I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
Yeah, mine's bad.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah, oh mine was Forrest Gump. It was literally my
favorite movie of all time. I know it's controversial now
because he's.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
Like the most evil person in the universe.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
She's evil. Tom Hanks probably shouldn't be playing Forrest Gump.
But I read the books acting listen. I loved Forrest
Gump the book. I love Forrest Gump the movie. It
is my favorites of all time. But yeah, I watched
that movie and let me tell you something. When that
mom died, I have never cried so much in my life.
I organized my entire room afterwards.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
I'm like, I have to make my mom. Oh my god,
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
That's what happened to my brother when he watched ET. Yeah,
so he he cleans his room and my mom's like,
I don't I don't understand what's going on. Your brother
cleaned his room. ET affected him so much. ET phone all.
He wanted it to im nice for my mom. It
was I don't know why, but he became It was
so weird, but that movie ET did it for him.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
Plainness Andrew, So, what went through your brain that rewired
it that.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
His mom just died, and I'm like, oh my god,
if she dies, I left a mess. That's terrible.

Speaker 6 (02:34):
She wouldn't care.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
It's like what am I doing? I'm putting like toys away?

Speaker 4 (02:37):
What is this? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:40):
So that altered me and sweet yeah, And every time
I watched that movie, I cry.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
So you tell your mom?

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yes, And she was like, okay, did not care, not
really pretty much.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
Wow. Well I'm gonna tell you mine. That rewired the
way I think. You may not have seen it. You
may not have seen it. You might have maybe you did, Okay.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
There was a lot of jokes and references to a
certain movie in many of the movies and TV shows
I watched, and I always wondered what these jokes were about,
and the jokes always centered around Deliverance.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
So squeeze.

Speaker 5 (03:21):
Finally, my brother and I are like, Hey, what's these
what are all these Deliverance references? So my brother, I
was like twelve, he was thirteen. We went down to
the Eagle Video and we got the VHS of Deliverance
and we watched it, and that changed the way I

(03:42):
look at the universe.

Speaker 6 (03:45):
That's your biggest concern? Yes, Oh my god, the biggest
concern am I allowed to say the word uh?

Speaker 4 (03:51):
The R word? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (03:52):
Or the biggest concern at any moment is being sexually assaulted,
like any moment. That was his biggest fear during COVID
walking down the show by himself, He's like, someone's gonna
rate me?

Speaker 4 (04:02):
Where did this come from?

Speaker 6 (04:03):
You're not a woman?

Speaker 5 (04:04):
Deliverance because if you watch this movie, you see ned
baby get it on the not.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
In the woods, and it's horrifying.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
You know.

Speaker 6 (04:15):
Let me tell you last time I saw that movie. Actually,
the first time I saw that movie, I got into
Andrew's Fandango account and it's in there, and I was like,
why does Andrew have Deliverance? I'm gonna watch this.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
It's one of those that I know it's like a classic,
but not for like good reasons, but kind of good reasons.
I think it was nominated for an Oscar or like
they won the Oscar or something.

Speaker 5 (04:35):
It's definitely a very well it's a very well made movie.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
Let me put it this way.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
I want to see it. It's just like it seems
the subject matter is a lie for a twelve year
old kid.

Speaker 7 (04:47):
On that note, also, Oscar nominated and a movie that
changed my life.

Speaker 4 (04:53):
It was Misery.

Speaker 7 (04:54):
Kathy Bates, Noel Gibsons, James Kahan. Just, I I always
have felt that I would never ever go away to
a far away place and the cabin and stay there
for the weekend, whether it be with somebody that let's say.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
It was at the time, I was wasn't dated. Le's say,
I wasn't dating my girlfriend Robin, and I was with
somebody else and I was just it freaked me the
hell out.

Speaker 8 (05:24):
It made me think thrice about this because I guess,
how do you say it without giving away the plot?

Speaker 4 (05:30):
Basically, she kidnaps and tortures him. She tortures and.

Speaker 8 (05:38):
Yeah, she basically like ties him to a bed and
then in a crazy way with a hammer because he
tries to escape, and that he ain't gonna be escaping because.

Speaker 4 (05:54):
He's still have to hobble out of there.

Speaker 8 (05:55):
Mister man, she's a psycho and she was trapped in
a cabin, and the whole movie, you're rooting for this
guy to just get out of this cabin and escape
from her clutches.

Speaker 6 (06:09):
Oh does he get out?

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Don't say?

Speaker 4 (06:11):
I want to watch it? See me.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Iconic scene where she does that, but I've never actually
seen the full movie. Watch it won ask for it.
Kathy Bates, Yeah, she did, she did.

Speaker 6 (06:26):
She did.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
It was a Stephen King book to start with, a
horrifying film.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Danielle ter Mine was not a movie, you guys know.
Mine was a little House on the prairie. It was
a double to two episodes where the girl gets rape
of the guy in the clown mask. Changed my life
forever because I was petrified of clowns after that, and
it got so bad that when my mom was pregnant
with my sister, I wouldn't sleep in my bedroom because

(06:53):
I thought a clown was going to come and get
me and do things to me. My mom this is
how she does it. She took all my stuff out
of my room and put it in a garbage bag
and said, you'll get all this stuff back when you
sleep in your room. And I was like, oh, maybe
I need a therapy, but okay, but anyway, so yeah,
I mean, to this day it's not as bad as

(07:14):
it used to be. But to this day I can
see the clown mask on the bottom of the ladder
in that episode, and that, to me, it just made
me think, like that underneath the clown makeup and the
smile is is evil.

Speaker 5 (07:27):
Yeah, how I feel when I see somebody in overalls,
it's terrified. Oh my goddy rewired your brain?

Speaker 4 (07:37):
Or TV show.

Speaker 6 (07:38):
Have you guys seen a movie called Kids?

Speaker 3 (07:40):
No?

Speaker 5 (07:41):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (07:41):
Yeah, good god? So traumatized many a traumatized.

Speaker 6 (07:47):
So it it was probably late nineties, so it had
been out for a while, and my sister was like,
I got this movie. Mom and dad probably wouldn't list
watch it. Let's watch it. So we stayed up late
and we watched it. And when it ended, she to
me so tight and she was like, I'm so sorry.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
I had no idea.

Speaker 6 (08:03):
I'm so sorry. Don't tell Mom and dad.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Can.

Speaker 4 (08:05):
I just sat there and I.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Was like, oh my god.

Speaker 6 (08:07):
Everyone in the world has aids. Oh my god. But
I stand by this. I feel like if they showed
that movie and health classes in middle school, no one
would have sex ever, because that was burned into my brain.
Everybody has aids. Just remember that, everybody has aids. And
to this day, I am so safe about everything because nope,
not on my watch. Oh my god. That one was traumatic.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Requiem for a Dream was also terrifying. Like that's another
one that.

Speaker 6 (08:34):
I watched for the first time on your fandango.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah, let me tell you something. What happens to that
mom is insane?

Speaker 4 (08:41):
Happened the pills.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
She was on the pills, the weight loss pills because
she wanted to be on TV.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
Yes, Oh, that's so movie. It's just everybody heinous spirals. Yes,
it's such a dark, dark, dark plight.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
It's crazy. Yeah, that one altered me. But I think
if we're all talking scary movies, it wasn't scary at
all because it was a terrible movie. But Lost in Space,
the one that had Matthew LeBlanc, it was awful, like
truly one of the worst movies. But they had like
these little spiders that could bite people and then you
turn into a spider. Let me tell you something. I

(09:13):
slept literally like with my whole body under a blanket
and would just leave like a little hole to breathe
out of because I'm like, the spiders are coming and
I can't, like I need to be protected. Yeah, let
me tell you terrifying.

Speaker 6 (09:25):
Oh. On that note, Anaconda, the first one when they're
talking about the thing in the Amazon that if you pee,
it swims up your dick hole. Oh, yeah, oh yeah,
I will never pay in fresh water. I don't have
a dick hole, but still like absolutely not because I feel.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
Like it could still It could still Another one I
just thought of.

Speaker 5 (09:43):
So I was abducted by aliens, which I think I
was prove this, okay with the movie Fire.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
In the Sky, Oh in the Sky?

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Then alien abduction scene terrifying?

Speaker 6 (09:56):
Oh my god, do you think you were actually kidnapped?

Speaker 2 (09:59):
You?

Speaker 6 (09:59):
Do you think maybe that scene in that movie?

Speaker 4 (10:02):
No, because this scene came after my abduction.

Speaker 5 (10:06):
So I can't prove I was abducted, but I have
all of the hallmarks of it.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Can we talk about that in a different episode, because
I really want to, like dig in put on my
like Diane lean or not Diane Leane, Diane Warrant?

Speaker 4 (10:19):
What was.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Diane the Diane Keaton? I want to put on my
Diane Keaton suit, and really asked some questions. Yes, my
Princess Diane.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
You can interview me there, Barbara, thank you.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Did any of you ever see Faces of Death?

Speaker 6 (10:36):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (10:36):
God? What's that? Stupid?

Speaker 6 (10:38):
From the early two thousand.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
So, I was actually at a friend's house and the
mom was dating one of our teachers in the school
in our school. That teacher showed me that of Death. God, yes,
he was dating my friend's mom and he was. He
showed it to us, and it was the one where
because there was a lot of different is the one

(11:00):
where the monkey was in the middle of the table.
Did you see it? And they supposedly suppose it was real,
but I know there was. There's a lot of controversy
around it. They were banging this poor live monkey to death,
opened his skull and ate his brains out. Yeah, it
was discussed.

Speaker 4 (11:16):
It's a compilation death. She said.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
It's so disgusting and so disturbing. And that's just one
thing that it's a compilation.

Speaker 4 (11:26):
You don't want to watch it.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Everybody dies.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
Whether or not it's real. But I think me too,
And I was.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
I was in in you know, I was in like
grammar school, I think, or like, Yeah, it.

Speaker 5 (11:42):
Was people getting their heads run over by Yeah, it's
not good, not.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
Good, Okay, it's very very disturbing.

Speaker 6 (11:50):
We'll say about the mosas the monkey scene and Faces
of Death where its brains were eating was fake, using
cauliflower and stage blood like the gruesome act contact in
the film to blur the lines between real and stage footage.

Speaker 4 (12:03):
You feel better. That was hungry.

Speaker 6 (12:05):
This took such a turn. Start happy, and we're like
sexual assault monkey brains. Oh my god, I leaned induction
up my butt.

Speaker 4 (12:14):
ROC all right, thank you, Andrew Always.
