[Music]
2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Like man, it's a Psych-Out!
3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,000
See the pleasure lovers who live it like it is, where it's at.
4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Make the scene with the rebels, the hippies who think that flower-power rules,
5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,000
over everything and everybody.
6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Psych-Out!
7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Dick Clark presents the hallucinatory world of the flower children
8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
as they parade up and down the streets of San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district.
9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Psych out was filmed entirely on location in hippie heaven.
10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
See the mind-blowers in action.
11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Watch the psychedelic dropouts as they Psych-Out.
12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Psych out!
13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Psych out!
14
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
You'll listen to the sound of green with the Seeds in the Strawberry Alarm Clock.
15
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Taste a moment of madness when you experience a psych out.
16
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,000
With Susan Strasberg and Dean Stockwell, in psychedelic color from American International.
17
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Psych out!
18
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,000
We're not talking about actors.
19
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000
We mean a real monster. I brought her back.
20
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000
She'll live and I'll get her another body.
21
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,000
I know they're gonna catch me but don't let anyone see me like that? Please, Doctor, help me!
22
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Biologically speaking, it's a primary importance that man should want to mate.
23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,000
Hey, that's right!
24
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,000
You don't get all your kicks from surfing, do you?
25
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,000
We want to be free to ride our machines without being hassled by the man.
26
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000
[Music]
27
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000
And we want to get loaded.
28
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000
You think you're gonna make a slave of the world?
29
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
I'll see you in Hell first!

The American International Podcast.
32
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Are you ready?
33
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Oh, Groovy, you found the American International Podcast.
34
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,000
I'm Cheryl Lightfoot.
35
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,000
And I'm Jeff Markin.
36
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Tune in, turn on, and drop in to listen to our take on Psych-Out from 1968.
37
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Psych-Out was directed by Richard Rush from a screenplay by E. Hunter Willet and Betty Ulius,
38
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000
which itself came from a story by E-Hunter Willet.
39
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000
And it was produced by Dick Clark for Dick Clark Enterprises.
40
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Psych out stars Susan Strasberg as Jenny Davis, Dean Stockwell as Dave, Jack Nicholson as Stoney,
41
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Bruce Dern as Steve Davis, Max Julien as Elwood, Adam Roarke as Ben, Henry Jaglom as Warren,
42
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Linda G. Scott as Lynn.
43
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Also appearing our I.J. Jefferson as Pandora, Ken Scott as preacher, Gary Marshall as Plink Loseman,
44
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:23,000
John Cardo as Thug, Gary Kent as Thug leader, the Seeds as themselves, and the Strawberry Larm clock as themselves.
45
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Psych out opens with the A.I.P. logo circa 1968.
46
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000
James H. Nicholson and Samuel Z. Arkoff present a Dick Clark production.
47
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,000
And we get some newsreel-style footage, just clips of it.
48
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,000
But it seems like pictures from today's headlines.
49
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Well, they're showing the hazards of the late 1960s.
50
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Protests, war, mushroom clouds, surgeon general has determined that cigarette smoking can be hazardous to your health.
51
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
It's about time they figure that out.
52
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,000
And the Flintstones will have to stop advertising cigarettes on air.
53
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Over this we hear the sound of sirens, which suddenly fades to silence.
54
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
We fade back into a woman on a bus.
55
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
This is our lead character Jenny played by Susan Strassberg.
56
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,000
And the bus is stopped and through the window she's getting a flower from a hippie.
57
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000
Well, the hippie is knocking on the window and Jenny doesn't notice it at first.
58
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Jenny gets off of that famous intersection and tries to take in all the sights.
59
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:18,000
She walks through the hippie-filled streets of San Francisco as the strawberry alarm clock plays a slight out on the soundtrack.
60
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,000
It's not on the soundtrack though.
61
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,000
It's not on the soundtrack album, but it is on the soundtrack of the film.
62
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Good enough for me.
63
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,000
She's looking at everything with wide eyed wonderment.
64
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:33,000
A southern hippie chick comes up behind her and asks for four sands, then three sands, and finally two sands.
65
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,000
But Jenny doesn't respond.
66
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:41,000
She's just staring ahead at the street musicians playing before her oblivious to everyone else around her.
67
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,000
And the hippie walks away.
68
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Then Jenny herself moves on.
69
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,000
She starts down the street and another hippie catches her eye and asks Jenny if she's got a place to stay.
70
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,000
She asks him to repeat the question, and then nods yes and continues on.
71
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,000
But she walks into traffic.
72
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:00,000
But she's nearly hit by a car as she gazes at some protesters on the sidewalk who are carrying signs that don't say anything.
73
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,000
The driver stops before he hits her and starts blaring his horn, and she's not paying him any attention.
74
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Then Jenny notices and goes to the window.
75
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,000
The driver calls her a stupid kid who is probably on drugs like all the others.
76
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Jenny's snarls at him to shut up.
77
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Then smiles and explains that she's deaf.
78
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,000
She says it with a smirk and then she takes off.
79
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000
The man's wife tuts off poor little things.
80
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,000
She can't hear.
81
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,000
And the man rolls his eyes at us watching him.
82
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Then we cut away to hippies prancing around in the park as the credits conclude.
83
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Yeah, we're going to see a lot of footage that's kind of on par with us as the moving progresses.
84
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Next scene brings us to a coffee house where Jack Nicholson with a fake ponytail, Adam Rourke and Max Julien are sitting together in a coffee house.
85
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:50,000
But these people are not who we think they are. They're actually Stoney, Ben and Elwood.
86
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Would you say this is a beatnik coffee shop or a hippie coffee shop?
87
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,000
I think it may have one time been a beatnik coffee shop, but I think it's evolved.
88
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Yeah, I think it's got that vibe though where nobody really spends money.
89
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,000
They just hang out there and they listen to music and rap with each other.
90
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Their friend Warren comes up to join them with very fake mutton shops.
91
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Yes, with mutton shops made from the bathroom rug.
92
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000
He made a poster for something and the others laugh at it.
93
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Warren gets mad and walks over to where Jenny is sitting. She's there too.
94
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,000
He wants to know if she's a Gemini. She doesn't answer.
95
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,000
So he tries to kiss her and she fends him off.
96
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,000
He tries to explain, "You don't understand. I'm a Leo. We're in phase."
97
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Stoney comes over to join them at the table and Elwood points Warren on that direction to find a real Gemini.
98
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:41,000
Now Ben and Stoney have also found Jenny just as a couple of not very well disguised playing closed detectives coming in the cafe.
99
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,000
And they pass right by where Jenny is sitting.
100
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Ben starts asking Jenny about her Gemini dumb.
101
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,000
She responds to his questions because she can see his face.
102
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Then Elwood joins them and Stoney tries to chat her up but she's not looking at him.
103
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Stoney realizes that Jenny is reacting to conversation but not responding.
104
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,000
He covers his mouth and says, "I think she's deaf."
105
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Elwood and Ben find this hilarious.
106
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,000
And kind of rude.
107
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,000
Yeah, Elwood says it's in bad taste.
108
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Still covering his mouth, Stoney suggests they kill her and eat her.
109
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Which sets Ben and Elwood into hysterics.
110
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,000
But Jenny is offended. What are you laughing at?
111
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,000
She gets up to leave but Stoney restrains her.
112
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000
He says he just wants to ask her a question.
113
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000
"I'm deaf, Declare's Jenny."
114
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000
Stoney looks quite proud of himself to have figured this out on his own.
115
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,000
His expression is quite triumphant. She confirms that she can relips.
116
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,000
I spend in Elwood, Razz Stoney, for making fun of her.
117
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Stoney jokes with Jenny that she knows he digs her.
118
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,000
And she's hot for him too, right?
119
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,000
She laughs until she cries and asks for another cup of coffee.
120
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,000
Elwood offers to get it since serving as part of his racial memory.
121
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,000
But Stoney insists that he'll get it.
122
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,000
She mentioned that Elwood is the only black person in this group.
123
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000
It comes up a couple times.
124
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Stoney gets up to the counter just in time to see Detective Gary Marshall
125
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000
flashing a picture of Jenny to another patron.
126
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000
He says she's a runaway and they're looking for her.
127
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,000
But not very hard because they just passed her.
128
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Stoney returns to their table to move her out of the cops' field of vision.
129
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,000
He mouths to Jenny that the cops are looking for her, so she hides her face in her hands.
130
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,000
The policeman takes a seat with a couple of older women and begins asking them if they'd seen Jenny.
131
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000
But Ben has an idea to distract them.
132
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:20,000
He goes over to them and puts an arm over each one and says he noticed that they're new here.
133
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,000
And he just wanted to make sure they're all right.
134
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Peace and love and all that.
135
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,000
They push Ben off them and Ben flies across the room into Stoney and Jenny's table.
136
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,000
Stoney jumps up and beg starts a fight with Ben, who's still calling for peace and love.
137
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,000
The police get into the scuffle as well and they're booed and beaded.
138
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,000
Beaded?
139
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000
They start playing beads over their neck.
140
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Oh, beaded.
141
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,000
Oh, okay.
142
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Yeah, this Tesla could have easily exposed Jenny if these cops weren't so bad at their job.
143
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,000
The cops retreat without Jenny who hit herself under the table.
144
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Ben asks Jenny if she's got a place to stay.
145
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Yes, she says my brother lives here.
146
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,000
With that, everyone leaves, leaving Jenny alone at the table.
147
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Ben looked pretty relieved to hear that he didn't have to take her home or find her another place.
148
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,000
On this way out, Stoney hands her a dandelion and says see you later.
149
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:07,000
And then we get another kind of long scene of Jenny taking in the sights of San Francisco.
150
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,000
Meanwhile, Stoney, Ben and Ellwood go to find their friend Warren at an art gallery.
151
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,000
He's made posters for their upcoming show and their band called Mumbling Jim.
152
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,000
So they're going to be putting up these posters around town.
153
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,000
And in a long montage such incense and peppermints, they said about doing just that.
154
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,000
And this whole time, Ellwood is tripping.
155
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,000
I challenge you to find a part of the movie where Ellwood isn't tripping.
156
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,000
But he's also driving and Stoney thinks it's time for him to take over the wheel.
157
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:38,000
While he's driving, the producers try to mimic the effect of LSD by shooting a kaleidoscopic effect
158
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,000
where everything we see is multiples and swirls about the screen.
159
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:46,000
And then Ellwood completely covers the stop sign with pink paint and the word love.
160
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000
This is a pretty long montage.
161
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Yeah, it's kind of fun just to sit and watch and not have to take notes.
162
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000
It's not the last of those either.
163
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,000
Later, they're all gathered up in the Mumbling Jim Mobile.
164
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,000
It's a painted VW bus.
165
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Stoney asked Ellwood if he's okay.
166
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,000
Ellwood asked if he's ever seen the universe explode in his head.
167
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,000
Stoney just rolls his eyes and smiles.
168
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Looking out the window, he knows his Jenny speaking to a woman outside of house.
169
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000
Hey, Jenny, Ben calls out.
170
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,000
It don't do any good to yell, you know, says Stoney.
171
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:21,000
What a coincidence that they spotted her, but the smontage was long enough they could have covered the entire neighborhood and then some.
172
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:28,000
They get out of the van and join Jenny with the woman who turns out to be the land lady of the last place her brother was known to live.
173
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:33,000
The land lady says that her brother left with no forwarding address and he didn't say anything.
174
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,000
He just disappeared.
175
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:39,000
She goes and Stoney asks Jenny if she's sure that her brother is even in San Francisco.
176
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,000
And Jenny says she received the postcard from him just a week ago.
177
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:49,000
It says, "Just says, SAES, God is alive and well in a sugar cube."
178
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,000
exclamation point.
179
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,000
This turns out to be an important clue, kind of.
180
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,000
More on that later.
181
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,000
A cop passes by the house so Stoney says they gots to go.
182
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,000
And this time they put Jenny in the van with them.
183
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:07,000
As they're off and driving again, Ben tells her that he doesn't know if they can help her find her brother, but they'll sure try.
184
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:13,000
Stoney says the cops will pick her up in about five minutes if she doesn't get out of those square clothes.
185
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,000
Jenny tells him that she doesn't have much money and Stoney says that's okay.
186
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,000
Now much money is needed around here.
187
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,000
They take her to a thrift shop where everything is free. The price is right.
188
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Jenny starts looking through the racks as Stoney grills her on why she ran away.
189
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,000
She gets angry.
190
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,000
I thought you said these clothes were free. She snaps and she tries to storm off.
191
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,000
But once again, Stoney grabs her and apologizes.
192
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,000
She doesn't have to tell him anything.
193
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,000
He says it's cool. Everyone just does his own thing.
194
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,000
And then we have another long montage of Jenny trying on the office.
195
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Yeah, Ben brings her some clothes to try on, but the stupid montage.
196
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:52,000
And I'm sorry, it's really dumb. She's trying on flapper dresses, fur coats,
197
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Oh, and Native American garb.
198
00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Most of the time Stoney and Ben are just shaking their heads, but Elwood is sitting in a chair and giggling the entire time.
199
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Like I said, find a time he's not tripping. I dare you. Then she finally settles on a cream colored baby dowel dress.
200
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,000
Pretty subdued after all the other costumes she had tried on. But finally we're out of this scene.
201
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:21,000
In the next scene, we're at the guys' flop house where a bee in is in progress.
202
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,000
The place is lousy with hippies dropping out, turning on, etc.
203
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,000
There's guitars and crystals. One person is playing a citar.
204
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:34,000
Her beads everywhere when hippie says that the message is in the beads, the message is music.
205
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,000
The message is searching for the truth.
206
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:43,000
Our girl named Pandora is dancing by herself. But when a guy asks her why she's dancing by herself, she says she's not.
207
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,000
She's dancing with everybody else.
208
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,000
You know what I mean?
209
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,000
And there's dreamy music droning in the background.
210
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000
A random hippie tries to wrap with Jenny.
211
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,000
Yes, or what she thinks of the place. And she says the pad means sanctuary to her.
212
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:02,000
Ben is talking to Elwood and saying that Jenny needs a place to stay. And everybody here seems to like her.
213
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000
And he thinks that she could stay there.
214
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Elwood says it's cluttered enough already. Ben reminds him that Stony has his own pad there.
215
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,000
And Elwood laughs, "You'll scare him half to death. You know he's a one-nighter."
216
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Hey, loves him and leaves him.
217
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Elsewhere, our girl named Lynn tries to get Stony into bed.
218
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Stony consults with Lynn's husband Wesley, who is distracted by his own problems.
219
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:29,000
However, Stony reminds Lynn that Wesley promised to pound him into motorcycle grease if he even looks at her.
220
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:35,000
As the evening continues, Stony takes Jenny back to his room, which he has to open a window to get to.
221
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,000
It's not a window. It's like panel in the wall.
222
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:43,000
It's got a poster over it. It just slides up and then you crawl into this second space.
223
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Anyway, it's a very tight squeeze.
224
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Yeah.
225
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:51,000
But it does give them some privacy, which is very hard to come by in the rest of the house.
226
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,000
He leans into Kister, but she pulls back.
227
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,000
He tells her she can stay there tonight if she wants, and she thanks him and he leaves.
228
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,000
She sits down in the bed and on his cat, and it gives her a scratch.
229
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,000
She pets it and then she changes into a robe she found hanging on the wall and gets in bed.
230
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Stony now topless joins her, but he doesn't try anything with Jenny,
231
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,000
because Pandora has appeared at his bedside. It spears him away.
232
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,000
The hippie party continues as the soundtrack almost plays purple haze.
233
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:26,000
And a lot more montage. There's body paint and everything we see seems to be Wesley's hallucination.
234
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Yeah, his wife Lin wants to know it, Wesley's seeing.
235
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:35,000
And while he's seeing what we see, a bunch of kaleidoscopic visions of women wearing only body paint.
236
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,000
And at the end of this, I wrote, this is a pointless scene.
237
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:44,000
The next morning, Jenny awakens to find that Stony has returned to the bed, and though asleep,
238
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:52,000
he has an arm draped over her and she's stuck. She tries to move him, but instead he throws a leg over her as well.
239
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Suddenly Ben bursts in and tells him that Warren's freaking out in the gallery.
240
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:03,000
And indeed, Warren is having a bad trip down there. Stony and Ben and Ellwood try to talk him down, but he's not listening.
241
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Warren says he's fine, though he's armed himself with a power saw.
242
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,000
When he has a bad trip like this, all he has to do is snap his fingers to come out of it.
243
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:16,000
Warren's snap your fingers, says Stony. He does so only this time it's not working.
244
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,000
Warren tells them to back away in his mind. They're all monsters.
245
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,000
He sees them as undead things. He turns onto power saw and threatens the guys.
246
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,000
Then he sees his hand as immutilated mess and decides to sew it off.
247
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:32,000
But this isn't the evil dead. So the guys overpower him, disarming him before he can disarm himself.
248
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Jenny comes in and asks why does Warren take that stuff. Stony tells her she shouldn't judge people.
249
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Then the gallery owner, whose name we don't know, but will appear periodically throughout the rest of the film,
250
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:50,000
starts to explain that there is an inherent risk in every action even crossing the street.
251
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:55,000
A man has to search out to find any rewards in life. Then Jenny notices a sculpture.
252
00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:01,000
Yeah, it's a big, god-y sculpture that she recognizes. Steve made this, she exclaims. That's her brother.
253
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:06,000
The gallery guy knows the artist as the seeker. Stony asks where he can find the seeker.
254
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,000
The gallery owner says Dave knows where to find him.
255
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Now we see Stony, Ben and Elwood accompanying Jenny over the rooftops of San Francisco.
256
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:20,000
Stony and Jenny go into something. It's like maybe a storage area on a rooftop.
257
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,000
It looks like a basement, but that doesn't make sense because it's on the roof.
258
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:29,000
Anyway, inside they find Dave. Dave is wearing a headband and smoking a cigarette.
259
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:34,000
It's a beaded headband made in China that you would see in Native American paraphernalia shops.
260
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,000
Dave is played by Dean Stockwell, by the way.
261
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Stony tells Dave they've been looking for him and Dave asks why?
262
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,000
Because you're my friend and we need you to play with us, says Stony.
263
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Still playing games, Tony. Says Dave. So now we know Stony's name is really Tony.
264
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:54,000
Seems like a really lazy nickname to me, but not inappropriate.
265
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:59,000
No, definitely not. Dave seems like he's being difficult for no reason.
266
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000
He's constantly trying to bait Stony.
267
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Then Dave notices Jenny. Stony explains that she's deaf.
268
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,000
She's lovely, says Dave. She or girl.
269
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Not really, says Stony.
270
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Then you wouldn't mind if she stays here with me, says Dave.
271
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Well, that would be up to her, wouldn't it, says Stony?
272
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Jenny is watching this entire conversation take place and looks visibly hurt every time Stony opens his mouth.
273
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,000
But when Stony says, "I like her," that makes her smile.
274
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,000
And also, that's very correct of him to say that it's up to her.
275
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:31,000
Because it sounds like they're bartering for her. That's not cool.
276
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Dave wants an end to the games. Everything is a plastic hassle.
277
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,000
And they bicker some more.
278
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,000
Dave points to a beam of light coming through a hole in the wall.
279
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Then he covers the hole. That's all there is, he says.
280
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,000
Except we're in a box on a roof in San Francisco, says Stony.
281
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,000
So it seems, says Dave. Stony finally says that they're looking for Steve.
282
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:55,000
You seek the Seeker, says Dave. Then he tells them that the Seeker seeks God.
283
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:02,000
So we end up in church where priest tells Stony and Jenny that he has spoken with the Seeker many times.
284
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,000
They ask what his address is. The priest says he doesn't have an address, but you can find him at the city dump.
285
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,000
Then there's this weird little bit where they beat up with Ben and Elwood.
286
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:18,000
And there's a photographer taking pictures and there's people doing Christ's cosplay, matching a stained glass window.
287
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:24,000
And there's another couple there judging everybody, kind of a horse-faced woman complaining about kids these days.
288
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,000
At the dump, the Scooby-Gang finds a clue.
289
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,000
A sign reading exactly what Jenny's postcard says.
290
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,000
J-E-S-U.
291
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,000
And there's a U that's faded. S.
292
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,000
S-A. Faded V. E-S.
293
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,000
And there's a car painted with the Sugar Cube quote. Ace Detective work kits.
294
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:49,000
So they found what they've been looking for only this car seems to have been abandoned for some time.
295
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,000
It looks like a fire was set inside too.
296
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:56,000
Before they could decide their next move, a bunch of junkyard thugs come out from hiding.
297
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,000
"Well, look at the flower children," says the leader.
298
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,000
The thugs ask what they're doing so far from home.
299
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,000
"We're looking for somebody," says Stoney.
300
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,000
"Who, they ask?" The Seeker.
301
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,000
At this, the thugs laugh. They're looking for him too.
302
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,000
The thugs ask the gang why they want to find him.
303
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,000
Jenny says that he's her brother.
304
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,000
And they finally look at her with some sinister interest.
305
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,000
She demands to know why they want to hurt him. And apparently it's for his obnoxious speeches in the park.
306
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,000
It won't shut up.
307
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Anyhow, they're itching to beat up some dirty hippies and now they do. Or at least they try.
308
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,000
A couple of them grabbed Jenny and dragged her off while the others start to fight.
309
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,000
Except for Elwood, who takes a seat and watches the brawl.
310
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,000
Eventually, Elwood does join the fray though as he hallucinates some nights that he can jost.
311
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,000
And then the fights over. Hippy's one. Thugs is zero.
312
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Having won the battle, Elwood describes his trip to his friends.
313
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:49,000
"You should have seen it. I was a frog. Then a princess kissed me. Then I'll hell broke loose."
314
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,000
But he didn't save the day.
315
00:18:51,000 --> 00:19:00,000
Now we're at a Mumbling Jim gig.
316
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:04,000
They play that Jimmy Hendrix rip off song as Jenny watches rapidly.
317
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:09,000
I don't know if Stony can actually play his guitar, but he knows how to dance with it. He's swaying to the music.
318
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:14,000
The gallery owner asked Jenny if she'd like to dance, but she says she can't dance.
319
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
And that's because she can't hear the music.
320
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,000
Well, it's kind of lucky she can't. I'm lucky for us though.
321
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,000
I think this is the most unbelievable scene in the entire movie.
322
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,000
Well, after the song is over, the band leaves the stage and a farmer comes up and asks,
323
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,000
"Don't you have to have representation?"
324
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,000
You say a farmer, but he says he's a concert promoter.
325
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,000
He's wearing overalls in a cowboy hat.
326
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Well, maybe you went to the thrift store and that was the only thing that fit him.
327
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,000
So apparently this guy is going to be their agent.
328
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,000
And get him a gig at the ballroom, which is apparently the place to play.
329
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,000
Like I said, it's kind of unbelievable the way this happens.
330
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,000
Like a fairy tale.
331
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Especially playing that song.
332
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,000
I know.
333
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,000
Does Jimmy Hendrix have an agent?
334
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,000
Because he should get on that.
335
00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Later, Stony and Jenny are in bed, and Stony tells her that he likes having her there tonight.
336
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000
It's too bad she couldn't hear the music.
337
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:07,000
She asked him what the agent wanted to make a famous like the airplane, he says.
338
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,000
And they'll sell out in the 80s.
339
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:15,000
They kiss and the scene goes blurry as Psych out by the strawberry alarm clock plays once again.
340
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:20,000
And we have another montage of them in bed in a wheat field.
341
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,000
They have swirly, kaleidoscopic sex to Psych out.
342
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Apparently she enjoyed it, but when she wakes the next morning, he's gone.
343
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,000
She gets dressed and bounces downstairs happy to see Stony,
344
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,000
but he's arguing with Dave again and ignoring her.
345
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,000
Stony is trying to convince Dave to rejoin the band.
346
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,000
He tells them that an agent has promised to get them into the ballroom.
347
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000
$2.50 will get you into the ballroom, says Dave.
348
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Anyway, Stony says it's nice to see his old friends in the daylight.
349
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,000
Dave's afraid that Stony is going to sell out for a lot of money.
350
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,000
I don't think he has anything to worry about though.
351
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Dave sees Jenny enter the room and asks Stony what he's going to do about the girl staring at him with all the love in her eyes.
352
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:02,000
Dave warns that soon Jenny will want to settle down, and Stony is going to have to join the nine to fiver.
353
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,000
Stony looks a little alarmed at this.
354
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,000
Dave tells Jenny to tell him how it is.
355
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,000
"I'm just catching a bus," she says.
356
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000
She kneels down next to Stony.
357
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,000
"Hi," she says.
358
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,000
"Hi, how are you?" he replies.
359
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Good, says Jenny.
360
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,000
Then Stony gets up and leaves.
361
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,000
Jenny looks confused and distraught.
362
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Stony leaves with Pandora, Wesley, and Lynn.
363
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,000
And then we see where they're headed.
364
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,000
Yeah, they had to hurry or they'd be late for the funeral.
365
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Oh snap, Ben's dead.
366
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Everyone is gathered around the grave and Ben is in the coffin.
367
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:38,000
A preacher with a fake beard is going on about how he has been denied and revoked the right to assassinate his fellow man.
368
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,000
All the girls weep and then the open casket is carried through the park.
369
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,000
And as some dancing breaks out.
370
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,000
Well, the seeds are performing two fingers pointing at you so they can't help but dance.
371
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,000
True. Oh, and Ben's not really dead.
372
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:54,000
But I have no idea what this goofy fake funeral signifies.
373
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,000
Pandora leans down to give Ben's corpse a kiss.
374
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Ben opens his eyes, grabs her and pulls her into the coffin with him.
375
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,000
Then everyone gather, throws their flowers at them and they all run away.
376
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,000
The party continues back at the pad as Mumble and Jim plays their other song.
377
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,000
No one in the band is a singer though, apparently.
378
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,000
Although they're going to challenge that assertion later.
379
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,000
I still believe it though.
380
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,000
The crowd looks pretty partied out except for Jenny who just looks grossed out.
381
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,000
She floats over to where Stony is playing but he's still ignoring her.
382
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,000
She finally takes the hint and leaves.
383
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Looking for something more productive to do, she goes to the kitchen to start to wash the dishes.
384
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,000
But she's sooner up than by a flirtatious couple.
385
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,000
Also the faucet's broken and it's just spraying water everywhere.
386
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Do you know who the couple is?
387
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,000
No.
388
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,000
It's a gallery guy in Pandora.
389
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
See? Like we said, he keeps popping up.
390
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:47,000
They start making out in another room and then run into the kitchen to flop on the sink as Jenny tries to do the dishes.
391
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,000
And then they run away.
392
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,000
Jenny looks really disgusted now.
393
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,000
So she tries to go to bed but some other guys passed out on Stony's bed.
394
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,000
And now she's really pissed.
395
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,000
So Jenny goes back to Stony.
396
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Stony is still speaking with the band and trying to decide on their set list.
397
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,000
What should come next?
398
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,000
Collideo scope or Red River Dream?
399
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,000
Oh, did they have three songs?
400
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,000
Or is that just a two we've already heard?
401
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,000
Jenny keeps trying to get Stony's attention.
402
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,000
Jenny, what do you want?
403
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,000
Can't you see they were working?
404
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,000
She says she's just wanted to tell him that she's going for a walk.
405
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,000
Okay, take a walk then.
406
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,000
I don't have a leash on you.
407
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,000
Fine, Yells, Jenny.
408
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,000
As she storms off.
409
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,000
She's just been in the same room.
410
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,000
She's been in the same room.
411
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,000
And she's been in the same room.
412
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,000
And she's been in the same room.
413
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,000
And she's been in the same room.
414
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,000
And she's been in the same room.
415
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,000
And she's been in the same room.
416
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,000
And she's been in the same room.
417
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,000
And she's been in the same room.
418
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,000
And she's been in the same room.
419
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,000
And she's been in the same room.
420
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,000
And she's been in the same room.
421
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,000
And she's been in the same room.
422
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000
And she's been in the same room.
423
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,000
And she's been in the same room.
424
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,000
And she's been in the same room.
425
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,000
And she's been in the same room.
426
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000
And she's been in the same room.
427
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,000
And she's been in the same room.
428
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,000
And she's been in the same room.
429
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,000
And she's been in the same room.
430
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,000
And she's been in the same room.
431
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
And she's been in the same room.
432
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,000
And she's been in the same room.
433
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,000
And she's been in the same room.
434
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,000
And she's been in the same room.
435
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,000
And she's been in the same room.
436
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,000
And she's been in the same room.
437
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,000
And she's going to go for a walk.
438
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,000
And she's going to go for a walk.
439
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,000
And she's going to go for a walk.
440
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,000
And she's going to go for a walk.
441
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,000
And she's going to go for a walk.
442
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,000
And she's going to go for a walk.
443
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,000
And she's going to go for a walk.
444
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,000
And she's going to go for a walk.
445
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,000
And she's going to go for a walk.
446
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,000
And she's going to go for a walk.
447
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,000
And she's going to go for a walk.
448
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,000
And she's going to go for a walk.
449
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000
And she's going to go for a walk.
450
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,000
And she's going to go for a walk.
451
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000
Because it's about time he got in the movie.
452
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,000
Stony switches on the light.
453
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,000
And Steve explains that this sculpture is his.
454
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,000
He made it. It belongs to him.
455
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,000
He says God touched his hands when he made it.
456
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,000
And that he's going to take it with him.
457
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,000
This is when Stony realizes that this is the guy that Jenny's been looking for.
458
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Stony says everything is cool.
459
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,000
He's not going to touch him.
460
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,000
And he's not going to stop him from taking whatever he wants.
461
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,000
He tells Steve that his sister is there.
462
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,000
And she's been looking for him.
463
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,000
And Steve was a little high, so he asked for a day to get his head together first.
464
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,000
And he asked that Stony not tell her that he's seen him.
465
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,000
And then we get kind of a weird scene where Steve is remembering Jenny is a little girl.
466
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,000
And when their horrible mother stole her collection of precious objects
467
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000
and cast them into the boiler to burn them up.
468
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,000
It goes on for a really long time.
469
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
And I'm not sure what we're supposed to take away from this.
470
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,000
After that, Steve says that he saw something gross and slimy, ooze out of her mouth.
471
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,000
And that scared everyone.
472
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,000
And that was the last day she heard a sound.
473
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000
Now we're at the ballroom.
474
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:54,000
Mumbling Jim has the gig, but they're not on yet because first we have strawberry alarm clock playing rainy day mushroom pillow and opening for them apparently.
475
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,000
How far they've fallen.
476
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,000
If he's are dancing to their own beats in front of the stage,
477
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,000
and some are getting decorated with fluorescent body paint.
478
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,000
The song ends and Mumbling Jim takes the stage and they play the world's on fire by the strawberry alarm clock.
479
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,000
Man, they should sue.
480
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Steal somebody's song right in front of them.
481
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,000
Oh, what a gracious.
482
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,000
Jenny sits and watches them with stars in her eyes.
483
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,000
Steve, the seeker stumbles into the ballroom and he gets close enough to Jenny to touch her.
484
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,000
But before he can, the junkyard thugs bottom and chase him off.
485
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,000
Jenny never realized he was there.
486
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000
The thugs and Steve take their fight outside.
487
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,000
Then after Mumbling Jim has finished mining their single song,
488
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,000
the band leaves the stage to join the party.
489
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:40,000
We see a girl whispering a private offer into Stoney's ear and he seems to accept it.
490
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Dave asked Stoney why he's so happy.
491
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,000
Is it the fame or the fortune?
492
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,000
Never mind, let's talk about something important.
493
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,000
What color continental are you going to buy?
494
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,000
Can a little man, says Stoney, but Dave knows what's up.
495
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,000
He knows Stoney would like to go upstairs with the girl who was just hanging on his arm.
496
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,000
Only here comes Jenny.
497
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,000
What's he going to tell her?
498
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,000
Is he going to be honest and tell her the truth?
499
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,000
Or maybe say that he hasn't meeting with his agent.
500
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,000
Or he can tell her he loves her.
501
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,000
She'll never know.
502
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,000
Stoney looks torn, especially when Jenny asks him to come sit by her.
503
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,000
She got him a plate of food.
504
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,000
Finally, Stoney begs off.
505
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Looking at Dave, he says after all, we've all got to do our own thing.
506
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,000
Right?
507
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,000
Man, what a free spirit David yells after him as Stoney goes.
508
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,000
Jenny is gutted.
509
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Dave turns to Jenny.
510
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,000
I guess it's just you and me.
511
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Oh no.
512
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Steve returns to the ballroom.
513
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,000
The coast seems to be clear.
514
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,000
But as he goes back out into the open, he finds that he was very incorrect on that matter.
515
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,000
The thugs are lurking in the dark.
516
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,000
So Steve takes off again and they chase him again.
517
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,000
They chase him throughout the neighborhood.
518
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:43,000
He ducks down an alley and grabs a flaming piece of wood from a guy who's burning stuff in a barrel there.
519
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,000
They chase him up an exterior staircase to the upper floor of a building.
520
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000
Once inside, Steve waits until the thugs come in.
521
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,000
Then lights a curtain on fire.
522
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,000
He throws the flaming curtain on them and escapes down the staircase.
523
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,000
As he continues down another alley, he drops the torch as he continues to run.
524
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,000
He goes to wherever he's staying.
525
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,000
We know this because his fire sculpture is there.
526
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,000
And he lights a match and sets it aflame.
527
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Yeah, he puts a fire inside his fire.
528
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,000
Now we're with Dave and Jenny and they're getting cozy in Stoney's room.
529
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,000
Dave took advantage of Jenny's plate of food offer.
530
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,000
Dave dumps some powder into his drink and has a sip.
531
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,000
He tells Jenny to close her eyes.
532
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,000
But she says she can't re-as-lips if she closes her eyes.
533
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,000
He convinces her to do it anyway and he kisses her.
534
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:27,000
She opens her eyes and he tells her that now she's mad at Stoney and she wants to get back in the room.
535
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,000
And he's happy to help her with that.
536
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:36,000
It kiss again and Stoney walks in and he's getting mad at Jenny for engaging in the same free love that he does all the time.
537
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,000
He might be a hypocrite.
538
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000
Then he turns his eye around Dave.
539
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,000
He and Dave argue about Stoney's newfound morality.
540
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:48,000
And then Stoney snarls at Jenny, calling her a bitch and telling her to enjoy herself with Dave.
541
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,000
But don't dirty the sheets until he can get another girl to clean them.
542
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,000
Wow, what a jerk.
543
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,000
Jenny dissolves into tears.
544
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,000
He and Dave bicker some more, though Dave remains mattingly calm.
545
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,000
And then Stoney goes.
546
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:06,000
Dave offers Jenny a shot of his drink, telling her that there's enough in there for two trips.
547
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,000
Jenny downs the whole thing.
548
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000
She doesn't know what she's drinking though.
549
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,000
She was never in on those conversations.
550
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Then she tells Dave the only reason she came here was to find her brother.
551
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,000
Dave pulls a piece of paper from his pocket.
552
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,000
It says God is in the flame.
553
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:23,000
Dave says it's a little esoteric for him, but there's an address on the back.
554
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,000
Jenny scampers down the stairs out of the house and jumps on to a passing cable car.
555
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,000
Stoney sees her go and runs up to his room to ask Dave where she's headed.
556
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Though hazy with drugs, Dave finally reveals that she's tripping on STP.
557
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,000
She's going to seek the seeker.
558
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,000
He laughs.
559
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,000
She hides and you seek her.
560
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:44,000
Stoney can't believe that Dave let her have that trip out on the streets.
561
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,000
She doesn't know this drug and she could be hurt.
562
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,000
He commands Dave to go with him as they try to find her.
563
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,000
As they leave, Ellwood and Ben see them and follow.
564
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,000
As for Jenny, she's going to the address that was on that paper.
565
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,000
When she reaches it, she finds that a crowd is gathered outside the building.
566
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,000
They're talking how someone has set it on fire and won't come out.
567
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,000
She doesn't hear this, but we do.
568
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,000
Those people are just watching it burn.
569
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,000
They're not doing anything.
570
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,000
However, they do try and stop Jenny as she tears past them.
571
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,000
Jenny throws open the door and sees Steve standing amongst the flames.
572
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,000
He smiles and points when he sees her.
573
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,000
Then the ceiling starts to fall and the crowd pulls Jenny away from the house.
574
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,000
She breaks free from the crowd and escapes down an alley.
575
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,000
And then the STP kicks in hard.
576
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,000
She sees flames everywhere she goes.
577
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,000
The whole world is on fire.
578
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,000
The fire is chasing her everywhere.
579
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,000
Down alley, ways up fire escapes.
580
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,000
She jumps into a water reserve tank and it too is a flame.
581
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,000
She twists and turns.
582
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,000
She seems to be falling forever.
583
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,000
Fireballs fly past her head.
584
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,000
And as the sound fades in for our benefit,
585
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,000
we see that she's actually in traffic.
586
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:48,000
An exterior shot tells us that she's in the middle of the Golden Gate Bridge.
587
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,000
Traffic is screaming past her on all sides.
588
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:54,000
Portially, it's not long before the mumbling gym mobile goes by and screeches to a halt.
589
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,000
Stoney Dave Ben and Ellwood jump out.
590
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:01,000
Stoney yells at her not to move and to stay where she is, but she can't hear him.
591
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,000
True.
592
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,000
And she's not looking at anything but fireballs.
593
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,000
She looks terrified and Dave dashes into traffic, grabbing Jenny.
594
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,000
But he sacrifices himself when he pushes her to safety.
595
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,000
It gets creamed by a passing car.
596
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:20,000
He winds up on the shoulder of the Golden Gate Expressway and he's badly injured.
597
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,000
Then he gives his last words, "Reality is a deadly place.
598
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,000
I hope this trip is a good one."
599
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,000
Jenny throws herself into Stoney's arms as memories of frallicking hippies fill the rest of the frame.
600
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,000
And that's the end.
601
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,000
Welcome back to the American International Podcast.
602
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,000
We're talking about Psych out from 1968.
603
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:44,000
Working titles for Psych out included Love is a four letter word, The Love Children, and Love and Hate.
604
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:49,000
According to articles published in Daily Variety and The LA Times, during the period the movie was being made.
605
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,000
In January of 1968, Michael Moats wrote in his column that The Love Children,
606
00:31:53,000 --> 00:32:03,000
would now be titled Psych out.
607
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,000
Apparently, Love Children made the studio think of Busters, not hippies.
608
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:11,000
Psych out marked the first feature film produced by a radio and TV personality Dick Clark.
609
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:17,000
In an interview published in the November 10, 1967, Daily Variety, Clark claimed he wanted to make a film about hippies
610
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:23,000
because they were, quote, "the most influential, most important, and most talked about group of kids in America."
611
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:28,000
He noted that the picture would not deliver preachments, but would accurately depict hippie culture,
612
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:32,000
which he described as great in theory but ultimately ruined by drug abuse.
613
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:38,000
In May of 1967, Daily Variety reported that Jack Nicholson had been hired to write the script for Psych out.
614
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:44,000
However, in late June, Daily Variety announced that Betty Ulius had been brought on to write the screenplay.
615
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:49,000
Nicholson was credited only as an actor in the final film, and these papers had conflicting credits in their reviews.
616
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:54,000
The LA Times credited the screenplay as Betty Ulius and E-Hunter Willet, was story-quadet going to Willet,
617
00:32:54,000 --> 00:33:01,000
while the New York Times stated that the screenplay was written by Betty Tusher and Betty Ulius based on a story by Tusher.
618
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:08,000
The Love Children's Psych out began filming in late October, according to a national news item published October 22, 1967.
619
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:16,000
The November 1, 1967 Daily Variety announced that American international pictures would distribute the Love Children, which had not been yet retitled Psych out.
620
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:29,000
In Dorothy Manners' column published November 16, 1967, She wrote Dick Clark, completing filming The Love Children, reports two extra hairdressers had to be hired to cope with the long-tressed as worn by the male teenagers in the hippie movie.
621
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,000
Teenagers?
622
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,000
Which is interesting because nobody's hair is real in this movie.
623
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:40,000
Yeah, we found out from one of the extra features on the DVD that there were wigs used in almost every case here.
624
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,000
As if we couldn't have been able to tell that on our own.
625
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,000
Yeah, the facial hair was a dead giveaway.
626
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,000
And Jack Nichols never had a ponytail.
627
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,000
It's like a rat tail. It's not really a ponytail.
628
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:55,000
Florewell Muir wrote in her Hollywood column, published December 1, 1967, that quote,
629
00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:02,000
"While Dick Clark was producing the Love Children, Los Angeles Police arrived in a patty wagon to cart the flower children away for obstructing street traffic.
630
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:07,000
Clark had to produce sign clearances from police officials to prevent his extras and actors from being taken into custody."
631
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:16,000
Clark said in an interview, published in the Salt Lake Tribune in March of 1968 that in two years for Psych out, we're shot in Los Angeles, but exteriors were filmed in San Francisco.
632
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:21,000
In an interview with Deseret News young Americans writer Merlin Walker, the then 38-year-old Clark said,
633
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,000
"I am a hippie and you probably are too in some way."
634
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,000
Clark said that being a hippie meant showing individualism.
635
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:35,000
To quote him, "It is showing free thoughts and being a bit of a maverick, hippies have affected appearance, clothing, hair, jewelry, etc., morals, attitudes and actions.
636
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:39,000
He credited the Beatles for making it fashionable to be a cook."
637
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:48,000
The Kansas City Times reported that Clark spoke to a group of local high school journalists and said that by fall most of the hippies will be gone, but the ideas they've promoted and the discussions will continue.
638
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:56,000
The thinking will go on. They've changed our morals, dressed music, politics, religion. They're a terribly influential group of people.
639
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:03,000
The majority of the songs in the film and on the original soundtrack were performed by the storybook, a San Fernando Valley garage band.
640
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:11,000
The version of the pretty song from Psych out on the film soundtrack was recorded by the storybook, but the version heard in the film was by Strawberry Alarm Club.
641
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,000
Psych out was released on March 6, 1968.
642
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:22,000
A.P.s press book recommended theater owners hold a sidewalk psychedelic painting contest in front of their buildings, with a local band higher to entertain,
643
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:27,000
or to have a parade of psychedelic cars with hippies handing out flowers along the route.
644
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:36,000
They also suggested a drawing contest asking entrance to sketch their conception of Strawberry Alarm Club and the Seeds, and hiring a hippie to cover the downtown area in Psych out banners.
645
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:45,000
In December of 2015, the anthology film archives in New York City presented a series of A.I.P. counterculture films, Psych out, the trip and wild in the streets.
646
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:53,000
Taglines for Psych out include, these are the pleasure lovers they'll ask for a dime with hungry eyes, but they'll give you love or nothing.
647
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:57,000
Here, incense and peppermint's by the Strawberry Alarm Club.
648
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:04,000
Taste a moment of madness, listen to the sound of red, and hold the heartbeat of terror in your hand, live it like it is.
649
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,000
Suspense and action in the psychedelic world of the 60s.
650
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:13,000
Have you ever tasted fear or smelled madness? This is the strange world of the pleasure lovers.
651
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,000
The ultimate head trip.
652
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:24,000
In Sam archives autobiography, he wrote that after the release of Psych out, at that point, the major studios finally jumped on the bandwagon, trying to cash in by producing their own psychedelic movies.
653
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:29,000
Although they made a few films about the drug culture, none was ever particularly successful.
654
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:33,000
I think the studios made a big mistake when they put those pictures together.
655
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:40,000
Yes, they got some big names such as Al Pacino de Star, but in film after film, the protagonist drug user came to a bad end.
656
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:48,000
That was a fatal mistake for the majors. The last thing young audiences want is a heavy-handed morality lecture, and they certainly won't pay for one.
657
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,000
From Sam Rackoff, that sounds a little like denying reality.
658
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,000
WG Tutor of the Wilmington News Journal said in his review,
659
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:59,000
"Even the teenagers probably have more sense than to be dragged into believing Psych out.
660
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,000
A psychedelic morality play that teaches the wages of methodrine is probably death.
661
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:11,000
He also complains about how, after an hour of bad noisy rock groups making noise and dozens of shots of colored lights flashing around, the plot starts up again.
662
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:18,000
However, he also wrote that the movie was about a girl named Jeannie looking for her brother David, so perhaps he's not the best authority on Psych out."
663
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:27,000
Marjorie Adams in the Boston Globe wrote that when she saw Psych out, the audience was mostly men, who evidently expected this hippie picture to fulfill their entertainment needs.
664
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:36,000
Actually, it is American International Pictures idea of how to grab off as much money as their previous film on LSD. The trip brought to the small company's coffers.
665
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:45,000
What seemed the truest part of the story is the greasy-haired hippies, clothes you can almost smell from the screen, and kitchen and toilet facilities that would turn the stomach of a Vietnam refugee.
666
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,000
Kevin Thomas of the LA Times wrote,
667
00:37:47,000 --> 00:38:04,000
"Hippies are an inevitable subject for exploitation pictures. What is not so inevitable is that they will be portrayed with any degree of fairness, accuracy or perception that they are in Psych out, is because its makers are aware that young people who constitute the bulk of today's movie audiences are pretty hip themselves.
668
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:23,000
The picture would be worth seeing solely on the basis of its gorgeous kaleidoscopic imagery, worked out by Russian, his gifted cameraman, Las Locovax, and his equally stunning score by Ronald Stein, which incorporates songs by Strawberry Alarm Clock, The Seeds, and Boenzy Creek. Yet, it also has a well-constructed plot and evolved things character development.
669
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Thomas also thought the 103-minute cut was not a second too long."
670
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:42,000
Anna Adler of the New York Times mentioned that the story involving the seeker ends abruptly. "He is standing inside, the drug really begins to take effect, the house is burning, and then almost casually the movie decides to forget the whole thing, very frustrating. Her brother may be burning still.
671
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,000
But she wrote,
672
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:58,000
"The film, directed by Richard Rush, has considerable elan. There are beads and spangles and prisms and fabric and pads, the on-turnage and the out-freaking leave room for a lot of surreal and science fiction effects. Though a Mist Strasper's STP delusions are not very imaginative."
673
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:03,000
But the reviewers in local Bay Area papers commented on Psych out's depiction of the hate ashery scene.
674
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:18,000
Jean Miller in the San Francisco Examiner wrote, "Very little of the hippie rationale is meaningfully explored in Psych out, a Hollywood fantasy about the life of the denizens of the hate ashery. Indeed, it resembles nothing so much as a lavish costume party, with hippies clad in glorious psychedelic garments,
675
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:24,000
prologuing in the park to the music of loud rock bands, whether or not making love or taking drugs that is."
676
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:35,000
With trite symbolism that frequently becomes absurd, director Richard Rush underlines over and over his superficial view of the hippie phenomenon. No effort to probe their motivations is made.
677
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:39,000
But Robert Taylor in the Oakland Tribune blamed the script for a lack of authenticity.
678
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,000
He wrote,
679
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:51,000
"Sych out American International's idea of what life is like in the hate ashery is not as bad a picture as you would expect it to be. The main problem is the script, the dialogue like a Saturday evening post-writer's idea of hippie language.
680
00:39:51,000 --> 00:40:03,000
They're all living in a house which is like nothing ever seen in the hate ashery, and decorated it seems by amber, crumbly and fitch. And all the hippies are in their mid-20s, clean, smiling, charmingly dressed and smoking nothing stronger than asthma cigarettes.
681
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:16,000
He went on to say of the neighborhood as depicted in the movie. It all looks pretty clean and pure, with St Ignatius Church in the background and the sun filtering through the trees in the park. There aren't any orgies in case that was what you're hoping to see."
682
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:26,000
The Ultimate Movie Rankings website reports that "Sych out" took in 13.9 million in adjusted dollars at the box office, and variety referred to the movie as a sleeper critical success.
683
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:35,000
"Yeah, I'm not sure it was a really big success, and I don't know what the budget was, so it probably made some money, but it wasn't huge. It's what I'm gathering."
684
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:48,000
Alright, Jeff, let's talk about how we liked "Sych out." You think it was groovy or not very groovy?
685
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:56,000
I thought it was pretty groovy. One of the difficulties we had when we started was there were two different cuts to this film, and we weren't sure which one we needed to watch.
686
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:08,000
And I couldn't really tell from the reading material that we had based on this movie. It looks like it was cut after it was released, but also some people saw the cut version somewhere.
687
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:12,000
So we opted for the longer hour 43 minute version.
688
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:22,000
It seems really long though, and when I think of what must have been cut, I think of all those extended montages where it doesn't move the plot forward in any meaningful way.
689
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:26,000
It's just trying to say, "Wow, these are hippies, and this is what they do."
690
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:31,000
Yeah, but that was also the most interesting part of the movie because the plot wasn't much of anything.
691
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:41,000
And yet, I got impatient waiting for them to end. I guess you have to look at it two ways. If you just want something to visually feast on, it's great.
692
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:45,000
But if you're looking for getting the plot over and done with, it's not that great.
693
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,000
Yeah, "Sych out barely qualifies as a narrative film."
694
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:55,000
True. It's more a series of vignettes. This happens over here and over there is something else is happening.
695
00:41:55,000 --> 00:42:00,000
There's a fake funeral. There's a concert, maybe.
696
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:05,000
Yeah, the actual plot points that they do have kind of interferes with the flow of the film.
697
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:11,000
Yeah, we keep getting interrupted with our psychedelic visions to have to find out what Jenny's doing.
698
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,000
It's a deaf girl who's trying to find her brother.
699
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:21,000
And then the fact that they never really satisfy that, like the one reviewer said, the movie just decides to end without any resolution.
700
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:28,000
I mean, yeah, he probably died in there, but they never were reunited in a meaningful way, aside from getting to see each other.
701
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:35,000
And that whole setup about what her mother did to her, there's fire in that.
702
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,000
And it seems like the fire that he created is related to that.
703
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,000
And then they all died in a fire and Jenny hallucinates fire.
704
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:45,000
But what it all means is really open to you to interpret.
705
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:51,000
It is really open. The whole film is kind of a celebration of ritual, but they don't give you any guidance.
706
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:55,000
It's just they present it and you can interpret it however you would like.
707
00:42:55,000 --> 00:43:00,000
Right, I didn't notice that there was some foreshadowing when I watched it the second time.
708
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,000
The ending where Jenny stuck in the middle of the street.
709
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:07,000
In the beginning of the movie, she almost gets hit by a car because she's standing in the street.
710
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:14,000
And then when she's talking to the gallery owner after Warren has his bad trip, he says that there's danger and even crossing the street.
711
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:19,000
And then that's how the movie ends with her almost getting creamed on the Golden Gate Bridge.
712
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:23,000
So it seemed like they were trying to establish a little bit of a flow through there.
713
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:27,000
But the script doesn't really give you a lot more than that to work with.
714
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:31,000
No, because most of the film is a series of montages.
715
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,000
Well, we know it cut out like 20 minutes, right?
716
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,000
15 to 20 minutes, yeah.
717
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,000
And they must have just cut out all those montages.
718
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,000
And for one movie, that's a lot of montage.
719
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:47,000
Yeah, it really is. But they also have the music mostly by Strawberry Alarm Clock playing during these moments.
720
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:53,000
And though they're different songs most of the time, they all sound very, very similar to each other.
721
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,000
The Strawberry Alarm Clock don't have a wide range.
722
00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:00,000
No, but I did appreciate the music. It was really nice to listen to.
723
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,000
I like those songs.
724
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:07,000
It was. And as Monotonous as it was, it's better than using the same song over and over again like Bobby Joe and the Outlaw did.
725
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:12,000
Now they did repeat songs a few times. We heard the fake purple haze at least three times.
726
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,000
And then I think they played the Psych out theme twice.
727
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:16,000
Right.
728
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,000
And there was both by the Strawberry Alarm Clock.
729
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:23,000
They could have like switched it up and had the other band play it for one of those times.
730
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:24,000
But no.
731
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:28,000
Yeah, the one song The Seeds plays in the concert in the park.
732
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,000
The funeral in the park, you mean?
733
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,000
Yeah.
734
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,000
Well, I don't think they were invited to the funeral.
735
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,000
I think you just happened to be there playing or it was just a hallucination.
736
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,000
They weren't there at all. They just.
737
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:38,000
Oh, they were there.
738
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:39,000
Okay.
739
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:44,000
It's hard to know what's real because a lot of those montages are just people tripping.
740
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,000
And we don't know what's real.
741
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:51,000
At the end, when Jenny has her bad trip and she thinks she's swimming and then she's falling
742
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:55,000
and then fireballs are screaming past her and then she's in traffic.
743
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:59,000
That's about the only time it ever resolves into something real.
744
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,000
A trip, I mean.
745
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:08,000
Well, I guess we're to assume that any trips that we see prior to that last one are just LSD.
746
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:09,000
Right.
747
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:15,000
And the psych out of the title is Jenny's trip on the STP.
748
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,000
Yeah, that's a real thing, by the way.
749
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,000
I thought maybe they made it up.
750
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:22,000
They just looked at a can of motor oil and said, oh, that's a good name for a drug.
751
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:23,000
But no, it's real.
752
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,000
And it was a real problem for a while.
753
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:32,000
I don't know if this portrayed an accurate view of hippie life in 1968 in the Hadesbury area.
754
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:37,000
Well, we have the view of two newspaper columnists that said it didn't.
755
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:41,000
But their newspaper columnists, their white collar people, they don't live on the streets.
756
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,000
So their opinion may or may not be valid.
757
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:49,000
But they can say it doesn't look like Hadesbury that they see every day.
758
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,000
So that's possibly correct.
759
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:56,000
But yeah, and the fact that Sam R. Cough said this wasn't a morality play.
760
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:57,000
And then they don't do that.
761
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:58,000
I don't think that's true.
762
00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:59,000
No, he always does that.
763
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,000
I know.
764
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:05,000
So the audacity to say that they're better than the other studios because they don't do that.
765
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:09,000
When they do, well, it was his autobiography.
766
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:13,000
So you can say whatever he wants, but you had to take it with a grain of salt.
767
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:14,000
I don't know.
768
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:20,000
This seems to feel more like it was a caricature of what the hippie movement was at the time.
769
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:21,000
Yeah.
770
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,000
It's Dick Clark's idea.
771
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:30,000
And he may have been down with modern music, but I don't know if he was down with modern lifestyle.
772
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,000
I think he was always a little square.
773
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:33,000
Right.
774
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,000
And he was a little bit like a guy.
775
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,000
And these are people who have nothing.
776
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,000
They live for nothing.
777
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:40,000
They just exist.
778
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,000
They're just being their protest signs don't even have words on them.
779
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:44,000
They can't read.
780
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:45,000
They can't write.
781
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:46,000
I don't know.
782
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:51,000
It did seem very superficial and not very authentic.
783
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,000
But I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.
784
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,000
It's not a documentary.
785
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,000
And as a film, I think it's actually beautiful.
786
00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,000
Visually, yes.
787
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:02,000
It's a story that keeps me from loving this movie though.
788
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:12,000
Like you said, if it had just been this swirly montage of hippie life and all the kaleidoscopic visions, the colors, the lights, the sounds, that would have been pretty cool.
789
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,000
That's about three quarters of the film.
790
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,000
It is.
791
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,000
They keep jamming it up with the stupid plot.
792
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,000
So with the better script, I think this could have been a really good movie.
793
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,000
But it just went for such a simple thing.
794
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:27,000
I didn't quote this, but we're not an addler from the New York Times.
795
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:43,000
But the script writer has really imposed Western movie values on all the action as opposed to, I guess, maybe Eastern philosophy or hippie philosophy where, you know, there have to be a fight and there has to be a rescue at the end.
796
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:47,000
And to her, it didn't really feel like it was coming from a hippie's perspective.
797
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,000
What do you think about the acting here?
798
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:54,000
Of course, I've Jack Nicholson as the weary and disillusioned stoner.
799
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,000
You never tire of coding that line from the terror.
800
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:58,000
Nope.
801
00:47:58,000 --> 00:47:59,000
I think he's fine.
802
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,000
He seems way too old for the part.
803
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:04,000
I think everyone was at least mid-twenties.
804
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,000
I think Susan Strasberg was good.
805
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:07,000
I think she's awesome in this.
806
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:08,000
Yeah, she's very good.
807
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:11,000
She's a very small person compared to everyone else.
808
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:15,000
And I don't know how old she is here, but she does look like a young helpless girl.
809
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,000
But nonetheless, has a fiery temper.
810
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,000
And she says so much with her face.
811
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:24,000
Just in the expressions every time Stony opens his mouth and disappoints her.
812
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:31,000
I kind of wonder from the stuff that we learned from the seeker character who said that she went through this trauma and then never heard a sound again.
813
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:38,000
If her hearing loss was psychosomatic, it doesn't matter in the long run, but it just made me think that maybe that was the point.
814
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,000
I think that's what they intended it to be.
815
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:41,000
Right.
816
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,000
But she can't hear.
817
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:47,000
Because obviously she would have heard Stony say that he was going to kill her and eat her.
818
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:48,000
And she didn't.
819
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:58,000
And the movie does a really good job of making sure that she's seeing the faces of the people talking to her because they could have slipped and had someone say something in her here.
820
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:02,000
Or act like she heard it when there was no way it could have happened.
821
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:03,000
So they paid attention to that.
822
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:04,000
Right.
823
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,000
Even so simple at one point she tells Stony that she can't hear him in the dark.
824
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:11,000
Yeah, he turns the light out or she steps out of the light and she can't read his lips anymore.
825
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,000
So that was handled pretty well.
826
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:21,000
And her voice is perfectly natural. And I think that is because it's a psychosomatic injury that made her deaf and she wasn't deaf from birth.
827
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,000
So what do you think of Adam work in this?
828
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,000
This is the first time we've seen him play a halfway decent guy.
829
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:30,000
We saw him previously in Hell's Bells and he was the villain of the story Tampa.
830
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:36,000
Yeah, he and Dave both operate as Stony's conscience in this movie where he's looking out for everybody.
831
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:40,000
And when Stony does something jerky to Jenny, he's going to call him on it.
832
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:47,000
In the beginning where he and Elwood are laughing as Stony suggests that Jenny might be deaf because they think it's offensive.
833
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,000
They think he's making fun of her.
834
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:56,000
And I think that he's a really good guy, but he doesn't really have much to do in the plot aside from that.
835
00:49:56,000 --> 00:50:00,000
He doesn't evolve as a character and it's the same with Elwood.
836
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:06,000
He's there to be the black guy and crack tasteless racial jokes about himself if you ask me.
837
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,000
Yeah, that was an odd choice.
838
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:12,000
I think he could have been a really great character because he was incredibly funny.
839
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:16,000
And he did get to save the day during the junkyard fight inadvertently.
840
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:19,000
And that was next Julian who will see again in Savage 7.
841
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:22,000
And we'll see a lot of him in the Mac as well.
842
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,000
He also wrote Cleopatra Jones.
843
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:25,000
Oh, wow, really?
844
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:26,000
Yeah.
845
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:27,000
That's not AIP unfortunately.
846
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:35,000
I really liked him in this movie and I would love to have seen more of him, less of Stony and Jenny and their romance.
847
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:38,000
All right. Now it's time to do what we do.
848
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,000
We're going to rate the psych out on our AIP scale where a is awesome.
849
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,000
I as intermediate and ps pathetic.
850
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:44,000
What do you think Jeff?
851
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,000
Well, I do like this movie.
852
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:49,000
The plot is a little tight, but visually it's stunning.
853
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:53,000
It's very abstract, but there's a lot to look at in this film.
854
00:50:53,000 --> 00:51:00,000
The characters may all look a little clean to be real hippies, but I think we prefer to watch that than dirty hippies, wouldn't we?
855
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,000
Get smelled them from the screen.
856
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:10,000
I think the acting is all very good. I think the characters are as well developed as they can be for such a trait script.
857
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,000
We didn't really talk about Bruce Dern.
858
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,000
Because he's not really in the movie.
859
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:15,000
He just pops up at the end.
860
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:22,000
He's not, but his character is just a plot device where he could be a really interesting guy.
861
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,000
We don't see him when he's straight.
862
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,000
The only time we see him is when he's on something.
863
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,000
So we don't get to really know him.
864
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:29,000
Know the real Steve.
865
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:33,000
And the fact that we don't get to see Jenny and Steve interact at all.
866
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:36,000
I think it's one of the worst choices that the script writers made.
867
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:39,000
Anyway, I adore this movie.
868
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,000
I'm going to give it an A for awesome.
869
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:44,000
Why are you looking at me like that?
870
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:47,000
Because I'm not going to give it an A.
871
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:48,000
I knew you wouldn't.
872
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,000
I appreciate your point of view.
873
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,000
And I agree with the visuals of it.
874
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:57,000
But for me, if a movie doesn't have a story, and maybe that's just my hang up.
875
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:02,000
I like the story to make sense to go somewhere, to be about something that I care about.
876
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:08,000
And the fact that it was this girl looking for her brother, it has never resolved.
877
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,000
That's the whole point of the movie.
878
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,000
And they really dropped the ball on that one.
879
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:17,000
And the rest of it just seemed to be day to day stuff.
880
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,000
There's nothing really going through.
881
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:24,000
We don't know why Dave and Stoney are so antithetical.
882
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:27,000
We don't know why they're so angry at each other all the time.
883
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:30,000
Because we don't really know any backstory.
884
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:34,000
We just kind of eavesdrop on a few moments in their lives.
885
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:42,000
And if you want a narrative movie where there's a set up a climax or resolution, this is not your movie.
886
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:47,000
I mean, the whole point of watching a movie for this podcast is us telling the story of the movie to me.
887
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,000
And the story is just so unsatisfying.
888
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:53,000
I would bump it up a half grade for the reasons that you like it.
889
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:57,000
There is good acting, there is good visuals.
890
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:02,000
However, I do think that they kind of go on a bit too long for me, not for you.
891
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,000
So I don't adore this movie.
892
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,000
I think it's good, but not great.
893
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:07,000
So I give it an eye.
894
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:08,000
Sorry.
895
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:11,000
Well, you're right that the movie lacks a proper ending.
896
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:14,000
But it has a definite beginning.
897
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:15,000
It's Jenny's story.
898
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:18,000
We're with her from the beginning and she arrives in town.
899
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:19,000
That's true.
900
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,000
But there's just not much more to it.
901
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,000
She doesn't find her brother.
902
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,000
Well, all fairness, she's not looking that hard.
903
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:27,000
No, nobody is.
904
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,000
That everything happens by accident.
905
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,000
When it falls into her lap, she'll follow it.
906
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,000
But she's not out there searching.
907
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:37,000
What she hooks up with Mumbling Jim in company because she is.
908
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:41,000
They said they'll do it because she is going to the last known address.
909
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,000
And that's pretty much it that end.
910
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:44,000
Right.
911
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:48,000
And she kind of just goes with the flow until some information comes her way.
912
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:49,000
I know.
913
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:50,000
And she's deaf.
914
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:54,000
So she's not like she can go around interviewing a bunch of people.
915
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,000
And she's a young girl alone.
916
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,000
That's not very safe.
917
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,000
The police were looking for her.
918
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:01,000
I wonder who reported her missing.
919
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:02,000
Must have been her mother.
920
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:03,000
Right.
921
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:04,000
But her mother hated her.
922
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:08,000
So like I said, there's just not much backstory here.
923
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,000
What we get seems like it could not even be true.
924
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,000
We have an unreliable narrator.
925
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:15,000
So I don't know if any of that stuff really happened.
926
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:19,000
And the fact that they introduced this but they don't have any follow through with it.
927
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,000
I was very annoyed by that.
928
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,000
I wanted to know what the fire meant.
929
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:28,000
Well, the story is just Jenny being dropped into this new life.
930
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,000
And she has a mission while she's there.
931
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,000
And she follows when it's convenient.
932
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:33,000
Right.
933
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:36,000
It just seemed unsatisfying to me.
934
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:37,000
That's the only word I can use.
935
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:38,000
I'm sorry.
936
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,000
I can't describe it any better.
937
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,000
I wanted to have some meaning.
938
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:45,000
Just me trying to figure out the symbolism.
939
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:48,000
The symbolism didn't really seem to have any ultimate meaning.
940
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:51,000
And that's just really frustrating for me.
941
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,000
So if you have any interpretation of the symbolism in Psych Up.
942
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:57,000
You can contact us using our website, app.com.
943
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,000
While there you can view trailers,
944
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,000
see posters and lobby cards,
