1
00:00:00.030 --> 00:00:00.590
What does that mean?
2
00:00:00.610 --> 00:00:04.969
It means buckle your seatbelt, Dorothy, because Kansas is going bye-bye.
3
00:00:05.049 --> 00:00:14.519
We need the outlet for our rock tumbler.
4
00:00:14.580 --> 00:00:15.179
Plug it in!
5
00:00:15.220 --> 00:00:15.960
Plug it in!
6
00:00:16.019 --> 00:00:19.480
What, the rock tumbler or the TV? The TV! The TV!
7
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:21.480
And as for you, I don't know you, but I'm
8
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:23.679
sure you're a jerk. Hey, I've only been here a
9
00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:24.929
few minutes. What's going on?
10
00:00:25.070 --> 00:00:28.929
By the powers vested in me, by the Federal Communications Commission...
11
00:00:29.410 --> 00:00:32.329
I command you to get on the microphone in a
12
00:00:32.450 --> 00:00:35.549
serious manner and continue this broadcast.
13
00:00:35.670 --> 00:00:37.990
Get a f * * * ing podcast. So why
14
00:00:38.030 --> 00:00:42.159
don't all you little idiots press your faces up against
15
00:00:42.219 --> 00:00:50.329
the speakers and blow your brains out! Hey guys, what's
16
00:00:50.380 --> 00:00:55.869
going on? You're listening to ThisWeekInGeek.net and I am obviously
17
00:00:56.009 --> 00:00:58.250
not Mike the Birdman. I'm Dave Denoyer coming to you
18
00:00:58.329 --> 00:01:02.789
from Ohio. And this is another episode of RAM, a.k.a.
19
00:01:02.929 --> 00:01:06.290
Random Access Memories. And I'm not alone, as I have
20
00:01:06.450 --> 00:01:08.870
our own devil himself from New Jersey.
21
00:01:10.030 --> 00:01:11.090
Ken from this anime.
22
00:01:12.849 --> 00:01:15.640
And Ken and I today are going to be talking
23
00:01:15.810 --> 00:01:19.000
about a near and dear topic to our hearts as
24
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:22.189
we are into the spooky season. primo as it is going.
25
00:01:22.409 --> 00:01:24.769
And this was a idea. I think the three of
26
00:01:24.810 --> 00:01:28.250
us kind of threw together. Mike is unfortunately just needing
27
00:01:28.269 --> 00:01:30.620
some R and R. So we are, we are pressing
28
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:33.260
on without him on this one, but this is an
29
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:34.920
idea that all three of us kind of came together
30
00:01:35.140 --> 00:01:39.719
on is we've, we've had a lot of really great
31
00:01:39.780 --> 00:01:42.829
horror films in the last, you know, in the last decades,
32
00:01:43.230 --> 00:01:46.989
last few decades, especially. And one thing there, when you
33
00:01:47.030 --> 00:01:50.840
get a lot of good horror films, is unfortunately sometimes
34
00:01:51.260 --> 00:01:54.760
some can slip under the cracks. You know, you don't
35
00:01:54.819 --> 00:01:56.459
see them. There's too many. You know, there's too much
36
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:58.599
to keep up with. I mean, I wanted to see,
37
00:01:58.620 --> 00:02:01.879
for example, Ken, I wanted to see Fall 2. I
38
00:02:01.900 --> 00:02:03.739
think it's Deadfall or something like that is the subtitle
39
00:02:03.780 --> 00:02:05.760
of that one. And it was in theaters for like
40
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:10.639
a week and then it was gone. It like, I mean,
41
00:02:10.659 --> 00:02:12.699
it was there and gone. I mean, the same thing
42
00:02:12.740 --> 00:02:13.580
happened with Cobb.
43
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:19.560
There's a lot of interesting... features and like i've i've
44
00:02:19.659 --> 00:02:27.330
found some a-class directors by just randomly finding uh movies
45
00:02:27.569 --> 00:02:31.229
and again i had uh a podcast for over a
46
00:02:31.270 --> 00:02:36.770
year with a internet friend and we just would just
47
00:02:36.849 --> 00:02:41.740
back and forth random horror movies uh we've done we
48
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:46.310
did stuff like uh jennifer's body some One of them
49
00:02:46.469 --> 00:02:56.860
is on this, is in my list, but it's, there's
50
00:02:56.919 --> 00:03:02.520
some really interesting horror. There's also some really obscure horror
51
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:07.000
that I think deserve to be classics. Obviously, I would
52
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:11.050
say these are, the ones that I picked are, I
53
00:03:11.110 --> 00:03:16.729
genuinely think are classics and do have some recognition. And then, like,
54
00:03:16.789 --> 00:03:21.849
my honorable mentions are the ones I wish were classic.
55
00:03:22.830 --> 00:03:26.050
See, I kind of went for an approach that was underrated.
56
00:03:26.069 --> 00:03:30.210
I did pick a couple Halloween picks, too, like, that
57
00:03:30.270 --> 00:03:34.889
are Halloween-ish. But I more so wanted to highlight some
58
00:03:34.909 --> 00:03:38.550
stuff that, A, has gotten its second life on physical
59
00:03:38.590 --> 00:03:41.340
media due to studios, you know, putting some money into
60
00:03:41.900 --> 00:03:44.479
finding the original prints and whatnot, restoring them, putting them out.
61
00:03:44.930 --> 00:03:47.689
So then naturally it also gets onto streaming. But then B,
62
00:03:47.750 --> 00:03:51.740
the other thing was I went for ones that I
63
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.319
didn't necessarily expect to like as much as I ended
64
00:03:54.379 --> 00:03:57.139
up liking. Because I love that. I love that feeling
65
00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:59.539
when you're watching something. You pick a movie and you're like,
66
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:01.860
this could be good or this could be bad. And
67
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:04.280
then it just kind of blows away all expectations. That's
68
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:06.539
what I kind of live for. So that's what I
69
00:04:06.580 --> 00:04:07.979
kind of went for these. So if you haven't picked
70
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:09.639
up on it, dear listener, we are going to be
71
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:14.150
highlighting underrated horror films or podcasts. you know, horror movies
72
00:04:14.210 --> 00:04:19.610
that we feel deserve more recognition, more passion, more fans,
73
00:04:19.629 --> 00:04:21.939
for that matter. But we did this in a way
74
00:04:22.310 --> 00:04:24.379
to kind of narrow it down for each of us,
75
00:04:24.459 --> 00:04:26.339
and that is that we're going to be picking one
76
00:04:26.540 --> 00:04:28.089
from the 2000s, so 2000 to 2009, one from the 2010s,
77
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:29.019
so 2010 to 2019, and one from the 2020s, so
78
00:04:29.019 --> 00:04:31.180
2020 to 2026 currently. So we're kind of cheating with
79
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:32.500
that last one, I think, but at the same time,
80
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:34.120
I mean, horror's been, like, you know, ever.
81
00:04:42.629 --> 00:04:45.410
Since the 2020s have started, the unfortunate start of them, obviously,
82
00:04:45.449 --> 00:04:47.189
you know, with getting a lot of big movies at
83
00:04:47.250 --> 00:04:51.269
home because of quarantine and whatnot. But, I mean, we've
84
00:04:51.290 --> 00:04:53.730
been having some really, really good shit come out. I
85
00:04:53.790 --> 00:04:57.160
revisited Weapons a couple nights ago, and I really, really
86
00:04:57.220 --> 00:04:57.959
like Weapons.
87
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:03.259
I think, for me, Weapons is just like a slight
88
00:05:03.339 --> 00:05:08.160
step down from Barbarian, but Weapons is still a classic.
89
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.240
Well, I mean, and I've seen his Resident Evil, and
90
00:05:11.259 --> 00:05:12.360
I think you have too now.
91
00:05:12.660 --> 00:05:12.959
Yeah.
92
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:16.620
And my only complaint with Resident Evil is I'm just
93
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:18.759
not a... We won't go into it, but I'm not
94
00:05:18.779 --> 00:05:22.139
a big fan of the ending. But it didn't detract
95
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:24.529
me from enjoying that movie at all. I really, really
96
00:05:24.569 --> 00:05:26.569
like Resident Evil. I'm so ready to watch it again,
97
00:05:26.649 --> 00:05:28.910
so I'm amped when it hits streaming here in a
98
00:05:28.930 --> 00:05:32.949
little bit. But Kreger is really hit or miss with
99
00:05:32.970 --> 00:05:33.430
his endings.
100
00:05:34.110 --> 00:05:38.129
And also probably the last movie... a part of the
101
00:05:38.230 --> 00:05:40.689
Sony Netflix deal, because that expires this year.
102
00:05:41.589 --> 00:05:44.860
Yeah, well, that's a good point, too. Yeah, but yeah,
103
00:05:44.889 --> 00:05:46.379
I really had a blast with Resident Evil, but yeah,
104
00:05:46.420 --> 00:05:48.519
Weapons revisiting that was a lot of fun. But yeah,
105
00:05:48.579 --> 00:05:51.860
we are going to be sharing three picks each. On
106
00:05:51.899 --> 00:05:53.279
top of that, we are going to have some honorable
107
00:05:53.300 --> 00:05:55.500
mentions at the end as well. Would you like to
108
00:05:55.540 --> 00:05:56.550
go first, or do you want me to go?
109
00:05:57.870 --> 00:06:03.329
I'll go first, because... Yeah, kick it off, man. Obviously, like,
110
00:06:04.269 --> 00:06:06.829
I have a... This is a very special... film to
111
00:06:06.889 --> 00:06:12.389
my heart simply because the remake of this film is
112
00:06:12.470 --> 00:06:17.149
what kind of made me understand horror and made me
113
00:06:17.189 --> 00:06:22.269
go okay i can dig horror back in high school
114
00:06:22.290 --> 00:06:27.509
yeah because i was a complete pussy for most of
115
00:06:27.670 --> 00:06:34.870
my childhood until i was like maybe 17.
116
00:06:32.870 --> 00:06:38.889
Yeah, my postification, I think, ended specifically, like, right around 12, 13,
117
00:06:38.889 --> 00:06:41.209
I want to say. And the thing that did it
118
00:06:41.269 --> 00:06:44.310
was I watched Friday the 13th on mute and then
119
00:06:44.350 --> 00:06:46.439
realized I was like, oh, this isn't, like, so scary.
120
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:48.000
And then from there, that was kind of, like, off
121
00:06:48.019 --> 00:06:48.480
to the races.
122
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:55.779
Yeah, so I distinctly consider the remake a classic, but
123
00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.519
I want to go back to the original, and that
124
00:06:59.660 --> 00:07:01.170
is 2007's Wreck.
125
00:07:03.709 --> 00:07:07.209
Yes. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
126
00:07:07.449 --> 00:07:08.490
You like Quarantine?
127
00:07:10.129 --> 00:07:12.750
Quarantine is a fun, bad horror movie.
128
00:07:13.980 --> 00:07:15.379
Okay, okay.
129
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:22.180
But Wreck is so fucking good. Good movie. Like, Wreck
130
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:26.939
is a good movie. Quarantine is a fun time. But
131
00:07:27.019 --> 00:07:29.620
Wreck is a good movie. Period.
132
00:07:31.189 --> 00:07:33.750
Well, I mean, that was Jennifer Carpenter as a lead.
133
00:07:33.790 --> 00:07:34.910
And I mean, and you want to talk about a
134
00:07:34.970 --> 00:07:37.029
time in horror. I mean, you know, that and Exorcism
135
00:07:37.050 --> 00:07:41.569
of Emily Rose, plus, you know, her on Dexter as Deb.
136
00:07:42.029 --> 00:07:44.930
It's funny because, yeah, I mean, quarantine is one that
137
00:07:44.970 --> 00:07:49.829
I saw before Wreck, unfortunately. But no, Wreck is so scary.
138
00:07:51.829 --> 00:07:56.949
Also, oddly enough, when we did it for the podcast
139
00:07:56.970 --> 00:08:11.110
last year, Find the Spanish subtype English dub. And I'm like, no,
140
00:08:11.410 --> 00:08:13.790
get it the heck out of here. I want this sub.
141
00:08:14.750 --> 00:08:17.410
And oddly enough, Amazon was the only one that had
142
00:08:17.470 --> 00:08:23.050
the sub. Every other place that had rec streaming was
143
00:08:23.170 --> 00:08:27.370
English dub. I was like, what the hell? And like,
144
00:08:27.410 --> 00:08:31.470
it wasn't even indicating that it was English dub. which
145
00:08:31.490 --> 00:08:32.480
is really annoying.
146
00:08:33.740 --> 00:08:37.740
Absolutely would be. No, Wreck's a great pick. I think
147
00:08:37.779 --> 00:08:41.700
what I like most about Wreck is you do not
148
00:08:41.740 --> 00:08:45.879
feel safe in that movie. The isolation aspect of it
149
00:08:46.059 --> 00:08:50.639
and going through this building, yeah, that movie still makes
150
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:51.059
me tense.
151
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:58.289
Yeah, no one feels safe. Not a single person feels safe. And,
152
00:08:58.710 --> 00:09:01.490
I mean, that goes to the ending of the movie, but, like,
153
00:09:02.850 --> 00:09:11.620
it genuinely is just a great zombie film. Yeah. And
154
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:15.059
it has a good idea on how to make a
155
00:09:15.100 --> 00:09:21.019
zombie film that necessarily is more realistic. Like, if anything
156
00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:25.059
that is going to turn people into zombies, a rabies-type
157
00:09:25.100 --> 00:09:26.759
virus would be the reason.
158
00:09:28.610 --> 00:09:33.590
No, the explanation that they bring in that movie is believable.
159
00:09:34.009 --> 00:09:35.919
And I think that makes it kind of extra scary
160
00:09:35.940 --> 00:09:40.159
in that point. Because I remember Wreck really kind of
161
00:09:40.220 --> 00:09:43.620
getting its... Because you said 2007 it came out. I think... Quarantine,
162
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:50.470
I think, is like a year or two later. Yeah,
163
00:09:50.509 --> 00:09:52.480
that sounds about right, because I had a quarantine poster,
164
00:09:52.740 --> 00:09:55.679
like a mini theater poster that I got in somewhere
165
00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:57.970
for free that I had in my room for X
166
00:09:57.990 --> 00:10:00.500
amount of years. But yeah, no, I, I remember rec
167
00:10:00.629 --> 00:10:03.899
kind of getting, it's kind of, kind of getting more recognition. Um,
168
00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:06.659
I think around, I want to say it was, yeah,
169
00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:10.340
I want to say it was like around 2012, 2013
170
00:10:10.340 --> 00:10:12.539
or so. Cause I think that's when it got physically
171
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:14.710
released officially by somebody here in the States.
172
00:10:15.809 --> 00:10:17.929
It was a year later quarantine. Yeah.
173
00:10:20.029 --> 00:10:22.629
But yeah, no, Rexon is an excellent pick. Do you
174
00:10:22.669 --> 00:10:23.289
like the sequels?
175
00:10:24.769 --> 00:10:27.850
I never touched the sequels whatsoever.
176
00:10:27.929 --> 00:10:31.250
Dude, I'm going to tell you, two and three especially
177
00:10:31.370 --> 00:10:33.620
are great. The one that takes place at the wedding,
178
00:10:33.629 --> 00:10:35.480
which I think is three, is a lot of fun.
179
00:10:35.539 --> 00:10:38.480
Yeah, three is clearly the wedding because I can see it.
180
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:39.620
Yeah.
181
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:40.179
See the poster.
182
00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:44.220
Because I think Wreck, yeah, because I think Wreck 4
183
00:10:44.220 --> 00:10:46.779
is the one I haven't seen. But so far, I've
184
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:49.120
been pretty impressed with that series. So no, if you
185
00:10:49.210 --> 00:10:51.919
like Wreck, I would definitely look into the sequels.
186
00:10:55.230 --> 00:10:55.970
So what's your pick?
187
00:10:56.889 --> 00:11:02.049
So my pick, I went, when thinking of 2000s horror specifically,
188
00:11:02.129 --> 00:11:04.580
that's putting me into a place of, you know, we
189
00:11:04.629 --> 00:11:08.200
recently released our Dark Castle episode, you know, talking about
190
00:11:08.259 --> 00:11:10.200
House of Wax and 13 Ghosts and all that stuff.
191
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:14.059
This is such an interesting time for horror, especially as
192
00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:16.879
we get further into it. But I stayed a little
193
00:11:16.970 --> 00:11:20.649
early on with it with one that my buddy Enrique
194
00:11:20.669 --> 00:11:23.889
showed me years ago that I have absolutely fallen in
195
00:11:23.929 --> 00:11:26.490
love with, and it's gotten a second life, thank God.
196
00:11:26.529 --> 00:11:28.029
I mean, it's got, because it kind of was, it
197
00:11:28.070 --> 00:11:31.779
was on DVD, and then it kind of just vanished. And,
198
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:34.799
you know, there was a big question for fans of it,
199
00:11:34.860 --> 00:11:36.539
which was a small base at that point of, you know,
200
00:11:36.580 --> 00:11:39.460
when is this movie going to come out again? And
201
00:11:39.539 --> 00:11:44.059
that is 2003, or is, 2002, excuse me, American Nightmare,
202
00:11:44.539 --> 00:11:49.799
directed by John Keyes. This is a indie film that
203
00:11:49.860 --> 00:11:53.440
came out in 02. It has a bunch of B-movie
204
00:11:53.500 --> 00:11:56.299
horror people in it. You've got Debbie Rochon. You've got
205
00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:01.200
an appearance by Brink Stevens. You've got a great brief
206
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:04.960
appearance by even... Oh, I'm blanking on his name. The
207
00:12:05.500 --> 00:12:08.330
one older actor that was in a lot of things. Carradine.
208
00:12:09.309 --> 00:12:12.610
John Carradine, if I'm not mistaken. But American Nightmare is
209
00:12:12.669 --> 00:12:16.570
the story of According to IMDb, a deranged female serial
210
00:12:16.610 --> 00:12:20.500
killer stalks seven young people whom a phone radio call-in
211
00:12:20.509 --> 00:12:23.799
show to discuss their darkest fears in a night-long game
212
00:12:24.580 --> 00:12:28.519
of cat-and-mouse is put into motion by a darkly sinister-looking murderess.
213
00:12:29.419 --> 00:12:32.240
Spoiler alert, the killer is Debbie Rochon, who plays a
214
00:12:32.379 --> 00:12:36.500
crazy nurse named Nurse... I want to say Topher? Toppen. Toppen.
215
00:12:37.179 --> 00:12:40.580
Jan Toppen, who goes crazy one night and ends up
216
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:44.740
murdering a bunch of kids. Sometime later, it's Halloween night.
217
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:47.360
These guys are sitting in a coffee shop. There is
218
00:12:47.539 --> 00:12:50.799
a radio host, a pirate radio host named Dr. Caligari
219
00:12:50.860 --> 00:12:54.460
that is taking over the airway for Halloween night to
220
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:57.419
basically have people call in and share their darkest fears.
221
00:12:58.059 --> 00:13:01.860
What they don't realize, though, is that the killer, Jane Topin,
222
00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:05.159
is listening to these calls and she's going to do
223
00:13:05.299 --> 00:13:07.889
everything in her power to make these people unfortunately live
224
00:13:07.950 --> 00:13:10.830
out these fears. So One's afraid of being buried alive. Well,
225
00:13:10.850 --> 00:13:13.179
I bet you can't guess what happens to her. One
226
00:13:13.220 --> 00:13:15.000
dude is afraid of sex. Well, I bet you can't
227
00:13:15.019 --> 00:13:17.620
guess what might or may not happen to him. It
228
00:13:17.779 --> 00:13:21.080
all leads into a really, really good twist. But it's
229
00:13:21.179 --> 00:13:25.440
also executed with the the care and precision of not
230
00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:28.850
your standard slasher film to where you a really care
231
00:13:28.870 --> 00:13:30.929
about some of these characters, even though you only are
232
00:13:30.970 --> 00:13:34.690
with them for a short period. but B surprises you
233
00:13:34.750 --> 00:13:37.970
because it doesn't go for that usual formula shtick that
234
00:13:37.990 --> 00:13:40.429
you would think it would. I really had a great
235
00:13:40.470 --> 00:13:41.909
time with this the first time I watched it, and
236
00:13:41.970 --> 00:13:45.870
then shout out to our buddy Ryan Grayface who owns
237
00:13:45.889 --> 00:13:48.129
Terror Vision. He is the one who put out the
238
00:13:48.169 --> 00:13:50.230
Blu-ray of it that you can get now. It's also
239
00:13:50.309 --> 00:13:53.649
currently streaming on 2B in the States. Of course it is.
240
00:13:53.649 --> 00:13:57.840
So American Nightmare, yeah, I mean, American Nightmare is an
241
00:13:58.009 --> 00:14:00.720
underrated flick. It's still got pretty low ratings on IMDb
242
00:14:00.740 --> 00:14:04.190
and even Letterboxd, but if you're looking for something that
243
00:14:04.250 --> 00:14:05.950
has the Halloween feel to it, cause it all takes
244
00:14:05.990 --> 00:14:09.509
place on Halloween night. Um, this is one that I
245
00:14:09.610 --> 00:14:12.190
cannot recommend enough. It's got that feel to it. It's
246
00:14:12.210 --> 00:14:15.470
got a really decent story. It's got solid performances. Debbie
247
00:14:15.509 --> 00:14:19.690
Rochon is absolutely terrifying in this movie as Topin as
248
00:14:19.730 --> 00:14:22.460
nurse Topin. And, um, yeah, it's one that I try
249
00:14:22.500 --> 00:14:24.659
to recommend to as many people as I can. And
250
00:14:24.700 --> 00:14:27.120
especially since it's readily available now, like you don't have
251
00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:29.250
to go buy the DVD like I used to, you
252
00:14:29.269 --> 00:14:31.129
have no excuse. I mean, especially to be like, yeah,
253
00:14:31.149 --> 00:14:33.509
you're gonna get some ads, but you should absolutely check
254
00:14:33.549 --> 00:14:38.289
out American nightmare from 2002. I think it is super underrated,
255
00:14:38.409 --> 00:14:40.169
but I think it's also a lot of fun and
256
00:14:40.309 --> 00:14:42.769
it's a good change of pace from what you would
257
00:14:42.809 --> 00:14:45.549
normally expect from a, uh, quote unquote Halloween slasher.
258
00:14:45.570 --> 00:14:52.080
All right. Um, so we're going to jump over to
259
00:14:52.129 --> 00:14:53.840
the 2010s, I guess.
260
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:55.379
Uh, 2010s. Yes.
261
00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:59.840
Uh, with my pick, um, I could have chosen one
262
00:14:59.879 --> 00:15:06.559
of two, but I think this one is more underappreciated,
263
00:15:07.700 --> 00:15:10.019
and that would be the 2018's Overlord.
264
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:12.830
Oh, shit, yeah.
265
00:15:12.850 --> 00:15:14.529
Yeah, this film rocks.
266
00:15:14.549 --> 00:15:16.309
It does.
267
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:32.580
Yeah, this is one of those films where it's like,
268
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.240
all you need to know is World War II horror film.
269
00:15:38.500 --> 00:15:38.659
Yeah.
270
00:15:38.700 --> 00:15:39.080
That's it.
271
00:15:40.299 --> 00:15:46.740
Just go in with just that idea. Don't look at
272
00:15:46.820 --> 00:15:49.759
anything else. Just watch and have a blast.
273
00:15:50.460 --> 00:15:53.940
Because it's what a group of soldiers basically take refuge
274
00:15:54.179 --> 00:15:58.200
in a... castle a house uh.
275
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:03.039
It's a it's a castle yeah fortress type place.
276
00:16:03.580 --> 00:16:06.720
Then they're hiding out and one of their one of
277
00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:08.500
their own might be infected or something like that if
278
00:16:08.539 --> 00:16:13.259
i remember correctly yeah yes no overlord is oh god
279
00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:15.279
i i saw that i think we saw that opening
280
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:20.009
night uh you said 2013 uh 2018 2018, I was
281
00:16:20.029 --> 00:16:23.629
going to say. Yeah, that sounds right. Yeah, 2018 Overlord is...
282
00:16:23.769 --> 00:16:26.450
I need to revisit that myself. I don't think I've
283
00:16:26.490 --> 00:16:31.870
seen it since theaters. And I just remember being super
284
00:16:31.950 --> 00:16:34.629
impressed with what they could do with the budget they had.
285
00:16:36.409 --> 00:16:39.549
Yeah, this is one of those... This is one of, like,
286
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:44.299
the first 4Ks that I owned because it was dirt cheap.
287
00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:46.600
Yeah.
288
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:50.590
And I was like, sure i'll take i i've heard
289
00:16:50.629 --> 00:16:53.490
good things about this i'll take it and then this
290
00:16:53.590 --> 00:16:56.490
is the first i i think this is one of
291
00:16:56.529 --> 00:17:01.179
the first 4ks that i popped in when i had
292
00:17:01.259 --> 00:17:03.840
this when i bought the series x and had a
293
00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:09.339
fork had the capability of playing 4ks yeah and watched
294
00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:12.339
it and i'm like yeah no this is amazing.
295
00:17:13.470 --> 00:17:16.190
I mean, it was produced by J.J. Abrams. That was
296
00:17:16.250 --> 00:17:17.650
one of the claims to fame it had. And you
297
00:17:17.690 --> 00:17:19.869
had Julius Avery, who was your director, who ended up
298
00:17:19.890 --> 00:17:23.950
doing like Pope's Exorcist and Samaritan. So I can't remember
299
00:17:24.029 --> 00:17:25.509
what his big one.
300
00:17:26.609 --> 00:17:29.470
I genuinely love Pope's Exorcist.
301
00:17:29.950 --> 00:17:35.349
It's criminally underseen. In my opinion, that movie is criminally underseen.
302
00:17:35.410 --> 00:17:37.470
But yeah, you got Mark Smith as one of the writers, too,
303
00:17:37.490 --> 00:17:41.619
who did like the Revenant and Twisters, Dog Stars, Vacancy. So, no,
304
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:43.339
I mean, you got a lot of great people behind
305
00:17:43.380 --> 00:17:43.700
that movie.
306
00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:47.980
I think his only other film before Overlord was Son.
307
00:17:47.859 --> 00:17:51.220
Of a Gun. Son of a Gun, Ewan McGregor. I've
308
00:17:51.259 --> 00:17:56.569
seen that. I remember it being pretty good. But yeah, Overlord,
309
00:17:56.589 --> 00:17:59.470
I mean, it's got the, it's a little bit of
310
00:17:59.490 --> 00:18:02.390
a slow burn, but man, it's a super slow burn.
311
00:18:02.410 --> 00:18:05.009
You get your just desserts. You get your just desserts
312
00:18:05.109 --> 00:18:07.529
in that last 20 to 30, I mean, you get
313
00:18:07.670 --> 00:18:09.950
served some things throughout the entire film, don't get me wrong,
314
00:18:09.990 --> 00:18:13.359
but when that last 30 minutes hits, oh my god,
315
00:18:13.380 --> 00:18:14.559
it does not stop.
316
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:15.420
And.
317
00:18:15.500 --> 00:18:19.420
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, Overlord, damn, you're making me realize
318
00:18:19.460 --> 00:18:21.019
I haven't seen it since it came out, and I'm like,
319
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:24.230
that's almost been 10 years. I mean, it's only 8 years,
320
00:18:24.269 --> 00:18:29.569
but it feels like longer. Yeah, I remember.
321
00:18:29.390 --> 00:18:34.529
Overlord being the last. And what really stood out, I'm
322
00:18:34.589 --> 00:18:38.430
just looking at my review again on Letterboxd, because I
323
00:18:38.450 --> 00:18:43.390
have that chronicled uh it was like what stood out
324
00:18:43.470 --> 00:18:49.680
was the sound design and like even on like the
325
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:55.529
dinky 2.1 speaker that i have at the time it
326
00:18:55.589 --> 00:18:58.910
was really good it sounded really good.
327
00:18:59.210 --> 00:19:01.230
Well even being in theaters uh you know even i
328
00:19:01.250 --> 00:19:02.930
don't think we saw it in like a premium theater
329
00:19:02.950 --> 00:19:04.250
i think we saw it well i mean if we
330
00:19:04.269 --> 00:19:05.930
saw it opening night we probably saw it at at
331
00:19:05.950 --> 00:19:09.180
the Dayton South. But regardless, even in the theater, it
332
00:19:09.220 --> 00:19:12.519
was an experience. Now, Overlord is absolutely a great pick.
333
00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:20.400
All right. What do you have for 2010s?
334
00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:24.609
So, 2010s, this is the era of me both going
335
00:19:24.710 --> 00:19:30.190
to college, me rapidly buying things on release day and whatnot.
336
00:19:31.109 --> 00:19:34.650
This one in particular was one that I didn't, I
337
00:19:34.710 --> 00:19:37.460
didn't really expect much from it. I didn't even know
338
00:19:37.500 --> 00:19:42.160
anything about it. I knew that the director was Patrick Lussier,
339
00:19:42.220 --> 00:19:45.279
who is the guy that did Drive Angry, Terminator Genisys,
340
00:19:45.329 --> 00:19:48.529
Dracula 2000, and the My Bloody Valentine remake was one
341
00:19:48.549 --> 00:19:53.789
of his big claims to fames. This is his 2019 film, Trick.
342
00:19:54.849 --> 00:19:57.539
And this is a no-nonsense detective who tries to track
343
00:19:57.559 --> 00:19:59.920
down a mass murderer named Trick, who is terrorizing a
344
00:19:59.930 --> 00:20:05.250
small town. This movie is so, so, so Halloween-y. you
345
00:20:05.269 --> 00:20:08.470
could almost puke pumpkins because of how much is just
346
00:20:08.650 --> 00:20:12.180
vibing through this with the Halloween atmosphere. You got Omar Epps,
347
00:20:12.220 --> 00:20:17.799
Tom Atkins, Jamie Kennedy, Krista Reese, Adrienne Rose Benst, and
348
00:20:17.900 --> 00:20:21.720
this is written by Todd Farmer and Patrick himself. Todd Farmer,
349
00:20:21.740 --> 00:20:24.720
if you're not mistaken, is the guy that is the writer,
350
00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:27.430
I think, behind Jason X, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah,
351
00:20:27.470 --> 00:20:29.490
writer behind Jason X and Drive Angry and the My
352
00:20:29.509 --> 00:20:35.609
Bloody Valentine remake. This movie is genuinely... It is... It's
353
00:20:35.809 --> 00:20:37.710
so all over the place, but it's all over the
354
00:20:37.750 --> 00:20:41.029
place in a good way. You've got this guy who
355
00:20:41.190 --> 00:20:44.029
is at a Halloween party. They're playing a stupid game
356
00:20:44.049 --> 00:20:46.769
with a knife, and then he just starts killing people,
357
00:20:46.869 --> 00:20:49.109
and his name happens... His nickname happens to be Trick,
358
00:20:49.950 --> 00:20:52.430
and he just starts stabbing people, so naturally it starts
359
00:20:52.490 --> 00:20:55.119
this kind of trackdown with the detectives and the police
360
00:20:55.150 --> 00:20:56.710
trying to figure out, you know, where Trick is gone
361
00:20:56.759 --> 00:20:59.990
because he ends up getting away, and then slowly more
362
00:21:00.059 --> 00:21:03.660
people start dying at the hands of Trick, and it gets...
363
00:21:04.029 --> 00:21:06.349
wider and ends up at a Halloween festival at one
364
00:21:06.410 --> 00:21:08.950
point where a bunch of people are dying in this maze.
365
00:21:09.230 --> 00:21:13.339
And the deaths for one thing are, are, are incredibly gruesome,
366
00:21:13.420 --> 00:21:16.380
but also like really not what you're used to. Like
367
00:21:16.759 --> 00:21:20.000
there's some, there's some jump scares in this, but also
368
00:21:20.059 --> 00:21:22.559
just some general violence that just pops out at you
369
00:21:22.579 --> 00:21:24.839
where it's just like, Oh wow, we're going there. But
370
00:21:25.259 --> 00:21:28.099
it was one that I really, really enjoyed for the
371
00:21:28.140 --> 00:21:31.319
Halloween vibes. And also, um, The ending is a little weak.
372
00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:33.900
I will say it's not my favorite thing, but the
373
00:21:33.940 --> 00:21:37.579
movie's a lot of fun. It's your typical slasher with
374
00:21:37.619 --> 00:21:40.890
a good twist to it because you got your body count,
375
00:21:41.309 --> 00:21:44.049
but there's so many surprises with it. There's so many
376
00:21:44.230 --> 00:21:46.710
dark turns with it that you're kind of just gripped
377
00:21:46.809 --> 00:21:50.730
to it. And I was really, really surprised that it
378
00:21:50.789 --> 00:21:52.670
was just one we found on Amazon one day and
379
00:21:52.690 --> 00:21:54.480
then I ended up pre-ordering it because I had such
380
00:21:54.500 --> 00:21:56.930
a great time with it. We've even done an episode
381
00:21:56.990 --> 00:21:58.490
on it on Do You Even Movie? So if you
382
00:21:58.509 --> 00:22:01.079
want to go back and listen to that more. But
383
00:22:01.380 --> 00:22:04.539
the trick was just a lot of fun. It was
384
00:22:04.660 --> 00:22:07.019
one that I didn't really expect much from as well.
385
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:08.920
And then on top of that, too, it's one that
386
00:22:08.940 --> 00:22:11.000
I've gone back to more than I expected to because
387
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:14.750
it's just been a great time. So 2019's trick currently
388
00:22:14.809 --> 00:22:18.819
available on Pluto as well as the Roku channel. in
389
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:21.799
the States. So if you're looking for another good Halloween
390
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:24.000
vibe one and one that is at the tail end
391
00:22:24.019 --> 00:22:26.119
of the 2010s that really kind of snuck by that
392
00:22:26.539 --> 00:22:28.680
has not a lot of people I've really not heard
393
00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:30.400
watched it and or seen or heard of it for
394
00:22:30.420 --> 00:22:33.759
that matter. But yeah, Trick from 2019 directed by Patrick Lussier.
395
00:22:33.779 --> 00:22:37.180
A lot of fun. I think it is super underrated
396
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:39.640
and A, it's perfect for this time of year, but B,
397
00:22:39.680 --> 00:22:41.480
it's just a really fun horror film if you're a
398
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:42.079
slasher fan.
399
00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:47.059
Yeah, definitely something I'll check out because like that is...
400
00:22:47.789 --> 00:22:49.529
That just sounds like a fun time.
401
00:22:50.150 --> 00:22:53.289
Yeah, I think you would enjoy it, I absolutely think.
402
00:22:53.309 --> 00:22:54.769
I think you'd be like, it's a little stupid, but
403
00:22:54.890 --> 00:22:55.470
it's pretty fun.
404
00:22:56.950 --> 00:23:00.990
Yeah, I like some stupid levels of fun.
405
00:23:01.009 --> 00:23:03.410
All right, do you want to give your honorable mentions,
406
00:23:03.450 --> 00:23:05.640
and I'll give mine, and then we'll both give our 2020s?
407
00:23:05.690 --> 00:23:11.299
Yeah, so some of the honorable mentions, I wanted to
408
00:23:11.859 --> 00:23:17.400
highlight stuff that is current is pretty current, but like,
409
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:22.930
I don't want to say is, does necessarily need some
410
00:23:22.950 --> 00:23:26.170
time to sit with me. Let it cook.
411
00:23:27.029 --> 00:23:27.210
Yeah.
412
00:23:27.369 --> 00:23:27.890
Let it cook.
413
00:23:28.170 --> 00:23:28.410
Yeah.
414
00:23:29.170 --> 00:23:33.390
And whatnot. Uh, Hocum just came out this year. Like,
415
00:23:33.490 --> 00:23:37.329
I fucking love Hocum. Oh, it's so good. Oh, Hocum's
416
00:23:37.390 --> 00:23:42.000
so good. And, uh, Smile is a personal favorite because
417
00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:46.049
that film legit is, My.
418
00:23:47.250 --> 00:23:52.769
Fear, like... It upsets me. Smile legitimately upsets me. Two
419
00:23:52.890 --> 00:23:54.789
may have upset me a little bit more, but smile
420
00:23:54.890 --> 00:23:56.069
legitimately upsets me.
421
00:23:58.809 --> 00:24:07.390
Smile... I was quite literally shaking.
422
00:24:08.509 --> 00:24:09.210
Yeah.
423
00:24:10.470 --> 00:24:12.950
I had tremors after that.
424
00:24:13.569 --> 00:24:13.990
It was....
425
00:24:16.769 --> 00:24:23.130
How much this. How much Smile just like. Ate into my.
426
00:24:23.910 --> 00:24:28.990
Psyche. It is a top tier. Psychological thriller.
427
00:24:29.789 --> 00:24:30.009
Yeah.
428
00:24:32.029 --> 00:24:32.250
Um.
429
00:24:34.259 --> 00:24:44.359
And. Another one. That comes. To mind. Would be. Whether.
430
00:24:45.289 --> 00:24:51.150
it um cuckoo yeah cuckoo's good from last year um
431
00:24:51.190 --> 00:24:52.410
did you see that.
432
00:24:52.730 --> 00:24:56.630
Yes yeah that's that's one you have to i i
433
00:24:56.670 --> 00:24:59.549
know you can't now but like that's the sound design
434
00:24:59.609 --> 00:25:01.529
in cuckoo was i mean for.
435
00:25:01.470 --> 00:25:06.390
Theaters dan stevens was the reason i went to go
436
00:25:06.450 --> 00:25:10.190
see it because it's dan yeah freaking stevens yes.
437
00:25:11.329 --> 00:25:16.180
Easily I showed Friends the Guest a couple nights back,
438
00:25:16.380 --> 00:25:20.880
and I love The Guest so much. And The Guest
439
00:25:20.940 --> 00:25:25.240
is not underrated. It's luckily finally getting its due by
440
00:25:25.380 --> 00:25:27.750
many people, so you don't need to say much about
441
00:25:27.769 --> 00:25:31.869
The Guest. But yeah, Dan Stevens' horror titles like Abigail
442
00:25:31.910 --> 00:25:35.910
the Guest and Cuckoo, I mean, and even most recently Onslaught,
443
00:25:36.509 --> 00:25:39.160
the dude brings it every time.
444
00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:47.750
Yeah. And like, I would say also like talk to
445
00:25:47.789 --> 00:25:52.329
me and bring her back as a double bill. Like, yes,
446
00:25:52.769 --> 00:25:57.630
those those guys can just do whatever. I will be there. Yeah.
447
00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:00.380
No, I mean, I like Bring Her Back a little
448
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:03.259
bit more than Talk To Me. My issue with Talk
449
00:26:03.299 --> 00:26:08.660
To Me was just, it was so desolate ending dark. Like,
450
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:11.589
oh my god, it was just fucking sad of an ending.
451
00:26:11.619 --> 00:26:13.329
But Bring Her Back, I mean, doesn't have much more
452
00:26:13.349 --> 00:26:16.069
of a happier ending much, but regardless, no, I mean,
453
00:26:16.549 --> 00:26:22.329
Bring Her Back and Talk To Me are phenomenal picks.
454
00:26:22.930 --> 00:26:28.930
Bring Her Back, legitimately, there is a specific scene that
455
00:26:28.970 --> 00:26:30.990
will be burned into my skull for the rest of
456
00:26:31.099 --> 00:26:35.359
all time and if you've seen the movie yeah if
457
00:26:35.400 --> 00:26:36.900
you've seen the movie you know.
458
00:26:36.700 --> 00:26:41.839
Yep yep chomp chomp chomp my god so what kind
459
00:26:41.900 --> 00:26:44.279
of several chomp chomps in that they're really.
460
00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:48.700
Upsetting but there's really one that's just there's.
461
00:26:48.579 --> 00:26:51.420
Really one that stands out no you're not wrong so
462
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:57.180
um My first one in regards to one that I
463
00:26:57.259 --> 00:26:59.079
really would love to see more people latch onto for
464
00:26:59.099 --> 00:27:03.650
an honorable mention is 2013's WNUF Halloween Special. This was
465
00:27:03.690 --> 00:27:07.630
an indie that came out mid-2010s, directed by Chris LaMartina,
466
00:27:07.670 --> 00:27:09.630
who is an indie director who's done a lot of
467
00:27:09.670 --> 00:27:14.769
indie horror titles. This one, though, is probably his most acclaimed,
468
00:27:14.849 --> 00:27:15.410
I would think.
469
00:27:16.230 --> 00:27:16.690
It is.
470
00:27:17.509 --> 00:27:22.490
Imagine you find a VHS of an 80s Halloween special...
471
00:27:22.849 --> 00:27:26.250
That is a broadcast where they're going inside of a
472
00:27:26.289 --> 00:27:29.690
house where murders took place, and they're bringing a Warren-type
473
00:27:29.750 --> 00:27:33.759
couple along, and shenanigans ensue. But when I say you
474
00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:38.380
found a VHS tape, there's commercials, there's ads for movies
475
00:27:38.460 --> 00:27:41.279
and TV that are fake. All this stuff is faked,
476
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:47.259
and it is an homage to the 80s cable special,
477
00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:50.410
Halloween special, Halloween time, all this stuff. It is such
478
00:27:50.430 --> 00:27:53.750
a fun movie. WNUF Halloween special currently streaming on Shudder,
479
00:27:53.789 --> 00:27:55.230
if I'm not mistaken. I think you can also find
480
00:27:55.250 --> 00:27:57.359
it elsewhere. Terror Vision also put out a beautiful Blu-ray
481
00:27:57.380 --> 00:28:00.019
of it. But it's a lot of fun. It goes
482
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:02.099
with a twist at the end you probably won't see coming.
483
00:28:02.140 --> 00:28:04.660
And if you enjoy it, definitely check out his other one,
484
00:28:04.700 --> 00:28:07.880
which is Out There Halloween Megatape. He did that one,
485
00:28:07.940 --> 00:28:10.430
and that is a salute to the late 90s, early
486
00:28:10.829 --> 00:28:14.289
2000s special. It's a lot of fun. Both those are
487
00:28:14.329 --> 00:28:17.539
a lot of fun. So those I would recommend. The
488
00:28:17.579 --> 00:28:18.880
other one I'm going to throw my hat in for
489
00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:21.779
is another one that actually is 2013 as well, and
490
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:24.319
that is The Den. Are you familiar with that one
491
00:28:24.339 --> 00:28:24.720
by chance?
492
00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:26.940
No.
493
00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:33.630
So The Den is from 2013, directed by Zachary Donahue,
494
00:28:34.289 --> 00:28:38.089
and it is the story of a woman that is
495
00:28:38.230 --> 00:28:41.289
trying to study the habits of webcam users and in
496
00:28:41.369 --> 00:28:45.220
doing so becomes a target for a bunch of people
497
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:45.880
on the dark web.
498
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:49.140
Okay.
499
00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:52.920
Yeah, it's found footage, so it's all you're seeing from
500
00:28:52.940 --> 00:28:57.420
her webcam, you're seeing the cameras inside her apartment, and
501
00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:00.220
it is, for one, to give you even more reason
502
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:02.660
to push play, it's 76 minutes long. It is a quick,
503
00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:08.109
quick run. But it is absolutely terrifying. You really just
504
00:29:08.410 --> 00:29:11.089
start getting put through the dread that this woman's experiencing,
505
00:29:11.109 --> 00:29:13.410
because she's trying to get people to believe her, people
506
00:29:13.470 --> 00:29:15.710
have control of her computer, people have control of her phone,
507
00:29:15.789 --> 00:29:19.049
all this stuff starts happening, and um it it ends
508
00:29:19.109 --> 00:29:20.829
uh it ends not the most upbeat i'll put it
509
00:29:20.849 --> 00:29:22.910
that way but it is a really really scary flick
510
00:29:22.930 --> 00:29:25.720
so the den from 2013 uh cannot recommend that one
511
00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:28.740
enough currently on amc plus and philo you can also
512
00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:31.519
rent it at other places as well um and the
513
00:29:31.599 --> 00:29:33.440
last one i will give a shout out to is
514
00:29:33.589 --> 00:29:37.549
one that i just saw recently that i i was
515
00:29:37.730 --> 00:29:40.400
not necessarily against it it was just give have one
516
00:29:40.420 --> 00:29:42.500
of those things where it's like, yeah, I'll watch this movie,
517
00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:47.819
but I'm probably not going to like it. Um, yeah,
518
00:29:49.980 --> 00:29:53.099
that is one. This is one that I, uh, I
519
00:29:53.220 --> 00:29:57.240
hadn't seen, uh, I hadn't seen it a bit, but, um, it, to, to,
520
00:29:57.950 --> 00:30:00.250
piggyback these two movies together i have to explain this
521
00:30:00.349 --> 00:30:04.390
one um the movies are the nest and slugs and
522
00:30:04.869 --> 00:30:08.630
the nest is from 1987 slugs is from 1988 and
523
00:30:08.750 --> 00:30:11.930
they are both movies that are about creatures uh slugs
524
00:30:11.990 --> 00:30:14.339
is literally about what happens if a bunch of slugs
525
00:30:14.619 --> 00:30:17.119
took over a town and when i say slugs i'm
526
00:30:17.140 --> 00:30:20.400
talking about actual slugs but these ones are cannibalistic uh
527
00:30:20.519 --> 00:30:23.839
they bite people they cause havoc they eat people from
528
00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:25.980
inside out they make people's eyes blow up i mean
529
00:30:26.019 --> 00:30:30.259
they The movie is gnarly. From 1988, Slugs is really,
530
00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:33.160
really gnarly. But the year before that, The Nest is
531
00:30:33.220 --> 00:30:36.359
a Roger Corman-produced movie about giant cockroach, or not giant,
532
00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:41.960
cannibalistic cockroaches taking over a small town. And it was really,
533
00:30:42.009 --> 00:30:44.470
really fun to revisit The Nest. I hadn't seen it
534
00:30:44.549 --> 00:30:46.349
in a good bit since I bought my Blu-ray that
535
00:30:46.390 --> 00:30:49.269
I bought probably a decade ago. Slugs has always been
536
00:30:49.289 --> 00:30:51.950
a big-time favorite of mine, but if you're looking for
537
00:30:52.109 --> 00:30:55.670
really nasty creature features, The Nest and Slugs are my
538
00:30:55.730 --> 00:30:58.470
final honorable mentions that I will go ahead and throw
539
00:30:58.509 --> 00:31:00.609
in the ring there, even though they are from the eighties.
540
00:31:00.710 --> 00:31:03.269
I don't care. I'm throwing that in because, uh, both
541
00:31:03.289 --> 00:31:04.990
those movies just tickled me recently.
542
00:31:05.009 --> 00:31:15.960
All right. So, um, my last pick was very specific.
543
00:31:16.160 --> 00:31:20.200
I wanted to highlight a film that is super underlooked
544
00:31:21.420 --> 00:31:27.400
and is just an amazing experience. It was an amazing
545
00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:31.569
experience in theaters, and if you wear headphones, like, oh
546
00:31:31.789 --> 00:31:34.109
my gosh, this is going to be the kind of
547
00:31:35.150 --> 00:31:41.809
great immersive experience. And that is 2022's Out of Darkness. Oh, okay. So,
548
00:31:42.130 --> 00:31:47.230
Out of Darkness is a film that is entirely done
549
00:31:47.250 --> 00:32:01.019
in a language of like in an ancient language of
550
00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:06.450
like it's like a mix between Scandinavian and like um
551
00:32:08.009 --> 00:32:12.630
like Northern Europe kind of languages mixed together to form
552
00:32:12.670 --> 00:32:21.019
this like ancient language completely made up and it is
553
00:32:21.779 --> 00:32:27.420
so intriguing there's not a lot of dialogue honestly there
554
00:32:27.500 --> 00:32:31.420
really isn't so don't be afraid but like there are
555
00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:35.000
subtitles for when people are talking obviously.
556
00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:40.619
Yeah it's a horror movie correct yes yeah.
557
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:46.200
It's a bunch of cavemen that have that are on
558
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:51.680
a journey in like the stone age and Beautiful, beautiful scenery.
559
00:32:51.859 --> 00:33:00.630
I believe they filmed in Iceland or Greenland. And it's
560
00:33:00.710 --> 00:33:07.630
just some gorgeous cinematography. And they go into this woods
561
00:33:08.109 --> 00:33:11.650
and something is hunting them. They don't know what.
562
00:33:13.089 --> 00:33:14.990
Okay. That sounds good.
563
00:33:15.750 --> 00:33:19.490
And you do find out what it is. And the
564
00:33:19.549 --> 00:33:23.009
entire movie flips on its head. And that is all
565
00:33:23.029 --> 00:33:23.380
I'm going to say.
566
00:33:23.390 --> 00:33:26.039
I would like to add, you buried the lead of
567
00:33:26.079 --> 00:33:32.799
it only being 88 minutes as well, too. It is
568
00:33:32.819 --> 00:33:34.339
a 90-minute movie.
569
00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:39.250
Yeah.
570
00:33:39.289 --> 00:33:40.789
No, that sounds like a lot of fun. I'm going
571
00:33:40.809 --> 00:33:42.990
to have to definitely check that out. Currently on Tubi
572
00:33:43.250 --> 00:33:47.269
and Pluto in the States. Yeah, Out of Darkness. That sounds...
573
00:33:47.130 --> 00:33:49.849
It's stage six production, so that's even more reason to
574
00:33:49.869 --> 00:33:52.309
check it out. Yeah, this sounds like a lot of fun.
575
00:33:53.410 --> 00:33:53.950
Yeah.
576
00:33:54.210 --> 00:33:55.109
Did you see this in theaters?
577
00:33:55.970 --> 00:33:57.329
I got to see this in theaters.
578
00:33:57.910 --> 00:33:58.250
Nice.
579
00:33:58.349 --> 00:34:02.630
I was so... I think I was like one of
580
00:34:03.109 --> 00:34:07.859
two people in that theater. Because it was like, who's
581
00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:11.079
going to see this movie? It's only coming... It's only...
582
00:34:11.159 --> 00:34:13.980
It's like limited... It was like a limited release, and
583
00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:15.000
it was like.
584
00:34:16.809 --> 00:34:18.929
I think it was only playing like once or twice
585
00:34:18.949 --> 00:34:19.510
that day.
586
00:34:19.530 --> 00:34:21.800
Damn it.
587
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:26.679
It was, it, I was just like, wow, this is
588
00:34:26.719 --> 00:34:27.519
an experience.
589
00:34:28.699 --> 00:34:30.420
That sounds like it is. I'll definitely have to check
590
00:34:30.460 --> 00:34:32.139
that out and get back to you on that. But yeah,
591
00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:36.309
out of darkness of 2022, it sounds like it can awesome.
592
00:34:39.469 --> 00:34:41.190
And what is your final pick, sir?
593
00:34:42.210 --> 00:34:45.840
All right, sir. So wrapping us up in the 2020s,
594
00:34:46.730 --> 00:34:49.289
as I mentioned at the top of the show, you know,
595
00:34:49.309 --> 00:34:51.989
2020s have been really, really good for horror. I mean,
596
00:34:52.030 --> 00:34:53.949
you know, we've already mentioned stuff like bring her back
597
00:34:54.190 --> 00:34:59.090
and Hocum. And I mean, obviously obsession and we had
598
00:34:59.150 --> 00:35:01.510
weapons last year. I mean, it's, there's been a lot
599
00:35:01.550 --> 00:35:03.510
of really, really good stuff, long legs. I could keep
600
00:35:03.550 --> 00:35:07.010
going on, but this was one that I found because
601
00:35:07.050 --> 00:35:10.590
it went on sale on Fandango of all places. And
602
00:35:10.789 --> 00:35:13.250
the premise of it really, really stuck out to me.
603
00:35:13.690 --> 00:35:18.530
And that is 2021's when the screaming starts. Um, this
604
00:35:18.690 --> 00:35:23.199
is a mockumentary that is literally about a guy that
605
00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:26.460
discovers a serial killer in the making that wants.
606
00:35:26.300 --> 00:35:31.940
To document this movie. I think you've talked about this before.
607
00:35:32.539 --> 00:35:36.489
I probably have because I'll sing the praises of this movie. Um,
608
00:35:37.579 --> 00:35:41.199
If you're familiar with movies like Man Bites Dog and
609
00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:45.099
Behind the Mask of the Rise of Leslie Vernon, this
610
00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:47.710
is in that same vein. Almost think of what we
611
00:35:47.750 --> 00:35:50.050
do in the shadows but for serial killers because you've
612
00:35:50.090 --> 00:35:52.809
got this guy that not only wants to become a
613
00:35:52.809 --> 00:35:54.949
serial killer and he's got his girlfriend, but then they
614
00:35:54.989 --> 00:35:57.670
decide that they want to have a family. Family in
615
00:35:57.710 --> 00:36:00.639
the sense of Charles Manson type family. So they bring
616
00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:02.960
a bunch of people together to become a family of
617
00:36:03.019 --> 00:36:08.409
serial killers and they end up committing a really big massacre,
618
00:36:09.369 --> 00:36:12.780
not really a spoiler, and then things go really odd
619
00:36:12.860 --> 00:36:15.119
from there. But what I love about it more than
620
00:36:15.139 --> 00:36:18.179
anything is it's super funny. It is a dark comedy
621
00:36:18.239 --> 00:36:20.300
because the ending will kind of take you into a
622
00:36:20.320 --> 00:36:22.599
place that you're just like, holy shit, I can't believe
623
00:36:22.619 --> 00:36:24.599
we're going here, but at the same time it totally works.
624
00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:27.800
Does not meet the expectations you think of the route
625
00:36:27.820 --> 00:36:32.070
it's going to go. It is absolutely a blast. Has
626
00:36:32.110 --> 00:36:35.469
some really fucking funny one-liners. Has some really funny jokes.
627
00:36:36.190 --> 00:36:39.030
It is absolutely one that I try to recommend to
628
00:36:39.070 --> 00:36:42.030
as many people as I can. And I just revisited
629
00:36:42.050 --> 00:36:44.699
it for the podcast for this episode. And again, had
630
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:47.920
a blast with it completely. Again, it is readily available
631
00:36:47.960 --> 00:36:51.199
right now on Prime, on Pluto, on Tubi, on Fossum.
632
00:36:51.219 --> 00:36:53.739
So this is not hard to find. When the Screaming
633
00:36:53.760 --> 00:36:58.360
Starts in 2021, directed by Connor Burrow. this is one
634
00:36:58.539 --> 00:37:01.559
that I genuinely would love to see get some more
635
00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:04.039
word spread out about it. Currently sitting at a 5.3
636
00:37:04.039 --> 00:37:08.719
on IMDb and on Letterboxd. It has very few reviews
637
00:37:08.739 --> 00:37:12.619
from people I know. So When the Screaming Starts in 2021,
638
00:37:12.619 --> 00:37:16.739
cannot recommend that enough if you're a fan of mockumentaries. Again,
639
00:37:16.780 --> 00:37:18.699
like What We Do in the Shadows for serial killers,
640
00:37:18.739 --> 00:37:21.110
even The Office for serial killers. I can't sell it
641
00:37:21.230 --> 00:37:23.429
any more than that. It is just so much fun.
642
00:37:26.909 --> 00:37:32.050
Yeah, that is good stuff. There was another one that
643
00:37:32.090 --> 00:37:38.449
I just thought of. Obviously, because we talked about Hocum. Oddity.
644
00:37:38.530 --> 00:37:38.710
Yeah.
645
00:37:39.710 --> 00:37:40.030
Oddity.
646
00:37:40.349 --> 00:37:42.550
So, I haven't seen it yet, but I'm dying to
647
00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:43.639
after Hocum.
648
00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:50.239
Oh, Oddity. So, Oddity is closer, actually has direct references
649
00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:55.820
to his first film. Like, literally, the bunny is in.
650
00:37:57.610 --> 00:37:57.949
Oh, is it?
651
00:37:57.949 --> 00:37:59.840
One of the first shots of the film, yeah.
652
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:04.519
Okay, okay. Shit, okay. Then I'll definitely... I went into...
653
00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:07.320
So I went into Hocum, because Hocum and Obsession kind
654
00:38:07.340 --> 00:38:09.869
of came out so close together. It was Hocum, Obsession,
655
00:38:09.949 --> 00:38:12.010
Back Rooms. All three of those came out so close
656
00:38:12.030 --> 00:38:14.269
together that Hocum just got buried, unfortunately.
657
00:38:16.010 --> 00:38:19.500
And... I think Hocum did well enough that they were
658
00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:21.079
happy that.
659
00:38:20.960 --> 00:38:24.980
Neon was happy with it. Box office-wise, it did fine.
660
00:38:25.480 --> 00:38:29.079
But Hocum, as far as people seeing it, are now
661
00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:32.500
getting the chance to with streaming and whatnot. But in theaters,
662
00:38:32.619 --> 00:38:35.050
it only lasted for a few weeks or whatnot.
663
00:38:35.630 --> 00:38:41.710
I was super happy. I was super happy because Neon
664
00:38:41.750 --> 00:38:45.429
was having this massive sale on their website, and it
665
00:38:45.449 --> 00:38:49.260
was like, buy one, get two free.
666
00:38:50.179 --> 00:38:50.619
Oh, nice.
667
00:38:51.260 --> 00:38:53.980
And I was like, all right, I'll pick up Hokem.
668
00:38:54.059 --> 00:38:57.940
I'll pick up Exit 8. I will pick up. And
669
00:38:57.980 --> 00:39:00.980
then I picked up Keeper as the third one. Which
670
00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:01.619
I was.
671
00:39:02.039 --> 00:39:03.360
Which is fine.
672
00:39:03.400 --> 00:39:05.260
Keeper's fine.
673
00:39:05.320 --> 00:39:07.570
There is definitely an Oz bad Perkins and an Oz
674
00:39:07.619 --> 00:39:09.510
good Perkins. I'll put it that way. Yeah.
675
00:39:09.769 --> 00:39:14.650
I mean, like, Keeper was just, like, fine. I'm fine
676
00:39:14.909 --> 00:39:20.929
owning it. Especially when you get the term free. Yeah,
677
00:39:21.289 --> 00:39:24.309
even with Long Legs. I enjoyed Long Legs.
678
00:39:24.650 --> 00:39:28.210
I told myself I was going to go back and
679
00:39:28.269 --> 00:39:31.000
watch it, and then I just had to. I've had
680
00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:33.820
the opportunity to, and I just have chose something else
681
00:39:33.860 --> 00:39:35.619
because I liked Long Legs, but I don't even know
682
00:39:35.639 --> 00:39:36.840
if I really do want to see it for the
683
00:39:36.860 --> 00:39:39.500
second time, but maybe I should. But, I mean, it
684
00:39:39.539 --> 00:39:42.019
was definitely an unsettling theater experience.
685
00:39:43.820 --> 00:39:44.179
Yeah.
686
00:39:46.750 --> 00:39:51.409
But... That is going to do it on this episode
687
00:39:51.630 --> 00:39:56.139
of Random Access Memories. Thank you for listening. We will
688
00:39:56.320 --> 00:39:58.679
be back, obviously, as we continue through the spooky season.
689
00:39:58.719 --> 00:40:00.440
I know we've got an episode that we are working
690
00:40:00.539 --> 00:40:02.980
on for the Scanners franchise that we're going to be discussing.
691
00:40:03.739 --> 00:40:05.940
And I know that we've got some stuff cooking.
692
00:40:06.460 --> 00:40:11.250
What else do we have? We have the Halloween special,
693
00:40:11.769 --> 00:40:15.329
which is going to be on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
694
00:40:17.530 --> 00:40:20.170
There's going to have James Rolfe, the Angry Video Game nerd.
695
00:40:20.190 --> 00:40:22.190
It's going to have Enrique. It's going to have Mike.
696
00:40:22.889 --> 00:40:25.760
And James literally is going to those locations and has been.
697
00:40:25.780 --> 00:40:27.719
And he has a video up right now going to
698
00:40:27.739 --> 00:40:30.940
those locations. So that will absolutely be a killer discussion
699
00:40:30.960 --> 00:40:32.059
that I cannot wait to hear myself.
700
00:40:32.980 --> 00:40:35.590
And that'll be up probably Halloween.
701
00:40:37.119 --> 00:40:40.110
I would imagine so. We'll definitely be back to clear
702
00:40:40.150 --> 00:40:42.650
this up more when Birdman returns with us. But yeah,
703
00:40:42.670 --> 00:40:44.429
I know scanners we've been talking about. We talked about
704
00:40:44.449 --> 00:40:46.190
the Halloween special. We've got a lot of stuff cooking
705
00:40:46.230 --> 00:40:49.070
in both Loose Cannon and Ram and even possibly a
706
00:40:49.130 --> 00:40:53.909
new show coming that we were discussing. Yeah. But yeah,
707
00:40:53.989 --> 00:40:58.500
that is going to do it for ThisWeekInGeek.net. Ken, thank
708
00:40:58.539 --> 00:41:00.960
you for joining me. How can the good people keep
709
00:41:01.019 --> 00:41:03.000
up with your movie adventures, by the way? What's your
710
00:41:03.039 --> 00:41:04.159
letterbox and your tags?
711
00:41:05.099 --> 00:41:09.380
Again, you can find me at Ken Reels pretty much everywhere, Letterboxd,
712
00:41:09.679 --> 00:41:15.329
Blue Sky, Instagram, which I don't really use, but again,
713
00:41:16.409 --> 00:41:18.550
you can find me, Ken Reels, pretty much everywhere. I
714
00:41:18.590 --> 00:41:20.750
like having a concise brand.
715
00:41:23.530 --> 00:41:28.260
Understandable. You can find me on Letterboxd as well at DavidSWMA,
716
00:41:28.280 --> 00:41:30.679
which stands for David's Watching Movies Again, which is also
717
00:41:30.860 --> 00:41:34.059
my Discord tag as well as my Instagram, so you
718
00:41:34.079 --> 00:41:35.139
can find me there if you want to, if you
719
00:41:35.159 --> 00:41:37.780
want to become friends. Follow me. I post on there
720
00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:39.260
every now and then, but I am way more active
721
00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:41.400
on Letterboxd, so yeah, you can both check us out
722
00:41:41.420 --> 00:41:44.099
there where I think that's prominent ground for both of
723
00:41:44.159 --> 00:41:44.719
us at this point.
724
00:41:46.159 --> 00:41:47.420
Yeah, pretty much.
725
00:41:48.380 --> 00:41:50.840
That is what is happening, so thank you once again
726
00:41:50.900 --> 00:41:54.039
for listening to Random Access Memories on thisgeek.net. I have
727
00:41:54.059 --> 00:41:56.659
been David Oyer with Ken Reels. We will catch y'all
728
00:41:57.260 --> 00:41:58.530
sometime in the spooky season.
729
00:41:58.869 --> 00:42:03.929
Bye. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response.
730
00:42:04.690 --> 00:42:05.449
Were you even.
731
00:42:05.409 --> 00:42:08.929
Close to anything that could be considered a rational thought?
732
00:42:10.489 --> 00:42:13.110
