nothing and you'll love it.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
You know.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
We're in the middle of a heat wave. Aliens are real,
WGA Saga is on strike.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
I stuffed my toe.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Jordan stuffed his toe. We're trying something a little different
this week. We're stealing a concept that a friend of
the pod, David Long, introduced me to by way of
Tim Heidecker's Cinema on Cinema show. Stump the Buff is
the name of this bit. Jordan and I, it may
come as no surprise to you, are trivia dorcs. That's
kind of the bit of the show. Yeah, if you've

(00:53):
listened to.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
The priory, welcome, Welcome to the pod, and so we
are bringing that to bear with a live trivia show.
We are calling Stump the Buff and for.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Maximum Patented tm I Cognitive Dissonance. The two topics that
we have chosen are horror cinema and the Beatles. And
I'll leave it up to you, the listeners, to figure
out who's going to be answering those questions, respectively. So
welcome to Stump, the Buff, Blood and Beetles, a TMI

(01:34):
production executive produced by No One. Jordan, You actually you
were a professional triviaist trivia triviist trivia.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
What's the trivist loser? I think is that's the third term.
Oh yeah, I was. It was my summer job all
through college.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Was I was kind of the the the understudy to
He was actually my third grade vice principal, and we
became friends years later when I was long out of
the school district. He has incredible taste in music. Shouts
to DJJBJ was during the summer months. He just was
such a passionate music fan that he DJed weddings and

(02:17):
retirement parties and bar mitzvahs and all sorts of stuff
in central Massachusetts. And he had a weekly standing gig
at this pub in Clinton, Massachusetts called the Old Timer.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
And this place had been there for a million years.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
There's pictures of like Jack Kennedy going there and the
campaign trail and stuff, and it was this Tuesday night
tradition at this this local pub.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
It was the most fun thing.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
And then whenever he couldn't do it, I filled in
for him and it was a blast.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
It was so funny.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
It was like sort of a dive kind of It
wasn't the kind of place where you'd expect to hear
like Gilbert and Sullivan and like all sorts of like
really obscure music.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah, it was like it was really fun.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
We'd play a music after we'd asked the question and like,
I don't know if the answer was Darryl Strawberry, we'd
play Incense and Peppermint by Strawberry alarm clock or something,
and like.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Try to the more obscure the better.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
So uh, yeah, and so this was really fun for
me putting these questions together.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
I kind of I did my questions by my group
them by theme, oh, which annoyingly yeah, I sort of.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Yeah, I didn't actually like put a list together or something.
I have a couple of tabs open, so you know,
therein lies the difference in our dispositions.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yeah, I got a couple of tabs open. Let's yeah,
this goes well.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Let me let me ask you, are we keeping score
or is this uh this is a gentleman's game among friends.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
You know, the burning competitor in me, who love loves
Thunderdome is inclined to keep score. So I don't care.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah you do.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Can you say that now? In about ten minutes, that's
gonna get on.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Get on's the coffee kicks, and I'm gonna be staring
daggers at you through the zoom meeting. All right, Well,
without further ado, let's get right into it. Jordan as
the gentleman between us, I'm gonna let you go first.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
That's great because my first set of questions is actually
uh subtitled First Things First. That's a series about horror movie.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
First off, I put some poor thought in. I bet
you did. This was supposed to be easy.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
It was for me, for me.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
All right, your first question in the first Things First category,
this is maybe debatable, so I'm very Actually I'm more
curious to hear what you have to say about this.
What is widely considered to be the first horror movie
ever made.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
If memory it is very old.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah, if memory serves it's Meliaise. But I don't remember
the friend. Do I have to do it in the
original French?

Speaker 1 (05:02):
No? Absolutely, I think.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
It's like Devil's It's like Devil's House or the House
of the Devil or something.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Ding ding ding ding ding ah. Yes, the answer it's
a bit.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Of a cheat because he almost any what is the
first is Melias?

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Rightow fair? I would also team ninety six. Wow, is
did Thomas Edison's Frankenstein come up? Because that's a really
interesting one too.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
I did not check that.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
No, yeah, Thomas, But I do like all the stuff
about how Edison like would literally kill his oppositions, because
this is that story about the other not Melia's, but
like one of the original developers of film in France,
like mysteriously disappeared on a train or.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Something that doesn't surprise me. I mean, he killed an elephant,
he probably killed Tesla. Well, who who among us? There
but for the grace of God, Edison did a silent,
a silent treatment of Frankenstein. And it's it's actually it's
it's like the first Frankenstein adaptation. That one's from nineteen ten. Yeah, wow, yeah,

(06:06):
interesting early interesting early cinema stuff with this.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
All right, So well, folks, we're gonna be researching a
lot of this on the fly. Don't tell them that. Well, no,
let me let me ask you what my minor old categories.
I gotta ask you all the Oh you want to
run a category? Okay, yeah, I gotta run a category.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Okay, my next question in the first things, first category,
This was the first American film to feature a toilet
on film.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Uh, it's Psycho, right, WHOA, yes, Wow, I thought I
was gonna get to it that one. Nice.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
Also, I don't know why they shouted this out in
the whatever likelistical site. I was looking at questions on
Also the first US film to show a toilet flushing.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah, and there's a Beatles connection there too, because you know,
it was Bernard Hermann's score for a Psycho that inspired
eleanor Rigby.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Wow, I think it's in Thank you for that. I
think it's in isn't it? Isn't it in here? There
and everywhere?

Speaker 2 (07:01):
The Jeff Emery memoir where he talks about to get
that sound, he was close miking the strings down by
the bridge, which is like it produces a very like
a thin, dry, scratchy timbore on a bode instrument. The closest,
the closest, the closer you get to the anchor point
of any stringed instrument, whether it's guitar or you know,

(07:25):
violin or whatever. The less room the string has to vibrate, right,
So that's how you get this very tight, dry waveform
sound on it, and it's not generally considered a good
quote unquote good tone for a stringed instrument. So he
talks about he would get real close down there, and
the string players would start moving backing away as they

(07:49):
were recording eleanor Rigby.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
I just love that. Here's one just for you. I love.
I'm so glad that I have this question. What were
the first words spoken in Predator? Oh, fudge, Dave's gonna
kill me for this if I can't remember.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
I want to say sagon, but it's not. That's the
other tropical nightmare movie. I is it at the handshake moment?
Is it when he says something, you son of a bitch?

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yes, close, You're okay? What is there? What is it?
You're looking good? Dutch? Ah?

Speaker 4 (08:29):
All right?

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Oh man?

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Who'd have thought that the humble Predator, the humble masterpiece
Predator would have given us that the iconic meme of
the jacked Caucasian and jacked black arms grasping has taken
on such I wonder if people really know that's where
that came from.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
All right, We've got I think four more on this category.
All right?

Speaker 3 (08:52):
What was the first horror film to receive a Best
Picture nomination the Academy Awards.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Rosemary's Baby. No, no, I was wrong, not Rosemary's Baby.
What is Rosemary's Baby? Hmm, it's pretty. When you hear it,
you're like, oh, yeah, of course, I mean the birds. No,
I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
A little later, or actually a lot later, pass the Exorcist.
Oh dumb, Yeah, okay, first, only I would have thought
Rosemary's Baby would have That's like, maybe.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
It was just too yeah, too weird. It's weird. Yeah,
all right, okay.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
Apparently it's the first of only six horror movies ever
nominated for Best Picture, and to date, I believe Silence
of the Lambs is the only one that has won
that award. Which blockbuster film actor made his film debut
in a Nightmare on Elm Street.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Oh that's Johnny Depp. J Depp's Yeah, I love the
early There's so many of those, man. Paul Rudd is
in the Halloween six, pretty widely considered to be one
of the worst ones. Jennifer Aniston is in Leprechaun. Adam

(10:08):
Scott is in the fourth hell Raiser movie. You know,
it's a lot of people's first roles because they're cheap
and easy to make, and the easy roles to get
a lot of the time. But yeah, Johnny Depp is
the one who I think gets sucked into the fountain.
He gets sucked into his bed and like an enormous,
anatomically incorrect guyser of blood, it rubs. All right? Is

(10:32):
that is that my first? Is that my category?

Speaker 5 (10:34):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (10:35):
You have two more? Are? Okay?

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Okay, okay, this isn't really a first, but well, let's slide.
Who did Wes Craven originally want to play the lead
role as Freddy Krueger?

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Oh, David Warner?

Speaker 3 (10:48):
Yes, Yeah, who's best known to me from my beloved
large boat movie Titanic as Billy Zane's valet who.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Tries to shoot them I believe, No, I guess he
has a he isn't try to shoot. Yeah, he's one
of those.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
He's one of those classic British character actors who's kind
of just pops up all over the place and you go.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
That guy love Joy love joys his name. Yeah, yes,
I was.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
You know what, I immediately thought it was just Telly
Sovlis Telly Savalis because you sent me that People magazine
cover with Telly Sepala's shirtless on the cover, and I
was like.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
No, that's not my gold necklaces.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Okay, I lied to you because mostly because I didn't
want you to get mad. I have two more questions
in this category than I've done.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
The Japanese film Ringu from nineteen ninety eight was remade
by director Gore Verbinski, who's famous for directing Pirates of
the Caribbean as the ring four years later in two
thousand and two. In the original Ringo, how did Sadako's
real mother meet her untimely?

Speaker 4 (11:53):
End?

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Ah? This is tough, man, I'm not a big jay
horror guy. Uh. Fire a horse kicked to her? What
is fire? You are? Can I have more information? Please?
What is a house fire? I'm sorry, we can't accept that.
Damn it.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
She threw herself into a volcano. Threw herself into a volcano.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
How do you even find one? Then? There's not an archipelago,
isn't it? Oh? Yeah, okay, all right, fine? You know,
you know God, that's that's commitment to the bit. I mean,
does this mean that you feel oppressing need to watch
Ringo this weekend?

Speaker 2 (12:41):
I you know, maybe there's an interesting divide between what
people consider like classic Japanese horror and then what people
consider jay horror, which I didn't really know because there's
the sort of first period of Japanese horr which has
stuff like quiet On and uh only Baba is influenced

(13:03):
by like traditional Japanese ghost stories and like folk tales,
and there's a term for them that I'm forgetting. But
so it's almost like they were just I mean, it's
not almost. It is like they were just taking stuff
that was passed down through their oral history, and that's
where you get like a lot of these stereotypes, like
the hungry ghost and like different demons and like all

(13:23):
that stuff. And then in the nineties you get this
wave of what they call jahore, which is like a
lot of the stuff that made it over here, like
The Ring and the Grudge and the Eye starring Jessica Alba,
and that is considered a distinct a genre distinct from
that first wave of Japanese horror.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
A just glasses. What a rap it at Jessica Alba.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
She's like a billionaire off of her like GMO free
health crap, like her line of garbage.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Does she still like act no? Because she makes. She's
like it's called the Honest Company or something. This company
there was some kind of lawsuit with it recently. Wow,
you're right.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
She barely acts. Her most recent movie doesn't have a
Wikipedia page. She was in the secret role of Alex
mac for three episodes, though I didn't know she.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
Was in Dark Angel. That's first place I saw and
idle hands. Speaking of horror movies starring Devin Sawah, Seth
Green and the rest, Yeah, yeah, they were sued. She
was sued in twenty sixteen for her stuff had a
lot of a lot of stuff that was marketed as

(14:47):
not having in it.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
Yeah, anyway, good for her.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
And your final question for the first things first category,
which horror movie led to the implementation of the npaa's
PG thirteen rating.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Oh it's Jaws, right, and I feel like we've talked
about this on here too. No, was it Exorcist again?
There were two? There were two? Generally accept that there
are two.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Jaws, Temple of Doom. Oh in Gremlins, Yes, Gremlin and
Temple of Doom.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yeah, I thought Jaws was in there too, But fine,
I still got that right up.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
Counting that for me? All right, Uh, I'm.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Gonna loosely call this, I don't care. Beginning, beginning tools,
beginning tools. Yeah, let's we'll do first, we'll do, we'll
do like a loose kind of firsts category. So everyone
knows that John Lennon's first band was called the Quarrymen,

(15:44):
But where did that name come from?

Speaker 1 (15:47):
His primary school? Cory Bank? Too easy? Too easy, too easy?

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Okay, all right, so I'm okay, okay, okay. So everyone
knows John Lennon and Paul McCartney met at a church party.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yeah, I've been there.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
A fate is how they call it. It's a British phrase,
the fate. I've been to the church, the Woolton village fate.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
So what song did Paul McCartney play for John Lennon
to impress him?

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Twenty Flight Rock by Eddie Crockeran Cochrane. Excuse me?

Speaker 3 (16:23):
Who was an early rock and roll hero in kind
of that first wave with Buddy Hawley and the Richard
and Elvis in the.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
Summertime Blues right and Summertime Blues? Yeah great. I think
he did a version of Blue Suede Shoes too.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
And he died in a car accident in nineteen sixty one.
In England on his tour of England. I think it
was before some of the I think George might have
seen him performed. I think Paul didn't, and he was
always like sad about it. And the person driving the
car I think, I think, I think was named coincidentally
George Martin, who is really of the Beatles producer I believe,

(16:58):
so there was a George Martin, no relation to the
famous George Martin involved in the car accident.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
George, but yeah, the relation, no relation, but yeah, Paul.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
He would always tell us a story about how when
he saw John playing on stage, John was singing the
Dell Viking song Come and Go with Me, which is
an old kind of doo woppy song, and John didn't
know the words, so he would make them up on
the spot by pulling in things that he'd heard off of,
like old blues records by Big Bill Brunsey, so that
the lyrics to the song they're supposed to be come

(17:30):
Come Baby, come and go with me, something about going
beyond the sea.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
I don't know them either. John would say come come
go with me down to the penitentiary, which is a
much cooler lyric it is, but it was something that
that he'd pulled off of these blues records, and Paul
recognized that and he thought, oh, that's that's funny, that's
that's pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
And so he went around back after their their gig,
as they had a mutual friend that introduced them, and Paul,
in a pretty great power move, borrowed John's guitar. Paul's
left handed. He flips this right handed guitar up so
that he plays it sid down. He plays twenty Flight
Rock by Eddie Cochran and he knew all the words,
which was like a huge deal for John because that

(18:11):
that song, anyone who knows it has a lot of words.
It goes a mile a minute, so that I think
he also tuned John's guitar too, because John had only
learned how to tune it off of old banjo tunings
from his mother.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
So Paul was like, what do you know like and
he tuned it normally.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
So yeah, it made a big impact on John, the
fact that he could play this guitar upside down, tune
it and was really good with words and he sounded
like Paul McCartney.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
So uh yeah, it was their their first meeting, so uh,
you know, I'm gonna have to. I'm gonna have to,
you know, turn up the heat. Yeah, I'm gonna have
to just on the fly. Here.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
What is the first book of poetry published by John
Lennon called in.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
His Own Right w R I t E?

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Oh Wait a minute wait published or that he made
when he was when he when he was a kid,
he had his own little like handwritten newspaper that he
called the Daily Howl that he used to just distribute
to classmates at school with just like weird little you know,
goofy cartoons and stuff. So there was that, but that
was never published. But in his Own Right w R

(19:16):
I T Eve was published.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Yeah, No, I'm not counting the zine, the proto zine
that he made.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Have you do you own a copy? Have you read it?
I do.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
It's he's very into Lewis Carroll, so it's kind of
has this like jabberwockee on a puns and kind of
nonsense stuff. I always liked his drawings, his pen in
ink drawings. He was really into like James Thurber and.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Ronald Searle, and it.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
Kind of actually it looks a lot like a lot
of the Ronald Roald Dahl illustrations.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
They're they're very funny.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
Actually had briefly in the sixties collaborated with I don't
know if it was Hallmark or what, but he had
a line of greeting cards for a brief period that
were those sketches of like grotesquely overweight people and people
with like two noses and birds, and yeah, it was.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
His drawings are interesting. Look him up if you haven't
seen him. Interesting.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Okay, So a two part of question, because I the
first one is too easy. Part A is too easy,
and that is which is the first song recorded period
to include dispurposeful distortion?

Speaker 1 (20:31):
I Feel fun? Now? Follow up question which string of
the guitar per day Son of a Bitch?

Speaker 3 (20:41):
So yeah, the story with that was they were, you know,
I mean the Beatles nineteen sixty four single I Feel Fine.
It opens with that wow, which is a cool sound.
That was an accident, according to war I forget it
was Jona George. One of them lay their acoustic electric
Gibson jumbo guitars down and we're going to go up

(21:03):
into the studio control room and go listen to a
playback or something, and all of a sudden, I guess
you know, you lay the guitar down and just the
vibration from it banging against what you just laid it against,
set one of the strings going, and it was it
just sort of feeding back and it's.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
A cool sound like it really it was John and
it was John.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
Yeah, And I know John was the one who was
like because he was really into weird sounds, like the
first reverse tape on I'm Only Sleeping was his idea.
He liked doing those kind of weird, quirky sonic effects.
So yeah, he was like, oh my god, that sounds great.
Can we can we put that on the front? And uh,
that's what they did. How many was that?

Speaker 1 (21:47):
See? This is the thing. I'm not even keeping track
three or four I think figures four. Uh okay, trying
to find harder ones.

Speaker 3 (21:57):
Oh no, yeah, to quote Prince, I can't be played.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
Anyone who tries to play me, he plays themselves. I
got a lot of hits. Uh, some of these are dubious.
Like I just found a source that claimed the Beatles
were the first band to use a drum riser. Can
you verify that? I that I've never heard that. Yeah,
I have to think it's I mean, that's that can't
be No.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
I have to think it's some kind of a yeah,
some kind of a big band, okay.

Speaker 4 (22:31):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
One dubious claim that I've found here that you may
be in the position to shoot down is that the
Beatles were the first rock band to perform at a
classical venue.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
What was that classical venue? I think it was Carnegie Hall.
I know it was Carnegie Hall.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
I don't know, I've I've heard that too.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
I guess rock versus because I know Joan Biaz performed there.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
Sure, that's not the answer I'm seeing here, though. Is
it in America or no? Okay, it's not the Royal
urt At Hall, I guess yeah, I guess Carnegie Hall counts. Okay.
So this answer is wrong because Carnegie Hall Carnegie Country.
Tell me about country.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
The answer I'm seeing here is uh Nipon Budaquern Hall
in Tokyo.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
Oh, that wasn't a classical venue. That was a wrestling Uh.
That was a wrestling arena, okay. And they got into
a lot of trouble because it was supposed to be
reserved for martial arts. And they were the first Western
pop act to perform there, and a lot of the
the the elders in Japan were out in the street demonstrating.
I mean this footage of these these old Japanese men

(23:38):
with big banners.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
I said, Beatles go home. Hell yeah. And it was
a big controversy. Yeah, okay, So who was the first
Beetle to do acid trick? Question? It was John and George.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
They were in to a dinner party for the dentist,
or at the dentist's house. Which do you have that
kind of relationship with your dentists?

Speaker 1 (24:05):
I sure don't.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
Yeah, I never really understood that, but I guess he
was like the kind of dentist to the stars. And
they went to dinner and then they brought their wives
and they were like, okay, we're gonna go.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
No, we're going to go to a club.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
I think they had the friend of theirs was like
opening at one of the local clubs or something, and
we're going to go see his band.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
And they was like, oh no.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
The dentist was like, oh no, don't leave yet. You
haven't had your coffee, and so he served them coffee
with sugar cubes.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
And then after a little.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
While he told John and George and their wives, I
advise you not to leave you've just had acid and
they were dosed without their knowledge, and years later they
speculated that this dentist didn't really know what it was.
He thought it was maybe an aphrodisiac, and he was
trying to get an orgy happening.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
In his house.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
And because I think that that this dentist girlfriend who
was there was like like a playboy playmate or something,
and he just they all suspected that.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
He had these like really ced ulterior motives.

Speaker 3 (25:02):
And it really obviously deeply creeped them out, and they
like left and they didn't really know, I mean, they
were dimly aware of LSD, but they went to this club,
and John always remembered that, like they went into this
elevator because the club was up a building, and like
in the elevator, it felt like they were in like
an elevator going down to Hell, and like the little
red light went on when they hit the floor, and

(25:23):
he thought that the elevators on fire, and they were
all screaming, and it was.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
This horrible night. And then George is.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
Like driving home after at the end of the night
on acid, thinking that he's like driving like a big
submarine or something, and he said, I was driving twenty
two miles an hour the whole time. For some reason,
I really remember that I was afraid to go any faster.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
I was I can't believe people used to do that
in the sixties. Man.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
I was just reading this thing about Carlos Santana talking
about being extremely un mescaline for his Woodstock performance. And
in the interview he talks about the dead.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Man and and.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
He I interviewed him about this, and he told me
it was like, yeah, I thought my guitar was a snake.
And I was like, what you could see it in
his face, like the look of like fear, and he's
like looking at this thing.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
Well when they talk about uh, he talked about the
dead playing with the Dead in San Francisco, and he
was like, And at this point I knew they were
famous to for dosing people. So I made sure to
carefully wipe down my my can. But what I didn't
realize was that they had figured out how to use syringes.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
Jesus.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
When I sneak up behind him, his jab no no
into the can before it could.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Even be before it could even be opened.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
Well, I didn't why, I don't understand that, like this
is the whole Mary pranksters at him.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. I guess I thought it was like
good for people with Jesus. I yeah, it's it's horrifying us. Sorry,
I know this is no fun.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
Well I think like once this it's it's just because
I'm trying to do firsts now.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Oh okay, I don't worry about that.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
Who sponsored the Beatles' first professional tour in Scotland?

Speaker 5 (27:15):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (27:20):
They were backing a teen artist named Johnny Gensil correct
and the.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Guy who.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
Was sort of his manager, it was this guy Larry Parnes.
And this guy Larry Parnes, he had a whole stable
of like Elvis clones, British Elvis clones, and he gave
them all these very tempestuous names. There was Billy Fury
and Marty Wild and they had all these like really
rough and ready names. And the Beatles got stuck with

(27:52):
Johnny Gentle.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Remember they were always like, ah, slight disappointment in the
name department there. Yeah, it was Larry Parnes where that was?
That was correct. I know.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
I'm trying to drag it out. It's no fun, but
I was on who wants to be a Millionaire? They
were like trying to just give the answer right away.
Try to just like make it like, you know, add
some drama. Yeah yeah, yeah, Okay. Who was the first
drummer of the Quarryman?

Speaker 5 (28:23):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (28:24):
That's this is when I I I'm bad with these
kinds of questions. His name was on the drum. It
was like Colin something correct. I mean, I'm not going
to give that something. I'm not going to give you
to shouldn't it's Colin, I said, I said, Colin Felton.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
By the way, I just incorrect. I have no amusing
anecdotes about it.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
Can't give it to you. He is still alive, Yeah,
still gigging plays for a reformed version of The Quarrymen.
That sounds awful.

Speaker 5 (29:02):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Is that is that enough? I think that. I think
that's it. Okay, So I have seven out of eight.
So five out of eight? Oh that's seven. Okay.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
This next category, I think you're either gonna sweep this
or be like I have no idea. Taglines. Oh you
need the tagline, you give me the movie.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Okay, okay, okay. Now I want to preface this.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
My knowledge of horror is so limited that my ability
to judge difficulty is a little off, so apologies in advance.
There are one, two, three, four, five, six, six is
only six?

Speaker 1 (29:37):
Okay your first one? This is great. Please do not
disserb Evelyn. She already is. Oh man, Now, I just
want to be like, who is the Evelyn? Who is
the classic Evelyn?

Speaker 4 (29:55):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (29:55):
In a horror film. I will give it the year, okay, please?
Nineteen eighty three eighty three.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
I was gonna guess like a sixties one eighty three
has got to be like a slasher thing.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
I want to say it's jugic from the title. That
seems right, I said, I've seen the poster. It's not
motel hell no, because getting there? Yeah, getting there? Is it?

Speaker 3 (30:27):
Motel massacre? I will give that to you. It's mountaintop motels.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Son of a bitch, I was so close.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
Guests in a mountain lodge owned by a demented old
woman are dispatched one by one. She uses everything from
a sickle to cockroaches to murder her helpless guests. Hell yeah,
good for her. Oh, I'll give you that, all right,
thank you? Next one, these are all very good. A
horror film with guts, Ah.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
Horror film with guts. I will give it a year.
If you want, yeah, eighty nine.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
These are hard because this requires you to know no, no, no, no,
it's good, but this requires you to know.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
Like posters, some of them you can kind of reverse engineer.
I think that's the hardest one.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Horror film with Guts nineteen eighty nine.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
Do you want actors and actresses? Yeah, Robert Saban if
a lee.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
It's not helpful at all. I don't know. You got me,
he stumped the buff Slime City.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
Slime City, a student moving into a trashy New York
apartment complex meets a prostitute. She curses him to turn
into a homicidal monster. This happens whenever he consumes dairy
products like yogurt, which swy liquefies him.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Oh that's amazing. Yeah, it's funny because okay, so you
know my tangent here is the is that there there
is a subgenre of horror films called melt films or
slime films.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
It's just as gross as it sounds. Yeah, probably the
most famous is The Blob.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
But you would also call the stuff might being included
in there, the stuff, the stuff.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
Yeah, that's a Larry Cohen film.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Larry Cohen is like a real garbage human king of
like New York exploitation films, and this stuff is it's
basically the Blob if the Blob was like unedible consumer
good that people were eating and it was driving them evil.
But the most famous one of probably the most famous
melt horror is a film called Street Trash, which has

(32:51):
some of the most unbelievably disgusting awful but also like
cartoonish because everything's like neon body melting effects and scenes
that ever committed to screen. And it is notable for
being set in or filmed partially in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Whoa yeah,

(33:12):
but a batch of tainted liquor causes the homeless population
to begin melting in disgusting ways. It is also notable
for a film in which a gang of the unhoused
play keep away with another man's severed penis?

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Are they really not pulling any punches with that? Are they? No?
Sure not?

Speaker 3 (33:32):
This is the post subtlety movement in film.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
I think that that was one of the ones that
was included in the British video Nasties era.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
Yeah all right, next tagline, all right, this one's a
little easier. I think it is the easiest tagline on
him God, which horror films tagline is we dare you
to say his name five times? Oh it's candy Man boom, Yeah,
thank god? Not starring Sammy Davis Jr.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
Yeah, did you ever? Did you ever have that as
a kid? Like I had like the bloody may of
the mirror and no.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
Blood bloody Mary was ours? Did you have like a
regional Boston variant of that the whole like say the
name in the mirror in the dark bathroom five times?

Speaker 3 (34:15):
That sounds familiar. I feel like it was like it
wasn't a slender man, because that's a new thing, isn't. Yeah,
it was like I feel like.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
It's like like like Larry Bird in Boston, right, or.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
Whitey Bulger, Whitey Bulger. All right, it has nine lives,
you only have one? Well obviously it's a cat themed one.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Uh huh. So there's a couple that this could be.
Can I get the year eighty eight eighty eight and.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Stars or features at least one of your favorites? Oh
it's the Uninvited? Yeah, okay, what just gave it away?

Speaker 3 (35:08):
George Kennedy? Yeah, okay, that's a classic. That's a that's
a cat because the other one could have been there's
a There's there's a Sleepwalkers, which is a weird one.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
I think that's nineteen ninety.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
It's a Stephen King adaptation that has like pseudo cat
mom that's like very cat themed. Uh, there's a cat
short one in uh yeah. But the Uninvited is a classic,
uh not just for cats being a cat being the monster,
but that it's set on a yacht.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:41):
The blurb I saw was a gangster invites a group
of people for a cruise on his yacht. A mutant
feline escapes from a science lab and attacks the passengers.
Hell yeah, that's it. Sure, hilarity ensues your next one.
This tagline is is a vision of beauty made in hell.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
Interesting, it looks good. Whatever it is, I've never heard
about this. The lead character shares a name with a
former presidential candidate.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
Ronald Reagan. I don't think it was intentional. It's a
pretty generic name.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
Can I get the year eighty eight? If it's eighty eight,
I'm going to guess that's putting it in the maybe
era of stuff that was ripping off Reanimator. Yeah, so
it's it's close.

Speaker 2 (36:36):
Yeah, it's some kind of Frankenstein or like respawning situations.
It's resurrection themed. It's not the resurrection, it's not resurrected.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
It's so close, so swing the resurrector think of think
of beauty, Monica Balucci, Think what Woman without the Wasp? Oh?
Oh uh the Rejuvenator? Yes, yes, yeah, Wasp Woman is

(37:11):
a classic because that's about a makeup executive and that's
considered a pretty groundbreaking film as far as uh, because
it's about a woman makeup executive, and like, it's considered
a pretty proto feminist horror film for having this film
that explores like what it's like to a be a
woman in business and b be like you know, aging

(37:32):
and themes of like beauty and stuff. So that's interesting.
I can't believe I got Rejuvenator.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
An actress due to her age, hires a scientist working
on an elixir for everlasting beauty. This elixir has dangerous
side effects. Besides utilizing fluids from a human brain, it
turns into a ferocious beast. Vivian lank portrays Elizabeth Warren,
an aging actress, and the creature. John McKay plays a scientist.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
Yeah, some of these are. Some of these are extremely obscure,
but go ahead, keep going.

Speaker 3 (38:03):
Ah, your final one. The tag line is it's not
human and it's got an axe. Can I get the
year eighty four?

Speaker 1 (38:20):
Oh, it stars or at least features somebody that we've discussed.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
Oh, come on, we've done one hundred plus episodes of
this show.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
In the in this calendar year. A former child star.
I don't know. I'll give you a hint. I sued
my own mother. Oh okay, well that's obviously Jackie Coogan. Yeah,
what horror movie did Jackie Coogan started in nineteen eighty three?

(38:52):
Four four? I don't know, man, I pass the prey.
I don't know that anything.

Speaker 3 (39:00):
A group of campers fall victim into an inhuman mutilated
man whose motive is affection. Oh, he uses an axe
to cut into his victims. The film is set in
the forest at.

Speaker 1 (39:12):
Night, but it says it just said a human mutilated
man in the tagline is it's not human. I'd like
to contest that one.

Speaker 3 (39:19):
An inhuman mutilation inhuman. I don't know what makes him inhuman.
This is where this is my lack of knowledge of
horror really gets. He's lust for violence, presumably as you
meditate on that. We'll be right back with more too
much information after these messages.

Speaker 1 (39:47):
Okay, all right, all right, all right, so back to
five six. Okay, So I'm I'm getting my ass whipped here.
I'm gonna just give me anything, give me anything. Yeah,
I'm gonna stop them in him. I'm gonna stop seeming
him for what crime was Paul McCartney deported from Germany?
Arson's He set fire to a condom.

Speaker 3 (40:09):
He was, that is correct, he was working for a
I feel like that answer requires a bit of an explanation.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
I'll try to go please please.

Speaker 3 (40:17):
They were leaving the club that they had been booked
to performing in Germany, which was a real dive called
the Kaiser Killer, and they the guy who ran the
club housed the band in these two tiny like cinder
block rooms behind a movie theater, in like a back alleyway,
no windows. I think they had like mattresses with like

(40:41):
Union jacks or British flags as like sheets, which seems
like a veiled like fu after World War two. And
they didn't even have a bathroom. They it was behind
a movie theater. It was it was in the back
of a movie theater, and they just used the movie theater,
but toilet's talls, and it was just this really horrendous place.
So they ended up getting booked into another club, a

(41:03):
better club, and they were moving over to this other place.
And it had been a little testy with the owner
of the initial club because he wasn't real happy that
they were deserting him to his competitor, and so things
were getting a little little weird between him and Paul.
Just as like a joke. I don't really understand why
you would think to do this, but nailed upon them

(41:24):
to a wall and lit it on fire, just so
I left a little like scorch mark on the wall.
Totally concrete room, nothing could have caught fire at all.
But this guy wasn't pleased that they were leaving anyway,
so he sicked the Hamburg police on them, and it

(41:44):
was him and Pete Best actually the Beatles' original drummer
were thrown into a German jail.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
First time in jail terrified him and I can imagine.

Speaker 3 (41:53):
They were reported sent back to Liverpool and then George
was deported too for being underage. The club owner that
they initially been with was happy to turn a blind
eye to him. When they were working for him, But
now they're going somewhere else. Oh yeah, this kid's like seventeen.
And they had like a curfew in the post World
War two, very strict curfew for anyone under the age
of eighteen being out after a certain time. George was

(42:16):
a flouting curfew and so he was deported.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
Didn't have a work perimeter of visa or anything.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
I was gonna make some kind of anti immigrant joke there,
really trying to court the the Red States across the universe.
Was originally on a fundraising album for the world Wildlife
fun which label released it.

Speaker 1 (42:41):
Oh wow, you might have me there it was, Thank God.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
It was the British comedian Spike Milligan, who worked a
lot with He was one of the Goons, one of
the on the Goon Show, the famous radio show with
Peter Sellers. It would go on being the Pink Panther
and all the Stanley Kubrick movies and stuff. The Beatles
worshiped those comedians, the Goons, and George Barton had produced them,

(43:07):
actually done a lot of their their comedy records. So
I don't know why or how, but Spike Milligan crossed
their path and asked them to contribute something this World
Wildlife album that he was doing as a fundraiser, and
they kicked in across the universe. I I don't know,
I have no idea.

Speaker 1 (43:25):
Starline Regal star Line, Still have no idea. Wow, yeah,
a division of them. I They.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
Merger between Colombia and the Gramophone Company. Label was known
for its releases of Salvation, Army Brass Band music, Jesus
So that's the first one I met. Oh No no,
miss oh Oh, and Here you Go, Here you Go.

(43:54):
This is a tough one for a normal person. They
are the same label that originally released which nineteen seventy
seven album by Paul McCartney, released under a pseudonym.

Speaker 3 (44:07):
Percy Thrills Thrillington Correct, which is the orchestral version of Ram,
nineteen seventy one's Ram, which is my favorite Paul McCartney album.
It was basically an in joke with himself while recording
or after having finished Ram.

Speaker 1 (44:24):
He hired an entire orchestra to.

Speaker 3 (44:26):
Do an instrumental version of it, had it all ranged,
and then he sat on it for six years, and
then he started taking ads out in like the local
music papers, putting in like you know, like like in
like society columns, being like Percy three, he gave this
guy his fictional alter ego, Verry Sergeant Peppery, Percy Thrills Thrillington,

(44:48):
this whole backstory of how he, like I forget. But
he took all these like little like society column blurbs
out to give this like fictitious orchestra leader a whole
backstory and then released and I think decades pretended that
he had nothing to do with it. So it was
just extremely costly, not very funny joke that Paul McCartney

(45:09):
had with himself.

Speaker 1 (45:13):
Okay, ping ponging around. Actually no, let's.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
Let's let's let's do uh, let's do a better one
or a more a more appropriate one. Who was the
tailor who designed three of the suits on the cover
of Abbey Road.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
Oh that's good.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
I want to say Dougie Millings, but I think he
did the earlier, like like the famous beetle suits that
you think of when they're all dressed identically in like
A hard Day's Night era.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
Does it look like John Critton? Maybe No, I'm sorry,
that's incorrect, famous Savile Row Taylor, Tommy Knutter.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
Oh, I yeah, I've heard that name ya salvel Row,
which is where the Beatles had their their Apple Records
headquarters and they performed on the roof, which we saw
for in the Get Back documentary. Savarow was prior to
their arrival, just Tailor Central. It was all just these
really high end tailors. A lot of them are still there,

(46:14):
and it's so funny. You go into these oak paneled
looks like something from the Titanic, these really old school
tailor shops at least like fifteen years ago when I
was there, and they have horse saddles that you can
sit on so that when they're tailoring your suits it
looks good when you're like fox hunting or something like

(46:34):
these dressage outfits.

Speaker 1 (46:36):
It's really funny.

Speaker 2 (46:38):
So, speaking of or Abbey Road and Apple Core, everyone
knows that Giannis Alexis Martis, also known as Magic Alex
was a Greek electronics engineer who lost Apple at least
three hundred thousand pounds with his bullsh schemes. Yes, uh,

(47:04):
what was the device that got John Lennon to hire him?

Speaker 1 (47:10):
Oh? Man, I don't know if there was one.

Speaker 3 (47:13):
I know that he would do things like convinced John
and George to give their their very powerful motors from
like George's Ferrari and John's one of his sports cars,
that he was going to build them a flying saucer
that he never did. There was like paint that was
going to change colors, or like act as a force field.

(47:35):
He had, Oh my god, he had all sorts of
these insane ideas that like, you know, there's this great
bit in the Beatles Anthology documentary where he was like, yeah,
he thought he could build this a studio, and all
he ever really did was like, you know, he thought
he would claim that he was on the cutting edge
of technology and only did was like build a toilet
with a radio in it or something.

Speaker 1 (47:56):
It was something with a force field. Close.

Speaker 3 (48:01):
There was a paint job that you could paint your
car and the faster you went the car would change colors.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
That was one idea.

Speaker 3 (48:08):
There was like wallpaper that was like speakers, I think
was like another one.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
Actually, so this this, okay, this question is actually a
complete canard, apparently according to one us. According to The
Daily Beetle, the answer that I found was the nothing box,
which was.

Speaker 1 (48:27):
Just a he didn't he didn't make that. Yeah, yeah, okay,
that is correct.

Speaker 3 (48:31):
Then, the nothing Box was a metal box about the
size of like a foot square. It was a cube,
and it had eight lights, two rows of four on
the front, and they would just flash red and green
at completely random intervals, and it was just like kind
of John thought it was like the perfect stoner tool item.

(48:54):
And he was just so taken with this. I mean,
that was very John. He loved anything that.

Speaker 1 (48:58):
Was like completely used, it's like that. He thought it
was funny, and he bought a bunch of them his
gifts for his friends for like Christmas sixty five. I
feel like and yeah, I don't think he made that though.
I don't think Magic Alex made that.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
Okay, So how about this one. Let me pivot, let
me we'll erase the nothing box question. What was the
lone Beatles song that Magic Alex was nearly credited as
a songwriter.

Speaker 3 (49:25):
On, Ooh That's good Baby You're a rich Man.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
Maybe no, but it was. It was. It was supposedly
supposed to be on White Out. It was supposed to
be on the white album. Yeah it is on. It
later surfaced on Anthology three. Okay, what's the new Mary? Jenny?

Speaker 4 (49:47):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (49:48):
Correct?

Speaker 2 (49:49):
In a nineteen sixty nine interview with n Emmy Lennon
credited Magic Alex with writing half this song, although this
credit was later revoked without explanation.

Speaker 1 (49:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (50:00):
I mean, for anyone who's not so deeply into Beetle
Nerdery that they've listened through all six discs of the
Beatles Anthology set, it's this like it's almost like Revolution
number nine level, like tape loops and music concrete, and
it's kind of unlistenable.

Speaker 1 (50:20):
Yeah, it's not that, you know, it's not good. No, no,
not at all. Ummm, how many was that? I don't know.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
I don't know how many of these You ask them
and then you're like, oh, wait, maybe not so I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
Because I'm doing this live. I think we'll say one more.
I feel like I got one wrong in there.

Speaker 2 (50:43):
Okay, which of these was not an actual nineteen sixties
novelty record?

Speaker 3 (50:50):
Ooh, that's a great question already. I'm okay because they're
all so outrageous. Share did one under the name I
think Brenda or Barbara Mason or Barbara Joe Mason or
something ringo I Love you, And I think it was like,
okay first or one of the earliest, like featured vocal roles.

Speaker 1 (51:10):
But anyway, go on.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
So I'm in a name for and you're gonna tell
me which is the fake spot the fake Okay, okay,
what's wrong with Ringo by the Bond Bonds, stamp Out
the Beatles by the High Riders, the Beatle Bounce by
Bobby Comstock and the Counts, and Boom Boom Beatles by
the Rocketeers.

Speaker 3 (51:32):
Wow, I'm gonna say stamp out the Beatles, because there
is a sweatshirt or a T shirt that the Beatles
themselves took to wearing around Sarch of Pepper era that
that was clearly something that somebody gave to him, that
some reactionaries in America had made. This said stamp out
the Beatles, and with the foot and a little beetle
under it. So I'm guessing that seems if I was

(51:54):
making up a fake answer or a fake you know,
a fake Beatles song, I would probably pick that.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
So I'm gonna say that I'm sorry that is incorrect.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
The correct You were correct about the sweatshirt, obviously, but
the correct answer was Boom Boom Beatles by the Rocketeers,
which is not a real song. Stamp Out the Beatles
by the High Riders is a real song. Let's listen
to Uh, let's listen to a part of it now.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
Uh yeah, I've never heard it. Detroit Band apparently the
high Riders nineteen sixty four. What's good? It sounds like
everything else from this era. A group.

Speaker 4 (52:42):
May at all they were known. Anyway, we're going to
stamp up.

Speaker 1 (53:07):
Weirdly violent. Also, yeah, whip them real good. That's up.
All right, Okay, we'll call that one question.

Speaker 3 (53:15):
Yeah, all right, Well, your next category in the horror
department is what's in a name? I'm going to ask
you for the name of various things from horror movies
here for us, and we're gonna start easy. What was
Freddy Krueger's serial killer nickname before he died? I don't

(53:38):
know that that wasn't you specifically until two thousand and
threes Freddy versus Jason.

Speaker 1 (53:45):
God, that's a great movie. It is alliterative.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
Yeah, yeah, and it's I'm trying to think of the
name of the town, because that's what it.

Speaker 1 (53:56):
Is, The Springwood Slasher. Yes, yeah, nicely done.

Speaker 2 (54:04):
I always confuse it with I always want to say
it's Springfield because the Simpsons, but it is not in
the sixth one, they visit Springwood. Uh, the awful awful movie. Uh,
Freddy's Dead and Roseanne Barr and Tom Arnold have cameos
in that scene, which is a deeply bizarre, deeply bizarre starring.

Speaker 1 (54:22):
And let's bring it back to Titanic.

Speaker 2 (54:24):
Freddy's Dead stars Billy Zane's sister, you were nodding like you,
you were like, yes, of course.

Speaker 1 (54:32):
No, Billy z Ayine's sister was Billy Zayne ever in
a horror movie. He was in The Phantom.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
Yeah, well, certain things about the Phantom are horrifying.

Speaker 3 (54:43):
Well, while we're on the the Freddy Krueger category, where
did was Craven get the idea for the name Freddy Krueger?

Speaker 2 (54:53):
So I know that the origins of Nightmare and Elm
Street are from a couple of things.

Speaker 1 (55:01):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (55:02):
Now I'm doing the who wants to be a Millionaire
thing where you just like talk through your entire Well,
so the concept of it came from this story, this
series of articles about the Filipino or Tagalog community in

(55:22):
La uh, who were plagued by recurring nightmares and actually
died in their sleep.

Speaker 1 (55:29):
So that terrified him.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
And then he also famously talked about the look of
the sweater and the hat came from like a homeless
guy that was like walking through his neighborhood and like
like stared at him through his window as a as
a kid.

Speaker 1 (55:47):
But the name, hmm, I worry this may be apocryphal.
But can I get a hint?

Speaker 3 (55:56):
You are on the right track with him remembering that
person that he saw as a kid.

Speaker 1 (56:03):
Was it like his school janitor or someone figure from
his school his youth, Not janitor. I'm gonna go ahead
and say a bully then a classmate. Yeah, okay, school
bully named Fred Krueger. It's a good name. It's good good,
It is a good name. Mouth sounds good, strong name,

(56:24):
good strong aryan name.

Speaker 3 (56:30):
What is the name of the spacecraft the crew is
bored in Aliens?

Speaker 1 (56:35):
Oh? The Nostromo.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
Yes, yes, I have the I have the hat that
not the hat, but I have the hat that a
repo of the hat that Harrydan stands wearing in the
movie has that the logo of the ship on it. Yes,
I believe it was mining or transport ship from the
Wayland Tawny Corporation and UH commonly confused with the USS Sulaco,

(57:03):
which is the military ship piloted by the Space Marines
in Aliens.

Speaker 1 (57:08):
What years Alien take place? Oh, that's a good question.
I thought that was.

Speaker 3 (57:13):
That's if that's from me. That's not a Oh.

Speaker 1 (57:16):
Uh, I don't know. Let's just find this out live
twenty one two.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
Oh, okay, supposedly maybe I don't know Jesus this yeah,
twenty one twenty two.

Speaker 1 (57:29):
According to the novelization of the film, Yes so Happy.

Speaker 2 (57:37):
The novelization came back. Okay, so that might be apocripse,
it might not be canon.

Speaker 1 (57:43):
All right, we got all right?

Speaker 3 (57:46):
What is the name of the killer who possesses the
doll that becomes Chucky in Child's Play?

Speaker 1 (57:52):
Oh? First and last names?

Speaker 2 (57:55):
Oh man a classic Brad dorrif role. One of my favorites.

Speaker 1 (58:01):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (58:01):
That killer's name is I one of the like manson
esque combinations of.

Speaker 1 (58:11):
A triple.

Speaker 3 (58:11):
They're all triple Lee Harvey Oswald, Mark David Chapman.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
Yeah, triples make it triples make it safe. The killer's
name is Charles Lee Ray, Yes, yeah, as opposed to
James Earl Ray and Lee Harvey Oswald and Charles Manson.

Speaker 1 (58:26):
Is that what that was?

Speaker 2 (58:27):
I'm gonna go ahead and say yes, okay, yeah, And man,
what a what a classic uh reef performance as him, uh,
just doing just doing Danny DeVito essentially like a oh Man,
Child's plays.

Speaker 1 (58:43):
Great. All right, that was easy. This one went. When
Jessica Walter died.

Speaker 2 (58:47):
I I interviewed Tom Holland for the Post, the director
of Child's Play, about it. And because she was originally
the voice of Chucky, uh and she did like a
whole day of recording on it, and I think she
might have done the whole movie, or at least enough
of it to get into test screenings. And because she

(59:07):
had just done play Misty for me and Tom Holland,
director Tom Holland, not Spider Man actor, Tom Holland saw
her in that and cast her in Child's Plays the
voice of Chucky, and they did they did it and
then went into test screenings and it came back and
he just said it came back not good.

Speaker 1 (59:26):
So they replaced her with Brad do Reef. That's cold. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
all right.

Speaker 3 (59:34):
This one's a little tougher, I think, although I don't know,
there's so much low on this movie. Maybe it's not
what was Halloween originally going to be. Called maybe Sitter Murders.

Speaker 1 (59:43):
Yes, yeah, And it's funny because I think they were
looking for a title for it and they were like
gobsmacked that Halloween hadn't been taken. Ah.

Speaker 2 (59:55):
And one of the reasons that Friday the Thirteenth sucks
so bad is that I hate Friday the thirteenth. I
think Jason is like cool, but as a movie franchise
it's hot ass, and I hate it specifically because the director,
Sean Cunningham of the first one was like a porn
director and Halloween was like this enormous financial success. It

(01:00:19):
was like this crazy I think for a time it
was the most successful independent film of all time, and
he was like from porn, was like, oh, I'm going
to get in on that. What other holiday can I do?
And he was like again gobsmacked that Friday the thirteenth
hadn't been taken, and just took out a full page

(01:00:41):
ad in the trades saying touting this movie Friday the
thirteenth that hadn't been made or written yet and was
just like in Variety and like you know, deadline or whatever.
All the trades was like Friday the thirteenth, a new
vision in horror or whatever, and a bunch of distributors

(01:01:01):
where immediately like called the production offices and we're like, oh,
get me Friday the thirteenth, And he was like, well,
I guess I gotta make a movie now, So.

Speaker 3 (01:01:11):
Well, dovetailing with that, I again, I trust you more
than these randomisticals I found. But what was almost the
title of Friday the thirteenth?

Speaker 2 (01:01:20):
Having said that, I have no idea.

Speaker 3 (01:01:24):
What I've seen is long Night at Camp Blood. Umm,
maybe qualify that.

Speaker 2 (01:01:32):
Maybe, yeah, I don't know, Maybe I'm not sure how
I feel about that.

Speaker 3 (01:01:37):
All right, just qualified on the topic of camps. In
the cult classic sleep Away Camp from nineteen eighty three,
what's the name of the camp the kids attend?

Speaker 2 (01:01:47):
Ooh, that's a good one. Famously transphobic film sleep Away Camp.

Speaker 1 (01:01:52):
Uh. You know, obviously the famous one is Crystal Lake
in Friday the Thirteenth. Camp It's it's like it's it's
like a uh, it's like camp on Ajuana. I was.
I was just about to say, it's like a Native
American thing camp uh, Arrowwhack Camparauac Campara.

Speaker 3 (01:02:10):
Yes, Yes, nicely done. All Right, We've got one, two, three, four,
we got five more.

Speaker 1 (01:02:16):
Unstated in the movie. What's the name so you know
for yourself?

Speaker 3 (01:02:26):
What is the name of the demon that possesses Reagan
McNeil in The Exorcist?

Speaker 1 (01:02:30):
Oh? Did you know that? Oh? That's a classic.

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
In fact, when I was at People, one of the
one of the few crime stories I worked on was
this horrifying thing down in like North Carolina or something
where this guy uh uh it was like I called
himself Pazzuzu.

Speaker 1 (01:02:48):
Jesus. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:02:50):
Oh, I should have asked this when we were on
the Alien Train. What is the name of the planet
where the crew discovered the alien eggs?

Speaker 1 (01:02:57):
In Alien?

Speaker 5 (01:02:59):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:02:59):
Is it? Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:03:02):
It's a number. It's like a number combination, right. Uh,
it's l V because people celebrate it every year in April.
It's l V four to six. Yes, nicely done. Yeah,
because four twenty six is Alien Day in some circles.
But there's a lot because there's different, there's different they

(01:03:25):
do the same designation in like different movies.

Speaker 1 (01:03:28):
Yeah, all right, I like this one. This one I
won't be able to niche.

Speaker 3 (01:03:31):
What is the name of the book that Ash puts
on top of the garbage can to trap his several hands?

Speaker 1 (01:03:37):
Farewell to arms.

Speaker 2 (01:03:38):
Yes, because it's right after he cuts off his own arm.

Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
Yes. Nice.

Speaker 2 (01:03:43):
Okay, I just rewatched All the Evil deads because because
the new one just came out.

Speaker 1 (01:03:48):
Funny funny.

Speaker 2 (01:03:49):
On the topic of eighties horror movies referencing classic literature,
the one of my the few good Friday the Thirteenth
movies is I think it's New Blood or.

Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
New Beginning of the fourteenth.

Speaker 2 (01:04:02):
Friday the Fourteenth, part sixth, and there's a there's a
random shot in that film. This is the one that
I like because it's got a kind of a sly
sense of humor. One of the kids at camp, this
little nine year old girl, they like pan over them
is they're like going to sleep at night, and the
girl is reading Jean Paul Satra's No Exit, which is

(01:04:24):
such a deeply bizarre thing to throw into like a single,
like a couple frames of film. So that's the best
Friday the thirteenth in my opinion, solely for that bit.

Speaker 1 (01:04:35):
All right, Tumar. In Clive Barker's original novel The Hell
Bound Heart, what is Pinhead's real name? Uh? I don't
think he has a proper name. Isn't his title The
Hell Priest? Yes? Yes, yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:04:49):
Fun.

Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
Also a fun fact they tried to give him the
original makeup in that movie was they tried to give
him actual pins and they weren't showing up on film,
so they had to re sculpt them as like actual nails.
But yeah, Clive Barker famously doesn't. He thinks that name
is not dignified enough for his hell priest.

Speaker 3 (01:05:08):
Okay, and your last question for a clean sweep of
this category, what is the name of the giant zombie
proof vehicle in Land of the Dead.

Speaker 1 (01:05:20):
Oh, damn.

Speaker 2 (01:05:25):
Uh not one of my favorite romeros. Actually, I don't
know it. I'm not gonna get this. All I know
is I think, like the lead zombie in that is
this big. I think they don't they call him like
big Daddy or something. No, I have no idea what
the name of the vehicle is.

Speaker 1 (01:05:40):
What is it?

Speaker 3 (01:05:41):
Well, you know what, I just I miscounted that this
is actually number eleven of this category. I thought it
was just a ten. So we're gonna call this We're
gonna call this just a bonus farkay, We're gonna say
you sweeped it with ten. The name of the giant
zombie proof vehicle in Land of the Dead is Dead Reckoning, Okay,
all right, I'd records like, yeah, we're gonna call that

(01:06:01):
a perfect score. We're gonna that's ten.

Speaker 2 (01:06:04):
I'm creeping back, creeping back, okay. John Lennon played lead
guitar on three out of these four songs, m Okay,
which is the odd one out, M Honey Pie, get
Back you can't do that, and bad.

Speaker 3 (01:06:27):
Boy Wow okay, So honey Pie you can hear Paul
kind of call off to John in the middle of
the solo, and John kind of reacts to playing it,
So that's definitely one. Get Back is another one because
he would later say something kind of bitchy, and I
think it was the Yon winner at Rolling Stone interview
in nineteen seventy, right after the breakup, when he hated

(01:06:48):
everybody being.

Speaker 1 (01:06:49):
Like, oh yeah, I played lead guitar on that.

Speaker 3 (01:06:51):
When Paul was feeling kindly, he would give me a
solo to play.

Speaker 1 (01:06:56):
So that's that. You can't do that. That was very
much a like that, and I feel fine.

Speaker 3 (01:07:04):
We're very like riff bassed songs and it's kind of
like baked into the song. So I would guess that
John played that just because it's so integral to the song,
although George came up with the the and I love Her,
so I guess that isn't doesn't immediately prove it. I'm

(01:07:24):
gonna say bad Boy sounds like him though, so that's
also probably high on the list of the most obscure
Beatles songs. Ever, it's a cover of a Chuck Berry song.
I think that is not correct.

Speaker 1 (01:07:38):
Is a cover? Is a cover of Larry Williams?

Speaker 3 (01:07:41):
Yeah, it is, yeah, pro I'm gonna say you you
can't do that, because that's just you would have to
be playing the riff as you're singing, and John, by
his own.

Speaker 1 (01:07:52):
Admission, wasn't coordinated enough to do that kind of stuff.
I'm gonna say you can't do that. According to this
it is bad Boy. Wow. Okay, that's real deep cut there.
Although I you know, yeah, that's that's like one of
the most obscure. It wasn't It wasn't even released in America.
I don't think. Oh no, the am I yet was. Okay,

(01:08:15):
let's see what else we got here, all right, that's
a good, good question.

Speaker 2 (01:08:19):
I mean, these are insane and and that's the only
reason I'm going, uh, I'm going on these.

Speaker 1 (01:08:27):
Let's go with another.

Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
I don't I have I have no idea what this
could be, which Lennon McCartney original was performed by the
Beatles for the BBC but never recorded for em.

Speaker 1 (01:08:41):
I I'll be on my way, son of a Bitch.
That is correct. It's a great song.

Speaker 3 (01:08:48):
I don't think it was ever because you know, there
are a lot of songs, especially in the early days,
pre like you know, pre everything they did being considered
art back when they were just jobbing song right is,
basically they wrote a lot of songs, especially for other
groups that were managed by their manager, Brian Epstein. He
had a whole stable of artists and they would give

(01:09:10):
a lot of songs to acts like Stilla Black and
I Think the Foremost was another one. And then Paul
McCartney was dating this actress Jane Asher, and her brother
Peter Asher was in a group called Peter and Gordon
and they got really famous doing a bunch of Lennon
and McCartney songs, the World Without Love, I Think I
Don't want to see You Again as another one. In fact,

(01:09:33):
they were so angry that people just thought that they
were getting Lennon and McCartney handoffs that Paul wrote him
another song, but he used a pseudonym because he was
sick of everybody accusing them of just, you know, being
a vehicle for Paul's songwriting side gigs.

Speaker 1 (01:09:47):
So a song called Woman. I think they used the
name Bernard Webb. The question.

Speaker 2 (01:09:57):
This one is insane. I could not even tell you.
I couldn't even begin to tell you.

Speaker 1 (01:10:04):
Well, don't you have the answer there? No, I'm doing
this live. Uh it isn't it is?

Speaker 2 (01:10:11):
It's It's okay, all right. Which Beatle narrowly avoided the
nineteen sixty seven drug raid on Redlands, the home of
the Rolling Stones.

Speaker 3 (01:10:20):
Keith Richard, This is embarrassing. I'm actually I feel like
it was due to George or Paul. I'm gonna say
George correct.

Speaker 2 (01:10:26):
It was George Harrison. George and Patty Harrison left the
party around eight pm, just as police officers were outside
preparing to launch the raid.

Speaker 3 (01:10:36):
I mean, the whole thing was set up by the
I think it was the News of the World newspaper,
which was this tabloid.

Speaker 1 (01:10:42):
I think it was one of the Rupert Murdoch tabloyds.
I think it just shut.

Speaker 3 (01:10:45):
Down recently when they were embroiled in some scandal for
tapping people's cell phones I think like maybe ten years ago,
And yeah, they'd been just tipped off, like it was
a whole hullabaloo. They told the police, and then the
police in return like told them wh they were going
to show up, and then they were there with like
cameras and stuff. It was a whole thing. Like the

(01:11:05):
British press in this era, probably any.

Speaker 2 (01:11:07):
Area, any era. They're the worst people in the world.
It's insane, Okay. In December of nineteen seventy four, where
did John Lennon sign the papers to officially dissolve the
Beatles partnership Disney World.

Speaker 1 (01:11:22):
Correct.

Speaker 2 (01:11:23):
According to May Pang, he finally picked up his pen and,
in the unlikely backdrop of the Polynesian Village Hotel at
Disney World, ended the greatest rock and roll band in
history by scrawling John Lennon at the bottom of the page,
I should have gone with them, I should have gone
with which hotel at Disney World.

Speaker 1 (01:11:43):
Yeah, I know, yeah that I would have. I can
see the pictures, pictures of it. I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:11:46):
The funny thing with that was, you know, the legal
hassles of dissolving the Beatles partnership took years.

Speaker 1 (01:11:54):
I mean Paul first filed.

Speaker 3 (01:11:56):
Made a legal issue in December of nineteen seven, so
it took four years and they got all the paperwork
arranged and they John's living in New York, or at
least was mostly based in New York at this time,
although it might have been when he was in La
most of the times, but anyway was New York wasn't
hard for him to get to and so they went

(01:12:17):
to the Plaza Hotel and Paul flew in from England,
George and Ringo Fluin.

Speaker 1 (01:12:24):
From I think England.

Speaker 3 (01:12:25):
They came to a place that was very convenient for him,
and then he just refused to show up to sign
the papers because the numbers weren't right or something. I think, actually,
you know what, This was right around when he was
getting back together with Yoko, so yeah, I think he
was up there and yeah, he was just like, couldn't
come across the park to sign these papers. And then eventually, yeah,

(01:12:47):
during a Christmas trip in December nineteen seventy four, and
he was one of the few times he was with
his first son, Julian, he signed them down there with
his girlfriend that he had when he was separated from
Yoko Maypang on hand to bear witness. And I think
she took some photos too, That is correct. Documentary about

(01:13:09):
her just came out.

Speaker 2 (01:13:10):
Uh, all right, this is crazy, which US actress recorded
a reaction song to John Lennon's Two Virgins album cover.
The name of the song is John You Went Too
Far This Time. The pseudonym she recorded it under is
Rainbow minus the W.

Speaker 3 (01:13:32):
This sounds really familiar and I don't remember. Can you
give me the world's smallest hint?

Speaker 1 (01:13:40):
Yes? It was written by no completely unhelpful. Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:13:47):
One of her most prominent roles is in one of
the more famous horror films, Uh that you would you
you might be aware of chant Lee no no, no no,
if I give you The film was directed by.

Speaker 1 (01:14:02):
Brian de Palma. I don't know Mary Elizabeth Sissy spasic wow.
I that I had no idea.

Speaker 2 (01:14:14):
And that the film I was referencing was Carrie Let's
let's take a listen to it. It's called a John
You've Gone Too Far This Time? Written by J.

Speaker 1 (01:14:27):
Marshall and R. Doltka forty five forty five rpm. Uh,
let's see includes the lyrics.

Speaker 2 (01:14:36):
Now I gaze in awe. Before that picture, my mind
retires to the place it was before you came. I
love the things you showed me up till now, but
since that picture, I don't think my love will be
the same. A response to the Two Virgins album cover.

Speaker 3 (01:14:52):
That's a famous naked album cover.

Speaker 2 (01:14:55):
Yes, I didn't know Sissy Spacek was such a prude.

Speaker 4 (01:15:02):
Everything you asked of me, I did that, John, from
holding hands to living in a sunlight sun Lorie, and.

Speaker 5 (01:15:11):
You were something special.

Speaker 4 (01:15:13):
You said, John, that you had more decidles than a
man who was too great.

Speaker 5 (01:15:23):
Joch.

Speaker 2 (01:15:46):
That is fucking nuts. I feel like I'm about to
d m this to you. I feel like I'm on
acid now. That sounds like a weird Wes Anderson like
Needle Drop and or something from like like a sixties
folk horror movie like Wickerman or some good lord that's weird.

Speaker 1 (01:16:08):
Who knew Sissy space It kind of had a musical career. Yeah,
I didn't know that. Wow, I'll send you a stand.
How many weak up to you? You were trying to
actively destroy me in this rend. I very much was.
I haven't even been paying attention.

Speaker 2 (01:16:22):
It's funny that I'm I'm giving you the harder questions
and also expecting you to keep score and keep track
of all of the questions.

Speaker 1 (01:16:30):
I don't know who gives a ship this is? This
is this is the feasy one? You want one more?
You want more?

Speaker 2 (01:16:39):
Oh my god, this is just this is insane. Which
of these London addresses was not a home to apple Core?

Speaker 1 (01:16:49):
I'll get it. Wait now, don't you don't you know what?

Speaker 3 (01:16:52):
Don't don't even say anything. Don't even say anything. Baker
Street was one. Savile Row was one. What are there?

Speaker 2 (01:17:01):
Twenty seven Ovington Square, thirteen Monmouth Street, ninety five Wigmore Street, Monmouth.
I answered it, and then they closed the window.

Speaker 6 (01:17:15):
I have to go back. It was the first one
I saw. Whatever that was Overton?

Speaker 1 (01:17:26):
It was? Was it Overton? That was?

Speaker 2 (01:17:28):
That was supposedly the answer? Let me double check. Now
having done these, I can go back and get all
the answers correct. Beatlesbible dot Com thank you for these.
Stump the buff answers, questions and answers.

Speaker 1 (01:17:44):
That's a great website. I can't believe you got the
I'll be on my way one. That's just insane to me.

Speaker 3 (01:17:51):
Oh, it's a great song and it's the only it's
a cute little early.

Speaker 1 (01:17:55):
Lennon McCartney song. It's the only known recording of it. Okay,
did you tell I still? Because I don't remember what
all you I don't remember what you have. Yeah, I
don't remember what all you.

Speaker 2 (01:18:06):
Points are made up and none of this matters. Yes,
twenty seven. Oh no it wasn't. It was Monmouth, son
of them.

Speaker 1 (01:18:12):
No, great MoMath is what I said.

Speaker 2 (01:18:14):
Okay, well, all right, so you got that one right,
all right, bring it, give me, give me, bring it.

Speaker 1 (01:18:18):
Back to me. All right.

Speaker 3 (01:18:20):
The name of this category is it's a numbers game.
Every answer is a number. A question number one in
the ring?

Speaker 2 (01:18:30):
How long do people have seven days after watching? Okay,
we used to prank people when that movie came out.
We would, you know, we would just call random numbers
and say seven days. Oh that was the only like
prank calling I ever did as a kid. Actually, that
surprises me. I thought you would have had like the soundboards.

Speaker 3 (01:18:47):
No, no, never got that far. Yeah, here's one just
for you. How many times does count Orlock blink throughout
the entirety of his appearance in Noasparatu.

Speaker 1 (01:18:58):
Oh God, that's tough. I have no idea even or
odd single digit? Yes? Seven? Think about no? If?

Speaker 3 (01:19:14):
If, what's the most dramatic thing a person who does
blink at some point?

Speaker 1 (01:19:19):
What's the most dramatic number? I mean one drama? Is
it one? Yes? Once? He blinks once? How did they
even see that? That film is like grainy as hell?

Speaker 3 (01:19:32):
I go, okay, all right, I think this is right,
But I feel like you're gonna be like there's something
that was done after this question was written? Which horror
movie franchise has the most sequels?

Speaker 1 (01:19:46):
Uh? Is it Children of the Corn? Not what I'm seeing. Hmmm,
it's either Children or the Corn or hell Raiser. I'll
say hell Raiser? Is that correct? Also? Not correct? Not
what I'm seeing? Damn? What is it? What are they
counting I'm seeing? I'm seeing Friday thirteenth with twelve. Uh yeah,
but that has a remake in it. I'm not sure
if that I guess, I guess if we're counting remakes,

(01:20:07):
yeah then sure sure yeah, so it's yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:20:13):
But speaking of Children of the Corn, at what age
does the cult consider someone to reach adulthood?

Speaker 1 (01:20:20):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:20:20):
Okay, uh, nineteen, I'm seeing eighteen?

Speaker 1 (01:20:25):
Ah so close, son of bitch? How many individuals.

Speaker 3 (01:20:31):
Die at the hand of Jason in the First Friday
the Thirteenth movie.

Speaker 1 (01:20:34):
Trick question zero correct as scream correct as scream indelibly
reminded us Pamela of Voorhees is the killer in the
First Friday the Thirteenth film, although although it does have
one of the more famous horror movie stingers where he
pops up at the end and drags the loan survived

(01:20:55):
the final girl into the water, so in theory that
you could maybe soft pedal bad as a one. But
I'm gonna give you we'll also accept that.

Speaker 3 (01:21:10):
The only scenario I can think of where how many
people did somebody kill, we would accept none or one.

Speaker 1 (01:21:18):
It's another thing ripped Actually it's ripped off from Carrie.

Speaker 2 (01:21:21):
It's another reason why that movie's been awful, because they
were like, well, we need a stinger, we need to carry.
We got to do the carry famous carry jump scares.
The nice girl is visiting her grave at the end
and the hand pops out. It's great, one of the
classic great jump scares. And Uh in Front of the
thirteenth was like, ah, yeah, let's do that. Let's have Uh,
Let's have Jason pop out of the water at the end.

Speaker 3 (01:21:41):
Garbage franchise, uh, speaking of also not a franchise, but
speaking of garbage movies. What is used to suppress the
evil Leprechaun's powers in the film Leprechaun?

Speaker 4 (01:21:51):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:21:51):
Well, you can trap him with a four leaf clover?
Is that the answer? Yeah, that's the answer. Jennifer Andison first,
probably first first starring, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:22:05):
And finally and then on kind of a downer note,
how many people involved with the Exorcist film died during production?

Speaker 2 (01:22:13):
Oh, that's a good question because this is one of
the films that's considered cursed, right because.

Speaker 1 (01:22:23):
The set cost fire. If I recall, other people were injured.
There were there were like making of injuries. But how
many people died? Is it on set people or is
it that I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:22:42):
I probably should have looked at the answer with the
story behind them.

Speaker 1 (01:22:47):
Yeah, now I don't know that. What did they say,
I'm seeing nine nine? Yeah? Do you have a do
you have concitation? I know?

Speaker 2 (01:22:58):
So two actors died because there is like a flu
there was like an flu epidemic, and different elderly actors
died during production because the thing took almost a year
to shoot.

Speaker 1 (01:23:07):
But nine.

Speaker 3 (01:23:08):
Okay, so here here's I think how they're breaking it down.
Fire broke out on the set and led to the
death of three workers. Second day of filming, the actor
who played father Maren Max fun Siddo had the withdrawal
from the set due to the sudden death of his father.
Linda Blair's grandfather also died days later before the premiere

(01:23:29):
of The Exorcist, actors Jack McGowan and Liskis.

Speaker 1 (01:23:34):
They died of the fluid.

Speaker 3 (01:23:36):
One of the technicians from the Exorcist was killed, while
night guard was also found on set dead.

Speaker 1 (01:23:42):
I'm seeing four in another one of these. But so
let's say between between two and nine.

Speaker 3 (01:23:49):
Yeah, the grandfather, the grandfather and father thing is maybe.

Speaker 1 (01:23:53):
And they bombed the IRA bombed. Oh no, that's the
omen I'm thinking of. Oh yeah, that's Richard. It's Richard Donner.
That's another supposedly cursed production. And that is the end
of It's a numbers game. We're gonna take a quick break,
but we'll be right back with more. Too much information
in just a moment. Wow, I don't know how many

(01:24:26):
more of these I can pull out. Google very hard
Beatles trivia. How well do you know the Beatles' music band.
You're the one who told me to pull seventy five questions?
Did I? Yes, you said how many questions should we have?

Speaker 3 (01:24:46):
And you said seventy five, and I was like, all right,
I'll pull fifty five.

Speaker 1 (01:24:50):
I was just making fun of you.

Speaker 2 (01:24:53):
It's definitely just pulling that number out of my ass.

Speaker 1 (01:24:58):
Seventy five. That's like four hours of context. I know.

Speaker 3 (01:25:02):
I'm always just like a sprinted fine like I don't
really know what this means.

Speaker 1 (01:25:07):
I'm so sorry you took me seriously.

Speaker 2 (01:25:15):
In an infamous newspaper piece which Beatles song did a
journalist praise for its use of the Aolian cadence.

Speaker 3 (01:25:22):
That's a great question. I know it was like a
sixty four era song. I want to say the things
we said today. I don't think it was Maybe it
was all my loving no, no, no, no, I want
to hold your hand.

Speaker 1 (01:25:36):
No, I don't know. Not a second time. Ah. I
knew it was like an obscure one like that. But
and the journalist was William Mann of the Times. Yes.

Speaker 3 (01:25:49):
When Ringo was asked about this, he said, an Aolien
cadence sounds like a rare bird.

Speaker 2 (01:25:54):
Yeah, noting that the same chord progression appears at the
final movement of Mahler's lead von.

Speaker 1 (01:26:01):
So there you go. What is Ringo's highest note on
a Beatles song? A G four?

Speaker 3 (01:26:08):
Probably a little help from my friends, A little help
from my friends. That like the end of little help
for my friends.

Speaker 1 (01:26:14):
Nope, what this says? Carry that weight? Okay, I challenge that.
All right, well, no, that's a fun one. That's a
fun one. Okay, hang on, let's let's let's.

Speaker 3 (01:26:27):
That they made a big deal about him, like he
was really nervous when they were when they been, John
and Paul made him sing with the help of my friends,
and they came down into the studio with him when
he tracked the last line of that song, and they
were like just off Mike, like big upping him, which
is adorable. And that's a hard note to hit, like

(01:26:48):
for anybody. Also, I mean, I'm not even one hundred
per centuries in.

Speaker 1 (01:27:01):
That chorus, I guess he is.

Speaker 2 (01:27:04):
Yeah, I mean, we're out of I'm just kind of
tempted to open my copy of the Jeff Emrick book
and just start grilling you on studio minutia, which I'm
sure you know.

Speaker 1 (01:27:15):
I'm not good with tech stuff. What should we do? Gear?
Try to do gear? Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:27:20):
Yeah. So the Beatles are famously associated with Gretch Hoffner Rickenbacher.
But which seventies weird twelve string acoustic can be seen
in the movie Help and Hurt on You've Got to
Hide Your Love Away.

Speaker 3 (01:27:40):
I have one, actually, my dad was one of his
early guitars in the sixties. I don't think it was
related to the fact that the Beatles played it.

Speaker 2 (01:27:47):
I think it's a Framous, that's correct, the Framous Hooton
Anni model, well done? Which Gibson model was given to
Bob Dylan by George Harrison, one of the more okay
famous models.

Speaker 1 (01:28:02):
I imagine it was an acoustic because Hummingbird.

Speaker 2 (01:28:08):
No, that Gibson J two hundred Oh okay, that's a
tough one. Doesn't have a fun name, doesn't have a
fun name. Which George Harrison Gretch model can be seen
on the cover of the album Club nine Duo Jet.

Speaker 1 (01:28:26):
Correct.

Speaker 3 (01:28:27):
You know that was his first like nice because that's
a late era solo album. I think it's from eighty seven.
That's one of the ones that has got my mind
set on you. Yeah, it was last big hit songs,
and yeah, he was saying how like he he always
treasured it because it was his first English guitars in

(01:28:48):
that era weren't great, and that was his first high
quality American guitar, and he always remembered going to get
it one night with some enormous amount of cash in
his pockets and he was terrified he was gonna get mugged.

Speaker 1 (01:28:58):
So yeah, it's cute that he. Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:29:00):
They all offer the most, for the most part, held
on to their their instruments, which I think is the
sign of.

Speaker 2 (01:29:06):
A I was just about to say, I'm sorry you
just said that, because I was gonna say George Harrison
was famed for giving away his instruments.

Speaker 3 (01:29:15):
Well yeah he as like, but like as gifts to
his likes treasured.

Speaker 2 (01:29:21):
Yes, and so so. One of the rarer models of
Gibson Electric guitar that George is associated with is a
Gibson SG which he can be seen playing in the
promotional videos for Paperback Writer Rain and the filming of
the recording session to Hey Bulldog.

Speaker 1 (01:29:37):
What became of that guitar?

Speaker 4 (01:29:40):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:29:40):
Wow? Who is it? Given to? Closely associated Beatles? Act? Wow?
I don't know if I remember I don't know. Pete
Ham of Finger, Yes, oh that makes sense. George produced.

Speaker 3 (01:29:57):
I think George produced day after day or no, maybe
it's no matter what one of the big bad Finger songs.

Speaker 1 (01:30:04):
Yeah, day after day okay. Paul McCartney is most famously
associated with the Hoffner violin bass, as well as the
Rickenbacker Model four thousand and one. Which recording sessions did
he deviate from those using a Fender Jazz bass.

Speaker 3 (01:30:24):
It was later, I want to say. It was like,
come together, you get the album or song albums Abbey
Road m h.

Speaker 1 (01:30:37):
Correct, and I think a little bit of the White
album correct according to Qua, like you've dumped all of
your questions to try to get our ones to foil me.

Speaker 2 (01:30:52):
Yeah, yeah, I sure did. Uh Well, you were just
blowing me out of the water earlier.

Speaker 1 (01:30:58):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:30:59):

Speaker 3 (01:31:05):
I don't know if it's popularly associated with but they
used a Vox continent all correct, and I'm down yep?

Beatles connection got for all those early Doors records like
all the Light My Fire and stuff like that.

shit about drums? Uh? Please name the songs on which

Speaker 1 (01:39:14):
Oh, wow, I don't know, Charles True, Scott Wilbury, Redemption, Redemption.

Lucky Lefty, Lucky Lefty, Nelson.

Speaker 3 (01:39:30):
And Spike Right, Yeah, the Wilbury's I'm not really up there.

Speaker 1 (01:39:37):
I didn't think you would be a classic example of
the sum not equaling the total of its art's God,
not even close. I didn't know this. Did you know?

Speaker 2 (01:39:49):
Hollywood Vampires was a club drinking club that Alice Cooper formed.
I had no idea that Wils Cooper and Mickey Dolan
is Keith Moon, Harry Nilsen, John Lennon Ringo. I had
no idea that that band was where that was where
that named after Okay that that doesn't count. Which what
song did Elton John write for Ringo Elton and Bernie.

(01:40:11):
I have no idea on the nineteen seventy four album
good Night Vienna. I don't know Snooker Roo anything now.

Speaker 3 (01:40:23):
I think Beatles four or no sorry. Ringo four I
think was famous for being like the closest thing to
a Beatle reunion that ever happened, because all the Beatles
appeared on it because everybody loves Ringo.

Speaker 1 (01:40:36):
They do. It's so cute.

Speaker 3 (01:40:38):
I mean even like in some of the last recordings
that John made you hear him run through songs like
I think nobody told me was one and grow old
with Me.

Speaker 1 (01:40:50):
I think was supposed to be another.

Speaker 3 (01:40:52):
Where he would say, Oh, this one's gonna be great
for Ringo, Like even years later, he's still like in
the back of his mind earmarking stuff for his old friend.

Speaker 1 (01:41:00):
Oh here's a great one. Uh. Producer Jack Douglass brought
in members of Cheap Trick to play on which John
Lennon solo album or solo songs songs? Oh Wow, I'm
losing you correct, and well, there's a trick question because

(01:41:21):
the other one is a Yoko Ono song. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it was Double Fancies. Right before he died. The Yoko
on A song is I'm Moving on.

Speaker 3 (01:41:29):
There's an interesting thing about Jack Douglas. Not to get
close to closing out the show on a bomber note,
I told a story about how, either the night he died,
or like shortly before John died, he was in the
studio in the last couple of the nights before he died.
He said that John told me something that was so upsetting,

(01:41:50):
And it was in the studio and the MIC's were rolling,
it was just the two of us, and it was
like it was something that just shook me to my
core and was deeply, deeply upsetting. And in the wake
of his death, I erased the tapes and I I
won't you know, I won't speak about what it was
that he told me ever, really, And there's been a
lot of yeah, there's been a lot of speculation me.

(01:42:11):
John was very thin by the end of his life,
and there's a lot of people who've you know, some
people are like, oh, yeah, he was just on macrobiotic
diets and you know, the hippie stuff. But some people
thought he maybe had cancer. Some people thought he was
in the depths of some kind of drug addiction. Yeah,
so some people theorized that maybe he confided something about

(01:42:33):
his health to him.

Speaker 1 (01:42:36):
But you know, no one, no one knows. Yes, that's
my that's my main thought about Jack Douglas.

Speaker 2 (01:42:40):
Grim Uh, which iconic UK goth Ish rock band collaborated
with Paul McCartney in the nineties, goth rock band post punk,
post punk goth rock. One member from this band under
a pseudonym that Youth the Fireman, correct Martin Glover of

(01:43:05):
killing joke.

Speaker 3 (01:43:07):
Yes, that's actually If you were to ask me my
favorite Paul McCartney album of the twenty first century, the
album that he had from two thousand and eight called
Electric Arguments, which he released under the name of the Fireman,
is pretty great. It's the most raw and the most
like you could tell he's having fun that i've heard

(01:43:28):
him on record since, like ram Era, he's really because
I think the idea behind the album was, in a
very Paul way, We're going to come into the studio
every day and write and record a song, not spend
more than a day on it. We're going to come
in with nothing and make it up and then go
And that was the result, which is why I think
it sounds so fresh. And the opening track is called

(01:43:52):
nothing too much, just out of sight, And that was
a phrase that a London percussionist from Nigeria.

Speaker 1 (01:44:00):
I believe.

Speaker 3 (01:44:01):
I'm embarrassed that I don't remember his name. I'm sorry,
uh used to say in the sixties. And this was
the same guy that used to say oh blood, oh blood,
life goes on.

Speaker 1 (01:44:11):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:44:12):
Paul borrowed it from and then Paul caught him a
check after that song came out.

Speaker 1 (01:44:15):
I don't remember his name. I feel bad, but that
was another phrase from that guy, nothing too much, just
out of sight. Wow, it's a good phrase. It is
well in that spirit. I gentleman, Lily cancede you the
victor of Beatles versus blood. You are truly, you are truly,
nothing too far and out of sight ubla dah, trivia

(01:44:41):
goes on. I don't know, dude. If folks like this, well,
maybe we'll do another one like this some other time.
I believe the other topics fun. The other topics floated
were jazz and for me and what was yours makes
sense for me. I don't know about you it jazz,

(01:45:02):
I feel what else could could we conceivably do for you.
Maybe punk rock? What do you like? Punk rock? Yeah,
punk rock words, Yeah, swamp Thing, Alan Morris nineteen eighty's
Run on the swamp Thing, wolver Wolverine. Yeah, there's some
comics in there. Yeah. Since uh now I'm just looking
