Summerween Memories & What Comes Next

WEBVTT
00:00:02.799 --> 00:00:07.599
Tonight we're gathering around the bonfire for one final summer wing conversation.
00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:18.320
We've spent the summer watching movies, competing in cabin challenges in our Discord, celebrating horror, and creating some wonderfully chaotic memories with our community, including actually full body paint.
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:25.120
Now that the smoke is beginning to clear, we want to slow things down and spend some time together outside of our usual review format.
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:28.079
We're gonna just catch up on what life has been like this summer.
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:30.160
I want to know what you did last summer.
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:39.920
Revisit some of our favorite moments from Summerween, open the mailbag, answer some questions from our listeners, and we're also gonna look ahead of what's coming next for our podcast once we leave camp behind.
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:45.920
So pull up a log, settle in beside the fire, and join us for the Summerween Bonfire.
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:52.240
My name is Chris, I'm your friendly neighborhood slasher enthusiast, and this week I'm joined by the classic horror connoisseur Sean.
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:54.479
I never drink wine.
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:57.039
And the paranormal paramour pinks.
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:00.560
If I have any more fun today, I don't think I'm gonna be able to take it.
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:03.759
Folks, obviously, summer has been different for us.
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:17.599
This is the first year that we've taken a break without really taking a break by experimenting with new things and allowing ourselves to discover new approaches to our content and also reconnect with different parts of our lives.
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:22.159
But I think this is an important moment to just reflect on what life has been like for the past couple months.
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:24.159
Yeah, it's been quite the summer.
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:26.799
It's been a very hot summer in South Florida.
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:28.879
Has it literally been a hot, ghoul summer?
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.519
A hot, ghoul, sweaty ghoul summer.
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:33.040
Alright, I'm not afraid to say it.
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:36.879
Oh yeah, it has been definitely super hot for sure.
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:41.920
Honestly, I haven't done like a whole lot of crazy stuff this summer, unfortunately.
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:46.480
I've been working a lot this summer, trying to hit some concerts before the end of the summer.
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:48.959
Gonna go see Rob Zombie tomorrow.
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:50.319
Trying to catch some movies.
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:55.519
Obviously, we've been talking about all the different like summer horror movies, so we've been kind of watching all those.
00:01:55.599 --> 00:02:07.040
It's funny, we just we just talked, or you know, we just recently did the Jason ranking, and then like a couple days later, I saw that like they bundled all the Friday the 13th for$12.
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:09.439
So I just I was like, you know what?
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:12.080
I might as well snag that digital bundle.
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:19.759
But is it every single Friday the 13th, or is it like the main ones and then Freddie versus Jason or separate?
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:25.919
Yeah, it's like the main ones that go all the way to I think Jason goes to hell, and then that's that's it.
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.759
It's like 12 bucks, but it's still a lot of movies for 12 bucks, like eight movies.
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:40.400
I've been itching to get, and this has been for years, and I've for some reason never fucking pulled the trigger, the Scream Factory collection of the entire box set for Friday the 13th.
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:47.520
I've been I need to look up right now if that's still available because that has been something that's been like very deeply on my mind.
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:49.120
Oh yes, I can still get it.
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:50.639
There's only 16 left in stock.
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:51.280
I should do that.
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:59.520
Listen, life has been what is a movie where David Spade, I think, as a child actor, it says like it's it's knuckling futs.
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:04.080
That's been life lately, being something you can really love that.
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:05.039
Yep, I sure can.
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:14.159
Um, I think personally, what I what I found very fulfilling this summer is just how much this community has really bound together.
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:28.240
Part of I think where I've needed a little bit of a break has been my dad's facing some health things that I don't want to go into a lot of detail about, but it's it's certainly opened up a lot of wounds.
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:37.599
And yeah, you just I think when you get to a certain point in life, you have to pause and just like really let yourself feel your feelings and process things, as we have tended to do on this podcast.
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:53.039
But what I think is really cool is that having the fun with both of you, experimenting with new and different episodes, getting to make all the tier lists that we have, all the rankings that we have, really seeing our community come together in our Discord server, that has been fucking phenomenal.
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:55.439
It's like it really filled my cup in so many ways.
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:57.439
I started playing video games again.
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:00.560
Holy shit, I forgot I actually like those things.
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:03.120
And you're good at it.
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:05.199
You're a phasmophobia queen.
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:08.159
Dog, I'm like level 100 in phasmophobia.
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:09.599
I've been playing less than two months.
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:10.639
That's wild.
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:13.520
I wasn't ready for us to be in the triple digits.
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:19.199
Yeah, I'm gonna be honest, I was getting carried there for a while, but now I can do the carrying.
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:20.720
Nice, nice.
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:21.839
That's awesome.
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:22.560
That's awesome.
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:32.240
But I I think it's really special, and I think it's like a bigger testimony to like what we have and like what our community has built over now almost 10 years.
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:44.560
So next year is gonna be our 10th anniversary, and even in life's craziest fucking moments, this has continued to be a an area of life that I think has poured a lot into me personally.
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:45.920
So Sean, thank you both for that.
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:47.199
Thank you for having us.
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:48.639
I mean, absolutely.
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:55.439
It's funny because even I don't know if you feel this way, Sean, but sometimes I just stop and think, like, wow, we've been here for a few years now.
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:57.199
Like, that's that's crazy.
00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:03.600
I also feel like I just joined yesterday and then other days I'm like, wow, it's we've been on this ride for a bit and it's been great.
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:08.000
I think I definitely have had quite the fucking summer.
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:17.600
Mercury retrograde, not to be such a paranormal paramour right now, but I do believe it because I definitely faced it, and that was brutal.
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:24.800
And honestly, what kind of like you know, rejuvenated me, similar to you, Chris, was like just jumping in the Discord.
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:26.879
And sometimes I wouldn't really respond, I'll be honest.
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:28.720
And I do want to do be better about that.
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.759
But I'm watching and I'm reading and I get a laugh.
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:41.600
Like I'll just listen and I'll like to what people are saying, read through the comments, laugh to myself when I'm when I'm at doctors' appointments or in between meetings and things.
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:45.839
And man, every one of our listeners are just funny as hell, man.
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:50.800
Like the this whole like camp war thing, the color war thing was so fun to watch.
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:57.759
And I I really just enjoy the community that you, Chris, have definitely like started and fostered and we've all contributed to now.
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:10.959
So it definitely has helped for the hard times of having to pay thousands of dollars to remove mold in your house and you know, having to pay for a new car and all of the adulting things that happen when you're in your 30s.
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:16.879
Yeah, because I don't know if anyone has ever had as much consecutive car issues as you have in the past six days.
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:18.560
I hope that no one does.
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:20.240
I hope that no one does, actually.
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:23.439
And this week was the mold remediation.
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:30.560
So trust me, it's almost evolved from car to now, oh, my house is a danger zone, but we're doing good, folks.
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:32.399
And now I have wisdom teeth surgery next.
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:33.759
So really we're we're on the up.
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:35.199
I think you've been hexed.
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:37.759
I know there's so much going on there.
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:39.839
I think I've been hexed.
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:44.879
I need to do a cleaning and a like a whole egg thing to myself, as it turns out.
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:47.279
A plague on both your houses.
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:48.639
You're iced, really.
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:51.439
But everyone's humor on the Discord is what's getting me through.
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:52.399
So please don't stop.
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:53.759
Please, seriously, don't stop.
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:54.720
You know what?
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:58.959
Life be grim, but sometimes our sense of humor is be grimmer.
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:00.800
And that's really what gets us through.
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:08.399
I I do have one last update, which is kind of fucking wild and a little unexpected, and I'm very actually very, very happy about it.
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:14.319
My nephew has moved in with me for his senior year of high school, and okay, another Chris Rojas.
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:18.000
Now there's two of us living in the same place, and it's fucking hilarious.
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:24.800
And just earlier he was like, Hey, let's figure out your fucking TikTok because what the hell are you doing with that?
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:29.759
I can help you with that, and it sounds like he's gonna be the infernal intern, Chris.
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:30.720
That's awesome.
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:32.399
Love that so much.
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:33.600
We need the youth.
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:35.360
Help us out, help us out.
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.639
The youth will get us through when it comes to social media.
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:41.759
He was saying some things, and I'm like, Man, you're a really good kid.
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:43.439
You're so nice for helping me with this.
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:45.759
Thanks for not being a jerk about it.
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:47.600
Oh, that's awesome.
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:48.639
That's awesome news.
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:51.759
Bro, I came home the other day and he like had my kitchen cleaned.
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:53.279
I'm like, what the fuck is this?
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:54.639
This is amazing.
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:57.199
What kind of kids are these, man?
00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:02.480
I'd tell you in high school, a senior year of high school, I wasn't cleaning a goddamn kitchen, I can tell you that much.
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:04.000
He's so grateful.
00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:05.279
He or he okay.
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:08.160
This is what and I'm sorry, I'm gonna move on after this.
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:31.680
This kid got into my closet, and I gave him half of my closet, and he organized my shirts by nice non-horror, all my horror shirts, then all my regular shirts, and then within the horror shirts, he categorized it by franchise, sleeve type, color, and even made it organized from most shirts to least shirts within the franchise.
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:36.080
So, like Halloween, then Black Christmas, then Terrifier, all the way down to like my random ones.
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:37.279
This kid's fucking great.
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:38.000
That's awesome.
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:44.639
I'm with the shirt organization because I have all of my band shirts hanging in alphabetical order.
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:48.240
I have my horror shirts separated into one segment.
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:49.600
I don't have it by franchise.
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:52.960
I don't think I have enough to separate by franchise for horror exactly.
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:58.080
You know, I have like one ones of a lot, but I definitely I definitely respect the organization.
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:00.960
I have to ask, he must be an Earth sign, right?
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:01.919
Or maybe an Aquarius.
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:02.559
He's an Aries.
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:04.320
An Aries.
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:05.440
Oh, okay.
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:12.399
I I sometimes I'm really hard on on Aries because they really could be organized, but they're also very good at delegating.
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:15.840
So I I sometimes forget that they are capable of just doing it themselves.
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:19.120
Maybe that's where it comes in with him asking me what I'm doing with my TikTok.
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:22.080
But yeah, yeah, I mean, we gotta do his full birth chart.
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:27.120
One other thing that I found really exciting, and I think this is just like such an exciting moment.
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:30.720
You all are familiar with the good Lord Barnes and Noble.
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:32.720
So I went on a hunt the other day.
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:35.440
I found a Barnes and Noble exclusive.
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:40.480
You all know how I'm a fucking hoe for some horror movie novelizations, right?
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:41.919
Okay, yeah.
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:42.960
What you get?
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:47.360
A 2018 Halloween leather hardcover.
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:48.320
Nice.
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:50.720
And I got it on a sale with her 50% off.
00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:55.759
Whoa! I highly recommend you go fucking get this while you can.
00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:02.000
This is gonna go onto my shelf next to the illustrated novelization I have of the original Halloween.
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:08.080
So listen, we're getting Summerween is winding down, we're getting into the spooky season, and the retailers are stepping it up.
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:08.720
Gotta love it.
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:10.639
Good old Barnes and Noble.
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:15.919
But looking into Summerween and all that has gone down, we have done some stuff.
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:21.200
So we kick things off with the Purge Anarchy to bring in, although the purge doesn't take place during 4th of July.
00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:23.039
It feels very 4th of July coded.
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:29.759
Then we got into our Summerween starter pack, Evil Dead Burn, our draft list of our best summer horror movies.
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:32.720
We then finally got to Deep Blue Sea.
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:41.120
We did a summer camp slashers tier list, and of course, we made our definitive Jason Voorhees ranking.
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:42.159
It was fun.
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:42.960
It was stacked.
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:43.759
Yeah, it was fun.
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:44.799
It was stacked.
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:45.759
It was fun.
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:51.840
I think uh I got actually a lot of positive feedback from friends that really enjoyed the Jason Voorhees ranking.
00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:56.639
I think they all were in unison that they were like unsure how we got to our number one ranking.
00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:58.000
It was the law of averages.
00:10:58.080 --> 00:10:59.120
I was like, this is what happens.
00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:01.759
So many people have said you have to do Michael Myers.
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:03.440
So it has to happen.
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:04.399
It's gonna happen.
00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:05.200
We're gonna do it.
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:09.679
I am actually very excited for when September comes around and we start talking about Halloween the game.
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.919
But Michael Myers for sure, we have to see when we're gonna release it during the month.
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:25.200
I don't know if we want to do it just for Halloween or just earlier in October, but I can absolutely see a world in which I get fucking annihilated in emotionally for having to rank these guys.
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:26.320
It's gonna be tough.
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:29.919
I'm gonna have to say bad things about Michael Myers that I never really want to say.
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:32.559
And I'm just gonna get annihilated for who knows.
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:36.240
I'm just another franchise where I'm gonna get flamed, I'm sure.
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:42.320
We need to also do the watch party or whatever we want to do about resurrection.
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:42.799
Yeah.
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:44.399
We need to get this recorded.
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:52.240
Everyone's talking about me needing to see it, and I'm just like, I'm scared because what what if I don't like it?
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:53.200
What if I love it?
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:54.320
What if I shock you all?
00:11:54.559 --> 00:12:05.039
I think what we're gonna have to do is just do the watch-along episode that we plan on doing, but we'll have to make sure that we make a video version of it so that people can see your wild fucking face when you see what happens in this movie.
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:06.480
Oh god, I'm so scared.
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:07.840
I'm excited though.
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:10.559
We did have some great content that for the summer ween.
00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:14.960
I really enjoyed I really enjoyed the Jason Voorhees ranking, though.
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:16.639
Shockingly, maybe to some.
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:17.919
That was a really fun one to do.
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:21.279
And the Summer Camp Slashers tier list, I've already started.
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:24.000
I watched, was it Final Girls?
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:27.759
The one with the with the like they're in the movie.
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:29.360
That one was actually really funny.
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:30.960
I enjoyed that one a lot.
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:32.879
It was super cute.
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:36.159
It was super cute, and something that I was really proud of.
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:41.360
I will actually circle back to that tier list in in just a moment, thinking about like the draft that we did.
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:52.639
We had a trivia night in our Discord, and something that we've actually done is is transformed our Discord server into camp hackerslash, and we had a red cabin and a blue cabin.
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:56.799
They got to think of their own mascots, they each had their private chat.
00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:04.480
We had the red cabin pearls from Pearl in the X franchise, and we had the Blue Cabin Mothman.
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:09.440
Shout out to the camp counselors, Chella Nathan, who brought their teams together.
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:11.679
We had me hosting Mystery Theater.
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:18.639
Nathan, when I had a bunch of crazy stuff happen in a week, stepped in, actually hosted like a whole Twilight Marathon watch party.
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:20.320
Absolutely fucking iconic.
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:28.799
So we had all this going on, and we actually capped Summer Ween and our Color Wars challenge with a bit of trivia.
00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:40.639
And when I tell you that the people did their homework, one of the questions I made was to write two lines of lyrics from the song that Angela Baker sings in Sleep Away Camp 2, Unhappy Campers.
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:53.919
Shout out to Banshee in our Discord who put the whole team on her fucking back and was the trivia MVP, not only with perfect attendance for every event in Summerween, but she wrote the lyrics to the whole damn song.
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:57.519
And people were actually citing Final Girls.
00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:01.120
And so there were actually Final Girls specific questions in the trivia night.
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:02.639
Absolutely incredible.
00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:10.000
Like I was blown away by a how much everybody showed up, not just for the podcast, but like for each other to support their team.
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:12.799
I mentioned earlier we had uh full body plane.
00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:19.840
Our dear patron Lucas in our Discord actually painted his skin blue to get spirit, Cabin spirit points for his team.
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:21.440
I'm still thinking about that picture.
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:23.360
That was whatever it takes.
00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:24.639
Whatever it takes.
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:33.600
As of this episode recording and posting, we actually have a few days left still of the competition and the color wars in Camp Hackerslash.
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:36.720
So our official winner is gonna be announced on August 31st.
00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:42.960
But let me tell you, the red cabin pulled away by winning trivia, and they have a significant lead.
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:43.519
Wow.
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:45.679
Lucas is gonna keep showing up in blue paint.
00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:47.039
I know what are we gonna do.
00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:48.159
I really love that.
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:49.200
What's spirit?
00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:50.080
I'm here for it.
00:14:50.399 --> 00:15:02.720
Some of the other things that we've seen from across our entire community has been an outreach, not just in Discord and just the chatter that we've had, but was also encouraging as we've been experimenting with different types of content.
00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:06.000
It's been people reaching out and appreciating the summer ween list.
00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:15.840
Like we got a bunch of comments on those episodes across Spotify, YouTube, etc., thanking us for a summer ween list because while they've thought about summer ween, they haven't celebrated it properly.
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:21.519
And so we had a few folks reach out, like Mike, for example, he said, listen to your summer ween episode.
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:25.200
Today we're celebrating with a barbecue, watermelon carving, scary games, and movies.
00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:27.279
We just we decorated for the summer season.
00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:27.759
Nice.
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:36.080
Being Sean, if you look in our DMs, he actually sent videos of what his household looked like and how his kids were celebrating.
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:46.080
They also did like a 16 movie bracket that the party guests voted on for a week and then narrowed it down to four movies that they were gonna watch.
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:53.120
He sent pictures of the of the jackalon carvings, like it was so freaking incredible Summerween spirit.
00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:56.320
It was inspirational, and he sent a link to a playlist that they made for the event.
00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:57.759
Wow, love it.
00:15:57.919 --> 00:15:59.679
How did we get invited to the barbecue?
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.679
Come on, Mike, come on, Mike, invite us.
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:05.600
That's awesome.
00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:06.879
I'm so jealous.
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:08.159
What a vibe.
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:09.039
Wow.
00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:10.960
I think we gotta do it.
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:12.720
Sean, you had to host a barbecue next year.
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:13.279
Sorry.
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:15.519
We gotta do a summer ween barbecue.
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:16.080
We'll do it.
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:17.120
We'll make it happen.
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:18.559
Dang, that sounds fun.
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:19.360
That's a good idea.
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:21.919
And we have to do the watermelon carving for sure.
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:23.279
Watermelon carving?
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:26.559
How have I never even brilliant?
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:27.600
I love watermelon.
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:28.080
That's amazing.
00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:29.200
How have I never thought of that?
00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:30.399
For that exact reason.
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:32.879
I don't think I've done summer ween properly.
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:33.840
With what time?
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:39.679
I mean the scaries have happened for sure, but the celebratory part is the part that we've been missing here.
00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:42.879
I haven't even decorated this house yet.
00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:44.639
This is very unlike me, folks.
00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:45.759
This is very unlike me.
00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:49.440
I just went out to Target the other day and got started to get some decor.
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:54.080
Thankfully, my nephew was like, listen, if you just finance and give me the resources, I will decorate your house.
00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:55.519
Like, fuck yes, boy.
00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:02.000
Everyone needs a nephew, Chris Rojas, as it turns out.
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:04.799
As it turns out, everyone needs one.
00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:05.920
Uh that's awesome.
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:06.480
Yeah.
00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:11.599
He arranged my like tapered bleeding candles on my island, and we got like snake holders for them.
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:12.799
It's fucking sick.
00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:17.440
I also don't know if I Okay, now we're talking about a really type A Aries.
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:20.079
That rising, that rising's giving earth sign.
00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:21.680
There's something there that's just not.
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:23.599
Now we're getting real serious.
00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:25.119
That's very type A stuff.
00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:25.599
I love it.
00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:27.599
We'll follow up on the Bruce Chart.
00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:28.799
Mm-hmm.
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:29.119
Mm-hmm.
00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:30.480
We gotta know more.
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:32.880
Yeah, it is time to start decorating, isn't it?
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:35.200
I bump I got a bunch of shit you guys already saw.
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:43.599
I'm probably looking at going out for some more hauls soon because I think there's some other places that are starting to trickle in with some stuff.
00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:46.160
You are insanely we don't talk about this enough.
00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:51.920
You are insanely good at acquiring like some top-tier Halloween decor, okay?
00:17:52.079 --> 00:18:02.000
Because let's also run it all the way back to the beginning of the summer when you caught that cracker barrel which I need to remind you of that gold.
00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:04.640
The witch lamp, it's dude, that thing is sick.
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:11.119
I'm I I have a whole new like area because we bought this from behind like the dining room table.
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:23.519
We bought this like really long, really nice looking piece of furniture that's actually a dog kennel, so they can like go in there with beds and eat and lay, but the whole top is basically like a it's like a piece of furniture.
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:27.119
I don't know what you call it, like a table of some kind of kind of countertop type of thing.
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:30.960
So I've got so much space I can put so many things on that thing now, you know.
00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:34.079
I could start like a whole spooky village set if I wanted to.
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:34.559
Yeah.
00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:36.160
Wow, that's cool.
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:36.799
Hell yeah.
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:37.599
That's really cool.
00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:43.839
One other thing that I've began picking back up now that I'm so committed to actually getting more fucking shelves in my household.
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:47.599
I still have a whole collection of unopened NECA figures.
00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:52.559
And I picked up the Welcome to Dairy Ultimate Bloody Pennywise.
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:53.039
Nice.
00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:58.160
You know the one where he had been submerged in blood and it's just the top part of his face exposed.
00:18:58.640 --> 00:18:59.759
I'm so fucking excited.
00:18:59.920 --> 00:19:06.480
I'm gonna do something during the spooky season where maybe I do some like live unboxings of them and just like really revel in the glory that is at.
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:09.279
And one of those figures is a Halloween resurrection figure.
00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:10.000
Awesome.
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:12.160
Hey, okay, I'm ready for that.
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:15.039
This is sounding like TikTok content.
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:15.839
What do we know?
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:20.880
I guess we have to run that by the infernal intern, but that's sounding like some fun content to me.
00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:28.559
I heard that there was another message on Instagram that speaks to me personally from J.E.
00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:30.319
Mendez 1212.
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:36.880
Okay, and the reason I want to talk about this is because it references something that I feel passionately about, and that's buta.
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:37.279
Okay.
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:40.720
He said, Oh my god, I hear you talking about piranha.
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:43.759
Yes, but I only saw the OG 80s version.
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:46.000
Okay, well, all right, that's fair.
00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:49.200
No one could convince me that we did not have piranha in Miami.
00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:51.519
I didn't go in the water for a solid summer.
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:54.960
Listen, J E Mentez, I see you.
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:58.000
I see you, I acknowledge you, and same.
00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:07.119
Because although you know, I'm talking about the 90s one really, but regardless, I was convinced that there were piranhas and any body of water.
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:10.799
Tell me a lake, tell me a fucking pool, tell me a beach.
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:14.880
I saw those little piranhas, I said, hell to the fuck nah.
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:17.839
It was a really traumatizing summer as a child.
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:22.319
I mean, I I learned how to swim in um God, what's it called?
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:24.799
That little lagoon in coral gables.
00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:26.319
It's escaping me now.
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:33.680
I mean, it's a natural, like coral pool, and I was petrified of any fish, but specifically the piranhas.
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:34.960
The potential for piranhas?
00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:35.680
Hell no.
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:37.440
The little fish are swimmed by your toes.
00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:39.039
You're like, no, the piranhas.
00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:40.319
The piranhas.
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:47.599
I didn't even I knew what the piranhas looked like, and yet somehow my brain was like, no, bitch, they're all piranhas, no matter what.
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:50.240
Yeah, you gotta watch out for piranhas, man.
00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:52.880
Man, I don't know about yeah, piranhas are wild.
00:20:53.119 --> 00:21:00.319
When I lived in Hawaii, we played in these little like we had uh my neighbors had had it was like a a crawfish farm.
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:07.440
So like they would you would run through like these ponds, but they'd have like like little thin strips of land.
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:15.599
And I just remember like running through that and playing and always wondering, like, is this the day that I'm gonna fall in and get like eaten by crawfish, you know?
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:19.839
Because those things will pinch here at us, they will like hang off your skin, it's bad, you know.
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:21.119
You gotta watch out for those things.
00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:22.880
They're also kind of nasty looking.
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:30.640
I just had to look one up again because when I think of crawfish, I think of like you know, full-on crawfish boils, so it's just a lot of red and yellow in like a big bowl.
00:21:31.039 --> 00:21:38.000
But when I'm really looking at like nasty, Jesus, yeah, yeah, there's a lot of dots going on there.
00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:40.160
It's a little traumatizing.
00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:50.160
It's a bit much but you know, we gotta really take a moment to reflect on a good old line from the film The Little Mermaid.
00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:53.599
Darling, it's better, downwards wetter, take it from me.
00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:55.599
And we couldn't stop with the piranhas.
00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:58.720
We also had a lot of commentary on deep blue sea beings.
00:21:59.279 --> 00:21:59.599
We did.
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:02.799
And that one was another one too that I really enjoyed.
00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:07.440
I was out in the ocean recently and I thought of our episode of Deep Blue Sea.
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:16.480
I looked around and I said, if there are some AI generated sharks around here or some shit, it's game over for us.
00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:17.359
It's a rap.
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:17.920
It was a rap.
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:21.680
Madam Morrington said, literally one of my all-time favorite movies.
00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:25.759
I saw it in a packed house opening night, and the crowd reactions were immaculate.
00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:33.599
And I'm actually very envious of that because that would be quite the theatrical experience, dude.
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:38.720
Yeah, Deep Blue Sea was definitely something that I watched at home in Texas.
00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:41.119
Did not did not see that in theaters.
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:42.960
We did not go to the movies for that one.
00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:47.200
I'm sure it would have been a wild time when it came out in theaters, you know?
00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:49.359
I bet it would have been fun for sure.
00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:52.319
I mean, imagine Samuel L.
00:22:52.400 --> 00:23:02.160
Jackson's speech and just like that kill alone, the rupture of like, holy shit, that must have happened in that theater.
00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:03.039
Damn.
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:04.240
That's a good time.
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:09.279
Yeah, we also had, I mean, just think about Deep Blue C, and I love that you bring up Samuel L.
00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:14.319
Jackson specifically, because Audrey commented on Spotify for this episode.
00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:18.319
Definitely saw and preferred Deep Blue C to any of the Jaws films.
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:21.440
Funny enough, it was also my introduction to Samuel L.
00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:26.240
Jackson and LL Cool J, to which I say, Audrey, what a fucking introduction.
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:29.359
That is that is quite the introduction for sure.
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:30.559
That is a good one.
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:33.599
I don't know when my introduction to LL Cool J was.
00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:34.400
I know Samuel L.
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:38.160
Jackson was pulp fiction for sure, but LL Cool J, I'm trying to think.
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:39.279
Man, yeah, I don't know.
00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:42.000
Maybe from one of my now CDs, to be honest with you.
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:43.440
My god, maybe.
00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:46.880
LL Cool J for sure was a musical introduction for me.
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:51.680
But after the music and before Deep Blue Sea, it was Halloween H2O.
00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:52.480
Of course.
00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:53.200
That's fair.
00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:53.759
That's fair.
00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:55.759
Oh, actually, no, I had to look it up.
00:23:55.839 --> 00:23:58.799
I think I remember the sitcom in the house.
00:23:59.119 --> 00:24:02.559
Because that did play, that was a part of the schedule.
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:08.000
I remember as a kid on it was WB at the time.
00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:10.960
Then it became my 33 and LCW and all that.
00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:14.240
But I do recall watching In the House, didn't understand a goddamn thing.
00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:16.160
I was obviously way too young.
00:24:16.319 --> 00:24:23.359
But I remember having that on, and that was like the era of like Martin and all these other like sitcoms that they were playing.
00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:25.759
So that might have been it, it sounds like it would be.
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:28.079
If not, definitely one of my now CDs.
00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:30.480
But that's a that's a ride.
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:38.400
And by the way, props to that incredibly hot take saying that Deep Blue C over any of the Jaws films, that was bravery to say.
00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:39.519
And I respect it.
00:24:39.839 --> 00:24:40.960
I mean, I'm kind of with it.
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:41.519
Really?
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:47.519
Yeah, Jaws gets the credit that it deserves for being as impactful and influential as it was.
00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:56.480
But when it comes to the sheer fuckery and fun of shark movies, Deep Blue C is way more fun than Jaws.
00:24:57.039 --> 00:24:58.480
Personally, that's for me.
00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:02.079
Is that gonna stop me from getting the hardcover edition of Jaws and Barnes?
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:03.200
No, absolutely not.
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:04.160
It's not gonna stop me.
00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:05.680
I'm I'm here with you, Audrey.
00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:06.000
Yeah.
00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:06.720
Nice, nice.
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:09.119
Maybe Jaws 3.
00:25:09.279 --> 00:25:12.240
It's fucking campy enough to maybe just be as fun.
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:14.880
L Cool J makes Deep Blue C better, though.
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:16.160
I'm telling you.
00:25:16.319 --> 00:25:22.640
Well, I also posed the question in Evil Dead Burn if it would be fun to be a Deadite.
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:25.920
And there's some good there was some good answers for sure.
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:30.640
Fecking Hell said Sean asked, so let's see what everyone thinks.
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:35.680
My first question, though, is how much free will I actually have as a deadite?
00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:37.279
Which is a it's a good question.
00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:43.440
Am I in control just with deadite powers, or is the possessing entity mostly in charge?
00:25:43.599 --> 00:25:46.400
If I'm in control, it would be lit.
00:25:46.640 --> 00:25:49.759
But if not, then why would I want to be trapped in mind hell?
00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:50.799
I totally get that.
00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:52.960
Like that's a fair assessment.
00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:58.079
Like you do want to ask the questions, are you gonna be able to have any fun doing this?
00:25:58.160 --> 00:25:58.799
You know what I mean?
00:25:58.880 --> 00:26:00.799
Or are you just gonna be overrun?
00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:02.720
What do we think the answer is though?
00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:07.920
Because I think my answer is you are possessed and not in control.
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:20.880
Yeah, I think that's like kind of where I might lean to it, but then I think maybe if you just kind of like you just let it happen, then maybe you can become one with it and you can actually have some fun.
00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:23.599
You know, we see some deadites that have a lot of fun.
00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:30.640
Then we see like even Bruce at times fighting, you know, like he becomes Deadite, then he fights back and he comes back and he cut, you know what I mean?
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:31.680
It's a back and forth.
00:26:31.839 --> 00:26:36.160
So maybe it's just about like if you just choose to let it happen.
00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:49.759
You know, that's fair because we think about Eva dead burn and this poor woman who got rigged-wrecked and turned into a deadite because her fucking boyfriend could not do anything to interfere or protect her, and then she had some patty ass remarks coming back to him.
00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:54.400
And you know, that can't be all deadite, that can't be all entity.
00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:58.000
You got a little bit of that dog in you, and that dog is bitter.
00:26:58.319 --> 00:27:01.039
Got that dog in you, yeah, for sure.
00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:01.920
Absolutely.
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:03.200
And we got some other ones too.
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:10.480
Trash bags said not being in control, just your consciousness watching from the sidelines would be absolutely horrific.
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:15.119
But if you were the demon possessing, hell yeah, that would be awesome.
00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:17.920
It's like going on a joy ride in a stolen car.
00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:21.119
If you crash it, the host dies, just hop into a new one.
00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:23.279
All the pros, none of the cons.
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:24.640
I like that logic.
00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:26.079
You know, you're just having a good time.
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:26.799
Hop around.
00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:27.839
Hop around and get down.
00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:36.240
Calamine lube has the greatest, uh, well, one, one of the greatest names, but also the the greatest the greatest comment here.
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:40.079
It's like a college blackout, but you get to crawl on the ceiling.
00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:41.039
I'm down.
00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:45.599
Like that's you know, that's the kind of energy we're looking for here, you know?
00:27:46.079 --> 00:27:53.440
That's the kind of energy I'm so happy to see exists in our subreddit hacker slash pod, and that's the energy we need more of in that subreddit.
00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:55.920
Calamine lube, fucking incredible.
00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:58.319
I am so glad you want to crawl on the ceiling.
00:27:58.640 --> 00:28:00.000
Let's all crawl on the ceiling.
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:01.279
Sounds like a great time.
00:28:01.519 --> 00:28:04.799
That's an insanely well put analogy.
00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:09.440
Because you saying it out loud, I instantly was taken back to those times.
00:28:09.680 --> 00:28:18.799
And how cool would it be to just be crawling on the ceiling, college blackout, Malibu rum, just like by the gallons?
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:20.319
No, that'd be nice.
00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:21.039
That'd be nice.
00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:26.559
Well, Sean, you posed that question, but as it turns out, our community has some questions for us.
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:33.680
First one up here from our listeners has discussing movies on the podcast changed how you watch them?
00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:35.839
Ooh, that's a good one.
00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:36.960
That's a good one.
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:41.359
I listen, I think, of course it kind of does, but I think it just depends.
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:50.000
Like for me, if I know, if I know I'm watching a movie for the podcast, I definitely am watching it in a whole different light.
00:28:50.160 --> 00:29:01.599
Like, I'm definitely trying to pull things out because I have to be intentional about finding what my quote's gonna be or how many kills are happening, and what all the significant events and what my favorite scene is gonna be.
00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:04.079
And I'm you know, I'm thinking through all this stuff, right?
00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:06.799
And trying to think of like what did I like, what did I didn't like.
00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:20.480
Whereas the difference is I can still go into a movie if I'm not, if I'm if my mind isn't focused on watching the movie for the podcast, I can still go into the movie kind of chill, and I can watch the movie and I can reflect on it afterwards.
00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:38.240
But I think there is a definitely like trigger that happens if I know I'm watching it for the podcast, because it's been a ton of times where I go to watch a movie and I'm like, hell yeah, I watch this movie, and then like for some reason, two weeks later or something, we're like, hey, we're doing this movie, and I'm like, fuck, I don't remember anything, I gotta watch it again.
00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:44.720
Yes, that has also happened to me, especially that I'm like a serial opening night type of person.
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:48.079
But I've just at this point started to write notes just in case.
00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:49.119
I'm like, you know what?
00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:50.640
Let's just put them in there.
00:29:50.880 --> 00:29:52.640
Just in case that we cover it.
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:53.200
Who knows?
00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:56.319
Because we can't cover them all, you know, like we eventually will.
00:29:56.720 --> 00:29:58.319
But yeah, I'm with you.
00:29:58.400 --> 00:30:06.640
I think that what I'm really grateful for about the pot, amongst many other things, is like it's changed the way that I just like consume media.
00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:18.880
Like my media literacy is just on a different level because I feel like growing up loving movies, I've always wanted to talk about them, but I've never really quite known exactly how to put my thoughts into words.
00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:25.680
Like sometimes, sure, and I would, you know, make stupid YouTube videos when I was younger and all that, but like I was a child.
00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:34.640
But like now that it's like structured and you're like asking the questions, and like Sean, you were saying, we have to kind of like pull things out of the movie to then speak on it.
00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:38.480
It's changed the way that I can now like go and talk about any movie at this point.
00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:40.960
Like I've even applied as a result, right?
00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:46.160
Like, I've applied this kind of frame of thinking when I consume anything that isn't isn't even just horror.
00:30:46.400 --> 00:30:48.960
So it's definitely changed the way I think of them.
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:51.519
I think my movie taste has changed insanely.
00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:54.960
I used to not really like gore at all, and then terrifier happens.
00:30:55.039 --> 00:30:56.079
So there you go.
00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:58.640
It's yeah, it's definitely made the difference for sure.
00:30:58.960 --> 00:30:59.839
Taste for the blood.
00:30:59.920 --> 00:31:06.240
We're gonna be like 90 years old doing an episode, and we're like, you see, we got to the last horror movie on earth.
00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:07.200
Oh my god.
00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:11.119
If we have the discipline to do that, incredible, love that.
00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:13.039
Maybe another 80 years.
00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:15.119
It's been 84 years.
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:17.599
Man, okay, so here's the thing.
00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:27.599
I grew up the youngest sister of an English teacher, and she is someone who, and I think this is so fantastic about what the influence she has had on everybody in our family.
00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:36.160
She has like really made media literacy such a cornerstone of just like the way that we think and discuss things.
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:40.240
We can't do a lot of like surface level conversation in my family.
00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:42.400
It's gotta be a little bit more to that.
00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:58.240
But what I think is really cool about the experience of just like watching movies separately from the podcast, but then the more complete experience, watching it for the podcast, and hearing the diversity of thought from our audience.
00:31:58.559 --> 00:32:08.559
I think there are a lot of podcasts out there who go in and they're either the most knowledgeable people on the genre, on the film specifically, etc.
00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:12.160
And there are some people who just want to riff and have fun, and that's okay.
00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:13.440
There's nothing wrong with that.
00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:26.880
The type of show that we are is just more about like the experience of it, and we are all different people at different places in our lives with different levels of attachment to the horror genre, and that is what I think has made it really special.
00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:42.240
So I think I've absorbed so much more through osmosis and just learning about a the perspective from each of you that I think I've been able to think more about movies or reach more deeply into things.
00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:44.240
Yes, I get what exactly what you mean.
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:52.400
I really do appreciate that we're not in an echo chamber on this pod, you know, with the same exact taste because that's just not interesting.
00:32:52.640 --> 00:33:12.640
And as a result, you guys have been able to convince me about a lot of movies that I've I'd even at first I was like not into, but then you've given more perspective, and then I'm like, okay, like I mean, honestly, obviously, Evil Dead is the one I'm thinking of in the top of my head because I've definitely appreciated that franchise, the first two specifically, uh, more you know, with time.
00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:14.480
But that's awesome that you saw it ends.
00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:16.640
That's a perfect, like really good example.
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:21.200
I'm seeing that people feel very dicey on it, so it makes sense.
00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:24.400
Listen, as a Capricorn, that shit hit.
00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:28.400
It feels like very representative of every relationship I've ever had in my life.
00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:31.359
So that probably sounds really fucking toxic now.
00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:34.079
Now, our next question is actually super timely.
00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:36.000
I'd like to answer this one first.
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:38.240
Who was your first horror crush?
00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:45.599
And I want to talk about this from my first horror crush and my last horror crush because both of them are no longer with us.
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:47.920
One oh I know.
00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:49.920
One, Olivia Hussey.
00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:58.480
She was in the original Black Christmas 1974, she was also in the original Romeo and Juliet, she was also in the Stephen King's it miniseries when I was a kid.
00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:02.400
Like, fucking iconic woman, such a pure soul, such a sweet soul.
00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:07.920
And then the only other horror crush that I've had, Hayden Panaceer as Kirby.
00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:18.079
Hayden Panetier, like as her character in Tiger Cruise, was the first time I ever saw her on Disney Channel, and then progressing like and watching her like Ice Princess, etc.
00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:20.159
Absolutely fucking devastating.
00:34:20.320 --> 00:34:21.199
Absolutely devastating.
00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:24.960
I have been gutted uh since I saw the news a few nights ago.
00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:25.519
Damn.
00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:28.639
It's crushing, it's emotionally crushing.
00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:31.039
Oh my god, I can't even believe it.
00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:35.119
For a moment there, just in conversation, I almost forgot it even happened.
00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:37.840
I would love to live in a delusion where she's still here.
00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:40.000
It's it's actually and genuinely insane.
00:34:40.239 --> 00:34:41.119
It is crazy, eh?
00:34:41.360 --> 00:34:41.679
Damn.
00:34:41.920 --> 00:34:42.559
An icon.
00:34:42.719 --> 00:34:46.320
I was actually just thinking about how I want to run back scream four.
00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:48.559
And you know, I I I just want to run it back.
00:34:48.639 --> 00:34:56.159
I want to come back to it, want to watch Scream 6, and I want to revel in the time that we thought Kirby was gone and she eventually came back.
00:34:56.239 --> 00:35:04.800
And like in my delusion, I just want to cling to this idea and this imaginary and this imagination that Hayden Penn here is still on this earth.
00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:05.519
I know.
00:35:05.679 --> 00:35:07.920
I she was so good in heroes, too.
00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:08.639
Oh my god.
00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:11.760
In heroes, save the cheerleader, save the world, guys.
00:35:11.840 --> 00:35:12.880
My mother gave me a call.
00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:14.639
She was like, Did you see your heroes, girl?
00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:15.840
I'm like, Mother, please.
00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:16.400
Oh no.
00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:20.079
I got woke, I was falling asleep when I got the news.
00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:21.199
My cousin called me.
00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:22.559
She was screaming on the phone.
00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:23.840
It was a whole fucking thing.
00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:24.079
Okay.
00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:26.480
Heroes was like basically my entire life.
00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:29.760
So, and obviously it was a I also got the call because of until dawn.
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:33.360
So now playing this video game is gonna hit a little motherfucking different.
00:35:33.599 --> 00:35:33.920
Damn.
00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:34.639
Too much.
00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:36.079
That's a that's a really good one.
00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:48.639
I you know, and I think also I I genuinely, when I got the news, I thought of you, Chris, and I forgot to even text you because I I think I'm in such a delusion, but I'm like, oh shit, you really like you talk about Kirby a lot.
00:35:48.800 --> 00:35:50.960
Like you that's your girl actually.
00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:52.960
That was my girl before she was Kirby.
00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:56.079
It was she was super my girl after Kirby after Kirby.
00:35:56.880 --> 00:35:57.920
Man, my goodness.
00:35:58.559 --> 00:36:01.840
God damn, I don't uh that's a that's a crazy one.
00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:03.840
I mean, everyone's crush at this point.
00:36:04.239 --> 00:36:08.400
Man, that's a good question though, because obviously I famously am in love with so many people.
00:36:08.719 --> 00:36:19.360
So I don't quite know what would be my first one because I I know that Orlando Bloom wasn't in a horror, and who else did I love growing up as a kid?
00:36:19.519 --> 00:36:22.320
I mean Dylan O'Brien, but I guess that's like in the werewolf.
00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:25.039
No, but he's not even in, you know, he's in a werewolf show.
00:36:25.199 --> 00:36:26.639
Okay, I got one though.
00:36:26.800 --> 00:36:29.519
It's actually gonna be Ryan Reynolds in Amityville horror.
00:36:29.920 --> 00:36:30.559
That makes sense.
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:31.519
Thank you, Sean.
00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:42.480
I know that I've talked about it already at some point on this show for sure, but when I think of my youth and I think of horror and crush, somehow that's what comes to mind.
00:36:42.639 --> 00:36:45.440
In particular, the V cut, okay?
00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:50.400
Because every straight girl knows that that was an actual awakening, okay?
00:36:50.559 --> 00:36:52.400
Yeah, that's gonna ha that's gonna have to be my pick.
00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:54.000
Oh, maybe Freddie Prince Jr.
00:36:54.159 --> 00:36:54.559
for sure.
00:36:54.719 --> 00:36:55.840
I know he did last summer.
00:36:56.000 --> 00:36:56.960
Yeah, a hottie.
00:36:57.039 --> 00:37:00.800
And then I because I also was in love with like she's all that, it's one of my favorite movies.
00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:06.320
So I think that that was like a a duo, like, oh my god, I I need this man in my life.
00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:08.880
Um I need a little Freddie Prince Jr.
00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:11.519
I need a little Freddie Prince Jr., you know what I mean?
00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:19.440
Yeah, that's gonna have to be, and I mean maybe maybe Brad Pitt and Seven, that also changed my my perspective on life.
00:37:19.519 --> 00:37:22.000
But that's is that yeah, that seven's horror, I guess.
00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:22.559
It's there.
00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:24.559
It's like uh, you know, it feels horror.
00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:27.760
It's really dark and gritty, but that's like 90s thrillers, you know.
00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:28.320
Yeah.
00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:29.760
Brad Pitt, yuck.
00:37:29.840 --> 00:37:32.800
Now, Ryan Reynolds also, I'm looking at you different, buddy.
00:37:33.039 --> 00:37:34.800
So we're trying to turn a new leaf.
00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:36.320
That's that's all I got, I think.
00:37:36.480 --> 00:37:37.679
Yeah, but this is a good question.
00:37:37.760 --> 00:37:39.119
I'm gonna keep thinking on this one.
00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:40.480
It is a good question.
00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:49.679
It's definitely for me, if we're looking at strictly horror, you think of you know the times, probably in the 90s.
00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:57.599
I think immediately of like Nev Campbell when Scream came out, I think of 100% Sarah Michelle Geller as Buffy, even.
00:37:57.760 --> 00:37:58.559
You know what I mean?
00:37:58.719 --> 00:37:59.199
Like that.
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:02.480
I mean, these were childhood crushes for sure.
00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:11.519
Sarah Michelle Geller as Cece and Scream 2 or Helen Sugars and Yeah, I mean you could yeah, you could pick any of them for sure.
00:38:11.760 --> 00:38:20.000
Although my all-time crush that's in horror adjacency is Kate Beckinsale in Underworld in Underworld.
00:38:20.239 --> 00:38:22.159
Like, hands down, the hottest.
00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:23.920
God damn, what did I pick her?
00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:24.559
Literally.
00:38:24.960 --> 00:38:25.920
Who was first and last?
00:38:26.079 --> 00:38:27.440
She's somewhere in the middle.
00:38:27.679 --> 00:38:31.679
I had a crush on Kate Beckinsale in Serendipity with John Kezo.
00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:32.800
Oh, yeah, it's a great movie.
00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:33.679
I just watched that.
00:38:33.760 --> 00:38:36.639
I actually watched that twice this year, if you can believe that.
00:38:37.280 --> 00:38:38.559
It sounds serendipitous.
00:38:38.719 --> 00:38:39.039
Yeah.
00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:46.400
It's just like we hadn't watched it in forever, and we threw it on and we're like, oh my god, this is such a great movie.
00:38:46.639 --> 00:38:48.559
And then we were like, yeah, let's watch it again.
00:38:48.719 --> 00:38:51.199
We found a reason to like watch it again, so we watch it again.
00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:57.519
And I sh I shit you not, like, when we were in New York, we almost tried to go to that cafe or whatever.
00:38:57.599 --> 00:38:58.400
I don't know if it's still there.
00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:01.679
I didn't look it up, but I think you're gonna have to watch it again in December.
00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:02.880
Yeah, of course.
00:39:03.119 --> 00:39:04.239
Of course, 100%.
00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:07.679
That's an iconic pick though, that's for sure.
00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:08.239
Jeez.
00:39:08.559 --> 00:39:11.920
Um, horror crushes are abound and they will continue.
00:39:12.079 --> 00:39:14.079
Being sounded like you had another idea.
00:39:14.320 --> 00:39:16.320
No, you know what what it was though?
00:39:16.559 --> 00:39:25.760
I was actually gonna say, I I mean, I'm thinking of Queen of the Damned, and Aaliyah really Aaliyah really changed something.
00:39:25.920 --> 00:39:28.480
You know, I think like So true.
00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:30.719
She wow, she's just so beautiful.
00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:32.079
I wanted to be her so bad.
00:39:32.320 --> 00:39:32.880
R.A.P.
00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:33.360
Another one.
00:39:34.639 --> 00:39:41.360
I avoided Queen of the Damned for so long because I was so heartbroken when she died that I didn't feel like I could watch the film.
00:39:41.599 --> 00:39:42.320
Oh wow.
00:39:42.480 --> 00:39:45.440
Oh I saw that shit in theaters.
00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:54.079
I can't believe I like deprived of myself, myself of that experience, but I want to watch Scream 4 again for Kirby, but also I feel like I'm gonna be wrecked if I watch it.
00:39:54.239 --> 00:39:55.440
So it's tough, man.
00:39:55.519 --> 00:39:56.079
It's it's tough.
00:39:56.159 --> 00:39:58.079
I get I don't know why I get so attached to this.
00:39:58.320 --> 00:39:59.119
It's a whole thing.
00:39:59.280 --> 00:40:01.760
We grew up with these people, they mean so much to us, you know.
00:40:01.840 --> 00:40:06.480
Like the the parasocialness is like, yeah, sure, but it's it's a little different than that, you know.
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:18.480
I think for me, it's also just the endless amount of of talent and humanity and potential and a life extinguished so soon is just fucking devastating.
00:40:18.880 --> 00:40:28.239
Another question that we got in in this batch what is one horror movie you wish you could watch again without knowing anything about it?
00:40:28.559 --> 00:40:30.320
This question is so hard.
00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:34.320
I feel like this I I've I think I've been asked this question at least twice.
00:40:34.559 --> 00:40:38.320
And I and it's it's a hard question to answer, and it's hard to think about.
00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:48.320
You think about like all the movies, your favorite movies, which ones would you want to see again without knowing anything about going into it?
00:40:48.639 --> 00:40:53.519
I have the answer for me that feels easiest, and that is hereditary.
00:40:54.000 --> 00:41:09.679
Because as you both know, hereditary was spoiled for me, and I had to not watch it intentionally for years just to try to forget everything that was told, and then like fucking clockwork every September, oh October's coming up, you're gonna know what about hereditary?
00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:11.519
You're gonna watch that the decapitation?
00:41:11.599 --> 00:41:14.480
I'm like, Jesus fucking like I I'm trying to forget about it, guys.
00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:16.079
I haven't even seen this shit yet.
00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:21.920
So even though I watched it and I loved the experience of it, although it was a fucking bummer of a time.
00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:28.639
I so desperately wish I could have just experienced that movie with zero knowledge whatsoever.
00:41:28.960 --> 00:41:29.920
That makes sense.
00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:32.400
I totally forgot that got ruined for you.
00:41:32.559 --> 00:41:34.480
So that's that makes total sense.
00:41:34.639 --> 00:41:35.760
That makes total sense.
00:41:36.159 --> 00:41:38.079
Yeah, that's a good pick for that reason.
00:41:38.400 --> 00:41:46.719
You know what's crazy is I actually was thinking about this exact question, not horror specific, but like what are some movies that you wish you could watch again for the first time.
00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:52.159
So I actually had written some down, but uh a lot of them are like more thriller, of course, because it's me.
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:57.920
But I did put down one that I've I have talked about on the pod, which is Cure.
00:41:58.320 --> 00:42:04.480
That's one that is definitely like a mystery, like a like a plot twist that I think is really good.
00:42:04.719 --> 00:42:10.800
But then it just has me thinking of all these other like horror films where I just didn't see it coming.
00:42:10.960 --> 00:42:18.000
Like for me, I think Scream would be a really good contender because Scream is so iconic.
00:42:18.159 --> 00:42:21.920
It's like, you know, one of the greatest horror films of all time.
00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:23.119
I absolutely love it.
00:42:23.280 --> 00:42:25.760
I'm obsessed with Ghostface's look.
00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:44.079
But I think also as a kid, finding out that it was her boyfriend and the best friend at the same time, like feeling so beyond shocked by the reveal is like a thrill that I chase all the time and why I love like thrillers specifically in these like mystery psychological thriller horror films in abundance.
00:42:44.239 --> 00:42:51.920
So I think Scream would actually be my like main main pick, and then all the other like films that fall under that subgenre for sure.
00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:54.559
Yeah, that's a good one for sure.
00:42:54.880 --> 00:43:18.559
I usually I usually look at this question, I think, the the times that I've answered it, and I actually I think I've both times I've I've got this question, I've defaulted to Bride of Frankenstein, and I said that because I think even people who know Universal Monsters tend to underrate the movie because it kind of gets pushed away as like this sequel in the met in like people's memories.
00:43:18.719 --> 00:43:41.519
I think, but when you watch this movie fresh, I think it's genuinely strange in ways that don't come through when you're just like kind of like trying to describe it because it is truly like it's it's funny, it's tragic, it's uh it's campy, and I think it's sometimes it's like um it's gotten a little bit more freedom than Frankenstein did.
00:43:41.599 --> 00:43:44.400
It had a bigger budget, I think, the second time around.
00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:48.000
So I think that movie is just one that I think it's underrated.
00:43:48.079 --> 00:43:52.239
So I feel like if I like I think of all the Universal Monsters, that's one of them for sure.
00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:59.599
But I think this time I want to throw like kind of a curveball because I think another one that I think I watch, I don't know.
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:06.480
I watch it every year, but I watch it quite often, and I do think about like what would it be like to watch this for the first time?
00:44:06.639 --> 00:44:10.880
Not only that, what would it be like to actually be able to go to a theater and watch this?
00:44:11.119 --> 00:44:15.519
And it's the old Dark House from 1932.
00:44:15.840 --> 00:44:21.280
It's literally criminally underseen by even Universal Completist.
00:44:21.360 --> 00:44:25.920
It's literally one of my favorite universal horror movies.
00:44:26.239 --> 00:44:28.719
It is um it's less of a monster movie.
00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:35.760
It's more of like this gothic house full of weirdos type thriller, and it plays like literally nothing else from that era.
00:44:35.840 --> 00:44:37.840
It's such a good, good movie.
00:44:38.000 --> 00:44:43.599
And hey, listen, if none of you if if any of you haven't seen it, then let me know how your fresh take is.
00:44:43.760 --> 00:44:48.480
I want to hear about it because I truly want to kind of experience that again.
00:44:48.880 --> 00:44:51.199
Sounds like one of the watchers for the podcast.
00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:51.840
Oh, yeah.
00:44:52.079 --> 00:44:52.400
Yes.
00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:55.920
I was just gonna say, I'm like, I am super down for this.
00:44:56.639 --> 00:44:57.199
Nice.
00:44:57.360 --> 00:44:58.000
Hell yeah.
00:44:58.079 --> 00:44:58.800
You gotta love it.
00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:00.719
What?
00:45:01.199 --> 00:45:01.360
So good.
00:45:01.760 --> 00:45:02.639
Carloff, of course.
00:45:02.960 --> 00:45:07.440
Of course, just reminded me when you talked about like how great it would be to see that in theaters.
00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:12.960
You just reminded me that some of the Halloween films are actually being re-released in theaters in Zip.
00:45:14.320 --> 00:45:15.119
I saw that.
00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:16.159
Oh man.
00:45:16.320 --> 00:45:19.119
Oh my god, the theaters are worth it.
00:45:19.760 --> 00:45:20.800
There's the first three.
00:45:21.039 --> 00:45:24.079
And select screenings are gonna have the fourth and fifth as well.
00:45:24.320 --> 00:45:25.599
That's crazy.
00:45:25.840 --> 00:45:26.960
That's crazy.
00:45:27.199 --> 00:45:28.239
Oh my gosh.
00:45:28.639 --> 00:45:33.119
I mean, we saw we saw Halloween in theaters last year together.
00:45:33.360 --> 00:45:34.400
It was so good, Sean.
00:45:35.039 --> 00:45:35.679
Which was so cool.
00:45:36.639 --> 00:45:37.599
Yeah, that was fun.
00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:39.440
So Halloween 2 would be fun.
00:45:39.679 --> 00:45:42.639
Season of the Witch would be a time, you know what I mean?
00:45:42.800 --> 00:45:43.440
Like, man.
00:45:44.400 --> 00:45:48.159
I would absolutely just take the day off and watch all five of them if I could in theaters.
00:45:48.480 --> 00:45:48.719
Right?
00:45:48.960 --> 00:45:51.519
Just a marathon, just spend the whole day there.
00:45:51.920 --> 00:45:52.400
Yeah.
00:45:52.639 --> 00:45:54.880
Get a couple blankets, a couple pillows.
00:45:55.039 --> 00:45:59.039
I got my like snack hoodie from Comfort, so I can just put all my movie snacks in there.
00:45:59.199 --> 00:46:00.400
We're good, we're set.
00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:01.519
Hell yeah.
00:46:01.599 --> 00:46:02.239
That's awesome.
00:46:02.480 --> 00:46:02.960
Absolutely.
00:46:03.039 --> 00:46:10.719
Now, reflecting on what we've had this past month or so and thinking about what lies ahead.
00:46:10.960 --> 00:46:16.320
I think there's a lot that we can take away and really continue moving forward.
00:46:16.639 --> 00:46:22.079
So, one, holy shit, I love Summer Ween and I want to do it again next year.
00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:24.800
I want to do it even bigger and better next year.
00:46:24.960 --> 00:46:27.599
Hopefully, life will be a little bit more stable for me.
00:46:27.840 --> 00:46:46.800
But I think one of the lessons is just thinking about the camaraderie in our Discord server and being able to be able to really soak in how connected our community is and what a really special place it is, even outside of conversations about horror movies and even outside of conversations about the podcast at large, this is just a phenomenal group of people.
00:46:46.880 --> 00:47:00.880
So if you have not joined our Discord yet, if you are someone who maybe doesn't have a lot of folks to talk to about horror in your life, or you're nervous about joining a room where everyone already kind of knows each other, nah, don't even worry about that.
00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:02.159
You're always welcome.
00:47:02.239 --> 00:47:06.079
And what I love about this community is that they make everyone feel welcome as well.
00:47:06.320 --> 00:47:16.159
It's been really nice, and I feel like with the community that we've built, it it's insane to see how much it's grown in just you know the short time as well, even this year, right?
00:47:16.320 --> 00:47:40.880
So I think that when you said the idea of like joining a community in terms of like maybe you don't have friends or anyone in your like real life to kind of talk horror, like this is the perfect like pocket of space and time where you can just like lose it, and then clearly participate in some color war action and watch parties and all kinds of crazy chaos that will entertain me when I'm at the doctor's appointments, that's for sure.
00:47:41.199 --> 00:47:42.800
Listen, these are your people.
00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:43.840
You found us.
00:47:44.079 --> 00:47:44.719
It's okay.
00:47:44.880 --> 00:47:45.519
Come on in.
00:47:45.599 --> 00:47:47.679
We've been waiting for you this entire time.
00:47:47.920 --> 00:47:50.719
It was, some might say, serendipity.
00:47:51.039 --> 00:47:51.840
Gotta love it.
00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:53.280
You gotta love it.
00:47:53.679 --> 00:47:55.920
We have so much that's coming up.
00:47:56.079 --> 00:48:00.639
Most immediately, we have Teenage Sex and Death at Ket Miasma.
00:48:00.719 --> 00:48:04.880
I'm gonna say kept miasma because it's such a long title, and I feel like I'm missing another word there.
00:48:05.280 --> 00:48:06.639
Really, really excited about that one.
00:48:06.719 --> 00:48:09.199
Paris has already texted me, incredibly excited.
00:48:09.280 --> 00:48:11.280
I think she wants to try to be on the episode if possible.
00:48:11.440 --> 00:48:13.519
We had to see how like scheduling lines up.
00:48:13.679 --> 00:48:21.199
But she was talking about like how deeply personal this is gonna feel for both her and I, and I am not ready emotionally, I think.
00:48:21.280 --> 00:48:23.599
I was like very excited, and now I'm like a little hesitant.
00:48:24.239 --> 00:48:25.199
So beyond.
00:48:25.599 --> 00:48:28.320
Yeah, I I'm so beyond it, excited.
00:48:28.480 --> 00:48:29.360
There are no words.
00:48:29.679 --> 00:48:35.440
I have passed the like board of the I guess like the slasher, right?
00:48:35.519 --> 00:48:45.199
The the the villain, or who knows, but I've seen it when I go to my local theater and I just keep staring at it like I've been wanting this movie for so long.
00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:48.400
The fact that we don't live in New York or LA is pissing me off.
00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:50.639
I'm so jealous.
00:48:51.519 --> 00:48:52.239
Can't wait.
00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:52.719
Damn.
00:48:52.960 --> 00:48:53.360
Absolutely.
00:48:53.519 --> 00:49:01.280
Now, coming up after that, we have a 2026 spooky season preview where we're gonna announce all the good fun and shenanigans that we will be up to.
00:49:01.440 --> 00:49:09.440
And without getting into a lot of details and spoiling the surprises, what you can look forward to is nostalgia.
00:49:09.599 --> 00:49:18.719
You can look forward to healing your inner child, you can look back on the good old days of horror and really just anchor yourself in those memories.
00:49:18.960 --> 00:49:27.280
We're gonna throw back with Freddy's Dead, we're gonna throw back with a couple of Halloween movies, a bride of Chucky, Saw.
00:49:27.440 --> 00:49:36.239
We have a lot on the horizon that's going to really be so much fun for our community and exploring franchises that we haven't even touched in a little bit.
00:49:36.559 --> 00:49:46.159
But what I'm also excited about most is what we're doing in terms of like continuing the spirit of experimentation and just having fun with different styles of things.
00:49:46.400 --> 00:49:49.199
In early September, Halloween the game releases.
00:49:49.360 --> 00:49:50.320
I'm gonna be playing it.
00:49:50.880 --> 00:49:54.320
So I'm not sure if you're gonna be playing it, but we can play it together if you like.
00:49:54.559 --> 00:50:13.840
Um definitely kind of bonus content and bonus episodes on that, reviewing the game, discussing it, discussing its fidelity to the movie and how you translate an unstoppable force and the immovable object that is Michael Myers into a game that from a perspective you can control and comparing it to other Ace and Horror games specifically, so that's gonna be really fun.
00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:17.360
And then, of course, in October we have the Crystal Lake TV series.
00:50:17.599 --> 00:50:19.599
So we're gonna be doing episodes on that as well.
00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:21.599
Excited for that for sure.
00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:24.400
Oh man, there's some good stuff happening soon.
00:50:24.719 --> 00:50:35.679
I love that we're like experimenting as well because I think that a lot of people have been asking us to kind of comment or give our opinions on TV shows and games that are in the horror sphere.
00:50:35.840 --> 00:50:39.360
So we're finally giving it to you, and I'm like really pumped about it.
00:50:39.519 --> 00:50:43.679
I've I mean, especially with Welcome to Dairy, you know, like who knows, guys?
00:50:43.760 --> 00:50:48.079
You know, if if all goes well season two, it's greenlit, folks.
00:50:48.320 --> 00:50:48.719
Mm-hmm.
00:50:49.119 --> 00:50:50.159
And we have thoughts.
00:50:50.400 --> 00:50:51.119
Yeah, for sure.
00:50:51.199 --> 00:50:55.199
And I think, oh my god, I would love to go back and and and do Welcome to Dairy.
00:50:55.360 --> 00:51:00.880
But I think the the thing that I wasn't expecting was the fact that the Crystal Lake series is gonna drop all in one day.
00:51:01.039 --> 00:51:08.320
So I was originally thinking, okay, we'll do an episode a week, but now it's all dropping in one day, so we've got to figure out how we want to navigate that together.
00:51:08.639 --> 00:51:09.119
Interesting.
00:51:10.079 --> 00:51:11.360
I wasn't ready for that either.
00:51:11.599 --> 00:51:12.960
I'm gonna binge the fuck out of it.
00:51:13.039 --> 00:51:14.719
I I have that week off of work.
00:51:15.039 --> 00:51:16.400
I will be committed.
00:51:16.719 --> 00:51:22.079
One thing you gotta know about me is it wouldn't be the first time that I've binged a show in one day, and it certainly won't be the last.
00:51:22.320 --> 00:51:23.760
Stranger Things, where are you at?
00:51:24.000 --> 00:51:24.480
Exactly.
00:51:24.639 --> 00:51:25.199
There we go.
00:51:25.360 --> 00:51:26.000
I'm ready.
00:51:26.400 --> 00:51:27.679
We'll absolutely do that.
00:51:27.920 --> 00:51:34.079
And listen, there's so much to look forward to, but that brings us to the end of our Summerween bonfire.
00:51:34.239 --> 00:51:48.719
So seriously, folks, thank you so much to everyone who's watched our videos, who's participated in the Color War, their cabins, supported your fellow campers, who sent us messages, who've helped make Summer Ween feel like a genuine community experience.
00:51:48.960 --> 00:51:59.280
And even in moments in my life where I felt disconnected from people at large, I've still felt so connected to you, and I cannot express my unrelenting gratitude for this.
00:51:59.599 --> 00:52:08.800
These events are only memorable because you are the ones showing up and you are bringing your enthusiasm, you're bringing your creativity, you're bringing your passion to camp.
00:52:09.199 --> 00:52:19.519
Even though summer ween's coming to an end, we at this show at Hackerslash still have plenty in the tank, and we have so much in store for you for spooky season.
00:52:19.599 --> 00:52:25.039
We're super excited about what's ahead, and honestly, we're just grateful that you all continue to take the journey with us.
00:52:25.360 --> 00:52:40.079
Yeah, I I mean, listen, if you're joining and just listening to our summer ween episodes and you're having fun with just the conversation that we've been having when we're talking about summer ween, talking about camp slashers, ranking Jasons, all this good stuff.
00:52:40.320 --> 00:52:48.480
Listen, go back and listen to some of our episodes or be excited for some of the episodes that we have coming out for the spooky season, because we have a lot of good stuff coming for you.
00:52:48.639 --> 00:52:51.519
And if you like that stuff, consider maybe supporting the show.
00:52:51.679 --> 00:53:05.199
You know, you can visit patreon.com/slash hackerslash and enjoy all kinds of stuff, including bonus content, early access, extended episodes with B sides, and you can take part in movie nominations and on we also do live shows.
00:53:05.440 --> 00:53:06.559
We'll see you next time, folks.
00:53:06.639 --> 00:53:10.880
And remember, when you leave a man for dead, make sure he's really dead.
00:53:11.840 --> 00:53:14.159
It's the only thing that keeps me alive.
