across this
411
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,300
one. We're going, oh my God. Let's watch this.
412
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,780
The tagline is Seasons Eatings.
413
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,368
Lucy has a social media channel where she huns evidence of
414
00:25:58,424 --> 00:26:02,512
actual monsters. But it's not doing great with just a few viewers following her
415
00:26:02,536 --> 00:26:05,920
disappointing posts. Everything changes on Christmas Eve when
416
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,712
her camera witnesses Santa getting bitten by a werewolf before he
417
00:26:09,736 --> 00:26:12,980
turns the cancer lycanthrope himself.
418
00:26:13,930 --> 00:26:17,810
Jesus Christ. As werewolf Santa starts wreaking
419
00:26:17,890 --> 00:26:20,930
bloody havoc in their seaside town, Lucy and her
420
00:26:20,970 --> 00:26:24,034
bickering family set off on a madcap adventure.
421
00:26:24,082 --> 00:26:27,586
Armed with a rusty skate and a vague understanding
422
00:26:27,618 --> 00:26:30,978
of how to kill werewolves gained from her collection of horror comics.
423
00:26:31,074 --> 00:26:34,310
The me the Beast must die to save Christmas.
424
00:26:35,370 --> 00:26:38,658
This. This is where Rob's gonna. Rob the hump is gonna
425
00:26:38,674 --> 00:26:42,078
give us cause letterbox says 2023. I looked
426
00:26:42,094 --> 00:26:45,630
it up and I think I had a Release like on December 30th
427
00:26:45,710 --> 00:26:46,650
last year.
428
00:26:49,430 --> 00:26:52,686
I'm throwing this in 2024. It just, it's not. I don't
429
00:26:52,718 --> 00:26:56,510
think it's going to get any of my awards but this one is
430
00:26:56,630 --> 00:26:59,790
exactly how you hear it. Werewolf Santa. It is
431
00:26:59,830 --> 00:27:03,390
dumb, but it is fun. It is low budget. It's got a short
432
00:27:03,430 --> 00:27:07,282
runtime so it doesn't overstay its welcome. It's got
433
00:27:07,386 --> 00:27:10,898
pretty good werewolf effect of like Santa.
434
00:27:11,074 --> 00:27:14,690
Werewolf Santa in a Santa outfit. He looks more like
435
00:27:14,730 --> 00:27:18,530
the, I would say like a lower budget version of the Wolfman.
436
00:27:18,610 --> 00:27:22,130
Okay. So it's. But like you don't see much, you don't see any
437
00:27:22,170 --> 00:27:25,778
transformation, you don't see any kills on screen. It all kind of happens off
438
00:27:25,834 --> 00:27:29,170
screen. Okay. Because obviously low budget. But yeah,
439
00:27:29,250 --> 00:27:32,850
this was just done with a. They knew what they were making and they just
440
00:27:32,890 --> 00:27:36,128
had fun with it and I was here for it. I was laughing,
441
00:27:36,224 --> 00:27:40,336
I was just smiling. It was just a fun little lowbudget horror Christmas
442
00:27:40,368 --> 00:27:43,472
film that just made like I was like okay, there can be
443
00:27:43,496 --> 00:27:47,460
some good Christmas horror films out there. Basically like Friday Nightmares.
444
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,776
We're just exactly fan a little low budget podcast.
445
00:27:51,888 --> 00:27:55,552
Just. Just watches shitty movies. Movies about werewolf Santa and
446
00:27:55,576 --> 00:27:58,800
killer kangaroos. That's what we bring here on Friday Nightmares.
447
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:03,152
Exactly. We bring you the primo content and. Then some like
448
00:28:03,256 --> 00:28:06,752
tiff films that are random to throw in there just so we can look a
449
00:28:06,776 --> 00:28:10,096
little high trash. Oh, sorry,
450
00:28:10,128 --> 00:28:14,080
where's available this Tubi? This is. Yeah, this is available to stream on
451
00:28:14,120 --> 00:28:17,360
Tubi and it looks like Amazon Prime. Okay. And it can be
452
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,864
bought or rented on Google Play, Amazon Video and Apple tv.
453
00:28:20,992 --> 00:28:24,416
And yeah, I'd say give this A watch, if you're into, like, the low budget
454
00:28:24,528 --> 00:28:27,360
like this does a better werewolf than half the, like,
455
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,484
werewolf movies that have came out over the last couple of years. Well, hey,
456
00:28:30,532 --> 00:28:33,284
you know what? They got that going for them then. Good for them. Good for
457
00:28:33,292 --> 00:28:36,900
you, Werewolf Santa. Good for you. Don't. Don't let anyone put
458
00:28:36,940 --> 00:28:40,820
you down for your transitions. You know, sometimes we
459
00:28:40,860 --> 00:28:43,480
bring a lot of trash here on Friday. Nightmares.
460
00:28:43,900 --> 00:28:47,380
And, you know, sometimes we watch a movie
461
00:28:47,460 --> 00:28:51,300
and it's a remake. And I, at least with the
462
00:28:51,340 --> 00:28:55,178
Strangers remake that came out this year, I got what was going on.
463
00:28:55,284 --> 00:28:59,262
Not a great movie, but I got what was going on. I watched Street Trash
464
00:28:59,326 --> 00:29:03,210
2024 and I'm still not sure what the point of the movie was.
465
00:29:03,670 --> 00:29:07,486
And I failed you because I was. Because you need me to watch it to
466
00:29:07,558 --> 00:29:10,910
hopefully explain it to you. I have not got to it yet. I am going
467
00:29:10,950 --> 00:29:14,366
to watch it and I will see if I can help. I did hear this
468
00:29:14,438 --> 00:29:18,222
is also considered a sequel to the original. Not as
469
00:29:18,246 --> 00:29:21,566
much a remake. Okay, so maybe that could be part of the
470
00:29:21,638 --> 00:29:25,004
questioning. Like, maybe just don't remember a lot of what happened the original.
471
00:29:25,052 --> 00:29:29,036
Because, I mean, honestly, this may piss off some listeners. I can't
472
00:29:29,068 --> 00:29:32,348
really stand the original Street. Trash either, can I?
473
00:29:32,484 --> 00:29:35,852
I like the effects, but that's about it. I don't need to be
474
00:29:35,876 --> 00:29:39,180
seeing, like, rapey crap with bums and things
475
00:29:39,220 --> 00:29:41,868
like that that are going on in this movie. And the way it was,
476
00:29:41,924 --> 00:29:45,500
the way it was handled, I'm like, not for me. So they've cut that out.
477
00:29:45,540 --> 00:29:48,972
I'll give them credit. They've. They've definitely 2024 eyes
478
00:29:49,036 --> 00:29:52,630
it. The tag is Melt the Rich. A group
479
00:29:52,670 --> 00:29:56,054
of homeless misfits must fight for survival when they discover
480
00:29:56,102 --> 00:29:59,974
a plot to exterminate every homeless person in the city. A remake of
481
00:29:59,982 --> 00:30:03,558
the 1987 cult classic is what it says here on Letterbox.
482
00:30:03,734 --> 00:30:06,518
I don't know. I think you're probably right. I have no fucking idea. So here's
483
00:30:06,534 --> 00:30:09,974
the good news. It wasn't just me who didn't get it. Tim Davis
484
00:30:10,022 --> 00:30:13,350
from Horror for Dummies or Dummies of Horror. Oh, wait,
485
00:30:13,430 --> 00:30:16,130
Horror for Dummies. Yeah, Horror for Dummies. Right?
486
00:30:17,150 --> 00:30:20,850
Is it Dummy to Horror, right? Yeah, that's his old name here. Yeah,
487
00:30:21,030 --> 00:30:24,426
he gave it two stars. This was dumb. I'm sorry. It didn't
488
00:30:24,458 --> 00:30:27,978
work for me at all. It's just dumb humor that I don't connect with.
489
00:30:28,034 --> 00:30:31,322
Some practical effects are cool and the score was neat, but the consistent
490
00:30:31,386 --> 00:30:34,682
jokes made it
look like they were trying way too hard. Just like me trying
491
00:30:34,706 --> 00:30:38,394
to hit on Tim. So yeah, this. That sums
492
00:30:38,442 --> 00:30:40,990
it up. And then Matt Wood,
493
00:30:43,730 --> 00:30:46,938
I listened to his DJ set the other day. It was really good. Oh,
494
00:30:46,954 --> 00:30:50,392
nice. Yeah, I'm a friend. That's why I'm a friend too. I just sent
495
00:30:50,416 --> 00:30:53,208
him a friend request on the PlayStation. Oh, wow.
496
00:30:53,384 --> 00:30:57,848
Yeah. Yeah. Even across oceans, bringing people together.
497
00:30:57,984 --> 00:31:00,460
Him and I are docking across the ocean.
498
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,240
Yeah. This didn't hit with me, even though I was looking forward to it.
499
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,392
The multi color gore and special effects are cool. I like the score.
500
00:31:08,536 --> 00:31:11,944
However, aside, the jokes didn't land for me. The chat in between was all a
501
00:31:11,952 --> 00:31:15,112
bit dull. And there's some types I couldn't understand what they were saying due to
502
00:31:15,136 --> 00:31:19,012
the South African dialect. I won't give
503
00:31:19,036 --> 00:31:22,724
his like rating because he always does really colorful, funny ones that yeah
504
00:31:22,772 --> 00:31:26,100
spoil. But I'm. I'm with these two. They gave it
505
00:31:26,140 --> 00:31:29,652
two stars, two and a half. I think two stars is fair. I think
506
00:31:29,676 --> 00:31:33,364
the special effects in this movie are great. The practical effects are
507
00:31:33,452 --> 00:31:36,692
awesome. I will give that. There were some characters
508
00:31:36,756 --> 00:31:40,372
that were. Did have a couple of funny jokes, but overall I found
509
00:31:40,396 --> 00:31:44,262
the movie boring. I didn't really understand the point of
510
00:31:44,286 --> 00:31:46,902
it. I. I felt like it was.
511
00:31:47,006 --> 00:31:50,358
The acting was very wooden and not really
512
00:31:50,414 --> 00:31:54,502
enjoyable. And I don't really get why this was remade sequel,
513
00:31:54,566 --> 00:31:58,102
whatever it is, which is going to be similar to something we
514
00:31:58,126 --> 00:32:01,382
talk after this. I feel like this was the year of
515
00:32:01,406 --> 00:32:05,110
unnecessary sequels and remakes. Like, you know
516
00:32:05,150 --> 00:32:08,666
what I mean? And I'm kind of there, I'll say. Because yeah, there's quite
517
00:32:08,698 --> 00:32:11,450
a few this year. Right. And it's. And again, like, hey man,
518
00:32:11,490 --> 00:32:14,666
enjoy what you enjoy. Like, you know, but I just really
519
00:32:14,738 --> 00:32:18,234
don't get the purpose of remaking this. And let's just get out like
520
00:32:18,322 --> 00:32:22,030
the really gross sexual assault shit from the first one. But Anyway,
521
00:32:22,370 --> 00:32:26,250
this is 85 minutes long. It's available on all the renting
522
00:32:26,330 --> 00:32:29,930
services, Apple TV,
Google Play, YouTube, Amazon. I would say
523
00:32:29,970 --> 00:32:33,722
watch this. If for some reason you really like the first one and you
524
00:32:33,746 --> 00:32:37,344
want to see the second one or the, or the remake or the sequel,
525
00:32:37,392 --> 00:32:40,944
whatever it is, that would be about it. I would say
526
00:32:40,952 --> 00:32:43,872
if you're like me and you were lukewarm on the first one or didn't like
527
00:32:43,896 --> 00:32:47,072
it, I don't know if you really. This is gonna. I was hoping this was
528
00:32:47,096 --> 00:32:50,720
gonna make me like it and. Right. And it did not. It did not
529
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,000
do that. No, that's. That's the kind of the consensus I've been getting
530
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,392
from it too. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, I'll bring in the next one because I
531
00:32:57,416 --> 00:33:00,300
watched this last night and I know you've seen it. Yes, I have.
532
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,744
No, I think this is what you were hinting at with unnecessary.
533
00:33:03,872 --> 00:33:07,308
Yeah, we'll get into that. Yeah. But this one
534
00:33:07,364 --> 00:33:11,180
is smile two. 127 minute run
535
00:33:11,220 --> 00:33:14,924
time. And it's tagline is it's the last thing you'll
536
00:33:14,972 --> 00:33:17,644
see. About to embark on a new world tour,
537
00:33:17,732 --> 00:33:20,940
global pop sensation Sky Riley begins experiencing
538
00:33:21,020 --> 00:33:24,412
increasingly terrifying and inexplicable events.
539
00:33:24,476 --> 00:33:27,740
Overwhelmed by the escalating horrors and the pressures of fame,
540
00:33:27,820 --> 00:33:31,700
sky is forced to face her dark past. Regained control over life
541
00:33:31,740 --> 00:33:35,620
before it spirals out of control. That is a weird synopsis to not
542
00:33:35,660 --> 00:33:39,204
even like if someone did not know this was Smile 2,
543
00:33:39,292 --> 00:33:43,156
that synopsis doesn't tell you anything about it being a sequel. Right? That's weird.
544
00:33:43,268 --> 00:33:46,612
But yeah, I absolutely loved the
545
00:33:46,636 --> 00:33:49,040
first movie. It was in my top 10 that year.
546
00:33:49,420 --> 00:33:52,692
I think I went into it expecting it to be just kind
547
00:33:52,716 --> 00:33:56,388
of mediocre and was kind of blown away by the
548
00:33:56,524 --> 00:33:59,702
way they covered the trauma and the curse and
549
00:33:59,726 --> 00:34:03,174
all this stuff that was involved in this on the lore building up to this
550
00:34:03,342 --> 00:34:06,470
Smile Demon. And so I was, I was looking forward to
551
00:34:06,510 --> 00:34:09,606
seeing this one because I'm like, oh, famous pop star.
552
00:34:09,678 --> 00:34:12,934
Which I called exactly how it was gonna end. I knew
553
00:34:12,982 --> 00:34:16,182
it was gonna end the way it did, but I was like,
554
00:34:16,206 --> 00:34:19,974
oh, pop star. Getting the Smile curse put upon her.
555
00:34:20,062 --> 00:34:23,174
Okay, this could be really interesting. And for the most part, yeah,
556
00:34:23,222 --> 00:34:26,426
it was a very interesting movie. Very entertaining,
557
00:34:26,458 --> 00:34:29,786
some really good gore and the moments that it showed gore.
558
00:34:29,978 --> 00:34:33,194
The two hour and nine minute run time,
559
00:34:33,282 --> 00:34:36,890
that was my bit much. Yeah. And the
560
00:34:36,930 --> 00:34:40,842
biggest gripe I really had about this because I thought everybody's acting was
561
00:34:40,866 --> 00:34:44,842
great, thought the story was intriguing. My biggest gripe though is
562
00:34:44,946 --> 00:34:48,186
this did not build on the lore of the Smile Demon
563
00:34:48,218 --> 00:34:51,562
at all. Like he. I figured, you know, it's a sequel, figured it would
564
00:34:51,586 --> 00:34:55,494
have been more, a little bit more lore added, but they didn't
565
00:34:55,542 --> 00:34:59,270
add anything new to it. It was more of
566
00:34:59,390 --> 00:35:03,030
the same, but with a pop star instead of therapist.
567
00:35:03,110 --> 00:35:06,934
Yeah, but like I think what's her name?
568
00:35:07,102 --> 00:35:10,518
Naomi Scott. Yes, Naomi Scott. I thought she did an amazing job
569
00:35:10,574 --> 00:35:14,950
as like a Lady Gaga like style pop star. Totally thought
570
00:35:14,990 --> 00:35:18,070
she was amazing in it. And yeah, like I still really enjoyed it,
571
00:35:18,110 --> 00:35:22,022
but it's. I don't think where Smile one was like instantly
572
00:35:22,086 --> 00:35:25,376
top ten. One of my favorite movies of that year. This will probably
573
00:35:25,408 --> 00:35:28,704
not make my top 10. It missed the mark by just being a
574
00:35:28,712 --> 00:35:32,560
little too long and not really adding anything new to the
575
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:36,272
lore of the Smile Demon and just kind of giving me more of the same.
576
00:35:36,376 --> 00:35:40,544
And then the kind of reveal when she's on
577
00:35:40,632 --> 00:35:44,300
stage at the end pissed me off. Yeah. Yeah, I agree.
578
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,664
I. I think you echoed exactly what I thought. 1. I thought the filming of
579
00:35:47,672 --> 00:35:50,500
this was incredible. I thought Naomi Scott was incredible.
580
00:35:51,590 --> 00:35:55,454
But I felt like the first one. The beginning of this movie
581
00:35:55,502 --> 00:35:58,782
tries to loosely tie in the end of the first. Yes. In a
582
00:35:58,806 --> 00:36:02,398
very silly way, to be quite honest.
583
00:36:02,574 --> 00:36:05,966
And I'm gonna give somewhat of a spoiler here. So people
584
00:36:06,038 --> 00:36:09,614
fast forward if you need to for the next minute. So my. My thing is
585
00:36:09,702 --> 00:36:12,782
she, she, you know, this is spoiler. Again, fast forward a
586
00:36:12,806 --> 00:36:16,846
minute if you have not seen this movie. So she has a traumatic event
587
00:36:16,918 --> 00:36:20,450
happened to her earlier
in her life. How did the demon not find
588
00:36:20,490 --> 00:36:24,386
her earlier? The reason why she's has some of the issues she has
589
00:36:24,458 --> 00:36:28,114
is because of the things she witnessed which would have been traumatic. So why didn't
590
00:36:28,162 --> 00:36:31,762
it find her then? See what I'm saying? Well, that's not kind of how the
591
00:36:31,786 --> 00:36:35,586
demon works though. It's whoever witnesses
592
00:36:35,618 --> 00:36:38,930
them getting killed. So it's not anybody that witnesses any kind of trauma.
593
00:36:39,010 --> 00:36:42,610
It's just the. Okay, that specific trauma. It's kind of like it
594
00:36:42,650 --> 00:36:46,306
follows. Yes, it follows in Ringu where it's like the person
595
00:36:46,378 --> 00:36:50,034
that is infected with the Smile Demon parasite or whatever you want to call it,
596
00:36:50,202 --> 00:36:53,490
when they kill themselves, they got to kill them. They're being forced to kill themselves
597
00:36:53,570 --> 00:36:56,818
in front of somebody. Got it. And that person that
598
00:36:56,874 --> 00:37:00,610
sees that happening is now cursed. And it's
599
00:37:01,110 --> 00:37:04,750
a big situation. Okay. Yes. Spoiler part ended. So I.
600
00:37:05,610 --> 00:37:08,930
Yeah, like, I think my thoughts are right with you, Scotty. I think the two
601
00:37:08,970 --> 00:37:12,242
hour runtime was a little much. I don't know why they thought that was
602
00:37:12,266 --> 00:37:15,762
needed. It seems to be the new way with horror films. There's so
603
00:37:15,786 --> 00:37:19,154
many two hours, something runtime. Yeah. And like there's some movies where you
604
00:37:19,162 --> 00:37:21,602
can get away with that. And then there's other ones where I'm like, this is
605
00:37:21,626 --> 00:37:25,230
an hour and a half film. This is not a. A two hour film.
606
00:37:26,330 --> 00:37:29,906
Like Matt. Matt said it decently here. Yeah, this was decent,
607
00:37:29,938 --> 00:37:32,642
but not as good as the first one. I thought it did its own thing
608
00:37:32,666 --> 00:37:36,002
in new direction, which was interesting. I just don't think it had
609
00:37:36,026 --> 00:37:39,438
the same impact as the first. And I didn't find it scary either.
610
00:37:39,634 --> 00:37:43,030
Yeah, well, put together and well act. And I agree. And I,
611
00:37:43,070 --> 00:37:45,910
and I think the thing is they relied a lot on jump scares here.
612
00:37:46,030 --> 00:37:49,574
Like a lot. That's actually funny because Connor was,
613
00:37:49,662 --> 00:37:52,838
Connor wasn't watching it but he was in the kitchen making something to eat
614
00:37:52,854 --> 00:37:56,582
and he kept hearing the jump scare noise
615
00:37:56,646 --> 00:38:00,582
happening. He's going, good God. He's like, I've been in here for three minutes,
616
00:38:00,646 --> 00:38:03,718
three minutes. I've heard the jump scare noise six different times
617
00:38:03,774 --> 00:38:07,630
already. I'm like, yeah, like that's relying way
618
00:38:07,670 --> 00:38:10,382
too much on that. But hey, you know what? Good acting,
619
00:38:10,446 --> 00:38:14,174
interesting story. Not the worst film I've seen this year. Not the
620
00:38:14,182 --> 00:38:17,790
worst sequel I've seen this year. So yeah, sorry, I still
621
00:38:17,830 --> 00:38:21,534
Give this an 8 out of 10. It's still good but it's just nowhere near
622
00:38:21,622 --> 00:38:24,734
the level of the first one for me which was after a
623
00:38:24,742 --> 00:38:27,310
couple re watches has become a 10 out of 10 for me. I loved it.
624
00:38:27,350 --> 00:38:31,086
Yeah, agreed. I'm probably more at a seven and that's fine. Like it's
625
00:38:31,118 --> 00:38:34,352
still decent if people want to watch it. It is available on Apple TV,
626
00:38:34,416 --> 00:38:37,840
Google Play, Amazon Video, YouTube and again
627
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,576
it's. If you like the first one and you would like that kind of theme,
628
00:38:40,608 --> 00:38:43,980
a movie, then I think you'll enjoy this. It's worth whatever rental you pay.
629
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:48,384
But I haven't seen anyone yet go way better than the first one.
630
00:38:48,472 --> 00:38:52,480
So know that going into it and set your expectations
631
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:56,496
accordingly. Now, have you seen this gem?
632
00:38:56,688 --> 00:39:00,032
New and it sounds like. I'm glad I missed it because
633
00:39:00,056 --> 00:39:03,412
I think Tim Davis watched it and talked about it and,
634
00:39:03,576 --> 00:39:07,340
and you know, he's our shark expert for our little group.
635
00:39:07,460 --> 00:39:10,620
He is so Shark Warning 2024 After 20 years,
636
00:39:10,660 --> 00:39:13,772
a man returns to the town where his brother was killed by a shark.
637
00:39:13,916 --> 00:39:17,052
When it resurfaces and kills again, the man goes on a mission to hunt down
638
00:39:17,076 --> 00:39:20,572
the predator, making unlikely alliances along the way in order to stop it once
639
00:39:20,596 --> 00:39:23,660
and for all. The acting in is in. This is painful.
640
00:39:23,740 --> 00:39:27,132
It's very painful. And sitting at a 94
641
00:39:27,156 --> 00:39:30,620
minute runtime. I will say that it focuses on the shark story. Like it,
642
00:39:30,660 --> 00:39:34,736
it, it's based around shark. So Tim said the Asylums
643
00:39:34,768 --> 00:39:38,608
version of Jaws and I think that that's pretty much funny. I think that's very
644
00:39:38,664 --> 00:39:42,480
complimentary to compare it to Jaws more than this film
645
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:46,496
deserves. It's probably one of the worst shark movies
646
00:39:46,528 --> 00:39:50,112
that came out this year. I, I think I even enjoy the
647
00:39:50,136 --> 00:39:53,872
Chicks on the Boat a little bit more because at least like it kind of
648
00:39:53,896 --> 00:39:57,432
like had some anticipation to it and a
little bit of
649
00:39:57,456 --> 00:40:01,160
dread. This didn't have anything right. But I watch
650
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,264
these movies because I need a worse of for the other podcasts that I
651
00:40:04,272 --> 00:40:08,072
do. And I look forward to torturing the ladies with something. And this may
652
00:40:08,096 --> 00:40:11,656
be a contender. So we'll see. Because it's pretty.
653
00:40:11,688 --> 00:40:14,792
Cheese. Cheese. And I love it when you. I love it when
654
00:40:14,816 --> 00:40:18,312
you bring your worst of to the table for them ladies because you put them
655
00:40:18,336 --> 00:40:21,880
through hell. I do. Well, they'll be like, oh, worst one
656
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,616
is like some theater release. I'm like, you haven't seen worse one.
657
00:40:25,688 --> 00:40:29,140
Yes. Though I may choose the Mousetrap
658
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,104
because I do think it's hilarious. So, yeah.
659
00:40:33,152 --> 00:40:36,384
Shark warning. I don't know. My warning is you could skip it unless
660
00:40:36,432 --> 00:40:40,320
you're really, really into shark films. It is available on Apple tv,
661
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,680
Google Play, Microsoft Store. I don't know, man. If you're really
662
00:40:43,720 --> 00:40:47,584
into this shit, rent it. If not, I would say skip over that bad boy.
663
00:40:47,712 --> 00:40:50,592
Now. Have you seen this other one? This is one another one you told me
664
00:40:50,616 --> 00:40:53,662
I have to watch. Have not got to it. Okay. So this was recommended
665
00:40:53,726 --> 00:40:57,598
to me from Matt woods because he knows of my. My love
666
00:40:57,654 --> 00:41:01,230
for a certain part that men have attached to them. It's their
667
00:41:01,270 --> 00:41:04,782
brains. I. I really love a good personality in a
668
00:41:04,806 --> 00:41:08,142
man. Scott knows that I'm always talking about how personalities are
669
00:41:08,166 --> 00:41:11,678
the most important thing to me. Oh, 100 just like to ride those
670
00:41:11,734 --> 00:41:15,646
personalities, you know? This movie
671
00:41:15,678 --> 00:41:18,370
is called Members Club and it's very British.
672
00:41:19,330 --> 00:41:23,146
Old members welcome, wet dreams and middle age.
673
00:41:23,298 --> 00:41:26,682
Middle aged male strip group takes one last gig at
674
00:41:26,706 --> 00:41:30,266
a rural working men's club only to discover
675
00:41:30,458 --> 00:41:33,802
that they are to become sacrificial in a
676
00:41:33,826 --> 00:41:37,306
plot to raise somebody. This movie
677
00:41:37,338 --> 00:41:41,418
is really fucking funny. I. I had a really good
678
00:41:41,474 --> 00:41:44,842
time with this film. It's. It's nothing
679
00:41:44,906 --> 00:41:49,018
over the top or special. It has the occasional funny parts
680
00:41:49,034 --> 00:41:52,488
in it, but it's just. It's these old
681
00:41:52,544 --> 00:41:55,832
guys. It's like. It's like the full Monty horror film. That's the best way to
682
00:41:55,856 --> 00:41:59,160
describe it. And it doesn't take itself seriously.
683
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:03,480
It's meant to be silly. The ending
684
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:07,304
is Chef's kiss. There's a scene at the end that is just so funny.
685
00:42:07,352 --> 00:42:10,392
I can't wait for you to watch it, Scott, because you're gonna die.
686
00:42:10,456 --> 00:42:14,328
Like there's a scene that I know when you get to it that you're gonna
687
00:42:14,344 --> 00:42:17,748
be playing, like of course. Like just. It's funny. It's. It's just
688
00:42:17,824 --> 00:42:21,164
silly, silly, silly. I can't wait yeah,
689
00:42:21,212 --> 00:42:24,732
it's. It's not really streaming anywhere. Hopefully it drops before the
690
00:42:24,756 --> 00:42:26,800
end of the year. We did watch a screener.
691
00:42:27,620 --> 00:42:30,796
It. It has a bunch of like British soap stars
692
00:42:30,828 --> 00:42:34,460
in it and it's great. And it's 90 minutes. Thank you for
693
00:42:34,500 --> 00:42:37,756
being 90 minutes as a horror film and not dragging
694
00:42:37,788 --> 00:42:41,484
this out for right hours on end. It has a
695
00:42:41,492 --> 00:42:45,014
3.2 star rating and I 10 out
696
00:42:45,022 --> 00:42:48,534
of 10 recommend. You do see a lot of penis
697
00:42:48,582 --> 00:42:51,606
in this film, which. Oh, they hang dong. Nice. Oh, yeah,
698
00:42:51,638 --> 00:42:54,998
there's a lot of dongs, which, you know, I was here for it.
699
00:42:55,134 --> 00:42:58,230
That's why Matt recommended it. He's like, Heather, there's a lot of what you
700
00:42:58,270 --> 00:43:02,070
like in this film. And Matt knows me. Matt knows.
701
00:43:02,230 --> 00:43:05,766
And I appreciate that. Matt. It is. It is what I like. It's true.
702
00:43:05,798 --> 00:43:08,406
I think all our listeners know at this point. I know,
703
00:43:08,478 --> 00:43:11,936
right? You know, if you don't, you haven't
704
00:43:11,968 --> 00:43:15,296
been listening, right? We like what we like, man. And I.
705
00:43:15,448 --> 00:43:18,960
There's certain things, let's just say that I enjoy the finer things in life and
706
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,180
that's one of the finer things. So.
707
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,496
So yeah, I would say it's worth it if, if you get access
708
00:43:26,568 --> 00:43:29,792
to this and you want something short, swim, simple. But you
709
00:43:29,816 --> 00:43:32,608
know, be aware if you're watching this with kids, I'm thinking about you, Tim.
710
00:43:32,664 --> 00:43:35,472
Like, there is dong in it. There's a lot of dong in it. So I
711
00:43:35,496 --> 00:43:39,278
don't know. And maybe this is something to watch around the kids, but Jaleesa
712
00:43:39,294 --> 00:43:42,734
might be interested. You know, she might want to see some dong.
713
00:43:42,782 --> 00:43:46,158
I don't know. I'm sure she's also a connoisseur as well. So.
714
00:43:46,294 -->
00:43:49,934
Yeah, you would think. You would think, right? And now let's
715
00:43:49,982 --> 00:43:52,910
bring in the big. The big bang.
716
00:43:53,070 --> 00:43:57,118
Yes. So we were lucky enough to
717
00:43:57,254 --> 00:44:00,862
have access to this documentary that I
718
00:44:00,886 --> 00:44:04,510
don't believe is officially out yet. I think think
719
00:44:04,630 --> 00:44:08,366
it's out to the people who supported
720
00:44:08,398 --> 00:44:12,494
it through Kickstarter, Indiegogo or wherever it was. But this is
721
00:44:12,662 --> 00:44:14,254
In Search of Darkness,
722
00:44:14,382 --> 00:44:17,450
1990-1994.
723
00:44:18,070 --> 00:44:21,166
It's 383 minute runtime.
724
00:44:21,278 --> 00:44:24,798
So it's a good, I think six hours. If I was.
725
00:44:24,854 --> 00:44:28,574
Yeah, about six hours. Six hours. And it's tagline,
726
00:44:28,622 --> 00:44:31,506
a journey into iconic 90s horror film icons.
727
00:44:31,538 --> 00:44:35,490
Genre experts share observations, experiences and analysis to help
728
00:44:35,610 --> 00:44:39,346
reframe, deconstruct and recontextualize the lost decade
729
00:44:39,378 --> 00:44:43,378
of horror, the 1990s. So, yep, this just covers
730
00:44:43,474 --> 00:44:47,234
just like all the other In Search of Darkness. These. This covers
731
00:44:47,282 --> 00:44:50,610
1990 to 1994 and
732
00:44:50,730 --> 00:44:55,058
covers a lot of well known and very
733
00:44:55,114 --> 00:44:59,188
well hidden gems and once again made me wax
734
00:44:59,284 --> 00:45:02,500
nostalgic on a lot of these movies and made me
735
00:45:02,540 --> 00:45:05,924
go, shit, I need to start writing down a list of movies I need to
736
00:45:05,932 --> 00:45:09,156
watch from this decade that I have not seen before. You guys have just brought
737
00:45:09,188 --> 00:45:12,516
up because. Holy shit. Yeah. Like this brought
738
00:45:12,548 --> 00:45:16,052
back a lot of just nostalgic feelings that I just not have not had in
739
00:45:16,076 --> 00:45:19,332
a while because of movies I just forgot about. Right. There was a lot on
740
00:45:19,356 --> 00:45:22,692
here that I had never even really heard of. A lot
741
00:45:22,716 --> 00:45:26,292
of straight to video that I was not familiar with, which is weird for a
742
00:45:26,316 --> 00:45:28,580
premium podcaster such as myself and you,
743
00:45:28,620 --> 00:45:31,952
Scotty. Um, but this is a great doc.
744
00:45:32,016 --> 00:45:35,936
It's. I watched it over a couple of nights and I love.
745
00:45:36,088 --> 00:45:39,856
I just think the In Search of Darkness. I've also watched In Search
746
00:45:39,888 --> 00:45:43,472
of the Future. Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow as well. And I just think
747
00:45:43,496 --> 00:45:46,672
these filmmakers really hit it out of the park when it comes
748
00:45:46,696 --> 00:45:50,800
to documentaries. Yeah, I, I also watched the Chucky doc
749
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:54,736
as well. I still need to see that. It's. It's very good as well.
750
00:45:54,808 --> 00:45:58,422
I really enjoyed that too. I just, just. I just
751
00:45:58,446 --> 00:46:02,630
think these documentaries are such a nice way to explore,
752
00:46:02,790 --> 00:46:05,814
you know, in a Child's play. One things you didn't know about Child's Play franchise.
753
00:46:05,862 --> 00:46:09,810
But In Search of Darkness to really pull out movies that perhaps you
754
00:46:10,510 --> 00:46:14,038
aren't aware of or don't realize the impact that they had. They brought
755
00:46:14,054 --> 00:46:17,974
up two Nightmare on Elm street movies in this. They brought up the
756
00:46:18,062 --> 00:46:22,038
Freddy's Dead and the New Nightmare. And I really do think the New Nightmare doesn't
757
00:46:22,054 --> 00:46:25,286
get as much love as it should. I think the New Nightmare is actually quite
758
00:46:25,318 --> 00:46:28,534
clever. It's a really, really good film. And it was just. I mean,
759
00:46:28,542 --> 00:46:31,734
it's. It did scream before Scream, right? Yeah, and it
760
00:46:31,742 --> 00:46:35,110
did. It did. So, yeah, I, I recommend this
761
00:46:35,150 --> 00:46:38,486
when it drops. If you liked the other ones, there's no reason why you won't
762
00:46:38,518 --> 00:46:41,830
like this. And it's great. You can watch it over a
763
00:46:41,870 --> 00:46:44,790
series of nights or days. And it's a great way to kind of end off
764
00:46:44,830 --> 00:46:48,886
the year. It's a nice. Oh, a nice 100 chef's kiss to the year.
765
00:46:49,038 --> 00:46:53,046
Yeah. Because this even covered a lot of the Stephen King TV movie
766
00:46:53,078 --> 00:46:56,704
adaptations, which that has kickstarted a new marathon. Erica and
767
00:46:56,712 --> 00:47:00,096
I are going to be starting in that Stephen King movie adaptation or
768
00:47:00,168 --> 00:47:03,312
Stephen King adaptations, whether it be movies or TV
769
00:47:03,376 --> 00:47:06,688
movies. We're gonna watch all the ones that we have not seen in a very
770
00:47:06,744 --> 00:47:10,480
long time and kind of starting from the beginning and working our way up and
771
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:14,192
it's gonna be a long marathon because there's a lot of Stephen King films.
772
00:47:14,256 --> 00:47:18,240
But that thanks to In Search of Darkness. That's why we got
773
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,992
into it and I think we might eventually do a Full moon one as well
774
00:47:21,016 --> 00:47:24,292
because they covered a lot of of Full moon movies as well in that In
775
00:47:24,316 --> 00:47:27,492
Search of Darkness. And that's where I learned a lot about Erica,
776
00:47:27,556 --> 00:47:31,460
who apparently was a Full moon girl growing up.
777
00:47:31,500 --> 00:47:34,884
Because she's like, she's like, oh yeah, this movie is amazing. She's like.
778
00:47:34,892 --> 00:47:38,004
And I was like, I've never even heard of this one. And she was talking
779
00:47:38,052
--> 00:47:41,604
all this love about this. I'm going, okay, this, this is a
780
00:47:41,692 --> 00:47:45,060
whole new light upon you that I did not see before. Like, I thought
781
00:47:45,100 --> 00:47:48,228
I was a premium podcaster. Erica, know your role.
782
00:47:48,284 --> 00:47:51,762
Go back and make brownies. Hell no. I ain't saying that.
783
00:47:51,786 --> 00:47:55,234
She. She'd kick my ass. Yeah, she probably. Yes, you should be. So I
784
00:47:55,242 --> 00:47:58,130
might like it though. That's part of the role play, right, so.
785
00:47:58,170 --> 00:48:01,522
Exactly right. Well, I think again, thank you
786
00:48:01,546 --> 00:48:05,346
for drop. Hopefully this drops this year. Thank you everyone. That crowd funded
787
00:48:05,378 --> 00:48:08,930
it and supported it. I look forward to 95
788
00:48:09,050 --> 00:48:12,162
to 2000 if that's what they do. I think it's.
789
00:48:12,226 --> 00:48:14,930
I don't know, they just nailed these docs and I look forward to them doing
790
00:48:14,970 --> 00:48:18,428
more of it. We already mentioned the two other films that we're
791
00:48:18,444 --> 00:48:21,052
looking at watching towards the end of the year and I don't know, maybe some
792
00:48:21,076 --> 00:48:24,252
other like trash films that we watch, but I don't think there's going to be
793
00:48:24,276 --> 00:48:27,244
anything else that's really going to jump out to our fancy by the end of
794
00:48:27,252 --> 00:48:30,332
the year. Yeah, I don't think so either. And yeah, because like I say,
795
00:48:30,356 --> 00:48:33,132
I'm going to be kind of just playing catch up on the few that I
796
00:48:33,156 --> 00:48:37,132
missed that are kind of more highly regarded just to kind of
797
00:48:37,236 --> 00:48:40,924
fill out my list and help me get kind of a better idea
798
00:48:40,972 --> 00:48:44,638
of what my top 10 and awards will be. Yeah, yeah,
799
00:48:44,814 --> 00:48:48,494
we shall see. We'll see about that. But yeah, so, so we'll do other watches.
800
00:48:48,542 --> 00:48:52,050
So I put other watches because this kind of falls into older or newer.
801
00:48:52,630 --> 00:48:56,462
I was watching on Netflix, Terror Tuesday Extreme. I think it's the same
802
00:48:56,566 --> 00:49:00,734
people that made the doc, the Thai doc Extreme. So it's
803
00:49:00,782 --> 00:49:04,046
basically 45 minute episodes of Thai
804
00:49:04,158 --> 00:49:07,502
short horror films. And they're quite good. All of
805
00:49:07,526 --> 00:49:10,480
them have been fucking excellent. That I have watched.
806
00:49:10,630 --> 00:49:14,348
I 10 out of 10 recommend it. So they have come out
807
00:49:14,404 --> 00:49:17,292
I think this year, but they're not really a movie. It's more of like a
808
00:49:17,316 --> 00:49:21,580
TV series that's on the Netflix. So you like time movies.
809
00:49:21,660 --> 00:49:24,880
You, you like short little episodes of 45 minutes.
810
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:29,132
Then this is for you. You can watch it either subtitled or dubbed.
811
00:49:29,196 --> 00:49:33,324
And it is Terror Tuesday Extreme and it is available on Netflix.
812
00:49:33,452 --> 00:49:36,848
Nice. Yeah. This is one that I remember you telling me about, so try watching
813
00:49:36,864 --> 00:49:40,320
it at some point. Yeah. But I got some gems for
814
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:44,384
you. Our Christmas movie marathon. I'm excited for this.
815
00:49:44,552 --> 00:49:48,448
So the first one I'm gonna talk about is probably one of our most
816
00:49:48,504 --> 00:49:52,912
recent ones we've watched and that is Killer Raccoons 2.
817
00:49:53,016 --> 00:49:56,144
Dark Christmas in the Dark. Dark Christmas in the
818
00:49:56,152 --> 00:49:59,632
Dark is my favorite part of that. It got released in
819
00:49:59,656 --> 00:50:03,082
2019 and has 96 minute runtime. Only one of
820
00:50:03,106 --> 00:50:06,634
my one other person has seen this on my friends list on letterboxd
821
00:50:06,682 --> 00:50:09,754
and that is our good buddy Jason Gray who gave it a four out of
822
00:50:09,762 --> 00:50:13,402
five. Very nice. But I'm gonna, I, I do have
823
00:50:13,426 --> 00:50:16,746
to ask Jason, is there a Killer Raccoons one
824
00:50:16,818 --> 00:50:20,122
or is this one of those goofy things where they made a killer raccoons
825
00:50:20,186 --> 00:50:23,978
2 but there was no actual sequel because I looked up killer raccoons
826
00:50:24,074 --> 00:50:27,258
and this is the only one that pops up on letterbox. So I just not,
827
00:50:27,314 --> 00:50:30,150
I'm just curious, but the synopsis for this one.
828
00:50:30,190 --> 00:50:33,730
Just when you thought it was safe to say Merry Christmas again.
829
00:50:34,990 --> 00:50:39,046
On a snowy Christmas Eve, former mild mannered college student Casey
830
00:50:39,078 --> 00:50:42,262
Smallwood is released from prison after serving 10 years for
831
00:50:42,286 --> 00:50:45,366
underage drinking. Eager to get out of town,
832
00:50:45,438 --> 00:50:48,902
he hops on the express train to Washington D.C. but after the holiday
833
00:50:48,966 --> 00:50:52,502
express takes off into the winter wilderness, it's hijacked by
834
00:50:52,526 --> 00:50:56,214
an angry gang of domestic terrorists and highly intelligent
835
00:50:56,342 --> 00:50:59,286
government trained raccoons. Not one to be.
836
00:50:59,438 --> 00:51:02,614
Not one to back down from raccoon fight. Casey joins forces
837
00:51:02,662 --> 00:51:06,022
with a porter on the train to fight the terrorists. Help bring down
838
00:51:06,046 --> 00:51:09,638
a top secret raccoon controlled military laser satellite
839
00:51:09,734 --> 00:51:12,490
and show those raccoons who's in charge.
840
00:51:13,550 --> 00:51:17,850
This was so God damn stupid.
841
00:51:18,590 --> 00:51:22,134
But at the same time I think this movie broke
842
00:51:22,182 --> 00:51:25,276
my brain because whenever the raccoons
843
00:51:25,308 --> 00:51:29,324
were on screen, they were just like stiff raccoon
844
00:51:29,372 --> 00:51:32,680
puppets that had no move, like they couldn't move.
845
00:51:32,980 --> 00:51:36,284
And they were shooting what they were shooting
846
00:51:36,332 --> 00:51:39,692
machine guns or AKs or whatever, but they were
847
00:51:39,716 --> 00:51:43,212
looking, looking away from where they were shooting. So the head was here
848
00:51:43,236 --> 00:51:46,892
and the guns are pointing this way. And the noises these raccoons make were.
849
00:51:46,916 --> 00:51:49,980
Like, oh my God, that's too funny.
850
00:51:50,060 --> 00:51:53,548
Anytime they were on screen, I literally just started bursting out
851
00:51:53,604 --> 00:51:56,712
laughing, giggling like I was stoned off my ass. Like I just
852
00:51:56,736 --> 00:52:00,040
couldn't stop to the point where I had a hard time breathing.
853
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,720
I love it. I love it. And Connor even comes out
854
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:07,416
going, what the hell is wrong with him? And Erica's going, I think we've
855
00:52:07,448 --> 00:52:11,580
watched one one too many bad Christmas movies and we've broken Scott
856
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:15,912
because I was just. I will probably never watch this again,
857
00:52:16,016 --> 00:52:19,352
but God damn, did I just have a dumb
858
00:52:19,416 --> 00:52:23,034
fun time laughing my ass off at this. I'm glad
859
00:52:23,082 --> 00:52:26,826
you enjoyed it. And it sounds like, I hope you can't hear my dog sparking
860
00:52:26,858 --> 00:52:30,410
in the background. We can, but it's not too bad. Okay, what's the next
861
00:52:30,450 --> 00:52:34,906
one? The next one is. These are all on tubi,
862
00:52:34,938 --> 00:52:38,826
by the way. Okay, the next one is Sleigh Bells.
863
00:52:39,018 --> 00:52:42,538
And this is bells as in beauties
864
00:52:42,634 --> 00:52:45,002
B E L L E S type Bells, babes,
865
00:52:45,066 --> 00:52:48,618
babes. It's 2018 release,
866
00:52:48,754 --> 00:52:53,054
77 minute run time. While urban exploring in an abandoned amusement park,
867
00:52:53,202 --> 00:52:56,582
cosplaying girls accidentally unleash the vicious holiday beast known
868
00:52:56,606 --> 00:52:59,990
as Krampus. With the help of Santa Claus, can these girls stop
869
00:53:00,030 --> 00:53:03,462
Krampus from his killing spree? Yeah, this was just a
870
00:53:03,566 --> 00:53:06,982
silly, low budget, over the top acting,
871
00:53:07,126 --> 00:53:10,742
boobs, gore. Just ridiculous.
872
00:53:10,806 --> 00:53:14,294
But also kind of entertaining Christmas movie. Nice. There's not a
873
00:53:14,302 --> 00:53:17,158
lot to say about it. Like, it's just low budget. It is what it is.
874
00:53:17,214 --> 00:53:20,512
Sleigh bell says it all. Now this one, the next
875
00:53:20,536 --> 00:53:24,448
one I'm going to talk about. This one actually was a nice
876
00:53:24,544 --> 00:53:27,632
surprise. Now bring up the name
877
00:53:27,656 --> 00:53:32,240
of it on Litter Box real quick. This one is Amityville
878
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:35,712
Christmas Vacation. Oh yeah. An Amityville
879
00:53:35,776 --> 00:53:39,296
movie from 2022 with a beautifully
880
00:53:39,408 --> 00:53:43,312
sweet, like, know what? They've got runtime of 50 minutes.
881
00:53:43,456 --> 00:53:47,536
Fuck yeah. Wally has won a vacation to sunny Amityville.
882
00:53:47,648 --> 00:53:51,644
While there he met a woman. A ghost woman. Can spirit of Christmas
883
00:53:51,692 --> 00:53:54,908
bring these two opposites together? That is the synopsis.
884
00:53:55,004 --> 00:53:58,556
I love it. I love it. This was actually quite
885
00:53:58,668 --> 00:54:02,300
cute and charming and funny. Like, I was shocked because I'm going,
886
00:54:02,340 --> 00:54:05,852
oh God, Amityville. This is going to be terrible because there has not
887
00:54:05,876 --> 00:54:09,132
been a good Amityville movie since. Like, I don't even.
888
00:54:09,316 --> 00:54:12,480
Yeah, like everything is just trash.
889
00:54:13,700 --> 00:54:17,682
But whatever the director did with this, like he knew what he had. The actors
890
00:54:17,746 --> 00:54:20,850
knew what they were doing. Like they knew that what type of movie they were
891
00:54:20,890 --> 00:54:24,514
portraying. It was silly, it was ridiculous,
892
00:54:24,562 --> 00:54:28,418
it was super low budget. But it was also just very cute and
893
00:54:28,474 --> 00:54:31,986
charming. Where I actually adored the two main leads
894
00:54:32,018 --> 00:54:35,650
in this film a lot. And I actually would buy this movie. It was like,
895
00:54:35,690 --> 00:54:38,722
this one could be a Christmas tradition. Like for me now. Like, this was a
896
00:54:38,746 --> 00:54:42,114
really just fun little film that just surprised
897
00:54:42,162 --> 00:54:45,170
the hell out of me. That's sweet. And that's on Tubi as well. Yes.
898
00:54:45,250 --> 00:54:48,434
Well, there we go. We have Terror Tuesday, Thai Extreme,
899
00:54:48,482 --> 00:54:49,310
and three,
900
00:54:52,890 --> 00:54:57,298
this really is scraping the bottle of the barrel 2024
901
00:54:57,354 --> 00:55:00,830
December show. I love it.
902
00:55:01,610 --> 00:55:05,218
For the first time in a long time, we're going to talk about a podcast.
903
00:55:05,314 --> 00:55:08,546
It's been very long time. Besides, don't use a horror.
904
00:55:08,578 --> 00:55:11,698
Oh yeah, besides, like all the podcasts that we usually talk
905
00:55:11,754 --> 00:55:14,890
about, but one that's different. So for any of
906
00:55:14,930 --> 00:55:18,938
those who live in Canada or visited Canada and believe in ghosts
907
00:55:18,954 --> 00:55:22,170
and supernatural, there is a podcast called
908
00:55:22,210 --> 00:55:25,642
Haunted Canada. It is a do it yourself podcast and it
909
00:55:25,666 --> 00:55:29,226
is run by a woman who does ghost walks in
British
910
00:55:29,258 --> 00:55:33,018
Columbia. So she has traveled all around Canada and
911
00:55:33,074 --> 00:55:36,842
has done different ghost walks and stayed at haunted places. So a lot of the
912
00:55:36,866 --> 00:55:40,542
places she talks about, she's actually stayed at. She chooses
913
00:55:40,606 --> 00:55:44,222
two hauntings per or, sorry, three hauntings per episode
914
00:55:44,366 --> 00:55:48,910
and she tells the story. So it's a little history, a little folklore,
915
00:55:49,070 --> 00:55:52,430
all wrapped up in a nice 45 minute less or less
916
00:55:52,550 --> 00:55:56,222
episode. So if you're into ghosties and you're looking for kind
917
00:55:56,246 --> 00:55:59,182
of someone who I would say is a step above Scott and I when it
918
00:55:59,206 --> 00:56:02,718
comes to production value and just doing a pretty
919
00:56:02,734 --> 00:56:06,290
good podcast in general, but you're looking for more of that supernatural
920
00:56:07,300 --> 00:56:10,684
true stories in Canada. And she does a real good mix. Some of
921
00:56:10,692 --> 00:56:14,812
them I'm familiar with them, some of them I'm not. It's, it's a
922
00:56:14,836 --> 00:56:18,880
really good little podcast. It's called Haunted Canada. You can find it on Spotify,
923
00:56:19,700 --> 00:56:23,164
Apple podcasts, basically anywhere where you listen. And I
924
00:56:23,172 --> 00:56:25,804
would say go give it a. Go give it a listen if you're into that
925
00:56:25,812 --> 00:56:29,404
kind of thing. Nice. I'll say. That sounds familiar.
926
00:56:29,452 --> 00:56:32,972
Haunted Canada. Yeah. There's a TV show. Okay. And for
927
00:56:32,996 --> 00:56:36,316
some reason she's doing a podcast. I hope she doesn't get in trouble because there's
928
00:56:36,348 --> 00:56:39,752
a TV show. But anyway, I don't think
929
00:56:39,776 --> 00:56:43,224
it's by the same person either. Oh, gotcha. That's why I, I.
930
00:56:43,312 --> 00:56:46,648
But hey, you know what? It's Canadian and no one watches it.
931
00:56:46,704 --> 00:56:50,008
So, you know, she's probably fine. So.
932
00:56:50,064 --> 00:56:53,672
But yeah, that's why it sounds familiar is because there's a
933
00:56:53,696 --> 00:56:57,272
TV show that I probably talked about on here before that's probably.
934
00:56:57,416 --> 00:57:01,064
And now it's a podcast. So she was doing a couple
935
00:57:01,112 --> 00:57:04,030
episodes, she stopped and then she came back.
936
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:08,290
So I'm. Yeah. Anyway, if you're interested into ghost stories,
937
00:57:08,370 --> 00:57:11,442
check it out. Nice. Yeah, I, like,
938
00:57:11,466 --> 00:57:15,234
I promised I came back with some book talk because
939
00:57:15,322 --> 00:57:18,706
last episode I did not finish either of the books
940
00:57:18,738 --> 00:57:22,370
I was listening to or listening or reading. And I
941
00:57:22,410 --> 00:57:25,858
finished both of them. One of them is a re.
942
00:57:25,914 --> 00:57:29,570
Listen slash reread. And that is under the Dome by
943
00:57:29,610 --> 00:57:32,962
Stephen King. This one is about a
944
00:57:33,146 --> 00:57:36,722
little like just a tiny little town that all
945
00:57:36,746 --> 00:57:39,890
of a sudden a dome that shapes the
946
00:57:39,930 --> 00:57:43,826
border of this town just appears out of nowhere. Just like slams
947
00:57:43,858 --> 00:57:47,426
over the top of the town. Sounds like the typical starting of a Stephen
948
00:57:47,458 --> 00:57:51,170
King novel. A tiny little town. And bullshit happens in
949
00:57:51,210 --> 00:57:54,386
Maine. In Maine. And bullshit goes down.
950
00:57:54,538 --> 00:57:57,810
But yeah, like this dome just comes crashing down like
951
00:57:57,850 --> 00:58:00,962
slices animals in half that were like walking across the line.
952
00:58:01,066 --> 00:58:04,578
Oh, Jesus Christ. Cars going
953
00:58:04,634 --> 00:58:08,354
full speed into this dome and crashing and dying. Because it's just like, you know,
954
00:58:08,362 --> 00:58:12,162
it's like a solid material but it's invisible and planes crashing in
955
00:58:12,186 --> 00:58:15,170
the air because it's reaching way up in the sky and stuff. So it's,
956
00:58:15,250 --> 00:58:18,306
you know, it's a horrific little opening segment for this book.
957
00:58:18,378 --> 00:58:22,230
And then it's just basically the story of what
958
00:58:22,270 --> 00:58:25,910
would you. What would these townsfolk do if they were cut off
959
00:58:25,950 --> 00:58:29,030
from the rest of the world, only had like
960
00:58:29,070 --> 00:58:33,206
a limited amount of supplies in their stores, had a corrupt
961
00:58:33,318 --> 00:58:36,822
councilman of the city running the show and basically
962
00:58:36,886 --> 00:58:40,214
trying to be a dictator during all of this.
963
00:58:40,302 --> 00:58:44,102
And basically just showing the breakdown of civilization
964
00:58:44,246 --> 00:58:47,222
in this town within less than a week.
965
00:58:47,406 --> 00:58:51,454
And I read, I listened to this book probably 10 to
966
00:58:51,542 --> 00:58:55,006
10 or so years ago, fell in love with it. This is. And re listening
967
00:58:55,038 --> 00:58:58,510
to it. I think I have to say this, like not a lot of people
968
00:58:58,550 --> 00:59:01,646
are fans of the ending. I don't mind the ending of this one, but I'm
969
00:59:01,678 --> 00:59:04,974
also the known quantity that Stephen King has a
970
00:59:04,982 --> 00:59:08,254
hard time making a good ending for his books. Majority of
971
00:59:08,262 --> 00:59:11,502
the time he has amazing stories, just has
972
00:59:11,526 --> 00:59:15,022
a hard time figuring out a good ending. This one though, this is probably one
973
00:59:15,046 --> 00:59:18,206
of my favorite. This is if not my all time favorite,
974
00:59:18,238 --> 00:59:21,610
Stephen King. Not okay. Like, I just love the.
975
00:59:21,730 --> 00:59:25,194
All
the characters because in a Stephen King novel you got like 30
976
00:59:25,282 --> 00:59:28,938
or so characters that you're following and getting to know really
977
00:59:28,994 --> 00:59:32,906
well. And. And it's. You know, he's great at that and great at the details
978
00:59:32,938 --> 00:59:36,410
and just building up these characters and the stuff that happens in the
979
00:59:36,450 --> 00:59:40,058
story. It's just like horrific, but also just fascinating where I was gripped
980
00:59:40,074 --> 00:59:43,178
the entire time. So this is one of my favorite Stephen King books
981
00:59:43,194 --> 00:59:46,368
of all time. Recommend it to anybody if they haven't read or listen
982
00:59:46,384 --> 00:59:48,832
to it. But it is a really long book. I think this was like a
983
00:59:48,856 --> 00:59:51,600
36 hour read on Audible. That is long.
984
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:55,008
Okay. Yeah. But the next one is a
985
00:59:55,064 --> 00:59:58,448
book that I covered the. Another movie or I covered another
986
00:59:58,504 --> 01:00:01,904
of this author's books before. And the author is Nick Cutter. And the
987
01:00:01,912 --> 01:00:05,600
book that I talked about before was the Troop. Yeah, Throwback to
988
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:09,232
Body Horror. Yeah. Yeah. He had another book that
989
01:00:09,256 --> 01:00:12,748
I kept seeing people talking about called the Deep. And this
990
01:00:12,804 --> 01:00:15,756
one also dives into a bit of the body horror,
991
01:00:15,788 --> 01:00:19,580
which is awesome. But it starts off with the world
992
01:00:19,700 --> 01:00:23,340
has been infected by this disease called the
993
01:00:23,380 --> 01:00:26,732
GETs. And what it is is this disease
994
01:00:26,796 --> 01:00:30,268
that has like a insanely severe
995
01:00:30,364 --> 01:00:33,260
case of Alzheimer's where,
996
01:00:33,380 --> 01:00:37,356
okay, you. Where the people, you know, like, they start forgetting
997
01:00:37,468 --> 01:00:40,962
little things here and there, forgetting their name, start forgetting who
998
01:00:40,986 --> 01:00:44,274
you are, you know, typical, like, unfortunate Alzheimer's effects. Yeah.
999
01:00:44,322 --> 01:00:47,970
Then it gets worse to the point where they can't even remember how to do
1000
01:00:48,010 --> 01:00:51,346
normal functions like eating or breathing, until they
1001
01:00:51,418 --> 01:00:54,674
basically die because they can't do any of these things. And that is dark.
1002
01:00:54,722 --> 01:00:58,114
Yeah, I'll say. That's the start of this book where it's like this disease is
1003
01:00:58,202 --> 01:01:01,954
ongoing and the main character gets called upon
1004
01:01:02,002 --> 01:01:05,946
by the military because his brother is like, they're super smart
1005
01:01:06,098 --> 01:01:09,962
scientists that's trying to figure out a cure for this disease. He believe
1006
01:01:10,066 --> 01:01:14,058
the brother believes he found a cure deep down in the Mariana Trench.
1007
01:01:14,154 --> 01:01:18,090
So they have this submarine base set up down in the Mariana Trench.
1008
01:01:18,250 --> 01:01:21,786
So the brother, the main character, gets shipped over
1009
01:01:21,858 --> 01:01:24,970
to this sea bunker and they go down
1010
01:01:25,010 --> 01:01:28,826
in this submarine to get to the space station or underwater
1011
01:01:28,858 --> 01:01:32,442
station. And that is where the true horror begins.
1012
01:01:32,506 --> 01:01:36,376
Because they have found what could possibly be the cure called
1013
01:01:36,448 --> 01:01:40,184
ambrosia. And for some people that may not know, ambrosia is also
1014
01:01:40,272 --> 01:01:43,624
the nickname of food of the gods, which is
1015
01:01:43,712 --> 01:01:46,580
something in like, old ancient Greek, I believe.
1016
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:51,352
But yeah, it's this like, weird algae that seems to
1017
01:01:51,456 --> 01:01:54,088
reconstruct and rebuild, like,
1018
01:01:54,144 --> 01:01:57,960
wounds and can kind of bring people's memory
1019
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:01,202
back and stuff like that. But of course, there is
1020
01:02:01,226 --> 01:02:04,530
a much darker, sinister thing taking hold with this
1021
01:02:04,570 --> 01:02:08,610
ambrosia. And it's actually more like a Lovecraftian
1022
01:02:08,690 --> 01:02:11,986
nightmare beast in a way. Your thing completely.
1023
01:02:12,018 --> 01:02:15,394
Yeah. And it starts taking over the body and kind of gives me the thing
1024
01:02:15,482 --> 01:02:18,866
vibes. Nice, nice. And yeah, it's like the Thing meets
1025
01:02:18,898 --> 01:02:22,210
that Leviathan movie that Erica introduced me to a couple years back.
1026
01:02:22,330 --> 01:02:25,968
And this gets really claustrophobic and
1027
01:02:26,114 --> 01:02:29,492
horror centric and made me just like go, ooh,
1028
01:02:29,556 --> 01:02:33,044
this is creepy as fuck. This is. Yeah.
1029
01:02:33,092 --> 01:02:36,676
Nick Cutter is becoming one of my new new favorite modern
1030
01:02:36,708 --> 01:02:39,956
day authors. Like, I'm loving his work. He kind of hits
1031
01:02:39,988 --> 01:02:43,508
that 80s horror feel. I love it. I love it. Well, I'm glad. I'm glad
1032
01:02:43,524 --> 01:02:45,652
that you brought two more books by the end of the year. You know,
1033
01:02:45,676 --> 01:02:48,596
you did start that this year and I'm glad we were able to kind of
1034
01:02:48,668 --> 01:02:51,572
knock it off. Kind of like how we usually would. Some older watches or other
1035
01:02:51,596 --> 01:02:54,724
watches, a podcast, books, a handful of
1036
01:02:54,732 --> 01:02:58,980
2024 that we dug out with standouts.
1037
01:02:59,060 --> 01:03:02,372
Got two more books that I'm doing right now that I might have for next
1038
01:03:02,396 --> 01:03:05,684
episode, but I'm doing Damnation Game by Clive Barker. Oh, nice.
1039
01:03:05,812 --> 01:03:09,060
And I'm listening to Stephen King's Misery for
the first time.
1040
01:03:09,100 --> 01:03:12,660
Oh, awesome. Yeah, very nice. But the amount we record that will be in 2026.
1041
01:03:12,700 --> 01:03:15,416
That we'll talk about. Exactly. Skip over 2025.
1042
01:03:15,607 --> 01:03:19,412
2025 is just this. That year doesn't happen. We're like too much
1043
01:03:19,436 --> 01:03:22,612
going on. I wonder. Yeah. Like Scott and I will give
1044
01:03:22,636 --> 01:03:25,604
the heads up before we stop recording. Like we're not going to just break up
1045
01:03:25,612 --> 01:03:28,804
with you guys and go stone silent. We'll do a final episode
1046
01:03:28,852 --> 01:03:32,292
and say this is it. Yeah. And I think we're gonna have to
1047
01:03:32,316 --> 01:03:35,972
really look at after we do our top 100. Our end of the
1048
01:03:35,996 --> 01:03:38,954
year. Our top ones from 23,
1049
01:03:39,046 --> 01:03:42,052
24 or what? No, 20. 2024. Right.
1050
01:03:42,156 --> 01:03:45,412
How much we want to do in 2025. I think it will. We'll have
1051
01:03:45,436 --> 01:03:48,932
to have a really big conversation about that because I know
1052
01:03:49,036 --> 01:03:52,644
I will be traveling a lot coming up next year and Scott
1053
01:03:52,692 --> 01:03:56,580
is getting married. So come. It could be a lot of business. Summer,
1054
01:03:56,660 --> 01:04:00,180
you're going to be very busy. So I think we may have to make
1055
01:04:00,220 --> 01:04:04,068
some. We're not saying that we're going anywhere. We're just saying that I think
1056
01:04:04,124 --> 01:04:07,540
we're not saying it's you as us, but we'll see.
1057
01:04:07,580 --> 01:04:11,988
We want to definitely though do our 24. 2024 awards.
1058
01:04:12,164 --> 01:04:16,020
The thing that we wanted to do with our. Our top movies from the years
1059
01:04:16,060 --> 01:04:19,000
that we watched that Will probably be split into two episodes,
1060
01:04:20,140 --> 01:04:23,620
and then we'll see where we go from there. Yeah. And we'll see what 2025
1061
01:04:23,660 --> 01:04:26,740
brings. We'll see. Yeah. I was like, yeah, we're definitely not done. We'll, we have,
1062
01:04:26,780 --> 01:04:30,052
we still have the bottom of the barrel, 2025 to scrape up.
1063
01:04:30,236 --> 01:04:33,476
It just, we made. To end up being. We have been a monthly podcast,
1064
01:04:33,508 --> 01:04:36,980
and I feel as though if we continue, it will be a monthly podcast.
1065
01:04:37,140 --> 01:04:40,772
Yeah. And probably just because it just makes it easier on us now with
1066
01:04:40,796 --> 01:04:44,120
a lot of our lives, like, just our lives are changing. It happens, right?
1067
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:47,512
It is. And, and Scott's getting married, and that's a really big deal, and we
1068
01:04:47,536 --> 01:04:51,128
need to, like, spend a lot of time preparing for that beautiful day,
1069
01:04:51,184 --> 01:04:54,680
the shenanigans that will occur. Well. And just making
1070
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:57,140
sure that Erica still really wants to do this.
1071
01:04:57,440 --> 01:05:00,744
I, I, I keep, I keep asking her, are you sure?
1072
01:05:00,832 --> 01:05:03,896
Are you feeling okay? Right? It's like misery.
1073
01:05:03,928 --> 01:05:07,128
She's, like, chained to the bed. You're like, are you sure? She's like, I don't
1074
01:05:07,144 --> 01:05:10,904
really have a choice, Scott. You, you cock a duty.
1075
01:05:10,952 --> 01:05:14,488
Do you do well, thank you, as always,
1076
01:05:14,544 --> 01:05:18,184
for supporting us over this year. It's been,
1077
01:05:18,352 --> 01:05:22,056
it's been an adventure and a half, good and bad and everything
1078
01:05:22,128 --> 01:05:25,816
in between. Off Bloom House with your dumb movies.
1079
01:05:25,928 --> 01:05:29,340
Please, for the love of God, stop making stupid movies.
1080
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:33,496
And, yeah, we'll see what. We'll see what our awards bring.
1081
01:05:33,568 --> 01:05:36,722
It will be a very good, colorful list. Yeah.
1082
01:05:36,786 --> 01:05:40,066
Should be very interesting. I may have to, like, really scrape
1083
01:05:40,098 --> 01:05:43,394
the dregs to find some for some of the categories, but we shall
1084
01:05:43,442 --> 01:05:47,314
see. You will see. As always, we are proud members of

01:07:08,882 --> 01:07:12,962
and correcting us when we're wrong or if there's some opinion. Here's the
1109
01:07:12,986 --> 01:07:15,938
thing, we're never wrong, though. Oh, oh, true, true, true, true. Right?
1110
01:07:15,994 --> 01:07:19,474
Like, we are premium. We are. We are premium. It's, it's, it's.
1111
01:07:19,522 --> 01:07:22,534
We. We are the Tomahawk suckstakes of podcasting,
1112
01:07:22,582 --> 01:07:26,006
right? Like, there's everyone else and then there's us.
1113
01:07:26,158 --> 01:07:29,638
That's true. Like the low budget beef Wellington horror guys over there,
1114
01:07:29,694 --> 01:07:33,126
Dummies of horror, right? Like, they only have one movie
1115
01:07:33,158 --> 01:07:36,182
theater that they all go to to watch a movie. That's. I know. They're just
1116
01:07:36,206 --> 01:07:39,702
getting to watch Jurassic park for the first time. I know they're really excited.
1117
01:07:39,846 --> 01:07:43,062
Just wait till we tell them that there's been like 18 billion sequels afterwards.
1118
01:07:43,126 --> 01:07:46,038
Oh, man. And Terminator 2. Tim, you're going to love it.
1119
01:07:46,094 --> 01:07:48,770
It's really great special effects. State of the art, actually.
1120
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:53,344
You know, it will be interesting to see if they make another Jurassic park film
1121
01:07:53,432 --> 01:07:57,536
or world or whatever. Oh, they are. Jesus Christ. Scarlett Johansson
1122
01:07:57,568 --> 01:08:00,544
apparently is signed on with this one as well. Oh, my God. Fuck.
1123
01:08:00,592 --> 01:08:04,060
You know, we don't need another fucking Jurassic World film.
1124
01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:08,000
Really, truly don't. But hey, you know what? It makes money.
1125
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:11,696
It does. Somehow. Somehow.
1126
01:08:11,888 --> 01:08:15,440
Well, thank you everybody for listening. We will see you again for our
1127
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:19,152
end of the year award show. And I
1128
01:08:19,176 --> 01:08:22,096
forget what I usually say. Thank you very much for listening, blah,
1129
01:08:22,128 --> 01:08:25,856
blah, blah. And then I'll say something like, scotty, do you have anything
1130
01:08:25,888 --> 01:08:29,072
to say to the good? Yeah, There we go. There we go. Yeah. So,
1131
01:08:29,096 --> 01:08:32,512
yeah, thank you as always, and we will see you on the flip side.
1132
01:08:32,616 --> 01:08:36,740
So until next time, kitties. Unpleasant dreams.
1133
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:43,429
See ya. Sa.
1134
01:09:33,670 --> 01:09:34,410
Sa.
1135
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:50,500
